Chapter 11 Selected for the List
Time flies by in hell's training, and today is November 6th, and the league starts in a week.
As the league draws closer, the official roster is about to be submitted to NCAA officials.
At this time, everyone was a little anxious, and in the team confrontation, the confrontation became more and more intense, and small actions became more and more frequent.
Everyone wants to beat their competitors at this last moment and get their names on the list.
After the warm-up today, the head coach Lao K, the three assistant coaches, and a group of staff all came to the court, each holding a data sheet in their hands.
Lao K clapped his hands and said that today's intra-team competition will adopt the rules and time of the official game.
As soon as they saw this posture, the players immediately understood that they were afraid that the determination of the squad would be today.
Zhang Zifeng clenched his fists, today is the last chance, we must seize the opportunity.
In intramural matches, players who were previously divided into main and substitute players are divided into two teams.
The main lineup is: Cook, Hood, Parker, Jefferson, Marshall Plumlee;
The bench lineup is: Tyler Thornton, Green, Hairston, Vince Law, Knight;
Zhang Zifeng and these reserve players stood on the bench.
Looking at the players who took off their coats and walked onto the court, Zhang Zifeng was very envious, when would he be able to become a starter like them.
Especially seeing Hood become the starter, Zhang Zifeng can't wait to appear immediately, and then beat this guy in the game.
Bastard, don't give Lao Tzu a chance, otherwise you will definitely blow you up, press you to the bench, and you can only watch Lao Tzu be in the limelight.
The game officially began, jumping the ball, and Plumlee won the ball for the main force.
Hood grabbed the basketball that Plumlee had slapped, and as soon as he reached the three-point line in the frontcourt, he jumped up and hit a three-pointer without waiting for his teammates to settle down.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zifeng thought silently in his heart.
"Keep striking iron, it's better to be an iron god. In this way, Lao Tzu's opportunity came. ”
It's a pity that when Zhang Zifeng was disappointed, the goal was scored cleanly.
For the next game, Hood took over the game.
Scored 11 points in a row with free throws.
Green on the bench was no match for Rodney at all, and the score was stretched to 46-34 under Hood's wave of goals.
Lao K on the sidelines was very dissatisfied when he saw it, Green on the bench team couldn't prevent Rodney at all, and if it went on like this, it would become Hood's personal performance, and how to inspect the players.
Old K looked back at the player in the reserve and thought about the time to change to the field.
Robinson!
He can't, he might as well be Green!
Thomas!
Although the height is enough, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up with Hood's speed, and I will not play a big role.
It wasn't until Lao K saw Zhang Zifeng that his eyes lit up.
During this time, Zhang Zifeng's efforts have been watched by Lao K.
Although he doesn't like this Chinese, Lao K likes players who work hard.
During this time, he has been working hard to improve his strength, maybe he can be given a chance to see how much his strength has improved!
Old K shouted, "Jack, get ready to play!" ”
Zhang Zifeng, who was in a hurry, was stunned for a moment when he heard someone shouting his name.
Zhang Zifeng was not sure, so he asked. "Are you calling me?"
Old K said, "Don't you want to play?" ”
"No, no, no! I want to play! Zhang Zifeng hurriedly took off his coat and ran to the sidelines, ready to play.
The old K called a timeout and replaced Green.
When Zhang Zifeng came on the field, Lao K shouted beside him, "After you come on the field, you are mainly responsible for defending Hood." If you don't do a good job, I'll replace you right away! Do you understand? ”
"No problem, coach, I'll do it!" Zhang Zifeng was overjoyed when he heard that he was going to confront Hood.
Thornton's layup was blocked by Plumlee, and Hood received the pass and raced forward with the ball.
Zhang Zifeng, who had been prepared for a long time, took the first step to stand in a good position and did not give Hood a chance to go to the basket directly.
Looking at Zhang Zifeng in front of him, Hu Deman was full of disdain.
Defeated, why be afraid!
Hood changed direction, accelerated and wanted to hit the inside hard.
Just when Hu De was about to start, Zhang Zifeng, who he thought was useless, suddenly stabbed Zhang Zifeng's hand forward.
Syllable!
The ball in Hood's hand was slapped off by Zhang Zifeng.
Substitute Thornton saw it, scooped up the ball and ran forward.
Quickly enter the penalty area. Facing Parker, who was returning to the defense, Thornton passed to Zhang Zifeng who followed with a blow.
Such a good opportunity, how could Zhang Zifeng miss it.
jumped off and slammed the dunk, and the basket swayed under Zhang Zifeng's pull.
After landing on the ground, Zhang Zifeng roared loudly at Hu De, venting his suppressed emotions.
"See, garbage!"
Seeing the Chinese Yankees who had been crushed by themselves, daring to yell at him, Hu Deqi's veins almost burst.
Running to the frontcourt, Hood yelled at Cook. "Pass it to me!"
When Cook heard this, he laughed secretly, it seemed that this guy was angry and wanted to take revenge.
Anyway, now that I'm ahead, it's time to watch the show.
Cook passes the ball to Hood.
After receiving the ball, Hood decided to change his attack plan and beat the opponent in the way he did best.
There are no fancy, and the back force hits backwards.
"Bump, bump, bump!"
The most direct power dialogue unfolded between Zhang Zifeng and Hu De.
Every time he hit Zhang Zifeng, he could feel the pain in his chest, but that pain stimulated Zhang Zifeng's fighting spirit even more.
Zhang Zifeng stuck Hood's waist and tried his best to resist and prevent him from pushing the inside line.
Zhang Zifeng behind him did not move at all, and Hood was very surprised.
Obviously, he has realized that Zhang Zifeng is no longer the guy he was before. His confrontation has improved a lot.
The old K on the sidelines was obviously stunned, obviously he also felt incredible.
Hood, who played in the NCAA for a year, was very experienced, and quickly adjusted, stepping back and making a jumper.
Step-back jumpers are inherently difficult to defend, especially when the opponent adds a little back-up, which is generally even more difficult to defend.
Just when Hood thought that the ball was there, in an instant, Zhang Zifeng took off like a rocket, and his outstretched hand touched the ball.
The ball didn't reach the top and fell!
When Hu De saw it, he clapped his hands angrily and glared at Zhang Zifeng angrily: "Damn bastard!" ”
I didn't have this feeling before, but now Zhang Zifeng likes defense.
Watching the opponent in his own defense, when the attack failed again and again, that frustrated, angry expression, really cool!
Substitute center Vince Law grabbed the basketball and made a long pass to Thornton, who rushed to the front.
Thornton catches the ball and goes straight to the basket.
The score difference has narrowed further.
At 27 minutes and 34 seconds, Hood took advantage of Jefferson's blocking, ran to the inside to receive the ball, and stuck Zifeng, Hood took his left foot as the axis, shook off Zhang Zifeng with three consecutive feints, and hooked his hand.
At 30 minutes and 17 seconds, Hood stood near the free throw line and faced Zhang Zifeng, the ball landed, and he dribbled alternately with his left and right hands.
Zhang Zifeng didn't go up, allowing himself to keep a half-step distance from Hood. Slightly hunched back, staggered front and back feet, and engrossed in the ball.
Seeing that Zhang Zifeng did not rush up to grab it, Hood made a force with his left foot and cut directly into Zhang Zifeng's left side.
Seeing Hood's movements, Zhang Zifeng unhurriedly suppressed his center of gravity, took a step back, and immediately slid to successfully block Hood's cut.
Hood couldn't make a breakthrough and could only pass the ball out, allowing Cook to organize the attack again.
In this defense, Zhang Zifeng's rapid pace change made Lao K nod slightly, and this Chinese has greatly improved in defense.
At 37 minutes and 22 seconds, Zhang Zifeng risked trying to break Hood's ball, but the ball did not break and the position was lost again.
Hood scored the ball with an easy layup.
Collinson saw it on the sidelines and roared, "I said you can't rely on luck to defend, don't you have ears?" If you dare to do that, I'll let you skate a hundred times! “
At 38 minutes and 52 seconds, Hood saw that he couldn't push inside, so he immediately turned around and stepped back to make a jumper.
When he was shooting, he noticed a big palm between his vision and the basketball.
Zhang Zifeng used his senior brother Battier's mastery - covering the defensive ultimate.
Hood's vision was obstructed, and he could only throw the ball by feeling.
The ball didn't go in, and Zhang Zifeng grabbed the ball.
At the end of the game, Zhang Zifeng played 17 minutes, shooting 2 of 9, scoring 4 points, 2 rebounds, and 4 assists. Although the stats look ordinary, he successfully froze Hood, who had performed well before, after coming on the court.
Hood had 19 points, five rebounds and three assists, and the stats looked beautiful. But many of the 19 points were cut in the first half, and after Zhang Zifeng came on the court, he shot 2 of 9 and 1 of 2 free throws, and only scored 4 points.
Hood was frozen by Zhang Zifeng in the second half, but the main team has Parker, the real core of the Blue Devils.
He played 32 minutes and had 21 points, eight rebounds, and 12 assists, a near-triple-double to help the main team win the game 88-75.
During the game, Lao K and the three assistant coaches gathered around to discuss the squad.
Parker is bound to be on the list, point guards Cook and Thornton are very good, and there is no objection to the selection of interior Plumlee, Jefferson, Vince Law, and Knight.
Then several players were discussing and being added to the squad by Lao K.
When discussing the player who scored the guard, the old K frowned.
Hood? Zhang Zifeng? Green?
Wojciechovski, the assistant coach in charge of tactics, spoke first: "Hood is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of scoring, and Green is not bad. Although Hood's performance was a little worse today, I think it was more important to be careless. And he has a year of NCAA experience, which helps him get into the game as soon as possible. I think the main force is still Hood is more suitable! ”
James also said: "Defensively, it can be seen that Zhang Zifeng is doing the best, although his shooting rate today is not high, but it is more about the sudden growth of muscles, which affects his feel." As long as he sharpens his shooting practice, I think he should be able to regain his old soft touch. And there are no good defensive players in the Blues this year, and Jack's defense can help us solve a big problem - the outside defensive sappers! So I think I should put Jack on the roster. ”
"What do you think?" Old K turned to his assistant coach in charge of training, Collinson.
'Jack's defence has really helped the Blues a lot, so I think it's a good option to put him in the squad. Collinson said truthfully.
"Looks like our roster has been decided!" Old K looked at the three teaching assistants beside him and said with a smile.
