Chapter 92

After two consecutive home games, the Guangsha team will usher in a wave of away trips to the "Magic City" Jiangzhou to challenge the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team.The performance of the Shanghai team this season is not satisfactory. Before this game, they had just ushered in a wave of 3 consecutive losses, and they have not yet won the game.The performance of the team's two foreign aids was very different. The poor performance of the small foreign aid Sheldon Bailey greatly affected the team's combat effectiveness.

In the playoffs of last season, although the Shanghai team was swept by the Guangdong team 4:0, the then coach "Little Zhuge" Li Qiuping's flexible use of two foreign players on the field has been talked about by fans so far.Last year, the Shanghai team's scoring champion, Oxa, in the playoffs, made the insiders Yi Jianlian and Jackson of the Guangdong team break out in a cold sweat.His excellent physical fitness and excellent ability to hit the basket were the most powerful scoring weapons of the Shanghai team last season.

However, from time to time, the two foreign aids this season always feel a little off. Needless to say, it is eye-catching, even the general level of the league is difficult to achieve.

In this campaign, the Shanghai team is playing at home. Facing their double-kill opponents last season, they naturally hope to end their losing streak and regain confidence from the young Guangsha team.The Guangsha team has just been humiliated by the Jiangsu team at home. In this campaign, they challenge the Shanghai team, which is not very strong, and also hope to beat their opponents and make a good start for their away trip.

Ying Xiong, who was doing shooting training before the game, was very excited because he could have a direct dialogue with the national team defender Liu Wei. This kind of opportunity to learn and compete is very rare.He wants to pass this game to test the gap between himself and the national team defender.

In this game, the Guangsha team adjusted the starting lineup. Because Yao Peng was injured, Li Meng replaced him in the starting lineup, and the other 4 players remained unchanged. The starting lineup of the Shanghai team is: Liu Wei, Luo Xudong, Xu Yong , Wu Yang, Jerrod Ward.

The game started on time, and the Guangsha team got the first wave of offensive balls.Ying Xiong slowly dribbled the ball over, and Liu Wei of the Shanghai team came up to defend.

Ying Xiong assigned it to Yu Junkai who came over to meet him. The latter used Li Meng's pick-and-roll to break through with the ball, and after encountering Luo Xudong and Wu Yang's pincers, he assigned it to the high-ranking Thompson.Thompson hit Jerrod Ward face-to-face, but was interfered by Xu Yong who was supplementing the defense and failed to make a shot.

The rebound was protected by Liu Wei and he dribbled quickly.Ying Xiong defended Liu Wei very seriously and did not allow him to easily break into the frontcourt.As a defender of the national team, Liu Wei has always been known for his physical strength and strength among domestic players.Ying Xiong feels that his core strength is strong, which is different from other small guards.And he is also very fast, if the defender is not paying attention, he may be robbed or even passed by him.

Ying Xiong uses his height and wingspan to defend mainly by staying in position, supplemented by interference with shooting and passing.Liu Wei didn't have a chance to directly attack the frame, and gave the ball to the foreign aid Jerrod Ward outside the 3-point line. The latter directly chose a 3-point shot-fortunately, he didn't make a hit!
Ying Xiong received the rebound and advanced with the ball.Liu Wei followed closely, kept putting pressure on the ball, and tried to steal many times, giving Ying Xiong an unprecedented defensive experience.Although some foreign aid had defended him before, many of the foreign aid's defenses were put on airs, and they seldom put down their airs to fight a young domestic defender.As a defender of the national team, Liu Wei is serious, aggressive and oppressive in defense, and has some small moves. However, as a national defender, this campaign is at home, and the referee will not brag about such moves.

Ying Xiong was not used to it at first, and Liu Wei kicked the pass out of the sideline.

For Liu Wei, it would be too wasteful for the opposing camp to send an unknown tall point guard, not to go up and steal the ball, not to give him lessons, and to give full play to his advantage.

Jerrod Ward sent a throw-in to Liu Wei, and with Jerrod Ward's cover, Liu Wei threw off Ying Xiong and charged Thompson with the ball.Thompson moved very quickly, giving Liu Wei a small step to shoot the ball, but not a breakthrough.

Liu Wei made an emergency stop for a jump shot, and the ball hit the frame and went out.Wu Yang at the basket grabbed a rebound and fouled.

In the next two rounds, neither side scored a goal, but each received a foul.The game lasted for more than 2 minutes, neither side scored, and the game became very dull.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, and Liu Wei stuck to the defense.After several rounds of Liu Wei's pressing defense, Ying Xiong has gradually adapted to this defensive intensity, and his dribbling is no longer stiff and forced, and he is obviously much more comfortable.Although he is now 201cm tall, when he was in Lingchuan Middle School, he was only 165cm tall.He can lead the team to sweep everything in the county, and his super ball handling ability has helped him a lot.The increase in height has indeed made the center of gravity higher, and I can't easily drill around in the crowd like before.However, with the height and wingspan, the range of dribbling can become larger, and the pace of breakthrough can also become larger.In the past, it was necessary to change the direction several times, but now it can be simplified. Using the amplitude and stride of shaking and changing directions, the goal of surpassing others can also be achieved.

Facing Liu Wei's close defense, Ying Xiong pulled the ball in a different direction and then dribbled behind his back. With a change of rhythm, he passed Liu Wei smoothly, strode his long legs, and rushed to the inside.

Wu Yang came to help defend, Ying Xiong took advantage of the situation and turned around, passed the opponent, and started to attack the frame.Gerald Ward jumped up to block the shot, but Yingxiong made a clever underarm pass to Thompson near the basket.After Thompson got the ball, there was no defense, and he dunked violently with both hands!

Thompson also yelled after dunking, adding some vitality to the previously dull game.With his slam dunk, the Guangsha team also scored the first 2 points of the game.

Liu Wei was a little annoyed that he was passed by Ying Xiong just now, and the opponent scored first.He came over with the dribble, and with Jerrod Ward's pick-and-roll in the high post, forced his way inside, causing a foul by Li Meng.

Liu Wei made two free throws and the score was tied.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, and Liu Wei still defended like before, sticking to the defense + harassing.But at this moment, Ying Xiong has gradually adapted to his defensive style.

Ying Xiong slowly dribbled the ball over, and after distributing it to Zhang Nan, he made an off-ball screen for Yu Junkai.Yu Junkai came out to receive Zhang Nan's point and got an open 3-point opportunity. How can the "3-point king" miss this good opportunity and make a steady shot!

5:2，广厦队领先3分，遇俊锴的这记3分球也是全场比赛的第一个3分。

Liu Wei dribbled over, and with the help of a screen, he broke through to Luo Xudong from the outside.Luo Xudong made a fake shot, rushed inside and made a hard layup, but was blocked by Li Meng.The ball was caught by Wu Yang, and just about to shoot, the ball was knocked down by Ying Xiong.Before Wu Yang could react, Ying Xiong had already counterattacked with the ball.

Ying Xiong's advancing speed was very fast. Although Liu Wei and Luo Xudong returned to defense quickly, it still caused a situation where more frontcourt players played less.

Ying Xiong rode Juechen, and Liu Wei, who jumped and dropped the ball near the basket, faced Luo Xudong, who was defending under the basket, directly facing the opponent, and dunked the ball fiercely alone!

Because Luo Xudong's physical condition was far inferior to Yingxiong's, he couldn't stop him, was knocked away, and was whistled for a defensive foul.Luo Xudong, who was whistled for a foul, was very dissatisfied and kept emphasizing that it was Ying Xiong's offensive foul.However, the referee ignored him and insisted on maintaining the original penalty.

At this time, a timeout was entered on the sidelines. It turned out that the coach of the Shanghai team, "Little Zhuge" Li Qiuping, requested a timeout.The score at this time was 7:2, the Guangsha team led by 5 points, and Ying Xiong had an additional penalty.

Li Qiuping was very dissatisfied with the team's delay in scoring sports goals on the offensive end.The audience was also very disappointed to see the home team being beaten by the opponent, and their enthusiasm at the beginning was also reduced a lot.

Back from the timeout, Ying Xiong continued to execute free throws.I don't know if it was because he added some water during the timeout, but his extra penalty missed.The rebound was taken by Jerrod Ward, a foreign aid of the Shanghai team, and handed over to Liu Wei to advance.

Here Luo Xudong played an off-ball screen, received Liu Wei's second pass and scored 2 points from mid-range!
Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, handed it over to Thompson in the high position, and suddenly made an air cut to cover for Zhang Nan.Zhang Nan ran out of space, received a pass from Thompson, made a fake shot and was fouled by Wu Yang.

Wu Yang committed 2 and was replaced by Jia Xiaozhong.

Ying Xiong sent a throw-in to Zhang Nan who came to meet him.After Zhang Nan got the ball, he passed it to Yu Junkai, who took the ball and forced Luo Xudong.Luo Xudong's defense was very tough, and he kept blocking Yu Junkai's breakthrough route, causing the latter to dribble the ball.

Here, Jia Xiaozhong missed a mid-range shot, and Li Meng took the rebound and handed it over to Yu Junkai to advance.Yu Junkai played a pick-and-roll with Li Meng in the high position and gave it to Li Meng, who was going down.

Li Qiuping, the coach of the Shanghai team, was on the sidelines, not saying a word, with an ugly expression on his face.The team's interior problems have been particularly pronounced this season.Jerrod Ward was unable to support the team whether it was protecting the frame or rebounding.And domestic inside players do not have enough strength to provide enough help to the team on both offensive and defensive ends.

Li Meng missed the first free throw and made the second free throw after adjusting his breathing. 8:4, the Guangsha team led by 4 points.

Liu Wei dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Jerrod Ward in the low post.Jerrod Ward hit Thompson with his back, found that he couldn't stand, and returned the ball to Liu Wei on the outside.Liu Wei suddenly points to Xu Yong from the outside line. The latter catches the ball and shoots, and hits the board!

The point difference was narrowed to 2 points, and the coach Wang Fei requested a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Ying Xiong held the ball to a high position.He and Li Meng made a pick-and-roll cooperation, forced to kill the inside line, and was fouled by Jia Xiaozhong in advance.

The number of fouls by the Shanghai team has reached, and Ying Xiong walked to the free throw line.This time he seized the opportunity and successfully made two free throws, and the Guangsha team's scoring also reached double digits.Xu Yong of the Shanghai team made another mid-range shot, while Zhang Nan of the Guangsha team immediately responded with a mid-range shot.

At 12:8, the Guangsha team still led by 4 points, and at this time the first quarter of the game was already halfway through, and the scores of both sides were not high, which showed that the offensive success rate was low.According to the rotation arrangement of the first two games, Yingxiong should be replaced at this time to rest.But coach Wang Fei didn't do that, and kept Ying Xiong on the court.
