basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 289

Lu Ziqiu didn't care whether the board of directors could accept his own explanation. Early the next morning, he led the players to continue preparing for the game. The training content was basically about relaxation, and more about keeping them in shape.

As for mentality, after this period of rest, the players have fully adjusted, and they have forgotten all about the past.

In a blink of an eye, the crucial third game came. Before the start of the game, Lu Ziqiu told them the most: "Play as a regular game, relax and play at your own level."

The starting lineups of the two sides have not changed.

Luo Mang still lost to Chuck Hayes in the scramble for the ball, but after the racket fell, it did not fall into the hands of the Agni player. Instead, Han Bin grabbed it first. After he grabbed the ball, he immediately started it and went straight to the opponent's basket go.

Agni couldn't react for a while, and it was too late to chase after he reacted, so he could only watch Han Bin dunk and score.

The arena was instantly ignited. This goal was really important, because it was the first time since the third game that they took the lead, even if it was only 2 points.

The Wolves did not adopt full-court pressing tactics for Agni's attack, because Agni has Anthony Jones, who is too slippery and stealthy. Unlike Simmons, although Simmons is strong, his height limits his dexterity, so it is easier to mark.

What's more, in addition to Anthony Jones, Agni also has Cao Nan, and even Bai Qijun can hold the ball.

But as soon as the fire passed halftime, the Wolves began to press, trying their best to delay their offense and disrupt their offensive routines combining inside and outside.

Chuck Hayes found that Lan Feng seemed very quiet today. Not only did he stop talking trash, he even stopped doing his usual tricks, "Why didn't you talk today?"

"Because it's not necessary." After just replying, Lan Feng didn't speak again. Instead, it was Chuck Hayes who chattered endlessly, but this made him unable to concentrate on getting a seat.

Anthony Jones still used his speed and dexterity to break through. Except for Chuck Hayes, the others still pulled away, but today's Wolves defensive position was not messed up at all, and they didn't follow them out. Instead, they suddenly changed to zone defense and went all out. Limit his passing lanes.

Anthony Jones was short and his sight was blocked, so he didn't dare to take the ball casually, so he could only dribble out of the three-point line to reorganize. As soon as he went out, the Wolves immediately changed to a tight man-to-man defense, and it was difficult for others to catch the ball easily again .

"Give it to me." Chuck Hayes was finally in place and hurriedly reached out for the ball.

Anthony Jones swung the angle and gave the ball in. Chuck Hayes had just made a fake move when he took the ball, but Luo Mang suddenly let go of Bai Qijun and clipped it.

Chuck Hayes was overjoyed and passed the ball without even thinking about it, but Lu Qian suddenly appeared, broke the ball, and immediately gave the ball to Lin Sen, Lin Sen dribbled the ball and broke through, suddenly Passed the ball to the frontcourt again.

Han Bin rushed over, threw off Yang Tian, ​​and ended the fast break with a dunk again.

Martin couldn't help looking at Lu Ziqiu, good boy, it's really not easy to get your players back to their mentality so quickly.

Looking back, Agni began to play pick-and-roll screens. Cao Nan used the screen to throw off Lu Qian to get the ball, but he did not shoot, but chose to break through. Lu Qian was blocked and completely out of position. As soon as he made up, Yang Tian was missed.

Cao Nan's passing vision is very wide. As soon as Han Bin came over, he immediately chose to pass the ball. When Yang Tian received the ball, his eyes were empty, and he hit two points steadily.

However, Han Bin's condition is surprisingly good today. As soon as Agni got back two points, he used back punches to fight back.

In the next few minutes, it almost became Han Bin's solo exhibition match. With breakthroughs, mid-range shots, and assists, Agni couldn't restrain him at all. Yang Tian and his matchup were completely at a disadvantage.

Agni relied on the tacit cooperation between the three stars to hold on to the score. After Cao Nan scored two points, Lu Ziqiu called a timeout first.

"Luo Mang, it will be you who will mark Cao Nan next, and the others will be in charge of assisting in the defense. Let's restrict Cao Nan first."

"it is good."

"Lu Qian, can you keep Bai Qijun away from the basket?"

"No problem." If it's just to keep Bai Qijun away from the basket, he has absolute confidence. As for the opponent using his height to shoot, he can only let him shoot. He has no choice.

"Lin Sen, don't force Anthony Jones too tight, prevent him from breaking through, and let him shoot."

"But that kid's three-pointer is too accurate."

"It doesn't matter, he can't kill us by himself. Just remember, try to carry him with your back when attacking. He can't defend you, but be careful of the opponent's help defense. Once they have help defense, find a way to give the ball to Han Bin , Do you know?" He was worried that this kid would pass the ball too messily, as long as he played according to his own arrangement, the team would not be chaotic.

"Okay, then do as you say."

"Han Bin, don't worry about anything, just defeat Yang Tian, ​​whether it's offense or defense, can you do it?"

"It's not a problem to hit him at all, but if other people are open, don't I go to help defend?"

"No, you just need to take care of Yang Tian alone."

Han Bin's eyes flashed, and he nodded sharply, "Okay."

"Lan Feng, you go down and rest first, Wei Meng, you go up, and help Han Bin open their inside line."

Wei Meng swallowed his saliva, "Coach, but I can't guard against Chuck Hayes." Unless the outside shooting rate is very high, otherwise it is too passive.

"When defending, you try to choose to go forward as much as possible, and you don't have to be afraid of being scored by him."

With Lu Ziqiu's words, Wei Meng felt relieved, "Okay, I will definitely let him take the ball easily."

"Well, remember everything, Han Bin is the main attacker."

"Yes."

"Go and rest, the game is about to start."

The players dispersed immediately. George looked at the score and saw that he was playing smoothly, but he was only leading by 2 points. "I didn't expect the players of Agni to play so steadily at such a young age. Martin is really amazing."

Lu Ziqiu nodded with a smile, "Coach Martin is best at exploring the potential of newcomers, but he has a bad problem, that is, the substitution is not firm enough. If it were me, Yang Tian would be replaced during this timeout, but he probably won't."

"That's why you arranged for Han Bin to fight against Yang Tian?"

"Well, Yang Tian can't defend Han Bin, and he can't beat Han Bin. The reason why I let Luo Mang target Cao Nan is to make Coach Martin feel that I want to lock Cao Nan and put other points. In this way, Yang Tian Tian Tian's running and shooting ability will definitely be reused by him."

"What if he finds out?"

"It's certain to see through, but a few rounds are enough. Once he replaces Yang Tian with a defensive guard, then I can replace Xiaozhi and stalk Cao Nan."

Hearing this, George couldn't help feeling sad for Martin, but he still didn't understand, "Why didn't you arrange it like this in the first two games?"

Lu Ziqiu smiled wryly and shook his head, "With the mentality of the players in the first two games, I wouldn't dare to arrange it like this. If they don't make it right, they will be even more anxious."

Thinking about the situation in the first two games, George could only smile wryly, "That's right, at that time they were eager to prove that they were better than the Agni players, and if they couldn't target them, they would be even more anxious. Alas, these players are good at everything, just The spirit is too high."

"But it's a good thing, isn't it?"

"That's right, the next step is to see how they position themselves."
