Basketball: If I can make a three-pointer, I must score

Ren'ai Academy, which had escaped the catastrophe, played even more slowly.

Ren Zhennan realized that Xiaoyu and Zhou Ran's counterattack speed should not be underestimated. If the counterattack suddenly accelerated in the middle of the game, they would be caught off guard.

He calls a pick-and-roll. Du Lan is an All-Star if he doesn't get the ball, but a blue-collar player when he gets the ball. With a very high-quality screen, that's the pick-and-roll, and the offensive opportunity comes out.

"Change over!"

Xiaoyu immediately asked Yu Gaoshuang to defend against Ren Zhennan. The advantage of a small lineup is that he can switch defenses with more confidence. Yu Gaoshuang can barely keep up with his speed. It just so happens that Du Lan doesn't seem to have much offensive ability, as long as he doesn't let him easily cut to catch the ball. .

On the other side, Tommy was catching the ball under the cover of Wen Zhiyu.Zhou Ran bypassed the screen and caught the ball for Tomic, but he did not lose his defensive position. It would be difficult for Tomic to single him out.

Unexpectedly, Tommy was just doing a hand-to-hand screen. Ren Zhennan finally got a chance this time, and his shots were decisive, even though his shooting percentage in the game was only about 30%.

Miss!

Yu Gaoshuang and Du Lan took off at the same time, and neither of them got stuck. One thought that he could rely on his jumping ability to win, and the other thought that his height advantage was enough.

But none of them grabbed it, and the basketball went out of the bottom line in their scramble.

The referee pointed with a big hand and pointed to the opposite half.

Yu Gaoshuang secretly laughed. He felt that he had touched the ball, but the referee gave it to the backcourt.

Du Lan didn't have any opinion on the referee's penalty, so he quickly returned to his backcourt to defend.

Everything seemed to be uneventful, both sides were looking for a feeling, and after more than three minutes of playing, the score was only 5:4.

Star University scored two points from Bai Youwei and Xiaoyu respectively. Yu Gaoshuang caused Du Lan to make two free throws and made one free throw. The defensive counterattack was fairly smooth, but it failed to quickly establish an advantage.

Zhang Bo and Wen Zhiyu got the 4 points of Ren'ai College, and they all got the chance to score through the team pick-and-roll.

The much-anticipated Tommy didn’t make any move on Zhou Ran’s battle for the strongest shooting guard. Tommy seemed to be just a very ordinary existence in Ren’ai, taking the ball and passing the ball, covering for his teammates, and doing everything.

Only those who are familiar with Ren'ai College know that under the leadership of Sun He, Ren'ai College is not Tommy's one-man team.

Their personal abilities are not high, so they need the strength of the team to support them.

Tomic also understands this very well. Sometimes he can win the game with a manpower battle for 40 minutes, but he cannot guarantee that every game can be like this.

Seeing that the defensive counterattack did not give any advantage, Ding Yike rarely called a timeout first.

Before the timeout, Wei Xiao and Feng Kangjian were called to warm up. There was no accident. The transfer of this timeout was to replace the two of them on the field and return to the positional battle.

Xiaoyu and Bai Youwei were replaced to fight at the door of their own house. Wei Xiao didn't expect to play so soon.

"Come on, Wei Xiao!"

Vaguely, he heard someone calling his name, and it was a girl.But looking at the densely packed stands, the exact source of the sound was not found.

Regardless, the most important thing is to focus on the game.He can't lose face in front of the whole school teachers and students.

Before the game, he specially reviewed the materials of Renai's main point guard.

Ren Zhennan is 1 meters tall. This height is nothing to Xiaoyu who is 9 centimeters shorter, but to Wei Xiao who just grows to 3 meters, it is a point that cannot be ignored in the confrontation.

This week, Wei Xiao looked at the system interface and found that his height has grown to 180. It seems that it is not in vain to earn money to supplement nutrition.

But this is at best a psychological impact. When he faced Ren Zhennan with the ball, he still felt the disadvantage brought by the height difference.

Fortunately, Ren Zhennan doesn't have the difficult singles ability like Ling Zhan, so he just needs to keep up to defend him.

It's just that it might be a bit more difficult to attack.

He couldn't match the opponent in height and speed, so Wei Xiao could only wait for the opportunity to catch him by surprise.

Liao Yufeng and Zhou Ran are both on the court. If Feng Kangjian can't do it inside, or call it a pick-and-roll, with the trick of sticky ball control, Wei Xiao has enough choices.

I remember Ding Yike said at the beginning that the focus of offense should be on the front line first. She didn't say who to give more offense to, that is, this policy remains unchanged.

So it was right to give the ball to Liao Yufeng.

The person facing Liao Yufeng has become No. 99 Dong Tian. Dong Tian opened his strong arms and stared at Liao Yufeng firmly.

Liao Yufeng was not in a hurry to spend his energy in singles, he called Feng Kangjian to pick and roll, Dong Tian chose to go around and let Liao Yufeng shoot.

He knew very well that Liao Yufeng was good at using breakthroughs to create opportunities, but COSCO was not particularly accurate.

Liao Yufeng knew that if he had no threat in COSCO, the opponent could keep letting it go like this, and shoot directly when he saw it.

hit!

It's a pity that this ball is not considered Wei Xiao's assist.

Dong Tian was somewhat annoyed that he failed to defend against Liao Yufeng for the first time.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality. He knew that Liao Yufeng couldn't continue to cast like this. After that, he would definitely let Liao Yufeng taste the taste of being guarded by a single sheet.

Ren'ai College insisted on playing as a team. After two back and forth, Ren Zhennan discovered a loophole in Star University.He called Du Lan for a pick-and-roll, and then exploded to accelerate the breakthrough.

Wei Xiao knew that Feng Kangjian couldn't switch, but he didn't realize that he should go around to defend.This can only be blamed on my lack of experience.

Ren Zhennan was able to tear through the defense of Xingchen University, Yu Gaoshuang had to make up the defense, and Wen Zhiyu got an easy shot.

clang!

Wei Xiao secretly rejoiced that the goal was not scored, otherwise he would have committed the blame.

Although Feng Kangjian has not fully recovered, it is relatively easy to protect a backcourt rebound.

The ball was given to Wei Xiao to organize a positional battle. Perhaps it was the last attack that made Ren Zhennan feel that Wei Xiao, a backup point guard, was not worth mentioning. He didn't start pressing, but just defended the three-point line.

Even Xiaoyu, who is the starter, is not worried about any problems with his defense at all.

Wei Xiao didn't want to be targeted by his opponents as soon as he came on the court, and to be criticized by the audience at home.

Without hesitation, he pulled up his shot two steps behind the three-point line.

The audience who knew a little bit about basketball opened their eyes wide, and Ren Zhennan was even more surprised. However, he was just surprised that Wei Xiao made the shot by himself, and he didn't think he could really get into it.

Swish!

The unusually loud sound of the basketball hitting the net ignited the first wave of cheers at the scene.

Whishaw's unexpected three-pointer made the audience pay attention to him.

"This kid."

"Why haven't you seen him before?"

"A newcomer, right? He should be Long Yuyu's successor."

In the crowd, a thin girl proudly introduced to the people around her: "His name is Wei Xiao, and he is a point guard."

Huang Zixuan was really happy. She didn't expect that the school team player she knew would be so good. She dribbled the ball by herself and scored a three-pointer.

It's just that Wei Xiao didn't even think about Tan Xin at the moment, as long as he plays now, he will devote himself wholeheartedly.

He was indeed a little excited about this three-pointer, but he had no waves when he returned to the backcourt.

After all, he is already familiar with the activation of Mamba Power.

For the first time, Ren'ai College felt the pressure of an away game, except for one person, that is Tommy.

Receiving the ball at a 45-degree angle, Tomic signaled his teammates to pull away.

Zhou Ran understood instantly, and signaled his teammates not to interfere.

"You are Zhou Ran."

Tommy was in no rush to attack.

"You are Tommy."

Zhou Ran responded indifferently.

The corner of Tommy's mouth rose, and he stopped talking nonsense.The sound of the basketball landing, Zhou Ran frowned immediately.

Generally attacking with the ball, three threats are the best way.

Because holding the ball in both hands to make fake shots or crossing steps and then rushing forward is a chance to break through. You can even take advantage of your opponent's inattention and use your own explosive power to pass in one step.

Even if it doesn't work, you can continue to dribble and make moves, and you have a second chance to get rid of the defense.

Tommy, however, did not do so.

He started dribbling very casually, which was equivalent to wasting a successful breakthrough opportunity in vain.

Zhou Ran understood very well that this was Tommy expressing that he only needed one chance to score the goal.

Against opponents who may be stronger than himself, Zhou Ran doesn't need to have any reservations.

He wants to intimidate the opponent in the first fight, if he doesn't do his best, the end will basically be a failure.

Tomic used his high-frequency dribble, veered to the left and then turned with astonishing speed.

However, Zhou Ran was always close to Tommy, which made Tommy's movements obviously not as stretched as before.

Due to his long wingspan, he must pay special attention to protecting the ball, and his center of gravity is extremely low.

Step back jump shot.

Tomic doesn't intend to entangle, for him, too many fancy operations are a burden.

Zhou Ran took advantage of his excellent reaction to jump up and interfere in time, and sealed it on Tommy's face.

If this can be done, he admits.

clang!

The basketball popped out, and Feng Kangjian continued to guard the rebound, not letting Zhou Ran's successful defense go to waste.

Feng Kangjian did not give the ball to Liao Yufeng, but to Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao already felt that he was being trusted by his teammates more and more, and he also had strong confidence to complete the task.

Ren Zhennan didn't dare to let Wei Xiao go, he stepped forward and pressed hard, as long as Wei Xiao made a move, he would block the shot.His height was his absolute advantage against Wei Xiao.

Even if Wei Xiao was given a chance to shoot, Wei Xiao would not take another shot. It is not yet the time to make a three-pointer.Using the sticky ball that he has become familiar with, while protecting the ball, he observes the running positions of his teammates from time to time, and analyzes which point is more likely to have a chance.

Although you can't look up all the time, this is already a significant improvement.

"Give the ball!"

Zhou Ran's desire for the ball was particularly strong. He couldn't get rid of Tommy, but he already had a good position.

Wei Xiao first made a false pass in the direction of Liao Yufeng, and then sent a pass to hit the earth.

To be honest, he passed the ball a bit falsely, after all, his passing ability has just reached 65.

Fortunately, the basketball went to Zhou Ran's hands smoothly, and then everyone was very conscious. Tommy was not successful in singles just now, and now he has to play Zhou Ran's singles.

Turn around with the ball!

No nonsense, Zhou Ran launched an attack in less than a second after receiving the ball.

Tommy kept up with full speed and continued to exert confrontation, making it difficult for Zhou Ran to accelerate again.

But Zhou Ran slowed down first, and found some space by using the change of rhythm.

Speed ​​up again!

Tommy had no choice but to follow passively. Zhou Ran was in control of the initiative, and suddenly took a step back, taking advantage of the opportunity to pull out his hand.

If only relying on reaction to defend, Tommy thinks he can't defend.So he predicted in advance that Zhou Ran might stop suddenly and get rid of it.

Although it was still half a step slow, Tommic still touched the basketball with his unreasonable wingspan.The audience may not see clearly, but the players on the field will see clearly.

Because Tomic touched the ball, the ball hit the front of the basket and went too far.

With Du Lan's solid positioning, the two forwards competed for rebounds at the same time, Ren Ai protected the rebound, and then it was Tommy's turn to attack.

The showdown of the strongest shooting guard seems to have begun.

Tomic chose to catch the ball on the wing. This time he used three threats first, but the play still felt very casual. After making an extremely realistic breakthrough move, he directly pulled out his hand.

Zhou Ran only felt that he was underestimated, so he exploded with his jumping power. He was indeed almost deceived by Tommy's fake action, but this time the interference was only almost touching the basketball, almost touching Tommy's cylinder, Maybe as long as a few centimeters forward, a foul will be called.

Still not going in!

This made the small cheering group on the bench and stands of Ren'ai College feel disappointed and uneasy.

The game lasted more than 5 minutes and their team scored only 4 points.

Tomic began his own attack decisively, but was single-guarded and missed two goals.

If even South China's No. [-] shooting guard is guarded to death, wouldn't they have no hope.

Fortunately, Tomic's defense is also impenetrable.In the next few rounds, Tommy and Zhou Ran were mainly attacking. Liao Yufeng didn't care about Ding Yike's arrangements, and generously gave up the ball to Zhou Ran to challenge Tommy.

The two shooting guards are no longer sticking to singles, and have tried without the ball.

But no one could break through whose defense, neither of them scored a point.

In the middle of the first half, when the score reached 16-8, Sun He finally called the first timeout.

The first round of confrontation between Zhou Ran and Tommy was tied, Liao Yufeng scored 4 points, Dong Tian's defense can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

If this continues, the score will reach double digits sooner or later. It is time for Ren'ai College to show a real team defense and let Xingchen University experience the feeling that a point is hard to come by.
