Chapter 451 The Coach's War
Chapter 451 The Coach's War
In the fight for the ball, Zhou Cheng easily moved the basketball to his back, and Zeng Chengbin controlled the ball.
The competition between Ludong Agricultural University and Yucheng College of Arts and Sciences officially started.
At this time, the head coaches of both teams sat in chairs and waited and watched.
Lunong is still a conventional tactic. The team uses a magically revised triangle offense, and finally gives the ball to Zhang Luowei on the strong side.
Zhang Luowei easily opened the scoring for the team with a jumper.
Zhang Luowei felt too relaxed, it was no different from practicing himself during training.
Ball transfer.
Looking back, Yucheng Wenli's offense was very patient.It took the team more than ten seconds to get into position.
After Wang Shuangyu passed the ball as a point guard, the small forward passed the ball back to Wang Shuangyu through Zheng Kehai's pick-and-roll.
Wang Shuangyu used Zheng Kehai's pick-and-roll to break through the inside line, but Zhou Cheng was already waiting for him.
Wang Shuangyu hurriedly scored to the shooting guard who wandered to the bottom corner of the strong side three-point line.
The shooting guard got a shot and made a decisive three-pointer.
Basketball hit!
2:3
"Interesting, the attack just now took nearly 25 seconds."
Huang Lijun looked at the attack time displayed on the digital panel on the backboard, and finally realized Yucheng Wenli's extremely patient offensive tactics.
In fact, Yucheng Wenli's tactics are somewhat similar to hammer tactics, but Yucheng Wenli lacks the support of a powerful center like Duncan, and relies more on the COSCO shots of outside players.
The game between the two teams is still advancing, but with the improvement of Yucheng Wenli's defensive strength, Lunong's offensive efficiency has gradually dropped a lot.
Especially when Zhang Luowei took the ball, Yucheng Wenli began to use two people to double-team.
Zhang Luowei obviously has no habit of breaking points, which also makes Yucheng Wenli's defense play a role.
As for Yucheng Wenli's offense, although every time it seems to be a dangerous moment and the attack time is about to run out, in the end, they can always find the opportunity to make a shot and hit a three-pointer.
There were 3 three-pointers in the first quarter.
This directly made Huang Lijun unable to hold back and called a long timeout.
CUBA has 8 long timeouts, four timeouts are not allowed in the fourth quarter, and only two timeouts are allowed in the last moment.
Huang Lijun called the players over and scolded them. In his opinion, there was no problem with the team's offense, but a problem with the defense.
"Extend! Their three-pointers feel very hot. If they want to break through, they will put them in! Ah Cheng and A Kai (the team's fourth position) can solve them!"
After Huang Lijun finished scolding, the team's defensive range extended outward.
Zheng Kehai once again attacked and faced Lunong's big center Zhou Cheng with the ball alone.He wanted to try back hitting, but found that Zhou Cheng didn't move a muscle.
Zheng Kehai was shocked: What a powerful force!
Fortunately, Wang Shuangyu, who came in Juanqie, had a chance, and Zheng Kehai hurriedly gave it out.
Wang Shuangyu made a layup.
Huang Lijun came directly to the sidelines to stare.
"Missing someone! Big Brother!"
Zeng Chengbin was a little ashamed and hurriedly apologized to the coach.
On the other side, Han Shicheng also came to the sidelines, but he did it in reverse.Han Shicheng clapped his hands and encouraged the players, which made the Yucheng Wenli players on the field feel like they had been beaten to death. After all, the coach rarely praised himself.
But at the last moment, Zhou Cheng's small hook gave the team a two-point lead.
The first quarter is over.
20:18
The coaches of the two teams began to arrange tactics, and Han Shicheng was obviously dissatisfied with the team's laxity at the last moment, so he also scolded Zheng Kehai.
However, Zheng Kehai cannot be blamed for this. After all, his defense is considered a success. However, Zhou Cheng's mid-range is quite good, and Zheng Kehai, who is 1.9 meters eight, suffers too much.
From the outside world, Zhou Cheng is the next Bart.
Next, Han Shicheng still emphasized the team's tactics and asked the players to be patient.
Huang Lijun is emphasizing defensive issues. It is true that the team allowed Yucheng Wenli to score too many goals that should not be scored.
"Lovie, is there any problem? You have to take charge of the team's offense."
Huang Lijun looked at Zhang Luowei, with very high expectations for him.
Zhang Luowei wiped his sweat and patted his chest with his fist, "Coach, don't worry! We won't be blocked here."
In the second quarter, Zhang Luowei continued to stay on the court. Huang Lijun meant to let him continue to hold the ball.
Speaking of Lunong's tactics, because of Liu Guang, he is particularly obsessed with players in the forward position.Zhou Tingyong and Zhang Luowei behind are both physically strong strikers.
Lu Nong likes to imitate the Bulls' triangle offensive tactics, especially during Liu Guang's period. The triangle tactics were developed by Lu Nong in China.However, with the development of Huaxia basketball, the shortcomings of the triangle tactics have gradually been magnified.
The triangle tactic focuses more on the offense in the half court, and it is a bit out of date for Huaxia basketball, which has always attached great importance to three-pointers.
So Lunong is also constantly improving, and finally combined the core players' heads-up with the team's pick-and-roll system.And Zhang Luowei is the most important offensive point of the team, so the team will require Zhang Luowei to be on the court for more than 10 minutes.
As a result, Zhang Luowei averaged 20.3 points per game and became No.2 in Cuba's scoring list, second only to Han Dejun's average of 20.9 points per game.
In the game, Zhang Luowei was able to succeed in singles against any defender, and the success rate of singles was very high.
Facing Zheng Kehai, a drum washing machine easily bypassed Zheng Kehai, who was moving slowly, and successfully split the button with one hand.
Facing a misplaced perimeter player, use his strong body to squeeze in and hit the jumper before the defender comes up.
Seeing this, Han Shicheng called a timeout, intending to interrupt Zhang Luowei's touch.
"Team him! The task of the two of you is to double-team him all the time! I don't ask you to completely guard him, but you have to stick to him and slow down his speed! Use him up so that he doesn't score so easily!"
Han Shicheng's real intention is to consume Zhang Luowei's physical strength. As for the other Lunong players, Han Shicheng asked them not to get the ball as much as possible.
According to the new Jordan rules, Han Shicheng, who was a soldier, does not allow himself to use some actions that should not be used to block opponents.However, the Jordan rule is indeed the best way for Yucheng Wenli to deal with Zhang Luowei.
In the second quarter, Zhang Luowei only rested for 3 minutes and scored 12 points in a single quarter.Lunong once led Yucheng Arts and Sciences by 7 points.
At the end of halftime, the score was 52:45.
Lunong's old team leader saw the clues, and he hurriedly reminded Huang Lijun that Huang Lijun hoped that Yucheng Wenli would be destroyed in the third quarter, and he would clock out in the third quarter.
However, Huang Lijun's thoughts are somewhat idealized...
"Coach, don't worry, I also see Yucheng's ideas, but their ideas must be realized by their players."
The old coach felt that Huang Lijun regarded Zhang Luowei as his omnipotent teammate back then.This made the old coach very worried, so he decided to call Huang Lijun out of the corridor.
Huang Lijun didn't understand why the old coach pulled him out alone, but he still stood up and listened carefully.
"Xiaojun, the game is about to start, I won't say too much, you are the commander of this team, I always believe that you can be an excellent coach.
Now in the top eight, everyone in this team has put in a lot of hard work, whether it's Lowe, Zhou Cheng, or Cheng Bin, their efforts are huge.And you have to trust everyone on the team.
Even Liu Guang needed your help back then. "
The words of the old coach are also what he has always wanted to say to Huang Lijun.
Huang Lijun looked at the old coach's expression and nodded solemnly.
Only at this time did he realize that he was always a student of the old coach.
Soon Lunong's situation took a turn for the worse in the third quarter.Yucheng Wenli felt hot again, and Wang Shuangyu hit a few three-pointers in a frenzy.The difference between the two teams was nearly evened out.
In the team, except for Zhang Luowei, the other players felt cold, and several shots were hit and popped out.
This made Huang Lijun realize that something was wrong.
The whole team began to panic, and the number of turnovers increased. In the 7th minute of the third quarter, Yucheng Wenli overtook Lunong.
This shocked the fans on the sidelines.
What's the situation?Is Yucheng Wenli's counterattack really going to be staged again?
Even though Huang Lijun hurriedly called a timeout to allow other players on the team to increase their possession of the ball, Han Shicheng of Yucheng Wenli also saw Lunong's intentions and ordered the players to consume the opponent with unlimited defenses.
The dog skin plaster-like defense did not make Lunong feel better.
At 65:69 at the end of the third quarter, Yucheng Wenli led by 4 points.
Lunong was overtaken after the third quarter, and the morale of the players was very low.
Everyone in Lunong is ready to wait for the coach's reprimand and a new round of tactical arrangements.But what they waited for was Huang Lijun's bow.
This made everyone in the team a little confused. They didn't know why the coach apologized to him. After all, it was everyone's bad touch that made the team fall behind.According to the procedure, it should be Huang Lijun who scolded everyone.
"Everyone played well, this time it's my problem." Huang Lijun's words were concise, but still shocked everyone.
The head coach actually apologized to everyone. As a team coach, apologizing is a big taboo.
"There is a problem with my tactics. In my system, I have been ignoring you."
What Huang Lijun said made everyone understand.
Zhang Luowei's position in the coach's heart has always made everyone jealous.It's not that everyone doesn't have opinions, after all, everyone was the pride of their own high school in the past, so why should they be inferior to Luo Wei.
Although Zhang Luowei is very powerful, why can't you trust us?We can also play the value that we can play.
But in Huaxia, the coach has absolute authority, and everyone dare not contradict Huang Lijun.
When Huang Lijun admitted his problem in front of everyone, a lump in everyone's heart fell down.
It turns out that the coach will also admit his mistakes.
Although everyone didn't reply, the resentment towards Huang Lijun in their hearts was eliminated a lot.
Everyone looked at the short time, Huang Lijun hurriedly arranged tactics.
He decided to take Zhang Luowei down to rest first. After all, Zhang Luowei only rested for 3 minutes in the second quarter today.However, Huang Lijun still hesitated in his heart.
But Zhang Luowei shook his head, "Old Huang, it's okay, I can still play!" He felt that he should carry the team on his shoulders like his idol Liu Guang.
However, Zhou Cheng stood up and said: "You rest first, your physical strength is about to run out, what should you do at the critical moment. Coach, I think I can handle Zheng Kehai, and I can handle him with brute force! To see him."
Zeng Chengbin also spoke: "Old Huang, believe me, my speed can pass that Wang Shuangyu."
Huang Lijun finally made up his mind to put Zhang Luowei on the bench.This surprised Han Shicheng, and at the same time, he felt uneasy in his heart.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, without the defense of the arrow figure, Yucheng Wenli couldn't grasp the key point.
Zeng Chengbin used his extremely fast speed to force Wang Shuangyu, and Derek White as Zeng Chengbin's template can be said to be very suitable for the occasion.
The next week, Zhou Cheng hit a half-stop again.Zheng Kehai, as he said, is a rough guy.
The offensive of Yucheng Arts and Sciences was also blocked by Lu Nong. In terms of talent, Lu Nong strengthened Yucheng Arts and Sciences too much.
Han Shicheng felt helpless, he knew that the dark horse Yucheng Wenli had come to an end.
After the third minute of the fourth quarter, Lunong overtook the score.
What's interesting is that Wang Shuangyu began to try his own singles, wanting to overtake Lunong.
Wang Shuangyu's few singles were really successful. At this time, people remembered that Wang Shuangyu was once the proud son of a city.He just sacrificed himself and integrated into Han Shicheng's system.
However, Wang Shuangyu's desperate efforts failed to restore the team's decline.
Because Zhang Luowei came on stage...
In the end, Lunong defeated Yucheng Arts and Sciences 90:80.
The magic of Yucheng Wenli disappeared.
Judging from the score, Lunong should have easily defeated Yucheng, but anyone who has watched the game knows the thrill of it.
Zhang Luowei scored 35 points, Zeng Chengbin and Zhou Chenghe scored 30 points, Lu Nong's genius shined again.
And Wang Shuangyu's 27 points did not fall behind Zhang Luowei.
A little lonely when he left.
When the two coaches met, Han Shicheng said with emotion: "This game is very exciting, and Lunong is indeed a great team."
Huang Lijun smiled and said: "The same is true for Yucheng Wenli. I think Yucheng Wenli has blazed its own path."

In the fight for the ball, Zhou Cheng easily moved the basketball to his back, and Zeng Chengbin controlled the ball.
