Heizi's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

Chapter 190

Beep beep——

A harsh whistle sounded, and the five-on-five match between the National Youth Team and the Men's National Basketball Team officially began!
In the jump ball session, Xiao Gao successfully won the ball for the first attack with his excellent static talent.

Xiangyang caught the ball in the backcourt, glanced at everyone present, then raised his right finger and shouted: "Slow down, slow down!"

Due to language problems, Xiangyang is currently unable to communicate freely with his teammates on the National Youth Team, so before the game, they did not have much tactical communication, but simply exchanged pick-and-roll tactics.

This is also doomed, Xiang Yang can't organize too complicated tactics.However, the purpose of this training match is also to conduct selection, to strip away the outer layer of tactics and more fully demonstrate the players' personal abilities. For Sun Jiao and Hai Lao, this is not a bad thing.

However, as a master tactician, Xiangyang still felt a little uncomfortable with so many complex and high-end tactics in his mind that he couldn't implement.

"Come up and block one!"

Xiang Yang waved towards Xiao Gao. Since it was their first time to form a team, Xiang Yang naturally couldn't expect his teammates to be like Hai Chang, who could understand what he meant with just one look, so he had to shout loudly.

Fortunately, Xiao Gao's size is there. Even if there is no tacit understanding, his pick-and-roll quality is still excellent.

Xiang Yang passed by Xiao Gao, and just as he was observing the breach in the opponent's defense, an unexpected figure appeared in his field of vision.

I saw Zhou Yi coming directly to Xiang Yang for some reason and making a gesture to change defense towards the defender who was originally standing here.

Everyone present was stunned. Only Li Wenyu had expected this. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he had already begun to pray for Zhou Yi in his heart.

As a teammate in the same team, he knew Zhou Yi's abilities too well. He was pretty good among the entire national team. But facing Xiang Yang, Li Wenyu dared to say that if Zhou Yi could defend him alone, , then he would eat the basketball on the court!

However, Zhou Yi naturally didn't know the mental activities of his captain. At this moment, while observing Xiang Yang's dribbling movements, he said jokingly: "Hey newcomer, coming all the way from Neon must not be easy, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I I admire you very much. You dare to go abroad to play alone at such a young age, but not everyone has the courage!"

Xiang Yang frowned slightly, observing the situation while retreating and dribbling. Don't get me wrong, he frowned not because Zhou Yi was talking to him, but because just when Zhou Yi came inexplicably to change defense, his teammates on the flank appeared. A lucky chance.

However... that teammate did not seize this opportunity. Xiang Yang was even confident that if anyone from Hai Chang's starting five was in that position, they would not watch this opportunity pass by.

[Is it still too inexperienced? 】

Xiang Yang shook his head secretly, temporarily forgetting his teammate's mistake.

In fact, it was not only the teammate's slow reaction, but also the national team did not expect Zhou Yi's sudden change of defense. It was obviously the player Zhou Yi's whim.

However, their overall awareness of assisting defense was very good. Faced with the gap vacated by their teammates, several teammates immediately covered the gap and filled the gap.

"There are two brushes..."

Xiang Yang muttered, and at the same time glanced at Coach Sun who was standing on the sidelines watching the game, and had a general understanding of the latter's coaching level.

At this time, Zhou Yi, who was still standing in front of Xiangyang, found that he seemed to be ignored. He looked at Xiangyang and glanced around but never looked at him, and his face could not help showing a trace of sullenness.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, can't you see me?"

Xiang Yang came back to his senses, he looked at Zhou Yi in front of him, as if he understood something.

[Do you think...you think I'm a soft persimmon? 】

Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately made a gesture to his teammates to pull away. He wanted to play singles!

"Oh, interesting, do you want to single me out?"

Zhou Yi stretched his neck, waved towards Xiangyang pretendingly, and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, I don't care how good or famous you are in Nihong, maybe you are a genius Maybe, but the level of golf is to die for!"

"Look at you, you are less than 20 years old, right? How many years have you played? 5 years or [-] years? Do you know how long I have been playing?"

Zhou Yi stretched out his right thumb and pointed at his chest, with an unpredictable expression on his face.

"Let me tell you! I started playing golf when I was four years old. As of this year, I am 25 years old and have been playing golf for 21 years!"

"In the past 21 years, I have worked hard to play every day and hone my skills. Maybe I am not as talented as those geniuses, but I also have my own weapons!"

"I! Zhou Yi! I am a genius who works hard!"

Xiang Yang frowned slightly, feeling a little baffled as he looked at Zhou Yi who was giving an impassioned speech.

[Is it because I haven’t fully mastered the language of growing flowers?Why can't I understand what this guy said...? 】

Seeing Zhou Yi take a breath, as if he was about to write another short composition, Xiang Yang no longer waited, put the ball with his right hand and immediately started the offensive.

A few crotch dribbles adjusted the rhythm, and Xiang Yang changed hands to Li Mara to open the gap with Zhou Yi. He raised his eyes and looked around, looking for opportunities to pass and assist. Leaping out from the left rear.

"You bastard, do you know that attacking when someone is only half-sentence is called a sneak attack?"

It's Zhou Yi!
He reacted immediately after half a body was passed by Xiang Yang, and with his excellent lateral speed, he quickly caught up with Xiang Yang!
Feeling Zhou Yi's defensive position on the side, Xiang Yang's expression remained unchanged, and he pulled back with his crotch, once again having space to attack.

However, this time, Zhou Yi still kept up!
"Do you think this kind of simple-paced offense can be effective on me? I can see through players like you at a glance!"

Zhou Yi's confident tone sounded in Xiang Yang's ears again, but this time Xiang Yang was really shocked.In his expectation, Zhou Yi should have been knocked away.

This is not over yet!While following Xiang Yang, Zhou Yi did not sit back and wait for death, but took the initiative to reach out his right hand and grab the basketball in Xiang Yang's hand.

I have to say that this player with a somewhat arrogant personality really has something in him.

At least his steal successfully triggered Xiang Yang's danger warning!
Talent: Danger warning has been activated.

Feeling the hairs on his forearms stand up slightly, Xiang Yang calmly turned around to protect the ball and avoid the steal, his eyes filled with approval.

At the same time, he responded to Zhou Yi for the first time.

"The timing of the steal was good."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhou Yi had time to react, Xiang Yang squatted slightly and exerted force backwards.

For a moment, Zhou Yi felt as if he had been hit head-on by a train.

Uncontrollably falling backwards, Zhou Yi completely lost his center of gravity, subconsciously waving his hands in the air, but it was all in vain.

Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, Zhou Yi sat on the floor with a dull expression, watching helplessly as Xiang Yang slowly adjusted his shooting posture, faced the empty defense, shot with his elbow, and then hit the net hollowly.

"Good shot, Xiangyang!"

"It's really yours! I just fought Brother Zhou to the ground!"

Xiang Yang's teammates were the first to react and stepped forward to high-five Xiang Yang to congratulate him. However, the latter's attention at this time was on Zhou Yi.

Xiang Yang's expression remained normal, and he slowly walked up to Zhou Yi. Looking at the expression on his face that seemed to have not yet calmed down, he extended his right hand to him.

"Good defense, your steals are very threatening."

Xiang Yang's words were concise and to the point, and his expression was very sincere.

But to Zhou Yi's ears, his words were just like ridicule.

"...This is just a mistake, just wait! Let's see if I don't cut you off until you doubt your life!"

Zhou Yi's face turned red, but he still held Xiang Yang's outstretched hand and used his strength to get up.

Realizing that Zhou Yi seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, Xiang Yang pondered for two seconds and explained: "I am really praising you. Although your confrontation is as weak as paper, you followed up twice and made the final steal. They’re all pretty good!”

"Keep up the good work!"

After saying that, Xiang Yang patted Zhou Yi's shoulder and made an encouraging gesture, and then regardless of the latter's face getting darker and darker, Xiang Yang put his hands on his head and walked back to his own half slowly.

"Pfft!"

Li Wenyu, who had been secretly following the two of them, laughed outright when he saw this scene.He looked at Zhou Yi, who was standing there blankly with an angry look on his face, and then at Xiang Yang, who was moving leisurely as if nothing had happened, with a look of gloating on his face.

[You kid always likes to bully newcomers, now it’s okay... just feel the pain I felt yesterday! 】

Li Wenyu whistled a few times, received the serve without hesitation, and immediately passed it to Zhou Yi's hands, and then folded his hands on his chest, hanging high as if it had nothing to do with him, and stood on the flank to watch the battle.

If it were normal, Zhou Yi, who was very familiar with his captain, would definitely be able to tell something was wrong!But now, he had just been humiliated by Xiang Yang, and in his eagerness to regain his position, he naturally couldn't discover so many details.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, and that was to teach this boy a lesson for taking advantage of him and not knowing how high the sky was!
Things like trash talking have always been Zhou Yi's specialty!How could he accept that he was knocked to the ground by a newcomer and had his face sprayed with trash?I can't stand it at all!
But this time, Zhou Yi really misunderstood.

You know, with Xiang Yang's solid basic skills, not everyone can trigger his "danger warning".

Xiangyang's passive talent will only be triggered when he is truly threatened by being cut off!

Looking at the many talented players among Neon's peers, including the pervert Akashi, the number of people who have successfully triggered Xiang Yang's move can be counted on one hand.

So from Xiangyang's point of view, Zhou Yi is already worthy of his praise for being able to achieve this step, but unfortunately the latter doesn't feel that he is being praised at all!
"Pass me the ball!"

Zhou Yi took the initiative to find Xiangyang this time, and while the anger on his face was still lingering, he didn't forget to ask his teammates for the ball, and then made a decisive movement of pulling away.

He wants to go back alone!

And the teammates were also very face-saving, and they opened up space one after another, giving him a chance to find his way back.

Xiang Yang looked around and after confirming that the players of the national team really opened up space, he gave his teammates a reassuring look, and then turned his attention to Zhou Yi.

The two of them stood at the top of the arc facing each other, but one of them had an angry face, while the other had a calm face.

Soon, Zhou Yi moved, pushing the ball with his hand, changing direction, and then breaking through with his hips. This misleading rhythm of left and right is Zhou Yi's best offensive method!

Xiang Yang, on the other hand, seemed to have been fooled by this move. He turned around and was unable to retreat in time, and was passed half way by Zhou Yi.

Looking at the broad field of vision in front of him, Zhou Yi's face was filled with joy. However, just when he thought he had passed Xiang Yang and could break through the basket unscrupulously, he felt that the hand dribbling the ball suddenly loosened. He looked down and saw that the basketball was somewhere. Time has left his control.

"start running!!"

Suddenly there was a roar from behind, and Zhou Yi suddenly looked back, only to see that Xiang Yang had completed the steal at some point, and immediately organized his teammates to start a fast break.

In the national youth team, Xiao Wang and Xiao Lin, who are top speed, reacted very quickly. As soon as they saw Xiang Yang making a fast break gesture, they rushed towards the opposite half.

Because Zhou Yi had previously signaled his teammates to pull away, everyone in the national team was spread out. Faced with this sudden defensive counterattack, they could only symbolically return to the defense and force it. In the end, they could only watch helplessly. Xiang Yang passed the ball and assisted Xiao Wang to complete the score.

"nice shot!"

Coach Sun, who had been watching the game for a long time, couldn't help but let out a low drink. He looked at Xiang Yang, who was congratulating his teammates with high-fives on the court, with a look of amazement in his eyes.

If Xiang Yang successfully defeated Zhou Yi in singles in the last round, it only proved his one-on-one ability. Even if the space is relatively small in the entire game, it can still be effective.

So in this round, facing Zhou Yi's attack, Xiangyang completed the steal and immediately pushed forward to counterattack and organize his teammates. This just shows that Xiangyang understands the responsibility of his point guard very well.

"In the counterattack just now, he could have played alone, but he chose to pass the ball to Xiao Wang, who was in a better position. This player... tsk!"

Coach Sun shook his head, then picked up the pen in his hand and ticked Xiang Yang's name. In just two rounds, he saw in Xiang Yang all the qualities that a point guard should have.

Top-notch one-on-one and one-on-one defense capabilities, excellent court vision and desire to share the ball.

Today, Xiang Yang is fully capable of serving as the starting point guard for the Huazhonghuajia national team. He is still worthy of being entrusted with the ball as the cornerstone of the team!

Hai Lao couldn't laugh or cry as he watched Coach Sun tick Xiang Yang's name without saying a word. He quickly patted his shoulder and reminded: "Don't just look at Xiang Yang. Isn't it a sure thing that this kid will advance? Pay more attention. Can you put your efforts on others?"

As he said this, Hai Lao nuzzled at Xiao Gao and others on the court, signaling Coach Sun to pay more attention to their performance.

"Yes master, I will."

Coach Sun nodded obediently, but while he agreed, his eyes were still on Xiang Yang, as if he had been distracted by the latter.

Ebi:…

For this disciple who was exactly the same as when he was young, Elder Hai certainly knew what Coach Sun was thinking.

Even if Mr. Hai, as his master, is very optimistic about a player, if that player cannot let Coach Sun see the value of him with his own eyes, then even if Mr. Hai doesn't want to show his face, he will plead for them with words, Coach Sun Still won't let go.

[You guys have to work harder... don't pass all the balls to Xiangyang, and play more yourself! 】

Hai Lao's face remained calm, but he felt anxious in his heart.

With Xiangyang's eye-catching attack and defense at the beginning, the overall game rhythm of the National Youth Team also changed accordingly.

Basketball is like this. Every basketball player or fan has more or less a strong mentality in his heart. When a certain player in the teammate plays well or feels good, then slowly, the other players in the team , a dependence mentality will arise subconsciously.

Naturally, the player who performed well will get more ball possessions in his hands, then his performance will get better and better, while other players will sacrifice their own shot opportunities, resulting in mediocre performance .

It was another offensive round for the National Youth Team. After a simple pass, the basketball returned to Xiang Yang's hands as expected.

Facing the persistent Zhou Yi, Xiang Yang simply played a pick-and-roll tactic, and then assisted his teammates to score again.

At this time, the first half has come to an end, and the two sides are closely chasing the score. 44:46, the National Youth Team maintains a weak lead with a two-point advantage.

Xiangyang's personal data is very outstanding.

22 points, 8 assists and 6 steals. Excluding the two rebounds he picked up in the backcourt, Xiang Yang not only scored almost half of the team’s points in less than half of the first half, but his assists and steals were converted into points. The efficiency is also terrifying!
Of course, normally speaking, Xiang Yang can't actually get that many steals. After all, although his single defense ability is abnormal and some fouls are committed, as long as the opponent stabilizes the situation and specifically avoids his point to attack, then his steals will be No matter how high the success rate is, there is still little room for improvement.

It's just that... the player Zhou Yi perfectly played the role of a tool man for Xiang Yang in this training match.

After contributing 2 points, 1 assist and 1 steal to Xiang Yang in the beginning, Zhou Yi did not lose heart, but became more courageous as he fought!
Facing Xiang Yang, Zhou Yi frequently signaled his teammates to start the singles, which successfully added a lot to Xiang Yang's steal data. Of the 6 steals, five of them were obtained from him!

The whistle sounded at the end of the first half, and the score was finally fixed at 48:47, with the National Youth Team leading by one point.

Hai Lao looked at Xiang Yang's scary data on the data board, then looked at the data of several of his most popular students, and finally fell into deep thought...

"No! I want to talk to him!"

(It’s two-in-one. I originally wanted to publish it separately, but it’s so out of context and so inappropriate... I’ll put it together.)
