"Well, we've seen Rickard make some changes to the lineup on the pitch, it's ..... five up, five down!? It's really a bold attempt, Coach Ricard has all his starters in one go, and he doesn't worry about his starters running out of energy in the second half? The game is not two minutes, it's a full five! But this is probably the only way to turn back the slump. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info"Philips didn't stop talking during the pause.

"Remember, Pack, show him to death!" Chris yelled from below as the Wildcats players came on the court at the end of the timeout, reminding the players of the tactics he had just arranged.

………………..

In the first attack after the pause, An Jie received the ball again on the inside, and the person who defended him behind his back was still Martins, who was specially replaced to defend An Jie.

When An Jie was about to chisel under the basket, he found that in addition to the center in the back, there was also an extra defender in front of him. The Wildcats actually used a double bag on themselves!

"No one knew who the Asian big man was before the game, but now he has become a strong point in the Whirlwinds' attack. See, Chris actually used a trap tactic on this little-known guy. Now everyone present knows that the high school striker named An Jie is not easy to mess with!" the narrator continued to tease.

Anjie didn't panic in the face of the bag, he calmly passed the ball to Anthony Ben. After An Jie passed the ball, the small forward who came over from the opponent immediately returned to his position, not giving Ben a chance to break through at all. Ben didn't let the basketball stay in his hands for long, he decisively passed the ball back to Taylor, and asked him to reorganize the offense.

Taylor raised his hand to signal his teammates to hurry up and run as Ricard said. The Wildcats' tired players are feeling a little overwhelmed, and the holes in the defense are getting bigger and bigger as a result.

After playing a pick-and-roll match, the Whirlwinds' shooting guard Cruze ran to the right of the three-point line at 45 degrees and got an open shot. Cruze's handling and athleticism are not very good, and the reason why he was able to fight for the position of starting point guard was because of his accurate shooting. Tony Cruze, a standard mobile turret.

Taylor was quick to see the space and sent the ball to Cruze in time. Facing the defender who was still three steps away from him, Cruze did not hesitate and made a decisive three-point shot. The basketball gracefully fell into the hoop, only to be flooded with white waves.

Three-point hit! The Whirlwinds instantly narrowed the gap to just five points!

"It's another damn off-ball block!" Chris looked at with rage from below. The Whirlwinds' off-ball pick-and-rolls are just too frequent and ingenious, and they have already dropped points more than once because of the success of the opponent's off-ball pick-and-roll.

While the defense is getting more and more porous, the offensive quality of the Wildcats without Beasley is also miserable. Either the shot knocked out of the frame, or the breakthrough was blocked by Anjie or Morris. Beasley had been playing alone for the entire game, and now without him, the rest of the Wildcats had forgotten how to attack.

"Maya, Maya, Maya!, physical confrontation, physical confrontation!" Ricard shouted from the sidelines that only the Whirlwind players could understand, not because he was afraid that the players would forget about his plan, but because he wanted to stimulate the nerves of the players on the field with constant shouting and keep them in a state of high tension at all times.

From the moment the ball was served, the Whirlwinds players used full-court pressing. They keep pestering their opponents just to drain your already exhausted physical strength.

Anjie and Martins even started the battle near the center circle, and they kept colliding with each other and pushing each other. Martins just wanted to run past half and settle for a position, and Anjie didn't let him take it easy.

"Damn!" Martins, who was annoyed by the harassment, became angry and directly pushed An Jie to the ground.

An Jie also accepted this "gift" unceremoniously, he fell backwards with a slight exaggeration, and then spread his hands and looked at the referee innocently.

"Offensive fouls, exchange of possession!" was the referee's final decision.

"What!" Martins stepped forward to reason with the referee, but what was the use? he had already pushed people first, although An Jie had added some acting elements when he fell to the ground.

"If your opponent pushes you too hard in hand-to-hand combat, you can find a way to amplify his push for you. Anyway, he did push you, you just added some material on top of him pushing you. If you can create an offensive foul and get the ball for your team, there's nothing to be ashamed of. If you want me to say, this is also part of the defense!" This is the "unique skill" that Morris taught to Anjie when Morris and Anjie were chatting in the past. I didn't expect An Jie to learn and use it so quickly.

"Haha, this kid, I can't see that it's still a little bad. In the audience, a middle-aged bearded man praised An Jie's performance just now.

………………..

After the offense, An Jie was still caught by the Wildcats on the inside. However, there is not much point in doing so, because in addition to An Jie, the Whirlwind team can now be said to be more flowering. In the face of the whirlwind's whirlwind of movement, the Wildcats' defenders were already running out.

Mike Taylor dribbled past the alignment and hit a pull-up jump shot.

Morris forced the inside line, easily withstood the overdrawn alignment, and scored with a hook hand.

Cruze fired again from beyond the three-point line, and the basketball spun around the hoop three times before falling into the net.

Anthony Ben completed a wonderful dunk as he wished, and his own counterpoint went to trap Anjie, he couldn't let Anjie sacrifice in vain. The audience cheered for this defensive perimeter who had been working silently.

An Jie easily completed a turnaround shot when the opponent's small forward had not yet come over, and Martins behind An Jie had no choice but to symbolically jump up and interfere. However, that still couldn't stop the Whirlwinds from hitting a fifth in a row.

"Blow him up!"

"Are you scared!

"Martins!

The Whirlwinds played an 11-0 offensive climax, which also completely ignited the enthusiasm of the fans. There was a lot of shouting on the court, either to cheer on the Whirlwinds or to put pressure on the Wildcats.

With a minute and a half left before halftime, the score was 40-43 and the Whirlwinds were three points ahead.

"I'm going to play!" Beasley couldn't hold back on the bench.

"We have twenty minutes left in the second half, and I hope to have a physical you to finish the game!" Chris declined Beasley's request.

"The Cyclones are so integral, the players on the pitch are always willing to share the ball with each other and work together very well. After all, there are no stars in this team, and if they want to win, they have to rely on the five people on the field to work together. On the other hand, the Wildcats, without Beasley, they are two teams. It seems that without Beasley, the remaining 14 players of the Wildcats don't know how to play. "Philips is full of praise for its hometown team.

"But Paul, Coach Ricard's move is also very risky. In the first half, he fought like this, and in the second half, can his starters still be able to impress?" Beal questioned Ricard's five-up and five-down substitutions and the pressing tactics he used early on.

"Coach Ricard is young, but as things stand, he's a clear-headed and creative coach. I don't think you have to worry about that, Coach Ricard must have calculated that maybe we'd see something crazier in the second half. ”

………………..

Martins kept beckoning for the ball on the inside, and he had been saying from the opening that he would clean up the yellow-skinned kid, but he was the one who had been humiliated so far.

The Wildcats' point guard didn't have an offensive idea in mind, and his only task in previous games was to pass the ball to Beasley and flash it to the side, and sometimes even Beasley himself dribbled the ball through half court, and he would even be omitted to pass the ball to Beasley. Now, when he sees someone asking for the ball, he passes it without thinking, and he's used to the rhythm of the game.

Martins was impatient to score when he got the ball, but he didn't have any great skill to speak of, and the only thing he could do was push back. The frizzy Martins symbolically pushed back twice, then turned straight to force a layup.

Anjie did not miss the second "gift" given to him by Martins, and he calmly observed Martins' movements to prevent himself from fouling. Then, when Martins thought he had pushed off the skinny Anjie and started to make a layup, Anjie fanned the ball out of Martins' hand with a slight jump.

There is really no difficulty in covering this ball, and An Jie feels that he can't get excited. But Martins on the side was completely devastated, and he was covered by this unheard of Chinese today without any chance.

If a player loses confidence in himself, how can he play well?

With Taylor's half-volley hit again, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the half.

The Wildcats walked down the tunnel with their heads bowed down one by one, but they were now five points behind and were beaten 13-0 by their opponents in the last five minutes. They were so ashamed that they didn't dare to look up for fear of being photographed by media reporters.

On the other side, the Whirlwind team did not relax because of the score lead, and the players walked back to the locker room with serious expressions one by one. After all, it's like Chris said to Beasley. They still have a full twenty minutes to go into the second half. It's too early to be happy, I'm afraid that the second half of the game will be happy and sad.
