stadium ambition

Chapter 39

The whole team returned to the bench, and Su Yang roughly told everyone what he thought of just now.

After listening to Coach David, he discussed with the teaching assistants, and asked Su Yang and others for their ideas to formulate countermeasures again.

Several people deduced reasonably, and quickly finalized the final countermeasure. David indicated that Su Yang would first explain the arrangement.

"We need to shrink the inside line and force them to make more mid-range and long-range shots by cutting off the space for layups. This is mainly aimed at James Harden. You can see from the video analysis and the few attacks just now that although he can hit the emergency stop Mid-range shots, but the breakthrough layup is his best scoring method at present, and we can use it."

It is the lesser of the two injuries, and Harden’s mid-range deviation has been written in the scouting report. The key point is that he doesn’t like mid-range shots very much. During his NBA career, the most mid-range shots accounted for 34%, and the fewest years accounted for it. 20%.

"Based on the previous basis, we have to boldly double-team Harden and force him to pass the ball. Even if he can easily create the ball to his teammates every time, we don't have to worry too much, because Glasser's mid-range shooting Deviation, and excluding the two inside players, he only wins Jackman, who is of average shooting level, even if they make many hits, it is acceptable."

After Su Yang finished speaking, all the teammates responded one after another.

Coach David went on to say: "Actually, it's a 23-zone defense. Pay attention to the inside stacking and defending against large open spaces."

Su Yang gave a silent thumbs up in his heart. Coach David summed it up accurately. The 23 zone defense is mainly to limit the inside breakthrough, and the risk is the fear of too accurate outside shots. However, Adishia High School's medium and long-range shots are weak, which can be avoided.

The reason why Adishia High School adopts a 32-zone defense is mainly to limit their own outside shots. The risk is that they are easy to be cut in and miss the bottom corner. However, they have two players who are about [-] meters tall, and the bottom corner is difficult to hit. It can also be avoided.

In short, both teams want to use their strengths and avoid weaknesses.

The assistant coach went on to say: "We need to give up offensive rebounds appropriately, and set up a formation by returning to the defense in advance to avoid opponents scoring indiscriminately. This is also the premise for us to realize Su Yang's strategy. Everyone makes their own decisions depending on the situation."

Su Yang and others nodded to express their understanding. It can be said that it is a common defensive routine to improve the quality of defense by giving up offensive rebounds. It is like when Larry Brown led the Bobcats. trick.

David added: "At the offensive end, we need to be faster. We can temporarily forget about the more complicated offensive tactics, and play more simple block and cut coordination to avoid being caught in the opponent's pincer due to complicated running positions. Whenever there is a chance, we can shoot."

This is to give full play to one's own advantages. After all, the three-back lineup has not used the speed to drag down the opponent.

After the countermeasures were arranged, the whole team surrounded and fought in a circle, clapping hands and cheering in unison.

The audience applauded, the cheerleaders waved their hands, and cheers erupted in the arena.

Su Yang turned around and walked into the court, temporarily giving up the idea of ​​defending Harden alone, and winning is the primary goal.

...

The referee whistled to announce the end of the timeout, the game continued, and Mu Qiao kicked off from the sideline of the front court.

Su Yang catches the ball and takes it to the top of the arc. With the help of Ron's cover, he throws away Harden, strides to the 45° three-point line on the right, and then uses Tommy's cover to get rid of Ron who switched defenses. He faces Jackman on the right wing and directly Sinking your shoulders and lowering your waist, you kick the ground vigorously.

Jackman didn't seem to have expected Su Yang to be so difficult, and his reaction was so slow.

Su Yang dodges, and then takes two steps to rush to the short corner. Seeing Mayer's attack, he stops suddenly and makes a mid-range shot.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Taylor tried to fight for a position, but found that he had no advantage, so he immediately turned and returned to defense.

The whole team quickly rushed to the frontcourt, Su Yang and Ron separated the left and right sides at 45°, and took the lead in setting up a 23-zone defensive formation.

Over at Adishia High, Glasser dribbles the ball to the top of the key and flips it to Harden on the left wing.

Su Yang stepped up to grab, and blocked the sideline space on the left side with his body, leaving a high space on the right side.

Harden moved the ball to the right, trying to use Glasser's cover to get rid of it, but Ron stepped forward and delayed.

Su Yang squeezed through the wall and followed closely. He teamed up with Ron to form a double-team. Harden did not hesitate to split the ball.

Glasser caught the ball and crossed the three-point line, was intercepted by Bronny head-on, and immediately threw it high and passed it again.

The basketball glided into the air and fell into Hughes's hands a moment later. Before he could start it, Taylor had already stood under the basket.Hughes subconsciously wanted to throw the ball across to Mayer, but Tommy appeared between the two to interfere, and Bronny was close again.

"Give it to the right wing, give it to the right wing!" Coach Pera shouted to remind him from the sidelines, and Jackman raised his hands to remind him.

As soon as the words fell, Hughes threw the ball vigorously to the right, and the basketball flew out like a cannonball.

Tommy started off, and at the same time Jackman caught the ball, he came to the right elbow.

The two looked at each other, Jackman kicked off the ground, flew towards Tommy, and raised his hand to throw a three-pointer.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Taylor jumped up to grab the rebound, turned around and observed for a moment, and put his hands directly on the right wing.

Tommy catches the ball and rushes forward, Su Yang and Ron follow up with strides, and the three line up three routes from right, middle and left.

Adishia High School retreated, but only three outside players could keep up.

The six faced each other for a while, and Brownie arrived before Hughes, directly breaking the balance.

He set up a wall at the top of the arc to block Glasser, Ron took the opportunity to turn around and cut inside, received a pass from Tommy in the paint, and went straight to the basket.

Harden made an oblique cut from the elbow to supplement the defense, and Su Yang took the opportunity to run to the bottom corner, bowing ahead of time and waiting for the pass.

As he expected, Ron faced Harden's defense and threw the ball over with great confidence.

Su Yang caught the ball and raised his hand, carefully aimed at the basket for a second, ignoring Glasser's ultra-long lunge, he jumped steadily and shot a three-pointer.

bass!Hollow into the net, 17 to 14.

There were cheers in the arena, and the five Su Yang didn't have any celebration, they turned and ran to the front court one after another.

The five continued to form a 23-zone defensive formation, blocking everything from the top of the arc to the paint.

In a blink of an eye, Glasser brought the ball to the top of the arc, turned his head to look at Coach Pella on the sidelines, and seemed to seek instructions.

Coach Pella didn't respond, and Glasser tossed the ball to Harden again, striding forward to set up a screen.

Su Yang and Ron double-teamed again, and Harden passed the ball to Glasser who was left unattended.

The procedure was the same as before, but this time Glasser did not break through. He held the ball and waited for a while, then suddenly threw the ball to the left corner, where there was a Jackman crossing the baseline, and Tommy, who was in charge of defense, encountered Hughes delay.

Brownie stepped forward to switch defenses, but Jackman didn't make a shot, but threw the ball to the right half.

This kind of long pass is particularly dangerous, but he has obviously practiced it, and the ball flies to Mayer with precision.

Taylor's reaction was a bit slow, and Mayer successfully caught the ball, handed it to Harden, and blocked Su Yang at the same time.

Seeing that it was too late to catch up, Su Yang called for a change of defense, and Taylor rushed towards Harden.Su Yang arrived immediately, but Harden didn't make an emergency stop to shoot, nor forced a breakthrough, but threw the ball back to Mayer who cut inside and attacked the basket.

At this time, there was no obstruction under the basket, and Taylor hurriedly turned and returned to the defense, but Mayer dunked with both hands.

17 to 16, the situation is very anxious.

There was obviously a mistake in defense just now, but Su Yang didn't think too much, raised his hand to receive the pass from Taylor, and immediately accelerated his sprint.

Reaching the top of the arc in three seconds, seeing that the opponent has not yet set up a defensive formation, he decisively drives straight in.

Mayer and Hughes seemed to have miscommunicated, and the two contracted at the same time, and Harden was also chasing behind.

Su Yang continued to rush forward, completely attracting the defense's attention, and suddenly hit the ground to split the ball.

Brownie received the ball from a short corner, made a wide-open mid-range shot, and the basketball smashed into the net.

19 to 16, fast break benefits are obvious, but it is a bit exhausting.

Offensive and defensive transition, Adishia kicked off from the bottom line.

Coach Pella yelled at Glasser, and waved his hands to signal, as if to arrange something.

Glasser made an OK gesture, turned around and handed the ball to Harden, and then directed everyone to pull away.

The frontcourt paint area was cleared, Harden dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and Su Yang headed up.

Thinking it was a one-on-one match, Harden passed the ball to Taylor, and rushed over to do hand-to-hand cooperation.

Su Yang squeezed through the wall to catch up, and stuck to Harden again in the elbow area, raising his hands to interfere with his sight.

Thinking about it, Harden took advantage of the situation and turned his back, pouted his buttocks to use force to separate the space, and slowly sat down.

"Ah, this..." Su Yang was ignorant, and was hit face-to-back by Harden performing a unique skill.

The power gap is a bit large, and it is completely unstoppable, and the whole person walks involuntarily.

There was no other way but to attack, Su Yang beckoned, and Taylor stepped forward immediately.

Harden pulled the ball away, followed by a lob pass, obviously trying to create an alley-oop.

Mayer received the ball smoothly, but just turned around and took a step, and knocked down Bronny who was standing in advance.

The referee whistled for an offensive foul and gave Mu Qiao the right to the bottom line in the backcourt.

Su Yang pulled up Brownie who was lying on the ground, and patted his shoulder to pay tribute. The foul this time was a bit sharp.

"He's too tall, he probably didn't see me." Brownie smiled happily.

Offensive and defensive transition, Ron dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

The referee kicked off the ball and failed to form a fast break, and had to face the 32-zone defense of Adishia High School.

Su Yang took the basketball, thought for a moment, waved to his teammates to open the space, and prepared to single-handedly challenge Harden.

The audience stood up and watched, cheered and cheered in unison, and Harden put his defensive posture seriously.

Su Yang made a three-threat posture with his left foot as the axis, and after a while of testing, he stepped forward with his right foot and stepped down the ball.

Seeing that Harden turned slightly sideways and didn't respond much, Su Yang suddenly came up with inspiration and decided to push his right foot on the ground and step forward with his left foot to take off. Raising his hand was a standard "Curry style" single-action shot. Just push the ball out.

This way of exerting force is different from the conventional routine. Harden didn't have time to react for a while, and it was too late when he jumped off in a hurry.

bass!A three-pointer went into the net, 22 to 16.

Cheers broke out in the arena, and Harden froze in place with a slightly shocked expression: "How did you do it?"

Before Su Yang answered, coach Pera asked for a timeout, and Harden turned and left in a hurry.

Su Yang shrugged, walked quickly back to the bench, and stood around Coach David with his teammates.

"Today's game is very important to us, so I temporarily decided that the main players will play the whole game. Do you have any opinions?" David looked around the team with solicitation in his eyes, and did not force the arrangement .

The implication is very clear, Adishia High School's lineup is too strong, and I don't want to lose the lead because of the substitute.

Gay and other substitutes expressed their agreement one after another, thinking that this game is not bad, everyone can understand.

"Then please make preparations for the main players." David said, "But if you feel too tired, you must tell me, and I may make adjustments based on observation, understand?"

The five of Su Yang nodded, it doesn't matter if they don't rest, it's only half an hour.
