Chapter 2 Lingchuan Gemini

Cai Guanzhong didn't dare to directly deny Shao Ziqiang's point of view, but he still had no confidence in his words: "Ying Xiong is very good. He is the best defender in the entire Nanming County. Li Jianwu and Ying Xiong don't play in the same position. Li Jianwu's score was higher in this game, and in this game alone, Li Jianwu is not weak." After speaking, he was even more uncertain and dared not look directly at Shao Ziqiang.

Shao Ziqiang said sternly: "It doesn't mean whoever scores the most points must be the best performer. On the offensive end, Ying Xiong is on the court, afraid of his breakthrough, and the opponent keeps shrinking the penalty area. When defending the pick-and-roll, the opponent would rather let Li Jianwu open. Follow Ying Xiong, and even double-team him. On the defensive end, he has accurate positioning, skilled defensive skills, quick shots, and proficient in stealing rebounds. Of course, I am not sure whether the first junior high school guards 23 defenses to limit Ying Xiong Breakthrough, but Yingxiong's influence on the field is the biggest among the players on the field."

Shao Ziqiang gave Ying Xiong great affirmation, even a high degree of affirmation.As a character like him, he would praise a junior high school student so much, which really shows that Yingxiong's strength cannot be underestimated.

Cai Guanzhong's face was cloudy and uncertain, more of a look of helplessness.

After all, Shao Ziqiang was an old man, and he had never met anyone before, so he naturally expected that Cai Guanzhong would be embarrassed when he heard what he said, so he comforted him and said, "Li Jianwu is a very good insider, and he is the best among the special recruits this time."

Cai Guanzhong thought he had heard wrong.This Shao Ziqiang sometimes said that Li Jianwu was outstanding, and then praised Yingxiong, what kind of medicine was he selling in his gourd.

Shao Ziqiang continued to explain tactics to Cai Guanzhong: "The No. 23 Junior High School uses a 23-zone defense. The most feared thing about a 3-zone defense is the big man who can support the free throw line. Li Jianwu can support and shoot. When he gets Ying Xiong's defense at the free throw line When passing the ball, the opponent’s center chooses not to raise the ball. At this time, the two players guarding the free throw line have to defend the three players from Lingchuan Middle School. There must be one player in the open position. Lost Li Jianwu, Li Jianwu missed the shot, and later, Li Jianwu made a shot. No. 23 Junior High School didn’t dare to let it go, and let someone else go. Now other people have also shot, and No. [-] Junior High School’s center can’t stay under the basket Yes. It was chosen, and the result was a loss of inside and outside, and the [-] defenses fell apart."

Cai Guanzhong's expression softened a lot, and he asked: "Is there no other way?"

Shao Ziqiang said with a smile: "When your strength is not enough to 1 defense 1 to limit the opponent, you can only choose flanking. If you flank, you will naturally open up. If the opponent plays the ball fast enough, you must play more and less, open shots or layups. This is a kind of game. Choosing who to let go is a very difficult choice for No. [-] Junior High School, especially when everyone in the Lingchuan Middle School team has a basket."

Cai Guanzhong asked: "Then if Lingchuan Middle School is not allowed to collectively outside the line today, does it mean that No. [-] Junior High School will win today?"

Shao Ziqiang said: "I can't say that, but what is certain is that the goal of No. 23 Junior High School's defensive strategy today has been achieved. However, defense can only be limited, and it is impossible to let the opponent lose a point. If you can't play well on offense , the result is still unknown. In addition, when the opponent's outside line is inaccurate, the [-]rd defensive position is easy to use. But if the opponent defends well, you can't attack and score, and if the opponent counterattacks, there is no time to stand. Defensive formation It's going to be messy."

Cai Guanzhong said with a smile: "In the final analysis, the team with good offense and defense will win the final victory!"

Shao Ziqiang nodded and said: "This is the most ideal situation, and it is also the situation with the least suspense in the game."

Cai Guanzhong asked: "According to Coach Shao, is this also the case for today's match?"

Shao Ziqiang nodded lightly, and said: "Whether it is offense or defense, Lingchuan Middle School is one level higher. Not to mention that Lingchuan Middle School also has two core players, Li Jianwu and Ying Xiong, one inside and one outside."

Hearing Shao Ziqiang praise Li Jianwu, Cai Guanzhong was very happy.

While the two were talking, the first half of the game was over, the score was 42:24, and Lingchuan Middle School led by a big score.In the first half of the game, Li Jianwu from Lingchuan Middle School scored 20 points and 7 rebounds, almost catching up with No. 12 Junior Middle School's team in scoring, and became a big offensive weapon.And Ying Xiong, unknowingly, has scored 8 points and [-] assists.

During the intermission, the organizer let the cheerleaders dance on the field to enliven the atmosphere.Due to the disparity in the score, the student fans of No. [-] Junior High School were a little discouraged, and the cheering and cheering was not as good as it was at the beginning of the game.In contrast, the supporters of Lingchuan Middle School were in high spirits, cheering like "Lingchuan will win" can be heard endlessly.

Cai Guanzhong handed Shao Ziqiang a piece of fruit, and then asked, "Coach Shao, do you think there is still hope for No. [-] Junior High School in the second half?"

Shao Ziqiang said: "Competitive sports, until the last second, the result cannot be said to be determined. Of course there is hope, but it is very slim."

Cai Guanzhong asked: "If you were the coach of No. [-] Junior High School, how would you arrange it?"

Shao Ziqiang said: "Continue with the defensive strategy in the first half. Then—wait!"

"Wait?"

Shao Ziqiang said: "Wait for the opponent's hand feeling to drop, wait for the opponent to take the lead and relax, and your own hand feeling will explode. That is the only chance."

Cai Guanzhong said: "Why not change the defensive strategy, Li Jianwu has already scored so many shots in the first half?"

Shao Ziqiang said: "It's better to be defeated by one person than to be defeated by everyone. It's a downwind game. If you bet on one person's hand feeling, the probability of winning the bet will be higher."

Cai Guanzhong nodded in agreement, and praised Shao Ziqiang's words again.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.

After watching for a while, Cai Guanzhong turned to Shao Ziqiang and said, "Coach Shao, No. [-] Junior High School has switched to man-marking, while Lingchuan Middle School is still sticking to the defensive strategy of the first half."

Shao Ziqiang said: "It's understandable for them to do this. The side behind is eager to change the situation on the field. Of course, what they can do is to seek changes themselves. And the side in the lead will not change, because the initiative is in their hands. inside."

Cai Guanzhong said: "No. [-] Junior High School's defense is very active, it seems that the intensity is much stronger than in the first half."

Shao Ziqiang said: "What surprised me the most was not this, but Lingchuan Middle School's response. They seemed to have been prepared for the opponent's counterattack, and they played more calmly and steadily. They did not attack rashly, and they were always looking for open positions. The defensive end Concentration hasn't dropped, there's no sign of letting up. This game is pretty much sealed."

Cai Guanzhong said: "No. 4 Junior High School has already scored [-] points, and the momentum is so strong, while Lingchuan Middle School has not yet scored!"

Shao Ziqiang said: "The No. 14 Junior High School's style of play can't last long. If the physical strength drops, the game will end early. Let's see, we are still [-] points behind!"

Cai Guanzhong watched the game intently.

On the field, this time, Lingchuan Middle School will attack.Defender Ying Xiong holds the ball at the top of the arc and observes the opponent's defensive changes.Li Jianwu came forward to cover Ying Xiong.Worried about being beaten too much, the center of No. [-] Junior High School immediately followed him out.

Thanks to Li Jianwu's burly frame, his screen quality is very high.After the person defending Yingxiong was covered, Yingxiong broke through with the ball.

The center forward of No. [-] Junior High School had no choice but to switch to Ying Xiong.Ying Xiong played big, and with one change of direction, he was one position ahead of the opponent's center forward, and he passed the opponent if he accelerated again.Because the No. [-] Junior High School is man-to-man, the basket is empty, and the wings cannot be retracted, so they can only watch Yingxiong make an empty basket.

Ying Xiong easily accepted 2 points cleanly and handsomely, and the girls from Lingchuan Middle School in the stands continued to scream.

"Ying Xiong—Come on—"

"Ying Xiong—ox—"

"The hero of Lingchuan—"

"Ying Xiong - I love you -"

——There are all kinds of confessions.

Ying Xiong is the captain of the school team of Lingchuan No. [-] Middle School. He is a good player and handsome.

Amid the shouts of girls from Lingchuan Middle School, No. [-] Junior Middle School didn't know if it was affected by it, and made frequent mistakes.And Ying Xiong was not polite, and naturally accepted all the big gifts from his opponent with a smile.

With Ying Xiong's series of scoring and assists, the point difference instantly exceeded 20 points.

The team's momentum was sluggish, and it was about to be blown up. The coach of No. [-] Junior High School had no choice but to request a timeout.

After the timeout, No. [-] Junior High School chose to flank Ying Xiong.

However, Yingxiong's ball was very fast, and the opponent's flank attack gave him a chance to show off his passing skills.As Li Jianwu and other teammates scored one after another, the defense of No. [-] Junior High School was stretched out like paper.

There was absolutely no suspense in the game...

After the third quarter, Lingchuan Middle School led by a big score of 65:32.

Cai Guanzhong excitedly said to Shao Ziqiang: "Coach Shao, you are too good, and your predictions are too accurate! The trend of the game is completely developing in the direction you guessed. You really deserve to be a professional basketball coach, I admire you!"

For Cai Guanzhong's praise, Shao Ziqiang was very calm, just smiled and said: "Mr. Cai is over the top! Mr. Cai chose Li Jianwu, he is very good!"

Cai Guanzhong smiled happily.

Shao Ziqiang asked: "This Yingxiong, did Teacher Cai know much about him before?"

Cai Guanzhong put away his smile and said seriously: "Ying Xiong, I watched his game last year. When we came to Nanming County to select special recruits last year, I watched Ying Xiong's game."

Shao Ziqiang signaled Cai Guanzhong to continue.

Cai Guanzhong continued: "Ying Xiong is a guard with strong scoring ability and can pass the ball. Not to mention the Lingchuan Middle School team, even in the entire Nanming County, he is also one of the best guards."

Shao Ziqiang nodded in agreement: "Ying Xiong has a mature style of play that does not match his age, excellent physical talent, ball handling skills, shooting skills, passing skills and even defense. They are all outstanding. What's more valuable is that his Big picture and superhuman intelligence."

Cai Guanzhong questioned: "Ball dealer?"

Shao Ziqiang nodded and continued to explain: "It's basketball IQ. It sounds mysterious, but it is very important. People with high basketball IQ can judge the situation in the game, know when to do what, and can always find their opponents. The weak underbelly of defense can give full play to its own advantages according to the form on the field."

Cai Guanzhong asked: "Can golfers train?"

Shao Ziqiang said with a smile: "It's difficult. It can be improved through training and learning. However, it is impossible to have a fundamental improvement, similar to IQ. In the final analysis, this is talent."

Cai Guanzhong asked anxiously: "How does Coach Shao feel about Li Jianwu's golf business?"

Shao Ziqiang said: "He is very good among big men."

Cai Guanzhong let out a long breath, and then asked, "What about Ying Xiong?"

Shao Ziqiang smiled and said, "Ying Xiong...he is a genius."
