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

Chapter 222 Rookie Wall

"Wang Dalong, come on for the second half and replace Zhou Yi."

……

"Hey, coach, me?"

Xiao Wang pointed at himself, with an incredible expression on his face.

As a new player who has just joined the national team, Xiao Wang knows that he does not have the strength of Xiang Yang. He has already prepared to settle down for a year and start playing again the next year.

Moreover, Zhou Yi's performance in the first half was not bad. Even though he was bullied by Bowen on the defensive end, he still made many opportunities on the offensive end.

Because of this, Sun Jiao suddenly asked Xiao Wang to replace Zhou Yi, which made him feel panicky.

Xiang Yang on the side heard Coach Sun's arrangement and touched his chin thoughtfully.

Xiang Yang had seen Xiao Wang's defensive ability when he was in the National Youth Team. As long as a player like him exercises a little bit, his future achievements will not be much lower.

At this time, Zhou Yi also patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on as the coach asks you to do. Do you still want to resist the coach's arrangement?"

"Besides, this is a training match. Of course, we should give everyone a chance to practice, don't you think?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhou Yi in surprise. Even Xiang Yang looked at him with admiration. No matter when, generous speeches can always win the favor of others.

[In this case, you shouldn’t mind if Xiao Wang performs better than you, right? 】

Xiang Yang clicked on the system panel calmly, and the shared version of the "zone" mode in the talent column was flickering slightly at the moment.

As for the person to share, Xiang Yang already has a candidate in mind.

Compared with Xibo's inside strength, the difference in Huahuajia's inside strength is not only at the technical level. The gap in physical talent is very fatal for inside fighting.

As for the men's basketball captain Li Wenyu, although he has outstanding physical fitness and scored many sports battles in the first half, his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, his offensive methods are too simple.

What's more, Xiang Yang has the most say in the offensive end of the current Huazhong Men's Basketball Team. On this basis, sharing the "zone" mode with Li Wenyu is somewhat superfluous.

Therefore, the most suitable candidate is undoubtedly Xiao Wang.

At this moment, Zhou Yi still hadn't understood the seriousness of the problem. He looked at the backs of his teammates entering the field one after another with his thighs crossed, without any sign of nervousness on his face.

If someone were to tell him now: Xiao Wang's performance will be very good later, and he can even threaten his starting shooting guard position.

Then Zhou Yi would definitely raise his middle finger at that person, shouting "Impossible!"Then tell the story of him starting to practice ball at the age of five.

Are you kidding me, what level is the Eagle Nation national team? As Zhou Yi played against it in person in the first half, it can be said that he has sufficient knowledge.

Whether it's their exquisite teamwork or their top-notch individual abilities, Zhou Yi doesn't believe that Xiao Wang, who has almost zero competition experience, can withstand their pressure.

As he expected, in the first few offensive and defensive rounds of the second half, Xiao Wang not only frequently missed people and lost position, but was also hit by the opposite Bowen twice in a row.

Only 3 minutes into the second half, the point difference between the two teams had already reached 12 points.

Xiang Yang frowned and looked at the scoreboard. Just when the two sides entered the arena, he had already opened the shared "zone" for Xiao Wang, but his performance was very poor.

Not only did he fail to perform decently on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, Xiao Wang also failed to provide strong help to Xiang Yang due to his lack of skill.

Just looking at these few rounds, Xiao Wang's performance seems to be worse than Zhou Yi's.

Off the court, Sun Jiao looked at the growing difference on the scoreboard and became a little uneasy.

Even though he focused on training, he didn't want to lose the game so easily.

"Zhou Yi."

"To!"

Sun Jiao looked at Xiao Wang, who was running around like a sleepwalker, and said in a deep voice, "Get ready to warm up."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yi's spirit was shaken, and he immediately started stretching on the bench, but he said proudly in his heart: It's exactly what I expected!In this way, not only did I show my magnanimous character, but I also had more rest time than other players. Hum, let me lead you in the second half!

While Zhou Yi was stretching, Xiang Yang, who organized the team's offense, successfully found an open opportunity. Xiao Wang also trotted into position and received Xiang Yang's pass.

However, it may be that many mistakes made Xiao Wang's mentality a little unstable, or it may be that newcomers who are just starting out will inevitably experience the "rookie wall".

Facing this huge gap, Xiao Wang actually shot a three-pointer in full view of everyone!

The whole place was in an uproar, and there was a chorus of wailing in the audience. It was obvious that Xiao Wang's "three no-touches" had aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.

As the person involved, Xiao Wang did not expect that he would make such a mistake. At this time, he lowered his head with a look of shame and felt a burning pain on his face.

[Please...someone come...replace me...]

Xiao Wang lowered his head and jogged back to his own half. He didn't even dare to look at his teammates for fear of being scolded on the spot.

"Wang Dalong."

A sudden shout made Xiao Wang tremble all over. He immediately stopped and turned around to look, only to see Xiang Yang walking in front of him expressionlessly, his lips moving slightly as if he wanted to say something.

On the other side of the court, Nash also noticed this change. He turned his head and watched Xiang Yang's next move.

Bowen walked up to him and said with a smile on his face: "That defensive geek, I'm probably going to give him a scolding. He didn't seem to be awake on the court. He just shot a ball without touching it, haha. Haha, it’s really hilarious.”

Nash didn't reply, just looked at Xiang Yang quietly.

Xiao Wang was the first to speak and said shamefully: "I'm sorry...I don't know why..."

"Why are you apologizing?"

Before Xiao Wang could finish speaking, Xiang Yang interrupted him with a wave of his hand. He put his arms around Xiao Wang's shoulders, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Listen, kid, no matter what kind of performance you perform on the court, No one in this team will blame you. Everyone, including me and Coach Sun, will only ask you to train hard after the game and will never scold you on the court."

Xiao Wang listened with a blank expression, and for a moment he forgot what he had just said.

Xiang Yang didn't waste time, and he was not in a timeout now. He needed to complete this training before the Eagle Country team served.

"As a newcomer, you have the right to make mistakes. What you have to do is not to feel sorry for yourself or even avoid the court, but to use your best strength after adapting to the rhythm! Win for the team."

Xiao Wang looked at Xiang Yang with his mouth slightly open. He wanted to ask: Aren't you a newcomer too?Why don't I see you making mistakes?

Fortunately, Xiao Wang has good eyesight and knows exactly what to say at this time.

"What should I do Xiangyang, teach me."

beep—

Talent: Chicken Soup for the Soul has been activated.

The judgment is completed and the activation is successful.

Listening to the mechanical sound in his mind, Xiang Yang grinned. He looked at the serious expression on Xiao Wang's face, patted his head and said, "The bearded man who is opposite you has really good dribbling skills. Yes, but believe me, there are flaws in his actions!"

Xiang Yang pointed at Bowen in the Eagle Country half and said with an inscrutable expression.

Xiao Wang quickly asked: "What's the flaw?"

Xiang Yang pondered for two seconds and explained: "I can't explain to you exactly what the flaw is. Do you remember that I intercepted him directly in the beginning?"

"Anyway, believe me, it's true!"

Xiao Wang nodded as if he understood, and muttered: "I believe you... there are flaws in his actions..."

"I understand, thank you Xiangyang."

Xiao Wang said solemnly. He turned to look at Bowen. The previous timidity and avoidance in his eyes had disappeared.

Xiang Yang nodded in satisfaction and returned to his defensive position.

Eagle Nation's offensive possessions
Nash repeated his old trick. After dribbling the ball, he once again ran to the bottom corner alone. Limited by his offensive threat, as the top single defense player in the Huahua team, Xiangyang had no choice but to follow him to the bottom corner.

Nash put his hands on his knees and joked towards Xiangyang: "Is this really good? If you don't help your teammates, the suspense of this game will be gone if the score difference widens."

Xiang Yang didn't answer, his eyes were looking at the top of the arc.

Right there, Bowen once again signaled his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to single out Xiao Wang.

Seeing that Xiang Yang ignored him, Nash persisted and said: "Hey, hey, hey, aren't you already desperate? At this time, you are standing in the corner with me in a daze. I have teammates, what do you have? Four idiots?" "

Xiang Yang still didn't make a sound, looking calmly at the two people who were facing off one on one at the top of the arc.

Bowen still used his signature alternating hip dribbling. While moving his steps slightly to make his movements more confusing, he taunted Xiao Wang: "With a cash machine like you, can my teammates trust you to guard me alone?"

"To put it bluntly, if I were you, I would have taken the initiative to ask the coach to take a break. Staying on the court would also have side effects, and I would be complained by my teammates. Why bother?"

As Bowen said this, he was looking for holes in Xiao Wang's defense. He suddenly accelerated and hit Xiao Wang's front foot.

"I'm sorry, I won this ball again!"

Looking at the empty penalty area in front of him, Bowen showed a mocking smile. With just one smooth breakthrough, he left Xiao Wang behind again.

However, just as he was jumping on one foot to put the ball into the basket, a figure suddenly jumped up from behind him.

Alarm bells rang in Bowen's heart. His sixth sense, developed over many years of basketball career, told him that this ball would be blocked!

At the critical moment, Bowen, who was in the air, quickly changed his moves. While curling up, he changed hands and threw, changing the position of the layup to another direction.

"Ha... ha, now, you should take me..."

Bowen turned around with a thankful look on his face, and was about to make a few taunts when he saw behind him, Xiao Wang's eyes fixed on the basketball, as if he had already expected that he would change hands for a layup.

The next second, there was a loud hitting sound!The basketball flew out of the court as if it had been hit hard.

At this moment, the arena was quiet.
