King of shooting guards

Chapter 168 Edge
It has to be said that the people in Group B have a tacit understanding and return to defense very quickly, and they do not give Group A a chance to play a fast break at all.

In desperation, Li Changgeng had no choice but to slow down, set up a pick-and-roll with his teammates, and then accelerated with a quick change of direction, passing the defender.At this moment, there was only Mozart left in front of him, and Mozart stared at Li Changgeng intently, wanting to give him a big hat.

But at this moment, Li Changgeng received the ball, and without looking at it, he passed it from the crowd to the three-point line in the right corner.

At the bottom corner, Paul comfortably received the ball. There was no one within two meters in front of him. He made a slight adjustment and jumped up to shoot.

"Shh!"

The goal is scored, and the three-pointer is valid!
Another assist by Li Changgeng, another pass like a scalpel, under the leadership of Li Changgeng, Group B played a shock wave of 7:0.

"Hold on, hold on tight..."

After being chased by Group A for 7 points in a blink of an eye, Mozart got a little angry. While shouting to his teammates, Liu asked for the ball and wanted one for himself.

O'Neal quickly passed the ball to Mozart. After Mozart got the ball, he played back singles. His physical fitness was much better than Redick's.Seeing this, Harris quickly rushed to help defend, but it was still a bit late after all.

Feeling that the position is almost the same, Mozart quickly turned around and made a small hook.

The goal was scored at 32:19. With Mozart's goal, Group B stabilized the situation, and everyone in Group B breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

"Be careful, I will watch you." Mozart shouted while running back.

O'Neill, Leonard, Beethoven, and Vujacic all nodded to express their understanding, and all of them became serious.

They know that the opponent is different from just now, so they can't follow the original style of play, they can't be waterproof, at least they must be serious before opening the point difference to more than 20 points, and they can't slack off, otherwise if a group of If the rookies come back, they will lose face.

The people in Group B are indeed stronger than the people in Group A, so when they go all out, Group A feels a lot of pressure.

Li Changgeng was still controlling the ball and guiding his teammates to attack, but as the opponent's defensive pressure increased, his teammates' shooting percentage dropped.Moreover, as the opponent became more serious, they immediately overwhelmed Group A in momentum, making Group A very restrained and completely unable to let go.

"Continuing like this is not an option." Li Changgeng thought to himself, and decided to take action himself.

In this case, the most important thing is to improve the morale of the teammates. Without morale, no matter how organized he is, it will be useless.

Therefore, after Li Changgeng got the ball, he set up a pick-and-roll with his teammates, took advantage of the situation and accelerated to the inside.

This time he didn't pass the ball, but a fake pass to deceive the opposing player, and then scored with an easy basket, scoring two points.

"Strike!" Redick was the first to shout.

Harris, Johnson, and Paul's eyes lit up. They hadn't seen Li Changgeng's shot before, and they didn't know his scoring ability other than passing.Now when they see this ball, they know that Li Changgeng's scoring ability is not weak, and they are very happy about it.

Looking at the few people, Li Changgeng nodded lightly, knowing in his heart that this ball alone is not enough.

Group B quickly counterattacked, and several people cooperated very tacitly. The ball reached Leonard after two passes. Leonard took the ball as a fake shot, then took a step to the side, and hit a jumper.

Turning around, Li Changgeng quickly crossed the center line and handed the ball to Johnson. Johnson was the only one with the ability to play singles with the ball.

However, the people in Group B obviously knew this too. The defense was very tight, the defense line shrunk inward, and people crowded together. Franke could only smile helplessly, and passed the ball to Li Changgeng.

"Break it out, stretch the line of defense." Li Changgeng gestured to his teammates, and Redick, Harris, Johnson, and Paul pulled outside one after another.

For Li Changgeng, the people in Group B didn't care much, because Li Changgeng took few shots, so the people in Group B only thought that he had a good passing skill.

Therefore, only O'Neill was left to defend Li Changgeng, Mozart was left inside, and everyone else was pulled outside.

This is exactly what Li Changgeng wanted. He glanced at the basket, accelerated his dribble, repeatedly changed direction with his crotch, and then suddenly accelerated to break through from the left.

"Thinking about me, dreaming." O'Neill roared in his heart, moving quickly.

But at this moment, Li Changgeng made a change of direction, the ball was instantly handed over from his left hand to his right, and his feet touched the ground, trying to speed up.

At this moment, O'Neill's heart twitched, he gritted his teeth secretly, and controlled his body vigorously. Fortunately, his physical fitness was quite good, and he successfully shifted his center of gravity.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Changgeng paused, dribbled the ball with his right hand behind his back, passed the ball from his right hand to his left hand, moved his feet slightly, returned his center of gravity to the right side, bypassed O'Neal, and caught the ball with his left hand. Accelerate and pass through O'Neill.

O'Neill was dumbfounded, and was stunned, he was still passed.

In fact, the movement is not the key, the key is the speed.

It's like the same movement, some people can break through, some people can't, it's because of speed, strength, and explosive power.Of course, the most important thing is speed. If you are fast enough, the other party will have no time to react, but if you are slow, then it is not necessarily true.

Li Changgeng's speed is undoubtedly very fast, he passed O'Neal in an instant, entered the inside line with one step, kicked his feet on the ground, and jumped up.

"What is he going to do?" Redick, Harris, and Paul's hearts were beating wildly.

On the sidelines, Coach Majoro, Jordan and the others were also stunned. Seeing Li Changgeng jump up, they were both worried and expectant.

At the same time, Mozart, who was on the inside, jumped up. Li Changgeng dared to dunk in front of him, but he would never allow it.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the two collided.

In an instant, Li Changgeng felt a strong attack, his whole body ached, and he couldn't help crying inwardly. He still underestimated Mozart, but he didn't expect that Mozart's body was so hard and powerful, and he was knocked to pieces in one fell swoop. Balance and fly back.

Mozart was also very surprised. He was still blaming O'Neill for not being able to single-handedly beat Li Changgeng before, but now he tried it himself and realized that it was not O'Neill's problem, but Li Changgeng's.

"Fake! Why is this Chinese man so powerful?" Mozart cursed inwardly. Seeing that Li Changgeng had been hit by a missile, he couldn't help being happy again, "Haha, it doesn't feel good to be hit by me? This ball You can't buckle it."

The next moment, the expression on Mozart's face suddenly froze, and Liu subconsciously opened his mouth, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

Coach Majorlo, Jordan, Redick, Paul, Harris... Everyone was as shocked as Mozart.

At this moment, Li Changgeng gritted his teeth, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and suddenly paused in the air, as if he had stopped in the air out of thin air.

Then, he leaned forward with his upper body, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and smashed it towards the basket with all his might!

This is a weird scene, but also a shocking scene. Li Changgeng adjusts his body in the air, and his upper body leans forward. It looks as if a force pushes him from behind, causing his upper body to fly towards the basket. Basket, but the lower body did not move.

"Bang!"

The ball was scored, and Li Changgeng naturally fell heavily on the ground.

At this moment, the arena was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of the basketball bouncing on the ground, and everyone was stunned speechless.

"Can it be buckled in like this?"

"I am not wrong, right?"

A soft murmur sounded, and then Redick and the others went crazy and flew over. They pulled Li Changgeng up, surrounded him, and shouted excitedly.

This dunk is so beautiful, and it's so lingering in the air, it's shocking!
"Good!" Coach Majoro waved his fist fiercely, pulled Jordan and said excitedly, "Jordan, did you see that ball just now? My God, that was really great." He was already smiling Hua Hua said, "Jordan, I really want to thank you, I will treat you to dinner tonight."

"Coach Majoro, you are too polite." Jordan said with a smile, also very happy in his heart.

On the field, the game continued.

Stimulated by Li Changgeng's dunk, the people in Group B were a little bit out of their minds, but the people in Group A were full of morale, high fighting spirit, and in very good condition.

Under the ebb and flow, Group A is almost steadily suppressing Group B in an unfamiliar situation, and the point difference is also rapidly narrowing.

During this period of time, Li Changgeng only took two shots, 2 of 1 shots, and scored a three-pointer. The rest of the time he was mobilizing his teammates.His passes can always be delivered to his teammates just right, so that teammates don't need to think too much, just shoot.

Unknowingly, Li Changgeng has become the absolute core of Group A, the engine and CPU of their offense, controlling the offense of Group A, and delivering shells for his teammates.

At the end of this quarter, the score became 42:48. Although Group A was still behind, it was much better than it was 18 points behind at the end of the first quarter.

In this quarter alone, Li Changgeng scored 7 points and 7 assists. Counting the 9 points and 8 assist in the first quarter, he scored [-] points and [-] assists in just two quarters.

"Okay, that's all for today's practice match." Coach Majoro stopped the game.

After all, this is just a practice match, and his purpose is just to test Li Changgeng's strength. He looks the best now. Group A didn't lose too much. Redick and the others are in a good mood, although Group B didn't win much. , but won in the end and did not lose face.

What's more, there are only 12 people in the team, and there are no extra people to rotate. If they play four quarters, everyone will be tired.

Coach Majoro waved his hand and said to everyone: "Okay, you guys continue training, and you can leave after training for half an hour." After speaking, he went to the side to chat with Jordan.

Everyone started free training.

"Lee, let's train together."

"Li, can I practice breakthrough one-on-one with you? Your breakthrough moves are amazing, and your timing is very good."

With the friendship we fought side by side just now, and Li Changgeng's success in proving himself, Redick, Harris, Johnson, and Paul also had a 180-degree change in their attitudes toward him. learn from each other.

Li Changgeng naturally agreed, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At least his first step was very good, and he was recognized by his teammates.

Of course, only some teammates.

Contrary to Redick and others, the attitudes of Mozart, Leonard, Beethoven, Vujacic, and O'Neill toward Li Changgeng have not changed, but intensified.From the way several people looked at him, Li Changgeng knew that he was regarded as a thorn in their side.

Especially O'Neill, he played as a point guard in the team. Originally, his life was relatively comfortable, because there were only two point guards in the team, one was him and the other was Green.Green is a second-year student, and his strength is not as good as O'Neal's, so O'Neal doesn't care about Green. His position as the main point guard in the team is also as stable as Mount Tai.

But now that Li Changgeng is here, after this contest, O'Neill found that his position as the main point guard seemed dangerous.

Therefore, among several people, O'Neill was the most hostile to Li Changgeng, and he looked at Li Changgeng with cold eyes.

A group of young people started free training, divided into two halves, one was the old players headed by Mozart, and the other was the new rookies headed by Li Changgeng.

Neither of the two sides can understand each other, so the land is drawn as a boundary, and no one interferes with the other.

On the sidelines, Coach Majoro and Jordan were chatting.

"Jordan, I really want to thank you this time. Thank you for bringing me Lee." Coach Majoro took Jordan's hand and said excitedly, "You know what? I had doubts about Lee before, but Now I know, he is a wonderful oriental boy, as magical as the old country."

The more he talked, the more it seemed that Majorlo couldn't stop: "Oh, did I tell you? I love China so much, I love their food, it's so delicious, I can eat it with my tongue. And their kung fu, Bruce Lee, do you know?"

A black line began to appear on Jordan's forehead, and he smiled wryly: "Coach Major, I also like China. Their food is indeed delicious, but I don't know much about Kung Fu." He shook his head and changed the subject, "Coach Major , what do you think of Li Changgeng?"

Majoro pondered, he would immediately become serious when it comes to basketball, and he said after a while: "Jordan, Lee is a very good player. He has a physical talent that is rarely seen in Chinese, and he also has a very high basketball IQ." Said Then, he glanced at the court, shrugged and said, "But Jordan, I think I still need to continue to observe. He needs to deal with the relationship with his teammates first."

"Huh?" Jordan frowned, then quickly relaxed, nodded and said: "Okay, Coach Majoro, please help me take care of him."

"Of course." Majoro laughed, "This is my responsibility."

Jordan and Major chatted a few more words, agreed to have dinner together in the evening, and then left.

Before leaving, Jordan pulled Li Changgeng to the edge of the court, and said to him without hesitation: "Li Changgeng, Coach Majorlo likes you very much, but if you want to gain a firm foothold in the team, you just need to get the coach It’s not enough to get the approval of your teammates, you have to get the approval of your teammates.”

He emphasized: "I'm not talking about a small group of teammates, but all of them." After thinking for a while, he changed his mind and said, "At least the vast majority. This is a test for you, do you understand?"

"Understood, thank you Jordan." Li Changgeng thanked and waved goodbye to Jordan.

Back on the court again, recalling what Jordan said just now, Li Changgeng couldn't help but look at Mozart and the others.

In any case, he has achieved his goal today, he has been recognized by Redick and others, and he has also won the favor of coach Majoro. At least he is no longer an insignificant person in the team.As for the others, he felt that he could take his time.

Half an hour later, the training ended, all the players dispersed, went to the locker room to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, greeted each other, and left together.

Redick and the others invited Li Changgeng to join him, but Li Changgeng refused with a smile. He had to go back to the dormitory to make the bed and tidy things up.

Back to the dormitory with his bag on his back, Li Changgeng opened the door and saw a blond young man, about ten years old, wearing a pair of glasses, he looked like a technical nerd.

"Hi, hello." The technical nerd got up, smiled and stretched out his hand, "My name is Amico, nice to meet you, what's your name?"

"Li Changgeng." The other party didn't seem difficult to get along with, and Li Changgeng also smiled and said, "You can call me Li, nice to meet you. I'm new here, and I don't know many things, can I ask you for advice? "

Amico readily agreed, and the two went out to have dinner, chatting happily.

After dinner, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and Amico helped Li Changgeng make the bed and pack up his things, and it was only about 06:30.

Looking at the sky, Li Changgeng thought that it would be time for more practice in a while, but a question stumped him.

He used to practice extra at a community court near his home in the city, but what should he do here?It seems that the basketball court is not open, and there must be space in the school court, but Li Changgeng is not willing to go, where there are too many people, he will communicate with the second child during training, and that is the only time he communicates with the second child in a day Sometimes, it will be weird, and he doesn't want others to see it.

"Li, what's the matter with you?" Amico noticed Li Changgeng's abnormality and asked worriedly.

Looking at Lucas, Li Changgeng couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked, "Ameco, are you familiar with the surrounding uclA? Do you know where there is a community court?"

"The stadium?" Amico looked at Li Changgeng in surprise, not knowing why, "You want to play? Then you can go to the stadium west of the school, there are many golf courses there."

"No." Li Changgeng explained, "I'm looking for a community court with few people. I like to practice alone, and I don't like many people."

"I see." Lucas pondered for a while, before saying: "Yes, there are, but I don't go often, I don't know if there are many people."

"It's okay, take me to have a look." Li Changgeng said repeatedly.

Lucas nodded in agreement, and Li Changgeng quickly changed his jersey, while Lucas didn't change, just in sportswear, leading the way, and walked out of the school with Li Changgeng.

With a basketball on his back, Li Changgeng walked with Lucas for about ten minutes and saw a community court.

"It's here. This stadium is called Orange Marmalade." Lucas pointed to the stadium and said to Li Changgeng, "Unfortunately, there are still a lot of people."

The name of this stadium is very strange, but the venue is okay. It is surrounded by a wall, and there is a court in the middle, with painted floors and tempered glass backboards.

At this time, there were ten or twenty people playing on the court. Seeing so many people, Li Changgeng frowned, and asked depressedly: "Ameco, how can I let these people leave and leave me here alone?" playing ball?"

Amico was stunned, and looked at Li Changgeng in surprise, seeing that he was not joking, he smiled wryly and said, "If you want to do this, then unless you are the boss here."

"How can I become the boss here?"

"Choose the field!" Amico said, looking at Li Changgeng, and then at the field. A group of tall, muscular blacks shrunk their necks and wondered if I was crazy. With such an idea, asking him to pick a field, isn't that courting death?
In Lucas's opinion, if Li Changgeng was really hotheaded to choose a field, he would definitely be looking for death. Not to mention other things, just say that Li Changgeng's height of 1.8 meters is not enough. `There are at least seven or eight players with a height of 1.9 meters on the court, two of them are almost two meters long, and each of them has strong and shiny muscles. .

"Li." Lucas really regretted it, and pulled Li Changgeng back, "Let's find another stadium."

"No." Li Changgeng shook his head, shook off Lucas's hand with a smile, and walked straight to the stadium, "Since you have to pick a field to become the boss of this stadium, then pick a field." Listening to Li Changgeng's words, Lu Cass' calves began to twist, and he was about to pull Li Changgeng with his hand, but he was already a step too late.

At this time, Li Changgeng had already walked into the stadium. Although Lucas was extremely worried and unwilling to do so, he could only bite the bullet and keep up, praying silently in his heart, praying that the other party would not kill him, and just send someone to take care of him. Li Changgeng just beat him up.

Some people playing ball on the court also saw Li Changgeng, but they didn't care because there were many people playing ball on this court, they only thought he was here to play ball.

Li Changgeng has never done this kind of thing in China, that is, that time when he and Wu Kai met those gangsters in the community court to pick the field, so after thinking about it, he walked to the middle of the court and pointed at the players on the court. Someone shouted: "I'm here to pick a field, who is the boss of this field?"

For a moment, the stadium fell silent. `
But then, what made Li Changgeng extremely depressed was that the ten or twenty ball players all burst out laughing, as if they had heard a joke.

A bald black man with a height of 1.9 meters and strong muscles, wearing a Lakers jersey No. 24, looked at Li Changgeng jokingly, and said with a smile: "Hey, Asian, are you here for a joke? If so, I have to congratulate You, you have succeeded, hahaha"

On the side, several burly guys also laughed.

Li Changgeng frowned, took out the basketball from his bag, and walked beyond the three-point line, Liu handed a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The ball goes in, hollow.
