Chapter 368 The Willful Center
Lizhong played a few good rounds in the opening game, while Guangdong Experimental Middle School, led by Du Yunchao, used a three-pointer to quickly tie the score, and the two sides soon returned to the same starting line.

The offensive style of the Experimental Middle School is quite southern, with fast passing and players who have a good understanding with each other.Because the players from Experimental Middle School have been playing together since elementary school, then junior high school, and then high school. After playing for at least six or seven years, what are the habits of teammates, what style are they, where do they shoot accurately, and where do they like to break through? , They are all clear to each other.

There is only one exception, and that is their center Huo Zhongyu. Huo Zhongyu was specially recruited into the basketball team by the Experimental Middle School in his first year of high school. He is one of the few "foreign students" in the team. His strength lies in defense. Cooperate, this guy becomes a moving stake, he can only grab rebounds and cover.

Generally speaking, in every game, there will always be a few periods of time when Huo Zhongyu cannot touch the ball. At other times, the coach will give him one-on-one tactical opportunities, and Du Yunchao will also pass him a good pass.

So at the beginning, the experimental middle school wanted Huo Zhongyu to play inside, but he couldn't hit Wang Yourong, so the day when he couldn't touch the ball came earlier than usual.

The score of the two sides changed from 10:10 to 15:15, and then to 20:20. Halfway through the first half, the score was always staggered. Both sides scored evenly, and the pace of the game was getting faster and faster.

Huo Zhongyu tried to beat Wang Yourong in the interior several times but failed. Gradually, his teammates stopped passing him the ball. If he wanted to attack, he had to grab the offensive rebound by himself.But as soon as he rushed to grab an offensive rebound, no one returned to the defense. There was a small problem with the inside defense of the Experimental Middle School.

However, the two teams are still gradually getting into shape. Wu Peng missed a mid-range jumper from the bottom corner, but Chen Cai, who came off the bench, hit the offensive rebound and gave the ball to Bai Ye, who strode into the paint. , Pretending to layup to attract the opponent's defense, and then an overhead lob pass hit the ball into Wang Yourong's hands, Wang Yourong caught the ball and made a layup.

Wang Yourong has scored 10 points in the first half, which is the highest score he has scored in the first half since he joined the Lizhong basketball team.In the past, not to mention the halftime, it was not easy for him to score 10 points in the whole game.

It is obviously difficult for Huo Zhongyu to take care of himself in the paint. He has to grab rebounds, make up defenses, and block shots. In fact, he can do two things at the same time, but it is not so simple to do all three things well in one defense.

He vented his anger to the offensive end. His teammate missed a jumper during the counterattack. Huo Zhongyu followed up and rushed to the offensive rebound, and then burst into the basket and was about to dunk.

As a result, Wang Yourong slapped Huo Zhongyu on the arm and slapped him down. The referee whistled and called Wang Yourong's foul, and Huo Zhongyu made a free throw.

But Huo Zhongyu quit, and finally got a chance to dunk, and you just slapped him to destroy him?Moreover, Wang Yourong's slap was not small, and it hurt Huo Zhongyu's arm.

Huo Zhongyu, who was a little frustrated, went up and pushed Wang Yourong. Wang Yourong fell back, and his lower body didn't move at all - he didn't push.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Seeing Huo Zhongyu pushing Wang Yourong, Lu Yuan opened his mouth to question.

"None of your business!" Huo Zhongyu shot back.

"If you can't beat you, just push him!"

"Who the fuck can't beat, it's his foul!"

The two had a quarrel right away, Lu Yuan had long been displeased with this guy, his behavior of throwing his sneakers yesterday made Lu Yuan very upset, he deliberately bumped into himself in the morning, and he always targeted Wang Yourong in the game.

Seeing that the two sides were angry, the referee quickly blew his whistle to calm down the two sides, and his teammates also came to persuade them.

Huo Zhongyu just stood on the free throw line, took the ball from the referee and missed the first free throw.After making some adjustments, the second free throw was still missed——Huo Zhongyu's basic shooting skills were mediocre. He just had a continuous inside confrontation, and his arm was a little stiff, which caused all two free throws to be wasted.

Wang Yourong protected the backcourt rebound. He was still very calm. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. It wasn't that he was afraid of Huo Zhongyu, but that he had his own way of dealing with problems.

Wang Yourong handed the ball directly to Bai Ye. After halftime, Wang Yourong went directly to the low post, got stuck with Huo Zhongyu, and asked for the ball on the left side!
This was the first time in history that Wang Yourong wanted to take the initiative to play singles, how could his teammates not cooperate, and pulled away from all sides, Baiye lobbed comfortably to the inside.

Wang Yourong is tall and has no low-post skills, but he can still catch the ball and turn around. Baiye's pass is very precise. Wang Yourong squeezed into the three-second zone and turned sideways the moment he caught the ball. Huo Zhongyu was not prepared enough. Let Wang Yourong want to be too deep, and he got under the basket in one fell swoop.

This time even the gods couldn't defend themselves, Wang Yourong pressed Huo Zhongyu, hit a hook lightly, and scored two more points! 12 points, Wang Yourong has scored 12 points in the first half.

At 24:20, Lizhong took advantage again.

After being hit twice by Wang Yourong, Huo Zhongyu angrily took the ball and threw it on the ground, but at this moment Du Yunchao said: "Give me the ball."

Huo Zhongyu had no choice but to go out of the baseline and send the ball to Du Yunchao. Du Yunchao dribbled the ball halfway, and suddenly passed the ball at a large oblique angle near the center line, directly passing from the right to the left corner.

Power forward Liu Yang just arrived, caught the ball and made a three-pointer from the corner!

Hit again!

This is Liu Yang's second corner three-pointer in the first half. This player named power forward, who actually looks like a small forward, really caused Lizhong a lot of trouble.

Chen Cai didn't keep up with others, and more importantly, he didn't expect Du Yunchao's pass to be so fast, with such a wide span, and such courage, while Liu Yang's catch was so accurate, and he could shoot directly without making too many adjustments. The tacit understanding of people can be seen.

At 23:24, Experimental Middle School was closing in on the score, Gao Jing chose to call a timeout, and decided to make adjustments so that Experimental Middle School's offense could not be played so smoothly.

Experimental Middle School also made adjustments. Fan Lejin decided to replace Huo Zhongyu, adding an extra offensive point on the court. In the first half, he let go and played against Lizhong.

Huo Zhongyu's face was full of displeasure, and he wanted to argue with Fan Lejin, but Coach Fan didn't give him a chance to argue, and directly pushed him on the bench to let him have a good rest.

Lizhong also replaced Wang Yourong, and Zhang Fan went into battle. Zhang Fan's defense was nowhere near as good as Wang Yourong's, but his offensive skills were there. As soon as he played, Lizhong had an extra offensive point on the inside, and he could open both inside and outside.

The Experimental Middle School has replaced Ma Xiaoning as a backup center, a flexible insider who can attack mid-range, which also enriches the offensive level of the Experimental Middle School.

In the second half of the first half, the offenses of both sides played smoothly. Du Yunchao sorted out the offense of the Experimental Middle School in an orderly manner. A teammate passes the ball to create an attacking opportunity.

In comparison, Lizhong played more concisely and clearly, Bai Ye and Lu Yuan were the main attack points, and Zhang Fan could also contribute to singles.One side focused on two points, while the other side mainly relied on three points, and the scores went up layer by layer. Near the end of the first half, the score became 47:45, and Lizhong still led by 2 points.

Huo Zhongyu has been sitting off the court for five or six minutes. Seeing that Lizhong can easily get into the inside and score, his mood is getting more and more anxious. impossible.

Seeing that the first half of the game was coming to an end, Huo Zhongyu knew that he had no chance to play and would definitely have to wait until the second half, so he was a little frustrated.

In the games before this season, it was the first time that Huo Zhongyu was pressed on the bench like this in the first half. He didn't have a big hat, didn't dunk hard, didn't have the applause of the audience and the exclamation of the girls. He just sat on the bench and watched. Teammates played and were suppressed by the opponent's No. 11 center.

The more Huo Zhongyu thought about it, the more angry he became. At this time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and the score was still 47:45. In the last two rounds, neither side scored a goal, maintaining a two-point gap. rest.

Huo Zhongyu drooped his head and followed his teammates back to the locker room. Before entering the locker room, the head coach Fan Lejin stopped Huo Zhongyu at the door.

Fan Lejin asked: "How is it? How does it feel after the first half?"

Huo Zhongyu snorted and didn't speak, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with playing for only 10 minutes in the first half.

Fan Lejin shook his head and said: "I was too used to you before, let me tell you, let me think about it in my mind, what exactly are you going to do, what can you do, what do you do well on the court, if you understand it, tell me, I will You'll be on the field in the second half."

"I want to score! Look at the No. 11 on the opposite side. His skills are not as good as mine. I'm already under the pressure of him. I'm sure I'm going to blow him up!"

Huo Zhongyu said without hesitation that at school and on the team, he had always acted more ostentatiously, and he had always been the bully. In games and activities, he was the protagonist.Even in the match against Deming High School, he played very well. In his opinion, if it wasn't for the lack of teammates in that match, they might have won the championship in the South China region.

Fan Lejin looked at Huo Zhongyu, and said: "This is a national competition. If you lose one game, you will lose all. You have to think about how to win in the second half. The Lizhong game video I sent you is a game. Didn't you watch it?"

Huo Zhongyu shook his head, and said: "I didn't look at it, you won't let me sit inside to defend again, and don't do anything else?"

"You are not stupid."

"Why, it's not that I don't know how to attack. As long as I get the ball inside, you can't see my shooting percentage!"

Fan Lejin stared at Huo Zhongyu, biting him word for word and said: "In the second half, you defend me well, protect the inside line, especially watch the No. 18!"

"Number 18?" Huo Zhongyu thought about that kid, so he nodded, thinking, it's okay to deal with him, but I still have to score.
