Chapter 5 Lost Traces Section 73 Outside Attacks



Li Xin scored two solo breakthroughs in a row, and each time the first one to suffer was Alex. Alex was the one who was passed by a Li Xin, but when defending Li Xin, Alex was blocked by the opponent and lost the ball. Alex couldn't shirk the responsibility for losing two points in a row, which made him even more angry when he tried so hard to prove his ability.

"Calm down, now is not the time for you to go head-to-head with him, have a chance to score more! We still have a certain advantage on the inside. Nathan saw Alex's impatience and stepped forward to remind.

Alex looked at Nathan as if he had just woken up from a dream. Semi-professional players like them, although they have considerable ability and strength is much higher than that of ordinary amateur basketball players, compared with the top high school students in the United States in the previous NBA training camp, although they are a few years older, there is still a gap in ability. It's not unavoidable to be impatient when playing.

Alex quickly changed his tactics and did not pursue a heads-up with Li Xin. It has been seen from the previous contest that although Li Xin is yellow and Alex is Caucasian, Li Xin seems to be superior in terms of physical fitness, starting speed and bounce power. The two are of similar height, maybe just a little longer than Li Xin's arm span, which is almost negligible. From a personal technical point of view, Li Xin's dribbling and ball control ability and offensive ability have been baptized by the CHBL High School League for three years.

"Do you want to come again?" Li Xin smiled and said to Alex, his eyes were full of confidence, compared with the eyes that were still a little trance and uncertain three years ago, they were completely like the two of them.

"You can't get past me!" Li Xin continued to provoke Alex.

Alex's eyes widened in anger and he was about to vent something, but he still suppressed his emotions and remembered Nathan's reminder. Besides, scoring is not your strong point, as long as you do your job as a point guard.

Alex broke through diagonally on the left side, Li Xin followed closely step by step, and then continued to dribble in disguise, just making a move to break to the right. Li Xin thought that he was going to continue to singled himself, but suddenly withdrew his right foot and took a step back. This is a typical step-back shooting action, Li Xin followed up and was about to block, Alex had already shot, not to shoot, but to deliver ammunition to the players on the inside. This was unexpected by Li Xin, Nathan on the inside line held the ball, relied on his stronger body to resist Zhuo, and made a feint and then jumped up to throw, Zhuo didn't touch the ball, touched the edge of the basket and bounced into the net.

"That's the right way to play!" Nathan happily high-fived Alex.

Alex didn't score but did provide an assist, and the fact that he didn't play the right way he was playing was the right one.

At 11:8, the gap between the two teams is only 3 points. In a fast-paced game as three-on-three, the three-point advantage is almost negligible. Whoever reaches 21 points, who wins, you can imagine this is a direct scoring badminton game, the difference of 3 points is nothing, a ball round trip, a successful defense and successful attack, can narrow the gap of 2 points inside and out.

Li Xin's jump shot missed, and he finally missed in the third attack. Ryan grabbed the rebound and passed directly to the outside without making adjustments. Before Li Xin could rush back to defend, Alex on the outside had already jumped up and shot three points.

The ball actually passed through his heart, hit his first three-pointer of the game, and finally broke the scoring panic.

The anger that had been suppressed by Li Xin before could also be relieved a little, Alex looked at Li Xin proudly, as if to say: Look, I also have a unique score.

11:10

An outside shot counts as two points, and in the blink of an eye, the VCStar team has chased the score to 1 point.

In a three-on-three game, if there is a high shooting rate of outside players, it is very advantageous, and the team has fallen behind so much before after shooting a shot from the outside, relying on three three-pointers from Jamal and Alex to recover a 6-point difference in one fell swoop.

"The three-on-three conversion rhythm is so fast, even if you miss the shot, pay attention to the rebound scramble, there is still a chance to attack twice." Li Xin took the fallen basketball and thought in his heart. Passing by Michael's side, he whispered: "Michael, pay attention to the rebounding scramble next!" ”

Michael seems to have seen Li Xin's thoughts, maybe he is about to shoot on the periphery. After all, among the three people on the field, the most dominant point is Li Xin's point. Ryan and Nathan on the inside, both of whom are taller than Michael and Zhuo Yifan, are also very active defensively. There are no more opportunities for a while.

Li Xin re-dribbled to the outside line, deliberately retreated to almost the sideline, and widened the distance between him and his opponent. He hooked his finger at Alex, meaning: Come on, defend me! Wait until Alex presses up, then accelerate violently, step on the three-point line, dribble the ball under the crotch with his left hand, and quickly connect a back dribble and connect a small jump backwards just out of the three-point line. At this time, he had opened a gap of nearly 1 meter with the opponent, and immediately jumped up to shoot a three-point shot. Alex tried to jump, but it was too late to block the ball that had already been shot.

Ball hollow into the net! Li Xin hit the team's first outside shot of the game. This is a shooting opportunity created entirely by individual ability, a three-point shot with dribbling in disguise and stepping back, and a complete embodiment of individual ability.

Halfway through the game, only three people against opponents and four people took turns on the field, which was indeed a little tiring, and it was necessary to communicate with teammates about the next tactics. As soon as he finished throwing the ball, Li Xin made a pause gesture to the referee.

"You guy, this shot is okay! Where did you learn it? Zhuo stepped forward and touched Li Xin's head.

"NBA Highlights School Lessons!" Li Xin replied with a smile.

"This seems like Curry's signature move?" Michael pointed at Li Xin and made an expression as if he had seen this action somewhere.

Li Xin nodded. "Well, yes, that's right, I just learned from his shooting!"

"Just look at it and learn it?" Zhuo Yifan showed a suspicious expression on his face, and continued: "You must know that the last time we played in China, you didn't know how to use this trick, so quickly you used it so skillfully." ”

Of course Li Xin won't tell you, he watched the slow motion of this action over and over again dozens of times. And how many times to practice this action in private, you must first have skillful ball control skills, and be able to master continuous disguise and crotch dribbling. Then connect the step-back steps to start practicing from close range, increasing the distance a little bit, and then go beyond the three-point line, and also have a certain level of three-point shooting.

Finally, there is a defender to set up, and in the case of simulated defense, repeat the practice of this action over and over again. Of course, there are many more passing moves to open up the gap, and you can combine your skills to train.

"Huh! I didn't have much time, so I only practiced this one move! Li Xin smiled and said modestly.

"In the next game, we have to be careful about the rebounding, and when I have the chance, I'll shoot from the perimeter. You try to grab the rebound, and if you get the rebound, you go straight to the basket for a second offense. Of course there are good chances, and I'm going to pass to the basket so that you can get the most comfortable shots. The tactics of a three-on-three game are not so complicated, the main thing is to rely on individual ability, you grab rebounds and attack twice. I pass, shoot from the perimeter or break through, it's as simple as that. Li Xin talked about the next tactical arrangement

"Come on! Speed up and take them down! The three teenagers put their hands together and shouted three times in unison:

"Come on! Come on! Come on! ”

The next game did develop as Li Xin expected. He began to try to shoot again from the outside, and the first shot missed, and Michael's fast hand speed took the rebound that popped off the basket. The basket hits the opponent and scores again.

When defending, relying on the opponent's movement with his body, not separating for a moment, and constantly harassing the opponent with one hand, Zhuo Yifan and Michael both showed a very positive attitude. So Ryan and Nathan don't take advantage of it at all. After a few misses, the ball came to the periphery again, Li Xin dribbled the ball a little sideways, and then jumped up again, and soon hit the second three-pointer.

14:10

VCStar certainly doesn't take it so easily. Ryan ate Michael hard under the basket, and two big black men of more than 2 meters were entangled together, like two fierce beasts fighting, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

Finally, he threw a hook hand after the back single, and won the hard-won point.

"This time he was careless, and he succeeded!" Michael passed the ball to Li Xin on the outside, re-served, and said in pieces, but Li Xin clearly saw a hateful look in his eyes.

14:11

As soon as the ball was released, Li Xin used flexible steps to flash left and right, still relying on personal breakthroughs to find scoring opportunities. From his body, I vaguely saw Han Chongyu in the past, the guard who rushed to the basket desperately.

With a height of more than 180cm, he is not afraid of the basket guarded by the giants. Step on the free throw line, set up one foot in the air, keep your balance and distance from your opponent, drag the basketball with your right hand and hold the basketball with your left hand, a horseback archery action. Alex was almost out of position and unable to form an effective defense. Nathan could only jump high to make up for the defense, trying to block Li Xin's shot. Seeing that he was about to cover the basketball, Li Xin turned his wrist but moved the ball to the right side of the basket, and in the vacant position, a pair of big hands jumped up to preempt Ryan who was trying to break the ball. The two giants collided in the air, and Michael relied on the sudden bounce and impact to knock Ryan out of the air, while catching the ball and pressing it hard into the basket.

Under the perfect assist completed by Li Xin's sudden score, Michael once again completed the aerial relay, and it was a violent dunk on the opponent's captain. The momentum of VCStar, which had just had some momentum, was ruthlessly suppressed in an instant.

As soon as Michael landed, his eyes glared at Ryan and he stretched out his finger and shook it defiantly as if he were holding out his finger towards him. Li Xin finally understood the meaning contained in Michael's gaze just now: "I will definitely double the points I got in front of me!" ”
