Chapter 8: The Philadelphia 46ers

"Ahh A loud roar of pain broke through the gymnasium and spread far away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoLike a wounded wolf, he howls in pain in the wilderness.

"Bump!" With a loud bang, he grabbed the ground with his head - Sakuragi Hanamichi trick, hit his head on the ground! It turns out that this is not the patent of Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Leaning on the floor, he let the painful sensation slowly spread throughout his body. A burst of soft footsteps came slowly, stopping beside Li Changgeng, and a figure stood quietly beside him.

Grabbing the basketball on the ground, two beautiful turns, the ball from outside the three-point line shot steadily, the basketball bounced on the basket and fell into the basket.

Yes!

Suddenly, Li Changgeng suddenly woke up, and Li Changgeng didn't seem to be bored anymore.

Turning around and looking at the door of the gymnasium again, it was empty.

Li Changgeng shrugged, feeling an inexplicable loss in his heart. Grabbing the basketball jumping on the ground, Li Changgeng began to think about the strategy of dealing with the Raptors.

In the afternoon, although Li Changgeng still wanders from time to time, it has improved significantly compared to the morning, at least he no longer makes jokes. Soon, the time for training came again.

Coach Mergello has not yet arrived, and the players have already started training on the sidelines.

On the training ground, Li Changgeng's mind still flashed the performance of the Raptors from time to time, but at this time, Li Changgeng was no longer depressed. It's always impossible to escape, so defeat them head-on!

If it is against the Raptors in the finals, then Los Angeles has at least a month, a month, and should be able to do a lot of things.

Leonard and Harris are seriously practicing the moves that Li Changgeng showed that day, and Beethoven is also tirelessly practicing the three-point outside the line, and has begun to truly integrate change and speed into his own skills.

The other substitutes are also doing this exercise in earnest.

Only Mozart and Paul are still boasting about their performance yesterday. Seeing the two of them blushing and having thick necks, Li Changgeng couldn't help but laugh, and the basketball in his hand shot straight between them, and Paul grabbed it with quick eyes.

"Don't brag, there's a game tomorrow, and we'll know who's better then. Let's go training! ”

"By the way, there's a game tomorrow. Boss, when the time comes, I'll let you see Li Changgeng's performance! Paul grabbed the ball and walked over to the field!

"Who's afraid of whom." Mozart grabbed the ball, chased Paul over, and suddenly stopped and turned around, "Why does Li Changgeng have to listen to your arrangement?" ”

Li Changgeng shrugged, and his right hand quietly pointed at the teaching assistant who was walking over at the door. Mozart's expression immediately changed, and he immediately cheered up and shouted: "I'm coming!" "Rush towards the pitch.

Li Changgeng was indignant.

"Li Changgeng, come here." Leonard over there is calling Li Changgeng. Leonard, who has always been wooden, took the initiative to call Li Changgeng? This is the first time in history. Li Changgeng was flattered, and ran over with a happy fart.

"How about practicing with me?" Leonard asked.

"Okay, how do you want to practice?"

"You defend, I'll try to break through."

"Okay!" Li Changgeng agreed very happily.

Leonard was ready to start with the ball, and Li Changgeng opened the defense and followed him closely.

Leonard ball in the right hand, the moment before the ground, put the right foot to the right a big step, the whole body with the ball to the right shake a little, and then quickly dribble to the left hand, the body is slightly bent, the feet are 45 degrees to the left at the same time, slightly back!

Li Chang Gung's moves?

He's really learning?

Li Changgeng was surprised and delighted in his heart, and he didn't stop at his feet, and followed him closely. It's just that these are not enough to break through Li Changgeng.

When the ball is in his left hand, his waist suddenly straightens, and his right hand also makes a shot with his left hand.

Can you shoot?

No, even if he shoots, Li Changgeng is absolutely sure to intercept the ball at the moment of his shot! Li Changgeng made an instant judgment in his heart. Follow him closely, without any interception.

Leonard bent over very quickly to return to the position he had previously dribbled. Then step down and dribble to the right hand, take a big step forward with your left foot in order to step down and dribble, lean forward as well, make a breakthrough appearance, step down with your left foot and dribble to your left hand, and pull the whole body back again"

It's a very good learner.,In terms of movement alone.,It's already very proficient.,It's just a lack of trickery! If he was an opponent on the court, Li Changgeng would have already broken off the basketball! Now Li Changgeng is patiently defending and following his movements with ease.

Leonard continued, Li Changgeng followed him closely, without the slightest carelessness, when Leonard advanced to the outside of the penalty area, Li Changgeng was already tightly attached to him, and Leonard's movements stopped abruptly.

All his lines were sealed by Li Changgeng.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work!" Leonard braced his knees, hunched over, gasping for air.

"It's already pretty good, practice a few more times and you'll be able to break through me in no time! Let's swap positions, I'll attack, you defend. ”

The ball in Leonard's hand was thrown to Li Changgeng and immediately rushed up.

As soon as the ball was in his hand, Li Changgeng took a big step forward with his right foot, which was exactly the same as what he had just done! Connected with a few quick feints, when his body's center of gravity was lost, Li Changgeng easily sent the ball into the basket.

"The moves are not the most important, but the changes in the virtual and the real are the most important. Look at your opponent's movements and make timely changes! Pretending to be panting, Leonard Li Changgeng said seriously.

Leonard pondered.

Over there, an indifferent Harris was looking this way, and a scorching light appeared in his usually cold eyes. Picking up the ball on the ground, Li Changgeng shot at him: "Let's try it together." ”

Harris caught the ball, nodded slightly, and rushed towards Li Changgeng.

……

The basketball went over Li Changgeng's fingers, grazed the rebound, and fell into the basket. Harris's indifferent face couldn't help but show a hint of excitement. His eyes staggered, and Li Changgeng seemed to feel that there was a trace of warmth in his indifference.

Looking at Leonard, Harris, and Beethoven who was practicing hard over there, Li Changgeng's fighting spirit suddenly rose.

Raptors, a month later, Li Chang Gung must you understand the power of Li Chang Gung in Los Angeles.

The next two games were uneventful, and the opponents were not very good. Under Coach Meigello's steady arrangement, the main substitutes of the Los Angeles team took turns. Both teams won most of their opponents! The most excited is the freshman who has just joined the team, and with the help of the seniors, he really shows a "master style". The battle between Paul and Mozart was not final. In both games, he was replaced by Coach Meigello in the middle of the game!

It's race day again! This time the opponent is another national key university in Los Angeles, the Philadelphia 46ers, who also have many sports masters!

Arrived at the venue early. The players in the locker room are excitedly discussing the upcoming game! The successive big wins have made the confidence of the Los Angeles players more than ever! Leaning on the wardrobe, Li Changgeng listened to their discussion with some amusement!

"Li Changgeng!" Coach Meigello's voice!

Turning his head, Coach Meigello beckoned to Li Changgeng at the door! Standing up, Li Changgeng walked over!

Outside in the aisle.

"In today's game, Li Changgeng is not ready to let you play." Coach Meigello said in a deep voice!

Li Changgeng was slightly stunned and nodded: "I know!" ”

"No, you don't understand what I mean." Coach Megello said in an aggravated tone, "I mean, even if the Los Angeles team is going to lose, I'm not going to let you play!" ”

"Why!" Li Changgeng was anxious and asked loudly!

"The opponent is just a strong team, and if you have to rely on you at this level of competition, this Los Angeles team will not qualify for the NCAA at all! Even if you join, you won't be able to do anything in the NCAA! Li Changgeng doesn't want you to realize this until you return! Coach Meigello put his hand on Li Changgeng's shoulder, "If you want to challenge the Raptors, you must have reliable teammates around you!" Otherwise, you might as well stop there! Don't be even more sad when you get it! ”

Li Changgeng was silent, although he didn't want to admit it, but the facts that Coach Meigello said! It took a long time for Li Changgeng to reply astringently: "Li, I listen to you!" ”

Coach Mergello nodded, patted Li Changgeng on the shoulder, and strode back to the locker room!

The door opened, and the teammates rushed into the gymnasium, and Li Changgeng followed behind, full of nervousness!

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!

Mozart took the lead and grabbed the ball, Leonard received Mozart's ball as soon as possible, and dribbled towards the position of the Great Wall! After connecting and breaking through the two opponents, he encountered the interception of the opponent's point guard, Leonard immediately chose to pass, and Harris, who followed up, inserted on the right, received Leonard's pass, calmly broke through the opponent, and steadily sent the ball into the basket!

Be the first to come out on top!

Great Wall University offense, the point guard No. 7 who holds the ball is a cold little man, his slightly childish face is not shocked, and he can't see the slightest emotional fluctuation! Li Changgeng, who was watching the game on the side of the court, couldn't help but wonder for a while, why the point guards Li Changgeng met had such a face! This is true of Leonard, so is Gu Tian, and even more so of other opponents encountered in the NCAA!

It seems that there has never been a truly passionate point guard!

Good guy, when Li Changgeng was thinking wildly, the figures staggered, and the originally slow No. 7 action suddenly accelerated, and in the flash of light, only a burst of figures were staggered, and they had already broken through Leonard and quickly rushed into the defensive circle of Los Angeles!

Boy!

Leonard turned sharply and followed closely! Los Angeles's inside, Mozart, Paul, and Harris have been strictly prepared to compete one-on-one with the center forward of the Great Wall, and Beethoven on the outside is tightly entangled with the opponent's scoring guard, and the opponent has no chance!

No. 7 continues to break through, Harris shakes off the opponent and comes to block, No. 7 passes, the Great Wall forward No. 6 catches the ball, No. 6 jumps, Paul intercepts, the ball passes in the air, No. 5 catches the ball, No. 4 intersperses, Mozart moves his pace to participate in the defense, No. 5 suddenly plugs the ball to No. 4 The two are staggered with each other, and No. 5 blocks Mozart's path - move and change? Demolition?

Sure enough, Mozart was completely blocked by the opponent's body, and there was no way to block the opponent! Number Four easily puts the ball in the hoop!

The whole process is full of ups and downs!

Good tacit cooperation, good sharp attack! Li Changgeng was surprised by the galloping Great Wall players on the field! It's only been four years, is it possible that the high school basketball world is so smart now! Or the Great Wall is particularly strong! If it is the former, Li Changgeng's NCAA dream may not be as easy as Li Changgeng imagined!

Suddenly, Li Changgeng regretted very much that he had agreed to Coach Meigello's request not to play!

On the contrary, the players in Los Angeles did not panic in the slightest. After receiving the ball, Leonard advanced to the opponent's position at his usual speed, and when he encountered the blockage of the opponent's No. 7 player, he took a big step with his right foot!

That trick?

Sure enough, Leonard shook his whole body with the ball to the right, quickly dribbled to his left hand, bent his body, and stepped back 45 degrees with his right foot to make a breakthrough gesture. The other party's No. 7 reacted quickly and just followed!

Looking at Leonard again, when the ball reaches the left hand, the waist suddenly sounds, and the right hand matches the left hand and pretends to shoot. But Li Changgeng knew that his right hand did not touch the basketball at this time! When the opponent's No. 7 thought he was going to shoot, he hurriedly reacted, raised his hands high, and was ready to jump up and intercept! Leonard changed again, quickly bent down and returned to the previous dribbling posture, dribbled the ball under the crotch to the right hand, took a big step forward with his left foot, leaned forward to make a breakthrough, fainted under the crotch of the left foot and left hand, and then pulled the whole body back!

The opponent's No. 7 hurriedly adjusted the center of gravity of his body, and he was able to stabilize his body! Leonard continued, when he deceived him for the third time, the vacancy finally opened up, if it was Li Chang Geng, this would be the best time to shoot, in this range, Li Chang Geng's shooting was extremely accurate!

But isn't Leonard?

The basketball is thrown high and flies towards the hoop! Shooting? No, pass the ball, Mozart under the basket jumped high, received the ball in the air, and slammed it into the basket!

Pretty! Li Changgeng couldn't help but sigh in admiration, and slapped the thigh of the team member next to him heavily!

The game continued, and after Leonard's victory, the momentum in Los Angeles was high. Harris finally showed the value of an ace player in a close match, with a good offense and defense, and he is simply all-round! If it weren't for his lack of consciousness to pass, it would have been perfect!

However, the opponent did not show weakness and showed surprisingly toughness. Under the leadership of point guard No. 7, the Great Wall team showed excellent team chemistry, tightly biting the score, and gradually surpassed Los Angeles! The No. 4 center forward of the Great Wall gradually gained the upper hand in the battle with Mozart on the inside, and in a hurry, Mozart's old mistake was committed again, and in a short time, he had already committed two fouls! At the end of the first half, the score was 48:47, and Los Angeles temporarily led by one point, but Mozart had already committed three fouls! Things are getting worse!

Lounge!

Coach Meigello is giving tactical instructions for the second half! As the time to play was approaching, Coach Meigello announced: "The players for the second half are: center, Mozart, power forward Paul, small forward, Harris, shooting guard, Beethoven, point guard, Leonard!" Wild Wind, you've already fouled three times, and if you foul again, you'll be out! ”

"Got it!" Mozart replied excitedly!

"Coach, won't Li Changgeng play?" Beethoven asked hesitantly!

"He's not going to play in this game!" Coach Mergello replied indifferently!

"Why?" Beethoven asked eagerly! Paul, Leonard, and Mozart's puzzled gazes also rolled on Li Changgeng, "Is he injured?" ”

"No, he's not hurt. It's up to you to win or lose this game. Even if he wants to lose the game, Li Changgeng will not let him play! Coach Meigello looked around at the players and said seriously, "I don't want you to forget that you are also the main player in Los Angeles because of Li Changgeng joining!" The Los Angeles team is not a team of Chang Gung alone, even if there is no Chang Gung Li joining, you still have to participate in the game."

There was silence in the lounge!

Beethoven hung his head suddenly, Mozart, Paul secretly clenched his fists, Leonard's expression still did not fluctuate in the slightest, but his fists couldn't help clenching! Only Harris is still so cold. But Li Changgeng still quietly discovered that Harris's cold eyes shot a terrifying chill! The other team members are also fighting in silence!

"Get on the field!" Coach Megello waved his hand violently and ordered!

"Yes!" The team members roared and responded in unison!

The doors of the lounge opened, and the players poured into the gymnasium! Li Changgeng silently followed behind, looking at the backs of the high-spirited players, and couldn't help but feel a secret joy in his heart: This is the teammate that Li Changgeng hopes! Coach Meigello, you are very right!

"What do you think?" The assistant teacher asked behind Li Changgeng!

"Nothing!" Li Changgeng smiled slightly, "Los Angeles will definitely win!" After saying that, he strode into the gymnasium!

The game continued to start, and it was obvious that the coach of the Great Wall team had made major tactical instructions, and the players of the Great Wall team were more motivated, more agile in action, and more tacitly coordinated with each other. The most striking point guards are more agile, and they seem to have noticed Mozart's weakness, focusing the ball more on the inside of Los Angeles, and grasping the trend of the game through the direct dialogue between the two centers on the inside!

Great Wall performed well, but it was the Los Angeles team who controlled the game on the field! The players in Los Angeles seemed to have changed their skills, like tigers going down the mountain and dragons going out to sea. Harris, full of firepower, in all positions, shot with all his might, and won many times. Beethoven, who was so gentle that he was almost weak, also seemed to be aroused, and he frequently shot outside the three-point line, hitting repeatedly. Paul mastered the shots from almost all directions, and really showed the strength of the rebounding king, and Mozart was temporarily at a disadvantage in the conversation with the opposing center, but there were no more fouls.

In the battle between the two point guards, Leonard was not angry, tightly entangled the opponent's No. 7 player, as long as the opponent, he firmly stuck to it and bit it tightly. Although the opponent is very agile, Leonard is not lagging behind. On the contrary, when Los Angeles attacked, Leonard's agile ball control and accurate passing were vividly played. Even Li Changgeng, who was sitting on the sidelines watching, asked himself if he could do more than that!

Leonard is indeed a rare and excellent defender! The joy in Li Changgeng's heart kept escalating!

As the game drew to a close, the Los Angeles team had completely mastered the format of the game, and the score was 86:68, and the Los Angeles team led by 18 points, with a little more than five minutes left on the clock, and the Great Wall team called a timeout again!

"Very good, you guys are doing well!" Coach Mergello clapped his hands, trying not to hide his satisfaction, "The overall situation of this game has been decided!" Remember your performance today, remember your momentum today, Los Angeles without Li Changgeng is still the strongest! In the following game, Paul and Yefeng are resting, and Lee Chang Gung and Johnson are on the field! ”

"Me?" Cheng Kunyong pointed at himself and asked stupidly! Coach Mergello nodded in the affirmative! Cheng Kunyong hurriedly took off his coat and prepared to play!

"Coach, didn't you say that Li Changgeng won't play! And why replace Li Changgeng! Paul asked eagerly.

"Fool, watching you grab so many balls, you're not tired, I still feel distressed when I look at it!" Coach Mergello patted Paul on the shoulder, "I don't want my main center and rebounding king to run out of energy in one game and not be able to play in the next game!" ”

Paul's face "Brush!" All of a sudden, he turned red and scratched the back of his head shyly! Since entering the basketball team, it was the first time for Li Changgeng to see Paul's expression, and he couldn't help but be stunned! The grinning Mozart also smiled stupidly: the assistant coach was handing over a towel, I really don't know if he heard Coach Meigello's words!

Coach Megello turned his head and said solemnly: "As long as you are not blind, you can see that Los Angeles has completely mastered the situation on the field in this game, and it is only a matter of time before you win!" Each of you has shown enough strength to shut up all long-tongued men and women! Therefore, I retract my previous decision not to let Li Changgeng play!

The Los Angeles team should be a team as a whole, and I want people to give a thumbs up when they hear that you are a member of the Los Angeles team.

Let's go on the field and deal the fatal blow to your opponent! Let the audience present see the strength of Los Angeles, Los Angeles! ”

"Yes!" The players on the field, including Li Changgeng, replied abruptly!

.........

The Los Angeles team was even more imposing again, and the situation of the game was completely under control, and when the referee blew the final whistle, the score was 1:78!

Los Angeles wins! All the team members cheered!

And Li Changgeng is very happy! And not just because of the victory of the game! Looking at the smiling teammates, Li Changgeng began to really coach Meigello's intentions!

Ginger is still old and spicy, and this phrase is the same for Americans.
