Chapter 46: The Great Counteroffensive Begins
The "Purple and Gold Dynasty" is really a wonderful team.
In a 10-minute game, 80% of the ball was in Mo Xiaoyu's hands, Zhang Hao handled more than 90% of the shots, and the unlucky Xia Lu was almost playing soy sauce the rest of the time except for grabbing two rebounds and touching the ball twice.
"The three monks have no water to drink", the self-righteous Zhang Hao, the arrogant Mo Xiaoyu, and the honest Xia Lu are the three monks who don't look at each other.
At the end of the first quarter, the "Purple and Gold Dynasty" trailed by a full 18 points by an astonishing 6:24, a gap that was basically the rhythm of surrendering in the amateur game.
But what's interesting is that the bench of the "Zijin Dynasty" is still unhurried and slow.
Liu Ben enthusiastically high-fived the players one by one, as if he was leading on the field.
Luo Yucheng played until his mobile phone ran out of battery, and then he reluctantly stood up and moved his muscles twice.
Lu Maoyun staggered onto the venue with a pair of blister eyes that couldn't wake up, yawning, stretching, and staggering onto the field.
These are the three people who will appear in the second quarter of the "Purple and Gold Dynasty".
At a cursory glance, it's like three passers-by watching the excitement.
However, no matter how lazy they are off the field, as long as they stand on the court, a strong oppressive force will arise.
Liu Ben, who is 206 cm, Luo Yucheng, who is 190 cm, and Lu Maoyun, who is 180 cm, are simply visitors from another world compared to the three who just ended.
Roy had already figured out a countermeasure at the end of the first quarter, and in the remaining 10 minutes, he had to hold on to his 18-point advantage, even if it was ugly.
He even calculated the time, according to the 30 seconds limit for attacking at a time in amateur matches, if we use the time to the limit each time, the opponent's attack time will only be 5 minutes at most.
In the last 5 minutes, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of the opponent's attack and limit their inside scoring, so the most suitable defensive tactic is zone defense.
I don't know which genius invented defensive tactics that can control the interior to the greatest extent and achieve the effect that one plus one is greater than two.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the "Purple and Gold Dynasty" attacked first, and according to Roy's tactics, the three players of the "Derrick Rose Fan Club" shrank into the penalty area together, forming a close encirclement of Liu Ben.
Liu Ben, Luo Yucheng and Lu Maoyun are all "veterans" who have been in the basketball world for more than ten years, and they understood the opponent's intentions at once.
Obviously, Roy's side expected that the "Zijin Dynasty" would take advantage of Liu Ben's height advantage to fight the inside, so he adopted the tactics of regional joint defense.
But, will Roy's tactics really work?
I saw that Liu Ben gave Luo Yucheng a color, and Luo Yu sincerely understood.
He dribbled twice from beyond the three-point line and took the shot in stride.
Pointers? If Roy only theoretically judged that shooting three-point shots is the best countermeasure, then Wang Jie and Cheng Zixuan, who have many years of basketball experience, are much clearer that in amateur games, even if they are trained outside pitchers, it is difficult to achieve a three-point shooting rate of 30%.
This is the biggest reason why zonal defense is so useful in amateur matches.
Is Luo Yucheng gambling on the feel?
"Huh." His goal responded to everything.
Luo Yucheng scored a three-pointer in his first offense! If memory serves, it was Roy's first three-pointer in two days, 9:24.
"He's just lucky, brace himself."
Roy shouted encouragement to his teammates for the first time, that is, Roy felt nervous.
Luck? Luo Yucheng sneered at Roy's remarks.
He may not be as famous, so flamboyant, and so memorable as Leng Yihan, but in terms of basketball level, he will definitely not lose to Leng Yihan, or in other words, if he is only better than Leng Yihan in terms of offensive ability.
If Leng Yihan is compared to the James of amateur basketball, then Luo Yucheng must be Anthony.
It's a pity that not many people on the scene know Luo Yucheng, he is neither high-profile nor flashy, he is just an ordinary high school star, he only has solid basic skills, intimidating basic skills.
Roy's first offense of the second quarter from the "Derrick Rose Supporters' Club" executed Roy's tactics, and in the final 2 seconds, Roy forced a shot that missed the frame.
The rebound was firmly grabbed by Liu Ben.
The ball was handed over to Luo Yucheng, or he led the attack, Roy still put three points on his side, Luo Yucheng was happy to laugh at the empty gift, steady shot, steady hollow, 12:24.
It couldn't be, Roy was a little shaken, it wasn't like luck, and in less than 1 minute, the opponent recovered 6 points.
If this continues, Luo Yucheng's three points will immediately smooth out the difference.
"Wang Jie, you go and keep an eye on this No. 7 (Luo Yucheng)."
Roy immediately made a change, changing his tactics to a defensive strategy of combining zones and marking, similar to the way the "post-80s" dealt with themselves in the preliminaries.
But why choose Wang Jie? Roy's consideration is that if Cheng Zixuan is allowed to defend Luo Yucheng, who is 15 centimeters higher than himself, it will be useless, and if he goes out, the forbidden area will form a serious disaster area.
That's only Wang Jie, can "Westbrook" prevent "Anthony"?
The second attack of the "Derrick Rose Supporters' Club" ended negatively again.
Liu Ben gave the rebound to Luo Yucheng.
It was Luo Yucheng's turn to perform for the third time.
Of course, this time it has increased a little difficulty, and there is one more Wang Jie in front of him.
Wang Jie didn't wait for Luo Yucheng to hold the ball and swooped it up.
Is that a sign of respect for me? Luo Yucheng smiled.
"I've seen your game." Wang Jie said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "As long as you defend closely, your hit rate will become miserable, right?" ”
Wang Jie's words are true, he is one of the few players in the audience who knows Luo Yucheng.
In the finals of the Shanghai Division of the National High School Basketball Competition for two consecutive years, Wang Jie went to watch the game, although Ya'an is a fish belly team, but this does not affect Wang Jie's desire for the championship.
He shares his idol Russell Westbrook's hunger for victory.
He won't miss the final.
For two consecutive years, Luo Yucheng lost to Leng Yihan, except for the gap between the team's strength, Luo Yucheng's performance was unsatisfactory in the face of Leng Yihan.
The most critical point is that Luo Yucheng does not have a strong body like Leng Yihan and the desire to impact the inside, and his attack is elegant and accurate.
Therefore, in the face of Leng Yihan's almost unreasonable close pressing, his hit rate was spent, and the Nanhai Model Middle School, which had a collapsed core, naturally suffered a fiasco defeat to the invincible Fifty-Seven Middle School.
Wang Jie is right, Luo Yucheng doesn't know his weaknesses.
Even before the start of this summer, he began to work hard day and night to practice his shooting more accurately, to overcome his weaknesses in shooting percentage in interference, and more importantly, to change his style of play.
Unexpectedly turned around and broke through, Luo Yucheng leapfrogged Wang Jie in one step.
The surprised Wang Jie hurriedly stepped back to defend, but at this moment, Luo Yucheng also made a step back and made a jump shot.
Elegant posture, perfect arc, steady and amazing rhythm, the ball obediently rolled into the net, two points, 14:24.
Luo Yucheng learns to hold the ball and play singles!
