Chapter 11 Rhythm Master
What does ipism mean to a basketball player?Li Yao is a living example.

A three-step layup without any interference, a shot that was harder to miss than make, and he just messed it up. The ball went so far that it didn't even touch the basket.

But he does know how to score, he can even be called very proficient in this area, but he is really not good at scoring, this is also an indisputable fact.

It is such a performance that until now Li Yao has not scored a point on behalf of No. 0 Middle School in an official game. Even if he has not scored a single point, the number of shots taken in all games combined is not as good as Mu Chenfeng's shots in one game.

Not scoring does not mean that Li Yao has nothing to do on the offensive end. Another record has successfully helped him to the top of the list, that is, the assist list. The No.3 total assists is Li Yao.

There will be 16 colleges and universities participating in each high school league, divided into upper and lower halves. Each team will play two home and away games against teams in the same division. In this way, there will be 14 contests in the regular season. The top four teams in the division will enter the subsequent knockout rounds.

After a season, if the team goes all the way to the finals, they will have to play 17 games in total.

After the third middle school lost to the attached middle school, he lost the qualification to participate in the follow-up knockout rounds. In the middle of the season, Li Yao missed a game due to personal reasons, so Li Yao played a total of 13 games, but his assists on the assist list turned out to be an astonishing 158. He averaged 12.1 assists per game. This average assist number should rank first. The top two are the core of the attached high school Qiu Fei with 163 assists and the second foreign language organization forward with 161 assists. Zhang Jianing, both of them participated in all 14 games with full attendance, and both entered the knockout round.

In the end, this list will be counted after the end of the winter season, and Li Yao is likely to hit the assists per game leader.

Mu Chenfeng, who wanted to lead the second team into the second half, could only look at the same score dryly, and didn't say anything. It was a bit difficult to hand the ball to Li Yao when the countdown was about to end. If it was someone else, the goal would definitely be scored.

"It's okay, it's already pretty good." Mu Chenfeng didn't regret passing the ball to him. For Li Yao, it's rare to take a shot in a game. He would rather violate the rule when the 24 seconds expired than hold the ball tightly and refuse to shoot.

"I'm more suitable for passing than scoring." Li Yao repeated the layup action just now. The skill of sending the basketball into the basket is really too difficult for him.

"Leave the scoring to me." Mu Chenfeng patted him on the shoulder, "I'll leave the organization to you." Mu Chenfeng was not worried about this, and completely delegated power to Li Yao. Organization is not just about dribbling. The focus is on timing and rhythm, which is Li Yao's strongest point.

"I'll show them something in the second half." The teammate said, the confidence came from Mu Chenfeng and Li Yao. With these two in the team, it always makes people feel more at ease, and it's natural to be more assertive when talking big.

"Everyone, be ready to catch the ball at any time." Mu Chenfeng told every team member that Li Yao is passing the ball to everyone now, and it is easy to make mistakes if you are not concentrating.

"Everyone keep up with the rhythm." Returning to his familiar position of point guard, Li Yao immediately entered the state, "Don't hold me back."

In the first half, the second team kicked off. In the second half, the ball was exchanged, and the first team took the lead in attacking.

Li Yao was unhurried and took 8 seconds to dribble the ball across the half court. The moment his foot crossed the halfway line, the players of the second team immediately became nervous. Except for Su Miao, he didn't feel any abnormality. Li Yao was dribbling the ball, and the players were running around. Everything happened normally.

"The atmosphere is not right." Su Miao frowned slightly, and he clearly felt the nervous breathing of his teammates.

swoosh~
Li Yao, who was only seen, lifted his hand slightly, and the basketball penetrated the first line of defense at an extremely fast speed, flew straight to the corner, and passed the ball almost across the entire half court to Mu Chenfeng, who was lying in ambush in the corner, accurately and powerfully.

"This pass!"

What surprised Su Miao was not how fast the ball was passed, but was surprised by Li Yao's vision. There were at least two defenders covering the two of them. He was able to find Mu Chenfeng who had escaped the defense and assisted the latter to hit an open three-pointer. What is this talent?Such a ball cannot be touched by chance.

In the offensive round of the second team, Su Miao missed a mid-range shot, breaking the previous five consecutive hits.

Li Yao turned around and used his teammate's pick-and-roll cover to successfully break the second team's man-to-man defense. The ball was passed to the teammate who was running back.

There is no limit on the number of fouls committed in a team match, but as in regular games, free throws are also required for defensive fouls.

Teammates standing at the free throw line will make additional free throws.

With two assists, Li Yao helped the team add 5 points.

A missed mid-range shot did not make Su Miao feel less comfortable. At the position where he missed the shot just now, Su Miao scored the ball in the same way to restore his momentum. He did not allow himself to make the same mistake. In the second half, Su Miao's mid-range shots increased significantly.

The first team's offensive continued unabated, and it had been a long time since we had seen each other in a team match like this. Of course, we had to play well.

Li Yao, in particular, used his passing to completely revitalize the team. He organized Mu Chenfeng to devote himself to the offense and took out his arsenal one by one.

Jump shots, breakthroughs, three-pointers, floating shots, and even hit a small hook on Su Miao's head. In just 3 minutes, Mu Chenfeng hit 5 goals, 4 of which came from Li Yao's direct assists.

Su Miao is not a vegetarian either, but the support that his teammates can bring to him is really limited. He has to organize, defend and score. He can do almost all the things that need to be done on the court by himself. He responded to every ball Mu Chenfeng made, so that the score was not opened.

"Huh~" Su Miao took a deep breath, and the disadvantages of staying away from the court for too long began to appear. Even though she could quickly become proficient in technology with experience, the disadvantages in physical fitness cannot be compensated by experience. The high-intensity competition made Su Miao begin to show fatigue.

"It's almost the limit." Even though Su Miao tried her best to suppress her fatigue, Li Yao still saw through it at a glance. This kind of fatigue has been revealed since the beginning of the second half. Increased mid-range shots and reduced muscle collisions inside are all signs of physical decline.

"What's wrong?" Mu Chenfeng asked.

"It's nothing, maybe we have to speed up." Li Yao looked at Su Miao with a sneer, and he planned to use a more compact attack to drag Su Miao down.

"Everyone keep up." Li Yao commanded, this time he no longer dribbled like a walk, but quickly pushed the ball across the half court.

The sudden change of rhythm made Su Miao feel anxious. Given his current problem, the slower the pace of the game, the better for him. The faster the pace, the greater the consumption. His remaining physical energy can only cope with such a quick transition for a few rounds. There is still a long time left in the game, and he will definitely not be able to make it to the end.

What you are afraid of will come more and more!Li Yao raised the rhythm of the game to another level. The entire first team passed the ball smoothly under Li Yao's control. The second team could only ensure that no one was missed by constantly rotating defenses. The non-stop running accelerated the physical consumption of the players.

What is even more frightening is that this kind of consumption is meaningless. This time the offensive basketball passed through the hands of everyone in the first team, and finally the basketball fell into the hands of Mu Chenfeng. After the defense was changed, the person in charge of defending Mu Chenfeng at this time was Su Miao, but he did not defend. His footsteps could no longer keep up with the rotation of the ball.

"Damn it." Both legs were as heavy as lead, "Move."

The tactics of the first team worked again. They just wanted to force the second team to keep changing defenses through the rotation of the ball, and finally switched Su Miao to defend Mu Chenfeng.Su Miao, whose physical fitness is on the verge of limit, is no longer a defensive gate, but has become a defensive loophole.

Mu Chenfeng made a mid-range shot, and Su Miao exerted her last bit of strength to defend with all her strength.

boom!
With a loud noise, Su Miao's knees hit the floor heavily.After all, he didn't take a step.

"Brother." Su Mengyao entered the field immediately, she was very worried that Su Miao would be injured again, and the team members also surrounded her.

"Senior." Mu Chenfeng stepped forward to help Su Miao up.

With a big hand, "No need." Su Miao rejected Mu Chenfeng, supported the ground with all her strength, tried to stand up, and the sweat on her body fell on the floor drop by drop.
