Chapter 292 The strength gap of the substitute lineup

beep--

The ball goes in and the whistle blows.

The first quarter of the game is over.

Score 20:17.

Zhenzhong school team leads by 3 points.

Under the basket, Hua Xin News Agency reporter Dewey clicked his shutter and took a series of photos.

He looked at Zhenzhong No. 3 who ran towards his teammates with a smile, high-fived and hugged them, and his heart was filled with disbelief.

Since the start of the league, Lin Weirui can be said to be the most watched player in the entire league.

His physical fitness is extremely strong, his attitude on the field is positive and serious, his offensive methods are varied, and his awareness of the overall situation is top-notch.

Dewey didn't know how many surprises this newcomer who suddenly appeared this year could bring to people?

As a sports column reporter for China News Service, he has access to many people in the industry.

He knew that many of the top teams in domestic professional leagues had begun contact with Lin Weirui.

Moreover, many teams even offered Lin Weirui an unprecedentedly large contract.

It's simply an outrageous exaggeration.

You know, Lin Weirui is only 17 years old this year, not yet an adult, and has not even participated in a college league.

Those top professional league teams are already willing to offer tempting contracts to such a newcomer?

It can be seen from this how popular Lin Weirui is nowadays.

Dewey even began to have a thought in his heart: Will this young boy who was born out of nowhere grow into the backbone of the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team in the future?

He shook his head, everything was too far away.

On the other side, the five members of the Beimen school team did not lose their fighting spirit because of Lin Weirui's steals, fast breaks, and dunks.

Captain Zhou Tianchen led the players off the field with a calm look on his face and came to the side of head coach Mao Kai.

Maokai patted the shoulders of the team members one by one and encouraged them without blame:

"You have done a good enough job in the first quarter."

"Continue to maintain the state and try to give them some color in the second quarter."

Mao Kai is not arrogant, but he has long been calculating in his heart.

Is Zhenzhong strong?

Very strong.

But when Zhenzhong played against Hongyuan, Mao Kai had already seen Zhenzhong's flaws.

Mao Kai knew that with the strength of their team, it would be difficult to conquer Zhenzhong.

But if you don’t try everything, how can you know the final result?

He watched the game carefully and carefully on the sidelines. His thoughts were actually similar to those of Hongyuan head coach Li Chunqiu.

Zhenzhong means using war to nourish the army.

They are using the Beimen school team as a whetstone to hone their players' ability to withstand pressure and defend.

Many people in the basketball stadium can see this.

How could the experienced Maokai not know?

Zhenzhong wanted to use the north gate as a whetstone, why didn't Maokai have the same idea?

Everyone knows that the Beimen school team has strict discipline and is an iron-blooded team.

Their offensive strength is much inferior to their defensive ability.

But this inferiority is only compared to school teams like Hongyuan and Zhenzhong, which are very strong on the offensive end.

A healthy and developing league must learn from each other and improve each other.

In today's game, Maokai also wanted to learn some offensive things from Zhenzhong in actual combat.

Therefore, during the break between the courts and arranging tactics for the second quarter, Maokai made a bold decision.

Except for captain Zhou Tianchen, the other four players from the starting five all took a break.

Maokai decisively changed to a five-small lineup, intending to put more pressure on Zhenzhong on the offensive end while ensuring defense.

beep……

The referee's whistle sounded.

Players from both teams took the field one after another, and the second quarter of the game was about to begin.

Xu Jie was sitting in the stands. When he saw the formation of the Beimen school team, his expression condensed, and he secretly thought that Zhenzhong might be in trouble.

In basketball games, usually at the beginning of the second quarter, both teams will replace a certain number of substitute players.

This is a very normal routine rotation. After all, everyone's physical strength is limited, and the main players also need to rest.

On the Zhenzhong side, Lin Lei also made personnel adjustments, replacing Lin Weirui, Wei Xiaotian, and Zhou Lv, and replacing them with substitutes Cui Qipeng, Sun Mingming, and Chen Hua.

Zhenzhong's lineup is based around point guard Chen Hualai as the core offensive point. Xu Jie has also seen this in daily training.

As a young player on the Zhenzhong school team, Chen Hua has very good talent. No one in the team can compare with him except Lin Weirui for his speed on the basketball court.

But his flaws are equally obvious.

Before he joined the school team, all his energy was focused on the offensive end and his defensive ability was weak.

The game experience is not as good as that of starting point guard Wei Xiaotian. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

Zhenzhong's lineup is much weaker than the starting lineup, both offensively and defensively.

What Xu Jie is worried about is that the young players will not be able to withstand the iron barrel defense of the Beimen school team.

as expected.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Beimen school team took the lead in attacking.

Point guard Miao Changyong dribbled the ball across half court. Facing Chen Hua's defense, he tested the ball outside the three-point line.

Everyone in the Beimen team has undergone rigorous military training.

Miao Changyong, who came on the bench, is much more accomplished on the defensive end than Zhenzhong's substitutes.

With this test, he directly saw that Chen Hua's defensive pace was not rigorous enough, so he decisively chose to break through.

Passing Chen Hua, facing Yue Zhanye who took over in time, Miao Changyong decisively passed the ball to captain Zhou Tianchen.

Because Yue Zhanye had to fill in to defend Miao Changyong, Zhou Tianchen suddenly had an open opportunity.

After Zhou Tianchen received the ball, he strode straight to the basket. Facing center Mo Ming, who was half a head taller than him, he decisively passed the ball to small forward Sun Xiaofeng, who ran out of the three-point line to get an open opportunity.

Sun Xiaofeng raised the knife and dropped it, and the basketball hit the net hollowly.

Three points!

The Beimen school team tied the score at 20:20 at the beginning of the second quarter.

Xu Jie looked at the changes in the situation on the field and nodded secretly.

In the attack just now, the North Gate was still playing team basketball.

No matter the point guard, shooting guard or small forward, they all have no ability to stick to the ball.

They are always looking for the best shot opportunities to ensure the best offensive efficiency.

In Xu Jie's view, in fact, when point guard Miao Changyong broke through Chen Hua for the first time, he could already choose the mid-range shot.

When Zhou Tianchen caught the ball for the second time and faced center Mo Ming, he could also choose to go for a layup.

But precisely because of the strict discipline of the Beimen school team, they did not choose to force the shot, but gave the opportunity to attack to small forward Sun Xiaofeng who ran out of space on the outside.

The offense in this round was so perfect that no one could find any faults.

But the breakthrough point was Chen Hua's lack of basic defensive skills.

Xu Jie told Lin Lei and others.

The most terrifying thing about the Beimen school team is not their defensive ability, but that no matter which five of their 12-man roster play, they can maintain the level of a strong team.

This is something that no other team in the league can do.

But Beimen did it.

It relies on militarized management and training.

However, Xu Jie felt that such an opponent would be a good thing for Zhenzhong.

He has full confidence in his beloved disciples Lin Weirui, Yue Zhanye, and Zhou Lu.

But a basketball game is, after all, a team game of five people. No matter how strong Lin Weirui and the others are, they still have time to take a break.

How to ensure that the substitute lineup can withstand the pressure when the main players are off the field is also an area where the Zhenzhong school team needs to improve.

In the first three minutes of the second quarter, everything went as Xu Jie expected.

Because Zhenzhong was rotated into the substitute lineup, his strength has declined.

But on the north gate side, due to the special nature of the team, they almost maintained the same strength as in the first quarter.

In the midst of one ebb and flow, the Beimen school team gave Zhenzhong a head-on blow.

Within three minutes, while defending and attacking, he maintained a good touch on the offensive end and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

beep……

When Lin Lei called a timeout, the score on the court had already reached 24:29!
