Section 18 Trapping Tactics

"Defend, defend!" The uplifting slogan came from Li Xin's mouth, after completing a beautiful attack, Li Xin seemed to have inherited his captain's mantle after replacing Han Chongyu, and took the initiative to mobilize the emotions of his teammates on the field for the first time, and only the day before yesterday he still needed someone else to mobilize the player.

Offense is the fuse for the whole team to score, and when defending, it is the team's first line of defense, and the responsibility of the point guard is really a long way to go. One is self-confidence, and the other is indirect experience.

Self-confidence comes from success, from self-encouragement over and over again, and does not lose confidence because of one or two failures. Always believe that you are the best, cheer up, and never miss any fleeting opportunity. As for this, Li Xin's agile and decisive shot actually saw through Luo Hongtian's passing intention at a glance and stole the first ball in the semi-finals from the opponent.

Seeing that Li Xin successfully broke the ball, the other three members of Lan Meng's team galloped towards the opponent's hinterland like sharks smelling blood.

Zhuo Yifan, who is the fastest, bore the brunt of it, Li Xin's big hand raised the pass of most of the half-court distance as if it was just right, Zhuo Yifan got the ball very comfortably, and the bright defenders did not have anyone in place, Zhuo jumped high, held the ball in both hands and immediately stretched out the "bang", the unguarded slam dunk was really easy and enjoyable.

After scoring, Si Yuan was still unrelenting, and did not immediately return to his backcourt, but instead played the whole court in the bright half, Luo Hongtian's body was not strong, even in the face of a defender of ordinary stature like Li Xin, he could not take advantage of it when squeezing the position, and only relied on constant running to shake off the opponent and get the ball sent by his teammates. Before he got on the field, Li Xin noticed that in the Guangming attack, whether it was a positional attack or a fast attack, almost all of them were launched by Luo Hongtian's hands, in other words, as long as Luo Hongtian was suppressed, then the bright attack could not be smoothly organized, even if the light advanced the ball to the front court through the hands of other players, limited to the limited offensive organization ability of other players, it would eventually return the ball to Luo Hongtian's hands, which delayed the timing of Guangming's attack to a certain extent.

Of course, Li Xin knows this truth very well, forcing Luo Hongtian to make him unable to touch the ball comfortably, and the rest of the players are also exerting pressure on the players they are marking as always, and they can't get the ball comfortably, the serving player will of course still choose Luo Hongtian, who has the best ability to receive and control the ball, which is an obvious reason.

After a few rounds of stalemate, the serving player finally passed the ball out, Luo Hongtian held the ball with his back to Li Xin, after a habitual protective action, he raised his head and tried to look at Li Xin, which is also Luo Hongtian's signature action, which can play two roles in the process of looking at each other, one is to look at the other party with a sharp gaze to play the role of retreat and feint, and the other is to figure out the intention of the other party, so that he can make the next step.

When encountering a general opponent, they will correspondingly take the same way to meet the opponent's eyes to achieve the same goal. The interval between these glances is only half a second, but it can determine who will have the upper hand in the subsequent start. But Li Xin didn't face Luo Hongtian's eyes, which was really unexpected by Luo Hongtian. Wouldn't it be quite advantageous to take advantage of this precious half-second of time, if not to make eye contact with the other person, but to act first before the other person tries to make a judgment.

Sure enough, as Li Xin expected, in this half a second, the ball in Luo Hongtian's hand was unguarded at all, and he had already focused all his attention on speculating on the opponent's intentions.

"Slap" was crisp again, and the ball was easily slapped down by Li Xin from between Luo Hongtian's hands, and immediately stabilized the basketball when Luo Hongtian did not come to his senses, and the order of attack and defense was reversed in an instant.

Luo Hongtian is naturally not incompetent, he did not stay sluggish after being cut off, and quickly adjusted his mentality to a defensive form to firmly resist Li Xin, who only held the ball, showing the basketball quality he should have.

"Want to score? You can't shoot with your back to the basket, what can you do? ”

"Shoot!"

Luo Hongtian, who firmly resisted Li Xin, calculated in his heart: with his defensive ability, Li Xin, who was facing back to the basket, would not have a chance to shoot comfortably, besides, with the support of the interior players behind him, Li Xin's chance of trying to break through his defense and shoot to score was almost zero.

The shooting posture adopted by the average guard is nothing more than the standard posture of the jump shot, dribbling to the basket, one-handed pick-up, rebound shooting, and the slam dunk shooting style adopted by the player with the ability to dunk, and the guard who is also the defender has long been accustomed to the defensive method of these shots, and if the opposing player adopts other irregular shooting methods, then it may be more than that.

At this time, Li Xin took the ball with ingenuity and moved two steps, then raised his left hand high, instantly lifted the ball, crossed his head, turned his wrist and fingers, and the action was done in one go, a standard posture hook hand shot.

The arc of the ball was very high, not only past Luo Hongtian's defense, but also over the fingers of the opponent's interior center. The ball went into the net beautifully, and Luo Hongtian and Guangming were really caught off guard.

Li Xin only played for one minute, and he had already led the team to shoot and dunk to get back six points. Compared with Li Xin, who had already made several mistakes after only playing for two minutes in the last game, it was like two people who had been reborn.

The difference of 5 points is not a big advantage for a basketball game, if it goes well, two round trips can recover the score, Guangming obviously felt such a crisis, and Guangming's head coach Xie Yuankun asked for a timeout.

"The opponent's new point guard played well!" Xie Yuankun did not blame the players at the beginning, nor did he ask the players to play 12 points, but praised the opponent's players, which is indeed a strange coaching style.

"Luo Hongtian, have you been beaten?"

"No kidding, how could I lose to Siyuan, that fledgling kid?"

"Hehe, that's right, it's still Luo Hongtian I know!"

"Do you know what to do next?" Xie Yuankun put down the hands that had been crossed on his chest, faced each other, and made a squeezing motion.

"You mean wrapping up the opposing team's new point guard?" Xie Yuankun nodded.

"We also had him just now, his ball control and passing skills are very good, and he quickly distributed the ball and caught our defense off guard!"

"I didn't say two!"

"It's difficult, can't it be three people! Is it worth it for the sake of a fledgling kid for the other party? ”

"Don't underestimate the other party, remember the first time you played, the opponent also thought that they relaxed their marking of you, which led to the final fiasco, and it is quite ridiculous to fall twice in one place." Xie Yuankun shook the index finger of his right hand.

"Since ancient times, one of the most important aspects of war is to try to interrupt the opponent's supply line, and by extension, in basketball, it is undoubtedly to cut off the passing line between the player in control and other players, and if a team relies on one player to attack most of the time, then containing this player will undoubtedly easily achieve the purpose of cutting off the opponent's supply line. Therefore, it is very necessary to have a three-man point guard against the opposing team. ”

"But ......" Luo Hongtian wanted to speak and stopped, what he wanted to say was that his own team was also like this, and the team that had always relied on him to launch the whole team's attack, if the other party also adopted the same tactics, wouldn't the situation on the field still be stalemate?

Xie Yuankun is naturally not an ordinary person, what Luo Hongtian thought about was already in his calculations, in addition to Luo Hongtian, Guangming also has another trump card, Shan Wenwei, known as the "God of War", and Siyuan is not like Shan Wenwei here, this is the deciding factor.

After the pause, the Guangming generals quickly implemented the coach's intentions, Luo Hongtian, Xiao Changhuan and Fang Qiongyu quickly implemented the three-person package as long as they saw Li Xin take the ball, and the three of them rushed to Li Xin from three different directions at the same time, Li Xin was naturally extremely uncomfortable with such an oppressive pressing defense, either the pass was wrong, or the ball was cut off by the opponent. Siyuan was once in danger of being under the city.

After being succeeded by Guangming twice, Li Xiaolong on the field was also keenly aware of the other party's intentions, and after making the same squeezing gesture and a meaningful look at Li Xin, Si Yuan also concocted the same tactics against Luo Hongtian, although this was already expected by Luo Hongtian, but in the face of the three-person bag, he also cried out in vain, and there was a mistake.

When the game became boring because of such an almost rogue defense, Shan Wenwei, who had been silent for a long time, launched a thunderous offensive again: as long as Siyuan's people had an attempt to pinch Luo Hongtian, Luo Hongtian quickly distributed the ball to Shan Wenwei, and Shan Wenwei was also within a few steps of Luo Hongtian in order to cooperate with Luo Hongtian's pass and not be intercepted in the middle. How can Si Yuan, who has only two defenders, be the opponent of the Bright Offensive Legion with Shan Wenwei in the field, slam dunk, mid-range shot, fancy layup, Shan Wenwei breaks through Si Yuan's defense as easily as a sharp blade piercing a blank paper.

After a few round-trips, the original 5-point disadvantage widened to more than 10 points in a blink of an eye, Siyuan's change of formation was imminent, and he originally thought that Li Xiaolong would inevitably call a timeout to stabilize the situation, and only when he was substitution, Han Chongyu, who was back on the court, said a few words in the ear of Han Chongyu, and changed Siyuan's trump card in a timely manner, and Siyuan's double point guard tactics appeared on the court again.

I don't know who will launch Siyuan's attack at this time, and the bright flanking tactics will naturally not be self-defeating, but the firepower of its attack is still sharp, so the two sides will fall into a stalemate, Shan Wenwei scored two points, Han Chongyu returned a goal, Luo Hongtian sent a beautiful pass, and Li Xin returned with a wonderful assist.

However, it was not enough to rely on these after pretending to be back, and as time passed minute by minute, Li Xiaolong finally couldn't sit still, and shouted that Siyuan only had one of the two timeouts.
