Chapter 56: Defensive Suppression
At the beginning of the game, Yanagi jumped the ball to win Kong Xianglong, and Hecheng University began to attack. Guo Cheng took the ball across the half court, and according to the coach's tactical arrangement, he reached out and called his teammates to come over to block the demolition.
Zheng Tao was blocked by Zhou Jie, who came up, and Lu Peng quickly switched to Guo Cheng, who saw that there was no vacant opportunity, and immediately passed the ball to Liu Xiaodong, who came over.
Watching Luo Teng defend himself, Liu Xiaodong quickly slapped the ball, looking for an offensive opportunity. Luo Teng knew that his speed was not dominant, so he didn't plan to leave Liu Xiaodong any room to start.
"Rookie, that's the end of your attack!" Luo Teng spread his arms and firmly blocked Liu Xiaodong's offensive line.
"You're less of a stinking fart!" While Liu Xiaodong ridiculed each other, his body was not idle, and he continued to test Luo Teng with feints, hoping to trick Luo Teng into revealing his defensive flaws.
"Humph!" Luo Teng didn't talk nonsense anymore, but stared at Liu Xiaodong's hand movements with his eyes.
Liu Xiaodong looked up at the attack time and stretched out his hand to call his teammates to block and dismantle. Liu Mu got rid of Kong Xianglong's entanglement and ran towards Liu Xiaodong.
Luo Teng was prepared, and at the moment when Liu Xiaodong started, he decisively stretched out his right hand to grab the basketball.
"Mistaken!" This was Liu Xiaodong's first reaction, he turned his head and saw Luo Teng running towards the halfcourt, and he didn't have time to think about it, and quickly chased after the opponent.
Although Luo Teng's speed is not as fast as Liu Xiaodong, he is also an excellent presence among the guards, and he threw Guo Cheng, who was the fastest in Hecheng University's defense, and rushed straight into the three-second zone. Facing the empty basket, Luo Teng made a quick layup, so that Liu Xiaodong behind him could only look at the ball and regret it.
"Rookie, you want to cover my ball, it's still far away!" After Luo Teng finished speaking, he laughed and ran to his teammates to celebrate, leaving Liu Xiaodong, who was full of anger, standing in place.
"Coach Zhang, this is the reason why I think Hecheng University will lose, the difference in their strength is too obvious. Even if Liu Xiaodong has good talent, he is not his opponent in the face of the experienced Luo Teng, and he will have to work hard for a few years! Huang Guanyong said proudly.
"It's too early to talk about winning or losing, let's watch the game first!" Zhang Wei didn't defend himself, and through this ball, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
"Don't care!" Guo Cheng patted Liu Xiaodong on the shoulder to show comfort, and then received the baseline serve and advanced to the half.
Liu Xiaodong quickly ran across the halfcourt, continued to run back, and finally shook off Luo Teng, and received Guo Cheng's pass on the right side of the free throw line.
Luo Teng looked at the basketball that crossed the sky and was a little depressed, he was actually thrown away by a rookie, and he also got a great opportunity to vacate the space.
Just when the whole court thought that the basketball would go in, the basketball smashed on the edge of the basket and made a piercing clang.
Seeing the opposing center grab the defensive rebound, Liu Xiaodong was very annoyed, he actually missed the shot at such a close distance, which was very unacceptable to Liu Xiaodong, who was eager to get back on the court.
"Rookie, your shooting is terrible!" After ridiculing Liu Xiaodong, Luo Teng quickly ran to a forty-five-degree angle to ask for the ball, looking at his smug face, he wanted to teach Liu Xiaodong a lesson.
Liu Xiaodong was very angry, he did not hesitate to stick to Luo Teng's body, and his face was almost attached to the opponent's face.
"Rookie, you can't stop me! Just like the last round! Luo Teng continued to spew trash talk to Liu Xiaodong, he just wanted to completely anger his opponent and let this annoying rookie know how serious the consequences of provoking himself were!
"Your mouth can stink more!" While Liu Xiaodong spoke, his right hand stretched out to Luo Teng's right hand to dribble.
Luo Teng took a step back, raised his right hand outward, and a pained look appeared on his face.
The referee immediately blew the whistle for a foul on the thug, formed a palm with his left hand, made a fist with his right hand, and placed his left palm erect at the wrist of his right hand.
Liu Xiaodong raised his hand to admit punishment, and he did hit Luo Teng's wrist when he made a steal.
Xicheng University sent the sideline ball, Zheng Tao only dribbled twice, and then passed the ball to Luo Teng, so that the latter could match Liu Xiaodong again.
After receiving the ball, Luo Teng pretended to break through, tricking Liu Xiaodong into taking a step back, and he jumped directly. The basketball flew over Liu Xiaodong, who rushed forward, and flew steadily into the basket.
The scene suddenly burst into warm applause and somewhat noisy shouts, as well as whistles from time to time.
After that, Hecheng University attacked, the players didn't seem to be in the state, Liu Mu was entangled by Kong Xianglong, Zhou Jie failed to beat twice on the inside, and Qian Ning on the outside threw a three-way shot in the bottom corner.
On the other hand, Westgate University, the offense is getting better and better, they know how to use their own advantages, break through the ball, create opportunities for their teammates, and have an efficient shooting rate inside and outside.
The diversified offense of Xicheng University made the players of Hecheng University who did not adapt to it tired to cope, and the defensive tactics formulated before the game did not play a good effect.
In 3 minutes and 58 seconds into the game, Hecheng University was already 6-15, 12 points behind Xicheng University.
Among them, there are 8 points, which Luo Teng got from Liu Xiaodong. And Liu Xiaodong, who was already angry, didn't get a point.
Off the field, Zhang Tiejun was already restless, he knew before the game that this was a tough battle, but he didn't expect that the opponent's offensive and defensive ends were even better than expected, so that the spear and shield in his hand lost their color!
Zhang Tiejun called a pause, looking at Liu Xiaodong who walked over with a sweaty face, he really wanted to let this beloved disciple take a break. But Zhang Tiejun knows that Liu Xiaodong is the sharpest spear in the team, and his potential must be stimulated in order to have any hope of winning this game with a huge disparity in strength.
"Xiaodong, you have to remember to me that Luo Teng is not your opponent! He's no match for you at all! Your current predicament is completely caused by your lack of calmness, if you want to win, you have to find out the weaknesses of your opponents! ”
"Zhou Jie, you have a rest first, Zhu Zihua, you have to be responsible for keeping an eye on the opponent's big forward, don't let him attack unscrupulously!"
"Yes!" Zhu Zihua had been holding back for a long time off the field, and finally waited for the coach's call, and he was very excited.
"Sun..."Zhang Tiejun hesitated for a moment, but still didn't replace Qian Ning, who had a bad hand, he knew that Sun Yangyang's mentality was problematic, and in the face of such an intense defense, he would definitely encounter a lot of trouble.
"The other positions remain the same, the inside line should cover the outside line more, especially for Xiaodong, Zhu Zihua, you have to come out more!"
"Yes!" Zhu Zihua has no dissatisfaction, he is a player who is good at defense, if the coach needs him, he will score on the inside, and now the coach asks him to block and dismantle the junior, and he will fully execute.
Zhang Tiejun also considered letting the physically energetic Zhu Zihua attack, but Xicheng University's interior defensive ability is not weak, and the offensive advantage of his own big forward is not obvious.
Therefore, Zhang Tiejun asked Liu Xiaodong to be in charge of the main attack, not because he was partial, but out of helplessness, and at the same time, he also had expectations for Liu Xiaodong!
