zero second lore

Chapter 265 Better Than Me
After the start of the second half of the game, Xuhui Mofan tried to get the game back on track, return to their familiar rhythm of the game, and use the inside advantage to regain the initiative.

But there is no going back.

Lizhong has already got a feeling on the offensive end, especially their long-range shooting.

On the contrary, Lu Yuan, who made five three-pointers in the first half, stopped shooting from outside the three-point line, started to cut and walk again, and used breakthroughs to continuously tear apart the opponent's defense.

Lu Yuan's breakthrough was easier than in the first half, because the opponent didn't dare to shrink anymore, didn't dare to let him take another two steps, and didn't dare to double-team easily, Lu Yuan played like a fish in water.

In the first 5 minutes of the second half, Lizhong's offensive success rate was astonishingly high. The strong defense line that Xuhui was proud of was completely defeated by Lizhong's shots.Not only did the twin towers in the interior not work, but because of their slow movement and insufficient defensive coverage, they were exhausted near the three-point line.

Wang Shun and his elder brother Wang Yao, who had regrouped, wanted to take advantage of the inside line to continue to fight hard, but Wang Yourong was not so easy to deal with. Wang Yao, the pearl tower, lost its light today. In the first half, he let his younger brother give way too much. As a result, I didn't show my state, and more than once those close layups and shots missed slightly.

Wang Shun is still in good condition, but obviously he can't drive the team's offense like his brother. Some of his strong attacks are just a drop in the bucket in terms of the team's overall situation. .

The turning point of the game came in the 8th minute of the second half. The score between the two sides was 68:57. Lizhong still led Xuhui Mofan by 11 points. Xuhui Mofan played more and more anxiously, and they still couldn't get the score back to within 10 points.

The lead in the first half was overtaken, and the lag in the second half was not enough to catch up. This feeling will not be easy for anyone.

And it's all because of the three-pointer.

Therefore, Xuhui Mofan also began to try to shoot three-pointers. After Wang Jian called a timeout, Xuhui Mofan changed his tactics and replaced Wang Yao who was not in good condition. With Wang Shun as the only high point on the field, he played the same game Starting from one big and four small, strive for the point of 10 minutes in the second half, and close the score as soon as possible.

As a result, the timeout ended and Xu Hui modeled his first offense. Wang Yu received Wang Shun's point ball from the outside, made a three-pointer, and hit the iron... Wang Yourong caught the backcourt rebound and made a long pass to the frontcourt. Lu Yuan caught the ball and went straight to the basket. Success, 70:57.

Then, Wang Yu didn't believe in evil, Gao Wei and Wang Shun completed the pick-and-roll, and Wu Peng, who was defending him, gave up on him directly to make up for Wang Shun who was going down. Wang Yu aimed at the front for two seconds, shot a three-pointer, and missed... Wang Yourong got another backcourt rebound and made another long pass. Bai Ye caught the ball and passed it to Lu Yuan who followed behind. Lu Yuan caught the ball and went straight to the free throw line for a dunk! 72:57.

Wang Jian felt that something was wrong, and he didn't even have time to turn over the small book, and shouted at the field: "Success rate, hit the inside! Don't shoot!"

But Wang Yu couldn't hear his father's words anymore, and now he was full of thoughts about throwing in a three-pointer to make up for his mistakes.

In the end, Wu Peng let him go three steps away!Looking at him with his hips crossed, Wang Yu didn't get angry, and directly shot a three-pointer!
Wang Jian's heart was broken off the court. During the timeout, he said that the whole team had a chance to shoot more three-pointers. Wang Yu did have a chance, but could he score if given the chance?
"Boom!"

The ball hit the front of the basket again. Three-pointers were not Wang Yu's strong point at all. This time Wang Shun fought hard for the rebound, but the rebound of the three-pointer collapsed too far. Wu Peng turned around and gave the rebound to Picked it up.

Then I saw that Lu Yuan ran to the frontcourt again, with a long pass, the ball was in Lu Yuan's hands again.

Ma Qiaoping couldn't hold back Lu Yuan, who couldn't hold back the speed. He rushed directly to the basket and scored a layup, which also caused Ma Qiaoping's foul. 74:57, the point difference came to 17 points, and Xuhui's model was about to collapse. .

With Lu Yuan making an additional free throw, the point difference between the two sides reached the game's biggest 18 points, and Wang Jian called another timeout.

This is a situation that Xu Hui Mofan has never encountered this season. Along the way, all opponents have been suppressed by their insiders and their outsiders have been locked up. Then they used offensive rebounds and the final double-tower low-post attack to solve the problem.

But this time, Lu Yuan's god-like three-pointer completely disrupted the rhythm of Xu Hui's exemplary game, and with three consecutive fast breaks, they were about to be sunk.

"Three points for success and three points for failure. In the future, we must guard against three points and not shoot randomly."

Wang Jian still does not forget to record in his own notebook, he is not a quick-witted coach, he can achieve today's achievements, relying on hard work and continuous accumulation.

Lizhong's performance today taught him a good lesson, from the beginning to the end, he didn't find a way to deal with it.

Wang Yao, on the other hand, seemed a little frustrated. He thought that his younger brother could perform well today. He made a background board once, but he didn’t know that he became the background board of Lizhong. He could feel that because of the lack of performance in the first half, he couldn’t find it to the offensive state.

Wang Shun was even more depressed. During the timeout, he and his younger brother Wang Yu quarreled again.

"What are you betting on? What are you betting on? Can you get in? You've wasted your chances! You're a no-brainer." Wang Shun was obviously very dissatisfied with Wang Yu.

Wang Yu retorted: "How do you know I can't make it? I'm going to make it?"

"You shoot ass, you shoot, your garbage shot, if you don't make three steps, if I were you, I would crash my head on the basket."

"You shoot if you have the ability! I will pass the ball to you later! You have the ability to shoot in!"

"I'm not happy to vote, I vote for whatever I vote for."

The two quarreled over the issue of shooting three-pointers, and Wang Jian told them to shut up, so they remained silent.

However, when Wang Shun and Wang Yu quarreled, Xu Hui's model players felt that they got used to it. The two had been very friendly in the first half, but they were not used to it.

In the last 10 minutes, Xu Hui started to catch up, and Wang Yao became the core of the team's offense again. Wang Yu and Wang Shun had only quarreled, and they seemed to have returned to normal.

Unfortunately, time is running out, the gap of 18 points is too huge, unless Lizhong makes a serious mistake, it is really difficult to recover.

Gao Jing always put Wu Peng on the field and let Wu Peng control the rhythm. Wu Peng completed his task excellently. He made no mistakes or impatience in the final period, and firmly controlled the rhythm of the game in his own hands.

In the end, the double-handed score was fixed at 89:80, and finally Wu Peng handed the ball to Lu Yuan. He held the ball and watched the timer run out, the buzzer sounded, and the game was over.

In this game, Lu Yuan scored 30 points alone, and scored five three-pointers in the first half, making his best performance in this Eastern China competition.

At the end of the game, the whole team rushed forward, picked up Lu Yuan and threw him into the air, and then a group of people carried Lu Yuan into the locker room like little monsters carrying Tang Seng, and the whole team began to celebrate the victory crazily.

An unexpected counterattack, a hearty victory, after this game, no one calls Lizhong a dark horse anymore, they are already a real strong team.

"I want to eat roast duck tonight!"

Lu Yuan clamored in the locker room that he wanted to eat roast duck at night. Today he was the number one contributor to the victory, and everyone followed him. It seemed that there must be another big meal tonight.

At this time, the outside of the locker room was already packed with reporters and media people. Lizhong defeated Xuhui Mofan to win the first place in the eighth group and successfully entered the knockout round. It will definitely be the number one news of this East China competition.

They were all waiting for the interview. When the Lizhong players came out of the locker room, these reporters rushed forward, surrounded the players with microphones and cameras.

The players in Lizhong had never seen such a formation before, and they were all startled. Wang Yourong's eyes widened in fright, and he "glared" at the reporters, making them take two steps back in fright.

However, their real target was Lu Yuan. There was already a petite female reporter who got in front of Lu Yuan. Her interview tool was a recording pen in her hand. She asked Lu Yuan, "I am a reporter from Shanghai Sports Weekly. Okay, you are Lu Yuan, right? You performed well today, congratulations on winning the game, do you have any special thoughts about this?"

Lu Yuan had never been interviewed by a reporter. When he saw the recorder, he felt a little confused and said, "Um, I want to eat roast duck."

Lu Yuan's answer stunned the reporter, what do you think?Then he asked again: "Then what are your expectations for the next game? You have entered the knockout round. It should be the first time in the history of the school team?"

"This... you can ask my manager..." After saying that, Lu Yuan avoided the reporter and ran away with his teammates.

The female reporter stood there thinking, this guy already has an agent?

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

Of course Lu Yuan didn't have a manager, he was just talking nonsense, in order to get rid of it earlier, he went to eat roast duck.

In the evening, he got his wish. Bai Duo invited the whole Lizhong team to have a meal at the old BJ Roast Duck Restaurant. Lu Yuan ate one and a half ducks by himself, and of course, Wang Yourong ate four.

Bai Ye didn't seem to have much appetite, although he was very happy to win the game, but he had something hidden in his heart, he didn't know how to tell Lu Yuan and other teammates.

Bai Duo saw what was on her brother's mind, so she didn't tell her at the dinner table, but waited until everyone returned to the hotel at night, and called Bai Ye to her room.

"Haven't you told others about going to America?"

"No."

"Then let me tell you something, you'd better be mentally prepared."

"Ah."

Bai Ye didn't know what her sister wanted to say, and wondered if she would not be allowed to go to the United States?If that's fine, then don't worry about it.

"Lu Yuan is Lu Jian's younger brother."

But when Bai Duo said these words, Bai Ye was stunned, and then he calmed down again. In fact, when he saw the WeChat account of "No. [-]" that day, Bai Ye was already suspicious.

Now that Bai Duo said it, it just confirmed his conjecture.

Seeing a flash of surprise on Bai Ye's face, Bai Duo quickly calmed down, and asked, "Why, you knew it before?"

Bai Ye shook her head and said, "I don't know, I'm just a little suspicious."

Bai Duo didn't ask his younger brother why he was suspicious, but continued: "So, Lu Zihao is Lu Yuan's father. He found me today and wanted me to send his son to the United States. I said, I will definitely give priority to my younger brother. Now I wonder if you would be more accepting if you two went to America together, after all you are such good friends."

Bai Duo saw Bai Ye's hesitation in going to the United States, so she wondered if she would make Bai Ye more willing if Lu Yuan went with her.

Although Lu Yuan may not be able to enroll in the United States, but he can be borrowed there, or exchanged, with Bai Duo's energy, this operation is not a big problem.

But upon hearing Bai Duo's suggestion, Bai Ye did not respond for a long time. His face was solemn and his brows were tightly frowned, as if he was struggling a lot.

"Ye Zi, although Lu Jian and you are rivals, but you and his brother are good friends, it doesn't matter, you are still young..."

"Sister! I don't want to go to America anymore. I want to stay in China, in Lizhong. You can send Lu Yuan to America."

Bai Ye suddenly interrupted Bai Duo's words, which surprised Bai Duo.

She didn't expect that Bai Ye's entanglement was not that Lu Yuan was Lu Jian's younger brother, but that he wanted Lu Yuan to go to the United States, not himself.

"why?"

"Because...he's better than me."
