King of shooting guards

Chapter 153
He found that he seemed to have no choice. Originally, he planned to play steadily, even if he didn't win the championship this year, it didn't matter. When Nongguang grew up next year, Amu and Long Xiaotian would also have experience.In addition, two good new players will be recruited. When the time comes, the lineup will be complete and the background will be sufficient. They can completely hit the championship again.

But now he finds that this cannot be done, because he is very much in favor of Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji going abroad, and this is definitely a good opportunity.

In a more relaxed environment abroad, the level of participation is high enough, but it is not a commercial competition, such as ncaa.This is of great benefit to Li Changgeng and the others. After a few years of honing in the NCAA, there will be a big leap in personal ability.

In this way, their talents will not be wasted.

And once they go to the United States, Hongcheng's strength will drop a lot. I'm afraid it's enough to win the city championship, let alone the national championship.

Therefore, once Li Changgeng and the others leave, Hongcheng will lose the ability to compete for the championship, so the best way is to win the championship this year without waiting for next year.

"Okay, I agree with your tactic." Tao Ran nodded, feeling a little complicated.

He didn't want to delay Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, but he was really reluctant to part with these two disciples, but he still felt that it was the best choice to agree with Li Changgeng's proposal.

Because in this way, although it is a risk, there is still a chance. If they really win the championship, then Hongcheng will have no regrets.

In addition, if they win the championship this year, then Hongcheng will definitely become famous, and when the time comes, they won't have to worry about not having any outstanding players to join them.Tao Ran even thought that if that was the case, maybe next year Hongcheng would be a strong team as well.

Even if it's not as good as this year, at least it won't turn into a belly.

"So, this risk can be taken." Tao Ran gritted his teeth and said to himself, "This time we have to gamble."

A few days later, the national knockout rounds finally began.

The Hongcheng team also set off again to the provincial capital. The game will be held at the Guangxi Provincial Sports Center, which is Hongcheng's home court.

The home and away games of the National Challenge are determined by the results of the North and South Divisions. Hongcheng won the championship in the South Division, so they will face the runner-up in the North Division, which is HLJ's Xining Raptors.Also because Hongcheng is the champion of the Southern District, they all have home court advantage.

The National Challenge is also a match to determine the outcome. It is a knockout match. The winner of the Southern Region will play against the runner-up of the North Region, and the champion of the North Region will face the runner-up of the South Region. Fight for the third place in the country.

Therefore, this game is also extremely important, and it is related to whether they can enter the finals.

In the locker room, the HLJ Tyrannosaurus Rex had already changed their clothes. A group of people were either sitting or standing, with sharp eyes and an astonishing aura.

"Clap clap."

Coach Tyrannosaurus rex clapped his hands, waited for everyone's eyes to fall on him, and then said: "I'm going to play in a moment, so cheer up. Although it's an away game, we can't lose our momentum. Overwhelm Hongcheng."

"Yes." A group of players roared.

"En." The coach nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "Let's go, it's time."

In Hongcheng's locker room, everyone was also gathered together. Tao Ran pushed open the door and walked out first. Everyone followed behind, a few minutes behind Tyrannosaurus rex.

After all, this is Hongcheng's home game. As the home team, it must be at the back, which means it will be the finale.

A wave of boos came from the front, and everyone in Hongcheng couldn't help laughing. Once upon a time, they were also booed at their home court. This time it was finally someone else's turn.

When the boos gradually subsided, Tao Ran turned around and said, "Let's go, it's our turn."

Walking out of the player tunnel, everyone in Hongcheng immediately heard huge cheers. Although there were also boos mixed in, they were too few to be ignored.

The Tyrannosaurus rex players watching this scene all shook their heads. After all, this is Guangxi, and it is too far away from HLJ. Even if they want to come, there are few fans of Tyrannosaurus rex who can come here, so there are very few spectators who can come to support Tyrannosaurus rex today.

The cheers were deafening and resounded throughout the arena, making the players in Hongcheng excited and waving their hands to greet the audience.

When it was Li Changgeng's turn, the cheers reached the peak, as if they were about to overturn the sky.

Surprisingly, Li Changgeng had a cold, expressionless face. He didn't even wave his hand to greet the audience.

Sima Shenji frowned, and asked his teammates: "What's going on, Li Changgeng looks a little strange."

"You just found out?" Sima Shenji stuck out his tongue and said, "He has been like this for the past few days, and I don't know what stimulated him. Anyway, it's like someone owed him 500 million."

In fact, everyone in Hongcheng has noticed that Li Changgeng is a little different today, very cold, with an amazing murderous look.

Mengyao walked up to Li Changgeng, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Li Changgeng replied flatly.

Seeing that he didn't mean to say more, Mengyao had no choice but to give up.

After a while, players from both sides came to the field to warm up. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was playing away, so he especially wanted to overwhelm Hongcheng in terms of momentum.

Therefore, as soon as Tyrannosaurus rex power forward Hu Tianba dunked with both hands, he fell on the basket and swayed a few times vigorously.In fact, his actions like this are illegal during the game, but at this time, he is extraordinarily imposing.

Falling from the basket, he looked towards Hong Cheng and snorted contemptuously.

Although they couldn't hear the sound, everyone in Hongcheng could see Hu Tianba's eyes, so they naturally knew what he meant. Everyone frowned, feeling very upset.

At this moment, Li Changgeng retreated beyond the three-point line with the ball, then accelerated suddenly, and reached the free-throw line in two steps. When he stepped into the free-throw line with one foot, his whole body also rose into the air, like a bird. Like a goshawk, he stretched out in the air, held the ball with one hand, and made a gliding dunk.

"Bang!"

The huge sound resounded throughout the arena, which surprised all the audience, and then there was a huge cheer, deafening.

This ball is obviously much more domineering than Hu Tianba's two-handed dunk before, and the difficulty is more than one level.

"Made, it's great to be able to dunk." Hu Tianba was even more upset as the person who was directly slapped in the face. He cursed angrily, then looked at the point guard Moby, and said, "Amon, you also dunk one. Let them take a look and let them know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people."

Hearing this, everyone else in the Tyrannosaurus rex also looked at Mengbi. Mengbi was the core of the Tyrannosaurus rex, and his strength was astonishing. In the eyes of the Tyrannosaurus rex, it was even worse than Li Changgeng.If there is anyone who can overwhelm Li Changgeng, it is only him.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later in the game, save some energy." Momby didn't care, and said with a calm smile.

Tyrannosaurus rex and everyone looked at each other, and they all smiled helplessly. Mengbi is good at everything, but his temper is too indifferent, and he has no anger at all. If it weren't for the killer coldness he showed during the competition, you would definitely think he It's a jerk.

On Hongcheng's side, everyone was also surprised.

In the past, Lu Feng and Nong Guang were the most flirtatious. This kind of dunking with each other during the warm-up time is usually done by Lu Feng and Nong Guang. Li Changgeng never participated.

But for some unknown reason today, Li Changgeng made a move.

"Tsk tsk, Li Changgeng is so murderous today." Amu said.

"Yeah, poor Tyrannosaurus rex, I have a hunch that they will lose badly today." Nong Guang also whispered.

On the sidelines, Tao Ran frowned slightly. He also felt that there was something strange about Li Changgeng today, but he relaxed again when he thought of the tactic to be played today. Today's tactic is to have Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji try their best to score. In terms of tactics, it might not be a bad thing for Li Changgeng to be a little more violent.

Soon, the warm-up was over, and the players from both sides returned to the field.

On the side of Tyrannosaurus rex, the coach and coach began to order generals, and shouted: "Left Wing, Hu Tian, ​​the third runner-up, Wu Amin, Mengbi, you guys come up later."

Several people nodded, and the others had no objection.

Center left wing, power forward Hu Tianba, small forward runner-up, shooting guard Wu Amin, point guard Monby, this is Tyrannosaurus Rex's consistent starting lineup, and it is also their strongest lineup. How many players will play in the first quarter? Take it for granted.

The coach said: "I have analyzed Hongcheng for you many times. They mainly rely on Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, so we must guard against these two first. If we can guard against these two people, Hongcheng It’s nothing to be afraid of.”

"Wu Amin, the third runner-up, the two of you have heavy tasks. You would rather get less points on the offensive end and guard against these two."

"Yes." Wu Amin and Ji Jun nodded seriously.

In fact, Tyrannosaurus rex's tactics are nothing special. On defense, they focus on defending Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji. On offense, they rely on the core player Monby to play their usual offense.After all, this is just the beginning, and the coach also wants to focus on stability.

Hongcheng side.

Tao Ran looked at the crowd and said solemnly: "Today is different from the past. I have already arranged the tactics with you, just play like that, give more balls to Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, and let them play. Give them more screens for pick-and-rolls and rebounds. In addition, on defense, we should also pay attention to sharing the pressure for Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, they need to use more energy on offense."

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

Tao Ran had told everyone about this tactic a few days ago, and he had practiced it specially, and he was very clear about the assignment of personal tasks, and everyone knew it clearly.

Seeing that everyone understood, Tao Ran stopped talking, closed the tactical board, and ordered everyone to disperse, leaving only Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji behind, and told them: "It will be up to you later, you must Play well, the outcome of the game is tied to you.”

The two nodded, looking serious.

In the auditorium, a seat near the front, Luo Jinnan and Xiaoli are both present, and the assistant is sitting next to him.

Before the game started, Xiaoli and Luo Jinnan chatted first, Xiaoli said: "I heard that you recommended Li Changgeng to Yang Guangmao?"

"Yes." Luo Jinnan admitted frankly, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Li Changgeng didn't have the idea of ​​playing CBA at all. The day before yesterday I took Zhang Tiehammer to find Li Changgeng, but Li Changgeng rejected him. At that time, Zhang Tiehammer still thought it was incredible. I didn't expect to be rejected. But I guessed it." He said with a chuckle and said, "Xiao Li, have you finished the negotiation this time?"

"Where am I?"

"Don't be a fool, don't think I don't know, you want to send Li Changgeng abroad, right?" Luo Jinnan said with a smile.

Seeing Luo Jinnan talking about this, Xiaoli no longer kept it secret, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have already contacted him in the United States. As long as he nods, he can go there at any time."

Luo Jinnan frowned: "He hasn't agreed yet?"

"Not yet." Xiaoli glanced at him, smiled secretly, and added, "However, there should be no problem."

"Uh..." Luo Jinnan was choked by the added sentence, and said with a smile, "It's about to start, let's watch the game."

"En." Xiaoli nodded, but she knew in her heart that Luo Jinnan still did not give up, and still wanted to draw Li Changgeng into the Lotus team.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, Luo Jinnan is the coach of the East China Economic Company and a member of the Lotus team, so naturally he has to think about the Lotus team.If he can draw Li Changgeng closer to the Lotus team, Luo Jinnan will also make a great contribution to the Lotus team.

The whistle sounded and the game officially started. .access:..

Nongguang and Tyrannosaurus Rex stood on the left wing of the middle circle, the referee threw the ball into the air, and the two jumped up quickly, but after all, Nongguang was more explosive, bounced faster, and bounced better. He hit the ball first, He quickly patted Sima Shenji.

Sima Shenji hugged the ball, stabilized it, waited until the opponent couldn't draw the ball, and then started to advance. After passing the front court, he was not in a hurry to hand it over to Li Changgeng.Now Hongcheng's tactic is that Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji score as much as possible, so Li Changgeng is not needed to organize.

Several people in Hongcheng ran quickly. Facing Tyrannosaurus rex point guard Wu Amin, Li Changgeng shook his shoulders twice, sped up and threw Wu Amin away in an instant.

"Damn, what a weird footstep, what a fast speed!" Wu Amin was shocked, and even adjusted his footsteps, intending to chase after Li Changgeng.

It's a pity that his speed was a bit behind Li Changgeng's. When he caught up, Li Changgeng had already received a pass from Sima Shenji, stood outside the three-point line, pulled up and shot.

"It's over." Seeing the speed of Li Changgeng's shot, Wu Amin knew that he had no way to influence the opponent, and could only hope that the ball would not be scored.

"Shh!"

The goal was scored, 3:0.

In the auditorium, thousands of fans who supported Hongcheng began to cheer loudly, cheering for Li Changgeng's goal and cheering for Hongcheng.

However, Xiaoli frowned slightly, looked at Li Changgeng on the field, and said in a low voice: "Why did Li Changgeng attack immediately when he came up today, and didn't organize it? What kind of tactics is Hongcheng playing?"

He was puzzled, and Luo Jinnan next to him was also puzzled. After watching so many Hongcheng games, he was familiar with Hongcheng's style of play. Li Changgeng was usually the one who organized the offense, and he was the starting point for the attack. Give it to your teammates, and your teammates will fight on their own if they don't have a chance.

Therefore, after this series, Li Changgeng averaged around 11 assists per game, because he actually played as a point guard.

But today was a bit abnormal, Li Changgeng didn't go to organize, but went up with full firepower, regardless of his teammates, why?
"Strange." Luo Jinnan thought to himself, but continued to read without making a sound.

Like Xiaoli and Luo Jinnan, the coach of Tyrannosaurus Rex was also puzzled. Before the game, he had analyzed Hongcheng's previous games and knew Hongcheng's way.He also specially made some arrangements for this, but he didn't expect Li Changgeng to open his firepower as soon as he came up, as if he only focused on attacking and disregarded others, which was completely different from Hongcheng's previous style of play, which completely disrupted his arrangements .

Tyrannosaurus rex attack.

Being able to win the runner-up in the North District, Tyrannosaurus Rex is not an ordinary generation. They not only have the core player Monby, but also a group of very good players. They can attack in every position, cooperate tacitly, have clear tactics, and the offense is very good. sharp.

The ball was passed between several people, with a quick screen and pick-and-roll. Ten seconds later, power forward Hu Tianba ran out of the open space under the screen, and Monby quickly passed the ball.

He took the ball, took off, and hit the ball steadily.

3: 2.

Sima Shenji advanced with the ball, and after passing the frontcourt, he was confronted by Monby's oppressive defense. He took a step back and passed the ball to Li Changgeng. Said: "As expected of the core of Tyrannosaurus rex, the defense is really oppressive."

Seeing Li Changgeng taking the ball, Wu Amin looked solemn, lowered his center of gravity, opened one hand and covered Li Changgeng's front with the other.

"You think I won't dare to vote like this? Just kidding." Li Changgeng curled his lips, making a gesture to make a breakthrough, but it was just a feint, and the foot that stepped out was retracted, and he directly pulled it out.

"Shh!"

Going in again, it's just two points, stepping on the line.

"Damn it!" Wu Amin's expression turned extremely ugly, and he was scored twice by Li Changgeng in a row.

The Tyrannosaurus rex attacked, and while dribbling the ball, Monby said to Wu Amin: "Watch me pass the ball later, and pay him back."

"Huh?" Wu Amin's eyes lit up, and he finally smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see you later."

The ball jumped in Mengbi's hands, like a fish swimming in the water, leaving Sima Shenji no chance to use his mobile phone, so he could only hold his position and beware of the opponent.

Suddenly, Mengbi accelerated, broke through from the left, and Sima Shenji moved to the right, but at this moment, Mengbi suddenly stopped, turned around, with his back against Sima Shenji, and quickly passed him, waiting The ball hit the ground, an acceleration, and the breakthrough was successful.

This series of moves is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. After passing Sima Shenji, Monby also reached the free throw line.

However, Monby, who reached the free throw line, did not make a shot at this time. Instead, he pulled the ball backwards, received the ball, and jumped up.

Seeing this, Nong Guang didn't have time to think about it, he quickly stepped forward, left the three-second zone, and blocked the front of Monby.Li Changgeng was just behind Monby, and subconsciously jumped up, reaching out from behind to block the cover.

"nice shot!"

However, when both Li Changgeng and Nong Guang jumped up, Monby hit the ground and passed the ball. Wu Amin cut to the basket, and after getting the ball, he made a one-handed dunk and shouted excitedly. The sulking in my heart was finally vented.

"This Mengbi is really powerful." Tao Ran frowned. Just now, Mengbi did it consciously, so as to pull Nong Guang out from the inside line, and also attracted Li Changgeng to come forward, so that Wu Amin could get a chance to cut the basket. Get it right.

Hongcheng attacked, and after Sima Shenji advanced to the front court, Li Changgeng came up to ask for the ball. Wu Amin stepped forward, stared at Li Changgeng coldly, and said, "I won't let you shoot."

"I don't vote." As soon as Li Changgeng's words fell, the person also started up, the speed was like electricity, the first step was especially fast, and he passed Wu Amin with one step.Then, without slowing down, Li Changgeng rushed into the inside line, facing the Tyrannosaurus rex's center forward and jumped up.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, how could it be so high?

Yes, Li Changgeng jumped too high. Although he is only 1.8 meters tall, his feet are at least one meter above the ground. The Tyrannosaurus rex center left wing who jumped up and prepared to reward him with a big hat was also shocked. He stretched out The hand also retracted feebly, because the height was not high enough to reach the ball at all.

I saw Li Changgeng soaring in the air, holding the ball with his right hand, as if it had fallen from the sky, roared wildly, and smashed it hard towards the basket.

"Bang!"

One-handed hack!

Everyone was surprised, it turned out to be the same one-handed buckle as Wu Amin just now, except that Li Changgeng's vacated height was higher, his movements were more stretched, and he was more domineering.

There is no doubt that this ball is a direct counterattack to Wu Amin's ball just now. It is a hot slap in the face. Can't you dunk it?I can do it too.Don't you know how to split buckles with one hand?Me too.It's just that I'm more beautiful than you, and I'm more awesome than you!
At 7:4, Hongcheng led by 3 points.

The 3-point difference is not enough to excite the audience. What really excites the audience is Li Changgeng's dunk just now and his abnormal performance today.

Yes, everyone has noticed that Li Changgeng is very abnormal today. From the very beginning, he was full of firepower, first a three-pointer, then a two-pointer, plus this domineering one-handed dunk, it was only more than one point In 7 minutes, he scored [-] points alone.

It is conceivable that if the game continues like this, how many points can Li Changgeng score after a game?

"It's not right. Li Changgeng seems to be a different person today. I remember that he was always happy to pass the ball. Why is he so independent today?"

"It's not alone. He's already made three shots from three shots. This is called berserk! I feel that Li Changgeng has changed his style of play today, focusing more on offense."

"Nonsense, who can't see it."

Many people in the audience were discussing that Li Changgeng had changed his style of play.

However, people like Luo Jinnan and Xiao Li keenly discovered that it was not just a simple change of style of play, but also related to Li Changgeng himself.It is certain that the style of play has been changed, which can be seen from Hongcheng's formation, but if Li Changgeng didn't want to do this himself, there is absolutely no need for him to be so violent.

Just like the ball just now, in fact Li Changgeng had many ways to score, but he chose to use that one way, why?
"What stimulated him today?" Xiaoli frowned slightly, staring at Li Changgeng for a while, and finally she was sure that Li Changgeng was stimulated by something, but she didn't know what it was.

Luo Jinnan also noticed it, but he wasn't worried. Instead, he smiled with great interest and said, "Tsk tsk, it's rare to see Li Changgeng like this. I'm looking forward to his performance today." He looked at the assistant, "Xiaoyi, how many points do you think Li Changgeng can get today?"

"I don't know." The assistant simply shook his head, but added, "At least thirty points."
