Chapter 48: Single Section Explosion
"Come on! You played well in the first two quarters," Zhao Mengqi came over to comfort and encourage, and I felt more comforted.

Zhao Mengqi wore a little black dress jacket today, with a lavender lady's shirt inside, a small bow tie, light-colored jeans and cool short hair.

At this moment, I didn't notice that Zhang Zihan didn't seem to be there.

"Thank you, thank you. In fact, I have been practicing mid-range shooting, and the shooting percentage is not high. The main reason is that the shooting is still in the practice stage of polishing, hehehe." I tried my best to cover up the embarrassing state of missing shots.

"I think you played pretty well and scored a lot of goals." Zhao Mengqi explained to me.

"Really? The hit rate is still too low, let's try to break through in the third quarter."

Zhao Mengqi nodded slightly, put her hands in front of her body and said nothing, because she knew that she couldn't give me more professional guidance, and just needed to cheer silently.

"Have you two finished talking?" Wang Bo was next to me, ready to communicate with me.

I winked at Zhao Mengqi, indicating that Boss Wang Bo needs to talk to me.Zhao Mengqi smiled, lowered her head slightly and walked towards the audience area.

"What's wrong? Brother." Wang Bo and I went straight to the point.

"In the third quarter, we still have to stick to shooting, or we should focus on breakthroughs, supplemented by shooting, and insist on hitting the touch to consume their energy inside."

"Too many shots, too low hit rate, will it not look good."

"What's not to like?"

"Statistics, according to the statistics, the personal hit rate is too low."

"..." Wang Bo said speechlessly, "At this moment, don't care about your shooting percentage, just shoot! Besides, there is only one total score in statistics, and individual shooting percentage is irrelevant."

"Well, that's right, then I'll just keep voting, hahaha" I always listen to Mr. Wang.

At the beginning of the third quarter, our school launched the offense. Zhang Jian dribbled the ball to the front court and handed it to me outside the three-point line, and all other players pulled away.

I used my body to single out the muscular man Wang Lin. As soon as I got the ball, I started to move to the right. After my body hit Wang Lin, I immediately turned around and relied on the strength of my waist and hips to keep arching in!

Dayu pulled out to help me with the pick-and-roll, and I accelerated past Gao De who was helping to defend, and inserted into the inside line.At this time, Wang Lin came back from behind Dayu, jumped high before I took off, and blocked my shooting space with one arm. I saw him jumping ahead of time, and my heart was full of joy. Then I got up and left the ground like a spring. My arms deliberately hit Wang Lin's arm in the air, and dunked the ball hard into the basket through the gap between Wang Lin's blocks!
"Shh~!" The referee blew his whistle and again fouled Wang Lin's thugs. This was his 5th foul, and he would leave the field with 6 more fouls!
I smiled with satisfaction, Wang Lin showed his teeth angrily, and Brother Bai Ya was so indignant and gritted his teeth that he was replaced by the coach!
"The opportunity is here!" I was secretly happy!After pulling out a defensive leader, I instantly felt that the burden on my body was much lighter, and I had a premonition that the offense would be greatly improved.

I immediately called Zhang Jian: "Give me all the balls later, you know the reason, Wang Lin is off!"

"If you don't say it, I'll give it to you, because I've been giving it to you!"

"Why don't you just let me dribble from the backcourt and save you trouble."

"Do your job well, don't take my job, I will give you the ball in the frontcourt." Zhang Jian attaches great importance to his job.

Another free throw!I scored 3 points!
Our offense quickly improved. The player who replaced Wang Lin was also a small forward who was over 2 meters tall. I didn't have an advantage in height, but in terms of physical fitness, I was completely crushed.

The touch accumulated in the first two quarters finally broke out in the third quarter.I began to frantically use breakthroughs and close-range shots to score points. The basic routine is to open and resist!
The so-called "pull and carry" is to face the defensive teammate with the ball in the front, and rely on the strength of the shoulders to push the opponent away. The whole action is like someone pushing the car behind after the car breaks down.I was working like a bulldozer, carrying the opponent's small forward, jumping directly into the basket, hitting the opponent's chest with my knee in the air, and smashing the ball directly into the basket with my hand, 2 points!
Another mode is pressing and hitting. The so-called "pressing and hitting" is to rely on the strength of the back to withstand the opponent's small forward.

Due to the fast bounce and high bounce, the opponent's small forward will usually jump up behind me to block the shot, but the opponent's hand can't touch the ball at all, and the height of my shot is basically equal to the open shot.

It wasn’t until this moment that I understood why Wang Bo made me persevere in shooting while the shooting percentage was not high: Once the shooting practice was successful and the feel of the shot came out, all the shots could be said to be open shots, because my bounce and bounce speed were against the sky, and the shot point was too high, a bit like a helicopter flying in the air, no one could block it!
Sometimes when I jump up and look at the ground, I am a little afraid of heights, and I am too capable to extricate myself.

In the third quarter, when I shot consecutively and consecutively, the academy directly maxed out the opponent's inside line.Although there was a small episode, after I made a beautiful shot, I provocatively laughed at Mr. Wang Lin, Mr. Bai Ya, who was on the opponent's bench, laughing like crazy, and was finally called a technical foul by the referee!But I still couldn't restrain the joy in my heart. Of course, my joy mainly came from the increase in hit rate, not from the thrill of provocation.

Offensively, Qin Feng's hit rate on the defensive end began to decline.The long two-pointer that Qin Feng relies on for survival, that is, long-range shooting, relies entirely on his touch.Shooting is different from inside breakthrough. This is like three-point shooter Redick and inside breakthrough king James. No matter how accurate Redick's shooting is, he does not have a high percentage of shooting layups as James relies on his body's inside crushing layup.

Of course, Redick saves a lot of energy by making two or three-pointers from long distances, while James' crushing style of play requires a lot of energy, but his shooting percentage is also high.

Qin Feng's hand feeling declined in the third quarter, which was in stark contrast to my short-range mid-range shots. Qin Feng missed two-pointers repeatedly. The more he missed, the more pressure he felt in his heart.

The main attack point in the third quarter was me, and Ah Huang and Zhang Jian flanked Qin Feng from left to right, killing the opponent's main attack point.

More than half of the third quarter, the score was very close, 65:67, we were only two points behind, and the School of Engineering called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the College of Engineering's style of play began to change.

First of all, Qin Feng no longer holds the ball, but decisively pulls away as a key player to attract our defense!Because we double-teamed Qin Feng, objectively caused his shooting percentage to be low. Qin Feng's initiative to pull away also opened up the defense of Ah Huang and Zhang Jian.
