Grow Freely Chapter 133 Who doesn't want to compete for the championship?
Halftime is coming to an end.
Long Xiaochuan thought about chicken soup and patted Pan Lei and others on the shoulders: "Come on, survive these 20 minutes, we..."
Before he could start cheating, a pair of rough, calloused hands pressed on his shoulders: "Let's take a rest for a while. We'll hold on to him first."
Long Xiaochuan turned around in surprise and saw a commotion in the Leizhai auditorium. They automatically separated to both sides, and four old men with big belly filed out.
He looked at Long Zaitian: "Abba, are you willing to play on the court?"
"Ahem," the wrinkles on Long Zaitian's face overflowed with kindness, but he pretended to be helpless: "Uncle Qingguo and Uncle Shengli think that Pan Lei and Changxing are too soft in playing, and you insist on playing for them, and I can't stop them.
Stay."
The four uncles wore old "shirts" and yellow rubber shoes and walked onto the basketball court. They waved and looked cute amidst the roar of cheers from the Leizhai audience. It was as funny and touching as a celebrity catwalk.
Long Xiaochuan noticed that his father never changed his uniform: "What about you? Are you still unwilling to play?"
Long Zaitian smiled awkwardly: "I'm overage. Cadre Yu didn't sign up for me."
"Village Ba" requires participating athletes to be between 18 and 50 years old, and Long Zaitian turns 51 this year.
Long Zaiyuan stood up and stretched his shoulders and neck: "Let me represent the Long family. Xiaochuan, you still lack a lot. Study hard."
Shi Lang was overjoyed when he saw these "real old rivals". He replaced Xue Zhuang and the substitutes, and he, Liu Dingding, Wang Yisheng and other main players played the second half.
He joked with his teammates: "There are really no people in Lei Village. Even the Laobang dishes are served at the top. Brothers, we didn't have enough fun on March 3rd. Let's continue to torture them today!"
Liu Dingding even shouted arrogantly, "if you don't lead by 30 points, you will have to run five kilometers as a penalty".
Pan Lei was listening, worried: "Brother Chuan, can my uncle and the others withstand it?"
Long Xiaochuan handed him a bottle of water: "Don't worry, since Uncle Yuan asked us to withstand it in the first half, he should have some ideas. We must understand the good intentions of the old uncles, no matter how they play,
In the last ten minutes we have to rely on ourselves to win.”
Luo Gaozhan prides himself on having a sharp vision, but he still has no confidence when looking at the situation on the field: "It's difficult! We just got together before, without tacit understanding or cooperation, but we were able to defeat these elders. With the impact of Shi Lang and Liu Dingding,
I'm afraid you uncles won't be able to last five minutes."
His worries are not unreasonable. Amamura is currently in a run-and-gun lineup that can restrain the senior team. When attacking, he is like a wolf and a tiger, and when defending, the whole court is pressed. Even when he goes up, it will be very difficult.
Long Xiaochuan nodded: "Let's take a look first and then talk. We are ready to come to the rescue at any time."
On the court, the average age of the Leizhai players was 20 years older than their opponents. They stretched their muscles and kicked off the ball directly.
Yucun players have followed their opponents according to their respective divisions of labor. Shi Lang is guarding Long Zaiyuan, Liu Dingding is guarding Sun Shengli, Wang Yisheng is following Luo Xiangdong, Tian Zhongbao is pressing Yang Hongbing, and the remaining Pan Qingguo is guarded by the substitute center.
Long Zaiyuan was not surprised at all when he saw the full-court press. He passed the ball to Sun Shengli and at the same time slipped away and ran toward the opponent's basket.
After receiving the ball, Sun Shengli immediately passed it to Yang Hongbing. Luo Xiangdong stood in a triangle position to respond. The three of them did not dribble the ball once, and quickly sent the basketball to the frontcourt by passing and receiving.
At this time, Pan Qingguo was already stuck under the basket and wanted the ball. Since Yucun Wang Yisheng was a little slow, Lei Zhai formed a short three-on-two situation in the frontcourt.
Long Zaiyuan, Luo Xiangdong, and Pan Qingguo quickly passed the ball to mobilize the defense of Shi Lang and others. Finally, Long Zaiyuan once again used a breakthrough ball to assist Pan Qingguo to score in the open space under the basket.
The audience was in jubilation, and commentator B quickly applauded: "Leizhai got off to a good start in the second half."
But commentator A ruined the situation: "Don't be too happy, watch Yu Cun quickly counterattack!"
Yucun lost 2 points but didn't seem to care at all. Wang Yisheng served quickly from the baseline, Liu Dingding quickly advanced, Shi Lang stepped to the top of the arc to support the pick-and-roll and immediately cut inside, Liu Dingding attracted the two defensive hooks and lobbed the basket.
The substitute center blocked the screen, and Shi Lang jumped up high to receive an alley-oop dunk.
The second slam dunk in the game made everyone in Yucun jump up excitedly. They were immersed in ecstasy and completely forgot about the embarrassment just now.
Commentator A: "Beautiful! This combination is done smoothly and smoothly. It is exactly the routine they used at the beginning of the first half."
Commentator B analyzed the reasons why Lei Zhai lost points this time.
The last time Leizhai was able to break through, it relied on Long Zaiyuan's experience and the quick reactions of Long Xiaochuan and Sun Changxing. But this time when Shi Lang dunked, the three Leizhai players had not yet come back, and he was blocked by the center again.
Living in a location, you can only watch the ball and sigh.
On the court, Long Zaiyuan clapped his hands and encouraged the three big brothers who had just returned: "It doesn't matter, we still have a 9-point lead, so play slowly!"
He played with big brothers like Pan Qingguo and Yang Hongbing eight years ago, and they are quite familiar with each other. When they were harvesting rice, they had already discussed how to break the full-court pressing tactic, which was the "diamond" position just now.
If we fight steadily, we don't expect to defeat our opponents. As long as we don't get overtaken or even widen the point difference too much, Lei Zhai will have a chance to win.
However, he counted everything except Amemura's powerful three-point shooting ability.
Influenced by the trend of the small ball era in the NBA, Shi Lang also trained several three-point shooters, including Tanaka Tao and Wang Yisheng, both of whom are masters in this field.
In the first half, they were restrained by everyone in Lei Village and didn't have many chances to take shots. However, in the second half, these old men were slow to return to defense. When they attacked with the ball, there were basically open spaces in the frontcourt, so they just shot casually.
Even if they fail to make a shot, having a powerful power forward like Shi Lang grabbing rebounds can always ensure that the ball is in their hands.
In this way, they were able to score a three-pointer in every offensive round, and they also made adjustments in the defensive round. After being beaten twice by Lei Zhai, they gave up the full-court press and instead played
Zone defense, defended two rounds with a steal and a block.
Just over 6 minutes into the second half, Long Xiaochuan called a timeout.
On the one hand, he wanted to buy some breathing time for the uncles, and on the other hand, he also wanted to adjust the rhythm. After all, the score had become 30:33, and Lei Zhai was 3 points behind.
Seeing the uncles who were flushed, panting, and exhausted from running back and forth continuously, he became anxious and asked Long Zaiyuan to fight in advance: "Uncle, we can't continue the fight like this. Let's take the field instead."
Pan Lei, Sun Changxing and others couldn't hold it any longer and gathered around: "Yes, we have rested, let's go!"
Long Zaiyuan looked at the timer and held Long Xiaochuan's shoulders: "Do you still remember the parallel steps I taught you before?"
"Remember."
"Okay, now it's time for your performance!"
Long Zaiyuan turned around fiercely, and looked at everyone with an imposing manner: "If you want to win, just work hard for me!"
