Chapter 208 Competitors

Of course, Lu Yuan's non-stick shooting is not a problem with his shoes, but his shooting is far from stable.In the last game, he had a pure touch explosion, and for the first time he had confidence in his shooting in the game, so he didn't matter how he shot.

This kind of state will not always exist. As soon as the feeling of playing has not yet started, the result of eagerness for success is to throw out three non-sticks.

But Lu Yuan's mentality is very good. Anyway, he has embarrassed him countless times on the basketball court, and it's not a big deal to make a three-point shot.

He quickly devoted himself to defense. According to Gao Jing's pre-match arrangement, Lu Yuan must help Wang Yourong defend the inside.

It's not that Gao Jing doesn't believe in Wang Yourong's ability to guard the inside, but that Wang Yourong doesn't have enough range to defend the inside. It's just that the opponent's center is a player with a range all over the three-point line.

The first match of Benshi Middle School was also a pick-and-roll. Lu Yining and Tang Yiyang picked and rolled from outside the three-point line. Tang Yiyang withdrew. Lu Yining passed the ball to Tang Yiyang.

"Boom!" The ball hit the front and missed, Lu Yuan rushed to the three-second zone to grab a rebound, but a person suddenly stood in front of him, leaning against Lu Yuan with his back, preventing Lu Yuan from jumping.

The ball naturally fell into this man's hands, but instead of laying up under the basket, he passed the ball out and returned it to Lu Yining's hands. Ben Shi had a second chance to attack.

The person who grabbed the offensive rebound from Lu Yuan was the starting power forward of Benshi Middle School, Qiu Tong. He was dark, hunched, and about 188 tall, shorter than Zou Zhou, very inconspicuous. .

But the unremarkable Qiu Tong is the rebounding leader in the Benshi Middle School team. It can be seen from the ball just now that he can grab rebounds by judging and positioning, not by bouncing.

Lizhong had to re-enter the defense. At this time, there was a loophole in Lizhong's defense. Yang Jianzhou had been running empty-handed. Pass the ball, catch the ball and turn over and hit a jumper.

Yang Jianzhou opened the scoring for Benshi, 2:0.

Lu Yuan looked at it, how could his jump shot be so smooth and free, the most important thing is to get in, why did he have a three-point shot?

Lu Yuan ran to the bottom line to serve, Bai Ye came over and said to Lu Yuan, "Don't think about the jump shot, your air cut, your running position, don't forget about the tactics."

As soon as Bai Ye reminded, Lu Yuan remembered that at the beginning of the game, what he was best at was actually cutting and running.

After practicing for more than two months, Lu Yuan has a relatively deep understanding of air cuts, back runs, coil cuts, and back cuts, and he no longer follows his feelings like before and ran around casually.

Gao Jing's positional offensive tactics designed for Lizhong are not complicated. They basically rely on 1-3-1 positions and 3-2 positions. However, after Wang Yourong started today, the team lost an insider in the positional battle For low post singles, it is more dependent on the empty-handed running of the backcourt players and the jumper in the baseline area.

Wu Peng still passed the ball to Bai Ye after halftime, and Bai Ye took the ball at the top of the arc. Wang Yourong stood at the horns, Zou Zhou and Wu Peng lined up on both sides.

Lu Yuan turned back on the baseline, then cut sideways, Wang Yourong stepped forward to cover, Bai Ye passed the ball to Wu Peng on the wing, Wu Peng then passed the ball from the side to Lu Yuan who cut to the basket.

Lu Yuan received the ball with a fake move to shake away the defender, and then made a backhand layup from the other side.

Lizhong played a tactic very well, and Lu Yuan took the lead to score for the team.

Benshi's players obviously didn't expect that Lizhong's tactical quality would be so good, and I didn't feel it in the previous games.

Off the court, Huang Ximing felt a little surprised. Lizhong's victory over Changshu Sports in the last game gave people the feeling that it was entirely dependent on the talent and luck of the two players.

Why did the tactic play so well at the beginning of the game today? It was a bit beyond his expectations.

Looking back, Huang Ximing found that Lizhong not only played well on the offensive end, but also played routines on the defensive end. In the second round, they even started to defend the zone defense!
In high school basketball, zone defense is relatively common, but not every team can use it.

The reason is very simple. It is not easy to use the joint defense, but once it is not used properly, the consequences will be very serious.

Zone defense seems to be that each player is responsible for an area, and it is enough to manage his own area, but in fact it requires a very good tacit understanding between players.

What is the approximate range of each person's area, when to contact each other, when to fight on their own, when to shrink, and when to let go, all need long-term adaptation.

The so-called joint defense and joint defense is to gather everyone's strength to jointly defend. If the joint defense cannot be done, it will be a mess, and it is impossible to fight independently.

Ordinary teams with average strength will not use zone defense. Maybe the defense on the field is a mess.

Unexpectedly, today Lizhong actually used zone defense at the beginning of the game.Huang Ximing didn't expect it, and neither did the players from Benshi Middle School. They were at a loss for a while.

The ball was guided outside for two laps, but Ben Shi couldn't find a breakthrough, and finally the ball returned to Lu Yining's hands. Lu Yining could only do it by himself, forcing a shot from outside the three-point line.

As a result, three non-sticks, the ball flew out of bounds.

Lu Yuan almost laughed out loud, this is a difficult brother, this XJ person even voted for three non-stick, haha, Lu Yuan's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Going back to the offensive end, Lu Yuan did not forget what Bai Ye said. Lizhong was in a 3-2 position. Lu Yuan suddenly ran back to the inside. 4. Lizhong used Lu Yuan's air cut to score two consecutive goals in the opening game.

Gao Jing discovered that as long as Lu Yuan's mind is not short-circuited on the offensive end, running tactics are quite reliable.

He is fast, bounces well, has a strong ability to finish at the basket, and has a clear mind, and has a good understanding with Bai Ye. He is really a good knife for cutting.

Conversely, Benshi still has no good way to face Lizhong's zone defense. To deal with the zone defense that he does not make mistakes, the best defense is to shoot the opponent to death from the outside.

But it seems that after the opening of Benshi Middle School, the touch of the three-pointer is not good. Tang Yiyang missed a three-pointer, and Lu Yining made a three-pointer. Now that the ball is in the hands of Yang Jianzhou, he dare not shoot outside .Three-point shooting is not his forte.

The ball was guided outside for three or four laps, and at the end of the 30-second attack time, the ball was in Hu Qingquan's hands. Hu Qingquan had to force a shot against Lu Yuan, but the ball failed to be thrown and was directly blocked by Lu Yuan.

The 30-second offensive violation caused a lot of exclamations at the scene. I didn't expect Lizhong to be able to prevent an offensive violation from Benshi Middle School.

In NHBA games, each offensive time is 30 seconds, which is ample. The number of offensive violations is not too many. Benshi is not a weak team, and there are many strong offensive players in the team, and they were actually defended against a violation. It's really rare.

Huang Ximing applauded vigorously on the sidelines to encourage the players, but he was a little worried in his heart. It seemed that Lizhong's strength was somewhat different from what he had expected.

Before the start of the city competition, Huang Ximing always regarded Changshu Tigong as the number one opponent. The players were also symmetrical with Changshu Tigong in terms of structure. Tang Yiyang played against Fang Qiang, Yang Jianzhou played against Liu Miao, and Lu Yining played against Yuan Ye.

Huang Ximing thinks that the talent of the Benshi trio is no worse than that of Changshu Tigong, and he has made great efforts to build a bench for Benshi Middle School, so that he can rely on the bench to gain an advantage when fighting against Changshu Tigong.

Unexpectedly, the mighty Changshu gymnastics fell at the feet of the little-known Lizhong, Huang Ximing was naturally overjoyed.

He believes that Lizhong's elimination of Changshu Tigong has an element of luck, but when it comes to the semi-finals, their luck will not be so good.

But in the first two rounds, it seemed that Lizhong's victory was not due to luck.

Just as Huang Ximing was thinking, Bai Ye took the ball and organized an attack at a high position. This time, Benshi Middle School watched Lu Yuan very closely and did not give him a chance to slip through the back door.

But this time Bai Ye played in person. He passed the ball to Wu Peng on the side, then went down to the right at a 45-degree low position to ask for the ball, and then Wu Peng passed the ball to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye caught the ball and hit Yang Jianzhou with his back, relying on his strength to push Yang Jianzhou away, then turned around and hit a small throw from the baseline.

Beautiful low back hit, produced by White Leaf.

6:2, Lizhong opened up the score a little bit.

However, Ben Shi still had no choice but to face Lizhong's zone defense. This time Lu Yining chose to break through forcefully, but was caught by Wu Peng and Lu Yuan's close-door attack, and the ball was taken away by the quick-handed Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan bent down to pick up the ball and ran all the way to fast break. Yang Jianzhou chased after him. He did not lose to Lu Yuan in terms of speed.

However, Lu Yuan seemed to slow down a little on purpose. When Yang Jianzhou ran in front of him, he rushed to the basket at a high speed, then avoided Yang Jianzhou's block in the air, and made a layup.

8:2!Lizhong led 8:2 in the opening game!

This small offensive shock wave in the opening game was beyond everyone's expectations. Even the players in Lizhong did not expect that they could quickly establish an advantage in the opening game.

After scoring the goal, Lu Yuan and Bai Ye clapped hands. The two dominated Lizhong's offense at the beginning and helped the team take the lead.

Huang Ximing had to call a timeout. The opening situation was beyond his expectations. Obviously, he misjudged Lizhong's strength and tactics, and he had to make timely adjustments.

"Everyone has done a good job in offense and defense, and we must continue to maintain it! Don't relax!"

During the timeout, Gao Jing reminded the players on the bench to concentrate and stay vigilant, but in Gao Jing's mind, an idea slowly emerged.

Perhaps Lizhong is already on an equal footing with Benshi Middle School in terms of strength. They have already defeated Changshu Tigong, perhaps relying on a little bit of luck, but relying more on strength.

This group of kids is growing rapidly and making rapid progress. In fact, the opening zone defense was practiced only last week, and they have already defended well.

Bai Ye is becoming more and more like a leader, Lu Yuan's skills are getting more and more proficient, Wang Yourong is gradually overcoming psychological problems, Zou Zhou, Wu Peng, Zhang Fan are fighting for their last chance, and there are substitutes, each of them They are always ready to contribute to the team.

They're not Under-Dog anymore, they're real competitors.

"The game has just started, so don't think too much. Next, we will stick to the zone defense on the defensive end and make changes until they succeed in attacking. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"
