Chapter 84: The National Middle School Basketball Selection Tournament (5) - Narrow Road to Rivals
Bian Guohui shouted to his teammates and began to arrange tactics for the second half.
Bin Guohui decided to let Lin Xiaoyu and Xiao Haifeng, the two defenders of both teams, play in the second half, so that the two defenders can play out the fast break tactics they practiced during the training session. Bin Guohui has been asking his players to speed up their fast breaks, as Shiyan Middle School basketball team does not have any particularly strong inside players, which makes it difficult for Shiyan Middle School's inside line. Therefore, Bin Guohui formulated a defensive and fast break strategy for this Shiyan Middle School basketball team.
Fortunately, Bian Guohui has a good guard and forward in his hands. The speed and breakthrough of Xiao Heifeng, the long-range shooting of Zhang Jialin, and the back-up and rushing ability of Su Hao are all the key weapons for this basketball team to win. More importantly, Bian Guohui also has a good guard like Lin Xiaoyu. As for Lin Xiaoyu, Bian Guohui still can't figure out how deep his strength is as a freshman. In the team, Lin Xiaoyu seems to be playing very easily and hasn't used his full strength yet, making it difficult for Bian Guohui to see through this comprehensive and good-looking kid. However, the accurate passing and overall skills that Lin Xiaoyu has shown in front of Bian Guohui have already made it impossible for Bian Guohui as a coach to pick on him.
In the second half, Bian Guohui decided to let his opponents take a good look at the overall strength of this team. Bian Guohui had given a name to the tactics he had devised for himself during training, called "Hurricane". Bian Guohui had never told the players about the name of this tactic, because those guys who always liked to joke around with Bian Guohui would definitely have a lot of opinions about the name of this tactic that Bian Guohui had come up with. So Bian Guohui had been secretly thinking about this tactic in his heart all along. "Hurricane" - Bian Guohui really wanted to see what kind of "hurricane" would sweep across the field after the start of the second half.
In the second half, the basketball team of Experimental Middle School began to make their opponents from the neighboring county's No. 1 Middle School feel dizzy and confused. Because the five people on the court of Experimental Middle School seemed to have changed teams, with big changes in both offense and defense.
The fat man struggled to bring the ball into the opponent's half court, and just as he was about to take a breather while looking for his teammate to pass to, that despicable defender pounced on him again. The fat man didn't dare to be careless again, so he gritted his teeth and seriously protected the basketball in his hands. Facing this opponent who had already stolen the ball from him three times, the fat man no longer had the same arrogance as before.
The second half of the game had just started for less than five minutes, but Fatso felt like he had played two full games in these five minutes. The reason was that their opponents seemed to have taken some kind of stimulant as soon as they came on in the second half. These opponents brought the rhythm of the game to a high speed that Fatso couldn't keep up with.
These people, as soon as they get the ball, all rush towards their own basket, and their speed is so fast that Fatty and his teammates can't keep up at all. Especially that small dark-skinned guard who was suppressed by Fatty in the first half and didn't play well, now this little guard has become a sharp arrowhead, every time the opponent launches a fast break to the front, it's always this dark-skinned guard who gets there first, Fatty's team really can't find anyone who can keep up with this guard's speed, they can only helplessly watch him easily score under their own basket like he's practicing.
The fat man had a slight difference in thinking, and the ball was almost intercepted by Lin Xiaoyu, who was close to him. The fat man didn't dare to stick to the ball and hastily passed it to his teammate who came over to receive it. After the teammate got the ball, he didn't have any chance to shoot, and unable to get rid of the defensive teammate, he could only take a few steps with the ball before making a very forced jump shot. Unless there was good luck to help, this kind of shooting was unlikely to become a score, and it seemed that this player didn't have good luck. The ball he threw out just barely touched the edge of the basket before being caught by the experimental middle school player who was in position at the bottom of the basket.
As soon as his teammate got the ball, the other three players from Shiyan Middle School sprinted towards the opponent's basket with all their might. The teammate who grabbed the rebound passed the ball to Lin Xiaoyu, who was running over. Lin Xiaoyu didn't hesitate for a moment and threw the ball high into the air towards the opponent's backcourt. The basketball thrown by Lin Xiaoyu flew over the heads of several opponents who were rushing back to defend, and landed accurately in the hands of Xiao Haifeng, who was running at the front. Xiao Haifeng caught the ball and accelerated for two steps before scoring two points with a two-and-a-half step layup.
After this quick attack that took less than a few seconds to complete, the two coaches standing on the sidelines of the court showed two completely different expressions. The slightly bald coach from Linxian No. 1 Middle School was constantly scolding his own team's defender for their poor performance, while Bian Guohui had a satisfied smile on his face, forming a strong contrast. The different attitudes of the two coaches also reflected the current situation of the two teams. The score difference of over 20 points on the scoreboard would indeed give the two coaches such different looks.
The fat man stood on the midfield line, panting and staring at his opponent's goal after they scored, with a smile on their face as they passed by him. The fat man couldn't understand why his opponents had such great physical strength to run back and forth on the field, he had already forgotten how many times he had desperately sprinted around the field in just five minutes of the second half. Now the fat man felt that his two legs were no longer listening to his commands. He wished the final whistle could sound at this moment, even if they lost the game, he didn't want to suffer such torture on the field anymore. The fat man knew that if the game continued, their team would only lose more miserably. His proud and arrogant heart had been buried by the opponent's relentless attacks, one after another, like a tidal wave, and the defender who came up to defend against him.
But Paozi's thoughts in his heart were not as he wished, because the second half of the game had just begun, which also means that Paozi's nightmare is still continuing...
The wind is a flowing gas, it has the characteristic of being elusive and unpredictable, making it impossible to grasp. And now, in the experimental middle school basketball game, they are like this kind of wind that makes the opponent dizzy and disoriented, sweeping them away like fallen leaves.
"Gale". Bian Guohui was quite proud of the tactics he had come up with, and his teammates executed them perfectly, each player like a whirlwind on the court, making the opponent's defense collapse in an instant. The two teams were originally evenly matched in the first half, but the second half became a one-sided situation. This couldn't help but make Bian Guohui proud of this set of tactics that seemed to be tailor-made for his teammates.
The score difference is getting bigger and bigger, which is in stark contrast to the opponent's dwindling will to fight. The players of Shiyan Middle School basketball team are getting more and more excited as they play, running around like they have endless energy. As a result, this game has become a showcase for Shiyan Middle School, with the opposing team from Linxian No. 1 Middle School looking like clowns on the court, unsure of what to do. The leaders watching from the sidelines are all embarrassed, and even the referee who wanted to favor the home team is powerless, because Shiyan Middle School's offense is just too fast, always scoring with quick counterattacks in the opponent's empty half-court. Even if the referee wants to help the home team, they can't just blow away such effortless scores.
The neighbor county's No. 1 middle school's shot was off again, and Lin Xiaoyu jumped up steadily to grab the backboard. The fat guy didn't want to see his opponent launch another wave of fast breaks that he couldn't stop, so even though he felt a bit exhausted, he still used his body to block Lin Xiaoyu who had just grabbed the rebound. The fat guy thought this would slow down the opponent's counterattack and give his own team time to fall back to defend under the basket.
But before Pong's lucky break, Lin Xiaoyu shattered Pong's sweet dream. Still opening his arms to block Lin Xiaoyu's pass, Pong suddenly felt that something had flown quickly through the gap between his legs, and by the time he realized what it was - the basketball in Lin Xiaoyu's hand - it was too late.
Lin Xiaoyu rolled the basketball over Fatty's open legs with a bowling-like motion to the front court of the opponent, where Su Hao received Lin Xiaoyu's incredible pass at the center line position. He immediately completed two passes with his teammate who was also making a fast break and easily turned this fast break into a score.
Lin Xiaoyu's imaginative pass won a burst of applause from the audience, but at the same time, it also made the fat boy who had been humiliated finally unable to hold back his anger and furiously swung a punch at Lin Xiaoyu on the court...
