whirlwind basketball

Chapter 214 Youth Competition (31)

The Canadian coach called a timeout again. They were pressed and turned around for the entire second half. Seeing that the advantage in the first half was only two points at once, and Fatty Zhang had only one point before he made a free throw.

"We must succeed in this attack. If we fail to succeed, we will be passive." The head coach of Canada has a serious expression on his face. He is very clear about the importance of this game. This is a key battle for the championship seat.

"If we can only win this game but not lose, not only my position will not be kept, but most of you will also face purge. Once the emperor and the courtiers, I believe everyone must be very clear...we can't go inside again. That's what we do There is very little chance of scoring. We can only make long-range shots from the outside, everyone, remember to run through and create for your teammates if you have no gaps, you know? It must be successful."

"We must win." The Canadian players shouted in unison.

"Defend the opponent's three-pointer." Wang Tao said the key point at once.

After re-entering the court, Fatty Zhang made a free throw and the score difference between the two sides was only one point.

The atmosphere is very tense, one side is swearing to the death to get points and the other is desperately defending the city.Both sides used all their energy to run and push on the court.

Kemp held the ball and faced Li Yifan thinking about what the coach said to him

"You are a very promising young man. Your future will definitely be in the NBA. If you don't even have the courage to face him, what is the use of you?"

"I must defeat you." He suddenly shouted nervously, "because the victory belongs to me."

Li Yifan couldn't understand what he said and cursed inwardly that he was sick.

At this time, Kemp had already started to charge towards Li Yifan's right. Li Yifan quickly pressed his chest against Kemp's body, and at the same time added a little movement with his hands.

In fact, it is very common to make small moves when defending. It just depends on how you do it. Whether the referee can see it or not will give you a penalty!

Kemp suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped his body.Who is Li Yifan!His reaction was faster than Kemp's, and he had already pulled back the momentum of the retreat. When Kemp's center of gravity had just been adjusted, he had already reposted it.

Suddenly Li Yifan saw Kemp's erratic eyes looking to the side, he was startled and shouted loudly: "Jiang Dongyu prevent your own people from coming in."

It turned out that when Jiang Dongyu saw them entangled in the interior, he unconsciously moved his body to the interior and missed Thomas, who was defending himself.

Camp laughed. This Chinese man is so smart, but it was too late.With a flick of his wrist the ball was flying towards Thomas.

"Want to shoot? It's not that easy."

Li Yifan had already made up for it while speaking. Thomas had no chance to shoot after receiving the ball, but he never thought about shooting. His action was to pass the ball to Della, who was leaked by Li Yifan.

Li Yifan finally understood that the opponent's sudden, pass, and points were all to create opportunities for Della, and it was Della who they arranged to execute the final blow.

Too careless, Li Yifan had no time to regret it, and rushed towards Della, but the distance was too far, and when he threw himself, Della in front of him still maintained his shooting position.

From the exclamation of the Huaxia fans and the cheers of the Canadian fans, he knew that the goal must have gone into the killer, and the killer was not soft at the critical moment.The game has been stretched to four points again, and the road to victory seems to be a little further away from me!
The Huaxia fans fell silent for four points, with less than 2 minutes left. Could it be that what they have to face this time is still failure, and they still need to silently wipe away the tears of disappointment?

Jiang Dongyu doesn't know basketball, but he can read scores and time.She clasped her hands with ten fingers: "God! Bless him!"

The same action happened in the distant China at the same time...

"Call Fatty Zhang." Wang Tao only had a few simple words.

At the same time, the opponent's tactical arrangement is: "Prevent Fatty Zhang and keep an eye on Li Yifan."

Li Yifan didn't have much objection to Wang Tao's tactical arrangement. After all, Fatty Zhang performed very well just now, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. For the first time, the first time the coach arranged the final attack focus was not him!
But on the court, he realized that Fatty Zhang couldn't catch the ball like this. He was completely suppressed by Marbury.He looked at the time on the chronograph and suddenly said to Li Yifan who was running past him: "Help me pick and roll and trust me."

Li Yifan stared blankly at Fatty Zhang's position, wondering what he was thinking!But Li Yifan didn't give him much time, and he had already started to rush past him.

Kemp wanted to follow, but Li Yifan subconsciously stood still and blocked him. Although he was prepared, he went around and was not blocked, but there was always a delay.

Now the inside players in Canada have to face a difficult choice, whether to let Fatty Zhang make up for Li Yifan or prevent Fatty Zhang from ignoring Li Yifan!
Li Yifan still didn't give them time to think, he had already jumped up, Della gritted his teeth and rushed over with a big hand.

Li Yifan, who was in the air, showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, so can he guard against me?
However, his shooting angle has indeed been completely blocked and there are no passing lanes around him.

Narrator A has already screamed in the broadcast hall, and his heart is crying: "It's over, everything is over."

Li Yifan suddenly withdrew his raised hand and didn't shoot, but he didn't choose to pass either.He did something no one expected -- he threw the ball under Della's arm.

The ball hit Della's arm and flew down to the ground. At this time, Li Yifan's feet had landed on his toes, and he took a lunge to catch the falling ball. Before everyone could react, he had already rushed to the basket and made it to the basket. Marbury, who got off, hadn't recovered from the situation just now, and his arms and legs were entangled with Fatty Zhang, so he could only watch Li Yifan fly up.With a dunk with both hands, he grabbed the basket and pulled a few times, raising his legs high.

Li Yifan was very excited when he landed, really excited, he imitated Jiang Dongyu's movements and kept beating his chest with both hands.Did Wang Tao see it?I can still score at critical moments! !

The youth training team chased to two points with 58 seconds left.

The audience didn't react much because they were stunned. Was Li Yifan's action just impromptu?Or premeditated?It is so beautiful.

"Is this true?" Many viewers murmured.

"It's normal for everything to happen to Li Yifan, he's a monster." Jackson woke up after being excited for a moment, he's used to Li Yifan's performance.

Only Jiang Dongyu was sober, she just knew that Li Yifan scored a goal and clapped her hands happily for him.

Her applause woke up a group of people, not all of them, everyone woke up like a dream.The applause lasted forever.Li Yifan's performance really drove them crazy.

If the audience in front of the TV is awake now, they will definitely find that they haven’t heard the voice of the commentator A for a long time, because he is almost in shock at this time I can't bear it at all. I have already got up and walked out of the studio to get some fresh air. He didn't dare to watch the last few tens of seconds. Let them beat his old life.To TV viewers, just say that there is a problem with the sound equipment of the relay system.

He really didn't have the guts to watch it. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if the youth training team lost in the end and he fell from heaven again.

Canada, on the other hand, used their last timeout to set up an offense. This is a key offense. Now both sides have only one offense under normal circumstances. No one can afford to lose!
"It's still arranged just now, you must increase your running positions and you must run in a wide range, because the opponent will definitely be on guard."

Kemp, Della and others all had serious expressions on their faces.

Relatively speaking, the bench of the youth training team was relaxed, and everyone was cheering for Li Yifan's magical stroke just now. At this moment, no matter whether they have a good relationship with Li Yifan or not, they have to admit that the ball is really unforgettable.

Wang Tao took no time to pour a bucket of cold water on them: "What's there to be proud of? If you don't know what you look like, you must think you are ahead. Do a good job of defense first, and then be happy!"

Everyone calmed down and quietly gathered together to listen to Wang Tao's arrangement for Li Yifan.

The Canadian players obviously felt that the morale of the Huaxia players who had returned to the field was high and murderous. The ball just now greatly increased their morale.

Since they are ahead of the Canadian team, they are not in a hurry to attack. What they want is to completely consume the time of this attack, and because the youth training team still has another chance to attack, they are not in a hurry to force Canada to take a shot.All they want is to defend the ball.

On the huge display on the wall of the gymnasium, the red Huaxia 64: Canada 66 is crushing like a giant beast, making people breathless!
Finally, with ten seconds left in this attack, Kemp moved, but just as he broke through, there was an extra wall blocking his way.At first glance, it turned out to be Li Yifan. Li Yifan looked much more peaceful than before. The sneer on his face had disappeared and was replaced by a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. In fact, only those who know Li Yifan know that Li Yifan with a faint smile is the most terrifying and calm person. People startled.

Camp leaned on Li Yifan and turned around to try to break through from the other side, but he saw Li Yifan's handsome face again.

With only 6 seconds left, he had no time to break through. He quickly passed the ball across to Thomas at a 45-degree angle on the left.People who understand basketball should know that such a cross pass is the most dangerous pass, and the most taboo pass is such a pass.

Ma Feifei has already seen his passing line. He rushed from the halfway to the ball amidst the cheers of the Huaxia fans.
"Ma Feifei rushed out from the [-]th position. He has already judged the passing route of the ball. The youth training team stole the ball!" The voice of the commentator A came from the TV. He still couldn't help but come back to watch the game. For the heart of basketball I don't care about that thing.

Wang Tao also showed a happy expression on his face, but——

Ma Feifei just rubbed the ball with his fingertips and then floated upwards.Still flew to Thomas.

Seeing this, Jiang Dongyu rushed over and jumped at the same time as Thomas, trying to catch the ball from the air!
At this time, the weakness of Huaxia players' poor jumping ability was exposed. In terms of height, Jiang Dongyu was three or four centimeters taller than Thomas, and he jumped up with momentum.He should have jumped higher than the opponent, but in fact, his fingertips just touched the ball while the opponent hugged tightly.

As soon as Thomas hit the ground, he slapped the ball and moved sideways one step at a time, avoiding Jiang Dongyu's wildly waving hands, and opened his hands to shoot. At this time, both he and the Canadian players heard a bell that they least wanted to hear.

The referee ran to the technical table and gestured: the Canadian team violated the youth training team's possession of the ball in 24 seconds.

The whole gymnasium was boiling, but they couldn't scream anymore, their voices were hoarse, and they just continued to pat their red and swollen palms.

The players of the youth training team were also so excited that everyone hugged together as if they had already won.

Fatty Zhang also walked towards Li Yifan and the two looked at each other for a while, then stretched out their right hands and clapped them in the air, held them tightly together, and then laughed loudly.

"What are you laughing at?" Wang Tao yelled off the court, "I've called a timeout and can't come down to set up tactics and wait for the referee to call you a technical foul!"

"Oh." Fatty Zhang and Li Yifan hurried down, and everyone was waiting for them because everyone knew that the core of this attack was that there was only one of them.

Wang Tao didn't know what to say, because usually the defenders play the last attack at this time, but he always told everyone when arranging the tactics that at this time, Fatty Zhang must fight Fatty Zhang.It's really difficult now.

Seeing that Wang Tao didn't speak, everyone knew what he was thinking, and he looked at Fatty Zhang and Li Yifan. Fatty Zhang really wanted to play this offense, because playing key shots can reflect the value of a player, but he was very gracious and didn't say it.

"Let me make the last attack." Li Yifan said resolutely, "I want to firmly control the right to make the last attack."

"In that case! Then you go!" Coach Wang Tao also smiled.

Commentator A didn’t expect that his “comeback” still frightened his heart. First, Ma Feifei seemed to be about to steal the ball, which made him very happy, and then he was disappointed that the ball didn’t break. When Jiang Dongyu jumped up, he was looking forward to Thomas’s shot. Sometimes I was almost desperate, but the referee's whistle made me ecstatic.In just a few tens of seconds, I have so many tastes and my heart can keep it for a few years! !

Thinking about it, he still said in a hoarse voice: "The youth training team is on the field, and the timeout time has expired. There are 22 seconds left before the end of the game. The ball is in the hands of the youth training team, and they are still two points behind. How to choose the club? Is it a two-point insurance tie or a three-point victory? Really looking forward to it! We wish the youth training team good luck... The ball came out or Li Yifan controlled the ball. This game gave him plenty of playing time And he also gave everyone a very good performance. From this game, I saw his shadow in the final of the budget match. He is a fighter who will never give up and never give up. Is he playing this ball or Fatty Zhang? What? No matter who hits, I hope that they can score and not disappoint the audience present and the audience in front of our TV."

Li Yifan stood straight at the top of the arc, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more coquettish.He didn't look at the time or at the defender, just watched the ball bouncing back and forth between his hands and the ground without blinking.

Kemp didn't dare to be negligent, set up a defensive stance, and kept his weight on his waist so that he could respond in a timely manner to Li Yifan's breakthrough or shooting.

Li Yifan's eyes left the ball and pierced Kemp like sharp arrows.

"It is now."

He started to move, and he used all his strength from the first step. Everyone saw a red shadow rushing towards Kemp. A body rushed into his "embrace" but there was no physical contact. The red figure had already turned around like a spinning top and walked inward.He was very frustrated that he had been preparing for so long but there was nothing he could do about his breakthrough. He really wanted to just pull Li Yifan's hand like this, but he remembered what the coach said to let them break through and don't foul, so he stopped: Is there a gap between us? Is it that big? !

Della has already jumped out. His task is to interfere with Li Yifan's shooting and never foul. If Li Yifan can make it, there is no way!In a word: let two points not give up three points.

Marbury still clung around in front of Fatty Zhang and held Fatty Zhang with both hands, resolutely preventing Fatty Zhang from taking over.

.......
Li Yifan pulled him and said, "Thank you for believing in me."

Knowing that he was talking about the pick-and-roll just now, Jiang Dongyu smiled and said: "It's nothing, actually, the big fat guy just now has no chance. If I don't help our point guard find opportunities for the pick-and-roll, then what should I do!?"

Li Yifan smiled and said: "No matter what, thank you for believing in me, you have to remember that I also believe in you..."

……

Just when he thought about it, the ball was already in his hand, and he heard Jiang Dongyu's loud voice again: "I believe in you."

"Trust me?"

"This ball," he shouted loudly, his eyes were a little red, his neck was also a little bruised, but his hand was still raised smoothly, and he threw the ball with a standard left hand, ignoring Thomas, who was rushing forward, and kicked lightly with his feet. He jumped up and when he reached the highest point, he pushed the ball with his right hand and shouted, "Go, take my dream and take the ball of my youth." Looking at the ball flying towards the basket in an arc, he thought in his heart Cried: You must enter!

He cried: "Let us go and fulfill him."

The ball entered with his roar, and the audience was boiling; the whole of China was boiling.He could no longer hear what the audience was yelling, and he couldn't hear the referee blowing the whistle to announce the youth team's 67:66 victory.

His resolute face was already full of tears. He succeeded and made a big reversal.The ups and downs of these games made this veteran unable to control his emotions. He just stood there blankly and saw one teammate after another pounced on him.What is he thinking in his heart?Blank!He no longer knew how to react!

It was only when his teammates pressed him down that he came back to his senses and cried, "We won, we won."

Commentator A couldn't control his excitement and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "We won, the youth team won, we made a big comeback and beat the Canadian team by one point, thus knocking out Canada. Here's wishing our lads Good luck to you..."

At this time, the scene was already out of control, and many Huaxia fans jumped down to celebrate the victory with the players and celebrate entering the championship.

The stadium had to use security again to clear them out and it was very chaotic.

In this chaotic scene, the CCTV reporters managed to catch Fatty Zhang. This is also due to the fact that Fatty Zhang's target is too conspicuous.

The reporter first said: "Thank you in advance for winning and entering the championship."

Fatty Zhang said excitedly, "Thank you." His eyes were narrowed. "Our victory also belongs to you, and it belongs to the entire Chinese people."

"Who do you think is the biggest contributor to today's game?"

The biggest hero!Fatty Zhang's heart moved and he turned his head to look for Long Xun on the left. They were pressing down on Li Yifan. Behind him, Wang Tao and several members of the coaching staff were surrounded by reporters.

"It's Li Yifan!"

"Our champion player, Li Yifan!"

The audience cheered.

It was also at this time that coach Wang Tao fell down again. He had relapsed from his old illness after trying to adjust these cowhide eggs in the past few days.

"Li Yifan, when I'm not around, you are the coach, you must grasp the overall situation."

This is the coach's order before leaving.

No one knows Li Yifan's suffering, nor his suffering.

While training the team, he learned relevant knowledge, trying to find a way to deal with the US team in the game that day.

The weather was exceptionally sunny.Li Yifan went out, strolled around, and adjusted his mood.

The American basketball atmosphere is very strong, so there are basketball courts everywhere.

When passing by a basketball court, Li Yifan saw a bullfight match. After understanding, the two people on the opposite side were named Butch and Johnson.Li Yifan was curious, so he stood there and watched.

A street bullfight is about to begin.

Butch took Johnson's basketball with his long, thin fingers.He skillfully spun a few times on his fingertips, then walked to the free throw line, bent his knees, took a deep breath, stared at the basket for a long time, and shot the basketball.

The basketball jumped a few times on the hoop and finally got in.

"Okyoufirst!" Johnson threw the ball to Butch with a big wave.

Butch smiled and walked to the three-point line and started dribbling.His dribbling posture is obviously different from that of the Huaxia people. The center of gravity is low and the dribbling point is low. From his movements, it can be seen that Butch's dribbling skills are really good. Li Yifan couldn't help but admire secretly.But in front of the tall and burly Johnson, Butch is like a little peacock. Can this kind of dribbling skills work?

Butch was doing a crossover beautifully, and suddenly he swung his right hand up and the ball glided down and skimmed the ground, and changed to his left hand in a big way!This is a typical hand-changing action in streetball, and the effect is first-rate.Sure enough, Butch immediately passed Johnson with the ball and rushed to the basket!
Seeing this Li Yifan shook his head.Although Butch's swaying was successful, the follow-up action was too muddy and slow, not to mention slow and not ready to attack the basket.

Sure enough, after Butch passed Johnson, he didn't seem to know how to get the ball into the basket. It was a small throw with two steps and one stride.This kind of throwing is often used by small people to get into the vicinity of the penalty area. It is a last resort to avoid the opponent's inside block. It requires a very good hand feeling. It is quite difficult to practice and the shooting rate is very limited. The average player is not a last resort. It won't work.

With a bang, the basketball hit the edge of the basket and jumped up. Butch was about to get up and jump up. Johnson suddenly pressed over and almost knocked Butch out of the court!He grabbed the backboard and arched his butt insultingly, causing a group of black people next to him to laugh out loud.
