Chapter 422: Passion
Deming High School's sudden bag defense caught him off guard at the beginning of the second half, and the midline was caught off guard, which Gao Jing focused on training when giving defensive lessons to the players, forcing the ball carrier into the corner and forcing him to pass.
Of course, as long as it is a bag, it will inevitably bring loopholes, and others need to fill in the leaks, and people are always not as fast as the ball is transferred, if the ball is transferred fast enough, the defender's holes can be pulled bigger and bigger.
However, Deming High School has an all-purpose glue that can fill in the gaps everywhere - An Runzhou.
In the first half, An Runzhou played decently, grabbing rebounds, guarding the basket, and occasionally coming to a few jumpers on the offensive end, so that Lizhong had no chance to score under the basket, but as a center, he didn't bring any damage to Lizhong on the inside - this is not his strong point.
An Runzhou is just an average tall man on the offensive end, and in terms of back body skills, not to mention compared with Ganzhi, he can't even compare to the white leaves on the opposite side.
However, this does not prevent him from becoming the best center in the South Region, becoming the "Wolverine" that everyone fears and even fears like a tiger, which is entirely due to his superb defensive ability, whether it is a single defense or a co-defense, he can do it without leaks.
And he can be like the leader of the wolf pack, command the whole team to defend, especially the opponent's outside ball holder, and constantly bite the defense, which is a nightmare for many players who lack pressure resistance.
Skill, enthusiasm and aggression are the secrets of An Runzhou's energy and vitality on the defensive end, and in the early games, An Runzhou struggled to bring up his enthusiasm because his opponents always lost their ability to resist quickly. For the leader of the pack, if the prey does not fall early, then he does not have to show his fangs.
But Licheng Middle School, especially Lu Yuan, the performance in the first half inspired An Runzhou's strong competitiveness, and after the successful steal and dunk, he returned to the backcourt, leaned down and patted the floor hard, as if declaring war on the whole team of Lizhong.
"Neuropathy. β
Bai Ye saw An Runzhou's appearance and gave him a roll of the eyes.
But perhaps, on the basketball court, only neuropathy can survive on the defensive end.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Wu Peng passed half this time, and did not pass to Lu Yuan immediately, but observed it, and gave the ball to Bai Ye in the left waist position, An Runzhou immediately came up to cooperate with the bag, Bai Ye came out of the ball very quickly, and it was distributed to Lu Yuan at the top of the arc, Wang Yourong was already empty, Lu Yuan did not hesitate, and a straight plug passed to the basket.
Wang Yourong received the ball, turned over and was about to go straight to the basket, but An Runzhou, who was still helping to defend Baiye just now, had already made up for it, he jumped high and pressed the ball in Wang Yourong's hand directly!
A cap!
The ball bounced to the ground, and a group of people rushed up to grab it, and finally Bai Ye and An Runzhou held the ball and twisted into a ball, and the referee blew the whistle and blew the ball for the two sides.
Bai Ye let go and stood up from the ground, but An Runzhou still didn't let go of the ball, and smashed his head twice with the ball.
Bai Ye looked at him and thought, what's wrong with this guy?
"An Runzhou is different from the first half. β
Lin Xin saw An Runzhou's appearance from a distance, he still knew this guy well, and knew that An Runzhou was like this, he was forcing himself to get excited.
Different people have different styles of playing, some people are calm and decisive, some people are passionate, relatively speaking, the offense is more cold-blooded, and the defense is often passionate, which is determined by the different division of labor on the field.
An Runzhou is undoubtedly the latter.
In the Dunman High School basketball team, because of Yao Guangzhi's requirements, the whole team is like an army, everything has strict discipline and norms, and personal character is suppressed.
Therefore, as the captain of the team, An Runzhou looks calm and steady most of the time, which is Yao Guangzhi's request for him.
But if the game is extremely intense and stimulates his competitive spirit, then everything will go out of control, and An Runzhou will become more and more irritable until it feels like he is going to eat people.
Now, Bai Ye stood in front of An Runzhou face to face, and he felt that this guy's eyes seemed to be eating people.
The two competed for the ball, An Runzhou's height and bounce had an absolute advantage, and he easily won the ball, and he roared after landing, as if it was not a scramble, but a dunk.
Subsequently, on the offensive end, it was a high-level block and dismantling, after the first half of the block, An Runzhou retreated out, and received the ball when he had the opportunity to shoot a long-distance jumper, but this time he chose to cut in.
Du Qiming hung high, An Runzhou jumped up to catch the ball, turned around and made a feint, and then a crossover passed Wang Yourong and won a one-handed dunk under the basket!
"An Runzhou's change of direction dunk! from Wolverine's roar!"
This time, An Runzhou, who was successful in dunking, finally yelled in front of the audience, like the wolf king on a moonlit night, gathering his companions to attack the opponent.
"The rest of Lizhong has to stand up, do they think that relying only on Lu Yuan and Bai Ye can suppress Deming High School at both offensive and defensive ends? It's so naΓ―ve, unless Lu Yuan scores 60 points in a single game, otherwise this ball can't be won. β
Liang Boyu looked at An Runzhou's violent performance and knew that this guy was starting to exert his strength, and Lizhong's side would die ugly if he faced the changes in the defensive end of Deming High School and played like in the first half.
"It's been a while since I've seen Xiao An play like this, and I thought he would at least save his energy for the semi-finals. β
Yao Guangzhi, who was sitting on the bench upright, watched An Runzhou's performance, and a lot of thoughts popped up in his mind.
He has always called An Runzhou "Xiao An", although An Runzhou doesn't like this name at all, but the coach wants to shout like this, and he can't help it.
Yao Guangzhi still remembers that on the first day of the basketball team's report in the first year of high school, An Runzhou clashed with his teammates in the team's training game.
Later, An Runzhou's style of liking people on the field has not changed much, regardless of teammates or opponents. And his performance is also very outstanding, and he quickly secured the position of the team's starting center, leading Deming High School all the way through the test, and he was also awarded the Most Valuable Player in the Southern Division, which can be described as a young pride.
Until the finals that year, at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center, he met Huaqing High School, met the person he couldn't defeat, that battle, Gan made 15 of 15 shots, scored 40 points, made 10 free throws, scored 40 points, created a record of 100% shooting rate in the NHBA finals, and defeated Deming High School to win the championship.
For An Runzhou, that was the biggest setback he had ever encountered since he came to the basketball court, and it was from that summer that Yao Guangzhi began to call him "Xiao An", which means that when he plays, he can be quieter.
"Power should be used where it should be used, and unleashing it indiscriminately can sometimes hurt your teammates and yourself. β
On the field, An Runzhou's mind recalled the words Yao Guangzhi had said to him, and whenever he felt hot-headed, he would use this sentence to calm himself down.
But at this moment, he thought, "Now, it's time for my power to be released, right?"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
45:50, in the second half, Lizhong has not been able to score, whenever Lu Yuan or Bai Ye takes the ball, someone must come over to wrap the bag, Deming High School's bag is tight like a compressed sandwich, giving people little space to dribble, and they are very skillful to drive the opponent to both sides, increasing the difficulty of the opponent holding the ball.
The best way to crack the bag is not to do it brutely, but to pass the ball, Lu Yuan understands this truth, but passing the ball out, no matter who it is in the hands of, Lu Yuan has found a problem - there will definitely be someone in front of this person, and this person is An Runzhou nine times out of ten.
When the pass was passed, it was obviously still empty, and when the ball arrived, it was made up.
Pass again, there are still people to make up for it, pass it again, you can also make up for the defense, and after a circle, the ball returned to Lu Yuan's hand, and there were still two people in front of him who were sandwiching him!
In Deming High School in the second half, there seemed to be one more person on the field when defending, but when you look closely, there are indeed only five.
In the end, Lizhong's offense overtimed, and Deming High School used their extremely swift defensive argument to force Lizhong's offense violation.
An Runzhou applauded desperately like crazy, loudly encouraging the players, on the domestic basketball court, it is rare to see a player like him who likes to shout, but the defensive passion he brings to his teammates is obvious.
Turning around, Deming High School hit again in the attack, Fei Yi used Zhu Zhaolun's cover, received the ball outside the three-point line on the left wing, took the ball directly, and hit the three-point shot!
At 45:53, just after the opening of the second half, Deming played a 7:0 in Lizhong.
