whirlwind basketball

Chapter 197 Youth Competition (12)

Jiang Dongyu pushed the basketball with both hands and hoisted it towards Li Yifan through a high parabola.But this indecisive pass once again caused a tactical failure. Kakia, who cut horizontally, almost broke the ball!
Li Yifan hurriedly grabbed the ball and dribbled along the bottom line for two steps, braked suddenly, and raised his hands up in one fell swoop!
This action was done just right because Li Yifan's intention to break through from the bottom line attracted the double-teaming of Snowden and Kakia, but at this time Li Yifan immediately hit the ground and passed the basketball out of the encirclement that Snowden and Kakia hadn't closed yet!

At this time, Wang Siyang, who had outstanding awareness, seized the opportunity to run back from the penalty area and received Li Yifan's pass on the way, becoming an unguarded pawn again!

The Angola coach stood up involuntarily, with an expression of disbelief on his face.After these two rounds, Angola's defense appeared an incredible situation. It was so full of loopholes that it gave the opponent three consecutive opportunities to shoot completely open!
But Wang Siyang was too impatient, he turned around and shot before he could stand still.Although the ball was unguarded, it was not in Wang Siyang's accustomed posture and position. The ball still missed!
Angola seized the opportunity to counterattack aggressively.Kakia made a sudden shot from beyond the three-point line and hit a three-pointer!

The score was 24:35 and the difference was as much as 11 points.Li Yifan shook his head helplessly.

Wang Tao's expression was not at all anxious but showed a gratified smile.Although the two offenses did not translate into scoring, the tactics were basically successful and the gaps came out, so the goal was achieved. The rest required the youth training team to use tactics more skillfully to find a sense of rhythm, then scoring would not be a problem.

He said to Long Xun, Huang Tianlong and Lu Weiben next to him: "You can see clearly what is the most important thing without this set of basic tactics. Why is it so easy to create a vacancy?"

Long Xun said hesitantly: "It should be counter-running and pick-and-roll to create opportunities through continuous pull-side cooperation..."

"That's right." Wang Tao nodded. "You must understand that this tactic has no real core. Everyone must participate in it. Opportunities may arise at any point. Especially the point where Fatty Zhang is." He said to Huang Tianlong "I noticed Fatty Zhang's lack of singles ability, so if you are at that point, you must always pay attention to your teammates' passes and score decisively."

"And you," Wang Tao said to Lu Weiben, "all you have to do is to run back inside and out and pay attention to using your body pick-and-roll reasonably. The inside line is not the point where you score, so once you run to the outside line and there is an open space, you have to make a decisive shot. Any tactic is far from perfect." Regardless of the players themselves, I don't need you to be all-around, but don't hesitate when you find your own rhythm, otherwise the tactics will be meaningless."

Then Wang Tao turned to Long Xun: "No. 1 is the tactician. When you understand the essence of this tactic, you will understand that it is definitely not passing the ball and running mechanically, but you have to assess the situation, pay attention to the situation on the field, and understand the abilities of your teammates. You The attitude directly determines how this tactic should be played. The first pass and running position are especially important. I want you to see more clearly when you are on the court..."

With the last offensive time left in the game, they trailed by 3 points at 38o:8.

Li Yifan, who was sweating profusely, approached the Angola team with a dribble, hoping to completely block the pass and control the emergence of that weird open space.But it is impossible to completely block the pass. Li Yifan passed the ball to Zhang Shaolong smoothly, and then immediately reversed and then reversed.

Pick-and-roll, pass the ball, pick-and-roll, and then pass the ball, the youth training team with strong comprehension has obviously gained a lot of experience in this basic tactic after continuous actual combat practice.They kept running and tearing apart Angola's man-marking.

Due to the lack of effective positional defense, Li Yifan finally got rid of Kakia in a run after the penetration.

Rising from beyond the three-point line.

The pause in the air and the shooting in one go leave no room for Kakia or other opponents to interfere.

With a sound of "shua", the whole stadium boiled up!

Although the youth training team is still 5 points behind, it is obvious that the irresistible momentum of the momentum has completely overwhelmed the opponent.They completely dominated the field.Just one little tactic magically turned the tables!
This afternoon, all (it should be said almost all) audiences and fans of the youth training team witnessed a wonderful performance by the youth training team and witnessed how the youth training team entered the threshold of the top 32!

At that time, Li Yifan didn't have much playing time in the second half. Wang Tao replaced Long Xun, Lu Weiben and Huang Tianlong, and the score was reversed.The completely dizzy Angola team has been unable to come up with corresponding measures against this simple and effective tactic. A few old fritters are exhausted on the court but can't make up for the loopholes in defense!

It can be said that throughout the second half the youth training team continued to strengthen this tactical movement. They completely regarded this game as a training session.At this time, Wang Tao took out the bearing of a head coach and continuously dispatched troops, suspended, and replaced people, making full use of all available resources.

This made the assistant coaches sigh and recall that when they led the school team, they always relied on the players' singles ability and the usual cooperative training seldom made so many decisions and influences on the game.

In fact, Wang Tao is not restricting and influencing the players, but constantly activating the abilities of each player to direct their positions and running on the court to lead the game in a very positive state.

Probably this is the ability of a professional coach that cannot be expressed in words for a while.

At the end of the game, the youth training team defeated the Angola team 82:73 and got the qualification to participate in the top 32. This is the first time for the youth training team to get this qualification, and it has never been expected before.

The assistant coach let out a long breath.As a fan who is in charge of this matter in the sports department, he can finally explain to the country's sports department and leaders that the rest is how to create records.

The audience in the venue was even more ebullient, applauding, applauding and cheering continuously!
Kakia let out a wry smile after walking out of the arena: "Actually, the youth training team is really good. Only losing 9 points is not a bad result." Nature has already seen clearly.

"I've heard that their No. 8 is very good," Luo Rui said with a smile, "but it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see his scoring ability today. We lost because of the coaches of the youth training team. You have all seen it. Their coaches are constantly talking about it." The tactic of arranging formations and deploying players really dragged me to death..."

The lack of tactical literacy is the biggest problem of the old fritters.

The Angolan coach walked in the front but heard them clearly.He understands that the score in this game is far from reflecting the actual situation.The fact is that they have no resistance to the tactical play of the youth training team and can only let the opponent hack to death one by one.

The scariest thing is that the youth training team obviously didn't show the style of play they played in the previous games, and they didn't have a special tactical core. They just regarded this game as a training session and didn't pay attention to Angola at all.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and sighed to himself: "People are knives and I'm fish..."

"Coach Wang, your tactic is really wonderful!" The Minister of Sports Department patted Wang Tao on the shoulder and said excitedly, "I watched the second half of the quarter and completely confused Angola!"

Wang Tao said with a slight smile: "This tactic is actually very simple and it is very easy to break it. Because it is the players who implement the tactic, and there are differences in the abilities of the players. From this concept, no tactic is invincible. There is no tactic that will always be a team's nemesis."

"However, it can be seen today," the assistant coach sighed, "how amateurish our domestic high school coaches are and can't do anything about excellent tactics."

"I want everyone to play this tactic repeatedly today, not because I want to target the weaknesses of the Angola team or take advantage of their coach's ignorance," Wang Tao said seriously. Never stand still when attacking, never run around, keep a high degree of concentration at any time, even if you close your eyes, you can know the position of the basketball!"

At this moment Li Yifan is looking at the sky, thinking about the next game and setting a record, in fact, he is very excited in his heart.

Under the leadership of coach Wang Tao, the youth training team also played beautiful basketball.

The so-called beautiful basketball, in addition to the final victory, can only be called beautiful if there is a carefree and exciting game process.In the two games, each of the starting five players of the youth training team performed well, and each scored double digits.The youth training team, which pursues an overall style of play, not only reproduced the youth training team's "quick and accurate" tradition, but also made historic progress in tactics.The victory of the youth training team can be regarded as the victory of coach Wang Tao's tactics!
The victories of the two games not only allowed the youth training team to advance to the top 32 in history, but also let the fans see the hope of basketball.Coach Wang Tao is naturally one of the head coaches. Fatty Zhang’s performance in the first game against the US team won the approval of the fans; Jiang Dongyu, Long Xun, and Zhang Shaolong’s performances are also absolutely outstanding, but they are already well-known. , none of them are new discoveries.In the two games, the biggest discovery of the fans and the media about this youth training team was Li Yifan in the guard position!
Lightning-fast start and emergency stop, easy dribble over others, easy to find the attack route without the cover of teammates, this is Li Yifan's performance in singles.In the limited time and space, quickly find the opponent's defensive gap, and accurately send the ball into the defender's blind spot. This is Li Yifan's performance when passing the ball.Able to attack and defend well, able to score by himself, and also create points for the team, Li Yifan fully embodies the potential of a super guard.The lack of talents at the guard position has always been the biggest reason for restricting basketball from achieving good results. The emergence of Li Yifan undoubtedly gave fans great hope.

Scored 36 points, 36 assists, "picked" 48 rebounds, and five steals in two games.This is the contribution of Li Yifan in the two games that can be seen from the data. The score of 56 points is far lower than the 29 points and [-] points of Jiang Dongyu and Fatty Zhang, but he only played [-] minutes in the two games and only took [-] shots. Such efficiency can only be described as amazing!
As the core player in coach Wang Tao's tactics, Li Yifan has more roles that cannot be seen from these statistics.

Amazing efficiency, amazing performance, amazing Li Yifan!
No matter which aspect you look at, Li Yifan is the most shining star of the youth training team; no matter which aspect you look at, fans have enough reasons to believe that he is definitely a top talent, and he can definitely become a world-class player. guard.

The focus of the fans' eyes should naturally be the focus of the media's attention. Sports journalists will not wait until the end of the big game to conduct their interviews. Reporters with cameras.

Inside the bus, Li Yifan poked his head out of the window curiously, "Crack, click..." The cameras that were held up high flashed at the same time, so frightened that he hurriedly shrank his head back into the window.

"What's going on?" Li Yifan asked in horror.

There was a burst of laughter in the bus.

In the youth training team, while laughing, many people turned their attention to Jiang Dongyu next to Li Yifan.

Disgraceful fellow!Jiang Dongyu groaned in his heart, and at the same time, he hit the guy who made him feel ashamed: "Have you never been interviewed by a reporter?"

Suddenly, the scene of the celebrity appearance on TV flashed in Li Yifan's mind, and Li Yifan's heart suddenly brightened, and he asked, "Are these all reporters interviewing us?"

"You're not too stupid after all!" Jiang Dongyu said.

Li Yifan didn't care about the strong sense of sarcasm in Jiang Dongyu's words, turned his head and peeked out of the window through the gap in the curtain, his heart beat faster and couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said nervously: " There are so many people!"

"Tch, a guy who has never seen the world!" A laugh sounded beside him.

Looking back at the person who made the noise, Jiang Dongyu sat upright and kept his eyes fixed, but his slightly trembling fingers still did not escape Li Yifan's eyes, "Hahaha, so you are nervous too!"

Yes, so many people!There were dozens if not hundreds of reporters blocking the windows.It was the first time Jiang Dongyu and Long Xun had seen such a large formation.The players who participated in the youth competition are considered to be somewhat experienced, but there was absolutely no such formation two years ago.

The excellent performance of the youth training team in this youth competition made the enthusiasm of the media unprecedentedly increased.

Not only that, there were also reporters from major American media and scouts from NBA teams among the crowd.Entering the top 32, the youth training team had a moderate upset.

And the process even fell through the glasses of many people.After losing to the US team, they immediately won two games in a row.The disparity in the score is even lower than that of the US team.
