Chapter 389 Provocation
The world is constantly developing and progressing, and so is basketball. In the most primitive definition of basketball, the organizational guard is the last position among the five people on the court. In the early days of the NBA, no organizational defender became the top superstar of the league. That era belonged to the world of big people. George McCann, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell were the seven-foot-long people who ruled the NBA. It was not until the birth of "Magician" Elvin Johnson and "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas in the 1980s that the importance of organizing defenders gradually became prominent.
The 1990s belonged to the era of the four centers named Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Moning. John Stockton and Kevin Johnson, who survived in the cracks, barely maintained the glory of the organization's defenders.
But in the 21st century, with Jason Kidd leading the basket to the finals twice and Steve Nash winning the regular season MVP, the importance of organizing guards has reached an unprecedented level. After Kidd and Nash, a new generation of organization defenders such as Chris Paul and Deron Williams appeared again. If "the insider won the world" ten years ago, then today, having an excellent organizational defender is the most important foundation for a team to win the championship.
At the beginning of 2005, this was still the rookie season for Paul and Delon, but even so, the two of them, together with Raymond Felton, have become the core players of their respective teams. Paul became the "Bee", Delong took over Stockton's gun, and Felton led the young Bobcats. On the road to the playoffs.
Cai Xiao would like to tell Xu Yong that it is not that he likes to hold the ball in singles, but because it is the general trend. No matter how aggressive an organizational defender is, no matter how keen the insight and accurate the pass, it is impossible for him to stand on the field.
After opening his mouth, Cai Xiao still chose to be silent. Obviously, Xu Yong did not want to listen to his explanation. One mountain does not allow two tigers, except one father and one mother. At least Cai Xiaoxin thinks so. Anyway, he is also from Miao Hong's national team, but Xu Yong is only valued by the coach because of Yao Ming. Otherwise, he must be the core of Nanyang's model.
"I don't think any of you want to lose this game, right? If there is, then stand up. If not, then all of you sing a song for me. Ji Gang glanced at all the team members with a complicated expression, and then slowly said, "Unity is strength. I hope you can think about why unity is power when you sing this song! Why is one person short and ten strong?"
Silence, dead silence.
No one takes the lead and no one speaks. Naturally, it's not because the team members can't sing this song, but because they can't open their mouths. You know, this is a national live broadcast. It's embarrassing to sing stupidly.
"sing!"
Ji Gang shouted, stood up angrily, cleared his throat and continued, "I'll give you a head, get ready, get up!" Unity is strength, and unity is strength!"
"This power is iron, this power is steel..."
The coach has already started singing. Even if the team members are reluctant, they can only choose to sing along. When they first started singing, they still have awkward expressions and their voices are low, but while singing, they slowly forget everything and roar loudly.
The whole audience looked curiously, and the broadcast will naturally not miss this very inspirational scene. The song "Unity is Power" is still very popular. At least nine out of ten audiences can sing, and the slowly infected audience also began to hum...
Yan Lingfeng looked at the opponents who were singing in a funny way, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. I have to say that the model coach of Nanyang still has two brushes. The move he adopted before the team fell into an infighting crisis is the most appropriate and effective way, no matter Xu Yong and Cai Xiao. Whether people are infected by the lyrics, they will definitely unite in the competition just for this song, at least they can't look at each other as angrily as before.
After singing, Ji Gang's expression became colder. His eyes swept over the faces of the players as if covered with ice, raised his finger to the score on the curtain wall, and then pointed to the stadium, "I have reminded you more than once that this is a game we can't afford to lose! Now I still want to emphasize that I don't care whether you like it or not, but on the court, you must treat your teammates as brothers, believe him, support him, and unite, so that we can survive. Otherwise, we won't see any chance at all.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yong looked at Cai Xiao and nodded slowly.
Cai Xiao also looked at Xu Yong and raised his right hand.
Meeting with a smile, Xu Yong held Cai Xiao's palm tightly and shook it hard.
The two people looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent. When the mind is communicated, language is not so important.
Back on the field, it was obvious that the spirit of all the Nanyang model players had changed greatly. This change was seen in Yan Lingfeng's eyes. His heart unconsciously accelerated and jumped, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Yan Lingfeng's expression was never more solemn.
Nanyang model can't afford to lose this game, and Shuiyun also can't lose. If he loses, he will fight with the powerful Tsinghua Affiliated Middle School in the last game. No matter whether you win or lose, the initiative to qualify will not be in your own hands.
Inspired by the song "Unity is Strength" and the desire to win, Nanyang models finally showed their horrible side after the end of this pause. Cai Xiao's high dribble attracted the defense. Xu Yong got rid of Wu Fengtao's defensive counter-running basket by running continuously. Cai Xiao, who was quick-eyed, made an accurate pass to the ground. After getting the ball, Xu Yong burst out in place, and a pair of hands slammed the basket into a very exaggerated angle, which made people couldn't help worrying about the basket. The quality is coming.
Xu Yong did not let go of his hands at the first time, but hung his hands in the basket and made a very exaggerated pull-up. His long hair floated without wind, hissing long roar, domineering, ** overflowing.
Yan Lingfeng looked at Xu Yong on the basket, grinned, happily supported Xu Yong's knee and patted him gently, and then kindly reminded him, "Dunking is risky. You need to be cautious when hanging the basket!"
Xu Yong was intoxicated in his domineering side leak. Hearing Yan Lingfeng's crow's mouth kick his legs unpleasantly, he glanced at him, easily opened his hands and fell to the floor, and snorted coldly, "Cat crying rat, fake mercy!"
False compassion or true kindness, Yan Lingfeng does not seem to explain too much. In his previous life, before the bad news of Xu Yong's injury and having to stop his basketball career came out, no one would believe that this promising genius would become yesterday's yellow flower. I still remember that Yan Lingfeng still regretted that China lost a swinging man who might enter the NBA. Xu Yong is still a talented and talented teenager now. If he can, Yan Lingfeng naturally does not want this new star that is likely to become a teammate in the future. After all, according to the current development trend, Yan Lingfeng and Xu Yong will become one of the members of the men's national basketball team in the future.
18:16!
Just like the confrontation between the two armies, the players on the basketball court can't always fight, and if one side is strong, the other side will inevitably fall. Nanyang models began to rise, and it was difficult for Shuiyun No.1 Middle School to continue to be strong. In the face of Sun Shoujian, who is crazy and close to defense, Yan Lingfeng still can't effectively complete the breakthrough despite his superiority in all aspects. One person works hard and is invincible. A person's potential will never be exhausted, but it needs to be constantly stimulated.
He had no choice but to pass the ball, but Wu Fengtao, who received the ball, also had no better way to crack Wu Fengtao's defense. In the end, he could only passively shot when the offensive time was approaching. Although his strength was not bad, after all, he did not have the energy to turn corruption into magic like a superstar, and the basketball unexpectedly deviated from the goal.
The battle of the outside line has become popular, and the competition for the inside line is extremely fierce. Gao Yang and Xu Zhong's physical strength are very strong, but under the desperate defense of the two model inside players in Nanyang, Zhang Bo and Liu Dapeng, they did not seize a favorable position. They were both squeezed behind their opponents, and finally the rebound fell into the hands of Xu Yong, who turned around and jumped high into the inside line.
Although Xu Yong's physical fitness is also excellent, he does not have the ability of Yan Lingfeng to turn the top in the air. After landing, he passed the ball out. Cai Xiao, who had already told the starter, to look back at the moon to catch the ball in his hand, and then gritted his teeth to raise the speed to the highest, and rushed to the half of Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School like a strong wind.
Sun Feiying, who fought and retreated, was almost broken by Cai Xiao's sharp acceleration, and her legs were soft and sat directly on the ground. Yan Lingfeng, who was running wildly, finally stood on the inner line before Cai Xiao patted the horse, opened her arms, and waited for her opponent to kill him like fire.
Yan Lingfeng's height, bounce and strength are better than Cai Xiao, and he is well prepared. At this time, the most correct choice for Cai Xiao is to stop and wait for his teammates to come forward to support, but Cai Xiao did not do so. Yan Lingfeng is strong, but at this moment, in his eyes, Yan Lingfeng There is no difference from the previous losers. Cai Xiao has always been like this. He opened his bow without turning back. As long as he gets up at his speed, he will never stop until he achieves his goal.
Yan Lingfeng's position selection is very accurate. His feet just stood a little in front of the reasonable collision area, but Cai Xiao had no intention of colliding with him at all. Suddenly, there was a sudden stop near the free throw line, the ball jumped up in both hands, and there was no preparation for shooting at all. One hand was an arrow. Shot out, the target pointed straight to the basket behind Yan Lingfeng.
In the fast attack, it is necessary to take a lot of risks to make a jump shot. It's okay to score a goal. Once the basketball basket comes out, it will not only miss a valuable scoring opportunity, but also have a very bad impact on the team's morale.
But Cai Xiao doesn't care at all, not because he is a jerk, but because he has strong confidence that he can hit this shot.
Confidence is often a double-edged sword. If you can't hurt your opponent, you are likely to hurt yourself. Fortunately, Cai Xiao's strength with his sword was well mastered this time, and the basketball flew into the basket accurately.
18:18!
Seeing the trend of the score being pulled away, Nanyang model once again tenaciously equalized the score. Xu Yong and Cai Xiao, the two most outstanding models in Nanyang, each scored two points and pulled the two teams back to the same starting line.
Yan Lingfeng took a deep look at Cai Xiao, and then slowly raised his thumb.
"What do you mean?" Cai Xiao raised his hand proudly and looked at Yan Lingfeng with a provocative face and asked.
"I envy you very much." Yan Lingfeng laughed and said, "People with simple minds are often much happier than people like us who look forward and look forward to the future."
Cai Xiao rolled his eyes and turned his head and left. With his mouth, he was not Yan Lingfeng's opponent, so there was no need to humiliate himself.
"What should I do?" Wu Fengtao walked to Yan Lingfeng and asked with a worried face.
"Cold!" Yan Lingfeng answered carelessly, then looked at him with comforting eyes, patted the eldest brother on the shoulder, and easily picked up the basketball and retreated to the bottom line and sent it to him.
Yan Lingfeng did not give him a reassuring answer, but his eyes gave Wu Fengtao the greatest comfort. That's a pair of eyes that are motionless, that's a pair of eyes that make me motionless, that's a pair of eyes that can bring infinite power to people.
Wu Fengtao passed the ball back to Yan Lingfeng, and then smiled and said, "It's up to you."
"Hmm." Yan Lingfeng nodded silently and rushed to the front court without saying anything more.
After changing the previous slow action, Yan Lingfeng quickly came to the opponent's half as if he had stepped on two hot wheels. Sun Shoujian was still entangled in front of him like a mad dog, but this time Yan Lingfeng did not pass the ball again. What is the core? The core is the person who can turn the tide and save the team from fire at a critical moment. What is the critical moment? The critical moment is not only the last moment of the game, but also the team is in trouble. For example, now, it is also a critical moment.
Sun Shoujian's height is about 170 meters, which is still the height after wearing shoes, with thin arms and legs, black and thin. It doesn't look like a basketball player at all, but more like a sprinter or a children's group.
Fast hands and quick response, which is Sun Shoujian's advantage. However, when Yan Lingfeng's shameless choice to play back singles, his advantages suddenly disappeared, but his weaknesses were obvious. His strength and confrontation with the shortcomings above made Sun Shoujian very injured. He was pushed back by Yan Lingfeng, who was like a bulldozer, and retreated without retreating, but he was still retreating...
retreated all the way to the bottom line, Yan Lingfeng finally showed mercy, recovered a step, turned to the basket sideways, raised the ball with one hand, raised his left arm high, aimed at the basket wrist and gently turned over, and attacked the basket with a left-handed sky hook that made all defenders powerless.
"Swipe!" With a crisp sound, the basketball passed through the net accurately, setting off white waves...
Yan Lingfeng did not celebrate the goal, but ran to the front of Nanyang's model bench, stretched out his hands with a solemn expression on his face and made a gesture to request a pause.
The competition stipulates that players do not have the right to apply for suspension of the game, so Yan Lingfeng does not have to worry about technical fouls like Chris Webb, which led to the failure of the Michigan Five Tigers, which were popular in the United States in the 1990s.
Ji Gang looked at Yan Lingfeng with a pale face and tried to control his impulse to hit people. He ignored Yan Lingfeng's provocation, but turned to the referee, with a grievance comparable to Dou'e in the snowy sky in June.
The referee hesitated for a moment, but still ignored Ji Gang's grievances. It is a person who can see that Yan Lingfeng is provoking Ji Gang, but on the one hand, Yan Lingfeng did not speak, and on the other hand, Yan Lingfeng did not make insulting gestures, so it is risky to punish Yan Lingfeng simply judging from motives. Who doesn't know that Shuiyun Yizhong is a team that refuses to suffer losses? If you want to play some shady things in their game, you must prepare your helmet in advance.
There was no way to redress the grievance. Ji Gang could only put up with this anger, stared at Yan Lingfeng fiercely, and comforted himself with Ah Q's spirit. This guy is a psychopath, and whoever is serious with him is as crazy as him.
A minute later, the psycho comes again!
After Xu Yong turned over and missed the jump shot, Yan Lingfeng grabbed the defensive rebound and advanced to the front court with a fast attack. With the advantage of speed and body, he forcibly squeezed into the depths of Nanyang's exemplary defense line. After throwing the score, he once again ran to Ji Gang, made another request for a pause, and reminded Ji again. Just now, if you can't hold on, you can ask for a suspension! Suspension may not be a panacea, but for you Nanyang models, it is impossible not to pause!
Ji Gang's face has turned purple and blue, and his two fists are tightly clenched. He really doesn't want to be a mental illness, but the reality makes him nervous.
For good, Yan Lingfeng knew the truth that he would accept it as soon as he saw it was good. He didn't wait for Ji to go crazy and retreated. No one among the players on the field understood more thoroughly than he did.
