Basketball is Faith - Chapter 39

　　 “In the second quarter, Xiaodong will take a break first! Hou Wei, you come on with a substitute, pay attention to the rhythm of the attack!” Zhang Tiejun said seriously.

Liu Xiaodong lowered his head and did not speak. He knew that he was weak in the second half and did not limit Sun Bin’s offense, which made the team lose its lead.

Zhang Tiejun glanced at Liu Xiaodong, and did not say anything to comfort or explain, he knew that some difficulties still need to be overcome by himself.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Gu Lin University replaced four substitutes, leaving the captain Sun Bin on the field, wanting to continue to expand the lead.

Hou Wei has a good scoring ability, but he is much worse than Liu Xiaodong on the defensive end. This is not caused by experience, but a natural physical talent. Although his body is strong, his wingspan and speed are not outstanding.

Sun Bin was cautiously creating opportunities for his teammates at the beginning, but slowly he found Hou Wei’s defensive shortcomings, and he was not polite. He made sudden shots and made Hou Wei complain.

Off the court, Zhang Tiejun’s face was very ugly. He knew that Hou Wei had tried his best to defend, but Sun Bin could still make the ball!

“It seems like a very unwise choice for Crane City University to replace all the main players. Sun Bin played like a fish in the water in their restricted area very happily!” Zhang Wei said with a joke.

After 　　, with the help of Fei’s pick-and-roll, Hou Wei ran to the corner and succeeded in making a long shot, only to break the awkward situation of not scoring more than two minutes.

Gulin University attacked. Sun Bin stood at a 45-degree angle on the right to ask for the ball. Facing Hou Wei, he was almost face to face. He leaned back and hit near the free throw line and turned around to make a jumper.

Liu Xiaodong was seated on the bench, watching Sun Bin who challenged himself after scoring a goal, he almost stood up and played.

“Don’t worry, watch the game well. Only by calming down can you find out the weakness of your opponent.” Guo Cheng patted Liu Xiaodong on the shoulder. He knew that the talent of this junior was not comparable to that of Sun Bin.

When the match was 5 minutes and 15 seconds, coach Zhang Tiejun got up and walked to the referee’s bench, and then Liu Xiaodong and the other four main players all played.

“With 5 minutes left before halftime, Hecheng University is 11 points behind. They need to seize the opportunity to recover the score during the time after Sun Bin is off the court!” Zhang Weijie said.

Liu Xiaodong moved according to the tactics, Guo Cheng took the ball through the half court and then passed into the inside. Liu Mu relied on Zhang Yuhang’s back and singles, and tried to turn around twice to shoot, but Zhang Yuhang blocked the shooting route. He could only distribute the ball to the outside.

After receiving the ball, Liu Xiaodong called a pick-and-roll, and Liu Mu quickly ran up. Liu Xiaodong used the pick-and-roll to break through, leaving behind his backup shooting guard Li Xu.

Zhang Yuhang immediately changed defense, and he moved laterally to stop Liu Xiaodong.

Seeing that Liu Xiaodong, who was accelerating, was about to hit the tall man in front of him, he suddenly disguised himself and passed by Zhang Yuhang’s right side.

Chu Zhiyuan abandoned Zhu Zihua and returned to the penalty area to defend Liu Xiaodong at the basket. But before Chu Zhiyuan reached the penalty zone line, Liu Xiaodong suddenly stopped shooting within one step of the free throw line.

Chu Zhiyuan leaped high, and failed to stop the flying basketball from falling into the basket.

After scoring a goal, Liu Xiaodong shook his fist towards Sun Bin, who was resting on the sidelines, meaning that you showed me your favor, and I am about to fight back!

“Provocation! This is a naked provocation! What does Liu Xiaodong want to do?” The host of the sports channel shouted, he wanted to give the audience a little passion in front of the TV, but he could not let them change channels to affect the ratings.

Li Xu looked at the figure of Liu Xiaodong returning to defense, his eyes were full of anger, he was ignored by a freshman!

So instead of running according to the original tactics, he reached out to ask Zhang Hui for the ball.

Zhang Hui, who was directing his teammates to move, was slightly taken aback when he saw Li Xu’s movements. If it was another substitute, he would simply ignore it and ask the substitute to move.

But Li Xu is not the same. He and himself are friends in the same class and have real materials. If Sun Bin’s talent is not too outstanding, Li Xu is the best choice for the team’s starting shooting guard.

Zhang Feng thought for a while, and passed the ball. After Li Xu received the ball, he directly made a breakthrough fake move. Liu Xiaodong stared closely at the opponent’s shaking shoulders and body center of gravity.

Just when Liu Xiaodong was fully focused, Li Xu suddenly started to the left. Liu Xiaodong swiftly moved horizontally, but just halfway through his steps, he hit a wall of flesh.

Watching Li Xu pass and rush towards the restricted area, Liu Xiaodong hurriedly turned around and chased him.

Li Xu was very proud of his breakthrough. The newcomer ignored him and now finally paid the price!

He learned from Liu Xiaodong’s previous offensive method, and made a sudden stop within the free throw line, hoping to repay the humiliation he had received before.

But as soon as Li Xu shot his jumper, a blue figure appeared behind him.

Li Xu only felt a strong wind rushing past his head, and an unknown premonition suddenly rose in his heart. He knew that the rookie had good jumping ability, and he had chased his opponent more than once!

As Li Xu expected, it was Liu Xiaodong who waved his ball out of bounds in the air!

“Beautiful chasing and blocking! I think this ball will definitely leave a shadow in Li Xu’s heart! I don’t think he should confront the rookie with amazing bounce ability.” To increase the ratings, the morality has fallen a bit.

Zhang Wei sat next to him and smiled awkwardly, thinking that you would not kneel and lick like this in order to attract the audience.

Gulin University sent a sideline ball. After receiving the ball, Zhang Feng did not pass it to Li Xu. Instead, he hoisted the ball into the hands of inside Zhang Yuhang, who turned to the basket and succeeded.

Hecheng University attacked. After Guo Cheng took the ball for half the time, he smiled and passed the ball straight to Liu Xiaodong and blinked.

Liu Xiaodong caught the ball for a moment, and then he understood Guo Cheng’s intentions. He wanted to provoke Li Xu to chase points~www.mtlnovel.com~ But Liu Xiaodong did not spray trash, he has his own principles. He didn’t use such a unique skill when he didn’t encounter a stronger opponent than himself!

“Rookie, you succeeded in angering me! I will pay you back soon to let you know how good I am. I advise you to pass the ball as soon as possible and cry when the time comes…” Li Xu posted Liu Xiaodong vented his anger, and almost all of his spitting stars sprayed on Liu Xiaodong’s face.

Liu Xiaodong closed his lips tightly. He was afraid that he would spit it out in disgust. If he didn’t have a basketball in his hand, he would definitely run back to the visiting team bench and wipe his face clean with a towel.

“Rookie, talk! Why are you not talking! Are you scared!” Li Xu chattered endlessly, thinking that Liu Xiaodong was frightened by his aura.

Just when Li Xu was complacent, Liu Xiaodong suddenly stepped to the left. After tricking Li Xu to move laterally, he shot the ball to the right and directly broke through. When Li Xu turned back to defense, Liu Xiaodong had already reached the free throw line.

Willow flexibly circled in front of Zhang Yuhang and helped Liu Xiaodong get an offensive route in the penalty area.

Liu Xiaodong stepped into the free throw line, slammed his left leg, his body jumped up, and after sliding for a full second, he dunked the ball into the basket.

Li Xu looked at Liu Xiaodong after he landed, and was stunned. Liu Xiaodong’s gliding distance made it hard for him to believe that everything that happened before him was true.

“Before you next speak, you’d better go brush your teeth!” Liu Xiaodong finished talking to Li Xu, and ran to the visiting team bench without looking back.

After 　　, Liu Xiaodong wiped his face and returned to exert his strength again. He faced Li Xu’s close defense at the bottom corner, and luckily hit a difficult three-pointer.

By the end of halftime, Hecheng University had recovered the lagging score and tied with Gulin University at 52.
