Chapter 18: Ten Goals to Determine the Winner
As the manager of the Zijin Middle School basketball team, Xia Lan brought the data modeling technology she learned in the United States back to China and used it to analyze the strength of the players. www.biquge.info Since data modeling requires a large amount of data to be analyzed, the more data a player can provide, the more accurate and valuable the analysis results will be. At the same time, due to the influence of the player's mood and state, the player's real-time ability value will change. Xia Lan's data model divides players into A, B, C, D four levels, in the Zijin basketball team, the basic strength of Kuroki and Liaoyuan is A, and Ye Hai is B, but with the decline of physical strength in the game with Shuren National High School, the strength of Kuroki and Liaoyuan has also dropped to B, and Ye Hai's strength has also risen to A due to the stimulation of emotions, so the results of data modeling and analysis can play a role in measuring the strength range of a player, but it cannot accurately get the real strength of a player. For example, adding a player's potential to the analysis results. However, there is no doubt that this system is more scientific and valuable than the subjective opinion of individuals.
The second internal competition between the old and the new is about to begin, Ding Guoshun, who is dressed in training clothes, holds a whistle and acts as the referee of the game, while Xia Lan puts two fixed cameras in place, holds a laptop, and always pays attention to everything on the field.
Taking into account the importance of training and the upcoming qualifiers, this match takes 10 goals advanced by one side as the standard for judging the outcome of the game, 1 goal is counted as a normal shot, 1 goal is counted as a foul re-serve, 1 goal is also counted as a penalty and 2 goals are scored for three points, so that the process of the game is much faster, and the players will not consume too much physical strength in the face of the upcoming training camp on the second day. But then every ball counts.
Liaoyuan played as a starter, forming a black team with the old players led by Kuroki, and playing against the white team composed of new players led by Ye Hai. The lineup of the white team is: point guard: Sun Bin, height 1.82 meters, scoring guard: Yang Shuai, height 1.85 meters, small forward: Ye Hai, height 1.90 meters, power forward: Jiang Dong, height 1.91 meters, center: Shang Jin, height 1.90 meters. The white team is the same as the starting lineup of the first match.
The black team's team has changed: point guard: Wan Ming, 1.75 meters tall, scoring guard: Liaoyuan, 1.88 meters tall, small forward: Zhang Yang, 1.86 meters tall, big forward: Ding Wei, 1.90 meters tall, center: Kuroki, 2.04 meters tall.
Xia Lan looked at the notebook in his hand, and the data from the modeling analysis showed the strength valuation of each player, and the valuation of the white team players was as follows: Sun Bin: B, Yang Shuai: B, Ye Hai: B, Jiang Dong: B, Shang Jin: C; The valuation of the black team players is: Wan Ming: C, Liaoyuan: A, Zhang Yang: B, Ding Wei: B, and Kuroki: A.
The game still took the form of two halves, and with Lao Ding's whistle, the game officially began.
Shang Jin was helpless in the face of Kuroki's height advantage and was helpless in the fight for the jump ball, and watched Kuroki dial the ball to Liaoyuan. However, before Liaoyuan received the ball from Kuroki, Sun Bin had already appeared in front of Liaoyuan and steal the ball.
"Ye Hai!" With Sun Bin's shout, the ball had been thrown to the front court, Ye Hai shook off the unprepared Zhang Yang, rushed to the front court to receive Sun Bin's pass, and scored the first goal with an easy one-handed violent dunk. This time it was the freshmen team who scored 1 goal, 1-0. What's more, this scene once appeared in the Zijin game against the Tree Man, and Sun Bin stole the tactics of the Tree Man team Ji Qingchuan this time, sneaking and stealing one first to help the team score first.
"A good start is half the battle!" Sun Bin smiled and high-fived Ye Hai, who returned to his own half.
"Come on!" Ye Hai commanded everyone to stand and said loudly, "Let them see the true strength of our freshman team!" β
"Roaring --!" The players of the white team shouted loudly under Ye Hai's encouragement, expressing confidence and passion. Since losing by 30 points in the first match-up, the players of the new team have been holding their breath and want to avenge the last fiasco. After all, basketball is a team sport, after a period of running-in, the players are familiar with each other's playing habits and characteristics, and the strength is not the same as the first team game, and after the game with the tree man, Ye Hai has become the ace of the leading team, so the mentality of the players of the new team towards this game has completely changed, and their goal is highly consistent, that is: to defeat the team led by Kuroki and Liaoyuan.
"These guys are very motivated." Liaoyuan looked at the excited expressions of the freshmen and said to Kuroki.
"Then let them see what we're capable of." Kuroki said coldly.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, Kuroki dunked with both hands under the basket and returned the white team with 1 ball, 1-1.
"You're playing against a team that finished third in the city last year, so don't be naΓ―ve." Kuroki responded to the freshman team on the court.
Liaoyuan looked at Kuroki in some surprise, and thought to himself, "It turns out that Kuroki cares so much about the outcome of this game. Then he smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Seeing the team's progress, he is already excited." β
"Ahh In Zhang Yang's surprise, Ye Hai had already broken through his defense, and before Ding Wei had time to make up for the defense, he hit a layup to exceed the score, 2-1.
"So fast, compared with the first fight, whether it is absolute speed or flexibility, Ye Hai has improved a lot." Zhang Yang, who was defending Ye Hai, thought to himself, "How did he grow up so quickly in such a short period of time?" β
"Hey, hey." Looking at Zhang Yang's somewhat surprised expression, Ye Hai thought to himself, "Although many techniques of street basketball cannot be applied in actual combat, its dribbling methods and training methods have made my ball sense and body coordination better, and I have gone to the next level!" β
In the next round, it was the turn of the black team to attack, Liaoyuan seemed to be a little careless under Yang Shuai's defense, but Liaoyuan's sudden change of direction made the scene of the game change instantly, and before Yang Shuai had time to react, Liaoyuan had already rushed to the basket, and did not choose to pass in the face of Shang Jin and Jiang Dong's double interception.
Liaoyuan held the ball in the gap between the two bodies in the air, and made a one-handed backhand layup, Jiang Dong blocked it with all his might, hitting Liaoyuan's arm, but still couldn't stop Liaoyuan from throwing the ball, and the ball tossed a few times on the basket and entered the basket. Beautiful 2+1, even Ding Guoshun couldn't help but nod at the ball. It's the perfect combination of body and technology. With Liaoyuan hitting the ball, the black team overtook the score to 2-3.
Jiang Dong looked at Liaoyuan, who ran back to his half, and thought: "I obviously went to the foul to re-serve that ball, but I didn't expect Liaoyuan to throw the ball and score it in this situation, such a terrible player." β
In the next round, the white team entered the half-court position under the organization of Sun Bin to attack, due to the strong deterrent power of Kuroki under the basket, the white team did not have a good way to attack the basket, with a wave of Sun Bin's hand, Shang Jin of the inner line ran to the outside line for Sun Bin to make a block, Sun Bin flashed Wan Ming's defense and cut into the inner line, and passed the ball back to Shang Jin after the black wood changed defenses, so that the defense of Shang Jin was 1.75 meters of Wan Ming, Shang Jin shot against Wan Ming near the three-second zone on the line, and scored 1 point for the white team, and the score was 3-3.
"Well done." After Shang Jin scored, Sun Bin, who assisted Shang Jin, stepped forward and high-fived.
"Sun Bin should be the best player in this class of newcomers except for Ye Hai, with a clear mind and a good view of the overall situation, if he develops well, he should be able to become the main point guard in the team's official games." After watching Sun Bin's performance in this ball, Xia Lan thought to herself.
The black team's offense is not in a hurry, when Kuroki receives the ball and is ready to attack the basket again, the white team seems to have made targeted arrangements for this situation, Jiang Dong and Shang Jin's double bag, making Kuroki fall into the encirclement of the two, but Kuroki is worthy of being the captain of the team, there is no panic in the face of the bag, and at the moment when Jiang Dong comes to the bag, he makes a guard-like back-to-back pass, and the ball directly bypasses the defense of the two, and passes from Shang Jin's back to Ding Wei, who is already vacant.
"I won't let you get away with it!" Ye Hai quickly switched to defend Ding Wei, who was holding the ball under the basket. Facing Ye Hai's oppressive eyes and raised arm span, Ding Wei felt a little worried in his heart, this situation was only Kuroki in the team who had ever given him the same feeling. Ding Wei did not choose the way to score under the basket, passed the ball to Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang hit a zero-degree angle jumper, and the black team rewrote the score to 4-3.
"This ball is well guarded, it doesn't matter! We continue to fight like this. Ye Hai encouraged the players of the white team.
"Yes, it's a very good defense, and the freshmen team wouldn't have defended like that when they first played. However, the fact that the black team can score is due to the run-in and training of the past year, and their combination is more mature. Xia Lan commented on this ball in her heart.
"Three-pointers!" In the face of flamboyant defense, Ye Hai simply and rudely chose to shoot directly outside the three-point line, and with the sound of a crisp basketball brushing the net, the ball hollowed into the net. "This ball counts as two!" Ye Hai said excitedly. 5-4, Ye Hai is aggressive.
"Ye Hai feels pretty good today." Liaoyuan muttered to himself, a smile on his lips.
"Kurogi!" Liaoyuan passed the ball high above the head of Yang Shuai, who was defending him, to Kurogi, and Yang Shuai, guided by Liaoyuan's voice, turned his head to look at Kurogi, ignoring the Liaoyuan he was defending. After Liaoyuan shifted Yang Shuai's attention to Kuroki, he quickly got rid of Yang Shuai and rushed to the inside, Kuromu made a hand-to-hand pass directly with Liaoyuan after receiving the ball, and then blocked Shang Jin behind him, creating an open field for Liaoyuan to shoot, Liaoyuan of course would not let go of such a good opportunity, and the basket hit an easy basket, 5-5 tied again.
In just a few rounds, both sides have scored five points each, and neither has missed a shot, so it's a head-to-head match. After a red-hot opening score, both sides increased their defensive intensity, and similarly, the shooting percentage began to decline, but the white team drew 9-9 with the black team under Ye Hai's crazy score and held the ball.
When the white team was preparing to attack, Liaoyuan and Zhang Yang said: "I will change the defensive players with you, and I will defend Ye Hai." The freshman team did not hesitate in Ye Hai's hot state, even if Liaoyuan was defending Ye Hai, Sun Bin also planned to pass the ball to Ye Hai to execute the last ball, and Liaoyuan was very experienced in standing on the passing route of Sun Bin and Ye Hai, trying to cut off the connection between the two.
Sun Bin patiently organized the attack, and Ye Hai, who was suddenly standing on the bottom line, glanced at Sun Bin, and Sun Bin immediately understood, this is their usual cooperation: Ye Hai suddenly started to slip the bottom line, and Sun Bin passed the ball to the route that Ye Hai started. In this way, you can bypass the route blocked by the defender, and you can also allow Ye Hai in the offense to use the inertia of the initiation to score a direct layup or dunk, this tactic has been coordinated hundreds of times between the two.
Just when Sun Bin passed the ball out and Ye Hai was about to receive the ball, a hand suddenly appeared on Sun Bin's passing route and stole the ball with one hand, which was a prairie fire! Liaoyuan actually moved to the passing route of Ye Hai and Sun Bin.
"How is that possible!" Not only Ye Hai and Sun Bin on the court, but even Xia Lan, who was watching the game on the side, was also surprised, only Lao Ding nodded slightly.
From Ye Hai's point of view, Liaoyuan was defending with his back to himself, and his sudden start had no warning at all, and Liaoyuan couldn't reflect when he started moving.
From Sun Bin's point of view, even if Liaoyuan saw Sun Bin's pass, it was completely impossible for him to have this speed to quickly appear on the passing route that Sun Bin and Ye Hai had already cooperated.
Ye Hai and Sun Bin were still in the process of being surprised, and Liaoyuan had quickly switched from defending to attacking with the ball. After Ye Hai reacted, he was already behind Liaoyuan, and he could no longer catch up with Liaoyuan, which was started in advance. And when Ye Hai ran past Sun Bin's side, Sun Bin hadn't reacted from the shock just now.
In the backcourt of the white team, Yang Shuai and Jiang Dong have returned to defense, Liaoyuan still did not slow down in the face of a one-on-two situation, after using a breakthrough and turning action to pass Yang Shuai cleanly, in the face of Jiang Dong jumped high and made a shooting action, Jiang Dong immediately jumped up to block.
Although Jiang Dong didn't cover Liaoyuan's shot, he still struggled to reach in front of the basketball and blocked Liaoyuan's shooting route, "You can't shoot this ball!" "Jiang Dong has made the best choice. However, to Jiang Dong's surprise, the Liaoyuan that jumped first did not have any tendency to fall in the air, but he had already begun to fall from the sky.
Liaoyuan seemed to be stuck in the air, and after Jiang Dong's hand fell, Liaoyuan threw the ball steadily, and the ball obediently flew into the basket, 10-9! Lao Ding blew the whistle at the end of the game, and the black team led by Kuroki and Liaoyuan defeated the white team led by Ye Hai again.
"Hoo --!" Liaoyuan waited for the ball to score before he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: "These boys are really not simple, and they finally won the game." β
Kuroki looked at Ye Hai, Sun Bin and others, who regretted losing, and thought: "This year's qualifiers will not be as simple as third place. β
Sun Bin sat on the ground depressed because of the passing error of the last ball, which directly caused the team to lose, but looking at Kuroki, Liaoyuan and others who tried their best, compared to the last time they won easily, he also got a little comfort in his heart.
"Xia Lan, where's the video!" When everyone was still immersed in the game just now, Ye Hai broke the silence and walked to the dormitory where the video could be played with an unconvinced expression.
