zero second lore

Chapter 210 Trust
Dai Haoran never thought that his life in the Lizhong basketball team would be like this. It was better and worse than he imagined.

He never thought that this team could reach the semi-finals of the NHBA municipal competition. At first, he just thought that it would be nice to help the team win the county championship.

But he never thought that he would participate in the team's game as a substitute.In the first match against Chengnan in the County Tournament, after being injured by Zhai Yugang, Lu Yuan took his place as the team's starter.

When he returns from injury, Lu Yuan's starting position is already very secure.

Dai Haoran knew that no matter whether he was injured or not, Lu Yuan would replace him as the team's starter sooner or later. He had such a premonition when he saw him remove the ball stuck on the rim on the first day of school.

Dai Haoran is not jealous of Lu Yuan at all, since the moment he was defeated by Bai Ye at the beginning of school, all his pride has been lost.

He knows that there are differences and unfairness between people, especially in sports.

And Lu Yuan is so stupid and cute, no one would dislike him.

Therefore, Dai Haoran's biggest worry is that he is worried that he can't help the team, and sometimes he feels powerless.

Especially in the last game against Changshu Tigong, he met Liu Zhe, scored two points on him, and then couldn't play a role at all.

Liu Zhe and Dai Haoran's impression of him has long been blurred. At that time, he was an invincible existence on the basketball court of No. [-] Middle School. He has no impression of this opponent who left due to injury.

Unexpectedly, many years later, standing on the court, Dai Haoran found that his effect on the team was not as good as him. Liu Zhe played a good half of the game, but he was just a dispensable transition.

"Transition?"

Dai Haoran looked up at the scoreboard and timer. In the middle of the first half, Lizhong led by 7 points.

This is not a transitional stage, but a time for strength.

Dai Haoran dribbled the ball past half court. When he and Wu Peng were on the court at the same time, Gao Jing was more inclined to let Dai Haoran control the ball, because he was more capable of directly attacking with the ball.

But he didn't attack by himself, he saw Zhang Fan who was asking for the ball inside and hung the ball over.

Zhang Fan catches the ball and plays with his back. He squeezes away the defender and misses a small hook with his right hand. Ben Shi gets the backcourt rebound and starts to counterattack.

The core of Benshi's substitute is undoubtedly Luo Xudong, and Lizhong and Luo Xudong are facing off against Ren Zhaoliang.

Ren Zhaoliang knew Luo Xudong, but Luo Xudong didn't know Ren Zhaoliang, because Luo Xudong was well-known in the entire Changzhou area a few years ago.

Benshi Middle School once came to Licheng to play an invitational match, and the venue for the match was the large gymnasium of Beishan Middle School. At that time, Ren Zhaoliang was only in the second grade of junior high school, and he went to the gymnasium to watch the game.

In that game, Luo Xudong scored 40 points by himself and crippled his opponent by himself. Since then, Ren Zhaoliang has remembered the shooting guard from Benshi Middle School.

It's just that later, I didn't hear much about him. I didn't expect that he is now a substitute for Benshi Middle School, facing me on the court.

Luo Xudong didn't know this, he didn't know Ren Zhaoliang, and he had never played with Ren Zhaoliang, so on the first ball after playing, he tentatively tried to pass Ren Zhaoliang with speed.

Finding that Ren Zhaoliang's defensive steps were very good, and he didn't show any flaws, he passed the ball to his teammate and drilled inside.

Ren Zhaoliang followed Luo Xudong, watching Luo Xudong dodge twice near the three-second zone, and suddenly he ran to the outside line, then caught a pass from his teammate, and made a one-step catch and jump shot within the three-point line.

hit!

Luo Xudong made a beautiful C&S, hit a goal, and the score became 21:16.

Huang Ximing watched Luo Xudong's goal and applauded from the sidelines. Although Luo Xudong's knee was injured, his shooting was getting better and better.

Huang Ximing has crippled players, but crippling people is not his goal, his goal is to achieve results.

Therefore, Huang Ximing knows many outstanding sports medicine experts. He will take the initiative to take the injured players to treat them, and then continue to practice after healed.

After Luo Xudong's knee injury healed, he didn't stop training at all, but Luo Xudong was smart and changed his previous style of play that focused on breakthroughs. He practiced shooting crazily and developed a beautiful mid-range shot.

Moreover, his organization is also very good. In Benshi Middle School, he is a unique player and has won Huang Ximing's trust.

After Luo Xudong scored a goal, Lizhong's offense still missed. Wu Peng tried to shoot a three-pointer from the outside and missed. Qiu Tong grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Luo Xudong.

Luo Xudong passed halftime slowly, and then facing Ren Zhaoliang suddenly made a three-point shot, and the ball went into the net. At 21:19, Benshi Middle School suddenly closed the score.

Luo Xudong scored 5 points in a row. It seems that after he came on the field as a strong substitute, he played an immediate effect.

Dai Haoran was still in control of the ball. At this time, Ben Shi suddenly changed his defensive strategy and pressed the ball holder.

Only two points away, they have seen the hope of tying, and naturally began to increase their strength on the defensive end.

Dai Haoran was double-teamed and could only barely pass the ball. Wu Peng rushed forward to block the defender before barely receiving the ball.

Seeing that Benshi's defense was pressing outwards very hard, he took the ball hard to break through from the left, and then passed the ball to Zhang Fan who cut in the middle. Zhang Fan was double-teamed in the middle, and then passed the ball to the bottom line Ren Zhaoliang.

Ren Zhaoliang had a chance to shoot a jumper, but he hesitated for a while and didn't make the shot. At this time, the opponent's supplementary defense caught up.

Ren Zhaoliang could only pass the ball to Dai Haoran, and Dai Haoran got the ball. The attack time was running out, and Dai Haoran could only attack by himself.

He dribbles down to the baseline and pops up for a fadeaway jump shot, which is his best offensive technique.

However, the ball missed and hit the edge of the basket, which was a bit outrageously crooked. Qiu Tong got another backcourt rebound.

After landing, Dai Haoran glared at Ren Zhaoliang and said, "Why don't you vote!"

The two have not been against each other since junior high school, but now they are teammates, they still often target each other.

Ren Zhaoliang knew that he was ignorant, he had no confidence in his shooting just now, but Dai Haoran was still not happy when he said that, and replied: "You didn't make it either!"

At this time, Benshi Middle School had already launched a counterattack. Luo Xudong controlled the ball across the court, went straight to the basket from the middle, and then passed back to his teammates on the outside.

The teammate made a mid-range jumper after catching the ball. At 21:21, the two sides tied!
Huang Ximing finally felt elated off the court, and it seemed that the bench lineup he created was still very efficient.

"Cheer up, cheer up, it's all listless!"

As the captain, Wu Peng was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the field and couldn't help shouting.

It seems that when Bai Ye or Lu Yuan is not present, the others are not very good at playing, after all, these two guys are too strong.

Gao Jing called a timeout, and squandered the advantage established by the starting lineup in just 2 minutes, and the substitute players were a little downcast.

"Everyone's performance is not very good, but I don't think you will lose a point, right? After all, you who are on the court now are the main candidates in the previous plan."

Gao Jing did not choose to substitute, but spoke to the players on the field in a calm tone.

These words stunned a few people. After Gao Jing said this, they realized that it was true. The five players on the field should have been selected by the team.

If it weren't for the unexpected selection of freshmen, if there were no Bai Ye, Lu Yuan and Wang Yourong, the five of them would represent Lizhong in the NHBA as starters.

How could they behave so poorly?He couldn't even score a point, and he didn't do anything on the court for 2 minutes.Are they really that bad?
Lu Yuan and Bai Ye were ready to take off their tracksuits and play, but after hearing Gao Jing say this, they sat back on the bench.

"Guys, we have a second game tomorrow and a third game the day after tomorrow. There can only be five people on the field, but the whole team has 5 people, and I think everyone understands why. Just be on the field, please effort."

Gao Jing's voice was very flat, like encouragement and persuasion, and in the end she chose to trust the five substitutes on the field and continued to let them return to the field.

Gao Jing's thinking is different from Huang Ximing's. She thought that if the score was pulled from the bench, she would still ask the players to go all out to win the game.

She didn't want those kids to be burdened with "I lost the game because I didn't play well off the bench."

Gao Jing has already figured it out. A team must first have the belief that it must win before it can play with the strategies arranged for victory. Without this premise, all strategies are fake.

"Come on, boys, you are also the right choice in my heart."

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

After the timeout ended, the two sides returned to the same starting line. Huang Ximing didn't expect that Lizhong didn't make any substitutions, and still used the same substitute lineup just now.

Benshi Middle School's bench lineup was carefully trained by Huang Ximing, with Luo Xudong as the absolute core, and the others were all functional, and the others were only responsible for rebounding, defense, passing, and spot-up shooting.

In Huang Ximing's view, players without talent can just do these tasks in the team, and it is a waste to let them attack independently.

Huang Ximing's training is known for its volume and cruelty. Those players without talent are completely functionalized by him with a lot of physical training, defensive training and shooting training.

Of course, this did not prevent many players from being willing to play under Huang Ximing, and some parents of athletes sent their children to Huang Ximing's school instead.The reason is simple. The players he trained are needed by many basketball teams in domestic universities because they are solid and easy to use.

Because of this, Huang Ximing is very dependent on talented seedlings. Luo Xudong is half of them, but with his knees like this, his future sports career is almost like this.

The three of Tang Yiyang are different. Huang Ximing hopes to rely on them to make a career in high school basketball.

At this time, the game restarted, and Lizhong served the sideline ball.

Wu Peng pretended to catch the ball and attracted the attention of two defenders. Dai Haoran and Ren Zhaoliang made a crossover near the baseline. Then Zhang Fan stepped forward to cover. Dai Haoran completely got rid of the defender and slipped to the right corner.

It was completely empty, Zou Zhou made a long pass, and Dai Haoran caught the ball and shot it from outside the three-point line.

Dai Haoran has not shot a three-pointer in a game for a long time, but this time, he shot very firmly, because the bottom line has always been his shooting point, how come he forgot it in high school.

"Shh!"

A three-point hit, a very beautiful tactical coordination, each player has successfully completed the tactical task.

Looking back, the players in Lizhong had already seen through Ben Shi's substitute routine, that is, Luo Xudong played as the absolute core, so Ren Zhaoliang stuck to Luo Xudong just like Cowhide Candy, preventing him from playing the ball easily.

Benshi's other players are supposed to have good personal abilities, but snakes can't do without a leader. Without Luo Xudong's leadership, they will be confused in offense.

Ren Zhaoliang succeeded in stealing the ball, Lizhong launched a fast break, Zhang Fan made a quick pass from the middle, and received a pass from Wu Peng for a layup!

This is Lizhong's most familiar counterattack routine in the past, and it seems that it is not useless at all.

Next, Lizhong's substitute, who regained his sense of the game, steadily expanded the point difference and played well, firmly suppressing Benshi Middle School.

By the time the main players of the two sides played again, the score was 33:26. Lizhong still maintained a 7-point lead and completed their tasks brilliantly.

At this time, there are less than 5 minutes left before the end of the first half.

Gao Jing replaced Lu Yuan and Bai Ye on the stage. When they were about to enter the stage, Gao Jing and Bai Ye said: "Your task has not been completed yet, I will give you 5 minutes."

Bai Ye nodded, 5 minutes is more than enough.
