Chapter 419: Born Pitcher
After hitting the jumper again, Lu Yuan's scores today all came from the middle distance, from two 45 degrees, and he was very confident in his hand, which was both born and accumulated after hard training.
In fact, Lu Yuan is a natural pitcher, but on the stage of high school, his speed and bounce are too impressive, plus he has been in contact with basketball for less than a year, it is hard for people to believe that Lu Yuan will be a pitcher, and even Gao Jing does not think so.
Only Lu Yuan himself is sure of this, so, when necessary, he dares to use a jumper to end the game, and dares to use a jumper to save the team at a critical moment.
As early as when he first joined the basketball team, when he learned the jump shooting technique from Zhang Run, Lu Yuan fell in love with this beautiful basketball technique, and soon realized with his keen intuition that this is the most important technique in the basketball game.
The reason is very simple, in basketball, no matter how good a team is, there must be one person to throw the ball in the end, and no matter what tactics they run and what kind of cooperation they use before the ball is thrown, if the final ball is missed, everything is zero.
This is the core of the charm of basketball, rationality and emotion, individual and team, hard work and opportunity, and the jump shot is the epitome of this charm.
Therefore, Lu Yuan has never stopped honing his jump shooting skills, especially when he was in the United States, Teresa strengthened his shooting skills, and gave Lu Yuan stable shooting movements and plucking skills while further consolidating his core strength.
And all this, Lu Yuan did not show in training or games - because so far, no team has forced him to show his shooting skills frequently.
Today's situation is different, Lu Yuan must throw, in a few rounds of confrontation, Lu Yuan can gap, An Runzhou's defense on the inside line is not easy to deal with, if you want to fight the bayonet to enter the inside line, the first half may suffer, he would rather save this opportunity for the second half, to a more critical time.
Before that, he could only take advantage of the two small holes in Deming High School at 45 degrees and use the shot to create a threat to the opponent. The defense of Deming High School is so solid, Liang Boyu's words are very reasonable, Wangshan runs a dead horse, instead of running forward with different tricks, it is better to find another way.
And all this, Lu Yuan completed his thinking and ideas in five minutes the day before yesterday, and put them into practice in today's game, people with simple and straightforward minds are really more suitable for the sport of basketball.
Deming High School's offense slowed down, they still had the same set of tactics interspersed with high blocking and dismantling the bottom line, Lizhong returned to the man-to-man defense, not out of position, and finally Gu Xianbin missed the shot under Chen Cai's interference, Wang Yourong grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the ball was handed over to Lu Yuan's hands.
Lu Yuan didn't launch a quick counterattack, he knew that it was useless, Deming's retreat was indeed terrifying, and a quick attack was a waste of time and physical strength.
He dribbled to the front court and observed Deming's defense, An Runzhou obviously expanded a little, standing a little below the free throw line, and the middle was still his world. Xing Rui was on the right flank, Gu Xianbin was on the left flank, and Lu Yuan decided to take the left flank.
He beckoned to Chen Cai, Chen Cai came over to block and dismantle Lu Yuan, and after blocking people, Lu Yuan took a stride and moved sideways, and jumped directly in one step within the three-point line.
As soon as the ball is shot, it doesn't feel right, the force is small, and it is short.
"It's short!"
Lu Yuan shouted, Chen Cai had already rushed in after blocking people, the ball bounced out on the edge of the basket, just as Chen Cai stepped forward to get the ball, Lu Yuan took a step inside, Chen Cai redistributed the ball to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan received the ball and threw it again!
This time the two-point shot, 28:22, Lizhong recovered a little more.
After the goal, Lu Yuan and Chen Cai lightly high-fived, Chen Cai's sense of rebounding in the front court was indeed not covered, and the pass was very timely, Lu Yuan also shot very decisively after receiving the ball, and if it was someone else, the ball might have stabilized and played slowly.
But Lu Yuan knew that if he stabilized and fought slowly, Lizhong's positional attack would not be able to break Deming's positional defense. There is no strong attack in the low post, no three-point in the bottom corner, no breakthrough in the middle, and the head is used to play the position.
"Lu Yuan hit another shot, we had enough of his magical breakthrough in the last game, I didn't expect his shooting to feel so good today. Let's take a look at the counterattack of Deming High School, this time the ball hit the inside line, An Runzhou faced Wang Yourong, shook his shoulders in the low post and turned over and jumped to hit two points!"
Deming made a change this time, letting An Runzhou hit Wang Yourong in the low post, and An Runzhou made a shoulder-shaking turnaround jumper after receiving the ball - although Wang Yourong didn't go up at all, An Runzhou still habitually leaned back, as if he didn't feel comfortable throwing the ball.
There is no doubt that Dunman High School's guard Du Qiming's control of the offensive rhythm is still quite sophisticated, this first-year freshman, in addition to shooting is more average, all other aspects are quite outstanding, and the most important thing is that in the Deming basketball team full of seniors, as a commander, he dares to assign and arrange tactics, which shows that his courage is outstanding.
Therefore, when Lu Yuan got the ball again, Du Qiming and Fei Yi exchanged positions, and Du Qiming wanted to defend Lu Yuan in person, slightly reducing Fei Yi's defensive pressure, so that he could devote more time to attacking.
Although Du Qiming is a point guard, he is about the same height as Fei Yi, he still has an advantage in arm span, and his defensive footsteps are more solid, so it is indeed a waste for him to defend against Wu Peng.
Du Qiming's defensive style is not the same as Fei Yi's, Fei Yi's defense is very clean, completely relying on technique and positioning, and Du Qiming's small movements are a lot, from the beginning of Lu Yuan taking the ball, he kept digging around, which made the ball holder very uncomfortable.
This time, Lu Yuan chose to take a step from the front, then dribbled back under his crotch, and stepped directly on the three-point line to jump, Du Qiming reacted quickly, was not shaken away by Lu Yuan, and his hand was covered in front of Lu Yuan's eyes.
"Peng!"
The ball smashed on the blue neck and didn't hit, the ball bounced high, and a group of people surrounded the basket, An Runzhou bore the brunt of the rebound, but it turned out that Chen Cai was the first to take the first step, hit the ball with his hand, then landed, jumped again, pushed the ball aside, and then won the rebound.
As soon as he won the ball, Chen Cai immediately found Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan had already taken a step closer to the ball, received the ball, ignored Du Qiming's defense, pulled it up and threw it!
"Huh!"
This time the two-point shot hit two goals in a row, the first ball missed, Chen Cai grabbed the pass to Lu Yuan and then threw it, and he could score a little inside.
"It seems like it's going to have to go a little bit in, a little bit deeper. ”
Lu Yuan thought to himself, he had to get closer, one step closer, this was the step, and the hit rate might be a world apart.
But this step is not so easy to enter, the defense created by Yao Guangzhi, a step inside the 45-degree 3-point line, you can throw, because the efficiency here is the lowest, and if you want to move forward, it is not so easy.
Looking back, Deming's offense didn't hit again, Xing Rui's breakthrough was prevented by Chen Cai, this guy made a small move, and lightly pushed it when he went to the basket, and as a result, Xing Rui lost his balance and went up.
Bai Ye grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and passed the ball to Lu Yuan, this time Lu Yuan quickly passed the half, Du Qiming followed closely, An Runzhou had returned to the three-second zone, and the defense was really fast.
However, Lu Yuan did not stop, he killed from the right side of 45 degrees, who is familiar with the direction he is good at, and then suddenly made a sharp stop, a back dribble adjustment, shook off Du Qiming, and at a distance of two steps within the three-point line, he jumped again.
This time, at the right distance, at the right pace, the ball seemed to slide out of the silk along the lines, and then fell steadily into the basket, not even touching the basket.
Another two jumpers!
At 26:30, after Qian Xiaocong ruined the shooting rhythm, relying on Chen Cai's frontcourt rebounds and his own decisiveness, Lu Yuan hit the middle distance in a row and slowly caught up with the score.
Yao Guangzhi sat on the sidelines, looking at Lu Yuan's shot, he also shook his head slightly, thinking that this kid is really resolute, I thought that the adjustment just now should make him stop a little in the first half, who knows, his self-confidence is so strong, and his shot is so decisive.
Deming High School has come to a standstill in the attack, because Lizhong relies on Lu Yuan to attack alone, and the others are seriously defending, so Deming's single battering ram has not broken Lizhong's defense until now.
Fei Yi's three-point shot missed, Chen Cai grabbed the backcourt rebound again, and passed to Lu Yuan again, Lu Yuan held the ball from the sideline and went down quickly, and the three people from Deming High School chased him to defend.
Lu Yuan hit the basket, knowing that An Runzhou was behind him, he suddenly looked back at the moon and threw the ball outside the three-point line - Bai Ye was waiting on the outside, this was the usual tacit cooperation between the two of them, Bai Ye, who received the ball, did not hesitate and shot a three-point shot!
The ball went through the net! Three-point shot! The scene was jubilant, and with his three-point shot, Lizhong had chased the difference back to only one point.
"Amazing, Lizhong's shooting is really amazing. ”
In the stands, Duanmuqu watched in amazement, while Lin Xin thought that if he had known the last game, he should have shot decisively earlier and played a simpler, maybe... Maybe you can lose a little less.
And off the field, Lu Yuan stepped forward and said to Bai Ye: "Yezi, you cast so well, decisive!
"Less TM fart, what does it have to do with you when I shoot decisively, hurry up and return to defense!"
