Basketball is Faith - Chapter 15
At the end of the first quarter, Wang Zekai made 9 of 10 shots and scored 22 points. With his dominant performance, he led the University of Petroleum to 28-13 and 15 points ahead of Hecheng University.
If it were not for the last minute and Liu Mu’s continuous and tough performance in the penalty area, the score of Tsurujo University would remain in the single digits.
The four-sided LED display in the sports complex is constantly showing Wang Zekai’s wonderful goals, which makes the home audience’s emotions high, and some excited fans even start a crowded game.
In the commentary, Liu Qiliang couldn’t help smiling at the end of the close-up that the guide cut to Wang Zekai. If Crane City University can’t limit the yellow No. 3 in the second quarter, then there is no need to watch the game.
Liu Mu, who was sitting on the bench, was sweating, and he played a whole quarter. As a team leader, everyone else can escape, but he can’t.
Although very tired, he will never give up, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will fight!
Zhang Tiejun looked at Liu Mu, with a lot of unspeakable bitterness in his heart. He understood Liu Mu’s thoughts. If they lose this game, they will go to Bingcheng and face the more powerful Bingcheng University. Strong team!
? “Liu Mu, let’s take more breaks off the court.” Zhang Tiejun knew that Liu Mu was an unyielding temper, but he still said unconsciously.
?? “No, coach.” Yanagi replied without thinking. He knew very well that if they couldn’t catch the score in the second quarter, they would be more difficult in the second half.
Zhang Tiejun waited until the players were about to rest, then took the tactical board and got up and walked in front of them. He glanced at Liu Xiaodong and Hou Wei who were depressed, and then began to deploy tactics.
“In the second quarter, Liu Mu was in charge of the main attack. Sun Yangyang returned to the small forward position and ran from the outside to open up the offensive space for the inside.” After Zhang Tiejun finished, Sun Yangyang let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t have to face the monster in a dislocation. Up.
“Hou Wei, Wang Zekai is unlikely to play in the first half of the second quarter. You have to take more shots on the outside to provide the team with enough help!”
“Yes, coach!” Hou Wei replied earnestly. He heard that Wang Zekai would not be playing in the first half of the quarter, and he returned to his former spirit of spirit.
Zhang Tiejun successively explained the points of attention to the three substitutes who were going to play, how to assist Liumu in the inside attack, the electronic buzzer over the arena sounded, and the second quarter of the Hecheng University and the University of Petroleum began.
Li Jie dribbled the ball slowly through the half. His idea was simple: to lead the four substitutes to keep the current lead and wait until Wang Zekai and other main players return.
The players from the University of Petroleum started to move. It seemed that they were looking for offensive opportunities.
Substitute center Lin Ziqiang leaned on Willow and reached out for the ball, but Li Jie ignored it. He knew very well that the coach allowed this offensive “rough” silly big man to continue playing, just to defend Willow, not to take charge of the offense.
Li Jie looked at the time on the timer and reached out and called a pick-and-roll. Lin Ziqiang, a strong body, pretended not to see and continued to reach out for the ball.
“This brain damage!” Li Jie scolded, the original coach arranged for Lin Ziqiang to pick and roll over, Li Jie broke through the layup or scored the ball to the outside.
Now Lin Ziqiang does not implement tactics, and other players dare not act rashly. As a result, the offensive tactics of the University of Petroleum were disrupted, and Li Jie could only play on the spot.
Therefore, facing Guo Cheng’s personal defense, Li Jie can only choose to force a breakthrough.
He leaned against Guo Cheng and concealed an elbow to Guo Cheng’s abdomen with his left arm. His movements were very small, but he was very powerful. At first glance, he was a veteran who often used this trick.
Guo Cheng almost lost his breath in pain. He just wanted to take advantage of the situation and commit a foul, but Li Jie had already passed him to the penalty area, and he could only suffer a dark loss.
Li Jie was very proud of his successful breakthrough. His black elbows were only after watching a lot of NBA game videos.
The starting point guard of the University of Petroleum was a little complacent in the spring breeze. In the face of Liu Mu’s defense, he used Iverson’s offensive method to throw the ball to the basket.
“Pop!” Liu Mu jumped up, and his right hand slammed the ball to halftime. Liu Mu told Li Jie with practical actions that not everyone has the ability of Iverson.
Guo Cheng, who was still depressed, suddenly saw the basketball flying towards him and couldn’t help but rejoice. He quickly reached out his arm to stop the ball and rushed towards the half.
“Hurry up!” Li Jie who reacted loudly shouted to a substitute standing at a 45-degree angle. When the reactionary University of Petroleum players chased Guo Cheng, he had already ran to the basket and made a layup.
Five minutes into the second quarter, Liu Mu and Guo Cheng worked together inside and outside to catch up the lagging score of Hecheng University to only 3 points.
On the sidelines, Coach Li Zijiang can’t sit still anymore. He must make adjustments before Hecheng University takes over the score, so that the balance of victory is tilted to his side again.
“Ze Kai, get ready to play!” Li Zijiang shouted in a low voice, and Wang Zekai immediately took off his down jacket. The stadium was still a bit cold.
Li Jie dribbled the ball to two steps beyond the three-point line, preparing to direct his teammates to move, but the whistle of timeout sounded.
Li Jie walked down the court in frustration. He knew that he was behaving badly and did not complete the task assigned by the coach.
“It seems that the excellent performance of Liu Mu and Guo Cheng makes coach Li Zijiang, who has always been calm, unable to sit still.” Liu Qiliang said jokingly. He likes Liu Mu and Guo Cheng very much. One is tough and the other is steady. They are a good combination of inside and outside.
“Do you think this is training, so that Hecheng University can recover 12 points~www.mtlnovel.com~ Defense, defense, the defense I requested!” Li Zijiang roared angrily, he looked at the five people in front of him, The urge to throw it out.
“You five, give me a good reflection off the court. Liang Jun, you will play for Li Jie!” Li Zijiang looked at a strong point guard and said.
On the side of Hecheng University, Zhang Tiejun looked at Liu Mu who had been playing for 14 minutes, and knew that he could no longer let his disciple continue to overdraw. He said in an unquestionable tone: “Willow Mu, you take a break first.”
“Coach, I haven’t felt tired yet, so I can play for a while!” Liu Mu said seriously. But the sweat oozing from his cheeks has betrayed his true physical condition.
“Well, if you want to win this game, just listen to my arrangements!” Zhang Tiejun said solemnly. He wants to win the game, but he will not sacrifice the health of his players!
“Coach, I also want to take a break!” Hou Wei said nervously. He knew that this might make the coach unhappy, but he really didn’t want to face that scary guy anymore.
Zhang Tiejun looked at Hou Wei in shock. He couldn’t believe his team’s starting shooting guard could say such absurd things!
You must know that Hou Wei did not play 10 minutes in the two quarters. When facing the extremely slow backup shooting guard of the University of Petroleum just now, he didn’t even sweat.
But now he actually said that he was tired, so there is only one reason, he is afraid of being beaten by Wang Zekai, which is a great sadness for a young player!
If he can’t change his mentality of avoiding when encountering difficulties, Zhang Tiejun can be sure that his basketball career will not go too far.
Just when Zhang Tiejun wanted to teach Hou Wei a few words, a voice came into his ears.
“Coach, I want to play!”
