Volume 1 Chapter 221: Hard to Find

The Benevolence Academy, which had escaped the catastrophe, played even slower.

Ren Zhennan realized that the speed of Xiao Yu and Zhou Ran's counterattack should not be underestimated, if it was a sudden counterattack acceleration in the middle of the game, it would really be caught off guard.

He called for blocking, Du Lan is an All-Star if he doesn't take the ball, but he is a blue-collar player when he gets the ball, a very high-quality cover, that is, this one block, and the offensive opportunity will come out.

"Swap it out!"

Xiaoyu immediately asked Yu Gaoshuang to make up for Ren Zhennan, the advantage of a small lineup is that he can change his defense more confidently, Yu Gaoshuang's speed can barely keep up, it just so happens that Du Lan doesn't seem to have any offensive ability, as long as he doesn't let him easily cut in and catch the ball.

On the other side, Tomic was taking advantage of Wen Zhiyu's cover to catch the ball. Zhou Ran bypassed the cover and received the ball for Tomic, but the defensive position was not lost, and Tommic wanted to single him, and the difficulty would not be low.

Who knows, Tomic is just a hand-to-hand cover, Ren Zhennan finally got a chance this time, and his shot is also very decisive, even if his shooting rate in the game is only about 30%.

Miss!

Yu Gaoshuang and Du Lan jumped at the same time, no one of them had ever been stuck in the position, one thought that he could rely on the bounce to win, and the other thought that the height advantage was enough.

However, none of them grabbed it, and the basketball went out of the bottom line in their scramble.

The referee pointed to the opposite half of the court with a big hand.

Yu Gaoshuang snickered secretly, he felt that he touched the ball, but the referee gave the ball to the backcourt.

Du Lan had no opinion on the referee's decision, and hurriedly went back to his backcourt to defend.

Everything looked calm, both sides were looking for a feeling, played for more than three minutes, and the score was only 5:4.

Xingchen University scored two points each by Bai Youwei and Xiaoyu, and Yu Gaoshuang caused Du Lan to foul two free throws and hit one shot, and the defensive counterattack played smoothly, but it failed to quickly establish an advantage.

The four points of Renai Academy were scored by Zhang Bo and Wen Zhiyu, who both got opportunities through team blocking.

The much-anticipated Tommic did not move on to Zhou Ran's battle for the strongest quarterback, Tommic seemed to be just a very ordinary existence in the benevolent team, taking the ball and passing, helping his teammates cover, and doing a little bit of everything.

Only those who are familiar with Renai Academy know that under the leadership of Sun He, Renai Academy is not Tomic's one-man team.

Their individual abilities are not high, so they need the strength of the team to support them.

Tomic understands this and can sometimes win a game by himself for 40 minutes, but he can't guarantee that it will be the case in every game.

Seeing that the defensive counterattack did not play any advantage, Ding Yike rarely took the lead in calling a timeout.

Before the pause, Wei Xiao and Feng Kangjian were called up to warm up, there was no accident, and the transfer of this pause was to replace the two of them on the field and fight back to the positional battle.

Xiaoyu and Bai Youwei were replaced and fought at their own doorstep, Wei Xiao didn't expect to play so soon.

"Come on Wei Xiao!"

Vaguely, he heard someone shouting his name, still a girl. But looking at the dense stands, I didn't find the exact source of the sound.

Regardless of that, it's all about focusing on the game. He can't afford to lose face in front of the whole school.

Before the game, he specially reviewed the information of Renai's main point guard.

Ren Zhennan, who is 1.9 meters tall, is nothing to Xiaoyu, who is 3 cm shorter, but for Wei Xiao, who has just grown to 1.80 meters, it is a point that cannot be ignored in the confrontation.

This week, Wei Xiao looked at the system interface and found that his height had grown to 180, and it seemed that it was not in vain to work to earn money to supplement nutrition.

However, this is at most to have some psychological impact, when he controls the ball and faces Ren Zhennan, he still feels the disadvantage caused by the height gap.

Fortunately, Ren Zhennan does not have a difficult singles ability like Ling Zhan, and he only needs to follow closely to defend.

It's just that it might be a little bit harder offensively.

Height and speed can't compare to the other party, Wei Xiao can only wait for the opportunity and take him by surprise.

Liao Yufeng and Zhou Ran are both on the court, and no matter how Feng Kangjian is on the inside, or called blocking and dismantling, with the sticky ball control, Wei Xiao's options are rich enough.

I remember that Ding Yike said at the beginning that the focus of the attack was on the front line first, and she didn't say who to give more offense to, that is, this policy remains the same.

So it's right to give the ball to Liao Yufeng.

The person opposite Liao Yufeng has become No. 99 Dong Tian, Dong Tian opened his strong arms and stared at Liao Yufeng deadly.

Liao Yufeng was not in a hurry to consume physical strength in singles, he called Feng Kangjian to block and dismantle, Dong Tian chose to go around the back and let Liao Yufeng shoot.

He knows very well that Liao Yufeng is good at creating opportunities with breakthroughs, but the medium and long range is not particularly accurate.

Liao Yufeng knew that if he didn't threaten the long-range shot, the other party could keep putting it like this and shoot directly.

Hit!

It's a pity that this goal is not an assist for Wei Xiao.

The first time he defended against Liao Yufeng, he didn't prevent it, and Dong Tian was a little annoyed.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality, he knew that Liao Yufeng couldn't keep throwing like this, and he would definitely let Liao Yufeng taste the taste of being blocked by a single after that.

Renai College insisted on playing as a whole, and after two back and forth, Ren Zhennan discovered a loophole in Xingchen University. He called Du Lan to block and dismantle, and then burst out to start an accelerated breakthrough.

Wei Xiao knew that Feng Kangjian couldn't be replaced, but he didn't react at once and should go around the back to defend. I can only blame my lack of experience.

Ren Zhennan was able to tear apart the defense of Xingchen University, Yu Gaoshuang had to make up for the defense, and Wen Zhiyu got an easy chance to shoot.

Clang!

Wei Xiao was secretly glad that the goal was not scored, otherwise he would have carried this pot.

Although Feng Kangjian has not fully recovered, it is relatively easy to protect a backcourt rebound.

The ball was given to Wei Xiao to organize a positional battle, perhaps it was the last offensive finding that made Ren Zhennan feel that Wei Xiao, the substitute point guard, was not worth mentioning, he did not press it, but just held the three-point line.

Even if it is Xiaoyu, who is the starter, he is not worried about any problems with his defense at all.

Wei Xiao didn't want to be the point of being targeted by the opponent as soon as he came on the field, and be talked about by the crowd at home.

He didn't hesitate and pulled up his shot two steps behind the three-point line.

The audience who knew a little bit about basketball widened their eyes, and Ren Zhennan was even more shocked, but he was only surprised that Wei Xiao actually threw himself and didn't think that he could really get in.

Swish!

The unusually loud sound of basketball entering the net ignited the first wave of cheers on the scene.

Wei Xiao's unexpected three points made the audience pay attention to him.

"This kid."

"Why haven't you seen him before?"

"Newcomer, huh? It should be Long Yuyu's successor. ”

In the crowd, a skinny girl proudly introduced to the people around her: "His name is Wei Xiao, and he is a point guard. ”

Huang Zixuan was indeed very happy, she didn't expect the school team players she knew to be so good, and she scored a three-pointer with the ball alone.

It's just that Wei Xiao didn't even think of Tan Xin at the moment, and now as long as he plays, he will devote himself wholeheartedly.

He was indeed a little excited about this three-pointer, but he was already unwavering when he returned to the backcourt.

After all, he is already familiar with the activation of the power of the mamba.

For the first time, Renai Academy felt the pressure of playing away, with the exception of one person, and that was Tomyage.

Receiving the ball at a 45-degree angle, Tommic motioned for his teammates to pull away.

Zhou Ran instantly understood, and also signaled his teammates not to interfere.

"You are Zhou Ran."

Tommich is in no hurry to attack.

"You're Tommych."

Zhou Ran responded indifferently.

The corners of Tommy's mouth went up, and he didn't talk nonsense. The sound of the basketball landing sounded, and Zhou Ran immediately frowned.

In general, attacking with the ball, triple threats are the best way.

Because holding the ball with both hands to fake a throw or cross step and then rush forward, it is an opportunity to break through, and you can even take advantage of the opponent's inattention, use your own explosive power, and pass in one step.

Even if it doesn't work, you can continue to dribble and make moves, and you have a second chance to get rid of the defense.

However, Tommich didn't do that.

He started dribbling very casually, which was equivalent to wasting a chance to make a successful breakthrough.

Zhou Ran understands very well that this is Tomic's clear indication that it only takes one chance to score this goal.

Against opponents who may be stronger than himself, Zhou Ran does not need to have any reservations.

He wants to shock the opponent in the first fight, and if he doesn't do his best, the outcome is basically a failure.

Tommich used his high-frequency dribbling, deflected to the left and then turned with incredible speed.

However, Zhou Ran always clings to Tommych, which makes Tommych's movements obviously not as stretched as before.

Due to his long reach, he had to pay special attention to protecting the ball, and his center of gravity was pressed extremely low.

Step-back jumper.

Tommich doesn't plan to dwell on it, and for him, too many fancy maneuvers are a burden.

Zhou Ran used his excellent reaction to jump up in time to interfere and seal Tomyage's face.

If this can be entered, he admits it.

Clang!

The basketball popped up, and Feng Kangjian continued to guard the rebound, not letting Zhou Ran's successful defense be wasted.

Feng Kangjian did not give the ball to Liao Yufeng, but to Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao already feels that he is becoming more and more trusted by his teammates, and he also has a strong confidence to complete the task.

Ren Zhennan didn't dare to let Wei Xiao go again, he stepped forward and pressed step by step, as long as Wei Xiao made a move, he would have a block in his hand. Height is his absolute advantage against Wei Xiao.

Even if Wei Xiao is given a chance to shoot, Wei Xiao will not shoot again, and it is not yet the time to score three points. Using the sticky possession that he is constantly familiar with, he guards the ball while constantly observing the movement of his teammates and analysing which points are more likely to take chances.

You can't look up all the time, but it's a significant step forward.

"Give the ball!"

Zhou Ran's desire to ask for the ball was particularly strong, and he couldn't get rid of Tomyage, but he already wanted a good position.

Wei Xiao first made a fake pass in the direction of Liao Yufeng, and then sent a hit to the earth.

To be honest, he passed the ball a little weakly, after all, his passing ability had just reached 65.

Fortunately, the basketball went smoothly to Zhou Ran's hands, and then everyone was very conscious, Tomic couldn't play Zhou Ran alone just now, and now he wants to change to Zhou Ran's singles.

Turn around with the ball!

There was no nonsense, Zhou Ran might have launched an attack in less than a second after receiving the ball.

Tommich kept up at full speed and constantly applied confrontation, forcing Zhou Ran to make it difficult to accelerate twice.

But Zhou Ran slowed down first, and still found some space by taking advantage of the change in rhythm.

Accelerate again!

Tomyage had to passively follow, Zhou Ran took the initiative, and suddenly retreated, taking advantage of the situation to pull out his hand.

If you just rely on reaction to prevent it, Tommikey thinks he can't prevent it. So he predicted in advance that Zhou Ran might stop and get rid of it.

Although he was still half a step slower, Tommich still touched the basketball with his unreasonable reach. The audience may not be able to see it clearly, but the players on the field will see it clearly.

Because Tommic touched the ball, which hit the front of the basket and was ridiculously deflected.

With Du Lan's solid card position, the two forwards competed for rebounds at the same time, and benevolence protected the rebounds, and then it was Tomic's turn to attack.

The showdown of the strongest quarterbacks seems to have begun.

Tomic opted to receive the ball on the flank, this time with a three-threat move, but it still felt very casual, and after making an extremely realistic breakaway, he pulled straight away.

Zhou Ran only felt that he was being despised and used the bouncing force to explode, he was indeed almost deceived by Tomyage's feints, but this time the interference was only almost touching the basketball, almost sticking to Tomyage's cylinder, and he might be blown foul as long as he went a few centimeters further.

Still not entering!

This made the small cheering group who came to the bench and stands of the Benevolence Academy feel a sense of loss and unease.

The game played for more than 5 minutes and their team only scored 4 points.

Tomic started attacking on his own, but was denied two goals.

If even the No. 1 quarterback in South China is prevented from dying, then they won't have any hope.

Fortunately, Tomic's defense is also airtight. In the next few rounds, Tomic and Zhou Ran were mainly attacking, and Liao Yufeng didn't care about Ding Yike's arrangement, and generously gave up the ball to Zhou Ran to challenge Tomich.

The two shooting guards are no longer stuck in singles, and have also tried without the ball.

But neither could break through anyone's defense, and neither of them scored a point.

Halfway through the first half, the score came to 16-8, and Sun He finally called the first timeout.

Zhou Ran and Tomic were tied in the first round, Liao Yufeng scored 4 points, and Dong Tian's defense can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

If it continues like this, the score will be in double digits sooner or later, and it's time for Renai Academy to come up with a real team defense, so that Xingchen University can experience the feeling that it is difficult to find a point.
