I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 12 I Feel Targeted

"Good pass! Great improvement from previous passes."

"Of course, I have worked hard during this time."

"Haha! That's why I taught you well, and let you learn the essence."

During the retreat, Wade and Li Xuan clapped their hands in celebration and boasted to each other.

During the few days of rest, Li Xuan took Wade to train alone whenever he was free, teaching him to control and pass the ball.

During the training process, Wade also knew Li Xuan's weakness in ball handling, and he didn't have any secrets. He carefully taught him ball-handling skills, but the effect was not ideal.

Li Xuan, a master of everything, is stuck in this one, and his progress is very slow. His current level of ball control is equivalent to that of a beginner.

Wade seriously suspects that his brother has no sense of the ball, which is why his progress is so slow.

"Man, just hand it over to me when you get the ball, and I'll let you shoot comfortably. Don't expose your shortcomings in advance and let other teams target you."

"Don't worry, Dwyane, I won't be so stupid, isn't it good to play off the ball?"

After the two communicated, they returned to their respective defensive areas to deal with the offense of the University of Texas.

In this round of offense, TJ Ford does not intend to cooperate, let his teammates pull away, and create space for him to play singles.

Facing Dinard's fierce defense, TJ Ford was very calm. He wanted to break through, but no one could defend him.

After continuously dribbling the ball under the crotch, TJ Ford suddenly made a sharp change of direction, shaking Dinard's center of gravity. Seeing that he didn't get rid of the defense, he used explosive power to pull the ball back, dribbled behind his back and changed hands to break through to the other side.

Seeing this situation, Dinar, whose body was leaning to one side, felt unwilling. If he forcibly moved laterally to the other side, he would probably fall to the ground. He could only watch TJ Ford break through from beside him.

"Come on, TJ's speed is really fast, he swayed Dinar away effortlessly!"

Not only the two commentators on the scene were surprised, but even the three Spurs "GDP" sitting in the auditorium couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

"At that moment just now, I seemed to see the shadow of Iverson." Ginobili said in surprise.

Duncan and Parker nodded, they both have a deep understanding of Iverson's breakthrough.

At this time, the situation on the field is confusing, and no one knows whether the University of Texas's offense can be completed.

After Li Xuan saw that Dinard was shaken away, he abandoned his defender and ran towards the basket to help defend.

By checking the opponent's player data before the game, we know that Lawrence, a small forward from the University of Texas, has a very low three-point shooting percentage, which is why he did not hesitate to help defend.

Marquette University's inside twin towers are not a decoration, and they immediately retreat to the basket for supplementary defense.

TJ Ford did not choose to pass the ball this time, relying directly on center Maynard to force a layup.

The basketball goes over Maynard's upraised hands, wipes the board and enters the hoop.

After scoring the goal, TJ Ford glanced provocatively at Li Xuan, who came to help defend, and said mockingly: "Boy, why are you here now? You're not fast enough!"

Li Xuan ignored TJ Ford's trash talk and came to the bottom line to serve.

He felt a little regretful, the system didn't issue a sniper mission, and asked him to teach TJ Ford how to behave.

It is guessed that TJ Ford's strength has not yet reached the level where the system specifically issues tasks.

The game continued. After receiving the ball, Dinard carefully controlled the half court and observed the movements of his teammates.

At this time, the other four members of the Golden Eagles were doing complicated off-ball running coordination.

This is an offensive tactic specially formulated for Li Xuan by head coach Klein.

During the rest time of the past few days, Klein saw Li Xuan's three-pointers almost hit every shot in training, and he knew that the three-pointers in the last round were not luck. a lot.

Therefore, the members of the coaching staff were called to work overtime to formulate reasonable three-point shooting tactics for Li Xuan, so that the team's offensive tactics became diversified.

Back on the court, after many off-ball screens, Li Xuan got rid of the defender and ran to a 45° angle outside the three-point line on the right.

Without any hesitation, Dinard passed the ball quickly. TJ Ford reached out to intercept, but got nothing.

After receiving the basketball, Li Xuan took off quickly, glanced at the basket in the air, and threw the basketball in his hand.

The University of Texas players who came to supplement the defense were a step slower and failed to interfere with the shot.

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

5: 2!

Looking back, TJ Ford wanted to return a three-pointer. After reaching the top of the arc, he made a change of direction in front of his body, swaying a little shooting space, immediately pulled up, and shot a three-pointer.

Halfway across the body, Dinar struggled to take off, straightened his arms, and blocked TJ Ford's line of sight with his palms, thereby interfering with shooting.

This trick of "covering the eyes and defending" worked well and seriously affected TJ Ford's shooting rhythm.

The basketball hit the front of the rim and bounced near the free throw line. Wade jumped up and grabbed the rebound. After landing, he sprinted toward the frontcourt to launch a defensive counterattack.

TJ Ford, who was back on defense, stepped forward to try to steal and intercept, delaying Wade's advancement speed, even if he fouled, he could interrupt Marquette University's fast break.

Wade didn't let TJ Ford's plan succeed, jumped up and passed the ball over TJ Ford's head.

Due to his height, TJ Ford was destined to be unable to intercept the pass, so he could only turn around and chase the basketball.

Li Xuan, who rushed to the opponent's half, received the pass and saw that there was no defensive player in front of him. He dribbled and came to the free throw line. He took a big step, soared into the air, gliding for a certain distance, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand. basket.

The Golden Eagles fans in the auditorium let out deafening cheers and shouts, cheering for this explosive dunk!

Before the University of Texas served the ball, Li Xuan called his teammates together and muttered a few words.

"Li, although it's a bit detrimental, I like it."

After Wade finished speaking, he returned to his defensive area with a smile.

The other teammates also nodded, indicating that they could complete the task.

The University of Texas attacked, TJ Ford dribbled the ball halfway, made tactical gestures, sought the cooperation of his teammates, and dared not mess around again.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw head coach Rick Barnes standing on the sidelines, staring at him. If he dared to mess around, he would be scolded.

With the pick-and-roll ready, TJ Ford made a quick start and broke into the paint.

Dinar fought his way through the screen and chased desperately behind.At the same time, center Maynard has returned to the basket and is ready to defend.

Li Xuan, who was near the middle distance on the right, also retreated quickly, ready to help defend.

TJ Ford saw that he was about to be double-teamed by three people, and only one side had no defenders, so he could pass the ball, so he chose to pass the ball directly without thinking too much.

At this time, a long arm appeared in the passing lane of TJ Ford and intercepted the basketball.

This was intentionally done by Li Xuan and his team. They specially set up a trap for TJ Ford, forcing him to pass the ball and make a mistake.

After a successful steal, Wade turned around quickly, rushed forward, made an emergency stop and changed direction without slowing down, passed the defender, rushed into the penalty area and scored 2 points with an easy layup.

TJ Ford looked at Li Xuan's group who were smiling and high-fiving each other, knowing that he was being targeted, he walked towards the baseline in resentment, ready to catch the ball and get back on the field.
