Chapter 45: A bad start

On the first day of April, 32 universities will begin to compete for a place in the "Round of 16". For this reason, during their rest time in the past few days, they have arranged their troops to practice tactics against the enemy.

In the gymnasium of Shencheng University, coach Wang Zhongzhong was watching the players practice shooting. The team will take on the challenge of Hecheng University today, and for this reason, he deliberately asked the players to come over early to warm up.

In the past few days, Wang Zhongzhong has come to a conclusion by watching the video of the game that Hecheng University is not as unbearable as he imagined, especially the newcomer named Liu Xiaodong, and it is even more important to focus on prevention.

In addition to the newcomer, center Yanagi can't be ignored, don't look at his bad data in the last game, but the defensive fundamentals he showed and the grasp of offensive timing are all in danger.

Just as Wang Zhongzhong was thinking about the problem, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the entrance of the player's tunnel of the away team, and he looked back and found that it was a player from Hecheng University.

Zhang Tiejun came to Wang Zhongzhong, said a few simple greetings, then turned around and walked to the away team's bench, looking at Liu Mu with a worried expression.

After a few days of training, Yanagi's shooting not only did not improve, but on the contrary, he scored less at the free throw line.

Now Zhang Tiejun hesitated to let Liu Mu start, after all, there was only Liu Mu who defended and did not attack, and his combat effectiveness was not as good as Yu Fei.

The time soon came to half past eight, and the players of the two teams stood at the entrance of their respective players' tunnels and played according to the introduction of the on-site host.

The photographer gave a close-up of the key players of the two teams for the first time, and when Feng Chenyang appeared on the LED display screen above the sports institute hall, it once again caused thunderous applause from the home audience, accompanied by hoarse cheers.

When the camera switched to Liu Mu and Liu Xiaodong, a tsunami-like boos rang out at the scene. This made Liu Xiaodong, who checked and sorted out the equipment, couldn't help but feel that the treatment of the home players was good, when would Hecheng University be able to play in its own stadium!

"Good morning, audience friends! Welcome to watch the sports channel for you to broadcast the college league (32 matches), this game is Shencheng University vs. Hecheng University, the following is to ask Zhang to give you a brief introduction to the situation of the two teams! ”

"Good morning, audience friends! First of all, let's talk about the home team Shencheng University, they are the top 16 last year, they have an advantage in offense, the star player in the team, Feng Chenyang, is a small forward with great potential, his offensive means are very comprehensive, especially good at medium and long-distance shooting! ”

"The away team Hecheng University is obviously in a weak position in comparison, and their small forwards are not good at defense and cannot limit Feng Chenyang's offense." After Zhang Wei finished explaining, looking at the starting list of the two teams in his hand, he couldn't help but stop looking at Liu Xiaodong's name, although he was optimistic about Liu Xiaodong's potential, it did not mean that Hecheng University could cross the huge strength gap.

The starting five tigers of Shencheng University have walked to the court with great momentum, they are: point guard Su Ming, scoring guard Zhuge Yunzhi, small forward Feng Chenyang, big forward Peng Yu, and center Yu Dongcheng.

Hecheng University is still: point guard Guo Cheng, point guard Liu Xiaodong, small forward Qian Ning, power forward Zhu Zihua, center Liu Mu.

In the end, Zhang Tiejun still arranged for Liu Mu to start, after all, except for him, no one could pose a threat to the opponent's center.

As the referee blew the whistle, the basketball was thrown high into the air. In the cheers of the home crowd, the center of Shencheng University won the ball.

Hecheng University fully retreated, and Liu Xiaodong stared closely at the 1.98-meter-tall quarterback in front of him, called Zhuge Yunzhi.

Before the game, Liu Xiaodong learned through the video that Zhuge Yunzhi, an opponent, has more specialties than his name, and if it weren't for his average physical fitness, he would be more dangerous than Feng Chenyang.

Zhuge Yunzhi suddenly started, he didn't want to entangle with Liu Xiaodong, but ran to the other side. But speed was not his advantage, Liu Xiaodong almost didn't have much effort, he chased behind Zhuge Yunzhi, and when he reached the bottom left corner, Liu Xiaodong had already blocked his receiving route.

Seeing that his quarterback had no chance to attack, Su Peng directly passed the ball to captain Feng Chenyang.

Qian Ning wanted to stop the ball, but Feng Chenyang made two consecutive feints and leaned on him.

After Feng Chenyang received the ball, he quickly took two steps back to the three-point line, faced Qian Ning who rushed over, and jumped directly to shoot.

The basketball flew almost against the middle finger of Channing's right hand, and after a graceful arc in the air, it fell straight into the basket. 3 to 0

There was a round of applause from the audience, and they watched the replay on the screen and knew that the difficulty of the ball was very high, especially the grasp of the time had to be accurate, otherwise it would be a cap.

"What a daring artist! If you change the ball, you may choose to pass the ball or look for another opportunity. Zhang Wei looked at Qian Ning with a face full of disbelief and couldn't help but shake his head, some people are just so incomprehensible.

"It's just a dribble, you don't have to worry about it, he won't be so lucky every time! Liu Xiaodong came to Qian Ning's side, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"I know! Go and help Guo Cheng cover! Qian Ning didn't feel funny when he looked at Liu Xiaodong's back, he was actually comforted by his junior.

Guo Cheng controlled the ball and came to the three-point line, but was stopped by Su Ming with open arms. Guo Cheng calmly commanded his teammates to run, without any sense of oppression.

Su Ming knew that this little man had good ball control, so he didn't rush up to steal, but stared at Guo Cheng's ball control to prevent the latter from breaking through.

Liu Xiaodong interspersed the running position to get rid of Zhuge Yunzhi's defense, who knew that this quarterback, who was not very fast, could always arrive in time before he was about to open the vacancy, and let him run a few times in vain.

Qian Ning and Zhu Zihua were also firmly watched by the opposing player, there was no proper opportunity to receive the ball, only Liu Mu under the basket, who could use flexible footsteps to contain Yu Dongcheng with each other.

Guo Cheng also had no offensive opportunity, so he could only hoist the ball high into the inside. Liu Mu hesitated a little after receiving the ball, he was thinking about whether to pass the ball out, but when he saw that his teammates didn't have a good chance, he could only attack hard!

He first relied on Yu Dongcheng to play singles with his back, and when he was about to reach the basket, he turned his back to open up the shooting space and shoot.

Just when Xu Dongcheng was annoyed and thought that the ball would go in, there was a screeching sound, and the basketball popped out of the frame. Yu Dongcheng was overjoyed, quickly stuck his position, and grabbed the defensive rebound.

"It's a shame that the goal didn't go in, Yanagi has already opened up the shooting space, and it seems that he hasn't gotten into the groove yet." Zhang Wei explained with some regret.

Shencheng University attacked, Su Peng waved his hand and asked his teammates to slow down the pace, positional warfare was their forte.

Liu Xiaodong stuck in front of Zhuge Yunzhi and did not let him have a chance to catch the ball. But Su Peng didn't want to pass it to his own quarterback, he directly passed the ball to Feng Chenyang, and let the latter continue to play Qian Ning alone.

Feng Chenyang also lived up to expectations, and after a breakthrough feint, he retreated outside the three-point line and shot again. 6 to 0

Qian Ning looked at Feng Chenyang, who was back in the defensive position, and felt a sense of powerlessness, he was preoccupied with defense just now, and he still blocked the opponent.
