After the opponent's foreign aid scored, the China Men's Basketball Team also responded quickly.
Xin Yong, who was responsible for controlling the ball, immediately asked his teammates to pass the ball. As he advanced with the ball, he saw the opportunity and rushed to the half-court. At this time, the opponent came up to mark. In order not to lose the ball, Xin Yong distributed the ball to Xu Haoran on the wing.
Xu Haoran took the ball and broke through to the basket. His ball control ability was pretty good, and he dribbled the ball all the way into the penalty area.
He was about to throw the basketball, but unexpectedly, the opponent's power forward Haggis suddenly came up to defend. The two faced each other. Xu Haoran tried his best to throw the ball, but he still couldn't avoid the opponent's hand. Interception action.
Snapped.
Haggis slapped Xu Haoran's shot away.
The basketball rolled out.
The Filipino player was the first to seize the ball, but when it was passed to Jamil, Ding Yanyuhang, who was on the wing, had quick eyesight and quick hands. He pounced and intercepted the opponent's pass with a slap.
After getting the ball, Ding Yanyuhang sprinted towards the half court with the ball.
He dribbled the ball all the way into the opponent's two zones. When he was approaching the basket, he planned to transfer the ball to other teammates and score the offense by cooperating with the screen.
Unexpectedly, Ding Yanyuhang turned around and found that none of the other players ran in in time, and they were all running slowly behind him.
Helpless, Ding Yanyuhang could only forcefully throw the ball.
boom.
The basketball hit the side of the backboard and bounced out of bounds.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded and the ball fell into the opponent's hands.
There was an uproar.
Not only the fans did not understand such a ball, but Zhao Feiyang, a professional player, was even more surprised.
He really didn't understand why his teammates didn't react.
"Holy crap! What are you doing?"
"Follow up! This is actual combat, why are there no people to cooperate with the cover?"
The same was true for Ding Yanyuhang on the field. He originally planned to complain to Xin Yong and others, but when he walked in front of Xin Yong and others, they were collectively ignored by Xin Yong and others.
They didn't even look at what Ding Yanyuhang said. They walked straight to their positions and prepared to defend.
The Philippine team serves.
The opponent gave the ball to defender Jamil, who played singles with the ball and kept signaling for his teammates to cover. The other Filipino players started running decisively, and soon they seized the holes that appeared on the flanks.
Jamil suddenly dribbled the ball toward the right side and rushed into the basket. His pace was very fast, and he turned and jumped to the penalty area.
When the players of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team came up to defend, Jameel deliberately passed the ball towards Haggis on the other side. In fact, he had the ball firmly in his hands and only threw it when it reached the basket.
Snapped.
The basketball hit the backboard and fell into the basket.
From this moment on, the point difference between the Philippine men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team continued to narrow. It only took 4 minutes for them to successfully overtake the China Men's Basketball Team.
Xin Yong and others continued their previous tactics and used more running methods on the offensive end to create opportunities. However, the opponent's defense has improved by more than one level, which greatly weakens their offensive capabilities.
On the defensive end, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team was even more difficult to stop against the opponent's two foreign players.
The defensive attitude of Xin Yong, Xu Haoran and others is indeed very active, but their strength does not allow it. Especially Xin Yong, who was frequently beaten when he was marking the opponent's defender Jamil, and became the "focus" of the audience for a while.
call out.
A whistle sounded.
The first half of the game came to an end.
The two sides tied 39 to 44.
The Philippine men's basketball team leads by 5 points.
During halftime, everyone entered the locker room.
Xin Yong, Xu Haoran and others sat together and chatted, while Zhao Feiyang gathered with Yi Jianlian and others. The entire team seemed to be divided into three factions.
One group is the new generation of players, one group is the old players of the national team, and the other group is the substitutes who do not have a strong sense of presence.
People from these three factions get along without incident, but it is obvious that veteran players of the national team such as Yi Jianlian are not satisfied with the team's arrangements.
Especially Guo Ailun and Ding Yanyuhang, they are also considered new generation players, and their performance in the league is better than that of Xin Yong and others.
Just because they did not belong to Xin Guotao's camp and had nothing to do with head coach Xu Lei, their playing time was greatly shortened.
Especially in this series of warm-up matches, they who were supposed to be the main players didn't even have much playing time. This is simply a waste of their careers! Naturally, they were not satisfied with these arrangements.
"The first half was okay, but I changed the lineup in the second half..."
"Zhao Feiyang plays the second position, Yi Jianlian plays the fourth position, Guo Ailun plays ball control, Ding Yan Yuhang returns to this lineup and continues to play your third position... Zhou Zhengwei plays the center... ....”
"Now we are behind and we must catch up..."
Zhao Feiyang and others also became happy when they heard that a group of them were going to appear.
In any case, even if you are helping the national team bring out new players, you still have to play when you come here. Otherwise, it would be a bit frustrating to sit on the bench all the time.
Soon, the second half begins.
When the fans in the Wukesong Basketball Arena saw Zhao Feiyang and his team on the court, the entire arena almost burst into excitement. Countless fans shouted and screamed, stood up and cheered for the appearance of Zhao Feiyang and others.
"Holy crap! It's finally here! The wait is finally here!"
"As long as Zhao Feiyang plays, there will be no problem in this game. You don't have to trust the national team, but you must trust Zhao Feiyang..."
"Isn't it good to put this lineup in the starting lineup? Why do we have to let them play as substitutes? Just use the first half to defeat the opponent, and then let Xin Yong and others beat them in the second half?"
Fans are buzzing.
As they watched, the second half officially began.
The Philippine men's basketball team continued to send out a lineup with two foreign aids, but the opponent's core defender Jamil focused on Zhao Feiyang as soon as he came up.
The other player, Haggis, is responsible for guarding Yi Jianlian.
The game continues.
The Chinese men's basketball team attacks.
The person holding the ball was Guo Ailun, and he dribbled the ball toward the half court.
As soon as halftime passed, Zhao Feiyang ran over from the wing to receive the ball. Guo Ailun gave the ball to him. After getting the ball, Zhao Feiyang held the ball directly at the top of the key and waited.
Jamil, the core defender of the Philippine team, came up to cover Zhao Feiyang one-on-one.
The two faced off outside the three-point line.
Compared with Zhao Feiyang's calm look, the opponent's defender Jamil looked a little nervous. The next second, the two faced each other. Zhao Feiyang made two consecutive cross-step dribbles and suddenly swayed from the left to the right. Jamil was not expecting it, and he was shaken away as soon as he stretched out his hand.
After passing Jamil, Zhao Feiyang did not stop, but went all the way into the penalty area.
He pretended to give the ball to Yi Jianlian and made a feint. Seeing this, the opponent's big man Haggis subconsciously stepped back. Zhao Feiyang took the opportunity to raise the basketball and easily score the ball with one hand.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
When the fans saw Zhao Feiyang playing with ease, they immediately applauded.
When Xin Yong, Xu Haoran and others off the field saw this scene, their expressions became even more unpleasant.
