It's just that Liu Yanhe's loud shouting is too late, just when the whistle just fell, Jiang Chengyi had already entered the penalty area, taking advantage of his speed, relying on the opponent's defender, jumping under the basket, and scoring a backhand layup from the other side.
"Damn!" Re-serve, Zheng Shaofeng served to Luo Yiyun on the bottom line, the ball was not stable, I don't know when two defenders had rushed out to attack him, Luo Yiyun tried to dribble and break through, but accidentally stumbled and lost control of the ball, a defensive player took the basketball away and passed it to another defender It was Meng Fangzhi who had just made Zhang Zhenyi deflated, and easily went to the empty basket. Two more points.
"The defensive intensity is not the same as in the first half! It seems that Wu Sheng is planning to play really at the beginning of the second half! Nanyang conceded two goals in a row in a few seconds, and Zhou Junyi was keenly aware of the changes on the field. The score also came to 36:40. In just half a minute, the gap is already only 4 points.
"It seems that the three people sent in the second half are not idle people, and it is estimated that they are all defensive giants. Zhong Zhengmin saw it last year, and his offensive ability is very average, but he has an iron-blooded defense that allows him to sit in a position in the main rotation lineup of Wusheng Middle School. You have to know how many players with super scoring ability do not have this treatment. β
"Everyone who plays basketball knows the saying: 'Performance depends on offense, winning depends on defense'!" Zhou Junyi looked at Li Xin beside him and said.
"You've heard that!"
"Of course I did! I've heard it since I first started playing basketball, from the Detroit Pistons in the '90s, to the Chicago Bulls, to the San Antonio Spurs, to the '08 Celtics, and so on, all of them won NBA championships with their iron-clad defense. Especially in 2004, the Pistons did not have a talented star, but they relied on their own united defense to defeat the unbeatable Lakers with 'F4'. Li Xin nodded and added, and gave Zhou Junyi another look.
This was a popular phrase 20 years ago. Now the phrase has evolved into 'win by attack, winning by defense'. Look at the current NBA, the small ball fast break is prevalent, and the attack power is stronger than the first. But look at the championships of the last few years. It's still the team that does better defensively to win the championship. Li Xin smiled confidently, looked at the field again and continued:
"It seems that the tactical thinking of the second half of this Wusheng is very clear, Nanyang, you have upgraded your offensive firepower and trained so many pitchers. So can defensive skills improve by leaps and bounds in a year? It's not just about individual ability, it's about teamwork, and having a defensive system under the leadership of a good coach. In the third year of high school, the players have left the team, and the main firepower of the real offense is only Jiang Chengyi and Li Mengzhou, Nanyang's offensive strength may have surpassed my martial arts, but what about defense, the defensive tradition that has been handed down for so many years, I am afraid that Nanyang will not be able to learn it in such a short time. So let's play defensive in the second half, after all, whoever defends better is more likely to win the championship. β
Zhou Junyi looked at Li Xin's interpretation, nodded again and again, and took over the words and said:
"In the second half, these three people, in addition to Zhong Zhengmin just mentioned, judging from the two rounds just now, Meng Fangzhi's defensive skills are also quite good, like a snake 'death entangled' the opponent, making the opponent at a loss, if Zhang Zhenyi is the sharpest spear, then Meng Fangzhi is simply the hardest shield. Reminds me of the Spurs' former defensive guru Bruce. Bowen, relying on his undivided focus on defense and tough close interference, exerts tremendous pressure on the ball and receivers. The other Zhou Yuxuan is not an idle person compared to him, and let's observe and observe in the next game! β
Wu Sheng spared no effort to launch a tight defense in the second half, not only with excellent individual defensive ability, but also with good defense. This is inseparable from the inheritance of Wusheng's excellent defensive system over the years. This is one of Wusheng's most important championship assets.
Look at the players on the field at this time, everyone's eyes are full of concentration looking at their opponents, and fighting defense is mentality. You have to have the ambition to defend to the extreme. In addition, the flexible footwork and excellent height of the strikers have become the core of their defensive line, and the talent of the wheel, which few teams can compare to Wusheng, is another important championship asset that has been passed down. Every year, basketball teenagers who want to join Wusheng Middle School abound, and the selection of outstanding physical conditions from so many talents also makes Wusheng more comfortable, and every year there are highly talented teenagers to add to the team, even if the old players leave the team, the impact on the team is not great, which is also an important reason why Wusheng can dominate the country all year round. Last year, there was a scoring genius like Jiang Chengyi, and this year there is a defensive genius like Meng Fangzhi.
The excellent physical conditions can allow Jiang Chengyi and Zhou Yuxuan on the flanks to switch defenses without any worries, while on the inside, Zhong Zhengmin and Li Mengzhou can provide them with enough frame support.
In the next 6 minutes, Nanyang not only lost the advantage of a few points in the first half, but even fell behind by nearly 10 points at one point. Nanyang can only rely on Zhang Zhenyi's personal ability to break through or create some opportunities for his teammates, and such opportunities are pitifully few compared to the first half.
With 3 minutes and 42 seconds left in the third quarter, Nanyang trailed by 9 points at 46:55. Head coach Mo Zhongyan couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout.
"It's horrible!" watched Nanyang, a friendly team in the same city on the court, be hit by the opponent with a 23:6 attack wave in 6 minutes and 18 seconds, losing 17 points. Li Xin remembered the scene when he clashed with Wusheng Middle School last year. It was also in the second half, the suffocating defense forced him to almost be dark in front of him, and in his hurry, he almost forgot what he should do, where the ball should be passed, how to organize the attack, and where are his teammates? Everything has no direction. It's a nightmare to think about.
"Although most of the players have changed, Wusheng is still the Wusheng, the terrifying overlord team, and the dignity that was lost last year must be regained this year." Xia Jun said with emotion.
"Isn't it, you must be familiar with this scene!" Li Xin looked at Xia Jun, and the friend in front of him must have remembered the unforgettable game last year as much as himself.
"Let's see what kind of adjustments the old Nanyang coach Mo Zhongyan makes." Zhou Junyi said.
'If you were the manager, how would you adjust?' Li Xin asked Zhou Junyi, I don't know when such a conversation has become a topic of conversation between the two, Li Xin always hopes to learn about the game from a bystander who has a unique view of the game, not only focusing on the personal ability that more peers talk about: "Which player is strong, which player is good at slam dunk, which player is good, which player is good, which player is three-pointer." The discussion that has risen to the tactical level, how the team receives and how to deal with it, has become the focus of Li Xin's more interest.
Zhou Junyi pondered for a few seconds before whispering: "If it were me, then I would defend against defend against one, and my shield would be stronger than one." β
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's very simple, the offensive strength of this Nanyang team has surpassed Wusheng, what is lacking is defensive ability, if my defensive ability can be the same as that of the opponent. I can't score points, and I can't let you score points, after all, my offensive ability is still a little bit better than yours, even if I only score 10 points, I will be a little better than you, maybe you can only score 8 points. β
"To put it simply, how can you improve your defensive ability in such a short period of time?" Li Xin asked again.
"Nanyang is not bad defensively, although it is said that 'winning the game depends on offense, and winning the championship depends on defense'. But there is also a saying that you must have heard: 'Offense is the best defense!' ββ
"You mean ......"
Zhou Junyi snapped his fingers and continued: "Yes! Instead of reining in the attack, we should be more open to attack. Of course, it is not about throwing the ball just when you take it, you have to increase the effective transmission of the ball when attacking. This is an advantage for Nanyang, with Zhang Zhenyi, Liu Yan and two offensive initiators in the starters, both of whom are good passers. Wu Sheng's pressing defense may be a nightmare for other teams, but not necessarily for Nanyang. First of all, don't be intimidated by the opponent's momentum, organize a more effective attack, pass the ball more, as for offensive tactics, Mo Zhongyan must be indispensable there. Stabilize your attack and break his 'strongest shield' with the 'sharpest spear'. What's more, now that everyone in the Nanyang lineup can score, Wu Sheng does not dare to easily entrap one person and let go of the other. β
Zhou Junyi said the truth, Li Xin and Xia Jun nodded again and again after listening, Jun Yi smiled, and continued: "Finally, let's talk about what Nanyang should do when it really defends, the core of Nanyang's defense is the center Ye Zongtian, as a full-time defensive interior player, Ye Zongtian has probably the best individual defensive efficiency in the country this year, I have made a statistic, he conceded as low as 75 points per 100 rounds, in Nanyang's previous games, all players who are eager to break through his defense will feel to the freezing point when facing him, Feel the cold of winter. Others always focus on Zhang Zhenyi, Zheng Shaofeng, and even Luo Yiyun, but they often ignore Ye Zongtian, probably because he is not outstanding in scoring. But his defense became the center of Nanyang's defensive system, and around him, Nanyang built the strongest defense in the Nanyang Division so far. β
"The strongest defense in the Southern Division?" Xia Jun and Li Xin said in unison, asking in a surprised tone.
"Hehe, you may not know yet, all the games in the South Division are over, and the team with the fewest points per game, guess which one, provided that the team that enters the national competition."
"Is it really Nanyang?"
"Yes, it's Nanyang, who only conceded an average of 54.3 points per game, I didn't expect it!"
"So Nanyang is not a team with a weak defense, on the contrary, it is also very strong defensively, but it is easy to be overlooked compared to his offensive ability."
"It's getting more and more interesting!" Zhou Junyi smiled, although he was not on the field, there was also an inexplicable sense of excitement in his body.
