Chapter 39: Silence

"In the second quarter, Xiaodong will rest first! Hou Wei, you take the substitute, pay attention to grasp the offensive rhythm! Zhang Tiejun said seriously.

Liu Xiaodong lowered his head and did not speak, he knew that his performance in the second half of the quarter was weak, and he did not limit Sun Bin's offense, so that the team lost the lead.

Zhang Tiejun glanced at Liu Xiaodong, and did not say anything to comfort or explain, he knew that there were some difficulties that he still needed to overcome by himself.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Gulin University replaced four substitutes, leaving captain Sun Bin on the court, wanting to continue to extend the lead.

Hou Wei's scoring ability is good, but he is much worse than Liu Xiaodong on the defensive end, which is not caused by experience, but by innate physical talent. Although his body is strong, his reach and speed are not excellent.

Sun Bin was cautious at first to create opportunities for his teammates, but slowly he found Hou Wei's defensive shortcomings, so he was not polite, and directly rushed to throw, which made Hou Wei bitter.

Off the field, Zhang Tiejun's face was very ugly, he knew that Hou Wei had tried his best to defend, but that Sun Bin could still throw the ball in!

"It seems that it is a very unwise choice for Hecheng University to replace all the main players. Sun Bin was in their forbidden area, playing very happily like a fish in water! Zhang Wei said with a mocking explanation.

After that, Hou Wei took advantage of Yu Fei's blocking and dismantling, and ran back to the bottom corner to shoot from a distance, breaking the embarrassing situation of not scoring for more than 2 minutes.

Gulin University attacked, Sun Bin stood on the right side at a 45-degree angle to ask for the ball, and in the face of Hou Wei's almost face-to-face defense, he leaned back to hit near the free throw line, turned around and hit a jumper.

Liu Xiaodong sat on the bench, looking at Sun Bin, who provoked him after scoring a goal, he was almost about to stand up and play.

"Don't worry, watch the game well, only by calming down can you find out the weaknesses of your opponent." Guo Cheng patted Liu Xiaodong on the shoulder, he knew that this junior's talent was not comparable to that Sun Bin.

When the game reached 5 minutes and 15 seconds, Coach Zhang Tiejun got up and walked to the referee's seat, and then Liu Xiaodong and the other four main players all came on the court.

"With five minutes left before half-time, Hecheng University is 11 points behind, and they need to seize the opportunity to recover the score in the period after Sun Bin is gone!" Zhang Weijie said.

Liu Xiaodong ran according to the tactics, and Guo Cheng took the ball through the half court and passed it inside. Liu Mu relied on Zhang Yuhang's back to play singles, and tried to turn around and shoot twice, but Zhang Yuhang blocked the shooting route, and he could only distribute the ball to the outside.

After Liu Xiaodong received the ball, he called a block, Liu Mu ran to the three-point line, Liu Xiaodong broke through by blocking and dismantling, and left Li Xu, the backup quarterback who defended him, behind.

Zhang Yuhang immediately changed his guard, and he moved laterally to stop Liu Xiaodong.

Seeing that Liu Xiaodong, who was accelerating, was about to hit the tall man in front of him, he suddenly changed his disguise and swept past the right side of Zhang Yuhang's body.

Chu Zhiyuan abandoned Zhu Zihua to defend in the penalty area, ready to solve Liu Xiaodong under the basket. But before Chu Zhiyuan reached the penalty line, Liu Xiaodong suddenly stopped his shot within one step of the free throw line.

Chu Zhiyuan jumped high, but failed to intercept the basketball flying in the air and falling into the basket.

After scoring the goal, Liu Xiaodong waved his fist at Sun Bin, who was resting on the sidelines, meaning that you have shown me a good look, and I am going to start a counterattack!

"Provocation! This is a blatant provocation! What does Liu Xiaodong want to do? The host of the sports channel shouted loudly that he wanted to give the audience in front of the TV some excitement, but he couldn't let them change the channel and affect the ratings.

Li Xu looked at Liu Xiaodong's figure, full of anger, he was ignored by a freshman!

So he didn't run according to the original tactic, but reached out to Zhang Hui to ask for the ball.

Zhang Hui, who was directing his teammates to run, was slightly stunned when he saw Li Xu's movements, if it was other substitutes, he would ignore them directly and ask the substitute to run.

But Li Xu is not auspicious, he is a friend in the same class as himself, and he has real materials, if it weren't for Sun Bin's talent being too outstanding, Li Xu would be the team's best choice.

Zhang Feng thought about it and passed the ball over. After Li Xu received the ball, he directly made a breakthrough feint, and Liu Xiaodong paid close attention to the opponent's shaking shoulders and body center of gravity.

Just when Liu Xiaodong was engrossed, Li Xu suddenly started to the left. Liu Xiaodong quickly moved sideways, but as soon as he was halfway through, he hit a wall of flesh.

Seeing Li Xu rush towards the forbidden area by himself, Liu Xiaodong hurriedly turned around and chased after him.

Li Xu was very proud after breaking through, that newcomer ignored himself, and now he finally paid the price!

He learned Liu Xiaodong's previous offensive style, and made a sharp stop at the free throw line to recover the previous humiliation.

But at the moment when Li Xu jumped and threw his shot, a blue figure appeared behind him.

Li Xu only felt a strong wind whistling overhead, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart. He knew that the newcomer had good bounce power, and he had sent his opponent to chase after him more than once!

Sure enough, as Li Xu expected, the person who waved his hand in the air to fan him out of bounds was Liu Xiaodong!

"Nice chase cap! I think this ball will definitely leave a shadow in Li Xu's heart! I don't think he'd better play against that newcomer with incredible bounce. The host is not shocking, he has fallen to the ground in order to increase the ratings.

Zhang Wei sat next to him and smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that in order to attract the audience, you wouldn't kneel and lick like this.

Gulin University sent the sideline ball, this time Sun Bin did not pass it to Li Xu after receiving the ball, but hoisted the ball high into the hands of Zhang Yuhang on the inside, who turned around and made a layup.

Hecheng University attacked, and after Guo Cheng took the ball across the half, he smiled and passed the ball straight to Liu Xiaodong and winked.

Liu Xiaodong was stunned for a moment when he received the ball, and then he understood Guo Cheng's intentions, he wanted to provoke Li Xu so that he could chase the score.

But Liu Xiaodong didn't go to spew trash talk, he has his own principles, and when he doesn't meet an opponent stronger than himself, he doesn't use such a unique stunt!

"Rookie, you've succeeded in me off! I'll give you back the chase right away, let you know how good I am, I advise you to pass the ball as soon as possible, save yourself from crying when the time comes..."Li Xu leaned against Liu Xiaodong to vent his anger, and his foaming stars were almost all sprayed on Liu Xiaodong's face.

Liu Xiaodong closed his lips tightly, he was afraid that he would vomit out nauseously when he opened his mouth, if it wasn't for the basketball in his hand, he would definitely run back to the away team's bench and wipe his face with a towel.

"Rookie, speak! Why don't you speak! Isn't it scared! Li Xu chattered endlessly, he thought that Liu Xiaodong was frightened by his momentum.

Just when Li Xu was smug, Liu Xiaodong suddenly took a step to the left, and after tricking Li Xu into moving sideways, he slapped the ball to the right side and broke through directly. By the time Li Xu turned around and returned to defense, Liu Xiaodong had already reached the free throw line.

Liu Mu flexibly walked in front of Zhang Yuhang and helped Liu Xiaodong to block an offensive line in the penalty area.

Liu Xiaodong stepped into the free throw line, glared hard with his left leg, jumped up with his body, and slid for 1 second before dunking the ball into the basket.

Li Xu looked at Liu Xiaodong after landing, stunned in place, Liu Xiaodong's gliding distance made it difficult for him to believe that all that happened in front of him was true.

"You'd better brush your teeth before you talk next time!" After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking to Li Xu, he ran to the away team's bench without looking back.

After that, Liu Xiaodong wiped his face and returned to exert his strength again, he faced Li Xu's defense in the bottom corner, and luckily hit a difficult three-pointer.

By the end of the half, Hecheng University had recovered the score behind and tied it at 52 with Gulin University.
