Chapter 116 MVP
As mentioned before, Fuhua's tactic is to play pick-and-roll.
Among the main players, he, power forward Qian Wenke, and center Sun Lifeng all have good shooting skills.
Although the running-in time is short, the tactics have already taken shape.
It's a pity that Sun Lifeng, who was a little nervous, failed to jump over the opposite center with a score of 2.03.
The opponent had the ball, and amid the slightly chaotic shouts of "Come on Fuhua", everyone took their positions and started to defend.
Lu Yao, who serves as a shooting guard, was taken to the corner by the opponent's shooting guard.
How strong is the Magic City Normal University... To be honest, everyone doesn't know.
But it is true that they have something. As soon as these people get started, the opponents immediately feel a completely different feeling than during training.
Quite professional.
Unfortunately, Fuhua's team was too hasty. Although Wu Wen was nominally the team manager, she was also a layman. The only information she had was the opponent's performance last season, average scores and other statistics. She didn't know anything else.
The opponent got into position very quickly, and the first ball in the game was also a pick-and-roll, but in the end, the opponent gave it to the center in the penalty area.
The center's fat body turned around and Sun Lifeng "flyed".
Easily scored two points.
"Mine."
Sun Lifeng raised his hand helplessly.
The ball was sent to the main point guard Duan Qiwei.
Duan Qiwei brought the ball to the half-court without any danger and handed it directly to Lu Yao.
Then, everyone looked at him.
Lu Yao held the ball and glanced at the defender who had no intention of attacking. He didn't even make a gesture, just picked it up and shot.
When he took off, the opponent pounced on him.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
"Oh!!!"
Amid the cheers of the students, the score reached 3-2. All members of the Fuhua team quickly ran back to half-court.
Hu Li clapped while staring at her boyfriend with a smile on her face.
At this moment, in her heart, her boyfriend is Michael Jordan.
So handsome.
Xu Ruochu, who folded his legs and leaned on the chair to watch, was also applauding.
Indeed, the ball was hit very neatly.
He raised the knife and dropped it, showing no mercy.
Same as his character.
Thinking of this, her eyes changed a little.
But what changes faster is the situation on the court.
Sun Lifeng was completely unable to withstand the opponent's center, and Normal University's tactics were also quite simple.
The strong side goes to the center, and everyone pulls away to the weak side.
If the center hits the ball, he will play. If the ball does not go smoothly, redistribute the ball and continue playing.
Fuhua is in a bit of a dilemma, because except for Lu Yao, everyone else's hands are cold.
After three rounds of offense, both Qian Wenke and small forward Zhang Bin missed their shots.
The score came to 3 to 6.
If nothing else is mentioned, the center of Normal University is quite strong.
He has a good body and his skills are not bad either.
But...
Lu Yao looked at him panting, thought for a while, walked to Duan Qiwei and said:
"Run up, play fast break, and feed Brother Sun the ball."
"You won't fight?"
Duan Qiwei was stunned.
Lu Yao shook his head:
"No need for the moment, the fat man is not strong enough."
After the two of them muttered in the backcourt, Duan Qiwei took the ball and ran forward.
As soon as Lu Yao passed half-time, the opponent came up to the open space and defended closely, not giving him any chance to catch the ball.
"Brother Sun, come out."
Duan Qiwei shouted.
Qian Wenke glanced at Lu Yao's side and immediately followed him out.
Everyone pulled out, but the center didn't. He stood in the three-second zone to prevent breakthroughs.
The ball came to Sun Lifeng's hands, and Brother Sun made a jump shot directly.
The ball goes in.
5 to 6.
When Fuhua's people returned to halftime, Lu Yao muttered to Sun Lifeng:
"He is not strong enough, so run with him. To prevent him from committing a foul, just open your hands."
Although the words are simple, the core idea is the same.
When attacking, take the center for a long walk. When defending, don't block shots. Keep your hands straight to make it difficult for him to play.
Sun Lifeng understood what Lu Yao meant, and looked at the fat man who had begun to wipe his sweat with his football uniform, with a hidden smile on his face.
And it turns out that this center is indeed powerful.
Under Sun Lifeng's "conservative" defense, it was like being in no one's land, and soon the score became 9-14.
He scored 10 of the 14 points.
But every time he scores, Duan Qiwei or Lu Yao catches the ball and throws it forward.
Not pursuing offensive efficiency, but pursuing speed.
After the guy followed and ran back and forth a few times, his breathing quickly became louder.
Then... he was fooled by Sun Lifeng.
End of first quarter.
The score was constant at 11 to 14.
To be honest, this score is not high.
But after all, none of us are professional players. Moreover, although the home team is lagging behind in points, it is not too far behind, so the atmosphere on Fuhua's side is quite lively.
"Lu Yao, you have to start scoring points in the second quarter."
Hearing the coach's words, Lu Yao, who didn't even break out in sweat, shook his head slightly:
"In the second half, coach, their other baskets were not very accurate. The only one who was a threat was the fat man. Take him two more laps in the second quarter and leave it to me in the second half."
When Coach Wang heard this, he felt it made sense and nodded:
"Okay, Qian Wenke and Duan Qiwei, you two focus on pick-and-rolls and try your best to cause them inside fouls..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
This is somewhat contrary to what he thought.
But...
After thinking for a while, he remained silent.
……
"Why doesn't Lu Yao get points?"
Hu Li looked at her boyfriend who was mumbling with a group of people and muttered.
"Their team's intention is not to score points. It seems to be accelerating..."
After hearing this, Xu Ruochu gave his own opinion.
At the same time, his eyes fell on the fat man over there who started to drink water.
Just when he left the field just now, he still had a smile on his face.
Obviously I think I played pretty well.
But...
She glanced at the watch on her wrist.
Ten minutes.
A game is ten minutes long.
Lu Yao didn't even sweat, but his head was already covered with sweat.
Seeing this, she seemed to understand something and continued:
"On the Magic City Normal University team, the tall and fat guy is currently scoring points. The others are not as good as him, but he doesn't seem to have much physical strength. You can see that he is sweating a lot. The people from Fuhua seem to be Did you notice this and was running just now?”
"Uh..."
Hu Li naturally understands football.
After being reminded by Xu Ruochu, he immediately looked towards the Normal University.
"I understand, they are draining that person's energy."
"Yes. If he is tired and cannot score so many points every time, it means that Fuhua's tactics are successful."
The two murmured for a while, and then the five-minute break came.
The players are back on the field.
After coming on the court, Duan Qiwei threw himself in like crazy.
In fact, this is the difference between him and Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu plays the game slowly, just like an old man visiting the bird market, mainly passing the ball. He doesn't like to have too much physical contact with people, but he is different.
According to Mr. Xu’s words:
"When Lao Duan fights, it's like carrying a bag of explosives."
When he lays up, he wants to throw himself into the basket.
It is this desperate breakthrough and scoring ability that secures Coach Wang's position as the "breakthrough point guard" in his heart.
And the effect he created is naturally gratifying.
In the first three minutes, the opposing center received two fouls.
Ended.
"This..."
Looking at Duan Qiwei taking the free throw, Qian Wenke was a little confused.
Subconsciously he looked at Lu Yao.
But Lu Yao's face was speechless.
Didn't he go down... just to recover his strength?
"Oh, what should I do if the fat man ends up?"
Hu Li, who watched the game but didn't understand it, was a little "panicked."
Xu Ruochu also frowned slightly.
Although she didn't understand football, she could see Fuhua's tactical intentions.
It was obvious that he was running around with that person all over the place to consume his energy. Why did the player who likes to get the ball start digging into the crowd at the beginning of the second quarter?
But... after making one of two free throws, Fuhua finally overtook the score. 17 to 16.
"Fuhua!"
"Come on!"
"Fuhua!"
"Come on!"
Finally overtaking, the onlookers immediately cheered and cheered.
But in the next two minutes, the score was stretched again.
It became 17 to 21.
The opponent scored 4 points in a row.
Because after the center came off the field, the opponent came up with a substitute center who was not as tall as Sun Lifeng, but very aggressive.
Not only can this guy jump high, but the key is that he can also run.
Before Fuhua had time to evolve his tactics, Duan Qiwei dug in and was immediately stuck. When Sun Lifeng pulled him out, the other party also came out and stuck to him tightly.
It can be said that except for his rough work on the basket, this guy has completely surpassed Sun Lifeng in other aspects.
Moreover, according to Lu Yao, Lao Duan is still speeding up.
Both sides suddenly became faster at the same time.
If you run, I will run too.
Then... with the support of the opponent's substitute center who jumped very high, Fuhua's paint area directly became a sieve.
Started to run out of energy.
"Bang." Following a big shot from the opponent's center, he flicked his long arm, and the opponent's point guard made a layup, suppressing Lu Yao, who had already committed a foul, and scored the ball.
And make sure free throws.
17 to 24.
Lu Yao quickly made a pause gesture towards the coach.
Seeing this, Coach Wang also shouted to the referee:
"Pause."
"Du."
The competition is temporarily suspended.
Lu Yao said immediately after coming off the field:
"Coach, the tempo has to slow down. Brother Duan has to wait until the opponent's fat guy comes up. If we continue so fast, we will lose."
When Coach Wang heard this, he felt it made sense and shouted directly:
"Duan Qiwei, come down, Xu Ruochen, come up."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Mr. Xu, who had been sitting on the bench for a while, nodded immediately.
Soon, the 2-minute pause ended.
When he came on the field, Lu Yao pulled him and said:
"I'll give you a pick-and-roll, give me the ball, Brother Qian, you can block for me again, and we'll watch."
Mr. Xu understood it.
After catching the ball, unlike Duan Qiwei's desperate running style, he took the ball and pushed forward leisurely.
"Come on Xiaochen!!!"
On the sidelines, Hu Li immediately started shouting.
Mr. Xu turned a deaf ear and stood in the midfield with the ball and looked at it. After Lu Yao started, he immediately moved forward.
"Pick and roll! Make up for it!"
Lu Yao made a block and after completing the change of position, the defender and the opponent's point guard all rushed to Xu Gongzi.
Mr. Xu flicked the ball back, and Lu Yao, who was wide open, raised his knife again!
"Whoosh!"
20 to 24.
He raised his hand high in the air and gave Mr. Xu a high-five as he walked over with a smile on his face.
"Crack!"
"Oh!!!!"
"Wow, wow..."
Applause broke out.
Hu Li clenched her fists excitedly:
"Youth!!!! Xiaochu! Youth!"
A smile also appeared on Xu Ruochu's face.
After the rhythm slowed down, Mr. Xu's advantage came out.
Veteran style of play.
Take it slow and steady.
Take your time.
Under his guidance, Qian Wenke's hand finally became warm.
After two consecutive mid-range shots, the score became 24-26.
Then...
The fat man came up again.
have to.
Mr. Xu, who was still unfinished, had to end.
And the fat man had had enough rest, and he started to talk to Brother Sun again.
But this time he learned the lesson.
When Lao Duan was carrying explosives, he just interfered and didn't seek any blocks.
Then... the person guarding Qian Wenke changed from the power forward to the backup center just now.
Now, Lao Qian also felt uncomfortable.
This man is very flexible and can jump high, just like he is practicing track and field.
It's this kind of person that a space power forward like him is most afraid of.
Lao Duan, who had the ball in hand, followed the coach's instructions to blow up the bunker.
But the success rate began to drop.
Because he won't get free throws.
At the end of the second quarter, the score was stretched again.
23 to 30.
Once again, there was a seven-point gap.
And...
Qian Wenke, Wang Bin and Sun Lifeng were a little exhausted.
The Fuhua school team, which did not know how to distribute physical strength, seemed to be sluggish in the first half.
Lu Yao knew that he had to stand up.
"I'll come in the second half."
he said.
……
"It's not over yet? Isn't it just 40 minutes? Is this only the second quarter?"
At the entrance of the arena, several girls in sportswear looked at the situation on the court, somewhat speechless.
It's almost 5 o'clock.
After hearing what his companion said, Bai Yao shook her head indifferently:
"They have an unveiling today."
"...What's the point of opening a preliminary round? And why are you still lagging behind? Are you so weak?"
The companion was speechless.
At this time, the second half whistle sounded.
Although several people complained, they still stood at the door and watched.
At this time, the venues on both sides also changed.
The magic city master's generous venue is close to their side.
After Mr. Xu dribbled the ball to half-court, he saw Lu Yao walking inside and immediately raised his hand and shouted:
"Pull open."
Fuhua's people gathered on the other side at the same time, and then Mr. Xu hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Lu Yao, who was already stuck at a 45-degree angle.
After Lu Yao, who had almost no losses in the first half, hugged the ball, he noticed that the opponent kept pushing his waist with his elbow, and thought to himself that you were playing quite dirty.
So he turned around and faced the defender in a triple-threat gesture.
As for the guy on the opposite side... Because there is very little information in the first half, I just know that Fuhua's two three-pointers were shot by this person.
But what level of Lu Yao's breakthrough... he still doesn't know.
Therefore, a top defense strategy of penetrating defense shots was adopted. At the same time, the left area was released, which means that if you want to break through, go in with your left hand.
Quite good.
However, the whole world knows that Iverson's first step is always to the right.
But...it should be impossible to guard against, but it is still impossible to guard against it.
Lu Yao's first step was as fast as lightning.
He took a step to the right, mobilized the defender's footsteps, and then made an exaggerated behind-the-back dribble to break in.
The Tiaotiao man who defended Qian Wenke quickly came over to make up the defense.
In mid-air, a scene appeared that made everyone's eyes widen.
Facing the new defender, Lu Yao seemed to have calculated it well. He raised the ball high with his left hand. When the opponent pressed down, his core began to exert force, and he forcibly closed his hand, and made a particularly large mid-air lever change. Hand layup.
The basketball drew a perfect "U" arc in his hand. When the opponent's arm pressed against his body, the basketball also "licked" into the basket with the help of rotation.
"Beep!"
"No. 11, defensive foul, the goal is valid, and one penalty goal is added."
"Oh!!!!"
"La la la la la la..."
Applause and cheers broke out instantly.
Lu Yao, who was lying on the ground, was pulled up and gave them a high-five with a smile.
He raised three fingers at the guy who was defending him.
It probably means three points, or you have committed three fouls.
It doesn't matter.
He steadily made free throws, and after the scoreboard was turned over to 26-30, he shouted:
"Zone defense."
In the first half, he found that the Normal University players were not very stable in shooting.
Zone defense is obviously the best way to defend.
And it turns out that what he expected was not bad at all.
Soon, Normal University's attack was blocked.
After Qian Wenke took off the rebound, he threw it directly to Lu Yao who started to play fast break.
Lu Yao raised his hand and shot the three-point arc from the midline.
After seeing the basketball hitting the net crisply, he pointed directly to the scoreboard.
Hu Limei smiled widely, and her hands turned red.
"Hey, this No. 0 played well."
At the entrance of the arena, Bai Yao nodded when he heard his teammates' words:
"Yeah."
And just like what the two said.
Lu Yao started to exert his strength.
When the opponent's most capable fat center comes up, he starts the fast break with Duan Qiwei.
When the opponent goes down, Xu Gongzi starts to play pick-and-roll at a high pace.
At the end of the third quarter, the Normal University team, which had been pushed back and forth by Fuhua several times, felt a little unbearable.
And when it was 4 minutes into the fourth quarter, all the fat center could do was hold his waist and watch helplessly as Fuhua's No. 0 completed a chasing layup.
Looking at the ocean and sighing.
In the second half, Fuhua's sharpest firepower began a retaliatory "massacre".
Three points.
breakthrough.
penalty.
Triple threat.
Worship to Buddha.
Lean back...
It's like a standard shooting guard textbook.
When the "beep" whistle blew, the score was 55-42 at the end of the game.
Fuhua led by 13 points, and with the cheers of the audience, they got a good start for their CUBA team.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
Hu Li, whose face was flushed with excitement, began to take the lead.
Then...
The whole audience was shouting "MVP".
At this moment, it was as if they were in an NBA scene.
After hearing the cheers, Lu Yao, who scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, was grabbed by Qian Wenke and raised his hand.
"Oh!!!"
The cheers of the MVP surrounded the arena and lingered for a long time.
