whirlwind basketball

Chapter 123

Chapter 123

With erratic footsteps and erratic dribbling, the basketball kept changing its position in front of Sun Xiaoma.Li Yifan, who was standing in front of him, didn't dare to blink his eyes any longer, and focused on the basketball in his hand, predicting his next move.

Sun Xiaoma still failed to break through several fake moves in a row, and there were already spectators on the sidelines counting seconds.His stern face was still calm, with his lips tightly pursed, he didn't seem to be in the slightest panic.

Why didn't anyone else step forward to help?Occasionally, such questions flashed through the minds of the audience.

This is an upright decisive battle, a decisive battle between the two strongest guards in high school history, no one can intervene in it, and no one can stop it.

In a basketball game, the offensive side always has the upper hand, and the one who controls the ball is always more active than the defensive one.Getting the ball into the opponent's field without difficulty in one-on-one defense is a basic requirement for a point guard.

But Li Yifan wanted to subvert all of this.

After continuous feints, a gap finally appeared, and that's now!The figure flashed, and Sun Xiaoma rushed over.Was breached? "Crack!" A hand hit the basketball in Sun Xiaoma's hand, and the basketball flew out of bounds.

not yet!

Other players from Tsinghua High School stepped forward and took a throw-in.After Sun Xiaoma received the ball, he raised his hand and passed the ball. The basketball passed over Li Yifan's head, and Wei Xiaolong caught the ball.

Pass?It doesn't matter.Such a pass is not at all the value of a first-class defender.The point guard's job is not as simple as dribbling and passing.Integrate the formation, organize the offense, and break through the opponent's defense when necessary, and even shoot and score to open the gap for teammates.If Sun Xiaoma can only pass such a ball, there is no place for him in the main lineup of Tsinghua High School.

The offense of Tsinghua High School, the basketball was in the hands of Wei Xiaolong, de Gaulle and other players.Occasionally Sun Xiaoma received a pass, but because of Li Yifan's close pressing, he could only send the ball back. Sun Xiaoma's core hub was paralyzed for a while.But Tsinghua High School is Tsinghua High School after all, except for Sun Xiaoma, the other players are all top players.After a few flips, Wei Xiaolong leaped high facing Ahu and shot from outside the penalty area.The basketball was about to pop out after bouncing in the basket, and a hand suddenly appeared under the basket to press the ball back easily-De Gaulle.

As expected of Tsinghua High School, Li Yifan sighed inwardly while admiring: It is completely impossible to contain the attack of Tsinghua High School, and now the only option is to continue to suppress Sun Xiaoma.In this way, even if they can continue to score, the offensive methods are much more monotonous, and our players should be much easier to defend.

It's our turn to attack.

Li Yifan still controls the ball.

The one facing him was still Sun Xiaoma.Do you want to be singled out?Kuang Chong's figure stopped in an instant, and he swung to the right like a slingshot and disappeared behind Xiaoma Sun.

Break through!The restricted area is just ahead.Before the joy arose, a warning sign suddenly appeared in my heart - suddenly a figure stood in front of him, and a hand behind him quietly stretched out towards the basketball in Li Yifan's hand.

With his left foot as the axis, his body dodged like a whirlwind, "Crack!" With a crisp sound, the basketball changed from his crotch to his right hand, and suddenly a shadow flashed from Li Yifan's right side - it was a pass.

Under the basket, Tong Haifeng was slightly dazed as he grasped the sudden basketball. "Idiot, shoot!" A loud roar woke Tong Haifeng from his dream, jumped up, and shot!

"Crack!" There was a sound of hitting the ball, and a giant hand suddenly came out of the air and slammed the basketball shot by Tong Haifeng-De Gaulle!

The basketball flew out to the sidelines, and a figure suddenly appeared and grabbed the basketball with one hand, Ah Hu.Raising his hand to shoot the basket, Jin Shanxi, who was wandering outside the three-point line, suddenly appeared, and jumped high to cover the ball in Ah Hu's hand.There was no chance to make a shot, and the basketball held high was pressed down, "Crack!" The basketball fell into Ah Hui's hands with a thud.

"No one is defending, shoot the basket!"

Leaping high and taking the shot calmly, the basketball steadily draws an arc, "Shua!" and falls accurately into the basket.

Three point shot!

At 24:20, Jiangcheng's lead expanded to four points.Looking back at the time, there are more than eight minutes left in the first half.

Back to defense.

The game repeated the scene just now, Li Yifan stepped forward to block Sun Xiaoma just after halftime, making full use of the rules of the game to firmly guard him near the center line.Wei Xiaolong stepped forward to respond and barely passed the ball.After a few exquisite cooperations, fierce competition started at the basket, and Wei Xiaolong still sent the ball into the basket in the end.

The game proceeded minute by minute according to the script Li Yifan envisioned.The core of Tsinghua High School was restrained and unable to give full play. Under Li Yifan's coordination, the morale of the Jiangcheng team was unprecedentedly high.

Tightly guarding the opponent in front of him, he glanced at the scoreboard from the corner of his eyes, and there was a little more than one point left in the first half.The score was 36:34, and the Jiangcheng team still led by two points.His chest felt numb, and his breathing was uncontrollably rapid.The physical exertion of the defensive side is no less than that of the offensive side.Especially when Li Yifan was facing a master like Sun Xiaoma, if he wanted to completely stop him, he had to keep moving his feet, waving his arms, and constantly calculating his possible next move in his mind.As a result, Li Yifan's physical and mental exhaustion far exceeded Sun Xiaoma's.

Sun Xiaoma, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Can you keep moving until the end of the game?"

Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, an inscrutable smile overflowed from the corner of Li Yifan's mouth, and said, "You don't need to worry about this. After being silent for so long, at the end of the first half, shouldn't it be time for you to explode!"

"Naturally!" While speaking, the basketball in Sun Xiaoma's hand suddenly disappeared, and when it emerged from behind him, it flew towards Jin Shanxi who was beyond the three-point line.Sun Xiaoma's figure did not stop at the basketball shot, and a gust of wind passed by and was already running towards the other side of the three-point line.The speed was completely beyond Li Yifan's expectation.

Damn it, Li Yifan hurriedly chased after him, his right foot suddenly became weak, and his running steps stopped abruptly, and a slight numbness came from his right foot.

Over there, Sun Xiaoma received a pass from Jin Shanxi, raised his hand from outside the three-point line and shot, "Shua!" With a crisp sound, the basketball fell into the basket!

The score is 36:37.

was overtaken.The Jiangcheng team members stopped abruptly, and everyone forgot to move while watching the basketball bouncing on the ground.

"Bastard, pass the ball quickly!" Li Yifan ran forward quickly, ignoring the numbness of his right foot.Another goal must be scored in the first half, and the eyes scanned the timing card. There are 34 seconds left in the first half.

Zhang Yu hurriedly kicked the ball, and the basketball was passed to Li Yifan.

Sun Xiaoma stood in front, and there was Wei Xiaolong next to him, and the other Tsinghua High School players did not immediately return to their own half.Man-to-man!Is Tsinghua High School planning to enter another one?

How can it make you happy.After dodging Sun Xiaoma's steal, he stepped into the half court of Tsinghua High School.Want to go fast?Just when everyone thought so, Li Yifan stopped, controlled the ball and intentionally slowed down the rhythm.

To procrastinate!Everyone suddenly realized.In the first half, this was Jiangcheng's last chance to attack. There was no need to make a quick break to give the opponent a chance. It was a wise choice.Someone on the sidelines has already started to admire.

Only Li Yifan knew in his heart that there were really unspeakable difficulties in doing so-the numbness of his right foot has not been relieved until now.

When passing by the Jiangcheng team's rest area, "Give Li Yifan a few seconds!"

The team members in Jiangcheng were stunned for a while and didn't know what it meant. The first team member who reacted after a long time shouted loudly: "24, 23..." The 30-second countdown!The other team members who came back to their senses shouted loudly together, and the sound of counting down the seconds was like a battle drum, which immediately boosted Jiangcheng's morale on the field.

No one will notice that Li Yifan's footsteps are slightly unnatural in possession of the ball.

"Thirteen, fourteen..." The interest of the audience outside the arena was aroused, and the actions of the Jiangcheng team were undoubtedly the most obvious provocation to King Tsinghua High School.In addition to the die-hard fans of Tsinghua High School, many spectators joined the ranks of the countdown, and the sound became louder and louder, and finally the entire gymnasium could only hear the loud countdown.

The center of the full line of sight is Li Yifan and Sun Xiaoma who are facing each other head-on.With a clear mind and a calm face, Li Yifan was not affected by the atmosphere of the stadium at all.The same goes for Sun Xiaoma on the opposite side.

"Six, five..."

The feeling of the right foot gradually recovered, and the time was almost up.The rhythm of dribbling began to speed up, the left and right feet moved slightly, the shoulders seemed to be shaking slightly, and the whole body was about to pop out at any time like a slingshot ready to go.

It is now.

A phantom flickered amidst the rapid dribbling sound, swaying from side to side and rushing past Xiaoma Sun like a whirlwind.Desperately turned around, Sun Xiaoma followed closely behind, only to find that the figure who had just rushed over was empty-handed.

Where's the ball?

The ball is in Ah Hui's hands.The basketball came so suddenly that Ahui caught the basketball reflexively but didn't know what to do.Jin Shanxi, who was opposite him, also looked dumbfounded.

The figures intertwined, Ah Hui seemed to have just recovered, and the basketball in his hand had disappeared, "Block him!" After taking the basketball from Ah Hui, Li Yifan whispered in his ear.

Facing the basket and outside the three-point line, Li Yifan jumped up, and the basketball in his hand drew a high arc and flew towards the basket, "Shua!" The basketball fell steadily into the basket amidst the clear sound of wiping the net .

At this time, Sun Xiaoma and Jin Shanxi were blocked by Ahui.The gymnasium was silent, and then "boom..." earth-shattering applause burst out suddenly.

Looking back at the scoreboard, there are four seconds left on the clock.

The high school attached to Tsinghua University kicked out the ball, and the Jiangcheng team pressed closely. De Gaulle smashed the basketball into the backboard in the middle of the field.

The first half is over.The score was 39:37, and the Jiangcheng team ended the first half perfectly with a two-point advantage.

The figures of the players of the two teams disappeared at the door of the players' lounge, and the gymnasium gradually became quieter. The earth-shattering cheers fell silent, replaced by bursts of buzzing discussions.The audience obviously didn't want to finish it, and the people around them were talking about it.

Players Zone.

"Haha, attacking in seconds? It's clear that you don't take Tsinghua High School seriously. I'm so happy that Tsinghua High School, whose eyes are higher than the top, will receive such treatment!" Zhang Beihai smiled exaggeratedly while hugging his belly.Although he was a little annoyed at losing to Li Yifan, he was even more annoyed by the stinky expression of Tsinghua University High School.

The others around him were not as happy as Zhang Beihai's smile. Chen Bing sighed softly: "The situation in Jiangcheng is not as good as what we saw. In the match against Tsinghua High School, we were able to draw with Tsinghua High School in the first half." Even the leading team is not absent, but the final result is still the same. The myth of Tsinghua High School deciding the game within 5 minutes of the second half has not been broken. Attacking in seconds, I am afraid it will only stimulate Tsinghua High School even more!"

"But there's no way around it!" Wang Yuanyuan interjected, "Li Yifan must use extraordinary means to boost the team's morale. Jiangcheng is still a very young team, and leading into the second half will have a huge impact on them. We all should have experience in this point!" The teams represented by the people sitting here have all played against Jiangcheng.

"En!" Wang Yuanyuan nodded.He and Chen Bing had the deepest acquaintance, and they had the tacit understanding between them, and it seemed more natural to pick up the topic.Wang Yuanyuan went on to say: "The situation should change in the second half. It is impossible for Tsinghua High School to remain silent like this. De Gaulle, Wei Xiaolong and Sun Xiaoma, the three of them have been the main players of Tsinghua High School since the first grade. Last year They are both top ten players, so this year's Tsinghua High School should be stronger. Jiang Chicheng, you are the only one among us who has played against this Tsinghua High School. Let's see how much strength the Tsinghua High School has played today."

Jiang Chicheng showed a contemplative look, and said calmly for a moment: "Li Yifan is not clear about the strength of the high school attached to Tsinghua University. Although he lost to them by [-] points, Li Yifan always feels that they have not fully exerted their strength. Fighting against us Compared with the level of performance at that time, today's Tsinghua High School does not seem to be very handy." Although he is arrogant, he is not a vain and impetuous person, and very frankly admitted the gap with Tsinghua High School.Yi Wuwu, who doesn't see eye to eye with Jiang Chicheng, can't help secretly admiring his frankness.

Chen Bing nodded and said, "It's no wonder, it's the first time that Sun Xiaoma has been suppressed like this today. No one can attack in front of Tsinghua High School in a few seconds except Li Yifan."

"Only that guy would do such a thing!" Zhang Beihai added.

Chen Bing and Wang Yuanyuan looked at each other and smiled, feeling amused at Zhang Beihai's childishness.Wang Yuanyuan glanced past Yi Wuyi, who was sitting quietly next to him, but he, who had always been very active, was silent at this moment, with a slightly pensive and dignified expression on his face.

"What's wrong with Yiwu?"

"I'm thinking about Li Yifan's attack in a few seconds just now." The serious expression on Yi Wuwu's face made Zhang Beihai, who was about to speak, swallow the words again.Everyone's eyes fell on Yi Wuwu, waiting for his next words.

Yi Wuwu said: "Based on what I know about Li Yifan, he doesn't seem to be such a flamboyant person. Even if it's for boosting morale, he shouldn't make such provocative actions."

Everyone fell into deep thought.Chen Bing nodded slightly, and said: "In all fairness, Li Yifan is indeed very magnanimous. Such an active provocation is indeed a bit strange." His eyes turned to Yi Wuwu, "Do you see the reason?"

Yi Wuwu hesitated for a moment, and said: "I just found that his footsteps seemed a little slow at the end, and by the standards of basketball players, his socks are too high today!"

he got hurt?This thought flashed through everyone's mind at the same time.Everyone present here is extremely intelligent, so naturally they can't fail to hear Yi Wuxin's overtones.Socks too high?Basketball socks are generally not very high, and the factor of sliding during exercise is generally only a little higher than the upper of the shoe.If there is a bandage on the foot and you want to hide it, you have to wear other socks.Was he injured then?

The second half is about to begin, and the players of the two teams are back on the court.Everyone's eyes fell on the socks on Li Yifan's feet in unison. Sure enough, his socks were very high.

In the center of the court, looking up at the high ceiling of the stadium, Li Yifan took a deep breath.His eyes fell on the timing card. The second half was about to start, and finally it was the last 10 minutes.

The feeling of his right foot has been recovered. During the intermission, Li Yifan avoided everyone and secretly massaged in the toilet. The effect is really remarkable.There is absolutely no problem in supporting it for another 10 minutes.

"Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded.

The second half of the game is finally about to start.

"The real game starts now!" Tsinghua High School member said to Li Yifan with a confident expression on his face.Yeah, the second half was the real game.Tsinghua High School, let's decide the outcome.

Jumping the ball, two huge figures in the air snatched the falling basketball at the same time. One hand hit the basketball first, and the ball flew quickly to the right - that was Sun Xiaoma's position.The jump ball results in de Gaulle's victory.

The basketball flew high and flew towards the player who was rushing to the front—I don't know when Wei Xiaolong had already rushed to Jiangcheng's three-point line.Chasing wildly, Li Yifan followed closely behind.Wei Xiaolong grabbed the ball, stepped into Jiangcheng's three-point line, jumped up, and wanted to shoot.Li Yifan jumped up from behind and patted the basketball he held high with his right hand.

"Crack!" The basketball disappeared suddenly, and a figure in the restricted area grabbed the bounced basketball and sent it into the hoop—De Gaulle!

So fast!Sun Xiaoma, Wei Xiaolong, and Charles de Gaulle, these three people cooperated very well.

In the opening five seconds, at 39:39, Tsinghua High School tied the score.

"Damn it, we're attacking," Li Yifan dribbled the ball across half court, quickly flashed past Sun Xiaoma, and targeted Zhang Yu at the basket. The position was really good!With a straight ball shadow, the basketball flew straight to Zhang Yu from the gap.Zhang Yu grabbed the ball, jumped up and prepared to shoot, "Crack!" A giant palm in the air sent the basketball flying towards the sidelines—De Gaulle.

A blue figure quickly confiscated the ball, a player from Tsinghua High School!It's Jin Shanxi.

"Fast break!" Sun Xiaoma yelled lightly and rushed out quickly. He didn't know when the basketball in Jin Shanxi's hand was already in his hands.

"Quickly return to the defense!" He shouted to order the team members to return to the defense. Li Yifan desperately followed behind Sun Xiaoma.At the three-point line, Li Yifan caught up; there was a restricted area in front of him, so he couldn't make a shot, so Li Yifan rushed forward with all his strength. "Crack!" A shadow hit the ground and flew back from Li Yifan's crotch, passing the ball?

Before recovering from the astonishment, there was a roar behind him. The basketball drew an arc and flew into the basket. Turning around, it was Wei Xiaolong.

"Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded, "White No. [-] thug fouled, and an extra free throw!" Ah Hu raised his right hand, but his stern face was full of disbelief at this moment.

What happened just now?When did Sun Xiaoma see Wei Xiaolong following behind?Thug foul?How did Wei Xiaolong shoot the ball into the basket?Li Yifan was horrified.

"Shua!" The basketball fell steadily into the basket.The score was 42:39, and Tsinghua High School led by three points.

"It's okay, everyone calm down, we'll pay them back!" Li Yifan raised his right hand and said loudly to the players.The basketball in his hand is unhurriedly controlling the ball in his hands, and he moves forward unhurriedly.You must be calm and control the rhythm first.

The team members calmed down, and Ah Hu also regained his composure, with a cool expression on his handsome face.

That's it, let's start the counterattack.Speeding up the dribbling speed, Li Yifan reached the half court of Tsinghua High School.Sun Xiaoma stood in front, and Jin Shanxi also stood in front.what happened?In the inside line of Tsinghua High School, De Gaulle, Shen Gong, and Wei Xiaolong were firmly guarding the restricted area, while Zhang Yu and Tong Haifeng were blocked outside.

Ah Hui, no one was guarding Ah Hui, the basketball in his hand suddenly accelerated, and the shadow swayed, and the basketball was passed to Ah Hui from the gap between the crowd.

No one is defending, shoot the basket quickly!Ah Hui catches the ball, jumps up, raises his hand, and shoots?A figure stood in front of him - Wei Xiaolong!when did he get there?

No, there is no chance, Ah Hui passed the ball in the air, "Crack!" The floor ball was passed to Ah Hu.What, where did Jin Shanxi appear?Ah Hu had no chance to make a move.

Pass it on! Li Yifan shouted the order, and Ah Hu passed the ball behind his back, "Snap! "The ball was in his hands. The moment he caught the ball, Li Yifan had already drawn up an attacking strategy, and Sun Xiaoma was not enough to block Li Yifan. The ball was in his hands, and his feet moved quickly. What, another person stood in front—Wei Xiaolong!?

Looking at other people, de Gaulle, Shen Gong, Jin Shanxi, when did the insiders of Tsinghua High School be replaced by these three people?What's this?Area triangle defense?There is no time to ponder this question, and time to attack is running out.If two people double-team, there will always be one person that you cannot defend.

Protecting the basketball in his hand, Li Yifan turned quickly, taking in the situation on the field from the corner of his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, Li Yifan had already drawn up a strategy.This time Li Yifan will make it impossible for you to separate yourself.

"Crack!" The basketball was put in his hand suddenly, and the fast-moving figure suddenly stopped bouncing high, and he raised the basketball in his hand. Do you want to shoot?Wei Xiaolong and Sun Xiaoma jumped up and completely blocked the shooting angle with four hands.That's what I want you to say, "Snap!" The basketball flew under the feet of the two of them to the right of the penalty area, where Ah Hu was waiting there.
