Kevin Johnson has already played the ball for halftime. After two quick attacks at the beginning of the offense, both sides still have to fight in positional battles once.

Unlike regular season games and invitational games, after the start of this tournament, Bellman no longer used joint defense at the beginning, but instead switched to man-marking defense.

Even in the first game, facing a team with extremely poor outside projection like Los Altos Conqueror, Bellman still used more man-to-man than joint defense.

The reason is that joint defense does not require high physical fitness and defense level of players, but they have high requirements for their defensive awareness and basketball IQ, and players must have a very good cooperation and tacit understanding.

Bellman knew that what high school players, especially blacks, lacked the most is physical fitness and physical strength, and what they lacked the most was consciousness and brain.

His joint defense system can be said to be invincible against some weak teams around Palo Alto and can beat the opponent out of shit.

Once facing strong teams, especially teams with strong breakthroughs, the Vikings' joint defense will often lose sight of one thing.

Sometimes this kind of regional defense not only does not play a role in sharing pressure but jointly defending, but also causes Gan Guoyang, who is in the inside, to keep busy wiping his butt.

This was reflected in the game against Skyrim High School. The 3-2 joint defense line could not stop Gary Payton, who was in a stunning way.

And now facing Kevin Johnson who defeated Gary Payton, Bellman naturally dared not use joint defense anymore.

I saw Diepembroke start to get entangled after Johnson passed half, and it can be said that he is indecisive.

Kevin Johnson was driving the ball while observing the situation on the court. Obviously, for him, Deepembroke's defense was simply drizzling.

At this time, the Dragons' power forward came forward to do pick-and-roll for Johnson. Pick-and-roll is indeed the best weapon in any level of basketball league.

Johnson used his teammates' cover to easily get rid of Dipembroke's entanglement. Facing Vigis who had switched defense, he did not choose to continue to break through, but instead made a 45-degree jump shot.

"Brush!" The ball entered, a simple and efficient attack, and the Vikings' defense line didn't even have time to react.

For teams like the Vikings who are slow-paced and defensive, the most annoying thing is this simple and rough style of play.

It’s like a martial arts master who set up a dragon gate formation and waited for the other party to challenge him. As a result, the other party took out a gun and broke the martial arts master!

"Damn it, how come you just meet such a team with no technical content!" Bellman cursed on the coach's seat when he saw the Dragons' attack.

He has always criticized teams that simply rely on players' talent as lack of skills, although the high school basketball game is about talent.

Just when Bellman slandered the Dragons without skills, Gan Guoyang asked for the ball in the weak waist position, and Dippenblock easily hung the ball to Gan Guoyang.

After receiving the ball, Gan Guoyang dribbled the ball inside, facing the opponent's forward who came up and shot forcibly.

"Bang!" Gan Guoyang took advantage of his height and arm length to easily hit the board and enter the frame.

"This is the fucking technique!" Bellman praised in his heart when he saw the proud disciple score a goal. He never expected that he was just saying that the opponent's offense was not skilled...

The game was unexpectedly smooth, with both sides playing well, making no mistakes or fouls, and the rhythm of the entire game was very smooth.

The shooting percentages of both sides were even more terrifying. In just ten minutes, the score had reached 26:27, and the Vikings fell one point behind.

In high school games without offensive time limits, such scores are often half-time scores for both sides.

Gan Guoyang was invincible in these ten minutes. He not only relied on his proud skills to turn over and jump shots, but also scored repeatedly by throwing away the opponent's center forward and dunked hard, winning the audience's applause.

On the contrary, except for the two scores at the beginning, Kevin Johnson of the Dragons mostly relies on his own breakthroughs to create opportunities for his teammates during other times.

Other players of the Dragons are in good shape, facing the Vikings' not strong one-on-one defense, they bloomed at multiple points, and were one point ahead of the Vikings in the score.

However, when Gan Guoyang got a frontcourt rebound and poured the basket with both hands, the Vikings successfully overturned the score at 28:27.

"Beebeep", at this time, the Dragons called a timeout, and there were 9 minutes left before the end of the first half.

"Hey guys, you play well, you play well, but I think we can play better!" Bellman clapped and encouraged the players, thinking whether he should adjust his tactics.

Because although the Vikings fought smoothly, he found that this was not the rhythm that the Vikings were familiar with.
