New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 67 2-2-1 Zone Defense
"In the first half, let Escarlo, the combo guard, practice as a substitute, and then let the main attacker Zhang Yi solve the battle in the second half? No matter how you think about it, Wacker, what the hell are you thinking?"

Little Foyo was used to seeing opponents use all kinds of tricks, but he had never seen someone who played cards like Wacker.

"Have such two strong points but don't allow them to play at the same time to expand the advantage. Since you want to lose, then let us Gonzaga help you!"

In the second half, he didn't even overdo the bench and went straight to the full lineup.

For the Bruins, Robert played shooting guard and Zhang Yi played small forward, which happened to meet Fleck and Austin.

"Why didn't you let that Escalio play?" Fleck asked while defending Robert.

I saw Robert sneer and replied, "I'm enough to deal with you!"

"What are you proud of? Do you think you can pass my defense?" Fleck suddenly swung his hand and cut into Robert's blind spot and almost succeeded in stealing the ball...

At this time, Robert took advantage of the opponent's hand to steal the ball to give up half of his position, and immediately changed direction and flashed into the baseline.

Fleck looked back, and there was no room for Robert to make a shot near the crowded baseline.

Just as he thought, Robert only dribbled to the basket, and passed the basketball with a backhand at a nearly zero-degree angle...

Suddenly, a Bruins player in a dark jersey rushed from the free throw line and caught the ball in twos.

"Impossible! Auston didn't keep up?" Fleck took a closer look, and it was Zhang Yi, the boy from the East, who was following up!
He held the ball against two defenders, dodged the space in the gap, and dunked the basketball backhand!

"Good shot! Spectators, this player is Zhang Yi, an oriental boy from Grand Duke!"

The host excitedly introduced his name to the audience.

Fleck didn't know what happened, and immediately rushed to Auston and asked, "Why didn't you follow him!"

"I was blocked by their power forward... I didn't expect that those guys were completely planned to create opportunities for Zhang Yi..."

Austin said coldly. "In my opinion, the black man you defended didn't want to make a shot from the beginning, and the reason he went to the bottom line was to assist!"

Only then did Fleck come to his senses, "No wonder that guy is standing at the shooting guard position and doing what seems like a point guard's job?"

Little Fuyou watched his two most proud disciples discussing something quietly on the field, and he knew that those two people would definitely find a solution.

When it came to the Bulldogs' offensive round, the tactics were still simple, that is, Fleck and Auston took turns to attack. The only difference was that Auston didn't find a chance to make a move against Zhang Yi for more than ten seconds at this point.

Reluctantly, it was finally passed to Fleck, who forced a three-pointer and ended up hitting the iron.

After the Bruins took off the board, they immediately looked for Robert, and saw that he and Zhang Yi fought against each other very quickly.

Although the Bulldogs can be regarded as the fifth, but the weight of the center is there, the speed is not fast.

When Zhang Yi and Robert rushed into the opponent's penalty area, Fleck and others hadn't completely fallen into the defensive position.

"Want to score on me? No way!" Fleck yelled at Robert, his hands open to defend.

I saw that Robert did not respond, but instead passed the ball backwards to Zhang Yi who followed up.

Austin's defensive range is very large, and because he is a head taller than Zhang Yi, extending his long arms should affect the accuracy of his shots.

But Zhang Yi stopped outside the three-point line, quickly dribbled the ball to warm up his hands, and chased for three-pointers!
Facing his sudden shot, Austin tiptoed without taking off, but he still sealed Zhang Yi's face, showing the horror of his height and wingspan.

After the basketball shot, Zhang Yi gave Robert a high-five to celebrate.In the next second, the ball hits!The Bruins evened the point difference in an instant after chasing five points in a row.

The enthusiasm of the home audience was ignited by Zhang Yi's dunk and one shot. The host took the lead, and everyone shouted Zhang Yi's name!
Fuyo immediately called a timeout. Although he is used to letting the players solve problems on the field, this situation requires him to intervene to stabilize the mood.

"How did you defend?" Fleck was obviously dissatisfied with Auston's performance. In his opinion, how can he block the opponent's three-pointer without jumping?
Austin shook his head and said, "You don't know how fast that guy dribbles, and he shot before I even realized it!"

"Hmph, are you starting to blow up your opponent now?" Fleck's words suddenly stimulated Auston, and the two grabbed each other's jerseys.

"Hey, the game's not over yet! Remember what I said? Infighting is the ugliest show on a basketball court, you two want to be the laughing stock of the All-Americans?"

Xiao Fuyou calmly persuaded, and his teammates also divided them.

Fleck scratched his hair and sat down on the bench, while Austin asked his coach, "What should I do?"

"Council defense! The opponent only has Zhang Yi and Robert as two offensive points, so focus on taking care of them!"

Little Fuyou said categorically, and in order to deal with this kind of single or double arrow team, he also specially improved the lineup.

Take down the short center and replace it with a high post.Replace the point guard with a faster defensive player.

Playing again, although Fleck and Auston didn't have much communication, but little Fuyou knew that every time there was a fight, the two of them would become stronger and more focused!

During the offense, the Bulldogs waited for the high center forward to land, and decisively lobbed into the penalty area.

"I will definitely win this game!" Austin suddenly said in front of Zhang Yi. As soon as his words fell, the center had already completed a layup and stabilized the situation.

Zhang Yi laughed, because the voice of Auston's height was a bit immature, and life was full of contrasts.

The Bruins attacked, and Robert dribbled the ball across halftime, only to find that the defense on the opposite side had become a 2-3 zone defense.

"Could it be that Zhang Yi has made three-pointers against the defense and wants to play zone defense?" The host was also a little confused when he saw the Bulldogs' defense change.

Zhang Yi has a three-pointer, but the zone defense prepared by Xiao Fuyou can not only defend the air defense against the inside line, but also defend the outside line...

Unlike the one and two positions outside, the three, four and five positions are inside.The Bulldogs moved the nimble but undersized point guard to the [-], out of the zone, while Fleck and Austin played [-] and [-] instead.

Facing such a defensive line, it is difficult for Robert to lob the ball inside first.

Secondly, although the defensive effect is not as good as that of Austin, Zhang Yi is constantly harassed by opponents and it is difficult to catch the ball.

The Bulldogs' zone defense can be regarded as a 2-2 zone defense, the fastest and most flexible one to bite the strength of the opponent's striker.

"I see!" Wacker rubbed his chin, "Little Fuyu's name as a master tactician is indeed well-deserved!"

Even after breaking free from the opponent's defense, Zhang Yi received the basketball, but immediately Auston double-teamed him, making him unable to make a shot.

No matter how Robert moves, the formation of the Bulldogs is not chaotic at all.

"What a terrible tactical execution. Is this really college basketball?" the host exclaimed. The Bulldogs only showed their strength at this moment.

Although the NCAA's offensive time is 30 seconds, Zhang Yi had no choice but to rush to strike the iron because he couldn't find a way to break the defense...

"See, victory belongs to us!" Auston repeated in Zhang Yi's ear.

I saw Zhang Yi burst out laughing, "Your voice should be in a children's drama!"

Hearing this, Auston's face darkened, "I hate people mocking my voice the most!"

It's a world where someone keeps a child's voice after a voice changer.It's just that Austin took this incident as a shame, which is why he seldom speaks on the court...

"Bet the name of the bulldog! Watch me tear you apart!"
