Chapter 97

Right now, Li Yifan is undergoing recovery surgery in Beijing. This is a minimally invasive surgery, so it doesn’t take too long, so there are still about 10 days before Li Yifan is discharged from the hospital. During these ten days, Li Yifan has been watching tactics, learning to cooperate, and looking forward Better performance later.

"My biggest weakness right now is defense, and I must do it well," Li Yifan thought to himself.

The time was spent chatting, and Coach Xiangfeng was surprised to find that the kid in his eyes turned out to be a great star in the high school league.It is really surprising that such a small grade has achieved such an achievement.But recalling his amazing skills, it is also relieved.Recalling the scene of that night, Coach Xiangfeng couldn't help smiling, he was really an interesting little guy.

"They're coming in!" Ah Xuan cheered.

The door for players to enter the field opens.Players from both sides file into the field.The stadium suddenly boiled up.The audience enthusiastically cheered the names of the team members. Since it was held in the university's gymnasium, many college students also came to watch.Enthusiastic college students spared no effort to cheer for the players of both sides.All of a sudden, the stadium was full of voices, and it was very lively.

Team Tiantian's players are full of fighting spirit, and Jiangcheng's players are also full of murderous intent.After the captains of the two sides greeted each other, they went back to their own venues to warm up.The scene looked very friendly and peaceful.The keen audience still felt that the two sides sparked sparks.Even before the game started, the atmosphere of the competition had already shrouded the entire gymnasium.

Players from both sides entered the field to warm up.On the court, Li Yifan moved his body slowly, without doing too much exercise.In the locker room, Coach Xiangfeng has explained today's tactical arrangement in detail.In today's game, Li Yifan did not play for the first 10 minutes as usual -- although Li Yifan insisted, Coach Xiangfeng still did not allow it.Seeing Coach Xiangfeng full of fighting spirit, Li Yifan knew that he had wronged Coach Xiangfeng—even though he knew the gap between his team, Coach Xiangfeng still did not give up the game.Now the fighting spirit of the team members is extremely high. Although Li Yifan doesn't know what's going on, it's not a bad thing after all.

The game is about to begin, and finally the finals are here!
"I'm back!" Coach Xiangfeng shouted from the coach's bench.The warm-up is over.

"Last ball!" Li Yifan signaled to Zhang Yu, "Let's go!"

The ball was thrown high from Li Yifan's hands and went straight to the basket.Three-pointer?No, Zhang Yu followed closely, jumped high, and the moment the ball fell, he grabbed the ball with both hands and slammed the ball into the basket—a slam dunk by catching the ball in the air!
Slam dunk, lob slam dunk? "Boom!" The audience exploded, and the stadium exploded.The audience spared no effort to applaud and applaud.

On the basketball court, Li Yifan and Zhang Yu clapped hands in celebration.Li Yifan looked disdainfully at the Tiantian players, and raised his middle finger arrogantly.

……

The Jiangcheng rest area over there.Coach Xiangfeng didn't have any extra words, "Just follow the tactics that Jiangcheng studied just now, let's play!"

"Hey, everyone, don't be too active. I want to play too!" Li Yifan urged eagerly.

"Idiot!" Zhang Yu opened his big hand, and the injury was healed. Let's take a look at the situation first.

"Play!"

Players from both sides enter the field.

The difference in height between the two sides is too obvious.The Tiantian team has high school giant Ge Youge on the inside line, Sima Yuan and Song Chao are also 193 in height.This is really a big test for Jiangcheng.Only Zhang Yu and Tong Haifeng can compete with their opponents.

"Flute!" The game officially started.

"Jump ball!" It was still Zhang Yu who jumped the ball.The ball was thrown high from the hands of the referee.The two stared at each other.Look at the timing and take off at the same time.Can you catch the ball?
"Crack!" Ge Youge touched the ball first.The Tiantian team won the ball.

"Return to defense!" Zhang Yu put his feet on the ground and immediately returned to defense.The other team members had already rushed back to their field long before Zhang Yu gave the order.The speed was so fast that Li Yifan was also dumbfounded.

The Tiantian team, who had no chance to break fast, had to slow down their offensive rhythm, let Cui Shi control the ball, and patiently searched for opportunities.Jiangcheng's defensive formation is as follows: Tong Haifeng, Zhang Yu, and Ah Hui form an inside defensive circle, and Ahu on the outside keeps an eye on the opponent's three-point shooter Li Feng.Ma Jue stared at Cui Shi.At this point in the game, after the baptism of several national competitions, Jiangcheng's defense is no longer as vulnerable as before. In consecutive games, every player in Jiangcheng has been greatly improved.Facing the opponent's ace defender Cui Shi, Ma Jue tried his best to defend with all his strength. For a while, Cui Shi couldn't break through.It is really reassuring.Although it was difficult for Li Yifan to understand where the strong fighting spirit of the Jiangcheng players came from, it still made Li Yifan very happy.

Cui Shi didn't get too entangled with Ma Jue, and immediately passed the ball.Li Feng who caught the ball did not make a shot, and the ball fell into Sima Yuan's hands again.His opponent is of course Zhang Yu.In fact, this game is also a duel between two ace forwards to some extent.

After receiving the ball, Sima Yuan raised his hand and made a shooting motion.Fake action?No, he already shot the basket.Zhang Yu was unable to intercept, and rushed back to the basket, yelling "rebound!"

Without a backboard, the ball goes into the net very briskly.The Tiantian team scored first.

"The ball just now should be a fake move under normal circumstances." Coach Xiangfeng said. "But No. 5 of the Tiantian team saw his huge advantage inside, so he dared to shoot without any scruples—even if he didn't score, his teammates could still grab rebounds. There was Ge Youge, the number one giant in high school, under the basket. It's going to be hard for Jiangcheng to play a game!"

After being scored by the opponent, Zhang Yu's expression did not fluctuate in any way.He said calmly, "It's Jiangcheng's turn to attack!"

attack.Ahu quickly dribbled the ball to attack.When I met Cui Shi, I passed the ball to Zhang Yu immediately without any entanglement.Zhang Yu single-handedly rushed to the opponent's inside line, facing Sima Yuan, turned around, passed his press, jumped up, want to shoot the basket, Ge Youge quickly made up for the basket, opened his huge hands, high Jump high and block the ball with all your strength.Zhang Yu, who was in the air, didn't force his shot. He retracted the ball and stuffed it from Ge Youge's armpit to Tong Haifeng who was already waiting by the side.Tong Haifeng, who caught the ball, held the ball in both hands and leaped high.Sima Yuan at the side saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly stopped him.Tong Haifeng, who held the ball in both hands, endured Sima Yuan's strong block, and forcefully dunked the ball into the basket.Score.Although the height is the same, Tong Haifeng, who is used to confronting the opposing center's physical strength, is Sima Yuan's strength comparable to that of Sima Yuan? !
It's so handsome.Li Yifan couldn't help jumping up off the field, applauding loudly and applauding repeatedly.Everyone's performance today is really amazing.The worries before the game can now be temporarily put down.

After scoring the goal, Tong Haifeng still had a serious expression on his face. He landed on both feet and ran back immediately.The other team members just cheered for him, without any delay, and immediately returned to their defensive positions.

It's really strange, when they were so sober and active, what kind of panacea did Coach Xiangfeng give them?
Less than 1 minute into the game, the two sides temporarily tied the game at two to two.

"Jiangcheng seems not to be outdone!" A Xuan said, "Jiangcheng's center, although not very eye-catching, is really tough. He can still get the ball in under such circumstances, so don't underestimate it!"

"Both sides have put in their best efforts in this game. From this point of view, this game is worth seeing."

Tiantian team's offense.Cui Shi broke through with the ball.After halftime, the ball was released immediately, Zhang Yi received the ball, Ahui defended desperately, and he didn't have a chance to make a move.Zhang Yu and Tong Haifeng actively moved their positions and pressed harder on their opponents. Ge Youge and Sima Yuan had no way to get the ball inside.The ball returned to Cui Shi's hands.

How will it be handled.Continue to pass the ball, pound the ball on the outside, and patiently look for opportunities?Break through, cut into the inside line by yourself?Directly throw the ball to Sima Yuan or Ge Youge?But they have been completely blocked by Tong Haifeng and Zhang Yu.How will it be handled?
Cui Shi didn't let the suspense last for long.The ball is thrown high.Shoot?No, Ge Youge, who was already under the basket, jumped up high, ready to catch the ball.A figure suddenly appeared and soared high. The moment Ge Youge caught the ball, the ball was slapped hard.Zhang Yu? !He has already seen Cui Shi's intention to pass the ball!
The ball was shot back beyond the three-point line, and Ma Jue seized the opportunity to get the ball first.

"Launch a fast break!" Ma Jue rushed towards the opponent's basket single-handedly.Cui Shi, who was lagging behind, followed immediately.Then follow Ah Hui.Cui Shi tried his best to catch up, and finally occupied the defensive position before Ma Jue shot.Facing Cui Shi, Ma Jue jumped up and made a layup without any fear.The moment the ball was shot, it was pulled back—Cui Shi had already intercepted it.Ahui from behind caught the ball and easily hit the rebound and scored.Score. 4:2.

The Wangwang Tiantian team did not wait for Jiang Cheng to catch his breath, and immediately returned the color. Cui Shi's breakthrough caused chaos in the interior. When Li Yifan's teammates blocked his shot, the ball was transferred to Ge Youge in the interior.Facing Tong Haifeng, Ge Youge showed the strong strength of the country's first-class center and easily scored the ball.

Afterwards, Jiangcheng continued to attack.When the players of the Tiantian team blocked Zhang Yu's shot, they didn't prevent Zhang Yu from passing the ball. The other players actively moved and scored the ball accurately after getting the ball.Less than 7 minutes into the game, the score is temporarily 10:10
Li Yifan began to understand Coach Xiangfeng's tactical intentions.Coach Xiangfeng is really treacherous.In this game, Jiangcheng did not focus the ball on the team's main scorer Zhang Yu at the beginning.Zhang Yu just threaded the needle, disrupted the opponent's defense, and passed the ball at the most appropriate time.Guide other players to score.What a treacherous Xiangfeng coach.

Of course, all of this is premised.First of all, the Tiantian team must recognize that Jiangcheng's main scorer is Zhang Yu. Secondly, Zhang Yu must have accurate judgment, broad vision, and passing instinct.The current Zhang Yu's real position is actually not a forward, but a second guard.Li Yifan never thought that besides his strong scoring ability, Zhang Yu has so many abilities. Coach Xiangfeng is really wise, he really sees through his proud disciple!
Zhang Yi, the coach of the Tiantian team, saw that the situation could not be opened, and quickly called the first timeout.

"You played well!" Coach Xiangfeng smiled. "Jiangcheng played well in the first stage. It was a tie with the opponent. It was unexpected!"

Jiang Cheng's initial tactics caught his opponent by surprise.Next, the opponent must narrow the defensive circle and send special personnel to relax Qifeng.Jiangcheng's next tactic is to use Zhang Yu as the center of offense and look for opportunities on the outside.Ahui and Ahu cover on the outside. "Coach Xiangfeng took out the whiteboard and carefully demonstrated the outside pick-and-roll coordination on it.

"Of course, all of this must be guaranteed by Qifeng and Tong Haifeng being able to grab rebounds inside." Coach Xiangfeng finally said solemnly to the two, "I know you are under a lot of pressure. But now the height of the inside line can compete with them Just the two of you."

"Don't worry, Coach Xiangfeng. You don't have to be tall to grab rebounds." Zhang Yu said with confidence, "Jiangcheng won't let them succeed!"

"I won't admit defeat either!" Tong Haifeng said in a deep voice.

"Okay, let's play!"

Restart.The Tiantian team has the ball.Under Cui Shi's unified organization, Li Feng easily made a three-pointer from the outside.

Jiangcheng attacked.As expected, the Tiantian team narrowed the defensive circle. Ge Youge, Zhang Yi, and Sima Yuan on the inside formed a tight relaxation circle on the inside. Cui Shi and Li Feng on the outside actively marked people on the outside.

The three elders defended tightly, and Tong Haifeng and Zhang Yu had no chance to get the ball inside.Zhang Yu broke out, went to the outside to catch the ball, and directly cut into the inside. Sima Yuan stepped up his defense. Zhang Yu had no chance to rush in, turned around in the air and swung back, and Ah Hu from the outside received the ball.Ahui and Ma Jue quickly split up, blocked the double-teaming route of Li Feng and Cui Shi, and blocked them outside with their bodies.Ah Hu made a smooth shot and made a three-pointer from outside the line.The ball crashed into the net and scored!

"Hehe, Jiangcheng's coach is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Facing the gap in strength, he can constantly create situations and create opportunities through tactical changes!"

"But this tactic cannot be maintained after all. As long as the Tiantian team is familiar with Jiangcheng's offensive methods, it will not be so easy to succeed!"

"Jiangcheng's real intention is to delay the game and wait for their ace defender Li Yifan to play. His joining will make Jiangcheng another strong team. The current Tiantian team must step up their attack and draw Li Yifan as soon as possible. Come down, so that you can increase your chances of winning!"

next game.The Tiantian team adapted to Jiangcheng's offensive style and gradually took the initiative in the game.The game progressed to No. 13 minutes, and the score was 26:18.

"Ready to play!" Coach Xiangfeng finally said.

Haha, it's finally his turn to play.Li Yifan jumped up from the chair excitedly.He quickly took off his outer clothes.Made a few warm-up exercises easily.
