Qu Nan pointed at the referee's nose and said angrily: "Are you blowing a black whistle? Didn't you see him dribbling the ball a second time?"
The referee spit out the whistle and explained: "He didn't dribble the ball twice, and his left hand didn't touch the ball at all."
Qu Nan didn¡¯t believe it. He continued to roar at the referee. Xu Tian rushed over to stop him, but it was too late. The referee made a T-shaped gesture and gave Qu Nan a technical foul!
In just two rounds, Qu Nan received three fouls. In addition to one foul in the first half, the main center of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School has already committed four fouls and is only one step away from leaving the field. The head coach of Nanxi No. 4 Middle School had to replace him.
There were boos in the stands. The audience was too far away to see Lu Sen¡¯s actions clearly. Seeing Qu Nan arguing with the referee, they took it for granted that a misjudgment had occurred.
Lu Sen sighed. Although he had intended to get Qu Nan into foul trouble, the situation on the court now exceeded his expectations. In the following games, the referee was forced by the pressure of the audience, and the penalty scale would inevitably tilt towards Nanxi No. 4 Middle School. Huapu's intention to take advantage of the opportunity to expand its lead may be difficult to realize.
Sure enough, when Xu Tian counterattacked with the ball and forced a break through Yang Lin's defense, the referee immediately whistled Yang Lin for a blocking foul.
The balance whistle is a very common phenomenon in the refereeing of sports games. In order to take care of the emotions of one team's players and the audience, the referee sometimes has to favor the other team in subsequent games after blowing a foul on one team. In a situation like Huapu Middle School¡¯s visit and high-profile challenge to Nanxi No. 4 Middle School, it¡¯s not surprising that the referee favors the home team.
Huapu continued to have the advantage in the subsequent games, but the referee repeatedly made favorable calls against Nanxi No. 4 Middle School, which prevented the score from being opened. With three minutes left in the game, Huapu only led by two points. Lu Sen motioned to the sidelines and requested a timeout.
"Damn, this ball was so frustrating. When my layup hit No. 11, he was still moving, and the referee actually called me a hit!" Song Xuguang cursed angrily.
"Forget it, I just stood there without moving, and No. 7 bumped into me and gave me a blocking foul. I died unjustly!" Liang Tianjian said with a bitter face.
"Xiaosen, if the score can't be opened, this game will be very dangerous. If we are given a black whistle at the critical moment, the hard work of the entire game will be in vain." Yang Lin said worriedly.
"What method can score points without giving the referee a reason to blow the whistle? What method can prevent their offense without being called for a foul?" Lu Sen asked with a sad look on his face.
"We have many ways to avoid being called for fouls when attacking," Fang Bo reminded, "such as double back screens, such as quick transfer of three-pointers from the outside. As long as you don't break through, reduce physical contact, and complete the offense with shooting after catching the ball, The referee will not call a foul, but there is really no way to prevent a foul from being called."
Lu Sen lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "For the next offense, we will use double back cover, and the defense will change to a full-court press and man-to-man marking! Tianjian, you come with me and double-team Xuan Xing in the frontcourt. righteous."
Fang Bo's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "Maybe this is really possible. If we double-team Xuan Xingyi in the frontcourt and force him to pass the ball, there is a great chance that the ball will be handed over to the unguarded Wang Yan." , with his poor skills, we have a great chance of causing them to make mistakes."
"Everyone listen, whether you are attacking or defending, try to reduce physical contact with the opponent!" Lu Sen said.
*
After the timeout, Huapu followed the arrangement and played a double back-covering tactic. The ball carrier did not break through and there was no physical contact. As expected, the referee could no longer call Huapu an offensive foul. The situation on the defensive end was still not optimistic. Before halftime, Xuan Xingyi was double-teamed by Lu Sen and Liang Tianjian. He passed the ball, but the target of the pass was not Wang Yan in Huapu's plan. It was shooting guard Shao Kai, and his subsequent breakthrough caused Song Xuguang's blocking foul.
Lu Sen ran past Song Xuguang, patted him on the back, and whispered: "Follow closely, don't let him catch the ball!"
"He runs so fast, how could he not be allowed to catch the ball!" Song Xuguang protested.
"Try to keep up with the passing line at the near end and let Linzi intercept the far end!" Lu Sen said.
Nanxi No. 4 Middle School still hasn¡¯t found a way to crack Huapu¡¯s tactics. Usually Huapu only needs to run the tactics once, and opportunities will appear. Yang Lin and Song Xuguang made mid-range jumpers, which made Yixin want to help Nanxi No. 4 Middle School. The referee was at his wits' end.
With one and a half minutes left, Huapu finally caught the flaw in Nanxi No. 4 Middle School. Under the double-teaming of Lu Sen and Liang Tianjian, Xuan Xingyi wanted to pass the ball to Shao Kai, but Song Xuguang pounced in time. He came up and intercepted the passing route. In desperation, Xuan Xingyi threw the ball to Wang Yan. Lu Sen and Liang Tianjian immediately dropped Xuan Xing.?, and went straight towards Wang Yan. When Wang Yan saw this formation, he suddenly panicked and wanted to pass the ball to Xuan Xingyi, but Yang Lin waited for him and intercepted the ball.
Huapu finally achieved a four-point lead!
Nanxi No. 4 Middle School requested a timeout, and they deployed more players to come forward to break Huapu's frontcourt double-team. Although this trick worked, time waited for no one, and they could not break Huapu's offensive tactics. It was unable to stop Huapu from holding on to the advantage it had gained until the end. In the end, witnessed by hundreds of spectators, Huapu Middle School defeated Nanxi No. 4 Middle School and put the entire Nanxi City high school basketball community under its feet.
Perhaps because they were unhappy to see their team defeated, there were only sporadic applause when the players from Huapu Middle School left the field.
"There is no feeling of victory at all. Only now do I understand how important our dinosaur cheerleading team is." Yang Lin sighed.
"So go back and find a member of the cheerleading team to marry as soon as possible." Lu Sen joked.
"Go to hell!" Yang Lin laughed and cursed.
"Brother, can you sign your name for me?" came a timid voice.
Yang Lin turned around and found an eight-nine-year-old girl standing next to her. She had a round, rosy face and a pair of big, watery eyes. She was very cute. She held a notebook and a pen in her hands.
Yang Lin was immediately elated. Unexpectedly, someone asked him for an autograph. He said pleasantly, "Okay, brother, I will sign it for you right now."
"It's not you, it's him." The little girl shook her head and pointed at Lu Sen.
Yang Lin was deeply shocked and almost hit his head against the wall to death. He asked unwillingly: "Why are you looking for him? Am I not as handsome as him?"
"No, my mother said that men who are too handsome are unreliable." The little girl gave an answer that made Yang Lin dumbfounded.
Lu Sen resisted the urge to laugh wildly, took the notebook and pen from the little girl's hand, and asked, "Little sister, what is your name?"
"My name is Wen Jingyun, quiet Jing, kidney bean Yun." The little girl's voice was as sweet as an oriole.
Lu Sen nodded and signed the word "Lu Sen". He hesitated for a moment. Thinking that this was his first time signing someone's name, he added a line: "After defeating Nanxi No. 4 Middle School on January 21, 2002." Inscribed to Wen Jingyun as a souvenir."
Lu Sen's handwriting was not pretty. After signing, even he grinned bitterly when he read it, but the little girl was very happy. She picked up the book excitedly and ran towards a graceful young woman in the distance, mother and daughter. The man smiled and waved goodbye to Lu Sen and others.
"This is the first time I have signed an autograph for someone else." Lu Sen smiled happily.
"When will my virginity certificate be given away?" Yang Lin said depressedly.
Things are unpredictable, and no one expected that this was the only signature Lu Sen sent in China, and it was also the only Chinese signature.
When this little girl named Wen Jingyun grew up, she actually became a basketball game commentator. Her professional and humorous commentary, coupled with her sweet voice, broke the dominance of male commentators in one fell swoop and became a commentator. He is the basketball commentator with the most fans in China.
When Wen Jingyun was commentating on a game, she mentioned that she had watched a high school basketball game when she was a child. At that time, she was too young to understand it, but after the game she got an autograph from an older brother of the winning team, and she became a basketball player. A basketball commentator was also affected by this incident to some extent. Later, when she dug out the signed notebook from the bottom of the box, she found Lu Sen's name on it, which made her even more delighted.
After this matter was made public, Mr. Yuan Chezi, a well-known domestic anti-counterfeiting professional, raised questions and accused Wen Jingyun of making up lies to deceive fans. However, Lu Sen¡¯s former teammate, the famous CBA star Song Xuguang, stood up to testify for Wen Jingyun and confirmed that Lu Sen Sen did sign an autograph for a little girl after a game during a visit to Nanxi City. This caused an uproar among domestic fans. A wealthy fan offered to buy the autograph for 100,000 yuan, but Wen Jingyun refused without hesitation.
These are all things for later, so I won¡¯t mention them.
After Huapu Middle School defeated Nanxi No. 4 Middle School, they quietly started their return journey. After returning to Yunhai City, Lu Sen assigned each team member a holiday training task, and the team was disbanded on the spot.

As winter turns to spring and the new semester begins, the Yunhai High School Basketball League resumes. The thirty-two qualifying teams will compete in a brutal single-game elimination match based on the lottery results.
Huapu Middle School¡¯s first knockout opponent is Ocean Middle School from the port area. This team qualified as second in the group and its strength is mediocre. Facing such an opponent, Huapu Middle School retained its strength. In the 40-minute game, each main player only played eight minutes. The lineup on the field has always been one main player and four substitutes. Even thoughIn this way, Ocean Middle School couldn't resist. Guan Mengyue's breakthrough layup, Zuo Shixi and Miao Shunyuan's three-pointers showed their prowess. All three of them scored more than 20 points. In the end, Huapu Middle School won one A victory of more than 30 points.
In the second game, Huapu Middle School¡¯s opponent was Hong¡¯an Middle School in Tanghu District. They used all their main players and only played half of the game, which made the game lose suspense. The 20-point difference made the second half almost a garbage time. Lu Sen put on a full substitute lineup, and Hong'an Middle School could only catch up to 15 points. On the statistics table after the game, Yang Lin became the leading scorer in this game with 23 points. What is shocking is that this is only the data for half the game.
In the third game, each team went all out to attack the semi-finals, and Huapu Middle School finally ushered in their long-awaited old rival - Changning Middle School.
