Junior Basketball says

Chapter 54
I have to say that there is still a gap between people. Even if American high school players have average skills, their bodies are much stronger than Chinese players.And we are all young people, no matter how big the technical gap is, how big can it be? It's not as big as the gap in physical fitness, right?In this way, it is normal for the Challenger team to fall into a disadvantage on the scene.

Of course Gong Xiaoyang didn't want to be suppressed like this. He continuously mobilized his troops and changed tactics in order to regain the initiative from Artesia High School.Unfortunately, the gap in hard power is still quite obvious. The score difference between the two sides has always been around 10 points. Although it is difficult for Artesia High School to continue to expand its lead, it has not allowed the Challengers to narrow the score difference.

However, Xu Hao could already see that the opponent was deliberately letting the water go, because Pera didn't put Harden on the court until the end of the first half.Xu Hao believes that as long as Harden plays, the Challenger team basically has no one-on-one generals, and can only choose to attack and attack. At that time, the scene will look good, and they may score a high score in the end, and then they will use a larger The disadvantage loses the game.

It can be seen from this that Pella's emotional intelligence is still very high. Although Gong Xiaoyang had asked him not to release water before, he still did a little tricks when arranging troops during the official game. He did send out his most commonly used He also put Harden on the field, but after the first substitution, he mainly rotated players.

But this fact makes Xu Hao feel even more embarrassed. People are so arrogant and the team can't beat them. Is the level gap between American and Chinese campus basketball so big?If this is the case, are my efforts still meaningful?

While Xu Hao was thinking about his life, the first half of the game was over. Artesia High School led 52 to 40 by 12 points, and judging by the opponent's appearance, they didn't put in too much effort. To put it bluntly, they didn't Take this game seriously, and you can lead by double digits by playing casually.Gong Xiaoyang's face was a little ugly, and he led the players back to the locker room.

Before, some people just took this match as a formality, but seeing Gong Xiaoyang's face, they didn't dare to laugh and fight wantonly.Gong Xiaoyang looked around, his sharp eyes made everyone lower their heads, he frowned and said, "You guys played well in the first half, but still didn't meet my expectations. This game is regarded as a game, do you think winning and losing is the same? If you all think so, we will return to China tomorrow to avoid embarrassment here!"

Seeing everyone's repentance, Gong Xiaoyang softened his tone and said earnestly: "You all saw it. They were obviously throwing water in the first half. They didn't want us to lose too badly. But we can't because In this way, you don’t take the game seriously? In the second half, you all have to be more serious to me, show your momentum, and lose with backbone!”

After Gong Xiaoyang's encouragement, the team members finally boosted their morale again, and their attitude towards the game became serious.Although they may not be able to fight even if they are serious, in Gong Xiaoyang's view, a correct attitude is very necessary.

At the beginning of the second half, Xue Xiaofeng continued to attack the inside with the ball.In the first half, he was blocked twice, one of which was so blocked that he flew out of the baseline. Now in order to prove his strength, he gritted his teeth and rushed in with the ball again and again.

Pera also felt Xue Xiaofeng's indomitable momentum on the sidelines, and he couldn't help frowning.He wasn't worried about his players being injured. The physical fitness of both sides was clear at a glance. He was only afraid that Xue Xiaofeng's reckless style of play would hurt him.

He thought for a while, walked to the Challenger team's bench, knelt down and asked in a low voice, "Gong, what's the matter with your players? If you continue to play like this, the risk of injury is very high. I don't want to see this." Something happened to the kids."

Gong Xiaoyang shook his head and said, "We appreciate your kindness, but we came all the way to the United States just to feel the gap in the basketball level of the two sides in high school. Coach Pera, please don't let it go, we have a sense of proportion."

Pera smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, Gong, I know what you think, then I will arrange it now."

For Gong Xiaoyang's thoughts, Pella can more or less understand. If his team were to challenge a stronger opponent, he would definitely feel upset if the opponent let him go.So when the ball was dead next time, Pera asked for a substitution, and directly replaced the initial five-man team on the field in one breath, which met Gong Xiaoyang's request.

But Gong Xiaoyang did not follow suit. He hoped that more players could feel the real strength of the opponent.The Artesia High School players who were ordered by the coach began to control the rhythm of both offensive and defensive ends without any scruples. The Challenger team did not score any sports games for 3 minutes. Only Xue Xiaofeng hit two free throws after relying on a breakthrough to cause a foul. The point difference was pulled to nearly 20 points.

Seeing such a one-sided situation, Gong Xiaoyang couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly, but on the surface he still looked calm, but he also started to change people, and Xu Hao, Sun Lianlian and others who had exhausted before also went into battle again.

When Xu Hao came on the court, Harden had already scored 31 points like cutting melons and vegetables, and he was almost unstoppable. Of course Xu Hao also knew that he could not stop this fat man, so he could only work hard on the offensive end.He did get a chance to shoot through active running, and barely helped the team narrow the point difference to less than 15 points, but this is the limit of what he can do.

In fact, many people don't understand why Gong Xiaoyang asks the other party to go all out. Everyone makes a fight with each other, and then ends the game with a score that both parties are satisfied with. Isn't that great?Why do you have to make yourself unable to step down now?

Sun Lianlian also thought the same way. He complained to Xu Hao while the opponent was attacking with the ball: "I don't know what Director Gong thinks. Isn't it good for the opponent to let the water go? Then we might still win the game." Woolen cloth!"

Xu Hao glared at him angrily: "You want such a victory, but I don't want it. If there is a gap, there is a gap. There is nothing to say about being inferior to others. Just keep working hard, even if you can't even face up to the gap. "

Of course, the final result of facing the gap was that the Challengers were defeated 80 to 97, which gave the trip to the United States a bad start.Although they came here just to see the world, the price of seeing the world is not small. No matter what kind of game, losing will never make people happy, let alone a disastrous defeat of nearly 20 points.
