Chapter 8: Scare Coach
"It seems that our future star hasn't fully mastered the correct shooting posture, and I think he needs to practice more diligently after the game!" Liu Qiliang couldn't help but laugh and explained.
The bottom line of the University of Chemical Technology served, Yang Ming dribbled to the three-point line two steps before standing, Li Yan stepped forward to cover, his mid-range shot was much more accurate than Wang Xiaoli, and Wu Jiangtao cut the position to look for offensive opportunities.
Although Liu Xiaodong is very fast, Wu Jiangtao uses his experience to always use feints to deceive Liu Xiaodong when he is in place.
As long as there is no one in front of Wu Jiangtao to defend, the point guard will not hesitate to pass the ball over, even if he has no touch, his teammates will feed the ball to help him find his touch, because he is the sharpest sword in the team!
Wu Jiangtao received the ball and rushed to the penalty area, he wanted to let the opponent know that he would not only shoot the basketball! Yu Fei, the substitute center under the basket, saw Wu Jiangtao jump, and he also jumped quickly, wanting to stop the ball in the air.
Wu Jiangtao looked at the tall and long-arm figure in front of him without any pause, he was very confident that these arms like bamboo poles would not be able to stop him from dunking.
Just when Wu Jiangtao thought that the dunk was about to succeed, a force came from his right hand, and there was a loud bang, and before Wu Jiangtao could react, the basketball was already slipped in the air by Liu Xiaodong, who flew out fiercely.
"Oh my God, Liu Xiaodong was still at the free throw line just now, and he jumped up in one step, higher than Yu Fei who jumped under the basket! This bouncing and airborne ability is too terrifying! Liu Qiliang was very surprised and explained, he had heard of Liu Xiaodong's outstanding talent a long time ago, otherwise he would not have the nickname of "Future Star", but he didn't expect that at such an age, he would have such a demonic bounce!
Wu Jiangtao received the bottom corner serve, and Liu Xiaodong stepped forward to defend, not giving the opponent any chance to break through. Wu Jiangtao made a simple feint, and when he saw that he couldn't deceive Liu Xiaodong, he passed the ball out like a deflated ball, and he hadn't come out of the frustration just now.
Yang Ming controlled the ball and came to the outside to reorganize the attack, and saw Zhang Qi, who had just come back from rest, stretched out his hand to ask for the ball, he pretended to break through to attract the defense, and passed the ball over, the latter received the ball and threw it out with slight adjustments, and the ball smashed on the edge of the basket and bounced away.
Liu Xiaodong bypassed Qin Yue, who replaced Wu Jiangtao, and when Yu Fei and Li Yan were competing for a favorable position, he put the ball in his arms.
"Pass!" Tian Bin, the point guard who came off the bench, reached out to ask for the ball and also observed Zheng Kai, who retreated to the middle line.
Liu Xiaodong controlled the ball very well, but when he heard Tian Bin asking for the ball, he still passed it without hesitation, because he knew that this 1.85-meter-level point guard was no worse than him in dribbling skills.
As soon as Liu Xiaodong left the ball, he quickly rushed to the halfcourt. Qin Yue quickly opened his arms and intercepted in front of Liu Xiaodong.
Liu Xiaodong, who was not bound by basketball, ran wild like a wild horse, and at the moment when he was about to hit Qin Yue, he suddenly stopped and turned to the right.
Before Qin Yue, who had been passed, had time to react defensively, he saw the basketball slashed overhead. Liu Xiaodong's legs slammed into force, his body rose into the air, and his right hand caught the ball when the basketball fell to the edge of the rebound, and Zhang Qi, who retreated to the basket, was about to dunk.
"Don't you think about it!" The angry Zhang Qi jumped up on the spot and straightened his short and thick right arm, wanting to teach this whimsical newcomer a painful lesson!
On the home team's seats, Liu Xiaodong's teammates all subconsciously stood up, and Liu Mu and Guo Cheng pinched a cold sweat for Liu Xiaodong, they knew that this 1.94-meter-short small forward in the same city also had a hobby of throwing shot put on the defensive end!
Zhang Tiejun was also nervous, if it wasn't too late to call a timeout now, he would have stopped this matchup that might ruin Liu Xiaodong's entire basketball career.
Liu Xiaodong has played three high school seasons, and he has some experience, so he can't use his weaknesses to go head-to-head with this stupid guy in front of him!
Before Zhang Qi's arm was about to touch him, he suddenly held the ball with both hands and pulled down, dodging Zhang Qi's powerful right arm at the same time, his body was also drifting sharply to the left side, before his left foot was about to land, his waist and abdomen rose violently, holding the ball with both hands and picking it up behind him, and after the basketball came off his hand, he flew lightly to the upper edge of the basket, bumped twice and fell into the basket.
The gymnasium was boiling, and more than 5,000 students cheered for Liu Xiaodong's "dunk for lever layup" with deafening shouts!
The players of Hecheng University were excitedly waving their fists at Liu Xiaodong on the sidelines, and Qian Ning, who had just come off the break, made a bow and worship action, only Liu Mu, Guo Cheng and head coach Zhang Tiejun were wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads.
On the commentary seat, Liu Qiliang said worriedly: "It is surprising that Liu Xiaodong can make movements similar to Maddie at such a young age, but it is still necessary to pay attention to the protection of the body, and it is best not to try this dangerous action easily!" ”
Liu Xiaodong didn't hear the voice of the commentary, if he heard it, he must have agreed, for the goal just now, his calf is still faintly sore.
Li Jiacheng, the head coach of the University of Chemical Technology, looked at Liu Xiaodong on the field with a dark green greedy gaze in his eyes, and he felt that if he could get Liu Xiaodong and Wu Jiangtao to form a backcourt twin star, the University of Chemical Technology was very likely to represent Hecheng and the provincial strong team for the first time in history, and even advance to the "divisional competition".
But then he looked at the home team's seat and couldn't help but leave this unrealistic idea behind.
The University of Chemical Technology served, Yang Ming, who came back from the break, dribbled to the three-point line, and Zheng Kai stepped forward to cover. Yang Ming, who used the block to break to the free throw line, was stopped by Yu Fei, and he could only pass the ball to Qin Yue on the outside.
Qin Yue wanted to prove that he was no worse than captain Wu Jiangtao, he dribbled and feints, and after attracting Liu Xiaodong's center of gravity, he stopped his hand urgently.
Liu Xiaodong quickly chased and jumped, although he didn't touch the basketball, but it also caused some psychological impact on Qin Yue. Qin Yue's shot was a little fast, and the arc of the ball's flight was visible to the naked eye towards the edge of the basket.
Liu Xiaodong rushed to the right and grabbed the rebound in the front court before Li Yan reached the basketball landing point. Tian Bin quickly ran over to catch the ball, and Hecheng University fully converted into an offensive situation.
In the away team's seat, coach Li Jiacheng called a timeout and replaced Wu Jiangtao and Wang Xiaoli, the starting center who had been reflecting for a long time. On the home team's side, Coach Zhang Tiejun also took the opportunity to replace Liu Xiaodong and a group of substitutes to rest.
Guo Cheng, who returned to the game, strictly implemented the coach's tactical arrangement, reached out to let Zhu Zihua come over to block and dismantle, and passed the ball into the inner line.
