Chapter 138: The Man
"What did he tell you?" Yang Cong ran over and asked in a low voice.
Cheng Fei shook his head, "I don't understand, there is a junior high school student who is very similar to me." ”
"Junior high school students!" Yang Cong was stunned, "He's sarcastic about you?" ”
Cheng Fei smiled: "It shouldn't be, he said that junior high school student is very powerful." ”
Lestar dribbled to the front court and launched the attack of the round. The Varsity Team of Hunan University High School is very cautious in reversing the ball, and it is basically difficult to give the opponent a chance to steal, plus they are very tall, standing there is like a few pillars, and the Rangers are just monkeys climbing on the pillars!
Zhang Pingya looked at it, said "hmm", took out the tactical board again, and wrote and drew on it.
In this round, Kang Jianhua didn't shoot, grabbed the rebound and threw it to the periphery, but Tang Xiankai's turn shot didn't hit, but caused a long rebound, which was taken by Zhang Yulai. The score is still 8:4.
Cheng Fei suddenly entered the front court, and suddenly his right arm was raised, and the basketball flew into the hands of Yang Cong, who arrived at the horse. The athletic trio of Li Star, Liu Siyu and Kimchi flanked from both sides of the front court!
Yang Cong coldly glanced at Kimchi who pounced, and his steps started abruptly, and at the same time as he started a step, his body suddenly struck again, and he had already collected the ball. Kimchi did not expect this breakthrough to be a feint, hurriedly adjusted the center of gravity, and blocked the opponent's shot again, however, Yang Cong's shot was still a feint, his arm was retracted, from under Kimchi's armpit, the ball was thrown up!
At this time, above the basket, there is an open space!
A fierce general was killed in the oblique stab, Li Star was paying attention to Cheng Fei wholeheartedly, and after Cheng Fei passed the ball, he also pulled out and ran near the three-point line, Li Star wanted to take care of the basket at this time!
Deng Liang, who was fed up with sulking in the confrontation with Kang Jianhua, bit his cheeks, quickly stepped into ***, and rose into the air!
It turned out that Yang Cong had already seen Deng Liang out of the corner of his eye before starting the breakthrough.
"Oops!" Kimchi turned around and saw Deng Liang squatting down, and then spraying with extremely strong explosive force!
He grabbed the ball with both hands in the air and poured it down into the basket fiercely, accompanied by a scream!
"Yikes!" "Click!"
Deng Liang grabbed the arm of the basket and retracted it, and his whole body almost flew up, parallel to the rebound! As soon as he let go, he fell straight to the ground and swung his fist hard! The sullenness that has been suppressed by the other party is vented in this buckle!
"Good!" The Rangers on and off the field cheered.
"Their weakness *** is out!" Yu Yang said excitedly, "You see, Kang Jianhua, who is opposite Deng Liang, has just passed half time, and they can't form a complete defensive formation in front of a fast opponent!" ”
Wang Baojiang nodded: "They rely on three faster players to defend. Especially Kimchi and Listar, Kimchi's athletic ability is very strong, plus the height advantage, can cause a lot of interference; And Lestar, I don't think this player is simple, he has a lot of experience......"
"Let's see if we need to call a timeout," Zhang Pingya said, "and the offense seems to be starting to get a little bit better." ”
While speaking, Kang Jianhua scored a goal on Deng Liang's head.
"Hurry back to defense!" Li Starr shouted and ran back, followed by two players, Kimchi and Liu Siyu. At this time, the orange-red 'color' whirlwind had already blown, Wang Zhiwen skillfully ran with the ball, and the Rangers started with five tigers all rushed through the midfield at the fastest speed!
"Cheng Fei!" Wang Zhiwen shouted in his mouth, the ball has been passed out!
Liu Siyu paused, and quickly pounced towards Cheng Fei, stretching out his arms, tightly sealing the route that Cheng Fei might break through and shoot. But he didn't expect that after the ball touched Cheng Fei's palm, it would directly change direction!
"What!" Liu Siyu was taken aback, and when he looked back, Yang Cong happened to run to the position of the basketball pass, took the ball, took two steps, and flew up!
There wasn't even a second of pause! Li Star saw clearly, Cheng Fei directly used his fingers to pluck the basketball at the moment of receiving the ball, changing the direction of the basketball's flight, and the precious time saved made Liu Siyu have no chance to react at all! This is exactly the same as the passing that Xu Jian was good at at at that time!
Yang Cong kicked the ground with his left foot and soared into the air, which turned out to be a violent posture!
But what was even more surprising was Kimchi, in such a short time, he actually twisted his body and jumped up. That height of 1.92 meters, combined with the terrifying bouncing power, made him almost like a moving mountain. Yang Cong is a helicopter that climbs the mountainside!
No way! He's too tall! Yang Cong originally wanted to end the attack directly with a dunk, but Kimchi's body once again made Yang Cong dispel this idea, if he forcibly dunked, he would be brutally blocked!
In mid-air, Yang Cong hurriedly "snapped" and took the basketball back into his hands, but at this time he had no way out......
Cheng Fei flashed Liu Siyu and suddenly appeared on the right side of the half, and Yang Cong barely pushed the ball out before he landed!
"Beware!" Yu Yang couldn't help but shout, because Liu Siyu pounced forward again, and he was about to snatch this ball!
Cheng Fei took a big step forward, his palm seemed to suck the basketball silently, and he leaned over to tuck his abdomen, as if he was about to jump and shoot. At the same time, Kimchi and Yang Cong landed at the same time, showing Kimchi terrifying continuous jumping ability, he stared at Cheng Fei, who was only two meters away from him, and was about to jump......
The basketball spun in Cheng Fei's palm, then suddenly changed direction and 'shot' straight to the free throw line!
Everyone looked there, because Cheng Fei's passing speed was too fast and too powerful, Zhang Yulai, who had just run there, didn't catch it for the first time, and the basketball fell to the ground!
This is an almost completely empty pawn.
Li Star's secret scream is not good, and rushed straight over!
"Cast!" With Cheng Fei's roar, Zhang Yulai adjusted his gestures and rose from the ground. At the same time, Li Star also screamed and killed from the oblique stab, but Zhang Yulai's shooting arm was back, and he slapped it over, and it was empty!
The basketball flew out of Zhang Yulai's hand and fell directly into the net!
"Good shot!" Deng Liang ran over and slapped Zhang Yulai's *** fiercely!
"Don't hesitate to shoot!" Cheng Fei ran over and said, "As soon as there is a vacancy, we will shoot, we will try to shoot outside the two-point line, everyone must be ready to shoot at any time!" ”
"You've got a way to deal with them?" Yang Cong asked.
Cheng Fei was silent for a moment and said, "In terms of offense, this kind of fight will be more effective. If we can launch a fast break and break through their block, then we can take an inside attack; If that doesn't work, pass the ball quickly and break them down with mid-to-long-range shots. They only have one Listar on the outside, and the others are mainly on the inside. ”
"No wonder!" Yang Cong shook his head, "We are too used to breaking through to the basket, but instead they are on the way of interior defense." ”
"We tear their defense apart with long-range shots," Cheng Fei said lightly, "and then we can seize the opportunity and use the familiar way to play inside offense and give them a fatal blow!" ”
Yang Cong looked at the opponent who was slowly pressing over, then looked at Cheng Fei, and said with a smile: "Playing with these giants, it feels 'quite' interesting, it depends on how we play." ”
Cheng Fei smiled, "Interesting is interesting, but how to defend their offense is really a problem!" ”
After Li Star advanced to the frontcourt, the team of the High School Affiliated to Hunan University once again launched their usual offensive method, pouring the ball to the inside, and then Kang Jianhua attacked directly under the basket. Deng Liang still didn't have the possibility of 'sex' to prevent it, and the score was pulled away again.
The Rangers started out with a fast attack, and they faced tall and slower opponents, so their agile play had the upper hand. However, with the growth of ball skills and the mature 'sexual' style of play brought by Cheng Fei, the Rangers gradually slowed down their rhythm and became accustomed to maneuvering around the position. Attacking with positions is a way to contain many teams that are faster than the Rangers more efficiently.
Today's battle with the giants once again put the fast attack on the table.
The two sides played to their respective strengths, and in the first quarter they fought in the dark, one moment it was a slow positional attack, and the other was a breathless whirlwind. As Cheng Fei expected, their rapid transfer of the ball in the front court made the High School Affiliated to Hunan University at a loss, and frequently leaked people!
Cheng Fei made 2 of 2 shots and scored 4 points; Yang Cong made 2 of 4 shots and scored 4 points; Zhang Yulai was the hero of the first quarter of the Rangers, he shot 5 of 6 and scored 10 points in a single quarter!
However, they were unable to cope with the tank attack of the Hunan University High School, and at the end of the first quarter, the score was still tied at 22:27, and the Hunan University High School led by 5 points.
***********************
"I apologize for what I said." During the break after the first quarter of the game, Zhang Pingya said with a smile, "To be honest, when I saw the players from the High School Attached to Hunan University, I felt 'very' desperate. Their playing style is mature and they have an absolute advantage in height, and I said to Mr. Wang at the time, you can't adapt to the psychological barriers of dealing with tall players in a short period of time. I'll admit I'm surprised how quickly you guys got used to it! ”
Cheng Fei and Yang Cong looked at each other and smiled, they played for 10 minutes, but they were physically good, because they didn't need physical confrontation in the attack, so they had enough physical strength. "It's not that we're adapting," Cheng Fei said, "since we can't beat it, just avoid it, and there is no problem facing tall players wherever we finish shooting." ”
Zhang Pingya patted Cheng Fei on the shoulder, "You did the right thing, quickly moving the ball and choosing medium and long-distance shots, which requires very skillful cooperation and very 'fine' scoring points, which is also your advantage." I'm going to talk to you now about the defense. ”
Cheng Fei opened his mouth to speak, but Zhang Pingya raised his hand and interrupted Cheng Fei's words.
"I know, in order to ensure the efficiency of the offense, I chose to give up the defense, right?" Zhang Pingya's gaze swept over the rangers, and at that moment, Cheng Fei almost thought that Old Man Zhang was looking at them, "The other party's efficiency on the offensive end is almost 100 percent, which is very deadly!" ”
Wang Baojiang nodded in agreement: "Shooting requires touch, even if they can't put pressure on you, you can't score every ball." And as soon as this one is out, the gap between the two sides will widen, and if it continues to play like this, the score may not be able to catch up! ”
"I know!" Zhang Pingya kindly held Cheng Fei and Deng Liang's shoulders and said, "It's a very hard thing to defend tall players, and I know better than you. But I also know one thing, that is, while you are working hard, the other person is also working hard, and even more. A tall player consumes more power than a normal person, and every time you stop him, you can deduct a portion of his power......"
"Also," Zhang Pingya continued, "they have a big weakness in attack! ”
The Rangers' eyes widened. Wang Baojiang thought to himself, he is worthy of being a coach from the United States, and he can see what we can't see. To say that the high school team attached to Hunan University has weaknesses in defense, it is clear; But their attacking tactics are very mature, concise and effective, and it is difficult to see any weaknesses. Even if there were, it wasn't something that the Rangers could exploit.
"This kind of standing pile style of play is very popular in the domestic professional basketball world," Zhang Pingya said with a frown, "There is no such style of play in the United States." Their weakness lies in their reliance on height advantage. It's good to take advantage of your body, but it's problematic to rely too much. When they pass the ball, they are all passive and rarely run, and there are always a few fixed lines......"
Zhang Pingya took out the tactical board and gestured with a pen.
"This style of play is used when the center is blocked, and the passing line is like this." Zhang Pingya said while drawing, "There is also a line that attacks directly from the center...... Deng Liang pay attention to the fact that when defending the opponent's center, you must use the front line! ”
"Circumambulation?" Deng Liang was stunned.
"Going around the front is the basic way to defend the tall center," Zhang Pingya said, "not only Deng Liang is defending around the front, but all of you except those who defend the outside line use the front to completely block their passing lines and force them to run." And the line they run, I pointed it out to you, when you steal, you have to be ruthless and accurate! ”
Cheng Fei looked at the lines on the tactical board and sighed. In just one quarter, Zhang Pingya not only found the opponent's weaknesses, but also dug out the opponent's passing and running routines!
"It's okay if you can't remember for a while, mainly pay attention to the movement of the ball carrier, no matter how your defending players run, remember to always go around." Zhang Pingya put on the pen sleeve and said with a smile, "It's time for you to play!" ”
********************
In the second quarter, the game was a bit 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'.
Zhang Yulai's hand suddenly felt cold, and he only relied on Cheng Fei and Yang Cong's medium and long range shots to maintain the situation; The method of going around the front was very effective, and the colonel team of the High School Affiliated to Hunan University was actually attacked three times in a row, and the offensive rhythm was completely 'disrupted'. The two sides fought for ten minutes, and finally 'handed in' the answer sheet with 40:39, and the Rangers got a one-point lead!
At halftime, Zhang Pingya patiently explained the opponent's offensive play to the Rangers, pointing out the key points of cutting off the opponent's passing line and curbing the running route. It was the first time for the Rangers to hear such a professional analysis, Zhang Pingya was like a cook who solved the cow, showing a seemingly ordinary game with lines and data, which was clear at a glance.
In the third quarter of the game, Cheng Fei, Yang Cong, and Zhang Yulai came to rest, and Liu Junfeng, Li Lin, and Chen Jie went out in armor.
As soon as Liu Junfeng came on the court, he successfully stole the ball passed by Li Star to Kimchi, and caused a staggering 5 steals in the entire third quarter. And Li Lin, the three-point king of the inside, added a valuable 6 points to the Rangers with a high shooting rate of 2 of 3 shots!
The playing style of the high school team attached to Hunan University has encountered an unprecedented threat, and every pass and run they make seems to be expected by the other side. Sometimes, before they even start running or passing, the Ranger is already in the right position!
This completely 'messed' up their position.
The third quarter ended with 60:53, and the Rangers' advantage extended to as many as seven points!
At the start of the fourth quarter, the Rangers returned to their main forces. Li Star's performance was extremely tenacious, first single-handedly Cheng Fei and then hit a three-pointer. With all his teammates in a state of low 'confusion', Li Star, as the captain, shouldered the offensive task alone, and only stared at Cheng Fei alone.
However, Yang Cong regained his power in the final quarter, first hitting two balls from a step inside the three-point line, and then splitting *** to score four points with two thunderbolt layups.
Cheng Fei's performance in the final quarter was still amazing, although he only scored 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting, he delivered as many as 7 assists and became the first hero of the Rangers!
The final whistle blew, and Gezhouba No. 6 Middle School defeated the high school team affiliated to Hunan University 84:76!
Cheng Fei scored 21 points, 15 assists, and 2 steals and 1 block; Yang Cong had 27 points, 3 assists, and 4 steals; Zhang Yulai had 15 points and 3 rebounds, Wang Zhiwen had 6 points and 3 assists, and Liu Junfeng, Li Lin, Chen Jie and Deng Liang all scored. This is the first time in the history of the Rangers that all eight men have scored.
The second round was over, but there was not much joy and excitement. From now on, the real evil battles will follow, and the responsibilities and hardships of the Rangers will become heavier and heavier.
The players of the high school team attached to Hunan University were quietly packing up their things, and Cheng Fei was also talking and laughing with his brothers, when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was Li Star.
"Congratulations!" Li Starr smiled and shook hands with Cheng Fei.
"Thank you!"
"You're playing well and hope to see you again next year." Li Star sincerely shook Cheng Fei's hand, turned around and walked away.
"Wait a minute," Cheng Fei called out to him, "Who is that person you are talking about?" ”
Li Star turned his head with a smile on his face: "I don't know, but someone told me that that person is also coming to the national league this year." I thought it was you, but now it looks like you've mistaken someone. All in all, good luck ......"
