Basketball is Faith - Chapter 14
While Zhang Tiejun was thinking about countermeasures, another confrontation between Liu Xiaodong and Wang Zekai began.
Liu Xiaodong reached out for the ball, facing Wang Zekai’s defense, he wanted to attack!
With Liu Xiaodong’s calm handling of the last ball, Guo Cheng passed the ball without any hesitation. He believes that even if Liu Xiaodong fails in singles, he will pass the ball back and it will not be reckless.
Looking at Liu Xiaodong with a cold face, Wang Zekai showed no shame. He saw a lot of colder eyes than this, thinking that this would scare him, and if that was the case, then he would not step on so many opponents.
Wang Zekai always blocked Liu Xiaodong’s route just right. He used a 2.15-meter wingspan to constantly trouble Liu Xiaodong and almost broke the ball in Liu Xiaofei’s hands several times.
Liu Xiaodong is a little impatient. He wants to find his face in front of Wang Zekai, but now he is so defensively guarded by this nasty guy. What a damn!
“There is not much offensive time left. At this time, passing the ball to the point guard is Liu Xiaodong’s best choice!” Liu Qiliang said anxiously. He saw Liu Xiaodong’s emotional changes and wanted to tell Liu Xiaodong the correct way to play through explanations.
But he seems to have forgotten that he is in a closed space, and his voice can only be heard by the audience watching the provincial sports TV station.
Liu Xiaodong glanced at the timer. He knew that there was not much time left for him, so he could only speed up the attack.
He was a shooting fake first, hoping to shake Wang Zekai, but Wang Zekai was not fooled, Liu Xiaodong could only throw the ball quickly.
Liu Xiaodong felt a sense of relief at the moment the ball was let go. He only hopes that the basketball he shot can enter the basket smoothly.
But things are always going on the bad side. When Liu Xiaodong looked towards the basket and prayed, a tall figure blocked his sight.
Liu Xiaodong looked up and saw a glance that was enough to make him drop his chin. Wang Zekai in the air stretched out his exaggerated arm and grabbed the basketball flying in the air with his right hand!
“Is this a hat grab?” The audience exclaimed. Liu Xiaodong also grew his mouth in surprise. This was the first time he was covered by such a fierce ball since he learned to play basketball.
If you are watching the game in front of the TV or in the audience, Liu Xiaodong will definitely cheer with them in excitement! But now he wasn’t excited at all, on the contrary he felt a little frustrated.
Wang Zekai was still amazed by everyone, he rushed through the half court with the ball. Liu Xiaodong reflexively ran to the three-point line and opened his arms to block the opponent’s progress.
Wang Zekai controlled the ball to the right 45 degrees, still turning his back against Liu Xiaodong to play singles. He used his strength to push Liu Xiaodong to a distance of two steps from the penalty area, turned around and made a side step jumper.
This time, Liu Xiaodong’s defense was not deceived by the fake action, but his straight arms did not substantially interfere with Wang Zekai’s shooting.
“It’s too passive to fight like this. The coach must make timely adjustments to let the newcomer calm down for a while!” Liu Qiliang tried to explain in a calm and soothing tone. Just when the director switched the camera, the director of the nearby provincial sports channel had reminded him that this is an objective and rational comment for the provincial live broadcast!
Compared with Liu Qiliang in the live broadcast room, Zhang Tiejun on the sidelines was not reminded. His 28-year-old training assistant did not come because his wife was giving birth in the hospital.
Zhang Tiejun paced on the sidelines anxiously. The best solution he could think of was to replace Hou Wei and Liu Xiaodong.
But Hou Wei’s current state is no better than Liu Xiaodong. What substantive effect can the team bring to the team? Still have to rely on the inside, with the help of the pitcher.
“Sun Yangyang, prepare yourself.”
“Huh?” Sun Yangyang was puzzled. The coach wanted me to defend that perverted shooting guard. I’m a small forward!
“You will be on the court to guard against Wang Zekai. You are the same height. As long as you can keep up with his footsteps and interfere with his shooting, we will be able to reverse the decline!” After Zhang Tiejun finished speaking, he walked to the technical stage and left a face. The bitter Sun Yangyang.
After the timeout, Liu Xiaodong walked to the bench with sweating profusely and sat down softly. Looking at his depressed expression, it was exactly the same as Hou Wei next to him.
“Xiaodong, are you okay?” Zhang Tiejun asked worriedly. He had high expectations of Liu Xiaodong and didn’t want to ruin a good shooting guard just because of a game.
“I’m okay, coach.” Liu Xiaodong replied tiredly. He is really tired, and confronting Wang Zekai is really not an easy task.
Zhang Tiejun glanced at Liu Xiaodong worriedly again, and hurriedly made new tactical arrangements.
The game restarted, Zhang Tiejun replaced Liu Xiaodong with the “unstable pitcher” Sun Yangyang to open up room for Liu Mu basket to play singles.
Li Zijiang replaced Ouyang Xiahua, who was good at mid-range shooting, and Lin Zijie, who was a tough defensive player, to strengthen the inside defense.
Wang Zekai looked at Sun Yangyang who was running over and couldn’t help but smile. He remembers this guy with a questioning mentality. In last year’s game, he was a funny mascot who missed 4 consecutive shots in the face of a three-pointer that his teammate Fan Ming deliberately gave up.
Just after the half-time of the dribble, Guo Cheng saw Sun Yangyang running to the corner with an open position, and he passed the ball.
Sun Yangyang caught the basketball. Just about to adjust to a comfortable shooting posture, he saw Wang Zekai standing two steps away from him, looking at him with a smirk.
“You can vote with confidence, I won’t block your cap, but I still remember your brave performance last year!” Wang Zekai said with a smirk.
“Vote! What are you hesitating!” Zhang Tiejun roared on the sidelines~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is a great opportunity for an open spot. I really don’t know what Sun Yangyang is stunned.
Hearing the roar from the sidelines, Sun Yangyang softened his hands and almost missed the basketball.
Sun Yangyang hurriedly grasped the ball hard, then raised the ball over his head to make a shot. The bottom corner on the right is his most confident position, as long as no one interferes with him, he can enter.
However, Wang Zekai broke his illusion. At the moment when he was about to throw the ball, Wang Zekai yelled “Hey!” and quickly raised his right arm to lunge at him.
Sun Yangyang’s already weak heart, after Wang Zekai’s sudden interference, cast a three non-stick.
Lin Zijie, who had just come on the court, jumped up and grabbed the sharply falling basketball in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball to Li Jie.
Sun Yangyang’s three non-stick shots caught the other players at Tsurujo University by surprise, including Willow, who was stuck in the basket, did not react. Only Guo Cheng stayed awake, he pounced on Li Jie the moment he received the ball.
Li Jie dribbled the ball and turned around in disguise, passing Guo Cheng, who was not standing still. He quickly dribbled the ball and rushed forward, Guo Cheng chasing after him.
Li Jie dribbled the ball to the basket. He didn’t intend to dunk or layup. Because he knows exactly how terrifying the point guard behind him who is shorter than himself is!
He glanced behind him from the corner of his eye, threw the ball high in the air, and ran to the bottom line.
Guo Cheng looked up into the air with doubts, and a yellow figure appeared in front of him.
I saw Wang Zekai in the air grabbing the falling basketball with his right hand, and dunking the ball into the hoop through Guo Cheng!
“He is too strong!” This is the voice of Liu Xiaodong and Hou Wei sitting on the bench. They don’t know how to defeat this powerful opponent!
