Chapter 257 Broken Lineup

Both sides have realized the number of fouls committed by each other, and then shifted the focus of the game from offensive and defensive confrontation to creating fouls.

If fouls can be used to knock out one or two players from the opponent, it will be very favorable conditions for the team to win.

There are three main types of fouls:
The first type of offensive foul, when the basketball is in a live state during the game, the offensive player takes the initiative to have illegal physical contact with the opponent. In this case, the referee will whistle the offensive foul.

The second type of defensive foul, there are many kinds of fouls, generally refers to the defensive player's unreasonable blocking during the opponent's attack, or when the offensive player shoots the ball or violates the opponent's cylinder, etc., will be regarded as a defensive foul.

The third type is a technical foul, which is determined based on the referee's subjective judgment.

In the above three foul situations, except that the technical foul is counted on the player itself, the other two can be imposed on the opponent.

The biggest hidden danger of the third middle school is that their two inside players, Su Miao and Chen Xin, both fouled twice. This is a big crisis for inside players, and it will make players timid when defending.

"Chen Xin and Su Miao both fouled twice." Qiu Fei reminded his teammates.

"Understood." The teammate knew what he meant, so he responded.

Next, the attached middle school will launch an attack on the inside line of the third middle school, and it depends on whether these two people can resist.

"Chen Mo, you should also be careful." Sun Jiawei nodded to Chen Mo, "You also have a lot of fouls."

Similarly, the inside line of the attached high school will also be the key attack target of the third middle school, but there is one difference, that is, Chen Mo is the only pure inside player in the attached high school. If he encounters foul trouble, the inside line of the attached high school will lose an important pillar.

"So we must protect Chen Mo." Chen Mo instantly became the key protection object of the attached middle school.

The game continued. On the surface, the two teams seemed to be calm, but in fact they had their own ulterior motives. They wanted to foul each other after holding back their stomachs.

Mu Chenfeng is not a person who is good at disguising himself. As soon as he comes up, he poses a threat to the inside line of the attached high school. He uses the change of rhythm to easily pass the defender, and then goes straight to the basket to challenge Chen Mo.

"He wants to make a foul?" Chen Mo subconsciously took a step back, watching the opponent score a layup.

Fouls really make players worry when defending. At this time, it is better to give the opponent two points than to pay for the foul. The lost points can be recovered. If there are enough fouls, the game will not be played.

"It looks like we're thinking of getting together again." Qiu Fei murmured, "I didn't expect them to realize this so soon."

The offense of the attached middle school is also very clear, that is, it keeps attacking the inside line of the third middle school, but it does not explicitly target Chen Xin or Su Miao, and there is no need to target it. As long as it can cause fouls by any of them, it is worthwhile.

Qiu Fei had already rushed to the basket, but he didn't make a shot, but was looking for an opportunity to make a foul.

"Why did he stop? The front shot is so smooth. If he lays up directly, he will definitely score." Wu Di said puzzled.

"He didn't want to score, but to draw a foul." Zhan Yang said it out.

"Foul?? Why? Wouldn't it be better to score directly?"

"Mu Chenfeng and Qiu Fei are both forward-looking players. Their eyes are not only on the score in front of them, but on the result of the game. Both sides have a lot of fouls inside. Any whistle may affect the direction of the game. Any player standing on the field is a potential threat. The best way to eliminate the threat is to remove the threat from the field."

Chen Xin and Su Miao didn't fight hard, but stood in place and raised their arms high, not giving Qiu Fei a chance to foul himself.

Both teams' first chances to draw fouls ended in failure.

"It's not that easy to make a foul." The intention of the middle school's play is too obvious.

"In short, no matter what, we can't let them cause us to foul, otherwise the game will be very difficult." Li Yao said seriously, as the only player on the field who didn't foul again, he seemed very proud.

"If the captain and Chen Xin go down first, the goal would be too big if the two of them are present at the same time," Li Yao suggested.

"No." As soon as the words came out, Mu Chenfeng was the first to stand up and retort, "Substitute one, and the target of the attached middle school will be more clear. It will definitely attack the one who stays on the field to the death. It will be slightly better if two people stay on the field at the same time."

"I agree with Mu Chenfeng's statement. As long as we get rid of Chen Mo faster than them, the crisis of fouling will be easily resolved." Ye Lin said.

"That's right, the top priority now is to get rid of Chen Mo first, but that kid seems to have known our purpose. He seemed to be avoiding me on purpose when I just made a layup." Mu Chenfeng turned his head to look at Chen Mo, this big guy's progress was much greater than expected.

"Then keep hitting him, I don't believe he can escape all of them."

The third middle school decided to continue to implement the tactics of attacking Chen Mo.

"Huh?" Before Mu Chenfeng received the ball, he felt a strong sense of oppression coming from behind him. He turned his head and saw that Qiu Fei was standing behind him, keeping a very ambiguous distance from him.

"Damn, it's too close." Mu Chenfeng was taken aback, and complained.

"Not close, not close." Qiu Fei laughed.

It is man-to-man defense again, and the defensive tactics of the attached middle school are always changing, which is really elusive.

"They are deliberately compressing the offensive time of the three."

Qiu Fei followed Mu Chenfeng all the way through the half court, and then entered the defensive position. Mu Chenfeng took a look, locked Chen Mo's position, and gave Li Yao a look. Li Yao rushed over to set him a pick and roll.

"A pick-and-roll of this level wants to pass me? Don't look down on me." Qiu Fei turned around and skipped Li Yao's pick-and-roll.

Li Yao stood alone on the spot, there was no pick-and-roll worse than this one, without any sense of existence.

Qiu Fei was not thrown off, but stuck closer, using his body to form a wall, forcing Mu Chenfeng to the outside, keeping him as far away from Chen Mo as possible.

Mu Chenfeng suddenly changed direction with his crotch, pulled the ball back, and stopped for a jump shot. Qiu Fei hurriedly adjusted his defense and rushed up.

"The rhythm is wrong!" Qiu Fei took his hand back halfway through the jump, and Mu Chenfeng made a jump shot and hit it.

Although the goal was scored, Mu Chenfeng's expression was not happy at all.

"Qiu Fei gave way again? Could this be match-fixing?" someone questioned.

"Shut up if you don't understand the ball." Xu Kai said angrily, "It was obvious that Mu Chenfeng wanted to foul the ball, and Qiu Fei stopped when he saw his intention at the last moment."

Recalling the ball just now, Qiu Fei still has lingering fears. Fortunately, he chose to stop at the last moment, otherwise, the number of fouls on him now would be 3 instead of 2.
"This guy is too scary." Qiu Fei, who had escaped, couldn't help feeling emotional, "We thought their goal was silence, but Mu Chenfeng's goal was all of us. Don't take it lightly, and avoid fouls."

Mu Chenfeng was not reconciled to missing the perfect opportunity to knock out the opponent's main force, but he knew very well that if he missed this opportunity, there would be no next time.

The late foul finally came. When Chen Mo was stuck with Chen Xin at the basket, he knocked Chen Xin to the ground with too much force and got his third foul.

Chen Xin was bigger than Chen Mo in terms of size, but he was knocked down in the box. Anyone with long eyes would not choose to believe this situation, but the referee only used the scene to speak.

Chen Mo slowly raised his right hand and claimed the foul. Only three fouls allowed the game to continue, but out of consideration for the entire game, the coach needs to make a replacement at this time. If you wait until the fourth foul to make a replacement, it will be too late.

Coach Gong Xun activated the substitution quota and replaced Chen Mo from the field.

Without the pillar of the inside line, the inside line of the attached middle school will be completely exploded, so Sun Jiawei used flexible footwork to move away from Su Miao, turned around and attacked the basket, Chen Xin came up to defend, but Sun Jiawei caused a defensive foul.

Chen Xin also received his third personal foul. Coach Fang Tianzheng also replaced him with Zhou Nan who hadn't played for a long time.

The center forwards of the two sides face off, it can be said that both sides are hurt or everyone is happy, at least the two will not be seen in the first half.

The lineup depth of the two sides was lowered by a notch at the same time, and the game also entered a fierce battle. Without the inside pillar, the two teams lost their dominance in rebounding in an instant.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced high. Sun Jiawei and Su Miao blocked each other and grabbed the rebound. Just as the two were fighting, Mu Chenfeng jumped up and received the rebound.

"Fast break!" Mu Chenfeng dribbled the ball forward quickly, and the players without the ball rushed into the half court of the attached middle school, occupying all the favorable positions. As long as the ball can pass, they are fully sure to throw the ball in.

boom!
Qiu Fei fell to the ground, and Mu Chenfeng froze on the spot.

beep~
"No. 9 of No. [-] Middle School made an offensive foul, and the middle school has the right to the ball!"

Qiu Fei took the first step to stand in a favorable position, and successfully caused Mu Chenfeng's offensive foul, but wasted the perfect positioning of the third middle school players, because of a whistle, everything came to naught.

Qiu Fei made a "Y" gesture to Mu Chenfeng, which not only represented "victory" but also told Mu Chenfeng that this was his second foul.

The teammate ran over and pulled Qiu Fei up from the ground, "It's really not easy to foul you once." Qiu Fei clutched his chest and coughed lightly.

"I didn't expect you to really dare to stand there." Mu Chenfeng also admired Qiu Fei's courage when he committed a foul. If other people had encountered such a quick impact, they would have won it far away.

"It's worth it to exchange this pain for a foul." Qiu Fei smiled, he finally felt the same pain as Chen Mo, Mu Chenfeng's body was already so strong that it was so terrifying, a light bump made his whole body sore.

Before the No. [-] Middle School got back in place, Qiu Fei single-handedly killed him. Without waiting for his teammates, he ignored all defenses and went straight to the basket. It was too late for Su Miao to turn around, and subconsciously reached out to interfere. Seeing this, Qiu Fei rushed to meet him.

On the defensive end, Mu Chenfeng's foul was a red light, and on the offensive end, Su Miao temporarily graduated in a daze.

In just 2 minutes, the third middle school lost two major insiders one after another, and the other main player also had two fouls. The remaining five minutes in the first half will be difficult for the third middle school.
