Chapter 211 Youth Competition (27)

After landing, he quickly staggered two steps and stabilized his center of gravity. Everyone heard the referee's whistle. Before he could be happy, Fatty Zhang rushed forward and warmly held his "beaten" left hand just now. He whispered in his ear: "Li Yifan did a beautiful job, work harder and beat him down with me!"

His small voice was just opposite to Hornwood who was sighing a little, turned his head in disdain, and pretended not to hear it with a good temper.

But Li Yifan said with a mournful face: "If you hold my hand again, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for him to go down first!"

Li Yifan easily hit the free throw. 9:5
……

After receiving the ball, Fries crossed it to St. Flo at the top of the arc. Seeing that there was no good chance to pass the ball, St. Flo immediately transferred it to Turkoglu at the bottom corner.

At this time, the two sides have entered a positional battle, and the defense of the youth training team seems to be relatively stable.Soon the ball was transferred to St. Flo's hands, and Long Xun immediately took a step forward. St. Flo could only pass the ball again.

Fries received the ball without even looking at the basket, and made a gesture and passed the ball again.

Seeing him like this, Li Yifan didn't even want to go up to force him, but just stood there and shook his hands casually.In his view, Fries is really just passing the ball.

But... Seeing that Li Yifan didn't step forward, Fries suddenly withdrew his hand that seemed to be passing the ball, and stood up easily and coherently. Under Li Yifan's surprise and depression, he scored another three-pointer!
"Damn it, you're pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!" Li Yifan thought depressingly as he ran forward.

On the other hand, Frith showed a smug smile on his face: "As the coach and Saint-Flo said, the defense of the Chinese is really bad. It's perfect for a breakthrough point!"I just played with you to warm up and beat you later!

In the next few attacks, the two sides had mutual offense and defense, but Argentina seemed to strengthen the offensive power at the point of shooting guard in a timely manner, and constantly replaced the manpower to attack at this position.It made Li Yifan a bit embarrassed, but luckily his scoring was able to cover up his flaws. When he scored the 9th point of the first quarter with free throws again, coach Jiang Tao found a dead ball and replaced him. Fatty Zhang came down at the same time.Anyway, there are only the last few offensive and defensive transitions left in the first quarter, so the main players can rest and replenish energy in time for the second quarter!

It was Jiang Dongyu and Heywood who replaced them. Now Huaxia fans can finally pull their hearts back a little in the tense game rhythm, take a long breath of relief and shake their muscles. Of course, those who are more "urgent" can also use this Time to go to the toilet.

The focus of commentators' comments has always been on Li Yifan. Now that Li Yifan has rested, they seem to have followed suit!The offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides on the field are simply a few words, anyway, the public who want to watch will watch it for themselves!
"In my heart, Li Yifan played well today. Especially in the offense, he gave full play to his vitality. So far, he has scored 5 points with 3 of 9 shots. Under his leadership, other teammates are also playing well now. A little lead can reflect their performance on the court." Commentator A's tone is that he is quite satisfied with Li Yifan.

"But don't you think he's not doing enough in defense?" Commentator B asked his own question.

Commentator A tilted his head and thought about it. Anyway, none of the commentators who watched Li Yifan play did not like Li Yifan, and he was no exception. He immediately began to excuse Li Yifan and said: "Actually, this problem has always been his heart disease. His defense has not gone through the system. It will take time for him to really become a defensive master! But in other words, his defense is not that weak. You didn’t see him steal once at the beginning. And under the attack of several opponents, he is still only A foul. In fact, the overall defensive performance of the entire youth training team is relatively good. For example, the opponent’s breakthrough is basically eliminated. Both maintain a 5-8 point lead!"

Li Yifan was sitting on the seat, covering his face with a towel, his whole body was sweating, and his chest was shaking up and down.

Coach Jiang Tao walked up to him and asked, "What happened to Li Yifan?"

Li Yifan put down the towel.He forced a smile and said, "No coach Jiang Tao."

"Don't lie to me." Coach Jiang Tao shook his head amusedly when he saw that Li Yifan was still dead. "Are you feeling tired?"

Li Yifan didn't speak but just laughed twice.

Coach Jiang Tao turned his head to look at the field and sighed: "Li Yifan, I know you're tired, hehe, go all out on offense. You must do your best in defense, and you can't be sloppy at all. I know it will consume a lot of energy for you...you I thought that if you don’t play like this for two quarters, you can survive for three quarters, maybe you can still persist, but do you still have the energy for the fourth quarter?”

Li Yifan stopped talking and sat quietly on his seat, thinking that just now he really tried his best to run and fight on the field.In the last round, he was chasing and intercepting with two or three people struggling to complete an attack and then immediately chasing and intercepting his opponent... If this continues... Li Yifan is really not very confident in his defense!
Coach Jiang Tao changed the positions on the field while dispatching troops, and at the same time did not let go of Li Yifan's current performance. Seeing that Li Yifan was thinking about it, he seemed to say nonchalantly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if your defense is not very good. You can take your time." Perfect. You have a lot of talent. It is not difficult for you to learn. But at this stage, you can only use one way to make up for it-haven't you heard that the best defense is offense? Use offensive restraint The opponent is also disintegrating the opponent's firepower...Li Yifan, don't you feel that you made too few breakthroughs in the first quarter?"

"That's right!" Li Yifan clapped his hands happily and almost jumped up, "Why didn't I think of it! They want to hit me? My breakthrough will definitely cause fouls of different degrees. As long as the opponent fouls too much, he will naturally have scruples and may even Go back to the bench!"

Coach Jiang Tao saw that Li Yifan had figured it out, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he nodded without saying a word, and devoted all his attention to the field.

The second quarter of the game has just started.Neither Li Yifan nor Long Xun played. Coach Jiang Tao asked them to continue to recover a little bit of physical strength. After all, they still have a 5-point lead.

Ma Feifei, who replaced Long Xun, did a good job in the few attacks just now. Coach Jiang Tao simply asked Long Xun to take a rest, but replaced him with Li Yifan to strengthen the attack.

"Come on!" He patted Li Yifan's shoulder lightly!

Li Yifan nodded, he was in danger and took orders. In the past few minutes, the opponent has brought the gap back to 3 points.

When they passed by St. Flo's side, the two smiled slightly to say hello.The relationship between the two of them has always been good, Li Yifan respects his righteousness, and San Flo is also optimistic about his future.

Now the lineup of the youth training team is more obvious. Fatty Zhang, Lu Weiben, and Zhao Tianbao, who replaced Wang Siyang, are all defensive players. Only Li Yifan and Jiang Dongyu have relatively strong offensive strength.Argentina's defensive center of gravity was adjusted immediately, and all eyes were swiped to look at Li Yifan.

Li Yifan quickly received the ball.Slowly patted him at the top of the arc and proudly looked at Fries in front of him with a look of disdain.That look clearly tells the other party: I'm ready to beat you!
The shoulders kept swinging the ball, like jumping notes, bouncing back and forth between his hands and the floor, creating beautiful music, and as his right foot took a step forward, the plain notes suddenly burst out into a stirring melody.The pitch became higher and higher as Li Yifan's forward momentum reached its apex—"Drip" the referee's whistle blew, "Blue No. 8 fouled and white No. 8 made three free throws!"

People who woke up from the melody saw only the remnants of the scene after the rain. The two No. 8s confronted and ended the home field again. The white and proud standing stood taller!

"I just want to tell you that you can't guard against me!" Li Yifan said softly as if talking to himself.But the face of Ferris, who was standing not far from him, turned blue involuntarily!
Just now, Li Yifan just used the sudden straight line to cause a foul by Fries' thug who followed the defense and got two free throws.

Missed the first free throw but made the second with ease.

When Fries passed by Li Yifan, he heard Li Yifan muttering to himself again unintentionally: "Breakthrough is like the two free throws just now. At least one of them can be hit twice. And if I make a breakthrough one of them, the opponent may still You will have to pay a terrible price!"

Frith seemed to falter a bit...

Li Yifan just slid and followed Fries just as he expected, and then Fries, who became furious, began to beat him forcefully.He spread his hands flat and didn't move at all, but used the speed of his feet to get stuck in his position until Frith's ball left his hands and didn't make much movement.And Fries also scored this goal!
Li Yifan didn't take it seriously and just smiled lightly: "If you're lucky, it won't be so easy next time!"

Ferris's eyes are all red...

Of course, the offense of the youth training team was carried out by Li Yifan. This time, Ferris' defense against him was even stricter, and he had no chance to break through in a straight line.He can only change lines continuously.Fries could only follow him and keep changing his defensive posture to see if he had enough of playing around. Li Yifan quickly took a step towards Fries's front. Fries immediately raised his chest and wanted to push Li Yifan back. Landed on Fries' body, turned around like a waltz, pulled the ball over, and immediately rushed into the inside, leaving a bright laugh and roaring away. He just wanted to leave Fries with an unstoppable force. The impression crushed Frith's psychological defenses.

Repeating the same trick, he wanted to make an easy layup, but a figure appearing under the basket caught him off guard.He didn't know how Horwood could jump so high that he could completely block his sight, and if the current situation continued, his shots would definitely be pinned by Horwood on the backboard!

Thinking of the fans of the youth training team who came to the home court to watch him play for the first time, thinking of the tens of thousands of Huaxia fans who are waiting in front of the TV with too many expectations for him, thinking of Jiang Dongyu who must be watching him obsessively at this time... …

This is absolutely not allowed!
In the blink of an eye, Li Yifan had adjusted his breathing, pulled back the ball that was about to be thrown, and avoided Horwood's hand. His physical strength burst out with the last energy, and his body, which was about to fall, suddenly stopped in the air like that.Everyone froze at that moment as if they were watching a video. They opened their eyes wide and looked at Li Yifan who was evading in the air.If it weren't for Horwood in front of him slowly falling down with that strange look in his eyes, this would be a completely undamaged still pattern... Even Coach Jiang Tao on the sidelines was stunned!
Waited until it was about to fall, then lifted the ball up from the neck again, and quickly released the ball. The ball drew a beautiful arc amidst the exclamation of the audience. Feel very pleasant "brush" sound!

The applause rang out again, Li Yifan's action just now was so beautiful that everyone couldn't believe their eyes.Such a magic show may be seen all over the world but not everyone has the opportunity to see it!For this, the fans can't be stingy with their applause!

"It's so beautiful!" Commentator A exclaimed excitedly, "This ball is definitely world-class. What a good physical condition! What a good physical quality!"

Like all Huaxia fans, Jiang Dongyu also called out, besides applauding Li Yifan, she was full of pride and pride in her heart!You see, this is my man, a man who shocked the whole world!

"Can Li Yifan stay in the air for so long?" Zhou Qing who was not far away asked Li Yifan who was holding her!
"That's called staying in the air!"

"Do you need physical strength?"

"This...I don't know...it should be!"

"Then he has great physical strength!"

"My physical strength is also good!"

"I do not know how?"

"While in bed..."

"..."

Commentator A is continuing his ** broadcast.

"Argentina's No. 8 Fries seems to want to compare with Li Yifan, and he is trying to beat Li Yifan...he didn't score. Hehe, his shooting is a little bit reluctant!...Li Yifan's pass...Oh, the cross pass is more dangerous, especially Such a tall Li Yifan is not good enough at this point, he should fight by himself! ... Still not alone enough!"

.......
When the ball went out of bounds, Jiang Dongyu, who replaced Lu Weiben, received an internal pass from Fatty Zhang and scored the ball with an easy layup.

Fries really competed with Li Yifan, completely ignoring Horwood, who was already stuck in position for the ball, and San Flo, who was anxious on the outside, and kept relying on Li Yifan to hit inside.He has been irritated by Li Yifan's gossip from time to time, his blood red eyes can't hold anything else, but there is a voice in his heart shouting: beat him, beat this person who humiliated you!
He leaned on Li Yifan and rushed in. Li Yifan followed him back like the previous few times, and even used some strength to carry him a few times. He leaned on Li Yifan and rushed into the inside with all his strength.If he wants to make a shot, he must have a shot to have a chance to score, and he will have more chances of causing opponents to foul!
Just when he started the three steps, he felt that the resistance of Li Yifan in front had decreased a lot, and he was slowly sliding to the side. His head rested on Li Yifan's chest and neck, and he couldn't see Li Yifan's face.But he believed that Li Yifan couldn't handle it and he finally slowed down!Damn I must make you ashamed of your own defense!
Li Yifan's body was completely turned to the side, and his front was already flat, and his three-step layup was already on the string!Jumping high and relaxed, he raised his right hand and gracefully threw the ball in his hand down. He showed a satisfied smile. He had already prepared the words to return all the grievances he suffered just now to that Chinese man... Well, it should be used Which dirty word starts with it?

"Shit." Soon he spit out this word, not because he thought of starting with this word, but because he saw a scene that he didn't want to see - Fatty Zhang suddenly appeared under the basket, soared into the air, waved the ball with his hand, and was obediently beaten He pressed on the backboard and then fell down easily. Jiang Dongyu picked up the backboard without any hesitation and quickly put the ball into the hands of Li Yifan who was starting. Feeling overwhelmed and ashamed, he rushed up quickly just in time for Li Yifan to pull the ball and turn around to pass Turkoglu. In desperation, Ferris stretched out his hand——

"drop"

Fries has been fouled three times already, he is heartbroken, he sees a player on the bench standing up quickly, he also consciously begins to walk off the court, Li Yifan seems to be approaching him inadvertently, only he can hear clearly Then he sneered and said: "When you were arrogant just now, did you think about the current result... You can see clearly! There can only be one No. 8 on this field! That is me——Li Yifan!"

Frith couldn't bear this anger anymore. The shame and resentment in his heart made him lose his sense of proportion for a moment. His already red eyes showed a hint of murderousness, and he suddenly turned around and pushed Li Yifan when no one was on guard. .

Li Yifan was caught off guard by Frith's hands and pushed between his collarbone and throat, holding his breath and staggered back a few steps until he leaned against Jiang Dongyu's body before he stopped.

He has never been so angry since he was a child. In his words, he can't lose face in a fight or lose face in a game.Think about this game being his first home debut, think about how many Chinese audiences are still looking at him eagerly in front of the TV, think about how proud Frith is in the first quarter-Li Yifan can't control himself, maybe he It never occurred to me to control my hands and back to support Jiang Dongyu with strength and stride forward. Fries, who wanted to step forward and push himself, hit his right hand like lightning before the opponent had time to react. Belly of Frith.

Fries felt a sharp pain in his chest as if thousands of horses were galloping, his eyes suddenly felt a moment of darkness, and with the sweat dripping from his forehead, he stopped involuntarily, clutching his stomach in pain and trying to squat down Fortunately, at this time, his teammate Kimberly arrived in time to support his waist so that he didn't really look like a shrimp!

Li Yifan was also hugged by Jiang Dongyu behind him. He struggled hard a few times but couldn't break free. Angry, he led Jiang Dongyu forward like a tiger.His ferocity made Fries, who recovered from the pain, feel a burst of fear. He was dazzled by anger and shame just now. Li Yifan's words hurt one's self-esteem, otherwise he wouldn't dare to borrow his courage. He rashly took the lead in beating someone on the court!

There are a lot of people who fight on the spur of the moment and then are just afraid that Ferris is one of those people.And there is another kind of person who never cares about the consequences when fighting, just knows whether to fight or not, let's fight first!Seeing Li Yifan's red eyes and ferocious face.Frith began to feel guilty. It was obvious that Li Yifan was this kind of person!Unconsciously recovering from the punch just now, he didn't need others to drag him back consciously.

Li Yifan's approach was quickly stopped because two fat men stood in front of him.Fatty Zhang hugged his arms from the side, while San Flo stood in front of him with his arms crossed, obviously wanting to protect his teammates again!
"Don't be impulsive, this game is live broadcast!" Fatty Zhang hurriedly whispered in Li Yifan's ear when he saw that Li Yifan was still impulsive.

Sure enough, Li Yifan immediately calmed down.Think about whether the punch just now was too heavy. If you were sent off for this punch, it wouldn't be worth it. If you knew it, you shouldn't have punched that punch just now... Pushing and shoving like him will get you a technical foul at most!
Thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind.Seeing that he seemed to have calmed down, the people around him slowly let go of his body.

Several referees were discussing the punishment for the two of them and decided to see what kind of big decision they seemed to have with their soft-spoken, heavy-faced faces.

At this moment, Li Yifan suddenly moved forward a few steps, scaring his teammates to drag him back.The opponent's players stood in a row in front of Fries, although Fries had been pulled to the sidelines at this time.

Li Yifan raised his hand to signal his teammates not to be nervous. He walked towards the similarly nervous referees and said in a very calm and slightly apologetic tone: "I'm sorry that I made an unforgivable mistake on impulse just now. It has brought you a lot of trouble in law enforcement." Please, I am deeply sorry for this. I will obey any punishment from you!"

His tone was very sincere, and his expression, coupled with his neither arrogant nor humble attitude, seemed very sincere.Immediately, he restored his image among the referees and nodded when the referee looked at him.

The referee on the field finally made a statement. First, he directly sent Fries, who had made the first move, off the field. Fries, who had no expression on his face amidst the boos, took his towel and left the passage in a dejected manner.

While many people were nervous, the referee then called Li Yifan a technical foul. Many people, including Li Yifan, felt relieved. To be honest, it was definitely not wrong to be sent off for that punch just now.The referee was really merciful in punishing his subordinates this time!
All the fans, especially those from Jiangcheng who had expected Li Yifan's prestige for a long time, gave Li Yifan warm applause. They like bloody people and don't want to see the team leader is a timid softie.Although Li Yifan's behavior just now was a bit too aggressive, it's better than not fighting back!At the same time, the applause was also given to the referees, thanking them for saving some kindness in their own territory!

Li Yifan was replaced in this conflict. Coach Jiang Tao didn't know what to say to Li Yifan. A minute ago, I wanted to praise him loudly. I just gave him a few pointers and he understood it. It was even perfect. The envisioned plan was realized, but in the next minute when the situation changed suddenly, the mood of Li Yifan and himself can only be described as soul-stirring!

I have always admired Li Yifan's impulsiveness. Ever since the qualifiers, I have liked his ruthlessness in fighting.At that time, I described it as bloody and unyielding spirit.But now as Li Yifan's coach, I realize that I appreciate and worry about being able to switch in an instant. You must know that the opponent who is sent off is at most an ordinary first player, and once Li Yifan is sent off, his team will lose an absolute core!Anyway, Li Yifan can't be punished, so take it easy in the future!
