Chapter 159 Reserve Team Situation (23)
Li Yifan was not frustrated when he failed to guard Zhang Feng's step-back jumper.
He and Zhang Feng thought that the points lost in the defense can be made up for in the next round of offense.
The confidence in facing Zhang Feng finally made Li Yifan start to show the true qualities of a top scorer.It should be said that the true colors of a pitcher.A full year ago, Li Yifan won the praise of many people by relying on his stunt of piercing Yang with a hundred steps.Now the three-pointer has become his weapon to defeat the enemy again.
The three-pointer is definitely the number one magic weapon for chasing points when the score is greatly behind.
Zhang Feng, who is in the opposite position, is so lax in defending outside the three-point line.
Li Yifan quickly flew to Jiang Dongyu's side and took advantage of Jiang Dongyu's short-term wall to jump and shoot!Neither Wang Fanfan nor Zhang Feng expected that the opponent would still choose a three-pointer and Jiang Dongyu's barrier would cause no one to interfere.
"Shua" the Nets turned up high again and the basketball hit the basket accurately!
Two consecutive three-pointers instantly chased the score to 42:54!
The audience began to discuss and almost everyone looked at Wang Tao's Li Yifan with admiration.Many players have only one extraordinary ability, and they repeatedly reproduce this ability in the game, such as Wang Tao's breakthrough, Ma Pao's defense, etc. The so-called one-shot, eats all over the world.Only Zhang Feng showed different basketball skills from time to time.
The Li Yifan in front of him acted even more strangely.At the beginning, he made a high-altitude dunk with amazing jumping ability, followed by a precise mid-range shot. After being blocked by the horse cannon for two full quarters, he suddenly blocked Zhang Feng's inevitable shots. Then he showed an extremely high breakthrough ability. When he was behind by a big score, he was able to hit two three-pointers in a row!
Even coach Zhang Shaofeng, who has seen countless people, was completely in admiration.
While admiring, he felt sorry for Li Yifan.Because there is no technology that can settle down, and it is difficult to have a longer-term future if you are just a miscellaneous.He keenly sees that Li Yifan is far from finalized. He has amazing talents in all aspects, but he doesn't know how to dig and use them...
Just when coach Zhang Shaofeng was sighing, Zhang Feng's mid-range shot failed to hit Hongyuan's reserve team and immediately launched a fast break and rushed over.Although their ball transfer is not as fast as the Nangao reserve team, they are very stable and have a good understanding and rarely make mistakes.And their current goal is very clear-hand the ball to Li Yifan and let him attack!
"Sure enough, their offensive focus has shifted to Li Yifan," coach Zhang Shaofeng murmured, "It is necessary to switch players to defend. The horse cannon should be able to play a role. After all, Li Yifan is too tender."
Before the words finished, coach Zhang Shaofeng's eyeballs almost popped out!
Under Zhang Feng's desperate pressure, Li Yifan actually took off two steps away from the three-point line!
Few people can guarantee a stable shooting line at such a long distance.But this is a point where Li Yifan often practices shooting.Shots from this distance are not far behind the standard [-]-point line.This is Li Yifan's super weapon specially prepared for use at critical moments in the competition.
That pleasant sound in midair set off a frenzy of Wang Tao's counterattack!
45:54!Li Yifan's three consecutive three-pointers instantly narrowed the point difference to single digits - 9 points!
"Come on, Hongyuan! Come on, Hongyuan!" Wang Tao's cheerleaders shouted harder!Wang Ningyu, Ma Longqiang and Bai Nanfeng joined the cheerleading ranks with enthusiasm.However, the momentum of the students in the South High Reserve Team faltered. Seeing the advantage of more than 2 points be ruined silently, it is really a terrifying thing.
"Beep—" the referee blew his whistle to request a timeout.
Amidst the warm applause, the Hongyuan reserve team came off the field to welcome the cheers of brothers and alumni.Especially Li Yifan, with a happy expression that he hadn't seen for a long time, was high-fiving his friends one by one.Wang Taohe and others also came forward and patted him on the shoulder to express their appreciation and encouragement.
"Li Yifan played well! Ma Wenqiang played well!" Wang Tao said repeatedly, "Everyone played very well! You must continue to maintain this momentum and give full play to your rhythm and your advantages!"
"Yes!" The Hongyuan reserve team shouted in unison.
Over there, coach Zhang Shaofeng assigned the task with a serious expression, "Mapao, I will give you a death order now, you must prevent that Li Yifan to death no matter what, and contain his attack. I believe you can do it."
Ma Pao nodded sullenly.
"We need to pass the ball faster and Zhang Feng's shots need to be more decisive!" Coach Zhang Shaofeng continued, "Now is not a joke, the inside must guard the rebound!"
Wang Tao looked at coach Zhang Shaofeng and said with a smile: "The South High Reserve Team will definitely let Ma Pao to defend Li Yifan, who wants to strangle our first scoring point. Li Yifan, what do you think?"
Li Yifan was silent for a moment, bit his lip and said, "I...not sure."
"Hmm..." Wang Tao's face became serious.He originally thought that Li Yifan had established a long-lost confidence in the crazy pursuit of points just now, but he didn't expect that Li Yifan still had lingering fears about Ma Pao's defense.In Wang Tao's view, this is just Li Yifan's psychological problem rather than a technical problem.
Wang Tao and he looked at each other.So do they.The breakthrough ability that Li Yifan showed against Zhang Feng just now is on par with the top breakthrough masters in Jiangsu Province.
Wang Tao said suddenly: "Let's try another lineup. Li Yifan, you play point guard Wang Ningyu, shooting guard Ma Wenqiang, small forward power forward Jiang Dongyu, and center forward Dongyu. Let's catch the opponent by surprise!"
What Wang Tao meant was not only to increase Li Yifan's ball possession time so that he can decide the tactical play, but also let Wang Ningyu and Ma Wenqiang play at the same time to assist Li Yifan to put pressure on the opponent.He and Wang Tao nodded in unison.This is indeed a strange move, I am afraid that the other party will not expect it.
After all, Li Yifan is a child and he didn't think it through so thoroughly.He only knows that although the point guard can have more opportunities to hold the ball, but at the same time it brings more serious physical problems.What's more important is that his playing point guard is a bit like stealing Jiang Dongyu's job. After all, Jiang Dongyu is a point guard.
When the whistle sounded, Li Yifan led his teammates onto the court.
Coach Zhang Shaofeng was really surprised by their formation.
Li Yifan went up to meet Wang Fanfan, and Wang Ningyu aimed at Zhang Feng. Ma Wenqiang was also active near Zhang Feng.Dongyu and Jiangdongyu Hongyuan, the two tallest brothers in the reserve team, stood around the penalty area and were ready to block the opponent's inside offense and grab rebounds at any time.
When Wang Fanfan controlled the ball near the three-point line, he saw Li Yifan posting it and couldn't help but shudder.He has seen Li Yifan's defensive ability. Fortunately, Wang Fanfan is not the main scoring point of the South High Reserve Team. Wang Tao's formation may waste Li Yifan's defensive ability...
The Nangao reserve team passed the ball quickly but it eventually fell into Zhang Feng's hands.At this time, Zhang Feng stood near the two-point line with his back to Wang Ningyu.This is the distance he is most familiar with, whether it is a breakthrough or a turnaround jumper, he is sure.
"You still want to try?" Zhang Feng did not forget to sneer at Wang Ningyu who came back to the stage.
Wang Ningyu snorted and did not answer.
Zhang Feng began to dribble the ball with his back against Wang Ningyu and moved slowly, but Wang Ningyu's horse gait was very steady and powerful, and he could hardly push forward.Zhang Feng looked quite calm in this familiar position. He waved his hands easily and swayed his body, turning around as if it didn't take much effort, just a backward!
Without Li Yifan's personal care, Zhang Feng took action a little later than before.
An orange-red figure flew over and with a shout, the man waved his hand and hit Zhang Feng's hand!
"Beep—" At the same time as the whistle sounded, the basketball in Zhang Feng's hand fell steadily into the basket!
Ma Wenqiang cursed "Damn" and raised his hand.
Zhang Feng rubbed his wrist and watched Ma Wenqiang walk to the free throw line.
He understood what the other party meant, so it turned out that this was to liberate Li Yifan's defensive task and at the same time use two people to assist in defense to contain his Zhang Feng's attack.Wang Ningyu's main defense is Ma Wenqiang waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball or block a shot.This is really smart enough and also poses a great threat to Zhang Feng...
Coach Zhang Shaofeng frowned.
A smile flickered across the corner of Zhang Feng's mouth.He likes this kind of challenge, no matter what defensive obstacles the opponent sets up, even if Li Yifan and Wang Ningyu team up, Zhang Feng is not afraid!This kind of joint defense can only show that Zhang Feng's ability can only arouse his fighting spirit and confidence!
Zhang Feng heaved a sigh of relief and hit the basketball steadily!
45:57 Nangao reserve team pulled the advantage to more than 1o points again.
"Defend! Defend! Defend!" The fans of the Nangao reserve team yelled in unison. In the rhythmic shouts, the cannons rushed across the half court and stared at Li Yifan who was in possession of the ball.They want to carry out an all-court press to prevent Li Yifan from making a move at any cost!
Wang Tao looked at Li Yifan nervously.
As soon as Ma Pao came forward, Li Yifan bent down and dribbled the ball at a low altitude, always keeping a certain distance from the opponent.This decent point guard movement is of course learned from seeing Jiang Dongyu, but it is also very useful.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ningyu wanted to step forward to help, but Li Yifan signaled him to go away.
Li Yifan took two steps back and suddenly changed hands behind his back and dribbled the ball. The center of gravity of the cannon immediately moved!At the same time, Li Yifan made another beautiful behind-the-back change of hands. At this time, it was too late to save Li Yifan, who watched Li Yifan rush over!
"Beautiful!" Wang Tao couldn't help sighing.This kind of continuous behind-the-scenes change of hands is rarely seen in actual combat.
But Ma Pao will never let it go, his style is stalking.When Li Yifan went straight to the frontcourt, the speed of the cannon was also very fast. In three or two steps, he stepped forward and stretched his slender arm directly towards Li Yifan's hand that controlled the ball.This person really never forgets to actively create trouble for his opponent!
Li Yifan immediately stopped and gestured with his left hand.
Dongyu pulled to the middle, Ma Wenqiang and Wang Ningyu swished past Dongyu like two sharp arrows drawing arcs!This is another tactic that Zhang Pingya mentioned to the Hongyuan reserve team before this game, but due to the time limit, he just talked about some essentials in a superficial way and personally led it back and forth a few times.
When Li Yifan passed to Ma Wenqiang and Ma Wenqiang passed to Sai Dongyu and Dongyu and then passed to Wang Ningyu, Zhang Feng found himself out of position!
The so-called tactics are mostly done by using various pick-and-rolls and making walls and applying many kinds of running routes.Zhang Feng met his teammates, Dongyu and Ma Wenqiang's repeated blocking, and Wang Ningyu's speed was as fast as lightning. When he ran to the outside line, he found that Wang Ningyu had turned back to the inside line to receive Dongyu's pass!
Wang Ningyu stepped up without dribbling the ball in two steps. He held the basketball in his left hand and lightly supported his injured right hand. The explosive force instantly activated his body and rushed straight up!
Liao Xianqu, who was defending Dongyu, reacted and jumped up to stop Wang Ningyu.But in mid-air, he suddenly realized that Wang Ningyu's wrist was injured and he had cheated several free throws, so he took back his outstretched hand!
Wang Ningyu had a clear view above the basket, vented all his anger, and poured his left hand fiercely towards the basket!
"Kacha" sounded the audience startled!
The scoring champion who averaged 25 points per game was willing to be unknown due to his wrist injury, and the defensive engineer finally regained his true colors at this time and successfully dunked with his left hand!
Zhang Feng couldn't help being moved, and Liao Xianqu's eyes widened in surprise.
"Are you all right!" Li Yifan asked with high-five with Wang Ningyu who ran over.
"It's okay!" Wang Ningyu was obviously very excited. "It's cool! It's been a while since I've done this!"
Standing on the sidelines, Wang Tao smiled gratifiedly and said, "What a good guy, he can't use his right hand and still has his left hand!"
In the next round, Zhang Feng rushed forward with the ball but hesitated for a moment.Wang Ningyu and Ma Wenqiang, the two fastest and quick-response forwards in the Hongyuan reserve team, joined forces to seal the progress of the ace of the Nangao reserve team.From left to right, they stared coldly at Zhang Fengli, who had cast a copper wall that was almost impossible to pass through.
"It's up to you." Coach Zhang Shaofeng said in a low voice.
Zhang Feng dribbled the ball and laughed "hehe".
"It seems that Wang Tao is determined to block our offense," coach Zhang Shaofeng said, "and let them both defend Zhang Feng. But they forgot that such a defense will inevitably lead to leaks..."
Zhang Feng dribbled the ball and glanced at the horse cannon over there, but didn't intend to pass the ball.
Ma Pao also stood expressionlessly outside the three-point line and noticed that Zhang Feng had no intention of asking for the ball.He is one of the twin stars, but he is also used to playing according to Zhang Feng's will, and he is used to only stepping up and contributing when Zhang Feng has no way to deal with it.
"He's going to hit two." Wang Tao said with a smile, "Zhang Feng is really arrogant!"
"It would be very difficult for these two defenses to break through..." Ma Longqiang said.
"The most important thing to break the double defense is the timing." Zhang Feng suddenly passed by Ma Wenqiang before he finished speaking!He changed hands almost without any warning, so he took a direct step and slapped the ball and rushed to Ma Wenqiang's right side!
But Ma Wenqiang's reaction was very fast after all. He just stretched out his hand and stepped forward. Zhang Feng, who was like a whirlwind, completely ignored Ma Wenqiang's hands and feet like a speeding tank, and Zhang Feng had already rushed over!
It's not just a question of rhythm and speed. This is the physical confrontation that professional players pay attention to most. It's the kind of breakthrough that uses the momentum of the body to kill a bloody path!
Wang Ningyu plugged in from the middle to defend and still did not stop him.
Like a bloodthirsty beast, Zhang Feng suddenly swung the ball with his right arm, so scared that Wang Ningyu immediately stopped and watched the guy in black clothes and black pants rise from the ground from a long distance!
With a loud bang, Zhang Feng swung his right arm and slammed the ball into the basket!
Zhang Feng swayed on the basket due to this speed and strength.When he turned his head in mid-air, it was no longer the ferocious beast, but a handsome young man with a confident smile.With a sway of his body, he fell down gently.
"It's amazing." Li Yifan murmured.
The speed and momentum of breaking through the zone defense just now set off overwhelming applause and cheers from the audience!
"So that's how it is." Ma Long took a deep breath, "I finally know why he is No.1 in Suzhou Province!"
Just this one ball fully demonstrates Zhang Feng's excellence; this one ball is enough to put a big distance between him and other masters, so that he can look down on Yichang's invincible opponent.
The offensive consciousness embodied in this ball has indeed surpassed Li Yifan.The general player's way of thinking is "straight", that is, they hope to "get it right in one step", but they often make reckless moves due to technical limitations, physical limitations, and judgment limitations; the general master's way of thinking is "bent". Use the skills you have mastered to find the weakness in the opponent's defense, open the gap and attack aggressively; while the general professional player's way of thinking has returned to "straight". An angle that ordinary people think is not appropriate is inserted to score directly...
Li Yifan has always been in a "curved" way of thinking.It is the principle and dream pursued by the vast majority of amateur masters to pass a leaf among thousands of flowers without touching their body.
"Very good, very good!" Coach Zhang Shaofeng's eyes sparkled.He could see that Zhang Feng was fully in the mood.
"Come on!" Li Yifan charged as soon as he caught the ball, but the obstacles of the cannon did cause him a lot of trouble.Three seconds passed, four seconds and five seconds passed... Li Yifan, who refused the help of his teammates, hadn't brought the ball past the midfield!
Ma Pao still defended calmly and stopped Li Yifan's progress with a strong body.
There was a booing immediately on the field, and Wang Tao also stood up anxiously!
Li Yifan took a deep breath and simply slowed down his pace and stepped back slightly.Seeing that Li Yifan showed signs of breaking through the space, the cunning Ma Pao immediately moved his pace step by step and pressed on without giving the opponent any chance.Unexpectedly, Li Yifan suddenly spun with his left hand and his whole body also spun along with it, cleanly throwing off the horse cannon!
The sound of booing stopped abruptly!
Ma Pao immediately turned his head to chase after him, but tripped and nearly fell to the floor.Fortunately, he quickly supported his upper body with his hands and feet so that he didn't make such a fool.Surprisingly, Li Yifan stood outside the three-point line and faced Zhang Feng, who was defending, and had no intention of breaking through.
He turned his head to look at the horse cannon running over.It wasn't until Ma Pao ran in front of him that Li Yifan said: "Your defense is very good. I can break through you in the backcourt, but there is almost no chance in the frontcourt."
Ma Pao responded with a cold smile, "It's good to know."
Li Yifan said lightly: "Although I may not be able to get rid of you, I can still score."
Ma Pao was stunned and said, "Come and try."
The corner of Li Yifan's mouth showed a confident smile, "I just thought of it, you can't stop me."
Ma Pao sarcastically said: "Fague jump shots are useless to me, I won't let you shoot comfortably!"
Li Yifan didn't speak anymore, his feet quickly started striding meteors and went straight to the restricted area!At the same time, Wang Ningyu made the wall, Ma Wenqiang pulled it to the top arc, Dongyu also pulled it out, and the restricted area was suddenly much wider!
Although Li Yifan's rushing pace was fast, Ma Pao was still following him like a brown candy and did not relax in the slightest.What he said is not wrong, even if Li Yifan uses a fadeaway jumper, it is difficult to take advantage of it.You must know that Zhang Feng is a master who is good at shooting backwards, so he has accumulated a lot of experience in defending backwards. He believes that his reaction and speed are enough to interfere with the opponent's shooting to the greatest extent...
As Li Yifan said, he didn't get rid of the cannon, but he still jumped up!
Ma Pao didn't have the perverted jumping ability of Li Yifan. His left hand held down Li Yifan's waist, and his right hand stretched out to Li Yifan's eyes to control the opponent's shooting route in all directions.But Li Yifan fulfilled his promise!
A miracle in the sky was born!
In mid-air, the horse cannon tightly stuck to Li Yifan, blocking all air routes with both hands!
Li Yifan was in the air, with the ball in his hand and the horse cannon rising together, his body suddenly stopped, his waist and abdomen retracted extremely flexibly, and the whole person actually shrank down!
I am afraid that doing movements in the air cannot be achieved by hard work and hard work. What it needs is innate physical fitness.
Li Yifan obviously bent down and his hands holding the ball went under Ma Pao's arms. At this time, Ma Pao was jumping up, and it was impossible to come down to block the shot!
This action, which was completely unexpected by the opponent and beyond everyone's imagination, gave Li Yifan the shooting space in an instant!
Even so, no one can maintain the balance of the shooting body in this posture, let alone make a shot.And Li Yifan obviously didn't lose his balance, his posture was like a light crossbow waiting for momentum, he raised his right arm lightly, raised the palm of his hand and shot the basketball!
There was a burst of exclamation, and the basketball hit the board and went into the basket!
Wang Tao shook his fist fiercely and shouted: "Good shot!"
"it's beautiful!"
"This is impossible! This is impossible! What happened just now..."
"Dodge in mid-air."
The basketball gymnasium of the South High Reserve Team fell into a terrible silence, and disbelief was written all over everyone's face.
Wang Tao took a breath, as if he had just recovered from the lack of oxygen, and said, "What kind of mid-air dodge is this? It was clearly paused in mid-air for two seconds to adjust its posture before shooting! Damn! What kind of action is this? I have never seen it before. I've seen this move before!"
"He took the swaying movements we did on the ground into the air..." sighed.This is a heartfelt exclamation not a compliment not jealousy just a pure exclamation.
After the horse cannon landed, his eyes were still looking at the basket for a long time without recovering.As the supporting role of Li Yifan's shocking goal, he didn't seem to realize what happened and didn't know how basketball was going, so he slipped into the basket.
And Zhang Feng, who witnessed all this, kept shaking his shoulders.The feeling of meeting the opponent at the beginning has disappeared.
