basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 212
In this game, the two teams continued to use the usual starting lineup. The Wolves were Lan Feng, Luo Mang, Lu Qian, Han Bin and Lin Sen, while the Red Bull players included Guo Hui, Li Wu and Lennarn. And the point guards are still Horn and Kuhn.

After the opening ceremony, players from both sides appeared one after another.

The whistle sounded and the ball was scrambled in midfield.

Luo Mang reacted quickly. As soon as the ball left the referee's hand, he flew into the air and gave the ball to Han Bin first.

Han Bin dribbled the ball across the half court and handed the ball to Lin Sen to stop him, while he started running and took away Guo Hui who was defending him.

Facing Kuhn, Lin Sen smiled maliciously, "It's you again, aren't you afraid of being blown up by me?"

Kuhn frowned and didn't speak.

Lin Sen stopped talking nonsense and began to remind his teammates to run tactics.

Both Lan Feng and Luo Mang mentioned the high position to pick and roll for him, and brought out the opponent's inside players.

However, Han Bin and Lu Qian went straight into the opponent's inner line, leading Guo Hui and Li Wu's two defenses to sink to the Red Bull's three-second zone. In this way, the defensive strength of Red Bull's outer line was greatly reduced.

Lin Sen used the pick-and-roll to break through quickly and went straight into the opponent's hinterland. Guo Hui and Li Wu wanted to rush to help defend, but were blocked by Han Bin and Lu Qian. When they bypassed the defense, Lin Sen was already one step inside the free throw line Take off and shoot easily, and hit two points steadily.

The role of the offseason training has been highlighted from the first round. Now Lin Sen no longer blindly seeks to play fast or look good. After he has a stable mid-range shot, he seems to play with ease.

After scoring the goal, Lin Sen began to twitch, and smiled slightly at Kuhn who was chasing him, "I told you that you can't guard me, how about it, do you need to try again in the next round?"

"Don't get complacent too early." Kuhn frowned, turned and walked back to the baseline to catch the ball.

In the past, Lu Ziqiu would have let them press from the very beginning, but this season he is confident in facing the Red Bulls, so he did not adopt this style of play that kills one thousand and hurts eight hundred.

The Red Bull pushed steadily across the half. Lin Sen pressed hard on Kuhn, who was holding the ball. Kuhn didn't want to tangle with him, so he passed the ball quickly as soon as Lin Sen came up.

Guo Hui did not choose to break through after getting the ball, but hoisted the ball into the inside.

Lennarn received the ball and began to slash back, but he couldn't cut Luo Mang behind him at all. In desperation, he could only rely on Luo Mang, and then chose to turn over and jump shot. Although Luo Mang couldn't block his ball, he also interfered. he.

The ball bounced out of the frame, and was firmly confiscated by Lan Feng, who was stuck.

Lin Sen went to respond, and after catching the ball, he started to push for a fast break without saying a word. Han Bin, Lu Qian and Luo Mang fired three arrows at once, but Red Bull retreated quickly.

This time, Lin Sen lobbed the ball to Lu Qian. Although Li Wu had a strong defensive ability, he couldn't withstand Lu Qian's back attack at all.

Seeing this, Kuhn quickly rotated to help defend, Lu Qian chuckled and passed the ball outside to Lin Sen, Lin Sen received the ball, and Guo Hui had already pounced.

After Lin Sen received the ball, he passed the ball back to Han Bin smartly. Han Bin broke through Horn, who came to help defend, and passed the ball to Lan Feng.

But the Red Bull's rotation is very fast, and Lennarn has just received the ball and he is in place.

Lan Feng ignored his interference at all, jumped up to hook, and the ball hit again.

Bruno frowned. He didn't know why the Wolves suddenly played so tactically. When they played against each other last season, they didn't play as freely as they do now.

Luo Chen and Caesar were also shocked. Luo Chen couldn't help exclaiming: "Why do I feel that our team has completely changed?"

Caesar shook his head, how did he know why? "But this is a good thing. Playing like this consumes very little physical energy for the players, and it can also prevent players from being injured as much as possible."

"Indeed, it seems that our team has made a qualitative leap this season."

"It's too early to say these things, after all, the game has just begun."

No wonder they were so surprised. In the past, the Wolves relied more on pick-and-rolls and off-the-ball screens, and most of the players chose to fight alone after receiving the ball. However, in the first two rounds of this game, they played lightly and scored goals. They all seemed very calm afterwards.

The Red Bulls attacked, and this time Lennarn chose to pull out to cover the outside line before catching the ball and jumping, but still being interfered by Luo Mang, the ball hit the frame again and was confiscated by Lu Qian.

Facing Luo Mang's defense, he knew that he would play very hard, but he didn't expect that Luo Mang's defense was stronger than last season. If he continued to play like this, it would be very difficult for him to score points.

When the Wolves attacked, Luo Mang mentioned going up to catch the ball, Lennarn pushed forward and said, "Hit me if you have the ability."

But Luo Mang ignored it and gave the ball back to Lin Sen again. At the same time, he quickly turned around to cover for Han Bin. As soon as Han Bin appeared open, Lin Sen passed the ball in time. After receiving the ball, he jumped up easily and hit two points again. .

All three consecutive rounds were scored, and to put it lightly, Red Bull's defense was simply vulnerable in front of them.

Bruno suppressed the urge to call a timeout, but shouted from the sidelines: "Bring yourself up, pay attention to rotation defenses, and don't give them a chance to make an easy shot."

On the contrary, Lu Ziqiu sat comfortably on the coach's bench and chatted with George in a leisurely manner, appearing a little careless.

George glanced at the game on the court, and said with a smile: "It seems that the offseason training effect has come out, and now they can fight with ease."

Lu Ziqiu nodded, "In fact, they have their own strength, but they didn't have confidence in their shooting before, so they struggled a lot."

"It's true, but their defense still hasn't improved much."

As soon as his words fell, Red Bull used the counter-running tactic, and Li Wu scored a layup, hitting Lu Qian's weakness of slow pace.

Lu Ziqiu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Your request is too high."

George coughed twice in embarrassment, "Indeed, if they can achieve a balance of offense and defense, then it won't be that price."

"They are more than that price. The reason why they have not been able to get a higher annual salary is only caused by their temper. When they really know how to control their temper, it will no longer be possible to sign them in the middle-class contract."

If he had been scored by his opponent in the past, Lu Qian would have chosen to fight back, but today he was uncharacteristically unhurried after receiving the ball. If the opponent didn't pinch, he would slash with his back, and once pinched him, he would immediately throw the ball.

Lin Sen received his return ball, looked at Kuhn who was running back and forth, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Aren't you too tired from running around like this?"

Kuhn snorted and didn't reply.

"Boring." Lin Sen shook his head, suddenly flicked his wrist, and passed the ball again to Lu Qian who was a little deeper.

This time, Lu Qian didn't hesitate any longer. After catching the ball, he suddenly turned around and chose to shoot after Li Wu was lifted.

"Don't even think about it." Lennarn came out in time to defend.

But Lu Qian laughed and passed the ball to Luo Mang. Li Wu went to defend in time, but he couldn't hold Luo Mang at all, and Luo Mang forced a layup to score two points.
