    Lu Sen's return rekindled Huapu's morale, and the haze of Yang Lin's sending off was wiped away. They believed that Lu Sen's return meant that Huapu was destined to win this contest.

    Huapu Middle School fielded a small lineup, led by Lu Sen, with Guan Mengyue, Miao Shunyuan, and Zuo Shixi, a total of four backcourt players. Only substitute power forward Li Yu remained in the post.

    Lu Sen originally planned to let Wei Chao come on to hold the inside line, but unfortunately the fat man's physical fitness had reached its limit. He was panting on the chair and refused to get up. Yang Jili's offensive ability was somewhat lacking and did not meet the needs at this time.  Lu Sen had no choice but to send Li Yu.

    "Cooked duck - you have a tough mouth. You are the only main force left, and you still want to make a comeback?" Yu Qingxuan deliberately stood on the sidelines and sarcastically said as Lu Sen passed by with the ball.

    Lu Sen turned a deaf ear. He and Miao Shunyuan cooperated in a pick-and-roll and broke through to the basket, while Miao Shunyuan went outside the three-point line.  Zijing Middle School's defense was quite satisfactory. Zhao Jian bypassed Miao Shunyuan and went to block Lu Sen's breakthrough. Chu Cangting under the basket was also moving to this side, ready to defend at any time. Pan Shuo continued to defend Miao Shunyuan.  The entire defensive setup looks flawless.

    Until Lu Sen suddenly pulled the ball back during the breakthrough and made a long step back.

    Zhao Jian rushed too hard and couldn't hold back. It was too late to come back and block Lu Sen. Chu Cangting was further away. At this time, the closest defensive player to Lu Sen was Pan Shuo behind him.

    Pan Shuo thinks this is a good opportunity.  Pounce from behind and block Lu Sen when he shoots, which will definitely catch him by surprise. Moreover, Lu Sen's height and bounce are not as good as his own, so the possibility of fouling the ball is unlikely.  Thinking of this, he took a quick step and rushed behind Lu Sen.

    Lu Sen suddenly flipped his wrist and passed the ball from his waist to behind him, just in time to miss Pan Shuo who was rushing towards him!

    "What a magical pass! It's like there are eyes behind my back!" Liao Zeyu from Changning Middle School exclaimed in the stands.

    "How did he judge the situation behind him? Could it be by sound? That's amazing!" On the other side of the stands, Wei Yiqian from Wenyuan Middle School sighed.

    Miao Shunyuan did not waste this exquisite pass. He hit the three-pointer steadily, narrowing the point difference to only one point.

    ¡°Don¡¯t panic, be patient and run tactics, we are still ahead!¡± Yu Qingxuan shouted on the sidelines to remind his players.

    "Will I give you a chance to be patient and tactical?" Lu Sen sneered as he ran past her.

    When Yu Qingxuan heard this, she felt a chill down her spine.

    "Everyone shout! Grab it!" Lu Sen raised his voice and shouted.

    The players of Huapu Middle School were like hungry wolves, howling and rushing towards their defensive targets, but this time they were not here to foul, but to press closely against their opponents!

    This is the defensive strategy Lu Sen formulated during the timeout to break Princeton's offense. He used fierce pressing to disrupt the offensive rhythm of Zijing Middle School and prevent them from passing the ball calmly.  When they have to pass the ball out hastily, Huapu Middle School has a great chance to steal the ball, which at least reduces the quality of their offense.

    This is not a weakness of the Princeton offense, but for many teams that play the Princeton offense, pressing is indeed an effective defensive strategy because it places higher demands on the quality of the offensive players - if the offensive players do not have  Without the ability to handle the ball calmly when being pressed, it is easy to make mistakes.

    Huapu Middle School¡¯s pressing strategy had an immediate effect. Lu Sen first forced Zhao Jian to pass the ball to Pan Shuo. Miao Shunyuan immediately followed Pan Shuo, creating physical confrontation without fouling, while constantly trying to get the ball.

    Pan Shuo is a little overwhelmed by this kind of defense. He feels that the basketball is like a hot potato. If he stays in his hands for a few more seconds, he will definitely make a mistake and be taken away by his opponent.  In desperation, he lobbed the ball to Chu Cangting. Unexpectedly, Guan Mengyue had been waiting aside for a long time. At this time, he suddenly rushed out, jumped up and snatched the ball from Chu Cangting.

    Huapu Middle School launched a fast break. Lu Sen, Miao Shunyuan, and Guan Mengyue worked together to pass the ball continuously during the rapid advancement. The opponents who returned to defend were at a loss. Finally, Miao Shunyuan scored a layup.

    With five minutes left in the game, Huapu Middle School finally overtook the score!

    When Lu Sen returned to defense, he ran past Yu Qingxuan and said something that annoyed her: "We don't want to make a comeback, it's you who want to make a comeback!"

    Yu Qingxuan's face turned ugly. Lu Sen's ridicule did not bother her. She was worried about two other problems: how to maintain her offensive rhythm under Huapu's pressing, and how to defend Huapu's attack.

    The timeout is only one minute. If you don¡¯t think of a countermeasure before calling a timeout, you will only waste the number of timeouts.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?When thinking about countermeasures, Huapu successfully defended Zijing Middle School's attack. Lu Sen used his breakthrough ball to organize the offense. Zuo Shixi caught and shot from outside the three-point line, widening the point difference to four points.

    It was then that Yu Qingxuan requested a timeout.

    "Xiao Sen, your method is really amazing. Zi Jing was completely stunned." Yang Lin praised.

    "If you hadn't led the team to close the score, I wouldn't have had the chance to use it, and your foul tactics played a big role. The players in Bauhinia are now very afraid of physical confrontation. We pounced on them, but before we got close, they  Panic." Lu Sen said.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how they will adjust this timeout.¡± Fang Bo handed the tactical board to Lu Sen.

    "They should" Lu Sen thought for a while and said, "They should strengthen their personal breakthroughs. Although pressing can put pressure on the players holding the ball, it is also easy to be broken because they are too close. If I were the coach of Zijing  , it will allow a player with strong ball control ability to dribble the ball to break through. Once the breakthrough is successful, there will be defense, there will be leaks, and the opportunity to pass will come out."

    "How should we respond?" Miao Shunyuan asked.

    Lu Sen pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "I'll have to ask our Fangda scout about this."

    "Ask me?" Fang Bo was confused.

    "Who in their team has a better breakthrough?" Lu Sen asked.

    "No. 11 Zhao Jian, No. 6 Pan Shuo." Fang Bo replied.

    Lu Sen clapped his hands and said, "That's it. When the ball is in the hands of these two people, the people responsible for defending them should not get too close, so as not to leave them with a chance to break through. When others hold the ball, press as usual!"

    Everyone suddenly realized.

    "We also need to prepare a big gift for them. Once successful, we don't have to worry about them breaking through." Lu Sen said and started drawing on the tactical board.

    After the timeout, Chu Cangting walked out of bounds to serve, only to find that Huapu had targeted all four of his teammates, and Li Yu was standing in front of him, blocking most of the passing angle.  Chu Cangting hurriedly waved to his teammates to step forward to catch the ball, but Huapu Middle School's defense followed closely and he had no chance to send the ball out.

    "No! How could this be! How could we block our serve at this time!" Yu Qingxuan was desperate. She did not consider that Lu Sen would make such an arrangement during the timeout, so she did not arrange her own serving tactics and was caught off guard.

    The referee¡¯s whistle sounded, Chu Cangting failed to serve the ball, and Zijing Middle School was sentenced to a 5-second violation!

    Lu Sen¡¯s gift to Zijing Middle School during the timeout made all Yu Qingxuan¡¯s offensive arrangements in vain!  He almost grabbed the ball without any blood!

    "Concentrate! Guard this goal!" Yu Qingxuan shouted. She knew that this goal was crucial. If Huapu scored and the point difference widened to 6 points, it would sow "continuous calls for timeout" in the hearts of the players.  It¡¯s useless¡±, Zijin Middle School is likely to lose morale and lose the game.

    ¡° Besides Yu Qingxuan, there are also Lu Sen who also know the importance of this goal.  When the referee called a 5-second violation, he decided to take charge of the offense himself.

    Lu Sen called a pick-and-roll tactic, and he used Zuo Shixi's screen to quickly rush to the basket.

    ¡°This kid¡¯s head is wrapped in white gauze, and he looks even more desperate than before.¡± Yang Lin commented.

    Yu Qingxuan was not in the mood to care about Lu Sen's gauze. She shouted to the team members: "Double-team him! Da Chu defends the basket!"

    She didn¡¯t need to remind him, Chu Cangting had already faced off with Lu Sen, who was rushing over.

    He got the ball!  Chu Cangting stared at Lu Sen's hand and thought to himself.  Once a player on a breakthrough gets the ball, he can basically no longer move, and has many fewer options, other than attacking the basket or passing the ball.  The pass can be ignored, and the defensive players only need to determine how the opponent will attack the basket.

    But Chu Cangting couldn't guess how Lu Sen would attack the basket. He had too many offensive methods - would he throw up or pull up a jump shot?  Is it a sideways hook, or a step-up pick after a fake move?  Maybe he'll decide how to attack based on the defender's movements?

    Chu Cangting hesitated for a moment, but still believed that Lu Sen's throw was very likely. After all, this is the most practical and effective technique for defenders to face off against tall centers, so he took a step forward and prepared to jump to block the shot.

    Lu Sen actually jumped up in front of him, turned around in the air, and happened to lean against Chu Cangting with his back.

    What is he going to do?  Chu Cangting couldn't understand it at all. The pressure from Lu Sen's back made it difficult for him to jump up. He could only raise his arms to avoid unnecessary fouls.

    Lu Sen's action surprised the audience - he turned his back to the basket and threw the ball upside down. The basketball flew over his head, past Chu Cangting's fingers, and quickly spun towards the basket.?!

    "What is this?! Are you blind?" In the stands, the wrinkles on Wei Yiqian's forehead deepened, and he was shocked by what he saw.

    "It turns out that basketball can still be played like this" Liao Zeyu couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

    "He is so bold! He dares to use this trick on such a crucial ball!" Yang Lin exclaimed.

    "Is this a throwback?" Fang Bo also saw Lu Sen use this move in practice. When the opponent's inside player adopts a late-jumping shot-blocking strategy, he jumps up first, turns around, and leans on the opponent with his back.  , prevent the opponent from taking off, and at the same time throw the ball backwards towards the hoop.  This move requires a very accurate feel for the position of the hoop, otherwise the flip-flop after turning around can only rely on luck.

    Fang Bo originally asked Lu Sen what the name of this move was, and Lu Sen half-jokingly named it "Throwing the Universe Upside Down" and explained in a serious way that Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, and the attacking team members are in the sky.  , with the defensive players on the ground, looks like a Bagua Tai Chi diagram, so it is called Qiankun Throw.  When Fang Bo heard that his explanation made sense, he really believed it. Later, Yang Lin pointed it out, and everyone often teased Fang Bo about it.

    In fact, this move is not Lu Sen's first. Several NBA stars represented by Michael Jordan and Manu Ginobili have also used this move, but they have other more reliable ways to attack the basket, so this  Risky moves are really rare.

    Yu Qingxuan rubbed her eyes, frowned, and looked up at the electronic scoreboard. The score difference was already 6 points. Only then did she believe that Lu Sen's shot had indeed gone in.

    what is this?  Throwing it in backwards is too shocking!
