"Wow-" the audience exclaimed in unison.

Cui Jun's step-back jumper was blocked by Cheng Fei! This time the cap was very clean, and Cheng Fei grasped Cui Jun's angle and timing to a very 'fine' degree, which is really breathtaking. Not only did the faces of the players of Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School and Coach Gu change, but even the leaders on the rostrum were stunned. They are all insiders who are familiar with basketball, and it can be seen that the defensive level of No. 12 of Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School just now is quite high, and it is unbelievable that he is a novice who has only been playing for one year!

Anyone who understands basketball knows that defense is more difficult to practice than offense, which is not only a matter of technical details and experience, but more importantly, no student does not spend a lot of time practicing shooting, layups and various scoring methods when they are new to basketball, but is obsessed with boring defense. Not only novices, but also the vast majority of players who have been playing for a long time, even professional players, do not like to hone their defensive skills. It's like football, most people like to 'shoot' the 'goal' and few people like to keep the 'goal'.

Cheng Fei actually let Cui Jun eat "hot pot" twice in less than five minutes, and his defensive ability cannot but be impressive.

Cui Jun was shocked, although he grabbed the basketball again and shot while Cheng Fei's center of gravity was unstable, the ball obviously lost its crosshairs and bounced out of the basket!

In a sigh, Deng Liang actually grabbed the rebound in front of Zhang Liang. Deng Liang's rebounding ability is really powerful, and he also has a lot of experience in the long-term competition with tall centers. This defensive rebound protection made Xiangfan's offense fail in the fourth middle school. Cui Jun's indifferent face was obviously a little irritable.

"Good! Good! Good! Zhang Pingya said three good things in a row, "Cheng Fei's defense is in place this time, and he completely curbs Cui Jun!" ”

"It's thanks to your father!" Wang Baojiang said with emotion, "I think that at the beginning, Director Zhang has been 'forcing' this group of children to practice defense, especially the requirements for Cheng Fei, which are very harsh. Several of our teachers couldn't stand it anymore at that time, and they gave advice to Director Zhang many times. I have a deep impression of one time, Director Zhang insisted that Cheng Fei defend the ace Xu Jian of the sixth middle school, Cheng Fei couldn't prevent it at first, but at the end of the game, Xu Jian was broken by Cheng Fei in the most critical breakthrough. ”

Zhang Pingya said thoughtfully: "When my father mentioned Cheng Fei to me, he paid more attention to his talent in attack and rarely mentioned defense. Now that I think about it, it is probably that he is deliberately making up for Cheng Fei's shortcomings, so that he can be both offensive and defensive, and become a truly dominant player. ”

"If it weren't for Director Zhang's training, how could there be Cheng Fei who could defend Cui Jun today!" Wang Baojiang sighed.

Zhang Pingya fell into deep thought. He has always opposed his father's deadly defensive style of play, and sometimes the two of them finally meet, but they quarrel at the dinner table because of different understandings of basketball. He felt that his father's basketball philosophy was too rigid and rigid, and he 'forced' the players to death.

Today, Cheng Fei's actions to defend Cui Jun reminded him of the figure when his father taught him to play when he was a child......

"Pay attention to the position of your feet, where to put them?" The young Zhang Shengli kicked Zhang Pingya's 'leg' in the stomach fiercely.

A sharp pain hit, Zhang Pingya endured it and didn't cry, but tears rolled in his eyes. He knew that he couldn't cry, and if he did, his father would hit him harder. My father used to say that shedding tears was a sign of cowardice and the most shameful act.

In the midst of the beating and scolding, Zhang Pingya had a deep fear of the court in the courtyard at the entrance of his home. There is a record of a childhood that was not happy and unbearable. He also hated basketball because of this. As he grew older, Zhang Pingya went to junior high school, and because of his good basketball skills, he was elected as the captain of the team, and then slowly started playing again.

All this was also hidden from his father, because he was afraid of being scolded more.

After graduating from college, Zhang Pingya was successfully admitted to a university in the United States, where he continued his basketball dream. Without his father's "whip", he finally felt the joy that basketball brought him, and because of his outstanding understanding and hard work, although he did not become a professional player, he also became an assistant coach at the University of Houston and realized his long-held dream.

It was only then that Zhang Shengli knew that his son was the same as him and loved basketball.

Time passed, and my father was already old, but his temper was still hot, until he collapsed on the sick bed......

When Zhang Pingya came to his senses, the game in the third quarter was almost over.

Choi Jun's performance is obviously abnormal, even if he passes, he does it under duress, which is diametrically opposed to his usual style. Not only did he miss many shots on the outside, but he also broke into *** and was also interfered by Deng Liang and others; Although Cheng Fei's performance was not satisfactory, he was blocked by the collective of Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School and did not have many opportunities to shoot, but with a few decisive mid-range shots, he still maintained the difference at 11 points.

The third quarter ended at 66:55.

When the Rangers' starting five tigers came down, they were greeted with warm applause from the audience. Cheng Fei and the others finally enjoyed the treatment they deserved. This is a kind of respect and encouragement for the Rangers, and it is really not easy to fight like this with Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School, as an unknown team. The fiasco of Yichang No. 1 Middle School was still yesterday.

Wang Baojiang stepped forward and personally handed Cheng Fei water and a 'wool' towel. The big boy was exhausted, and sat on the bench as soon as he ***, his 'chest' rising and falling slightly, and beads of sweat sliding down his face like rain. Fighting Cui Jun at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is definitely not as simple as thinking about it, just to maintain the score difference, Cheng Fei almost tried his best.

Zhang Pingya looked at Cheng Fei and thought: Is this his limit?

Although the difference with Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School was "only" 11 points, the rangers were not happy. On the one hand, this is the critical moment of the game, and once you lose, you have to roll up and go home; On the other hand, even if the score difference can be maintained, it is very reluctant, and people other than Cheng Fei can't play at all, Cheng Fei has a heavy task and has a lot of physical exertion. Although Cui Jun is not in the state, it is only temporary, and the scene is still dominated by Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School. If you continue to play like this, it would be good if the gap of 11 points could be kept, but how easy is it to catch up?

"Coach Zhang, how to arrange the last session?" Wang Baojiang asked.

Zhang Pingya pondered for a moment and said: "I don't think any tactics are needed, and in the current situation, the tactics we designed before can't work at all." How did you play before, how you played in the fourth quarter, I only have one request, that is, let Cheng Fei decide how to attack. ”

Cheng Fei raised his head and looked at him tiredly.

"You have to 'survive' the last 10 minutes," Zhang Pingya said, "and if you have a chance to score, don't let it go, don't hesitate in the slightest." You know, you're the team's best scorer, and if you can't, don't count on your teammates; But if you see that your teammate has a better chance, you can decide to 'hand' it over to him. Remember, we can't afford to make any more mistakes, every attack can make the difference between victory and defeat! ”

A voice suddenly came from behind them: "Don't care too much about winning or losing, the only thing to focus on should be the basketball itself." ”

Everyone turned around and saw a strange middle-aged man squeezing into the crowd at some point, he was very tall, looking at the rangers with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Cheng Fei. "Let me introduce myself, I am the head of the sports department of Wuhan University of Automotive Technology, and my surname is Chen ......"

"Director Chen!" Wang Baojiang hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with him, and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you sitting on the rostrum?" ”

"Haha! Oh, yes! Director Chen smiled, "I think it's better to look good on your side, so I came over." ”

"Luckily!" Zhang Pingya smiled slightly and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Director Chen restrained his smile and said: "Actually, playing basketball is very simple, ball control, breakthrough, shooting, defense, these skills can be mastered after learning, and they vary according to their talents. But when a 40-minute game, the coach's tactics, the rotation of the main players and the bench, when these factors are added, basketball is no longer so pure. ”

"Director Chen has something to say." Wang Baojiang didn't understand it.

"Cui Jun of Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School is a good seedling, and we really want to recruit him into the school to strengthen the position of small forward, so I have been paying attention to him," Director Chen continued, "But the appearance of Liu Ke has made their Coach Gu lose sight of one or the other. I have long seen that there are some contradictions within Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School. Some veteran players are dissatisfied with the coach's arrangement, and they are not very willing to cooperate with Liu Ke, and Cui Jun also has a lot of ideas in his heart. ”

'I've noticed that two good players haven't played together. Zhang Pingya nodded and said.

"To be honest, I've never heard of Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School before, and today you have shown me what a super dark horse is," Director Chen said with a smile, and his face immediately sank again, "The reason why Cui Jun is in a state of mind is that Liu Ke stole the limelight, was a little lonely and dissatisfied, and then hoped to lead Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School to save the situation as a savior, and he did it for a while, but he was counterattacked by you." The psychological gap is huge. ”

"Director Chen, what's the gap? They are still 11 points ahead! Wang Baojiang asked.

"If you think about it, Choi Jun finally got on the court, and naturally hoped to see immediate results, prove his strength to the audience and the team, and prove that his position is unshakable. However, you 'fish belly' are too tenacious, not only to curb his offense, but also to launch frequent counterattacks, which has caused him a complex mentality, anxiety, irritability, disappointment, and gradually abnormal performance......" Director Chen said the truth, it seems that he is not only an expert in basketball, but also has in-depth insights into the psychology of players. Even Zhang Pingya nodded frequently.

"The greater the power of a person, the greater the responsibility. It's the same with basketball, when a player has superhuman strength, he has to carry the fate of the whole team, and at the same time, he will face a lot of tribulations, and the saddest hurdle is mentality. Director Chen continued, "I must admit that Cui Jun disappointed me very much, and in the face of the test, he was mentally unbalanced and made the wrong choice. Why? Because he is too concerned about his own position, too much about the outcome of victory. How did you get your personal status and your team's victory? It's a point by point, it's a ball by ball, and paying attention to the basketball itself is always more important than anything else. No distractions in the heart is the only way to succeed! ”

The loud words were heard by everyone. Director Chen looked at Cheng Fei with a smile and said, "Young man, I'm very optimistic about you. Because you have a really pure heart, your eyes are clear, and I only saw basketball in it. Today next year, I hope to see you like this......"

Before Cheng Fei could answer, the whistle blew, and the fourth quarter of the game was about to start.

Zhang Pingya hurriedly said: "Yang Cong replaces Liu Junfeng, Zhang Yulai replaces Li Lin......"

Eight brothers from the 204 dormitory of Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School formed a circle with eight hands together.

"It's not easy for us to get to where we are today," Cheng Fei said, "and it's already the third round of the national league." Remember when we were on the pitch at the school gate? Everyone happily practiced three-step layups, practiced shooting, and played half-court ...... Looking back, we have come a long way, all the way to the national league, step by step to achieve our dream. Today's battle is our biggest test, do you remember what Old Man Zhang said? The stadium is a battlefield, a contest of blood and fire, only the brave are fearless, and they can have the last laugh! ”

"Fight!" Deng Liang gritted his teeth and roared.

"Come on, Ge Liu! Ge Liu will win! Wang Zhiwen shouted loudly.

"Come on, Ge Liu! Ge Liu will win! The eight brothers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the venue!

"Come on, Ge Liu! Come on, Ge Liu! The audience was greeted with a tsunami of cheers! In the warm applause, Cheng Fei led Wang Zhiwen, Yang Cong, Zhang Yulai and Deng Liang to the court, and their orange and red 'color' jerseys were particularly bright. The audience has fallen in love with this team that perseveres and dares to fight with the king, and for a while, the cheers are endless!

"He's going to play......" Cheng Fei looked at the rest area of Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School and said.

Liu Ke moved his muscles and bones, and Cui Jun sat on the bench with a gloomy look.

*****************

The last ten minutes, the fateful ten minutes, began the countdown.

Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School launched the attack first, and their strategy was very simple, directly 'handing' the ball to Liu Ke in the middle circle. Liu Ke, who was full of physical strength, dribbled the ball and jumped on his feet by the way, as if he had nowhere to vent his 'essence' strength. His physical strength was far superior to Cheng Fei's, not to mention resting for a long time.

Cheng Fei stood outside the three-point line, leaned down, and pulled his 'pants' and 'legs'.

Liu Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and when the basketball was changed to his left hand, his body suddenly started, and he swept past Cheng Fei in one big stride! But Cheng Fei's footsteps were also very fast, and when he took two steps in a row, when he was still half a position away from Liu Ke, Liu Ke jumped up and shot!

This shot was indeed too sudden, Cheng Fei didn't react at all, only jumped into the air by Liu Ke, paused for a moment with his perverted ability to stay in the air, and shot steadily. The basketball crossed a standard arc, hit the inside of the basket, and bounced out again!

"Damn!" Liu Ke scolded and wanted to rush to grab the rebound, but Cheng Fei jumped up and flicked it with his hand and gave the rebound to Deng Liang's hand. Deng Liang immediately leaned down and hugged the basketball firmly.

"Rush inside! Rush inside! Coach Gu stood on the sidelines and shouted.

"Let's go!" Wang Zhiwen, who took over the basketball, did not wait for the opponent to retreat, and rushed forward with the dribble. He shook from side to side, changing hands skillfully, and Zhou Shi, who was tall and tall, couldn't break the ball at all, so he could only run along.

Passing, passing, the Rangers completely abandoned their half-court tactics and sacrificed their usual Kombat whirlwind. In front of a team as strong as Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School, does the fast play whirlwind really work?

With a ground pass, Yang Cong quickly crossed the empty midfield and 'shot' to the opponent's ***. Next to him, Liu Kefei went straight down, and he was about to collide with Yang Cong! It was too late, it was fast, Yang Cong passed the ball reflexively, and Cheng Fei, who was running from behind, just caught it, and jumped directly at the position of one step inside the three-point line!

"Good!" Wang Baojiang clapped his hands and shouted. Without complicated tactics, Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School did not react for a while, the original plan to defend Cheng Fei to the death fell through, Liu Ke was staring at Yang Cong, and Song Xiaojun was still on the other side of the half.

Cheng Fei rose from the ground and shot quickly!

The arc was still so perfect, but Zhang Pingya's heart trembled. Cheng Fei's posture just now seemed to be the same as usual, but there was still a feeling of insufficient jumping, and after dozens of minutes of 'fierce' fighting with Xiangfan No. 4 Middle School, Cheng Fei's physical strength directly affected the shooting ......

With a "bell", this shot really didn't hit, it was on the side of the basket and bounced up!

Liu Ke plucked onions on the dry land, and at the same time, Deng Liang, who was rushing from the outside line, also jumped high! Two players with extremely good bouncing power went to grab the rebound at the same time, but the strong Liu Ke took it first, and his elbow was subconsciously raised. Deng Liang couldn't close the momentum, and his face hit him directly!

"Ahh The referee immediately blew the whistle to stop, and the rangers all rushed over, only to see that Deng Liang's fingertips were all bloody, gurgling out! Cheng Fei's heart immediately turned cold!

"Immediately send it to the next infirmary for treatment!" The referee arranged for the event staff to help Deng Liang into the infirmary next to the basketball hall, and then blew the whistle to signal, "The game continues, please replace Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School!" ”

Chen Jie stood up. This pale and weak player is Ge Liu's only substitute center.
