Chapter 16: I'm going to Defeat You!
"Coach, I'm going to go on the court to beat Wang Zekai!" Liu Xiaodong saw that Zhang Tiejun didn't speak, so he said in an accentuated tone. Not only Zhang Tiejun was stunned, but even Hou Wei, who had just said that he was tired, was stunned, he looked at Liu Xiaodong in disbelief, is this still the same decadent Liu Xiaodong as himself?
"Okay, you get ready." Zhang Tiejun came back to his senses and smiled happily, he had just been splashed with a basin of cold water by Hou Wei, but he didn't expect Liu Xiaodong to bring him a flame when he turned around.
The game started anew, Zhang Tiejun Yongfei and Liu Xiaodong replaced Liu Mu and Hou Wei, and Guo Cheng continued to stay on the court to press the formation.
On the side of the University of Petroleum, Li Zijiang replaced Li Jie with substitute point guard Liang Jun, and the remaining four main players all played.
Wang Zekai looked at the lack of willow wood in the opposite lineup, and couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth, without that annoying center, he could extend the offensive area to the penalty area.
The University of Petroleum sent the sideline ball, and Liang Jun dribbled just after half the court, passed the ball to Wang Zekai, and then ran back to the other side, giving Wang Zekai space to attack.
Liu Xiaodong quickly stepped forward to defend, and his arms kept shaking up and down, wanting to interfere with Wang Zekai.
"Oh, isn't this a future star, why are you playing again? You're here to see my scoring performance! While Wang Zekai kept spewing trash talk, he used sharp eyes to gain insight into Liu Xiaodong's defensive loopholes.
"Do you play with your mouth?" Liu Xiaodong sneered, and his body unconsciously leaned forward.
Seeing Liu Xiaodong's unconfident performance, Wang Zekai suddenly took two steps back, stepped out with his right foot to the right, and at the same time lowered the center of gravity of his body and turned around with the ball to the left side.
Liu Xiaodong, who was engrossed, was shaken to the right by Wang Zekai and pulled away half of his body, and he was thinking that it was still too late to move the defense horizontally.
Wang Zekai rushed to the free throw line, and in the face of Yu Fei, who rushed over to make up for the defense, he stopped abruptly and threw a backward jumper. Before Yu Fei rushed in front of Wang Zekai, the basketball had already crossed his air and hit the basket.
Seeing Wang Zekai's unwavering ridicule at himself, Liu Xiaodong secretly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists hard.
"Wang Zekai's turn and jump basket are really seamless, the best way to defend such a quarterback is to wrap up, or take a chance to stop him from receiving the ball!" Liu Qiliang explained that he saw very clearly that the current Liu Xiaodong is still very immature and has not reached the height of Wang Zekai in single defense.
Guo Cheng controlled the ball and came to the three-point line, glanced at Liu Xiaodong who reached out for the ball, he hesitated, but still passed the ball.
As soon as Liu Xiaodong received the ball, Wang Zekai stepped forward and said: Aren't you going to score on my head? Now's your chance! ”
Liu Xiaodong directly ignored his provocation, but slammed the ball to the left to start breaking through!
"I didn't see it, you're quite bloody!" Wang Zekai did not forget to defend while sneering, and he quickly moved sideways to the left, ready to block the defeated man.
Just as Wang Zekai was stepping confidently, there was a tall and thin wall of people blocking the left side behind him.
Wang Zekai turned his head in surprise and found that it was the substitute center Yu Fei, who was crossing his arms in front of his chest to block him.
"Damn, I was deceived!" Wang Zekai cursed depressedly, turned to the other side, he wanted to bypass the block to chase the defense.
After Liu Xiaodong took advantage of the block to dismantle Wang Zekai, he did not pause and accelerated towards the penalty area. Ouyang Xiahua didn't dare to be careless, he quickly rushed to Liu Xiaodong to prepare for the defense.
Liu Xiaodong faced Ouyang Xiahua, who was about to rush to the front, he made a sharp stop and raised the ball above his head with both hands.
Ouyang Xiahua knows very well that the necessary skill of a quarterback is to shoot from medium to long distance. So he quickly jumped up and straightened his right arm, ready to teach this newcomer who dared to shoot in front of him a lesson!
However, at the moment when Ouyang Xiahua's feet left the ground, Liu Xiaodong quickly took the ball down, and rushed forward with his legs.
Liu Xiaodong stepped two steps across the free throw line, kicked his body with his left leg and jumped up, stretched up with his right hand holding the ball, swung his left arm back, and when his body was in the air to the highest point, his right hand dunked the ball into the basket!
The audience was suddenly silent, and the home fans were shocked by Liu Xiaodong's gliding dunk. They originally thought that Liu Xiaodong would be able to complete such a difficult dunk in training, but they didn't expect that this freshman could also do it in actual combat, and with Liu Xiaodong's roar in the sky, it really brought an extremely shocking effect to the audience!
"Oh my God, it's a gliding split! Is he really only 19 years old? Liu Qiliang's excited incoherent words made the director of the provincial sports channel next to him full of black lines, and he now regretted asking Liu Qiliang to be in charge of explaining.
On the away team's seat, Liu Xiaodong's teammates stood up even more excitedly, and the towels in their hands waved wildly. The exhausted willow wood also clenched his fists excitedly, as if glowing with new strength.
When returning to the defense, Yu Fei and Liu Xiaodong high-fived and celebrated, and this ball also had the credit of his blocking.
In the home team seat, Li Zijiang was also amazed by Liu Xiaodong's dunk, this young man's bounce is higher than Wang Zekai, if he is allowed to grow up, will the University of Petroleum still be able to enter the regional competition in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Zijiang couldn't help but feel funny, he was so sensitive, not all talented newcomers could grow to the height of Wang Zekai!
Just when everyone was amazed by Liu Xiaodong's dunk, Wang Zekai didn't care too much. He thinks that this ball is only good at flying blocking, and as for that sliding dunk, he can also do it.
Liang Jun took possession of the ball and stood outside the three-point line, observing the form on the court, ready to pass the ball to teammates who had the opportunity at any time.
Wang Zekai ran back to the bottom corner and reached out to ask for the ball. Liang Jun did not hesitate, and passed the ball over with a flick of his wrist.
Wang Zekai stood outside the three-point line with confidence on his face, just waiting for the basketball to arrive, and then began his shooting performance.
However, just as Wang Zekai was about to catch the ball, a sky blue figure appeared in front of him, intercepting the basketball flying in front of him by the way.
The seasoned third-year veteran immediately realized he had been tackled, and he turned around and chased in the direction of half court.
"Liang Jun made a mistake in passing, and Liu Xiaodong snatched the ball away before Wang Zekai! Now that Liu Xiaodong is only blocked by Liang Jun in front of him, how should we choose Liu Xiaodong? Liu Qiliang explained excitedly, as if he was the current Liu Xiaodong, galloping on the court!
Liu Xiaodong controlled the ball and rushed quickly to the half, facing Liang Jun's lateral interception. He easily passed Liang Jun with a turn of his back, and the angry Coach Li Zijiang slammed the tactical board in his hand to the ground.
Liu Xiaodong was empty in front of him, but he still glanced back at Liang Jun, who was in hot pursuit, as he rushed across the free throw line.
In the face of an empty basket, Liu Xiaodong did not choose to dunk, but made a cautious quick layup.
"What a cautious boy, and I like him more and more." Liu Qiliang explained with a smile.
The cameraman on the sidelines immediately pointed the camera at Wang Zekai, who was robbed by Liu Xiaodong, and he made a smile that was more ugly than crying at the camera with a depressed face.
