Chapter 20: Defeating Sean Battier (2)

Second ball

Battier completely changed his defensive strategy this time, he pressed straight forward, using gummies-style close defense, trying to press Yang Long's space to hold the ball. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoYang Long grabbed the basketball tightly with both hands, in case the ball was cut off by Battier without paying attention.

Because Battier was too close, Yang Long didn't dare to play the ball easily, but just used his arm to push the distance from him slightly, and then started to play the ball with his right hand first. When Battier saw Yang Long start to dribble, he immediately stuck to his waist, his right forearm stuck Yang Long's waist, and his left hand tried to cut off the ball in Yang Long's hand.

Battier's close defense gave Yang Long a certain sense of pressure, but this was definitely a very risky way to defend, such a close defensive distance, as long as he was a little careless, he would be left behind by Yang Long.

This defense is built on Battier's strong self-confidence, and he is confident that Yang Long will not be able to break through his pressing, after all, he is already a quasi-NBA player who has already proven himself strongly in the NCAA arena, and Yang Long is just a nobody out of nowhere. Although Yang Long scored the first goal, Battier believes that it was only because of his negligence.

Yang Long hit the ball once with his right hand, and then his left arm slammed into force, and the years of training gave him a strong arm. Under this roof, Battier was caught off guard, feeling a strain in his chest, and could only retreat slightly.

Here's your chance! When Battier retreated slightly, Yang Long's right hand made a fierce effort, taking a big step towards Battier's left side, and a single arrow step threw Battier behind him. At this time, Battier realized that he had lost his position, and hurriedly half-turned and slid sideways, trying to block Yang Long's breakthrough route.

But how could Yang Long, who had taken the lead, give Battier this defensive opportunity, another shot, one step more than 1.5 meters away, and then collect the ball with both hands, step on, two steps, fly to the basket, after 1 second of sliding, Yang Long's fingers have come to the same height as the rebound, only 40 cm away from the basket, the fingers are lifted up, and the basketball is pulled out by Yang Long.

At this time, Battier, who turned back to chase the defense, had also jumped up, but it was too late, the moment he jumped, the basketball picked out by Yang Long had already made contact with the rebound, and after the rebound, it was smashed into the basket!

At this time, Battier looked a little annoyed, he picked up the basketball and fell heavily on the ground. It's definitely a disgrace to be scored twice by a yellow-skinned nobody.

"What are you doing? Sean, give him some color! ”

was scored by Yang Long, Battier finally realized that Yang Long had the possibility of defeating him, and when he heard the ridicule of his partners, Battier glared back with a heavy face, so that his partners stopped squeaking. His eyes finally lit up with fighting spirit, and it was a desire for victory.

2:0。

Third goal

In Yang Long's opinion, Battier finally made the right defense, and he held a defensive distance of about 70 centimeters from himself. Keeping this distance can ensure that Yang Long is within his range of blocking, and at the same time, it can also block Yang Long's accelerated breakthrough.

Yang Long held the ball at the top of the arc and then pushed to the left of the three-point line, and they came to a 45-degree place on the left.

Yang Long tried to accelerate the breakthrough, but Battier used his height and reach advantage to defuse his attacks again and again, and by this time, the ball had reached the top of the penalty area. After several unsuccessful breakthroughs, Yang Long half-turned and leaned on Battier, which was a back-to-back position. Hold the ball in your right hand and spread your left forearm slightly to prevent Battier from slicing the ball with his arm. Then leaned in again and again.

Although Yang Long has paid attention to exercising his strength on weekdays, but at this time he is only 80 kilograms, but Battier has a weight of nearly 100 kilograms.

Battier struggled to push Yang Long outside the box, and Yang Long had to change his offensive strategy, otherwise he would be pushed off the basket sooner or later.

The right hand dribbled again, and then turned back left, Yang Long tried to kill from the left side of Battier to the penalty area, such a position, how could Battier not react, he immediately followed.

It is also impossible for Yang Long to attack the basket.

At this time, Yang Long changed his offensive line, using his left foot as the pivot foot, and then made a 270-degree turn with his right foot, and his legs jumped with force. Battier also jumped to his feet, stretched out his right hand, and tried to seal it.

But he made such a defensive move, Yang Long had expected it. Yang Long leaned back and completed a backward jump!

The ball was shot in a straighter arc and was not blocked by Battier. Yang Long and Battier landed almost at the same time, and then both looked at the basketball gliding in the air.

It was a dressed-up shot aimed at the rebound, where the ball first touched the white line above the basket and then bounced off the basket.

Did the ball go in?

The basketball bounced off and then bounced into the hoop accurately, but the ball was a little stronger, and the ball smashed into the inside edge of the basket, and then bounced out and fell.

Battier breathed a sigh of relief, his defense this time can't be said to be bad, but you must know that on the basketball court, it is not said that good defense will definitely prevent the opponent from scoring. Yang Long led by two goals, if this goal was scored, he would have won a complete victory over Battier, and it was undoubtedly a shame for him to lose to Yang Long at this time, so seeing that Yang Long failed to score this goal, Battier's hanging heart finally calmed down a little.

Next, the ball was exchanged, and Battier was on the attacking side.

Battier is known in the NBA for his superb defensive skills, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to attack. After serving at the top of the arc, he did a crotch dribble.

Yang Long was unmoved, maintaining a defensive position, perhaps in the 5V5 basketball court, there will be teammates to make up for the defense after a gambling steal defense failure, but in a one-on-one bullfight, a failed gambling steal means that the opponent has scored steadily.

After Battier dribbled the ball under his crotch several times, he saw that Yang Long did not mean to come forward to press, so he adjusted his offensive method. He first dribbled with his left and right hands, and when the ball came to his left hand, he moved, and his left hand slammed forward, trying to hit the basket from Yang Long's right side.

His acceleration speed this time was not very fast, because Battier is not a player known for his physical strength, and his only advantage over Yang Long this breakthrough is his height and length. Yang Long slid to the right to catch up with Battier, holding his waist with his left hand and raising his right hand to prevent him from making a move.

Battier was already fully up and running, and he still got up and made a layup against Yang Long's defense. Yang Long also jumped at the same time, trying to block his blow.

Yang's block still failed because they were on the right side of the basket, so Battier used a left-handed layup, and the ball hit the board and went into the basket.

It wasn't an easy goal for him because he never got away from my defense, but as I said before, a successful defense on the basketball court doesn't necessarily stop the opponent from scoring. In fact, the reverse is also true, and a failed defense does not mean that the opponent will definitely score.

2:1。

Fourth goal

Battier also realized that against Yang Long, he didn't have any speed advantage. This time, he started to roll over and be beaten directly after getting the ball, and he had to make full use of his height and weight advantage.

The 20-kilogram weight gap puts a huge amount of defensive pressure on Yang Long. Yang Long tried to push Battier outward, but Battier still got closer to the basket. One time, two times...... Battier pushed inside about six times, and the NBA has a rule that he can't hit his back for more than five seconds, and it seems that he wants to comply with that, and when he was about to push into the box, Battier turned right and completed a hook.

Yang Long always paid attention to the movement of the ball, and when Battier made a shot, he jumped up vigorously and waved his right hand towards the basketball.

Z~ Yang Long could feel the slight friction between his fingertips and the basketball, but the ball still flew towards the basket.

Perhaps slightly disturbed by the fingertips, the ball arced a little wider, smashed into the back edge of the hoop and bounced back, and did not go in. Battier looked a little frustrated, and in his opinion the opportunity was very reasonable, he just couldn't get the ball off the ground.

Next, Yang Long won the ball again.

Yang Long held the ball at the top of the arc and dribbled with his crotch changing hands, while Battier was already fully in the state at this time, staring at the ball in Yang Long's hand.

After a few crotch dribbles, Battier was unmoved, and when the ball came to Yang Long's left hand, he pulled the basketball back to complete a reverse dribble, and then pushed his right hand to the right front. Battier is a player who is known for his defense, and this push failed to get rid of his follow-up. But Yang Long himself did not expect to be able to break through Battier's defense so easily.

After Yang Long's arrow step was blocked in the offensive route, he pulled back with his right hand, and at the same time stepped back, directly pulled up and shot, and Battier jumped at the same time. However, at the time of the jump, Battier was still in front of Yang Long's breakthrough line, and with this being a step-back, the shooting space between them had been completely opened.

Yang Long stretched out his arm and sent the basketball out steadily.

Swish! Hollow into the net.

3:1!
