King of shooting guards

Chapter 228 Super Coach
And Li Changgeng's scoring process was simply plagiarized from Raymond's actions just now.In this way, it is the most obvious challenge to Raymond.

This time not only Geng Xiangzhi, but also the players on the court, the players on the sidelines, the audience outside the court, and the Chinese fans in front of the TV all saw the gap.Geng Xiangzhi patted his forehead weakly, and sighed secretly in his heart: "It's really Chang Geng, did it have to be so obvious?"

As the object of provocation, how did Raymond react?With a muffled grunt, he made an emergency stop, turned around, and shot backwards, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket.

The answer could not be more clear: If you want to challenge Li Changgeng, then come on.

"What an idiot!" Lei Meng's reaction made Sima Shenji sigh, "I actually competed with a Chang Geng." Even so, the basketball in his hand was passed to Li Changgeng.

You can make trouble, but you are not allowed to lose!
Of course they won't lose, they leaned back, but the basketball passed through the gap between the Australian defenders and stuffed it into the hands of Song Liuming on the inside. Song Liuming easily sent the ball into the basket.

The gap was back to fifteen points again.

Just as Geng Xiangzhi expected, Li Changgeng knew how to handle it properly.After all, this is a very important game, and it is impossible to let yourself and the opponent start endless one-on-one duels.Li Changgeng's action led the duel to another direction: the outcome of this match was a [-]-point gap between the two sides.

After completing this attack, Geng Xiangzhi nodded with a smile, but Sima Shenji let out a long sigh: This bastard has not gone mad at last.

With Li Changgeng's transformation, the game on the field became a tug-of-war between the two sides, and the score was always hovering between fifteen and sixteen points.Following Sima Shenji's buzzer-beater, the final score of the first half was finally fixed at 59:44.

The opponent is the previous champion, with a 59-point advantage and [-] half-time points. This performance can be regarded as a perfect performance by any fan.

59 points, how many times Chinese basketball has not scored like this in the entire game in the world!How important is a good coach?

The ambitious national youth team will tell you the answer!

And the [-]-point difference in the score also negated Lei Meng's efforts in the second quarter. He and Li Changgeng had lost a round in essence in the duel.

At the beginning of the second half, Geng Xiangzhi surprised everyone again: Li Changgeng, Sima Shenji, the five absolute main players were all sitting on the bench, with five substitute players on the field.

Australia, which was trying to tie the score, launched a crazy attack in the second half.On the other hand, the Chinese youth team slowed down their offensive rhythm and played steadily. The performance of the five substitute players was not inferior to that of the main lineup just now.In fact, every middle and young player is an outstanding young player of each team. The strength between the main force and the substitute may be completely reversed. The reason for being a substitute may be that his technical characteristics are not suitable for Geng Xiangzhi's tactical needs.

When these players are suppressed on the bench and halftime players play, they have a stronger desire to perform and more physical strength than the main players.The power they have displayed in a short period of time is not as good as even the main lineup.

The performance of the China Youth Team on the court once again proved the wisdom of Geng Xiangzhi.

Two minutes after the start of the second half, the main players returned to the field one after another, while Li Changgeng was pushed on the bench again.

Under the pressure of Australia, the Chinese youth team's two consecutive mistakes allowed the opponent to take the opportunity to close the score to only six points.The momentum of Australia's counteroffensive was high.

Their aura must be suppressed, even ordinary fans can see the key at this time.

It was Geng Xiangzhi's first time to reflect everyone's thoughts in action, and Li Changgeng appeared on the stage.

After all, Australia is a strong team in the world. In terms of strength alone, they are indeed superior to the Chinese youth team.In the first half, under Geng Xiangzhi's excellent tactical scheduling, the ever-changing rhythm of the China Youth Team made it difficult for them to grasp.The [-]-point difference has made them very uncomfortable in their momentum.The outstanding performance of the ace Raymond also failed to close the point difference, which was an inestimable blow to their morale.But halftime was enough time for their coach to adjust their mentality.For these strong teams, once there is hope of catching up to the score and turning defeat into victory, the fighting power they can explode is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The gap of six points is enough for the Australian players to see the dawn of victory.There is still more than one quarter of time left, so the six-point gap is nothing.

Now is the time when Australia's counterattack is the strongest. If they can't beat the opponent's momentum here, the youth team will undoubtedly lose in this game.

For the Chinese youth team, now is the most critical time.

Sending Li Changgeng out at this time obviously placed great hopes on him.When all the fans and audience's eyes will focus on him, this is essentially a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Can a 16-year-old boy handle so many expectations?
CCTV commentary consultant Mark's commentary at this time is: "Geng Xiangzhi really used Li Changgeng as a star!" Is Geng Xiangzhi really so confident?Or is he gambling at all?In fact, there are still such doubts in Mark's heart that he has not said.

However, the situation on the court did not make his question last too long. Li Changgeng made a long throw from outside the three-point line after playing, and the basketball went straight to the opponent's basket. Re-snap it into the box.

Hit the catch and dunk!

"Hits, catches and dunks! Beautiful, really beautiful!" The cheers from the CCTV commentary consultant made the volume of every TV that was broadcasting the live broadcast suddenly increase.Ecstasy seemed to infect every fan who was watching the broadcast, "It's so beautiful!" Countless fans cheered and pumped their fists in front of the TV.

What's the best way to score a goal in basketball?There is no doubt that it is a slam dunk!The thunderous momentum and power to smash the rim is definitely the most visually entertaining scene in a basketball game. What is the dunk that can most mobilize the audience's emotions and boost the morale of the team?That should definitely be a hit-and-shoot dunk!

Just like Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji dunked just now!
The atmosphere of the stadium, the emotions of the audience, and the morale of the players all rose instantly because of this goal.This is the effect Geng Xiangzhi hoped to see.Just like what Geng Xiangzhi saw: Li Changgeng has the ability to read and compete that no one else can match.He knew what to do at this time, so he chose the most effective way!

Use him as a star?Nonsense, since Geng Xiangzhi used him as the core of his tactics, Li Changgeng has been the ace star in Geng Xiangzhi's mind.Is there any doubt about it?
bet?Maybe, but he won the bet, didn't he?
A slam dunk completely wiped away the pressure brought by the China Youth Team to the opponent's continuous pursuit of points due to mistakes.The high morale of the Chinese youth team was revived.And because of the return of the tactical core, it was like finishing the finishing touch to draw a dragon, and the China Youth Team seemed to be resurrected as a whole, re-emerging with a huge offensive power.

For the Australian team, they have not been affected too much.The fiery competitive spirit of chasing the score to win the game trumped everything at this time.After all, a strong team is a strong team, and their mental toughness at this critical moment is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.If it is reversed, can the Chinese youth team continue to maintain a strong desire to win like them?It is unknown!
So Geng Xiangzhi tried his best not to let the China Youth Team face such a situation.

The Chinese youth team was united as one, and the Australian team was united as one. With an eight-point gap and 10 minutes remaining, the game on the court entered a feverish level.

At this time of the game is the real strength confrontation.

The high-morale Australian team has re-demonstrated their strong strength as the World Youth Championship champions. The overall exquisite coordination, accurate shooting, super control over rebounds, and better understanding of physical strength in the inside competition.

As for the China Youth Team, speed is the biggest advantage. Fast, flexible, and accurate are integrated into Geng Xiangzhi's tactics to reproduce the unique style of Chinese basketball.

This game is definitely a head-to-head contest between Asian basketball and European basketball.For the first time, the Chinese team, which represents the highest level of Asian basketball, has the strength to compete with European teams-although Australia is not yet part of Europe!
The so-called strength does not refer to the absolute strength of the team, but the strength displayed by the five players on the field from both sides.This includes the personal strength of the players, the tactics of the coach, and the actual performance in the game.

When Mars hits the earth, whoever wins will have the strength to speak!
The evolution of the game to this situation is definitely something that no one expected before the game.When did Chinese basketball have the strength to challenge European basketball?

It's now!

The fierce competition on the court, the fierce scenes, and the schedule of alternating scoring between you and me all tell the audience: this is a close game.

The NBA scouts who watched the game were amazed by everything in the game before them, and at the same time, they were even more delighted with the outstanding performance of the players they were concerned about.

Song Liuming's shot from outside the penalty area missed, the Australian player grabbed the rebound and made a long pass to prepare for a fast break.Hit a hand to intercept the ball!

Fast break, is it that easy?
Li Changgeng!
The basketball suddenly fell into Li Changgeng's hands. When did he appear there?
Li Changgeng did not leave time for others to be amazed, he had already started to attack, speeding up, stopping suddenly, turning around, rushing into the basket, jumping up, hitting the sideways, hooking under the basket, "Bang, swish!" Two very different voices After the sound, the basketball bounced off the board and fell gently through the basket.

When Li Changgeng attacked, Sima Shenji and Song Liuming were open, but this time he did not pass the ball.And with his own height, it's really not a good choice to break through and rush to the basket to attack.

But he did it.There's no reason to speak of it, that's how he puts the basketball in the hoop!
Ordinary common sense can't explain it at all here. In this fierce competition atmosphere, Li Changgeng's offensive desire rooted in the depths of his cells cannot be restrained by any tactics and routines.

At this time, Geng Xiangzhi needed this kind of unreasonable goal.

This kind of goal is the biggest blow to the opponent's morale!

But not every player can attack as willfully as Li Changgeng. If it were another player, Geng Xiangzhi might consider replacing him.

Geng Xiangzhi is not a coach who is superstitious about stars. He believes that stars are players who are more capable of exerting tactical power than ordinary players.But if the star does not know how to integrate himself into the tactics, it is impossible to achieve good results.That so-called star has no place in his team.But at the same time, he is not a stubborn tactical coach.On the court, he gave the players great freedom.For example, he acquiesced to Li Changgeng's willful challenge to Lei Meng.Although he is not superstitious about stars, he also will not ignore the role of outstanding players in the game.The outstanding performance of a star can indeed change the outcome of the game sometimes.

Just like Li Changgeng's impromptu performance that transcends the scope of tactics, sometimes it can indeed achieve unexpected results.But everything has advantages and disadvantages, just like a double-edged sword, if you accidentally hurt yourself, you may be yourself.If the goal just now is not scored, the morale will be hit by the China Youth Team itself.

In the current national youth team, Li Changgeng is probably the only one in Geng Xiangzhi's heart who can control this double-edged sword.Sima Shenji and Li Zheng are also excellent players of Li Changgeng, and their strength will never lose to Li Changgeng. In terms of fame and experience in competitions, Li Changgeng cannot match.But just as they cannot become the tactical core of the team, their talents and personalities determine that they can maximize their strength within the tactical frame.In other words, their basketball IQ has not yet reached the level of Li Changgeng.

The so-called Li Changgeng, who is hard to come by, always has something special about him.

Among all the players Geng Xiangzhi has seen, Yang Shao may be another Li Changgeng with such potential.But whether you can turn your potential into strength depends on how much effort you can put in on the training ground in the future.

For now, Geng Xiangzhi still can't find an existence comparable to Li Changgeng in his heart.His excellence is unique, so his privilege is also unique.

After Li Changgeng scored a goal, Sima Shenji excitedly rushed up and put his arms around his brother's neck, without such a boring emotion as "being robbed of the limelight by Chang Geng".No matter how many elements of brotherhood exist in it, Sima Shenji does embody the kindness that a team boss should have.In the ambitious national youth team, the tactical core and the team leader are two completely different concepts.There is no doubt that Li Changgeng is the core of tactics, but he is not yet qualified to be called the leader of the national youth team.Captain Li Zheng and vice-captain Sima Shenji, these twin stars are undoubtedly the two highest-achieving players in this national youth team——Shanghai Sharks second-team champion and All-Star player.Whether it is prestige or their respective strengths, they are the bosses of the team.

After Li Changgeng's steal and counterattack succeeded, the score between the two sides was once again drawn to ten points.Although there were only two more points, the point difference was indeed pulled to double digits, which meant different things to the players of both sides.

Australia fought back wildly.

The Chinese youth team tried their best to maintain their advantages and even widened the gap in the score.

A huge gap, which is not a particularly big gap on the basketball court.Especially for two teams with strong offensive power, especially now when both sides are rushing to attack.One mistake, two missed shots, two extra rebounds by the opponent, the ten-point difference may disappear within 1 minute, or even be overtaken.

As if to verify this statement, the China Youth team missed a shot and the opponent caught the rebound and quickly counterattacked. After a strong dunk, the score gap has become six points.

So again, how long can the gap of six points be maintained?

The score must be opened.

It is impossible to make every shot on the court, but Australia's shooting percentage in the second half has always been higher than that of the Chinese youth team; the rebounds are roughly the same, and they all have an absolute advantage in the backcourt rebounds...

There is absolutely no problem tactically, but how can we ensure the team wins?The performance of the players on the court is already quite good, how can we be more demanding at this time?Geng Xiangzhi on the sidelines got dizzy.

Suddenly, after the last offensive and defensive transition on the court, the point difference between the two sides has narrowed to five winds-Australia hit a three-pointer.

Three-pointer?Geng Xiangzhi thought that it was not time to go crazy yet.At this time, what the China Youth Team wants is "stability", and the three-pointer eager for quick success will only ruin the game.After all, we are still in the lead until now, and the pressure from the opponent should be greater.

Li Changgeng didn't believe that their shooting percentage could always be so perverted——50.00%.The opponent has been forced to the point where he can only shoot, and the opponent can still maintain such a high shooting rate, that can only be explained as God is not on his side.

Li Zheng, who was in charge of the ball on the court, slowed down the pace of the game after receiving instructions from Geng Xiangzhi on the sidelines, while Ying Li Changgeng still had a calm and calm expression on his face.Geng Xiangzhi has always felt aggrieved that his nephew's personality is not like his own, and only at this time did he thank his nephew for inheriting her mother's personality.

The calm Li Zheng greatly stabilized the mood of the Chinese youth team.Li Changgeng was obviously an exception, it was he who had the strongest desire to fight and obviously couldn't bear such a slow pace.

There was always someone on the field who was watching Li Changgeng all the time. Sima Shenji put his hand on his shoulder from behind and said, "Don't worry, calm down first."

A simple sentence has an immediate effect.Taking a deep breath and trying to stabilize his emotions, Li Changgeng nodded slightly.

"Crack!" Li Zheng suddenly accelerated the breakthrough and passed the ball to Sima Shenji. Sima Shenji passed it as soon as he touched it.

Catch the ball, take a step back, raise your hand, jump up, stop the second player, shoot the basket... "Shua!" There was a soft sound of entering the net, and a three-pointer was made.

Returning to the defense, two fists collided lightly during the run - Sima Shenji and Li Changgeng.This scene fell into the eyes of Majoro who was waiting in front of the TV. He seemed to vaguely see the scene of two people fighting side by side in the California University of Los Angeles team some time ago.

It's been a while, it's like a lifetime away.Two of our greatest players of the year are now on the world court!They are all his disciples!
Geng Xiangzhi just denied the three-pointer tactic, and Li Changgeng sent a three-pointer at this time on the court.Watching the basketball go into the basket, Geng Xiangzhi was excited, but at the same time, not only a embarrassed expression flashed across his face: Damn Chang Geng, always embarrassing Li Changgeng!But Geng Xiangzhi hoped that there would be more embarrassment like this.

After the three-pointer just now, the middle and young players on the court seemed to remember that they still had the most stable outside scoring point on the court.The basketballs were handed over to Li Changgeng one after another, and Li Changgeng seemed to have heard Geng Xiangzhi's heartfelt voice, and he did not disappoint him. His embarrassment and surprise were further escalated, "Shua, Shua, Shua" three consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line The ball hit Australia's head firmly like three saps.The momentum of the Australian team's pursuit came to a screeching halt here.The Australian coach outside the court quickly called a timeout.

The score was stretched to [-] points again.

When the TV broadcast came here, the excited narrator was already a little incoherent: "It's really amazing, it's really amazing..." Fortunately, the commentary consultant Mark's head was still clear at this time, and he started to explain after the narrator's incoherent speech came to an end. : "The four three-pointers just now are indeed very important. It can be said that each one is worth a thousand dollars. These four goals are like four saps hitting the opponent's head, completely overturning the opponent's momentum. The opponent's efforts so far are because of This short 1 minute is completely in vain, which is a big blow to any team. If the opponent cannot restore morale in a short time, it is very likely that this will be the turning point of the game. Regardless of the final result of the game What is the result? These four three-pointers are definitely the most exciting performance of the game. To be able to make such important four goals at this critical moment, Li Changgeng has indeed lived up to Geng Xiangzhi's trust in him.'National Youth Team 'Ace' is ready."

Aces?Many fans still have reservations about this.But no one will deny the importance of these four three-pointers, because the following game was as expected by Mark. Australia failed to organize an effective counterattack throughout the third quarter, and the Chinese Youth Team took the opportunity to expand the score. difference.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, the China Youth team's lead expanded to [-] points.Under the leadership of Raymond, the Australian team, who tried their best to counterattack, launched several violent counterattacks in the fourth quarter, but they were all suppressed by the tactics of the Chinese Youth Team and Geng Xiangzhi.To say it was violent is only relative to their loss of fighting spirit in the end. The Australian team was not able to play a threatening counterattack against the Chinese youth team in the third quarter throughout the fourth quarter.And sure enough, as Geng Xiangzhi expected, such a perverted hit rate did not last until the end.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, after several counterattacks failed to score, the Australian team finally lost their fighting spirit to win.The last 5 minutes of the game ended in a calm manner.

107:99 The Chinese Youth Team finally won by eight points.The final fourth quarter was so easy that Geng Xiangzhi always had an unreal feeling when he finally won.Originally, he had prepared a lot of strategies for the ups and downs of the game, but he didn't expect—"Damn it, these guys are really disappointing. It was a waste of Li Changgeng's expectations of them. As a result, many of my coach's advanced tactics have not been shown!"

It's really cheap and good-looking!How could there be such a person?There is no way, these are all Geng Xiangzhi's self-talk in his heart. On the surface, he is still the charming gentleman who is calm and unhurried.

What a duplicity guy.

Fans and reporters don't think about whether Geng Xiangzhi is the same.With the result of the victory, the crazy fans cheered loudly regardless of the dead of night.Excited reporters pointed their cameras at Geng Xiangzhi and said "click, click", and countless microphones in front of the camera were raised in front of him, "Excuse me, Guidance Geng..."

Geng Xiangzhi maintained an elegant and gentlemanly demeanor. After answering a few questions with a smile, he led the team into the bus and quickly disappeared on the road outside the arena.It is still the rule to explain to reporters: See you at the press conference.

The next day, when people woke up from their sleep, the news of the victory was spread all over the streets and alleys with overwhelming media reports after a busy night.Every newspaper of the day was filled with glowing reports.

Take a look at the domestic media's evaluation of this victory:
"Victory, a real victory. The opponent is the last champion, and there is no doubt that the world's first-class team won such a head-to-head confrontation. The China Youth Team has always controlled the situation of the game. What could be better than Does that make more sense?"

"This is the first victory in the arm wrestling between Chinese basketball and European basketball in the past ten years! This may be an epoch-making victory representing the rise of Chinese basketball!"

"Geng Xiangzhi, who planned this victory, actually directed a great miracle in the history of Chinese basketball. From entering the quarter-finals to defeating the previous champion, Geng Xiangzhi's national youth team achieved an unprecedented breakthrough in Chinese basketball."

"This victory is a victory for Geng Xiangzhi, and it is also a victory for Chinese basketball.

"Geng Xiangzhi proved through this victory that he has found the most suitable path for Chinese basketball, and Chinese basketball has found its most suitable helm through this victory.

"Li Zheng, Sima Shenji, Song Liuming and others who performed well in the previous games continued to perform well in this game. The twin stars of the Jianle team, Li Zheng and Sima Shenji, have experienced this World Youth Championship. The baptism of the leader has gradually shown the leadership style of the players in the leader's youth. Song Liuming has secured the position of the main center of the national youth team with his balanced offensive and defensive inside strength, and at the same time let the fans see the birth of another outstanding center in China. In addition to this Apart from the three, the biggest surprise for the fans to the National Youth Team came from the 16-year-old Li Changgeng. This was hailed by Geng Xiangzhi as a "Li Changgeng player who can't be met but never asked for" (Facing the media, Geng Xiangzhi's evaluation of Li Changgeng was still low-key. less) has become the de facto core player of the national youth team. It was his three-pointer that directly led to the collapse of Australia in this game. In addition, Li Zhenhua, who played four consecutive games at the second center position, also continued to maintain a stable performance These players are still players in the national youth team, but it is certain that they will appear in the national team in a few years. It is these young players that let us see the bright future of Chinese basketball. Let us imagine that a few years later, Li When Chang Geng and Li Changgeng really grow up, what kind of lineup will our national team have. Maybe that is the time when our Chinese basketball will be established among the world's top teams."

"Relying on the outstanding results of the National Youth Team, it is a foregone conclusion that Geng Xiangzhi will be in charge of the national team. The national team facing the change of old and new will definitely need to select new members from this year's National Youth Team. Now the most dazzling four in the National Youth Team Famous players-Li Zheng, Sima Shenji, Song Liuming, and Li Changgeng were all trained and promoted by Geng Xiangzhi. It is hard to imagine that they would not have a place in the new Chinese team. With the addition of the former national players of the Jianle team, Geng Xiangzhi has not yet become a national player. The head coach of the national team, his direct line troops have already occupied half of the future national team..."

The night the game ended.

After seeing these reports on the Internet, Geng Xiangzhi turned off the computer with a smile on his lips.The phone rang, a celebratory call from Smith.

In the room of the national youth players, the players were chattering happily.They are all young people in their 20s, not yet mature enough to face such a victory and smile like Geng Xiangzhi.Some of the excited players were chasing and fighting, but when they were quiet, a few people got together to reminisce about today's game and talk nonsense to each other.

However, there are always exceptions, Li Changgeng's room is still silent at this moment.In the dark room, only the lamp in front of the desk was on.Li Changgeng, who was lying on the table, seemed to be immersed in calculations.Four sharpened pencils were lined up on the desk, and the one in his hand made five—it seemed that the subject he was studying was mathematics.This is his habit. Li Changgeng doesn't like mechanical pencils, so he prepares five pencils for spare before studying mathematics.Usually an uncle or aunt can tell what a nephew is doing just by looking at the pencil placed in front of him.

However, Li Changgeng, who was holding a pencil, was obviously distracted at the moment.

After such an intense competition at this age, it was already a miracle that he could still sit in front of the desk and review himself. It would be a monster if he could still concentrate as usual.

As if wanting to verify this assertion, after sighing, Li Changgeng turned his eyes to the book in front of him again, and the pencil in his hand began to "rustle..." again.

A monster indeed!

Like other members of the national youth team, Li Changgeng was also very happy about the victory, but he did not see the extraordinary significance of this victory like other members.In his eyes, this is a victory. After he is happy, it is time to review his homework, isn't it?
Li Changgeng was the primary contributor to the victory, how could he not come out and be happy with everyone at such a time of celebration.But every team member who wanted to knock on his door was told by Sima Shenji: "Don't bother him!"

When the lead of the fifth pencil was blunted, Li Changgeng's homework was over.He climbed into bed early but did not sleep until Sima Shenji came back, still staring at the ceiling with wide eyes.
