Chapter 9: The Duel of Positions (I)
In the first round of the game, in the face of Zhao Chaoyang's defense, Lin Qi did not choose to pass, but very confidently decided to play one himself.
Under the cover of Sun Hao's blocking, Lin Qi broke through from the right side, and it was not until Zhao Chaoyang came to make up for the defense that he used a stop-and-go jump shot to score the first goal of the game.
"Yes" Lin Qi clenched his right hand to vent his passion.
Returning to his own backcourt, Lin Qi saw Zhao Chaoyang coming over, and the muscles in his whole body couldn't help but tense.
"I must guard against you"
Lin Qi said in his heart, his eyes were staring at Zhao Chaoyang, as long as there was a breakthrough or shooting, Lin Qi would react immediately!
Zhao Chaoyang glanced at Lin Qi opposite him, but suddenly threw the ball to his right side and gave it to his teammates.
"Actually passed the ball?"
Looking at the opponent's dribbling posture just now, Lin Qiman thought that the opponent would choose to hit his own ball, but he didn't expect that he actually used himself as bait to pass the ball to his teammates?
The small forward after receiving Zhao Chaoyang's pass was as if a fixed-point battery had been filled, and he projected directly without saying a word, without any superfluous movements.
This pass and throw took less than two seconds in total.
Even Wang Qichao focused part of his attention on Zhao Chaoyang, ready to help defend at any time, but he didn't expect to neglect this one shot.
With a "whoosh", the ball easily hit the board and went into the basket.
Zhao Chaoyang gave his teammates a thumbs up, and then retreated to the half court to set up the defense.
"It seems that Zhao Chaoyang's offense in this section is not high!" Lin Qi guessed in his heart.
He has seen Zhao Chaoyang play, he knows very well the other party's extraordinary level, and even above Wang Qichao, just now except for himself, there is no one else to defend, it can be said that if he is determined to attack, it is very likely to make a beautiful breakthrough.
But he didn't!
was actually scored a goal by the player he was opposite just now, and Wang Qichao naturally had to return one.
When he received Lin Qi's pass, a false swing made room for himself to attack, and then a beautiful pull-up jump shot gave Qin Feng another two points.
4:2
The opponent still adheres to the concept of handing the ball to Zhao Chaoyang, and Zhao Chaoyang has indeed shown his excellent vision and has become a crucial trigger, always giving the ball to the right place and providing good conditions for his teammates' attacks.
In the first 5 minutes of the game, Qin Feng's five people all scored, which can be regarded as finding the feel of the game, and the starting five people in Wen Ling's third middle school have always been dominated by the points of small forwards and big forwards, and the opponent's center and Zhao Chaoyang, who is the biggest threat in the eyes of Ji Shuai, have not scored any points.
"Is it to save energy?" Lin Qi looked at the scoreboard on the sidelines.
Qin Feng and led by four points at 12:8, but Zhao Chaoyang never made a shot, and he didn't even try to break through, every time he received the ball, he was looking for a chance to give his teammates...
When Sun Hao scored two more points with a jumper, Qin Feng already led by 6 points at 14:8.
Lin Qi looked at Zhao Chaoyang carefully, he still looked like he couldn't wake up, his dribbling movements were a little lazy, and he didn't seem to be interested.
"Is it really to save physical strength or to look down on us?" Lin Qi decided to give it a try.
He took the initiative to step forward in front of Zhao Chaoyang, waiting for an opportunity to steal.
Zhao Chaoyang suddenly took a step back and reached outside the three-point line.
Lin Qi hurriedly stepped forward to defend, thinking, "It's finally time to attack!" ”
Seeing that Zhao Chaoyang had already set up a shooting posture and jumped, Lin Qi also jumped up hard to prepare for interference.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chaoyang didn't shoot, but used his jumping height to give the ball to the hands of Wen Ling's starting center.
Yu Liang, who was guarding the basket, reacted immediately, and the whole person was tightly attached to the opponent, preventing him from entering the restricted area under the basket...
In the face of Yu Liang's pressure, the other party was not to be outdone, using his physical advantage to keep advancing, trying to carve out a space.
However, Yu Liang is very familiar with the position under the basket, and under his blockade, he simply did not let the other party find a good opportunity.
In a hurry, the other party hurriedly chose to hook his hand, but was ruthlessly thrown out by Yu Liang.
"Rebound!"
Sun Hao stepped forward for the first time to grab this defensive rebound.
But at this time, Lin Qi was surprised to find that Zhao Chaoyang didn't know when, he had already bypassed him, standing where the ball fell, and after seeing the ball, he threw the ball directly from the bottom to the top of the basket...
I saw that the ball ran directly into the basket from the bottom edge of the rebound as if it had long legs...
14:10
The margin remained at four points.
"It's so fast" Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh secretly, he just focused his attention on the basket for a while, and he actually missed the defense.
When Lin Qi was still emotional, Zhao Chaoyang glared at his teammates unceremoniously, and then said a few words in the ear of the center, as if accusing him of being too reluctant to handle the ball just now!
The center forward didn't have any temper when Zhao Chaoyang said it, he just patted his chest, signaling that he wouldn't make this kind of mistake again...
The two returned to their respective positions together.
After Qin Feng served, after some circulation, the ball finally came to Wang Qichao's hands.
In a misplaced defense, Wang Qichao directly faced Zhao Chaoyang.
At this moment, even Lin Qi, who was temporarily watching, smelled a breath of slaughter.
Wang Qichao and Zhao Chaoyang, who are the parties involved, both feel threatened from each other.
This can be seen from the light in Zhao Chaoyang's eyes.
However, in the face of Zhao Chaoyang, Wang Qichao also rose with a strong fighting spirit!
He began to use his best change of direction to try to break through, but Zhao Chaoyang, who was also good at this, was obviously not so easy to be deceived.
The two were entangled near the free throw line for a long time, and in the end, in a breakthrough by Wang Qichao, Zhao Chaoyang was out of position and was scored by Wang Qichao.
Because of this goal, Zhao Chaoyang's whole person seemed to have changed as if he had changed his life, and in the face of Lin Qi's defense, he began to take the initiative to attack, and changed direction several times in a row, shook Lin Qichao, and faced Wang Qichao who came to make up for the defense.
This time, it was Zhao Chaoyang's turn to play.
In terms of height, Zhao Chaoyang is not as good as Wang Qichao, but for the flexibility of dribbling, Zhao Chaoyang is slightly better than Wang Qichao!
Wang Qichao's defense was defeated in front of Zhao Chaoyang after all, and Zhao Chaoyang returned a jump shot!
At this time, Lin Qi clearly saw Zhao Chaoyang, who had been sleepy-eyed, and actually smiled proudly after scoring the goal!
"Is this what chess is called a chess opponent?" Lin Qi looked at the two of them and thought.
At this moment, he felt that Zhao Chaoyang was quite interesting.
Next, Lin Qi scored a step-back jumper with the cooperation of his teammates.
…
In the first quarter of the game, between you and me, Qin Feng temporarily led by one point at 24:23.
During the break, Ji Shuai originally arranged for Lin Qi and other five main players to rest for a while, but Wang Qichao took the initiative to stand up and said to Ji Shuai, "Ji Shuai, let me continue to play"
Ji Shuai naturally understood that Wang Qichao had found an opponent, and after thinking about it, he agreed.
As a result, the second quarter of the game became a battle led by Wang Qichao to lead the second team.
Zhao Chaoyang had already rested off the field, but after Wang Qichao scored two goals in a row, the opponent's coach immediately put Zhao Chaoyang back on the field.
And the position he plays also happens to be a small forward!
This time, the confrontation between Zhao Chaoyang and Wang Qichao has also become the biggest highlight of the game.
The breakthrough ability of both can be said to be the best among their peers.
In terms of speed, Zhao Chaoyang is better, while Wang Qichao shows his unique charm in terms of physical talent.
In this section of the game, the two can be said to be evenly matched, and no one can overpower anyone.
And when the match came to the final round, there was an accident!
At this time, the score was 38:39, Qin Feng was one point behind, the ball was still in Wang Qichao's hands, and the time to organize the last attack was more than enough!
Wang Qichao held the ball, and he pressed the time on the outside line alone, and it was not until the time entered the countdown that he dribbled the ball and crushed the inside line like a tank.
After connecting two defenders, facing Zhao Chaoyang, who was going to make up for the defense, Wang Qichao tapped his right foot, and completed the change of direction again the moment he deceived the opponent, and then continued to rush to the basket.
Seeing that the basket was close in front of him, Wang Qichao did not hesitate to make a layup.
But at this moment, Zhao Chaoyang and their team's last line of defense, their center, jumped up in unison and blocked Wang Qichao's best layup route on the road.
However, this problem is not a big deal for Wang Qichao, Lin Qi knows very well that with Wang Qichao's ability, it is not a big problem to complete a hand-to-hand layup in the air.
In fact, it is true, Wang Qichao used this trick he is good at to put the ball on the basket.
Seeing that the ball was about to enter the frame, Lin Qi had to regretfully accept the reality, the ball finally deviated from the basket...
The time ran out, and after the second quarter of the game, Qin Feng was still one point behind the opponent.
At this time, Lin Qi found that when the other teammates returned to their seats, Wang Qichao was still half-kneeling on the ground alone.
"Something is wrong!" This was Lin Qi's most intuitive thought, and at the same time, he immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
And Ji Shuai walked up one step ahead of Lin Qi and others.
After a while, Lin Qi and Sun Hao all gathered around Wang Qichao.
"Captain, what's wrong with you?" Lin Qi squatted down and asked with concern.
At this time, Lin Qi found that Wang Qichao's lips were white, and beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead were constantly dripping on the floor.
"Could it be that you're hurt?"
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Qi sighed in his heart, and at the same time unexpectedly found that Ji Shuai was staring at Wang Qichao's waist with a worried face.
"The old wound has recurred?" After Ji Shuai took a deep breath, he looked at Wang Qichao and asked seriously.
Wang Qichao still knelt on the ground and did not speak.
And Ji Shuai's words made Lin Qi and Sun Hao show a surprised expression.
Wang Qichao was actually injured before?
