Section 29 The Key to Victory
"Let's cheer up and defend with all our might!" Li Xin blocked a ball that was almost impossible to block, and the momentum was booming, shouting loudly to boost the morale of his team.
The scores of the two teams returned to single digits, and there were waves of people in the audience, all shouting: "Bandage man!" Attaboy! ”
Although she knew that she was praising herself, Li Xin still couldn't laugh.
Siyuan's tenacious counterattack put considerable pressure on Wusheng, and Wusheng coach Corian applied for the first timeout of the second half.
"These guys are really tenacious!" Jiang Chengyi praised his opponent for the first time today, which is very rare for him.
"Continue to strengthen the defense, regain the advantage, try to extend the score to more than 20 points, and eventually try to get a 30-point advantage to ensure our victory." Coolion said.
"30 points?" Wang Kefeng was a little skeptical that his ears had heard it wrong.
"What? Have questions? ”
"Coach, isn't this estimated too high, and the other party is not an ordinary team, let alone away from home." Wang Kefeng responded.
"I know they're a pretty good team, but we're a team that has won five consecutive national titles, and it's not an exaggeration to beat one team by 30 points!" Coolion's words are crisp and confident.
"Wang Kefeng, your performance today is good, and then Meng Dinan will play and control the rebound, especially to suppress the opponent in the front court. At the same time, the whole court continued to besiege the opponent with full court pressing. ”
"You all know how to do it!"
The starting five said in unison: "I know!! ”
On Siyuan's side, Li Xiaolong looked at the opponent's seat for a while, stroked the beard on his chin back and forth a few times, and turned back to the players and ordered: "The opponent will definitely not give up on this, according to my estimates, they will strengthen their defense in the future, Xiao Tian, so far, what is the ratio of rebounds between the two teams?" ”
Tian Jianzhong picked up a technical statistics sheet and replied: "At 26:32, we have a little advantage. ”
"If I'm right, the next step is to step up the fight for rebounds."
"Zhuo Yifan, Michael!" Hearing the coach's call, the eyes of the two immediately focused on Li Xiaolong.
"Watch out for defensive rebounds!" Xiaoxue translated in Michael's ear, and then both of them nodded.
"Li Xin!" Li Xiaolong called.
"Yes!"
"How's your perimeter shooting going?"
"Don't worry, we're ready to play a role!"
"Excellent! Next, as soon as you and Xia Jun have the opportunity, they will focus on attacking from the outside. Han Chongyu tried his best to break through quickly. ”
When the timeout came, Meng Dinan, who was second only to Sui Cheng'an in height, came on the court, with a height of 200cm, which was the same as Michael, the first height of Siyuan. And the lean physique, dark skin, even feels like a second Michael. Mccarthy.
In this way, Wu Sheng has three tall men of about 2 meters on the field at the same time, such a height may be extremely rare in the high school league.
"A 2-meter-tall man suddenly appeared in front of him, and Zhuo Yifan, who was 1.89 meters, looked much shorter!" Zhou Junyi's former teammate Mu Xiang in the audience sighed.
Zhou Junyi sat up straight and responded: "Although the average height of the opponent is about 10 centimeters higher than Siyuan, today's basketball is no longer just a game of height, on the contrary, teams with fast speed, flexible transitions, and diverse playing styles are also quite competitive." And Siyuan is such a team now. ”
"Height vs. speed, which side will have the advantage?" With such a question, Mu Xiang returned his gaze to the arena.
Sui Chengan returned to his familiar small forward position, which also means that he will have more opportunities to shoot from the outside in the future.
Wang Linzhou and Jiang Chengyi made a block, Jiang Chengyi held the ball and faced Han Chongyu in front of him, Jiang Chengyi carried the ball back and forth behind him, and his body suddenly leaned back, singled Han Chongyu, and took advantage of his body to get away from Han Chongyu, and immediately jumped up to shoot.
“YEA――!” Seeing the black figure rushing out, Jiang Chengyi's eyes suddenly turned white, and with a wave of his big palm, he slapped the ball out. The ball goes straight out of the touchline
“YEAH!” Michael yelled, full of morale, and stretched out another finger to shake and provoke his opponent.
"I will definitely pay you back this shame! You gringo! Jiang Chengyi pointed at Michael and shouted angrily. Although he didn't quite understand what the other party was saying, Michael. McCarthy could feel that his actions had indeed angered the scoring champion in front of him.
Wu Sheng's sideline ball, Si Yuanzhong players ran quickly, not allowing the opponent to have the opportunity to hold the ball easily.
Meng Dinan's ball was passed directly to Sui Cheng'an at a zero degree angle on the bottom line, seeing that the soles of his feet were outside the three-point line, and in front of him Xia Jun, who was only 179cm, jumped up and shot directly, Xia Jun had no way at all.
Three-point hollow into the net. Xia Jun shook his head helplessly, thinking: "179cm vs. 202cm, the shortest and highest defense in the whole field, it's too bullying." ”
“54:65”
Switching offense and defense, Wu Sheng reactivated the full-court pressing defense, Li Xin was on guard, moved quickly, avoided the two's bag, and immediately passed the ball to Han Chongyu near the midfield, Han Chongyu faced Sui Chengan. A typical duel of speed vs. height.
Han Chongyu's realistic feints and changes of direction shook off Sui Chengan's center of gravity, and he took a big stride and easily passed Sui Cheng'an, rushing directly to the inner line.
Meng Dinan came to block, Han Chongyu stretched out his left hand on the left side and pretended to hook his hand to shoot, which caused the opponent who had just come on the court to jump up, and immediately changed the ball to his right hand and scored easily.
Han Chongyu's wonderful performance of shaking the opponent attracted the exclamation of the home fans: "Good ball!" ”
“56:65”
Wu Sheng served, Si Yuan did not press all over the court, Wang Linzhou ran until near the midfield, only to receive the serve from the bottom line, and the attack was launched quite quickly.
And the other two: Jiang Chengyi and Sui Chengan have also arrived quickly, separating to the left and right wings respectively. Siyuan had four people retreating.
Wang Linzhou forcibly broke through, Li Xin stabilized his position and blocked Wang's pace, Wang suddenly took a step back, ready to shoot, Li Xin immediately pasted it, but he didn't jump easily with considerable defensive experience, and Wang Linzhou jumped for the second time, Li Xin jumped quickly, covering the opponent's vision with one hand, and stretched out to the ball with the other hand.
Wang Linzhou gave up his uncertain shot and threw the ball in the air to Sui Chengan on the left wing.
Xia Jun also immediately posted it, but the huge difference in height made Sui Chengan have no scruples at all and forced a jump shot. The ball bounced back and forth to the left and right several times in a row before finally falling into the net.
Xia Jun also touched the opponent's arm and was awarded another penalty by the referee.
Free throws are Sui Chengan's forte, and he also hit a free throw.
“56:68”
Wu Sheng began to press the whole court again, this time Li Xin did not have such good luck, was caught by Jiang Chengyi and Wang Linzhou, it was difficult to move an inch, and under the difficulty, he saw the figure of his teammate flashing in the gap between the two, so he passed the ball out.
Sui Chengan arrived quickly, the ball was cut off, and then passed back to Meng Dinan, who was inserted, and Meng Dinan made a sharp dunk and scored two more points.
“56:70”
Nearly halfway through the second half, Si Yuan fell back behind by 14 points. The situation seems to be moving in the direction that Wusheng coach Corien expected. Will it widen the gap to 20 or even 30 points?
Wu Sheng continued to press, Han Chongyu and Xia Jun came back to pick up Li Xin, and the three of them worked together, quickly reversing back and forth, and successfully resolved the other party's pressure. From Han Chongyu holding the ball to the front court, Xia Jun and Li Xin have already run in place at a 45-degree angle on the left and right sides respectively. But Xia Jun was guarded by Sui Cheng'an, and it was difficult to have a chance to score, and Han Chongyu made a direct pass to Li Xin. There was no one in front of him, Li Xin held the ball, aimed at the basket, dribbled from the bottom to the top, and made an outside shot outside the three-point line.
Jiang Chengyi pounced, but it was too late, and he could only watch the ball enter the frame. Li Xin's shooting arc, although not as high as Xia Jun's shooting arc, is also smooth and beautiful, the ball goes straight to the net, like a flashing meteor, and the first three points of the game with Wu Sheng are invested.
"This guy can still shoot three points!" Jiang Chengyi took the ball and said to himself.
In the information he has, Li Xin is a playmaker who is good at passing and controlling the ball, but his scoring ability, especially the periphery scoring ability, is not very strong, and he has almost no impression of Li Xin shooting three points.
Not only did Corian not expect, but some of Siyuan's players also didn't know how much Li Xin's outside ability was, in fact, since entering the second year of high school, Li Xin has been secretly practicing three points, and Xia Jun has also given him a lot of guidance, plus Li Xin's good ball ability and comprehension, so of course the progress is very fast.
But Li Xin and her father Li Xiaolong had made an agreement before they clashed with Wu Sheng, and they would not shoot three points on the periphery unless necessary.
In other words, Li Xin's three-point shot is one of the secret weapons against Wu Sheng. Surprise and attack it unprepared, this is Siyuan's unique secret weapon - Xiao Li Flying Knife is also.
"Yay!! It's three points! Xiaoxue cheered.
"Well done! Bandage man! Under the leadership of Xiaoxue, the audience was jubilant again.
“59:70”
Li Xiaolong glanced up at the time display on the electronic scoreboard in the stadium, and the second half was exactly 13 minutes later. The final seven minutes of the battle meant a fierce competition.
Li Xiaolong suddenly put his thumb and index finger into his mouth and blew a loud whistle, sending out a counterattack signal.
Si Yuanzhong will understand the coach's intentions, and then also launched a full-court pressing tactics against Wu Sheng, with the fastest Han Chongyu and Zhuo Yifan going deepest and pressing the opponent's ball-holding players first, while Li Xin and Xia Jun assisted in the defense before and after the midfield, and Michael. McCarthy kept an eye on the opposition's frontcourt players and cut off the opponent's long passes.
Wang Linzhou is also worthy of being the previous national MVP player, Han Chongyu's constant interference, Zhuo Yifan's step by step pressing, Wang was rarely interfered with, I saw him first transfer the ball to the left side, the person who pressed here is Zhuo Yifan, the relative ability to break the ball is not very strong, control the ball in this position, the possibility of being broken is relatively small.
Then, the MVP player's hand bent forward and retracted his hand, but the ball disappeared in front of the eyes of the two Siyuan Bao players. The two hesitated for a moment, Wang Linzhou had already taken a step forward, half of his body passed Zhuo Yifan, Zhuo looked back, and realized that the ball that disappeared just now was originally wrapped around his back by the opponent, and he took the opportunity to grab the position. But if he wanted to make another move, he couldn't keep up with Wang Linzhou's pace, so he turned around again, passed Xia Jun, who was surrounded by him, and went straight to the front. There are two people in front of him, and the defender is only Michael, who is slow to pass the high ball and is easy to be intercepted by the opponent, and the ground counter pass is easy to make mistakes because Michael blocks the sight of his players.
Then break through by yourself, Wang Linzhou strode into the meteor, quickly broke through to the inside line, Michael was already waiting, Wang went directly to the basket, Michael jumped higher, there was no hope for the hard, the ball was led from the top to the waist, and a back pass was about to be distributed to He Chaoyun on the other side. He Chaoyun received the ball, "drank ......" and slammed the dunk with one arm, weighing 105 kilograms and violently dunking, the entire basket trembled.
"Attack, stretch the score to 30 points!" He Chaoyun was very imposing, and roared loudly.
"30 points? With just over 6 minutes to go, is it possible to win nearly 20 points more? This guy is too arrogant. He Chaoyun's words obviously angered the audience.
“59:72”
has repeatedly resolved Wu Sheng's full-court tight marking and wrapping tactics, Si Yuan actually has a certain experience, although some have luck elements, but Li Xin and Han Chongyu's dual point guard tactics can indeed deal with the forcing defense that no team is afraid of to a certain extent. This time, it was the close cooperation of Li Xin and Han Chongyu and their skilled ball control skills that made Wu Sheng's forcing and defense fall short.
When it came to the front court, the defender switched to a man-to-man defense that expanded the half, and everyone's defensive area was widened, even if it came to the half, Siyuan was not easy at all.
Li Xin raised his hand to signal his teammates to run, Siyuan's offensive line suddenly became active, Zhuo Yifan cut in a quick step, Li Xin's just right pass directly made Zhuo receive the ball comfortably while running, and then jumped up to hit the board with a hook hand.
The "Knock ......" ball bounced out.
"Watch the rebounds!" Wang Linzhou and Li Xin shouted at the same time.
Under the basket, He Chaoyun, Meng Dinan and Michael, three 2-meter giants, jumped up at the same time to compete for rebounds.
He Chaoyun was pressed under Michael who jumped higher and lost the opportunity to fight, and Meng Dinan was tall and had an excellent jumping ability. Compared to Michael, it is not inferior in any way, and even has a slight upper hand.
The two balls were held down by two big hands at the same time in the air, and they bounced upwards with too much force, and then they both jumped after they fell, and the two giant arms rose vertically, and the winner was divided at the highest point, and Mendinan was half a palm higher, and finally took the ball into his arms.
"Meng Dinan, but I can say that it is a rebounding talent poached from the high jump group of the school track and field team." Collion held one hand to his chest and the other hand propped his chin to himself.
"You must know that when he practiced high jump for just over half a year, Meng Dinan broke the record of the school that had been sealed for eight years, and he was a rare high jump talent. But in my opinion, he's more of a defensive basketball talent. ”
"It cost me two bottles of Hennessy XO plus three dinners to convince that difficult High Jump coach!"
"My treasure, French cuvée!"
Wu Sheng's substitute: "Why is the coach crying?" ”
"Attack!" Meng Dinan searched for the missile like a missile, and went straight to the hands of Wang Linzhou, who had run to the front.
