Chapter 103: The Battle of Qualifications (7)
The fourth quarter begins. The school team still launched a half-court joint defense, and the five players performed their own duties, and they could complement each other, forming an iron bucket-like defensive formation. Although they are amateur players in ordinary high schools, at first glance, they already have a preliminary sense of tactical execution and ability.
Set aside the half-court joint defense, they are an invincible shield that cannot be attacked.
There is no way to know how many breakthrough masters this shield has been tested by. But for several years there were only one or two spears that could actually pierce this shield. Yuan Fan is one, but he can't win from the six with his own strength; Zhang Xiaodi of Yichang No. 1 Middle School is one, in addition to his extraordinary singles ability, he relied more on the help of other talented players to be able to be one head above the No. 6 Middle School team, so that the Yichang No. 1 Middle School Colonel Team occupies the position of the leading leader.
Strange to say, Xu Jian can be said to be the weakest point in the school team. His defensive ability is really insignificant compared to his offensive ability. However, once he gets serious, he is by no means so easy to deal with. When Cheng Fei broke through before, he was tackled by Xu Jian.
This is rare in the eyes of others - Xu Jian almost never steals, and if there are technical statistics, his number of rebounds, blocks, and steals is almost zero. This is in stark contrast to the amazing score.
Wang Zhiwen steadily advanced with the ball, and just when the blue sky came up, he suddenly paused. Lan Tian instinctively thought that he was going to pass the ball to Cheng Fei, his body was biased, and he wanted to steal, but he didn't expect Wang Zhiwen to change hands quickly and enter the front court from the left side!
It is worthy of the school team, and when I saw the outside players break into the three-point line, the formation changed immediately! It was originally evenly dispersed, but it immediately transformed into an oblique triangle. Xu Jian at the top of the arc, Zhang Hao in the middle circle and Hou Yankun at the bottom corner are like opening a net that cannot be escaped.
The blue sky that was shaken by Wang Zhiwen just now came from the top of the arc, and it just sealed the net mouth of this net.
For a time, a situation of four defenses and one was formed in the half.
Of course, this is just a formation. If Wang Zhiwen continues to break through, he will inevitably face at least a two-man attack and a situation where the opponent's four people are tightening and encircling 'force'. Not many people can see this kind of formation, but Cheng Fei can see it very clearly.
When tactics and formations are evolving and have not yet taken shape, Cheng Fei always has the talent to perceive in advance.
"Wang Zhiwen!" Cheng Fei shouted and immediately ran to the weak side (author's note: the side of the half court where the player holding the team was not there).
Xu Jian was immediately attracted away. As soon as Xu Jian left, the formation loosened.
At this time, if Wang Zhiwen moves sideways with the help of opportunities, he can get rid of Fang Cai's passive situation, and even if he can't find a shooting opportunity, he can also create opportunities for Cheng Fei or other teammates on the weak side. It's a pity that very few amateur players have this kind of tactical awareness, and naturally, Wang Zhiwen didn't do it either.
When he heard Cheng Fei's words, he immediately passed the ball. He thought Cheng Fei had got a vacant seat.
"Oops!" Cheng Fei's heart froze, Xu Jian really flashed out and quickly broke the ball!
"Let's go!" Hou Yankun roared and 'shot' straight to the front! The school team started with five tigers and rumbled to kill the past!
Xu Jian took the lead and strode forward. His strange pace is not fast, but his steps are very far, and even the sprinter Hou Yankun is left behind!
"Beware!" Zhang Hao shouted. Xu Jian tilted his head slightly, and Cheng Fei actually followed closely to the side, not relaxing at all. It's just that the speed is limited because he has to stay in a position to block the opponent's pass at all times.
Xu Jian took two steps and swept into the three-point line, and the ball in his hand disappeared without a trace!
Yang Cong and the others on the sidelines didn't see it at all, and they couldn't help but be shocked. This Xu Jian's passing skills are really weird, he is like half of a magician, and he can't see the movements in his hands at all!
"Good shot!" The basketball really appeared in Hou Yankun's hand. He immediately stopped his galloping steps at the free throw line, and his vigorous figure paused steadily, his body curled up slightly, holding the ball in both hands, but his eyes were staring at Xu Jian who was fast down the sideline!
Hou Yankun's first choice is naturally to play two against one in the front court, and let Xu Jian, who has a hot shooting hand, come to shoot.
Unexpectedly, he took a lot of steps. Cheng Fei's first reaction was to block Hou Yankun's pass to Xu Jian, and there was no intention of taking care of both sides at all, which made Hou Yankun's attempt to widen the passing distance and attract Cheng Fei to the end. What made Hou Yankun even more frustrated was that when he decisively jumped and shot, Cheng Fei jumped over with one step!
Cheng Fei's judgments were all correct. first block the passing line, attract Hou Yankun to shoot, and then take advantage of Hou Yankun's decision to shoot, and immediately go forward to block. Between stillness and movement, the wisdom of basketball is fully revealed!
It's too late, it's too soon! Of course, Hou Yankun didn't have time to think so much, he chose to jump and shoot decisively. However, even when he saw Cheng Fei about to pounce, he didn't worry too much. Hou Yankun's bounce is very good, and it is almost impossible to be disturbed with such a long-distance jump shot.
He was wrong. First, Cheng Fei's stride has a time in advance; Second, Cheng Fei's vertical and horizontal bounce power is really beyond everyone's imagination.
Hou Yankun shot in mid-air, and the basketball was jumping up with high spirits, and suddenly, Cheng Fei's fingertips could reach it. The spinning basketball immediately stopped spinning and almost stopped in mid-air!
Cheng Fei seemed to have stopped in mid-air for a moment like a roc spreading its wings. In the next half second, people saw Cheng Fei's fingers climb up, his arm was retracted again, and with a "snap", he actually took off the basketball!
"Wow-" Although there were not many people in the stadium, they all shouted in unison!
Cheng Fei fell vertically, made a pass to the ground, and 'handed over' Wang Zhiwen, who happened to run over. Wang Zhiwen received the ball and turned around.
Almost instantly, the 'tide' that had just rushed to this side immediately changed direction and rushed back!
"Hell!" Hou Yankun waved his hand in annoyance and chased after Cheng Fei. He didn't even have time to think about how terrible it was for the other party to jump from so far away and take off the basketball that he had already shot so high! All he could do now was to get the ball back and make up for his mistake!
Wang Zhiwen hit the ground and passed the ball in the movement and passed it to Cheng Fei's hands again. Hou Yankun's speed was very amazing, and he had already swept to Cheng Fei's side, and his palm was lying on his shoulder.
Cheng Fei didn't stop, dribbled with his left hand, and started to hit the inside line from the left side of the front court!
Hou Yankun followed beside him reluctantly, and Zhang Hao also pounced!
With two big steps, Cheng Fei rose into the air, but the ball suddenly changed to his right hand, and his whole body leaned slightly to the right, as if he wanted to pass the ball to his teammates. At this time, Hou Yankun and Zhang Hao just jumped, and both of them subconsciously pounced on Cheng Fei's right side at the same time!
In mid-air, Cheng Fei dangled a shot, and the basketball jumped to his left hand like a naughty bird in the forest!
This left and right, the change was so sudden that Hou Yankun and Zhang Hao couldn't react, and the basket suddenly 'revealed' a *** gap, Cheng Fei easily picked up the ball with his left hand without any obstruction, and wiped the board into the basket!
"It's amazing!" Tian Shengyong couldn't help but sigh.
"Beautiful! Pretty! Liu Junfeng couldn't help but jump up with a 'wool' scarf.
"Oh my God!" Yang Hongjuan smiled, "How much surprise does he have to give us!" ”
At 59:57, the Rangers lead again!
"Defend! Defend! Wang Zhiwen shouted, signaling the team members to hurry back to defense. At this time, Zhang Yulai and Chen Jie were already a little physically exhausted. Although Zhang Yulai is the main starter, he has been on the field for too long, and Chen Jie is the worst physical strength among them.
Cheng Fei stared at Xu Jian.
The varsity team did not rush to launch a fast attack, and Blue Sky advanced unhurriedly. Cheng Fei began to mark near half-time.
"You're amazing." Xu Jian suddenly said, he didn't look at Cheng Fei, he was only paying attention to the ball in Lan Tian's hand.
In Cheng Fei's impression, this was the first time that the ace of the school team spoke to him, and he actually took the initiative to speak. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Although I don't know if Xu Jian is a person who is stingy with appreciation, but looking at his 'sexual' personality, he must rarely express such a meaning directly! Cheng Fei couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Our coach Zhang said that whoever wins this game will be eligible to participate in the national league," Cheng Fei groaned for a moment and said, "I know, you also want to get this qualification." ”
"Nope." To Cheng Fei's surprise, Xu Jian categorically denied it.
Cheng Fei was speechless for a while. The two moved to near the three-point line, and Xu Jiancai said: "Before today's game, we reached a consensus. Since you won the promotion spot, it is natural that you should represent the sixth middle school. Even if you lose today's game, we have to give it up, otherwise we will be upset. ”
"That ......"
"I wasn't going to play, but you're far more powerful than we thought, so I changed my mind." Xu Jian said lightly, "This year is our last year in the sixth middle school, and we hope to have a real showdown. There is no doubt that you are worthy opponents. ”
Cheng Fei's heart swelled with pride.
Xu Jian looked at Cheng Fei. Those eyes were deep and black, and they seemed to hide many stories that could not be told. Then, he looked away again and continued: "Before we give up the qualification, please make us believe that you can represent the highest level of Gezhouba No. 6!" We desperately need you to defeat you! ”
"Xu Jian!" Blue Sky shouted, passing the basketball.
Xu Jian received the ball easily, grabbed it with one hand, and stretched out his arm far away.
"I'll give it my all." Xu Jian said. His sweat soaked his clothes, dense sweat rolled down his forehead, his face was flushed, and he gasped slightly. A vigorous energy seeped out of his body.
His body shook slightly, and suddenly his right foot took a sharp step! When Cheng Fei came back to his senses, Xu Jian had already crossed his side!
Although the Rangers' individual defensive ability is not weak, the half-court defense is far from enough, Xu Jian has been 'touching' and rolling on the court for many years, so he naturally will not take this level of defense in his eyes.
He's just too fast, and the way he shoots is weird, as if he can shoot from any position and from any distance. By the time Li Lin and Zhang Yulai joined forces to close the 'door', Xu Jian had already successfully thrown the ball into the basket!
"'Milk' and 'milk', it's really unstoppable!" Liu Junfeng also had to admire.
"They can't prevent Cheng Fei, it's really difficult now," Yang Cong said, "It's impossible to decide who wins or who loses." ”
Both sides are a first-class defense, and neither has made achievements. Cheng Fei passed the ball to Wang Zhiwen, Wang Zhiwen didn't shoot, and Xu Jian also missed here. The score remained 59:59, and it was a draw for the time being.
Cheng Fei rushed to the front court with the ball, and Xu Jian followed closely behind. He wasn't as fast on defense as he was on offense, although he did his best. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that what can really contain the Rangers, especially Cheng Fei's offense, depends on the strength of the school's overall joint defense, especially the interior combination. After Xu Jian came on the court, the inside monster Tong Xiaoli almost completely gave up scoring, and was only responsible for rebounding and defensive tasks.
Just when Cheng Fei entered the inner line, the oblique triangle of the school team had also been formed, and it was quickly surrounded!
Cheng Fei wanted to get into *** with the ball, but he didn't expect that although Tong Xiaoli was big, his reaction was not slow, he moved his steps and was stuck on Cheng Fei's forward route, and Hou Yankun also came around at the same time.
With the corner of his eye, Cheng Fei found that he was already under siege, and with the strength of Tong Xiaoli's blocking, his steps paused, his body fell back diagonally, his arms were raised straight, and he was facing the direction of the basket accurately!
"Lean back!" Yang Cong stood up.
"What an exaggerated angle!" Tian Shengyong's eyes widened.
Tong Xiaoli jumped vertically, like an insurmountable copper wall; And Hou Yankun also jumped up diagonally, trying to cover Cheng Fei's shot, and he was ashamed!
They are too far off. Cheng Fei flew out diagonally, and the basketball flew steadily into the sky!
That amazing waist and belly strength is enough to make anyone on the school team envious!
With a sound of "swish", the hoop was flooded with snow-white 'waves' and 'flowers'. Cheng Fei's feet hit the ground first, and finally sat on the ground!
"It seems that his step-back jumper is getting more and more experienced." Tian Shengyong said, "Looking at it now, although his recline angle has not changed much, the stability of the air has been enhanced a lot. This kid's waist and abdomen strength is really extraordinary, and Xu Jian is completely inferior at this point. ”
"And did you notice," Yang Hongjuan said, "and when you look at his game today, it always feels like he didn't play." I don't think he's fully mastered the ability to control his body, which means he still has a lot of room for improvement. Those few actions that are enough to frighten people to death, he does them all with 'sex'......"
"The future is limitless," Tian Shengyong sighed, "It seems that Xu Jian can prepare for the exam with peace of mind." ”
Yang Hongjuan looked at the old man Zhang with a solemn face, and said, "If Cheng Fei can guard against Xu Jian today, he must also feel that his hard work has not been in vain...... A player who is full of offense and defense is probably the last wish of his life! ”
In the next few minutes, the school team became more and more fierce. The Rangers, who lacked major generals, gradually became unstoppable, Xu Jian's attack was still unstoppable, and the experience of years of fighting also brought benefits to the school team, they knew how to save physical strength, how to cooperate with each other effectively.
In contrast, the main problem of the Rangers is a severe lack of physical strength. Wang Zhiwen and Li Lin are relatively better, although Cheng Fei has experienced hellish physical training, but because he has undertaken most of the offensive tasks, he is not very supportive now, and Zhang Yulai and Chen Jie have completely become weakness.
Just when the school team just opened the score with 74:69 and the lead reached 5 points, Cheng Fei once again 'stood up'. He suddenly hit a three-point shot in front of Xu Jian, and then successfully broke through the inside line, won a foul, and played a beautiful 2+1. These two important goals narrowed the gap back to one point.
With half a minute to go, one point can be a chasm that can never be crossed, or it can be a small line. Everyone was in a state of extreme tension. Needless to say, teachers such as Wang Baojiang, Tian Shengyong, and Yang Hongjuan made a good decision, and the winner participated in the national league. They focus most on who is the winner.
Even though the fourth quarter wasn't a fair game, and even though it was a game with a bit of a prologue and a bit of a strange process, what was said had to be delivered, otherwise the game wouldn't be meaningful. The audience on the sidelines, as well as Yang Cong and others, as well as the players on the field, were also extremely nervous. Only Old Man Zhang's expression was quite calm.
Far from being heavy, Xu Jian's steps became lighter and lighter. He swept across the field like a gale, slashing toward the Rangers' position. At this time, Chen Jie and Zhang Yulai have not yet returned to the defense, only Cheng Fei at the top of the arc and Li Lin and Wang Zhiwen on both sides. And Hou Yankun and Lan Tian, who were the fastest in the school team, also ran to the front court, and opened the distance quite tacitly, leaving Xu Jian with plenty of room to break through.
It's still one-on-one.
There are still about twenty seconds, and Xu Jian can completely control the time and slow down. But he didn't. He never gave the other person a chance to breathe, or he had something else to think about. Anyway, Xu Jian immediately started.
This time, however, something is different.
Cheng Fei's head completely entered a realm of no other. This is a normal situation that many people have at the end of the game. He couldn't see other opponents and teammates, and the chaotic thoughts that accompanied the whole game were now gone. There was only a young man in white in front of him, slowly dribbling the ball, with the same nothingness and calmness in his eyes.
That step. The fastest step. An unbeatable step.
Xu Jian didn't rush over.
I don't know how it moved, and I don't know what kind of quick early reaction it was, in short, Cheng Fei's nerves made his limbs make perfect movements. At this moment, he was in front of Xu Jian.
Xu Jian's offensive frustrated. Probably rarely blocked by such a 'fine' accuracy, and the rhythm of his dribbling was slightly 'messy'.
Cheng Fei, who was close behind, stared at the basketball in his hand. This time face to face, the distance between the two sides is closer, and the mystery between offense and defense is all in the millimeter. Xu Jian realized the danger of the ball, and decisively protected the ball and turned around, still a beautiful big stride, and bypassed Cheng Fei extremely quickly!
"It's over!" Yang Cong shouted.
He knew that Xu Jian's shooting was too hidden, and often when he just made a move, the ball was shot. This is completely contrary to the rhythm of ordinary shooting, so that the opponent's defense often misses. But his shooting percentage is surprisingly high.
Xu Jian didn't jump up, and he didn't even stretch out his arms. His hands were on Cheng Fei's shoulders, bent over, and maintained the usual tight 'pressing' posture at the last moment. Only then did the people on the sidelines realize that the basketball was tightly in Cheng Fei's hands!
"Very well," Xu Jian's tone was still so calm, "the final victory is in your hands." However, you have to step through our corpses to open the big 'door' of the national league! ”
