Luke Vichy's two plus one caused the audience to cheer.
Of course, Xu Haoran, who was unable to defend himself, was stunned on the spot, and his expression was extremely different for a moment.
Although like Guo Ailun, he is not very good on the defensive end, at least Guo Ailun has performed well on the offensive end, and he is now stretching his hips on both sides. If he does not see subsequent performance, I am afraid that his starting position will be I couldn't sit down at all.
Uh-huh.
Luke Vichy, who was standing on the free throw line, easily made a free throw.
The ball is back in the hands of the China Men's Basketball Team.
Guo Ailun continued to advance with the ball, and Ryan Babbitt, who was guarding him, directly took marking measures and waited for him to go up to apply pressure as soon as he passed the half court.
Such a move also makes Guo Ailun's offense more difficult.
After halftime, he did not choose to play singles, but transferred the ball away. The basketball was given to teammate Liu Aikun on the wing. Liu Aikun feinted and attacked the basket. Just as he was about to force a shot, he found that the opponent was double-teaming him.
Snapped.
Liu Aikun made a long pass and the basketball fell into the hands of Xu Haoran on the opposite side.
Xu Haoran finally got the ball and was so excited that he almost rushed in. But he calmed down quickly and did not rush in rashly. Instead, he took the ball a little distance to the top of the arc.
When Xu Haoran opened the distance, the foreign aid Luke Vichy who was guarding him was also ready.
The next moment, the two met each other. Xu Haoran swayed twice, changed direction and suddenly drove into the basket from the left.
His dribbling was very rhythmic, but unfortunately he still couldn't get away from Luke Vichy, or in other words, he couldn't successfully open up his position.
When Xu Haoran approached the penalty area, the opponent was still clinging to him, which made Xu Haoran worried.
He finally forced the shot.
Snapped.
Luke Vichy saw the opportunity and made a big shot.
The basketball was slapped and bounced off the backboard.
Fortunately, the big man Li Yue under the basket picked up the rebound. He originally planned to pass the ball to Xu Haoran, but the distance was too close, and Luke Vichy was watching the opponent.
Big man Li Yue could only give the ball to the outside, intending to let Guo Ailun reorganize an attack.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the basketball fell into Guo Ailun's hands, Guo Ailun took advantage of the situation and raised the basketball and threw it for a three-pointer.
Uh-huh.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
The bench of the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team cheered.
The big man Li Yue's assist to Guo Ailun also made Xu Haoran on the side look a little dazed. When everyone ran back, Xu Haoran asked the opponent, "Li Yue, what are you doing? You are from his side and you said Someone on my side?"
"Give him an assist?"
The big man Li Yue was also embarrassed.
"I didn't think too much about it. Didn't it depend on who was around you? I just passed the ball to him and wanted him to reorganize the attack..."
Xu Haoran didn't believe such an excuse at all.
"What's wrong with someone with a special number next to me? Can't pass the ball to me if he's blocked? Damn it, you ungrateful guys..."
Xu Haoran's words also made the big man Li Yue frown, but because he was concerned about the identity of the opponent's head coach's nephew, the big man Li Yue still did not speak to refute.
The game continued, but Xu Haoran's performance became increasingly unsatisfactory.
Not to mention the Huaxia Men's Basketball teammates who were watching the game on the bench, even head coach Xu Lei, who had been standing near the technical stage, frowned many times.
"What are you doing?"
"Xu Haoran, go up and defend yourself! Don't waste your money..."
Coach Xu Lei kept shouting, but unfortunately Xu Haoran ignored him at all.
call out.
Finally, the first half came to an end.
The Chinese men's basketball team played 49-59 with the Lebanese team.
The Huaxia men's basketball team was widened by 10 points.
During the break, the locker room of the Huaxia Men’s Basketball Team was a little dull. Because of the unfavorable situation of the game, head coach Xu Lei was losing his temper. He not only reprimanded the players on the field, but also specifically pointed out Xu Haoran as a model.
"How did you play in the first two quarters? You didn't defend when you should defend, you just stood there and watched... What did you do? What kind of game do you think this is?"
"Xu Haoran doesn't feel good about throwing random shots. When he should pass the ball, he has to play in isolation. After being blocked, he doesn't know how to look for opportunities to adjust himself. He just rushes in like a reckless man. What are you going to do?"
Seeing the head coach Xu Lei scolding him so angrily, Zhao Feiyang felt happy in his heart.
In today's first half of the game, Xu Haoran can be said to be the most unstable factor. His defense against Luke Vichy was a disaster. Not only was he frequently scored by the opponent, he basically didn't perform well on the offensive end.
Except for hitting three two-pointers, the rest of the game was basically blacksmithing.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't matter, but Guo Ailun performed very well in the first half. Although he made a few mistakes that shouldn't have been made, Guo Ailun generally performed very well, especially in singles on the offensive end.
He won't forcefully rush to the basket, but once he seizes the opponent's loophole, he will always find an opportunity to pounce in as soon as possible.
This style of play not only allowed him to successfully assist his teammates, but also successfully restrained the opponent, which played a very important role.
The first two quarters were all played, and Guo Ailun scored a total of 14 points, 6 assists, and 2 steals.
It can be said to be extremely outstanding.
In this comparison, Xu Haoran's performance is as good as that of Guo Ailun.
"Enter Zhao Feiyang in the next section."
"Xu Haoran takes a rest first..."
Head coach Xu Lei said.
As soon as he said these words, Xu Haoran was stunned for a moment. His previously expressionless face finally had an expression, and it was quite exciting.
Xu Lei seemed to sense that Xu Haoran was about to refute, and directly interrupted him, "We don't have much time left. We can only win this game, not lose..."
"Feiyang, I'll leave it to you next..."
Zhao Feiyang nodded towards head coach Xu Lei.
Soon, the second half started.
Xu Haoran looked depressed after being pushed to the bench, and could only look at Guo Ailun and Zhao Feiyang on the court. After Zhao Feiyang came on the stage, the Lebanese team quickly adjusted its strategy and asked foreign aids Ryan Babbitt and Luke Vichy to double-team Zhao Feiyang.
After observing in the previous two quarters, Zhao Feiyang had already gained a sufficient understanding of the two players' abilities.
Therefore, after the opponent double-teamed, Zhao Feiyang deliberately held the ball to attract the opponent, and then continued to assist Guo Ailun, allowing him to seize the gap in the opponent's defense and play singles inside.
Guo Ailun's performance is also quite impressive. Most of the time he can get to the basket smoothly, and he will assist his teammates even if he can't play.
Therefore, with the cooperation of Zhao Feiyang and Guo Ailun, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team quickly recovered the previously lost score.
Not only that, in the last 2 minutes before the end of the game, Zhao Feiyang successfully scored multiple singles against the opponent, directly opening the point difference to 8 points.
In the end, the two sides tied 88 to 80.
The Chinese men's basketball team won the semifinals.
