Chapter 20: Gibbons
With Lin Mu's layup, the score gap was stretched to 12 points.
In addition to catching up with the score gap, the greater significance of this layup is to greatly increase the morale of the first-year players and make Qian Duoduo begin to reflect on himself.
For Qian Duoduo, an opponent who constantly picks thorns, Lin Mu is very disgusted. However, in addition to disgust, Lin Mu wanted him to understand what a basketball player was.
In Lin Mu's heart, basketball players need sportsmanship. Be sensible, calm and respectful of your opponent at all times.
But there is a lot of money, because of his youth and a little talent, it is difficult for him to maintain his sanity and respect for his opponents.
This time, I saw Qian Duoduo, who was stunned because of what Lin Mu said, and the sophomore and junior teams unexpectedly did not complain about Qian Duoduo.
Gu Jing stepped forward, patted Qian Duoduo's shoulder, and said gently, "It's time for us to serve." ”
After Qian Duoduo heard this, he lowered his head and walked back to his position, reached out to take the basketball from Fang Siyuan, and slowly dribbled through the half.
Lin Mu still chose to defend Qian Duoduo, Qian Duoduo looked at the defense that could not be broken through like an iron wall, he did not hesitate, nor did he say any more ridicule. Instead, he passed the ball to Gu Jing honestly.
After Gu Jing took the pass, facing Gu Beicheng's defense, which was still a little immature, he forcibly broke through and pulled the score back to fourteen points.
Looking at Qian Duoduo's honest passing action, Lin Mu didn't say anything, and he didn't regret that his words woke up this selfish boy.
Lin Mu just silently took the pass of the turban boy outside the field, thinking about a way to quickly pull back the score.
Lin Mu's dribbling was very stable, so stable that Qian Duoduo, a steal master, couldn't make his own steals.
However, this does not mean that Qian Duoduo has given up on defense. He tried his best to defend Lin Mu, and at the same time, he also looked around, trying to determine who Lin Mu was passing to.
Lin Mu looked at Qian Duoduo, who had a different attitude from just now, and he showed a subtle smile.
He didn't try to break through Qian Duoduo because his offensive breakthrough ability was not very strong. He jumped straight up and jumped the ball straight to the tall lanky boy who was running for the best attacking position.
After the tall and thin boy received the pass, he watched Lin Mu break free from Qian Duoduo's defense and wanted to pass it back to Lin Mu. At the moment when he was about to pass the ball, Lin Mu shouted: "No one is defending you!" Shoot fast! ”
When the tall and thin boy heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the pass and jumped directly.
However, the ball did not go in due to his excessive force.
On the contrary, Gu Jing grabbed the rebound.
Seeing this scene, the tall and thin boy felt remorse and deep guilt in his heart.
"It's a shame that you can get in with a tap of your wrist. It's okay, go on the defensive. Lin Mu looked at the tall and thin boy with a little remorse, stepped forward and continued: "Next time, you must enter!" ”
"Good!" After hearing Lin Mu's comforting words, the tall and thin boy gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.
He ran back to his defensive position, stretched out his arms and defended hard to get the ball and play against his senior senior.
The tall and thin boy is obviously different, he was originally 187cm, 7cm taller than the senior senior of the opponent, and his arm length is longer than many people of the same height, because of this arm length and this height, he was nicknamed "gibbon" by the bad boys in junior high school.
This "gibbon", with the nickname of ridicule and humiliation, accompanied him for three years in junior high school. This nickname and the bullying of those bad boys made him become introverted and not like to talk for three years in junior high school. It also made him have no friends, let alone self-confidence.
However, because he has no friends and no self-confidence, he will fall in love with basketball, although his basketball is basically practiced alone in the backyard of his home. However, he loves basketball and longs to play an official tournament so that the bad boys who bullied him can see just how good the gibbons they mocked at the time were!
It's a pity that he doesn't have any advantages other than the length of his hands and body. Of course, this advantage is compared with monsters like Qin Weijia and Gu Beicheng of the basketball team of the high school affiliated to Beijing University.
This gap between monsters and mortals makes him on the field, without any place to be trusted, and the role he plays is just the existence of a spectator and a passer.
However, since Lin Mu came on the court, the two dialogues have made this "gibbon" re-recognize his advantages, and he is trying to defend the senior with the ball in front of him.
His facial expression was also very hideous, and he desperately followed the footsteps of the senior in high school, as funny as an old hen with open wings.
However, his senior in high school couldn't laugh at his comical defense.
Because, he saw the determination of the "gibbon" man. That determination is to live up to the trust of your teammates.
The helpless senior senior who was defended could only make the final decision to pass the ball, but at the moment when he was about to pass, a ghost-like figure appeared near him and intercepted his pass.
That ghost-like figure was another 186cm tall turban boy, after he broke the ball, passed it to Lin Muhou, and ran up shouting at the tall and thin boy.
This time, the tall and thin boy did not hesitate anymore and ran directly.
And Lin Mu looked at the appearance of the tall and thin boy running hard, deliberately slowed down, and waited for the tall and thin boy to run to the basket, and a beautiful pass was passed to the tall and thin boy.
At this time, the tall and thin boy was no longer confused, nor did he have the loneliness of practicing alone before, nor did he have the humiliation of being nicknamed "Gibbon" for three years.
All he could see was the basket now, and he jumped up with all his might, grabbed the basketball in his hand, and slammed it in.
It's like the three years of autistic junior high school, when he practiced dunking alone on the basketball court in the backyard of his home.
As the ball went in, he couldn't help but roar.
Although, this roar, with his long arms, is more like a primate animal. However, this roar also represents the nickname of gibbon, which is no longer a humiliation. It's an honor.
In this way, since Lin Mu came on the field, the entire high school team has been like a chicken blood, and everyone is doing their best to fight. In the fifteenth minute of the game, the score was pulled from 15 points to 5 points, and the main reason for catching up with the gap was because Lin Mu mainly used the thin and tall boy and the turban boy as the main attacker, and Qin Weijia was the second strategy, drilling the gap in the defense of the high school sophomore and high school junior team.
But in the same way, the sophomore and junior teams, led by the silent Qian Duoduo pass, were not to be outdone, especially Gu Jing four minutes before the end of the game. Two consecutive 2+1 pulled the score to 11 points again.
At this time, four minutes before the end of the game, the high one team called a timeout.
