Chapter 13: Semifinals
At the end of the first day of the competition, the classes that entered the breakout competition were Class 11, Class 2, Class 16, Class 15, Class 5, Class 6, Class 10, and Class 8.
Not long after the end of the game, the schedule for the next day was announced, with Class 11 against Class 8, Class 2 against Class 10, Class 16 against Class 6, and Class 15 against Class 5.
The classes that can enter the breakout competition are not weak, of course, except for class 11, among the remaining 7 teams, class 2, class 6, class 8, and our class 5 are the strongest. Among them, Class 2 has a big forward with comprehensive skills, Class 6 has Ma Zhenfeng, a powerful guard, Class 8 also has a master who can shoot suddenly, and Class 5 is of course even more powerful.
So there was no accident in the breakout competition on the second day, it was all expected by everyone, and classes 2, 5, 6, and 8 successfully broke through and reached the semifinals.
And our class 5 also ushered in the first one, the opponent who made the glasses man Nie Yongbo cautious, the first and second classes of high school.
The second class eliminated the twelve classes with strong defenders before entering the breakout competition, and the strength is strong, so naturally it cannot be underestimated.
Before the start of the semi-finals, Nie Yongbo gathered everyone together, holding a tactical board in his hand, and deploying the final tactics.
"After two days of observation, the main offensive point of Class 2 is their No. 3 power forward, and the others have no means to score, so what we have to do is to limit the opponent's No. 3."
Nie Yongbo glanced at me, and then continued: "Their tactics are similar to ours, they are all trying to pass the ball to the inside line, and then use the inside line to score singles. So our tactics have to change. ”
"Ma Sixu, you still play point guard, pass more after half court and dribble less. Lin Xuan, you are still a scoring guard, your mid-to-long-range shooting rate is good, and you can shoot more when you are vacant. Sun Chengwu, you are still a power forward, responsible for grabbing rebounds. Liu Ye and Liao Yuan, the two of you switch to center, no matter which of the two of you plays, you must work with Sun Chengwu to defend their No. 3, use your body to squeeze him more, consume his physical strength as much as possible, and cooperate with the sports committee to control the rebound in your hands. ”
"The one who gets the rebound wins the world, and this saying can never be wrong on the basketball court."
"Sports Commissioner, today you change to play small forward, in the position of small forward, you have an absolute height advantage, so you have to add more singles under the basket, as well as more rebounds, today we don't play fast break, fast break is too physical, we play positional warfare, the pursuit of efficiency, as long as the rebounding ball is controlled in our hands, we can win this victory."
After Nie Yongbo finished speaking, he looked at us for a while, and then asked, "Do you understand?" ”
We all nodded in understanding.
Nie Yongbo's tactics are actually very clear, using role players to limit the opponent's main force, and then compete for rebounds more, and control the pace of the game with positional battles.
In the absence of substitute players, playing efficiency is naturally the best choice.
The game started soon, I and the No. 3 of the 2nd class stood in the middle of the jump ball, although the 3rd of the 2nd class was very strong, but he was not as tall as me, and the bounce was not as good as me, and the jump ball was naturally not my opponent, and the basketball was transferred to the hands of Ma Sixu in the backcourt.
Ma Sixu slowly walked the ball through the half court, and then gave the ball to Lin Xuan, who was in the vacant position, Lin Xuan did not choose to shoot when he got the ball, but passed the ball to me standing under the basket.
The guy who defended me was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a white shirt and not even a jersey, but I didn't despise him. I held the basketball in both hands and made a dummy swing to the right, and then I quickly spun to the left, shook off the defense in an instant, and then I immediately jumped up and made a beautiful shot to score two points with ease.
Class 2 bottom line kickoff, their class No. 3 quickly ran towards our basket, responsible for defending No. 3 Liu Ye and Sun Chengwu simply can't catch up with the speed of No. 3, class 2 kick-off directly on the bottom line came to a long pass, basketball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, No. 3 jumped up to receive the basketball after the luck is not lucky, holding the ball on the two steps, and then jumped on one foot, layup scored, the score became 2:2 draw.
It was our turn to kick off, and the basketball was given to Ma Sixu, who swept the front and found that the 2nd class returned to defense very quickly, which was clearly to prevent us from playing fast attack.
The corners of Ma Sixu's mouth smiled slightly, not in a hurry to attack, and after everyone was in position, he gave the ball to me who reached out for the ball, I looked back at the basket, and turned around to shoot after the same feint.
The defenders didn't get shaken off by my feints this time, and jumped up after me, trying to block me. But his outstretched palm could only touch my arm.
With a "snap", his palm hit my arm with a crisp sound. With a flick of my wrist, I put the ball in the basket.
"Toot!"
The referee blew the whistle and I walked to the free throw line.
"2+1, good job!"
"Come on!"
I stood at the free throw line, Ma Sixu and others came forward to high-five me, and I lived up to expectations, smoothly scored the ball, and scored three points at once.
Class 2 attacked, this time they couldn't play a fast attack, they could only advance slowly, after the ball passed half the court, they passed the ball to the inside, however, when the No. 3 of class 2 got the ball, they were immediately surrounded by Sun Chengwu and Liu Ye.
The No. 3 of Class 2 is very good, even in the face of two people's defense, he can still be calm, he just swayed a few steps under his feet, and then turned around with a backrest, and broke through the chain blockade of Sun Chengwu and Liu Ye, followed by a wipe shot, and the basketball was sent into the basket.
The game went on minute by minute, and the offensive firepower of both teams was very strong, so the score was always tight. Until the end of the first half, our class was not much ahead of the second class.
At halftime, the six of us gathered around Nie Yongbo and listened to Nie Yongbo's tactical arrangements.
"41-38, we're only three points ahead, so let's not let up. Liu Ye and Sun Chengwu, the two of you have done a good job, their No. 3 has no physical strength, Liao Yuan, you replace Liu Ye in the second half, you have to stare at their No. 3, Sun Chengwu will cooperate with you, as long as the No. 3 is prevented, their attack will be dumb. Sports Commissioner, if you still have enough energy, you can have a few dunks in the second half to extinguish their confidence. ”
I immediately patted my chest: "Don't worry, I just warmed up in the first half!" I've wanted to detain him for a long time! But Glasses Hero, you should call me by my name in the future! A sports commissioner, it sounds weird. ”
Nie Yongbo spread his hands: "I also want to call your name, but I don't know what your name is!" ”
"Dizzy! I've known each other for so long, and I don't even know my name? You don't know about it, do you? ”
I looked at Sun Chengwu and the others, Sun Chengwu scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "That, we know that you are a sports commissioner, but I really don't remember the name." ”
Lin Xuan and the others are the same, they only know that I am a sports commissioner, but they don't know my name.
I shrugged helplessly: "Okay! You need to remember this time! Don't call me a sports commissioner in the future. Remember, my name is Wu Bufan, the Wu of a team, the Wu of the natural extraordinary. ”
