Chapter 244: Resurrection
In the locker room in Lizhong, everyone behaved calmly, leading by 11 points at halftime, and the opponent was the former super strong team Huifu Middle School, which did not make anyone excited or careless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone wiped their sweat, drank water, chatted, and exchanged their performance in the first half, like a battle-hardened team.
Gao Jing is pleased with the team's mature performance of the players, and it looks like Lizhong will gradually transform into a real powerhouse if nothing else.
Since encountering Changshu Sports Workers in the City Competition, Lizhong has not encountered a truly oppressive challenge so far.
Especially in the "Final Four of Death" defeated Benshi Middle School, which was a strong foreign player, so that the team's confidence was greatly increased, and the next two games were smooth victories, coupled with the successful defeat of the ninth middle school in the last game, the current Lizhong is not the same as a few months ago.
Gao Jing originally wanted to remind the players not to be careless because of consecutive wins, but it seems that these boys are not particularly complacent.
"Let them keep playing, believe in them. Gao Jing swallowed her words, and she believed that the team could play well in the second half.
Maybe Gao Jing didn't realize it herself, her mentality was also paralyzed, she only took into account the mentality and condition of her players, and thought that they had no problems.
But they didn't think about their opponents, and they didn't care what kind of adjustments their opponents would make.
She forgot that the opponent was Huifu Middle School, a strong team that had been the same for 20 years, that their coach was the famous vulture Wang Minqi, that the opponent's center Xie Gezhi didn't play a minute in the first half, and that this big guy brought a sense of shock to East China when he just landed in the NHBA in his freshman year of high school - even higher than Lin Xin.
People are always forgetful, especially in good times, and Gao Jing is no exception.
After a fifteen-minute break, players from both sides returned to the pitch and the second half of the game would continue.
Lizhong's starting lineup has not changed, and since Wang Yourong replaced Zhang Fan as the starting lineup, he has become more and more accustomed to this position and role.
He hasn't vomited today, except for the fact that seeing the Xuhui Twin Towers the day before yesterday made him a little uncomfortable, more often, Wang Yourong is no longer afraid of anyone - of course, this is what he himself cheered himself up.
However, there was a change in the starters of Huifu High School, and Xie Gezhi, wearing the number 4 jersey, took to the court.
He is 2.03 meters tall, only a little shorter than Wang Yourong. His shoulders are not as broad and strong as Wang's, but he has a pair of sturdy long arms and a pair of large hands.
He has a mature face, and he is like a pair with the vicious Wang Yourong, but Wang Yourong doesn't think so, he is slightly nervous.
As the referee's whistle blew, Hui Fu Middle School served and attacked, Xie Gezhi served to the bottom line, gave the ball to Sun Li, and then said to Sun Li: "Later, give me the ball first." ”
After speaking, Xie Gezhi ran towards the front court, Sun Li was slightly stunned, but then reacted.
Sun Li is only a freshman in high school this year, and he is an arrogant defender, one of the few players in the team who dares to shake his face with Wang Minqi.
In the past, he had never looked down on Xie Gezhi, he had only heard of Xie Gezhi's prestige back then, and when he joined Huifu, Xie Gezhi was already a medicine jar, stopping and stopping, and his personality was dull, and he had no sense of presence in the team.
Therefore, when it comes to Huifu now, it is more about "Zwilling people" than Xie Gezhi.
But today, in the locker room, he saw Xie Gezhi's roar with his own eyes, and he finally remembered Xie Gezhi's former nickname, which is rarely mentioned now, he is called "Shishi".
…………………………
Xie Gezhi ran past half court, he went straight down the middle lane to the three-second zone, and then turned around and blocked Wang Yourong in a card position.
It's a completely different change from the first half, where the offense came from the low post.
Sun Li hoisted the ball to Xie Gezhi, and Xie Gezhi took the ball, which was a confrontation between two giant beasts under the basket.
But obviously, Wang Yourong was not prepared, Xie Gezhi turned his back to push Wang Yourong away, and then hit a one-handed board throw.
Xie Gezhi wanted too deep in the position, and when he turned around, the basket was close in front of him, and he could easily hit it.
It was not an easy task to squeeze Wang Yourong away, Xie Ge gave 100% strength to his legs, but it seemed that he didn't care about his ankles at all.
Wang Yourong looked a little depressed, and he couldn't even remember who the last person to score a low single score on his head was.
No, he always shoots from the outside, and Fang Qiang and Wang Yourong are not afraid of him at all.
But this one is different.
No one else could push him off, as long as he was focused and 100 percent committed, but this Xie Gezhi did it.
Wang Yourong felt that his heartbeat was a little accelerated, he went to the baseline to serve, and Wu Peng held the ball through the half.
The Lizhong players have not yet felt the change in Huifu, they are still following the rhythm of the first half, Bai Ye is holding the ball in the high position, and Wang Yourong mentions the line to cover.
But Xie Gezhi was different from Lou Pulin, he did not choose to go out, but guarded the three-second zone, like a stone lion guarding the gate.
Wu Peng and Zou Zhou completed a cross change, Wu Peng cut directly to the inside line, Bai Ye did not pass the ball to Zou Zhou and then hoist it to Wu Peng, but boldly made a low flat pass and stuffed it into the inside line.
It was a difficult pass that went past the two defenders and went smoothly into Wu Peng's hands.
In the first half, Bai Ye's pass almost broke through Huifu's defense, which can be described as tried and tested.
But this time, their coordinated attack was rejected by their opponents.
Inside, Wu Peng obviously underestimated Xie Gezhi's defensive control range, and he chose to throw directly after receiving the ball, thinking that leaving Xie Gezhi in a position could not be interfered with.
Who knew that the stone lion moved like a living lion, Xie Gezhi stepped forward and gave a big hat to Wu Peng.
Huifu Middle School grabbed the ball and started a counterattack, and the confident Sun Li dribbled on the outside, and shot it outside the three-point line.
As a result, the ball smashed into the front of the basket and missed, but Xie Gezhi had already rushed to the basket, he was ahead of Wang Yourong in speed, he grabbed the rebound in the front court, and then immediately jumped up and dunked with both hands!
After the goal, Xie Gezhi threw his fist and roared, at this time he looked much more mature than his peers, no longer "ugly", but incomparable "domineering", like a roaring lion.
Wang Yourong was late behind him, and his head was sweating when he saw Xie Gezhi's slam dunk and roar.
He took the ball again and served from the baseline, as if to alleviate a little of his guilt for not being able to defend in time.
Because Wang Yourong knows that apart from defense, he can hardly contribute anything on the offensive end.
Xie Gezhi's recovery made the momentum of the whole Huifu suddenly rise, as if at this time they remembered that there was such a player in the team, their captain, a dominant center forward.
The players in Lizhong also forgot him, or he did not appear in the memory of the players in Lizhong at all, and Gao Jing did not prepare too much for Xie Gezhi before the game because he was injured too much.
The last game and the first half of this one confirmed her thoughts, and the lion seemed to be dead.
But now, it seems, he has come back to life.
……………………
When Sheger forgot about the injury on his ankle and stopped cowering and cautiously, the former Returning Stone Lion began to show his immense power.
In high school, height and strength are often decisive, and a tall center can instantly change the situation on the field.
Not to mention a player like Xie Gezhi, he is different from Mao Zhiyuan, his style of play is domineering, and he is delicate, his offensive skills are single but effective, and his defense is very deterrent.
When he was a freshman in high school, he was as famous as Gan Zhizhi and An Runzhou, known as "a lion in front of the door, a wolf behind him, he can't advance, he can't retreat, he looks up, and there is a Buddha in the sky." ”
Nicknamed the Stone Lion, a lion in front of the goal means that he has excellent protection for the three-second zone, he doesn't like to expand the defense, he doesn't like to wander and sweep, he just wants to squat under the basket, and whoever wants to come in and step on me.
As a result, Lizhong's offense suddenly came to a standstill, the inside line couldn't get in, the air cut had no effect, and the defense of the entire Huifu was raised by two notches.
On the offensive end, they gave up the center high cover tactics that Wang Minqi had always wanted to achieve, and Xie Gezhi played the inside and ate hard in the low post.
Wang Yourong's defense was challenged like never before, and when Xie Gezhi grabbed the frontcourt rebound under the basket, struggled to push away Wang Yourong, dunked vigorously with one arm, and caused Wang Yourong to foul, Wang Yourong's psychological defense collapsed.
He suddenly had stomach cramps and retched while holding on to the basket, he just vomited some sour water, and the referee immediately stopped the game.
The teammates hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and Gao Jing took this opportunity to replace Wang Yourong and let Zhang Fan play.
At this time, Huifu Middle School had already tied the score, and with Xie Ge hitting a free throw, Huifu overtook by one point!
Wang Yourong sat on the sidelines, he looked very uncomfortable after throwing up just now, and what was even more uncomfortable was his mood, because he found that he couldn't prevent Xie Gezhi at all, and at the same time, he couldn't give his teammates any help on the offensive end.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Wang Yourong said sorry to Gao Jing, the ups and downs of the first and second halves made him a little unprepared and a little unbearable.
Gao Jing patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing, the game isn't over yet, it's too early to say sorry." Adjust it, you'll be back on the field later. ”
Wang Yourong nodded, but at this time, let alone playing, he didn't even dare to look at the situation on the court.
Xie Gezhi hit the free throw, and they really overtook it, under the leadership of the resurrected Xie Gezhi!
But before the players had time to rejoice, a white lightning bolt split from the back to the front.
Sheger yelled, "Defend back!" and slammed into the three-second zone.
He's fast, he's keeping up, he's going to cover the opponent's counter layup.
Shegezhi is in great shape right now, and he feels like he can cover any layup from his opponent, including this one in front of him, and he is close at hand.
But the ball was gone, and he slapped it into the air, and the man took the ball, huddled in the air, and then made a layup with his left hand, on the other side, with a low hand.
The ball spun in the air, hit the rebound, spun and bounced into the basket, scored two points, and regained the lead.
Kaisuke's lead lasted only five seconds.
"No. 18, Lu Yuan, good guy. Xie Gezhi looked at the back of the goalscorer and made a note of him.
