zero second lore

Chapter 165 A Zeng Appears
The first half of the game continued, but the development of the game situation was completely beyond Gao Jing's expectations.

According to the arrangement before the match and the evaluation of the strength of Yuanpei Middle School, Gao Jing believes that the strength of Lizhong is still better than Yuanpei.

After all, apart from Yuanpei's first batch of players many years ago, Yuanpei Middle School has been unable to recruit outstanding basketball players because of the enrollment policy.

Because very few sports students want to serve in the army.

Looking at the player database of Yuanpei Middle School on the website of the Youth Basketball Development Office, it can be seen that the players on their team have basically not received formal basketball training in junior high school and elementary school, and they cannot be called qualified basketball players.

After today's game started, Gao Jing could also feel that Yuanpei Middle School's routine was similar to what was shown in the video. It was simplified on the offensive end, passing the ball as little as possible, attacking directly when there was a chance, and then throwing Hopes are pinned on the offensive rebounds.

On the defensive end, double-teaming, pressing, fast rotation, and the team's comprehensive protection of the backcourt rebounds are carried out almost regardless of physical exertion and loopholes.

To sum up, this is a team with primitive style of play, abundant physical fitness, almost hunger for rebounds, and not much technical and tactical offense.

In the county competition in the Yixing area, the opponent was abruptly consumed by Yuanpei Middle School's style of play.

They often maintained the lead in the first half or the previous time, but under Yuanpei Middle School's aggressive and extremely entangled style of play, they collapsed at the last moment.

Gao Jing believes that the way to break this style of play is very simple, that is, to pass the ball.

No matter how strong the human body is, no matter how fast the speed is, it will not be as fast as the ball.

As long as you keep passing the ball smoothly in the fast break and positional attack, it will not be Lizhong who gets tired in the end, but Yuanpei.

At the beginning of the game, Lizhong relied on Baiye's personal ability to establish a leading advantage.

His breakthrough throws, beautiful behind-the-back dribbles and three-man layups in fast breaks, and three-pointers ignoring defense all prove that he is far ahead of his opponents in terms of talent and strength.

However, when the game gradually deepened, Gao Jing discovered a problem, that is, Bai Ye's passing was always not timely enough. In training, his extremely accurate passing was compromised today.

Is it because Yuanpei's defense is too good?

Lu Yuan also discovered this problem. As the first game of the city competition, Lu Yuan also made a lot of preparations before the game.

For the first time since joining the basketball team, he began to memorize tactical charts, took Gao Jing's tactical charts and copied them, and learned the air-cutting routes above.

He even took notes and made some small notes on each route, marking the attention points of each route and what to do next when the movement fails.

But today, he made several successful air cuts, and Bai Ye's pass was not timely enough, or the pass was passed by the opponent's defense, and he had already lost the best opportunity to attack.

Either Bai Ye glanced at it, but finally chose to attack by himself.

Bai Ye's offense is indeed very strong, but when the opponent double-teams or even triple-teams, no matter how strong you are, you are only a high school student, and you can't beat four with two punches.

After scoring consecutively in the opening game and increasing the team's points, Lizhong's offensive success rate gradually began to decline.

On the contrary, Yuanpei Middle School became more and more courageous as they fought more and more. Their almost greedy grabbing of offensive rebounds gave them a second guarantee for their sloppy offense.

And the simplicity in offense allows them to devote more energy to the entanglement of defense.

When Bai Ye finally realized the problem and started to try to distribute the ball and create opportunities for his teammates, he realized that it was too late.

The offensive state must be established at the beginning of the game. Once the opponent's defense feels up, it will be very difficult to get rid of those nasty brown sugar.

Moreover, the players of Yuanpei Middle School are very united. Whenever the ball is dead, timeout, or free throw, five people on the field will gather in a circle to talk for a while, shout a slogan, and then rejoin the game.

That keeps their morale high, their intensity high and their rotations fast on defense.

From the beginning, Lizhong's biggest advantage was 7 points, and it gradually became 5 points, 3 points.

During a defense, Zhang Fan managed to snatch a rebound from the backcourt. Lu Yuan was already speeding up the court, but he made a pass error.

The ball was touched by the opponent's No. 6 forward and flew out of the sideline, but the No. 8 defender cleverly hit the ball back before it hit the ground and hit Li Yong's leg out of bounds.

Yuanpei Middle School's ball rights.

The players from Yuanpei Middle School used their vigilance and hard work to win them an offensive opportunity, and this time they seized this opportunity, relying on No. 8 player Xu Gang to hit a three-pointer!

For this goal, Wu Peng and Lu Yuan, who came off the bench, had a communication error in the defense. The two went to stare at the same person, and they missed No. 8 Xu Gang.

Xu Gang had nearly a second to aim, and then hit Yuanpei Middle School's first three-pointer of the game, which was also their first three-pointer.

At 29:29, Yuanpei Middle School evened the score!
Gao Jing called a timeout again. She had called a timeout before and replaced Wu Peng, hoping to stabilize the situation on the field.

But Wu Peng hasn't played a regular game for more than two months, and it's okay to play against the wind in the warm-up match. With such a sudden headwind, it is unrealistic to expect him to play a role as soon as he goes up.

The problem still lies with Bai Ye, the team's offensive core.

"Bai Ye, what's going on with you, the team's offense has been a mess so far, tell me what you think."

Gao Jing was really angry. In a life-and-death game, he either advances or goes home. Every attack and every defense is very important.

It's fine if the players don't feel good and can't make shots, but Bai Ye obviously didn't play according to the pre-match plan.

Too many individual offenses and the lack of timely conduction of the ball caused the entire Lizhong offense to fall into chaos.

Gao Jing seldom criticizes the players during the game, because she thinks it is too late to criticize after the game, so it is better to encourage the players to perform better.

But Bai Ye is different, he did perfectly in the training and warm-up matches, and he has been in good condition before. Apart from psychological problems, Gao Jing can't think of any other reason for Bai Ye to be like this.

Gao Jing couldn't help but think of Bai Ye's performance in the first half of the county competition, playing alone on the offensive end and sleepwalking on the defensive end.

Of course, Gao Jing knew that the reason for Bai Ye's abnormal performance at that time was mainly because of Lu Yuan.

But what happened today?It seems that this boy Bai Ye is excellent in all aspects of body and technique, but he has problems with his psychological quality. It would be great if he is as simple as Lu Yuan.

Facing Gao Jing's questioning, Bai Ye did not respond, but apologized.

In the past, Bai Ye was a person who never said sorry when he made a mistake. He would make up for it in action, but he would never bow his head in face.

Now he actually said sorry, which showed that he was really abnormal.

Gao Jing thought for a while, and said: "Bai Ye, I think you are a little tired and not in a good condition, you should go off and rest for a while."

Bai Ye hurriedly said: "Coach, I...I will fight well."

There was a rare pleading in Bai Ye's eyes, Gao Jing even thought, is this the same Bai Ye from before, what happened to him today.

But Gao Jing still said: "This is an order, and you should take a break after playing now. Zeng Hongzhi, do a little warm-up and get ready to play!"

Zeng Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Huh? Shall I play?"

Gao Jing said: "That's right, you go on stage and perform well."

So, Zeng Hongzhi took off his sportswear, pulled up the waistband of his trousers, and said, "Okay! I will work hard!"

At this time, the timeout is over, and the two sides have to return to the game.

Lu Yuan walked up to Bai Ye, looked at him, and said, "Ye Zi, come back early."

........................

Zeng Hongzhi walked onto the court with a full stomach. In the county competition, he was basically a garbage player who played in garbage time.

Originally, he was still thinking about how far he could walk holding Bai Ye and Lu Yuan's thighs, but he didn't expect to play at such a critical moment.

His first task after playing is to serve the sideline.

Zeng twirled the ball in his hands twice, and observed the positions of the players on the field.

Although Ah Zeng doesn't play much, he is not just waving towels and picking his nose off the court. He will observe the offensive and defensive tactics of both sides.

Yuanpei Middle School's defense focuses on double-teaming, rotation, and fast and fierce posting, so their defense line is relatively thin, with strong outside and weak inside.

There is no problem with Gao Jing's strategy before the game. As long as he passes the ball well, he can penetrate the hard and thin defense of Yuanpei Middle School.

Ah Zeng took three seconds to think, then pushed with both hands and threw the ball directly to the basket.

The ball spun fast and flew towards the basket. The fast spin made the trajectory of the ball very stable in the air. The players from Yuanpei Middle School all looked up at the ball, only to see that the ball penetrated their outside defense, and a player from Lizhong passed through. The reverse run inserted into Yuanpei's empty inside line.

It's Lu Yuan!
The ball was flying high and fast, and the Yuanpei Middle School players thought that Lu Yuan would jump up to catch the ball, and after landing, he would pick up again for a layup, and ran towards the basket.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan jumped up, so he didn't plan to come down again.

He jumped high, caught the ball in the air, and then used his poor left hand to pick the basket lightly and put the ball into the basket!
A beautiful alley-oop!

There was a burst of exclamation from the gymnasium. Even the old coach Wen Changming stared wide-eyed and said, "It bounces well, passes the ball well, and picks the basket well. This ball is really beautiful."

Although Lu Yuan didn't have an alley-oop dunk, because the distance of the ball was a bit far, the landing point was not suitable for dunking.

So Lu Yuan used a one-handed pick after catching the ball to complete this beautiful attack.

And to complete this kind of mid-air, you need to stay in the air very well. Lu Yuan's goal just now was like stopping in the air, and he completed the two actions of catching the ball and laying up.

No wonder the fans at the scene and the coaches and players of other teams were amazed.

However, after scoring the goal, Lu Yuan did not celebrate with Zeng Hongzhi, it was just an ordinary goal, just like an ordinary layup, it was two points.

Lu Yuan quickly returned to the backcourt to defend, while Zeng Hongzhi twisted his buttocks and crossed the half as quickly as possible.

In fact, Yuanpei Middle School's offense is not strong, they rely entirely on enthusiasm and superior endurance.In the positional attack, their success rate of scoring a goal is very low.

"Let me deal with No. 8." Lu Yuan said to Wu Peng.

No. 8 Xu Gang is the core player of Yuanpei Middle School. Although his ability is not outstanding, it seems that he is the only player in Yuanpei Middle School who has a relatively strong ability to attack independently.

Facing Lu Yuan, Xu Gang could feel the strong fighting spirit emanating from this handsome boy, and he hesitated for a while.

As a result, a hesitation gave Lu Yuan a chance. He suddenly went up to him and knocked the ball away from Xu Gang's hand.

However, Xu Gang did not give up easily, but went all out to grab the ball. Both hands hit the ball at the same time, and the ball flew out of the sideline and flew to the bench of Yuanpei Middle School.

Lu Yuan didn't know who hit the ball, he just rushed towards the ball to get it back.

The ball flew towards the head coach of Yuanpei Middle School, and Lu Yuan flew out with the ball!
"Oh!"

Holding the ball, Lu Yuan collided with the coach of Yuanpei Middle School. The two of them fell to the ground, knocking down the bench behind them.

Listening to this movement, the fall was not light.

Chen Jieru hurriedly ran to the bench of Yuanpei Middle School, and Bai Ye, who was originally sitting on the bench, also stood up, and he looked worriedly at the crowd opposite.According to the regulations, during the game, no matter what happens, the substitute players cannot leave the bench.

After a while, a figure stood up from the ground, scratched his head, patted his buttocks, and walked back to the field like a normal person.

Bai Ye squeezed her fist, and said to herself: "You idiot, don't you know that you have to lie still when you fall to the ground, and then get up after confirming that there is no problem."
