Chapter 14: Obscuring the Sun
While Zhang Tiejun was thinking about countermeasures, another duel between Liu Xiaodong and Wang Zekai began.
Liu Xiaodong stretched out his hand to ask for the ball, and in the face of Wang Zekai's defense, he wanted to attack!
With Liu Xiaodong's calm handling of the last goal, Guo Cheng passed the ball without any hesitation. He believes that even if Liu Xiaodong fails in singles, he will pass the ball back and will not be brutal.
Looking at Liu Xiaodong with a cold face, Wang Zekai showed an unshaven expression. He saw a lot of eyes that were colder than this, thinking that he could scare himself in this way, and if this was the case, then he would not trample so many opponents under his feet.
Wang Zekai always blocked Liu Xiaodong just right before breaking through the line, and he used his 2.15 meter arm span to constantly trouble Liu Xiaodong, and almost broke the ball in Liu Xiaofei's hand several times.
Liu Xiaodong was a little impatient, he wanted to regain face in front of Wang Zekai, but now he was guarded by this annoying guy, it's really damn good!
"There is not much time left to attack, and passing the ball to the point guard at this time is Liu Xiaodong's best choice!" Liu Qiliang explained anxiously. He saw Liu Xiaodong's mood changes and wanted to tell Liu Xiaodong the correct way to play through commentary.
But he seems to have forgotten that he is in an enclosed space, and his voice can only be heard by viewers watching the provincial sports television station.
Liu Xiaodong glanced at the timer, he knew that there was not much time left for him, so he could only speed up the attack.
He first made a shooting feint, hoping to shake Wang Zekai, but Wang Zekai was not fooled, Liu Xiaodong could only throw the ball quickly.
Liu Xiaodong felt a sense of relief at the moment when the ball was taken off, and he only hoped that the basketball thrown out could enter the basket smoothly.
But things always go to the bad side, and just as Liu Xiaodong looked in the direction of the basket and prayed, a tall figure obscured his vision.
Liu Xiaodong looked up and saw enough to make his jaw drop, only to see Wang Zekai in the air stretch out his exaggerated arm and firmly grasp the basketball flying in the air with his right hand!
"Is this a cap?" The audience let out an exclamation. Liu Xiaodong also grew his mouth in shock, this is the first time he has been covered with such a ball since he learned to play basketball.
If he was watching the game in front of the TV or in the audience, Liu Xiaodong would definitely cheer with them excitedly! But now he was not excited at all, on the contrary, there was a sense of frustration.
Wang Zekai was still surprised by everyone, and he controlled the ball and rushed through the half. Liu Xiaodong reflexively ran to the three-point line and opened his arms to block the opponent's progress.
Wang Zekai controlled the ball to the right side at 45 degrees, and still turned around and played with his back to Liu Xiaodong. He used his power to push Liu Xiaodong to a distance of two steps from the penalty area, turned around and hit a sideways jumper.
This time, Liu Xiaodong's defense was not deceived by feints, but his straight arms stretched upwards did not interfere with Wang Zekai's shooting substantially.
"It's too passive to play like this, the coach has to make adjustments in time to let the newcomers calm down for a while!" Liu Qiliang tried his best to explain in a calm and soothing tone. Just when the director switched the camera, the director of the provincial sports channel next to him had already reminded him that this was a comment that the province's live broadcast should maintain objectivity and rationality!
Compared with Liu Qiliang in the live broadcast room, Zhang Tiejun on the sidelines had no one to remind. His 28-year-old assistant did not come because his wife gave birth in the hospital.
Zhang Tiejun was anxiously pacing on the sidelines, and the best countermeasure he could come up with was to replace Hou Wei and replace Liu Xiaodong.
But Hou Wei's current state is not better than Liu Xiaodong, even if he is replaced, what substantive effect can he bring to the team? You still have to rely on the inside and the pitcher to assist.
"Sun Yangyang, you prepare"
"Huh?" Sun Yangyang's face was full of doubts, does the coach want me to defend that perverted quarterback, I'm a small forward!
"You will be in charge of marking Wang Zekai when you are on the court, you are both the same height, as long as you can keep up with his footsteps and interfere with his shooting, we can reverse the decline!" After Zhang Tiejun finished speaking, he walked to the technical table, leaving Sun Yangyang with a bitter face.
After the pause, Liu Xiaodong sweated profusely and walked to the bench and sat down limply. Looking at his depressed expression, it was exactly the same as Hou Wei next to him.
"Xiaodong, are you okay?" Zhang Tiejun asked worriedly, he had high expectations for Liu Xiaodong, and he didn't want to ruin a good quarterback seedling because of a game.
"I'm fine, coach." Liu Xiaodong replied a little tiredly. He was so tired, it was really not an easy task to fight against Wang Zekai.
Zhang Tiejun glanced at Liu Xiaodong worriedly, and hurriedly made new tactical arrangements.
The game restarted, and Zhang Tiejun replaced Liu Xiaodong with "unstable pitcher" Sun Yangyang to open up space for Liu Mu's basket singles.
Li Zijiang replaced Ouyang Xiahua, who was good at middle-distance shooting, and replaced Lin Zijie, who was tough on defense, to strengthen the interior defense.
Wang Zekai looked at Sun Yangyang who ran over and couldn't help but smile. He remembers this guy with a questioning mentality, in last year's game, in the face of teammate Fan Ming's deliberately conceded three-point vacancy, he missed 4 shots in a row of funny mascots.
Just after Guo Cheng dribbled the ball in the half, he saw Sun Yangyang, who ran to the bottom corner and had a vacancy, and he passed the ball over.
Sun Yangyang caught the basketball, and just wanted to adjust a comfortable shooting posture, he saw Wang Zekai standing two steps away from him, looking at him with a wicked smile.
"Don't worry, I won't cover your hat, I still remember your heroic performance last year!" Wang Zekai said with a cheap smile.
"Vote! What are you waiting for! Zhang Tiejun on the sidelines roared angrily, what a good opportunity to vacate a seat, I really don't know what Sun Yangyang is stunned about.
Hearing the roar on the sidelines, Sun Yangyang's hands were weak and he almost didn't hold the basketball.
Sun Yangyang hurriedly held the ball hard, and then raised the ball above his head to shoot. The bottom right corner is where he has the most confidence, and as long as no one interferes with him, he can go in.
However, Wang Zekai broke his illusion, and at the moment when he was about to throw the ball, Wang Zekai yelled "Bah! He quickly raised his right arm and threw himself at him.
Sun Yangyang's already weak heart, after Wang Zekai's sudden interference, threw a three-not-stick shot.
Lin Zijie, who had just come on the court, jumped up suddenly, grabbed the sharply falling basketball in his hand, and passed the ball to Li Jie with a flick of his wrist.
Sun Yangyang's three-stick shot caught the other players of Hecheng University off guard, including Yanagi, who was stuck under the basket, and did not react. Only Guo Cheng remained awake, and he pounced on Li Jie the moment he received the ball.
Li Jie dribbled and turned around in disguise, and passed Guo Cheng, who did not stand firmly. He quickly dribbled to the front court, and Guo Cheng chased after him.
Li Jie dribbled to the basket, and he had no intention of dunking or making a layup. Because he knows very well how terrifying the point guard behind him who is shorter than himself is bounced!
He glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, threw the ball high into the air, and ran to the baseline.
Guo Cheng looked up at the air with a puzzled face, and a yellow figure appeared in front of him.
I saw Wang Zekai in the air grabbing the falling basketball with his right hand, and dunking the ball into the basket through Guo Cheng!
"He's too strong!" This is the voice of Liu Xiaodong and Hou Wei sitting on the bench, they don't know what other way to defeat this powerful opponent!
