Chapter 423 Passion

Deming High School's sudden double-team defense caught Lizhong by surprise at the beginning of the second half. The center line double-teamed. This was Gao Jing's focus on training when giving defensive lessons to the players. He forced the ball handler to the dead corner and forced him to pass. ball.

Of course, as long as it is double-teaming, there will inevitably be loopholes, and other people need to fill in the loopholes, and people are always not as fast as the ball transfer. If the transfer of the ball is fast enough, the loopholes of the defensive team will be bigger and bigger.

However, Deming High School has an all-purpose glue that can mend leaks everywhere - An Runzhou.

An Runzhou played quite well in the first half, grabbing rebounds, defending the basket, and occasionally made a few jump shots on the offensive end, which made Lizhong defeat no chance to score under the basket. What kills - this is not his strong point.

An Runzhou is just an average tall man on the offensive end. In terms of back-up skills, let alone compared with Gan Zhizhi, he can't even compare with Bai Ye on the opposite side.

However, this does not prevent him from becoming the best center forward in the Southern District, becoming the "Wolverine" that everyone fears, even fears like a tiger. This is all due to his superb defensive ability. Can do watertight.

And he can command the whole team to defend like the leader of the wolves, especially for the opponent's outside ball holders, to carry out continuous biting defense. For many players who lack the ability to resist pressure, "Wolverine" is A nightmare existence.

Skills, enthusiasm, and aggression are the secrets of An Runzhou to maintain energy and vitality on the defensive end. In the earlier games, An Runzhou had difficulty raising his enthusiasm because his opponents always lost their ability to resist quickly.For the leader of the wolf pack, if the prey falls early, he doesn't have to show his fangs.

However, the performance of Licheng Middle School, especially Lu Yuan, in the first half aroused An Runzhou's strong competitive spirit. After successfully stealing and dunking, he returned to the backcourt. The whole Lizhong team declares war.

"Neuropathy."

Seeing An Runzhou's appearance, Bai Ye gave him a supercilious look.

But perhaps, on the basketball court, only psychos can survive on the defensive end.

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

After halftime, Wu Peng didn't pass to Lu Yuan immediately, but observed for a while, and passed the ball to Bai Ye on the left waist. An Runzhou immediately stepped up to double-team. It was assigned to Lu Yuan at the top of the arc, and Wang Yourong was empty inside. Lu Yuan didn't hesitate, and made a through pass to the basket.

Wang Yourong received the ball, turned around and was about to layup directly, but An Runzhou, who was still assisting Baiye just now, had already made up. He jumped high and directly pressed the ball in Wang Yourong's hand!

A cover!
The ball bounced to the ground, and a group of people rushed up to grab it together. In the end, Bai Ye and An Runzhou twisted into a ball with the ball in their arms.

Bai Ye let go and stood up from the ground, but An Runzhou held the ball and still didn't let go, and even hit his head with the ball twice.

Bai Ye looked at him and thought, what's wrong with this guy?
"An Runzhou is different from the first half."

Lin Xin saw An Runzhou's appearance from a distance. He knew this guy quite well. Knowing that An Runzhou was like this, he was forcing himself to get excited.

Different people have different styles of playing. Some are calm and decisive, while others are passionate. Relatively speaking, a good offense is more cold-blooded, while a good defense is often passionate. This is a different division of labor on the field. of.

An Runzhou is undoubtedly the latter.

In the basketball team of Deming High School, because of Yao Guangzhi's request, the whole team is like an army. Everything has strict discipline and norms, and the individual character is suppressed.

Therefore, as the captain of the team, An Runzhou looks calm and stable most of the time, which is Yao Guangzhi's requirement for him.

But if the competition is extremely fierce and arouses his competitive spirit, then everything will develop out of control, and An Runzhou will become more and more irritable, until people feel that he is going to eat people.

Now, Bai Ye stood in front of An Runzhou face to face, and felt that this guy's eyes seemed to eat people.

When the two scrambled for the ball, An Runzhou had an absolute advantage in height and jumping, and easily won the ball. After landing, he roared, as if he had dunked instead of scrimmage.

Then, on the offensive end, there was another high-position pick-and-roll. After the first-half pick-and-roll, An Runzhou always withdrew, catching the ball and making long-range jump shots when he had the chance, but this time he chose to cut in.

Du Qiming made a high lob, An Runzhou jumped up to catch the ball, turned around and made a fake move, and then even passed Wang Yourong with a crossover, and successfully dunked with one hand under the basket!

"An Runzhou's change of direction dunk! Roar from Wolverine!"

This time, An Runzhou, who succeeded in dunking, finally yelled in front of the audience, as if the wolf king on a moonlit night was summoning his companions to attack his opponent.

"Other people in Lizhong must stand up. Do they think that they can suppress Deming High School on both offense and defense with only Lu Yuan and Bai Ye? They are so naive. Unless Lu Yuan scores 60 points in a single game, otherwise this ball It cannot be won."

Liang Boyu watched An Runzhou's berserk performance, and knew that this guy was starting to exert his strength, but Lizhong would die ugly if they continued to play like the first half in the face of Deming High's defensive changes.

"It's been a while since Xiaoan played like this. I thought he would at least save his energy until the semifinals."

Yao Guangzhi, who was sitting upright on the bench, watched An Runzhou's performance, and many thoughts popped into his mind.

He has always called An Runzhou "Xiao An". Although An Runzhou doesn't like this name at all, there is nothing the coach can do if he wants to call it that.

Yao Guangzhi still remembers how An Runzhou had a conflict with his teammates in the team's training match on the first day of reporting for the basketball team in his freshman year of high school.

Later, An Runzhou's style of being snarky on the court has not changed much, no matter his teammates or opponents.And his performance was also very outstanding. He quickly secured the team's starting center position and led Deming High School all the way through. He was also awarded the Most Valuable Player in the Southern Division.

Until the finals of that year, at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center, he met the Huaqing High School, and met someone he could not beat. In that battle, Gan made 15 of 15 shots, scored 40 points, and made 10 free throws. He made 10 free throws, scored 40 points, created a record of 100% shooting in the NHBA Finals, and defeated Deming High School to win the championship.

For An Runzhou, that was the biggest setback he encountered after he came to the basketball court, and it was from that summer that Yao Guangzhi began to call him "Xiao An", which meant that he could be quieter when he was playing.

"Power should be used where it should be used, and released indiscriminately, sometimes it will hurt your teammates and yourself."

On the court, An Runzhou recalled the words Yao Guangzhi said to him again in his mind. Whenever he felt hot-headed, he would use this sentence to calm himself down.

But at this moment, he thought: "Now, should I release my power?"

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

At 45:50, Lizhong hadn’t been able to score in the second half. Whenever Lu Yuan or Baiye got the ball, someone would come to double-team it. Deming High School’s double-teaming was as tight as a compressed sandwich, leaving little space for people to dribble. , and they skillfully drove the opponent to the sides, making it more difficult for the opponent to hold the ball.

The best way to break the double-team is not to be reckless, but to pass the ball. Lu Yuan understands this truth, but when the ball is passed, no matter who the ball is passed to, Lu Yuan will find a problem - there must be someone in front of this person. And this person is probably An Runzhou.

When the pass was made, there was still an empty space, but when the ball was in hand, it was filled.

Pass again, there are still people to make up, pass again, but also to make up the defense, pass a circle, the ball returns to Lu Yuan, and there are still two people in front of him double-teaming him!

In the second half of the Deming High School, it seemed that there was one more person on the field when defending, but after a closer look, there were indeed only five.

In the end, Lizhong's offense was timed out, and Deming High School used their extremely quick defense to defend Lizhong against an offensive violation.

An Runzhou applauded desperately like crazy, loudly encouraging the players. On the domestic basketball court, it is rare to see a player who likes to shout like him, but the defensive passion he brought to his teammates, It is obvious.

Turning around, Deming High School hit again in the attack. Fei Yi used Zhu Zhaolun's screen to catch the ball from outside the three-point line on the left wing.

At 45:53, just after the start of the second half, Deming beat Lizhong 7:0.
