Chapter 53: Substitute Appearance
After the warm-up, both sides returned to the players' tunnel to wait for the host to introduce them.
Historically, Ozer has been the last to appear, but today it is the sixth from the bottom.
Playing in this position means that his name is not in the starting line-up tonight.
It should be Li Feng's temporary adjustment after listening to Ye Jiajia's words, in order to protect his proud disciple. Ye Jiajia suddenly understood the reason why he was angry, it was a pride hidden deep in his heart that was hit. He started from the first day he joined the team and has never sat down as a substitute except for the rotation and no need to play.
Although everyone's original intention was to ensure Ozer's safety, Ozer, who was bent on leading the team to win this game, may not be able to understand their good intentions.
At the beginning of the game, Polytechnic University occupied a comprehensive initiative at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the inside and outside lines blossomed, and the team's shooting rate reached 90 percent. The junior players who started in place of Ozer performed mediocrely, and the remaining two played reasonably well, barely able to score, but the defense was a bit ugly.
In the second half of the first quarter, Wu Hao and Zhang Yi were replaced, and the two freshmen showed enough hard work, but their strength could not be reached, and they could not narrow the score gap.
Ozer sat down and watched angrily and anxiously, and several requests to play were refused.
At the end of the first quarter, at 22:10, Polytechnic University led by 12 points, and was about to set a record for the largest score difference in the first quarter in the history of the Huashang University team.
"Coach, I'm in good shape, I'm okay with my hands." Ozer made another request, "Is it okay to let me play?" ”
On the offensive end, the playmaking tandem was very messy due to the lack of Ozer's passing, and if you want to adjust back to your normal rhythm, you really need his return.
Li Feng called the team doctor to carefully examine Hao Ze's fingers, and on the surface, there were still some bruises, and the slightest external stimulation would cause pain, but Hao Ze held back and did not react.
The team doctor's suggestion was to take a break, but it didn't say that he couldn't play at all, and Ozer strongly asked for it, Li Feng thought for a few minutes, and finally let him appear when there were still six minutes before the end of the half.
Hao Ze threw down the towel and did simple stretching movements on the sidelines, with a serious expression, and didn't even look at Ye Jiajia.
It's something that has never been seen before.
In the past, as long as she was there, no matter how tense the situation on the court was, whether he was about to play or had just left the court, he would give her a high-five at the first time, even if he didn't do anything, he would have to look at her to feel at ease.
But today, he is still angry, and his attitude is indifferent.
An old team member who was sitting two seats away from her saw the abnormality and asked in a low voice, "Senior sister, are you okay?" ”
Ye Jiajia squeezed out a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Even if there is something, now is not the time to say it, and she still has this self-awareness.
Returning to the field, Ozer reorganized the team's attack, probably the backbone returned, and the whole ball ran much smoother.
first assisted Zhang Yi for a three-pointer, and then gave Wu Hao, who was standing at the free throw line, a pass.
The number of assists kept increasing, but his shooting touch didn't come back, and after trying two missed shots, he focused more on passing.
The opponent's defense of him became tighter, and he began to use the game of trapping to cut off his contact with his teammates, and the quality of the ball he passed decreased. However, it was because he alone attracted two people to defend that he gave his teammates open opportunities, and every chance eventually turned into a score.
The pace of the offense increased, and this fast pace disrupted Polytechnic's original offensive and defensive rhythm, causing their shooting percentage to drop in the second half of the second quarter, and the success rate of the defense to drop even faster.
At half-time, the two sides played to a 35-32 score.
During the break, Li Feng took the players back to the lounge, and Ye Jiajia sat bored below, so she took advantage of this free time to run to the upper stands and join the camp of the family support club.
"Senior sister, why did you come up?" Zhang Yi's girlfriend Tong Tong immediately beckoned her to sit down when she saw her.
Wu Hao's girlfriend Mu Chen was also there: "Come on, come on, sit down." ”
Compared with Ye Jiajia's melancholy face, Tong Tong and Mu Chen were so happy, after all, the counterattack in the second quarter was so exciting, it was difficult for those sitting in the stands not to be infected.
Although Zhang Yi and Wu Hao are Haoze's seniors, Ye Jiajia is the senior sister of all of them, and after tossing and turning for a long time with this seniority and title, they still feel that it is more convenient to call them senior sisters.
Ye Jiajia sat between them, with a polite smile on her face, but her eyes were a little confused, and she still seemed to be preoccupied.
Mu Chen saw that something was wrong with her, and asked with concern: "Senior sister?" Why aren't you happy at all? Quarreled with that kid? ”
But anyone who has watched the game with Ye Jiajia knows that her shouting never stops in a game, she will cheer when she has a wonderful goal, she will cheer when she has a beautiful defense, she will cheer when Hao Ze scores, she will cheer when her teammates score, her seat is like a thorn, so she can't sit still at all. At first, Tong Tong and Mu Chen paid a little attention to their image when they watched the game, but after watching a few games with Ye Jiajia last season, the two of them completely let go of themselves.
Therefore, when they found that Ye Jiajia, who should be the most excited, suddenly became silent, they knew that there must be a problem.
"Did that kid at Haozer bully you? I'll ask Zhang Yi to clean him up when I go back! Tong Tong was concerned on the other side of her.
Ye Jiajia repeated that it was okay, it was okay, she didn't know how to say it at all, and she was afraid that they would tell his teammates if she said it, and he would have to be counted down again.
Indeed, she was always entangled in his hand, always worried that he would get hurt, because she cared about him, cared about him, worried about him, but kept talking, and she knew that she was annoying him. Thinking about it, when Mother Ye snorted her, didn't she often lose her temper herself......
"It's me who is not good, I said a few more words to the coach, so that he couldn't make the starting today." Ye Jiajia blamed herself a little.
But Mu Chen felt that this was not a big deal at all: "Just because of this, he is angry with you?" ”
"A little bit......"
Tong Tong suddenly realized: "I said, I ignored you when I saw him play just now." ”
Mu Chen was a little aggrieved for Ye Jiajia: "What's the matter, that's it?" Wu Hao used to play as a substitute for a year, and I didn't see him ......"
Tong Tong responded and said: "That's it, senior sister, I think you spoiled Haoze's kid, and you will get angry when you fart, and you will have it in the future?" ”
Mu Chen hugged Ye Jiajia: "Sister, you just sit here and watch the game, look at his stinky face!" ”
Tong Tong hugged her from the other side: "After watching the game, you can leave, I want to see if this kid can't see for a while, don't worry!" ”
Ye Jiajia was sandwiched between two people like this, one on each side, and two flowers acted as her flower messengers.
Alas, sometimes I really have to admit that there are more girls who feel sorry for girls.
