Chapter 426 One Breath Survives

"Basketball games are not only about scores, but also psychology. If you don't see the fluctuations and changes in players' psychology behind the scores and just stare at the scores, then basketball will punish you."

Sitting on the sidelines, Duanmuqu remembered what Yao Guangzhi said to him when he was studying in Deming High School.

Seeing that Lizhong was pulled away in a few minutes today, he suddenly had a deeper understanding of this passage. He saw that Yao Guangzhi made three adjustments to regain the rhythm of the game, and behind this was not only The tactical and strategic adjustments put even more psychological pressure on the opposing players.

The first time he put pressure on Lu Yuan, the second time he put pressure on Lu Yuan and Bai Ye, and the third time, he finally used his trump card, putting pressure on the entire Licheng Middle School, and on the entire Licheng Middle School. their coach.

The first two times, Lizhong survived, but this last time, there was not much time left for them.

If a team fails to serve the ball continuously, makes consecutive mistakes, and is chased for points continuously during the offense, the psychological blow will definitely be huge.

And this is already the quarter-finals. Lizhong has already achieved their best results in history. They played very well against Deming High School. Even if they lose in the end, their amazing performance is still an honor to be defeated.

In this situation, it is like a person who runs 100 meters, falls down in the last [-] meters, and is exhausted. People around him are encouraging him, telling him that it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t finish the run, he has already run very well.

Many people may just lie on the ground and give up. They can relax their bodies, take a good breath of fresh air, drink a sip of water, and have a good sleep. Life will continue.

What's more, the basketball team is not one person, but many people. As long as one person starts to have such a mentality, it will spread and infect like a virus, until the body of a team collapses and completely gives up.

As the saying goes, "a soldier who surrenders without fighting" is the highest state of military art. Letting the opponent give up on the court is always the most brilliant and powerful performance.

Yao Guangzhi saw that Lizhong called a timeout, and he looked up at the scoreboard for the first time in the whole game. The gap was 17 points.

"17 points, 3 points short, unstable."

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

As for the bench in Lizhong, contrary to many people's guesses, it was quite calm.Of course, the players' faces were inevitably a little frustrated. Everyone was a little confused by the consecutive mistakes just now, and this kind of emotion is easily contagious.

But no one complained, no one showed the slightest thought of giving up, and everyone was listening carefully to Gao Jing's next arrangement.

Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why Lizhong has been able to come to the present—this is a group of children who are united, persistent, and have no distracting thoughts. They treat basketball with such sincerity and simplicity. , as deeply integrated into this team.

They fail, they get timid, they act badly, they get lost, but they don't give up.

The idea of ​​giving up, since the first warm-up match, has never, never, never appeared in the minds of Lizhong players, and they will never give up.

"Time is running out, we have to make some changes. Chen Cai, you go up, Wang Yourong gets off, and Zhang Run! Get ready to go on stage and replace Zou Zhou."

Gao Jing made personnel adjustments, replacing Wang Yourong with Chen Cai and Zou Zhou with Zhang Run.This is no longer one big and four small ones, but the real five small ones, a fighting lineup!
Such a lineup is undoubtedly very risky. This is not the NBA, but the NHBA. What's more terrible is that Lizhong has never used this lineup in an official game.

So far in the national competition, Zhang Run has never had the chance to play. He mainly appeared in the county competition and the city competition, but when it came to the East China competition, he rarely played, because he Except for shooting, I really can't see other aspects.

But now, what Lizhong wants is shooting, what it wants is three-pointers, and other things are not important.

Zhang Run immediately took off his sports coat and stretched briefly after receiving the call. There was no surprise, no panic, or even a trace of tension on his face—because he had waited for such a moment for too long.

As the second member of the team's end trio, due to his personal strength, the farther Lizhong goes, the less chance he will get to play.But as a pitcher, he knew that he would come in handy one day.

So although he didn't get the chance to play many times, he never pulled down in training, especially shooting.

He loves shooting so much, seeing that he can throw the ball into that small basket, his heart can be greatly satisfied.

It is his dream to help the team hit shots at critical moments of key games, but now, when such a moment has come, how can he be nervous and afraid.

"Remember, everyone, take every opportunity, wide open, reduce your passing, everyone on offense, defense and rebounding, I mean everyone! What we did before Not good enough, now, we still have a chance, but time is running out, we have to win the game! Do you have confidence!"

"Have!"

At such a critical moment, Lizhong has aroused even stronger morale, but can their lineup withstand the crushing of Deming High School?In particular, Chen Cai was the only insider.

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

The timeout was over, and the two sides reappeared. Seeing Lizhong's lineup, the audience was taken aback, knowing that Lizhong was going to fight for their lives.

Duanmuqu looked at Lizhong's lineup and said, "Lizhong is going to fight hard. The tallest player on the field is a small forward. If they can't play well, I think they will surrender within 2 minutes."

Lin Xin replied: "They fought a bit late, there are still more than 5 minutes left, and nearly 20 points. Even if Deming doesn't score, it will probably be very difficult."

"Look at the first attack. If you attack, you still have a chance."

Lizhong's first attack back from a timeout is the key to the exception. As Duanmuqu said, this goal is scored, and there is still hope. Powerless.

Deming High School also seemed to see the key to this shot, so it was strictly guarded from the start of the serve, but this time, with five small players on the field, it would not be so easy to block the serve.

Wu Peng successfully got the ball in the backcourt, and then immediately passed it to Bai Ye who came up to meet him. Deming's defense returned to the normal position, and Bai Ye was organizing at a high position. This was a huge test of his organizational ability.

Bai Ye's brain turned quickly, and soon found the opportunity. Lu Yuan cut in from the middle, and then ran to the right at 45 degrees, attracting the defensive attention of two people. Zhang Run, who had been lying in ambush at the bottom of the right, ran to the left In the bottom corner, a good shot appeared.

Bai Ye immediately passed the ball to Zhang Run, and Zhang Run took the ball and shot a three-pointer at a zero-degree angle!

However, Zhang Run made a mistake as soon as he shot the ball, and the trajectory was obviously crooked. Obviously, although he was not mentally nervous, his body was still tense, and there was no heat.

"ended!"

Duanmuqu looked at the distorted trajectory of the ball, as long as the ball missed, Lizhong would be helpless.

The ball hit the front of the basket, and several people under the basket jumped up to compete for this critical rebound. This may be a rebound that determines the outcome of the game and the fate of the two teams.

But the first one to touch the ball was not the tall and long-armed An Runzhou, not the strong Zhu Zhaolun, but the unremarkable Chen Cai.He tapped the ball with his finger again, changed the direction of the ball, jumped again, tapped again, and finally put the ball in his arms!
Chen Cai, who got the ball, did not hesitate and threw the ball back to Zhang Run. The defender focused on rebounding, and the defense was not in place yet!
In the same position, the same distance, and the same ball, Zhang Run caught the ball and made another shot. There was no hesitation on his face.

"I was born to shoot, how can I be afraid..."

"Shua!" The ball went into the net hollow!A three-pointer hit, Lizhong finally scored a goal! 84:98, the point difference came to 14 points, and there were still 5 minutes before the end of the game, and Lizhong was still alive.
