The True Color of Youth Chapter 175 Liu Dingding’s No Man’s Land
No one in the Thunder Team would have imagined that Liu Dingding would be cheating in the next game.
His dribbling is consistent and stable, he changes direction with his hips, he pulls the ball to turn around, and he carries the ball continuously with his back. These "exquisite things" are no worse than Long Xiaochuan's.
Facing the opponent's point guard's hard block, he can use different techniques to get rid of it, easily find the open space and then make a pull-up jumper.
The opponent's point guard was always slow, and could only watch the basketball go into the basket again and again, becoming the backdrop for Liu Dingding to celebrate his score.
The old temple team changed two defenders in succession, but neither could effectively contain Liu Dingding.
Especially after the substitute defender came on, Liu Dingding showed off his breakthrough skills and single-handedly opened up the opponent's defense.
When the coach of the old temple team had no choice but to arrange two people to double-team the defense, Liu Dingding showed good vision and overall view, and used beautiful passes to provide assists to his teammates.
Throughout the first half, Liu Dingding was like no one else, scoring 16 points and sending out 6 assists, helping the Thunder team gain an 8-point lead.
Halftime was a turning point.
Just as Long Jae-yeon predicted before the game, the Old Temple team came up with tactics specifically targeting the point guard.
They sent two defenders to press Liu Dingding throughout the court, denying him a chance to dribble the ball past half-court.
If Liu Dingding wants to break through the double-team between the two, it is not enough to rely on dribbling skills. He must run counterattack without the ball, and he must accelerate and change direction after receiving the ball, so that he has the opportunity to dribble the ball and observe the positioning of his teammates.
Look for offensive opportunities.
But the opponent's goal is to force him to speed up, because the faster he goes, the more opportunities he has to strike, and a mere stumble will be enough for him.
The experienced Long Zaiyuan immediately saw the problem and hurriedly reminded everyone to go back and respond. He would rather give up the advantage of four on three in the frontcourt to avoid Liu Dingding getting injured.
However, Liu Dingding shouted "no need", threw the ball vigorously and made a personal pass. Taking advantage of his opponent's daze, he overtook the ball from the outside and returned to the court to get the ball again.
This pass was very exciting, but then he held the ball and rushed left and right, passing two defensive players in a row. Finally, he made an extreme pull in front of the opponent's big center and sent the ball into the basket. This was the tenth moment that shocked the whole audience.
The existence of top 1 best golf ball.
The whole place was ebullient, and Long Xiaochuan could not help but stand up and raise his arms in the air to cheer. This was a sign of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
The bench of the old temple team was completely silent. Their coach was angry and scolded several players on the court.
Under the pressure of the coach, the subsequent confrontation became more intense.
Not only did Liu Dingding advance with the ball, he also had difficulty connecting with the ball. He was maliciously pushed down by his opponents even when he was running without the ball. He stumbled and fell several times on the basketball court.
The most serious time was when he had just accelerated to get rid of the opponent who was like a dog-skin plaster, he tripped and fell to the ground. He had a bloody wound on his knee, and bright red blood flowed down his calf.
Shi Lang and Liu Dingding were as close as brothers. Seeing how shameless the other party was, they immediately rushed over to ask for an explanation.
The atmosphere on the field is full of tension, and there is a tendency to get into a fight if there is a disagreement.
The referee team was very nervous. Many officials and security guards ran into the field to block the players from the two teams. Long Zaiyuan and Yu Yan recalled the players in time to avoid further development of the situation.
Liu Dingding took the overall situation into consideration and took the initiative to persuade his teammates to calm down. He finally helped the team gain a huge lead. The opportunity to reach the semi-finals was close at hand. You must not have your results canceled because of fighting!
Yes, the Thunder team has the advantage now. It only needs ten more minutes to win. Why bother with the villain?
Long Zaiyuan made new substitution adjustments, first letting Liu Dingding come off to bandage his wounds, Shi Lang and the other three came down to rest, and Luo Gaozhan, Du Gangnan, Pan Lei, Sun Changxing and Gong Zhengyang came on to play: "There is no control.
Guard, it’s not easy to dribble the ball past half court. You have to pass the ball quickly, and then delay the time in the frontcourt, and don’t take a shot for less than 24 seconds. I believe you are all experienced, right?"
Pan Lei smiled: "You are so experienced. We relied on this move along the way."
He winked at Luo Gaozhan, and Sun Changxing understood the situation and used the almost rogue "human wall tactics" on the sidelines of the midfield and frontcourt.
Several people stood in a row on the sidelines and passed the ball hand to hand.
The Jiumiao team probably only studied the video of recent games played by the Thunder team, and had never seen this weird tactic used by the Lei team in the early days, so they were dumbfounded when they encountered this situation.
Their players gathered behind Pan Lei and others, unable to steal the ball but unwilling to waste time, so they could only get the ball through fouls.
However, after the fierce confrontation just now, their number of fouls has met the conditions for free throws.
So when they fouled, they sent Pan Lei and Luo Gaozhan to the free throw line.
Even though all teammates only had a shooting percentage of 1-for-2, the Thunder still maintained their point difference advantage with their solid defense.
Long Xiaochuan was secretly having fun on the sidelines, covering his mouth and complaining to Yu Yan in a low voice that the coach opposite him was a loser: "The third quarter hasn't finished yet, and they have absolutely no need to foul. Just let the big ass drag for 24 seconds and waste one time."
Any offensive opportunity is more cost-effective than sending us to the free throw line."
However, they were still too happy too early.
A team that can reach the top eight at the municipal level is certainly not mentally retarded.
During the break at the end of the third quarter, the coach of the old temple team found a way to completely restrain the "human wall tactics". He adjusted his tactics and implemented a full-court press against the Thunder.
Basketball rules require that the offensive team must dribble past the center line within 8 seconds. Only after passing the center line will there be a full 24 seconds of attack time.
However, no one on the Thunder team is good at dribbling, so they can only rely on two or three players to pass the ball in relays to get the ball across the center line.
When faced with a one-on-one full-court defense, Luo Gaozhan's physical talent makes it difficult to even pass the ball, and it is easy for him to make mistakes and be intercepted.
He is short and has no way to do a layup or dunk when facing others.
Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Thunder team was chased by the opponent for six consecutive points, and the lead suddenly became precarious.
When Long Zaiyuan frowned and wanted to go on stage by himself, Liu Dingding, who had just wrapped the bandage and gauze, stood up again: "Let me go up!"
Yu Yan and Long Xiaochuan stopped at the same time: "No, your injury..."
"The skin injury is not a problem," Liu Dingding said with firm eyes and an urgent tone, "We can't delay it any longer, hurry up and replace me!"
Long Zaiyuan made a brief judgment and made a substitution request.
Liu Dingding, who returned to the field, ran vigorously and was in good shape, and immediately stabilized the situation.
If it weren't for the gauze wrapped around his left knee, and if it weren't for the blood seeping from the gauze, no one would believe that he had just been injured?
Seeing him bleeding on the court and still running non-stop, many spectators in the audience cried. Such a hard-working team deserves to win all the way!
