Chapter 28 Man Marking, Pressing Defense

42:38.

Xia Tian scored another three points.

The opponent's players off the court shouted in unison to ask their point guard to slow down the rhythm, all they needed to do was consume the opposing team's physical strength.

The opposing point guard slowly dribbled the ball forward. At this time, Xia Tian was already panting heavily. Taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold, he quickly pulled out his jersey to wipe off his sweat, and then stuffed the jersey back.

At this time, the opponent's No. [-] position was already standing at the top of the arc on the left side of the three-point line, and the center had already reached out to ask for it at the free throw line. Yu Hao stretched out his hand to interfere, and the center on the opposite side was firmly stuck in his position. At this time, their small forwards and power forwards were both sinking on the bottom line on both sides without any movement. This also made Xia Tian and the others take a breath. What is the Princeton tactic.

The opponent's point guard dribbles the ball to the right no man's land, and at the same time the small forward on the same side also starts to run towards the point guard. Number [-] passes the ball to number [-] who has already run forward, taking advantage of the situation to block Wang Dawei on his own After the small forward received the ball, he saw that Wang Dawei, who was defending him, had been blocked, so he accelerated and prepared to break through. Unexpectedly, Cao Ben's defensive awareness was very good. At the moment of the pick-and-roll, he had already finished with Wang Dawei. He switched defenses and successfully blocked the breakthrough route of the opposing small forward.

On the opposite side, No. [-] saw that the breakthrough failed, so he hurriedly dribbled the ball behind his back and took the ball out of the three-point line. Wang Dawei took the opportunity to switch back with Cao Ben.

Seeing that his breakthrough route had been blocked by Cao Ben, he was just about to make a strong attack, but Wang Dawei and Cao Ben came back quickly after switching defenses, and hurriedly signaled his center forward to come over and pick and roll for him. This time, the pick and roll worked well. Wang Dawei was placed on the outside again, and he passed the ball to his big center. After the center received the ball, he made a fake move to make a shot. Seeing that it was Cao Ben defending himself, he turned around and pushed Cao Ben inside took a step.

Although the difference in height between Cao Ben and the opponent's center is not very big, about ten centimeters, the strength of the two sides is obviously not at the same level. The opponent's center saw Cao Ben push back a step, then turned around again, facing Cao Ben, Cao Ben saw that the situation was not good, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand to steal the ball, but the opponent's center seized the opportunity, bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity, leaned on Cao Ben with his right shoulder, and at the same time kicked his right foot hard , With a dribble behind the back and a turn around, the off-ball player took advantage of the situation to block Cao Ben and passed Cao Ben cleanly.

Everyone did not expect that such a tall opponent could have such a gorgeous dribble. Cao Ben was caught off guard, but there was nothing he could do. He felt the strength of the opponent's upper body the moment the opponent's center approached, and waited for him The body reacted, I was blocked by the opponent's off-ball player and couldn't move anymore, I could only watch helplessly as the opponent went to the basket, Yu Hao and Wu Zhen didn't have time to defend, but Xia Tian had already rushed in Under the basket, he stood in the route of the opposing center's three-step basket.

There is no way, Xia Tian sees that the opponent has forced a three-step basket, so he can only face the center forward and soar into the air.

There is obviously a confrontation between the bodies of the two in the air, but Xia Tian's strength is still too small.

He felt a dull pain in his chest, as if someone had punched him.

"Beep" the referee's whistle sounded, and the opposing center's right hand flicked lightly, and the basketball went into the net hollowly.

At this time, Xia Tian had been hit by the opponent and fell to the ground. Cao Ben and Wang Dawei went up to discuss with the referee. Are there any injuries? Seeing that Xia Tian was not injured, the two breathed a sigh of relief, and each of them pulled Xia Tian up from the ground with one hand.

At this time the referee gave the answer, it was Xia Tian's obstruction, because Xia Tian took off just now and did not form a straight up and down cylinder.

Cao Ben and Wang Dawei still wanted to argue with the referee, Xia Tian stopped them with his hand, motioned them not to talk, and obeyed the referee's penalty, after all, the referee would not easily change the judgment because of this kind of ball in the game.

Unfortunately, the opponent's center didn't make a free throw, and the point difference between the two sides returned to one point again. The point difference of one point is almost no gap.

The audience outside the arena has already cheered. The blow just now was too powerful. The sensory stimulation brought to the audience by this aerial confrontation is too obvious. Most of the audience like to watch this kind of physical collision.

The opponent's players had already laughed off the court and continued to applaud from the sidelines, which was good.

Yu Hao served from the bottom line to attack, Cao Ben dribbled the ball with his right hand, quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, then changed the ball to his left hand after half court, and moved to the left, seeing Xia Tian came to the top of the three-point arc, he immediately The ball was handed over to Xia Tian, ​​Xia Tian received the ball at the top of the three-point arc, the opponent's shooting guard didn't pounce on him immediately, he just shot a jumper, and hit the opponent by surprise, the opponent's guard never thought that Xia Tian would make such a shot , can only look back at the three-pointer.

Looking back angrily, the score has become 44 to 41. Xia Tian led the whole team to suppress the sophomore (17) class, but this point difference is too dangerous, not the kind of result Xia Tian wanted. If he wants to expand The score must be stepped up to defend. If he can steal or defend successfully, he is confident that he can expand the score.

The opponent had just served the ball, only to hear Xia Tian yell man-to-man, press the defense, Cao Ben, who had long been impatient, waited for the opponent to step into the midfield, then opened his arms and took the initiative to stick up, following very close.

The opponent's point guard was pressed by Cao Ben, and lost control of the ball nervously. Fortunately, he quickly turned sideways to protect the ball, so he didn't lose the ball.

Seeing that his teammate had difficulty dribbling, the opponent's defender hurried forward to meet him.

Seeing such a good opportunity in Xia Tian, ​​how could it be possible for the opponent's defender to catch the ball easily. He deliberately lagged half a step behind the opponent, waiting for his defender to catch the ball forward.

The opposing point guard saw his shooting guard approaching him, and jumped up to pass the ball. Unexpectedly, when he jumped up, Cao Ben had already raised his arms and jumped straight up and down. Cao Ben's fingertips just touched the basketball. After changing the passing route a little bit, the opposing point guard yelled that it was not good, but seeing that the general direction had not changed, he immediately felt relieved. Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred. His shooting guard just got the ball and had not had time to turn around. , I saw a black shadow, slipping from under his nose, when he waited for him to react, he only felt that his hand was empty, the basketball he had originally had already arrived in Xia Tian's hand.

Xia Tian patted the basketball, dribbled forward quickly, there was no one in front of him, and the opponent's point guard and shooting guard also chased after him. They originally thought that Xia Tian would choose a layup, but who knew that Xia Tian stopped outside the three-point line down.
