Basketball is Faith - Chapter 12

Liu Xiaodong is no stranger to the city of Oil City. After all, he came here more than once to fight away in high school. If possible, Liu Xiaodong really does not want to come here, especially in the face of the fans here, that is the most temperamental group of people in the province.

In the visiting team’s locker room, Liu Xiaodong sat on a familiar but unfamiliar bench, listening to the coach assigning tactical tasks to his teammates.

“Hou Wei, I will leave you with the heavy responsibility of defending Wang Zekai. It is up to you to win this victory that is related to our destiny.” After Zhang Tiejun finished speaking, he gave Hou Wei a guilty look. He knew that Hou Wei alone could not prevent Wang Zekai. After all, the painful lessons of last year are still vivid.

“Chan Ning, I want you to defend against Wang Zekai while defending the opposing small forward.”

“Liu Mu, be tough on the inside defense and offense, and show your real housekeeping skills!”

“Guo Cheng, I need you to score today. If there is a space, you must make a decisive shot!”

“Xiaodong, I will put you on the bench, you have to carefully observe Wang Zekai’s every move on the court, and I will let you play when necessary!”

After arranging all the tasks, Zhang Tiejun glanced at his watch and knew it was time to play. He pushed open the wooden door of the locker room and shouted: “Are you ready to beat your opponent on the road?”

“Ready!” The team members shouted in unison.

“Okay, let’s play!” After Zhang Tiejun finished speaking, he walked to the player channel first.

In the passage of the visiting team, when Liu Xiaodong heard the host yelling Wang Zekai’s name in a high-pitched voice, there was thunderous applause in the gym, and the cheers like a tsunami from the mountains also showed the popularity of the province’s first shooting guard.

Liu Xiaodong looked very excited. He can’t wait to compete with this super popular shooting guard to see how strong his opponent is!

Driven by this kind of thought, Liu Xiaodong swept away the tension of the first game, like a hungry wolf, with green eyes looking towards the passageway.

“Let us now welcome the visiting team Tsurujo University to the stage with warm applause~~~”

Following the host’s shout, the players of Tsurumi University, led by the captain Liu Mu, rushed out of the player’s channel in order.

“Hey, are you the star of the future? Your performance in the last game was really good!”

“Are you so skinny really come to play? Are you not afraid of being knocked and broken?”

“I think he will be ravaged by Wang Zekai!”

“You think too much, he is not worthy to confront our Wang Zekai!”

Listening to those very familiar ridicules and insults, Liu Xiaodong seemed to have returned to the high school days. If it is different from before, it is even more annoying.

Liu Xiaodong followed closely at the end of the team, he would use practical actions to plug the nasty mouth of those who hate him.

“What a bunch of idiots!” Liu Mu, who was warming up for a shot, saw a dozen students behind the basket pointing his **** at him.

Liu Xiaodong picked up a basketball for practice and rushed towards the basket. Within one step across the free throw line, his left leg glared hard, his body jumped into the air, his right hand grabbed the basketball and slammed the ball into the basket when it reached the critical point of the basket.

After landing, Liu Xiaodong looked at the home fans around the stands. The fierce eyes stayed behind the basket, as if to say to the **** fans, you shit!

“Woo~~~”

The scene suddenly booed, and the home fans were surprisingly united in response to the provocation of the away team players. Some radical seniors are even more swearing. They have watched football for two or three years and have not seen a guy who is so arrogant before the game!

At the other end of the field, a tall and handsome player was looking at Liu Xiaodong with a faint smile on his mouth.

“He’s just a talented rookie, don’t care too much. You should put your energy on Hou Wei, like you knocked him down last year!” Li Zijiang, head coach of the University of Petroleum, saw Wang Zekai a little distracted and confident. Reminded.

He watched the video of Hecheng University and University of Chemical Technology more than once before the game. As for Liu Xiaodong’s performance, he only thinks he is very talented. As for other things, he can only leave time to verify.

“I know the coach.” Wang Zekai looked at Liu Mu who had walked to the middle circle, and his eyes became sharp. He knew that talent was a threat to the team. As for Hou Wei the coach said…

“Dear spectators, the game is about to begin. We have already seen the players from both sides come to the field. First, we will introduce the starting roster of the home team, the University of Petroleum. Point guard Li Jie, shooting guard Wang Zekai, small forward Fan Ming, power forward Feng Chuanzhi, center Ouyang Xiahua .”

“Next is the visiting team Crane City University starting roster, point guard Guo Cheng, shooting guard Hou Wei, small forward Qian Ning, power forward Zhu Zihua, center Liu Mu.” In the commentary of the provincial sports TV station, it was former Crane City who retired. The well-known pitcher Liu Qiliang is responsible for the commentary. His humorous commentary style is deeply loved by fans across the province.

“Beep~” As the referee’s whistle sounded, the game officially began. Liu Mu used his experience to get the ball in front of Ouyang Xiahua.

Guo Cheng quickly advances with the ball and directs his teammates to move. He made a long pass just after halftime and passed the ball inside.

Zhu Zihua rushed to the penalty area, facing Feng Chuanzhi’s defense in front of him, he did not rush to attack. He knew very well that this experienced third-year power forward was not so easy to deal with.

He first made a false shooting. Seeing that Feng Chuanzhi had no intention of jumping up, he passed the ball to the right.

Hou Wei used Willow’s ball-free pick and roll to get rid of Wang Zekai’s entanglement and ran to the corner to get an open three-pointer!

Hou Wei did not make any adjustments when he received the ball, and directly raised the ball over his head and threw it out. As a starting shooting guard, he has to prove himself.

“Too anxious!” Seeing Hou Wei’s shot speed, Zhang Tiejun knew that there was little hope for the goal.

The basketball crossed an arc and hit the edge of the basket. Ouyang Xiahua snatched the rebound. He immediately gave the ball to Li Jie, who came to catch him.

Li Jie directly pushed forward after receiving the ball. This thin but extremely fast point guard rushed to the free throw line after half-court, suddenly braked and passed the ball to the right.

Wang Zekai received the ball and faced Hou Wei’s chasing defense, he confidently threw the ball out. The basketball crossed a precise arc and hit the basket steadily.

“Damn it!” Hou Wei scolded. If he didn’t get annoyed by a missed shot just now, then Wang Zekai’s shot from the same right bottom corner was hitting him hard in the face.

“Your defense is really bad, no improvement like last year!” Wang Zekai ran to Hou Wei and said sarcastically.

Hou Wei flushed, but he did not fight back because he really couldn’t prevent Wang Zekai.

Zhang Tiejun rubbed his hands on the sidelines irritably. He could see that Wang Zekai was more confident in his shooting than last year. This third-year super shooting guard, who scored 43 points under Hou Wei’s defense last year and led Daqing Petroleum University to enter the division plug for the first time, gave him a headache.

Guo Cheng dribbled the ball slowly through halftime. He wanted to suppress the rhythm of the game and get his teammates ready to attack.

Li Jie uses a thin and tall body to stop Guo Cheng from trying to move forward. Although he does not have Guo Chengzhuang, he has a huge advantage in height.

Guo Cheng came to stand two steps beyond the three-point line, observing the situation of his teammates on the field to make the correct pass.

Hou Wei used willow to cover, and ran to the right corner, and reached for the ball.

Guo Cheng is a little hesitant~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, Hou Weigang’s goal is that he has not yet entered the shooting state. But he still chose to trust his teammates. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball touched the wooden floor and bounced back into Hou Wei’s hands.

Guo Cheng’s overall view and passing skills are among the top college players. If it were not for the 1.76 meter height to restrict his defense, he would have higher achievements.

Wang Zekai quickly chased to the bottom corner, straightened his arm to the front of Hou Wei, and at the same time, he constantly exerted his talent of “mouth gun” to put pressure on Hou Wei.

Hou Wei tried two shots but was firmly blocked by Wang Zekai’s long arms. He turned around reluctantly and wanted to play singles.

Wang Zekai quickly put his hands against his waist, preventing Hou Wei from exerting any force.

Attacking time was slowly draining, Hou Wei reluctantly found that it was difficult for him to reach the center line by strength. After several attempts without success, Hou Wei looked for passing opportunities. The moment Hou Wei raised his head, the basketball in his hand disappeared.

After Wang Zekai steals, there is no pause, and he starts to rush towards the half.

Guo Cheng rushed to the three-point line and stopped, opening his arms to stop Wang Zekai who rushed over.

Seeing a defender who was one head shorter than himself, Wang Zekai made a sudden stop, suddenly stopped two steps beyond the three-point line, and quickly threw the ball over his head. In Guo Cheng’s surprised eyes, the basketball steadily hit the basket.

After 　　, Wang Zekai started his personal performance mode. Facing Hou Wei’s personal defense, he shot from all angles.

At 5 minutes into the first quarter, Wang Zekai had already scored 15 points on 6 of 7 shots. Under his defense, Hou Wei made 0 of 5 shots, which seriously affected the offensive efficiency of Hecheng University.
