Chapter Ninety-Five: It's for You to Vote
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
After the break, the Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank youth team looked aggressive as soon as they came up, especially several of its star players gradually regained their touch.
First, its striker Zhang Dayu received the team's pass and dunked it, directly overtaking the score.
Then Ren Kai made a steal and quickly counterattacked.
Wu Qian also began to frequently fire artillery on the periphery.
Just three minutes into the third quarter, Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank launched a wave of 10:0 attacks, directly rewriting the score to 41:50.
At this time, Yu Leping, the head coach of the Zhejiang team, looked better.
Gao Dazhuang couldn't sit still off the field at this time, and turned his head from time to time to look at Coach Todd beside him.
The old American man stood uncharacteristically and quietly on the sidelines at this time, looking at the players on the field with no expression on his face.
But those who are used to the old man know that just going to that station gives people a feeling of storm.
And Zhai Yi, the attacking core of the Shanghai Sharks youth team, also knew in his heart that he had to respond.
"Slap" Yang Kai very comfortably passed the ball to the hands of Zhai Yi who wanted the ball on the bottom line, Zhai Yi swung his head after receiving the ball, and immediately turned in the opposite direction after shaking a shot, and squeezed away the defender Lai Junhao with his excellent strength, and wanted to dunk in front of the basket.
"Drink" Zhai Yi yelled, slammed the ball into the basket with both hands, and he wanted to use the ball to boost the morale of the whole team.
However, Zhang Dayu, the opposing high school forward sitting under the basket, had already prevented Zhai Yi's breakthrough, and a pair of big hands were firmly pressed on the smashed basketball.
"Smack", after a fierce confrontation between the two in the air, the basketball flew into the air.
However, Zhai Yi immediately jumped a second time, and his excellent bounce actually allowed him to grab this offensive rebound above the head of Zhang Dayu, who was 2.12 meters.
The tall and strong man under the "good ball" field couldn't help but shout excitedly.
As soon as Zhai Yi landed, he looked up at the basket, jumped up, and immediately prepared to attack the basket again.
At this time, Zhang Dayu, who was sitting under the basket, also immediately jumped up to block.
"Damn, feint" Zhang Dayu, who had just jumped, suddenly saw Zhai Yi getting farther and farther away from him, and couldn't help but secretly say that it was not good, this kid didn't jump at all.
After shaking Zhang Dayu, Zhai Yi held his breath and immediately pulled it out on the spot, a small hook hand, wanting to hit the other party for a time difference.
"Smack", but as soon as the ball was shot, Zhai Yi'er suddenly stretched out a hand and slammed the ball away.
"Damn" Zhai Yi looked back and saw that it was the opponent's big forward Lai Junhao.
After Lai Junhao was passed by Zhai Yi, he has been waiting for an opportunity in the back, no, he gave Zhai Yi a big hat when he seized the opportunity, which can be regarded as revenge.
However, the ball that was slapped away by Lai Junhao happened to fall into the hands of Yang Kai on the periphery, and Yang Kai did not stop after receiving the ball, and immediately made a mid-range jumper.
"Brush", the basketball accurately hit the center of the net, and Yang Kai scored the first point of the second half for the Shanghai Sharks Youth Team.
"Good fight," Gao Dazhuang shouted at Yang Kai with applause from the audience.
However, Yang Kai's goal only temporarily eased the pressure of the team, and could not stop the opponent's attack wave.
After Yang Kai scored, the opposing power forward Lai Junhao also responded with a mid-range jumper in the same position.
In the next game, the youth team of Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank obviously had the upper hand, with tacit understanding, combination of internal and external, and more flowering.
Although the Shanghai Sharks Youth Team bit the score tightly, every goal was particularly difficult, and there were even a few balloons.
Even so, the score was slowly stretched to 10 points, and the Zhejiang team took a double-digit lead.
"Tut", at this time the referee's whistle sounded, "Shanghai Sharks Youth Team Requests Replacement", and halfway through the third quarter of the game, Gao Dazhuang once again hung up.
"Da Zhuang", "It's good if you get on", "Clean up the group of girls opposite" The players of the Shanghai Big Shark Youth Team immediately surrounded them, obviously they have all agreed with the core position of Gao Dazhuang.
And a few people on the opposite side looked at the tall and strong with cold eyes.
"Come on, I want to beat not only your team, but also you," Wu Qian said secretly in his heart.
As soon as the tall and strong "pop" returned to the court, the ball immediately passed to his hands.
Standing near the free throw line, he slowly turned around with the ball in his hands and faced the defender Wu Qian.
Wu Qian was about a meter away from the tall and strong, half-squatting and spreading his hands to take a defensive posture.
Gao Dazhuang glanced at Wu Qian, suddenly his shoulders sank, and the dribble accelerated to break forward.
"It's coming" Wu Qian's heart tightened, and he immediately took a step back, opening up the space to prevent being forcibly overtaken by Gao Dazhuang using his speed.
"Squeak" The tall and strong sneakers and the floor made a screeching sound, and just as Wu Qian retreated sharply, the tall and strong suddenly stopped and jumped.
"What?" At this time, Wu Qian could only watch weakly as the basketball crossed an arc in the air and flew towards the basket.
"Dang" is just maybe the tall and strong has been on the bench for a long time, and when he first came on the court, he obviously didn't feel anything, and the ball was too strong to be thrown and bounced out of the front of the basket.
But fortunately, the next attack of Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank was also prevented.
"Da Zhuang catches the ball" Yang Kai shouted, passed the ball to the active run, and opened up the tall and strong in the gap.
After receiving the ball, the tall man immediately turned around and jumped without stopping.
"When", but this time the tall and strong shot was a little stronger, and the ball still missed.
The tall man waved his hand at his teammates embarrassedly.
In the next game, Gao Dazhuang seemed to have been hit by evil, and the opponent's basket seemed to have a layer of cover.
"When, dang, dang" are three pieces of "iron", although the tall and strong playing days are not long, but the situation of missing 5 consecutive shots has never been encountered.
"Evil, today" Gao Dazhuang touched his head and muttered to Yang Kai beside him.
"It's okay, fortunately, the other party's hit rate is not high" Yang Kai smiled and comforted.
"Counterattack" Zhai Yi yelled, just now an attack of the Zhejiang team was covered by Zhai Yi under the basket, and Zhai Yi immediately passed the ball to Yang Kai.
The counterattack of the Shanghai Sharks youth team was quite fast, Yang Kai advanced quickly with the ball, instantly entered the opponent's penalty area, and distributed the ball to the next tall and strong after attracting the opponent's multiple people.
After receiving the ball, the tall and strong man made an emergency stop, jumped up, and was ready to shoot.
"Drink" At this time, Lai Junhao, the Zhejiang team under the basket, abandoned Yang Kai and pounced on the tall and strong.
With a "snap", the tall man who was already in the air and was ready to shoot suddenly retracted and stuffed the ball straight to Yang Kai under the basket.
"Good pass" Yang Kai yelled, and immediately after receiving the ball, he made a reflexive hook hand, "brush", and the basketball fell into the net with a spin.
Yang Kai scored 2 points for the Shanghai Sharks Youth Team.
"Beautiful" The tall man clenched his fist and gestured to Yang Kai.
In the next game, Gao Dazhuang passed a few good balls and assisted Zhai Yi to score consecutive points under the basket.
At 58:66, at the end of the third quarter, the Shanghai Sharks Youth Team temporarily trailed the Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank Youth Team by 8 points.
"Whew" Gao Dazhuang took a breath, and just sat down to drink saliva, when he suddenly found Coach Todd squatting in front of Gao Dazhuang with a tiger face.
"If you don't score a few shots, you're not going to shoot?" Coach Todd asked with a grimace.
"It doesn't feel very good," said Tall and Strong, speaking honestly.
"If you don't feel good, you can't shoot on the perimeter, so you can't impact their inside line? What about your breakthrough? What about your under-the-basket skills? Coach Todd retorted.
"But teammates score the same thing," Gao Dazhuang muttered a little unconvinced.
"You're the team's shooting guard right now, you have to figure out that your first job on the court is to score, and I have no objection to you passing the ball to teammates in better positions, but you don't want to shirk your responsibilities just because you don't feel good," Coach Todd reprimanded.
"It's okay if you lose this game, but I want to see your growth, see your progress, do you understand?" Coach Todd continued.
"It seems to understand a little" Gao Dazhuang nodded, he could feel the importance of this old American man to himself, and suddenly there was an inexplicable pressure.
"It's good to understand" Coach Todd turned to look at the other players, "You all pay attention, wait until the fourth quarter starts, give the ball to the tall and strong attacker, pay attention to cover, and create offensive opportunities for him."
"Huh? No, coach, let's play team basketball," Gao Dazhuang immediately stood up and complained.
"yes, in this team, your job is to score, to get you to shoot until you do," Coach Todd said with a vicious glare.
