Chapter 12 The first round of competition

The fat man No. 96 waved his hand, and called Ying Xiong and the thin man No. 95 to come over, and then said in a commanding tone with the appearance of the boss: "You two, you should be able to play games, right?"

The skinny man No. 95 made a handsome pose, and said first: "Of course, we often play this kind of 3v3 bullfight in private, nothing special." Ying Xiong didn't speak, but just nodded.

Fatty No. 96 issued orders with a blank face: "Oh, if you can play, this is the best. Listen, you two will be in charge of defense later, one by one, entangle each other, and leave the offense to me. .”

I don't know if it was because of the "pretentious power" of the fat man No. 96, or because he really thought that the opponent's strength could crush the opponent on the offensive end by himself. The thin man No. 95 immediately showed his favor to him: "Wait, I will organize the ball and score. I'll leave it to you." The implication is that Ying Xiong is in charge of serving and defending.

Ying Xiong despises these two people very much, not to mention that everyone doesn't know each other, and he doesn't know his own strength, but just assigning tasks so simply, these two people are obviously not good at playing 3v3.But in order not to cause internal strife before the game, he still nodded and said: "I have no problem, just do as you said!"

Seeing that Ying Xiong readily agreed, fat man No. 96 and skinny man No. 95 began to discuss with great interest the specific offensive tactics for the next game.Ying Xiong was on the side, not expressing any opinions, just listening to them quietly.

Ying Xiong also has his own understanding of Shao Ziqiang's choice of 3-on-3 half-court bullfighting as the way to select new players.In his opinion, if a 5-on-5 full-court match is used, for these temporary teams present, most of them have never played a full-court match. confusion.In this case, no one can be selected in the end.However, if a 1-on-1 single-handed selection method is used, the matchup of people in different positions will not make much sense, and the passing ability, rebounding ability, and teamwork ability will not be seen.So based on reality, 3v3 may not be the best selection method, but it is currently the most suitable.

99 people, in groups of 3, were divided into 33 groups, fighting against each other.Of course, the venue is limited, and in view of the fact that coach Shao Ziqiang has to watch the game in person to assess the level and ability of the players, only one half of the venue is used for the game.

Shao Ziqiang, such an awesome character, watch his own game in person!What an exciting thing for boys who love basketball.It's like everyone likes Jay Chou very much. If Jay Chou came to listen to his singing, it would be a rare thing.

Everyone participating in the competition on the court was full of enthusiasm. Whether it was offense or defense, they were all 100% devoted. They tried their best at the beginning of the game, and the physical confrontation was very intense.

Because the physical confrontation on the field was too fierce, Shao Ziqiang was worried that someone might be injured, so he asked Cai Guanzhong to stop the game, and emphasized: "Dear students in the competition, let me emphasize again, our selection is not necessarily the last one. The team will be selected. What I want to see is your potential and understanding of the game. If someone makes small moves during the game and intentionally hurts the opponent, I will stop the game in time and sentence this team out! I hope everyone will work hard, Compete fairly, give full play to your strengths, and don't take the results too seriously! That's all I'm going to say, everyone, please continue to compete!"

Shao Ziqiang's words made the contestants on the field restrain their actions a lot. Although the confrontation was still fierce, they didn't make defensive moves and didn't attack people, and the fouls were not as severe as before.

Ying Xiong was sitting alone in the stands, watching the players on the court. The skinny guy No. 95 and the fat guy No. 96 were chatting about their favorite NBA stars.

In a 3-on-3 game, the goal is still very fast.In a blink of an eye, 5 groups of matches have ended.Although Shao Ziqiang said that the final selection may not necessarily be the last one.But most of the people present knew in their hearts that the team that was eliminated in the second round or even the first round was almost impossible to be selected in the end.Therefore, those who win are very happy, and those who lose are very disappointed, full of unwillingness and annoyance.

The game continued, and after half an hour, it was finally Ying Xiong's turn to play.Opposing Yingxiong's team is the 91-93 team.Ying Xiong glanced at his opponent, didn't pay much attention, and began to take off his shirt, move his body, and prepare for the competition.

应雄所在队的对手是3个身高都不超过180cm的，但是都不低于170cm的人。3人从身高上看上去很平均。3个人其中有两个（91号、93号）比较瘦，一个相对强壮些（92号）。

In Ying Xiong's view, although a person's strength is related to his height and weight, it is difficult to judge the opponent's true strength just by observing his height and weight.These three people are about the same height, so only when they fight can they know the real strength of each other.

The fat man on the 96th called the skinny man on the 95th and Ying Xiong to his side, and told him in the tone of the captain: "Number 94, you defend the 91st, 95th, you guard the 93rd, and I guard the 92nd. The basket and offense are left to I, proceed according to our previously discussed plan."

The skinny man No. 95 jumped on the spot, turned his neck, adjusted his armguards, and said confidently: "No problem, leave No. 93 to me!"

Ying Xiong also nodded and said, "Okay!"

Before the start of the game, each side sends a player to decide who will attack first by means of finger-guessing. Fatty No. 96 volunteered to represent Yingxiong and his team to guess punches—and lost...

With the two sides on the field, Cai Guanzhong blew the whistle to start the game.

Unlike the 5-on-5 full-court game, in the 3-on-3 game, the defense is basically man-to-man defense, and there are few changes.Because there are few people on the field, if you use zone defense, you will not be able to defend at all, and there will be no good effect.

Game start.Teams 91-93 will attack first.

No. 91 served to No. 93, No. 93 dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and No. 95 skinny man immediately posted it.At this time, No. 92 came to respond, and No. 93 passed the ball to No. 92.But Fatty No. 96 of the Yingxiong team didn't follow, but stayed under the basket and couldn't come out.The opponent's No. 92 saw that the defender couldn't come out, so he took a small step 45 degrees within the three-point line and shot.

Ying Xiong frowned slightly. Although defending the basket is very important, he didn't defend for 3 seconds in 3v3, and the opponent was not a professional player, so he didn't have that good shooting stability.But letting go of other people's vacancies in this way, without even interfering with interference, is it different from not letting go?As long as the opponent is not completely out of the basket, this kind of wide open shot will always make a shot.

Fortunately, No. 92's open shot missed, and No. 96 fat man of the Yingxiong team easily received the rebound. Thin guy No. 95 came up to catch the ball, and quickly dribbled the ball beyond the 3-point line.

The opponent also asked No. 93 to defend the skinny No. 95, and the defender's matchup was the same as that of the Yingxiong team. Fatty No. 96 opened his hands inside and asked for the ball. Thin guy #95 made a crotch dribble, a breakthrough feint, and hit the ground, and the ball went to fat guy #96 in the low post. After Fatty No. 96 got the ball, he turned around and wanted to shoot.Unexpectedly, the opponent's No. 92 is very tough, and has been firmly against his lower plate, not giving him room to shoot. Fatty No. 96 squeezed a few more times with his body, trying to get rid of it, but it didn't work.

Fatty No. 96 was very angry, his eyes were cold, and his face was full of anger. Thin man No. 95 immediately stepped forward to comfort him.

Switch possession. No. 93 sent the ball, No. 91 took control of the ball, Ying Xiong lowered his center of gravity and defended it. Facing the corresponding hero, No. 91 suddenly accelerated, and broke through with his right hand.Ying Xiong saw the opponent's offensive intentions, did not take the risk of stealing, kept his center of gravity, did not lose his position, and kept in front of the opponent to defend. No. 91 did not shake off Yingxiong, and held the ball with both hands, resulting in a dead ball.

No. 92 immediately stepped forward to respond, and No. 91 quickly passed the ball to him.Fatty No. 96 of the Yingxiong team didn't follow. After No. 92 got the ball, he dribbled two steps inside. Seeing that the opponent still didn't defend him, he shot near the free throw line.But his luck was really bad, he continued to miss shots...

But fortunately, his shot hit the edge of the backboard, and the ball rebounded into his hands by accident.This time, he didn't miss the opportunity and made a mid-range shot.

Teams 91-93 led 1:0.

The side that scored the goal continues to serve. No. 91 served to No. 93, and No. 92 repeated the old trick and pulled to the outside to respond. The fat man No. 96 of the Yingxiong team still did not come out to defend. No. 92 didn't hesitate at all, and the CIC continued to hit.

It quickly took a 2:0 lead.

Ying Xiong was very speechless. It is not impossible to bet that the opponent does not shoot to protect the basket, but the problem is that the opponent obviously has a shot. If you continue to let the opponent shoot like this, once the opponent's touch improves, it will not be easy to defend later.

No. 91 continues to serve and No. 93 receives the ball.Exactly the same as before, No. 92 came out to respond, still the same routine as before.The opponent is not stupid, with such a good offensive method, it is impossible not to use it.

But just when No. 93 was about to pass the ball to No. 92, Ying Xiong suddenly gave up his defender, accelerated, rushed to No. 93's defensive route, and broke the basketball with lightning speed.Before the opponent could react, he controlled the ball and slid outside the 3-point line, then dribbled the ball deftly behind his back, and accelerated directly to the basket.

No. 91 failed to keep up with Ying Xiong, and No. 92 rushed to the basket to defend Ying Xiong's cut.

Ying Xiong ignored the opponent's defense and rushed directly to the basket for a layup.

No. 92 tried his best to block Yingxiong by jumping high.At this moment, Ying Xiong passed the ball in the air to Fatty No. 96 who had been staying in the penalty area before. Fatty No. 96 got the ball and hit the board.

"Wow - amazing!" The people watching the game exclaimed.Just now Ying Xiong went from stealing the ball to cutting to the layup without looking at the pass, all in one go, it didn't look like a novice would make an action at all.

1:2!The Yingxiong team recovered a goal!
