Basketball is Faith - Chapter 45
Entering the first day of April, thirty-two colleges and universities will begin to compete for places in the top sixteen. For this reason, in the rest of the past few days, they have often formed troops to practice tactics against the enemy.
In the Shencheng University Gymnasium, coach Wang Zhongshi is watching the players practice shooting. The team will meet the challenge of Crane City University today, for which he also specifically asked the players to come to warm up earlier.
In the past few days, Wang Zhongshi came to the conclusion from watching the video of the game that Hecheng University is not as unbearable as he thought.
Opponents also have players that are difficult to deal with. For example, the newcomer named Liu Xiaodong is an object that needs to be taken care of.
In addition to the newcomer, center Yanagi cannot be ignored. Don’t look at his stats in the last game, but his basic defensive skills and grasp of offensive timing are dangerous.
Just as Wang Zhong was thinking about the problem, footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the visiting team player. He turned his head and looked around and found that Zhang Tiejun was bringing the players from Hecheng University to practice.
Zhang Tiejun came in front of Wang Zhongshi, briefly greeted his predecessor, turned around and walked to the visiting team bench, looking at Liu Mu with concern.
After these few days of training, Liu Mu’s shots have not improved, on the contrary, he has made fewer shots from the free throw line.
Now Zhang Tiejun is a bit hesitant to let Liu Mu start, after all, there is only Liu Mu who is defensive but not offensive, and his combat effectiveness is not as good as Yu Fei.
The time soon came to 8:30, and the players of the two teams stood at their respective player channels and played according to the introduction of the host.
The photographer gave the key players of the two teams close-ups for the first time. When Feng Chenyang appeared on the LED display above the gymnasium, it once again aroused the thunderous applause of the home audience, accompanied by hoarse cheers.
When the camera switched to Liu Mu and Liu Xiaodong, there was a tsunami-like boo. This made Liu Xiaodong, who inspected the equipment, couldn’t help feeling that the treatment of the home players is good. When will Hecheng University be able to play in his own arena!
“Audience friends, good morning everyone! Welcome to the college league live broadcast for you by the sports channel. This game is between Shencheng University and Hecheng University. Below, please guide Zhang to give you a brief introduction to the two teams!”
“My friends, good morning! First of all, let’s talk about the home team Shencheng University. They were the top sixteen last year and have a dominant offensive advantage. The star player Feng Chenyang in the team is a potential small forward. The offensive method is very comprehensive, especially good at mid and long distance shooting!”
“The visiting team Hecheng University is obviously at a disadvantage. Their small forward Qian Ning is not good at defending and cannot limit Feng Chenyang’s offense.” Zhang Wei finished the explanation and looked at the starting roster of the two teams in his hand. Staying on Liu Xiaodong’s name, hesitated and stopped. Although he is optimistic about Liu Xiaodong’s potential, it does not mean that Hecheng University can overcome the huge gap in strength.
The starting five of Shencheng University’s five tigers have already made their way to the court with grandeur. They are: point guard Su Ming, shooting guard Zhuge Yunzhi, small forward Feng Chenyang, power forward Peng Yu, center Yu Dongcheng.
Crane City University is still: point guard Guo Cheng, shooting guard Liu Xiaodong, small forward Qian Ning, power forward Zhu Zihua, center Liu Mu.
In the end, Zhang Tiejun still arranged Liu Mu to start. After all, no one other than him can pose an effective defensive threat to the opposing center.
As the referee blew the whistle, the basketball was thrown high into the air. In the cheering of the audience at home, center Xu Dongcheng of Shencheng University won the ball.
Hecheng University fully retired, Liu Xiaodong stared at the shooting guard who was 1.98 meters tall and called Zhuge Yunzhi.
Liu Xiaodong learned from the video before the game that Zhuge Yunzhi, an opponent, possesses more specialties than his name. If he is not of average physical fitness, he will be more dangerous than Feng Chenyang.
Zhuge Yunzhi suddenly started. He didn’t want to spend time with Liu Xiaodong, so he ran to the other side instead. But speed is not his advantage. Liu Xiaodong hardly took any effort to catch up with Zhuge Yunzhi. When he reached the left corner, Liu Xiaodong had already blocked his receiving route.
Seeing that his shooting guard had no chance to attack, Su Peng passed the ball directly to the captain Feng Chenyang.
Qian Ning wanted to stop the ball, but Feng Chenyang leaned on his side with two consecutive fake moves.
After receiving the ball, Feng Chenyang quickly backed up two steps to the outside of the three-point line, and faced the rushing Qian Ning, he directly took off and shot.
The basketball almost flew past Qian Ning’s right middle finger, and after drawing a beautiful arc in the air, it fell straight into the hoop. 3 to 0
There was enthusiastic applause in the auditorium. They watched the playback on the screen and knew that the ball was very difficult, especially the timing must be accurate, otherwise it would be a blood cap.
“It’s so bold! If you change this ball, I’m afraid you will choose to pass the ball or look for an offensive opportunity.” Zhang Wei looked at the unwilling Qian Ning and shook his head. Some people were so confused.
“This is just a balloon, don’t worry too much, he won’t be so lucky every time! Liu Xiaodong came to Qian Ning and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.
“I know! Go and help Guo Cheng cover!” Qian Ning looked at Liu Xiaodong’s back and felt a little funny, and she was comforted by her younger brother.
Guo Cheng got the ball outside the three-point line and was stopped by Su Ming with open arms. Guo Cheng calmly commanded his teammates to move, without any fear~www.mtlnovel.com~ Su Ming knew that this little man had a good ball control, and did not rush up to steal the ball. Instead, he stared at Guo Cheng’s ball control to prevent The latter broke through.
Liu Xiaodong interspersed with the running position and wanted to get rid of Zhuge Yunzhi’s defense. Who knows that this shooting guard, who is not good at speed, can always arrive in time before he wants to open the open space. It is futile to let him run a few times.
Qian Ning and Zhu Zihua were also firmly watched by the opposing players. There was no proper chance to catch the ball. Only Liu Mu at the basket used his flexible footsteps to restrain each other with Yu Dongcheng.
Guo Cheng also had no chance to attack, so he could only hoist the ball into the post. After receiving the ball, Liu Mu hesitated a little. He was considering whether to pass the ball out, but when he saw that his teammates didn’t have a good chance, he could only bite the bullet and attack!
He first relied on Yu Dongcheng to play singles with his back, and when he was about to reach the basket, he turned his back to open the shooting space and shot a jumper.
Just when Xu Dongcheng felt annoyed that the ball would be scored, he heard a pleasant sound and the basketball bounced out of the frame. Yu Dongcheng was overjoyed and quickly got stuck in position and grabbed a defensive rebound.
“It’s a pity that the goal was not scored. Liu Mu has already opened up his shooting space. It seems that he has not yet entered the state.” Zhang Wei said with some regret.
Shencheng University offensive, Su Peng waved his teammates to slow down the rhythm, positional warfare is their strength.
Liu Xiaodong stuck in front of Zhuge Yunzhi, preventing him from catching the ball. But Su Peng didn’t think about passing it to his shooting guard. He passed the ball directly to Feng Chenyang and let the latter continue to play Channing alone.
Feng Chenyang did not live up to expectations. After a breakthrough fake, he retreated to the three-point line and shot again. 6 to 0
Qianning looked at Feng Chenyang who returned to the defense and was very aggrieved. He had just focused on defense, but he still couldn’t stop the opponent’s attack.
