Basketball is Faith - Chapter 36

At 8:30 in the morning, 12,000 spectators have entered the arena through the four entrances. They sat in the auditorium and chatted with each other, and from time to time they pointed and discussed the players who were training shots off the court.

“Look, the one wearing the blue No. 8 jersey is Liu Xiaodong. He can face Du Weibin’s potential new star with 40 points!”

“Cut, you can see that you have only paid attention to Liu Xiaodong’s game in recent days! What he is really good at is not scoring, but a dunk against the sky, like Carter’s death dunk at the Sydney Olympics. He was in the game. I did it too!”

“Really? You didn’t lie to me!”

“I know you don’t believe me, I will copy the video to you when I look back!”

Willow was practising shooting and listening to the audience on the sidelines. He was also surprised in secret. He knows that Liu Xiaodong has many fans in Crane City, especially young girls, but he did not expect that there are so many fans outside the province paying attention to Liu Xiaodong, which is not easy for the freshmen.

Liu Xiaodong is not in the mood to pay attention to the noise on the sidelines. His goal is to win, so he has to keep shooting shots in order to play in the best state.

“Okay, come here for a break!” Zhang Tiejun looked at the time on the old watch and knew that the real contest was about to begin.

Crane City University players, one by one on the bench, ready to listen to the coach’s next speech.

“I won’t talk more about tactics. You all know what to do! I just want to say that victory must belong to us!”

“Victory must belong to us!”

Crane City University players roared, making the home team’s Gulin University players turn their heads, and then their faces showed uncut smiles.

“Good morning friends, everyone! I am very happy to meet you on Monday morning. Today is the first day of the National University League (Division). What we bring to you is that the Gulin University vs. Hecheng University A focus battle. The one who came to the studio as a guest commentator today is familiar to everyone, guided by Zhang Wei Zhang!” Yu Jia, the male host of the Sports Channel, introduced emotionally.

The game is ready to start, and the two players stand on the field. Gulin University sent their strongest lineup: point guard Zhang Hui, shooting guard Sun Bin, small forward Qiu Mingze, power forward Chu Zhiyuan, center Zhang Yuhang.

Hecheng University’s lineup has changed a bit. The original starting shooting guard Hou Wei was replaced by Liu Xiaodong.

“Liu Xiaodong actually played? As far as I know before the game, he was a substitute before. How did he start the game today?” Yu Jia said with some confusion.

“For a player who can score 40 points, the head coach will not always let him be on the bench!” Zhang Wei said with a smile. He did the preparatory work before the game and has a certain understanding of Liu Xiaodong’s talent and recent performance.

“Beep~” As the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, the basketball was thrown into the air. Zhang Yuhang easily snatched the ball from Liu Mu and passed it to Zhang Hui, who came to meet him. The latter slowly advanced with the ball, waiting for Zhang Yuhang to take his place.

Sun Bin ran to the right side and stood at a forty-five degree angle. He looked at the thin blue No. 8 in front of him. He couldn’t figure out how the coach would let himself pay attention to this newcomer. Didn’t he just score 40 points, or he was in the trash time. What threat can there be?

“Rookie, you can’t help me, or let your coach change someone!” Sun Bin stretched out his hand for the ball while speaking, and he wanted to play a single.

“Really? If you can blow the ball into the basket with your mouth, I will definitely let the coach substitute, because I am afraid that I will die of laughter!” Liu Xiaodong has not been afraid of anyone, especially for provoking provocations. He would be happy to spray back his opponent.

“Hmph, I hope your defensive ability is as slippery as your tongue!” After receiving the ball, Sun Bin suddenly started to the left!

Liu Xiaodong, who had seen the opponent’s intentions a long time ago, used his keen traverse ability to block Sun Bin’s breakthrough route to the right.

Sun Bin slammed the brakes, and before hitting Liu Xiaodong, the center of gravity of his body suddenly fell back and he almost shot the basketball in his hand.

Liu Xiaodong’s early blockade stopped Sun Bin’s offense. Sun Bin can only take two steps back and look for opportunities or pass the ball.

“That’s what you can do! Don’t brag about it next time, I will feel embarrassed for you! You should pass the ball to your teammates, you can’t…” Liu Xiaodong sprayed trash and pressed his body forward, hands Also swing from time to time, causing offensive interference to the opponent.

Sun Bin breathed fire in his eyes, he must not let the newcomer in front of him despise! So he slapped the ball to his left hand and he was about to break through again!

But just before the ball touched Sun Bin’s left hand, a well-prepared right hand quickly slapped the ball away.

“It’s a steal! It’s still a press before the breakthrough. This is really surprising!” Zhang Wei looked surprised. He didn’t expect that the defensive intensity was so tough at the beginning of the game.

After Liu Xiaodong steals, he rushes to halftime quickly. The Gulin University players have excellent reaction speed. Their point guard Zhang Hui and small forward Qiu Mingze returned to the three-point line first~www.mtlnovel.com~ and forced Liu Xiaodong to stop.

At this time, Guo Cheng and Qian Ning from Bingcheng University ran over, and there was a short three-on-two situation in the front court.

Liu Xiaodong shot the ball in front of Guo Cheng and quickly ran to the right. Qiu Mingze reflexively wanted to chase after him, but was blocked by Qian Ning.

Guo Cheng stood outside the three-point line and threw the ball to the backboard with both hands. Zhang Hui jumped up and wanted to intercept, but the ball went over him and flew towards Liu Xiaodong who jumped into the penalty area.

Liu Xiaodong grabbed the basketball with both hands, and when his head was about to hit the edge of the backboard, he twisted his body and dunked the ball into the basket forcefully! 2 to 0

“Aerial relay! This is an aerial relay! I heard people say that Liu Xiaodong’s jumping ability is amazing before the game, but I saw it today!” Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

“Yeah, what an amazing talent, I can feel that explosive power across the screen!” Zhang Wei also replied with some excitement.

On the field, Guo Cheng ran up to Liu Xiaodong and pushed the schoolboy hard to vent his excitement!

“Damn newcomer, you completely irritated me!” Sun Bin gritted his teeth and creaked. He vowed to teach this newcomer well to vent his anger!

“Captain, we should serve.” Qiu Mingze looked at Chu Zhiyuan who was running to the bottom line, and kindly reminded Sun Bin who was still dazed to move.

“I know!” Sun Bin said angrily, turned and ran to the half court, leaving only Qiu Mingze with an embarrassed face.

“Should he not go to catch Zhang Hui and dribble to the front?” Qiu Mingze whispered and ran according to his tactical position.

Off the field, coach Zhang Tiejun looked at Liu Xiaodong who was back on defense, with a gratified smile, he knew that his decision was not wrong.
