Chapter 105: Advance to the semifinals
Just one day before the start of the semi-finals, Sina Sports selected CUBA's Player of the Year, but unfortunately, Xu Shengyu was only ranked third, Chen Taiquan, who had been highly vocal, ranked second, and Cheng Chi from Peking University won first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 There are good reasons why Cheng Chi won the CUBA Player of the Year award, he averaged 22.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 blocks per game, and almost single-handedly brought Peking University to the Final Four.
Xu Shengyu is first of all inferior to others in terms of data, and secondly, when it comes to the ability to lead the team, Li Dong's strength has been recognized, not to mention that there are fierce generals like Si Tianxiang, in comparison, it is not as amazing as Cheng Chi.
However, CUBA's Coach of the Year was won by Coach Duozhuang, and the old man smiled all day long, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the award. The reason for his selection is even more convincing, after Ma Xiaoxiao and others participated in the postgraduate entrance examination, a team that was not favored actually played the best record in the history of the school, so it is reasonable that this award should be awarded to him.
Li Dong didn't get mixed up with anything, but was ranked in the best team of CUBA that year, and was also voted the best newcomer of the year by the competitor website. is the best newcomer in Sohu Sports, and the selection is also Liang Yi, a freshman, who averaged 16.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists and 2 blocks per game, and Li Dong, who averaged only 13.8 points, 5.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game, was blown up after reading the data.
As soon as the time turned, it was May 21st, and the two semi-finals started one after another!
Li Dong's Zhengzhou University and Tsinghua University were going to take the lead in the competition, and after the players of the two teams were gearing up, they opened up their positions on this field of less than 500 square meters......
Tsinghua University is the No. 2 seed in the Northeast Division and the closest team to the normal strength that Zhengda has encountered so far.
There are two players on their team that are worth noting, one is the star of the house, Wei Zheng, who plays as a small forward, who can average 10.1 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, and the other is Jin Guangzhu, who is tall and has long arms!
The strength of the two is undoubted, especially Jin Guangzhu, who just cut 15 points and grabbed 8 rebounds on the head of Kentucky, the favorite to win the championship, leaving Guo Kai disgraced.
This time, in the face of favorites like Zhengzhou University, Tsinghua University's mentality is surprisingly stable.
"Be careful of the No. 9 player opposite, he is the tactical initiation point of Zhengzhou University!" Before the game, the head coach of Tsinghua University repeatedly stressed this point to Ban Duo, and from their professional point of view, Li Dong is now a greater threat than Xu Shengyu, who can score a lot of points in a game.
"Don't worry, Coach!" Banduo smiled happily, looking confident.
As a result, only four minutes into the game, Li Dong burst into three of him, and every breakthrough caused Tsinghua University's defense to lose position, although Zhengzhou University failed to grasp the opportunity of the vacant position, but it really made the head coach break out in a cold sweat.
As a result, his Diaoyutai immediately couldn't sit still, ran over to call a timeout, and turned back to set up the team's 1-3-1 joint defense strategy.
?“ Defense! Li Dong's eyes lit up when he returned to the field, and the changes in the defensive tactics of Tsinghua University were clear in his eyes, and several players were in a very delicate position in the horn area, looking at their side from time to time, with a malicious look in their eyes.
"I'm not that stupid." After Li Dong muttered, he handed the ball to the Dun Xiaomeng organization who mentioned the line, opened up the space by himself, and ran to the bottom line.
He is very clear that he is ready to run to the bottom corner and use the bottom line breakthrough to deal with Tsinghua University's joint defense.
As a result, he looked back, almost didn't jump up angrily, and Dun Xiaomeng, who received the ball, didn't pay attention to him at all, and after a fake pass, he broke through along the defender's backhand, and then broke through to the elbow area and found that there were too many enemies in front of him, and made a dashing mid-range jumper.
"Holy...... Hey, I'm actually in, count you up! Li Donggang wanted to scold, but found that the basketball fell into the basket steadily, and immediately choked the words back into his stomach.
When he returned to defense, he stretched out his hand to high-five Li Dong, but Li Dong glared at him and slapped his palm reluctantly.
"The opposite side is playing joint defense, I don't know what joint defense tactics will be in the next round, try to listen to my command." Li Dong said unceremoniously.
"Okay, okay, understand." Don Xiaomeng nodded violently, looking like he humbly admitted his mistake.
Li Dong is simply speechless, he is simply Alexander as a point guard. Many of these players are still willing to rely on simple and crude offensive methods to solve the game, but many times they are unreasonable to score.
For example, after coming back, Jin Guangzhu of Tsinghua University, the attacker, simply couldn't attack, after receiving the ball, he broke through on the spot, and then hit Xu Shengyu on the board and made a basket, which was also hit.
In fact, Li Dong himself didn't find that in the year of college, many of his technical moves were selectively forgotten, and in such a basketball cultural atmosphere, he sometimes had too much adrenaline hormone secretion, and would choose some seemingly irrational offensive methods, such as riding Tian Zhongwen before, such as hitting Hayward before and knocking him to pieces. And the effect achieved is not only to get two points, but also to skyrocket the morale of the players on the field!
Li Dong doesn't know morale, but he knows that these people sometimes quickly enter a state of rage because they complete a dunk, and their strength is several times stronger than in the previous ordinary state. In college competitions, many times because of a sudden outbreak, you lose the lead, or even fall into a desperate situation.
So how to motivate his teammates to fight, he knows it all in his mind, and this is also the basketball philosophy he realized after becoming the team commander.
After half-time, the two teams were evenly matched, with Zhengzhou University only leading by 3 points.
Tsinghua University is also not good at hanging the ground, although there are no complicated tactics, but it can grasp a lot of opportunities on the field, in the first half of the 8 conversion attacks, Tsinghua played 7 times, the only time was because Li Dong was back.
The real showdown was in the second half.
Li Dong didn't dare to hide his secrets, and when he saw that Si Tianxiang was difficult to get outstanding opportunities, he decisively occupied his share of the right to shoot and attacked with the ball himself.
The two teams were still anxiously tied at 58 until the final five minutes.
After the game, Jin Guangzhu said unconvinced: "Zhengzhou University just threw the ball at the critical time, which is not a big deal, we didn't score a few goals, so we lost the game." "What this means is that Zhengzhou University did not obviously force their strength, but we didn't shoot at the last moment and lost the opportunity to play.
After hearing this, Xu Shengyu sneered: "I laughed, isn't this kind of grasp of the key ball a reflection of the team's strength?" Our Super Don is an invincible big heart, you look at his two shots at the last moment, so hot-blooded, so calm, like a wolf with fangs exposed! “
After the semi-finals, CUBA arranged a simple press conference for the two teams, but I didn't expect this guy to be so worry-free, and the war of words with Jin Guangzhu made the media who finally got the opportunity to be interviewed.
Look at Li Dong, how quiet it was during the media conference.
Li Dong was drunk: "Actually, these two are too fast to speak, how can you let me interject?" ”
