After a warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the field.
On the Seventh Middle School side, Jiang Fangping looked serious, looked at his players, and started to click: "Guo Kai, Wang Lei, Jiang Feng, Wang Chengyu, Qin Hao, you guys are starting."
"Me?" Wang Lei was dumbfounded, unbelievable.
Because he played very badly in the last round, he only scored 6 points and 4 rebounds in the game. The data was less than half the usual, but he did not expect the coach to continue to start this game.
"Ah, there is me?" Wang Chengyu was also surprised.
Although Qin Hao was a little surprised, but after all he was mature in mind. He glanced at the third middle school and quickly understood the coach's intentions, and replied loudly: "Yes, coach."
Jiang Fangping nodded to Qin Hao, ignoring Wang Chengyu, but looking at Wang Lei, deliberately making his face straight: "Why, not willing?"
Wang Lei was pumped and jumped up and waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I do, I do."
In fact, it was Jiang Fangping's decision to start Wang Lei after careful consideration. Wang Lei didn't play well in the last game, but that was because his opponent was too strong. Facing the twin towers of the fourth middle school, let alone him, even the captain Guo Kai didn't play very well. And in the past few days, he has seen Wang Lei working hard to train free throws, shooting baskets, dribbles, etc., and is actively making up for his shortcomings, and he is still very pleased.
Of course, the reason why Wang Lei made his debut was not just because of these, but also because of the inside line of the third middle school.
The inside line of the third middle school is Hu Zhixuan and Zheng Chengdong. Hu Zhixuan is 193 cm tall and serves as a center. His physical fitness is not very good. The basketball skills are quite satisfactory. The advantage is excellent consciousness, good rim rotection ability and outstanding rebounding ability.
It's not bad for other people on this side to face Hu Zhixuan in the seventh, but they will suffer some rebounds, and most of them are not Hu Zhixuan's opponents.
Only Wang Lei, who is 191 cm tall and a little shorter than Hu Zhixuan, is better than Hu Zhixuan in his jumping and explosiveness. It is more appropriate for him to compete with Hu Zhixuan for rebounds than others.
The reason for the high level of skills and tactics of the Third Middle School is that in addition to a balanced lineup and a tacit cooperation, there is another point that several players perform their duties and have clear tasks. Although this would appear to be more singular, for example, Hu Zhixuan, scoring is not his task, his task is to protect the rim and grab the rebound.
But because everyone only does one thing and performs their own duties, the cooperation of the third middle school will be exceptionally smooth, and the level of skills and tactics will be so high.
Therefore, Jiang Fangping adjusted the starting players according to the characteristics of the third middle school. Not only did Qin Hao start, but also Wang Lei continued to start. As for Wang Chengyu to start, there was a reason.
"Although the third middle school is strong, we are not weak. We have reached the finals. Are there other concerns?, we are done." Jiang Fangping cheered everyone up, and immediately spread the tactical board, "Wang Lei, You are responsible for defending Hu Zhixuan. His characteristic is excellent rebounding ability, so your task is to compete with him for rebounds. As long as you beat Hu Zhixuan on the glass, you will have completed the task."
"Yeah." Wang Lei's eyes lit up. Others task he is not very confident yet, but it's okay to grab a rebound, not to mention the opponent's is only 193 cm.
Jiang Fangping said again: "Guo Kai, you are in charge of Zheng Chengdong. In fact, his characteristics are a bit similar to yours. You don't have to guard him. It doesn't matter if he scores. As long as you can return the favor, you can get it back."
Guo Kai nodded, expressing his understanding.
"Jiang Feng, you are in charge of Chen Shen. Keep up with him when defending him. His three-pointer is very accurate." Jiang Fangping continued to arrange, "Wang Chengyu, you are responsible for preventing Tu Lei. Tu Lei's strength does not need me to say much, but you must Defend him as much as possible, understand?"
"Understood." Wang Chengyu smiled wryly.
In the third middle school, Tu Lei, one of the top basketball players in Yuyang City High School, has a super scoring ability. He scored 43 points in one game and facing him Wang Chengyu was under great pressure.
In fact, Jiang Fangping also knew that Wang Chengyu could not defend Tu Lei, but anti Tu Lei must be a "physical work", physical exhaustion will be a lot, so he did not let Yuan Xiaogang start, nor Jiang Feng to prevent Tu Lei. It was replaced by Wang Chengyu. If Jiang Feng or Yuan Xiaogang are allowed to defend, it will inevitably consume a lot of energy and put too much energy on defense. What should I do on the offensive end?
Jiang Feng and Yuan Xiaogang are both scorers!
Wang Chengyu's scoring ability is inferior to Jiang Feng and Yuan Xiaogang, but his physical fitness is good and his defense is okay, so he can get entangled with Tu Lei.
Finally, Jiang Fangping looked at Qin Hao: "Qin Hao, your task is to organize the offense. The opponent is a team with a high level of technical and tactical skills. If we can't play a smooth and organized offense, we will probably fall in a disadvantage. The game is changing rapidly, you can act by chance, I believe you."
"Yeah." Qin Hao said solemnly: "Don't worry."
Then Jiang Fangping exhorted a few more words, clapped his hands, and said: "The championship is only one step away from us. We must go all out for today's game, and we can only win without losing!"
"Yes."
"Seventh middle school will win!"
The crowd yelled.
Not far away, the rest area of No. 3 Middle School.
A group of Third Middle School players gathered around coach Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang said solemnly: "Hu Zhixuan, Zheng Chengdong, Chen Shen, Tu Lei, Meng Hao, you are still starting."
This is no surprise. The Third Middle School is different from the Seventh Middle School. The Third Middle School pays attention to integrity and has a fixed lineup and tactical system. It is impossible to change the starting lineup at will. That will only destroy the tactical system of the starting lineup.
Coupled with the balance of the positions in the three, no matter what kind of team this set of starting lineup can deal with, there is no need to make any adjustments.
It is also because of this that Jiang Fangping will arrange it in such detail.
"The strength of the Seventh Middle School should not be underestimated. Don't take it lightly." Jiang Yang first reminded him, and then spread out the tactical board. "Although it is not clear what kind of starting lineup will be sent by the Seventh middle school. We only need to play our own offense and defend well."
"Of course, you should also pay attention to what you should pay attention to. The opponents Jiang Feng, Yuan Xiaogang, Qin Hao, and Guo Kai, these four are very strong, you must be careful."
Then Jiang Yang made some arrangements, that is, how to defend against these people, because he was not sure what kind of starter the No. 7 Middle School would send, so he just mentioned a little bit.
After finishing the arrangement, Jiang Yang raised his voice and said: "Remember, we are the defending champions, and our only goal is to win the championship."
"Yes, coach."
"Win the championship!"
The three players shouted in unison.
For the Big Three, the previous three rounds were just warm-ups. Today's game is considered the main dish, and it is also the time for them to really go all out.
Defending champions, of course, want to successfully defend their titles!
