Chapter 65 The Finals (8)

I don't know if it was because of the last game.There were so many people, they heard wolf-like shouts before they entered the door.

"It's so lively!" Li Yifan couldn't help saying.

"Let's go! Change clothes! Prepare for the game." Zhang Yu said.

Everyone nodded and walked into the locker room collectively.

When they entered the locker room, they suddenly found Coach Xiangfeng standing in front of them with his hands behind his back. Although his face was haggard, the approval in his eyes was self-evident.

"Coach!" Everyone burst into tears, choked up and speechless.

"Everything is well done!" Coach Xiangfeng nodded. "Give me all the preparations, let's meet the last game!"

"Yes!" Everyone went to get ready.

Three minutes later, when they came out, Liu Tieniu found out that Coach Xiangfeng had been discharged from the hospital, and a war shot at Coach Xiangfeng in his eyes. Coach Xiangfeng just smiled and did nothing.

"Hehe! It's useless even if you come back, we're sure to win this game." Liu Tieniu looked at the strange man in the team and said in his heart.

Coach Xiangfeng announced the list of players on the field.

"Players are center Zhang Yu, power forward Tong Haifeng, small forward Ah Hui, point guard Ah Hu..."

There is still no Li Yifan in the starting lineup.

Baizhou High School starting lineup: point guard: Yue Qun, shooting guard Zu Long, small forward Luo Yaozhu, power forward Ma Haoran, center Shen Jiaqi.

The game is about to start.

On the side of the court, there are many cameras, which were called by the organizing committee.Now everyone is aiming at the field, for fear of missing one.

At this moment, Coach Xiangfeng asked Li Yifan to sit down beside him.

On the court, players from both sides stand in position and prepare to start.

"Flute!" The referee whistled, and the ball jumped!

The jumpers on both sides are Zhang Yu and Shen Jiaqi.

Two people in the air touched the basketball at the same time, the basketball was pushed out and Ah Hui grabbed the ball.

In Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School's offense, the Baizhou High School team quickly returned to defense and had no chance to break fast.Ah Hu calmly controlled the ball, Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School quickly moved to respond, the basketball was quickly passed from Ah Hu's hands and then passed the ball quickly, the players actively screened each other, and Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School actively looked for opportunities to attack .

The Baizhou High School team adopts a man-to-man defense, constantly launching an oppressive defense against the Jiangcheng No. [-] middle school players who hold the ball, and strives to push the ball-handling players to the sideline or the bottom line.

The competition was fierce, and the Jiangcheng No. [-] middle school member on the field, Li Yifan and other substitute players who were watching the game off the field soon saw any difference between the opponents in front of them and the opponents they had encountered in the past.The opponent's defense is very urgent, they meet each other to help defend, and the replacement is very fast.Ahu, who is best at breakthroughs in Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School, failed to achieve any breakthroughs several times because of the players who quickly assisted in the defense.

Although the opponent's defense is tight, Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School is not incompetent. Basketball is not football, and no matter how good the defense is, it cannot completely contain the opponent's attack.Passing the ball, breaking the pawn... The offensive routine that Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School has practiced many times is now in full play.The basketball was passed to Ah Hui, and he raised his hand to shoot, "Shua!"Ah Hui's hands were very hot today, and he missed several shots.

The offense and defense were switched, and it was the Baizhou High School team's turn to attack.Li Yifan on the sidelines stared closely at the game on the field.

The area defense adopted by Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School.When the Baizhou High School team was attacking, the five players kept moving quickly, aggressively and quickly cutting in, guiding the ball, picking up picks, and covering, and getting shot opportunities again and again.The five players on the Baizhou High School team seemed to be excellent shooters, "swish, swish..." time after time, they sent the basketball into the basket of Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yu, Ahui and Ahu, Jiangcheng No. 23 Middle School fought bravely for the first place. At the end of the first quarter, the two sides were almost tied at 25:[-].During the period, coach Xiangfeng made several substitutions and paused to challenge tactics, all of which had immediate results.The audience and fans of Baizhou High School in the arena have also initially seen the profound art of coach Xiangfeng, the head coach on the spot.

"With Coach Xiangfeng here, Jiangcheng is indeed a different team."

This is the evaluation of coach Xiangfeng by the people off the field.

However, what puzzled many people was that Li Yifan didn't play at all in the first quarter.

The second quarter begins.

Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School took the lead in speeding up the pace of the game after getting instructions from Xiangfeng Coach. Ahu made a quick breakthrough, and Ah Hui frequently played for his teammates. Zhang Yu was the strongest player in Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School. According to the tactical arrangement, as long as there is a gap, Ahu's pass will be passed to him in the first time.

Under the training of Coach Xiangfeng, Zhang Yu seems to have made a further breakthrough in how to use his talent. into the basket.

With his back to the basket to catch the ball, Zhang Yu turned around and shot decisively, "Shua!" The basketball entered the basket again!
"Flute!" The Baizhou High School team called a timeout.The tactics of Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School on the field are already very obvious. With Zhang Yu on the inside as the core of the tactics, he will attack the inside.Although the center of the Baizhou High School team is good, it is obviously inferior in strength, and Zhang Yu succeeded in singles several times.Adjusting tactics at this time is a matter of course.

After the timeout, the game restarts.The Baizhou High School team adjusted their tactics and put the strange player up.

"Since you still don't let Li Yifan go, then I'll let him go on Xue Dingshan. Hmph, let me see if you're in a hurry."

Coach Liu Tieniu thought in his heart.

"Wait, referee! Cough..." Coach Baizhou saw that something was wrong and said immediately.

"What's the matter?" The referee still respected the coach very much.

"Is this person from Baizhou?"

The referee just nodded, indicating that there is such a person!

"Okay!" Coach Xiangfeng sat down.watching the game.

With this substitution, it was obvious that Baizhou High School's defense was effective. When Zhang Yu got the ball, the opponent's two inside players double-teamed him so that he had no chance.The double team also effectively blocked Zhang Yu's passing route.

"Crack!" The ball was passed out, and Tong Haifeng was the one who caught the ball in a timely manner to support him. The position where he caught the ball was the half-block area near the penalty area, which was unguarded. Tong Haifeng raised his hand to shoot, "Shua!" The basketball crashed into the basket.

Tong Haifeng is a very good power forward. Shooting from this position is his best scoring method.

The Baizhou High School team adjusted their tactics, and Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School immediately confronted each other, and the two teams were very stalemate.But there are still some people who are dissatisfied with him - those who expect Li Yifan to play.Until now, Coach Xiangfeng has no intention of letting Li Yifan play.

"Coach!" Li Yifan was a little anxious.

"Don't worry!" Coach Xiangfeng just smiled.There is no intention of letting him play.

On the field, after the Baizhou High School team adjusted their tactics, Zhang Yu's chances to score suddenly decreased a lot, but Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School's offense was still sharp.Zhang Yu relies on his huge body to stand in the interior, and can distribute the ball in all directions after receiving the ball.The other four players on the field are absolutely good shooters.Fai, in particular, is a leading scorer who can shoot from any position.The personal strength of Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School players may not be as good as that of their opponents, but they have a solid foundation for shooting baskets one by one.When the opportunity arises, it is not difficult for them to send the basketball to the basket.

Ahu's offensive passing organization, Zhang Yu's inside distribution and splitting, Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School is showing a strong offensive power.Ah Hui and Tong Haifeng can always send the basketball into the basket comfortably.

Throughout the second quarter, Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School continued to maintain this evenly matched situation with their opponents.

Relying on the outstanding performance of Ah Hu and Zhang Yu, Jiangcheng No. 53 Middle School and their opponents once again tied, 53:[-], and the first half ended.

With [-] points in the half, this is the first time Jiangcheng has scored such a high score in the Champions Cup.

Soon the second half began again.At this time, Li Yifan can finally play.
In the first half, a hidden main force was played and the game was tied. This is absolutely unacceptable for the Baizhou High School team. At the beginning of the second half, the players of the Baizhou High School team seemed to wake up all of a sudden. Half of Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School.Breaking through the ball, splitting the screen, and cooperating exquisitely, the players of the Baizhou High School team showed others with their performance that they are not only juggling personal skills.

In the second half, the point guard changed to that guy, Xue Dingshan. Xue Dingshan was in charge of the offense of the entire Baizhou High School team. After returning to the court in the second half, he immediately showed that he was in this position as a point guard. Unparalleled strength.The Baizhou High School team has never lacked players with outstanding personal strength. In fact, every player on the field is not inferior to the Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School players in their respective positions.And once the strengths of these players are integrated, it will definitely be a terrifying thing for all opponents.Xue Dingshan undoubtedly achieved this.His speed is fast and his movements are unusually flexible.Li Yifan, who was defending him, couldn't stop his breakthrough at all.Breaking through disrupts the defense of Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School; once his teammates are open, he will never be late in passing; he can shoot from a long distance from beyond the three-point line, and he has demonstrated the qualities necessary for an excellent point guard. Can be picky.

After Li Yifan was broken by him several times on the court, Ah Hui consciously assisted Li Yifan to double-team him, but Xue Dingshan was always able to pass the basketball out of the double-team.The other four members of the Baizhou High School team weren't stupid. Isn't it easy and simple for four-on-three and four high scorers to send the basketball into the basket?

Moreover, led by him, the Baizhou High School team's offensive rhythm suddenly accelerated.The five Baizhou High School players on the field all have very strong offensive capabilities, and the fast-paced game makes it difficult for Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School to find the focus of defense.

What the Baizhou High School team changed was not only their offensive rhythm, but also their defense with a 2-3 mixed zone defense. The 2-3 combination is a defensive system that combines zone defense and man-to-man defense. It is a tactic that combines the advantages of the two defenses.When Li Yifan was holding the ball, Xue Dingshan and another guard from the Baizhou High School team double-teamed him and blocked Li Yifan's pass to the inside Zhang Yu.When the ball was passed to Zhang Yu or Tong Haifeng and Ahui on the inside, the Baizhou High School team's double-team inside made it impossible for them to attack.The ball was passed to the outside, and the Baizhou High School team, which resumed man-to-man defense, did not allow Jiangcheng Yizhong's outside shooters to have an easy chance to score.

The situation of the game took a turn for the worse, and the Baizhou High School team quickly played a 10-0 climax to open the score between the two sides.

Coach Xiangfeng called a timeout.Adjusting tactics at this time is a matter of course.

For the situation on the court, coach Xiangfeng has a clear view of the situation.

Obviously, Yue Qun is the engine of the Baizhou High School team's offense. His speed is extremely fast and his breakthrough is sharp. Those who defend him must be able to keep up with his breakthrough.

The Baizhou High School team's defense is a 2-3 mixed zone defense. Although this defense combines the advantages of zone defense and man-marking, it can maintain strong pressure on the opponent's ball-handler, but the triangle position will leave a lot of space for the bottom line .To deal with this kind of defense, there are usually three ways: place an excellent three-point shooter in their zone, have an inside player who is good at passing in their zone, and add a player who is good at passing to make the basketball fast. The pass to the opponent's baseline space.

Combining the elements of offense and defense, Li Yifan is obviously the most suitable candidate - his speed is the fastest in the team, and he is the only one who can defend Xue Dingshan; he is good at three-pointers, and he is the best passer. As a player, he is the best candidate to crack the opponent's mixed zone defense.

However, after Xiangfeng's eyes wandered around the lineup of the opposite Baizhou High School team, he thought about the two opponents he was about to meet later, and finally gave up this tempting idea.

After the timeout, the game restarts.

Coach Xiangfeng replaced power forward Tong Haifeng and replaced shooting guard Ahui.Ahui is an excellent shooter, and he has improved a lot recently, and his speed is also very fast.When defending, he defends Xue Dingshan, and Li Yifan assists.

For the offense of Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School, Zhang Yu on the inside assisted in passing the ball, and added shooters like Ah Hui and Li Yifan on the outside. Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School had three shooters on the outside.The offensive power of the outside line has increased, and the defensive area of ​​the Baizhou High School team has expanded, which also gave Zhang Yu and Li Yifan a chance on the inside line.

Coach Xiangfeng's tactical adjustments were quite successful. After the substitution, Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School began to score, and Xue Dingshan's breakthrough was initially contained.In general, the tactical adjustment had an immediate effect.

The two sides continued like this until the beginning of the fourth quarter, and they were still tied.

When the game came back, several people seemed to be running on horsepower, rushing to Baizhou High School desperately, but Baizhou High School and others were abnormally calm, and did not fight hard with Jiang Cheng.

Xue Dingshan held the ball, and Yue Qun changed the position of shooting guard.The two cooperated from left to right, and quickly found a position to throw the ball. Li Yifan and others were caught off guard, and they made the ball first.

After changing the possession of the ball, Li Yifan followed the opportunity of Ahu's breakthrough and slipped to the bottom line to request. Ahu hit the floor and passed the ball in. Li Yifan caught the ball and made a backhand layup.

Xue Dingshan is a more straightforward term for Baizhou's possession of the ball. He went directly to the inside to attract Zhang Yu's attention, and then passed the ball to Shen Jiaqi in the air. Shen Jiaqi got the basketball in the air and rode Zhang Yu directly into the basket.

"kill!"

Shen Jiaqi landed, looked fiercely at the audience, and saluted her fans.

"come on!"

"Baizhou!"

Not to be outdone, Jiangcheng fans also shouted.

"Jiangcheng, come on!"

The warm atmosphere suddenly rose.

Zhang Yu glanced at Li Yifan, and Li Yifan saw fighting in his eyes, so he nodded and pointed forward.

"Huh! Last year's hatred, I will bring it back!" Zhang Yu looked at Xue Dingshan and said in his heart.

Jiangcheng served, Li Yifan slowly pushed forward after receiving the pass from Ahu, and gave it back to Ahu at halftime. The two poured the ball around three points on both sides to confuse the opponent. The slot was given to Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu waited for an opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, Xue Dingshan was not a vegetarian. He secretly told Shen Jiaqi to be optimistic about Zhang Yu and not let Zhang Yu go casually. In the end, Zhang Yu was really locked up. Li Yifan had no choice but to pass Give the ball to Ahu and let Ahu break through.

After Li Yifan's pick-and-roll, Ahu went inside. What he never expected was that this was a turtle in a urn. Bai Zhou and others shrank the defense and surrounded him, not only controlling his sight, but also the direction of his passing. Also defended.

Before Li Yifan went up to support, Yue Qun broke the ball. Yue Qun quickly dribbled forward, Xue Dingshan followed behind, and the two cooperated to pass the ball, tricking Li Yifan away.

"How did you hit the two of us!"

Yue Qun joked.

"Hmph!" Li Yifan didn't speak, but still persisted.

Indeed, the two outsiders are stronger than him, and Jiang Cheng is only Li Yifan who can move. As for the merger of Ahui and Ahu, it is useless. At the level of superstars, 1+1 cannot be equal to 2.

So the ball was scored without any suspense.

Although Zhang Yu is very capable in the interior, there are two people holding him back, which prevents him from showing his strength. Although Tong Haifeng alone can score, he still makes mistakes.

But Baizhou seized these mistakes and counterattacked. As a result, in the last minute of the game, Jiangcheng fell behind by 1 points.

At this moment, Li Yifan was looking at Yue Qun who was holding the ball out of breath. Suddenly, his mind went blank, and the things in front of him seemed to slow down a lot. Li Yifan tried to stretch out his hand, and actually broke the ball. In the next 1 minute, he made two three-pointers. In the last 10 seconds, although he was behind by one point, Jiang Cheng still had the ball.

"Be careful, this guy is going into superstar status."

Xue Dingshan said.

"What?" Yue Qun exclaimed.

Xue Dingshan didn't reply, just stared at Li Yifan, not wanting him to catch the ball.

But how could Li Yifan be so reasonable, he fell back hard, and then used his strength to rush forward, and immediately got a position, and Li Yifan got the basketball.

5S, Li Yifan catches the ball and stands on the three-point line to test, 4S launches an attack, 3S steps into the free throw line, 2S takes off, and 1S, throws his hand hard.

When the whistle sounded, the ball went out, and only a bang was heard, and the basketball fell into the basket.

Just as everyone was cheering, the referee suddenly blew his whistle, indicating that the goal would not be counted, and Jiangcheng was judged to lose.

　I'm too lazy to name the title
