Chapter 5 Intra-team drills

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, and the sun hanging in the east wanted to bring a trace of warmth to the pedestrians on the road, but it was blown away by the cold northwest wind.

Compared with the cold outside, it is a hot scene in the gymnasium of Hecheng University.

"Pick-and-roll tactics! Pick-and-roll tactics! Zhang Tiejun waved and shouted from the sidelines. The pick-and-roll tactics were one of the offensive tactics developed for Yanagi last season.

Guo Cheng is a level-headed backcourt commander who dribbles the ball near the three-point line and beckons center Yanagi to come to cover, Guo Cheng uses the cover to burst in front of the free throw line, ready to pass the ball horizontally or to the ground to Yanagi.

Because Liu Mu stepped forward to cover, Yu Fei, the center of the substitute team defending Liu Mu, had no choice but to follow, and Liu Mu completed the dismantling and quickly ran to the basket.

Guo Cheng's just right pass made Liu Mu very comfortable, and at the same time destroyed the defensive formation of the substitute team.

Guo Cheng used a ground-hitting pass, making it difficult for substitute center Yu Fei to bend down to intercept.

Yanagi received the ball and faced the empty basket, slammed his legs hard, and dunked the ball into the basket.

Taking into account the two pitchers on the periphery of the main team, small forward Qian Ning and scoring guard Hou Wei. The substitute players did not dare to come forward to help the defense, which was such a simple blocking and dismantling tactic, which made the defense of the substitute team seem to be a void.

Guo Cheng, the starting point guard at Hecheng University, is staring intently at the short-haired genius in front of him. After a semester of training, he already knows Liu Xiaodong's offensive characteristics.

He took a step back to the three-point line and let Liu Xiaodong shoot in the open position to prevent Liu Xiaodong from breaking through, which he thought was the best defense for Liu Xiaodong.

Liu Xiaodong played for the bench team, and he not only scored a single point on the field, but also was responsible for the offensive command of the substitute team.

Coach Zhang Tiejun is using Liu Xiaodong as the sixth person. He originally wanted to arrange for Liu Xiaodong to train with the starting team, but out of consideration for Liu Xiaodong's poor shooting, he still decided to put Liu Xiaodong on the bench team and let Liu Xiaodong temporarily serve as a point guard.

Liu Xiaodong didn't choose to shoot, he knew Guo Cheng's defensive ability, and it was up to team strength to score the ball.

Liu Xiaodong stretched out his hand and made a blocking and dismantling action. Yu Fei, the substitute center who had just been bullied by Liu Mu, quickly rushed over, and Liu Xiaodong broke through!

Guo Cheng immediately moved sideways, wanting to block Liu Xiaodong's breakthrough route.

When Guo Cheng was about to boast about his steps, Yu Fei came to the side of his body and used his tall and thin body to stop his next defensive move.

Liu Xiaodong burst into the penalty area and pretended to shoot, and after attracting Qian Ning's co-defense, he hit the ball to the ground and passed to Sun Yangyang, a substitute small forward who ran to the bottom corner.

Although Sun Yangyang's long-range shooting is unstable, he doesn't want to waste the opportunity to shoot in the open position.

Sun Yangyang had a determined look on his face, adjusted his shooting posture, and threw the ball out with soft power. The basketball makes a graceful arc in the air and then falls steadily into the hoop.

"Yangyang, good vote!" Zhang Tiejun applauded and shouted from the sidelines. He knew that the credit for this ball should be given to Liu Xiaodong, but Sun Yangyang's mentality was too weak, and he needed encouragement more than Liu Xiaodong's little bastard!

"Well done! I knew you'd give me an assist stat! Liu Xiaodong ran to Sun Yangyang and said with a high-five.

"Our future star is a talented leader!" Guo Cheng looked at Liu Xiaodong and quipped to Liu Mu.

"yes, I think he's more talented than me now." Liu Mu said seriously. He has been with the coach for three years, and he has never seen the coach treat the freshman as attentively as Liu Xiaodong, including him, the "No. 1 center in the province".

Guo Cheng didn't know how to answer, but he also knew in his heart that the coach arranged Liu Xiaodong to serve as the point guard of the substitute team in order to exercise Liu Xiaodong's leadership ability. Thinking of this, the senior point guard couldn't help but think of the past when he first entered the school, and secretly felt sad.

"What are you doing?" A roar from the sidelines interrupted the memories of Liu Mu and Guo Cheng.

"Serve, the coach is mad!" Guo Cheng whispered to Liu Mu who was standing on the bottom line.

As soon as Guo Cheng controlled the ball at half time, he began to direct the starters to run. Liu Mu quickly flew around and rushed towards the forbidden area.

In the face of the assistance defense of the substitute team's big forward Zhou Jie, Liu Mu did not choose to play strongly. He first made a shooting feint, and after deceiving Zhou Jie, he accelerated to the basket and dunked the ball into the basket without defense.

Liu Xiaodong received the bottom line serve and pushed steadily through the half. Guo Cheng didn't wait for Liu Xiaodong to come to the three-point line, so he stepped forward to defend closely, he didn't want to give Liu Xiaodong any more opportunity to organize the offense.

Zhang Tiejun saw Guo Cheng's serious defensive attitude and smiled with satisfaction, he wanted to know how Liu Xiaodong would perform in the face of Guo Cheng's "kraft candy" defense?

"What should I do?" Liu Xiaodong was in possession of the ball while thinking about countermeasures. The coach didn't give him any tactics, he knew it was the coach who was testing himself to prepare for the college league.

"Be calm, be calm..."Liu Xiaodong kept meditating while his eyes were constantly observing the form on the field.

On the right side of Liu Xiaodong's nearest, Sun Yangyang was taken around by Qian Ning to defend in front, firmly blocking Sun Yangyang behind him to prevent him from receiving the ball, and he could help defend Liu Xiaodong more quickly.

Liu Xiaodong did not break through to the right, but made a disguised feint to the left, and passed the ball to the substitute quarterback Wu Lei.

The moment the ball left his hand, Liu Xiaodong began to run back, and he wanted to get rid of Guo Cheng's entanglement.

Wu Lei received the pass without pausing, and directly dribbled to the middle line to break through.

Hou Wei is not a vegetarian, he quickly moved sideways to the left, and defended with open arms.

Seeing that Hou Wei was blocking in front of him, blocking his breakthrough route, Wu Lei passed the ball to the right during the march!

Liu Xiaodong used Yu Fei's blocking to get rid of Guo Cheng's entanglement and ran to the right corner to catch the ball.

Faced with an open three-point opportunity, Liu Xiaodong did not hesitate and raised the ball above his head to throw.

After the basketball crossed a standard arc, it still smashed on the edge of the basket and bounced. Yanagi jammed his position and snatched the falling basketball.

Liu Xiaodong still didn't score, his shooting posture was standard, but the crosshairs were not satisfactory.

In the ensuing game, Yanagi showed his all-round skills, dunked with his back to the restricted area, and pulled to the middle range to shoot. His ability to be the No. 1 center forward in the province was vividly interpreted in the second half of the training match.

In the end, the main team defeated the substitute team by a huge advantage of 40 points.

After the afternoon basic training, the players left one after another. Liu Xiaodong didn't leave, but found the coach and expressed his idea of staying to practice shooting.

Zhang Tiejun agreed with a smile. While he came to the basket to help Liu Xiaodong pick up the ball, he also kept correcting the problems that Liu Xiaodong had when shooting...
