Chapter 2 Bullfighting (1)
The result did not disappoint, just like Yang Long's previous prediction, Chen Ning notified him by text message that he had passed the first round of the test and successfully entered the second round of selection, for which Yang Long was also a little proud. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The second round of selection came to the outdoor basketball court, which is related to the method of the second round of selection. It can be said that whether Yang Long can join the school team and enter the coveted cuba arena This round of testing is very important for Yang Long.
"Congratulations on passing the first round of selection and advancing to the second round of selection. Being able to get here through the first round shows that you are all excellent. But it's not enough to be good. You know, there are only 15 spots on the school team, and now we only need four new players, so if you want to join the school team, you have to prove to me that you are one of the best four guys. I won't say much nonsense, the selection method for this round is very simple, and that is bullfighting. Chen Ning's speech made everyone feel a little enthusiastic, yes, it is not enough to be excellent, even if he is selected for the school team, there are only five players who can be present at the same time on the basketball court, and if you want to play, you also need to speak with strength. But now is not the time to think about this, you have to pass this round of assessment first.
"Do we divide into groups and fight bulls? But we are not in the same position on the field. Yang Long asked, indeed, if 4 people are decided through grouping and bullfighting, then it is a little unfair, you must know the difference in body in different positions, and the technical characteristics are different.
"No, your opponent is your senior. Whatever position you want to play, you can fight with the seniors in the same position. ”
"The seniors have been trained for at least a year, so our chances of winning are not very high." A classmate wearing a No. 23 jersey asked, No. 23, No. 24, No. 3, No. 1, which are the most common numbers on several courts.
"Winning or losing is not the only factor that determines whether you pass or lose, we will have someone to look at and if you have enough skill and potential, you can also make it to the final round of selection." As the captain, Chen Ning's words are convincing, which should be the temperament that a leader should have.
"What's the next round of selection?" Yang Long seems to have seen himself enter the next round of selection, so he is full of curiosity about the next selection.
"The final round will be a 5-on-5 round, and our ultimate goal is to select those who can really shine on the field. You have to know that the full-time game and the half-time game, bullfighting is a completely different thing. ”
It is true that there is a difference between a full-game and a half-game bullfight. The whole game is more physically demanding, and there are also considerable requirements for a player's overall view on the field.
According to Yang Long's height, he needs to face off against the team's original No. 1 position. Because there are very few people over 2 meters tall, the competition for point guards is the fiercest, and even if the college seniors leave, there are still three point guards on the school team.
Then Yang Long's goal now is to defeat them all!
Number 13
No. 13, that was Yang Long's first opponent, and he didn't even know his name. As a senior, No. 13 was very humble to let Yang Long attack first, and the ball possession of the first attack should be determined by the free throw line shot, and the winner served.
Yang Long holds the ball at the top of the three-point arc, bows down with both legs, and puts the ball on his right waist with his left and right hands, which is a standard DW3 (Devin Wade) ball protection action, and it is also the first action given to him by his basketball enlightenment teacher Liu Jiang.
"Senior, then you're welcome!"
"I won't keep my hand, don't worry." No. 13 bent his knees, lowered his center, and spread his hands out in front of Yang Long.
No. 13 is not much different from Yang Long's height, maybe a little taller, about 1.81 meters tall. Among the members of the varsity team, his stature belongs to the relatively thin kind, and such a person can stay on the varsity team because of his skills and excellent basketball IQ.
The bullfight officially begins, and whoever gets three points first (three points here refers to three goals) wins.
First goal.
Yang Long used his left foot as the pivot foot, and his right foot was left and right, but No. 13 was very experienced, and he didn't even move his footsteps, because he knew that this was just a habitual Xu Huang movement.
Yang Long gave up after several attempts to no avail, and this trick obviously did not work. In Yang Long's mind, he remembered the scene when he and his master Liu Jiang faced each other for the first time.
Then Yang Long suddenly moved. The right hand pushed the basketball out to the right front, dribbled a step, and the 13th's reaction was fast, and he immediately slid sideways, blocking Yang Long's path. Just like his master's countermeasures back then, Yang Long hooked back with his right hand and did a crotch dribble, and the ball came to his left hand.
No. 13 immediately came up, Yang Long's left hand was slightly raised, and his right hand was made to hold the ball and project.
Here's your chance! Under this feint of Yang Long, No. 13 jumped and tried to block!
Hit the plan, ha, at the moment when Yang Long saw the 13th jump, Yang Long retracted with his right hand, and pushed the ball forward to the left with his left hand, leaving the No. 13 stagnant in the air behind. In a one-on-one bullfight, as long as the defender is passed, there will be a horse behind him, Yang Long closed after two dribbles, and ended with a basic three-step layup to score the first goal.
"Oh, don't be abused by your junior!" There were teasing voices from other players on the sidelines of the field, and No. 13 smiled back awkwardly.
"Good shot!" No. 13 said to Yang Long, but he had already made a defensive move, and it could be seen that it was impossible for Yang Long to use this move again in the second round.
Second ball.
Yang Long was at the top of the three-point line, switching hands between left and right hands to dribble, and sometimes adding a few crotch dribbles. This time, No. 13 did not adopt the defensive strategy of last time, he directly stepped forward, trying to force the basketball in Yang Long's hand.
In the face of the rush, Yang Long bowed down his waist, spread his legs a small distance, and leaned on No. 13's body with his crotch to prevent him from stepping forward.
After stabilizing the possession, Yang Long must attack. Dribble with your right hand, use your left arm to slightly distance him from No. 13, and then stride towards the basket from the right side to try to shake off the defense!
No. 13 moved quickly at his feet, and a few side moves blocked Yang Long's path, but at this moment they had come to the edge of the penalty area, Yang Long dribbled with his right hand again, and No. 13 was still stuck between him and the basket.
At this time, Yang Long moved, and at the moment when the basketball rebounded from the ground in his hand, he relied on the stickiness generated by the feel and the basketball to pull the basketball back, and after turning around to the right, he held the ball in both hands and projected!
No. 13 was still stopping at the route of dribbling before Yang Long at this time, and at this time, he reacted and jumped forward on the spot, they were close in height, and it was impossible for No. 13 to block Yang Long's shot at this time. The ball began to spin back under the pluck of Yang Long's wrist, drawing a parabolic arc of nearly 45 degrees in the air.
The basketball hits the back edge of the inner circle of the basket, there is a muffled bang, and the ball goes in again!
Yang Long took a 2-0 lead and only needed one more goal to win this bullfight.
At this time, it was already like a precipice for No. 13.
The other members of the varsity team off the field also didn't hesitate, they knew that this time could no longer affect the mentality of the 13th.
Third goal.
The first two goals gave Yang Long confidence. After serving at the top of the arc, Yang Long chose to face No. 13 directly and pushed forward. The left and right hands were dribbling with a cross step, and the number 13 was not out of position.
When advancing to the free throw line, Yang Long made a big change of direction with his left hand, and he had already thought of the offensive means this time, and after changing direction, he made a quick stop jump shot.
When the basketball pushed out by his left hand made a sound of colliding with the ground, Yang Long found that his right hand did not touch the basketball!
At this time, No. 13 had already predicted the route of Yang Long's change of direction and dribble, and the ball was stolen, which was a successful defense!
Next, switch to the No. 13 attack. No. 13 is doing a left-hand dribble at the top of the arc, dribbling under the crotch and dribbling behind the back, it can be seen that as the point guard of the school team, his dribbling skills are very mature, and at this time, such dribbling is not to win the attention of the audience, but to warm up his hands and complete the conversion from the defensive end to the offensive end.
And Yang Long did not choose to step forward at this time, a gambling defense in exchange for a misposition, and then was easily basketed by No. 13.
moved, No. 13's dribbling route was the same as Yang Long's third time, when he came to the free throw line, No. 13 changed direction with a right hand to his left hand, and then made a step-back jumper, Yang Long originally moved horizontally to the middle of No. 13 and the basket, but No. 13's step-back caught Yang Long off guard!
Yang Long still jumped up to try to block, but it was obviously too late, and the basketball slashed through a sleek arc in the air before hitting the basket.
2 to 1.
Fourth goal.
No. 13 chose to advance to the left side of the basket after serving at the top of the arc, and with the experience of the previous ball, Yang Long always paid attention this time in case No. 13 used the trick of stepping back and jumping again again.
When he came to 45 degrees on the left side of the basket, No. 13 half-turned around and leaned on Yang Long's body with his crotch, looking like he was going to make a back hit.
Although Yang Long is not particularly strong, he still thinks he still has some advantages compared to No. 13, so it seems that his choice is asking for trouble.
Yang Long bowed his legs down and used the strength of his legs and waist against No. 13's crotch, ready to meet his back blow.
No. 13 leaned against Yang Long with his back, Yang Long did not move at all, and he was proud in his heart, your brother whose strength is not enough!
But Yang Long didn't get proud for too long, and saw No. 13 half-turn and dribble to Yang Long's left side!
"I said, why did he choose to hit me in the back?" Yang Long hurriedly changed the center and tried to block his route. However, he was wrong, only to see No. 13 make a beautiful turn and then jump with the ball in both hands, and hit a 45-degree turn to hit the board, and the basketball went into the basket again.
Don't be complacent when fighting bulls, underestimating your opponent will only lead to defeat.
2 to 2. At this time, Yang Long came to the edge of the cliff, and if he couldn't defend his next attack, then Yang Long would lose the bullfight with No. 13 with a score of 2-3.
Fifth goal.
No. 13 chose to hold the ball 45 degrees on the right wing of the three-point line.
Yang Long was unprecedentedly serious at this time, just staring at the basketball in No. 13's hand.
The 13th moved, or a continuous crotch dribble, Yang Long was unmoved, and the crotch dribble without changing direction and forward trend would only be a false shake.
Sure enough, after a few crotch dribbles, No. 13 suddenly accelerated, trying to break through from Yang Long's right side. Yang Long stuck to it tightly, pressing No. 13 beyond the bottom line, and under the physical confrontation, he had no other choice but to advance along the bottom line. After coming to the rebound, No. 13's foot was about to step on the bottom line, and he had no choice but to jump directly, change the ball to his left hand in the air, and make a layup with a lever!
Yang Long tried to block it, but after No. 13 completed the change of hands in the air, Yang Long's fingertips could no longer touch the ball!
Yang Long's heart hung in the air, but fortunately, the basketball rotated and rubbed against the rebound and slammed into the outer circle of the basket, and the ball did not go in.
Next, it was Yang Long who attacked.
This attack, Yang Long also chose to hold the ball at 45 degrees on the right side, almost the same script as No. 13, breaking through on the right side, and then coming to the bottom line under pressure. When he came to the rebound, Yang Long was already about to go out of the bottom line. At this time, you can only choose to shoot, otherwise you will be forced out of the bottom line.
Yang Long stopped the ball and held the ball in both hands to jump to the basket!
With the experience of the previous ball, No. 13 predicted that Yang Long would also change hands in the air and jump to the left side of the basket to make a left-handed layup, and he jumped early.
However, Yang Long did not jump immediately. After jumping on the 13th, Yang Long took his left foot as the pivot foot, completed the turn with his right foot, jumped, came to the right side of the basket, turned over and hit the board for a layup, and the ball went in!
3 to 2, Yang Long won the first bullfight!
"You're playing well." No. 13 did not feel resentful of his defeat, but praised Yang Long.
"It's just a fluke, if you're familiar with my style of play, you won't be able to jump just now." If No. 13 understands him and doesn't jump, once the ball is stopped at the bottom line, Yang Long will fall into a desperate situation of dead ball.
This is the competitive spirit that should be on the basketball court, do your best to win, even if you are not as good as others, you will lose openly.
