"Opponents who underestimate Lu Sen's offensive capabilities will pay a heavy price." Fang Bo commented.
"There's no way, Lu Sen hasn't made a shot so far. If I were his opponent, I would make the same choice if I didn't know him well." Miao Shunyuan defended Wei Yiqian.
Facing Wei Yiqian¡¯s defense, Lu Sen dribbled the ball behind his back and switched to dribbling the ball with his left hand to break through.
As both point guards, Wei Yiqian¡¯s intentions for Lu Sen are clear: Yang Lin cuts in from the right, and Lu Sen breaks to the left just to open up the space between him and Yang Lin, and then waits for an opportunity to pass the ball to Yang Lin.
I have seen through your thoughts a long time ago. Wei Yiqian thought to himself, ready to steal Lu Sen's pass at any time.
Lu Sen raised his head and glanced at Yang Lin. At the same time, he picked up the basketball with his left hand and moved it around his back. Wei Yiqian was overjoyed when he saw this, and thought to himself, you really passed the ball, even if it was a hidden behind-the-back pass, I was already prepared. He kicked the ground suddenly and pounced on the pass between Lu Sen and Yang Lin. line.
However, he did not throw the basketball.
Lu Sen sent the ball behind his back with his left hand, then pulled it back. He made an ordinary left-handed three-step layup and easily scored two points.
"Good goal!" the Huapu substitutes cheered. They suddenly found that the cheers were louder than expected. They glanced around and realized that at some point, some students from Chaoyang Middle School had also come to the sidelines to watch. During the game, Lu Sen's wonderful layup drew their applause.
¡°That¡¯s the streetball king Alston¡¯s signature move, a fake pass from behind for a layup!¡± Fang Bo explained.
¡°This move is really cool, I want to practice it when I go back.¡± Zuo Shixi said enviously.
At this time, Wenyuan Middle School requested a timeout.
Kong Xuan looked at Lu Sen. He couldn't understand why Lu Sen could see the tactics on the court as clearly as if he were on the court. Everyone knows that they don¡¯t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because they are in this mountain. This is the shortcoming of player-coach, because when you are on the court, you will inevitably be obsessed with the authorities.
But this Huapu No. 5 player could see the situation on the court better than himself, who was on the sidelines. Kong Xuan found it quite incredible.
Fortunately, Kong Xuan saw that Huapu Middle School was adopting a variant of the second and third zone defense formation, while Wenyuan Middle School was fully prepared to break the regional zone defense before the game, and immediately deployed offensive tactics to break the second and third zone defense.
After the game restarted, Wenyuan Middle School significantly strengthened its response to the players holding the ball, spreading shooters on the three-point line to break Huapu's zone defense. However, Huapu's defense changed again, making all Kong Xuan's arrangements in vain - they only left Yang Jili alone in the penalty area, and the other four became man-to-man defense.
This defensive method of strictly guarding against the perimeter made it very difficult for Zheng Jingtao to take shots from outside the three-point line. The three-point shot he reluctantly took missed a little and bounced out of the basket, giving a free shot to Yang Jili who was guarding the basket. rebound.
Kong Xuan pulled his hair irritably. As soon as he changed his formation, Huapu had already made targeted adjustments, which made him tired of coping. He felt like a boxer who was completely suppressed by his opponent. He could only defend with every move, but the opponent's moves were endless.
Huapu¡¯s counterattack was simple and quick. When Yang Lin rushed to the edge of the penalty area, he was stopped by Wenyuan¡¯s No. 10. Lu Sen passed the ball over, and Yang Lin leaned on No. 10, shot with a hook, and scored the ball.
At this time, the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, and Kong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. If this unfavorable situation continued for a few more minutes, the defeat of the game would be inevitable. Taking advantage of the intermission, he quickly adjusted his tactics and maybe made a comeback. Opportunity.
"The score in the first half was only 25 to 17. This is like a score in a primary school game. Playing against a slow-paced team like Wenyuan is really exhausting." Lu Sen looked at the scoreboard. , sighed.
"Compared with Wenyuan Middle School and Changning Middle School, who do you think is better?" Yang Lin came over and asked.
When the Huapu team members heard this question, they all pricked up their ears. This question concerned them a lot. If Wenyuan Middle School is better than Changning Middle School, it means that their training during this period has been very effective. This conclusion is enough to comfort them who have been hard-pressed. The training tasks tortured the nerves to the point of excruciating pain.
"Wenyuan Middle School's tactical literacy is slightly better than that of Changning Middle School, and they have a strong ability to control the rhythm of the game, but they don't have a super insider like Yan Jingda who is difficult to deal with. If these two teams compete, I feel Changning will win." Lu Sen said the review.
This conclusion disappointed everyone.
Lu Sen continued: "If we are still at the same level as when we played against Changning, this game will be a tie at most."
"We have practiced so hard during this period and have only improved our level by eight points?" Song Xuguang asked.
"Whether there are only eight points, we will know after the second half." Lu Sen glanced towards Wenyuan Middle School, and he guessed that Kong Xuan must have a headache now.
Kong Xuan really had a headache. He thought for a long time before finally making up his mind to use pick-and-roll tactics to break Huapu's defense. The players of Wenyuan Middle School no longer had the arrogance they had before the war. After half the game, they already understood that this year's Huapu Middle School team was very strong and it might be difficult to win this game.
"Lao Kong, we are already 8 points behind. Do you think we need to speed up the pace in the second half and get the points back as soon as possible?" Wei Yiqian, who has always been a man of few words, could no longer hold his temper and asked.
Kong Xuan pondered for a moment and sighed: "We can't speed up the pace. Huapu is obviously very adaptable to fast-paced offense and defense. If we get into their rhythm, the score will be even harder to catch. We must maintain the current rhythm. It's game time now." There is still a whole half, which is enough for us to recover the score, please!¡±
¡°It¡¯s only eight points, you can¡¯t beat me, Jie Jie!¡± Zheng Jingtao said with a strange smile.
Although the captain often laughs strangely for no reason, his unpleasant laughter at this time made the team members of Wenyuan Middle School feel a lot more at ease - the captain can still laugh, what are we worried about?
*
In the second half, Wenyuan Middle School gave the ball more to Zheng Jingtao, who has strong personal ability, and created opportunities for him to penetrate the inside through continuous pick-and-roll cooperation.
This cooperation did have an effect at first. Since Wenyuan Middle School placed its personnel on the outside, Huapu Middle School only left Yang Jili on the inside in order to defend the three-point line. After Zheng Jingtao broke through, facing Yang Jili's defense, he forced a layup against the opponent and scored the ball, showing his outstanding personal ability.
Lu Sen seemed to intend to counterattack Zheng Jingtao's attack. Song Xuguang caught the ball at the edge of the penalty area, suddenly turned around and shook off Zheng Jingtao, and also succeeded in a forced layup. Song Xuguang's physical fitness is not inferior to Zheng Jingtao. While occupying a favorable position, Zheng Jingtao is powerless against his layup.
When Wenyuan Middle School repeated its old tricks and resorted to pick-and-roll tactics again, Lu Sen made a gesture, and Huapu's defense suddenly changed. Yang Lin let go of the opposing No. 10 and double-teamed Zheng Jingtao with Song Xuguang. Come on, Zheng Jingtao didn't even break through to the inside, he even lost the space to dribble. He reluctantly passed the ball to No. 10, but No. 10's shot was slapped out of the sideline by Liang Tianjian, who was defending.
"He actually still has the energy to make up for the defense. He is truly worthy of being an Aegis." Miao Shunyuan said, remembering that he had faced off against Liang Tianjian in the semi-finals of the grade league when he was in the first grade. At that time, Class 9 defeated Liang Tianjian with its overall strength and cooperation. Class 5, but Miao Shunyuan was severely rewarded with several blocks by Liang Tianjian during the game, which makes Miao Shunyuan still have lingering fears.
"I sympathize with the No. 9 who is playing against Liang Tianjian. He hasn't even scored a point so far." Fang Bo pretended to be sad.
Liang Tianjian¡¯s block prevented Wenyuan Middle School from completing the offense within the time limit and was whistled for a thirty-second violation by the referee.
Unable to narrow the score difference to six points, the players of Wenyuan Middle School became nervous. If Huapu Middle School scored this attack, the score difference would have crossed that threshold. A ten-point difference would have passed in this slow-paced game. During the game, it will be like a chasm.
Lu Sen¡¯s approach made them even more nervous - he was dribbling the ball leisurely outside the three-point line, with no intention of attacking at a normal pace.
"Uncle Wei, how old are you? I suspect you are an over-age player." Lu Sen was stalling for time while irritating Wei Yiqian with trash talk.
Wei Yiqian pretended not to hear and said nothing.
"You shouldn't be a temporary foreign aid that Wenyuan Middle School hired from some university, right? But Wenyuan Middle School is too ignorant. Although you look very old, you must not have been playing for a long time, otherwise how could you play like this? Like a rookie?" Lu Sen didn't care whether Wei Yiqian refuted, he just kept throwing out trash talk.
After finishing speaking for a while, Lu Sen calculated that the time had passed for almost twenty seconds, and made a gesture to ask Yang Lin to step forward to cover for him.
Wenyuan Middle School¡¯s No. 10 immediately switched targets with Wei Yiqian to break Huapu¡¯s pick-and-roll tactics. However, after the switch, Wei Yiqian¡¯s height could not interfere much with Yang Lin¡¯s jump shot, and he scored two more points.
The point difference between the two teams finally expanded to ten points!
Kong Xuan requested a timeout. Lu Sen showed a relaxed smile. He knew that the victory of this game had basically been won by his side.
Kong Xuan took out a watch and took a look at it, frowning and said: "We don't have much time left. Hua Pu is now starting to delay us, but we must speed up the attack rhythm."
"It should have been like this a long time ago." Zheng Jingtao said. In his opinion, midfield timeIt is time for Xuan to decide to speed up the offensive rhythm to recover the score. For a slow-paced team, falling behind in the score is quite fatal. The players will become impatient, which will seriously affect the quality of the offense.
¡°If I hadn¡¯t run out of time, I would never have made such an arrangement. Speeding up the offensive tempo may allow us to score more points, but it may also speed up our defeat. Kong Xuan thought helplessly.
On the Huapu side, Lu Sen did not make too many arrangements. He only said one sentence to his teammates: "It's time to grab points, let's run and gun in a gorgeous way!"
