Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although Huapu Middle School was nine points behind, their rest area was filled with laughter and joy. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that if this trend continues, what Lu Sen said about "tying the score with five minutes left in the game" is by no means unreasonable.  possible.

    "Team Yang, you did a great job! Didn't you see that when you made that 360-degree layup with a swivel in the air, the coach of Tieyi Middle School had a funny expression on his face, as if he saw you stealing their chicken."  Zuo Shixi's description made everyone burst into laughter.

    "These balls are just running back and forth. When are you two going to pass the ball to me?" Song Xuguang said with some dissatisfaction.

    Wei Chao was breathing heavily at the side. Although he was quite dissatisfied with running away, he had no energy to say anything more.

    Lu Sen glanced at the rest area of ??Tieyizhong. Compared with the lively atmosphere here in Huapu, it was much more depressing.  After thinking for a moment, Lu Sen said: "Tie Yizhong will definitely change their formation again. I guess they will pull Shi Ruike out of the formation to guard Lin Zi. In this way, we will be equivalent to dismantling half of their zone defense. Also  One thing is that with more than eight minutes left in the game, Tieyizhong has not paused, which means that no matter how bad the situation is, they have no chance to adjust."

    "What do you mean" Fang Bo asked curiously.

    "It's time to give Tie Yizhong a fatal blow." Lu Sen's eyes flashed with a cunning light, "Tie Yizhong's zone defense has been fragmented, but they will still insist on playing zone defense, and we actually have a tactic that is very suitable  Used to break zone defenses.¡±

    "Pick-and-roll?" Fang Bo said without hesitation. After saying the words, he overturned the conclusion himself: "No, it can't be a pick-and-roll. Could it be a run-and-gun?"

    Since the practice match with Changning Middle School, one of the few tactics Hua Pu has focused on practicing is run and gun, so it is not surprising that Fang Bo came up with this tactic.

    Lu Sen snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, it's the second tactic - run and gun. There is a shortcoming in zone defense. I wonder if you have noticed it. Even for a team like Tie Yizhong, which plays zone defense to perfection,  It still takes time for them to return to defense. If I can push the ball to the top of the arc when they just return to the three-point line, and you all fall into your respective shooting positions, then Tieyi Middle School will  If they are caught off guard, their zone defense will inevitably turn into a mess. The zone defense itself is not comprehensive enough to defend the perimeter, and the foothold is not stable. Our running and gunning three-point rain will beat them into pieces!"

    Fang Bo suddenly realized it and was full of praise for this method.

    *

    When they returned to the court, the players of Tieyizhong seemed to have calmed down and returned to the mentality at the beginning of the second half. Coach Yu¡¯s timeout saved the military morale that was on the verge of collapse and entered into the final decisive battle with Huapu.

    To Coach Yu¡¯s surprise, Huapu fielded a small lineup, including Lu Sen, Yang Lin, Song Xuguang, Miao Shunyuan, and Zuo Shixi. There was no inside player on the court!  What's even worse is that this team's momentum is far better than before the timeout!  If Huapu before the timeout had a momentum of not admitting defeat, then this team now has a posture of winning a big victory!

    Coach Yu¡¯s confident attitude just now was wiped away by Hua Pu¡¯s momentum, and he began to feel a little uneasy.

    Tie Yizhong's offense has changed. They constantly switch positions left and right, trying to give Hua Tanying and Shi Ruike a chance to catch the ball and attack.

    Since there are no inside players on the court in Huapu, the important task of guarding Hua Tanying falls on Yang Lin. He is tall, has long arms and can bounce well. In addition, his footsteps are faster than Liang Tianjian. Hua Tanying is even more defensive than Liang Tianjian.  Uncomfortable.  Zhu Yanfei was defended by Song Xuguang. Among the five people on the Huapu field, apart from Lu Sen, only Song Xuguang was strong enough to compete with Zhu Yanfei. Even so, he still struggled to defend.

    Huapu's biggest loophole is not the two players who defend the inside, but Zuo Shixi, who is opposite Shi Ruike. Although this first-year player is good at shooting three-pointers, he has a serious lack of defensive experience and limited strength.  Short of that, Shruike caught the ball and forced a layup, bringing the point difference back to ten points.

    The players of Tieyi Middle School had just returned to their own half, and before they could recover from the joy of scoring a goal, Huapu's offense was already following them.  Deng Shui chased Lu Sen in panic, shouting: "Quickly defend!"

    Lu Sen's guess was correct. During the timeout, coach Yu arranged a two-man triangle defense for Tieyi Middle School. That is, Deng Shui guarded Lu Sen, Shi Ruike guarded Yang Lin, and the other three people positioned themselves inside the three-point line.  A triangle array.  However, Huapu's attack came so fast that there was no time to set up the formation. Even Deng Shui, who was responsible for guarding Lu Sen, was broken through by Lu Sen with lightning speed. Shi Ruike, who was responsible for guarding Yang Lin, was also beaten.  Yang Lin took the opportunity to get rid of him, and the other three were fighting on their own. Some stepped forward to defend Lu Sen, who broke through, while others rushed outside the three-point line.When Zuo Shixi left, no one noticed Song Xuguang, who was rushing behind Lu Sen.

    Lu Sen smiled at Zhu Yanfei in front of him and threw the ball into the air above his head.  Song Xuguang rose into the air, caught the basketball, and flew toward the hoop from Zhu Yanfei's side.  His dunks were still so powerful that it seemed like the entire court was shaking with him on the rim.

    "Return to defense quickly! The three people inside should pay attention to assisting in defense!" Coach Yu shouted on the sidelines.

    Tie Yizhong soon discovered that Zhu Yanfei and Song Xuguang had an advantage in the matchup. After several consecutive passes, they handed the ball to the nearly two-meter-tall center. Although Song Xuguang tried his best to push him out of the paint,  However, after the confrontation, he was unable to make up for the more than ten centimeters height difference between the two, allowing Zhu Yanfei to force up and succeed in the shot.

    Huapu¡¯s offensive came even faster, and Tie Yizhong returned to defense as quickly as possible. When he returned to the three-point line, he was still being chased by Huapu.  The lineups of the two teams are different, which means that no matter how hard Tie Yizhong tries, at least one person will be left behind - Zhu Yanfei is a center after all, and it would be too difficult for him to compete with smaller players in terms of speed.

    This also means that one person in Huapu must be in an undefended state. Lu Sen's task is to find this person and pass the ball over.  Faced with Hua Tanying's blockage, he jumped up without fear and turned his body half a circle in the air. However, when he was halfway through, the basketball flew to the bottom corner behind him outside the three-point line.

    Miao Shunyuan caught the ball and shot, hitting a three-pointer, and the point difference was reduced to eight points!

    There was a burst of cheers from Huapu's bench, and Fang Bo laughed heartily and said: "I thought Lu Sen also wanted to imitate Yang Lin's 360-degree turn and layup. His physical fitness cannot afford this trick. Only after watching it did I understand.  It turned out to be fancy passing.¡±

    "Our team members are all excited. There is hope for this game!" Teacher Duan was also excited. He won the city's runner-up team. In the past, he could only think about it when dreaming, but he did not expect that he is now so far away from this great goal.  It's only one step away.

    In the next few rounds, the two sides scored each other. Tie Yizhong took advantage of the weakness of Huapu's lineup and handed the ball to Zhu Yanfei many times, allowing him to beat Song Xuguang. The success rate was really not low.  However, Huapu's offense was also unambiguous. Every time Lu Sen took advantage of Tie Yi Zhong's unsteady foothold to break into the interior, attract the defense, or pass to Song Xuguang for a dunk, or pass to unmarked three-point shooters on the outside.

    The two teams went back and forth. Because Huapu's three-pointers were all easy shots without being marked, the hit rate actually reached 60%. In comparison, although Tie Yizhong's hit rate was not low, because they were all  Two-pointers, the point difference narrowed one by one. With more than three minutes left, the score became 86-88, and Huapu Middle School was only two points behind!

    Coach Yu stood on the sidelines and was worried. There were no timeouts. Even a god-level coach could not do anything about this situation. He could only count on the players on the court to fulfill their potential and hold on to the last bit of the lead.

    At this time, the scene that decided the outcome of the game appeared.  Zhu Yanfei caught the ball at the waist of the penalty area on the left side, leaned his back against Song Xuguang, and hit inward. Song Xuguang tried his best but he took a step closer to the basket. Zhu Yanfei leaned his left shoulder against Song Xuguang's chest and turned to the middle.  Just a right-handed hook shot.

    After the ball is released, it spins and flies towards the hoop.  Suddenly, there was a loud shout: "Do you think I don't exist?!"

    I saw a slender arm appear from the side, and when the ball reached the height of the rim, it fanned the ball out.

    It¡¯s Yang Lin!  When he saw Zhu Yanfei turn to the middle, he waited for the opportunity and delivered a hearty and hearty big pot!

    The stadium was silent for a moment, and then there was a tsunami of cheers, which was drowned out by the coach's shouts of "get back on defense!"  Hua Pu quickly counterattacked amid the noisy shouts. Like a sprint in a 100-meter race, the five of them moved together and charged towards Tie Yizhong's defense zone.  Their play style was extremely concise. Lu Sen broke through to the free throw line and passed the ball behind his back, finding Zuo Shixi who was unguarded outside the far three-point line. The first-year player stabilized his body, took aim, and shot.  The movements are done in one go, even the rotation and flight arc of the basketball are so perfect.

    Zuo Shixi, a member of the team, usually likes to practice three-pointers the most. He has a strange habit that he has developed since junior high school. Every time he finishes playing, he has to make twenty more three-pointers before leaving.  It is said that at the beginning, because his throwing was not accurate, he had to throw the twenty balls until the moon hung on the branches. Naturally, he was severely scolded when he returned home, but he persisted in this habit.  Now, he often only needs twenty shots to complete these twenty three-pointers.

    It was precisely because of this advantage that Lu Sen selected him into the team and gave him more playing opportunities than some second-year players. Zuo Shixi lived up to his expectations and never showed mercy when shooting open three-pointers.  The hit rate is much higher than that of Yang Lin.

      The audience seemed to have experienced a dream that was both real and illusory. When the score difference was the largest in the second half, Huapu Middle School fell behind by 24 points. At that time, almost everyone thought that the outcome of the game was decided.  However, a miracle happened. With less than three minutes left in the game, Huapu Middle School overtook the score!
