Chapter 114: The Qualifying Journey (6)

  The teammate handed the attacking power back to Li Feng, and Li Feng found that the substitute wearing a protective sleeve was now defending against him. Li Feng didn't care who came to defend against him, as he knew no one could stop his goal-scoring footsteps.

  Li Feng held the ball and suddenly found that this substitute wearing a protective glove was standing on the left side of his attacking route, blocking his path to break through to the left, but leaving open the path to break through to the right. Li Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "Could it be that this substitute wearing a protective glove has discovered my habit of breaking through to the left?" Li Feng couldn't believe that this substitute could see his playing habits, because even his teammates who played with him every day hadn't noticed this small habit.

  Li Feng decided to take his usual left route breakthrough. After a small feint, Li Feng shook off the substitute defender wearing protective gear and made a straight dash to his left side. However, the defender quickly blocked Li Feng's path, forcing him to stop halfway through his breakthrough. Nevertheless, Li Feng had already reached a position about one step beyond the three-second zone, which was his usual spot for pulling up for a jump shot after retreating. So, he made an emergency stop and immediately followed with a pull-up jumper.

  But just as Li Feng was about to release the ball, the substitute wearing a protective sleeve had already jumped up and covered himself with his left hand, which was not wearing a protective sleeve. The substitute's jump was extremely high, causing some interference with Li Feng's fadeaway shot, but Li Feng still released the ball because he knew that the substitute couldn't block his shot like this.

  Li Feng's shot barely passed over the substitute's left hand, which was raised high and wearing a protective sleeve, and flew straight towards the top of the basket... It's unclear whether it was due to defensive interference or Li Feng's hand feeling cold after resting in the middle of the court, but this pull-up jumper hit the back of the basket. Han Dali, who was in position under the basket, let out a loud roar and grabbed the rebound with all his might.

  Han Dali immediately passed the ball to Lin Xiaoyu, who had already started sprinting towards the front court. Lin Xiaoyu caught the ball without any hesitation and quickly used his left hand to bounce pass the ball to Xiao Haifeng, who had already reached the opponent's basket. Xiao Haifeng received the ball and immediately scored two points with a low-handed layup.

  After Lin Xiaoyu passed the ball, she turned around and ran back to her own backcourt, because Lin Xiaoyu knew that Xiao Haifeng, who was undefended, would definitely score this goal. Lin Xiaoyu ran to Han Dali's side and whispered: "When you pass me the ball next time, it's best to hit the ground first, passing too hard is not good for my hands."

  Han Dairen nodded. Lin Xiaoyu and Han Dairen immediately returned to their defensive positions, preparing to meet the opponent's next attack.

  Li Feng was constantly running back and forth in the opponent's half of the field, but he found that the substitute player wearing a goalkeeper glove who was defending against him was always following him like a shadow, making it impossible for him to receive passes from his teammates. Li Feng had faced countless defensive experts on the field before, but he had never encountered an opponent as tenacious as this one, who seemed to be able to keep up with his every move. This was the first time Li Feng had faced such a defender who could match his speed and agility, and he was at a loss for what to do. Without the ball in his hands, no matter how skilled Li Feng was, he couldn't find a way to score.

  The teammate couldn't pass the ball to Li Feng, and as they watched the attack time tick away second by second, the teammate had no choice but to hastily complete the attack. The basketball bounced heavily on the rim, and the rebound was once again grabbed by Feicui City Experimental Middle School.

  With Lin Xiaoyu, the player with accurate passing, on the court, the "Whirlwind" tactic of Feicui City Experimental Middle School basketball team was immediately used with great effect. Xiao Haifeng, who was unbeatable in speed, scored two points again with a fast break.

  At the end of the third quarter, Li Feng walked to the bench with a bit of discomfort and sat down. He felt that in the last 10 minutes of the third quarter, he was like in a nightmare. For the entire 10 minutes, Li Feng only scored three baskets and got six points. This made him feel extremely frustrated about his poor performance. Moreover, this 10-minute period made him feel more physically exhausted than playing two quarters in the first half. The defense of that guy wearing protective gear on his hand was very strenuous for Li Feng. Not only that, but their opponents seemed to have suddenly changed teams, and those rapid counterattacks were like a tidal wave that his team could hardly cope with. In this quarter, their opponents had already narrowed the gap from over 20 points to just over 10 points, which also made Li Feng feel the pressure from this team for the first time. Now, Li Feng no longer had the intention of breaking his single-game scoring record like he did in the first half. He knew that was no longer realistic. All Li Feng wanted now was to score some points against that player wearing protective gear on his hand and prove once again that he was unbeatable.

  Li Feng turned his head to glance at the opposing team's bench, where a guy wearing wrist guards was sitting on the stool slowly drinking water. It wasn't until then that Li Feng realized this person was actually the opposing team's secret weapon. Although he wouldn't score points, Li Feng had never seen this guy with wrist guards attempt to score; however, his defense really limited Li Feng's scoring opportunities. Moreover, this guy didn't just play good defense - his passing also left Li Feng a bit surprised. Many fast breaks were initiated by this guy with wrist guards, and it was precisely because of him that the team from Feicui City seemed reborn. Li Feng could affirm that this guy with wrist guards was indeed the soul of this team!

  "Is your hand okay?" Bian Guohui asked Lin Xiaoyu about his hand injury. Bian Guohui was increasingly unable to understand Lin Xiaoyu's ball skills, as he was able to defend against the opponent's scoring king with one injured right hand. In the first half, Bian Guohui had assigned two players to guard him, but they had not been effective. Bian Guohui knew that his small town team had acquired a nationally renowned basketball prodigy. Now, Bian Guohui was more concerned about Lin Xiaoyu's injury, as he did not want to see such an outstanding talent ruined in his small team.

  Lin Xiaoyu handed the water bottle in her hand to Yan Nan, who was sitting next to her, and said to the coach standing in front of her: "My hand is fine, I'll be careful." Lin Xiaoyu felt that her right hand was not a problem. In the third quarter just now, Lin Xiaoyu had to use her right hand several times to defend against No. 10's attack, which was really good. Lin Xiaoyu could only defend with all her might to barely hold him off. Lin Xiaoyu was relieved that she could cut off No. 10's passing route first. It was not easy for Lin Xiaoyu to defend against No. 10 one-on-one. She was a little surprised that she could defend so well against No. 10 in the third quarter.

  Lin Xiaoyu looked gratefully at Lin Cijie, the team's female manager who was pouring water. Lin Xiaoyu knew that if it weren't for this girl sending her the protective gloves, her right hand would have been injured from those few times she used it to block the ball on the court. Lin Xiaoyu felt very fortunate to be wearing such a well-protective pair of gloves.

  "It's okay, just be careful and don't force it. You played the third quarter very well......" Bian Guohui glanced at the scoreboard with his spare vision, and he had not expected that his team could narrow the gap of over 20 points opened by the provincial champion Railway Middle School in the first half to only 13 points. This made Bian Guohui wonder if Lin Xiaoyu hadn't been injured, whether his team would have created a dark horse legend on the court? Bian Guohui couldn't help but laugh at his own thoughts, because now Lin Xiaoyu's performance was already creating a similar legend, and Bian Guohui had never seen anyone defend against the opponent's ace player Li Feng as well as he did.

  From the fourth quarter onwards, this railway middle school made some small adjustments in offensive tactics, and specially assigned three players to make a non-ball single block for Li Feng at each position. The effect of this move was quite significant, and Li Feng's ball-handling became much simpler than in the third quarter, giving him enough time to complete the attack.

  Li Feng made a fake move with the ball, shifting Lin Xiaoyu's defensive focus, and then decisively drove the ball straight to the inside line. Lin Xiaoyu was already unable to block Li Feng's breakthrough, so she could only hope that her teammates would provide some supplementary defense for her.

  Han Dali, who was standing on the inside line, saw Lin Xiaoyu being broken through and hurriedly threw down his defensive opponent to make up for it. However, he was still a step late, and when Han Dali was about to jump up and block, Li Feng had already flown high under the basket, completing a beautiful performance with a dunk.

  Li Feng, who had been stifling his frustration in the third quarter, finally let out a loud roar under the basket. The stadium erupted in applause for Li Feng once again.

  Lin Xiaoyu stood outside the three-point line with the ball in both hands, her eyes constantly watching her teammates' movements. Li Feng knew that this player wearing a wrist guard wouldn't attack himself, so he stood one meter away from him, trying to cut off his passing route because this guy's passing was really threatening.

  Lin Xiaoyu suddenly sent the ball to her right hand, and Li Feng instinctively reached out in the direction of Lin Xiaoyu's pass. But just as Li Feng stretched out his hand, he found that the basketball had not left the player wearing the protective sleeve's hand. Li Feng knew things were going badly.

  As expected, Lin Xiaoyu immediately drove the ball to the basket as soon as he saw Li Feng make a move. After using his right side of his body to lean against an opponent who came over to defend, Lin Xiaoyu completed a layup with his left hand. The referee's whistle also sounded at the moment Lin Xiaoyu scored, and the referee signaled that the Railway Middle School was defending, and the Emerald Experimental Middle School's score was valid, and a free throw was awarded.

  As he watched the player wearing a wrist guard and his teammates celebrating this beautiful three-pointer, Li Feng had a thought that made him feel a little chilled. Was this player wearing a wrist guard also a good scorer? Because Li Feng was very clear that the player's breakthrough to the basket just now was a very standard scoring guard action, and whether it was speed or proficiency, it was extremely perfect. Li Feng even saw that when he went up for the layup, he had a subtle fake move, deceiving his teammate who came up to defend into committing a foul. Li Feng knew that being able to make such a move required very good scoring ability. Was this player wearing a wrist guard originally also a good scorer? Li Feng really couldn't believe that this team from Feicui City, which he had only heard of for the first time, would have such an all-around player.

  Li Feng felt that this player wearing a protective sleeve had already reached the same level as himself and No. 10 from Changchun Middle School...

  PS: I was drunk last night, which led to the third update not being achieved. I'm really sorry about that. Today there will be two updates as compensation, please forgive me. Last night there was no moonlight, so it lacked the feeling of raising a glass to invite the bright moon. It's a bit regrettable, but I know the moon is still in the sky, whether we can see it or not. Many things in life are like this.
