Chapter 50 V.63: Tactical Upgrades

"Hehe, that's an honor." Ling Lan asked with a grin, "My goal is not just that, the championship of the winter league is the ultimate goal of our Xiangshan Middle School participating in this winter league!"

"Well said!" Zhou Caisheng said after hearing the applause, "Our Wancai Investment Company needs Hua Linglan's confidence like you. I have already decided to sponsor your Xiangshan Middle School basketball team and make new uniforms and basketballs for you. Shoes, and it won't interfere with your training and games, what do you think?"

Linglan happily nodded in agreement, then opened the backpack and handed over the registration data files of the team members to Zhou Caisheng. Shi Qianqian who was beside him asked with some doubts: "Why does Wancai Investment Company provide free sponsorship to our school?"

Zhou Caisheng crossed his fingers, a big gemstone ring gleamed on his index finger, and after listening to Shi Qianqian's question, he said: "Well, it's all because of me, the reason why I admire those grassroots teams... I hope you can Use all your strength to win the next competition, and as for the financial sponsorship, leave it to me...can you do it, Hua Linglan?"

……

After school on Wednesday afternoon, Ling Lan packed up her things and rushed out of the school gate. Today was the second day after receiving sponsorship from Wancai Investment Company. Ling Lan didn't expect that the custom-made jerseys and sneakers arranged by Zhou Caisheng had already been prepared. A large cardboard box was unloaded from a small transport truck, and Ling Lan borrowed a forklift from the guard room to carry the box to the basketball court. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted: "Everyone, come and move things!"

The team members who were warming up came over, and Li Ying looked at the big cardboard box and said in amazement: "Wow, what's in it, Miss Hua!"

"Good stuff~" Lily of the valley took out the key and cut off the tape on it, and took out a new custom-made jersey from the cardboard box: there was a different text printed on the back of the red background and white border—Fenghuo jersey!
"These are..." Yang Hao picked up a plastic bag, tore it open and took out the jersey and said in surprise, "Fenghuo jersey? The workmanship and materials are really good...there is a word on the back, it is 'sea'...sea you of."

Chen Chaohai took the jersey and held it in his hand. Yang Hao also handed him the new basketball shoes and asked, "This batch of jerseys, shorts and basketball shoes cost a lot of money, right?"

"It's free." Ling Lan bent down to check the things in the box and responded casually. Everyone stared at each other blankly. Ouyang Yuchen picked up a jersey with "Chen" printed on it and said: "These should be the ones from Wan Wan the day before yesterday. Sponsored by Cai Investment, right?"

"This one is 'Lie'..." Ye Fan picked up the jersey and handed it to Lan Lie, "This one is 'Wu'...Cheng Wu's."

Ling Lan took a jersey with "Dong" printed on it and handed it to the ignorant Meng Xiaodong. After the distribution, Ling Lan told the team members about the sponsorship discussion with Zhou Caisheng on Monday. Ouyang Yuchen pushed his glasses and asked, "Yes?" He voluntarily sponsored it? I can't believe it... I thought it was going to be all over the jersey."

"Haha..." The person next to him smiled, and Ling Lan looked at the team members energetically and said, "Everyone, these are the rewards we got for our hard work. We will face Furukawa Middle School in the next semi-finals competition. We have 10 days to start upgrading our existing tactics today."

The players regrouped and sat on the floor in the center of the court. Suzuran took out a tactical drawing board and marker pens and sat down and motioned to the players, "Everyone, everyone has mastered our two-person pick-and-roll tactics and trident offense. You also felt it when Lin Chengyi played at No. [-] Middle School, these two basic coordination tactics are not very effective in high-level competitions."

"Indeed." Ye Fan nodded and said, "Once the opponent is familiar with our tactics, they will be able to respond quickly, and there are not many chances of success."

"Yeah..." Li Ying crossed her hands and said, "Those guys in Lin Cheng No. [-] Middle School will never be blocked to make room. .”

Lan Lie recalled the game of Lincheng No. [-] Middle School and said: "Compared with the pick-and-roll tactics, the Fengyun brothers of Lin Cheng No. [-] Middle School are more skilled than us. They can not only break through high pick-and-rolls, but also attack in low pick-and-rolls... It is really scary in retrospect. .”

Ling Lan nodded in agreement, then took out the tactical drawing board and said: "Today we will upgrade the simple pick-and-roll tactics, as long as we get familiar with the new tactics in the next 10 days, then it will be much easier to play against Furukawa Middle School...then the next , everyone first stand according to the position on the drawing board."

According to the positions indicated on the drawing board, the players stood at four positions of 0° and 45° on both sides of the three-point line. Ling Lan threw the basketball to Li Ying who was 45° to the left and said, "Li Ying, you can play The ball runs around the outside line to the right, and at this time, Yuchen, you also go around the outside line to catch Li Ying's pass head-on, remember to pass and receive during the running process, and the two intersect after the pass."

The two nodded. Li Ying dribbled the ball at 45° on the left side and ran to the right. At the same time, Ouyang Yuchen ran from the right 45° to the left. Li Ying threw the ball to Ouyang Yuchen and Ouyang Yuchen interspersed once at the position of the three-point axis and left with their backs.

"Yes, that's it." Ling Lan immediately pointed to Yang Hao in the bottom corner and said, "Senior Yang Hao, you immediately run around the three-point line, interspersed to catch the ball like just now, and then Lan Lie on the other side also the same……"

As soon as Linglan said that Lan Lie had set off and ran around the three-point line, Yuchen passed a pass to Yang Hao and the two turned their backs to leave, and then Yang Hao passed a pass to Lan Lie again while running. The process was like knitting a sweater, passing the ball from side to side, Suzuran clapped her hands and said: "Very good, just like this, everyone is divided into two groups for training, and the players on both sides go around the three-point line and pass the ball back and forth, so that they can go head-on Pass the ball, you can also go around and pass the ball... let's start!"

"Then how do you move after returning to the bottom line once through?" Yang Hao had already run to the other side and asked, Ling Lan pointed to the position under the basket and said: "Attention, when you return to the bottom line on the other side after passing through the ball, What to do at this time? It’s very simple. Observe the defender. In the first case, the defender is off the line when you reach the bottom line, so go around the inside and come out from the other side; in the second case, the defender is chasing you. , then you return to your position and wait for the next time.”

"Understood." Yang Hao nodded, and the players were divided into two groups. Under the two basketball hoops, they began to run around the three-point line and pass the ball one by one. Ling Lan stood on the sidelines to correct incorrect movements and behaviors: Looking at the two sides outside the three-point line of the court, there are continuous people going around to catch the basketball. After the two meet and leave, they cut to the baseline and go around from the other side. The players gradually become familiar with the overall behavior of this "weaving" running.

"Look, look, what are they practicing!" The students watching in the stands watched the team members grouped under the two basketball hoops and passed the ball around the front. Shi Qianqian asked Linglan curiously: "Linglan What kind of tactic is this? Running back and forth from the left and right sides to pass the ball... My eyes are dazzled..."

"You'll know soon." Lily Lan continued to direct the practice of passing the ball around the front. After the players gradually got used to it, Lily Lan signaled a break and stepped forward and said, "Don't run too fast, pay attention to the rhythm... After you are almost familiar with it , let's practice for a while? Li Ying, Lan Lie, Yuchen and Cheng Wu are in a group, and the rest defend the four of them."

"Four vs. five!" Li Ying stood on the outside line with a basketball in her hand and asked, "And Sister Hua, the big salted fish are all on their side, how do you fight?"

"Start!" Ling Lan stood on the sidelines and blew the whistle to signal the start. Ye Fan and Chen Chaohai defended the inside, and the remaining three defended the flanks; Going around, Li Ying immediately passed to him while running and the two of them interspersed, and then Lan Lie passed to Ouyang Yuchen to cross again while running. , Ouyang Yuchen knew it and immediately turned around and passed the ball directly to Li Ying's hands!
