Chapter 16: The Crowd Closes

However, compared with the senior players, the freshmen who have not undergone high-intensity training are obviously not as physically strong as the old students, and fortunately, this intra-team training match only lasted 20 minutes, otherwise the freshmen team would not be able to hold on at all.

Even so, with the last three minutes of the game, in addition to Uozi and Ikegami, the state of the other three freshmen was obviously affected.

"Everyone must hold on, as long as we hold on to the advantage, the final victory will be ours.

If you think about it, we defeated the old team on the first day of joining the team, which is likely to make the history of our Lingnan team. ”

Seeing that his teammates began to slack off, Yuzhu took the initiative to stand up and boost morale.

As for whether the Lingnan team had ever had a new team counterattack on the old team before, Yuzhu didn't know, but he felt that there was a high probability that it hadn't happened.

At the thought of making history, the players of the new team were reinvigorated again, as if an invisible force had been injected into their bodies, making them forget their fatigue for a while.

Ikegami pestered Yusaku Ozawa, as did his teammates, dragging their tired paces to keep up with their respective opposing players.

For a time, the senior players did not have a chance.

Matsushita Xujian had to force a breakthrough, his explosiveness was very strong, and he burst into it all at once.

The passerby point guard tried his best to interfere, but his confrontation was not as good as Matsushita Xujian, and his speed was not as good, and he was successfully broken through by Matsushita Xujian.

At the moment of attracting passers-by small forwards to assist in defense, Matsushita Asahi immediately passed the ball to Sasaki Oribe, who was in an open position.

Sasaki Oribe received the basketball and subconsciously jumped to shoot.

At the critical moment, Yuzhu rushed up, and it was a bloody hat.

Just when the basketball was about to rush out of the bottom line, Yusaku Ozawa flew to save the ball and passed the ball to the basket to the hometown of Ou Nan under the basket.

Because it was too hasty, the ball was not very comfortable, and Danan had to adjust it and wanted to dunk.

But when he jumped, Yuzhu appeared behind him, and he jumped up as well, just a pegboard hat.

Danan stumbled to the ground when he was hit, if he didn't hold on to the basketball hoop, he was afraid that he would have been knocked to the ground.

After grabbing the rebound, Yuzhu saw Ikegami who was sprinting and hurriedly threw the ball over.

Due to the save, Yusaku Ozawa has not yet returned to his position, which gives Ikegami a chance to attack quickly.

"Not good!"

Matsushita Xujian hurriedly pursued, his speed was faster than Ikegami, and he finally caught up with Ikegami when he caught the ball, and he reached out to steal.

Using his strong body, Ikegami carried the harassment of Matsushita Asahi Sword and forced a three-step layup.

Swish~

Matsushita Asahi Ken was too short and too light, and he was not Ikegami's opponent at all in terms of confrontation, so his layup was not disturbed much.

"Well done!"

Yuzhu raised his right hand and patted it on the pond of the defense.

As a result, the score was back to five points, but the game was only left in the last minute.

The senior team began to pick up speed, and Yusaku Ozawa received a pass from Asahi Matsushita.

Yusaku Ozawa is arguably the most capable of scoring among the senior players, and this time, he faked a real shot and jumped again at the moment when Ikegami retreated.

Ikegami also jumped up and tried to interfere with Yusaku Ozawa's shot, only to find that Yusaku Ozawa was getting farther and farther away from him.

Step-back jumper!

Looking at the basket that appeared in the field of vision, Yusaku Ozawa threw the basketball in his hand.

The corners of his mouth went up, and the moment he threw the basketball, he knew it was there.

Swish~

Sure enough, the basketball successfully drilled into the net and re-stretched the difference to three points.

Before the freshmen team could serve again, suddenly, Yusaku Ozawa made a gesture.

The next moment, regardless of the physical attrition, the senior players immediately entangled their respective opponents, and Danan ran to Yuzhu who was about to serve, constantly waving his arms to interfere.

The audience is pressing!

Full-court pressing is the implementation of man-to-man defense in the opponent's half, and it works well when the opponent's point guard is weak or has poor fitness.

No matter what position you are in, you have a very tight eye on one defense and one is equivalent to close defense, and it usually has a surprise effect when your own side is unfavorable.

This is an anti-guest tactic, but the full-court pressing tactic is very physically demanding, and it is generally not adopted until the last resort.

However, the Lingnan team has always been known for its physical strength and has the basic conditions to implement full-court pressing.

In addition to close defense, players also need to block the opponent's passing path as much as possible, and put pressure on the opponent to make mistakes in order to launch a fast break and score.

"Run, run for me, cover off the ball!"

Yuzhu hurriedly shouted, he knew very well the characteristics of the full-court pressing, as well as the way to crack it.

Since he doesn't have a strong point guard, Uzumi can only hope that his teammates can run out of space.

Under the command of Yuzumi, the teammates quickly ran.

It's just that they don't have a tacit understanding at all, and their cooperation is very rusty, and when the referee starts counting the seconds, they still don't run out of the gap.

In order to avoid serving violations, in desperation, Yuzhu made a passing feint, and then accurately smashed the ball at the feet of Danan's hometown.

The basketball bounced off and flew straight out of bounds.

This is a normal strategy.

Since the basketball is out of bounds when it touches the opponent's foot, the ball is still held by the team.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yuzhu chose to pause again, and quickly talked to his teammates, hoping that they could hold on temporarily.

Coach Taoka clasped his hands and looked at Uzumi with eyes full of appreciation.

Uozumi's performance far exceeded his expectations, giving him the impression that he was a leader and even had the ability to lay out tactics.

The game resumed, and Yuzhu once again held the basketball high, keeping a close eye on his teammates.

This time, while interfering with Yuzhu's serve, Danan was constantly on guard to avoid the repetition of Yuzhu's old tricks.

The teammates began to run and pull desperately, and even did off-ball cover.

Even if the cooperation between them was not tacit enough, they did not face the king of the mountain, and in the end, the passerby quarterback successfully ran out of the gap by covering without the ball.

Yuzumi immediately passed the ball, and the passerby quarterback successfully received the basketball.

But at the moment when he received the ball, three senior players immediately rushed towards him menacingly, and he was so frightened that he subconsciously squatted down and hugged the basketball.

In the scramble, the basketball stumbled out of the crotch of a senior player.

The nearest Ikegami grabbed the basketball and wanted to dribble across the half court.

Syllable~

Yusaku Ozawa has a quick eye and a handful of cuts on the basketball, but the basketball is grabbed by Yuzhu again, and seeing that Ou Nan's hometown and Inoue Toyosu are rushing towards him, he hurriedly passes the ball to the passerby small forward.

The passerby small forward was trying to hold the ball through half the court, but was blocked again and had to protect the ball.

Honk~

Without waiting for the passer-by small forward to pass the ball again, the referee's whistle blew, but it was an eight-second violation by his side.
