Chapter 218 Head-to-head confrontation
The second half started quickly.
When the players from both sides returned to the court, they were all in the starting lineup. The score was 42:39, with Jiangning No. 1 Middle School trailing by 3 points.
Zhenhai Middle School had the ball. Yan Wenhao pushed the ball into the frontcourt and handed it to Liu Qing immediately.
This is also a regular play method of Zhenhai Middle School. The ball is given to Liu Qing first, and Liu Qing is allowed to use his personal ability to attract the defense and dismantle the defense. He is the starting point of the offense. As for whether he plays the ball himself or gives it to his teammates.
When Liu Qing took the ball, Xiao Qingyang immediately pounced on him, almost sticking to Liu Qing's body, shaking his hands back and forth to interfere with Liu Qing's shooting.
"If you are so close, you are not afraid that I will break through?" Liu Qing frowned. He was best at shooting, not breaking through. Obviously, the opponent wanted to focus on this, limit his shooting, force himself to break through, and then limit his scoring.
snort......
Liu Qing snorted coldly, took a step forward with his right foot, turned his body sideways, pushed Xiao Qingyang with his shoulder, squeezed out a little space, and then slapped the ball on the floor, speeding up and passing half of Xiao Qingyang's body.
"Assist in defense." Zhuang Yu shouted.
Xiao Qingyang's defense was too forward.
In order to prevent Liu Qing from shooting, he must guard further forward, but this way it will be difficult to block Liu Qing once he breaks through.
Yuan Feng immediately stepped forward, ready to assist in defense.
As soon as Yuan Feng came up, Liu Qing immediately distributed the ball and passed it to Li Cheng. However, Jiangning No. 1 Middle School was also prepared. Gao Xiaoguang immediately moved and stayed close to Li Cheng. However, his defensive ability in the low post was indeed not enough, so in the end he could only
foul.
beep!
The referee blew the whistle, gave Gao Xiaoguang a foul, and signaled Li Cheng to go to the free throw line and take two free throws.
Li Cheng's free throws were pretty good. After all, he is a shooting center. He made both free throws and the score became 44:39.
One attack.
Zhuang Yu picked up the ball in the backcourt, and when he came to the frontcourt, a figure flashed in front of him, making him raise his eyebrows. It was not Yan Wenhao who was on guard, but Liu Qing.
During the halftime break, coach Yang Guohui said that the opponent would definitely strengthen its defense against him. He thought it would be to help defend and double-team, but he didn't expect that it would be Liu Qing to defend him.
Zhuang Yu looked at Liu Qing, is this just a simple tactical adjustment, or do you want to compete with me face to face?
Liu Qing also looked at Zhuang Yu. The reason why he offered to defend Zhuang Yu was not only for tactical considerations, but also because he wanted to confront Zhuang Yu face to face.
This is a rare opponent. It would be a shame if he couldn't face Zhuang Yu.
It was just a look, but both of them understood what the other meant.
That being the case, let’s do it!
"Pull apart." Zhuang Yu gestured for his teammates to pull away.
"No need to assist in defense." Liu Qing also signaled to his teammates to let him defend alone instead of coming over to assist in defense.
Of course, Li Cheng still stayed inside. Once Zhuang Yu passed Liu Qing, he would immediately make up for the defense. Not wanting to help defend and not staying inside were two different things.
In the auditorium, the fans became excited.
"It's coming, it's coming, the face-to-face showdown between the new king and the number one player is finally here."
"Come on Zhuang Yu."
"Liu Qing, guard against him..."
Amid people's shouts, Zhuang Yu moved.
With a sneer, Zhuang Yu started, first leaning his body to the left, but he only made half of the movement and immediately changed direction. He slapped the ball on the floor, shook his shoulders, and adjusted his center of gravity. When the basketball bounced up and fell into his right hand, his body
It has become tilted to the right.
This tilt is very large, and the center of gravity is also very low. Because Liu Qing is ten centimeters taller than Zhuang Yu, including wingspan, the defensive coverage is very large.
Only if the change of direction is large enough can Liu Qing be completely thrown away.
"So fast."
Liu Qing's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously moved to the left. His reaction was not unpleasant, but it was still a little slower than Zhuang Yu.
The next moment, Zhuang Yu shot out like an arrow and passed by Liu Qing. He turned his head slightly and met Liu Qing's eyes.
Their eyes collided for a moment, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes. It was the excitement of meeting a well-matched opponent.
"Wow..."
There was an uproar in the audience.
I saw Zhuang Yu passing more than half of Liu Qing's body. The speed was so amazing that the basketball seemed to be unable to keep up. He grabbed the basketball with his right hand and had already pulled it behind him. The next moment, Zhuang Yu slapped the ball on the floor.
Taking another step, the person has reached the restricted area.
"There's still me." Li Cheng growled, bowing down.
At the same time, Zhuang Yu jumped up and faced Li Cheng, holding the basketball in both hands, gliding in the air as if he had escaped gravity.
Li Cheng also jumped up, but he found that Zhuang Yu jumped too high. He tried his best to raise his arms, but he couldn't block the shot.
This is a center with a height of nearly two meters. If you include the wingspan, his standing height is much higher than that of Zhuang Yu. But Zhuang Yu's jumping is so amazing, he jumps at least 70 to 80 centimeters, it's like taking off.
It's enough to make up for the height difference.
"snort......"
Suddenly, a cold snort came.
A figure jumped up from behind, but it was Liu Qing who chased him. He was passed by Zhuang Yu, but that didn't mean he completely lost his defense. Knowing that he could no longer stop Zhuang Yu from breaking through, he immediately turned around, took a step forward and then bent his knees to exert his strength.
, with the blessing of amazing bounce and explosive power, he almost came first, his right hand was already far higher than the basket, and he was slapping the basketball.
This scene is very shocking.
Zhuang Yu's bounce shocked the fans, and Liu Qing's pursuit block shocked the fans again. The two of them demonstrated the word "talent" vividly.
"Let's see how you hide this time?" Liu Qing growled in his heart.
Just as he was about to slap the basketball, Zhuang Yu took the ball back.
"What?" Liu Qing was stunned and didn't understand. "In this situation, your strength has been exhausted. Even if you can take it back, is it still possible to shoot?"
Zhuang Yu's ability to stay in the air is amazing, but he can't really escape gravity. There is Li Cheng in front and Liu Qing behind him. Even if he can get the ball back, he is actually at the end of his game and can't shoot anymore.
.
Even if he throws it forcefully, it will be impossible to score, because Liu Qing has almost blocked all the shooting space, unless Zhuang Yu can stay in the air for a few tenths of a second.
This can't be done.
In fact, when Zhuang Yu took the ball back, he was already falling, but at the moment he was about to hit the ground, he smashed the ball to the floor.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and the basketball bounced up, right at Liu Qing's feet.
Liu Qing could even see the basketball clearly bouncing, and he could catch it with just one move. But with his hands raised in the air, where could he catch the ball?
This is...a pass.
Liu Qing understood it in an instant.
This was a pass. The basketball bounced up and fell into a pair of big hands. It was Xiao Qingyang who was cutting inside.
Yes, the ball was not passed to Yuan Feng, although Yuan Feng's position was already empty. But he was still stunned on the spot, not realizing that Zhuang Yu would pass the ball. He only thought that Zhuang Yu would take the shot himself, and he did not do a good job of receiving it.
Chapter completed!
