Chapter 129 The First Playoff Victory

The home atmosphere of the Guangsha team reached a peak, and many fans held back for the whole game, stood up and raised their hands to vent...

After the timeout, neither side made personnel adjustments, and the game continued.

Harris comes off the dribble, picks and rolls Anthony in the high post.The Guangsha team switched defenses directly and did not give Anthony a chance to easily make a 3-pointer.Anthony hit White with the ball, dribbled a few times and couldn't find a good way, and returned the ball to Harris.

Harris held the ball at Thompson, and suddenly made a step-back shot-hit!Harris is in a brave state in this game and has already scored 25 points.

The point difference returned to 3 points again!At this point, the game is over, with 1 minute and 58 seconds left!
Ying Xiong came over with a dribble and was flanked by his opponent in a high position.He quickly sent the ball to White, and the opponent's rotation was also fast.White quickly points to Yu Junkai in the bottom corner, who takes the ball and shoots directly-the ball misses, but Ying Xiong gets the long rebound!
After Ying Xiong got the rebound, he swayed the two defensive players of the Dongguan team under the basket. Suddenly, one of his right hands passed the ball without looking at him, and then passed the ball again to Yu Junkai in the left corner.

For Yu Junkai, nicknamed the "Three-point King", he won two excellent opportunities in this position. It is impossible for him to step into the same river twice!I saw him raise the knife and hit the 3-pointer!
The point difference is back to 6 points!Yu Junkai scored 3 points, killing people!But everyone understands that Ying Xiong's offensive rebounds and trust in teammates' quick passes are the key!
The game continued.Harris dribbled over, and under White's interference, he made a hasty shot-missed!Ying Xiong grabbed this crucial rebound!At this time, Wang Fei requested a timeout!
Back from the timeout, White throws the ball out of bounds.The Dongguan team defended very strictly and did not send the ball to the Guangsha team.At this time, Yu Junkai, who just scored 3 points, made an off-ball screen for Ying Xiong, and Ying Xiong quickly ran to catch the ball.

Ying Xiong wasted time holding the ball at the top of the arc, and everyone else pulled away.At this time, the fans in the stands stood up to cheer for the players at the critical moment.

When there were 9 seconds left in the attack time, Ying Xiong started with the ball.Wang Jing stared at him nervously, her lips were tightly closed, very nervous.

Ying Xiong's large crossover almost knocked Wang Jing away.I saw him suddenly speeding up, successfully passing the opponent, making an emergency stop near the free throw line, jumping up, and shooting—all in one go!
——The ball naturally flew into the net obediently!
The scene was boiling, not only because Ying Xiong's goal was very beautiful, but also because it was less than 1 minute before the end of the whole game, and the Guangsha team had extended their lead to 8 points!It can be said that Ying Xiong's jump shot was the one that killed the suspense of the game!
The Dongguan team requested a timeout!
After a timeout, Harris of the Dongguan team missed a 3-pointer and Thompson got the rebound. The game was basically concluded.

In the end, the Guangsha team defeated the opponent by 103:93 and 10 points, and won the team's first playoff victory in the CBA.The game was full of twists and turns, but under the leadership of Ying Xiong, the team overcame the difficulties and defended the home court!

In this game, Ying Xiong scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, continuing to show people his influence and control over the game.

The Guangsha team won the first game, thus defending the first home court.In the playoffs, a team with home court advantage can theoretically win the series as long as it wins all home games, even if it doesn't win an away game. ——This is the home field advantage, and it is also the reward for all teams that enter the playoffs to win more games in the regular season.

For the Dongguan team, it is a pity to lose at the last moment of the first game, but they did not lose confidence because of this.From another point of view, being able to push the second-ranked dark horse Guangsha team to the end in the away game can be regarded as the completion of the task.In the next two home games, they are also confident that their opponents will return without success.During the regular season, the Guangsha team was deflated at their home court.Of course, for them, it is not enough to just keep the home game. To win the series, they must win the away game.

Before the start of the game, Ying Xiong received a text message from coach Shao Ziqiang.The content of the text message is only one sentence: "If you want to compete for the championship, you must learn to win away games!"

Ying Xiong knew exactly what coach Shao Ziqiang meant.The Guangsha team has the home court advantage in the first round or the semi-finals, but if they face the Guangdong team in the finals, the home court advantage will belong to the opponent.That's why coach Shao Ziqiang said that!The implicit meaning in his words is not to try to give up the away game casually, because the finals may have to try to win the away game!

In this game, the starting lineups of both teams have been adjusted.For the Dongguan team playing at home, Qiu Biao, who performed well in the previous game, replaced Yu Ning in the starting lineup; for foreign aid, Anthony made the starting lineup for Harris.The intention of the Dongguan team is very obvious, which is to increase the height and strength of the inside line and the forward line, so that the Guangsha team cannot attack their inside line like in the first game.The Guangsha team in the away game also made adjustments. Li Meng was replaced by Yao Peng, and the other starting players remained unchanged.

Wang Fei instructed Yao Peng to start for Li Mengjin, also considering the matchup.Li Meng is heavy, can play hard inside, and can also fight hard against the opponent's big center.But his shortcomings are also obvious. His movement speed can't keep up with the opponent's dexterous inside line, so he is targeted severely.

Both teams have adjusted their lineups, and the second matchup is imminent.

The Dongguan team's home fans were very enthusiastic, and the deafening cheers came from the visiting Guangsha team.But this is the away game, and many factors will make the visiting team's players not used to it.

The game started amid the cheers of the Dongguan team's home fans.The members of the Dongguan team who returned to the home court were obviously different from those in the away game. Their self-confidence and energy were completely different.Anthony beat Thompson on the opening jump ball.Zhang Kai beat Thompson under the basket for the Dongguan team's first attack.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, and under the defense of Wang Jing, passed it to Yu Junkai, who was judged in place by the opponent and succeeded in stealing.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Dongguan team took advantage of the home court and played a 6:0 spurt as soon as they came up.The Guangsha team made frequent mistakes, and it could be seen that the players were a little nervous and uncomfortable.

For the Dongguan team, although the Guangsha team is strong, they lack experience in the playoffs, the players are relatively young, and the away games have a lot of ups and downs.Their pre-match plan for this campaign is to grab the start and set a tone for the game.

Director Wang Fei did not ask for a timeout. He asked the players to solve the problem by themselves on the field.As a well-known coach, he led the Bayi team to win many championships, and he knows what difficulties the young team will face in the playoffs.The coach can teach the players some skills and tactics and formulate game plans during training, but they cannot replace the players in the game.

At this time, the Guangsha team faced the interference of away fans, the scale of the away referee, the strangeness of the away environment, and their own tension and pressure. Only the players could solve these on the field.These cannot be resolved from the root cause by a pause.
