Chapter 131: The Dawn of Light

That kind of phantom-like breakthrough footsteps are like Xu Jian's most proud "'lost' steps". In just an instant, Cheng Fei disappeared in front of defensive expert Yang Ji!

This kind of breakthrough is not only about speed and explosiveness, but also about some small but very important skills. In fact, there is an extremely subtle feint before the shake, which is difficult for outsiders to see, but the defender will miscalculate because of this feint, and when seizing the gap between the opponent's mental and physical reactions, he can get rid of the opponent in a very short time by using big strides and sharp turns.

Cheng Fei has fought face-to-face with Xu Jian for many rounds, and he already has a deep understanding of Xu Jian's breakthrough steps. Learning and applying this is Cheng Fei's most valuable quality.

By the time Yang Ji reacted, Cheng Fei had already thrown off two steps away, and quickly cut to the inside!

Because of the unexpected speed of his movements, Zhang Xiaodi subconsciously rushed over to block it, but the other party's speed had already increased, and he swept over with a swish. Zhang Xiaodi's obstruction not only did not work, but also became Cheng Fei's background.

At this time, Cheng Fei had no distractions, he leaned over and only cared about accelerating forward 'insertion', just like a predatory cheetah, this speed crossed half the field in an instant, it was like lightning and stone fire, indescribable!

When the big forward Du Hui pounced, Cheng Fei kicked the ground with his left foot and flew in the air!

Since Du Hui pounced from the front, and Cheng Fei was prepared, he jumped along the diagonal line. Therefore, Du Hui's blockade will not actually play a role, unless Cheng Fei disarms and surrenders. And jumping diagonally to the basket makes Cheng Fei's aerial posture particularly beautiful this time!

White cranes dance. Longbow 'shoots' the day. No matter how you describe it, you can't show such beauty.

Cheng Fei's feet were slightly bent, and while passing by Du Hui, his hands holding the ball also pulled back, dodging Du Hui's palm, and his whole body was like a glider, like a flying meteor, floating to the right side of the basket!

It was as if he was making an unbelievable lateral movement at the highest point, and Du Hui was already falling.

All the wide-eyed eyes looked at the sky, and Zhang Xiaodi's gaze was even more complicated. Yang Ji's eyes were a kind of despair that he had never felt before. The twin stars of the first middle school team in the city never thought that they would meet such an opponent today......

Cheng Fei didn't know how high he flew. Just like back then, he leaped up in the hallway of his dormitory, and the tall light bulb suddenly came close in front of him, and he could pick it up. Now, the white 'colored' basketball net and strong basket are also close in front of you, and you can reach out and touch them!

The left hand is released, the right hand is used to hold the ball by habit, and the "click" is dunked into the basket!

His body was like a longbow after 'shooting' an arrow in the air, and it unfolded violently, and the net fell into the sea like a drop of water, causing a beautiful ripple!

After landing, Cheng Fei, who was 1.78 meters tall, staggered two steps and stood firm with a smile.

A year ago, he watched the NBA game video for the first time at Yu Yang's home, and one of the players with the number 23 left a deep impression on him. The man split the defense like a sharp blade with extremely fast steps, and scored directly with a thunderous dunk. Scoring, winning, in that person, is what is needed, and no one can stop it......

Today, Cheng Fei seems to have done just that.

With a faint smile on his face, he ran to the backfield. Yang Cong and Liu Junfeng rushed up to high-five him. There was a moment of silence in the basketball hall, and suddenly thunderous applause erupted, and they undoubtedly dedicated their appreciation to this young prodigy from Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School. Today, for the first time, the protagonist is not Zhang Xiaodi, but this boy with clear eyes and a kind face.

Coach Lu was still sitting in his seat, silent, his hands clasped together in front of his nose, and his eyes never left No. 12. Yang Ji is obviously no longer able to afford the defensive task, Zhang Xiaodi once again fell into a state of low 'confusion', and the Colonel of the No. 1 Middle School in the city will also go to a turning point, Ge Liu's momentum is like a rainbow......

However, Coach Lu has no chance to take a timeout.

The damn Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School, the tenacious counterattack again and again, and the attack and defense of one "wave" after another, made the always calm Coach Lu "mess up", and constantly relied on timeouts to cheer up and guide the players. At this point, the pause has been exhausted.

And does the pause really work? It was the soldiers, not the divisions, who were rushing to the front line. The battlefield is complex and changeable, even if it is strategized, there is no guarantee of a decisive victory thousands of miles away!

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

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 63:67, and the city No. 1 Middle School only retained a four-point advantage.

It can be seen from the expressions of both sides that the score does not fully explain the strength or weakness. The Rangers were full of sunshine, sweaty, but full of fighting spirit, they drank water, excitedly surrounded Wang Baojiang, and discussed the last section of the fight; And the city No. 1 middle school team over there was lifeless, Zhang Xiaodi's expression was gloomy, Coach Lu was spitting and talking about something, and Yang Ji looked at Zhang Xiaodi worriedly from time to time.

In the basketball hall, the students were talking a lot and seemed noisy. Obviously, most of the students were anxious, and this game was the most difficult game for the City No. 1 Middle School team in a long time. Historically, no team has been able to pose any threat in the half of the pitch as long as the twin stars are present.

The outbreak of Cheng Fei, a new star, has indeed become a cancer that cannot be treated by the colonel of the city's No. 1 Middle School.

If this situation is allowed to continue, the City No. 1 Middle School Colonel will inevitably face a defeat. However, Coach Lu really doesn't have much to do. The most important thing at the moment is how to boost the fighting spirit of the players, especially Zhang Xiaodi's fighting spirit. In the final minutes of the third quarter, he took three shots and none of them hit. Yang Cong and Liu Junfeng's two-man joint defense has played a very good effect.

"Joint defense!" Coach Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Completely block the 12th, Li Yun and Yang Ji will go to the joint defense!" ”

Yang Ji nodded and didn't say anything. This is really no way, the other party adopts a joint defense to deal with Zhang Xiaodi, they can't be too reserved, facing the 12th with an extremely strong attack power, only a double defense.

"Zhang Xiaodi, come on!"

"Zhang Xiaodi, come on!"

"Zhang Xiaodi, come on!"

The whistle blew in the fourth quarter, followed by a tsunami of cheering in the basketball arena. The students folded their hands into the shape of trumpets and desperately shouted Zhang Xiaodi's name. In their minds, Zhang Xiaodi is the representative of this championship team, that is, the soul, and the body that has lost its soul is numb and terrifying. Only by awakening Zhang Xiaodi's fighting spirit can they see a truly promising team.

Isn't this year the year of hope for all the students of the city's No. 1 Middle School?

Zhang Xiaodi has rich experience in participating in the national league, and his personal ability has been improved again. Yang Ji has truly become a star who can stand alone, and has become Zhang Xiaodi's powerful arm. And the other players have also improved a lot. Everyone believes that this is one of the strongest school teams in the history of City No. 1 High School, and they have the ability to fight into the national league and make history!

No one expected that in the promotion tournament in Yichang, this team full of hope would encounter extremely severe challenges!

Cheng Fei led the rangers back to the court. He looked at Zhang Xiaodi who walked over from the opposite side, and recalled in his head what Wang Baojiang said just now.

"Both strong and weak are relative. If you are one point stronger, your opponent will be two points weaker. I have to apologize to Cheng Fei for my previous thoughts, several of our PE teachers think that Cheng Fei is very talented, but he is psychologically fragile, and even worried that he will not be able to take on big responsibilities. Take a look at Cheng Fei's performance today, he made Zhang Xiaodi, known as the first person in Yichang High School basketball, a weakling, and he completely hit the opponent's fighting spirit with practical actions. Is the other party not strong enough? Are they too vulnerable? No, it's neither, it's you who have become stronger, it's you who are stronger than them! Only the strongest of the best can win the final victory of the game! ”

The final quarter of the game began.

As soon as Cheng Fei got the ball in the backcourt, Li Yun and Yang Ji 'forced' forward. The team of the first middle school in the city immediately sacrificed the whole court to 'press', and finally made up their minds to defend Cheng Fei in pairs! Aside from anything else, this is definitely a very high treatment for Cheng Fei, a newcomer.

Cheng Fei did not hesitate to throw the ball to Yang Cong of Ceying. Li Yun and Yang Ji were still closely following Cheng Fei, and Yang Cong was completely empty. They calculated that Yang Cong didn't have any offensive ability today.

Yang Cong passed the ball to Liu Junfeng, but when Liu Junfeng transferred the ball, he was tackled by Du Hui and touched the ball out of bounds. At this time, the team of the No. 1 Middle School in the city also plucked up its 'spirit' and began to fight frantically!

Liu Junfeng sent a throw-in and planned to 'hand' it over to Cheng Fei, but Li Yun went around the front and Yang Ji was behind, almost surrounding Cheng Fei in an airtight airtight air. He had no choice but to 'hand' the ball to Zhang Yulai on the inside.

After a lot of back and forth, the Rangers still hadn't found a suitable opportunity to attack. Just when the offensive time was about to run out, Liu Junfeng was in a hurry to dribble and break through, and was once again tackled by Du Hui, and the ball was lucky to go out of bounds. The ball is still in the hands of the Rangers, but the offensive time on the scoreboard is clear, and there are only 2 seconds left!

Cheng Fei suddenly started and stepped directly to a step outside the three-point line, and Liu Junfeng immediately served!

At this time, Yang Ji was already clinging to Cheng Fei's back, while Li Yun was stuck in the route that Cheng Fei might break through from the side, and the two of them were 'pressing' step by step, and they almost hugged Cheng Fei. Even if it's a foul, they don't hesitate to do it!

However, what they didn't expect was that the moment Cheng Fei actually took the ball, he jumped and turned around directly!

Cheng Fei's jump this time completely brought into play the advantages of his bounce superman. It's rare for someone to jump and shoot so high off the ground, but Cheng Fei always follows one principle - the higher he jumps, the more accurate he shoots. In fact, there is also an underlying principle, the higher the jump shot off the ground, the less likely it is to be blocked by the opponent.

Yang Ji and Li Yun were too late to react, they raised their heads and watched Cheng Fei lightly stretch his ape arms above his head, and steadily 'shot' a super long three-point shot!

With the whistle when the offensive time is up, the basketball falls straight to the center of the net!

"Wow-" The audience let out an exclamation in unison. Judging from the scene, Cheng Fei seems to have completely changed as a person, and he is quite calm under the joint defense of Yang Ji and Li Yun; And Zhang Xiaodi over there witnessed Cheng Fei's "miracle" again, and his face was gloomy again.

66:67! Just 1 point difference! Just a stone's throw away!

"Overtake! Overtake! Overtake! Ge Liu's cheerleaders shouted under the leadership of unknown people. There are not many of them, but they work together to create a world in the 'chaotic' basketball hall.

City No. 1 Middle School did not dare to advance, Zhang Xiaodi controlled the ball, and slowly advanced to the frontcourt.

Yang Cong and Liu Junfeng are waiting for the battle, and they know that the success of this defense may directly determine whether they can achieve a comeback. Zhang Xiaodi's face was 'pale' and 'gloomy', and his lips were bitten white. It can be seen that his heart is engaged in a 'fierce' struggle, and he forcibly calms himself down.

Start, break through ...... Yang Cong and Liu Junfeng held their positions to the death, making it difficult for Zhang Xiaodi to move an inch!

Change hands, break through again...... Zhang Xiaodi almost tried his best, he was not very good at all kinds of gorgeous ball control actions, but he dribbled very steadily, repeatedly changed hands and shook the center of gravity, but Yang Cong was never fooled.

Zhang Xiaodi took a step back, turned around and throw, Yang Cong's hand almost reached the basketball!

With a "clang", the ball hit the edge of the basket and still didn't go in! The audience immediately burst into a sigh!

Deng Chang and Deng Liang jumped at the same time, although Deng Chang grabbed the rebound first, but the flexible Deng Liang quickly played down. A figure suddenly rushed over and grabbed the basketball, and hit the board with agility!

It was Yang Ji. He made less than five shots in the game and hit four goals. This time, it was he who grabbed a key rebound and scored a goal at a critical moment, temporarily preserving the situation of being overtaken by Ge Liu.

"I can't hold it anymore." Yang Cong said breathlessly.

He was full of energy, and he never complained of being tired, and when he said such things, he showed the degree of fatigue. Outsiders never pay attention to the defender, but always to the attacker. In fact, it takes more effort to defend than to attack, especially when it comes to keeping an all-around attacker in a truly responsible, undivided manner. Although Zhang Xiaodi's form has declined, his skillful pace and strong body have brought great difficulties to Yang Cong's defense.

Zhang Xiaodi is very tired, and Yang Cong is even more tired.

"Damn! Aren't you awesome? Gentlemen have to look like gentlemen! Liu Junfeng said witty words, but in fact, his face was flushed, panting heavily, and his feet were weak.

"Let's replace Wang Zhiwen." Cheng Fei was about to make a gesture to call a pause, but Yang Cong grabbed his arm.

"Don't!" Yang Cong took a deep breath and said, "Wang Zhiwen will suffer a lot when defending Zhang Xiaodi, and we have a good momentum now, and we are about to overtake." The other party has no chance to pause, and he can't let them breathe, and he must fight to the end in one go! ”

Cheng Fei nodded wordlessly.

"It's up to you!" Yang Cong patted Cheng Fei's shoulder, "Today's buddy is wasted, and he can't make much effort, so he can only play with Zhang Xiaodi." If you don't take on your brother's average of 35 points per game, how can this game be played? You've only scored more than 20 points today, so it's still early! ”

Cheng Fei smiled and gave a thumbs up. The hands of the two are clasped tightly!

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

Cheng Fei rushed forward with the ball, Li Yun and Yang Ji outflanked, but Cheng Fei hit the shot under the cover of Yang Cong's wall!

68:69。 The margin is back to 1 point. Cheng Fei hit consecutive shots, and his hand felt hot!

Zhang Xiaodi was stealed by Yang Cong, and although he grabbed the shot back in time, he still missed!

68:69。 The ball fell into the hands of Ge Liu.

Coach Lu kept shouting something from the sidelines, and the crowd was too loud to hear clearly.

Cheng Fei shook Yang Ji, but was blocked by Du Hui and Li Yun, and the wonderful pass assisted Zhang Yu to shoot and hit!

70:69。 Ge Liu finally achieved a reversal!

Zhang Xiaodi forced a layup and missed, Deng Chang picked up the rebound and hit the follow-up shot!

70:71。 The city No. 1 middle school team is still breathing!

Zhang Xiaodi forced a breakthrough again, and shot with his body out of balance, but still didn't hit, but caused Yang Cong's push foul. It's a pity that the two penalties missed!

Cheng Fei stunned Li Yun with a beautiful crotch dribble, took the opportunity to break through the double defense from Li Yun's side, and made a quick stop jump shot in front of Zhang Xiaodi, hitting it steadily!

72:71。 Since the end of the third quarter, Cheng Fei's shooting has not conceded a single goal!

Li Yun's pass to Zhang Xiaodi was stealed by Liu Junfeng, and with the cooperation of Cheng Fei and Liu Junfeng, a situation of one and two in the front court was formed, and finally Liu Junfeng hit a layup!

74:71。 The margin was stretched to 3 points.

It didn't take long for Yang Ji to shoot near the two-point line and take two points steadily!

Two rounds later, it was Yang Ji again, and then Du Hui's cover layup hit!

Zhang Xiaodi has become an ornament at this time, his hand feeling is extremely bad, and the more anxious he is, the more he can't throw it. And Yang Ji, a defensive expert among the twin stars, actually took on the offensive task with one effort, taking advantage of the opportunity of Yang Cong and Liu Junfeng to defend Zhang Xiaodi, and scored 6 points in one go, becoming the hero of the city's No. 1 Middle School Colonel team without a big score at a critical moment!

However, the center of the audience's attention is still the 12th of Ge Liu!

With two minutes to go, Cheng went all out in the fourth quarter, adding a crucial 19 points to the Rangers on 9-of-10 shooting. It can be said that he completely single-handedly turned the tide and almost 'forced' the defending champion City No. 1 Middle School Colonel to the edge of the cliff!

82:75, 7 points gap, two minutes, the defending champion lives and dies!

Wang Baojiang's face is ruddy, as if he has seen the dawn of winning the Yichang area and stepping into the Central China competition area with the first place!

At this time, Cheng Fei had just caused Yang Ji's foul and wanted to add a free throw. He gasped for air, walked to the free throw line, raised his hand and threw it, but the basketball bounced off the rim of the basket. It doesn't matter if you can't throw this ball, but Cheng Fei suddenly felt a sharp drop in physical strength, and he was too concentrated on his 'spirit' before, so he didn't feel it. In the face of a two-man defense, that crazy attack did consume a lot of physical strength......

At this moment, the referee suddenly blew the whistle.

At the signal of Coach Lu, Zhang Xiaodi, who was obviously exhausted, walked off the field leisurely. It can be seen from the expressions of all the players and coaches of the City No. 1 Middle School team, and from the lamentations of all the spectators-

They are the No. 1 Middle School of Yichang City, which has been proud of Yichang for ten years, and they are finally about to give up......
