"It's a terrible feeling to watch your teammates compete on the pitch and sit on the sidelines."

"I want to play, I want to play, I want to play!"

"I think every big game can bring me more progress than normal games and training, and I've been improving at a pace that I can't believe in every game since I got to the Final Four. Because I love the feeling of a big game, the feeling of being watched by tens of thousands of people, playing under pressure, it makes my adrenaline rush in my body, and I think as soon as I get on the field, the more I compete, the more excited I become, and in this extreme excitement I will surpass my original self. ”

The teenager's mind kept echoing his feelings on the sidelines, and this was the biggest challenge for him in his 17 years, facing last year's champion Nanyang High School in the final game of the semi-finals, and was appointed to replace Han Chongyu, the absolute core of the team, at the crucial moment of only two points behind.

"I'm starting to get more and more excited, I'm hungry for the game, and I'm so excited to face Zhang Qiyi."

The whistle remembered that the timeout was over, 65:63, and the game was only 8 minutes to end, and Li Xin went on the court with great ambition.

Nanyang was obviously very unhappy with the previous series of points, and just after the timeout, he quickly dribbled the ball to the front court, intending to continue to open the score.

The ball in Zhang Qiyi's hand flew back and forth, which also represents Nanyang's vigorous offensive Yu Wang, but the excess of offensive Yu Wang often evolves into a hasty or careless mistake, Li Xin is to seize Zhang Qiyi's dribble too high and focus on the loophole of the passing object, skillfully steal the ball, quickly launch a fast attack, and personally make a layup, 65 draws. The fledgling Li Xin made her debut in the most crucial game, breaking the ball of the opponent's ace player, leaving the opponent with no face.

However, this aroused Nanyang's fighting spirit even more, Zhang Qiyi began to frequently provoke Li Xin, and more began to take the ball alone to beat Li Xin, and his teammates did not give Li Xin more cover, Zhang Qiyi, who has strong personal ability, repeatedly won six points in a row, and then opened the score again. The race is getting hot.

Zhang Qiyi was very proud, and after repeatedly succeeding in front of Li Xin, he had basically recovered the embarrassment of being stolen by Li Xin. Li Xin secretly decided: "I can't let him score again, and I can't let him take a step forward." ”

Immediately it was Siyuan's turn to attack, Nanyang's close pressing defense continued from the backfield to the front, without the slightest hint of slackness, which really put a lot of pressure on Siyuan, each attack has to pay more strength and energy than usual offense, especially in terms of mental concentration, a little bit of difference, will inevitably be counterattacked by Nanyang, from this extent the energy consumption may be several times that of usual, the foreheads of Siyuan's players on the field began to sweat big.

In the half-court defense, Nanyang mainly focuses on man-to-man defense and bag defense, once the opponent has a slight instability with the ball, there will be one more player who comes forward to pack and steal, so more often, the ball is controlled in the hands of guards with better ball control skills, and do not dare to let the inside player take the ball more, if he takes the ball, it is also a pass that immediately faces the basket to score. Li Xin knew this very well in his heart, and the creation of the "critical point" was his biggest gain from the previous battle with Light. And instead of passing to the outside player to make a mid-to-long range shooting attempt, the close-range shot passed to the inside player undoubtedly has a greater success rate, which Li Xin knows very well.

And the secret of breaking man-to-man pressing defense is to constantly intersperse, passing, if the more time interspersed in a unit of time, the more times the pass is reversed, the easier it is for the opponent's defensive net to be torn apart, and at the same time, it will not lead to a 30-second violation, these are obvious.

Li Xin held the ball in one hand and began to direct his teammates to make reasonable runs with the other, mainly the rotation of interior players and the back and forth movement of outside players. And Li Xin is waiting for an opportunity to look for a fleeting opportunity in this:

In Li Xin, Peng Chenzhi and Xia Jun formed a triangle on the right side, Li Xincai passed the ball to Peng Chenzhi, and was immediately sandwiched by two players, but this was just an opportunity, Peng Chenzhi passed the ball to Xia Jun behind him before he held it steadily, Xia Juncai got the ball and was marked by Zhang Qiyi, and Li Xin was vacant here, but Li Xin's long-distance shot near the three-point line was still not too sure, Zhang Qiyi probably also expected this, so he dared to put Li Xin on the outside. Shooting can't succeed, break through the head office, it's a bag again, this time the bag was replaced by Li Xin, but Li Xin's pass has two choices, Peng Chenzhi and Xia Jun There is only one person between the two to mark, Zhang Qiyi still focuses on Xia Jun-Siyuan's number one pitcher, just a very hidden gesture, Peng Chenzhi understood, and came to the basket with a turn, and it was this moment, there was no one to watch, Li Xin divided the ball in time, Peng Chenzhi easily scored on the board, and at this time the defenders who pounced on it were too late, only gave Peng Chenzhi a chance to make a free throw, and he also hit a free throw. Si Yuan chased the score back to 3 points behind.

And this positional offense fully shows Li Xin's ability to dispatch and command on the spot, in the case of the opponent's tight defense, he is still not in a hurry, very patient and calm to tear apart the opponent's defense layer by layer, and find a trace of space for teammates to score easily, all of which a good point guard has, and Li Xin performed vividly in this attack. Even Nanyang's head coach Mo Zhongyan nodded slightly on the sidelines to express his appreciation, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Siyuan's strength as a substitute should not be underestimated, although he does not have Han Chongyu's amazing scoring ability, but he is better than Han Chongyu in mobilizing the attack power of the whole team." ”

At this point in the game, no matter which side is no longer stingy with physical strength, and defend with all its might, the scope of defense is the whole field, every time and every place must interfere with the opponent, and the opponent can not comfortably take the ball to advance to the frontcourt, the shorter the time for the opponent to advance to the front, the more time to get the offense, and the more surplus it is to attack the position, and on the contrary, the defender is rapidly advanced by the opponent, the less time can be done to prepare for the position, and it is undoubtedly easier to score points for the opponent if he is not fully prepared for defense. Therefore, being able to press the opponent one second later than halftime does not allow the opponent to give the opponent more time to organize the attack half a second earlier.

Li Xin vs. Zhang Qiyi, maybe this was unimaginable a year ago, when Zhang Qiyi was already a superstar in the famous Shanghai high school basketball world, and Li Xin could only be regarded as a basketball lover at best, because he didn't even enter the school team, and today, in the game that decided the two seats for the Shanghai semi-finals to enter the national competition, Li Xin did stand on this court, and he was facing Zhang Qiyi, a teenager who was regarded as the rising star of Shanghai basketball.

"This is the battlefield, and now is the most intense time! I want to lead the team to victory, and then enter the national competition, not to Han Chongyu, not to the coach, not to leave regrets for my partners, because I hate regrets! ”

"So I can't take half a step back, I'm not going to leave myself behind!!"

"If you feel confident in your own strength, let it go, I won't take half a step back." Li Xin's words were extremely provocative.

"Oh, interesting! Brat! ”

Zhang Qiyi took a big step and opened the stance, without the slightest intention of giving the ball to his teammates, it was obvious that he had accepted Li Xin's challenge.

"Let's divide the ranks!!"

Break out on the left!! Li Xin stubbornly resisted the line on the left. The sudden disguise, which seemed to have been recognized by Li Xin, stood firmly in front of Zhang Qiyi. There is a lot of determination in his eyes, as if he is telling his opponent that he is determined.

"This kid, when did he become so agile."

"Human ability may not be predictable by itself, there are many potentials that will only be shown at the most critical moment, the key to guiding this ability is the spirit, and the high concentration of the spirit is the fuse that guides this ability. And Li Xin's spirit has been completely immersed in the game at this moment, so his physical body has also improved. ”

After a few rounds, Zhang Qiyi couldn't break through, and there was a hint of impatience in his heart, and after a few quick cross-step dribble breakthroughs, he connected a bumper breakthrough......

"Chew ......!"

"Offensive foul No. 4!"

"What!"

Li Xin had already fallen to the ground, with a wicked smile on his face, his calmness and Zhang Qiyi's recklessness were in stark contrast, and in this confrontation, Li Xin had the upper hand.

"I won this time!" Walking by Zhang Qiyi's side, Li Xin did not forget to say the last sentence.

"Calm down, this kid is provoking you, I can't fall for him."

"You won just now, but you didn't have that much luck this time. Come on! ”

Li Xin organized another attack by Siyuan......

"A good point guard doesn't necessarily need to have a strong scoring ability, but a really terrible point guard is someone who knows the abilities of other teammates on the court, and knows very well that if you play the ability of your teammates, the whole team will become a group with great attacking power, so that the opponent will not know where every attack is launched, and the combat effectiveness of a team is not comparable to that of a super scorer, and the invincible division is led by such a point guard."

"General! It is a brave general who attacks the city and pulls out the village, blocks a hundred, and looks at the opponent's head as a probing bag. On the court, Han Chongyu is undoubtedly a general, and scoring is like a bag for him. ”

"And the handsome talent is more than the general, maybe the siege of the city, fighting alone, is not as good as the general, but on command, strategy, tactics, can give full play to their own strengths to overcome the opponent's shortcomings. On the court, Li Xin is more like a handsome talent, he does not have Han Chongyu's breakthrough scoring ability, Xia Jun's long-range shooting skills, and Zhuo Yifan's excellent bounce and rebounding ability, but he has extremely keen insight, and when attacking, he can find and discover any gap that may be scored before others. ”

At this time, Li Xin is trying his best to show his true colors, not to score alone, but to lead the team to score, which is obviously different from Han Chongyu, it turned out that facing Han Chongyu for thirty minutes, as long as Han Chongyu was prevented, Siyuan's attack was prevented, but this time it was different. Zhang Qiyi will hesitate, he can't judge whether Li Xin will break through by himself, or will cleverly pass the ball to his teammates, his way of passing the ball is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and breaking through the conventional way of passing, so that teammates can comfortably hold the ball is the guarantee of high offensive efficiency, Siyuan's attack points are all over any position on the field, making the opponent tired.

"No. 5 Yang Jinglong scored ,...... shot"

"No. 6 Peng Chenzhi received Li Xin's basket and made a wonderful pass to score ,......"

"No. 9 Xia Jun, unmarked at a zero degree angle on the left side, easily shot and scored......"

Si Yuan's offense blossomed everywhere, not only recovering all the previous backward points, but also starting to overtake the opponent, time gradually passed, if this momentum was maintained, victory was already beckoning to Si Yuan.
