Chapter 285: Forcing out their main force
The audience entered a small climax because of Lu Yuan's dunk, and Jensen began to twist his ass and dance on the sidelines, this guy has become more and more lively since he stopped being a bodyguard.
A teammate stepped forward and gave Lu Yuan a light high-five, it seems that Lu Yuan can only dunk so far, but even if he can only dunk, what is more enjoyable than dunking on the opponent's head?
For this group of high school students, the morale boost brought by a block and a dunk is almost immediate, and they are obviously working harder on the next defense.
They forgot about the huge point difference and the frustration caused by the blow in the first half, and got back into the game.
Palisades has a bench lineup in high school, and it is difficult for a high school team to gather a whole high-level team, because those very good players are always scattered in many schools, so Palisad's bench team is not as dominant as the starters.
39 points, the gap is still desperately big, but Palisades High School doesn't seem to be very good at offense, Lu Yuan and Pan Sen together to pack Carpenter, although Carpenter escaped the encirclement, but when he passed the ball to his teammates, they had lost their best offensive opportunity, and another three-point shot missed.
Lu Yuan got a rebound that popped up far away, this time he launched an attack from the middle, and straight-line acceleration is his forte, all the way over the middle circle, the three-point line, the three-second zone, and under the combination of two opponents, he used a beautiful dodge to change hands and layup to get two points!
Lu Yuan's speed and counterattack made the entire Wilson High School's offense refreshing, and at this time, the Wilson High School players on the court realized that maybe they just had to defend well and then let Lu Yuan attack quickly, he was too fast.
37 points, the score difference has become a little smaller, at this time the coach of Palisades High School can still sit still, but he did not expect that this "China boy" of Wilson High School would be so fast.
Missed two attacks in a row and received a big hat, and Carpenter was holding his breath. At the beginning of the second half, he made Lu Yuan mix garlic at his feet, and then made a beautiful steal on the defensive end, which made him think that this kid was nothing more than that, who knew that this was a powerful hard bone.
Carpenter, who has played on the streets of Los Angeles since he was a child, of course, will not let Lu Yuan exert his power, he wants to give Lu Yuan some color, and then in the attack, he used his speed to crack the pinching of Lu Yuan and Pan Sen, and then after a continuous crotch dribble, he stepped sideways to the bottom line, and hit a mid-range backward jumper.
After the goal, Carpenter shook his head and stumbled a few times in front of Lu Yuan, which was a street-style provocation.
"Give him some color!"
Jensen shouted from the sidelines, this guy is very into the drama now, cheering for Lu Yuan with all his might.
However, this time Lu Yuan did not say "give me the ball" to his teammates, but continued to let Pan Sen control the ball, because Lu Yuan knew that attacking the ball position was not his strong point, and he would work hard to improve in the future, but it seemed that it would not work today.
Lu Yuan is still better at interspersing running positions, and his flexible running is unique on the court, because in American basketball culture, the skills of running back and going through the back door are not particularly valued, and players and coaches are more interested in the offensive ability with the ball, as well as more direct things such as breakthroughs, three-pointers, rebounds, and blocks.
This time, Lu Yuan went around between three or four players, and Pan Sen found the right opportunity and passed the ball to Lu Yuan, who ran out of space on the right side, Lu Yuan received the ball and turned around and jumped directly, hit it, and scored two more points.
"Beautiful!
Jensen shouted when he saw Lu Yuan's goal, Lu Yuan waved at him, and Lu Yuan was also very excited to be able to throw this goal, because he was not skilled in the technique of running back to catch the ball and jump shot directly, and it was a little lucky to be able to throw.
As Lu Yuan scored another goal and returned Carpenter, the atmosphere at the scene began to be restless, especially the women's basketball players sitting together, and several of them stood up excitedly.
Obviously, everyone is hoping that this game will become a knight duel between Carpenter and Lu Yuan, this is the favorite drama of American fans, you have a goal, I have a goal, and each other's points are the most beautiful.
Carpenter thought the same thing in his heart, he took the ball from his teammates, didn't look for others, just went directly to Lu Yuan, and directly faced Lu Yuan one-on-one in the middle.
Lu Yuan lowered his center of gravity, this time he had to concentrate, he couldn't let Carpenter shake down again.
But Lu Yuan was obviously still not used to Carpenter's speed, and his dribbling was extremely skillful and weird, and a crotch and back turned and wiped past Lu Yuan's left side.
Lu Yuan had to chase closely, but the defensive position had been lost, and his teammates came to help defend, in fact, if Carpenter passed the ball, he would have a chance under the basket, but Carpenter did not, he faced the front and back sandwiches, directly burst into the three-second zone, and made a low-handed layup in the gap, the ball rolled twice on the basket and fell into the net.
It was another wonderful solo show, Lu Yuan wanted to applaud Carpenter, it was indeed too beautiful, the whole process was done in one go, the ball seemed to be stuck to his hand, no matter how many people stepped forward to interfere, he could still firmly control the ball in his hand, and then send it to the basket.
Lu Yuan can't do this kind of dribbling, although he is already very skilled in dribbling, but there is still a big gap between proficiency and this kind of man-ball integration, especially in the case of strong confrontation.
However, Lu Yuan was not intimidated, nor did he think about going head-to-head with Carpenter, but continued to move and run in the attack, and this Carpenter didn't seem to be good at dealing with such off-ball running.
Pan Sen sent a pass again, Lu Yuan cut to the three-second zone, and made a layup directly against the opponent's inside, his bounce speed was so fast that the opponent didn't even have time to jump.
scored another goal, so far, Wilson High School is evenly matched with the opponent in the second half, and the field has become a rivalry between Carpenter and Lu Yuan.
The audience at the scene was excited, there were fewer people playing with their mobile phones, and they began to watch the game seriously, Lu Yuan continued to face Carpenter one-on-one, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he had to find a way to stop Carpenter.
Lu Yuan's thinking is often very simple and linear, and now the problem he faces is that he can't prevent Carpenter, so he has to solve this problem, and the rest can be put aside first.
Carpenter is extremely fast, the dribble is not good, and the whole body is a feint, you block the left and he turns right, you go to the right and he turns left, the speed is very fast, three or two can shake people away, once shaken away, it will be completely passive.
But for a while, Lu Yuan wanted to contain Carpenter, but it was not that simple, Carpenter caught the cover of his teammates this time, cut into the three-second zone from the left side, and then threw with his left hand to hit the board into the basket!
This time he shot very fast, no one jumped up, the ball was already out, Lu Yuan's hand would pass by the side of the ball, did not touch, could only watch the ball into the basket.
This kind of throwing, Lu Yuan encountered it when he played with Mingguang Middle School for the first time, it was Yin Lai, Lu Yuan directly taught him to be a man, but Carpenter was not Yin Lai.
After the goal, Carpenter also punched hard, and it can be seen that he has also entered the state, and he is no longer playing casually like in the first half, feeding the inside line.
However, Carpenter also has troubles, that is, he can't prevent Lu Yuan, this kid can't hold the ball, but it's really weird to run without the ball, there is no routine, he runs blindly, but he can run out of chances.
Sure enough, on the offensive end, Lu Yuan began to lose his running position again, this time he pulled outside the three-point line with a turnaround on the baseline, but this time Panson did not pass the ball, but directly hit the inside, and then distributed the ball to his teammates to make a layup.
It turned out that Lu Yuan's running position attracted the opponent's defense, causing the middle door hole to open, and Pan Sen seized the opportunity to break through the point and assist to score.
Lu Yuan and Pan Sen gave each other a light high-five, and it seemed that the two had some tacit understanding.
Hart was also surprised off the court, Panson has always been a relatively mediocre defender, although his basic skills are very good, but his personal scoring ability is not strong, and his physical fitness is not up to par, I didn't expect the speed dating with this Chinese kid to be quite effective.
Carpenter controls the ball again, Lu Yuan faces the same problem, how to prevent Carpenter?
The difference was still 37 points, and the second half of the game had been played for more than 4 minutes, and it seemed that Wilson High School had no hope of turning the tables, but all the players of Wilson High School began to play the second half as if it were another game.
At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he remembered a defensive strategy that Gao Jing had explained, which might be useful.
So, when Lu Yuan retired from defense, he said hello to the team's black Chinese Limberd, and said a few words to him in simple English, Lu Yuan didn't know how to express it, he could only hope that Limberd could understand what he meant.
Limberd looked at Lu Yuan and didn't react, and then ran back to the three-second zone, although Limberd is a black player, and he is tall and thin, but his physical fitness is average, and his height of 6 feet 4 is really not enough to play center, and because of his thinness and lack of strength, he was beaten out of by Clifford in the first half.
His only advantage is that he has long arms, so he used to play small forward and was pushed to the center position by Hart, which he didn't like at all.
At this time, Carpenter dribbled to the left side again, Lu Yuan was close to him, and suddenly turned to the side, blocked the middle, and released the left.
Seeing this, Carpenter accelerated directly, dribbling with his left hand and hitting the three-point line from the left, thinking that Lu Yuan had misjudged on the defensive end.
However, as soon as Carpenter entered, Limberd jumped out and attacked Lu Yuan on both sides, forcing Carpenter into the dead end of the bottom line.
Carpenter was suddenly unprepared, caught off guard, and saw that he was about to go out of bounds, so he had to hold the ball with both hands, and the ball was dead!
Seeing this, Lu Yuan and Limberd forced the ground tighter, Carpenter had to jump up and pass, but the ball was intercepted by Pan Sen halfway, Lu Yuan took the lead and rushed to the front court when he saw this, Pan Sen made a long pass, Lu Yuan was a peerless ride, several spectators on the sidelines had already stood up, and Jensen raised his arms high.
Lu Yuan jumped high and split the buckle with one hand!
Hart couldn't help but scream, he was very excited, his hands even trembled a little, his heart began to loosen, thinking that maybe this kid could really bring hope.
On the side of Palisades High School, their coach called a timeout, and although there was still a huge advantage of 35 points, in the second half, they had already lost by 6 points, and the situation was going in a bad direction.
The coach looked at the bench and said, "Clifford, ready, play." ”
