Chapter 129: He's the First

45:54! Cheng Fei's three consecutive three-pointers instantly narrowed the difference to single digits - 9 points!

"Come on! Come on six! Ge Liu's cheerleaders shouted more and more! Yang Cong, Yu Yang and Wang Le joined the ranks of the cheerleaders. And the momentum of the students of the No. 1 Middle School in the city was frustrated, and it was really a terrible thing to see the advantage of more than 20 points destroyed in silence.

"Toot-" The referee blew the whistle, and the City No. 1 Middle School team asked for a timeout.

To the applause, the Rangers walked down to the cheers of their brothers and alumni. Especially Cheng Fei, his face was filled with a happy expression that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he high-fived his friends one by one. Yuan Fan, Xu Jian and others also stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder to show appreciation and encouragement.

"Cheng Fei played well! Liu Junfeng played well! Wang Baojiang said repeatedly, "Everyone is playing well!" Keep up the momentum and play to your rhythm and your strengths! ”

"Yes!" The Rangers shouted in unison.

Over there, Coach Lu arranged the task with a serious expression, "Yang Ji, I will give you a death order now, be sure to prevent that No. 12 from being killed, and curb his attack no matter what." I'm sure you can do it. ”

Yang Ji had a calm face and nodded.

"The speed at which we transmit the ball must be faster, and Zhang Xiaodi's shot must be more decisive!" Coach Lu continued, "Now is not the time to joke, you must hold the rebounds inside!" ”

Wang Baojiang looked at Coach Lu and said with a smile: "City No. 1 Middle School will definitely let Yang Ji defend Cheng Fei, and want to strangle our first scoring point." Cheng Fei, what do you think? ”

Cheng Fei was silent for a moment, bit his lip and said, "I'...... Not sure. ”

"Hmm," Wang Baojiang's face became serious. He originally thought that Cheng Fei had built up the confidence he had lost for a long time in the crazy chasing just now, but he didn't expect Cheng Fei to still have lingering fears about Yang Ji's defense. In Wang Baojiang's view, this is just Cheng Fei's psychological problem, not a technical problem.

Yuan Fan and Xu Jian glanced at each other. They think the same way. Cheng Fei's breakthrough ability in the face of Zhang Xiaodi just now is already on par with the top breakthrough masters in Yichang, even if Yang Ji's defensive ability is so strong, it is not that he has no confidence at all......

Wang Baojiang suddenly said: "Let's try to change the lineup." Cheng Fei you play point guard, Yang Cong points back, Liu Junfeng small forward, big forward Chen Jie, center Deng Liang. We caught each other off guard! ”

Wang Baojiang's meaning is not only to increase Cheng Fei's possession time and let him decide the tactical play, but also to let Yang Cong and Liu Junfeng play at the same time to assist Cheng Fei and put pressure on the opponent. Xu Jian and Yuan Fan nodded in unison. This is indeed a strange move, and I am afraid that the other party will not expect it.

Point guard. This is a position that Cheng Fei loves and hates. Old man Zhang, Wang Baojiang and Zhang Pingya have all let Cheng Fei try point guard, they can all see that Cheng Fei has the potential of an excellent point guard, due to hard work, his ball control level is actually not inferior to Wang Zhiwen, and the ability to control the overall situation, launch tactics, and find gaps is extremely 'outstanding'. Even Zhang Pingya, a professional coach, is very fond of Cheng Fei's point.

And Zhang Pingya has a more long-term view, he once had a short period of 'exchange' with Wang Baojiang, thinking that from a long-term perspective, the most suitable position for Cheng Fei should be point guard, in addition to outstanding assist ability, Cheng Fei's nirvana weapon, shooting and breakthrough can defeat the enemy in all systems. This is a trend of the point guard in professional basketball in the future, which can be called an "all-round guard" or a "two-way guard".

Cheng Fei is a child after all, and he didn't think about it so carefully. He only knows that although point guards can have more opportunities to hold the ball, they also bring more physical problems. What's more, he plays point guard, which is a bit of a steal of Wang Zhiwen's job, after all, Wang Zhiwen is a point guard, the original initiator of this rangers, and the captain all the time......

When the whistle blew, Cheng Fei led his teammates to the field.

Their arrangement of troops really surprised Coach Lu.

Cheng Fei actually went up to meet Li Yun, while Yang Cong targeted Zhang Xiaodi, and Liu Junfeng was also active in Zhang Xiaodi's vicinity. Deng Liang and Chen Jie, the two tallest brothers in the Rangers, stood on the left and right, ready to block the opponent's interior attack and grab rebounds at any time.

When Li Yun controlled the ball near the three-point line, he couldn't help but feel a pang when he saw Cheng Fei sticking up. He has seen Cheng Fei's defensive ability, but fortunately, he Li Yun is not the main scoring point of City No. 1 Middle School, and Ge Liu's deployment like this may make Cheng Fei's defensive ability 'wave' in vain......

The speed of the city No. 1 middle school team was very fast, but it finally fell into the hands of Zhang Xiaodi. At this time, Zhang Xiaodi was facing away from Yang Cong and standing near the two-point line. This is the distance he is most familiar with, whether it is a breakthrough or a turnaround jumper, it is nine out of ten.

"You're going to try it again?" Zhang Xiaodi did not forget to ridicule Yang Cong, who returned to the game.

Yang Cong snorted and did not answer.

Zhang Xiaodi began to dribble, leaning his back against Yang Cong and moving slowly, but Yang Cong's horse step was very steady, and his strength was so strong that he could hardly advance. Zhang Xiaodi looked quite calm in this familiar position, he waved his hand very easily, his body shook, as if he didn't need to make any effort, and turned around and leaned back!

Without Cheng Fei's personal care, Zhang Xiaodi's shot was a little later than before.

An orange-red 'colored' figure flew over, accompanied by a shout, and the man waved his hand and hit Zhang Xiaodi's hand!

"Tut-" At the same time as the whistle sounded, the basketball in Zhang Xiaodi's hand fell into the basket steadily!

Liu Junfeng scolded "lean" in his mouth and raised his hand.

Zhang Xiaodi 'rubbed' his wrist, looked at Liu Junfeng, and walked to the free throw line.

He understood what the other party meant, it turned out that this was to liberate Cheng Fei's defensive task, and at the same time use two-man defense to contain his Zhang Xiaodi's attack. Yang Cong defended the main defense, and Liu Junfeng waited for the opportunity to break the ball or block. This is indeed smart enough, and it is also a great threat to Zhang Xiaodi......

Coach Lu frowned.

The corners of Zhang Xiaodi's mouth flashed a smile. He likes this kind of challenge, no matter what kind of defensive obstacles the opponent sets, even if Cheng Fei and Yang Cong join forces, he Zhang Xiaodi is not afraid! This kind of joint defense can only show the strength of Zhang Xiaodi's ability, and can only 'arouse' his fighting spirit and confidence!

Zhang Xiaodi sighed, shot the basketball, and hit it steadily!

At 45:57, the Colonel No. 1 Middle School team regained its advantage to more than 10 points.

"Defend! Defend! Defend! The students of City No. 1 Middle School shouted in unison, and in a rhythmic call, Yang Ji rushed directly across the half court and stared at Cheng Fei, who was in possession of the ball. They want to carry out a full-court tight 'pressing' and stop Cheng Fei from making a move at any cost!

Wang Baojiang looked at Cheng Fei a little nervously.

As soon as Yang Ji 'forced' forward, Cheng Fei leaned down, dribbled the ball low, and always kept a certain distance from the opponent. This is a decent point guard action, of course, I learned it by seeing Wang Zhiwen in my daily life, but it is also very effective.

When Yang Cong saw this, he wanted to step forward to help, but Cheng Fei motioned for him to go away.

Cheng Fei took two steps back, and suddenly dribbled with a change of hands behind his back, and Yang Ji's center of gravity immediately moved! At the same time, Cheng Fei changed hands behind another beautiful back, Yang Ji was too late to save at this time, and watched Cheng Fei rush over quickly!

"Beautiful!" Yuan Fan couldn't help but sigh. This kind of continuous change of hands behind the back is difficult to see in actual combat.

But Yang Ji will never give up, his style is to stalk. When Cheng Fei 'inserted' directly into the frontcourt, Yang Ji's speed was also very fast, and he stepped forward in three or two steps, and his slender arm stretched out directly to Cheng Fei's hand to control the ball. This person really never forgets to actively cause trouble for his opponent at all times!

Cheng Fei immediately stopped his steps and gestured with his left hand.

In the frontcourt, Deng Liang pulled to the middle, and Liu Junfeng and Yang Cong swept past Deng Liang like two sharp arrows in an arc! This is another tactic that Zhang Pingya mentioned to the Rangers before this game, but it was limited to time, and he just talked about some essentials and personally led a few back and forth.

Presumably Zhang Pingya didn't expect that after this tactic was digested in Cheng Fei's head, it would already be able to be implemented on the field!

Cheng Fei passed to Liu Junfeng, Liu Junfeng went straight to Deng Liang, and when Deng Liang passed it to Yang Cong, Zhang Xiaodi found that he was out of position!

The so-called tactics are mostly completed by using various blocking and dismantling and making walls, and applying many kinds of running routes. Zhang Xiaodi encountered repeated blocks from his teammates and Deng Liang and Liu Junfeng in a row, coupled with Yang Cong's speed as fast as lightning, when he ran to the outside line, he found that Yang Cong had turned back and 'inserted' to the inside line and took Deng Liang's pass!

Yang Cong didn't dribble, he stepped up in two steps, the basketball was raised in his left hand, and the injured right hand was lightly supported, and the instantaneous explosive force started the body and rushed straight up!

Deng Chang, who was defending Deng Liang, reacted and hurriedly jumped up, wanting to stop Yang Cong. But in mid-air, he suddenly realized that Yang Cong's wrist was injured, and he had cheated on foul free throws several times before, so he took back his outstretched hand!

On the basket, at a glance, Yang Cong vented all his anger, and poured his left hand into the basket fiercely!

"Click", the audience was shocked!

The scoring champion who averaged 35 points per game, a defensive engineer who was willing to be unknown due to a wrist injury, finally regained his true 'color' at this time, and successfully dunked with his left hand!

Zhang Xiaodi couldn't help but be moved, and Deng Chang's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's okay!" Cheng Fei high-fived Yang Cong, who ran over, and asked with concern.

"It's fine!" Yang Congming was very 'excited', "It's cool!" How long has it been since I've done this! ”

Wang Baojiang stood on the sidelines and smiled with satisfaction: "What a good guy, you can't use your right hand, and you still have your left hand!" ”

In the next round, Zhang Xiaodi rushed forward with the ball, but hesitated for a moment. Yang Cong and Liu Junfeng, the two fastest and quickest forwards in the rangers, joined forces to block the pace of the ace of the city's No. 1 Middle School. They stared coldly at Zhang Xiaodi, one left and one right, casting an iron wall that was almost impossible to pass through.

"It's up to you." Coach Lu said in a low voice.

Zhang Xiaodi dribbled the ball and laughed "hehe".

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

"It seems that Ge Liu is going to make up his mind to block our attack," Coach Lu said, "and let the two of them join forces to defend Zhang Xiaodi." But they forgot one thing, so the defense is bound to leak people......"

Zhang Xiaodi dribbled the ball and glanced at Yang Ji over there, but he didn't mean to pass the ball.

Yang Ji also stood outside the three-point line with a blank face, paying attention to Zhang Xiaodi, and had no intention of asking for the ball. He is one of the twin stars, but he is also used to playing according to Zhang Xiaodi's wishes, and is used to 'standing up' and contributing only when Zhang Xiaodi has no way to cope.

"He's going to hit two," Yuan Fan said with a smile, "Zhang Xiaodi is really arrogant!" ”

"These two people defend, and it's hard to break through with anyone...... Yu Yang said.

"The most important thing to break the two-man joint defense is timing." Before Xu Jian's words fell, Zhang Xiaodi suddenly swept past Liu Junfeng's side! There was almost no warning of his change of hands, just such a direct step, a slap of the ball, and rushed to Liu Junfeng's right side!

But Liu Junfeng's reaction was very fast after all, he just stretched out his hand and stepped away, and the whirlwind Zhang Xiaodi completely ignored it, like a speeding tank, which made Liu Junfeng's hands and feet feel numb, and Zhang Xiaodi had completely rushed over!

This is not only a matter of rhythm and speed, this is the most exquisite physical confrontation of professional players, and it is the kind of breakthrough that uses the momentum of the body to fight a bloody way!

Yang Cong 'inserted' the defense from the middle, but still did not stop it.

Zhang Xiaodi was like a bloodthirsty beast, holding the ball in his right arm and suddenly picking it up, so frightened that Yang Cong immediately stopped his feet and watched this guy in black clothes and black 'pants' rise from a long distance!

With a loud "bang", Zhang Xiaodi picked up his right arm and poured the ball into the basket fiercely!

Due to the impact of this speed and power, Zhang Xiaodi on the basket 'swinged'. He turned back in mid-air, but it was no longer the ferocious beast, but a handsome young man with a confident smile. With a shake of his body, he fell gently.

"It's amazing." Cheng Fei muttered.

The speed and momentum of breaking through the joint defense just now suddenly set off overwhelming applause and cheers from the audience!

"I see," Yu Yang took a breath, "I finally know why he is the first person in the Yichang area!" ”

This goal completely highlights Zhang Xiaodi's excellence; Just this one goal is enough for him to distance himself from other masters, so that he can look down on Yichang and be invincible.

The offensive awareness embodied in this goal really surpassed Cheng Fei. Ordinary players have a "straight" way of thinking, that is, they hope to "do it in one step", but because of technical limitations, physical limitations, and judgment limitations, they often make reckless moves; The general masters, the way of thinking is "bent", they use their own skills to find the weaknesses in the opponent's defense, open the gap, and then attack; As for the average professional player, the way of thinking has returned to "straight", they use skillful skills and control of the body, with the momentum of splitting Huashan, from an angle that ordinary people think is inappropriate, 'inserted' in, and score straightforwardly......

Cheng Fei has always been in a "bent" way of thinking. Ten thousand 'flowers' have been in the bush, and the leaves do not stick to the body, which is the principle and dream pursued by the vast majority of amateur masters.

"Good, good!" Coach Lu's eyes sparkled. He could see that Zhang Xiaodi had completely entered the state.

"Come!" Cheng Fei rushed after receiving the ball, but Yang Ji's layers of blocking did cause him a lot of trouble. Three seconds passed, four seconds, five seconds...... Cheng Fei, who refused the help of his teammates, has not yet brought the ball through the midfield!

Yang Ji still defended calmly, using his strong body to stop Cheng Fei's progress.

The audience immediately cheered, and Wang Baojiang was so anxious to stand up!

Cheng Fei took a deep breath, slowed down his pace, and stepped back slightly. Seeing that Cheng Fei was showing signs of pulling out the space to break through, the cunning Yang Ji immediately moved his pace, pressing step by step, not giving the other party any chance. Unexpectedly, Cheng Fei suddenly rotated with his left hand, and his entire body also rotated, and he shook off Yang Ji cleanly!

The cheering came to an abrupt end!

Yang Ji immediately turned around to chase after him, but he tripped and almost fell to the floor. Fortunately, he was quick with his hands and feet and supported his upper body, so he didn't make this ugly. What is surprising is that Cheng Fei actually stood outside the three-point line, facing Zhang Xiaodi, who was making up for defense, and had no intention of breaking through.

He turned his head and looked at Yang Ji who ran over. It wasn't until Yang Ji ran in front of him that Cheng Fei spoke: "Your defense is very good, I can break through you in the backcourt, but there is almost no chance in the frontcourt." ”

Yang Ji smiled coldly, and even responded: "It's good to know." ”

Cheng Fei said lightly: "Although I may not be able to get rid of you, I can still score." ”

Yang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Let's try." ”

The corners of Cheng Fei's mouth showed a confident smile, "I just thought of it, you can't stop me." ”

Yang Ji sarcastically said: "The step-back jump shot is useless to me, I won't let you shoot comfortably!" ”

Cheng Fei stopped talking, started quickly under his feet, strode the meteor, and swept away! At the same time, Yang Cong made the wall, Liu Junfeng pulled to the top arc, and Deng Liang also pulled out, and the inside was suddenly much more spacious!

Although Cheng Fei's pace was fast, Yang Ji still followed beside him like kraft candy, not relaxing at all. What he said is not wrong, even if Cheng Fei uses a step-back jumper, it is difficult to take advantage. You must know that Zhang Xiaodi is a master who is good at shooting backwards, and Yang Ji has accumulated a lot of experience in defending backwards, and he believes that his reflexes and speed are enough to interfere with the opponent's shooting to the greatest extent......

As Cheng Fei said, he didn't shake off Yang Ji, but he still jumped up!

Yang Ji didn't have the perverted bouncing power of Cheng Fei, his left hand pressed Cheng Fei's waist, and his right hand reached out to Cheng Fei's eyes, controlling the opponent's shooting route in all directions. However, Cheng Fei fulfilled his promise!

A miracle in the sky, born!
