The game goes on.
Throughout the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Philippine men's basketball team were very fierce in offense and defense.
Unlike the Chinese men's basketball team, which is basically composed of young people, the Philippine men's basketball team has more than just young people.
Their lineup is relatively complex, and most of them are veteran players from local leagues. Their experience in international competitions must exceed that of young people like the China Men's Basketball Team.
Therefore, in the first quarter, the Philippine team continued to adopt various tough defensive measures, which were basically point-to-point man-to-man marking. Such defense did consume more energy. For this reason, the Philippine team almost gave up the offensive initiative.
This resulted in a difficult offense for the Chinese men's basketball team. The young players did not have much to do with the opponent's veteran players, especially in small-action confrontations. The video of Philippine basketball barefoot on the sand has left many people's memories. It's still fresh, but now it's on the floor and it's only going to be even more advantageous.
In this situation, the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the Philippine Men's Basketball Team attacked and defended. Although the Chinese Men's Basketball Team still led at the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides did not open much.
16 to 13.
The Huaxia Men's Basketball Team only leads by 3 points.
Break time.
Head coach Su Mingtao comforted the players while explaining the problems on the field to them.
After he finished speaking, Zhao Feiyang on the side also said hello to him, "Coach, do you want me to come?"
Su Mingtao shook his head.
"No, you should rest for a while longer!"
Other players also heard their conversation. The players who originally didn't care about the outcome of the game and thought they would definitely win with Zhao Feiyang here were also a little shocked.
"What? Why don't you let Brother Feiyang come in?"
"No way! These guys from the Philippines are not weak! Their veteran moves are so many that I almost thought I was playing violent basketball..."
"The guy on No. 9 is the one with the most tricks. If Mader dares to push me again, I will kill him directly..."
The players were buzzing.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded, the break ended, and both sides took the stage again.
After seeing that the Chinese men's basketball team still did not replace Zhao Feiyang, the head coach Leif of the Philippine men's basketball team was somewhat surprised.
"Zalman, they are really tolerant!"
"But we can't wait any longer... Go ahead! Show them some color and let these guys know your strength..."
After the words fell, the player known as Zalman stood up with excitement.
"Coach Leif, wait and see!"
"Except for that guy, no one in this Chinese men's basketball team will be my opponent...I will beat them..."
Zalman followed the rest of the players onto the field.
The adjustments made by the Philippine men's basketball team to the lineup also surprised the fans at the scene, especially the host and interpreter in charge of the broadcast. They couldn't help but get excited when they saw Zalman, a heavyweight player of the Philippine men's basketball team, on the stage.
"coming!"
"The Philippine men's basketball team finally can't wait any longer!"
"Zalman must be a threat to the Chinese men's basketball team... It seems that he is not very good in the video highlights, but his mid-range shot is really stable, and he is also very good on the defensive end. Excellent, he was also selected into the first-team defensive roster of the European League..."
"This guy is definitely an opponent worthy of the Chinese men's basketball team's attention..."
call out.
The second quarter begins.
The Chinese men's basketball team serves.
The person holding the ball is Zhang Hao.
As the team's starting number one, he was not replaced by head coach Su Mingtao. In the first quarter, he took turns with the substitute defender. Judging from the performance of the two, Zhang Hao's ball control was relatively stable.
As long as he doesn't play alone, he is indeed the team's first choice at the No. 1 position.
Snapped.
His teammates gave the ball to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao took the ball and pushed toward the half court. As soon as he started to move, the new Zalman came to him.
There is not much difference in height and weight between the two. Zhang Hao is slightly shorter and thinner.
Zalman took the initiative to look for contact opportunities. As soon as Zhang Hao passed half-court, he immediately approached and forced the defense. Not only did he engage in physical confrontation with Zhang Hao, but he also kept extending his hand to interfere with Zhang Hao's dribbling.
Zhang Hao initially planned to face him head-on, but as soon as Zalman's defensive intensity increased, Zhang Hao understood what level of opponent this was.
"run!"
In order not to be intercepted by the opponent, he immediately shouted to his teammates and prepared to transfer the ball.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Zalman suddenly slapped the basketball in his hand from the right side. The basketball rolled directly out and was about to fly out of bounds amidst the exclamations of the fans in the audience.
Because it was the basketball that Zalman touched, Zhang Hao did not choose to take the ball back. Instead, he deliberately blocked Zalman's path and planned to wait for the basketball to slip out on its own.
Unexpectedly, his little move was seen by Zalman. Zalman had quick eyes and quick hands. Before the basketball went out of bounds, he suddenly stepped in front of Zhang Hao and flew to pick up the basketball that was about to fall.
Instead of throwing the ball back onto the court, he made an extremely provocative move.
Snapped.
Zalman hit the ball hard and directly hit Zhang Hao's leg.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded and the basketball rolled out of bounds.
The ball is in the hands of the Philippine men's basketball team.
There was an uproar.
Zhang Hao looked unhappy with the behavior of smashing his legs. After the referee's whistle sounded, he still refused to give up. He walked up to Zalman and glared at him, and even deliberately bumped him with his body.
Zalman was not timid at all. His face was filled with cold arrogance and disdain, and he looked at Zhang Hao with a condescending attitude.
Not only did he push him deliberately, but he also made a provocative gesture of wagging his finger at him.
"You can not!"
"You are not worthy to be my opponent!"
Zalman said to Zhang Hao in broken Chinese.
When had Zhang Hao heard such almost insulting words? Now when he was provoked by the opponent, he was so angry that he clenched his fists and was about to fight. Fortunately, his teammates arrived in time and pulled Zhang Hao away.
The referee also reacted very quickly, pulling the two people apart and giving them a serious warning respectively.
There were exclamations outside the stadium, and many angry fans also chose to taunt Zalman with boos. It's just that Zalman seemed "stronger" than they thought. Not only did he not care about the boos at the scene, but he also imitated Allen Iverson's classic move and put his right hand to his ear to listen.
"Damn it! This guy is so arrogant!"
"What are you doing? Young people like the Chinese Men's Basketball Team can't even handle this guy, right?"
"Don't be a coward! Go up and fuck him! If you lose in the game, you lose, but you must not lose in the fight... This is on our territory..."
"Where's Zhao Feiyang? Mader sent Zhao Feiyang up to fuck him... This bastard made me furious..."
