King of shooting guards

Chapter 167 Intra-team Confrontation
Group A lineup, center Redick, power forward Harris, small forward Johnson, shooting guard Paul, point guard Li Changgeng.

Group B lineup, center Mozart, power forward Leonard, small forward Beethoven, shooting guard Vujacic, point guard O'Neal.

The reason why Li Changgeng was assigned to the point guard role was because he was not tall enough, and coach Majoro didn't want to see Li Changgeng's basic skills.

Before the start of the game, Coach Majoro did not make arrangements for the tactics of the two teams, but told the players of the two teams clearly that you should negotiate by yourself.

In Group A, Redick and Harris began to discuss. Li Changgeng just watched from the sidelines and did not express his opinion, because he was not familiar with Redick and the members of Group B. , so I want to speak and I don’t know where to start.

So, he didn't express his opinion at all, and waited for a few minutes to find out what was true.

And Redick didn't mean to ask Li Changgeng's opinion. The four of them got together to discuss for a while, and then told Li Changgeng the result, telling Li Changgeng to pass the ball quickly when attacking, don't do it alone, and take defensive measures. Man-to-man tactics, that's it.

"After discussing for a long time, it turned out that we came up with such a style of play. These guys are really good." Li Changgeng was a little depressed.

He didn't know the people in Group B, so he had nothing to say, but Redick and the others clearly understood, but they only discussed this style of play, and there was no detailed division of labor. They just said that the offense must be stable and the defense must be stable. Be careful, but how to play steadily, how to be careful, but there is no answer.

This made Li Changgeng have to despise Redick a few times in his heart. As far as this tactical quality is concerned, it is indeed a bit bad!
He didn't know that Redick and the others were actually rookies recruited only this year, and their understanding of each other was very limited. When improvised.

On the other hand, in Group B, Mozart, Leonard, Beethoven, Vujacic, and O'Neal are almost all second-year or third-year students, and they are the main players of the team. They have played together for at least one year and know each other well. It is clear who is good at what and who is not good at what.

Therefore, after discussing for a while, several people quickly determined the tactics.

"beep"

The whistle blows, jump ball.

Group A is Reddick, and Group B is Mozart. Reddick is 209 cm tall and weighs 105 kg. His bounce can only be said to be average. Mozart is 211 cm tall and weighs 109 kg. His bounce is much better than Reddick, so it is very easy. At one point, he gave the racket to O'Neill.

O'Neill is a typical black guy, 1.9 meters [-] in height, with excellent physical condition, strong muscles, and fast speed. He crossed the center line in the blink of an eye and gestured to his teammates. Mozart quickly lifted him up to help him pick and roll, and O'Neill made a change of direction. Accelerate, stop and jump shot.

"Shh!"

The goal was scored, 2:0.

"This O'Neal seems to have two talents. He has excellent physical fitness, fast speed, stable ball control, and is good at emergency stop jump shots." Li Changgeng secretly thought, and quickly summed up the information.

Group A attacked, Redick served from the bottom line, Li Changgeng pushed forward with the ball, O'Neal seemed to want to give him a bad start, and even threw Li Changgeng in front of him, stretched out his arm, trying to steal the ball from him.Li Changgeng snorted coldly, changed direction and accelerated, throwing O'Neill away in an instant.

On the sidelines, Coach Major's eyes lit up, and he praised with a smile: "Li's ball control ability is good, he has a good sense of the ball, and his speed is also very fast." Next to him, another assistant coach recorded these messages in a notebook Above all, this will become Li Changgeng's internal archives.

After passing the halfway line, Li Changgeng took a look at the situation on the field at a glance. Redick and the others were entangled with the opponent. Because he got rid of O'Neal, the opponent didn't intend to defend.But seeing Paul asking for the ball, Li Changgeng thought about it and chose to pass the ball.

It's just the beginning, he doesn't need to fight right away, he can look at his teammates first, and it's not too late to make a move when he knows how strong his teammates are.

Paul gets the ball, sets up a pick-and-roll with Redick, then throws the ball back quickly, and Redick hits a jumper along the free throw line, but the ball misses and bounces off the rim.

With a "snap", Mozart quickly passed the rebound to O'Neal without hesitation.

Group B began to counterattack, and Group A quickly retreated. Li Changgeng glanced at Paul and Redick, and there were two more messages in his heart: "Paul lacks the ability to play singles with the ball. He should be a pitcher. Although Redick is a white player , but the hand feeling is not good, it should be inclined to attack inside and rely on flexible footwork for food."

O'Neal quickly crossed the center line and passed the ball to Leonard. He ran around the basket and reached the right side near the baseline. Liu opened his hand and Leonard quickly passed the ball to him.

"Ma De, these guys really treat me like a persimmon, damn it!" Li Changgeng suddenly realized that the other party was consciously hitting him, thinking that he was Chinese, and his physical fitness must be poor. It's only 1.8 meters, so I deliberately created this opportunity for O'Neal to play low singles.

The next moment, O'Neal's words confirmed this point: "Boy from China, let me tell you that you shouldn't play basketball with your body." As soon as the words fell, he began to play singles with his back, trying to rely on his height and body to dominate Li Changgeng, give Li Changgeng a blow.

"You want to hit me with your body, huh!" Li Changgeng exerted strength, and a force that was hard to see from the outside exploded from his body, colliding with O'Neill.

With a muffled sound, O'Neal paused, and looked at Li Changgeng in surprise. He found that the opponent's strength was not inferior to his own, and he was a little dazed for a while.

At this moment, Li Changgeng hit a bucket, immediately poked the ball in O'Neill's hand, and then accelerated around the front, grabbing the basketball first.

The next moment, Li Changgeng was like a bright sports car, his whole body turned into a phantom, he quickly crossed the center line, reached the three-point line, and scored with an easy basket.

2: 2.

This made Mozart's face a little ugly. Vujacic took a look at O'Neill and complained: "O'Neill, what are you doing? You are just a Chinese who is only 1.8 meters tall. Have you forgotten how to play with your back? People steal, God, I'm so ashamed of you."

"Bastard, you won't be better than me." O'Neal cursed inwardly, looked at Li Changgeng, and couldn't help but wonder, "That guy is only 1.8 meters tall, and he's still a Chinese, how can he be so strong? ? Could it be that he took stimulants?"

In fact, this is all due to Xiaoer.

Under Xiao Er's guidance, Li Changgeng's physical exercise can be called perfect, there are no terrifying muscles, but incomparably perfect coordination, the strength is hidden under the skin, it is difficult to see it with the naked eye, only when he erupts. Feel that explosive power!
Next, O'Neill tried two post-up singles against Li Changgeng, but both were unsuccessful, and then no matter what his teammates said, he stopped trying because it was meaningless.

However, although O'Neill didn't take advantage of Li Changgeng, the overall strength of Group B is indeed more than stronger than that of Group A.

Group B is full of old players, they cooperate tacitly, and their strength is stronger than that of Group A. Mozart, Leonard, Beethoven, and Vujacic completely crush Redick in Group A.Especially Mozart and Vujacic almost beat Redick and Paul.

Moreover, Li Changgeng was in consideration of observing his teammates, so he didn't take the initiative to take any shots in the next few minutes, and he always took the ball across the center line and handed it to his teammates.

Of course, out of distrust for him, once the ball is passed, his teammates will never pass the ball back to Li Changgeng, so he has no chance to play even if he wants to.

After going back and forth, a section of time passed.

After this quarter, the score became 30:12, and Group A fell behind by 18 points.

You know, NCAA regular games are only divided into two halves, each of which lasts 20 minutes. Today is a training game, so it is divided into four quarters, each of which lasts 10 minutes.In just 10 minutes, Group B allowed Group A to score 30 points. This can no longer be described as embarrassing, it is simply a shame!

Redick, Harris, Johnson, and Paul were all downcast. The great sense of loss made them feel overwhelmed and unable to lift up their spirits.

Looking at the few people, Li Changgeng was also very depressed. He only took two shots in this quarter, one was a fast break layup after stealing O'Neal, and the other was a half-court shot with only three seconds left in the first quarter. A buzzer shot, the result is naturally no shot.

Therefore, Li Changgeng can't be blamed for the result of the first quarter, but as a member of the team, Li Changgeng is still very sad.

Major came over, looked at Li Changgeng and the others, and said, "Boys, you are far behind."

Several people lowered their heads.

Majoro smiled and said: "Redick, Harris, Johnson, Paul, and Lee, you are all rookies who just joined the team this year, Mozart and the others are all old players, and they cooperate more tacitly. You lost to They are nothing." Then, he changed his tone, "Okay, if you think the difference in strength is too big, I can adjust the lineup, what do you think?"

Just as Redick and the others were about to agree, Li Changgeng took a step forward and spoke first: "No, Coach Major, please trust us. We may lose this game, but we will not admit defeat before there is no result. , and we will never accept handouts."

"Lee, what are you doing?" Redick yelled.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Paul was also anxious, and whispered, "We are not opponents at all, and we will lose even worse later."

Li Changgeng pretended not to hear what they said, stared at Majoro seriously, and repeated: "Coach, please trust us."

Majoro was shocked. After looking at Li Changgeng for a while, he realized that he couldn't see through this young man from the East. He was only 1.8 meters tall and his physique was not strong, but he exuded a kind of self-confidence from the inside out, which made him People can't help but be convinced.

"Mysterious China, a magical country, maybe it really brought me a surprising little guy." Majoro thought to himself, and nodded, "Okay, you will still be in this lineup later. Li , you can shoot more from the outside."

"Huh?" Li Changgeng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that the coach was reminding himself that the inside line of Group B is very strong, and the outside line is the breakthrough point.Unexpectedly, the coach would remind himself, Li Changgeng smiled gratefully at Coach Major, and said, "I understand, thank you."

A smile appeared on Majoro's face, and he found himself liking this oriental boy more and more.

After Majorro left, Redick and Harris immediately pulled their faces down, glaring at Li Changgeng angrily, very dissatisfied with his arbitrariness.

Facing the gazes of several people, Li Changgeng said with a serious expression, "Griffin, Harris, Johnson, Paul, let me ask you, do you think you are inferior to Mozart and the others?"

"I" Redick opened his mouth.

"We are not their opponents. They are already in the second and third grades." Paul said weakly.

Hearing this, Li Changgeng's face darkened, and he shouted: "Wrong! I don't think so. Maybe our personal strength is different from them, and maybe our cooperation is not as good as their tacit understanding, but we don't necessarily lose. Even if we lose, we will lose." You can’t just throw in the towel. If you were men, I think you would understand this and make the same decision as me. If you weren’t men, forget it.”

For a while, the faces of Redick and the others changed, sometimes tangled, sometimes unwilling, and sometimes at a loss.

After a while, the few people returned to normal. Redick gritted his teeth and shouted: "Li, you are right, we can't admit defeat before the end of the fight. Although we know we will lose, we still have to fight. We are soldiers. Never surrender without a fight."

Li Changgeng was a bit dumbfounded by the comparison of Reddick, but it didn't affect his understanding. After all, that's what Li Changgeng meant.

"Fight."

"Even if we lose, we will fight to the end." At this time, Johnson, Harris, and Paul also said one after another.

Seeing that everyone had made up their minds and their morale had recovered, Li Changgeng smiled and said to them, "Brothers, as I said, we won't necessarily lose." Their eyes lit up, and they heard Li Changgeng continue. : "The opponent's personal ability is higher than ours, and the cooperation is better than ours, so we can't fight with the opponent one-fifth, we need to make a surprise move to win."

"First of all, we have to avoid the inside line. The opponent's inside line is very powerful and has excellent physical fitness. We are behind the opponent in the confrontation."

"Stay out of the paint, we're going outside. Paul, I know you're a shooter, and your job is to shoot from the outside. I'll pass the ball to you. Believe me, I'll pass it if you get a chance. Please, too. You promise me that you will invest in it." Li Changgeng said.

Paul nodded and assured: "Don't worry, if the opportunity is good enough, I will definitely make it."

"Okay." Li Changgeng nodded and looked at Redick, "Redick, you need to run more and attract Mozart to the outside line, so that we have a chance to rush for rebounds. When the inside line is not as good as the opponent, we can only rely on active Go for the rebounds to win."

"Harris, near the bottom line is your shooting range, and you walk in that range."

"Johnson, you need to cooperate more with Paul. Paul's shooting range is biased beyond the three-point line, and your range is biased within the three-point line. You can complement each other."

"Have you all understood?" Li Changgeng finished speaking in one breath, licked his lips, and asked again, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"No."

"Understood." Several people nodded.

At this moment, Li Changgeng realized that the way several people looked at him was obviously different from before.

If the few people underestimated him before, then their eyes were full of admiration at the moment, because they found that Li Changgeng could see the technical characteristics of each of the four of them in such a short period of time, and he was able to improve them. Allocation, combination, utilization, this is simply too simple.

A few people asked themselves that they would never be able to do it, so no matter what Li Changgeng's skills were, this ability alone was enough to convince them.

On the other side, several people from Group B also gathered together.

They are headed by center Mozart, because Mozart is the oldest and strongest among them, and is the core of the current team, so they are all willing to listen to him.

"Leonard, Beethoven, Vujacic." At this moment, Mozart told several people, "Don't take it too seriously later, we lead by 18 points, we will definitely win anyway, but everyone is Teammate, it's not good to win too much."

"Ah."

"Okay!" The three of Leonard nodded in agreement.

Then, Mozart looked at O'Neill, his face darkened: "O'Neill, I am very disappointed with your performance in the first quarter. You can't beat a Chinese kid. I even doubt, what did you do last night? Is it in your Little girlfriend wasted too much energy on her belly?"

These words were a bit poisonous, O'Neill immediately pulled his face down, and retorted: "Mozart, please keep your mouth shut, I didn't do anything last night. Also, don't insult Daisy, if you dare to say that again I'll knock out your front teeth."

"Okay, I take back what I just said." Mozart shrugged his shoulders and joked, "But O'Neill, are you really good?"

"Don't worry." O'Neal gritted his teeth, looked at Li Changgeng, and said bitterly, "Just wait and see, I'll let that kid know how powerful he is."

Soon, the second quarter began.

There were two substitute players, Richard and Green, watching. They thought that the coach would replace them in this quarter to help the rookies in Group A, but what surprised them was that the coach He didn't say anything, as if he didn't intend to change people.

"Oh, I see." Richard suddenly exclaimed, and whispered to Green, "I know why the coach didn't change, the coach must want to teach that Chinese boy a lesson, so that he can be a water dispenser obediently in the future Admin, it must be so."

"." Green rolled his eyes.

On the field, Group A attacked.

Li Changgeng controlled the ball across the center line, glanced at his teammates, and made a gesture to them. Redick quickly raised it to Li Changgeng's pick-and-roll.Using the pick-and-roll, Li Changgeng quickly threw off O'Neal, led the defender to the right, and after two steps, he returned the ball to Redick.

At this time, Paul quickly ran back and passed by Redick. Redick handed him the ball while sideways helping him block Vujacic who was chasing him.

In this way, Paul finally ran out of the open space, quickly stopped for a jumper, the basketball drew an arc, and happily got into the net.

"Good shot!" Li Changgeng came up to high-five Paul.

Paul was also very excited, and said to Li Changgeng with a smile, "Li, you are really amazing, the tactic you arranged is very beautiful."

In fact, this tactic was thought of by Li Changgeng on the spur of the moment, and it was also a tactic he used frequently in Hongcheng, but he replaced the original Sima Shenji, and Paul took his original position.

At 14:30, Group A was still 16 points behind.

Then Group B quickly launched a counterattack. The ball was passed twice and returned to O'Neill. He wanted to hit Li Changgeng one by one, so he accelerated after getting the ball and forced a breakthrough from the right side, trying to rely on his own strength. Strength and speed pass Li Changgeng.

It's a pity that his strength was at most comparable to Li Changgeng's, but his speed was more than a little slower than Li Changgeng's. He was firmly stuck in Li Changgeng's position and had to force his shot.

"boom!"

The ball bounced out of the frame, and Harris, who rushed over quickly, got the rebound and quickly passed it to Li Changgeng, while he quickly ran forward.At the same time, Redick, Johnson, and Paul also rushed to the frontcourt quickly, and everyone was determined without any hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Coach Majorlo on the sidelines gazed at the people in Group A, and finally landed on Li Changgeng. Li, you are indeed a magical oriental kid."

Li Changgeng went to the frontcourt, made a pick-and-roll with Griffin, and then accelerated to the inside, attracting Leonard's help defense, and he suddenly jumped up.

Seeing Li Changgeng jump up, Leonard quickly jumped up too.

But it was only after he jumped that he realized that the ball in Li Changgeng's hand had disappeared, and it suddenly disappeared the moment he jumped.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Harris dunked and fell from the hoop, beating his chest excitedly and roaring loudly.

Of course, he will not forget his benefactor Li Changgeng who helped him to score a dunk, he ran over with a smile and hugged Li Changgeng, and praised: "Li, your pass is great."

Li Changgeng used the pick-and-roll to kill the ball inside, attracting Leonard's help defense, and then passed the ball behind the back while jumping up, and it was very covertly given to Harris, who cut into the inside.Such a good opportunity, Harris will naturally not let it go, and immediately dunks.

Seeing that Group A suddenly seemed to change teams, they played a 4:0 as soon as they came up. The people in Group B couldn't calm down, and the offense seemed a little impatient. The ball was passed from O'Neill to Beethoven, and Beethoven also If you don't pass it, it's just a dry jumper.

The ball missed, and Li Changgeng picked up the rebound and quickly launched a counterattack.
