The decadent second-generation rich kid and the fallen female basketball star grow together, striving for glory for the country. The light of glory is light, and the light of kindness is also light...
Lu Yu repeatedly sent the ball across the halfway line using his individual skills.
Even if someone hasn't crossed halfway, various passing options can still break through Yang Lingling's defense.
Both inside and outside shots are firing on all cylinders.
At halftime, the Luyu team led by 5 points.
Wang Jie's team had no choice but to adjust their defensive tactics.
Yang Lingling returned to the basket, and Wang Jie guarded Lu Yu.
This is a tactical response that Lu Yu had prepared for.
Lu Yu dribbled rhythmically, feinted to the left, accelerated and changed direction, easily getting past Wang Jie.
Lu Yu dribbled the ball and ran, and Wang Jie's footsteps were very close behind her.
Lu Xuping also turned to defend, and there was a strong tendency for her to be double-teamed.
Lu Yu didn't hesitate, seized the opportunity, and made a bounce pass.
"Bang--"
The basketball narrowly avoided Lu Xuping, who was running, and flew towards Chu Feiyu.
Lu Xuping sensed something was wrong and quickly turned around to block Chu Feiyu.
Chu Feiyu caught the basketball, her body slightly lifted, the force of her jump transmitted to her outstretched arms.
She knew that if the shot missed, Yang Lingling would most likely get the rebound. Therefore, this shot not only represented a one-point difference, but also whether she could break through Wang Jie's team's new tactics.
The basketball slipped from Chu Feiyu's hands, streaking across the sky like a shooting star at great speed.
"Clang—bang!"
The basketball hit the rim, bounced off, and landed back under the basket.
Chu Feiyu watched the basketball fall, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Yesterday's practice session had largely focused on her stationary jump shot after Lu Yu passed the ball, but problems still arose today.
It's still about the crucial plays.
Her standing jump shot was absolutely inaccurate...
"Back on defense!"
It was Lu Yu's voice.
Yang Lingling had already grabbed the rebound and strode away.
Chu Feiyu's frustration dissipated, and she quickly retreated.
Yang Lingling sped up and, with Wang Jie's cover, dribbled the ball to the basket and leaped up.
Lu Yu and Shu Juan jumped to intercept at the same time.
Too late.
Yang Lingling slammed the ball down with tremendous force, her momentum unstoppable.
Next, Lu Yu repeatedly tried to create scoring opportunities beyond the three-point line.
Lu Xuping is usually quiet, but she often unleashes her full potential under pressure. Today, her off-ball movement and defensive positioning were excellent, effectively shutting down Chu Feiyu's three-point attempts.
Chu Feiyu was blocked and forced to jump and shoot again. The basketball flew out, and she was even a little afraid to open her eyes to watch the basketball bounce off the ground.
"Bang!"
As expected, it didn't go in again...
Yang Lingling grabbed the rebound again.
Chu Feiyu watched Lu Yu's retreating figure as she ran with all her might, her eyelids throbbing slightly. She was indeed that unstable factor that held her back.
Yang Lingling jumped, and Shu Juan also jumped with great force, blocking the shooting route.
Yang Lingling immediately retrieved the basketball, and as soon as it landed, she passed it to Wang Jie, who came to receive it.
Wang Jie glanced at Lu Xuping's position, calculating the passing path for the outside attack. Just as she was about to receive the ball and step back, her hand went empty.
The ball has been intercepted!
It's a potato!
Wang Jie had no idea when Lu Yu ran over from Yang Lingling's position.
Lu Yu accelerated like a catapult launch, seemingly coming to a sudden stop only to accelerate again, swerving past Lu Xuping.
Lu Yu seemed to create a gust of wind on the field.
"Feiyu, three points!"
Lu Yu had just dribbled the ball across half the field when he passed it to Chu Feiyu.
Lu Xuping and Wang Jie were both attracted by Lu Yu.
Chu Feiyu knew that this was a shooting opportunity created for her by Lu Yu's hard work, and she could not afford to make any mistakes.
She paused for a moment, abandoned the three-point attempt, continued dribbling, and scored with a simple three-step layup.
It's a disgrace that a shooting guard is afraid to shoot from beyond the arc and has to rely on a three-step layup to score.
Chu Feiyu watched as sweat dripped down Lu Yu's chin, and the stray hairs on his forehead were already soaked.
She dared not look Lu Yu in the eye.
Time will not stop, and the game will continue.
Wang Jie's team took the lead thanks to Yang Lingling's powerful dunk.
At the end of the third quarter, Lu Yu scored 11 points with a solo drive, barely stabilizing the situation. Lu Yu's team trailed by 2 points.
Lu Yu picked up a towel, wiped away her sweat, stared at Chu Feiyu's lowered head, and said in a cold voice, "Look up."
Chu Feiyu bit her upper lip and looked up. "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm sorry."
"Why didn't you try shooting?" Lu Yu asked directly, as if she hadn't heard Chu Feiyu's apology.
"My standing jump shot is really bad."
"But you can make three-pointers while running, which proves that you found your shooting touch yesterday." Lu Yu gulped down a mouthful of electrolyte water, his words striking a chord with everyone, "Because you're afraid, you're afraid of losing the game."
Shu Juan stood aside, watching Lu Yu coldly scold people, unable to get a word in edgewise.
Lu Yu tidied her hair again, quickly bundling it into a slightly crooked bun. "Chu Feiyu, I... I'm actually very nervous. In 3v3, it's hard for me to create opportunities for you to run and shoot, and with clear defense, I can't play the role of shooting guard. We really need you right now. I believe in you too."
Looking into Chu Feiyu's suddenly focused eyes, Lu Yu said softly, "Win or lose, we must stand firm, understand?"
Chu Feiyu's eyes welled up with tears. "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm going to win this round for you!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was firm.
