Chapter 5 Lost Traces Section 78 Winning the Game and Watching the Defense (I)

Looking back a year ago, Liu Yanhe, a backup point guard, was just a player with excellent passing ability, and his shooting ability can be said to be very average. When Zhang Qiyi firmly occupied the team's main point guard, Liu Yanhe's playing time was also limited. Because of the lack of excellent shooting ability, it often becomes a point that the opponent can put when he is on the court.

Until the day Zhang Zhenyi came, after watching the confrontation in the team, he was the first to find Liu Yanhe.

"Brother, you're good with the ball, dribbling and even passing. With a broad vision, in this sense, he is an excellent playmaker in the traditional sense. But can your shot be a little worse? Zhang Zhenyi took the statistics board and pointed to Liu Yanhe's statistics. He shot 3-of-11 from the field and shot 27 percent from the field. Three-pointers were 0 of 4 shots.

Liu Yanhe's blue team trailed the red team by two points at 33:35 in the first half. You must know that the red team has a super newcomer Zheng Shaofeng, as well as the main center Ye Zongtian. In addition to Liu Yanhe and Luo Yiyun, the blue team is also a substitute who can hardly play in important games. And Luo Yiyun's strength is not scoring, even so, relying on excellent defense. It is also only 2 points behind the blue team.

"Even if you score one three-pointer and you're ahead, if it's the fourth quarter, then you win. If you can shoot 40% from the field and 35% from three-point range, it will be of considerable help to our team. You can even become the fourth core after me, Zheng Shaofeng, and Luo Yiyun. Zhang Zhenyi said hatefully, he was already very depressed about his emotions, and he could even describe his tone at this time.

"Second half, look at me, you rest!" In the second half, Zhang Zhenyi was in the field, and more often than not, he did not connect his teammates as well as usual. It's just about opening up gaps and finding opportunities through constant passing and demanding. Keep shooting, shooting, shooting. In the 20 minutes of the second half, Zhang Zhenyi scored 28 points alone, and you must know that the entire blue team scored a total of 38 points, but they still won the final game.

How many times did I make a basket? Zhang Zhenyi asked, Liu Yanhe took the statistical board and looked at it. Liu Yanhe was in charge of counting the blue team statistics in the second half.

"He shot 11-of-17 from the field at 647 percent and 3-of-6 from three-point range at 50 percent. This shooting rate is still mostly obtained by mid-range shots without breaking through the inside line. Liu Yanhe looked at the statistical board and said with some surprise.

"Normally, I kept playing and didn't desperately break through the inside line." Zhang Zhenyi said lightly.

Liu Yanhe looked at Zhenyi and couldn't help but be in awe, and he had to feel admiration in his heart for this new leader of the team.

"Brother Zhenyi, you are right, but after playing basketball for many years, my shooting percentage has not improved significantly, how do you say I practice?"

"One, correct the shooting action. While casting, there are people watching the guidance next to you, and it is best to record the video and adjust it in time. Second, there is no secret, shoot 500 baskets a day before you go home! Weekend practice, 2,000 shots a day. ”

"Hit 2,000! If you shoot 50% unguarded, you need to shoot at least 4,000 times. Oh my God, this hand is going to be broken. Liu Yanhe's face was about to turn green.

"That's right. Ever heard the saying: Have you ever seen Los Angeles at four in the morning? Zhang Zhenyi patted Liu Yanhe's shoulder and said.

"Of course I've heard of it, this is Kobe's famous quote!"

"It's good to know, a basketball genius like Kobe Bryant is so diligent, completing 2,000 jump shots a day. What other reasons do we have not to do shooting practice? He's fighting for the NBA championship, and we're fighting for the CHBL championship. Isn't genius the inspiration of 99% effort plus 1%! ”

"Then, let's practice!" Liu Yanhe said tremblingly.

Since then, for more than 300 days, except for the National Day and the Spring Festival. Every day, under the leadership of Zhang Zhenyi, the team's main and main rotation players are required to shoot at least 500 baskets. Zhang Zhenyi, Luo Yiyun, Liu Yanhe and even Zheng Shaofeng, only in the main lineup, there are four people who have the ability to shoot three-pointers, all the way to the finals of the national competition, the three-point shooting rate of these four people exceeded 35%, and the three-point shooter army was born.

Jiang Chengyi relied on his personal ability and forced a layup to score two points. And just back to the defense, after a few passing, the bottom line was pulled out of the gap. It was Liu Yanhe who was ambushed there, who immediately jumped after receiving the ball, shot at the highest point, the action was standard, and the ball after the shot also drew a high arc and then hollowed into the net. Another three-pointer.

"When will this guy be able to shoot threes?" Jiang Chengyi recalled the Nanyang games he watched last year, when Liu Yanhe was a substitute and had more than ten minutes of playing time in each game, and he almost didn't see him hit three points in his impression. And it was a coincidence that he hit two three-pointers early in today's game?

"No, you can see from the stance and arc of the shot that this guy is already a pitcher! Coupled with good vision and organizational skills, he has already shared quite a lot of tasks for Zhang Zhenyi on the offensive end. Both of them can organize and attack, Zhang Zhenyi naturally can't let go, and Liu Yan and the opponent with this hit rate and organizational ability don't dare to let it go anymore. Nanyang is like a two-point guard lineup. And what's worse is that both of them have become able to score again, both scoring and organizing attacks. Isn't this the most popular 'two-way guard' in the NBA right now? It has been difficult for organizational guards in the traditional sense to survive in the NBA, who would have thought that in China's high school leagues, such a configuration would also appear! ”

On the other hand, Wusheng's organizational guards, although they also have excellent vision and good organizational skills, their scoring ability is not outstanding, and the scoring on the periphery still mainly relies on Jiang Chengyi. I have to say that in terms of staffing and playing style, Wusheng has lagged behind Nanyang.

At the end of the half, Nanyang actually led Wusheng by 8 points at 40:32. But Jiang Chengyi and Li Mengzhou took 25 of them.

"In terms of playing style and tactical literacy, Wusheng seems to have lagged behind Nanyang." Zhou Junyi, who was sitting in the audience, touched his chin and clearly saw the form of the first half.

"Nanyang's progress this year is indeed not small, Zhang Zhenyi is really a genius, I have to say that compared with his brother Zhang Qiyi, it has been a notch higher. It is even the absolute top among high school students in the country! Li Xin, who was sitting next to him, also saw Nanyang's progress and praised Nanyang and Zhang Zhenyi.

"No, the top is no longer enough to describe him, looking at the entire domestic high school basketball world, the only one who can compete with him is the opponent in front of him - Jiang Chengyi! It's a stage for the two of them! Zhou Junyi swept the stubble on his chin and told the truth seriously.

At the beginning of the second half, Wu Sheng adjusted the team lineup, except for Jiang Chengyi and Li Mengzhou, the players in the other three positions were all replaced. They are No. 6 power forward Zhong Zhengmin, who is 194cm tall; No. 11 organization guard Meng Fangzhi, 183cm tall; No. 13 small forward Zhou Yuxuan, 189cm tall. Except for Zhong Zhengmin, the other two are both sophomores in high school, and they hardly see the playing time in normal times, and the opponent knows little about them.

"What does this change of formation mean, do you want to surprise the army?" Xia Jun had doubts and muttered unconsciously.

This muttering was just heard by Zhou Junyi, and he only whispered: "It looks like it's really a miracle soldier, wait and see!" ”

Zhang Zhenyi held the ball and launched the first attack in the second half, and only after half time, Meng Fangzhi, a newcomer from Wusheng, came closely. Zhen Yi dribbled twice from behind his back, trying to shake off his opponent's center of gravity, but his opponent was unmoved. Immediately followed by the cross-step dribble, and just after taking the passer's kick, Meng Fangzhi had already come to the front of him and firmly blocked the way.

"This guy is really not simple!" Zhenyi didn't expect the opponent to be so difficult, and he failed to break through the defense several times. He took two steps back with the ball and raised his other hand to signal his teammates to come up and make a pick-and-roll. Center Ye Zongtian understood and came up to make a block, trying to block the defender who had been pestering Zhenyi behind him. Just past Ye Zongtian, thinking that he had successfully blocked and dismantled and could break through smoothly, when he looked up, he saw that it was still this guy, a difficult opponent. Meng Fangzhi had expected that the opponent would block and dismantle in an attempt to stop his defense, on the other hand, he could form a defensive dislocation, so that Li Mengzhou, who originally defended Ye Zongtian, defended Zhang Zhenyi, and he could only change the opponent's center Ye Zongtian.

In this way, Zhang Zhenyi can use the absolute advantage of speed to kill the inside line and cause damage. Even if you can't score a breakaway, you can cause an opponent to foul the defense, or draw the ball to an open teammate to score when you attract a defender.

Therefore, this block must not allow Nanyang to succeed, and it can only be used to entangle the opponent with a faster speed and more active running.

"This guy is so difficult!" Zhang Zhenyi didn't expect that the blocking and dismantling tactics used by the center in practice and previous games this time would be easily broken by such an unknown opponent. Looking at the time again, there are only 5 seconds left to attack. At the same time, the opponent is still pushing himself in front of him, and his hands are constantly interfering with his movements, putting him in a dilemma.

"This kid!" Zhang Zhenyi slammed his strength and tried to resist the opponent, but the defender actually fell to the ground. The referee's whistle sounded immediately, making a gesture of "hitting someone with the ball", an offensive foul.

"What! Offensive foul, I haven't touched him much! Zhang Zhenyi immediately jumped in front of the referee and tried to reason with the referee.

The referee turned a blind eye and continued to give the ball to the opponent.

Liu Yanhe grabbed Zhang Zhenyi: "Brother Zhenyi, forget it, this guy seems to be difficult to deal with, and it is estimated that the other few others are also on the field." ”

Meng Fangzhi just smiled, took the pass and passed it to Jiang Chengyi, and he had already launched a fast attack!

"Hurry back to defense!" Liu Yanhe shouted.
