Chapter 5 Lost Traces Section 80 Stalemate Moment
After the pause, the two teams returned to the game, and surprisingly, Nanyang did not change a soldier or a general. is still the first five tigers, just a few words of pause can bring much change to Nanyang. Whispers began to appear in the audience, and those who listened carefully said what kind of medicine was sold in this Mo Zhongyan gourd, and what should be used to deal with the opponent's forced defense if they didn't change people?
Wu Sheng is still a forced defense, but this time Nanyang has been prepared. Zhang Zhenyi received the ball, Meng Fangzhi immediately pressed up, and on the other side, Zhou Yuxin also looked at Zhang Zhenyi with fierce eyes, but he didn't dare to step forward and press. Because Liu Yanhe is not far from him, if he presses, Zhang Zhenyi will inevitably pass the ball to Liu Yanhe, resulting in an open road ahead.
Zhang Zhenyi smiled slightly, Meng Fangzhi can be called a top defender, but after all, he is only a sophomore player. Experience-speaking, where can I compare to Zhang Zhenyi, who is the oldest on the field, who has played from a wild court to a professional field since he was a child, what kind of opponent has never seen him. It may be more difficult for you to pass, so I will rely on you to advance slowly, and forgive you for not daring to take the risk of copying my Zhang Zhenyi's ball.
Under normal circumstances, the organizer of Nanyang's attack is Zhang Zhenyi, but his declared position on the court is a scoring guard rather than a playmaking guard, that is, the No. 2 position is not the No. 1 position. In fact, playmaker Liu Yanhe is more of a screener, a fixed-point shooter, and a receiver. This is not in line with the traditional way of playing basketball. Because of this, Wu Sheng's defense against Zhang Zhenyi is tighter, because he is the real organizer. Only by cutting off his passing and attacking lines can he disrupt Nanyang's offense to the greatest extent.
Zhang Zhenyi dribbled the ball to the front court and pretended to make a few passing moves, but Meng Fangzhi was still very tight, and there was no chance to break through. In a few seconds, Zhang Zhenyi could only swim two steps outside the three-point line to inside the three-point line. With 12 seconds left, Zhang Zhenyi sent the ball out and sent it to Liu Yanhe. He plunged headlong into the inside line, and Zheng Shaofeng was under the basket, already waiting to cover his teammates.
Zhang Zhenyi suddenly stepped forward and walked around Zheng Shaofeng's side, and he was responsible for Zhenyi's positioning. Liu Yanhe quickly passed the ball to Zhang Zhenyi, while Zheng Shaofeng kept running to the other corner of the court, and also took away the opposing defensive warrior Zhong Zhengmin who was defending him, which freed up a large space for Zhang Zhenyi under the basket, making Zhenyi one step closer to the basket. He turned slightly, and at the same time as he turned around, he had already flown to the basket, volleyed above the defender, straightened his waist in the air, and successfully picked up the basket with one hand.
"This is a successful three-two attack!" Zhou Junyi exclaimed.
"Three-two offense?" Xia Jun asked with a blank expression.
"Yes, three-two refers to the tactic of creating a great shooting space with three players on the court and two players leading the offense. The most well-known is an offensive tactic used by the Atlanta Hawks in the '90s. ”
Switching between offense and defense, Meng Fangzhi organized an attack, and just after halftime, Nanyang also pressed forward. Jiang Chengyi has not yet had a chance to catch the ball, Zhang Zhenyi firmly watched the opponent and did not let him catch the ball easily. Jiang Chengyi has long been accustomed to such a tight defense, and quickly came to the basket in disguise, under the cover of the inside player, and ran to the other side. Although Zhang Zhenyi is also extremely fast, after all, he was also interfered with by the opponent's covering players. It took a step slower to keep up with Jiang Chengyi. Meng Fangzhi immediately passed the ball, just sent it to Jiang Chengyi, who came to the outside of the three-point bottom line, and was just about to make a shot, who would have thought that Zhang Zhenyi blocked Jiang Chengyi's face with one hand, his vision was blocked, and the shooting rhythm was disrupted.
The ball hit the basket and didn't go in, Ye Zongtian resisted Li Mengzhou, who was much taller than himself, and grabbed the rebound. This is the defensive rebounding skill he is known for, and although he is only 193cm tall, he does not fall behind when it comes to protecting rebounds against many tall centers.
The first is to have a prediction of the shooting line, when the opponent shoots, look at the ball in the air to know where the ball will fall approximately, and the second is its strong upper and lower body strength, even if you are a 210cm center, you can't take advantage of it at all when competing for position. At the same time, the upper body is spread out with both arms to properly protect their territory. Take off easily and grab rebounds.
Ye Zongtian passed directly to Zhang Zhenyi near the midfield, Zhenyi received the ball, only dribbled it and sent it to Liu Yanhe, and he walked all the way to the frontcourt. The defender pressed the ball holder, Liu Yanhe had good ball control skills, went to the front court safely, and quickly passed the ball to Zhang Zhenyi in the process of dribbling and running. He dodged between the gap created for him by center Ye Zongtian and Luo Yiyun, and then spared near the three-point line. At this time, Zhang Zhenyi had already passed the ball to Zheng Shaofeng, who was located near the free throw line. Zhenyi paused in place for a second, then ran to the left sideline.
Zheng Shaofeng passed back again to Zhang Zhenyi, who had gotten rid of the defense under the cover of his teammates. At the first time, with a very fast speed, he received the ball and went directly to the basket, and Zhenyi's strong individual singles ability was fully displayed at this time, blocking the opponent's center who was supplementing the defense with one hand, and throwing a basketball board in the air with the other hand to score.
"This tactic seems similar!" Li Xin touched his chin and pondered.
"Hehe, think about it! It is indeed a well-known offensive tactic. Zhou Junyi glanced at Li Xin with a smile.
"Isn't this the usual triangular offensive tactic used by the Chicago Bulls in the Jordan era?" Li Xin said.
"Yo, you can see this, it's amazing! Li Xin! Zhou Junyi heard Li Xin's muttering and shouted in surprise.
After the timeout, he scored four points in a row. The score gap was quickly narrowed. Mo Zhongyan is indeed the head coach of the old spicy, he clearly sees the situation on the field, and is not impatient.
Li Xin looked at Mo Zhongyan on the bench and saw him smile slightly, showing a smug expression.
"Wu Sheng strengthened his defense in the second half, yes, these players are top-notch in defense and coverage. But the offensive ability is still unknown, but judging from these two attacks, it still depends on Jiang Chengyi to finish. It can be concluded that the scoring ability of these people is not very strong, and if the scoring and defensive ability are as strong, why bother to delay until the second half to use them. There must be shortcomings. The defensive ability has gone up a level, but the offensive ability has fallen down a level. We can respond to all changes with the same attitude, and we only need to make tactical adjustments to meet the enemy. Mo Zhongyan thought to himself, and he didn't feel that his smug expression had been exposed and was captured by Li Xin.
"We still have a lot of offensive tactics to play!"
The two sides had four more offensive and defensive rounds, and Wu Sheng only relied on Jiang Chengyi's personal breakthrough to score two points. The remaining three attacks were unsuccessful. Nanyang was able to seize three scoring chances. After four rounds, the two sides were separated by just one point.
Coach Wusheng also seemed to see the passive situation on the court, taking advantage of the break in fouls to replace Meng Fangzhi and still replace the starting point guard Zhang Chengfeng.
Zhang Chengfeng is also a sophomore in high school, and has served as the main point guard since the team's core point guard Wang Linzhou left the team last year. In this year, Wang Linzhou has been taught by words and deeds, he is both diligent and talented, and now he has grown a lot. In addition to the slight lack of defensive ability, the organization of offense, scoring, control of passes, and the vision of the whole game are excellent. The run-in with Jiang Chengyi in the backfield is also becoming more and more mature. At 57:56, Wu Sheng only had a slight advantage, and the third quarter of the game was about to end, if Wu Sheng won another 2:1 advantage at Nanyang's home stadium, he would win the battle of Tianwang Mountain and establish a huge advantage. If Nanyang wins back a city, then the situation will be completely reversed. This game is crucial, who will die in this game?
"Replace a defender, change a playmaker. Is it to balance offensive and defensive capabilities? Li Xin looked at the changes on the field, lowered his head and thought, but this time he didn't ask Zhou Junyi questions. He wanted to think for himself whether the changes on the pitch would be as he expected:
"Replace a guard who can defend, but the defensive system built around Zhong Zhengmin on the inside is still there. Zhang Chengfeng's defense can't be said to be bad, even if he is broken by the opponent, there is still the help of his teammates. Nanyang's point guard Liu Yanhe, although his shooting ability has improved greatly this year, his offensive ability with the ball is not good, as long as he guards the fixed point, the pressure on the periphery defense is not very great. But if Zhang Zhenyi is misplaced and attacks Zhang Chengfeng, Wu Sheng will suffer a little. In the first half, Nanyang led a lot of balls like this, and it depends on whether Zhou Yuxuan, another defensive striker swingman, can effectively contain Zhang Zhenyi's play. On the other hand, on the Nanyang side, the offensive tactics seem to be endless, and the defense is not bad, but it is this group of main players who have played until now, and in the next game at the last moment, can the physical strength hold, or what players can be on the bench? It's a question mark. ”
After that, the game went into a stalemate, with both sides stepping up defensively. The growth of the score has become slow, Wusheng mainly relies on Jiang Chengyi and Li Mengzhou's blocking, sometimes Jiang Chengyi scores with mid-distance shooting, and sometimes Jiang Chengyi feeds the ball to Li Mengzhou after the blockade is successful, relying on the height advantage to eat the opponent inside to score, and has the opportunity to pass to the outside with Zhang Chengfeng's stable fixed-point jumper. The excellent individual ability of the two inside and outside really makes Nanyang have no more way but to rely on his own more systematic attack.
Zhang Zhenyi and Luo Yiyun attacked more from the flanks, and Liu Yanhe acted as the organizer of the attack at this time, delivering ammunition for the breakthrough of the two. Sometimes Zhang Zhenyi will rely on his personal ability, and after changing the defense through the cover of his teammates, he can play Zhang Chengfeng, who has relatively weak defensive ability. The inside line Ye Zongtian is looking for opportunities to occasionally grab offensive rebounds and complete the second offense.
"I can't imagine that today's basketball games for high school students can be played so methodically and systematically! The young Ruzhang Zhenyi, Jiang Chengyi, can play so calmly. It's not entirely on your own personal ability. It's impressive! Zhou Junyi looked at the stalemate game and kept nodding.
There are still 5 minutes left in the game, 65:65 draw!
Are the last five minutes still so stale? Save the suspense to the end, or will one side break the deadlock and play a small climax to take the game away?
