Basketball is Faith - Chapter 17

　　 “Pause!” Li Zijiang walked to the technical station and said. He can’t just watch the score catch up and just ignore it. No matter how powerful Wang Zekai offensively, he has to receive the ball first.

“I saw Coach Li Zijiang walked to the technical stage. Is he going to call a timeout? There are two consecutive timeouts in less than a minute. Is it a bit too cautious? You know it’s only the second quarter! “Liu Qiliang said puzzledly. He knew for a long time that Li Zijiang’s tactics were changeable. Is there any clever trick?

Liang Jun dribbled the ball through halftime, and just wanted to observe the passing route, the whistle sounded paused. He walked to the sidelines in a depressed mood, but with a pass error, the coach called a timeout, still not believing himself.

“Liang Jun, you have a rest!” Li Zijiang said a bit stiffly. He wanted to reprimand him for a few words, but then he gave up on this idea. For a player who has no talent, how high expectations he can have.

“Li Jie, you have to break through with the ball more when you are on the court, so that Zekai can attract the defense and divide the ball, so that Zekai can have an easier opportunity to attack!” After Li Zijiang finished, he turned to look at Wang Zekai, he wanted Arrange offensive tasks for the most proud disciples.

Hecheng University, Zhang Tiejun simply praised Liu Xiaodong and started to make personnel adjustments.

? “Guo Cheng, you will end the break first, I will arrange Xiaodong to organize the team offense for you!”

? “Yes, coach!” Guo Cheng replied, breathing heavily. He has been playing for a quarter and a half, already exhausted, and needs a good rest to prepare for the second half.

? “Hou Wei, you play to defend Wang Zekai. You can take a foul if necessary. I would rather watch him stand on the free throw line than he has a comfortable shooting opportunity!”

Hou Wei heard what the coach said, although he was a little unwilling to confront Wang Zekai, he did not dare to refute it.

“Others, when defending opposing players, they should also pay attention to the defense of Wang Zekai. As long as he receives the ball, try to double-team him with Hou Wei!” After Zhang Tiejun finished, the timeout was up.

? The game restarted. As soon as Li Jie received the frontcourt serve, he saw Liu Xiaodong in front of him. He couldn’t help but wonder if he was wrong-proof.

“Are you surprised?” While Liu Xiaodong spoke, his right hand suddenly reached out to the basketball controlled by Li Jie.

Li Jie took a step back with a conditioned dribble, avoiding Liu Xiaodong’s steal.

“I’m not Liang Jun!” Li Jie finished speaking, shaking his wrist, and passed the ball to Wang Zekai on the right.

Wang Zekai held the ball with both hands and raised it quickly. After deceiving Hou Wei with a bad mentality to jump up, he immediately dribbled the ball to a frustrated Hou Wei.

Zhu Zihua, who was closest to Wang Zekai, quickly rushed over to make up for defense.

Wang Zekai faced Zhu Zihua who rushed forward. He didn’t hesitate to take off and shoot.

Zhu Zihua tried his best to jump up to interfere, but before he took off, Wang Zekai had already shot the basketball. After the basketball drew a standard arc in the air, it steadily hit the basket.

“I thought you would change after you rest, but I didn’t expect it to be that way!” When Wang Zekai returned to the defense, he deliberately ran to Hou Wei and sneered.

Hou Wei did not rebut, he just lowered his head and ran to the sideline, urging Liu Xiaodong to catch the ball.

Liu Xiaodong dribbled the ball and stopped two steps beyond the three-point line, and reached out to make a pick-and-roll gesture. Yu Feixin ran over with a grasp, this is the cooperation he and Liu Xiaodong often use when training in the team.

Liu Xiaodong started suddenly, and Li Jie was blocked by Yu Fei before he could react.

Ouyang Xiahua immediately changed defense, and he moved horizontally to Liu Xiaodong. Liu Xiaodong turned his back and passed Ouyang Xiahua.

Seeing Liu Xiaodong rushing to the basket, Feng Chuanzhi immediately gave up his defense against Zhu Zihua and rushed towards Liu Xiaodong.

Facing the empty basket, Liu Xiaodong didn’t rush to take a shot. Instead, he glanced at Feng Chuanzhi who was chasing behind him from the corner of his eye.

Liu Xiaodong lifted the ball to his head. After shaking Feng Chuanzhi, he flicked his wrist backward.

Zhu Zihua rushed to catch the basketball, his left leg slammed, his body vacated, and Feng Chuanzhi, who fell through his body, dunked the ball into the basket.

“After Liu Xiaodong played around with three players from the University of Petroleum, he passed the ball to Zhu Zihua. The players from the University of Petroleum had no choice but to face Liu Xiaodong. He had completely shown his confidence! Liu Qiliang exclaimed excitedly. He didn’t. Thinking of Liu Mu and Guo Cheng’s end, Liu Xiaodong can still lead Hecheng University and opponents to attack each other.

The University of Petroleum sent a baseline ball, Li Jie pretended to break the ball and passed the ball to Wang Zekai in the corner with a flick of his wrist, who directly ignored Hou Wei’s defense and threw the ball into the basket.

Liu Xiaodong got the ball and stopped at the three-point line and reached out to make a pick-and-roll gesture.

Just when Li Jie thought Liu Xiaodong was going to use the pick and roll to break through, he suddenly passed the ball. The basketball flew from the right side of Yu Fei and flew towards the basket.

Fan Ming, whose attention was attracted by Liu Xiaodong, was a little lax in defense against Channing, who suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the basket. This scene did not escape Liu Xiaodong’s eyes.

The basketball flew into Channing’s hands just right, without any defense in front of him, Channing dunked the ball into the basket without hesitation.

Li Jie took possession of the ball and passed the ball directly to Wang Zekai. He knew that Wang Zekai had absolute confidence in attacking Hou Wei.

But something unexpected happened to Li Jie, Wang Zekai did not choose to attack, but reached out to let him go through the pick and roll.

Li Jie was puzzled. Why did Wang Zekai let himself go through the pick-and-roll? Does he want to single out Liu Xiaodong?

? After the pick and roll, Liu Xiaodong was forced to switch to Wang Zekai. With a confident smile on his face, Wang Zekai wanted to single Liu Xiaodong and crush the self-confidence that Liu Xiaodong had just established.

Wang Zekai dribbled the ball slowly, and when he crossed the three-point line, he suddenly accelerated and rushed forward!

? Liu Xiaodong thought he was going to force a breakthrough, so he quickly stepped back and stretched his arms to seal it. But Wang Zekai didn’t stop like he thought ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but suddenly stopped and stepped outside the three-point line.

Wang Zekai moves very quickly. He believes that as long as he leaves two shots for himself, he can shoot the ball.

However, Wang Zekai surprised Wang Zekai. When he suddenly stopped and then retreated to take a shot, Liu Xiaodong also stopped in an instant, took two steps forward, and came close to him.

Although Liu Xiaodong’s reaction speed was surprising, Wang Zekai did not stop his movements. He still squeezed the basketball, his legs pressed hard, ready to jump shot.

? Wang Zekai firmly believes that with his height and wingspan advantage, this ball will definitely be shot in front of Liu Xiaodong!

As soon as Wang Zekai left the floor with his feet, he felt the hands lifted to his chest suddenly lightened, and the basketball disappeared from his hands.

Liu Xiaodong looked at the timing and drew it hard, and bluntly grabbed the basketball from Wang Zekai’s hand.

“Quick break!” Liu Xiaodong yelled at Hou Dawei, who was closest to the center line, and the latter immediately reacted and rushed through the half-court without Li Jie’s entanglement.

? Seeing Hou Wei rushing into the penalty area, Liu Xiaodong ran beyond the three-point line and passed the ball over Li Jie’s head.

Although Hou Wei was not tough enough to face Wang Zekai, it was only Wang Zekai! He glared with his legs and leaped high. In Li Jie’s surprised gaze, he grabbed the flying basketball and threw the ball into the basket.

“Roar!” After landing, Hou Wei thumped his chest and roared, venting the depression in his heart!

After the goal was scored, Hakaseong University overtook the University of Petroleum by 1 point. In the rest of the second quarter, it almost became Liu Xiaodong’s assist and Wang Zekai shot the two performers.

Although Liu Xiaodong does not have the offensive ability of Wang Zekai, his overall view is comparable to that of a point guard. This allows the players from the University of Petroleum to recognize this newcomer!
