You'd better wrap me

Chapter 36 Fighting with the Air

Cheers erupted in the arena, and the game continued.

St. Mary's High School in the yellow and blue jersey kicked off the backcourt baseline. Point guard Drew trotted forward, glanced at LeBron, and hurriedly turned to shooting guard Romeo and other teammates. form.

Su Yang saw Drew's actions, and thought: "Pretend not to look at LeBron, trying to create the illusion that he won't pass the ball to LeBron? According to common sense, this round should be for LeBron. LeBron hit an answer ball?"

While thinking, Su Yang waved from the left wing,
Indicated to Yitzhak, who is the closest, to prepare to leave space around the cover and prepare for delay. The main Saint Mary center Willie McGee is a big fat man. If he uses the method of squeezing through the cover to chase, it will take a lot of time, and it is difficult to change the follow-up situation. Control, and with LeBron's explosive power, after receiving the basketball, he may directly rush to the basket, so someone must do the delay in advance.

Yitzhak immediately retreated half a step, bent his knees to lower his center of gravity, and took a posture that delayed his step, quite skillfully.

At the same moment, St. Mary's center Willie McGee turned around and stood on the fixed wall, while LeBron started and rushed to the top of the arc to find cover.

Su Yang then started running, quickly passed through the gap left by Yitzhak in advance, blocked in front of LeBron who had just received a pass from Drew, and then stood sideways to block the breakthrough space on the right. Make room on the left and guide LeBron.

In the right half, players such as Ron and Calvin from Santa Monica High School also shrank to the inside and gathered together.

The whole team came within one chorus of 'Please turn left'.

28 days of training before the game, under the leadership of Su Yang, the Santa Monica High School team, in addition to adapting to the overall aggressive pressing of St. Mary High School in advance, another important training is to let LeBron slow down and not let LeBron at the top of the arc High-speed breakthrough in the area, leading LeBron to the sideline, reducing the combined power of LeBron's sudden shots to the ultimate force LeBron to take more inefficient shots.

That kind of strategy is the result of years of research by the two major LeBron sufferers, the Spurs and the Celtics, and it should be used first.

"GOSH!"

LeBron's eyes widened, and he turned to move sideways to the left. His shoulders were slightly lowered at the 45-degree three-point line on the left, and he looked like he was about to exert force. Hot pursuit, and Yitzhak intercepted in advance.

The 45-degree position is useless, and LeBron continues to move to the left, and again uses Willie McGee to cover and get rid of Su Yang.

After getting rid of that moment, Yitzhak stepped forward without hesitation, and Su Yang squeezed through the cover and continued to chase.

Seeing that Su Yang returned to the defensive position, Yitzhak immediately rushed back to Willie McGee to prevent the ball from catching the ball and rushing to the basket.

Tossing a big circle back and forth, LeBron failed to initiate a breakthrough in his favorite way, and failed to pass the ball. The offense of the entire St. Mary's High School stagnated, and the offensive time passed rapidly. live.

Impatient urging gradually sounded from the sidelines.

"Come on straight away!
Perhaps LeBron didn't want to wait any longer. With a low growl, he suddenly lowered his shoulders, rolled over Su Yang and started to charge.Su Yang immediately lowered his center of gravity and followed closely with sliding steps. After returning from New York, two months of training made the confrontation better.

In the blink of an eye, the two reached the left waist.

LeBron raised his head and glanced quickly, took advantage of the momentum and took off, carrying Su Yang's block interference, and made a steady mid-range shot.

The basketball bounced back with a clatter.

The two teams huddled together in the paint, and the basketball flew out of the baseline under force, but the referee blew his whistle to call a violation and judged the frontcourt ball.

LeBron spat out his braces, dragged his teammates to the sidelines, formed a circle, made gestures, and quickly explained the arrangement.

While high-fiving his teammates, Su Yang sighed in his heart: "Thank Popovich, thank Thibodeau, the defensive ideas of the two of you are really useful, if it weren't for Isaac standing under the basket, and Ron and the others blocked the key pass The route, LeBron may not choose the pull-up jump shot, but just like that, he can also use his height advantage to force the shot, next time I have to find a way to cut the ball..."

Strategies such as sideways blocking left and right, the biggest advantage is guidance, and it can also prevent direction changes, but it is too far away from basketball.

After thinking about it, St. Mary's High School finished the discussion, and the referee seemed to give more time on purpose and didn't rush to serve.

LeBron, Drew, and Romeo stood in a 45-degree area on the right, center Willie McGee reached the top of the arc, and Sean Cotton stood outside the left wing and prepared to serve. The left half and the paint area were all vacant. , there are many options for operation.

Su Yang looked up at the timer and found that the attack time was only 2.1 seconds left. He thought: "At this time, it should be a three-point shot or a lob rush to the basket. Considering that the first tactic of St. Mary's High School was played by LeBron As a bait, now this one looks like LeBron uses the double screen to get rid of it, but there are also RIP running positions, and you can continue to focus on other people."

After thinking about it, Su Yang made up his mind, walked to Yitzhak who was supposed to guard Willie McGee, and whispered, "You go to my position. If LeBron gets the ball later, you will directly participate in double-teaming." Yitzhak heard this and immediately walked over.

Su Yang turned and walked to the left waist to stand still, ready to prevent the RIP movement of St. Mary's High School, and by the way, to prevent Sean Cotton from serving the ball to the top of the arc, and then Willie McGee took the ball and went directly to the basket. Ke went to talk to LeBron, and the middle road was also vacant.

But at this moment, there were no members of St. Mary's High School in the entire left half, and Su Yang seemed to be fighting wits with the air.

"What is he doing?"

In the VIP seat area on the sidelines, the actor Michael Weatherly laughed: "Wouldn't he be like his alumni, smoking marijuana before the game, and already in a trance? There are no players there at all! But I must say, his performance is top-notch, And pretending to be serious."

Jessica Alba didn't say a word, she just sighed in her heart: Strong jealousy can really change a person beyond recognition.

But not only Weatherly, but many audience members also didn't understand Su Yang's logic, either showing curiosity or laughing.

Hearing the laughter, LeBron subconsciously turned his head to check, and suddenly found Su Yang standing on the left waist. He was surprised at once, but was about to remind his teammates that the referee had whistled the ball, and the five-second limit for serving had already been activated. It was too late.

He had no choice but to follow his plan. LeBron kicked the ground vigorously and rushed to the top of the arc with the cover of Drew and Romeo. He raised his hands and shouted: "Give me, give me!" Go to the left waist.

At the same time, Sean Cotton, who got the ball from the left wing, was stunned: He could listen to LeBron's temporary command and pass the ball to LeBron at the top of the arc, but the opposite center was obviously ready to double-team, or he could follow the established plan and pass the ball to LeBron at the top of the arc. The ball was passed to Romeo who ran to the left waist, but Su Yang stood there like a guard, staring at him, really frightening panic.

Before thinking too much, the referee picked up the whistle and prepared to blow it for five seconds.

Sean Cotton quickly threw the ball to the left waist, thinking that the closer to the basket, the greater the chance of scoring.

He even deliberately threw it behind Su Yang's back.

Looking at the trajectory of the basketball, Su Yang took two steps back, bent his knees and kicked the ground with force, and the whole person flew up as if his feet were on a spring. He raised his left hand high above Romeo's head, and grabbed the ball forcefully.That arrogant appearance, like Jordan's super high-altitude steal.

The Staples Center burst into cheers.

The fans at the scene finally understood why Su Yang stood there ahead of time. It turned out that he had predicted the opponent's tactics.

In the VIP seating area on the sidelines, Michael Weatherly was dumbfounded. He wanted to argue subconsciously, but he knew he had nothing to say. He turned his head and saw Jessica Alba applauding and cheering excitedly. He felt as if he had suddenly eaten a large can of Swedish herring. .

In the ESPN live broadcast, Bill Walton shouted: "Appreciate Su Yang, he will make our lives better!"

In-court play continues.

Su Yang drove forward with the ball. Seeing that St. Mary's High School had no intention of pressing the backcourt, he raised his hand and passed the ball to Ron, then walked forward slowly. At the center line, he found that St. Mary's High School, apart from LeBron and Drew, The other three have already surrounded the paint area, falling on the short corner on the right, the waist on the left, and the elbow on the left. This is a typical one-star quadruple formation, and they must pinch the ball holder.

As long as there is a flanking attack, it will inevitably miss people, and if you focus on the quadruple, the basket and the bottom corner will be the weakest areas for defense.

It took only half a second to figure out the joints, Su Yang raised his hand and gestured at his teammate Tommy: "Go to the basket on the right..."

I didn't think about it, Tommy was only focused on running, and Su Yang didn't get the ball, so he didn't observe all the time, and didn't notice the gesture.

Seeing this, Su Yang was worried about missing the opportunity for LeBron to react, and directly shouted: "Tommy, the basket on the right."

Tommy was a little confused when he heard the words, and thought to himself, isn't there already Calvin standing on the bottom line on the right?Why are you still in the past.

"You come here and stand!"

Su Yang, who had already reached the right elbow, raised his finger to point to the bottom line on the right, and signaled to Tommy again.

Tommy didn't think about it anymore, and immediately started from the left wing, rushed to the basket on the right side, and stood there stupidly waiting for the next move.Meanwhile, St. Mary's follows the principle of proximity, and the player responsible for defending Tommy is center Willie McGee.

Some fans at the scene laughed.

Letting a 180+ centimeter guard go to the basket to fight against a 195+ centimeter center is losing his mind.

Key Santa Monica High is in the right downline area, where there is already a Calvin standing, wasting resources.

There are also some fans who are curious. Su Yang used to fight wits with the air before, but now he let his teammates do it.

"Stand up and don't run!"

Seeing Tommy arrive, Su Yang turned around and started to rush to the top of the arc, set up a wall to block Drew, and made a back screen for Ron.

At the moment when the cover was formed, Ron started to break through to the right. Seeing that LeBron was delayed in changing defense and was about to double-team, he hurriedly withdrew to pull the ball, turned around and passed the ball in a hurry, and Su Yang, who dismantled the outer bullet, received the basketball and started to rush to the basket. LeBron didn't have time to get back to the defense either.

Drew caught up with Su Yang for the first time, but the difference in height and weight was too big to cause any interference.

Saint Mary High School center Willie McGee rushed out to intercept, while Tommy under the basket was emptied, but at the short corner on the right, Sean Cotton, who was originally responsible for defending Calvin, shrank in time to fill Tommy. No room for Tommy to catch the ball.

That defensive rotation is really awesome.

Seeing this, Su Yang raised his hand and tried to throw the ball to the right corner, but saw Sean Cotton start back to defend Calvin, and decisively turned the ball straight to the right basket. The ground took off and put the basket to score, LeBron flew the nail board to miss the air.

Cheers erupted in the Staples Center.

The fans were stunned!

Su Yang predicted St. Mary's High School's double-team defensive strategy in advance this time, and further predicted other changes in the future.

It's amazing, like a prophet!
Amidst the cheers of the audience, St. Mary's High School launched a counterattack.

Su Yang followed LeBron and squatted in the right corner, turned his back to the center line, and ran to the basket with LeBron. Seeing Willie McGee and Sean Cotton continue to cover the wall, he subconsciously prepared to sink his shoulders and squeeze through, but Just lifting his foot, he saw LeBron suddenly stop and turn around.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang instinctively thought quickly.

"The St. Mary's High School team likes to use LeBron as the bait of the double-screen running tactic very much. Counting this time, it has played for the third time in the opening game. Now LeBron made an emergency stop and turned back, and the others also looked to the left. There is only one possibility..."

Without thinking too much, Su Yang turned around and rushed to the left wing, as if he was rushing into the air, but no fans at the scene dared to laugh again.

Drew, the point guard of St. Mary's High School, happened to pass the ball long, and that action was obviously passed to shooting guard Romeo.

But Su Yang broke out halfway, bent over to grab the ball with his right hand, and changed his left hand behind his back. Guang caught a glimpse of LeBron chasing him, then took two small steps, bent his knees and kicked off the ground, swung his arms in a circle in the air, turned the position of the basket, and dunked like a big windmill.

Basketball hit the net.

LeBron flies by in the air.

Cheers burst from the Staples Center, and everyone stood up.

Bill Wharton stood up, raised his hands high and opened his chest, and shouted like reciting poetry: "Praise Su Yang, praise the sun."
