Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 139 Confidence is Typed!

When the first quarter ended, Jiangning No. 25 Middle School led Zhaojiang Experimental Middle School by 14 points with 11:[-].

This score surprised the fans in the audience, and also made the coaches and players of Zhaojiang Experimental Middle School very depressed. It was so shameful to fall behind so much in the first quarter.

"Defense, defense, defense." The coach had a straight face, his eyes were scary, "How many times have I emphasized the need to do a good job of defense, but how did you do it? In the first quarter, people scored as many as 25 points. This is 10 minutes." A quarter of the game."

25 points in a single quarter is rare in high school leagues.

Several players lowered their heads, depressed and helpless in their hearts. They didn't want to do this either, but the opponent's attack was too fast and too fierce.

At this time, Liu Ming raised his head and said weakly: "Coach, I think we need to control the rhythm of the court."

The coach's expression was a little slow, and he thought that he still had a brain at last. He nodded and said: "Yes, we need to control the rhythm and not be brought into the opponent's rhythm. That's like letting others lead by the nose, can we not lose? ?”

"Liu Ming, I leave it to you."

what?

Liu Ming's eyes widened, and he left it to himself?But when I think about it carefully, I am the core player of the team and the main point guard, so this matter can only fall on me.

"Okay." Liu Ming replied in a muffled voice.

"What do you mean?" The coach was very dissatisfied, "Tell me louder, can you do it?"

Liu Ming had a troubled expression on his face, he wanted to tell the truth but didn't dare to say so, so he could only stammer: "I...I can."

Seeing him as a coach, he knew that the matchup with Zhuang Yu just now had a great blow to Liu Ming's self-confidence, because compared with Zhuang Yu, he was far behind.

But what can be done?

Liu Ming is already the team's core player and the strongest defender. Could it be possible to count on others besides him?

"Hey..." The coach sighed secretly, and spread out the tactical board, "Wait for us to do this..."

......

In a blink of an eye, the second quarter began.

Zhao Jiang Experimental Middle School sent Liu Ming, Jiang Yuan, Yu Chengcai, and Deng Bowen, four of the five main players, and only one substitute, almost equivalent to the starting lineup.

There was no way, he fell too far behind in the first quarter, and there was no room for him to calmly line up his troops, so he could only deploy a strong lineup to chase points.

Jiangning No. [-] Middle School has a regular rotation, Zhao Hao, Han Hui, Gao Xiaoguang, Xiao Qingyang, Mo Fan, three starters and two substitutes.

This lineup is obviously much weaker than the starting lineup.

However, Xiao Qingyang's performance was very good. In a few minutes, he made 5 of 3 shots and scored 6 points. He almost supported the scoring burden of Jiangning No. [-] Middle School by himself.

However, the score was still chased by the opponent. The original 11-point difference turned into 7 points in a few minutes.

"Request a timeout."

Four minutes into the second quarter, coach Yang Guohui called a timeout.

After several players came down, he patted Xiao Qingyang's arm and praised: "Good job."

In the absence of Yuan Feng, everyone's burden will be heavier, especially Zhuang Yu and Xiao Qingyang.

Zhuang Yu knew this, and so did Xiao Qingyang, so he worked extra hard and earnestly, striving to be better, the best.

"Han Hui, Gao Xiaoguang, Mo Fan, come down and rest." Coach Yang Guohui began to change people, "Jiang Xuezhou, Zhang Yong, Zhuang Yu, you three go."

"Let's fight according to our tactics..."

After this substitution, Jiangning No. [-] Middle School took a lineup of one big and four small, and continued the previous style of play.

Seeing the opponent posing as "one big and four small", the coach of Zhaojiang Experimental Middle School immediately rushed to the field and gestured, signaling Liu Ming to control the rhythm and suppress it.

Unfortunately, it still failed.

The reason for the failure is very simple. After Zhang Yong went up, he made 4 of 2 shots. He scored two three-pointers alone. Zhuang Yu also hit a chasing three-pointer. The three three-pointers disrupted the rhythm of Zhaojiang Experimental Middle School. up.

After all, Liu Ming is not Zhuang Yu, and his ability to control the rhythm is far worse.

Of course, Zhaojiang Experimental High School's offense was better than in the first quarter. It no longer only scored from inside, but also from outside, but the speed of scoring was obviously not as good as that of Jiangning No. [-] Middle School.

After a few minutes, the point difference was widened to more than ten points.

At the end of the first half, Jiang Ning led by 12 points.

Moreover, after entering the second half, Jiang Ning No. [-] Middle School fought more and more bravely, Zhuang Yu firmly controlled the rhythm of the field, and Xiao Qingyang became the second strongest point, not only being able to contain the defense, but also carrying the important task of scoring when necessary.

In addition, Zhang Yong's three-pointer, Jiang Xuezhou's stable mid-range shot, Han Hui's rebound, Gao Xiaoguang's air cut...all played well.

On the other hand, on the side of Zhaojiang Experimental Middle School, as the game progressed, the point difference remained at more than [-] points, their morale became more and more low, and they began to gradually lose their fighting spirit.

The coach asked for a timeout several times, and even scolded Liu Ming and others, but the effect was not good. The players also knew that this was a knockout match, a game of life and death, but they couldn't beat it.

"If Liu Ming were replaced by Zhuang Yu, the score would definitely not be like this..." The coach of Zhao Jiang Experimental Middle School sighed secretly, a little envious of Jiang Ning No. [-] Middle School.

Originally, he was very satisfied with having such an excellent player as Liu Ming under him, but this person was afraid of comparisons. Comparing Liu Ming and Zhuang Yu, no matter in terms of scoring ability, organizational ability, or ability to control the game, they were not at the same level. grade.

It is precisely because of Zhuang Yu that coach Yang Guohui dared to play "one big and four small", and dared to use offense instead of defense!

......

At the same time, there are also three games going on in several other arenas.

The first round of the cross-knockout, that is, 16 to 8 games, a total of 8 games, divided into two days, four games a day.

For example, Group A and Group B will have two matches today, namely Jiangning No. 2 Middle School in A3 vs. Zhaojiang Experimental Middle School in B4, and Dongyuan No. 1 Middle School in A[-] vs. Suigang No. [-] Middle School in B[-].

At this time, the match between Dongyuan No. 8 Middle School and Suigang No. [-] Middle School is coming to an end. Suigang No. [-] Middle School deserves to be the first in Group B. Its strength is still very strong, leading by [-] points, and there is more than one minute left in the game.

More than a minute passed quickly, without accident, Suigang No. [-] Middle School won and advanced to the quarterfinals.

In addition, the two games in Group C and Group D also ended successively.

And when these three matches ended, the match between Jiangning No. [-] Middle School and Zhaojiang Experimental Middle School also came to an end.

"drop......"

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the score was fixed at 80:68. Jiangning No. 12 Middle School defeated the opponent by [-] points and advanced to the quarterfinals.

And 80 points in a single game is also the highest score in a single game since Jiangning No. [-] Middle School League.

Among them, Zhuang Yu scored 18 points, plus 5 rebounds and 11 assists, Xiao Qingyang scored 21 points, plus 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Zhang Yong hit 4 three-pointers and scored 12 points, Jiang Xuezhou scored 9 points , Han Hui scored 5 points, plus 8 rebounds...

Coach Yang Guohui is very satisfied with this game. Not only did he successfully enter the quarterfinals, but it also made him more confident in the current team's style of play.

Not only him, but the players are also more confident.

After all, confidence is built!
