Basketball is Faith - Chapter 18

Liu Xiaodong’s consecutive assists opened up the offense of Hecheng University. The University of Petroleum led by Wang Zekai ended the first half of the game 49 to 52, 3 points behind.

The home audience used a strong boo to give the Hecheng University players who walked into the passage of the visiting team to vent their depression. I thought that without the leadership of Liu Mu and Guo Cheng in the second quarter, Crane City University would have suffered a huge decline, but I did not expect that under the connection of that freshman, it would have surpassed the score.

The audience looked at the large LED screen with gloomy expressions. The temporarily frozen score was so dazzling that they had an urge to remove the screen and throw it into the trash can.

In the visiting team’s locker room, Zhang Tiejun is holding a tactical drawing board and is arranging tactics for the rest players.

“Xiaodong, you go back to the shooting guard in the second half, and then defend Wang Zekai, you will give me face-to-face defense, don’t give him any more shooting space!”

“Liu Mu, while you are defending the opponent’s center, you must also pay attention to Wang Zekai’s breakthrough. As long as he dared to rush into the penalty area, you will give me a bit fierce and let him know how good you are!”

“Everyone else, let me let go of their hands and feet to defend, don’t be intimidated! We must defend like a steel city wall, so that the opponent’s head is broken!”

There was not much time left in the intermission, and the players of the two teams began to enter the player channel one after another. When the players from Crane City University walked out of the player tunnel, the gymnastic booed again.

When the players from the University of Petroleum came out, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Although the establishment of the University of Petroleum team was relatively late, the basketball atmosphere in recent years is really good, especially with a group of radical fans who support them.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Jie had just passed the dribble and was guarded by Guo Cheng, but he had no choice but to pass the ball.

Wang Zekai turned around after receiving the ball and wanted to pass Liu Xiaodong, but after turning around, he found that Liu Xiaodong was still in front of him, and he couldn’t help but sneer.

“You can’t stop me!” Wang Zekai handed the ball to his left hand, slammed his feet on the floor, and rushed towards the right side of Liu Xiaodong’s body.

Liu Xiaodong could only follow closely behind Wang Zekai. He had already gone all out just now, but he still failed to stop Wang Zekai, who was so powerful.

Wang Zekai charged the ball and rushed into the penalty area, facing Willow standing under the basket, he jumped up without any hesitation. Looking at the movement of his right arm back, it seems that he wants to be the first center in the province!

“You’re still far behind!” Liu Mu roared and jumped up. His straight right arm has swung toward the basketball that Wang Zekai had dunked.

Everyone thought that Wang Zekai’s hat was going to be settled. The audience at the home court has closed their glasses so as not to see the scene of the star being blocked.

Wang Zekai, who was able to raise his right arm in the air to buckle, suddenly took the ball to his chest, avoided Liu Mu’s right hand, turned his body sideways in the air, and threw the ball from under Liu Mu’s right arm to the basket.

Yanagi looked at the basketball that was about to reach the height of the basket, his face was full of surprise. He wanted to turn around to block the rising basketball, but his body had dropped sharply.

“Pop!” A loud noise rang in Wang Zekai’s ears. He raised his head and looked into the air incredulously. Liu Xiaodong had already slapped the ball to the backboard.

The landing Willow quickly took off and held the rebounding basketball firmly in his hand.

“Pass the ball!” Guo Cheng yelled out of the three-point line. Liu Mu made a long pass to Guo Cheng without any hesitation. The latter dribbled the ball and rushed towards the half.

After Liu Xiaodong landed, he and Wang Zekai beside him rushed towards the half court at the same time. The two of them also used each other’s push and shoving movements while running.

Li Jie rushed into the three-point line and opened his arms to stop Guo Cheng, who quickly shot the ball to find a breakthrough opportunity.

“Pass!” Liu Xiaodong dashed across the three-point line and shouted without hesitation. Guo Cheng glanced at Wang Zekai, who was in front of Liu Xiaodong, and passed the ball hesitantly. After all, he had no better choice.

“Boy, you want to score in front of me, don’t dream!” Wang Zekai said fiercely next to Liu Xiaodong, he was very annoyed at the blocking just now.

“You’d better defend seriously, I’m going to dunk on your head!” After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking, he began to shake his shoulders continuously. It seemed that he was about to break through.

Wang Zekai listened to Liu Xiaodong’s arrogant provocation, and saw Liu Xiaodong starting to speed up the dribble. He stepped back and lowered his center of gravity, fully prepared to prevent breakthroughs.

After Liu Xiaodong suddenly took a step to the left, he pulled the basketball back to the right. Wang Zekai had long seen that Liu Xiaodong’s breakthrough to the left was a false move, and he put all his energy on the right.

Just when everyone thought Liu Xiaodong was going to break through to the right, he took a step back and shot a jumper.

Although Liu Xiaodong’s shooting is not very stable, it does not mean that he can’t make it. Especially in the middle distance position without interference, he still has a certain degree of accuracy. The basketball traverses a precise arc and falls steadily into the basket.

Coach Li Zijiang on the home team’s seat is different~www.mtlnovel.com~ He doesn’t understand that in the video against the University of Chemical Technology, Liu Xiaodong has no shooting ability. How can he still shoot the ball against Wang Zekai now? Hidden strength in the first game?

At the visiting team’s seat, Zhang Tiejun looked at Liu Xiaodong, who was running back to the half-court defense, showing relief, assisting, defending, and scoring. Liu Xiaodong used all his skills to help the team. The future star finally found his confidence!

“You are really shameless, you have no integrity at all!” Wang Zekai ran to Liu Xiaodong and mocked. He despised Liu Xiaodong’s shameless behavior just now. If it were not for Liu Xiaodong’s panic, he would definitely be able to prevent the shot just now.

“You also believe what your opponent says, are you mentally retarded or idiot!” Liu Xiaodong retorted unceremoniously.

Just 1 minute and 15 seconds into the third quarter, Coach Li Zijiang walked to the technical stage. He knew that if the timeout was not called, Hakseong University would have to show its momentum, and it would be difficult to win the game.

After returning from a timeout, Wang Zekai’s defense against Liu Xiaodong was just to stick defense. As long as Liu Xiaodong catches the ball, other players from the University of Petroleum will also double-team.

Liu Xiaodong is not Wang Zekai. His shooting is unstable and his breakthrough is restricted. He can only use passing to contribute to Hecheng University.

While Liu Xiaodong’s offense stalled, Wang Zekai on the opposite side showed sharp fangs. He used various unreasonable shots to throw the ball into the basket.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, coach Zhang Tiejun replaced the exhausted Liu Xiaodong and replaced it with Hou Wei, who feared Wang Zekai. Hecheng University’s offense was repeatedly blocked.

By the end of the third quarter, Hecheng University was 62 to 68, 6 points behind the home team. Crane City University, which originally had the lead, was destroyed by Wang Zekai’s crazy attack.
