whirlwind basketball

Chapter 194 Youth Competition (9)

The two figures approached quickly, but the speed still did not slow down. With a sound of "snap!" the basketball in Li Yifan's hand hit the ground and bounced out behind him, but his forward body continued to press towards Jia Siqi.Under conditioned reflex, Jia Siqi involuntarily took half a step back——

Just behind this, a figure behind grabbed the rebounding basketball and jumped up, "Boom!" There was a violent tremor of the basket, and the basketball was smashed into the basket hard--slam dunk!
The youth training team point guard Long Xun dunked.

Li Yifan dribbled the ball for a fast break, and point guard Long Xun followed up to catch the ball and dunk. The youth training team had a fast break this time.With a heavy slam dunk, the momentum of the youth training team is now fully up.

"Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded, and the coach of the Brazilian team called a timeout.

If it is not called a timeout at this time to suppress the momentum of the youth training team, the head coach of Brazil should go home and hold the child.

13:4, the gap widened to nine points.

On the court, Long Xun and Li Yifan slapped each other with four palms, and a smile appeared on their stern faces at this moment.Due to location,

On the other side of the earth, bursts of enthusiastic cheers erupted in front of the TVs one after another, and many excited fans even jumped out of bed.The youth training team completed a perfect fast break, and the most important first protagonist of this fast break was Li Yifan!
He really is too good.

Although these few goals are not enough to say how advanced his absolute strength must be, the excited fans would rather believe in their intuition at the moment: this young player in front of him will definitely become the world's top defender in the future.

After the timeout ends, the game restarts.

Brazil slowed down the pace of attack, apparently to control the rhythm of the game.The youth training team is still a four-one defense.Li Yifan marks the man on the line and the other four play zone defense. This is the traditional tactic of national basketball teams at all levels.The youth training team has never lacked excellent tall players, and the scheduling of inside players has indeed accumulated a lot of experience.Zhang Fatzi and Zhang Shaolong are both tall, proficient in the basket, and slow-moving inside players. This kind of zone defense is the formation that can best exert their defensive power.

Although the tactics are the same, the situation on the field still makes the fans feel fresh and new-the peripheral cover.Li Yifan defended Aruba with his fast speed and flexible movements, and his erratic movements could always block Aruba's threatening passing routes.After several failed breakthroughs, Aruba had no choice but to pass the ball to Jia Siqi who came to meet him.The Brazilian players developed a good pass coordination, and the inside center seized the opportunity to send the ball to the basket.

No matter how good the defense is on the basketball court, it cannot completely prevent the opponent from scoring.In the game, the team's defense is good, but it can only be said to limit the opponent's scoring to a certain number of points.The defense of the youth training team can be called a good word.At least the commentators on the TV shouted: "Okay, okay, the defense of the youth training team was good this time. Although the opponent scored in the end, it was scored by the Brazilian player with his personal ability. The help defense of the inside players The position is very good, and Li Yifan's peripheral screen work is also very good. Especially for the defense of the opponent Aruba, even if the opponent wants to get the position, he cannot receive the pass. When he receives the ball, he has no chance to shoot. It seems that the head coach Wang Tao has really worked hard on defense. Now let’s look at the offense of the youth training team. Hey, the youth training team seems to have changed their offensive tactics. Li Yifan played point guard and Long Xun played shooting guard. Coach Wang Tao may have expected that Brazil would block Li Yifan’s scoring point, so he simply let him play the point guard position, and Long Xun is also a guard who can control the ball and score. Let’s take a look at the tactical change of the youth training team What effect will it have? Let's see how the young player Li Yifan will perform at the point guard position..."

On the court, Brazil also changed their defense and adopted a zone defense.When Li Yifan, who was in possession of the ball, dribbled the ball near their three-point line, he was immediately flanked by two opposing guards.Double-team defense?Surrounded by two opponents who were more than ten centimeters taller than him, Li Yifan seemed overwhelmed by the fact that he threw the ball to Long Xun beside him.

After all, it is still too tender.Some of the Brazilian players on the field were already thinking this way.

"Caution, danger!" a Brazilian shouted.A short figure had already completed a split with Long Xun beside him, and rushed to the inside with a basketball.

"Pa, pa..." After two quick dribbles, the figure rushed past the blocking player, and the other players in the interior hurriedly came to fill their positions. This defensive formation has completely collapsed. "Cough!" The basketball was thrown high from his hands Go, fly to the backboard.

Is it a shot?

A figure rose from the basket and grabbed the basketball in the air, "Boom!" The backboard trembled violently, the basketball dunked into the basket with both hands, and the huge figure that dunked gently fell—it was Fatty Zhang!
Alley catch dunk!

"Beautiful!" The commentator's loud cheers sounded on the TV.

It was so beautiful, countless fans waved their fists in front of the TV.

Demolitions, breakthroughs, points, and finally catching and dunking in the air, there is tactical cooperation, as well as the display of personal skills. The last pass and dunk are full of imagination.The entire offense of the youth training team is flowing and unrestrained, reasonable and smooth but even more exciting.

On the court, Li Yifan raised his hand, Zhang Fatty lowered his head, and slapped each other with four palms. The two players recruited by coach Wang Tao were the most dazzling stars on the court at the moment.

On the sidelines of the court, coach Wang Tao leaned on the chair relaxedly, with a relaxed face: Now, no one will question anything anymore!

The game continued, and the brave youth team continued to wreak havoc on the opponent's basket. On the court, Li Yifan galloped recklessly in the opponent's defensive zone, smashing the opponent's defense to pieces.

In the 5th minute of the first quarter, Long Xun received a three-pointer from Li Yifan and sent the basketball to the basket.

At 30 minutes and [-] seconds, Li Yifan passed the ball from the right line. The basketball passed over the heads of the inside players and found Jiang Dongyu on the left three-point line. Jiang Dongyu made another three-pointer

At six minutes and five seconds, Zhang Shaolong caught the ball and dunked successfully
……

In the 7th minute, Zhang Shaolong missed a shot from outside the penalty area. Brazil's [-]-meter tall center Okafor caught a defensive rebound with one hand. He rushed to the basket, and the silhouette grabbed the basketball in Okafor's hands from behind with both hands, and continued to glide to the basket, "Boom!" With heavy dunks with both hands, the basketball was dunked heavily into the basket.

On the TV screen, the figure hanging from the basket seemed to be riding on Okafor who was 8 meters tall.Let go of your hand, the figure gently falls to the ground, the camera zooms in, and the number on the screen is exactly [-]!
No. 8 - Li Yifan!
Li Yifan?How can it be?Is it possible to snatch the basketball from the [-]-meter giant Okafor and then dunk it?Nonsense, it has already happened!
"Hey..." The earth-shattering applause on the field.

"Beautiful, so beautiful..." The narrator on the TV was a little incoherent, and the scene just now was replayed in slow motion on the screen.

The fans in front of the TV danced and cheered hysterically.

At Li Yifan's house, Chen Ang, who knew a little about basketball, danced and shouted excitedly: "Well done son!"

Jiang Dongyu listened to the constant cheers on the TV, and looked at Li Yifan surrounded by all the team members on the screen, with a bright smile on his face.

"Flute..." Brazil paused for the second time.

At this time, the score on the court was 23:17, and the youth training team led by six points.

Being dunked on top of one's head is a shame and humiliation to anyone, especially when the other party is a teenager who is nearly [-] centimeters shorter than himself. Okafor's feeling of humiliation quickly spreads in his heart.He stared fiercely at this nasty Li Yifan and hated his fate.In fact, he is one of the best players in the Brazilian team so far, but I don't know if anyone remembers this slam dunk.

During the timeout, the coaches of both sides seized the time to arrange tactics.

When the players from both sides returned to the court, the audience found that Li Yifan had been replaced by the youth training team.There are still three quarters to come, and it is also necessary to switch to adjust your physical strength.Fans and commentators take it for granted.

Li Yifan on the bench peeked at coach Wang Tao, and muttered, "What are you doing, just replace me."

"Stupid!" Coach Wang Tao slapped him on the head with a blow, "If you hadn't acted so arrogantly, would I have replaced you? You are riding on top of someone and dunking, and now they are thinking about how to abolish you Woolen cloth?"

Covering his head, Li Yifan didn't dare to say anything, but he was wondering in his heart: When did I become arrogant?Haven't even yelled "I'm a genius" at the camera!
The game restarted on the court. Under Long Xun's organization, the youth training team firmly controlled the situation on the court with constant passing and pick-and-roll cooperation.Fatty Zhang on the inside and Jiang Dongyu on the inside and outside were the most active. The two scored almost all the points for the youth training team.

However, even the most layman fans can find that when Li Yifan was on the court just now, the youth training team seemed to lack something.

What is missing?

On TV, the two narrators analyzed it for a long time and came to the conclusion that they lacked the feeling of being invincible just now.

Li Yifan was on the court, playing from the outside to the inside, disrupting the opponent's defense, "Boom boom boom..." Fatty Zhang can always catch the ball and blast the opponent's basket every time when no one is defending.When Li Yifan was on the court, the Brazilian players on the inside and outside line were running around to plug the loopholes, and Zhang Shaolong's defensive players dared to shoot after receiving the ball.When Li Yifan was on the field, the youth training team only needed about six or seven seconds to complete an attack. Now the players on the youth training team have become patient all of a sudden, passing left and right, and they always take shots when the time is almost up. .Although it is not ruled out that this is the coach's tactical arrangement, and it is difficult to say that there is something wrong with such an attack, the fans would rather see the attack just now, full of vigor and invincibility.

The reason for so many differences is just changing one player.

God, so many differences are all because of him?
Until now, the fans have only a little understanding of what Li Yifan's performance just a few minutes ago means.It is only now that everyone knows why he was able to replace Wang Siyang in the starting lineup - he indeed surpassed Wang Siyang in all aspects!

Before the end of the first quarter, coach Wang Tao made another substitution, replacing Fatty Zhang and Jiang Dongyu inside.The attack power of the youth training team has not been reduced by replacing the two main scoring points at once.The replaced Jiang Shaoping and Smith are both strong players, both of whom are characterized by fast enough speed.After the substitution, the youth training team quickly accelerated the pace of the game, with long passes and fast breaks. They scored a score of 1:4 within 0 minute. When the Brazilian players adapted to the rhythm of the youth training team, the first quarter ended.

30:21, the youth training team ended the first quarter with a nine-point advantage.

In the second quarter, Ma Feifei replaced Long Xun on the youth training team, and Li Yifan continued to play the point guard position.At the beginning of the game, Brazil accelerated the pace of the game and actively played and cooperated. Forward Zahit was in a brave state and made several catches and shots near the free throw line.On the side of the youth training team, Fatty Zhang received the ball and was double-teamed, and the ball was in Jiang Dongyu's hands, and he missed several shots by mistake.The ups and downs of one and the other turned out to be played by the opponent to a small climax of 8:0.Coach Wang Tao called a timeout in time, Long Xun returned to the court, and Li Yifan returned to the position of shooting guard again.During the timeout, coach Wang Tao had only one instruction to Li Yifan: score with all his strength.There is only one instruction for the other players: take Li Yifan as the center to score points.This is tantamount to establishing the core position of Li Yifan's tactics.

Going all out to score points is tantamount to pushing Li Yifan from a guard to a small forward.After being relieved of the burden of organizing the offense, the members of the youth training team have not really experienced how deep Li Yifan's offense is.

Naturally, the Brazilian team has never seen it before.

Outside the three-point line, Li Yifan received the pass from Long Xun and raised his hand to shoot.In the first half, I saw his three-for-three long-range shooting skills. The Brazilian team could not be careful. They raised their hands and stretched their bodies to block the prepared shots.He was still very experienced and didn't jump up, but his heels were already slightly off the ground under conditioned reflex.

At this time, "Pa, pa..." The foot suddenly accelerated, and Li Yifan had rushed into the inside line in a blink of an eye.The Brazilian team adopts a man-to-man defense. Under the intentional distance of the youth training players, only the inside center Okafor can fill in and help the defense at this moment.

The enemy's eyes were red when they met, and Okafor opened his hands and rushed towards the basketball in Li Yifan's hand, intending to cover him up.

Stepping into the restricted area, Li Yifan jumped up, and Okafor jumped up at the same time, his huge figure with his arms outstretched completely covered Li Yifan's small body.

No chance at all?Spectators outside the stadium and in front of the TV

He bent his knees in the air, changed hands, and threw the ball. A basketball exclaimed in the figure went straight up and passed through Okafor's arms, and bounced slightly on the backboard.

Score!

"Beautiful, so beautiful..." The cheers on the TV yelled again, "Facing an opponent who is [-] centimeters taller than me, it's really amazing to be able to easily send the ball into the basket. This time The ball is completely a manifestation of Li Yifan's personal ability. He has performed very well so far, and I did not expect him to have such a wonderful performance. His strength is simply unfathomable..."

With both feet down, Li Yifan didn't even look at the tall opponent behind him, and he couldn't possibly hear the narrator's yell on TV. He turned around, and didn't even make a gesture of celebration, back to defense!

……

Li Yifan didn't think there was anything special about sending the basketball into the opponent's basket after passing the opponent more than two meters away, but in the eyes of other members of the youth training team, it was extremely unbelievable.Several people on the field rushed over with a cheer.Jiang Dongyu hugged Li Yifan's neck strangely, Zhang Fatty's big hands excitedly rubbed the hair on his forehead.Zhang Shaolong originally wanted to rush over, but Li Yifan's small body was completely surrounded by two huge strong men, so he could only look at Li Yifan in the middle with a smile on the left and right side of Long Xun.This scene was captured by the camera and transmitted to the TV through the TV signal. The fans on the other side of the world could also feel the brother-in-law relationship between Jiang Dongyu, Zhang Fatzi and Li Yifan.The only exception might be Yu Mengjiao. She stared at it for a long time and then asked: Is this also part of the basketball game? With a sound of "Puchi", Chen Ang, who was drinking tea, spewed out all the tea.

On the court, the Brazilian team did not take the opportunity to launch a fast break.Okafor's frowning expression made the Brazilian coach on the bench very worried. Before the end of the first half, he had committed three fouls, so he hesitated a little and replaced him.Little did he know that he had just missed an excellent opportunity to attack.

Under the roar of coach Wang Tao on the sidelines, the youth training team finally remembered that they were still in the game and hurried back to defend.Li Yifan straightened his hair messed up by Fatty Zhang while returning to defense, and when he turned around, he was a bright and sunny boy again.It can be seen that in the eyes of Okafor off the court, there is a particularly hateful Li Yifan.No wonder he was angry. Li Yifan's two most exciting goals of the game made Okafor lose face.Sitting down on the court, Okafor thought hard about how to teach this nasty Li Yifan a lesson.Unfortunately, this match is destined to belong to Li Yifan.God is partial to him today.On the court, Brazilian defender Jia Siqi and the center forward who had just been replaced made a mistake in cooperation, and the basketball was cut off by Li Yifan.

Li Yifan dribbled the ball for a long distance, relied on his speed to get rid of the opponent's tall players, and made an easy layup under the basket to complete the first one-stop in the game.

34:29, the score opened again.

Once again, the narrator's warm applause sounded on the TV, "Good, beautiful..." The applause vocabulary of the two narrators seemed to be very poor, and they seemed to know nothing else except to say two words.But no audience would care if they spoke incoherently. At this moment, most audiences really couldn't think of other adjectives besides these two words in their minds.

Brazilian basketball is a typical American basketball, focusing on tactics and teamwork.One of the very obvious features is the non-stop transfer of the ball, the players keep running, and pass the ball to create reasonable shooting opportunities.The revived Brazilian players on the court are perfectly showing this style.However, veteran fans with sharp eyes will find that there are not one American-style teams on the court at this moment, but two!On the court, the youth training team suddenly abandoned the usual four-one defense. The five players on the court actively interspersed and ran, pressing and fighting.

"Three-two mixed defense!" The commentary consultant on TV broke the fog.

Yes, the youth training team is using a three-two mixed defense at this time, which is exactly the tactic used by the US team in the last game.For more than a month of training for the youth training team, he has been the main defensive tactic of the exercise.At this moment, it is finally time to see the sun behind the clouds and show it.

On the field, the youth training team is moving fast, using speed against speed, double-teaming to limit the opponent's fast pass, and actively pressing to suppress the opponent's personal ability. Supporting the entire inside line of the youth training team, Li Yifan and Long Xun on the outside line limited the speed of the two Brazilian defenders on the outside line with fast moving speed. The defense of the entire youth training team was completely new!
Still the same sentence, on the basketball court, no matter how good the defense is, it cannot completely block the opponent's offense. After repeated passes and cooperation, the Brazilian power forward relied on his strong body to support Zhang Shaolong, and after receiving the ball, he hooked and threw it. Respond into the basket.This is the American-style basketball. When the overall cooperation is emphasized, the players do not lose their individual skills.Delicate technique and accurate shooting, every player on the court may complete a fatal blow.

It is always easy to discourage players from defending until the opponent succeeds in the end, but the youth training players on the court are obviously an exception.After receiving the ball, Li Yifan took the lead and rushed into the opponent's court with the ball.

"Crack!" Facing the opponent's defender, his body moved laterally to the left while the basketball was passed from behind to Jiang Dongyu's hands. Jiang Dongyu caught the ball, raised his hand, faked his opponent, rushed into the inside and raised his hand to shoot. Actions.The Brazilian power forward leaped up to block the shot, "Crack!" The basketball in his hand flew across and flew towards the left three-point line. Li Yifan, who was throwing his opponent there, had already arrived there.Catches the ball, jumps up, raises his hand to shoot, "Shua!" A clear sound hits the net, a three-pointer!
"Beautiful!" The commentator's cheers sounded again on the TV (this one again?), and continued after the cheers, "Jiang Dongyu passed the ball beautifully, and Li Yifan shot the ball beautifully. It didn't have the slightest impact because of the four years." He actually knew that Li Yifan and Jiang Dongyu were ordinary teammates?
Back on the court, the youth training team’s active double-teaming and forward defense finally worked this time. After the Brazilian forward missed a shot, Zhang Shaolong picked up the rebound, and with a long pass, the ball reached Long Xun’s hands.

Fight back quickly!
Li Yifan from the youth training team had already crossed the center line first. When Long Xun sent the ball in front of him, there was only Jia Siqi in front of him.Jia Siqi desperately tried to limit Li Yifan's speed.But this game is destined to belong to the 19-year-old Li Yifan. Like his teammate Okafor, Jia Siqi once again completed Li Yifan's wonderful performance with his failure.
