Chapter 116: The Wolf and the Tiger (4)
Hawul played very depressed today, he couldn't find the feeling of the previous game, the defense couldn't be prevented, the rebounds couldn't be grabbed, he made his own strength, but the opponent's center was as flexible as a loach, not affected by his force at all, and the opponent's mid-range shot was also very accurate, and now the game has only played for most of the quarter, but Hawul already has a feeling of exhaustion.
The difference between the two sides has been hovering between four and six points, although the frontier team has maintained a good hit rate, especially the Turgun bunny, this guy can still maintain a stable shot in the face of Zhao Yongji's tough defense, but the offense of the Guangdong Youth Team is also very good, Hong Kai showed his comprehensive interior ability, flexible footsteps, stable mid-range shooting, and Zhao Yongji, although he was repeatedly scored by Turgon, but Zhao Yongji also showed his impact in the offense, frequently impacting the basket to score, In order to ensure that he does not bear the burden of fouls, Turgun can only watch the opponent rush to the basket, or score directly to the basket, or score with Hong Kai.
The offensive and defensive rhythm of the two sides is getting faster and faster, which is the rhythm that the frontier team is used to, but this time the youth team of Guangdong Province is also performing with ease.
Li Baofeng, the head coach of the Guangdong Provincial Youth Team, looked at Wang Lei, who had been standing on the other side of the field, on the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, compared to Wang Lei, Li Baofeng, who is in his early forties, is already imagining his future career.
Li Baofeng was also a player when he was young, but compared with Wang Lei's brilliant career, Li Baofeng's career can be regarded as obscure, but after retiring, Li Baofeng chose to go to North America for further study, and began his coaching career there, from the initial high school coach, to the later assistant coach of a famous school, Li Baofeng took a full six years to get to today, last year, he accepted the teammate of the year, and now he is the leader of the basketball department of the Guangdong Provincial Sports Management Center. resolutely returned to his hometown with his North American system team.
Favorable conditions, coupled with enough basic player system, Li Baofeng and his team led the youth team of Guangdong Province to enter the finals of the National Games with a complete victory, if he can lead the team to achieve good results in the subsequent games, then there should be a professional team to hire him, so for this youth team competition, Li Baofeng attaches great importance to it, he has done detailed research on the sixteen promotion teams, for the frontier youth team, his understanding is a second-rate team with characteristics, Li Baofeng thinks that as long as they can adapt to the rhythm of the other party, then the final victory of the game must be theirs, and for Wang Lei's coaching ability, Li Baofeng is a little scoffed, he thinks that Wang Lei's luck is good, and he has found such a talented player as Turgon, as for the team's tactics, it is a bit characteristic at best.
Li Baofeng's mentality is stable, and Wang Lei's side is not so flustered, although he has been walking around the sidelines, but he is still satisfied with the team's current situation, at least the team does not have too many loopholes, and the next game depends on whether the players can hold on.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, the two sides rotated personnel, Wang Lei was more cautious, replacing the three people who were more physically tight, such as Hawul, and Cai Aihong and Turgun, who had a good hand, continued to keep up with the youth team of Guangdong Province on the field.
Another time, Li Baofeng was very bold, only Zhao Yongji was not replaced as the starter on the field, and everyone else was rested.
Li Baofeng actually knows that the physical strength of the frontier team is very good, so he must adjust the physical strength distribution of the players, like Hong Kai, who has been consuming a lot of physical strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, must go to rest, although it is possible to be caught up by the opponent and overtake the score next, but Li Baofeng does not care about the gains and losses of such a little time, he values the situation of the whole game more.
In the last two minutes of the first quarter of the game, Turgun and Cai Aihong played consecutive blocks and dismantled cooperation, Turgun hit a three-pointer and a two-pointer, and Cai Aihong relied on his height advantage to score two and one under the basket.
The Guangdong Provincial Youth Team was a little nervous after the substitute lineup, and there were mistakes in the attack, and the score was overtaken by the Frontier Youth Team by four points at the last moment.
However, after the start of the second quarter of the game, Wang Lei replaced Turgun and Cai Aihong, Sun Dexun's speed is really good, but the overall strength of the frontier youth team is indeed not as good as the opponent, they made repeated mistakes under the opponent's tight defense, not only the four-point advantage was lost in less than two minutes, but also only three points in the next four minutes, and the Guangdong Province Youth Team played a 14-3 offensive climax, and the difference between the two sides was stretched to double digits for the first time.
Faced with such a situation, Wang Lei had to replace Turgun and Cai Aihong in advance, and Sun Dexun, who did not perform well, was still on the field.
After this substitution, the frontier youth team was controlled by Sun Dexun, Turgun played the scoring guard, still in the power forward position, although Hawul struggled, but he had to continue to defend the opponent's core Hong Kai.
The youth team of Guangdong Province showed very good strength in the previous game, they may not have played particularly strongly, but this performance has a kingly demeanor, like a tiger watching its prey, no one dares to underestimate their momentum.
In contrast, the Frontier Youth Team is much inferior, except for Turgun and Cai Aihong, the others have almost no points and effective statistics.
Unconsciously, the players of the frontier youth team began to be a little impatient, although Turgun was still accurate, but his shots began to be a little disregardful of the situation, and the choice of some shooting timing made Wang Lei feel a little scared, and Cai Aihong also changed his previous stable mid-range shooting and did not drag the mud and water, and began to squeeze towards the basket.
Although the score difference was not widened again, Wang Lei felt the unfavorable situation, and he had to call a timeout again to adjust the situation, and the previous tactics of letting Turgun and Cai Aihong attack could no longer be played.
"The opponent's tactics are very good, our previous arrangement is now useless, and the next thing I think is to increase the firepower, Turgon, you have to run more aggressively, run to dangerous places, run to places where the opponent has a lot of people, drive your defenders, and make the opponent's defensive position chaotic. Lao Cai, you also have to move, in the defense, you have to start with Hawul to wrap the opponent's Hong Kai, when necessary, start when necessary, can't let him score easily, others, have the opportunity to shoot bravely, Hawul, rebounding, next your task is very heavy, to control the rebounding, and the opponent's Hong Kai collided, his strength is a disadvantage, you have to grab the position reasonably. ”
