"There is only so much information. Without everyone's technical characteristics, there is no way to arrange targeted tactics before the game. I'm afraid you will encounter a lot of trouble." Fang Bo said.
"What are you afraid of? It's not like we have never played a game without opponent intelligence." Yang Lin interrupted.
*
The captain of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School is a forward with a pockmarked face and short naturally curly hair. Yang Lin knew from the information that his name was Xu Tian, ??and like himself, he played the role of small forward. Xu Tian was slightly shorter than Yang Lin. He shook hands with Yang Lin with a smile and said: "Welcome to Nanxi City to compete and communicate. No matter what the result of today's game is, our friendship comes first, and the competition comes second."
Seeing that Xu Tian¡¯s attitude was very friendly, Yang Lin also echoed: ¡°We have long been known for the strength of your school team, and it is a great honor to compete with you.¡±
Lu Sen on the side hit a snag. Qu Nan, No. 5 from Nanxi No. 4 Middle School, was their center forward. He was a head taller than Lu Sen. He stretched out his hand to shake Lu Sen's face expressionlessly, and then touched his jersey again. Wiped on my shorts.
Lu Sen turned a blind eye to this obviously insulting move.
At this time, the main team of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School shouted loudly: "You are not No. 13! I should shake hands with your No. 13!"
"Here we go again!" Xu Tian said helplessly.
Everyone followed the sound and found Wang Yan, a member of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School who was wearing jersey No. 13, running towards the bench of Huapu Middle School. Wei Chao, who wanted to shake hands with him, was confused.
"Well, in his first game, the player on the other side who shook hands with him also wore the No. 13 jersey. I don't know how he grew up, but later he thought he had to shake hands with people with the same number." Xu Tian explained.
Wang Yan ran back and forth in front of the Huapu bench and said strangely: "Hey? Why doesn't your team have No. 13?"
Everyone in Huapu Middle School secretly cursed the "second-rate" in their hearts. Xu Tian hurried over and pulled Wang Yan away.
After the turmoil subsided, the game officially began. Qu Nan won the jump ball for Nanxi No. 4 Middle School and handed it to their point guard No. 7 Xuan Xingyi. Xuan Xingyi is a little guy with an unattractive appearance. According to the information, he is 1.7 meters tall, but Lu Sen feels that 1.7 meters is quite tall. This kid is only 1.65 meters tall at most.
After Xuan Xingyi brought the ball to the frontcourt, it was not called tactics. Facing Lu Sen's defense, he dribbled the ball behind his back twice in a row and started quickly. His speed was extremely fast, and Lu Sen could only stick to it from the side, trying to slow his progress.
Xuan Xingyi rushed to the free throw line with the ball and passed the ball to the bottom corner. The person who caught the ball was captain Xu Tian. He used a back turn to try to break through Yang Lin's defense. Yang Lin retreated in time to keep his defensive position. , but Xu Tian passed the ball to the other side. After receiving the ball, No. 11 Shao Kai also broke through with the ball
? Continuous breakthroughs finally disrupted Huapu's defense. Yang Lin stepped forward to defend Shao Kai and missed Xu Tian. He received the pass and succeeded in a long three-pointer.
The characteristics of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School are fully reflected in this attack, with fast speed, flexible play and accurate shooting! This kind of team's offense always makes people feel very smooth and gorgeous.
Lu Sen made a gesture and called for the third tactic. After receiving the ball, Wei Chao played singles to attract double teams, and passed the ball to Song Xuguang in the middle for a dunk.
The two teams started a tug-of-war. Nanxi No. 4 Middle School¡¯s continuous scoring tactics were very sharp, and they could always tear apart Huapu¡¯s defense, either directly breaking through for layups, or shooting from the outside; Huapu¡¯s offense was Winning by relying on changes, Lu Sen constantly adjusted his offensive tactics, making it difficult for Nanxi No. 4 Middle School to adapt.
The first half of the game was inextricably fought between the two sides and ended in a draw. During halftime, Lu Sen called Fang Bo aside and asked, "Have you seen their technical characteristics clearly? Tell me about their long-range shooting level."
"No. 4 Xu Tian made three of four three-pointers in the first half, with a high shooting percentage. His shooting posture was impeccable and stable, and he needs to be guarded closely; No. 7 Xuan Xingyi made one of two three-pointers in the first half. The posture is ugly, but very stable. The shooting speed is very fast, but the shooting point is very low. With your height advantage, you can take one step to defend and have time to block the shot; No. 11 Shao Kai made one of three three-pointers in the first half. However, his shooting posture is unstable, so his shooting percentage will be high and low." Fang Bo said.
Lu Sen pondered for a moment and then asked, "Do you still see any weaknesses in them?"
Fang Bo thought for a while and replied: "Their No. 13 Wang Yan has very rough skills and almost no offensive ability. I don't think it matters if I don't guard him. There is a height difference between Xuan Xingyi and you, so you shouldn't be able to fight him in singles." Disaster."
Lu Sen nodded, called the team members together, and arranged new tactics.
Nanxi No. 4 Middle School was even more noisy. Wang Yan laughed loudly and said, "Did you see that? I defended their No. 7 from even one shot! Tell me, am I an inside guard?"?? "
"If I'm not mistaken, their No. 7 is just like you, a defensive player. You should inspire him to take more shots!" Qu Nan said.
"That's right." Wang Yan said blankly.
"Pay attention, we changed our strategy in the second half," said the coach of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School. He is a typical Hainanese, very thin and dark-skinned. "The opponent's No. 7 is not strong in offensive ability. We can properly defend Let him go, Wang Yan, you don't have to worry about No. 7, just guard the penalty area, and cover whoever rushes in."

In the second half of the game, Huapu encountered difficulties in its first attack. When Yang Lin dribbled the ball toward the basket, Wang Yan let go of Liang Tianjian and, together with Xu Tian, ??formed a double-team on Yang Lin. Yang Lin was unable to defend in time, made a pass error, and was intercepted by Nan Xi.
Not long after the players of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School were proud, they also hit a wall on the offensive end. They just felt that no matter how they broke through, they could not disrupt Huapu's defense. They were as powerless as butterflies hitting a spider's web. They were dragged until The attack time was about to end before Shao Kai forced a shot and gave the ball to Huapu in vain.
They couldn't see how Huapu managed to make the defense watertight, but the coach of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School saw it clearly: "This is clearly a man-to-man one-three zone defense! How dare you use this kind of defense to restrict Aren't we afraid of us shooting three-pointers when we break through?"
Huapu's defense is indeed a one-three zone defense with one person marking each other. Yang Linpiao is outside the zone defense formation and is closely guarding Xu Tian, ??the captain of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School, without giving him a chance to catch the ball. One in front and three in back inside the three-point line, setting up a zone defense posture. Whenever a member of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School breaks through, the formation shrinks to form a double-team. Even if Nanxi No. 4 Middle School passes the ball from another direction, Even if you break through, you will still encounter double teams. As a result, their breakthrough and ball-breaking tactics will not work.
The offenses of both teams were in a quagmire, but Huapu came out one step ahead. Lu Sen cooperated with Yang Lin in the pick-and-roll at the top of the three-point arc. When Yang Lin moved to the basket, Lu Sen did not pass the ball as usual. Instead of passing it to him, he seized the opportunity and rushed towards the basket on the side Qu Nan was responsible for guarding.
Qu Nan was very disdainful when he saw that this defender, who was a head shorter than him, dared to forcefully attack his defense. He stood still and stared at Lu Sen's every move, preparing to give him a big hit.
When Lu Sen rushed to Qu Nan, he suddenly took a step back and opened a step away from him, ready to throw. Qu Nan was startled and hurriedly jumped over to block the shot. Unexpectedly, this move played into Lu Sen's hands. He did not shoot immediately. Instead, he waited until Qu Nan fell towards him before forcefully jumping up and holding his arm. Throwing the ball caused a foul on Qu Nan, but unfortunately he failed to make a shot.
The audience at the scene booed and expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's decision.
Lu Sen¡¯s free throw was a miss, and Huapu took a temporary lead.
¡°Shoot a three-pointer to break the zone defense!¡± Nanxi¡¯s coach shouted from the sidelines.
After this reminder, the players of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School discovered that their opponent was setting up a zone defense. They began to pass the ball quickly and looked for opportunities to shoot three-pointers. Only Xuan Xingyi and Shao Kai were left. After many twists and turns, Xuan Xingyi finally got a chance to shoot at the top of the arc. His shooting posture was a one-handed shot with his chest in front of his chest. Although it looked ugly, he had already practiced it to perfection and his shooting speed was extremely fast.
What he didn¡¯t expect was that Lu Sen was faster.
It was Lu Sen¡¯s deliberate decision to give Xuan Xingyi a chance to take action. He had been estimating the distance between the two. When Xuan Xingyi caught the ball and made a shot, Lu Sen also pounced on it. Even though Xuan Xingyi's shot was as fast as lightning, his shot was not high enough and the ball was still rubbed by Lu Sen's finger.
¡°Get the rebound!¡± Xuan Xingyi shouted.
"Look at me!" Wang Yan roared. His strength was slightly better. He blocked Liang Tianjian behind him, jumped up and grabbed the rebound in his hand. After landing, he jumped up again to shoot. This shot that was right in front of him was actually Jump over the hoop and fly to the other side.
People generally call this kind of shooting "crossing the bridge". The basket is the bridge and the ball passes over the bridge, which is quite vivid.
Yang Lin grabbed the rebound, glanced at Wang Yan pityingly, and threw the ball to Lu Sen.
Huapu¡¯s offense was simply a replica of the previous round. Lu Sen dribbled the ball towards Qu Nan after the pick-and-roll. This time Qu Nan was more vigilant. When he saw Lu Sen retreating, he quickly took a step forward to follow. When Lu Sen looked up at the rim, he stood calmly and raised his hands, thinking that he was not afraid of Lu Sen. Shooting, and can prevent his fake moves.
Who would have expected that Lu Sen didn¡¯t catch the ball at all! His retreat and raising his head were real, but the movement of raising the ball with his left hand was imaginary. Seeing Qu Nan stand still, Lu Sen flipped his wrist and rushed past the right side of Qu Nan's body with the ball.
Xiao Sen is about to take revenge on Qu Nan for his rudeness at the beginning. Yang Lin thought to himself.
Qu Nan thought Lu Sen already had the ball, but when he saw Lu Sen dribbling "again", he thought Lu Sen violated the rule of dribbling the second time. He was confused when he didn't hear the referee's whistle, turned around and tried to block the shot from behind. Lu Sen's layup, unfortunately, only hit Lu Sen's wrist and caused another foul.
Qu Nan angrily went to the referee and argued: "He dribbled the ball twice!"
The referee shook his head and indicated that Lu Sen did not violate the rules. Qu Nan became angry at that time, raised his finger and pointed at the referee's nose and said angrily: "Are you blowing a black whistle?"
