New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 68 The Crushing of Basketball IQ

Tactical literacy is a rigid indicator of a strong basketball team.In American neighborhoods, there are many teenagers with basketball talents, but there are very few people who can really embark on the road of professional players in the NBA. The reason lies in tactical execution.

The key to winning or losing this game is whether Zhang Yi can lead the team to break through the Bulldogs' new zone defense.

Little Foyo also bit his lower lip, which was his habit when he was nervous.

Talent is not the only condition for him to choose a player. A basketball court is like a battlefield, and only obedience and unity are the safest barriers to victory.

Including this game, Wacker did not fully use the main force because of this consideration.

The desperate situation is the best environment to test the obedience of players.

If the mentality of the players collapses when they are behind, it means that they have doubts about the coach, themselves and the whole team, which proves that the mentality still needs to be tempered.

Although Wacker does not advocate team basketball, he also knows that no player can work alone without the team.

When there is a problem with the team's offense, it's time to test the core players in the team.

Before serving, Zhang Yi whispered a few words to Robert, and then pulled Brad who was about to run forward to talk a few words.

"Brad? A 3D player with an unstable three-pointer... Zhang Yi's idea of ​​​​preparing to break through from the three-pointer is correct, but is this shooter really capable of running out of opportunities and making shots?"

Looking at their performance, Little Fuyou sneered, not only him, Fleck and others on the field also had the same idea.

The Bruins launched an offense, Robert held the ball for halftime, and the Bulldogs immediately launched a zone defense position.

Zhang Yi wanted to run over to catch the ball, but the opponent's point guard was still hot on his heels.

Including Brad wandering near the perimeter, and he moves there, the Bulldogs move the defensive lineup there.

Although it is a zone defense, they have strong defensive flexibility because of the two defensive knives of Fleck and Austin.

"We know that you want to find Brad... Don't dream!" The point guard who was entangled with Zhang Yi said proudly in his ear.

In addition to pestering Zhang Yi and not giving him a chance to catch the ball, he also had another task to piss off the rookie.

Zhang Yi's movements when he broke free from the defense were very clean, which also gave the opponent room to use some indiscriminate tricks.

"Come on, score! Aren't you the ace of the Bruins!" He provoked while pulling Zhang Yi's jersey.

"I'm not even the sixth man in the Bulldogs. It seems that you really can't do it!"

Zhang Yi suddenly shot back, "You don't even count as the sixth person and you made it out on purpose, you should be the thickest-skinned!"

"Damn! What did you say?" The little man hit Zhang Yi on the back with an elbow.

The whistle blew at this moment, and Zhang Yi whistled too, and said to him with a sneer, "Thank you for your two points."

The number of fouls for the Bulldogs was up, and Zhang Yi easily scored two free throws.

"What are you doing?" Fleck scolded the point guard in a low voice, and the latter scratched his bald head and replied angrily, "I was careless, sorry."

In the next round, the Bulldogs will still play inside, but Zhang Yi and others are already prepared.

The backup center of the Bruins is not tall enough, but he is very heavy. I saw that he blocked the opponent before he took the position outside the penalty area with a lift of his butt.

"How is this possible?" Austin said in surprise, "Hmph, luckily he still has a mid-range shot."

Unable to get close to the basket, the center squatted on his knees near the baseline and made a standard shooting action...

"The center can shoot and no one can stop it!" The host shouted before the basketball was shot.

"Wait! Who's behind?"

When the big center raised his hands up to make a shot, he suddenly felt someone behind him... a big hand was covering the basketball from behind...

With a bang, the basketball was blocked by him and just bounced into the hands of the Bruins center.

"666! It's Zhang Yi! Send out the big hat!"

Auston couldn't believe his eyes, and saw Zhang Yi gave his center forward a thumbs up. He suddenly realized that the two had negotiated?
The little Fuyou who watched this scene was also stunned, because he only saw Zhang Yi's extraordinary talent in the previous few games, but he didn't expect his basketball IQ to be so high...

Seeing the bewildered expression on the opponent's face, Wacker drank water and almost burst out laughing, thinking that Zhang Yi was the basketball embryo he picked, so it was too early to be surprised!
After getting the ball, Robert instantly accelerated and left Fleck behind, while the center handed the basketball to Zhang Yi.

I saw Zhang Yi's precise football-like long pass found the fast-breaking Robert. After taking off, the latter avoided Fleck's chasing cap and used a reflexive pull-up layup to score two more points!
"Go-ahead! The Bruins took the lead for the first time in the second half!" the host shouted excitedly, and the live music also ignited the atmosphere.

All members of the Bulldogs team stared at Zhang Yi's bright smile, their teeth itching with hatred.

Especially Fleck's emotions almost exploded, after all, let the opponent he defended hit such a beautiful goal...

"Calm down! We'll still win!" Auston patted Fleck on the shoulder and said, "They can't break our zone defense!"

Then to the offense of the Bulldogs, with the lessons from last time, Fleck decided to play one-on-one.

Facing Robert, he changed directions continuously. Although the opponent's defensive position has been stable, Fleck's sense of the ball is also very strong.

At the moment when Robert was stunned, he speeded up and pierced the Bruins' defense, picking up the basket against the center's defense to recover a ball.

"If you can't break the defense, you can't win!" Auston deliberately lowered his voice and said coldly.This made Zhang Yi laugh even more, it was like a child learning how to speak from an adult.

It was the turn of the Bruins to attack. To everyone's surprise, Zhang Yi dribbled the ball and walked towards the half court. His height and size are not that unsuitable for a point guard.

The little point guard guarding him was stunned. Do I have to mark the whole court?He glanced at the coach, and Fuyo Jr. nodded.

He gritted his teeth and followed Zhang Yi all over the court, always ready to steal the ball.

But the difference in height and wingspan is too much, and he just pretends that he can't threaten Zhang Yi at all.

Fleck continued to mark Robert, while Austin chose to follow Brad, because these are the most threatening points for the Bruins.

The most threatening order was pulled out, so they had to double-team. Because of Zhang Yi's change, the Bulldogs' zone defense collapsed on its own.

Just as he dribbled the ball into the Bulldogs' half, Austin, out of the habit of defending the whole court, was immediately attracted by him and lost his defender by mistake.

"Haha, you are fooled!"

Zhang Yi yelled, and the basketball passed Auston's side to Brad's hands outside the three-point line.

"Damn it!" Auston turned around and wanted to make up for the defense, but it was too late, Brad made a steady shot, and a three-pointer went into the frame!

Little Fuyou stomped his feet angrily, because his disciple was completely played by Zhang Yi.

No matter how good he is with the ball, as long as he continues to execute tactics, even Zhang Yi still can't break through...

In the last 3 minutes of the game, with the change of Zhang Yi's dismissal, the Bruins went directly from being unable to attack to blooming more points.

Whoever he was rushing at would miss, because everyone on the Bulldogs knew that defending them one-on-one couldn't stop the man.

Fuyo Jr. didn't call a timeout, he shook his head, and the battle came to an end in the Bruins' indiscriminate bombing in the last 3 minutes.

"Congratulations to UCLA! Congratulations to the Bruins! They won this game! Completed the season's six-game winning streak!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience applauded thunderously!

Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked towards the auditorium. At some point, James and Kobe had already left...

"Good job! But see you next time in the playoffs, we won't lose again!"

Austin came to him and said.And Zhang Yi smiled slightly to express his gratitude.

"Father, it looks like the time for revenge hasn't come yet!" Little Fuyo said in his heart while hugging Wake...

This is the first time that the Bruins have defeated a recognized strong team in the league, so on the Internet, their name has officially started!
