Chapter 160 Reserve Team Situation (24)
This can't be called "matching opponents at chess", Li Yifan's ability is no longer equal to Zhang Feng's!A sense of despair leaked from the bottom of my heart.
Only when he played against Xiangfan No. [-] Middle School last year did he experience the feeling of despair.
That's the feeling that no matter how hard you try, you can't get past your opponent.
You stand on the mountains and think that all the mountains are under your feet and raise your head, but there are people standing on the clouds!
Zhang Feng is not someone who has never seen the world. He has watched many professional basketball game videos since he was a child, most of which are precious nba games.How many times he has imitated the action fantasies of NBA stars to make unbelievable performances.Some movements he can imitate; but some movements he knows he will never be able to imitate.Michael Jordan's flight in the air is a miracle that ordinary people cannot reproduce!
But this seemingly ordinary player in front of him actually used an air dodge that is extremely similar to Jordan!Jump up and completely change the air position and shooting rhythm to completely open the gap!This is an impossible defensive action unless the opponent is also a Michael? Jordan!
Zhang Feng's faith almost collapsed!
Li Yifan watched the ball go into the net, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and ran over to high-five his teammates.He didn't know that this was an aerial dodge that Jordan used to tease his opponents, and he had never done a lot of practice for such an action. It was only occasionally that he could change the shooting position and rhythm in mid-air, which could catch defenders off guard, so he thought of using such a move. Moves to break through the defense of the horse cannon.
Finally scoring a goal in front of Ma Pao made Li Yifan feel much better immediately.
In many cases, it is a mood or a spirit that affects a player's performance.Mental power is a part that cannot be ignored. The so-called "changing" or "falling into a low ebb" is the influence of spiritual power.
From the perspective of actual offensive technology, it is impossible for Ma Pao to completely strangle Li Yifan...
Zhang Feng rushed to the front court and still faced Wang Ningyu and Ma Wenqiang's two-man defensive cannon.At this time, the Hongyuan reserve team had already gambled that they believed that Ma Pao would not take the initiative to attack and focused all their defense on Zhang Feng.Li Yifan, on the other hand, has received star-level treatment, so he doesn't need to expend energy to defend now.All he has to do is attack and attack!
A peak duel has evolved into an offensive competition between two basketball masters!
On one side is Zhang Feng, who has long been famous and talented, and on the other side is Li Yifan, who has emerged from obscurity.
Every time he encounters fierce battles and big battles, it is the stage for Li Yifan to go out to fight.When he scored 4 points in the last game, it was a bloody vocational high school match; today, in the same match, Li Yifan once again stood at the forefront of the Hongyuan reserve team...
Wang Ningyu and Ma Wenqiang's defensive ability cannot be overstated no matter how much they praise, they are also quick in response, flexible in footsteps, and tenacious in momentum. Even individually, they are rare defensive masters.Two people deal with a player at the same time, just by imagining, you can know what kind of impregnable wall it is!
It's a pity that actual combat is not imagination.
Zhang Feng has no fear in the face of the double defense.He chose Ma Wenqiang as the breakthrough point, first used his body to force himself, then turned around and then pretended to shoot. When Wang Ningyu's center of gravity was attracted, he turned around the third time and pulled back like a hook and shot directly to the basket!
Such beautiful steps!Li Yifan thought to himself.There is no gorgeous ball control, no amazing skills, what Zhang Feng relies on is the coordinated use of the body and the precise judgment of the defender.
49:61 The point difference is still 12 points, because the two-man defense did not kill Zhang Feng's attack, and every chasing point by Li Yifan became useless.Now it's all about offensive efficiency.
A person can score but the most test of a person is the ability to keep scoring.
Li Yifan controlled the ball and advanced the ball to Wang Ningyu, who then passed it back.The Hongyuan reserve team pulled their cannons around and still stuck to Li Yifan.At this time, Li Yifan, who had adapted to the horse cannon defense, was no longer so flustered. He held the ball from a distance and began to dribble slowly while leaning on the horse cannon to push forward step by step.
Ma Pao's body looks about the same as Zhang Feng's, but in fact, he is much stronger, but Li Yifan can't get in with his lower body.
Li Yifan was not in a hurry either, he glanced at Ma Wenqiang, suddenly received the ball and started to use his left foot as the axis, quickly drew a semicircle with his right foot, and the horse cannon immediately caught up.At the same time, Li Yifan suddenly changed to his right foot in the middle of the road, suddenly retracted his whole body obliquely, and escaped from the horse cannon at an incredible angle!
Ma Pao secretly yelled that it was not good to step over and stretched out his hand, but it was still a beat slower!
Li Yifan has already made a shot, his arms stretched forward very long, his palms down, and his eyes are fixed on the basketball flying in the air until it hits the basket with a "swish" sound!
"Good job!" Wang Tao shouted.
"He is finally not afraid of cannonballs!" Ma Long said excitedly with a sigh of relief.
"That's not enough. No one can stop Zhang Feng and still can't catch up!" Bai Nanfeng shook his head and said, "The current score difference is always about 1 points, and there are only ten minutes before the end of the game."
Panting, Wang Ningyu looked at Zhang Feng, who was dribbling the ball, with mixed feelings in his heart.Only at this moment did he really know how terrifying Zhang Feng was. Even his joint defense with Ma Wenqiang couldn't resist the opponent's attack.A chill came to my heart.Wang Ningyu looked at Li Yifan who was standing with Wang Fanfan over there, and couldn't believe how Li Yifan blocked Zhang Feng continuously just now...
Before Zhang Feng crossed the half-court, Wang Ningyu and Ma Wenqiang rushed forward and surrounded each other tightly.Zhang Feng immediately passed the ball to Ma Pao, then squeezed through the gap between Wang Ningyu and Ma Wenqiang, took Ma Pao's pass, and fiercely inserted into the three-point line!
At this moment, I can see how good Zhang Feng's basic skills are. Under Ma Wenqiang's personal interference, Zhang Feng's dribbling rhythm is not disrupted at all, and his ability to protect the ball is top-notch!
One step, two steps Zhang Feng jumped into the air at the free throw line and stretched his arms straight as if walking in the clouds. When he rose to the highest point, he gently picked up the basketball with his palm and floated up!
Ma Pao suddenly yelled, at the same time an orange-red figure flew over obliquely, his arms were almost parallel to Zhang Feng, and Li Yifan's face appeared in front of Zhang Feng's eyes, as if he heard a muffled cry: "Don't think about it!"
The basketball that flew up from Zhang Feng's hands without a sound suddenly changed direction and shot out of the boundary like an arrow!
Such a chic block directly slapped Zhang Feng's layup and immediately inspired the fighting spirit of all Wang Tao's players!
"Fuck!" Ma Longqiang actually cursed, "Awesome! This kind of layup is blown away!"
"It seems that Li Yifan is the only one who can defend Zhang Feng!" Bai Nanfeng exclaimed, "It's amazing! I'm so excited!" As he said that, Bai Nanfeng actually pulled Ma Longqiang up and jumped up, so excited that he was incoherent!
Ma Longqiang quickly shook off Bai Nanfeng's hand and said with wide eyes, "Pay attention to your image! Why do you look like a child?"
Bai Nanfeng laughed and said, "I'm so excited! Someone who is better at attacking than Zhang Feng is better at defending than Ma Pao! He alone can match up to the twin stars of Nangao's reserve team who can both attack and defend." I am so lucky to be a genius!"
Ma Long laughed twice: "Hurry up and take pictures to write a special report for our Li Yifan!"
Bai Nanfeng kept saying that he would pick up the camera and prepare to take pictures.
After the shot was blocked, Li Yifan and Zhang Feng landed at the same time. Others could clearly see that Li Yifan's eyes were so excited, while Zhang Feng was in a daze, as if he had returned to the state at the beginning of the game.He shook his head as if to drive away the uneasy feeling and ran over to catch Wang Fanfan's ball.
It was still Wang Ningyu and Ma Wenqiang who ran to defend Zhang Feng.Affected by that block, Zhang Feng suddenly lost his temper and did not forcefully break through the defense.Who would have thought that Zhang Feng had 4 blocked shots in one game (including 1 by Wang Ningyu and 3 by Li Yifan), while Li Yifan of the opponent almost all completed the shocking shots that were the most morale-destroying !
Coach Zhang Shaofeng paced anxiously and murmured, "Wang Tao is too cunning..." As a coach, he naturally saw it more clearly than ordinary people.Li Yifan's defensive ability is good, but it has not yet reached a level worthy of praise, let alone restraining players of Zhang Feng's level.But Wang Tao adopted a very suitable method to block Zhang Feng with a double defense first, and then Li Yifan made a supplementary defense and used the same amazing jumping ability to complete the block in the air!
Although this is enough to show that Li Yifan has a strong ability to predict and has a good sense of defense, but after all, he is supplementary defense and can make correct judgments in ample time, which has brought unprecedented pressure to Zhang Feng.What Zhang Feng actually has to face is the defensive pressure of the three players...
Coach Zhang Shaofeng was startled suddenly.It seems that the real strength of Wang Tao's team is the tacit team defense.As far as he knows, Wang Tao is not a good defensive coach. Who on earth taught these children such professional defensive skills and cultivated their team defensive ability to assist and complement defense?
At this time, Liao Xian went to the basket to make a shot but failed to hit it, and Dong Yu grabbed the rebound.
This round, the Hongyuan reserve team finally defended. If they can seize the offensive opportunity, they can successfully pull the point difference into single digits.Whether the point difference can be further narrowed or even realized before the start of the fourth quarter can be said to affect the final outcome of this game.
But no one thought that such an important round of attack could be completed so easily.
The ball was not passed in Li Yifan's hands.He advanced to the three-point line without slowing down and could no longer move forward. Ma Pao dutifully defended closely and did not relax at all.The audience thought that Li Yifan was going to repeat the same action as last time to shoot with a shake, but they were wrong.
Li Yifan received the ball and wobbled once to the left, suddenly took a step back and turned around to shoot a jumper!
This is completely a replica of Zhang Feng's offense. This is Zhang Feng's best scoring method.Such a simple step-back jump shot stumped many defensive champions who were facing Zhang Feng.
But Ma Pao is different. He is the only player Zhang Feng is afraid of using step-back jumpers.
Just before Li Yifan shot with a slightly backward shot, Ma Pao had made an accurate judgment and stretched out his hand to cover Li Yifan's eyes!Blindfolding is a common technique used by defensive masters. Ordinary pitchers must use their eyes to estimate the strength and angle of a basketball shot. Once blindfolded, even a normal feeling will affect the mind and make a wrong judgment.
The horse cannon couldn't reach the basketball in Li Yifan's hand, but it firmly covered Li Yifan's vision!
Li Yifan's posture in mid-air is still steady, and the shooting angle has not shifted at all.Pause, take a shot, the basketball draws a beautiful arc and flies straight into the sky!
Before the cannon hit the ground, he looked back at the basket.
The crisp sound of "唰" clearly told Ma Pao to tell everyone present that he, like Li Yifan, could easily score with Zhang Feng's step-back shot and defenseless shots!
Ma Pao's face turned pale.Li Yifan has already scored three consecutive shots in front of him and thus caught up to 53:61.As the core of the Nangao reserve team and the absolute main force that always defends the opponent's trump card, he has never disappointed coach Zhang Shaofeng and his teammates. Under his close guard, he has driven many talented offensive masters crazy.After oppressing Li Yifan for two quarters, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness...
It seems that Li Yifan has broken free from the shackles and let go of the control.
In the next round, Zhang Feng got rid of Wang Ningyu's defense and forced a shot in front of Ma Wenqiang, but he missed. Liao Xian went to grab the offensive rebound and still missed.Ma Wenqiang rushed over to grab the rebound and hugged him tightly!
Coach Zhang Shaofeng stood up and prepared to call a timeout.It is not far from the end of the third quarter. Seeing Wang Tao go from a few points behind to catch up to 8 points is really restless.But he couldn't think of any way to restore the current situation!
Li Yifan's dribbling is like a trump card, he has lost the greenness that belonged to the rookie at the beginning.He has gradually matured in the competition along the way, and today's repeated contests with Ma Pao have brought his psychology and skills to a new level again!
It is also a rare honor to meet a good opponent.
He leaned over to dribble with his back against the cannon.From Ma Pao's point of view, Li Yifan is likely to continue with the same style of play just now, so he just needs to put the opponent on the three-point line.Maybe his attention was all on this, but he didn't think that Li Yifan suddenly disappeared from his eyes!
That kind of phantom-like breakthrough footsteps reminds me of the most proud "misty step".In just an instant, Li Yifan disappeared in front of the defensive expert Ma Pao!
This kind of breakthrough not only pays attention to speed and explosive power, but also some small but very important skills.In fact, there is an extremely subtle fake action before the shaking, which is difficult for outsiders to see, but the defender will make a wrong estimate because of this fake action. When seizing the gap between the opponent's psychological and physical reactions, using long strides and sharp turns can be used in a very short time. Get rid of opponents within a short time.
Li Yifan has already had a deep understanding of this kind of breakthrough pace with many rounds of face-to-face competitions.This is the most precious quality of Li Yifan.
When Ma Pao reacted, Li Yifan had already moved two steps away and quickly cut to the inside line!
Due to the unexpected speed of his movements, Zhang Feng subconsciously rushed over to stop the helpless opponent's speed, which had already increased and swished past.Zhang Feng's obstruction not only failed to work but also became Li Yifan's background.
At this time, Li Yifan had no other thoughts, he bent over and only cared about cutting forward like a predatory cheetah, the speed of crossing the half-court in an instant is like lightning and indescribable!
When power forward Du Dewei rushed over, Li Yifan kicked his left foot on the ground and flew up into the air!
Since Du Dewei rushed from the front and Li Yifan had already prepared to take off along a diagonal line.Therefore, Du Dewei's blockade this time will not have any effect unless Li Yifan disarms and surrenders.Taking off obliquely and flying towards the basket made Li Yifan's air posture especially graceful this time!
The white crane dances.The longbow shoots at the sun.No matter how you describe it, it cannot be so beautiful.
Li Yifan bent his feet slightly and passed by Du Dewei, and at the same time his hands holding the ball pulled back to avoid Du Dewei's palm, and his whole body floated to the right side of the basket like a glider, like a flying meteor!
It was as if he was making an unimaginable lateral movement at the highest point and Du Dewei was already falling.
All the widened eyes were looking at the sky, and Zhang Feng's gaze carried an extremely complicated expression.Ma Pao's eyes showed a kind of despair that he had never seen before.The all-powerful twin stars of the Nangao reserve team never expected to meet such an opponent today...
Li Yifan didn't know how high he flew.Just like when he jumped up in the corridor of the dormitory building, the tall light bulb was suddenly in front of his eyes and he could pick it up.Now the white net and strong basket are within reach!
Let go of the left hand and use the inertia to hold the ball with the right hand and dunk into the basket with a "click" sound!
His body in the air is like a longbow after shooting an arrow, and he suddenly unfurls the net like a drop of water falling into the sea, causing beautiful ripples!
After landing, Li Yifan, who was 1.7 meters eight, staggered two steps and stood firm with a smile.
He ran to the backcourt with a faint smile on his face.Wang Ningyu and Ma Wenqiang rushed up to give him a high five.There was a moment of silence in the basketball hall, and thunderous applause suddenly broke out. They undoubtedly dedicated their appreciation to this young genius from Hongyuan.Today is the first time that the protagonist is not Zhang Feng but this boy with clear eyes and kind face.
Coach Zhang Shaofeng was still sitting in his seat silently, with his hands folded in front of his nose, his gaze never leaving Li Yifan.Ma Pao obviously can't afford the defensive task anymore. Zhang Feng once again fell into a downturn. The Nangao reserve team will also reach a turning point. Wang Tao's momentum is like a rainbow...
But coach Zhang Shaofeng has no chance to pause.
Damn Hongyuan's tenacious counterattack again and again, wave after wave of shocking offense and defense made the always calm coach Zhang Shaofeng lose his position and constantly rely on timeouts to encourage and guide the players.At this point the pause has been exhausted.
And does pausing really work?It is soldiers, not military divisions, who charge on the front line.The complexity and changeability of the battlefield can't guarantee a decisive victory thousands of miles away!
At the end of the third quarter, the score was 63:67. The South High Reserve team only retained a 4-point advantage.
From the expressions on both sides, it can be seen that the level of the score does not fully explain the strength or weakness.The Hongyuan reserve team was full of sunshine, although they were sweating profusely, they were full of fighting spirit. They drank water and excitedly gathered around Wang Tao to discuss how to play in the last quarter; while the Nangao reserve team over there was lifeless. Zhang Feng looked gloomy. Coach Zhang Shaofeng spattered. Talking about horse cannons, he looked at Zhang Feng worriedly from time to time.
The fans in the basketball arena were chattering and chattering.Obviously most of the students are anxious. This game is the most difficult game for the South High Reserves team in a long time.In the past, as long as Gemini was present, no team could pose any threat within the half court.
The explosion of Li Yifan, a new star, has indeed become a cancer that the Nangao reserve team cannot cure.
If this situation is allowed to continue, the Nangao reserve team will inevitably face failure.But coach Zhang Shaofeng really didn't have much to do.The most important thing right now is how to inspire the fighting spirit of the players, especially Zhang Feng's fighting spirit.In the closing minutes of the third quarter, he missed one of his three attempts.The two-person defense of Wang Ningyu and Ma Wenqiang played a very good role.
"Combined defense!" Coach Zhang Shaofeng gritted his teeth and said, "Block Li Yifan completely and Wang Fanfan and Ma Pao go to the joint defense!"
Ma Pao nodded and said nothing.There is really no other way. The other side adopts a zone defense to deal with Zhang Feng. They can't be too restrained. Facing Li Yifan, who is extremely powerful in attack, they can only use a two-man zone defense.
"Zhang Feng, come on!"
"Zhang Feng, come on!"
"Zhang Feng, come on!"
The whistle sounded for the fourth quarter, followed by cheers like a tsunami in the basketball arena.The fans gathered their hands into trumpets and shouted Zhang Feng's name desperately.In their minds, Zhang Feng is the representative of this championship team, that is, the body without the soul is numb and terrible.Only by awakening Zhang Feng's fighting spirit can they see a truly promising team.
Isn't this year the year of hope for all Nangao reserve team students?
Zhang Feng's experience in participating in the National League has enriched his personal ability and improved again.Ma Pao has truly become a star who can stand alone and has become Zhang Feng's powerful arm.And other players have also improved a lot.Everyone thinks that this is one of the most powerful clubs in the history of the South High Reserves. They have the ability to enter the National League and make history!
No one thought that this hopeful team would encounter extremely severe challenges in the promotion match of Suzhou Province!
Li Yifan led the Hongyuan reserve team back to the field.He looked at Zhang Feng who was coming across, thinking about what Wang Tao said just now.
"Strength and weakness are relative terms. If you are one point stronger, your opponent is two points weaker. I must apologize to Li Yifan for my previous thoughts. Our sports coaches all think that Li Yifan's talent is very good, but he is psychologically fragile and even worried that he will be difficult. Take on the big responsibility. Look at Li Yifan's performance today. He made Zhang Feng, who is known as the No.1 basketball player in Yichang High School, a weakling. It’s not that you have become stronger, it’s that you are stronger than them! Only the strongest can win the game!”
The last quarter of the game has begun.
As soon as Li Yifan got the ball in the backcourt, Wang Fanfan and Ma Pao pressed forward.The Nangao reserve team immediately launched a full-court press and finally made up their minds to double defend Li Yifan!Apart from other things, this is definitely a very high salary for Li Yifan, a newcomer.
Li Yifan threw the ball to Wang Ningyu who supported him without hesitation.Wang Fanfan and Ma Pao were still closely following Li Yifan, while Wang Ningyu was completely let go.They calculated that Wang Ningyu did not have any offensive ability today.
