Chapter 6: Try it with the ball
When the five starters of Huaqing High School came on the field, what they saw were five hideous beasts with teeth and red eyes, the kind of determination and murderous aura that seemed to bite you hard if they fell, they were frightened and chilled.
Zhou Zhixin's eyelids jumped, and he sneered and said to the others: "Pretend to be a ghost!" ”
Xue Xinkai swallowed his saliva, and also raised his head and shouted: "That's it, destroy them!" ”
Position, serve, Huaqing High School prudently arranged three people in the backcourt, seeing that Zhang Yang was about to step forward again, Zhou Zhixin smiled coldly, passed the ball to Huang Yue next to him, and greeted Zhang Yang empty-handed: "I said that I would abuse you like a dog!" ”
Zhang Yang smiled brightly.
"What about you...... Try it. ”
As soon as the half passed, the remaining four players of Ludao No. 1 High School all pasted one-on-one, and yes, Wang Shoushan once again used the tight defense.
Huang Yue tried to break through twice, but he was tightly stuck, and on the entire court, only Zhang Yang fell loosely in front of Zhou Zhixin's two steps, without the slightest intention of pressing, Huang Yue naturally guided the ball to Zhou Zhixin near the top of the circle.
Zhang Yang took a step forward on his knees, not being confused by Zhou Zhixin's feints after receiving the ball, he stared at Zhou Zhixin's eyes tightly, an irrepressible excitement rose in his eyes, and a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly provoked, as if he kept saying: "Come on!" Abuse me! ”
Zhou Zhixin raised his eyebrows heavily, looking at his provocative expression, a thick disdain rose again in his heart: "You want to steal me just by speed? Teach you today that rhythm is more important than speed. ”
If Zhang Yang knew that Zhou Zhixin, who was at this moment, wanted to talk about rhythm with Iverson, a generation of outstanding masters, I don't know if he would laugh directly on the court until he cramped......
"Come on, Captain Zhou!"
"Torture him to death!"
"Teach this stupid fork a good lesson!"
“……”
The sky above the stadium once again resounded like a tsunami, and everyone was looking forward to their hero, with the cleanest and most thorough pass, to humiliate this clown who suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
Zhou Zhixin got off the ball heavily, three beautiful flower arrangements in a row, the third time, the ball bounced up from the crotch and fell into the palm of his left hand, he suddenly slowed down, shook his left shoulder, and made an intention to break through to the left, seeing Zhang Yang tilt the center of gravity to the right, his dotted left foot suddenly exerted force, lowered the center of gravity, and the basketball in his left hand was almost parallel to the ground and wiped it, and quickly turned to the right!
Zhou Zhixin could almost foresee the picture of Zhang Yang being shaken to the right, and he easily broke through to his left side, and then scored at will, and the cheers on the court would also be completely boiling at that moment!
It's a pity that he didn't see the eyes like morning stars on Zhang Yang's face, and the smug smile that suddenly bloomed on his lips!
At the moment when the basketball bounced lightly in front of Zhang Yang's left foot, Zhang Yang, who was not shaken off his center of gravity at all, suddenly stretched out his left hand and stabbed it in front of the basketball that was on an upward trajectory!
The moment Zhou Zhixin's face changed drastically, Zhang Yang was already like a bolt of lightning, passing by his side and chasing towards the basketball that rolled to the middle line!
"Don't think!" Zhou Zhixin, who had a hideous face, also suddenly pulled up his steps, in a vain attempt to catch up with Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang picked up the basketball like a lightning bolt, and even when he reached the three-point line, he still had time to sneer and glance back at Zhou Zhixin who was chasing behind him.
Just when everyone thought that this was another light layup, Zhang Yang, who stepped into the restricted area with his right foot, suddenly jumped high like a cannonball, like Hercules falling from the sky, suddenly picked up his right arm and smashed the ball into the basket!
Bang!
The hoop trembles and buzzes!
Publicity and heavy landing!
……
The whole stadium was silent!
Zhou Zhixin stopped at the free throw line without shame, and his face turned red at this moment!
Looking at this hell-quiet gymnasium, Zhang Yang raised his left hand to his ear and made Iverson's classic "listening" action to the audience!
Call, grandchildren!
Sure enough, under the humiliation of Zhang Yang's ** nakedness, the arena suddenly erupted in boos and curses that were ten times more violent than the cheers just now!
Zhang Yang smiled with satisfaction, put down his hand, and slowly walked in front of Zhou Zhixin, who was glaring at him fiercely.
"I can't control the others, but from now on, you can try the ball."
……
"From now on, you take the ball and try it......"
Zhou Zhixin has been playing basketball since he was a child, and no one of his age has dared to speak like this in front of him.
In the finals that represent China's top high school level, he is forbidden to take the ball as a point guard, for the absolute main force of the team, the rhythm controller on the court, is there a greater contempt and humiliation than this!
Looking at Zhang Yang, who walked away lightly after speaking, Zhou Zhixin's face turned blue and red!
Zhang Yang didn't care what Zhou Zhixin behind him thought, some people would never know how much they had done if they were not retaliated with a tooth for a tooth.
What's more, this is just the beginning.
……
Huaqing High School serves.
Looking at Zhang Yang who was standing in the half-court position, Xue Xinkai, who served from the bottom line, almost subconsciously passed the ball to Huang Yue who was standing on the other side. Zhou Zhixin, who was closest to him, seemed to have been suddenly insulted, and his face turned red again, and he was about to ask for the ball at Huang Yue, but he finally took a deep breath and endured it!
Huang Yue hesitated for a second, seeing that he had already started to run forward empty-handed, and then he carried the ball forward.
The five substitutes of Ludao No. 1 Middle School, who are full of physical strength, are red-eyed and actively mark the defense, and although the players of Huaqing High School try their best to run away, the ball is transmitted twice, and there is still no good chance.
At this moment, Zhou Zhixin, who fell at the free throw line, suddenly started, and with the help of Li Yuan's blocking, he suddenly threw off Zhang Yang and ran to the three-point line in the bottom corner, and the basketball flew into his hands almost at the same time!
"Cut me off? Good luck! The moment this thought flashed through his mind, he turned around, jumped up, and struck as he had done in a thousand training sessions.
Nice empty-handed getaway!
Standard catch-and-shoot jumper!
Then, he saw a huge shadow pressing down on him......
Bang!
The ball is fanned out of bounds!
……
A frontal hat that is enough to make the shooter feel inferior to death!
The audience was in an uproar!
Zhang Yang smiled and glanced at Zhou Zhixin, who was full of iron, didn't say anything, turned around and high-fived his teammates!
The piercing cheers made Zhou Zhixin clench his fists. He turned his face and stared angrily at Li Yuan, who had just blocked him for him!
Li Yuan finally realized what Liu Weixing felt just now, he shrugged innocently, speechless.
……
With 7 seconds left, Huaqing High School gave the ball to the inside line, Li Yuanqiang hit one, and the ball jumped high on the basket twice, and it was lucky to fall into the net, which boosted their morale somewhat.
52 to 69.
Baseline serve.
Watching Zhang Yang slowly dribble the ball through the half, everyone was shocked to realize that one and a half minutes had passed in the fourth quarter, and this was the first head-on battle of Ludao No. 1 Middle School!
Zhou Zhixin was finally not carried away by the anger, and stepped forward to oppress Zhang Yang, but it did not mean that he would easily let Zhang Yang go. He fell outside the three-point line, cheered up the spirit of 12 points, and vowed to show off a little color!
The eyes of the audience fell on these two people.
Zhang Yang looked at Zhou Zhixin, who was like a great enemy, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The left hand with the ball stretched violently, shook the shoulder but quickly fell to the right, in the moment when Zhou Zhixin just reacted, he returned the ball that had just bounced on the right side through the crotch to the left side, paused slightly, and waited for Zhou Zhixin's footsteps to adjust, when the center of gravity was moved back to the right side again, the rhythm suddenly accelerated, and the intention to break through to the left was suddenly pulled back with the left hand, and the basketball was close to the ground across the distance between the two positions, and handed it to the right hand.
And Zhou Zhixin, like a fool, blocked the other side!
Zhang Yang stepped into the penalty area, threw a throw in front of Li Yuan, who was urgently supplemented, and the basketball went into the net!
is so neat and gorgeous, the audience can't stop ringing a cheer that is unusually disobedient in hindsight!
Cross stepping, Iverson's most commonly used move, in all his passing highlights, the probability of this move appearing is definitely more than 50%, even Jordan was planted on this move back then, used to deal with Zhou Zhixin, it is really overkill!
And what made Zhou Zhixin even more humiliating was that this move was almost exactly the same as what he had just tried to publicize, but the result was completely different.
Listening to those sudden outbursts of applause, he felt like he had been slapped in the face!
Zhang Yang retreated from Zhou Zhixin's side, looked at his ugly face, and returned a word to Xu Jiajie for him.
"Really, you almost stopped me."
――Xu Jiajie clenched his fists tightly and was dripping with joy!
……
The game continues.
Zhou Zhixin, who has been humiliated to the point of madness, did not give up asking for the ball twice in a row in the next offense, for him who has been playing basketball since he was a child and is now sitting firmly at the core of the team, it is impossible for him to give up dribbling the ball because he was broken once or twice, he has his own pride and self-confidence.
It's a pity that he held the ball twice, once he was thrown out of bounds by Zhang Yang, and the other time he was stealed by Zhang Yang, and the audience and players, even if they didn't want to believe it, finally understood the fact that Zhang Yang expressed with his actions: You are not qualified to dribble in front of me!
It's an exaggeration, but it's actually quite normal. Iverson is a three-time NBA steal champion against one of the best basketball players on the planet. His only flaws in defense are his slight lack of height and thin body. It's a pity that none of these Zhou Zhixin have.
Whether it is consciousness, judgment, reaction speed, or ball sense, the publicity at this moment is to crush him in all directions!
Finally, when he twisted his face and yelled angrily for the ball for the third time, Yu Zhengsheng's voice sounded on the sidelines: "Don't give him the ball!" Hit the inside line! Zhixin, you pull aside! ”
Zhou Zhixin's face suddenly turned pale, and the coach's roar that resounded through half the court was undoubtedly the most embarrassing blow to him in front of everyone!
At this moment, it seemed that the eyes of the audience were focused on him, and every gaze was like a needle, deeply stabbing him with pride, and he was embarrassed to go into the ground, which was better than being watched by people in such a humiliating way.
Zhang Yang even took this opportunity to make up for it, he suddenly waved at his own bench area, and then "secretly" pointed at Zhou Zhixin: "Yiqing, look, where is the real defender!" ”
"Haha, what a great defender!"
"Tsk, it turns out that real defenders don't have to touch the ball......"
"Zhang Yang, be careful that he tortures you to death!"
Su Yiqing covered her mouth, and the bench area suddenly burst into laughter, especially the five starters, and let out a fierce breath!
Swish! Zhou Zhixin seemed to have blood all over his body, and his face was flushed!
His two eyes that were almost on fire stared at Zhang Yang: "It's okay, all the good balls are for you, we just need to win." When we win the championship, you can see who will be the MVP! ”
Zhang Yang lightly met his grim eyes: "Then you can take a good look, how did I win the championship back!" ”
The ball passed into the inside, Xue Xinkai ate under the basket, missed the shot but got a foul, and hit both free throws.
56-71 with 7 minutes and 47 seconds left.
