Chapter 205 Problem Team
The No. [-] Middle School continued to use the lineup without Mu Chenfeng. Li Yao and Feng Chuang were in the backcourt, Ye Lin was called the first core, Su Miao and Chen Xin guarded the inside line. The only shortcoming of the lineup was the lack of offensive firepower of the two guards, but the depth of the inside line could easily form an advantage when facing any team.

Mingxiu's players are all unfamiliar faces. The U16 trio of Feng Chao, Hu Hao, and Wang Daxiong is paired with Fu Di and a blue-collar power forward. This lineup looks very balanced, but it is still a mystery how strong it can be.

What made Mu Chenfeng not optimistic about Mingxiu was what Fu Di said to him. If Mingxiu couldn't activate Fu Di's point, then the game would become very difficult.

Mu Chenfeng sat on the chair and kept shaking his legs.

"Want to play?" Fang Tianzheng came over and asked after finishing the greetings.

"This kind of game doesn't require me to play at all." Mu Chenfeng didn't look at Mu Chenfeng directly, and kept his eyes on the court.

"Then don't shake your legs and lose money." Fang Tianzheng said, "Just sit here obediently and watch the game."

Players from both sides enter the field and the game officially begins.

The jump ball players on both sides are former U16 teammates, Chen Xin and Wang Daxiong.

"The opposing center looks like something."

Wang Daxiong's physique was not inferior to Chen Xin's at all, and Chen Xin finally met a decent opponent.

"Don't worry, I've explained it before." Ye Lin said to herself, "The other party is just a substitute."

Although they are both U16s, there are still big differences in strength. It can be seen from the rankings that Chen Xin is ranked 9th, Wang Daxiong is only ranked 17th, and the center position is second to last, only better than the 24th.

As a result, Chen Xin won the jump ball with an overwhelming advantage.

The basketball just floated into Ye Lin's hands, "This is the gap."

Chen Xin's dominance shocked Mu Chenfeng. His joining was a great improvement for the insiders of the No. [-] Middle School. The most obvious thing was that he completely liberated Su Miao, allowing the latter to play in his good position.

The first ball at the opening came from Ye Lin and Chen Xin's alley-oop, which is already the opening method of the third middle school.

Mu Chenfeng seemed to be calm on the surface, but he was no longer calm in his heart. He finally understood why the No. 5 Middle School won a record [-] consecutive victories during his absence. Ye Lin and Chen Xin not only made up for the vacancy when Mu Chenfeng was away, but also raised the team to another level.

In the defensive round, the defensive performance of No. [-] Middle School is also quite aggressive. Except for Feng Chuang's defense, which is a little worse, the other players have good defensive ability, which makes it difficult for Mingxiu to find suitable offensive opportunities.

Hu Hao is Mingxiu's point guard, and he is also a member of U16. Unfortunately, he met Li Yao, a freak who relies on defense for his living. Under Li Yao's impeccable defense, Hu Hao had no chance at all, so he had no choice but to pass the ball to Feng Chao.

However, Feng Chao's life is even more difficult. He is facing Ye Lin, an opponent who is very familiar with him. Ye Lin has an insight into almost every technical move of Feng Chao, and can even predict his subsequent offensive methods.

In the small forward matchup, Mingxiu Middle School was also in a backward situation.

On the inside, Chen Xin completely suppressed Wang Daxiong, and by the way, even suppressed the opponent's power forward.

However, Fu Di became Mingxiu's only chance to break through the direction of the third middle school.

However, the basketball has never been passed to him. To be precise, the teammates did not intend to pass it at all. The basketball was passed between the U16 trio from the beginning to the end, and Fu Di and another power forward were useless.

"It seems that Mingxiu has a big problem." Fang Tianzheng muttered, then got up and walked out.

What Mu Chenfeng was "worried about" really happened. Mingxiu Middle School seemed to have five people playing, but in fact it was only a three-person team. The retired U16 players didn't pay attention to their teammates at all. They wanted to play with the strength of three people.

Obviously, the strength of three people cannot compete with a complete team.

Under the tight defense of No. 24 Middle School, Ming Xiu was defended for [-] seconds, and the time was lost in the continuous passing of the ball by the three of them.

The first attack in the opening ended with a 24-second violation, which dealt a huge blow to Mingxiu's momentum, and the impassioned audience became silent because of this "mistake".

"Just now you should have given the ball to Fu Di." Mingxiu's power forward said.

"Shut up, you play or I play." Feng Chao shouted, looking at the opponent with hostile eyes, "You can rest now." So, Mingxiu applied for the first timeout less than one minute after the opening, and replaced the "talkative" starting power forward.

The Mingxiu trio have the absolute right to speak, they can decide who will play and who will be on the bench.

Fu Disheng was obedient, even if he didn't pass the ball to himself, he wouldn't say a word, because Feng Chao decided to put Fu Di on the court, but he didn't give him the ball.

In Feng Chao's words, this is their team, as for the other two, they can be anyone, as long as they can run back and forth.

In this way, Fu Di followed Mingxiu and ran for 6 minutes. Halfway through the first quarter, he didn't even touch the ball once, but the score was an embarrassing 20:5.

The 5 points scored by Mingxiu Middle School all came from free throws, and there was not a single sports game goal. On the other hand, the 20 points scored by No. [-] Middle School were rich and varied. There were strong individual singles and tacit teamwork. Except for Li Yao, who did not score in the starting five, the rest of the players all scored.

"Forget it, 2 points is also a point." Feng Chuang, who was planning to do a big job, only got a pitiful 2 points, and hardly made any contribution.

The fierce firepower of the third center is due to Li Yao's organization. Ye Lin completely gave Li Yao the possession of the ball, and he put more experience into the matchup with Feng Chao. This gave Li Yao a stage to show his talent. The 5 assists in half a quarter are the best proof of his strength.

"Is this still the Li Yao I know?" In the days without Mu Chenfeng, all the players of No. [-] Middle School have also made great progress. The addition of Ye Lin and Chen Xin made No. [-] Middle School, which originally only relied on Mu Chenfeng's "single output", become "multi-faceted", which made him more clear about his position: organization and defense!These two items were all Li Yao had in the game. As for scoring, that was not what he should consider.

The positioning of the court is clear, and it is much more comfortable to play. On the offensive end, he has devoted all his experience to how to help his teammates score more effectively, but he has completely stimulated his talent in organization. His passing is no longer as simple and direct as before, but has become more enjoyable while ensuring the quality of passing. Although it is not fancy, it is subtle enough and pleasing to the eye.
