Chapter 5 Lost Traces Section 39 Offense and Defense in the Second Half
"Zhuo, sat on a cold bench in the first half, are you sober?" Li Xin asked a little ill-willedly.
"You kid, you dare to laugh at me, my ass is about to sit out of the cocoon!" Zhuo was furious, jumped up from the bench in the locker room, and stuck Li Xin's neck with his arm.
"You guy, I'm ......" Li Xin couldn't stand it a little and scratched Zhuo's waist.
"Hahahaha!" Zhuo couldn't stand it anymore, and finally let go of his hand, and few people knew that this was one of Zhuo's weaknesses.
"Seriously, we have to perform well in the second half, although it is just a training game, we can represent the honor of Asia and the face of the Chinese!"
"It's all on me! Watch my Zhuo Dashuai performance! ”
"Zhuo Dashuai"
"This name, the soil is scum!"
"Alright, assemble!" Li Xin beckoned his teammates to form a circle and asked, "What are we?" ”
Others were a little surprised, what exactly was they going to ask?
"We are the best junior basketball players selected from each country, and we are the elite of Asia!" Li Xin said.
"So I'm not going to back down in the second half and fight for Asian glory!"
"Good!"
"What are we?" Li Xin repeated it again.
"We are the Asian elite! We are strong! The Asian team members shouted in unison.
At the beginning of the second half, Xia Hongsen replaced Sato, and Zhuo Yifan also came into play, and there were three Chinese players on the field at this time.
Xia Hun Sen hit a three-pointer at the beginning and sounded the alarm on the European United defense.
An offensive shot of the European United team missed, and the counterattack of the Asian team, Zhuo Yifan received the ball at the three-point line, holding the ball in both hands, facing the opponent's big forward Richie, shaking quickly left and right, and Rich didn't know where the opponent was going to break through for a while. He took half a step back, but Zhuo didn't move, and feigned a shooting stance to cause Richie to pounce forward, and Zhuo jumped up again and leaned on Richie, successfully causing him to foul.
"Will this Chinese power forward shoot a three-pointer?" The rest of the Asian team was surprised.
The answer, of course, is "No!" ”
"Hey, hey, fooled! I was actually deceived by my feigned shooting, gave a serve, or three free throws, hahaha! Zhuo stood on the free-throw line and looked at Richie and giggled alone.
Richie clearly felt a chill behind him, and his eyes were dark, from the opponent's deep frame. This kind of teasing made Richie unwilling, and walked behind Zhuo's back and made a very hidden poking action with the middle knuckle of his right hand towards Zhuo's waist, which hit Zhuo's "vital point".
Zhuo wanted to cry and laugh again, and with tears in his eyes, he laughed wildly, and fell to the ground.
While stretching out his hand on the ground to signal to the referee! "Referee! He fouled me and poked me tickle the flesh! He cried out pitifully.
"Hahahaha!" Li Xin and Xia Hongsen sneered, this guy was so funny, and it also brought a touch of relaxation to the tense game.
Although the referee didn't understand what Zhuo said, he still saw Richie's foul, and added a technical foul, and Zhuo Yifan got four free throw opportunities.
"Well done!" Li Xin stepped forward and patted Zhuo's hand as a sign of encouragement.
Zhuo hit the first three free throws, the fourth free throw, as soon as he made a shot, he knew that it was short, and indeed the ball bounced out in front of the basket, Zhuo took a big stride from the free throw line, jumped high, threw himself and grabbed a precious frontcourt rebound, did not wait for the air to fall, and directly threw the ball upwards and hit the basket. In this round, Zhuo grabbed 5 points,
The Asian team chased the score to 45-38 in one fell swoop.
After calling a timeout, the European team began to show their three-point advantage. First by Samaris also with three points.
Li Xin also did not show weakness in three-point shooting, and under Xia Jun's training and his own hard practice, the three-point shot has made great progress.
The two sides entered a tug-of-war, Yurisic caused Xia Hunssen to foul, two free throws and two hits, and Rich scored three points with free throws, and the European team took the lead again.
After that, the game entered a run-and-bomb battle, and here Samaris, Lucas hit three points in succession. Over there, Li Xin's mid-range jumper, Lin Xuemin's breakthrough layup, and Zhuo Yifan's basket rebound added to the scoreboard one after another.
62:53
Europe still have a nine-point advantage and they have a chance to pull away.
But a misplaced pass by center Jallari allowed Rich to dunk with seven seconds left in the third quarter, and the Asian team tied the score at 64-53. With an 11-point advantage, Europa United took the game into a decisive fourth quarter.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jurisic completely ignored Lin Xuemin's defense and shot a face frame shot.
The attack of the Asian United team was unfavorable, Xia Hun Sen burst into the inside line, no one received the ball for a while, and reluctantly passed the ball to the center Jalali, and before he could dribble, he lost the ball, and was quickly counterattacked by the European United, and the front court played three to three. Lucas failed to break through in the middle and passed to Yurisic on the outside, and Xia Hongsen hurriedly posted it and did not give the opponent a chance. At this time, Lucas had already swam to the bottom line on the right side, and Jurisic handed it back to Lucas, and Lin Xuemin immediately followed. Jurisic moved two inwards, Xia Hongsen was about to come up to wrap the clamp, and it hit Yurisic's arms, and Lucas's vacancy appeared. Immediately pass the ball, open three points.
"Oops!" Li Xin shouted, watching the ball only go into the basket, and Lucas hit it steadily.
The European team scored 5 points in a row, but the Asian team's offense was slow to open, Lin Xuemin received a pass on the right side of the baseline, but in the face of Lucas's defense, the three points were missed, and Yurisic pressed the center Jalaary in the rebounding scramble for a foul.
Serving on the sideline, Xia Hongsen's breakthrough layup still missed.
Europa United countered and Urisic dribbled across the front court to the left three-point line. The defense of the Asian United team in the middle was too contracted, and Yurisic passed directly to the newly inserted Samaris, without making any adjustments, and the front defense was empty, and he threw the ball and hollowed it into the net.
The fourth quarter came up for a minute and a half minutes and played 8:0, 72:53. Europa United stretched the gap to 19 points. The European side found a rhythm to score, and the Asian side struggled hard and asked for a timeout.
The Asian United team changed players and replaced them with an all-round forward player Ahn Jung-hyun from South Korea, who is 199cm tall, can break through, can shoot, and has a certain three-point ability on the outside. Replaced center Jalaari, it seems that he is going to score again.
Lin Xuemin hit a shot in a quick stop under the pressure of the opponent to pull back two points.
72:55
On the offensive of the European United, Lucas got another opportunity outside the three-point line on the right side, but this time he didn't feel good, the ball was not touched, Zhuo Yifan got the rebound, passed to Li Xin, and attacked the opponent's hinterland.
Li Xin quickly got rid of the opponent's interference and dribbled to the front court, Zhuo Yifan just stepped into the three-point line, and Li Xin handed a direct pass to Zhuo. Zhuo Yun took two steps and burst into the basket, and the opponent's double defense made it extremely difficult to shoot. Zhuo adjusted his hand shape, threw the ball high, the ball passed over the double inside hand, hit the rebound high, fell directly, and actually entered the net.
"Good shot! That's high! Zhuo's singles breakthrough strength is getting stronger and stronger! Li Xin admired in his heart.
72:57
"Come on!" On the way back, Zhuo and Li Xin both high-fived, still trailing by 15 points, but did not give up the hope of victory.
Richie's inside back-to-back single, causing another foul on Jalaary, who made both free throws.
The two sides each went back and forth to no avail, Li Xin and Zhuo Yifan made a dismantling, broke into the inside line, used extremely fast speed and disguised dribbling, slightly shook off the opponent's defense, and jumped directly near the free throw line. Today's Li Xin's shots in the face of defense are more stable and his anti-interference ability is more prominent. The ball hollows into the net.
"Beautiful!" Zhuo called happily. In less than two minutes, he chased 6 points in a row.
72:59
The rest of the team members were all seen to death, and Li Xin could only rely on his breakthrough ability to continuously attack the opponent's inner line, which was undoubtedly very physically demanding. Especially the interior players are all bigger than you, and if you want to successfully break through once, maintain speed and strength and have the stability of shooting, you must pay more physical strength and energy.
Li Xin beautifully shook off Samaris's defense and broke into the inside, but center Colimavis Hughes did not agree, and a hot pot hat fanned Li Xin's layup out of the bottom line.
After the successful defense, the Lithuanian center forward did not forget to shout twice, demonstrating to the opponent while also extremely releasing the restless sports hormones in the body.
Zhuo stepped forward to pull up Li Xin, who had fallen to the ground, and encouraged: "It's okay!" Let's continue to rush, it's a big deal to make him foul! ”
Baseline serve, this time Zhuo's strong attack, it's not that Zhuo doesn't want to pass the ball, but when a player from the Asian United team receives the ball, the European team all adopts one-on-one defense, and does not cover anyone. The remaining four teammates were all watched to death, and they had to rely on their own ability to break through one by one. The tactical purpose of the opponent is very clear, which is to let you break through on your own, consume your physical strength, reduce your success rate, and once the success rate is reduced, in the end it is also a blow to your own confidence.
Zhuo dribbled to the middle and leaned on Richie's body, jumped forward and made a forward shot, Rich couldn't control his body and leaned on Zhuo's body, violating Zhuo's cylinder space (in basketball, every player has the right to have the ground position he is on and the space above him (cylinder), this principle protects the ground position occupied by the player and the space above him. If the cylinder space created up at the time of shooting is violated, the opponent's defense is fouled. )。
Zhuo stood on the free throw line, already sweating profusely, and only played more than ten minutes of the game, and the opponent's tough defense also consumed the players' physical strength.
Turned the basketball, held it in his hand, got up and shot, the hand movement was very beautiful, standardized like a textbook, recalling Zhuo's ugly shooting posture two years ago, now it is a world of difference, which is inseparable from the training of coaches and teammates, especially Li Xin and Siyuan head coach Li Xiaolong. This makes Zhuo's free throws no longer a weakness.
Zhuo Wenwen made two free throws and two free throws, 72:61, still trailing by 11 points, and the time was only 5 minutes. (To be continued.) )
