Chapter 149: Wolves from the Northwest (Part II)
When faced with a wolf, the hunter may feel that this thing is really similar to a husky; In the face of two wolves, the hunter will be careful of attacks from behind, because it is said that the wolf will put its paws on the shoulders of the prey from behind, and when the prey turns back to reveal the vital point of the neck, it will directly bite off the neck of the prey; In the face of the three wolves, the hunter will pray that he should have the strength and physique of a brown bear; And in the face of dozens of wolves, then the hunter should pray that he can have a repeating spear with infinite bullets in his hand.
The wolf is perhaps the most closely related wild animal in the history of human evolution.
The term "lone wolf" is often used to describe the behavior of certain people, and regardless of the nature of the word, on the other hand, the wolf itself can only play its role under the group.
Wang Lei has indeed seen wolves, but all he has seen is a "pet" wolf like a leper dog with hair falling out of the zoo, but Wang Lei believes that the tactics that his team is going to play at the beginning of the third quarter can be called "wolf pack tactics".
In fact, there is no fixed routine for this tactic, and no famous team has ever played it in the time and space of the earth, and it is even said that this is Wang Lei's original, a pursuit of the extreme concept of basketball.
After the players of both sides came on the court in the third quarter, everyone noticed that the playing lineup and starting lineup of the Frontier youth team had changed a lot.
Hawul, who performed well in the first half, did not appear in the lineup, but Sun Dexun, who had been on the bench before, came on the field, in addition to this change, Wang Lei also put another projection-oriented outside player in the team, Si Junwei, on the court.
In this way, all five players on the court of the Frontier Youth Team have very good mobility and very good shooting ability.
The North American youth team was the starting lineup at the start of the game, but the starting center, Robert? Lee's expression was unsightly, and he felt that he had been attacked by a combination of his manager and his teammates.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Frontier Youth Team served first.
Turgun drove the ball quickly to the frontcourt, and the defenders of the North American youth team immediately pressed up, and they did not dare to let Turgun shoot a three-pointer at will.
However, Turgun didn't dribble much at all, and passed the ball directly to Cai Aihong at the top of the three-point line.
Robert? Li didn't post Cai Aihong on defense, he knew that this player who was more than two meters tall had a very poor confrontation ability, and it seemed that the range did not reach beyond the three-point line, so he put Cai Aihong at a distance of about one and a half meters to prevent the opponent from breaking through and preparing for the rotation.
But Cai Aihong did not hesitate at all after receiving the ball, and shot directly outside the three-point line, which made Robert? Lee didn't have the slightest defensive preparation.
For a long time, Cai Aihong's image to the outside world is that he has a stable mid-range shot, active running, and excellent endurance, but his confrontation ability is very poor, and his defense is sparse, and no one will ever think that he is a shooter who has a range beyond the three-point line, because he has always been the highest interior line in the Frontier Youth Team, and in the current basketball environment, it is everyone's consensus that the interior does not need to shoot three-pointers.
However, thinking about it the other way, Cai Aihong's height is actually just over two meters, which is only the height of a striker in many teams.
This inherent image coupled with Wang Lei's deliberate refusal to let Cai Aihong shoot from outside the three-point line in the game caused the current situation, and the real situation is that Cai Aihong has always had a range outside the three-point line, and he has not relaxed his three-point training in his daily training.
Cai Aihong's three-pointer helped the Frontier Youth Team stretch the gap to six points.
It took less than six seconds for an attack to go from serve to shot, which was a bit of a frustration for the North American youth players, so they had a lot of trouble serving the baseline ball next.
Cai Aihong, who shot three points, and all the players of the Frontier Youth Team did not retreat to defend as usual, but all of them pressed the opposing players thoroughly.
Cai Aihong even rushed directly to the eyes of the North American youth team players who served the baseline ball, waving his hands and constantly interfering.
Some of the North American youth teams had already rushed to the opposing half, only to find themselves at the back of the court that they couldn't even get the ball.
Zhu Guoqing reacted quickly and immediately retreated, but at this time it was close to five seconds, and the North American youth team player who served the baseline ball could have called a short timeout to relieve the crisis, but he was frightened by the sudden change of the frontier youth team, seeing that the referee's fingers around him had stretched out four, he had to panic and throw the ball to Robert, who was at the top of the three-point arc? Lee, after all, he is still quite high on the field.
Robert? Li saw the ball flying towards him and immediately turned around and prepared to catch the ball, but at this time, Wang Zhaohui killed in the oblique stab, Wang Zhaohui's judgment was very accurate, in Robert? Lee took the ball away the moment he received it.
Wang Zhaohui, who completed the steal, did not give it to Robert? Lee created a foul opportunity when he didn't dribble the ball at all, but threw it straight to the basket.
Cai Aihong, who had just interfered with the serve under the basket, immediately jumped to complete the empty catch.
The difference between the two teams was stretched to eight points.
The crowd on the sidelines let out an earth-shattering cheer, and the Frontier Youth Team attacked the prey from all angles like wolves preying on its prey, an extreme tactic that made everyone's scalps tingle.
Coach Gao Ming couldn't sit still at this time, he pressed with both hands to signal the players to stabilize and not be brought up by the opponent, and the poorly prepared North American youth team players could not be the opponent of the Frontier Youth Team at all.
The Frontier youth team players who completed this attack still did not retreat to defend as others thought, they were still very extreme full-court pressing, and every player was struggling to block and run, almost blocking all the service lines of the North American youth team.
However, this time, the North American youth team recovered its spirit a little, and after wishing the National Day and Robert's repeated pulling, the North American youth team finally sent a baseline ball.
As soon as the opponent sent out the baseline ball, the players of the Frontier Youth Team all retreated to defend and no longer had any entanglement.
Walking like a gale, if you move, you will save the enemy, and if you return, you will be clean, I have to say that this style of the frontier youth team is very similar to the wolves.
The North American youth team, which finally stabilized the situation, slowly advanced to the frontcourt. Lee was once again in the inside position, but as soon as the North American youth team showed their intention to pass the ball to Robert, the Frontier youth team almost did not hesitate to wrap it up immediately.
However, Zhu Guoqing, who had little effect in the first half, used his teammates' cover to run directly to catch the ball and hit a big two-point shot, which was a little stable for the team.
