Chapter 16: Why don't I try?
The first game against the 19th class of high school basketball team, Zhang Gang asked about the situation of everyone, except for Lu Ming, everyone else will be more or less a little, and finally the main basketball force is determined to be Xia Yilong, Gao Ming, Li Chengze as the core of the five people, Lu Ming was left as a substitute.
The height of the basketball team members of the 19th class of high school is generally higher than that of the 7th class, and the 7th class is quite unfavorable when defending the 19th class, so under Xia Yilong's high score of 20 points in the first half, the 7th class is still weak by 14 points.
The main reason is that the defense has been broken through into a sieve, the nineteenth class one offense is almost all misplaced, everyone can easily tear the defense and get scores, although the nineteenth class five people are relatively mediocre, there is no Xia Yilong's superb scoring level of one dozen five, but everyone can easily score with an obvious height advantage, and the seven classes on the defensive end are handed over to Xia Yilong singles, and the nineteenth class focuses on "taking care" of Xia Yilong, although Xia Yilong performs well, but his whole body has been soaked with sweat, and his physical strength is a little exhausted.
Class 19 has scored too many easy and easy points, and it is an indelible blow to Class 7, the cheerleaders have lost their morale, Class 19 is a very obvious weak team, but they have not found any way to win, which undoubtedly makes the morale of Class 7 low to freezing.
"It would be nice if Li Zhenbiao was here, and we could advance to the quarterfinals. Gao Ming threw away the cup of water and complained.
"Don't talk about these useless things, fight well. Zhang Gang encouraged, but did not deny his words.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Ming's body, the hat of losing to the weak team made the unwilling heart of Class 7 burn, Li Zhenbiao's image was raised step by step, and Lu Ming also felt a resentment towards him in this atmosphere.
It was as if he had become the culprit who shattered the hopes of the seventh-class basketball team in high school to advance to the quarterfinals.
Lu Ming sighed and walked quickly in front of Zhang Gang, "Teacher, can I give it a try?"
"Don't you know how to fight?" Zhang Gang glanced at him, his eyes full of doubts.
"If you can't fight, can't you learn it first, you teach me now. Lu Ming said lightly.
"Learn and sell now, don't come to make trouble, basketball is not a handkerchief, just a smile." Gao Ming said with resentment.
The others couldn't help laughing, and looked at Lu Ming with a sullen gaze, and they all regarded him as the kind of person who deliberately disrupted the morale of the army.
Lu Ming turned a blind eye to everyone's eyes, standing in front of everyone, he jumped up quickly, and the vertical distance from his toes to the ground easily broke through one meter three, accompanied by a bounce speed once a second, the shocked crowd was silent, and Li Chengze's cup of drinking water fell on his pants without knowing it, and they were all stunned.
The first to react was Li Chengze, after all, he had fought with Lu Ming, and when he faced him alone, he knew how terrifying that person was, and Li Chengze seemed to recall the fear when he was dominated by Lu Ming.
Only then did he find that the mineral water soaked his pants, said hello to Zhang Gang, and went to the locker room by himself.
"Is this enough?" Lu Ming said lightly.
"Maybe we still have a chance. Zhang Gang's words undoubtedly reassured everyone, and the basketball players in Class 7 were hopeful.
At this time, it was less than five minutes before the start of the second half, because of time problems, Zhang Gang took out his mobile phone and only explained to Lu Ming the knowledge of defense, steals, blocks, walking and grabbing rebounds, etc., Lu Ming observed the half court and finally had a systematic understanding of basketball defense.
Zhang Gang looked down at the time, there were only thirty seconds left, looked at Xia Yilong, who was almost prostration, and said to Lu Ming, "When you attack, you just remember one sentence, put the basketball in the basket without fouling, and it will be considered a score." ”
At the beginning of the second half, Lu Ming replaced Li Chengze, who was changing clothes, and stood in the center position with a height of 1.78 meters, which attracted a burst of boos from the audience.
The center forward of the nineteenth class is about 1.92 meters tall, which is in stark contrast to Lu Ming, who defends him.
Why did Li Chengze, who is 1.85 meters 55, be replaced with Li Chengze, who is 1.78 meters and claims to be unable to play basketball, the students in Class 7 are full of puzzlement.
Because the basketball team was discussing in the lounge, the others didn't know about Lu Ming's bounce power, but only remembered the fact that he couldn't play basketball.
"Did you give up?" someone in Class 19 whispered.
"No wonder Li Chengze was replaced, because he was afraid of losing and being embarrassed. "Someone in Class 7 was very impressed with the idea of giving up the game.
"Then Xia Yilong should also be replaced, he is the hardest working person in the seventh class basketball team. Some people feel deeply sorry for Xia Yilong, and they are full of doubts and dissatisfaction with the scheduling of basketball coach Zhang Gang.
"We'll watch him for a round, if it doesn't work, we'll go to the teacher and ask him to replace Xia Yilong. Xia Yilong's ball skills conquered many people in the first half, and some classmates even dared to stand up and refute Zhang Gang for him.
Although the players of the nineteenth class are very mediocre, they play very smartly, they counted the scores of each player in the first half, and found that when the singular Li Chengze played against the center Wang Hai, he lost the most points, and Wang Hai easily took the highest score in the first half.
Seeing a more frustrated center in Class 7, Wang Hai was already happy in his heart, desperately asking his teammates for the ball, and his teammates passed him to him according to the established tactics to make him misplace the singles.
Wang Hai grabbed the ball with one hand, made a job of asking Lu Ming to ask for his index finger, and said provocatively, "I can cross you as easily as crossing the road." ”
Seeing that Lu Ming was indifferent, Wang Hai said angrily, "Okay, let you see the real technology." ”
After saying that, I want to do a continuous crotch flower ball action, but the ball shifted when I slapped the ball, Lu Ming saw the ball out of his hand, reached out and clicked the basketball, the basketball passed through Wang Hai's crotch, and Lu Ming easily passed Wang Hai.
"Is this how you cross the street?" Lu Ming laughed at Wang Hai, ignoring Wang Hai's annoyance, he slapped the ball a few times to try his touch, and gave the ball to the point guard Gao Ming.
Gao Ming held the ball for half the court, waited for his teammates to stand in a good position, and handed the ball to Xia Yilong to deal with.
As soon as Xia Yilong got the ball, the cheerleaders of Class 7 erupted into a tsunami, "Come on Xia Yilong, come on Xia Yilong......"
Xia Yilong's body was very tired, he didn't have much desire to attack, and he used his line of sight to catch his teammates, but unfortunately his teammates' height was crushed by the opposite side and was impermeable.
It's too late to break through in the offensive time, Xia Yilong found a position at random to grab the shot, the ball felt crooked as soon as he shot, the rebound in the first half was blown up cleanly, and Xia Yilong subconsciously ran back.
The rest of the seventh class gave up fighting for the rebound ball and quickly retreated, except for Lu Ming, the people in the nineteenth class also pulled the space, waiting for the offensive opportunity, and Wang Hai got the final word of the rebound.
"Attack!" At the moment when the basketball was about to fall, Wang Hai shouted, jumped instantly, and was confident that he could successfully collect the ball.
The guard of Class 19 glanced at Wang Hai with an expression of disbelief, and exclaimed to Wang Hai, "Be careful, Wang Hai!"
Behind Wang Hai, Lu Ming was one position ahead of him when he jumped back, flew high, his head actually crossed the basket, the ball had not yet fallen to the basket, he grabbed it with his hand, and raised his arm high.
"Is he going to dunk a dunk?" Zhang Gang's eyes widened, his heart set off a turbulent wave, and he was very excited, not only Zhang Gang, but all the teachers and students in Class 7, and even the people watching the game seemed to be holding their breath at this moment, how shocking would it be for a high school student who was less than 1.8 meters to dunk.
Lu Ming changed the action to the end, aimed at the position, and put the ball into the basket like an egg in the bowl, the slam dunk action that everyone was looking forward to did not appear, but this extremely ugly basket action, and his heart was as uncomfortable and awkward as accidentally eating a fly.
Looking at the action of feeding everyone flies, Zhang Gang shook his head and said with his hand, "I would have told him about the slam dunk action if I knew it." ”
Gao Ming walked over and patted his arm, "Why don't you slam a dunk, such a good opportunity?"
Lu Ming thought for a while and asked, "How many points can you get for a slam dunk?"
I didn't expect him to ask like this, Gao Ming was obviously stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Two points?"
"I can score a few points for this action. Lu Ming continued to ask.
"Two points. Gao Ming said subconsciously.
"Since it's all two points, what's the difference if you don't dunk or not?" Lu Ming pretended to be profound, patted his shoulder, and ran past him, feeling relieved in his heart, but he couldn't help but think, "What is a slam dunk."
Gao Ming thought seriously for a while, and always felt that there was something wrong with what Lu Ming said, and it felt very awkward, but after analyzing it, he felt that what he said was still very reasonable.
Gao Ming was stunned and forgot to retreat, and was easily scored two points by the nineteenth class of five to four, and after the round, seeing that Gao Ming was still in a daze, Zhang Gang hurriedly called a timeout.
"Gao Ming, why are you stunned if you don't retreat on the court?" except for Lu Ming, all the basketball team members were fierce and complained.
"Teacher, I have a question for you, slam dunk and basket are both worth two points, what's the difference?" Gao Ming was puzzled, frowned and asked Zhang Gang for advice.
"Alas, you're all two-pointers for this, what difference can there be, aren't they all the same? Zhang Gang stomped his feet angrily and replied unscrupulously.
"Oh, what Lu Ming said is right. Gao Ming suddenly realized, and his confused eyes became clear again.
Xia Yilong paused with his hand holding the cup, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he thought that although the slam dunk was also two points, it would still have an extremely large effect on improving our morale and hitting the morale of the other party, but he explained this to Gao Ming, and it was worth the loss to wrap him around and continue to be in a daze on the field.
"The three of you drink plenty of water, get some rest, and adjust yourself. Zhang Gang commanded, and hurriedly beckoned to Lu Ming, "Lu Ming, come here." ”
The two walked to a secluded place, Zhang Gang continued to teach Lu Ming, and pointed to the phone screen, "Do you know the difference between a slam dunk and a basket?"
Lu Ming nodded, "Although they are both two points, the slam dunk action is still handsome." ”
Zhang Gang whispered to Lu Ming, "Use more slam dunks, don't use your basket anymore, slam dunks can boost the morale of our side, understand?"
Lu Ming snorted, the two returned to the team, Zhang Gang glanced at the time, and encouraged everyone, "There are still ten minutes left, but I am full of confidence in you, go ahead, get that damn victory back for me." ”
"Oh. The basketball team shouted in unison, and its sound was thunderous and inspiring.
