Chapter 134 Passive Situation

The final game begins.Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, and it was Ryan Kelly who had never defended him before.

Although Ryan Kelly is not a small foreign player with the best physical fitness, his speed is still very fast, and his defense is much better than Yang Li.The reason why he has not been allowed to defend Yingxiong before is that the coach of the Jiangsu team is also to protect him and prevent him from getting into foul trouble.Of course, there are also physical considerations that allow him to devote his energy to the offensive end.It's already the fourth quarter, so there's no need to think about it. It's unquestionable that the best wing in the team will face Yingxiong.

Ying Xiong did not choose to force Ryan Kelly, but passed the ball to White in the low post.Defending White was Jiangsu forward Zhang Cheng.Faced with White, Zhang Cheng was naturally unstoppable, and this was also the most disparate group of strengths among all the matchups on the field.And Ying Xiong just grasped this point.

White singled Zhang Cheng with the ball, and went straight to the basket with his right hand.Where did Zhang Cheng stand in the way, and retreated step by step.At this time, Jon Smith came to help defend.White quickly passed the ball to Thompson under the basket, and the latter dunked immediately after getting the ball!

For the Jiangsu team, Jon Smith made a pick-and-roll and caused Thompson to foul.During his free throw, the Jiangsu team replaced Yang Li with Tang Zhengdong.

Jon Smith made one of two free throws, Ying Xiong received the rebound and moved forward.

Ying Xiong is in the high position and Thompson picks and rolls, Tang Zhengdong does not follow, Jon Smith follows.The opponent used the defensive method of delaying and returning to the position. The two foreign players moved fast and cooperated with each other tacitly. Ying Xiong did not get a good chance to attack.

At this time, Ying Xiong suddenly passed the ball to White who was outside the 3-point line, and Tang Zhengdong, who was defending White, shrank in the penalty area.

White missed a 3-pointer after receiving the ball, and Tang Zhengdong got the rebound.

The Guangsha team's small foreign aid Rodney White is an all-round striker. On the offensive end, he can hold the ball, back up, and shoot. But peripheral shooting has not been his strong point.This is why Tang Zhengdong dared to shrink inside.

Here the Jiangsu team handed the ball to Tang Zhengdong in the low post.Tang Zhengdong immediately hit Thompson with his back after getting the ball.Thompson was much lighter than Li Meng. Compared with Tang Zhengdong, he was inferior in height, weight and size. He was unable to resist his opponent and was losing ground.But Director Wang Fei didn't dare to replace Thompson. Except for defending against Tang Zhengdong's losses, the latter did a good job in other aspects.And as a foreign player, he also has emotions. If he is replaced at this time, there may be problems in the locker room.Director Wang Fei, as a veteran coach who has seen big winds and waves, it is impossible not to know this truth.

Tang Zhengdong hit the inside line, attracted double-teams and gave the ball to Jon Smith, who was open. The latter made a small throw directly under the basket and easily succeeded.

The Guangsha team fell behind by 6 points, and it was already the fourth quarter, and the team faced the biggest crisis at home since the playoffs.The point difference is not impossible to chase, but how can Tang Zhengdong prevent it?Double team?Killed by outside shooters.Not double-teaming?Thompson suffers too much in single defense. If he moves too much, he will be fouled.

The most important reason why so many people are more optimistic about the Jiangsu team before the start of the series is that Tang Zhengdong has no one in the Guangsha team to match him.

Tang Zhengdong is so heavy, his physical fitness in the fourth quarter is a problem, and his efficiency will drop, but the problem is that the Guangsha team is now lagging behind. If there are no targeted measures, it may not be able to survive that time.

Fans of the Guangsha team are worried, the team is now in trouble.The offensive end is inefficient and feels cold; the defensive end is messed up by Tang Zhengdong alone.Everyone's current mentality is to hope that someone from the home team can stand up, at least to catch up with the point difference first.

Ying Xiong, could it be this person?Everyone is not sure, but if anyone has the potential to reverse the game and become a savior, Yingxiong is the most likely person to play this role.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, picked and rolled with Thompson, and then scored White.Tang Zhengdong didn't care about White at all, and let his teammates interfere and frighten him, essentially letting him shoot outside.This is the Jiangsu team's defensive strategy, which is to "gamble", betting on White's 3-pointer.

Because Tang Zhengdong can't defend against Ying Xiong's pick-and-roll attack, he can only adopt this strategy, let White, who has unstable outside shooting, shoot open 3-pointers, and prevent Ying Xiong or Yu Junkai from getting similar opportunities.This is the choice they have to face when using Tang Zhengdong as a center forward. It is not so difficult to choose the one with the least possibility of loss.

White didn't feel good on the periphery of the game. At this time, when the score was behind, and the opponent deliberately let him go, he was angry that the opponent underestimated him, and he was eager to hit a 3-pointer to punish the opponent.As a result, his mentality became a little impatient, and shooting is very taboo, so his wide-open shots are lower than his average shooting percentage.

White's 3-pointer missed, and Tang Zhengdong, who was under the basket, easily got the rebound and handed it to Hu Xuefeng to advance.

Hu Xuefeng dribbled to the frontcourt and handed it over to Tang Zhengdong in the low post. The latter took the ball and did it, causing Thompson's defensive foul.

The game continued, and the Jiangsu team still took advantage of Tang Zhengdong's inside advantage and tried to hand him the ball.But Thompson, who had suffered a lot, no longer sat still, and quickly went around and knocked out the ball thrown by Hu Xuefeng.

Ying Xiong's motor reflexes were extremely sharp, and he quickly surpassed Ryan Kelly next to him, took control of the ball, and then quickly sent the ball to White, who was fast-breaking in the frontcourt. The anger accumulated in his chest before was completely released.

Jon Smith of the Jiangsu team saw that he couldn't stop it, so he could only stop it with a tactical foul.But he couldn't hold it for a while, but the referee's whistle had already sounded, otherwise it would be a dunk for White to rush over.

Zhang Nan sent the ball out of bounds and gave it to Ying Xiong.Ying Xiong asked Thompson for a pick-and-roll. The opponent was afraid of his 3-pointer and decisively switched defenses.

Ying Xiong singled Jon Smith with the ball, and the latter lowered his center of gravity to guard against his breakthrough.At this time, White was in an open position, and Tang Zhengdong shrank inside, with the purpose of protecting the basket and recovering the stamina consumed on the offensive end.

Ying Xiong made a fake pass, seeing that his opponent was unmoved, he used his signature crossover.He is more than 2 meters tall, but his speed of change of direction is as fast as that of a small player, and the range is even greater. Jon Smith was surprised, and he couldn't help but couldn't keep up with his feet and was passed directly.

Ying Xiong went in with the ball in the middle, but the opponent's two wings did not recover. Firstly, he was afraid of the Guangsha team's outside shots, and secondly, he knew that the big center Tang Zhengdong was guarding the basket to protect the frame.
