whirlwind basketball

Chapter 195 Youth Competition (10)

Suddenly stopped, Jia Siqi, who couldn't stop her body, turned her head desperately and saw the basketball flying high from the opponent's hand and flying towards the basket in front of her.Will you go in?The basketball passed through the net and fell gently.

in!

A simple jump shot with an emergency stop, but in Jia Siqi's eyes, there was a feeling of hairiness.In this case, he even chose to shoot a jump shot. Is he so confident in his shooting?
After finishing the shot, Li Yifan didn't even take a second look after confirming that the basketball had entered the basket. He turned around and quickly returned to defense.

A quick counterattack only took three seconds.Concise, smooth, fast and effective, is this the youth training team trained by coach Wang Tao?
"beautiful!"

Look at the positional offense of the youth training team.After Brazil's attack was successful, they quickly returned to the defense. There was no chance for a fast break, and the youth training team did not slow down.Long Xun quickly advanced with the ball, and the youth players flooded in and penetrated into Brazil's defense.Long Xun passed the ball, and it was Li Yifan who caught the ball again!How could it make you succeed repeatedly, two Brazilian players quickly double-teamed him.

Faced with the double-teaming of two players, Li Yifan remained calm and calm. "Let the opponent pay for the double-teaming" is a principle that an excellent defender must keep in mind, and it is the voice most often heard in coach Wang Tao's training. "Pa, pa" dribbled the ball behind his back, his swaying body turned suddenly, and the basketball in his hand shook with his right ankle to draw a straight line towards Long Xun.

Four against three!The situation suddenly became clear, and the youth training team on the right side of the basket formed a local advantage with a four-on-three dribble—the rapid movement of the youth training team in the two dribbles just now has completely opened the distance from Li Yifan.Long Xun received the ball, and the moment the basketball touched his hands, he had already found Jiang Dongyu who was in neutral.The ball was passed as soon as it was touched, and the basketball was handed over to Jiang Dongyu. The Brazilian team responded quickly and quickly. "Boom!" The basket shook violently—a heavy dunk!It was Zhang Shaolong who dunked under the basket. Three-on-four always had to leave one person free. How could Zhang Shaolong, who received Jiang Dongyu's pass, miss the opportunity to dunk without defense?

This is to make the opponent's double team pay the price!With two offensive playmakers, Li Yifan and Long Xun, coach Wang Tao can formulate various tactics.Li Yifan's continuous outstanding individual performances made Brazil have to strengthen its defense. If one person can't stop it, naturally two people double-team.At this time, the power of coach Wang Tao's double guard tactics came to the fore.Another defender, Long Xun, can completely send Li Yifan's pass to the most appropriate place.Although coach Wang Tao's instruction to Li Yifan was to score, how could Li Yifan, who was born as a point guard, not know the importance of passing the ball.Passing the ball has already been integrated into his blood as an instinct, which coach Wang Tao firmly believes.

"Beautiful!" (Here it comes again!) The voice of praise on the TV sounded again, "Fast pass, exquisite coordination, the attack of the youth training team is really beautiful!" The commentary consultant's praise sounded a bit dry .Passing the ball and cooperating can be seen by anyone.But a deeper level involves tactics. The tactics of the youth training team on the court feel familiar, but when you think about it carefully, it is specious. The commentators and consultants dare not make a conclusion for a while.So I could only cheer a few words dryly.

When the offense and defense were switched again and it was the turn of the youth training team to attack again, the fans and commentators all opened their eyes wide, wanting to see how the youth training team would attack this time.

Long Xun still passed the ball to Li Yifan, and Li Yifan controlled the ball outside the three-point line.A Brazilian defender pressed the defense, and no one stepped forward to double-team.Double-teaming opponents outside the three-point line will create a huge gap for the inside defense, especially if the opponent is not only a three-point shooter but also a master passer.

Are you alone?Li Yifan, who was in possession of the ball, curled his lips, and after two dribbles, the figure who suddenly accelerated has rushed past the defenders. Fatty bounced up in front of the basket and played singles with his back to the basket. Fatty Zhang made an easy hook throw and threw the ball into the basket—a standard center forward move!

Fatty Zhang's moves around the basket were wonderful, but it was Li Yifan's wonderful pass that caused the goal.On the court, in front of the TV, a fan can see it!

"Beautiful..." the applause continued, "It's really good, the breakthrough is good, the pass is even better, this ball is really beautiful. Li Yifan who made this goal is really good, I really can't see that he is just a 19 A boy who is 19 years old. He is really outstanding..." The commentator's applause finally had something to say.On TV, that [-]-year-old boy was really outstanding.

However, they still did not understand the specific tactics of the youth training team on the field.

The game on the field did not stop temporarily because of the commentator's cheers.After Brazil's attack was successful, the offense and defense changed positions again.It is still positional offense and defense.This time it wasn't just the fans in front of the TV who opened their eyes wide.The youth training team played wonderful offenses again and again, and the American fans on the court were also looking forward to it.

Long Xun controlled the ball, and Brazil went around to defend Li Yifan to prevent Long Xun from passing the ball to him. "Swoosh!" The ball was passed to Jiang Dongyu. Jiang Dongyu, who was moving fast under his feet, did not stop the basketball in his hand. The ball was passed to other people immediately, and the entire youth training team was moving quickly.Fast passing, the basketball moves much faster than the Brazilian defenders.Accurate and fast passing constantly mobilized Brazil's defensive players, making them exhausted.As soon as the gap appears, the pass will follow.Since all five players of the youth training team have the ability to shoot and score, the Brazilian players dare not fully open their positions even if they want to defend against double-teams with the ball.Such passes did not last too many times, and the basketball was handed over to Li Yifan.Fatty Zhang, who was being defended by the opponent's center, suddenly gave up his position at the basket, and at the same time set a cover for Zhang Shaolong.Only the basket remained in front of Zhang Shaolong. "Crack!" The basketball came immediately, "Shua!" The sound of wiping the net and entering the basket.

It took only a dozen seconds for the entire offense to start from the backcourt to the time the basketball was sent to the basket.Smooth, fast, effective, wonderful, the endless cheers on the sidelines can be seen the wonderful degree of this ball.From the pass, to the run, to the pick-and-roll, to the final shot, there's a flow that even the most amateur fan can feel.

With ease, the basketball was sent into the opponent's basket.

"It's really beautiful!" The commentator cheered in a roaring voice, "The performance of the youth training team today is really beautiful. The goal just now is definitely the most exciting goal of the youth training team in the past ten years. The ball is definitely the result of tactical cooperation. It is fast, accurate, and flexible. How many years have I not seen such a performance by the youth training team in the World Series. It is so beautiful!"

Yes, how many years have you not seen the youth training team perform like this in the World Series?
The rise of American basketball has attracted the attention of the world. Basketball, which is helpless against American-style opponents, finally realized that perhaps American basketball is more suitable for us.

Fatty Zhang's performance in the last game against the US team let the media and fans know why coach Wang Tao chose him to replace the "Twin Towers".So far, there is no doubt about the decision of coach Wang Tao.The fans only had surprises for Fatty Zhang and Li Yifan.

But bigger is now the bigger surprise.On the court, the stormy offense of the youth training team trained by coach Wang Tao completely destroyed Brazil's defense. The combination of inside and outside blossomed on all sides, and basketballs were sent into the opponent's basket time and time again.Actively scrambling, moving quickly, and double-teaming to help defend, the defense of the youth training team is not a solid wall but also a mobile malloc.Brazil's shooting rate of less than 40.00% is enough to illustrate the power of the youth team's defense.

Being able to recognize talents with a keen eye, and even more able to use talents appropriately, the fans are all convinced by Coach Wang Tao at this time.

In fact, although the youth training team coached by Wang Tao is playing as a whole at this moment, it is not completely American style. In terms of tactics, it reproduces more of the "quick and fast" style of the youth training team back then.Based on the core defender with outstanding personal ability, based on the team's fast and active running coordination, the internal and external integration is fully blooming.The full attack power of a team composed of five shooters is absolutely astonishing, and the performance of the youth training team on the field at this moment is absolutely convincing.There is no such thing as "total offense and total defense" on the basketball court, but the current attack of the youth training team can be described as a full-scale offense.

Coach Wang Tao completed this set of theory combining traditional and American-style tactics many years ago, but it is only today that he has the opportunity to truly show it. The reason is nothing else. The staffing of this set of tactics is really harsh.At least in the current view, a bit harsh.In this youth training team, Zhang Fatty, who has a tough style, is the cornerstone of inside defense; Zhang Shaolong can pass and shoot, and his existence is an important link between inside and outside; Jiang Dongyu is the sharpest edge of the youth training team. The main scorer of the training team; the importance of Long Xun, the number one point guard, is self-evident.But among them, Li Yifan, a swinging talent between the defender and the forward, is the most important pawn.In coach Wang Tao's set of tactics, Li Yifan is not only a stable firepower point, coach Wang Tao pays more attention to his strong impact on the inside and his excellent pass organization ability.It can be said that he is the core player of coach Wang Tao's tactics.Jiang Dongyu, Long Xun, Fatty Zhang, and Zhang Shaolong are all players who can be replaced, but Li Yifan's replacement means that the tactics have changed.

A player in this position must have the singles ability of a small forward, the organizational passing ability of a point guard, and the accurate shooting ability of a shooting guard.It sounds really harsh, but in simple terms, he is a point guard with excellent offensive power.With the development of modern basketball, the boundaries of various positions on the court are increasingly blurred. Although there are not many monsters like Magic Johnson who can play from point guard to center forward, there are not a few swingers between forward and guard.It is only in such a player that it is so rare.In the more than ten years when the concept of "basketball is a sport for elders" ruled, basketball, which is eager for quick success and quick benefits, completely ignored the training of guards.Excellent defenders like Long Xun are rare among young players.

Coach Wang Tao once wanted to make Long Xun and Jiang Dongyu the core defenders in his tactics. After putting them in the youth team for two years, coach Wang Tao knew he had failed.Jiang Dongyu's desire to shoot is much higher than the consciousness of passing. Although Long Xun has good organizational skills and shooting ability, he lacks the impact on the inside.Putting his eyes on this football world, coach Wang Tao has not found a young player who meets his requirements.Just when coach Wang Tao was discouraged, Li Yifan, who came back from the ordinary league, caught his eyes. Isn't this the player he was looking for?Balanced offense and defense, comprehensive skills, speed and impact, although the height is temporarily short, but the excellent jumping is enough to make up for it.This is simply tailor-made for your own tactics!But coach Wang Tao, who calmed down after the excitement, couldn't help laughing. Taking a 19-year-old boy as the core of his tactics, he was really crazy.Although he said this to himself, such thoughts seemed to take root in Coach Wang Tao's mind.When Li Yifan was called into the youth training team, seeing Li Yifan's increasingly perfect game skills, coach Wang Tao could no longer convince himself to give up, he must be crazy if he is crazy!In the game, Li Yifan's tactical core position is specifically reflected in: apart from Long Xun, the point guard, he is the player who touches the ball the most times and holds the ball for the longest time.All the players on the field follow this principle when passing the ball: the first priority of passing the ball is Li Yifan, as long as he has a gap, the ball must be passed to him.When Li Yifan is in possession of the ball, he can cooperate tactically, fight alone, pass the ball and score by himself. Coach Wang Tao did not give him any restrictions.Giving Li Yifan such freedom with the professionalism of coach Wang Tao is definitely not blind laissez-faire.He is convinced that Li Yifan's ability to read the game has surpassed Long Xun's. He will see when to pass the ball and when to break through in the game better than anyone else.On the court, Li Yifan's performance did not disappoint coach Wang Tao. The youth training team with him as the core destroyed Brazil's defense time and time again. The youth training players can always shoot easily in the open.Facing an unguarded rim, the youth team's shooting percentage will not be worse than any team.

The youth training team is centered on the 19-year-old defender, and the Brazilian coach finally sees it clearly.

Now that the game has been played, not only the Brazilian coaches have seen it clearly, but also the TV consultants have finally seen it clearly.

"Take the 19-year-old Li Yifan as the core of the tactics!" The exclamation shocked all the fans.

It can't be blamed for their poor eyesight. For more than ten years, national teams at all levels have used the inside center as the core of their tactics. Coach Wang Tao's style of play has completely subverted the experience of the past decade.With 19-year-old Li Yifan as the core, it is a joke like a fairy tale, and no one will believe such a thing.

But it happened, and it worked like never before.Destroyed, invincible, mercury flooding the ground, blooming on all sides, combining internal and external, flexible and flexible, you can use any words to describe the offense of the youth team on the field.

As long as you can win, the fans will not care what tactics you use. It is the loser's practice to review the gains and losses of tactics.Now the fans will only cheer loudly.The voices of the two commentators on the TV are getting louder and louder.

The tactical change started from today's game, and Brazil was completely caught off guard.In fact, even if they knew the tactics of the youth training team in advance, Brazil might not take it seriously.Brazil was losing ground on the court, and the Brazilian coach on the sidelines naturally couldn't let the situation continue to deteriorate.After running out of the only timeout left in the first half, Brazil adjusted its tactics.

Any tactic has weaknesses and can be cracked.Coach Wang Tao's tactics are no exception, but it is clear that today's Brazil has not found a way to crack it.After readjusting the tactics, the game situation remained unchanged, and the rhythm continued to be controlled by the youth training team.At the end of the first half, the youth training team pulled the difference between the two sides to fifteen points.

In the second half, Brazil still hadn't found an effective restraint method. The game continued to be controlled by the youth training team. At the end of the third quarter, the score continued to expand.In the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, the 25-point difference announced that the following time would be garbage time.The youth training team replaced five main players.The players who came off the bench still didn't give their opponents a chance, and the imposing youth training team finally ended the game with a huge advantage of [-] points.

Beat Brazil! The biggest opponent on the road to the top 32 was defeated by us!The news of the victory spread instantly on the other side of the earth.

The fans are excited, and the news media is also boiling.That night, the machines of all the major newspapers were running all night.On the next day, the headlines on the front pages of all the newspapers were the news of the youth training team's victory.

From losing to the substitute US team in the first game, to beating Brazil by a big score, the youth training team has undergone a 180-degree change in just two days.Victory, and it was such a hearty victory.Although it has not yet entered the top 32, the dawn has appeared.And compared to the result of winning, the process of winning is more exciting.

This game allowed people to see a brand new youth team.A game made fans see the hope of basketball.

The hotel where the youth training team stayed was bustling with reporters.The spotlight kept flickering, and the camera was aimed at the table seats of the press conference. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the heroes who won the game to arrive.

The door opened, and the leader of the youth training team came in.After a burst of enthusiastic speeches, the smiling team leader conveyed the words of coach Wang Tao to the reporters: the team rests and prepares for tomorrow's game, and will not accept any interviews for the time being. We will talk about it after tomorrow's Angola battle.

It's closed training again!Although the reporters were dissatisfied, the wording in the newspaper this time was no longer "pretend to be mysterious", but a sentence of enthusiastic praise.

The next day, the battle against Angola.

Angola has lost to the United States and Brazil in the first two games, and there is little hope of qualifying for the group.If they can beat the youth training team, the US team beats Brazil, and the three teams in the group have two losses and one win, they still have the theoretical possibility of appearing.Facing an evenly matched opponent in the past, Angola has high morale and vows to create miracles.

Over there, the Angola team wore light green jerseys and after a short warm-up, the referee announced at four o'clock that the game was about to start.

The first five tigers of the Angola team are the homework that the youth training team has done long ago: point guard Kakia, shooting guard Lowry, former Snowden, and center Harris, former Sloan.Their height is relatively average. According to the reporter's report, they are also a team that is good at playing fast break. The offensive and defensive rhythm changes quickly.

When these two teams face off against each other, it depends on whose fast break is faster.

Based on this, the audience judged that the youth training team could easily win the Angola team.Because the youth team is basically not afraid of any team that is good at fast break so far, that is the way they use to drag down the opponent.Even a strong opponent like the US team almost fell in the hands of the youth training team, what's the matter.

A whistle sounded and the basketball flew into the air. Fatty Zhang and Harris jumped up at the same time. Their heights were only 3 centimeters apart, but because Fatty Zhang's jumping ability far surpassed the opponent's, Long Xun grabbed the ball directly.

Long Xun just dribbled the ball twice and suddenly realized that he was not a point guard.He smiled wryly and passed the ball to Li Yifan.

The youth training team moved rather jerky, except for Fatty Zhang and Zhang Shaolong. Everyone else changed positions and was at a loss for a while.

Li Yifan dribbled the ball in front of the opponent's point guard Kakia and looked at the situation in the frontcourt.Kakia, who was shorter than Long Xun, couldn't help complaining secretly when he saw Li Yifan as a point guard.But being short also has the advantage of being short. He leans over and is ready to steal the ball at any time.

Li Yifan passed the ball to Jiang Dongyu. Jiang Dongyu hesitated for a moment and then passed it back.

Li Yifan even made three crotch dribbles while dribbling the ball.This set of gorgeous and dazzling moves immediately drew cheers from the audience!
Kakia, who was facing up, snorted coldly. In his opinion, dribbling under the crotch is just a flashy movement. Not only is it difficult to break through, but it will cause trouble for the dribbler.He saw the opportunity and reached out to steal it!

Unexpectedly, Li Yifan's hand movements suddenly increased at the moment of his shot, and the increase of only 1 seconds was enough to make Kakia come to nothing.At the same time, Li Yifan's crotch changed hands and immediately threw him off and rushed into the frontcourt with the ball!

Seeing this, Snowden, who was defending Zhang Shaolong, hurriedly made up his defense, and Kakia quickly turned around and followed up.

Li Yifan smiled slightly and even turned his back to the direction of the basket without looking at the basketball in his hand and threw it back!
The weirdness of this pass was completely beyond the expectations of the Yiling players.

At this time, an orange-red figure swept into the restricted area and flew straight up!
Li Yifan's pass is a typical "nolookpass". When everyone in the Angola team thought he was going to pass the ball to Long Xun on the outside, Zhang Shaolong flew into the air to catch the ball and shoot!

Although this shooting method pays attention to technology, the strength and height of passing the ball are especially challenging.Long Xun, as the main point guard for a long time, theoretically organized the whole team to attack him, and he should have the most pass assists.But the youth training team recognized that Li Yifan's passing skills are the best.
