Chapter 364: The First Quarter Ends

"Strong shot! Liu Haoming was completely unguarded. He made a mid-range shot, but unfortunately he didn't score!" The two commentators also cried regretfully. .

"The ball was obviously passed to Chen Nuo to the left, but it suddenly flew to the right. Did Xiao Yao flick the ball in the opposite direction with his fingers behind his back?" Yu Junzhe didn't launch a fast break immediately after grabbing the rebound , The two commentators also discussed Xiao Yao's pass. Although the blue team missed the goal, Xiao Yao's weird pass is worth talking about.

"No," Zhou Qun smiled and shook his head and said, "In Xiao Yao's situation just now, his right hand has been thrown to the left, and he has not wrapped the basketball. It is impossible to push the basketball back with his fingers. The basketball hit in the air. When it came to Xiao Yao’s left arm, it was bounced back. But whether it was an accidental bump or Xiao Yao did it on purpose, I can’t judge now, let’s see if there is a slow motion playback later.”

Liu Haoming bowed his head angrily and slapped such a good open opportunity for not making the shot, and made an apologetic gesture to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao didn't care too much, and shook his head with a smile, indicating that it was okay, and ran back to the backcourt with him to defend.

Now the red team's frontcourt is two-on-two, with Bielsa defending Evans and Zhang Yi defending Jiang Qiao, it is very difficult for the opponent's frontcourt teammates to receive the kind of ultra-long-distance long pass that crosses the entire field. , so Yu Junzhe didn't make a long pass to launch a fast break, but dribbled the ball to advance normally.

For the next ball, after Yu Junzhe broke through, he distributed the basketball to Jiang Qiao in the bottom corner. Jiang Qiao immediately transferred the ball to Evans who was at a 45-degree angle. Evans took the ball and dribbled one step. Shaking away Zhang Yi who was rushing forward, before Xiao Yao who was defending came up, he pulled up a jumper, made a mid-range shot, and scored two more points.

Offensive and defensive conversion. Xiao Yao, who dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, did not raise his hand to ask his teammates to move according to the tactics, but very routinely passed the basketball to Chen Nuo who mentioned the line to support him, and took a step to bypass his own defense Jiang Qiao, rush to the basket.

Pushing back against Xu Yue who was defending him, Chen Nuo threw the basketball again and passed it to Xiao Yao, who had already sped up and cut to the basket. From the front, this goal is basically a replica of the blue team's first goal, except that Xiao Yao was replaced by Chen Nuo on the line, and Guo Qi was replaced by Xiao Yao after the pass. It's just that before Chen Nuo passed the ball, he didn't make a fake move to pass the ball in the opposite direction.

The blue team has already played this tactic once, and it is impossible for the red team not to be careful. Seeing Xiao Yao catch the ball, Xu Yue immediately gave up on Chen Nuo and rushed towards Xiao Yao from the side, Evans also quickly came to defend from the other side, and Zhuo Zhiyuan came from the bottom line to defend Chen Nuo who was vacated. promise.

The red team's assisting defense and supplementary defense this time was much faster than at the beginning of the game. As soon as Xiao Yao entered the three-second zone, he immediately fell into a double-team. But Xiao Yao still started and jumped up, as if he was going to force a layup under the defense of the two.

Xiao Yao is not Guo Qi after all,

Although Evans returned to the defense and blocked Xiao Yao's layup line, he just raised his hands and did not take off to defend. At the same time, Evans watched Zhang Yi, on his side, move from beyond the three-point line to the basket out of the corner of his eye. When Xiao Yao made a layup, he was facing Zhang Yi's side, and he might give the ball halfway through the layup at any time. By this time, everyone had seen Xiao Yao's passing ability, and Evans did not dare to take it lightly.

Sure enough, Xiao Yao, who held the basketball in front of his chest with both hands, did not make a move in the air. Instead, he stretched out both arms to his left, as if he wanted to pass the ball to his left front and ran to the left basket. Zhang Yi under. When Evans saw it, he quickly turned to the right and faced Zhang Yi under the basket.

However, Xiao Yao's outstretched hands did not push the basketball out. Instead, he bent his left arm and passed the basketball from the back of his head to his right with his left hand.

On the right side of the basket, Liu Haoming has also run near the bottom corner of the three-second zone, just in time to catch Xiao Yao's pass. This time, Liu Haoming, whose shooting point was closer to the basket, didn't waste another chance, and made the shot steadily, scoring two points.

The game has been played so far, and the players have inevitably experienced some physical decline and inattention. After Liu Haoming scored the ball, the players of the blue team did not retreat too quickly, so Yu Junzhe launched a fast break immediately after receiving the ball even though it was the opponent's baseline serve.

Yu Junzhe dribbled the ball and rushed forward quickly, and the players of the blue team immediately retreated quickly. They came back, but they didn't have time to take a defensive position. Yu Junzhe directly drove the ball into the basket and met Bielsa's defense, and immediately passed the ball to the direction of Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had already stood outside the three-point line and was unguarded. Illidan

Faced with such a rare open opportunity, Zhuo Zhiyuan made the action of catching the ball early, and was ready to shoot a three-pointer directly after catching the ball. But before the basketball flew into his hands, a hand stretched out from the diagonal and patted the basketball. Because Yu Junzhe passed the ball very fast, this hand failed to intercept the basketball, but hit the basketball outside the sideline.

Although the ball still belonged to the red team, this was not a successful steal, but it won the team the opportunity to rearrange the defense, which is definitely a successful defense. And it was Xiao Yao who made this successful defense.

It turned out that Xiao Yao expected that Yu Junzhe was unlikely to force Bielsa under the basket, and Yu Junzhe guarded against his pass after he started. When he saw him pass the basketball to Zhuo Zhiyuan, he immediately intercepted it in the middle. It's a pity that the position where he was defending Jiang Qiao was far away from Zhuo Zhiyuan. Even if Yu Junzhe started the basketball immediately, he couldn't intercept the basketball, but could only hit the ball.

At this time, the first quarter was almost halfway through, and taking advantage of this dead ball, the game entered an official timeout.

Official pauses are generally reserved for advertising. But after the official suspension this time, the advertisement was not broadcast on the TV immediately, but like the big screen at the scene, the slow motion replay of Xiao Yao's fast break ball was played.

From the slow motion, it can be clearly seen that Xiao Yao's left arm has an obvious swinging movement from left to right, which means that Xiao Yao deliberately knocked the basketball to Liu Haoming on the right. Seeing such a creative passing action, the audience burst into cheers.

"Hey, this ball really hit the ball with the elbow of his left arm on purpose!" Zhou Qun exclaimed watching the slow-motion replay, "This pass really has an idea, young people are creative, dare to think and do it!"

"Xiao Yao is creative, right?" He Jian also laughed. "In the first half of the competition, Xiao Yao was the one who stood out the most. The advertising time was taken up by Xiao Yao's slow-motion playback."

"But he's so popular that people have nothing to say." Zhou Qun laughed. "Now the score is 11 to 7, and the blue team leads by four points. Evans of the red team has the highest score on the field now." , scored five points, and the blue team had the highest score from Bielsa, that is, a three-pointer and scored three points. But Xiao Yao scored five assists by himself, all of which were the same as Evans' score. Moreover, these five assists were given to different teammates, not even a single one was repeated. Currently, only two of the red team scored, but five of the blue team scored. At least for the blue team, teammates like Xiao Yao There’s definitely nothing wrong with the way you show off.”

"How do you have such a brain, boy, can you think of this kind of passing action?" The benches on both sides were also looking at the big screen hanging above the court at the moment, Liu Haoming rubbed Xiao Yao's hair affectionately, and then He said regretfully, "It's a pity I didn't make that ball, otherwise it must have been the most exciting match tonight."

"It's okay," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "Even if you didn't make the shot, wouldn't the big screen play back my pass? I still got the limelight that I should have. It's just that you didn't make the shot. It was cut off, if you feel sorry, feel sorry for yourself."

"Hey, you kid!" Liu Haoming smiled and pointed at Xiao Yao.

"Five assists!" On the other side, Guo Qi pretended to be dissatisfied and said to Xiao Yao, "Are you trying to steal my point guard position?"

"I said that I play outside, you have to suggest to Director Wei that I play inside." Xiao Yao also deliberately smiled, "Why don't you play it while you are not there, I have to be fixed inside ?”

"If I knew you had this kind of passing ability, how could I spend my time practicing that secret weapon with you?" Guo Qi smiled wryly and shook her head.

"Do you still have a secret weapon? What is it?" Chen Nuo who was sitting on the other side of Guo Qi also came over and asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Guo Qi smiled mysteriously, "We can't reveal it in advance now."

"Cut~" Chen Nuo gave Guo Qi a blank look, stretched out his head and said to Xiao Yao through Guo Qi, "Xiao Yao, you already have a lot of assists, but you haven't scored a single point yet, would you like me to help you for a while?" Create a few opportunities for you? Tell me your secret weapon secretly!"

"No need," Guo Qi interjected with a smile, "Don't look at him passing the ball all the time, and his scoring ability is not bad. When he switches to scoring mode and tries his best to grab points, he can definitely scare you." Early His Highness An

Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, but did not speak. Judging from this attitude, it is obvious that it will not be revealed.

"Okay, then I'll wait to see how you score!" Chen Nuo said angrily on purpose.

It is a pity that Chen Nuo's wish cannot be realized for the time being. After the timeout ended, the two teams made another substitution.

Xiao Yao, Zhang Yi, and Bielsa of the blue team were replaced by Guo Qi and two other players who hadn't played before, Lu Cheng and Zhang Chao. The red team replaced Evans, Yu Junzhe and Jiang Qiao, leaving Zhuo Zhiyuan and Xu Yue who was replaced later on the field.

In the next period of time, the shooting percentages of the players of the two teams declined to varying degrees, and the excitement of the game also declined to a certain extent compared with the first half. But because the score was behind, the players of the red team obviously played more proactive and stronger. Therefore, although the excitement of the competition has dropped a bit, the intensity has increased to a certain extent.

On the offensive end, because of Yu Junzhe's end, Zhuo Zhiyuan became the main offensive point of the red team and gained more possession of the ball. Several decisive pull-up jumpers from mid-range and long-range positions showed his super offense. In addition, he also made a few strong breakthroughs inside, facing Guo Qi's forced layup. Although only one goal was scored in the three shots against Guo Qi, this courage also won applause from the audience and fans screamed again and again.

On the defensive end, Zhuo Zhiyuan's performance is also very eye-catching. He presented the second and third blocks of the game, one of which was to block Miao Cheng's mid-range shot, and the other was to catch up from behind and slap Lu Cheng's fast break layup. flew. It also caused exclamations and screams from the scene.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, the red team, aiming to chase points, replaced Evans, and the blue team also replaced Bielsa accordingly.

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Evans, who was behind by the team, played more seriously than Bielsa. Specifically, he took more shots than Bielsa and took a further lead in personal scoring. Bielsa.

Throughout the second half of the first quarter, Xiao Yao sat on the bench and was never replaced by head coach Wei Zhiping. Especially in the timeout with two minutes left in the first quarter, Wei Zhiping replaced Chen Nuo and Liu Haoming, replaced Bielsa, but did not replace Xiao Yao who was off at the same time as Bielsa, but replaced Miao When it was done, there was a burst of boos from the audience.

Facing the booing, the camera at the scene keenly captured Wei Zhiping leaning his head with a wry smile and talking to Xiao Yao who was sitting on the bench, seemingly complaining that Xiao Yao caused him to be booed by the audience.

In this regard, the two commentators also made fun of it.

"We heard a burst of booing at the scene. It should be that the audience expressed dissatisfaction with Director Wei for not replacing Xiao Yao." He Jian said with a smile, "I didn't expect Director Wei to be booed by the audience one day. Whether he is a player or a coach, he probably has no experience."

"Actually, I can also understand the audience friends at the scene. I think many audiences in front of the TV should be the same." Zhou Qun also said with a smile, "Xiao Yao is famous and plays well. If I were an audience, I would I also hope to see Xiao Yao play more."

"But we also have to believe that Director Wei must have his reasons for making such an arrangement." He Jian helped Wei Zhiping speak, "Although Xiao Yao and Bielsa ended together and rested for the same length of time, at least from the first quarter In terms of the performance in the first half, Xiao Yao played point guard for a long time, and also dribbled the ball for fast breaks. His physical energy consumption must be much higher than that of Bielsa who was playing close-up. It is also a reasonable arrangement to rest for a while and ensure sufficient physical fitness for the next game."

Of course, this is for the audience to hear. What He Jian really thought was that this was an exhibition match, and it wouldn't be interesting if the point difference was widened early and the game lost suspense. Although Xiao Yao played a lot of tricks and looked very casual, it can be seen from his serious command of his teammates to move positions that he is actually very serious about playing. The reason why Wei Zhiping didn't let Xiao Yao go up was to give the red team a chance to chase points.

The match between the two teams at the end of the first quarter seemed to confirm He Jian's guess. The red team chased the score to 16 to 17 and ended the first quarter with a slight disadvantage of only one point behind the blue team.
