"Okay, the second half is about to begin!"

Back on the pitch, after a half-time break, the players from both sides were rejuvenated and ready to go, and the second half of the battle was about to begin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Although the rookies played quite well for most of the first half, relying on strong offensive firepower to maintain the lead, the maximum point difference reached about 10 points."

On the side of the commentary stage, Smith dutifully commented: "But at the end of the second quarter, the sophomore team suddenly played a wave of offense, starting on the defensive end, locking the rookie team's offense, and then using quick counterattacks to score consecutive points. A wave of 8-0 passed, but it overtook 2 points. ”

"Don't think that this two-point advantage looks small, you can catch it back in one round, but in a basketball game, sometimes it's not just about the point difference, it's more momentum."

Ross Barkley said in a serious way: "The half-time lead is more or less a lead, and the psychological advantage is there. And the sophomore team is behind the situation to overtake the lead, momentum, mentality will be higher than the rookies, when the start of the game, this mentality advantage, will greatly affect the performance of the players. ”

"That's right, and because it was the sophomores who kicked off in the second half, if we scored one more goal in the opening game, the difference would be widened to four or even five points, and that's a hurdle."

Smith added that the players were ready to start playing.

"Beep!"

"Cow's corner!"

The referee's whistle blew, the sophomore kicked off, and Evans gave tactical instructions as he advanced with the ball.

"This way, this way!"

In the frontcourt, Gibson and Blair were placed on both sides, the two walls were blocked at the horns, and Curry and DeRozan flew on both wings and walked to the bottom line.

"It's going to cross, don't change guards!"

Fields saw the opponent's tactics at a glance, shouted, and when the bottom line crossed, he and Gu Yu directly squeezed through without changing defenses.

"Whoosh!"

Almost without hesitation, Evans sent a pass at the moment when Curry cut out, Gu Yu's pace was a little slower after all, Curry received the ball, and a step back came directly to the outside of the three-point line.

I'm top!

Gu Yu continued to take a step forward, raising his right hand high to block the shooting route.

"Bang Bang"

Curry dribbled under his crotch, near the three-point line, and danced.

Crotch, back dribbling, cross step, Curry's dribbling movements were smooth, and in an instant, Gu Yu looked like there were countless opponents dancing in front of him, and he was dazzled.

On the defensive end, although Gu Yu has made great progress, he still fell behind in the face of Curry, who has begun to evolve.

"Continuous back-to-back dribbling, cutting in...... Feints! Stephen Curry stepped back to the three-point line and made a shot...... BAM！！！ Three-point shooting!! ”

“YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH――！！！”

The wonderful performance of the waves out of the water made the scene burst instantly. After watching a full half of Griffin, Wall, Cousins, DeRozan and others' dunk performances, Curry's splash-like gorgeous moves were eye-catching.

"Good shot! After hitting the three-point shot, the difference came to 5 points, and Stephen Curry, next to Chen Mu, the first person in the league, has indeed made rapid progress! Now his ability to hold the ball has reached the level of tearing up the defense! ”

In the shouts of the commentators, the most subtle score difference in the basketball game appeared.

"5 points, the most difficult hurdle......!"

Beside Xiao Yu, the old reporter frowned and said: "The rookie team is going to come on, if the offense is not hit at this time, the score difference will continue to be pulled apart, and the game will be difficult to play in the future!" ”

"Attack ......!"

On the court, Gu Yu failed to defend Curry, which did not surprise Wall and others. Passing by the bench as he advanced, Anthony's shouts rang out.

"Clear the singles!"

“…… Got it! ”

Wall nodded, although he didn't quite understand why Anthony valued this hairstyle brother so much, but since the teaching assistant said so, then do it.

Pass!

The front court cleared one side, just like the running choice of the last attack in the first half, the rookie team completely cleared the space on the left side of the basket and left it to Gu Yu.

"It's far away with the ball."

This time, it was not the body madman DeRozan who defended Gu Yu, but Curry. Even if there is a difference in physical fitness, Curry's quick steals and alert judgment are also something that DeRozan does not have.

But Curry's efforts on physical entanglement are obviously not at home.

"Tentative step! Brother Hairstyle really doesn't admit defeat, he was blocked once before, and this time he returns to the offensive end, he still has to use a tentative step! ”

Gu Yu held the ball without saying a word, staring at the ground with his eyes, watching Curry's defensive footsteps, and stepped out of the first tentative step.

Very good......!

Seeing Gu Yu's tentative step, Anthony raised his arms slightly, and was greatly relieved.

Tentative steps are not a technique used to pursue "results", but a kind of "layout".

In Anthony's mind, he recalled the scene when he "opened a small stove" for Gu Yu before.

At halftime, Anthony pulled Gu Yu aside and used his own offense as an explanation, giving Gu Yu a vivid lesson.

"You defend the way you defend, it's okay."

Anthony pretends to have the ball in his hand and makes a ball protection move. Gu Yu saw the position of Anthony protecting the ball, stepped out and rushed forward, trying to steal.

“…… Rub! ”

Anthony's tentative step stepped out instantly, and landed right at Gu Yu's feet, Gu Yu hurriedly withdrew his body to block Anthony's breakthrough route, but the melon retracted the tentative step and stepped out in the opposite direction.

Is there a difference?

Gu Yu didn't quite understand what Anthony meant, but he still tried his best to defend and try his best to follow Anthony's footsteps to block the route.

Anthony stepped back and made a jumper.

"Got it?"

After doing this series of actions, Anthony looked at Gu Yu and asked.

"Uh...... I don't know you very well, do you believe it?? ”

Gu Yu scratched his head.

"It's okay, do it again."

Anthony was not in a hurry, and once again feigned holding the ball, this time in a different direction.

I'm broken!

Gu Yu began to predict the offensive route Anthony would take, and he wanted to break the ball with a forward pounce. Anthony stepped forward tentatively, Gu Yu could only retreat, and after leaving space, Anthony stepped in the opposite direction in the second step and broke through directly.

"I'm chasing...... it! ”

Gu Yu wanted to catch up, but he didn't know why, there was a problem when he deflected the center of gravity, and he slipped and fell to the ground.

"Got it?"

Anthony stopped and looked at Gu Yu.

"Uh......"

Gu Yu hadn't come back to his senses yet.

I...... Fell?

He didn't do anything great just now, why did I fall???

Recall that I saw him on the left side of his body, so my defensive focus was on my right side, in the same direction as he was on the ball. Then he tentatively stepped to my right, which was also his left point, and was on the outside of my outside instep, and I stepped back to chase ......

No problem!

Looking back, Gu Yu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his defense, all of this was the defensive foundation that the coach told him when he was practicing in China. Which side protects the ball, take which side as the focus of defense, and take into account the position of the court, try to drive the opponent to the bottom line as much as possible, and let the frame behind him to solve the problem.

Isn't that correct?

After that, he stepped in the opposite direction for the second step, and when I continued to chase, my left foot was too far apart, and the legs were so far apart that I couldn't control my weight, and then ......

"Wait......!"

Gu Yu seemed to understand something.

"Got it......?"

Anthony was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gu Yu to understand what he meant so quickly.

"Pretty much understood."

Gu Yu nodded: "Otherwise, you should be the defender, and I will test the step, you can see if I understand correctly?" ”

"Okay."

Anthony nodded, taking a defensive stance.

Layout.

In Gu Yu's mind, this word kept wandering.

The tentative step is not a static routine, it is not Anthony who first left and then right and then forward and then side, I must also do it in this order.

What tentative steps to make and what direction to take are not something that you have thought about at the beginning, but you must do it according to this idea and pursue that "result".

Nothing is guaranteed to happen, and it's not like if you take a step forward and the opponent will have enough space for you to shoot. It's not that if you take a tentative step to the right, the other party will definitely take a feint and go to the right, leaving room for you to break through on the left.

The real tentative step should be based on the opponent's defensive position and the position of the feet, to choose the direction of improvisation, and maximize the damage to the opponent's center of gravity.

In other words......

"The tentative step is a kind of layout."

Back on the court, in front of Gu Yu, Curry's defense was no problem, seeing Gu Yu protecting the ball on the left side, Curry stretched his right foot forward to block the route that deviated to the bottom line.

The reason is very simple, this side has been hollowed out, if Curry still follows the old way of thinking and drives Gu Yu to the bottom line, then when Gu Yu really goes to the bottom line, no one can help Curry to help defense.

On the contrary, at this time, Gu Yu should be driven to the middle lane, so that even if he is broken through, Gu Yu wants to make a move, and his teammates on the weak side can also retreat to help defend as soon as possible.

Defensively, the smart Curry didn't make any mistakes.

However, at this moment, the man standing opposite him had risen to a higher level.

"Rub ......!"

Leaning forward, Gu Yu's right foot is the axis, and his left foot is directly stepping on the outside of Gu Yu's right foot.

Traverse!

Curry reacted immediately and wanted to move his right foot to the right to block Gu Yu's route. But as soon as his right foot moved, he touched Gu Yu's left foot, so he could only quickly raise his foot, retreat half a step back, and quickly adjust his foot without landing in the air, stepping on the right side of Gu Yu's left foot.

A moment, only a moment.

“…… Sou! ”

Gu Yu, with his left foot retracted.

Left!

Curry's eyes were sharp like knives, watching Gu Yu's left foot retract and go directly to his left side, reflexively, Curry's right foot just landed, and his left foot got up, wanting to move sideways to chase.

"Don't think about it...... Damn it......?!!! ”

The moment his left foot lifted off the ground, Curry realized that he had hit the mark.

"Bang bang bang ......!"

On his side, Gu Yu dribbled like the wind, and after his left foot landed, his body came diagonally to the side, and he broke through to the middle with a step.

Curry wanted to follow, but his legs were already too separated, his right foot had not yet landed, and his left foot wanted to continue to stride to catch up, and his center of gravity leaned back with Gu Yu's breakthrough direction, and finally slipped under his feet and fell to the ground.

“…… Swish! ”

Behind him, Gu Yu flew up, and before the defense was in place, a flowing layup was successful.

Silence.

“…… Shake, shake down??? ”

Smith and Barkley couldn't believe their eyes, staring at Gu Yu's figure as they turned back to the defense, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Hairstyle brother, not good at dribbling, not good at shaking people's hairstyle brother, didn't make any great dribbling movements.

It's just a tentative step.

It's just the most basic tentative step.

Still......

“…… Shaken up, ahh!!h ”

The rookie bench, the shouting exploded directly.

"Cousin Hanging Hanging Hanging Hanging !!"

Cousins was as excited as a primary school student who had just gotten out of class, rushing all the way home to get his parents' mobile phone to hit the king, chasing Gu Yu all the way and shouting, like a gorilla who had just been successfully matched.

"How did you do it by relying on my cousin? How??? ”

Back on the defensive end, Cousins chased after Gu Yu and kept asking, but Gu Yu looked indifferent, waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you later, now...... Defend! ”

"Roar-!!"

The rookies rebounded, and the players roared in unison.

Gu Yu glanced at the bench.

"Good hairstyle, brother......!"

Carmelo Anthony gave Gu Yu a thumbs up.
