Chapter 425 The Scariest Defense
Yao Guangzhi called a timeout again. Judging from the time and frequency of timeouts today, the "punctual Guangzhi" was not punctual. After all, basketball game plans cannot keep up with changes.

Although Yao Guangzhi claims to be as immovable as a mountain, facing Lizhong today, he has made two major adjustments. One is to switch to Qian Xiaocong in the first half to defend Lu Yuan alone, at the expense of the team's offense.One is that during the halftime break, the team's defensive strategy was changed to double-team and rotate.

The two adjustments had good results, and they were both tactically successful. The first time successfully pinched Lu Yuan's attack, and the second time helped the team open up points and take advantage of the scene.

However, Yao Guangzhi knew in his heart that the two adjustments were only tactical successes, but they both failed strategically. There was only one fundamental reason for Yao Guangzhi's adjustments—to bring the game into the rhythm that belonged to Deming High School. Make sure to win this game.

But look at the current score, 81:89, with 8 minutes left before the end of the game. With such a score, Deming couldn't score so many points in some games.

Undoubtedly, the game as a whole is still in a confrontational rhythm. Fei Yi keeps hitting three-pointers, but Lizhong is also scoring, and the whole team is scoring.Except for Lu Yuan and Bai Ye, everyone else started to hit shots, which was the last thing Yao Guangzhi wanted to see.

Therefore, he must call a timeout and use the team's trump card. In 7 minutes, he wants the team to open the point difference to more than 3 points within 20 minutes!
........................

"It's really amazing that Lizhong has become like this. It's really unexpected that it can be evenly matched with Deming Middle School."

Lin Xin watched Lizhong force Deming High School to call a timeout, and lamented Lizhong's great progress over the past year.

Duanmuqu at the side said, "It's amazing, but I think their luck is coming to an end."

Lin Sifan on the side was unhappy when he heard this, and said, "Hey hey, you can't say that it's all due to luck."

Duanmuqu hurriedly explained: "Of course I didn't mean that, but in fact, in the first half and the second half, Lizhong passed through luck twice. After Deming played Qian Xiaocong in the first half, Lizhong's offensive rhythm was actually It has been broken, but relying on consecutive offensive rebounds, it survived; in the second half, you also saw that Deming double-teamed, and Lizhong had nothing to do. Who would have thought that a point guard who had never scored could score consecutively. Revitalize the team's offense, otherwise, at the beginning of the second half, the game will be spent nine times out of ten."

Lin Sifan snorted and said, "That's strength, not luck."

However, Lin Xin said: "Instructor Duanmu is right. Lizhong's two breakouts, including Lu Yuan's consecutive scoring in the first half, are a bit of a surprise move. It's not uncommon to use a strange move to succeed once. It is true that the whole game is successful. There's an element of luck."

Lin Sifan was still not reconciled, and said, "Then... that luck is also a part of strength."

Lin Xin shook his head after hearing this, thinking, girls are indeed extroverted, but thinking about it carefully, sometimes, luck is really a good thing. There must be something unique about them.

Duanmuqu said: "Let's see what happens next. After the timeout is over, we can see the best and scariest defense in the national high school basketball world."

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

The timeout ended soon. During the timeout, Gao Jing asked Lu Yuan if he wanted to take a break. Lu Yuan still refused. He wiped his sweat and said that he could continue playing.

In the second half, as Deming High started double-teaming him, Lu Yuan's shooting percentages began to drop, but he was smart and shifted his energy to defense and passing.

Lu Yuan was very annoyed by Fei Yi hitting three-pointers on his head one after another. This guy was different from the attackers Lu Yuan had encountered in the past. His running position was extremely precise and his shooting speed was extremely fast. Lu Yuan thought There is no chance of confrontation.

Lu Yuan had already thought about how to defend Fei Yi, but when he returned to the court, he found out that Yao Guangzhi had replaced Fei Yi and replaced him with Qian Xiaocong.

It seemed that Deming High School was going to strengthen its defense again, Lu Yuan couldn't help being annoyed, and wanted to piss off Fei Yi.

Qian Xiaocong's playing meant that Deming High School was four-on-five on the offensive end. As expected, Lu Yuan let go of Qian Xiaocong decisively, double-teamed Xingrui, and Xingrui split the ball. In the end, Du Qiming missed an outside shot and Wang Yourong Get the backboard.

According to the previous rhythm, Deming High School will not grab offensive rebounds, and will immediately return to defense after a missed shot, so Lizhong players are not in a hurry when they get backcourt rebounds.

But Wang Yourong didn't expect that An Runzhou and Zhu Zhaolun suddenly flanked him, and they surrounded him under the basket, and Wang Yourong couldn't get the ball out!

In a panic, Wang Yourong threw the ball to Lu Yuan, but the intention of the ball was too obvious, and was intercepted by Qian Xiaocong. After a successful steal, Qian Xiaocong went straight to the basket, made a layup, and won the game. The first two points.

81:91, the point difference came to 10 points again.

However, Deming High School, which succeeded in attacking, did not retreat to the half-court defense, but directly started to press Lizhong in the frontcourt.

The audience is pressing!
At the bottom line, Lizhong finally delivered the ball, but Wu Peng who was holding the ball was immediately double-teamed by Du Qiming and An Runzhou.

An Runzhou was so tall that Wu Peng felt that the sun was covered and he couldn't see anything.He stuffed the ball through the gap to Bai Ye who came to meet him, but Xing Rui, who was defending, hit the ball down!
The scrimmage, the referee blows the whistle and blows the scrimmage.

Bai Ye and Xing Rui stood on the free throw circle and fought for the ball. Bai Ye had the advantage in height and wingspan, but Xing Rui was stronger and more explosive. The two encountered the ball in the air at the same time, and the ball went towards an inexplicable Xiang Xiang flew out and landed in Zhu Zhaolun's hand.

Zhu Zhaolun threw the ball into the air again, and An Runzhou on the other side leaped high, made an alley-oop, and dunked into the basket with both hands!
81:93, the point difference became 12 points.

At this time, the players in Lizhong discovered that after the timeout ended, their ball hadn't passed halftime in two rounds.

"Has the full-court press started so early? Hiroshi, it seems that you have also discovered that you can't be soft-hearted to this team, right?"

Liang Boyu looked at Deming High School's defense and knew that Yao Guangzhi was going to use his housekeeping skills. This was Deming High School's ultra-high-intensity full-court pressing defense.

The full-court press is a high-intensity, high-pressure, and high-risk defensive strategy. If it is used well, it can turn things around, but if it is not used well, it will be a thousand miles away.

And Yao Guangzhi's Deming High School is undoubtedly the best team in the national high school basketball world, the best team used for pressing, its strength, rotation, and offensiveness are all first-class.

After the dunk, An Runzhou thumped his chest hard, as if otherwise, he would not be able to vent his passion.

At 81:95, the point difference widened further, but Gao Jing did not call a timeout, because she only had two timeouts left in her hands, and there was still a while before the end of the game, so the timeouts had to be used at critical moments.

However, in the next round, Gao Jing immediately regretted it, because Lizhong could no longer serve the ball in the backcourt!
Before the game, it was not that Lizhong had not trained how to deal with the full-court press, but at this point in the game, the sudden high-intensity full-court press made Lizhong's players a little confused.

Like a clockwork robot, An Runzhou waved his arms around to double-team, and Zou Zhou, who was serving the ball from the baseline, was flustered all of a sudden. As a result, the ball failed to pass three times, and the referee blew his whistle.

There was a lot of exclamation at the scene, not only lamenting the tight defense of Deming High School, but also lamenting that Lizhong, which was still clinging to the score, is likely to collapse now.

"Deming High School's full-court press was indeed a sharp weapon for them to turn the tables and pull points. Lizhong's pre-match response was still not enough."

Before the game, Liang Boyu reminded Gao Jing to be careful of Deming High School's full-court press, but when the game really happened, it was not enough to be mentally prepared to deal with it. Lizhong players had never encountered such a defense in the past.

This time, Gao Jing didn't even have time to call a timeout, and the ball returned to Deming High School.

However, the house leak happened to be raining overnight, Deming High School played the ball in the frontcourt, and the ball was in the hands of Xing Rui. Xing Rui held the ball on the outside and singled out Baiye. Entering the inside line, he forced a layup against Wang Yourong, and caused Wang Yourong's foul, which requires an additional penalty!
"yeah!"

After the goal, Xing Rui clenched his fists and roared. The ball almost knocked Lizhong to the ground. After the extra penalty hit, the score had reached 81:98. Almost instantly, in less than 2 minutes, the score The difference came to 17 points.

17 points, 20 points soon, facing Deming High School, 5 points behind with 20 minutes left in the game, almost no team has a chance of winning, not even Huaqing High School.

There was no other way at this time, Lizhong paused, Gao Jing looked at the players who were still a little confused, and thought to herself, it's not over yet, it's not over yet.
