The True Colors of Youth Chapter 167 The Walking RMB
Long Xiaochuan is not suitable to be a swingman at all.
His height is not enough, his shooting is unstable, and he is not qualified to be a shooting guard. It is even more difficult for him to play small forward.
He stared into Long Zaiyuan's eyes, trying to read something meaningful from them: "There must be some profound meaning to this arrangement. You are trying a new tactic, right?"
Long Zaiyuan pushed him to play: "You are too flamboyant, be careful of your opponent's black feet! Protecting yourself and avoiding injury is better than anything else."
Looking at his uncle's right hand that had not yet had its plaster removed, Long Xiaochuan slightly understood his good intentions: "I will pay attention to it."
They only vaguely felt the danger, but they didn't know that under the secret operation of Boss Du, the biggest crisis was already close at hand.
The competition has officially begun. The Thunder team’s opponent in this round is the representative team from Zhuxi Town, Lijiang County.
This team came in second place in the Lijiang County Trials. It is a team with average strength but has been suppressed by the Debao team of Huang Kunbo, Jiang Ye and others all year round.
There are two players in their team who play field ball all year round. In addition, they are all sports students and basketball enthusiasts from all walks of life. They are just in better physical condition than ordinary people.
As soon as the jump ball started, Shi Lang used his height and jumping advantage to grab the ball.
Both the opponents on the field and the spectators off the field thought that the ball would be organized and launched by Long Xiaochuan, so they inevitably focused most of their attention on him.
Unexpectedly, Shi Lang deliberately gave the ball to Liu Dingding to organize.
Liu Dingding played steadily, dribbling the ball through the half and cooperating with Xue Zhuang and Shi Lang, without even thinking about Long Xiaochuan.
The basketball was rotated in the hands of the three people in Yucun, and Shi Lang soon found a gap, rushed into the basket, and dunked with an explosion without any defense.
The female college students who were watching on the sidelines were in love with each other. Seeing that Long Xiaochuan's teammates were leading the score, they all cheered and no longer applauded stingily.
These screams stimulated Shi Lang's eardrums, making him excited and high-pitched, and he screamed like a chicken blood: "Give me the ball, and I will help you win!"
The referee looked at this crazy guy, shook his head and handed the ball to the Zhuxi team player. It was his turn to serve from the baseline!
The defender of the Zhuxi team took the ball to organize the attack and wanted to cooperate tactically.
But they did the pick-and-roll, they did the air-cutting without the ball, they also did the ball-breaking and passing, but they just couldn't find an open shot.
In their view, the opponent is like an oracle, making defensive actions the moment they pass the ball, using close-ups, double-teaming, assisting defense and switching defenses to disrupt their offensive intentions.
The basketball became a hot potato. It was spun in the hands of five people, and no one could shoot the ball. In the end, their core players could only barely take the shot before the 24-second offensive violation. The basketball was ping-ping-pong-pong on the rim.
It jumped around for a while and finally rolled into the basket.
Although the ball was scored, the players of the Zhuxi team looked at each other and felt unparalleled pressure. This difficult "magic ball" predicted that their entire game was ups and downs.
Because everyone in the Thunder team is actively running, and there is no team player to cooperate with each other to cover, although it seems that they are not very skilled, they are no longer on the same level as them.
Indeed, the Thunder team launched an attack. After receiving the ball, Shi Lang saw that Gao Fu was unattended on the outside and immediately passed the ball.
As Gao Fu hit his first three-pointer, it was announced that he was feeling hot today and was about to "go on a killing spree".
In the following time, the Thunder team attacked with ease every time and defended flawlessly, perfectly demonstrating the true meaning of "playing with your brains".
On the other hand, the Zhuxi team has been intercepted, blocked, and counterattacked countless times. They only know a few simple offensive routines and their every move is expected by their opponents. How can they fight?
As the score widened little by little, there was a 30-point difference in the first half alone. The Zhuxi team, which had no hope of winning, made substitutions.
The substitute players they replaced were unknown, but they all had bulging muscles and strong bodies. They ran rampant on the court with a "whoever stands in my way will die" aura.
There is a saying that "beating the master to death with random punches", their unreasonable and brutal style of fighting really caused a lot of trouble for the Thunder Team.
After all, everyone has just adapted to the high-IQ playing style and likes to predict the opponent's next move to defend. When you encounter five stupid young people who don't know how to play, you can't guess what they will do!
These people are completely messing around on the court, taking the ball and shooting randomly. If they can't make a shot, they rush for rebounds, causing chaos under the basket.
Xue Zhuang was controlling the court under the basket and was hit on the knee, poked in the ribs, stepped on the toes, and pulled on the arm. He suffered a lot.
However, due to the crowd and chaos, the referee could not see this, and no foul was called for several serious violations.
Xue Zhuang was so angry that he threw the basketball on the ground: "Damn it, whoever wants to grab this rebound, I won't do it anymore!"
Shi Lang had just shown his passion and was not convinced: "I'll do it! I don't believe we can't cure them!"
His performance here is playing right into his opponent's hands!
Because rumors have spread among the Zhuxi team for a long time, a big boss has issued a bounty mission, and the reward for injuring Long Xiaochuan is 50,000, and the reward for injuring Shi Lang is 30,000!
For farmers, young people from small towns and poor students like the Zhuxi team, even if they make it to the finals, there won’t be so much bonus!
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Long Xiaochuan and Shi Lang are like walking renminbi on the court.
If they want to make so much money at once, all they need is an "accidental" step, an "unintentional" collision foul, or an "ordinary" pulling foul during the opponent's layup or dunk.
.
Long Xiaochuan is more cunning. He was paddling almost from beginning to end in this game. He didn't have many chances to touch the ball. He would shoot after getting the ball and never run into the crowded interior. It would be difficult to hurt him in public.
But Shi Lang is different. This kid loves dunking and grabbing rebounds. He rushes and jumps high. If not, who will he do?
Therefore, when Shi Lang took over from Xue Zhuang to guard the basket, a nightmare experience began.
He is always surrounded by two or three opposing players. When he grabs a rebound, countless hands reach out to grab it.
The scene was like a group of "Africa's second brother" spotted hyenas besieging lions, specifically attacking the lower three routes.
But the most disgusting thing is that he is always in danger of being stepped on!
Once Shi Lang's feet leave the ground, there will be at least two extra feet inexplicably where he lands, waiting for him to step on his sprained feet.
Yu Yan and Long Zaiyuan protested loudly and demanded severe punishment for this behavior that violated professional ethics.
The referee has already called three fouls, reminding the Zhuxi players to pay attention to their movements, but what's the use? They are just shameless and want money.
Long Zaiyuan decided to make substitutions to protect the team's main force.
