Chapter 29: Intra-Team Rivalry (1)
In the evening, after washing, Yang Long lay on his single bed again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I turned on the computer, and QQ came out with a cough-cough sound. Wu Shuang sent a lot of messages to Yang Long. She told me about her daily life at Sichuan University and asked Yang Long how his school team trip was today.
Yang Long was very happy that after the tiring training in the afternoon, there was someone to make him feel emotional, and a warm current rose in his heart, and he told Wu Shuang about the appearance of the basketball hall today.
On the afternoon of the next day, according to the time stipulated by Coach K, Yang Long came to the training ground half an hour early.
But Yang Long was still late, and when he came to the court, Yang Long found that everyone had arrived early and was warming up by himself.
Excellent basketball players are inseparable from their own hard training.
Yang Long walked to the field and greeted his teammates who remembered their names and those who couldn't. (You really can't blame Yang Long, because he can't write down the names of so many people just through one training session.) )
"Alright, guys, come here." Coach K looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist and gathered the players in front of him with a big wave of his hand.
"Today we will have our first training match of the new season. I think everybody knows it's not just an in-house training game. Because we've got a couple of new players this year. So I'm going to plan our lineup for this game and I hope you all do well. Okay, now everyone is divided into two teams, blue and white, free combination. ”
Because he is not familiar with everyone, coupled with the difference in cultural background, after the old Coach K's speech, Yang Long didn't know for a while, which side he wanted to choose?
"Hey, Yang, come here, we're a team, I said I'm going to cover you!" Williams shouted at Yang Long, who was hesitating left and right, to solve his embarrassment.
After scheduling, the blue and white teams were successfully formed, because Duke's jersey was one blue and white jersey for each person, so the grouping was also simple.
BLU
Point guard: Yang Long, 194 cm tall; Quartile: Jay Williams, 188 cm tall; Small forward: Mike Dunleavy, 201 cm tall; Power forward: Mark Christens, 208 cm tall; Center: Casey Saunders, 210 cm tall.
White team
Point guard: Chris Duhon, 185 cm tall; Quartile: Andy Bouman, 193 cm tall; Small forward: Dundee Jones, 198 cm tall; Power forward: Nick Howorth, 208 cm tall; Center forward: Carlos Boozer, 208 cm tall;
Yang Long is still a little surprised, because there are other point guards on the team, and he occupies a starting position, maybe it is really as Jay Williams said, he is the person he covers, and it seems that sometimes there are some benefits to being a little brother.
The race is on.
Boozer and Sanders jumped first, Boozer has not been a player known for his physical fitness, and after Sanders flicked the ball back, Yang Long stuck Dujon and won the ball for the first attack.
Holding the ball and advancing to the front court, Yang Long was a little excited in his heart, although this was only an internal confrontation game, but this was his first game as a Duke player!
"Casey, high pick-and-roll! Jay, hurry up and run! "Coach K shouted from the sidelines, laying out tactics.
After Casey and Yang Long blocked and dismantled, the white team adopted a defensive strategy of substitution defense, and it was Boozer who defended Yang Long at this time, and Yang Long formed a small and big misplaced defense with him. Yang Long's mind appeared in turn the sharp breakthrough scenes of Iverson, Wade and others, and the itching in his heart was unbearable.
In the end, he suppressed his urge to attack with the ball, because this was a 5v5 duel, and on the field, he had to carry out the arrangement of the old coach K.
"Give me the ball!" Williams took advantage of Dunleavy's baseline cover and came out from the left baseline to a 45-degree angle to the three-point line.
Yang Long flicked his wrist, and the ball was handed to Williams. Andy, who was getting rid of Williams at this time, was still about 1.5 meters away from him, and it can be said that Williams got full shooting space. Williams didn't hesitate, he pulled it up and shot, huh! The ball goes to the basket! Yang Long picked up an assist.
"Good shot!" During the retreat, Williams gave Yang Long a thumbs up.
Yang Long grinned, this is the rhythm of the game!
Next, Du Hong of the white team advanced with the ball, he did not ask for the center's blocking, and chose to break through with the ball himself.
Du Hong is 185 cm tall, nearly 10 cm shorter than Yang Long, and if he wants to survive on the basketball court with a height of 185 cm, Du Hong undoubtedly has excellent breakthrough speed. I saw a large shake of Du Hong's right hand and then did not change hands, choosing to break through directly from Yang Long's right side, Yang Long hurriedly followed, but he had already been pulled away by half of his body!
But Yang Long will definitely not let him go, because he still has a chance to block him, when chasing behind Du Hong, Yang Long saw that his center Casey had blocked his forward route, and under the front and back attacks, Du Hong had no way out!
However, just when Yang Long thought that Du Hong would suffer the fate of a mistake or a block under the double ghost of me and Casey, he saw Du Hong's right wrist shake and throw the ball vigorously to Yang Long's left side.
The ball flew in front of Yang Long's eyes, and then came to the bottom line Boozer's hands, Casey came over to help Yang Long help defend Du Hong, Boozer has completely let go, no one defends!
Boozer raised his arms straight, the ball was out of his palm, and without interference, the ball hit steadily!
The score came to 3:2.
"Boy, we've swapped defenders, you should go over and interfere with Boozer, you know?"
When serving, Casey was still chattering, and he had a lot of opinions about Yang Long's defensive strategy just now.
"Got it, Casey!"
Yang Long got the ball from Kessie and remembered the mistakes made in this defense. Sure enough, 5V5 is different from heads-up, and you shouldn't only have your own opposing player in your eyes.
