stadium ambition

Chapter 23

Su Yang responded with a smile, feeling a boulder falling from his heart, and instantly became as light as a swallow.

However, Lu Rulan sat down to chat with friends in the same company after saying hello, and she didn't seem to care much about it.

Su Yang suddenly felt a little lost, but he didn't think too much, and hurried back to the team to wait for the coach's arrangement.

The whole team formed a circle, David stood in the middle, and said very seriously: "We have the first opportunity to test the results of training. I hope you can make accurate fast breaks, fast shots, and timely defensive rotations... "

What David said was almost all the content that he usually emphasized, and he said it again before the game, just to strengthen the image.

Ron and the others nodded frequently in response, and Su Yang calmly recalled the game videos of the Santa Margarita High School team a few days ago. The opponent was obviously a well-trained team, and basically launched and deployed tactics around Thompson.

The preset coping strategy on my side is very simple. As long as there are screens, change players, and always keep someone in front of Thompson, but unless the position is under the basket, try not to double-team to prevent Thompson from destroying the defense through passing.

"Su, if the game is in a hurry, we need you to stand up and play singles." David shouted, "Don't worry about your mistakes, and don't worry about your performance being too ostentatious. This is a place to show your strength, understand?"

Su Yang nodded to express his understanding. He had discussed this topic with David before. David was worried that he would participate in the first open game against other school teams, and under the attention of many people, he would be easily affected by emotions, which would lead to abnormal performance.

"Finally, I hope everyone maintains their demeanor. This is our home stadium. If we make it too ugly, it will easily affect the outside world's evaluation of us." David looked a little helpless, as if under some kind of coercion, he had to say this.

Su Yang and the others were all puzzled, but they all nodded their heads and made promises, and each dispersed to prepare.

With the voice of the live announcer, the pre-match introduction ceremony began, and the audience gave a standing ovation to show their welcome.

According to etiquette, the Santa Margarita High School team players who came from afar were first introduced. They accompanied the cheerleaders and stood side by side in two rows on the sidelines.

Su Yang saw the tall and thin Thompson at a glance. He looked very young and immature. The big boy next door had an explosive temperament. He was not the playboy who drove a yacht and took a group of young models out to sea. cautious.

The announcer quickly finished reading the names of all the Santa Margarita High School players, and then began to introduce the members of the Mu Qiao High School team. Su Yang, as the boss, was the first to appear on the stage, and the students laughed again, as if they were very happy.

After the names of the players of the two teams were reported, the announcer reminded the two sides to shake hands at the halfway line, after all, it was a friendly match.

Su Yang took the lead and stepped forward, and it was Thompson who was oncoming, and they both smiled at the same time.

"I know you, the Michael Jordan of the yellow race, you are invincible single-handedly."

Thompson's tone was somewhat ironic, but his smile was sincere, which should be regarded as a joke.

Su Yang was stunned for a moment: "I also know you, Allen Iverson in Los Angeles, has an extremely strong dribbling ability."

Thompson's smile froze, and he blushed and said, "It turns out I'm so famous, I'm really surprised."

Su Yang gave a look of "I understand", and then shook hands with the Santa Margarita High School players one by one.

After paying tribute, the two principals jointly announced the start of the game, and the referee whistled to remind the players to enter the field.

In terms of lineup, point guard Ron is against Murphy. The height of the two is almost the same, and Murphy is thinner.

Shooting guard Su Yang is against Thompson, Su Yang is at a disadvantage in height and looks stronger.

Small forward Brownie is very close to Todd, and the former has a slight advantage in wingspan.

Power forward Halley and Sidney, both of them belonged to the tank type, and their speed was obviously slower.

Center Taylor vs. Campbell, Taylor has the advantage of height, and Campbell is the kind of jumper.

While the audience was cheering, Taylor won the jump ball by virtue of his height advantage, and Muqiao High School attacked first.

Ron dribbled the ball forward quickly, blinked to the right wing, and raised his hand to Harley at the top of the arc.

Su Yang started from the right bottom corner, ran to Ron along the sideline, used the screen to get rid of Thompson, and went straight to the 45-degree three-point line on the right. Baseline off-ball screens.

The two positions are activated at the same time, and the opponent is obviously a little bit behind, and the opportunity is about to appear.

But in a blink of an eye, Murphy switched defenses and chased after Su Yang, and Sidney also went around the wall and stuck to Brownie again.

Feeling the strength of the runner-up, Su Yang raised his hand to receive the pass from Harley, and immediately twisted his hips and cut inward.

Murphy slid sideways to catch up, sticking to Su Yang like a magnet, and the others also shrank to take up space.

Su Yang sprinted at full speed, and at the same time, his eyes indicated that Taylor's fake block was real, and he played an empty catch to cooperate.

It's a pity that Taylor was a little slow to understand. By the time he stepped up to the wall, all the space under the basket had been squeezed out.

Considering that the attack time is still long, Su Yang slowed down and turned around, slowly took the ball out, and prepared to reorganize the attack.

Murphy immediately gave up chasing closely, as if he was relieved, he stood up straight and walked out, with a particularly high center of gravity
Seeing this situation, Su Yang lowered his shoulders, his feet seemed to be on springs, and broke through Murphy's defense in the blink of an eye.

There were sporadic applause from the sidelines. He took advantage of the situation and started with the ball. He raised the basketball with his right hand and took off, ready to hit the basket.

The basket was unguarded at this time, and Campbell, who was originally in charge of protecting the basket, was still entangled with Taylor in the short corner on the right, but just as Su Yang took off, Campbell flew away like a superman, and raised his right hand to pat the basketball .

The two looked far away, but they were about to face each other in the blink of an eye. No matter how you looked at it, Su Yang was about to be blocked.

There were exclamations in the arena, some students turned their heads and couldn't bear to look directly, and the coach of the opposing team even directed to prepare for a fast break.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang turned his back to Campbell in the air, and changed his layup to an underhand pick.

when!The basketball hit the basket, rebounded twice and fell into the net.

The referee blows his whistle and waves his hands to indicate that the goal is valid, and an additional penalty will be given.

There were cheers in the arena, and Campbell stared at Su Yang as if he had discovered an alien, with a slightly shocked expression.

The extra penalty was easily hit, and Mu Qiao High School led 3-0, and the two teams switched offense and defense.

Murphy dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, passed it to Thompson on the left wing, and then used Campbell to screen and cut inside.

This is the most basic UCLA pass-and-cut tactic. Taylor immediately switched defenses and was delayed, and Ron ran after him.

Murphy was re-attached, the first offensive attempt was declared a failure, and Thompson had to handle the basketball himself.

Su Yang approached decisively, lowered his center of gravity and bent over to press. Thompson hurriedly dribbled the ball to the right.

Campbell moved sideways to set up a wall to cover, Su Yang was blocked and difficult to catch up, and Taylor was too slow to do anything.

There was a big gap in the middle, and Su Yang hurriedly shouted for defense, but Thompson suddenly hit the ball on his foot and fell to the ground.

Su Yang turned and ran forward, happy in his heart: "It seems that Thompson's small dribble is like this..."
