Chapter 21 Fighting too alone!

Beep——!

"The second half of the game begins! Players from both sides are invited to enter!"

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the practice match between Deming High School Basketball Club and Shachang No. 9 Middle School Basketball Club officially began.

Players from both sides entered the court. This time, Sha Chang No. 9 Middle School slightly adjusted the players and did not let Ren Shan, who scored more than 30 points in the second quarter, play.

This move also surprised Deming High School. It stands to reason that Shachang No. 9 Middle School overtook the score in the first half, and at the beginning of the second half, they should pursue the victory.

However, why did the main scorer Ren Shan be replaced at this time? It is really puzzling.

And just when the players at Deming High School were still secretly rejoicing, thinking they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, coach Wen Jing's brows slowly frowned, and a trace of uneasiness washed over his pretty face.

Beep——!

There was another referee's whistle, Deming High School had the ball, and the serve started to attack.

Hu Xu dribbled the ball past half-court, faced Liu Yao's pressing defense, and passed the ball to Huang Dong's hands in a false pass.

(Fake pass: The ball holder pretends to break through for a layup, attracting the defender's attention, and actually passes the ball before the layup, creating an offensive opportunity for the players.)

As soon as Huang Dong received the ball, there was a burst of cheers from Deming High School on the sidelines. In their opinion, without Ren Shan's defense, the ball handed to Huang Dong was definitely safe!

Bang, bang, bang!

The ball was moving in Huang Dong's hands. Without his strong opponent Ren Shan, his face returned to its usual cold expression.

Creak——!

Swish——!

With a cross step, he easily passed the opponent's defender and drove the ball directly to the basket.

Sure enough, without Ren Shan on the court, no one else could guard Huang Dong.

However, just when Huang Dong was about to break through to the inside and prepare for a layup, Miao Jian suddenly rushed up and blocked him with his big hands.

"Don't even think about scoring a goal!"

Huang Dong was naturally able to spot such a big target coming at him, so his original plan for a layup came to an abrupt end. He dribbled the ball and turned around, passing Miao Jian again.

However, just when Huang Dong turned around halfway, his eyes widened instantly, because Liu Yao had already come behind him without knowing when, and had already stretched out his hand to take out the ball in his hand.

Snapped--!

There was a crisp sound and the ball was knocked away. There was nothing I could do, it all happened too suddenly. Even if Huang Dong finally noticed Liu Yao behind him, it was already too late to react.

Huang Ming quickly grabbed the broken ball and quickly rushed to the offensive basket.

"Return to defense quickly!"

Captain Li Gangjian shouted, and Deming's players quickly ran back to prepare for defense.

Huang Dong also reacted in an instant, gritted his teeth and ran back at full speed. His speed was a little faster than Huang Ming, and he finally made up for it before Huang Ming dribbled into the inside.

Swish——!

Huang Ming took off and was ready to shoot!

"Don't even think about it!"

Huang Dong shouted and jumped up suddenly. He must take back the ball that was thrown away from his hand!

However, while Huang Ming's body was still rising, the ball in his hand was suddenly thrown to the other side.

That direction was not the direction of the basket at all, he was actually making a fake shot!

(Fake shot and real pass: As the name suggests, it is similar to fake shot and real pass. It is pretending to shoot or layup. In fact, it is a pass that uses fake actions to attract the opponent's attention.)

Snapped--!

“Beautifully passed on!”

A loud sound sounded. After receiving the pass, Yu Tian hugged the ball with both hands, and his height of more than two meters rose directly from the ground.

Bang——!

A loud noise echoed in the basketball hall, and Yu Tian directly performed a two-handed slam dunk!

After dunking, Yu Tian still held the rim with both hands without letting go. He just hung it on the rim. The entire basketball stand shook violently due to the huge impact, making people afraid that it would happen next second.

Just fall apart.

After hanging on the basketball hoop for three seconds, Yu Tian let go of his hand and then fell back to the ground.

The moment his feet touched the ground, it seemed that the floor beneath his feet was shaking slightly. After all, it was no joke to drop more than two hundred kilograms of weight to the ground!

"Ouch——! The captain is so handsome! What a super explosive slam dunk!"

"It just blew up the whole place! Did you see those guys from Deming? Even if we don't use our ace on the field, you are still no match for us!"

The rest area of ​​Sha Chang No. 9 Middle School started shouting wildly towards the rest area of ​​Deming High School. Yu Tian's explosive dunk really boosted their momentum too much.

This moment also extinguished the joy on Deming's side who was just happy that Ren Shan didn't play.

Wen Jing's face became very ugly, she pursed her lips tightly and gritted her teeth secretly: "It's actually a team defense! That old guy Wang Peng seemed to have spotted Huang Donghui's singles, so everyone's defense was focused on Huang Dong.

Dongshang! What an old fox!"

On the other side, in the rest area of ​​Shachang No. 9 Middle School, Wang Peng looked at Wen Jing with an ugly face, and the corner of his mouth curved again;

"Wen Jing, Wen Jing, your intention is too obvious. Yes, that boy is indeed not weak. He may be able to compete with Ren Shan in terms of personal ability."

"It's a pity that this is his advantage, but it is also his disadvantage. At the age of high school students, players with stronger personal abilities are often less able to play this kind of team game."

"That kid is so unique in playing basketball. No matter how good he is on his own, in the sport of basketball, it is impossible for him to win by himself!"

From the moment Huang Dong scored his first goal in the second quarter of the game, Wang Peng paid close attention to him.

It only took this "battle-hardened" coach a few minutes to see Huang Dong's strengths and weaknesses.

He discovered that as long as the ball reached Huang Dong's hands, it would never be passed out again.

With this discovery, Wang Peng came up with a new tactic, which could defeat Huang Dong without the need for Ren Shan to play!

Wang Peng's strategy for joint defense is also a very correct choice.

When Huang Dong was in the United States, he always played street basketball and rarely had contact with regular five-on-five team games.

In streetball, individual skills and scoring abilities have always been valued. Moreover... in the United States, there is still some discrimination against Asians, so Huang Dong has rarely played cooperative games with others.

It is conceivable that no one would look at a yellow-skinned boy on a street basketball court in the United States, and no one would pass the ball to him even during a game.

Therefore, Huang Dong can only seize every opportunity to get the ball. No matter what method he uses, he must rely on his own strength to send the ball into the basket.

He has long been accustomed to "riding alone for thousands of miles". For a moment, he was a little at a loss when faced with the targeted joint defense against him by Shachang No. 9 Middle School.

Snapped--!

Once again, the ball in Huang Dong's hand was cut off from behind. As he watched the basketball getting further and further away from his sight, and getting smaller and smaller, for a moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

It feels like a lion surrounded by wolves. No matter how powerful he is, he can't withstand the "bites" from all sides!

Beep——!

"Deming High School requests a timeout!"

In the third quarter of the second half, only two minutes into the game, Wen Jing had to take a timeout.

The players from both teams returned to the rest area. On the Deming High School side, Huang Dong suddenly had unsteady breathing and rapid wheezing for the first time.

"Huang Dong! Why don't you pass the ball out when you have no chance to attack!"

Coach Wen Jing hadn't even spoken yet, but Takagi sharply scolded Huang Dong first.

In fact, seeing Huang Dong's miserable state now, even though the team was lagging behind, Takagi was not panicked but happy.

On the surface, he looked like he was questioning Huang Dong plausibly, but in fact, he was secretly chuckling in his heart; Haha, let you be so arrogant, I never thought you would be like this!

"Okay! Takagi!"

Wen Jing shouted sharply, and Takagi flinched back, but he still thought that being able to "humiliate" Huang Dong with words would be worth it even if he was scolded by the coach.

Wen Jing looked at Huang Dong, who was sitting on the bench with his head lowered and panting, silent, and the expression in his beautiful eyes gradually became complicated.

Finally, she opened her lips lightly and said: "Wen Qi, after the timeout ends, you will come on. Huang Dong, you will come down and rest for a while."

When Huang Dong, who was sitting, heard that he had been replaced, his whole body was shaken, but it was only a shock, and then he nodded silently.

He himself is also very aware of the current situation. If he cannot break through the joint defensive tactics of Sha Chang No. 9 Middle School against him, then he will not be able to play any role on the court.
