Chapter 131: Being teased
Time went back to yesterday morning, after listening to Lin Lei's "suggestion", King Liming went to Coach Liu's room to admit his mistake and the review began. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two brothers knocked on the door and walked in, and walked in uneasily. In the room, Coach Liu sat on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs, and was not surprised to see the two people walking in. Feelings, he is just waiting for these two to come in after listening to Lin Lei's "advice"!
Respectfully bowing his head in front of Coach Liu, Representative King spoke: "Coach, I'm really sorry about the pillow incident just now. We ......"
"Ah, what is this doing?" Coach Liu said in a very unhappy tone, "Didn't you say it just now, it was an accident." No matter how angry I am, I won't punish you for an accident. If you have said that it was an accident, don't take it to heart. ”
Coach Liu's "comfort" was heard in King's ears, and the anxiety turned into fear: It's over, and he is really angry. Of course you won't punish us, but you'll retaliate. Liming on the side didn't hear Coach Liu's voice, and he was about to raise his head stupidly, but he was pulled by the difficult brother next to him, and then looked at King's warning eyes, and finally didn't raise his head.
The two of them stood in front of Coach Liu, such a small action naturally could not hide from his eyes, Coach Liu almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly covered up the smile on his face by drinking tea. When he raised his head, he had a serious and sullen expression.
King continued to "heartbreaking" and said: "It's really our fault, pillows shouldn't be thrown around...... and he lowered his head and spoke in a painful tone, with a standard expression of regret and heartache. But sitting in front of him, Coach Liu didn't seem to hear it at all, took a sip of tea lightly with a teacup, and said lightly: "Tomorrow's opponent is Russia, alas!" ”
An inexplicable sentence of dawn was completely confused, and secretly turned his head to look at King. King seemed to smell a little bit of it, and said, "Is tomorrow's opponent Russia?" Are they strong? ”
"Nonsense, is it not strong to be able to win until now?"
"It doesn't matter how strong they are, we will be able to beat them under the wise leadership of your coach." King's face did not change at all when he said this, and he was in admiration when he saw the dawn next to him.
"It sounds like a sycophant, hahaha, but I like it. Truth be told, it is not difficult to defeat Russia under the leadership of this coach! ”
Only then did Liming realize that the thickest skinned person was Coach Liu who was sitting there. This also explains King's excellent performance just now, is it in the same vein! The heart muttered this, but Dawn still nodded with King.
"But although this coach is wise, the game still depends on you to play. If the players on the court are not competitive, no matter how clever the coach is, he will not be able to win. ”
"Coach, don't worry, we will fight for you in tomorrow's game, and we will definitely fight with 100% strength!" As King spoke, he held his head high and had a sworn expression. Seeing that Dawn next to him was still stupidly lowering his head, he patted him on the back, "Yes, Dawn!" ”
"Yes yes yes ......"
Coach Liu said with a skeptical expression: "Fight hard? ”
"Go all out!"
"How do I know if you're fighting hard?"
King is speechless, yes, how can it be considered "go all out"? Haven't you been fighting hard so far?
"Alas, if we win tomorrow's game, I'll forget about some unhappy things as soon as I'm happy. Alas, who wants to keep in mind these unhappy things all the time. For example, you hit me with a pillow ......" The meaning of the words couldn't be clearer, even a dull guy like Liming heard the smell of it, and hurriedly said: "We will definitely win tomorrow's game!" ”
As long as it's a competition, who can guarantee that you will win? What an idiot! The king on the side sighed secretly.
Coach Liu glanced at King with a sparkle in his eyes, and continued to add casually: "Of course, as long as you work hard, I am very happy whether you win or lose the game!" ”
Dawn glared: How does this sound like the words of an elementary school teacher encouraging students to study hard? King slapped Dawn's head, who was rolling his eyes, and asked tentatively, "How can we play hard?" ”
"Well, there's a very simple criterion for this: if you score forty or fifty points in a game, it should be all the best to play."
Forty or fifty points? King was about to faint when he heard this.
"It's two people!" Coach Liu's addition.
Two people? The two people standing in front of Coach Liu looked at each other, forty or fifty points for two people is not a problem, which game does the two of them score a total of forty or fifty points?
"Of course, if a player only scores the whole game, it only means that the player is playing too alone, not cooperating with his teammates, not following the coach's tactics. You two aren't that kind of players, are you? ”
"No, no, absolutely not, we resolutely obey the coach's tactical arrangement!"
"Then there should always be a dozen or twenty in a game of grabbing rebounds, passing assists or something, right?"
A dozen or twenty rebounds? Assists? Even if it's two people, it's ...... Also...... King is going to faint again!
"I'm talking about rebounds and assists combined!"
Sum up? Fortunately, it adds up, King sighed lightly and then resumed his high voice: "There is absolutely no problem, coach, you just look at us." We race hard! ”
"Look at you?"
"Look at us!" Answers in unison.
"Won't there be a problem?"
"Absolutely no problem!"
"Okay, then you can sign it!" Coach Liu pushed the open notebook in front of them in front of them, and there was a pen on the notebook.
Sign? King and Dawn looked at each other and picked up their notebooks. It clearly says "Agreement: ...... Match against Russia...... Score: 50, rebounds and assists: 20 ......, and agreed that if they could not meet the standard, the two would voluntarily clean the toilet of the Guohua Youth Team for a month after returning to China. Attached: Technical data conversion standards: one frontcourt rebound = two points, one backcourt rebound = one point, one assist = two points, one steal = three points...... If one of them is not enough to meet the standard, it can be converted into other surplus data ......" Finally, the two parties to the agreement signed Coach Liu has signed his name.
"This ...... This ......" The two people holding the notebook suddenly blushed, and they suddenly understood in their hearts: Isn't this obviously a set of clothes ready for them to drill into?
"You decide whether to sign or not, and never force it." Coach Liu leisurely picked up the teacup in front of him, and the expression on his face almost stated: I'm not afraid that you won't sign!
The brothers and sisters looked at each other tragically, and they both read the desolation of each other's eyes: people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, so I can only sign.
King's hand trembled and reached for the pen on the table, and Dawn grabbed his hand, and he still had to make a final effort: "Can you lose a few rebounds and assists?" ”
Coach Liu, who was drinking tea, snorted out of his nose with a "poof" of the tea he drank, and replied angrily while coughing: "Refuse to bargain!" ”
Seeing that Coach Liu was angry, the two brothers didn't dare to do it anymore, and both signed their names.
Out of the room, there were bursts of "......quack" laughter from Coach Liu's room behind him, which was Coach Liu's treacherous laughter after his treacherous plan succeeded.
This is the whole process of solving the pillow incident. signed such a humiliating covenant under the city, and it is understandable why the brothers King and Dawn have been depressed for the past two days. The match against Russia was their only chance, and it's understandable why both of them had a murderous look on their faces when they heard the name "Russia" for the past two days.
With such an in-depth understanding of the pillow incident, it is very easy to understand the meaning of the gestures of the two people just now. Raising two fingers is to tell Coach Liu, "I got two points, don't forget to write them down." King held up a finger to say, "And one of my assists!" ”
That's why Coach Liu endured so hard! And Lin Lei, who also knows the inside story, can still play so calmly, so he has to admire his super self-control.
In fact, if King and Liming only need to calm down a little in the past two days, and look back and think about the content of the agreement, they will find that the so-called agreement is actually a joke from beginning to end.
In fact, the reaction of King and Liming had already been expected by Coach Liu, and the agreement was just a joke, but the effect that Coach Liu expected had fully appeared - that is, the powerful attack power and attack climax that broke out between the two people in the game.
In the game against Russia, Coach Liu vowed to win the game, claiming that Russia was just a whetstone for the Chinese youth team to encounter a reunion with the American team, but as a professional coach, he would not blindly ignore the strength of the opponent, and he knew better than anyone else the strength of the opponent, Russia is definitely the strongest opponent that the Chinese youth team has encountered so far.
Comparing the technical statistics of the Chinese youth team and Russia from the start of the World Youth Championships to the present, we can roughly judge the strength comparison between the two sides: all the games won by the two teams are to subdue the opponent with a score of more than 100, but the average score of Russia is 110 points, and the Chinese youth team is only a little more than 100 points. Defensively, the Chinese youth team limited the opponent's score to 15 points, while Russia limited the opponent's score to 80 points; The Chinese youth team averaged 45 rebounds per game, while Russia averaged 55 rebounds per game, and it was clear that the Chinese youth team was also inferior defensively.
The data contrast is so stark, but Coach Liu is still full of confidence in winning the game. Again, here's why: it's not the stats that decide the game.
After carefully studying the game in Russia, Coach Liu had to admit that there was indeed no possibility for the Chinese youth team to defeat the opponent, and the only chance to win the game was to go off the beaten path --- fight against the opponent's defensive advantage with a stronger attack.
With a stronger attack and more points, Coach Liu dug into the remaining attacking potential of the Chinese youth team, and his eyes were finally aimed at Liming.
So far, Dawn has averaged nearly 29 points per game and ranks first on the team, which is not without a good performance. But looking back at the game where Dawn played with a critical eye, Coach Liu can still find evidence of his poor offense.
Maybe it's because of his background, maybe it's because he doesn't want to steal the limelight from others, or it's the first time that he has so many powerful teammates around him who has learned to rely on him, and the number of shots at the dawn of the game has not been very much. The basketball is in his hands, and the choice of passing and shooting is mostly passing. You must know that Coach Liu has been asking him to increase the number of shots. With an average of 20 points per game, but the number of shots is less than 20, the scoring efficiency is staggering, and it also makes people sigh: if they take a few more shots, the attack of the Chinese youth team should be more powerful.
In the last game against India, in the fourth quarter when Zhou Jie fouled and King left injured, when the Chinese youth team was facing the crisis of defeat, Liming suddenly burst out with a powerful attack, and almost all the points of the Chinese youth team in the fourth quarter were covered by one person.
After reviewing all of Liming's performances, Coach Liu concluded that Liming can only perform like in the last quarter of the last game when his emotions are fully in the heat of the game, or when the team is facing a crisis and he has to step up. In other words, the dawn subconsciously needs a reason to erupt.
And the intention of Coach Liu's agreement is to give him this reason!
Coach Liu was not worried that when Dawn found out that the so-called agreement was a complete joke, he would laugh at its terms and demands, and the game completely ignored it. The so-called talented players are people with a lot of character, and even if they know it's a joke, they will match the terms of the agreement. He was almost certain that Dawn, who had fulfilled the terms after the game, would run up to him and be triolated.
The terms of the agreement, which tied King and Dawn together, were also the result of Coach Liu's careful consideration. Bundling the requirements for these two people avoids the mental baggage of one of them "stealing the other's score", and every time anyone completes a shot, it is for the two of them to have a common "deed of sale".
Naturally, any one of these people includes the dawn.
On the court, Dawn and King's performance was as he expected, like two tigers descending from the mountain, unstoppable. Looking at the performance of the two people on the field, Coach Liu couldn't help but admire himself: How can I be so smart?
One thing must be confirmed that the "pillow incident" was not expected by anyone in advance, and grabbing a pillow can make a big deal and then sign such an agreement, Coach Liu really deserves the word "smart".
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it cunning.
On the court, the Chinese Youth Team Dawn and King are like two tigers coming down the mountain to feed, and the red eyes are murderous and glance at the opponent who dares to block their advance, and the expression is like a tiger who chooses people and devours them. When the Russian defenders in front of them met their eyes, their hearts couldn't help but flutter.
Dawn and King didn't care if their expressions frightened their opponents, at the moment they only had basketballs in their eyes, and their minds were thinking about how to snatch the basketball from each other's hands and send it to the opponent's basket.
"Rub!" The basketball of the Russian point guard was suddenly dialed out, and a figure strung out at the same time, grabbing the basketball that bounced on the ground in the blink of an eye---Dawn!
It is the dawn of the attack and defense against the opponent's point guard who breaks the ball!
The basketball control under his hands and feet suddenly accelerated, and the proud speed unfolded at full speed, and by the time the Russian defender turned to pursue, he had been thrown off the position.
The line of the forbidden area jumped up, the stretched body was in the air like a big bird spreading its wings and flying, and the basketball raised high smashed down with a bang when the body rose to the highest, "Boom! "Slam dunk!
"Pap, pap......" The basketball that fell on the ground bounced unhurriedly, and the figure on the basket fell gently, turned around, and raised the index finger of his right hand and shook his arm fiercely.
The stadium burst into cheers and cheers, and the excited fans in front of the TV jumped to their feet and shouted "Beautiful!" The two commentators learned from the audience and jumped up and yelled, "Beautiful! Thankfully, the TV camera didn't cut back to the live room at this time.
"Yay!" Liming and King, who were high-fived and celebrated, looked at Coach Liu on the sidelines at the same time, although they didn't make a gesture this time, the look of staring also seemed to remind Coach Liu: "Look, it's scoring again!" ”
The score was 12:8, and the Chinese youth team led by four points, and the twelve points Dawn and King teamed up to score seven points.
Such a start is indeed unexpected for Russia, and the fierce momentum of Dawn and King is even more incomprehensible to them: "Desperate at the beginning!" Seems a bit excessive, huh? ”
But whether they understand it or not, they don't want to lose this game either. The coach on the sidelines of the Russian team made gestures, and the Russian team controlled the tempo on the field.
The Chinese youth team was demoralized because of the continuous wonderful performances of Liming and King, and Zhou Jie was even more excited about Liming's dunk, so he thought about doing the same. Liming, King, Zhou Jie, plus another Chen Haonan who is also emotional, almost the entire Chinese youth team is flamboyant and impetuous. Fortunately, there is also a calm Lin Lei. He is responsible for controlling the ball, firmly controlling the rhythm when attacking, and constantly reminding the players to move and assist when defending.
No matter how Dawn and King stared, the pace of the game finally slowed down with the efforts of both point guards. And Dawn finally sobered up a lot after eating a foul.
The game is finally back to its normal rhythm.
Coach Liu, who was sitting on the sidelines, didn't move his butt from beginning to end, didn't give any instructions to Lin Lei, and didn't yell at King and Liming to calm them down. Always a look of leisurely and a steady expression of sitting on the Diaoyu Tai.
Obviously, all this was expected by him, and the situation was never out of his control.
Time, in the fifth minute of the first quarter, the score was 12:8, and the game returned to its normal rhythm. In the first minute of the first quarter, the score was 14:10, and Russia controlled the basketball organization offense.
Although Russia is located in South America, their basketball is European. Solid fundamentals, consistent shooting, and crazy outside three-pointers, all of which are the basic elements of European basketball, are very evident in the Russian team. But they still have their own distinctive characteristics with European teams, that is, they are very fast in attack.
The other team on the field, the Chinese Youth Team, is also known for its fast-paced attack in this World Youth Championship, and when these two teams meet, the pace of the game can be imagined. Therefore, as far as this game is concerned, the so-called normal rhythm is not an unhurried positional attack and defense. Once the tempo was re-controlled, the pace of the game began to pick up again.
The Russian offense is typical of mobile offensive tactics, with a dazzling array of off-ball runs and every player on the team is an attacking player. With an excellent playmaker and four players all with some possession, the mobile offense is as effective as the NBA's famous triangle offense----- and their 110 points average is the highest of any team at this World Youth Championship.
The Chinese youth team is not a team that is good at defense, and even Coach Liu does not have a good way to face Russia's attack. After weighing the pros and cons, Coach Liu chose a more energy-saving regional joint defense. This is also one of the best defensive tactics mastered by national basketball.
What do you do with the energy you save? Naturally, it is to go on the offensive.
In the joint defense, Coach Liu deployed four defenders on the inside, which was to counter the rebounding advantage of the Russian team. "Fifteen frontcourt rebounds per game" is definitely a staggering statistic. Rebounding is the guarantee of offense, and one more rebound is one more opportunity to attack, which is crucial for the Chinese youth team that wants to fight with the opponent to attack.
In a zoned defense, four players are responsible for the joint defense, and the remaining one player is responsible for marking people on the line. The Chinese youth team is responsible for marking people.
Like Coach Liu's offensive tactics, Russia's offense also has a tactical core player. That's their playmaker LeBron Bazahe.
He is 201cm tall and weighs 100 kilograms, is extremely fast, has excellent jumping, and can do everything to score, rebound and assist. He is averaging rebounds and steals and 0.31 blocks per game, shooting 45.2% from the field, 32.5% from three-point range and 88% from the free throw line. This is an All-Star statistic even in the NBA. Any team that wants to defend such a player will definitely take the trap. When Coach Liu sent Liming to defend him alone, he didn't expect to be able to completely defend him by relying on Liming.
But Dawn didn't know this, he had been trying to defend hard, and he had been annoyed, because he hadn't really defended the opponent once so far in the game.
(To be continued.) )
