"The long-awaited race has finally begun!" In one corner of the arena, in addition to the supporters of Siyuan and Huili, there were also other guests, namely Zhou Junyi and Zhu Yunting, Chen Chuanhao and Qin Shanhai, the three of Xinli Secondary School who were defeated by Siyuan's team.

Whaley is not a team with good speed, after steadily advancing to the frontcourt, Han Chongyu, who has already been in position, faced Mu Zheng, and the two defenders formed a one-on-one trend just after they came on the field.

In terms of speed, Mu Zheng is completely inferior to Han Chongyu, of course he knows this, but in terms of physique, Han Chongyu is far from Mu Zheng's opponent. Fighting the enemy's weakness with one's own strength is a truth that any smart fighter understands, and although he repeatedly put pressure on Mu Zheng, the difference in strength made Han Chongyu gradually lose his defensive position.

When it seemed to be the right position, Mu Zheng turned over suddenly, showing a shooting trend, Han Chongyu quickly followed up and jumped high, blocking Mu's shooting line, who expected that Mu Zheng suddenly changed hands in the air, threw the ball high behind Han Chongyu, near the basket, and focused everyone's attention on that point in an instant, the big black shadow that jumped up in the crowd smashed the ball into the frame with both hands, and the big black shadow was naturally a powerful center with the title of "Thunder" Lei Kefeng, and Huili took the lead 2:0.

I wanted to give Hui Li a dismount first, but who would have thought that this kind of treatment would fall on him first, Zhuo looked displeased, and thought: "Okay, you are a thunder wind, completely ignoring the existence of Ben Siyuan's inner guardian!" I'm going to give you a good look", he ran to the front court alone, stretched out his hands and asked for the ball: "Give it to me, give it to me!" ”

said that it was too late, and Han Chongyu, who had just received a pass from his teammates' bottom line, actually handed the ball to Zhuo who was alone in the front court with a long pass.

A vertically jumping one-arm slam dunk, "This is the first wonderful performance of Siyuan's blockbuster smasher Zhuo in the semifinals!" After Zhuo Chao's long slam dunk declaration, Siyuan quickly recovered the score.

"Siyuan is really a team with a very fast counterattack!" Qin Shanhai in the audience slapped his leg violently, full of praise for Siyuan's counterattack.

"Hehe, you know it's amazing! His Highness the Great Grizzly Bear! Zhuo, who finished the dunk, couldn't help it, and from time to time compared the action of slamming the dunk just now to Lei Kefeng, as if to say: "I will do this too." ”

"Grizzly bear?" The short-tempered Lei Kefeng was a little angry when he heard Zhuo's slander, but fortunately he was stopped by Bai Chuan, so he stopped his anger: "Don't be like him, the game is important." ”

Between the words, Whaley's Yan Hongming couldn't shoot, and the ball bounced into the air.

"Rebounding!" Zhuo Gao jumped high and tried to take off the rebound in the front court, but when his hand was about to touch the ball, it was the big black shadow rising up behind him who forcibly picked up the rebound from the air with both hands.

"How is it possible, I've already jumped very high!" Zhuo, who has always been confident in his bounce power, was actually rebounded by his opponent out of thin air at the highest point, which is indeed a great blow to his confidence.

"Bang!" It was another vigorous two-handed slam dunk, and the four points of the Whaley team all came from Lei Kefeng's slam dunk.

"Don't think that Lei Kefeng has this weight of 107 kilograms, his bounce power is also very remarkable!" Bai Chuan smiled and patted Zhuo who was still in a daze on the side.

"Zhuo, why are you in a daze?" The fast attack that could have been organized lost the opportunity because of Zhuo's stunnedness.

Relying on the advantage of speed, Han Chongyu temporarily got rid of Mu Zheng's defense and rushed into the inner line, and he would face the interception of the two iron towers, and there were still chasing soldiers behind, so he was forced to helplessly Han Chongyu took half a step back, a high point throw, and the ball was covered by Lei Kefeng when it was close to the highest point.

Han Chongyu was not moved by the cover at all, but received the ball under the cover without making any adjustments, relying on his dexterous skills, and rushed inward again, and the Lei Kefeng who fell was already out of reach, but fortunately, there was still Bai Chuan's interception behind.

Han Chongyu jumped high and was about to go to the basket, Bai Chuan also jumped, the super long arm caused great difficulties for Han Chongyu's change of hand, and in desperation, he could only twist his body twice in the air, relying on excellent body flexibility, his body actually began to move sideways, bypassing Bai Chuan's body, Han stretched his arm as much as he could, and hit a layup with a low hand from Bai Chuan's armpit, and struggled to tie the score again.

The falling Han turned his head and glanced at Mu Zheng coldly, and sent a challenge signal, as if to say: "Can you do such a goal?" ”

The audience was still amazed by this goal, and they all discussed: "Who is this defender!" That's amazing! ”

"How could you make such a move, how could you never see this person before?"

Si Yuan, who quickly retreated, was not able to block Mu Zheng's offensive, and the first step into the penalty area knocked Han Chongyu away, and the moment Han fell, his eyes were open, he never thought that he would be knocked away so easily. Mu Zheng was about to make a three-step layup, but he encountered the blockade of the center Peng Chenzhi, relying on his strong physique, he did not fall behind in the air at all, and even had a slight upper hand, and resisted the center 5 cm higher than himself in the air, the same low-handed board, Mu Zheng also took the lead again with color, Huili 6:4.

"Isn't that a foul? It's too deceitful, it's too much! Yu Yueyin, a teammate on the bench, couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to plead.

"It's true that Han Chongyu himself is not completely in place! This is not a foul. "That being said, although he has an advantage in speed, the huge gap in physique makes Han Chongyu feel difficult in both offense and defense, and if this situation continues to the second half, I don't know if his physical strength can support it, which can't help but make coach Li Xiaolong worried.

Fortunately, Xia Jun entered the state in time and shared Han Chongyu's burden a little, and Si Yuan recovered the score for the third time.

Han, who gradually became accustomed to Mu Zheng's offensive style, also actively adopted his own defensive style - using speed to constantly create pressure on Mu Zheng when Mu Zheng received and passed the ball, this move really worked, and after experiencing the passivity of the opening, Si Yuan began to switch from defense to offense.

The rebound in state seems to be infected to every Siyuan player, Yang Jinglong's mid-range shot, Xia Jun's three points, and Han Chongyu's breakthrough have all been successful repeatedly. Halfway through the first half, after experiencing a bad start, Siyuan actually took a 22:12 ten-point lead. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, around forty, the high-spirited Huili sect leader Gu Chenglai finally couldn't sit still and asked Huili for the first timeout.

can serve as the head of the famous and powerful in the city, and the origin of Gu Chenglai is naturally not small. Five years ago, he was the assistant coach of the city's first-class Sharks youth team, and then he was promoted to the main coach of the senior team, and after helping the head coach of the Sharks senior team win the CBA championship three years ago, he was invited to coach the unlucky Whaley team with a high salary, and in just one year, Whaley, who stopped in the round of 16, returned to the final four.

Over there, Gu Chenglai was giving the players some guidance, and Li Xiaolong was not idle here: "Your performance just now was very good, and you can see that your strength is not inferior to the top three teams in the city." ”

"Always remember that you are strong!"

"Keep your mind, be arrogant!" Between words, Li Xiaolong glanced at Han Chongyu, who was already a little short of breath after only ten minutes of the game.

"Yang Jinglong, you rest for a while! Chi Shengwei, you're on! ”

"Why didn't you replace Han Chongyu, who was already a little tired, but replaced Yang Jinglong, who was in a state?" Ling Junxiao in the audience was quite puzzled by the coach's intentions.

In the previous game, Li Xiaolong, who was successful in the deployment of troops at critical moments again and again, seemed to have made a wrong choice this time, after the pause, because Han Chongyu's physical strength declined, the entire Siyuan team fell into a period of decline, and replaced Yang Jinglong with Chi Shengwei, who was not good at attacking, and did not play much role in defense, on the contrary, the Huili team after the pause burst out with full stamina, and repeatedly relied on the advantage of height to recover lost points in Siyuan's inner line, and Siyuan, who originally lacked firepower, was replaced by Yang Jinglong, the offense is even more unfavorable, relying only on Xia Jun's long-range shot and Han Chongyu's layup to maintain an increasingly slim lead. And in the end, before halftime, he could no longer resist the wheeling troika of Whaley: under Mu Zheng's strong burst into no one's land, Lei Kefeng's thunderous slam dunk, and Shirakawa's erratic fast hand shot, Siyuan completely fell into passivity in the second half of the first half, and the original 10-point lead disappeared after halftime, not to mention a net loss of 5 points, ending the first half of the game 40:45.

"Coach, why don't you replace Chong Yu! Don't you see that he's tired? At halftime, Peng Chenzhi finally explained the players' incomprehension.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure, Chong Yu is far from reaching the level of fatigue, but you can't be without a core on the field, remember what I told you? If Han Chongyu is out of the field, who will be the core of the team, how can a team without a leader win, don't forget that you are facing the top three team in the city, Whaley High School! ”

Li Xin, who was listening on the side, suddenly realized: "Indeed, I am still far from Brother Chongyu, and I am far from being the leader of the team!" If I replace Brother Chongyu, I may be able to alleviate the temporary disadvantage, but in the long run, the team that has lost its core will eventually become a scattered mess! ”

"And the father chooses the players on the court through one-on-one methods, and the players who can't score at critical moments, what else is there to rely on? The core may be the player who makes the rest of the team feel that they can rely on, who must take on the team's offensive and defensive responsibilities at critical moments, even when they are tired, and even if they are behind, they must not make the difference of 10 points, and can I do all of this? If you don't trust yourself, how can you get your teammates to trust you? ”

"Okay, you don't have to look at the scoreboard, just play every ball seriously, and the lead will come back to our side." Li Xiaolong just said a few words, but it seemed to reassure every team member, and his level could only be fully played when there was no pressure.

The whistle reminded that Siyuan's starting five tigers had re-entered the playing field, and it was the crucial second-half battle that was coming.
