Chapter 174: Battle
While the two were talking, Tao Ran walked in from outside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Everyone looked at Tao Ran in unison, Tao Ran waved his hand, everyone quieted down, and then he said: "I just went out to take a look, there are a lot of audiences today, and the atmosphere is also very 'warm', wait a while, take it easy, don't pay attention to those audiences, how to fight and how to fight, you know?" ā
"Hmm."
"Coach, don't worry, we won't be intimidated by any home momentum now."
Everyone said that after a few games in the group stage, they have completed their transformation and are no longer afraid of this game atmosphere.
Tao Ran bowed his head, and was not verbose, seeing that everyone had already cleaned up, he clapped his hands, pushed open the door, and walked out with everyone.
Coming out of the players' tunnel, there was a shocking boo in the audience, but everyone in Hongcheng had adapted to this atmosphere, looked calm, and ignored those spectators, only waving at the bureau chief and the cheerleaders in front of the audience.
Just like last time, Director Hongcheng came over with the cheerleaders to cheer for the city team fighting away!
After a while, the people of the Donglin team also arrived.
For a while, the audience cheered thunderously, like thunder, and the entire stadium seemed to be shaking, and the atmosphere was very warm.
One by one, the people of the Donglin team came out, and Li Changgeng looked at them one by one, although he had already known the player information of the Donglin team, but at this time, he could be regarded as the right number.
The center forward of the Donglin team is called Marseille, who is two meters and five meters tall and weighs 119 kilograms, and is the core of the Donglin team and the captain. It is characterized by excellent physical fitness, all-round skills, flexible footwork under the basket, and excellent defense.
The big forward is called Da Hei, who is two meters and one meters tall and weighs 110 kilograms, and his physical fitness is also very good, and his bounce is very good.
Brother Xiaohou, a small forward, is 1.97 meters tall, which is tall in this position, but his weight is on the low side, only 92 kilograms, and he is weak in strength confrontation. But he's fast, has excellent ball passing, shoots accurately, and has an offensive range that extends beyond the three-point line.
Xu Anya, a positionless player, is the second role of the Donglin team in addition to Marseille, with excellent physical fitness, comprehensive skills, can shoot suddenly, and has excellent scoring ability, so he can play in all positions, and he can average 25.6 points per game this season, which is a big support for the Donglin team.
Point guard He Minxu, 1.85 meters tall, weighing 84 kilograms, weak strength, but fast speed, steady ball control, wide passing vision, skilled skills, is a very good point guard, responsible for the team's organization, especially good at fast break.
Several people came out of the players' tunnel one by one, and Li Changgeng also remembered their appearance.
Of course, Xu Anya has known him for a long time.
After such an observation, he couldn't see too much, but Li Changgeng could feel that these people were all very powerful characters: "These people are not ordinary." ā
At the same time, Guangxi.
In Hongcheng, many classmates crowded into the commissary together, and a group of people stared at the TV, waiting for the game to start.
Hongcheng, the commissary is also crowded with people, and there are even many girls, everyone looks at the TV screen, silently praying in their hearts, hoping that Hongcheng can win.
Guangxi East China Economic Company, this time in addition to Luo Jinnan, Xiaoli, and assistants, there are more than a dozen young people.
These young people are all members of the East China Economic Company, and they are all good seedlings selected by Luo Jinnan, and they were summoned by Luo Jinnan today, and they moved a small bench and gathered around Luo Jinnan and Xiaoli, with a somewhat disapproving expression on their faces.
"Hmph." Seeing the expressions of his players, Luo Jinnan snorted and reprimanded: "Don't look disapproving, although you have both practiced basketball since you were children, and you are much better than most of your peers, but compared to Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, you are still far behind." Keep my eyes open and look at it, see how people play, and save your eyes above the top. ā
"Oh." A group of people agreed, looking at the TV.
......
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially began.
When the players on both sides came on the field, Xu Anya walked towards Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, looked at the two and said, "Li Changgeng, Sima Shenji, do you still remember our original agreement?" ā
"Hmm."
"Of course I do." The two said.
Xu Anya said: "We finally met, I won't lose to you this time, I'll see the real chapter on the field later." ā
"Okay." Sima Shenji nodded.
"Hmm." Li Changgeng also nodded, and said seriously: "I won't show mercy to my subordinates later." ā
"Haha, no need, I haven't been idle for half a year, and you'll know later, I'm not the same me I was half a year ago." Xu Anya said with a smile.
The three men clashed their fists, then dispersed, returning to their respective positions, where the referee came up and threw the ball into the air.
"It's a bouncing ball." In the audience, thousands of people did not blink.
In front of the TV, Hongcheng, many students in Hongcheng, and even students from other schools in the city all stared at the TV screen and held their breath.
Guangxi East China Economic Company, everyone quieted down and looked at the TV screen.
At this moment, I don't know how many people are watching this game, and how many people are paying attention to Hongcheng and Donglin team. This is a cross-elimination match in the South Zone, a life-and-death game that has touched the hearts of countless people, all of whom are praying for the team they support.
At this moment, the orange basketball rises, attracting everyone's attention and indicating that the game has finally begun!
With a "snap", the basketball was touched by Marseille and given to He Minxu, which surprised everyone in Hongcheng that Nongguang lost the jumping ball.
You know, jumping ball is Nongguang's forte, and he usually doesn't lose, but today he missed it and lost to Marseille.
"Defense." Sima Shenji was the first to react and shouted.
Hongcheng and several people quickly returned to the defense, settled in their positions, and each held his position, waiting for the people of the Donglin team to come.
Today, Hongcheng used two or three joint defenses, Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji were at the top, and when they saw He Minxu coming, Sima Shenji quickly pasted it, and Li Changgeng also greeted Xu Anya.
"Ball." Seeing Li Changgeng coming, Xu Anya was not stunned at all, Li Changgeng, the owner of the card in one hand, and Liu Kai in the other, shouted at He Minxu.
"Okay." He Minxu hit the ground and passed the ball over.
Xu Anya took the ball, lowered her center of gravity, looked up at Li Changgeng, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Li Changgeng, I must defeat you this time." ā
Li Changgeng opened his hands, stared at Xu Anya's shoulder, and said indifferently: "Come on, let me see how much you have improved in the past six months." ā
Xu Anya nodded, and shook her shoulders, causing Li Changgeng's center of gravity to shift slightly, while Xu Anya seized this momentary opportunity and kicked her foot on the ground, like an arrow, and started quickly. His speed was very fast, and he killed Li Changgeng from his side.
"So fast." Li Changgeng was shocked, Xu Anya's speed was much faster than half a year ago, which caught him off guard.
At this time, Li Changgeng was already out of position, so he could only quickly pursue, and at the same time shouted at Nongguang on the inside line: "Nongguang, pay attention to the defense." ā
Nongguang took a step forward, waiting for Xu Anya to come up, as long as Xu Anya dared to make a move, he didn't mind giving the other party a hot pot and making the other party suffer a little.
Xu Anya also saw Nongguang, his heart moved, his footsteps suddenly stopped, his legs were bent, and he was about to jump, Nongguang even jumped up to block it, but found that Xu Anya didn't jump at all, but took his left foot as the center, and turned to the left sharply, just bypassing him, and scored an easy basket.
"Good shot!"
In the audience, thousands of spectators shouted in unison.
"My bad." Nongguang raised his hand and signaled that it was his fault, first he was lost to Marseille by the jump ball, and then he was deceived by Xu Anya, and he was really depressed.
"It's okay, isn't it just a ball, I'll see how I can help you get it back later." Li Changgeng smiled and patted Nongguang, "Let's go, attack." ā
Hongcheng attacked, and Sima Shenji advanced with the ball.
After halftime, he quickly handed the ball to Li Changgeng, not that Li Changgeng took the initiative to ask for the ball, but that Tao Ran's tactics were arranged in this way. Offensively, Sima Shenji is a point guard, but the starting point of the offense is Li Changgeng, so the ball will come to him first.
"Want to return one? Come on, I also want to see how much you have improved in the past six months. Xu Anya secretly said in her heart, waiting for the battle.
The ball jumped between Li Changgeng's hands, like an elf, it seemed that the dribble speed was not fast, but there was no law at all, which made Xu Anya depressed, unable to find the law at all, and there was no fixed rhythm, obviously the ball speed was very slow, but he didn't dare to go up and pull out the ball. Because it is difficult to succeed in this situation, and once it fails, then it will be cleaned up by Li Changgeng.
"Forget it, just hold your position, it's not worth the risk." Xu Anya quickly calmed down, and it was not surprising that she couldn't steal it.
Seeing that Xu Anya didn't come up, Li Changgeng smiled slightly, simply forced up, and suddenly broke through from Xu Anya's right side with an acceleration, Xu Anya quickly moved over, but Li Changgeng suddenly changed direction under his crotch, which caught Xu Anya off guard, and he hurriedly adjusted his body and shifted his center of gravity.
At this moment, Li Changgeng suddenly turned around, his movements were extremely chic, and he rushed past Xu Anya's side with a whoosh. At this time, Xu Anya had no time to adjust, so she could only watch Li Changgeng pass by her, enter the inner line, and jump up.
"This is my territory, look for death!" Marseille roared wildly, stepped forward, and jumped up, and a pair of big fan-like hands Liu Kai fanned towards the ball.
However, this one was empty.
"What?" Marseille was so shocked that he turned his head to see a figure soaring into the air, grabbing the basketball in the air, raising his arms backwards and smashing them into the basket.
This, it turned out to be an empty connection!
With a "bang", under the force of Nongguang's hands, the basket was seriously deformed.
Seeing this scene, the audience was stunned, their eyes widened one by one, and they were secretly worried in their hearts, this guy is so strong, he won't tear the basket off, right?
......
Guangxi, East China Economic Corporation.
Watching TV, all the team members of the East China Economic Company, except for the assistant, everyone else was stunned, and Liu had a big mouth, and he could stuff duck eggs.
The assistant has played against Hong Cheng, so it's not surprising, but other people rarely pay attention to the high school league, and they haven't watched Hong Cheng's games, so they don't understand, in their opinion, the high school league must be average, and now they suddenly see this kind of dunk, how can they not be surprised?
It took a while for everyone to come to their senses, and a young man exclaimed, "I'm not mistaken. ā
"This guy ......," the other young man cried out, "It's really perverted, and the strength is too great, if you do it a few more times, the basket will be torn off." ā
"yes." The others nodded their heads as well.
Seeing this dunk, they realized that they were indeed too empty-eyed before, and they didn't know that there were people outside the sky.
Such a dunk, looking at the entire East China Economic Company, no one can do it, it's not that they can't dunk, but they can't be so domineering.
......
Jumping off the basket, the depression in Nongguang's heart was also swept away, and he slapped Li Changgeng with his palm, and then quickly returned to defense.
Donglin attacked, the ball went inside, and Marseille hit a hook shot.
Immediately after that, Hong Cheng quickly changed the color of his clothes, and the ball passed several times among several people, but he didn't find any good opportunities, and finally fell into the hands of Sima Shenji, facing the honest brother of the Donglin team, he made a feint to break through, and then stepped back and hit a jumper......
After the initial probing, both Hongcheng and Donglin entered the state.
Hong Cheng is good at attacking, focusing on outside line projection, except for Nongguang, everyone can shoot, and they all have a certain ability to play singles. Especially Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, the two of them can suddenly throw, and their personal abilities are outstanding, and few people can prevent the two.
The Donglin team is the opposite of Hongcheng, they are good at defense, and everyone in the team is a defensive master. On the field, the five people of the Donglin team are like five small shields, and they form a big shield together.
Both teams have their own characteristics, one is like a spear and the other is like a shield.
And their game is like a collision between the most powerful spear and the hardest shield, and every blow is a spark that is shocking.
"Toot ......"
The whistle blew, the first quarter of the game ended, the two sides fought to a 24-draw, a spear and shield fight, but no one could help anyone.
Everyone walked off the court, and the nerves that had been tense for a while finally had a chance to soothe, and they all breathed out and discussed in whispers.
"It's a draw, this Hongcheng is really powerful."
"Yes, I feel that our Donglin team has done a good job of defending. You know, many of those opponents in the past scored less than 20 points in the first quarter. This Hongcheng actually scored 24 points, and it was not easy for us to take advantage of it. ā
"This is a cross-elimination tournament, and no one is a weak player in the team that can reach this stage!"
"It's also ......"
The audience was whispering, and on the side of the court, Sun Yang, the coach of the Donglin team, also called the players around, summarized the gains and losses, and arranged tactics.
He spread out the tactical board, drew a few times on it, and then pointed to two of the points and said: "The key is Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, especially this Li Changgeng." In the first quarter, almost all of Hong Cheng's attacks were launched from his point, which shows that he is the actual organizer of Hong Cheng. ā
The players of the Donglin team listened and nodded their heads.
After a quarter of the game, they also saw that the finisher of each attack of Hongcheng may be different, but the starting point is the same, that is, Li Changgeng.
Through the game, they have seen that Li Changgeng's organizational ability is still above Hongcheng's genuine point guard Sima Shenji. Moreover, his personal ability is extremely strong, he can play alone by himself, and he can also wait for opportunities to assist, which has caused a lot of trouble for the Donglin team.
"This Li Changgeng." Sun Yang looked at Xu Anya and said, "You must guard against him, and if necessary, you can use the trap tactic." He knew that saying this would hurt Xu Anya very much, but this is a fact, Li Changgeng's strength is too strong, and it is difficult to limit it without wrapping it.
Facing the coach's gaze, Xu Anya frowned slightly, but quickly stretched out and nodded: "Although I don't want to admit it, this guy Li Changgeng is indeed very powerful, and it is difficult for me to prevent him alone." He turned his head to look at He Minxu and said sincerely: "Ah Jun, wait a while, you will see the situation, and if necessary, come over immediately to cover it." ā
"Okay." He Minxu nodded, "Don't think about it, won't he be able to prevent you?" ā
"Huh." Xu Anya smiled confidently.
Sun Yang said: "In addition, that Sima Shenji is also a trouble, although he doesn't have much time to hold the ball, but the offensive efficiency is very high, he scored 8 points alone in the first quarter, more than Li Changgeng's score." Brother honest, you have to stick tight, don't give him a chance. ā
"Yes." Brother Han Hou nodded, but his heart was a little bitter, "That guy's first step is too fast, if I pull away and run, I won't necessarily lose to him, but his first step, I really can't keep up." It is too difficult to prevent such a person from breaking through. ā
The first step is extremely fast, this is Sima Shenji's killer weapon, even Li Changgeng is difficult to prevent, let alone a simple brother who is more than 1.9 meters tall? So in the first quarter, although Sima Shenji rarely took the ball, he could score almost every time he took the ball, which made Brother Han Hou very helpless.
"Okay, take care of these two people, and the rest will be easy to handle. Remember, the key to our victory is defense, the offense wins the crowd, the defense wins the game, as long as the defense is done well, the game must be won by us. Sun Yang finally said to everyone.
The other side.
Hongcheng and a group of players also gathered around Tao Ran, Tao Ran had already observed the tactics of the Donglin team for a while, and already had a plan in his heart: "The Donglin team mainly relies on singles in attack, and their scoring guards and centers are the first and second scoring points, so pay attention to these two later." ā
"Also, we have to pay attention to the opponent's defense."
"I think you can also see that the opponent is a defensive team, everyone on the field is a defensive giant, the whole team is tacitly coordinated, the defense is rigorous, like a precision machine. It's kind of like the Spurs in the NBA, which is based on defense and wins by defense. ā
"I think they should believe in the credo of 'defending wins games.'" Speaking of this, Tao Ran's tone changed, "However, I don't think this is necessarily right, a strong defense is like a shield, which can make oneself inherently invincible." ā
"However, if the opponent's spear is sharp enough to pierce the shield, even if it is just a small hole, it will render the shield useless. As long as our offense is sharp enough, then no matter how good the opponent's defense is, it doesn't matter, understand? ā
The eyes of everyone in Hongcheng lit up, and they nodded one after another: "Understood!" ā
"Good." Tao Ran said again, "So, what we have to do is to attack and use our spears to penetrate the shield of the Donglin team." He looked at Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, "You two are the sharpest spears in our Hongcheng, I want you to attack more." ā
"Yes." Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji agreed loudly.
.........
The whistle blew and the second quarter began.
Hongcheng attacked, Sima Shenji advanced with the ball, and looked at Li Changgeng after half time, but saw that Li Changgeng was entangled by Xu Anya, and several other members of the Donglin team were also consciously cutting off Li Changgeng's receiving route. Nong Guang frowned slightly, but he did not delay and passed the ball to Sima Shenji.
"Since Li Changgeng is tightly guarded, let me come." Sima Shenji said secretly.
Seeing Sima Shenji taking the ball, Brother Han couldn't help but be nervous, and even stared at Sima Shenji, in order to prevent being overtaken by Sima Shenji's lightning-fast first step, he also withdrew a little later.
But this alone is enough to kill.
I saw Sima Shenji's footsteps missing, but he didn't break through, it was just a feint, and he didn't care if Brother Honest was fooled or not, he was just a dry pull.
With Sima Shenji's height, bounce, and the distance between the two is far enough, Brother Han Hou can't interfere at all, he didn't even have time to jump, he only had time to stretch out his hand and shake it.
"Huh!"
The hollow hit, and the referee raised three fingers to indicate that it was a three-pointer.
"Made." Brother Han Hou was extremely depressed, he was careful enough, but he was still scored by the other party, looking at Sima Shenji, he could only sigh helplessly, "It seems that I still underestimate this guy, not only is he sharp in his breakthrough, but he is also so accurate in shooting, how can I prevent him?" Do you want to wrap the clip? "As soon as this idea was raised, Brother Han Hou threw it away, Li Changgeng wanted to wrap it, Sima Shenji also wanted to wrap it, there were only five people in the Donglin team, and they all went to wrap these two people, so wouldn't the rest of Hongcheng have no one to take care of?
As one of the sharpest spears in Hongcheng, Sima Shenji began to show his peerless edge......
In the second quarter, the Donglin team strengthened the restrictions on Li Changgeng, not only Xu Anya's defense of Li Changgeng was more oppressive, but others were also consciously cutting off Li Changgeng's receiving route, as long as the ball could not reach his hands, Hongcheng's offensive launch would become a problem.
There is nothing wrong with this tactic itself, but Sun Yang, the coach of the Donglin team, ignored one point, that is, Hong Cheng didn't care about any tactical cooperation, they played Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji in this section, although Li Changgeng was restricted, but there was also Sima Shenji.
