In the arena, the match between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the Australian Men's Basketball Team has begun.
After the confrontation in the first quarter, the two sides have entered the second quarter. Compared with the performance at the beginning, after entering the second quarter, the performance of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team became even worse than before.
On the field.
Guo Ailun advanced with the ball and was marked after halftime. He gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang, who kept looking for opportunities on the court.
He dribbled the ball and hit Matthew Dellavedova in singles. The two faced each other, and Zhao Feiyang shook the opponent with a cross step. But when he dribbled the ball into the basket, the Australian men's basketball team's inside line instantly Assemble.
One of the two players attacked from the left, one came from the right to defend, and another one followed up from behind.
This kind of defense really surprised the fans present.
Zhao Feiyang didn't force himself. In this situation, he made a throw in advance and threw the ball against the restriction of three people.
Uh-huh.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
Although the Australian men's basketball team failed to guard Zhao Feiyang, it did not affect their sharp counterattack.
As soon as Zhao Feiyang scored the ball, the Australian men's basketball team immediately made a long pass and threw the ball directly to the half court with a high throw.
When the defenders of the Australian men's basketball team raised the basketball and shot, the defensive players of the Chinese men's basketball team were still several positions behind their opponents.
Such a fast style of play made the Chinese men's basketball team really exhausted.
So in the second half of the second quarter, the Huaxia men's basketball team collectively began to neglect the game. Except for Zhao Feiyang, everyone else's enthusiasm for defense became very weak.
When it is time to defend, he will go up to defend, but once the defense is missed, he will not choose to go up to make up for the defense, but simply let the opponent slip in.
Such a move naturally made the point difference gradually increase, which made Zhao Feiyang, the core of the team, quite unhappy.
call out.
At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 37-50, with the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team trailing by 13 points.
When everyone entered the locker room, Zhao Feiyang also walked in with anger. Seeing that everyone had no feeling about such backwardness, Zhao Feiyang finally felt extremely disappointed.
Soon, the break is over.
The second half begins.
This time, the disappointed Zhao Feiyang decided to wait and see. He took the initiative to express his position to the head coach Xu Lei, "Coach, I am tired and want to rest."
"Okay. After playing the game for so long, you really deserve a rest. Let's go!"
Coach Xu Lei replied.
From this moment on, Zhao Feiyang sat on the bench.
But the Australian men's basketball team did not give up because of this. They still sent a mixed lineup of main players and substitutes onto the court.
call out.
Australian men's basketball offense.
Matthew Dellavedova held the ball, and after halftime, he cooperated with Andrew Bogut. The latter mentioned the high post to help him cover, and Matthew Dellavedova entered the basket.
The China Men's Basketball Team had to take defensive measures, but as soon as it came up, Matthew Dellavedova threw the ball away with a high throw.
boom.
Andrew Bogut jumped up in mid-air to catch the ball and dunk.
It was the turn of the Chinese men's basketball team to fight back.
The person holding the ball was Guo Ailun. After halftime, he scored two points from the wing under the cover of his teammates. As soon as he entered, the inside line of the Australian men's basketball team immediately closed the door and double-teamed him. Guo Ailun was afraid of being blocked and did not dare to force the shot. He gave the ball away at the critical moment.
Ding Yanyuhang, who was standing in the bottom corner, successfully received the basketball. He pretended to take a three-point shot, raised the basketball and feinted a shot at the same time, shaking away the Australian men's basketball defensive player who rushed towards him.
But then he stopped for a jump shot in two zones, but the basketball failed to score. After it bounced out of the basket, the rebound was taken away by the opponent again.
There were no rebounds, no offense, and there were constant problems on the defensive end. The performance of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team almost plummeted compared to the first quarter.
Zhao Feiyang was helpless sitting on the sidelines. He kept looking at the various problems that occurred on the court. He wanted to stand up and shout to his teammates several times. Unfortunately, everyone seemed to be indifferent to winning or losing the game. Therefore, except for Guo Ailun and Ding Yanyuhang, everyone Fortunately for those who take the game seriously, other players choose to let nature take its course.
Head coach Xu Lei didn't have any extra thoughts. He sat on the team bench calmly and showed no anxiety at all because of falling behind.
The game went on like this. Before the game was over, Zhao Feiyang left the field during the break in the third quarter, citing discomfort in his legs and feet.
The players certainly noticed something was wrong with him, but most didn't change anything.
After leaving the scene, Zhao Feiyang also took a few deep breaths. This time the Asian Cup qualifiers have officially ended. Although they failed to win the championship, they still finished second.
The ticket was successfully obtained, which is relatively successful for the China Men's Basketball Team.
Zhao Feiyang had nothing to say after completing his mission. He just hoped to take a quiet rest and take a few days off to release his suppressed and tired emotions.
Not long after, the game in the arena finally ended.
The Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team scored 61 to 87. The 26-point gap made the Australian men's basketball team the winner this time.
In fact, even if it was 26 points, it was because the Australian men's basketball team sent substitutes to play casually in the final stage. If they really wanted to open up the score, I'm afraid the gap would be more than 26 points.
The team won, and everyone in the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team was relatively happy. After a while of relief, everyone returned to the locker room to end the Asian Cup qualifying campaign.
The Chinese men's basketball team spent two days in Beirut for repairs, and then everyone flew back to China.
As a great contributor to the team, Zhao Feiyang met countless fans who came to pick him up after getting off the plane. For Zhao Feiyang's performance, these fans also gave the greatest recognition with applause and cheers.
Zhao Feiyang waved to the fans and left the airport intending to go back and have a good rest.
However, before he got home, his agent David Stock sent him the latest news about the NBA next season.
Among them, the trade news about the Minnesota Timberwolves undoubtedly concerned him the most.
"What? Dwight Howard expressed his willingness to join the Timberwolves?"
"Is this guy sure? What conditions did the Timberwolves offer? Is it possible that all the resources available to the entire team were given to him?"
Zhao Feiyang was a little surprised.
"In order to sign him, the Timberwolves offered him a price of US$78 million over three years. This is the limit that the Timberwolves can offer..."
"However, Zhao, these are not the most important... In fact, the most important thing is that Dwight Howard expressed an idea to the team, that is, he wants to replace you as the Timberwolves' leader. The only leader….”
