Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 240 Playing with your brain

The backbone is stable, and the others can at least grit their teeth, even if they don't explode.

"I've said it before. First, don't overestimate your opponent. Second, believe in your own ability to think. I say the same thing to myself." Li Yan put away the towel. The second half of the strong match between Class 9 and Class 7 next door had already begun. Someone made a three-pointer, which caused cheers from the audience.

Class 33 is currently leading with 22 to . This score difference means there is basically no chance of winning in a competition between junior high schools of similar level. Class has one foot into the finals. Whether they can meet at the top of the Forbidden City depends on the performance of Class .

"Come on, Li Yan!" Su Ya shouted, earning a helpless look from Li Yan, so she immediately changed direction, "Come on, Class Zero!"

"Ayan, what do you mean?" Li Ruofei asked.

"They only have three routines for transmission, which are obviously practiced. I don't think they will be able to adapt after cutting off these three routines."

"How to cut it?"

"Lin Heng, lock down their No. 3. He has two routes. In the end, he basically goes to a 45-degree position to shoot a mid-range or long-range shot." Li Yan didn't have a tactical board in his hand, so he could only draw on the table. "Xiaosheng, you don't have to move. Just stand under the basket and don't help defend. When you see anyone coming to the basket, whether he has the ball or not, open your hands to block him."

The captain of Class 10 was cheering and encouraging the team. The referee, a senior from the school team, also blew the whistle, preparing to start the second half.

"Everyone else hold your positions, Ruofei," Li Yan patted Li Ruofei on the back and lowered his voice, "No matter who I defend, they will take me to the corner and directly exchange the ball. Next, you try to stand on my side. I will try to disrupt their conduction. I believe in your ability to read the game, the timing of pressure, counterattack, and switching defense. It depends on our tacit understanding."

"No problem." Li Ruofei was very excited.

"What about me?" Zhu Qinglun wondered.

"Land normally. I will let you adjust your position according to the actual situation. Even if it is air defense, you have to stand firm, Qinglun."

"Roger that!"

After this arrangement, although everyone except Li Ruofei was a little confused, their confidence was restored.

Class 3 served the ball. Li Yan quickly observed the ball handler No. 6 and the players from Class 12 and quickly made arrangements. "Lin Heng, follow. Qing Lun goes to the right corner and stays in position. Next, give the ball to No. . Center No. will do a pick-and-roll."

No one could understand it at once, and the tactics didn't seem to be any serious tactics. Everyone could only follow Li Yan's command.

Sure enough, No. 3 passed the ball to No. 6 and made a circle to the left corner.

Then No. 12 moved forward, but Bai Xiaosheng was unmoved. Li Ruofei, who was guarding No. 6, had anticipated this and easily bypassed the pick-and-roll, giving No. 6 no chance.

At this time, No. 6, who was like a loach, was using the cover of his teammates to bypass the baseline and turn to the right bottom corner in the direction of No. 's breakthrough.

Lin Heng ignored the others and just squeezed his way through.

Having lost the chance to break through, No. 6 decisively passed the ball to the right corner. Logically, No. 3 should have received the ball at this time, and then directly played a pick-and-roll with No. 12. Whenever Bai Xiaosheng moved up, No. 6 would have a chance to cut in. If Li Yan came to make up for the defense at this time, No. 6 would pass the ball back to the captain who was smoking in the corner.

If Bai Xiaosheng doesn't move up, No. 3 will have a chance to attack. If the chance is not good enough, No. 6 will come out and try again in another direction.

The tactics were not complicated at all, but due to the gap in tactical qualities, Class Zero's defense was broken down time and time again. If one wave didn't work, they would try another one. There were always good opportunities for close-range shots or even under the basket.

But after No. 3 made a circle, he found Zhu Qinglun standing in the bottom corner waiting for him. Just as he took the ball from No. , Lin Heng on the other side also caught up with him and he was suddenly double-teamed.

How do you invite someone into a trap?
How to pass the ball after being double-teamed is a difficult problem.

The nearest No. 6 was held tightly by Li Ruofei who suddenly increased his intensity. The captain at the far end and the open No. 1 were watched by Li Yan. He didn't dare to pass the ball. His only choice was to throw a high ball to the center at the free throw line.

The ball floated out, and Li Yan started like lightning, shouting "Ruofei!"

Li Ruofei understood what he meant and left No. 6 behind to press towards the position of center No. 12. The center decisively passed the ball back to No. 6, but it was intercepted by Li Yan who suddenly appeared.

Ding!
[Basketball +1, Level 51 skill, total ]

Wow, it’s exceeded 50 percent?

The players of Class 10 were unable to react in time after this interruption. Even the captain of Class 10 gave up after only two steps and watched Li Yan make a smooth dunk.

Listen to the wow sound.

Sure enough, flexibility is non-existent.

Class 3 did not have any strong points, and they did not dare to attack easily in the position where Li Yan was guarding. So even if Zhu Qinglun left one person open, even if Lin Heng kept running close to No. , even if Li Ruofei bypassed the pick-and-roll, they still mechanically executed the tactics.

This resulted in No. 3 running into a double-team, creating a situation where he could only pass to XX.

This was done while Bai Xiaosheng was standing firmly at the bottom of the basket. The passing route had already been set by the opponent, so it was highly likely that the ball would be intercepted.

"Luck?" The captain of Class Ten pondered. He didn't have the confidence to let his teammates "shoot when they have an open position". Now they were the lagging side and they had to increase their success rate!
However, in the next attack, the player holding the ball from Class 10 was still forced into a desperate situation without knowing what was going on, and could only look around after stopping the ball.

This is not a basketball game, nor is it the NBA. We are not passing masters and our field of vision is so small.

Once the ball is forced to stop, the passing route is basically designated.

Li Yan would not take the risk of trying to steal every ball. As long as he could cut off the attack of Class 10, victory in the semi-finals would be a piece of cake.

The advantage of having everyone as a soldier is that there are multiple attack points when the tactics are successfully executed, and the success rate is guaranteed; the disadvantage is that there is a lack of hard-code solution when the tactics fail.

Therefore, the hit rate of those balls that Class 10 had to play one-on-one or force shots was really touching.

As for Class Zero’s attack, it’s simple: counterattack.

Since the teammates have no energy left, let the two Lis take over.

Standing at the bottom of the basket, Bai Xiaosheng, with his height, long arms and rebounding training, has indeed become a rebounding behemoth. He just throws the ball far away when he gets it. Anyway, there will always be someone named Li who will come out to grab the ball and make a layup to score.

Every time Class Ten spent a long time passing the ball and finally made a mistake or a forced shot, Class Zero would suddenly move at lightning speed. The two strong men would kick the ball with great thumping sounds, and then take big strides to make a smooth layup.

The ball went into the frame and also into the girl's heart.

This group of girls found the thrill of watching a basketball game, which is that after Class 10 finishes their attack, two handsome guys will perform a high-speed sprint and then high-five in tacit understanding.

The people standing under the basket were having a great time watching the scene. Every time they saw Li Yan sprinting for a layup, they would exclaim "Ouch" and step back a little, making it seem like Li Yan was running towards them, and then the group of people would discuss the scene with laughter.

The game on the other side ended, and Class 9 maintained its lead and won. While celebrating, everyone also paid attention to the battle situation of Class 0.

52: 37.

I lost, weren't we evenly matched at halftime?

Then Qiu Li watched Li Yan, who was playing at the end of the game, steal the ball from the crowd, pass the ball to Li Ruofei without slowing down, jump into the air to receive Li Ruofei's pass and complete an alley-oop layup.

"The pass was too low. I have no experience." Li Ruofei was annoyed.

"It's okay, let's try again later. I'm not very skilled now." Li Yan returned to defense with a smile.

They were about to call it quits, but Class 10 was still fighting hard. Some of them were so tired that they were still gasping for breath while chasing Li Yan who had already crossed half the court.

He is an opponent worthy of respect.

So we have to beat them up.

Not giving in is the greatest respect.

In fact, Class 10 just wanted to lose in a less embarrassing way. Thank you very much Li Yan for thinking highly of us.

The final score was 54:37. After Class brought the ball across half court and was told that there was only half a minute left, they just tried a three-pointer and Class didn't continue.

"This is a fateful duel," Qiu Li raised his lips, "Class Zero relies on these two people. We will lock them down at all costs."

"Hey, Brother Li, isn't that Boss Xu?"

The Class Zero competition had just ended and a group of people were still high-fiving each other when the referee stole the show.

"Captain of the school team, Xu Xin." The referee extended his hand to Li Yan.

Li Yan quickly shook his hand, "Hello, Senior Brother Xu, Li Yan."

"Do you know why I specifically applied to be your referee today?"

Li Yan didn't want to chat with the referee at this time, and he hadn't even finished high-fiving yet.

"Brother, we just finished playing ball. Let's talk later."

"You don't understand," Xu Xin laughed and pressed Li Yan's shoulder very hard. "Junior brother, I came here to observe your strength. You are indeed very strong and have great potential. I formally invite you to join the New Taipei First High School basketball team."
