pinnacle of basketball

Chapter 210
Fu Di completed the transfer procedures in three days and officially went to No. [-] Middle School to report.

"This is your jersey." Su Mengyao handed two No. 14 jerseys with [Fu Di]'s name printed on them to Fu Di's hands. Seeing this familiar number again, she was very kind.

"My name is Su Mengyao, just ask me if there is anything the team doesn't understand." Su Mengyao smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Okay, thank you." Fu Dixie said.

"Try it on and see if it fits the right size." Su Mengyao urged.

Fu Di said with an embarrassed expression, "It's okay to change, but can you avoid it first?"

Su Mengyao even forgot that this is the men's locker room, so she pretended to be calm and said, "I'll go out first, you change."

After defeating Mingxiu, the No. [-] Middle School will welcome its second warm-up opponent, Fenghua. Compared with Mingxiu’s lack of fame, Fenghua Middle School’s basketball has some twists and turns. They once had their own basketball team and played in the high school league. However, due to the poor performance of the team, the team announced its disbandment in the third year of its establishment. During the disbandment, the school also tried to form a basketball team again.

But this year, two U16 players suddenly joined Fenghua Middle School, which made the school see the hope of rebuilding, so it restarted the reconstruction plan that had been put on hold for many years. From recruiting to winning its first victory, Fenghua only took five days. The school submitted an application to the league committee to join the league, bringing this team that had been away for many years back to the stage of the high school league.

However, today's league is not what it used to be. There are many powerful players, and it is difficult for Fenghua to win a place. Their goal is also very realistic, avoiding the bottom three. As for the Spring Cup tickets, the school has never expected.

However, Yin Zhe and Hou Ning, the U16 backcourt duo, have a very clear goal, which is the league championship.

In front of the tactical board beside the court, Li Yao was writing quickly, writing dense words and vivid pictures on the white board.

"What is this?" Su Mengyao asked, tilting her head.

"This is tomorrow's opponent's information and common tactics." Li Yao replied.

"Isn't it just Fenghua, it must be another big victory." The big victory with Mingxiu refreshed Su Mengyao's understanding of the team, and even felt that no matter what opponent she met, she could win big.

Li Yao shook his head and said, "Tomorrow's opponent is different from Mingxiu. Although they only have two U16 players, Fenghua's team atmosphere is quite good, and there is a certain tacit understanding among teammates. Moreover, Yin Zhe is ranked 16th in U11, and Hou Ning is ranked 13th. Both of them belong to the upper-middle level of U16, and they are not at the same level as Mingxiu's three."

Although Su Mengyao is not familiar with these people, she is still very sensitive to rankings, and she understands that the higher the ranking, the more powerful they are.

"Then can we win tomorrow?" Su Mengyao felt a little guilty after being told by Li Yao.

"The game hasn't been played yet, so everything is hard to say, and there are new players in the team, and Mu Chenfeng can't play." These are two uncertain factors in the third middle school. Mu Chenfeng's inability to play has already greatly weakened the strength of the third middle school.

"It would be great if Mu Chenfeng could do it." Su Mengyao rested her chin in both hands, not in a high mood.

The training ended early, and the players were given enough rest time to prepare for the match against Fenghua. Judging from the attitude of the team, Sanzhong attaches great importance to this match.

Going to the away game again, Fenghua's audience is obviously much smaller than Mingxiu's. In Nuoda's stadium, only a few seats are occupied, and there are many empty seats left.

Such a scene looks much more comfortable, and this is the environment that the warm-up match should have.

Players from both sides entered the field to warm up. No. [-] Middle School wore white jerseys, and Fenghua wore purple jerseys. Purple is the representative color of Fenghua.

Both parties start:

Fenghua: Yin Zhe, Hou Ning, Xu Xiaotian, Lai Yicheng, Chen Han.

Third Middle School: Li Yao, Ye Lin, Su Miao, Chen Xin and Fu Di.

Fu Di unexpectedly appeared in the starting list of No. [-] Middle School.

"I'll start?" Fu Di asked.

"Mu Chenfeng won't play, you will take his place temporarily, familiarize yourself with the team's tactics, and let everyone get to know you." Fang Tianzheng has his own plan, which is why he put Fu Di in the starting lineup.

In this way, Feng Chuang was the most upset. He originally wanted to use the time when Mu Chenfeng was away to enjoy the taste of returning to the starting lineup, but he didn't expect to be pushed down again after only one fight.

"The first tactic at the beginning is to beat Fu Di." Fang Tianzheng commanded, as a gift to welcome Fu Di, Fang Tianzheng specially designed a three-point tactic for him.

"But I'm not very familiar with tactics yet." Knowing that he was going to play the first ball, Fu Di suddenly felt guilty.

"It doesn't matter, leave the rebound to us, and you can shoot as you like." Su Miao and Chen Xin are the guarantee of the rebound.

In the jump ball session, Chen Xin still maintained super dominance and easily got the ball.

The teammate immediately moved to pick and roll for Fu Di and successfully opened a wide open for him. Li Yao hit the ground and passed the ball, and the basketball just bounced into Fu Di's hands.

"Nice!" Before Fu Di made a move, Li Yao made an "OK" gesture, which showed how much he trusted Fu Di's three-pointer.

Fu Di hesitated for a moment, and shot from wide open. The trajectory of the basketball was slightly crooked, and it hit the side of the basket and bounced out.

"Nani?" Li Yao was stunned and didn't even enter, which made his early celebration look very foolish.

"It's okay, there's a rebound!" Chen Xin himself stuck the opponent's two insiders to death, and helped Su Miao easily pick off the rebound.

"One more!" Su Miao flicked the ball back to Fu Di on the outside. At this time, the players defending him were all focused on the backboard, ignoring him again. When the ball arrived, there was another wide open.

Fu Di paused again before making a shot, and the basketball missed again.

"This is the treasure you found?" Su Mengyao, who came with the team, questioned when he missed two shots.

"In the last game, he shot accurately." Feng Chuang defended Fu Di, but he couldn't explain Fu Di's performance just now, it was a big open space without defense.

"Why do you think Fu Di's shooting is weird?" Mu Chenfeng frowned slightly.

"Well, Fu Di has to pause before every shot, and the shooting movement is not smooth enough." Fang Tianzheng also realized this.

"His shooting is not like this." In my impression, Fu Di's shots are very decisive, often giving opponents a surprise blow, but now his shots are slow and sideways.

Mu Chenfeng recalled Fu Di's previous shots. Most of them were forcibly scored under tight defense, and there were very few such open shots.

"Is this guy a pressure player?" Mu Chenfeng guessed.

"What is a pressure player?" Su Mengyao asked, while Feng Chuang listened.

"The so-called pressure player is actually a psychological barrier. Simply put, this type of player is suitable for shooting under pressure. The greater the pressure, the higher the hit rate. On the contrary, if the pressure is low or the space is open, the hit rate will be lower. We collectively call this unconventional situation a pressure player."

"According to what you said, if no one guards him, he will never make a shot." Su Mengyao asked again
"It's not absolute. It can only be said that the hit rate will decrease in that case, but there is also the possibility of improvement."

Su Miao grabbed another rebound and passed it to Fu Di again, but this time the opponent's defense was in place, and Fu Di was not given another space.

This time, Fu Di's shot was decisive and the basketball hit the net!
