Chapter 122 Ending the Losing Streak
The game continued.For the Shanxi team, Major Wengert made a hook at the basket and started the team first.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, set up a pick-and-roll with Li Meng on the line, and then used the pick-and-roll to score suddenly.As a result, Zhang Nan felt hot in the opening stage. Under Ying Xiong's second pass, he scored 5 points in 5 of 10.

Except for the first offensive round, Ying Xiong didn't have too many personal offenses, mainly connecting teammates.As a result, with 5 minutes left in the first quarter, he was replaced by Yin Kui, with 2 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

The team leads the score, with the advantage of the home court, coupled with the excellent touch of the outside players of the Guangsha team in this game, the players of the Guangsha team have a strong willingness to stop the losing streak.As the bottom of the league, the Shanxi team has nothing outstanding in offense and defense.The offense relies on foreign aid singles, and the defense lacks strength and communication between teammates.

At the end of the first quarter, the Guangsha team led by 28 points at 18:10.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the second team led by Ying Xiong and Rodney White appeared.In the first round, he used tough defense to cause the opponent's pass to go out of bounds.

Ying Xiong came over with the dribble, picked and rolled with Yao Peng, and White, who made an empty cut in seconds, made a dunk!
Here, Ying Xiong directly steals the opponent's pass and accelerates directly in the backcourt. None of the Shanxi team members can keep up.

Only less than 3 minutes later in the second quarter, the Guangsha team had already played a wave of 11:0 climax, quickly pulling the point difference to 20 points.The Shanxi team's substitute players were a little at a loss on the court, not knowing what to do.The head coach of the Shanxi team can only choose to suspend.

After the timeout, the Shanxi team changed back to the main force, while the Guangsha team did not change.

The return of the Shanxi team's main force can't change the situation. With Yingxiong's sudden shots from inside and outside, coupled with White's efficient finish.At the end of the first half, the Guangsha team led by 69 points at 39:30.

Ying Xiong played the entire second quarter and scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists in the first half of the game, becoming the main contributor to the team's opening of the point difference.

In the second half of the game, Ying Xiong didn't play again.Firstly, the other team members feel good in this game, even if Yingxiong does not play, the victory is already decided; secondly, the team is also to protect Yingxiong, after all, he has just returned from injury.

In the end, the Guangsha team defeated the visiting Shanxi team by a big score, ending their 3-game losing streak.

Since Ying Xiong came back, the Guangsha team relied on the power of the home court to beat the Shanxi team at the bottom of the league. The overall appearance of the team has taken on a new look.Compared with the depressed mood during the 3-game losing streak, the contrast is huge.

Two days later, the Guangsha team will continue to sit at home and face the visiting BJ team. The strength of the BJ team is average, and it belongs to the kind of team that competes for tickets to the playoffs.For an opponent of this level, as the top 3 Guangsha team in the league, there is no reason not to win.

In the game against the BJ team, the Guangsha team led the game, leading by more than 20 points at most.In the end, the stronger Guangsha team defeated their opponents at home and ushered in two consecutive victories.Ying Xiong played for 30 minutes and scored 27 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, a "quasi triple-double" data.

Three days later, the Guangsha team visited Yunnan and started a contest with the bottom-ranked Yunnan team.Relying on the multi-point blossoming led by Ying Xiong, the Guangsha team easily defeated their opponents in the away game and ushered in a 3-game winning streak.

After defeating the Yunnan team, the Guangsha team returned to Qiantang to prepare for the next "Zhejiang Derby" rematch with the Wanma team!

The two teams are both from Zhejiang, but the current situation is completely different.The Guangsha team, which is only playing in the second CBA season, ranks among the top three in the standings and has already entered the playoffs ahead of schedule.The veteran CBA team Wanma has a winning rate of less than 3%, and is still struggling for a place in the playoffs.

The Wanma team is very envious of the Guangsha team having a young hero like Ying Xiong.Seeing Ying Xiong leading the Guangsha team all the way forward, I am even more impressed by the addition of outstanding players to the strength of a team.

On December 12, the Guangsha team played against the Wanma team at home.The process and results of the game fully reflected the current strength gap between the two teams.The Guangsha team easily defeated their opponents calmly and ushered in 28 consecutive victories.On the other hand, the Wanma team is drifting away from the playoffs.

After defeating the Wanma team at home and winning the second round of the "Zhejiang Derby", the Guangsha team rushed to XJ non-stop to challenge the XJ team, which is second in the standings.

The importance of this game is self-evident.If the Guangsha team wins the away game, they will surpass the XJ team by virtue of the number of wins and losses between each other, and jump to the second place in the standings; and if the XJ team wins, it will stabilize its second place in the standings.So in this game, both sides are determined to win.

Of course, the XJ team, which is playing at home, can't afford to lose in this game.You know, in the first round of the confrontation between the two teams, with Ying Xiong's outstanding performance, the Guangsha team narrowly beat the XJ team at home.In that game, Battelle, the core of the XJ team, was also sent off.Therefore, not only for the consideration of the place in the standings, but also in terms of emotions and spirits, the XJ team must win this game.

In this game, Guan Xiuchang, the protagonist of the "Foreign Aid Trouble" of the XJ team, is still being treated in the hospital because of a habitual dislocated elbow, so he did not play in this game. XJ team coach Jiang Xingquan used the new and old combination of Jin Lipeng and young player Zhang Shu to start. This is also Zhang Shu's third start.

The XJ team's starting lineup is Jin Lipeng, David Jackson, Zhang Shu, Battelle, Xue Yuyang; the Guangsha team's starting lineup is the same as the previous games: Yu Junkai, Li Meng, Zhang Nan, Ying Xiong, Thompson.

This battle of focus has attracted many reporters from the media circles. Everyone is looking forward to the dialogue between Ying Xiong, a rising star, and Battelle, a former NBA champion center.

Thompson and Battelle jumped the ball in the middle circle.With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.Battelle's bounce was not as good as Thompson's. The latter touched the ball and gave it to Yu Junkai.Yu Junkai passed it on to Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong dribbled the ball across the half. The XJ team let Zhang Shu, a teenager born in 1991, defend Yingxiong.For the XJ team coach Jiang Xingquan, in such an important game, dare to reuse Zhang Shu, a young player who is less than 20 years old, and dare to let him defend the opponent's top star. This courage is indeed beyond the comparison of ordinary coaches.

Of course, the Guangsha team is also very clear that the XJ team's move is also a helpless move, because there is indeed no player in the team who can match Yingxiong in all aspects.Rather than let the small foreign aid David Jackson take the risk of fouling to defend Ying Xiong, it is better to let the young and aggressive Zhang Shu consume the opponent.

Entrusted with important tasks by coach Jiang Xingquan, Zhang Shu was in high spirits and was very active in defense.His feet move quickly. Although he is one size smaller than Ying Xiong, he is fearless and sticks to the opponent without hesitation, and does not give the opponent a chance to speed up easily.
