The basketball was thrown into the air by the referee, and Bai Youwei, who was supposed to be the starter, was still sitting on the bench.

However, he was not disappointed because of this, but got a definite answer to the confusion he had been having.

Why does he obviously have the strength to play the main force and his scoring ability to rank in the top three, but Ding Yike has never let him enter the starting lineup immediately.

The biggest reason is that it is not necessary yet.

He can form an offensive trident with Liao Yufeng and Zhou Ran, but why can't Feng Kangjian and Xiaoyu become the third offensive point through a suitable tactical system?

It's just that the opponent he is currently encountering, Zhou Ran's one attack point can solve the problem, and Liao Yufeng doesn't even need to score much.

As for the bench lineup, Lu Bin is the mainstay, what about the others, Liu Yuanhang is the pitcher, Lu Minghui can only play a role at a specific time, Wei Xiao still needs time to adapt and grow, if Yu Gaoshuang, a blue-collar worker, is put on the bench, then the substitute of Xingchen University is really a bit insufficient.

It is impossible for Ding Yi to put the senior players who were originally the main players on the bench, so in order to improve the intensity of the rotation lineup, let him be a substitute, and the lineup on the court will be able to better maintain the scoring ability.

Another reason is that Ding Yi doesn't want to put the strongest lineup on the table so quickly.

The head coach of Shanmen University put on a different starting lineup from the intelligence explained by Ding Yike.

Perhaps it was in the quarterfinals that Shanmen University came up with their real starting five tigers.

Or maybe they changed their starting line-up specifically for this game.

In Feng Kangjian's absence, Xingchen University and Shanmen University played for more than six minutes in the opening game, with a score of 14:14, which was completely a five-five situation.

Shanmen's starting quarterback, wearing No. 24, was the only one in their team who didn't score, but under his defense, Zhou Ran shot 0 of 3.

Originally, Ding Yike said that the starting quarterback in Shanmen was Mu Zirui, who wore No. 3, he was a shooter who averaged 10 points per game, and made up for the firepower on the outside very well on the court.

No. 24 Zhuang Pengfei, who started in place of him, is obviously much better in terms of physical fitness, and he seems to be staring at Zhou Ran specifically.

After Shanmen's starters had him, they were completely different from the teams in the intelligence.

Ding's point of view is that Shanmen University is a team that is more inclined to technology, with a smart style, rather than focusing on physical confrontation like the Lingnan Sports Institute and Fuqing.

But looking at the current Shanmen University, the quarterback Zhuang Pengfei relied on his excellent physical fitness to temporarily prevent Zhou Ran, Ye Qi himself has a certain weight, and his strength is not bad, whether it is Xiao Hei or Yu Gaoshuang, he has an advantage.

Their frontcourt, small forward Lu Xing, is a typical beast-type forward. The physical fitness is better than Zhuang Pengfei.

He became a pioneer of Shanmen University at the beginning.

He even shot suddenly, scored 4 points in 2 of 3 shots, and did not fall behind at all against Liao Yufeng.

Power forward You Wenshi is a bit similar to Yu Gaoshuang, almost never holding the ball, relying on good athleticism, taking on the responsibility of protecting rebounds and assisting defense in the team, specializing in dirty work.

The difference is that You Wenshi not only helps to block and dismantle in the offense, but also knows how to find opportunities to cut in.

Both he and Ling Zhan scored points by cutting in, which made Shanmen's offense more diverse.

So the excitement of the game was much higher than the two games in the morning.

There were a lot more spectators in the afternoon than in the afternoon, and the competition venue made waves at the beginning.

In Feng Kangjian's absence, Xingchen University's style of play has become more mobile.

No one expected that among the opening 14 points, Yu Gaoshuang scored the most.

Yu Gaoshuang himself didn't expect that he just did a very ordinary block and dismantle with Liao Yufeng, and he got the opportunity to score points under the basket.

Equally surprising was Xiao Hei, who also scored points with a pick-and-roll cut, and also scored two points through mid-range shots, for a total of four points.

Maybe Ye Qi had been thinking about how to deal with Feng Kangjian before he came on the field, but when a thin and tall Xiao Hei came up, he felt inexplicable and didn't find the feeling of the game soon.

Zhou Ran didn't find his touch, Liao Yufeng stepped forward, he had two assists, and he connected the whole team all the time.

The opponent's beast Xiaoqian Lu Xing was menacing, and Liao Yufeng did not back down, when everyone else had no chance, he chose to play strongly, and hit two balls at close range to score 4 points.

Shanmen head coach Qu Zhiyi took the lead in calling a timeout and made rotation adjustments to the lineup.

Ding Yike also made a transfer, replacing Xiao Hei with Bai Youwei, and another substitution changed again, Lu Bin did not play as before, and was replaced by Duan Er.

This may be the pressure from the sponsorship of Duan Er Group, or maybe Duan Er actually has the ability to enter the rotation lineup, since Ding Yike uses Xiao Hei, then simply use one more newcomer, if these two freshmen can adapt to the rhythm of the college game as soon as possible, then the deeper bench depth is very important for the finals in the future.

Wei Xiao didn't understand why the opponent's head coach Qu Zhiyi called a timeout at first, and interrupted the wonderful offensive and defensive battle.

When the situation suddenly changed after the timeout, he realized that the time-out is not only used when the opponent plays to interrupt the game to take a breath, or to make substitution adjustments, but also a means to seize the opportunity.

Obviously, Qu Zhiyi arranged the main cut-in tactics during this timeout, Shanmen University continued to use cut-ins to score, Ye Qi's off-ball blocking created good opportunities for other people's cuts, and he himself began to exert his strength.

Xingchen didn't have the height of Xiao Hei on the inside, Ye Qi first carried Yu Gaoshuang to win an offensive rebound and score, and then broke through with the ball himself, scoring four points in a row.

Halfway through the first half, Ye Qi scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, playing the core of his team.

Substitute Daqian and original starting quarterback Mu Zirui both scored by cutting in, Mu Zirui also hit a three-pointer to show the true character of the shooter, Shanmen University took the lead to find the form, taking a 25-20 lead in the first 10 minutes.

Ling Zhan was still invisible, Xiaoyu took the lead in showing his sword, and after Zhou Ran was replaced, he carried the team's offensive banner.

Liao Yufeng is generally not so quick to really exert his strength, and takes on more organizational tasks, so Xiaoyu can be more hands-free to attack and score.

He first scored his first goal with a counterattack fast break, and then faced Ling Zhan's defense, broke through strongly to create a shooting foul, and played a momentum in this battle for first-class point guards in South China.

In addition, Bai Youwei won it through singles soon after he came on the court, and Xingchen University controlled the score difference in the range of 5 points.

Seeing that Shanmen University is gradually finding a rhythm, Ding Yike does not intend to let the players solve the problem by themselves, Liao Yufeng has this ability, but Feng Kangjian's accident may lead to a butterfly effect, she still does not hesitate to take a timeout.

"The opponent caught our man-to-man defense and wanted to take advantage of the cut, but we just need to pay attention to the inside defense."

Ding Yike coped calmly, she knew that Qu Zhiyi was a head coach who could not be underestimated, so it just so happened that she needed such an opponent to practice.

It's time to pause.

Wei Xiao stood up, he estimated that Ding Yike wanted to revitalize the bench in this game.

Xiao Hei became the starter, Duan Er got the opportunity to play in the first wave of rotation, and now he Wei Xiao also appeared early.

Zhou Ran and Xiao Hei returned to the game, replacing Liao Yufeng and Yu Gaoshuang, Wei Xiao replaced Xiao Yu, and Xingchen University replaced a new lineup.

After learning about the quarterfinals, Qu Zhiyi focused on studying the top four teams of Xingchen University.

Compared with Guangfeng and Southeast Institute of Technology, or the mysterious and mysterious Lingnan Sports Institute, which is known for its physical confrontation, meeting Xingchen University in the first round is an absolute sign for them.

If the best eaten, Xingchen University, can't be eaten, then they won't make any breakthrough in the quarterfinals.

In order to deal with Liao Yufeng and Zhou Ran of Xingchen University, Qu Zhiyi came up with a special lineup that was ready to be used to deal with Southeast Institute of Technology in advance.

To this end, he and Mu Zirui did some ideological work to persuade the fourth-grade shooter to willingly give up the starting position to Zhuang Pengfei, a junior.

Zhuang Pengfei decided early on to succeed Mu Zirui, and after Mu Zirui graduated, the starting quarterback was his.

So Qu Zhiyi gave Zhuang Pengfei his only place in the storm camp.

That's right, Zhou Ran had seen Zhuang Pengfei in the Storm Camp at that time, and they were in the same group of scoring guards, but he had no impression of Zhuang Pengfei at the bottom of the ranking.

But Qu Zhiyi felt that Zhuang Pengfei was fully capable of restricting Zhou Ran.

"Don't you go up in a hurry first, you can take a good look at it from the perspective of a bystander, what Zhou Ran's weaknesses are."

When Zhuang Pengfei saw that Zhou Ran was on the scene, he proposed to play, but Qu Zhiyi did not rush to send him to continue to stare at Zhou Ran, but reminded him.

Zhuang Pengfei is defending with all his might, and he can't rely on brute force alone. He needs to defeat Zhou Ran in order to have a chance to really restrain Zhou Ran.

Ou Zhiyi doesn't need Zhuang Pengfei to really lock Zhou Ran to death, he only needs to weaken Zhou Ran's scoring ability, which has become one of the important keys to the team's victory.

Zhou Ran and Bai Youwei, who were back on the field, glanced at each other, and both of them instantly understood what the other party meant.

Bai Youwei went to the high post to block and dismantle Zhou Ran, Zhou Ran accelerated the breakthrough and easily got rid of Mu Zirui, Shanmen's substitute power forward could only shrink to the inside line to prevent Zhou Ran from entering the inside line to easily score points.

Even in the face of the defense of the two, Zhou Ran has enough ability and confidence to do it by himself.

However, he made a light pass to the back and gave the basketball to Bai Youwei, who bounced to the outside.

Bai Youwei, who was completely empty, even had time to adjust and throw the ball slowly.

Regardless of whether the goal was scored or not, Ding Yike breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only because this is an important way for her to leave Liao Yufeng, Zhou Ran and Bai Youwei for secret training, but also because Zhou Ran was willing and quickly executed.
