Pause.
Jiangda has changed their center forward.
Qiu Cifeng also went down to the field.
Given his personality, he would naturally not accept this.
He sat on the bench, crushing the water cans in his hands.
However, his first two offensive failures and defensive errors made him realize that his stamina was insufficient to support him in playing at an efficient level.
Cheng Mingli, in his wheelchair, glanced at him, then looked at Lu Yibei, who was about to take the stage.
Qiu Cifeng was replaced by the previous PG, who had already rested for more than a quarter.
The advantage is that they have plenty of physical energy.
The downside is that even with plenty of manpower, it's difficult to defend against He Lin.
Therefore, the defense must still be led by the land north of the river.
Lu Yibei looked at Qiu Cifeng:
"Take a half-session break, then come back."
Qiu Cifeng: ...
“This is a fierce battle, and we will still need your sharp blade afterward,” Lu Yibei said again.
Qiu Cifeng opened his mouth, as if to say something.
However, Lu Yibei had already put his hands in his sweatpants and turned to leave.
Qiu Cifeng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cheng Mingli with confusion.
"…he?"
Cheng Mingli smiled, understanding what the first-year student was asking:
He said it was a close battle, and only with you could they win.
"...Anxious?"
"Anxious".
Qiu Cifeng was stunned again.
…The anxious part is, can he guarantee that the score difference won't widen too much?
With a whistle, the players from both sides re-entered the field.
Both sides have changed their players, but He Lin and Da C, those two troublesome guys, are still on the other side.
Lu Yibei sighed as he watched.
"Hey, did your Rukawa Kaede go down to rest?" He Lin asked.
"Aren't you going down yet?" Lu Yibei asked back.
"You didn't download it either?" He Lin retorted.
"I'm a substitute."
Lu Yibei shrugged and said, "It's only been a short time."
Both sides quickly took their positions.
The first round after the pause was a test.
Jiangda's point guard dribbled the ball past half-court.
He Lin chose to continue defending Lu Yibei, and the two huddled together.
"Hey, with the team's strongest firepower all out of the game, who should we let start the attack next, Lao Xu?"
"Old Xu" refers to Xu Changhe, and now the PG has passed the ball to him.
"Old Xu is a master at spot-up shooting. If Lao Cheng and Xiao Liu are both there, he'll definitely have open shots easily, and we'll have a tough time dealing with him..."
He Lin said, "But it's still a bit of a stretch to use it as a starting point."
That's indeed a bit of a stretch.
As soon as He Lin finished speaking, Xu Changhe broke through, but almost lost the ball and had to forcefully throw it out.
After missing the shot, the opposing center, facing a Jiangda center who was a head shorter than him, easily grabbed the rebound.
After the short pass was passed to Jiangdian's number 10, they did not launch a quick counterattack.
Instead, they advanced slowly, and then continued to wage positional warfare.
It seems their current tactic is to play center forward.
Jiangdian's center forward did the same thing, sticking his butt out.
Although the center forward from Jiangda University was not tall, he was heavy enough to withstand the attack.
Seeing that the opponent was not out of position, Jiangdian University's C suddenly turned around, brushed past Jiangdian University's center, and then shot off the backboard.
Two more points.
"The gap has widened even further."
He Lin spread his hands and said to Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei sighed. This first-year junior was a strength-type character, and according to the game's balance, his agility value was indeed relatively low.
When it was Jiangda's turn to attack, He Lin continued to defend Lu Yibei.
"The difference is almost in double digits."
He laughed and said, "Besides, your team is injured this time, so we're missing a defensive anchor and a middle blocker. If we don't score any more points, I guess I'll be able to come off the court to rest after halftime."
After Lu Yibei watched his point guard cross the halfway line, he reached out his hand to him.
The point guard nodded, and with a snap, the basketball was passed straight to him.
He Lin was taken aback: "...You're here?"
Lu Yibei was facing He Lin.
Upon seeing this, both sides were in perfect sync.
Our team didn't make any runs, and the opposing team didn't double-team us.
It was another one-on-one match.
In non-professional matches—like college friendly matches these days—one of the most common tactics is to engage in one-on-one battles.
Lu Yibei looked at He Lin.
He Lin also looked at Lu Yibei.
This guy has been doing the hard work of defense since the last quarter.
Although the basketball had been handled a few times, he immediately passed it on.
"Then let's give it a try."
He Lin bent down, his first thought being to defend against Lu Yibei's breakthrough.
"Jiangda's best player, number 11, is off the court. Next up—"
Zheng Yi's friend from Jiangdian was analyzing both sides.
He didn't have many conflicts with Jiangda University or its students, but since he was there to watch the game, he still hoped his school would win.
Zheng Yi smiled slightly, a slight twitch at the corner of his lips.
Just as he thought.
I initially thought Lu Yibei would be a variable, but it seems that's all there is to it...
Zheng Yi hadn't finished thinking.
Lu Yibei jumped.
He Lin, who was opposite him, didn't expect him to shoot directly. He tried to rush over, but it was too late.
The ball has gone into the net cleanly.
He Lin: ...
He turned to look at the basketball that had fallen to the ground: "...Huh?"
Lu Yibei: "Just lucky."
He Lin: ...
He shook his head again, having no time for further reflection, and went back to defend.
Jiangdian still focuses on inside play.
However, Jiangda's inside game collapsed quickly this time. In order to prevent the ball from being stopped, the ball passed into the inside was passed out again and was received by Jiangdian's number 10.
Number 10 didn't linger and passed the ball directly to He Lin, who had dribbled from the baseline to the three-point line.
