Chapter 101 The Outside Competition

The second quarter started, and the two teams still played inextricably.Since Du Feng just returned from injury, the team imposed a time limit on him, which gave Su Wei more playing time.Su Wei did not suffer a disadvantage in the matchup with Li Meng, but instead had a certain advantage.However, Jia Nan felt hot, which made the Guangdong team fail to catch up.

For the audience, the home team was able to keep pressing the powerful Guangdong team, which surprised them very much.They gave the team full support and continued to cheer for the team through applause and cheers.

Four minutes into the second quarter, the ball was dead on the sidelines, and the two sides made personnel adjustments: for the Guangsha team, Ying Xiong came on and replaced Yin Kui, and Yu Junkai came on to replace Li Meng; for the Guangdong team, Wang Shipeng came on to replace Chen Dawei, and Jackson came on to replace Ji Le.

At this time, the score on the field was 28. The score was not high, which showed the fierce competition between the two sides.

Ying Xiong received the serve from his teammate and dribbled it over.A tall, young man with a height of 206cm came to defend.This person's name is Zhou Peng, and like Liu Xiaoyu, he is one of the rookies of the Guangdong team. This season is also his second CBA season.Zhou Peng is from Liaoning. He has excellent defense and a tough style. He has high hopes from the team.

The defenders changed from Liu Xiaoyu of 188cm to Zhou Peng of 206cm, which made Ying Xiong feel a little funny—why didn't the opponent send Wang Shipeng or Zhu Fangyu to defend him?Is it because you are worried about fouls?
Ying Xiong guessed half right.The reason why coach Li Chunjiang didn't allow Wang Shipeng or Zhu Fangyu to defend Ying Xiong was because he was worried about their fouls. After all, they were the team's main offensive points from outside; secondly, it was because of their physical strength.He has watched Ying Xiong's game video, and he knows that Ying Xiong is a young player who can shoot suddenly and has unlimited vitality.Let your star players defend Yingxiong from the beginning to the end, you will lose a lot of physical strength, which will affect the offensive efficiency; third, there are many young players in the Guangdong team, and there are many who can defend, so Zhou Peng and other young players can pester him. Ying Xiong, it's a good way to consume the opponent's physical energy.

Zhou Peng has a height of 206cm and has relatively fast speed and athletic ability under the same height conditions. This allows him to use the advantage of height and wingspan to interfere with the opponent's shooting and handle the ball when defending defenders. Time will not be too disadvantageous in terms of footsteps.Coach Li Chunjiang planned to build him into the team's perimeter defensive gate at the beginning of the season.The requirements for him on the offensive end are relatively simple. Basically, he shoots open positions and hits two during the fast break.

Zhou Peng's defense is very aggressive. This kind of aggressiveness is not the same as Liu Xiaoyu's sticky defense. It is more direct, full of confrontation and tough physical contact.

Ying Xiong gave the ball to Zhang Nan and then covered Jia Nan. After receiving Zhang Nan's second pass, Jia Nan made another mid-range shot!

The Guangsha team leads by another 2 points!
Zhang Zhe dribbled the ball and gave it to Wang Shipeng at the top of the arc.Wang Shipeng points to the high-ranking Jackson and then goes diagonally to the basket.Jackson's pass was in place, and it was directly passed to Wang Shipeng who cut in.After Wang Shipeng got the ball, he forced a layup and caused a foul by Yingxiong.

There was another substitution adjustment on the sidelines: Yu Liang replaced Li Meng on Guangsha's side.

Wang Shipeng made two free throws and the rebound was grabbed by Yu Liang and handed over to Ying Xiong to advance.Ying Xiong came over with a dribble and faced the 206cm tall Zhou Peng's defense at the top of the arc.

Compared with Zhou Peng, Ying Xiong is not so tall.From the beginning of the season to now, Ying Xiong has never encountered a defender of Zhou Peng's height, which made him a little excited.

Thompson wanted to cover Ying Xiong, but Ying Xiong shook his head and refused.The other teammates of the Guangsha team cooperated to open up space and let Ying Xiong play singles.

Of course, the audience in the stands liked to watch the heads-up, and applauded and booed one after another, fueling the heads-up of the two young players.

Zhou Peng's eyes were very cold, and he lowered his center of gravity with an unwillingness to admit defeat, and stared at Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong skillfully dribbled the ball under his crotch, looking ahead, teasing Zhou Peng's nerves.Shocked by his confident expression, Zhou Peng didn't dare to take the ball easily.

Ying Xiong gave Zhou Peng the feeling that he had the chance to win, as if nothing could escape from his grasp.Sweat had soaked Zhou Peng's back, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead into his eyes.But he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, because Ying Xiong was there.He even felt that even if he blinked his eyes, Ying Xiong would suddenly disappear.

Zhou Peng didn't move, Ying Xiong started it.I saw him make a huge crossover similar to the NBA superstar Allen Iverson, passing Zhou Peng in an instant, and easily entering the 3-point line.After Zhou Peng was passed by, he was eager to turn around and chase, but accidentally lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Ying Xiong encountered Wang Shipeng's help defense near the free throw line. He stopped and started quickly, passed the opponent, and went straight to the basket.At this time, Su Wei and Jackson had already received the basket, ready to help defend.

Ying Xiong took three steps with the ball, facing Su Wei and Jackson, seemingly ready to make a strong move.The two went to block together, but they didn't expect Yingxiong to pass the ball in the air to Yu Junkai in the right corner.At this time, there was no one in the 3-meter radius of Yu Junkai.How could Yu Junkai miss such a good opportunity, 3-point sniper - easy hit!
"Wow - my God!" The audience on the sidelines began to cheer wildly.Ying Xiong's series of actions just now were too shocking and pleasing to the eye.Not only beautiful, but also very effective, making the Guangdong team's defense lose sight of one another.Zhou Peng's fall put an exclamation point on Yingxiong's perfect movement, and Yu Junkai's 3 points gave a perfect end.

The Guangsha team led by 4 points, and there was a timeout on the sidelines!
Coach Li Chunjiang was very dissatisfied with the team's defense this round. He cursed and asked for a timeout.During the timeout, he blamed Zhou Peng for his defensive mistakes and also criticized Su Wei for his omission.

After the timeout, both sides made personnel adjustments: for the Guangsha team, Jia Nan took a rest, Zhang Nan came on, and Qiu Hua replaced Yu Liang; for the Guangdong team, Du Feng returned to the court and replaced Su Wei. Zhu Fangyu replaced Zhou Peng, and Liu Xiaoyu replaced Zhang Zhe.

After the Guangdong team returned from substitutions, the offense has improved significantly.Although Wang Shipeng's offensive effect was not good because of Ying Xiong's strict defense, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng frequently fired shots from outside the 3-point line.For the Guangsha team, Zhang Nan felt hot in this game. His mid-range shots and layups were like divine help, and he went against Zhu Fangyu.

半场比赛结束，两队战成46平。应雄上半场比赛得到13分5个篮板5个助攻2次抢断1个盖帽的全面数据。不仅自己组织、进攻都很不错，还限制了王仕鹏，让对手的进攻效率极低。

At the beginning of the third quarter, the lineups of the two sides have not changed, and they are still their respective starting lineups.

Liu Xiaoyu dribbled the ball and gave it to Wang Shipeng who came out of the bag.Wang Shipeng held the ball, and Ying Xiong followed him closely, not allowing easy shots.Wang Shipeng was also very depressed, why is this young man so difficult to deal with, with such good physical strength and such fast speed.What's more difficult is that the opponent's defensive actions are very sophisticated, and it is difficult to draw a foul.

Wang Shipeng rushed to Yingxiong with the ball, halfway through, and did not get rid of it, so he had to give it to Du Feng who was outside the 3-point line.After receiving the ball, Du Feng made a feint, shook Qiu Hua, dribbled a step, and made a 3-pointer—the ball hit the net!

The Guangdong team leads by 3 points!Li Chunjiang on the sidelines let out a sigh of relief.Zhu Fangyu played mediocre in this game, while Zhang Nan on the opposite side was like a godsend today, scoring even more points than Zhu Fangyu; Wang Shipeng was entangled by Ying Xiong, and his efficiency was not high; although Jackson scored more points than Thompson, he also took more shots; The substitute Jia Nan has a high hit rate, while Zhou Peng is a little lost; only Du Feng is the only point where his team crushes the opponent!

When Li Chunjiang thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.In the final analysis, a basketball game is about matching each other. If there is a link that is not matching, it is easy to find a breakthrough from here and take the initiative.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, and Liu Xiaoyu stuck to it again.Ying Xiong gave the ball to Yu Junkai, and the latter broke through to Zhang Nan with the ball.Zhang Nan continued to break points, and the opportunity came from Qiu Hua's side.

Qiu Hua made a shot - the ball missed!The rebound was taken by Du Feng and given to Liu Xiaoyu to advance.

Li Chunjiang on the sidelines felt more at ease, and the current situation was very close to what he expected.The little-known Qiu Hua on the other side is no match for Du Feng, the famous striker.Although Du Feng has just returned from injury, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and he still has the upper hand against Qiu Hua.

With the help of a screen, Liu Xiaoyu scored a shot to Jackson under the basket. After receiving the ball, Jackson made a mid-range shot, but the ball also missed.The rebound was taken by Thompson and handed over to Ying Xiong to advance.

Ying Xiong quickly moved to the frontcourt with the ball, Liu Xiaoyu retreated very quickly, and followed him without giving him any speed.Ying Xiong changed direction after dribbling the ball behind his back, throwing Liu Xiaoyu half a body away, and using his physical advantage to march towards the opponent's penalty area.

Jichen at the basket is ready to go. He can stay under the basket to protect the frame without defending for 3 seconds in CBA, which saves a lot of energy for him in his 30s.

Just when Ji Chen and Liu Xiaoyu thought that Ying Xiong was going to force a layup, they wanted to give him a back and forth attack.Unexpectedly, Ying Xiong suddenly stopped to dribble the ball under his crotch, took a step back, dodged the space, and pulled it up directly-Liu Xiaoyu couldn't retract his center of gravity, so he could only watch helplessly as the opponent dribbled without any defensive interference. Mid-range jumper.

For this kind of opportunity, how could Ying Xiong miss it, and the ball crashed into the net!

"Wow - so handsome!" The female fans in the stands couldn't hold back the joy in their hearts, and blurted out.

Ying Xiong's movements were done in one go, very beautiful, and directly teased Liu Xiaoyu and Ji Chen.

The point difference was narrowed to 1 point again.So far to the end of the third quarter, the point difference has not exceeded 3 points.The scene was very tense. Du Feng, who had a clear upper hand at the beginning, suddenly lost his glory after Qiu Hua's stalking defense, and his advantage disappeared in an instant.The two teams played outside the ball, and the scene was quite good.Constantly breaking the ball, catching the ball and jumping the ball, fast break and chasing the body for 3 points...

三节战罢，广厦队以69:68领先1分。应雄得到18分8篮板6助攻3抢断。
