When there were 3 minutes left to end the game, Huo Qilin was 4 points behind, and at this time Zhuo Feng returned to the court and replaced He Tongyun. After Zhuo Feng came on the field, the situation improved, but it was not optimistic. When there were only two offensive opportunities left in the game, Zhuo Feng took the ball, at this time the two sides were only one point apart, it was the Forest Tiger who lost one point, Zhuo Feng dribbled the ball after half the court and singled, Deng Ji ran to catch the ball, Zhuo Feng gave the ball to Deng Ji, and then pulled to the bottom line 0 degree angle, Deng Ji dribbled and wanted to attack, to shoot, and at this time he was not far from Zhuo Feng, so Zhang Ding, who defended Zhuo Feng, relaxed and wanted to pinch Deng Ji, Deng Ji had a tendency to jump, Zhang Ding pounced and formed a bag with Du Lan, Deng Ji rose to the highest point, had to shoot, the ball flew away, and went straight to the basket, Everyone is ready to grab the rebound, the basketball smashed to the basket, "bang", the ball bounced high, was obtained by the oolong, the oolong passed the ball to Ma Jiao, Ma Jiao's attack was blocked, Zhuo Feng ran to the back to ask for the ball, after getting the ball, run quickly, run to the bottom line three-point line in one go, shoot on the ground, three-point shot, the court seems to be very quiet at this moment, and the sound of the heartbeat can be heard.
The basketball was a good-looking parabola, flying to the basket, and with a "bang", the court resumed noisy, "whoa", all the students in class 23 cheered, and the students in class 19 were very depressed, and Zhuo Feng locked the victory in advance with a three-point shot. Just when everyone was cheering, Zhuo Feng fell to the ground, and Zhou Lang saw that the situation was not right, and immediately rushed to the field. Zhou Lang asked anxiously, "Zhuo Feng, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" Then all of my teammates came around.
Zhuo Feng sat on the ground, covered his calves, and replied, "It's okay, it's just that I exercised too much, and my calf muscles cramped, and it will be fine after a while." Then Mu Tulong and Zhou Lang helped Zhuo Feng off the field, the game continued, the 4-point gap was not solved by one attack, and finally the Fire Qilin narrowly defeated the Forest Tiger by 2 points.
Off the field, Yan Rudan complained, "If you don't listen to you, you won't be forced to do it, you'll be injured this time." ”
"It's okay, it's just muscle cramps, it's almost the same as walking and spraining your foot, it's not a big deal, just rest for a while, and I'm guaranteed to be alive again tomorrow."
At this time, the other two games were also over. The repeating (2) class won the game 72:67, and the senior three (6) class beat the senior three (3) class with two points. Tomorrow's final, the three winning classes will play one game each. The winner of two games is the champion, and if not, the ranking is based on points.
On the afternoon of the second day, the finals, Tongbao Middle School. The school will not only have the junior high school students of the school, but also the people from outside the school who come to Xilong Middle School, and the stands around the basketball court can be said to be full, and there are people who have brought audio microphones to explain on the spot, which is of course done by the student union.
The draw of lots for the game determines the opening, three draws, one blank, the team drawn does not need to play for the time being, and the other two teams start first. The repeat class is drawn first, then the senior three (6) class, and then the Zhuo Feng class. Pang Yue took it out and took a look, okay, it's not a blank lot, it's the repeating (2) class that won the blank lot. The third (6th) class VS the second (23rd) class, when the two teams were warming up, the commentator Huang Liangmeng was broadcasting the starters of the two teams, "Let's take a look at the starters of the two classes, the third (6th) class of high school is: Captain No. 1, Xiao Yunfei, point guard, good at running; No. 2, Long Fan, scoring guard, good at step-back jumpers; No. 3, Hong Qi, center, 188cm; No. 4, Yun Ding, power forward; No. 5, Yan Pengfei, small forward, good at scoring with hook hands under the basket. As soon as they came up, they sent out the strongest lineup, and it seems that they are very serious about their opponents. ”
Another commentator, Du Feilong, continued, "Let's take a look at the other team's starters: first of all, the captain Pang Yue, wearing the No. 1 jersey, is a defender, good at strong bursts, and it is easy to get injured in a collision with it; Then there is our school's recent man of the year, the big singer Zhuo Feng, No. 2, is also a guard, and we know from recent games that he is best at three-pointers; No. 3 Deng Ji is a swing man; No. 8 Ma Jiao, good at mid-pitching; No. 17, He Tongyun, power forward. (23) Ban did not let center Ma Feilong play today, it seems that the tactics are going to change, let's look forward to the surprises that both sides will bring. ”
With the commentary of the commentator, the game also began. He Tongyun lost the jump ball to Hong Qi, and the first ball was obtained by the senior (6) class. Hong Qi dialed the ball to Xiao Yunfei, and Xiao Yunfei took advantage of Yun Ding's block, broke through, and reached a 45° angle on the left wing to face Deng Ji. With such a misalignment, the Fire Qilin's defense was suddenly a little chaotic. At this time, Yan Pengfei had an empty space in the middle position, but Xiao Yunfei did not pass the ball, turned around and made a backward jumper at the bottom line, and Pang Yue's block was unsuccessful, but it was missed because the ball was too difficult. The ball was picked up by Ma Jiao, who rushed in, and Ma Jiao quickly organized a counterattack. The ball was made up by Zhuo Feng, and the two sides had a tacit understanding in the first quarter and did not defend with all their might, and the first quarter became a battle of points, and the first quarter ended, with the score of 28:29 between the two sides, and the fire unicorn was 1 point behind.
Du Feilong said, "Zhuo Feng's speed is like three points, which is very impressive. ”
Huang Liangmeng followed, "Yes, the first quarter is mainly the confrontation between Zhuo Feng and Long Fan, and Zhuo Feng's speed prolongs the opportunity for the two teams to attack. If it weren't for a few balloons, it would have been the (23) class lead by now. ”
At the beginning of the second quarter, there were some bad signs, the fire unicorn couldn't shoot three times, and the senior year also hit the iron frequently, both sides became blacksmiths, and in the opening 4 minutes, there was no goal. Not to mention the depression of playing, the people who watch the ball are also depressed.
Huang Liangmeng said with a microphone on the sidelines, "I'm KAO, they seem to be possessed by a blacksmith, so I don't know which famous blacksmith appeared." ”
"Could it be the famous iron-striking grandmaster Ou Yezi?" Du Feilong said.
Although it was frost today, the players who played did not feel cold, and the players who did not play off the field wore their coats.
At the end of the second quarter, the score was only 35:34, which was basically thankless, and before the third quarter began, the two teams went on the bench to warm up, and the physical strength of the main force must be insufficient. Because the oolong did not play, the fire unicorn suffered a little in rebounding, but the offensive and defensive transitions were faster and the tactics were more flexible. In the third quarter, Pang Yue decided to send five people: Oolong, Monkey, Dase, Li Wei, and Mutulong. At the beginning of the third quarter, Monkey was responsible for organization, Oolong was responsible for mid-post and rebounding, Mu Tulong was responsible for blocking and dismantling, Li Wei was responsible for attracting vitality, and Dase was responsible for running. In the third quarter, the fire unicorn stabilized, and the two sides fought to a 49-all draw.
"It can be seen that the short-board substitute for class 23 has performed very well today, stabilized the situation, and did not let the main force excessively consume physical strength to chase points, I heard that yesterday, Zhuo Feng was injured in this way." Du Feilong explained.
"Do you know why?" Huang Liangmeng asked.
"Of course, no matter what, I'm also explaining. It is clear that they are mainly tactical successes today, there is a clear division of labor, and they are not as scattered as they used to be. It must have been instructed by a master. ”
Yesterday, night, Zhihui Building, Room 309.
"Ah Feng, it's not okay to be like you, you're working too hard today." Zhuo Feng of the Majiao team said, "This, we all know, it is still Ah Long, Li Wei and their lack of ability, which causes us to chase points." ”
"We've got to find a way to improve their offensive ability."
"That's what I thought, too. It is obviously impossible to improve their individual abilities in a short period of time, so we can only change tactics and improve their cooperation. Zhuo Feng thought for a few seconds and said.
"What's the solution?" Ma Jiao asked again.
"Isn't there no morning self-study tomorrow morning, let's go to the armed forces department, and discuss it there again." Zhuo Feng slept on the bed. "Hey, there seems to be a tactical approach to the help of the [Basketball King] on the virtual mirror." Zhuo Feng thought.
The next morning, today, they practiced cooperation for a long time in the armed forces. The substitutes used a 3 and 2 combined defense, while the main force was a 2 and 3 combined defense. This kind of defense is effective when the opposition doesn't have a three-point shooter.
