Chapter 011: Master of Rhythm

What does YPS mean for a basketball player? Li Yao is a living example.

A three-step layup without any interference, a ball that was more difficult to shoot than to throw, was messed up by him, the ball was so outrageously off, and it didn't even touch the basket.

But he does know how to score, and he can even be very proficient at it, but it's also a fact that he is really not good at scoring.

It is this kind of performance that until now, Li Yao has not scored on behalf of the third middle school in the official competition, not even a single point, and the number of shots in all the games is not as good as Mu Chenfeng's shots in one game, and the players who have not played in the league are not recorded in the rankings, so the 0% shooting rate of the whole season makes him firmly at the bottom of the scoring list.

Not scoring does not mean that Li Yao has done nothing on the offensive end, another record has successfully helped him to the top of the list, that is, the assist list, and the third place in total assists is Li Yao.

Each high school league will have 16 colleges and universities to participate, divided into two halves, each team has to play two home and away games with the team in the same division, so that the regular season will have 14 games, the top four teams in the division will enter the subsequent knockout round, the knockout game will be won or lost, the winner will enter the semi-finals to determine the opponent of the semi-finals, and then the final final.

At the end of a season, if the team makes it all the way to the finals, they will have to play a total of 17 games.

After losing to the attached middle school, he lost the qualification to participate in the follow-up knockout rounds, and Li Yao missed a game in the middle of the season for personal reasons, so Li Yao played a total of 13 games, but his number of assists on the assist list turned out to be an astonishing 158, The average number of assists per game is 12.1, which is the first in the number of assists per game, the first two are Qiu Fei, the core of the attached middle school with 163 assists, and Zhang Jianing, the second foreign Chinese organization forward with 161 assists, both of whom played all 14 games in full attendance and both entered the knockout round.

In the end, this list will be counted after the end of the winter season, and Li Yao is likely to hit the average assist per game king.

Mu Chenfeng, who wanted to lead the second team into the second half, could only look at the same score dryly, and didn't say anything, it was indeed a bit difficult to hand over the ball to Li Yao when the countdown was about to end, if it was a different person, the goal would definitely be scored.

"It's okay, it's already good." Mu Chenfeng did not regret passing the ball to him, for Li Yao, it is rare to shoot in the game, he once would rather violate the rules in 24 seconds in the game and hold the ball and refuse to shoot.

"I'm better at passing than scoring." Li Yao repeated the layup action just now, and the technique of sending the basketball into the basket was too difficult for him.

"I'll leave the score to me." Mu Chenfeng patted him on the shoulder, "I'll leave the words of the organization to you." Mu Chenfeng is not worried about this, completely delegating power to Li Yao, the organization is not a simple dribble, the focus is on the control of timing and the mastery of rhythm, which is also Li Yao's strongest place.

"I'm going to give them some good looks in the second half." The teammates spoke, the confidence came from Mu Chenfeng and Li Yao, and having these two in the team always made people feel much more down-to-earth, and they naturally became a lot more tough when they talked big.

"Everyone is ready to catch the ball at all times." Mu Chenfeng told every player that it was Li Yao who was passing the ball to everyone now, and it was easy to make mistakes if he didn't concentrate.

"Everybody keep up." Returning to his familiar position as a point guard, Li Yao immediately entered the state, "Don't drag me back." ”

In the first half, it was the second team that kicked off, and in the second half, the ball was exchanged, and the first team took the lead in attacking.

Li Yao was unhurried, and dribbled the ball through the half court in 8 seconds, and at the moment when his foot crossed the middle line, the players of the second team immediately became nervous, except for Su Miao, he did not feel anything unusual, Li Yao dribbled the ball, the players ran and ran, everything happened normally.

"The atmosphere isn't quite right." Su Miao's brows frowned slightly, and he clearly felt the nervous breathing of his teammates.

Sou~

Li Yao, who only saw it, raised his hand slightly, and the basketball penetrated the first line of defense at a very fast speed, flew straight to the bottom corner, and almost spanned the entire half of the court The pass was accurately and forcefully passed to Mu Chenfeng, who was ambushed in the bottom corner, and Mu Chenfeng started with a three-point shot and hit accurately.

"This pass!"

What surprised Su Miao was not how fast the ball passed, but Li Yao's vision, between the two of them, there were at least two defenders to cover, he was able to find Mu Chenfeng who got rid of the defense when his vision was missing, and assisted the latter to hit an empty three-pointer, what is this talent? Such a ball cannot be touched by chance.

In the offensive round of the second team, Su Miao threw a mid-range shot and broke the previous five consecutive hits.

Li Yao turned his head and used his teammates' blocking and dismantling cover to successfully break the second team's marking defense, hit the ground and pass to his teammates who ran back, and his teammates got the ball to resist Su Miao's defense, scored a backhand layup, and also caused Su Miao's beating foul.

There is no limit to the number of fouls in an intra-team game, but as in regular games, defensive fouls are subject to free throws.

The first free throw is wide and the second free throw is hit.

With two assists, Li Yao helped the team add 6 points.

A mid-range shot missed did not make Su Miao's feel decrease, just in the position where he just missed, Su Miao scored the ball in the same way, regaining momentum, he did not allow himself to make the same mistake, and Su Miao's mid-range shots increased significantly in the second half.

The offensive of the first team is unabated, and it has not been seen for a long time since there has been a back and forth match against the team, of course, it must be cool.

Especially Li Yao, who used his passing to completely revitalize the team, he organized Mu Chenfeng to devote himself to the offense, and took out his arsenal one by one.

Jump shots, breakaways, three-pointers, throws, and even hit a small hook on Su Miao's head, Mu Chenfeng hit 5 goals in just three minutes, 4 of which came from Li Yao's direct assist.

Su Miao is not a vegetarian, but the support that his teammates around him can bring to him is really limited, both to organize, defend and score, one person almost does everything that needs to be done on the court, Mu Chenfeng responded to every goal, so that the score was not pulled away.

"Whew~" Su Miao gasped deeply, the disadvantages of staying away from the court for too long began to appear, even if technically he could quickly become proficient with experience, but the disadvantage in physical fitness was indeed impossible to make up for by experience, and the high-intensity game made Su Miao begin to show fatigue.

"It's almost the limit." Even though Su Miao had tried his best to suppress his fatigue, he was still seen through by Li Yao at a glance, such fatigue had already been revealed from the beginning of the second half, increasing mid-distance shooting, and reducing muscle collisions on the inside line were all manifestations of physical decline.

"What's wrong?" Mu Chenfeng asked.

"It's nothing, maybe it's going to be speeded up." Li Yao looked at Su Miao with a sneer, he planned to drag Su Miao down with a more compact attack.

"Everybody keep up." Li Yao commanded, this time he was no longer dribbling like a walk, but quickly pushed the ball across the half court.

The sudden change in rhythm made Su Miao's heart feel a little anxious, with his current problem situation, the slower the pace of the game, the better it was for him, the faster the pace, the greater the consumption, his remaining physical strength was only enough to cope with a few rounds of such a quick change, and the remaining time of the game was still long, he would definitely not be able to survive the last.

What you are afraid of is more and more coming! Li Yao raised the rhythm of the game by another gear, the passing of the entire first team was smooth under the control of Li Yao, and the second team could only ensure that no one was missed by constantly rotating the defense, and the non-stop running accelerated the physical consumption of the players.

What's even more terrifying is that this kind of consumption is meaningless, this offensive basketball passed through the hands of everyone in the team, and finally the basketball fell into the hands of Mu Chenfeng, after changing the defense, the person responsible for defending Mu Chenfeng at this time was Su Miao, but he didn't defend it, and his pace couldn't keep up with the rotation of the ball.

"Damn." His legs were as heavy as lead, "Move." ”

The tactics of the first team worked again, they just wanted to force the second team to constantly change defenses through the rotation of the ball, and finally replaced Su Miao to defend Mu Chenfeng. Su Miao, whose physical fitness is at the limit, is no longer a defensive gate, but a defensive hole.

Mu Chenfeng shot at a distance, and Su Miao used his last bit of strength to make up for the defense.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, Su Miao's knees slammed into the floor. He didn't take a step after all.

"Brother." Su Mengyao entered the field as soon as possible, she was very worried that Su Miao would be injured again, and the team members also gathered around.

"Senpai." Mu Chenfeng stepped forward and wanted to help Su Miao up.

With a big hand, "No." Su Miao rejected Mu Chenfeng, supported herself hard, tried to stand up, and the sweat on her body fell to the floor drop by drop.
