Chapter 116 MVP
As mentioned before, Fuhua’s tactic is pick-and-roll.

Among the main players, he, power forward Qian Wenke, and center Sun Lifeng all have good shooting skills.

Although the running-in period is short, the tactics have already taken shape.

Unfortunately, Sun Lifeng, who was a little nervous, failed to jump over the 2.03m tall center on the opposing team.

The opponent had the ball, and amid the slightly chaotic shouts of "Come on Fuhua", everyone took their positions and started defending.

Lu Yao, who played as a shooting guard, was taken to the corner by the opponent's shooting guard.

How strong is Shanghai Normal University? To be honest, no one knows.

But it is true that they have something. Once these guys started playing, the opponents immediately felt a completely different feeling from what they experienced in training.

Quite professional.

Unfortunately, Fuhua's team was assembled too hastily. Although Wu Wen was nominally the team manager, she was also a layman. The only information she had was the opponent's performance last season, average score and other statistical data, and she knew nothing else.

The opponent got into position quickly and the first ball of the game was also a pick-and-roll, but the final pass was given to the center in the penalty area.

The center's fat body turned around and Sun Lifeng "flew".

He scored two points easily.

"mine."

Sun Lifeng raised his hand with a hint of helplessness.

The ball was passed to the main point guard Duan Qiwei.

Duan Qiwei brought the ball to the half court safely and passed it directly to Lu Yao.

Then, everyone looked at him.

Lu Yao held the ball, glanced at the defender who had no intention of coming up to press, and without even making any hand gestures, he just jumped up and shot.

When he jumped, the other party pounced on him.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"oh!!!!"

Amid the students’ cheers, the Fuhua team quickly ran back to the half court with the score at 3 to 2.

Hu Li clapped her hands and stared at her boyfriend with a smile on her face.

At this moment, in her heart, her boyfriend is Michael Jordan.

So handsome.

Xu Ruochu, who was leaning back in a chair with her legs folded, was also applauding.

Indeed, the ball was played very neatly.

The knife fell without mercy.

Just like his personality.

Thinking of this, her eyes changed slightly.

But what changes even faster is the situation on the field.

Sun Lifeng was completely unable to withstand the opponent's center, and the tactics of Normal University were also quite simple.

The strong side is given to the center, and everyone moves to the weak side.

If the center scores, just play. If the play is not going smoothly, redistribute the ball and continue playing.

Fuhua was in a bit of a dilemma, because except for Lu Yao, the others were cold.

After three rounds of offense, both Qian Wenke and small forward Zhang Bin's shots missed.

The score was 3 to 6.

Apart from anything else, the center from Normal University is quite strong.

He has a good body and good skills.

but……

Lu Yao looked at him panting, thought for a moment, walked to Duan Qiwei and said:
"Run, play fast break, and feed the ball to Brother Sun."

"You don't want to fight?"

Duan Qiwei was stunned.

Lu Yao shook his head:

"Not for now, the fat guy doesn't have enough stamina."

After the two of them whispered in the backcourt, Duan Qiwei took the ball and ran forward.

As soon as Lu Yao crossed the half court, the opponent pressed up to him in an open position, defending him closely and not giving him any chance to receive the ball.

"Brother Sun, come out."

Duan Qiwei shouted.

After Qian Wenke took a look at Lu Yao, he was pulled out as well.

Everyone pulled out, but the center didn't. He just stood in the three-second zone to defend against the breakthrough.

The ball came to Sun Lifeng, who made a direct jump shot.

The ball goes in.

5:6.

When Fuhua's players returned to the half court, Lu Yao muttered to Sun Lifeng:
"He doesn't have enough stamina, just run with him. Be careful of fouls when guarding him, just open your hands."

Although the words are simple, the core idea is only one.

When attacking, take this center for a long stroll. When defending, don't block the shot, stretch your hands and make it difficult for him to get up.

Sun Lifeng understood what Lu Yao meant. Looking at the fat man who had already started wiping his sweat with his jersey, a hidden smile appeared on his face.

And the facts have proved that this center is indeed very powerful.

Under Sun Lifeng's "conservative" defense, the team was invincible and soon the score became 9 to 14.

He scored 14 out of the 10 points.

But every time he scored, Duan Qiwei or Lu Yao would catch the ball and throw it forward.

Don't pursue offensive efficiency, but pursue speed.

After the guy did a few shuttle runs, his breathing became heavier rapidly.

And then... Sun Lifeng took over.

End of first quarter.

The score was kept constant at 11 to 14.

To be honest, this score is not high.

But after all, we are not professional players. Besides, although the home team is behind in points, they are not too far behind, so the atmosphere on Fuhua's side is quite warm.

"Lu Yao, you have to start scoring in the second quarter."

Hearing the coach's words, Lu Yao, who didn't even break a sweat, shook his head slightly:
"In the second half, coach, their other players are not very accurate in shooting. The only threat is the fat guy. Take him for a couple more laps in the second quarter, and leave the second half to me."

When Coach Wang heard this, he also thought it made sense and nodded:
"Okay, Qian Wenke, Duan Qiwei, you two should focus on the pick-and-roll and try to make them commit fouls in the paint..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

This is somewhat contrary to his idea.

Can……

After thinking about it, he said nothing.

……

"Why didn't Lu Yao get any points?"

Hu Li looked at her boyfriend who was whispering with a group of people and muttered something.

"Their team's intention is not to score points. It seems to be speeding up..."

Hearing this, Xu Ruochu gave his own opinion.

At the same time, his eyes fell on the fat man who was gulping down water over there.

Just when he came off the court, he still had a smile on his face.

Obviously thought he played pretty well.

but……

She glanced at the watch on her wrist.

ten minutes.

A quarter is ten minutes long.

Lu Yao didn't even sweat, but he was already sweating all over.

Seeing this, she seemed to understand something and continued:

"For the Shanghai Normal University team, only the tall and fat guy is scoring points. The others are not as good as him, but he seems to be out of stamina. You can see he is sweating a lot. The Fuhua players seem to have noticed this and have been running just now. Did they notice?"

"Uh……"

Hu Li naturally understands basketball.

After being reminded by Xu Ruochu, he immediately looked towards the Normal University.

"I see. They are draining that person's energy."

"Yes. If he is tired and can't score so many points every time, it means that Fuhua's tactics are successful."

The two of them whispered to each other for a while, and then the five-minute break was over.

The players returned to the field.

After coming on the court, Duan Qiwei threw himself in like a madman.

In fact, this is the difference between him and Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu plays basketball slowly, just like an old man visiting a bird market, mainly passing the ball. He doesn't like to have too much physical contact with people, but he is different.

According to Mr. Xu:
"When Old Duan fights, it's like he's carrying a bomb."

When doing the layup, I almost want to throw myself into the basket.

It is precisely this kind of desperate breakthrough and scoring ability that has secured his position as the "breakthrough point guard" in Coach Wang's mind.

The effect he created was naturally gratifying.

Three minutes into the game, the opposing center committed two fouls.

Ended.

"This……"

Looking at Duan Qiwei taking the free throw, Qian Wenke was a little confused.

Subconsciously looked at Lu Yao.

But Lu Yao also had a speechless look on his face.

He went down... wasn't it just to recover his strength?

"Oh, what should we do if that fat guy gets killed?"

Hu Li, who watched the game but didn't understand it, was a little "panicked".

Xu Ruochu also frowned slightly.

Although she didn't understand football, she could see Fuhua's tactical intentions.

Obviously, the player should be led around the field to use up his energy. Why did the player who liked to hold the ball start to run into the crowd at the beginning of the second quarter?
But... after one of two free throws, Fuhua finally overtook the score, 17 to 16.

"Fuhua!"

"come on!"

"Fuhua!"

"come on!"

Finally they overtook the opponent, and the spectators immediately cheered for them.

But in the next two minutes, the score was widened again.

It became 17 to 21.

The opponent scored 4 points in a row.

Because after that center left the court, the opposing team brought in a substitute center who was not as tall as Sun Lifeng but very aggressive.

Not only can this guy jump high, but the key is that he can also run.

Before Fuhua had time to evolve his tactics, Duan Qiwei pushed in and was immediately stuck. When Sun Lifeng pulled out, the opponent followed him out and stuck very tightly.

It can be said that this guy is better than Sun Lifeng in all other aspects except that he is a little rough on the basket.

Moreover, according to Lu Yao, Lao Duan is still speeding up.

Both sides suddenly became faster at the same time.

If you run, I will run too.

Then... with the support of the opponent's substitute center who jumped very high, Fuhua's paint area became a sieve.

Started to run around.

"Bang." Following a big hit by the opponent's center, the opponent's point guard swung his long arm and made a layup, pressing Lu Yao who had already committed a foul, and scored the ball.

And he made the free throw steadily.

17:24.

Lu Yao quickly made a pause gesture to the coach.

Seeing this, Coach Wang also shouted to the referee:

"pause."

"beep."

The game is temporarily suspended.

Lu Yao said immediately after leaving the court:

"Coach, we need to slow down the pace. Brother Duan can only be effective when the fat guy on the other side comes up. If we keep going this fast, we will lose."

When Coach Wang heard this, he also thought it made sense and shouted directly:
"Duan Qiwei, you come down, Xu Ruochen, you go up."

Mr. Xu, who had been sitting on the bench for a while, nodded immediately.

Soon, the 2-minute pause was over.

When they went on stage, Lu Yao pulled him aside and said:
"I'll pick and roll for you. Give me the ball. Brother Qian, you block for me again. Let's see what happens."

Mr. Xu understood what he meant.

After receiving the ball, unlike Duan Qiwei who was running for his life, he moved forward slowly with the ball.

"Come on, Xiaochen!!!"

On the sidelines, Hu Li immediately started shouting.

Master Xu turned a deaf ear to him, stood in the midfield with the ball and looked at it. After Lu Yao started, he immediately went over.

"Pick and roll! Make up for it!"

After Lu Yao blocked the ball and switched positions, the people defending him and the opponent's point guard all ran towards Master Xu.

Master Xu casually threw the ball back, and Lu Yao, who was in a wide open space, made another move!
"Shh!"

20:24.

He raised his hands high in the air and clapped his hands with a smile on his face as Mr. Xu walked over.

"Snapped!"

"oh!!!!!"

"Crash la la la..."

applause.

Hu Li clenched his fists excitedly:

"Youth!!! Xiaochu! Youth!"

A smile also appeared on Xu Ruochu's face.

When the pace slowed down, Mr. Xu's advantage emerged.

The style of play of veteran cadres.

Play steady and steady.

Take your time.

Under his guidance, Qian Wenke's hands finally warmed up.

After two consecutive mid-range shots, the score became 24 to 26.

then……

The fat man came up again.

have to.

Mr. Xu, who was still not satisfied, had to leave.

The fat man had rested enough and started to show his anger to Brother Sun again.

But this time he learned his lesson.

When Lao Duan carried a bomb, he would interfere and did not try to block the shot.

Then...the person defending Qian Wenke changed from the power forward to the backup center.

Now, Lao Qian also felt uncomfortable.

This guy is very flexible and can jump high, just like he does track and field.

This is the kind of person a space-type power forward like him fears the most.

And Lao Duan, who had control of the ball, followed the coach's instructions to blow up the bunker.

But the success rate began to decline.

Because he couldn't get a free throw.

At the end of the second quarter, the score was widened again.

23:30.

Once again the gap was seven points.

and……

Qian Wenke, Wang Bin and Sun Lifeng were a little exhausted.

The Fuhua school team did not know how to allocate their energy and seemed to be on the verge of collapse in the first half.

Lu Yao knew that he had to stand up.

"I'll do the second half."

He said.

……

"It's not over yet? Didn't they say it would only be 40 minutes? It's only the second quarter?"

At the entrance of the stadium, several girls in sportswear looked at the situation on the court, somewhat speechless.

It's almost 5 o'clock.

Hearing his companion's words, Bai Yao shook his head indifferently:
"They have an unveiling today."

"…What's the point of unveiling a preliminary round? And why are we lagging behind? Are we that weak?"

My companion was speechless.

At this time, the whistle for the second half sounded.

Although a few people complained, they still stood at the door and watched.

At this time, the venues on both sides also changed.

The Magic City Master’s generous venue was close to them.

After Master Xu dribbled the ball into the half court, he saw Lu Yao actually walking inside and immediately raised his hand and shouted:
"Pull away."

The people from Fuhua gathered on the other side at the same time, and then Master Xu hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Lu Yao who was already positioned at a 45-degree angle.

Lu Yao, who had almost no losses in the first half, hugged the ball and noticed that the opponent had been hitting his waist with his elbow. He thought to himself that the opponent was playing pretty dirty.

So he turned around and made a triple threat move facing the defender.

As for the guy on the opposite side... because there is very little information about the first half, we only know that both of Fuhua's three-pointers were shot by this guy.

But he is not sure what level Lu Yao’s breakthrough is.

So we adopted the top defense strategy of letting the defense shoot. At the same time, we let go of the left area, which means if you want to break through, then go in with your left hand.

Pretty good.

However, the whole world knows that Iverson's first step is always to the right.

But...what cannot be prevented still cannot be prevented.

Lu Yao’s first step was as fast as lightning.

He took a step to the right, distracted the defender, and then made an exaggerated behind-the-back dribble and broke through.

The jumping guy who was defending Qian Wenke came over quickly to provide backup defense.

In mid-air, a scene appeared that made everyone's eyes widen.

Facing the new defender, Lu Yao raised the ball high with his left hand as if he had calculated it. When the opponent pressed down, he began to exert force and forced his hand back, making a particularly large aerial pull-up layup.

The basketball drew a perfect "U"-shaped arc in his hand, and when the opponent's arm pressed on his body, the basketball also took advantage of the rotation and "licked" into the basket.

"Beep!"

"No. 11, defensive foul, the goal is valid, one penalty is added."

"oh!!!!!"

"Hua la la la la la..."

Applause and cheers broke out instantly.

After Lu Yao, who was lying on the ground, was pulled up, he smiled and high-fived them.

He raised three fingers to the guy who was defending him.

It probably means three points, or you have committed three fouls.

It doesn't matter.

He made the free throw steadily, and when the scoreboard showed 26 to 30, he shouted:

"Zone defense."

In the first half, he found that the players from Normal University were not very stable in their shooting.

Zone defense is obviously the best defensive method.

And it turned out that what he expected was not wrong at all.

Soon, the Normal University's attack was blocked.

After Qian Wenke grabbed the rebound, he threw the ball directly to Lu Yao who was starting a fast break.

Lu Yao just raised his hand and shot the three-pointer from the top of the arc in the center line.

After seeing the basketball go into the net, he pointed directly to the scoreboard.

Hu Li smiled so widely that her hands turned red from clapping.

"Hey, this No. 0 played well."

At the entrance of the stadium, Bai Yao also nodded when he heard his teammates' words:
"Ah."

And it’s just like what they both said.

Lu Yao, start to exert your strength.

The opponent's most capable fat center came up and started a fast break with Duan Qiwei.

When the opponent went down, Master Xu started to slow down the tempo and play pick-and-roll.

At the end of the third quarter, the Normal University team, which had been pushed back and forth by Fuhua several times, could no longer bear it.

By the 4th minute of the fourth quarter, all the fat center could do was hold his waist and helplessly watch Fuhua's No. 0 player complete a layup in a chic manner.

Sigh in despair.

In the second half, Fuhua’s sharpest firepower point started a retaliatory "massacre".

Three points.

breakthrough.

penalty.

Three threats.

worship Buddha.

Lean back...

It was like a standard shooting guard textbook game.

When the whistle sounded, the score was 55 to 42 when the game ended.

Fuhua led by 13 points and got off to a good start in CUBA amid cheers from the audience.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Hu Li, whose face flushed with excitement, began to take the lead.

Then...

The whole audience was filled with shouts of “MVP”.

At this moment, it seemed as if they were at the NBA scene.

Hearing the cheers, Lu Yao, who scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, was grabbed by Qian Wenke and raised his hand.

"oh!!!!"

The cheers for the MVP filled the arena and lingered for a long time.
