Chapter 120: Sharpening the knife on the battlefield
Cheng Fei's pass is a typical "NOLOOKPASS", when the people on the Yiling High School team thought he was going to pass the ball to Wang Zhiwen on the outside, Yang Cong flew up and caught the ball in the air and shot!
Although this shooting method is technical, the power and height of the pass are particularly testing. Wang Zhiwen, as the main point guard for a long time, theoretically organizes the whole team to attack, and his passing assists should be the most. But the Rangers recognized Cheng Fei's passing skills as the best.
Different people pass the ball, and people will feel differently. Some people can seize the opportunity and pass a very 'good' line, but the strength is not well mastered, in other words, the understanding of the receiver is not enough, so even if there is a good awareness, it is in vain. But Cheng Fei's passing always makes his teammates feel very comfortable, not much strength, not a lot of strength, and the angle and direction are all just right.
Yes, Yang Cong catches the ball in the air and shoots homeopathically, which is so easy and natural.
The basketball wiped the board into the net, and there was a burst of warm applause and cheers in the gymnasium, and Ge Liu opened 2:0.
"It's beautiful!" Yu Yang shouted.
"Coach Zhang, do you want to see how well Cheng Fei plays point guard?" Wang Baojiang asked.
"He has a natural sense of passing," Zhang Pingya nodded and said, "I only found out recently." He has a primitive set of tactical ideas in mind and a keen sense of opportunity that arises on the pitch. Putting him in the point guard position, one is that I want to see how he understands the point guard; The second is to give him an experience and exercise. ”
Wang Baojiang said: "However, I think Cheng Fei's most suitable position is still a quarterback. You may not know it, but his scoring ability is far more than what we've seen, it's just not as strong as an offensive one. ”
"So you have to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!" Zhang Pingya said with a smile, "The United States pays attention to magnifying advantages and avoiding disadvantages, maybe Cheng Fei's scoring ability is very strong, but since he doesn't have a strong desire in this regard, and is willing to read the game and assist his teammates to attack, then it is better to release his assist ability......"
Wang Baojiang thought to himself, Zhang Pingya, you completely denied your father's previous cultivation of Cheng Fei! Speaking of scoring, Cheng Fei didn't have much ***, but he didn't have the *** of defense before, but Director Zhang forced it.
Zhang Pingya looked at Cheng Fei on the court and said: "Our training of a player can be guided technically, but things at the 'spirit' level and consciousness level, such as his tendency to attack, defend or organize, are first of all his personal understanding of the game, followed by tactical arrangements.
"So, give them more opportunities to understand and learn on their own on the field," Zhang continued, "It's much more effective than we force it to indoctrination." We say that the game of basketball is mainly determined by three aspects, in order of important 'sex', that is, understanding, basic skills and tactical response. ”
"Teachable! Learn! Wang Baojiang said again and again, "It's really unheard of!" ”
"Where!" Zhang Pingya said with a smile, "I've only eaten foreign rice for a few years, and my father is scornful of me!" ”
Wang Baojiang looked at Cheng Fei on the field, and suddenly thought of something. With Cheng Fei's height of 1.78 meters, he will be at most 1.8 meters in the future, and if he really wants to enter the professional basketball world, he can only act as a point guard. Does Zhang Pingya have the heart to cultivate him? In any case, letting Cheng Fei play more point guards is beneficial to his increased sense of organization.
Over there, although Yiling High School was not to be outdone, the quarterback Liu Rui forcibly broke through Zhang Yulai and attacked the basket inside, but it was not converted into a score. The rebound was grabbed by Deng Liang.
The Yiling High School varsity team immediately returned to defense, and their defensive awareness was very good, and they would not be too impulsive to grab the ball in the front court. And the few strong teams that Cheng Fei encounters now basically have good defensive awareness. This is also the difference between a strong team and a weak team.
Wang Zhiwen and Cheng Fei are also very different.
As soon as Wang Zhiwen got the ball, he rushed wildly and directly pulled up the fast-break formation. Cheng Fei, on the other hand, dribbled unhurriedly, giving the opponent enough time to set up the formation, and he seemed to be thinking about something while dribbling.
Just after halftime, Tang Chi, who was in the opposite position, stepped forward, holding Cheng Fei's waist with one hand, and was ready to break the ball at any time with the other.
Cheng Fei showed good basic skills in ball control at this time. He leaned over and slapped the basketball with his right hand very close to the ground, dribbling quickly and with great stability. Just as Tang Chi turned to the side and wanted to cut off the basketball in his hand, Cheng Fei's right hand suddenly pulled back, and the basketball jumped diagonally very obediently!
Then, the moment Tang Chi lost his center of gravity, Cheng Fei's right hand pushed forward again, and the whole person stepped over Tang Chi's side very easily, and his eyes suddenly opened up!
Yang Cong ran back, shook off the opponent's big front Huang Xiao, and first made a shooting feint. Huang Xiao relied on his height and physical strength, so he didn't eat Yang Cong's set. Yang Cong took advantage of the momentum, and the person rushed forward two steps, and wanted to jump and shoot again. But Huang Xiao still followed closely!
Yang Cong immediately lost his best position, so he had to turn around and pass the ball to Wang Zhiwen, who ran back.
Wang Zhiwen faced Chen Zhuo, who was nearly half a head taller, and fearlessly changed hands to dribble, and then showed that lightning-fast shot. The basketball entered the net and once again set off a round of applause! The students in the sixth class of the second year of high school were especially vigorous.
The 4:0 advantage did not last long, and was soon broken by Chen Zhuo and Liu Rui's blocking.
Liu Rui held the ball, and with Chen Zhuo's cooperation as a wall, he scored with a long shot, chasing the score to 2:4.
Cheng Fei soon discovered that the Yiling High School team was a relatively balanced team, which happened to be the opposite of the 13th Middle School team. Their athletic ability is not 'outstanding', but everyone has good strength, and they seem to be old fritters who have been 'mixed' on the basketball court for several years, know how to cooperate, and know how to block and dismantle. This also means that the opponent is by no means a fish belly.
If they are given empty spots, then these experienced guys will take advantage of their chances to score.
Therefore, the first point of the game is not to give them any chance to score easily. Although the way of tight 'pressing' and fast attack can cause a lot of pressure on the opponent, once there is a breakthrough and leakage, it will bring direct loss of points. It's worth the cost. Therefore, Cheng Fei insisted on positional warfare.
Despite this, Cheng Fei found that he still underestimated the team in front of him.
Cheng Fei crossed the half court with the ball and 'handed over' the ball to Zhang Yulai. Zhang Yulai lacked dribbling breakthrough and singles ability, and passed directly to Yang Cong. Yang Cong seemed to have lost the momentum of the breakthrough that had been fierce before, and tried to attack, and passed it to Wang Zhiwen after it was unsuccessful.
Wang Zhiwen seems to be quite confident in the face of Chen Zhuo. He used a quick change of hands again, and bypassed Chen Zhuo with one step, and his body drilled over quite flexibly. But before I could run two steps, I suddenly screamed "ah", and the basketball actually fell!
"Thug!" Wang Zhiwen immediately turned to the referee and shouted loudly.
Liu Rui quickly grabbed the basketball and rushed forward with the ball. Although his speed is relatively fast, he is still not as fast as Yang Cong, Cheng Fei and others. Liu Rui stepped into the front court in two steps, and as soon as he touched Cheng Fei's defense, he immediately gave up the intention of fast attack, stabilized his body, and quietly waited for his teammates to settle down.
It's really an old fritter. Cheng Fei thought to himself. They seemed very calm and in no hurry to score.
On Wang Zhiwen's side, the referee ignored it at all. If he doesn't see a foul, he won't blow it. If you want to blame, you can only blame the other party's small actions for being too hidden. These guys are really not fuel-efficient lamps. Even veterans like Wang Zhiwen have fallen in love with their ways.
When Chen Zhuo was in place, Liu Rui passed the ball. At this time, a situation was formed in which Chen Zhuo beat Wang Zhiwen on his back.
Although Wang Zhiwen's defensive ability is good, this is already a position where the opponent can score directly, and at most he can only interfere. Chen Zhuo is very cunning, he doesn't dribble once, and his eyes glance at his teammates who are pulling around from time to time, so that Wang Zhiwen has no chance to break the ball, and others are not easy to come over to help defend.
Two seconds later, Chen Zhuo suddenly turned around and rose from the ground!
Wang Zhiwen was too short, so he could only watch Chen Zhuo score two points very steadily!
"No," Wang Baojiang shook his head, "Wang Zhiwen is completely unsuitable for playing small forward, and there are huge flaws in defense, so it's hard for the other party to seize this point to play." Now I can only hope that Yang Cong can play the attack. ”
"Prepare to replace," Zhang Pingya said, "let Liu Junfeng replace Wang Zhiwen." ”
Substitutions so quickly! Wang Baojiang muttered in his heart. Do you think such an important game is child's play? Obviously, the strength of the Yiling High School team is not bad, and it is not so easy to win, so Zhang Pingya doesn't care about it at all. Hopefully he doesn't 'get it wrong', it's not his University of Houston team, it's an amateur team made up of regular high school students!
Next, Yang Cong's attack on the inside caused Chen Zhuo's foul. So Liu Junfeng replaced Wang Zhiwen.
Since the formation of the Rangers, this is probably the first time that Wang Zhiwen has rested in the first quarter, and he looked very depressed, sitting on the bench with his head down, wiping his sweat, and not saying a word. Zhang Pingya didn't mean to 'communicate' with him, his eyes were just staring at Liu Junfeng, who had just played.
Cheng Fei's dribbling was beyond everyone's imagination, and Tang Chi, who was in the opposite position, couldn't stop it at all, but Cheng Fei took advantage of his height and big steps to break through frequently. As a result, the Yiling school team had to change the method of marking people, and Liu Rui also had to follow up to assist in defense. There was an immediate 'hole' in their defence.
Cheng Fei would not let go of this opportunity, Yang Cong quickly made a wall, allowing Cheng Fei to pass over directly. And the changes in the Yiling school team were also very fast, Huang Xiao strode forward and blocked Cheng Fei's breakthrough route again. At this moment, Cheng Fei suddenly became short, and the basketball bounced out of Huang Xiao's crotch!
An orange-red 'colored' figure flashed, and Liu Junfeng came in directly from the outside, took over the basketball and took off!
The center Yin Zuobin did not hesitate, jumped into the air, raised his hands, and stopped this thin boy who didn't know the height of the sky!
Although Liu Junfeng does not have the ability to dunk and change hands in the air, his assist awareness can also rank in the top three among the Rangers. He tightened his abdomen and waist in the air, collected the ball into his hands, and the basketball went around Yin Zuobin's waist!
I saw Deng Liang slap the basketball, a backhand layup, and hit!
"Good shot!" The venue is lively again, and this time the smooth coordination is really pleasing to the eye. This is the real basketball game, individual skills, team cooperation is all there, the key is that the play is very civilized, even if it is a foul, it is a very skillful 'sex' small action. Both sides are such teams, you come and go, and the audience is addicted!
However, as the game progressed, the Rangers gradually fell into disadvantage.
***************
The Rangers are getting weaker in this kind of game, which is indeed unexpected by many. With their super offensive ability, they have overcome obstacles all the way, which can be described as unstoppable, whether it is the hooligan style of Gezhouba Vocational High School, or the aggressive 'forced' Yichang City No. 13 Middle School, in the face of such a strong team, they can give what they want.
What I didn't expect was that the game between the two sides started so smoothly, and soon after the start of the second quarter, it fell into a strange rhythm. Yang Cong's singles were able to score 8 points in the first quarter, but at the beginning of the second quarter, Liu Junfeng made a series of mistakes, and Liu Junfeng became the king of mistakes, frequently being stolen by the opponent, and his shooting was not targeted.
Cheng Fei passed a lot of good balls, although they were still amazing, but in the end they failed to convert into points.
Similarly, the Yiling High School varsity team was not able to continue the smooth offense in the first quarter. They weren't on the Rangers' tight defensive side, and their shooting percentage wasn't high. But Cheng Fei found a situation, that is, the other party was still slowly improving the score, while the rangers were holding back.
Halfway through the second quarter, the Rangers, who had always had the lead, gradually fell behind. The strange thing is that the other party did not play a small high 'tide', and this backwardness is gradually widening the distance. When Cheng Fei looked back and saw 24:32 on the scoreboard, he couldn't help but be surprised.
The half-court offense, led by Cheng Fei, came to a standstill. It's like an old machine, and it's very hard to run.
Wang Baojiang saw that the score was 8 points behind, and he was a little anxious. He didn't want to lose this game, and then he would completely lose the qualification. He turned around, wanted to ask Zhang Pingya's opinion, called a timeout, and then put the normally configured players on it. But looking back, Wang Baojiang found that Zhang Pingya sat next to Wang Zhiwen with the board (possibly a tactical board).
"Look," Zhang Pingya put the tactical board on his knee, "have you ever seen this thing?" ”
Wang Zhiwen's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head. Apparently he recognized the tactical board and showed great interest.
"Teacher Wang," Zhang Pingya said to Wang Baojiang, "please call a pause." ”
"Good!" Wang Baojiang immediately informed the referee. Soon, the whistle blew and the Rangers came off the field sweating profusely. Although they were 8 points behind, their expressions were not too frustrated, but they were a little 'confused' and 'confused'. Especially Cheng Fei, he felt that the positional battle was not down, and there were passing opportunities, but the offense just couldn't fight.
"Come!" Zhang Pingya beckoned kindly, and asked the rangers to surround him.
"Isn't this a tactical board?" Yang Cong saw the thing in Zhang Pingya's hand and couldn't help but say.
Zhang Pingya smiled: "That's right, it's a simple and easy-to-use tactical board." You see, there are five pieces on it, each with a marking, generally speaking, 1 for point guard, 2 for point guard, 3 for small forward, 4 for big forward, 5 for center, but it can also be completely 'mixed' sorting, which is a kind of identification of you on the court. I'm going to move these pieces now, you see—"
He slid pieces 2, 3, 4, and 5 to either side of the half-court line to form a rectangle, while the number 1 piece was placed in the middle of the top arc. The formation looks very simple and there is nothing subtle about it.
Wang Baojiang's heart beat a small drum: Could it be that Zhang Pingya is going to start talking about tactics? Oh my God, the pause time is so short, usually so much time is not about tactics, why is it talking about it at this time, how can this group of children who have never been exposed to tactics be able to digest it? Isn't that a joke!
Zhang Pingya's fingers moved quickly, and the right hand holding the pen also drew on the tactical board. No. 1 sinks to the bottom, No. 4 goes out of the arc, No. 2 and No. 3 are pulled to the sides of the sidelines, and No. 5 moves slightly inward.
Zhang Pingya paused and glanced around the rangers. Almost all of the children were at a loss, they had a look of hunger in their eyes, they knew that this was some kind of basketball tactic, like playing chess, but they almost didn't know what was going on. Only Cheng Fei, with deep eyes, couldn't see what he was thinking.
Zhang Pingya smiled slightly, moved No. 2 inward, No. 1 withdrew to the sideline, No. 4 sank to the bottom, and No. 5 pulled to a high position. He keeps drawing simple straight lines, connecting the pieces, and at the same time constantly erasing them.
Wang Zhiwen bit his lower lip tightly, and the rangers were silent.
"What I just demonstrated is the most basic half-time tactic. You know, every straight line is a scoring opportunity. A tactic is not to run them all, but to seize any of these opportunities and score decisively! Zhang Pingya glanced at them, and his gaze finally fell on Cheng Fei's face.
Cheng Fei stared at the tactical board, then raised his head and gradually 'revealed' a smile.
It was an empowering, heartfelt smile.
It was as if he had come from a dark world, and his eyes suddenly opened up!
Do you understand! Wang Baojiang was speechless when he saw Cheng Fei's expression. Although this is a basic tactic, Zhang Pingya did not explain anything, and only moved a few chess pieces quickly, how could an amateur player understand it in such a short time!
"Toot-" The referee blew the whistle and signaled the player to continue playing.
Zhang Pingya stood up and said: "You try to run a complete strategy on the field, it doesn't matter if you can score a goal or not, the key is to understand what I just demonstrated." As he spoke, he smiled at Cheng Fei, "Cheng Fei, you are No. 1!" ”
