call out.
The referee's whistle sounded, and the third quarter between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the Philippine Men's Basketball Team came to an end.
To everyone's surprise, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, which was lagging behind at the end of the first half, not only achieved a comeback, but also scored 73 to 63, directly leading the opponent by 10 points.
Not only that, as the team's strongest ace, Zhao Feiyang completely defeated his opponents in this quarter, scoring 24 points by himself.
Such an explosive performance not only put great pressure on the Philippine men's basketball team, but also terrified the fans at the scene.
Zalman, who had high hopes for the Philippine men's basketball team before, was completely defeated by Zhao Feiyang in this quarter.
He only scored 8 points in the entire quarter, and these 8 points relied on the cover of his teammates.
In addition, Zalman made three major mistakes in the second half of the third quarter, all of which occurred under Zhao Feiyang's restrictions.
"As expected of Zhao Feiyang! With this move, Zalman was pinned down..."
"Zalman is not among the top players in the European leagues. He can only be said to be average... Who did Zhao Feiyang play against in the NBA? Those were players like Curry and Irving... ..”
"With Zhao Feiyang here, it shouldn't be easy to lose... However, the China Men's Basketball Team seems to be returning to the same path of dependence. In the past, we relied too much on Yao Ming. As a result, the team's record after Yao Ming retired. A sharp decline…”
"What if Zhao Feiyang retires in a few years, and none of these young players have made their mark, then I'm afraid the record will only be even worse..."
Fans on the sidelines were talking a lot.
Break time.
The young players of the China Men's Basketball Team were in high spirits. While chatting about the situation in the third quarter, they had various fantasies about the last quarter.
Head coach Su Mingtao also quietly came to Zhao Feiyang at this time, patted him on the shoulder, and then handed him a bottle of sports drink.
"Feiyang, well done!"
"Now the team is leading again... In the last quarter, you should continue to rest and let these young guys play a dozen..."
Zhao Feiyang understood what Su Mingtao meant and nodded immediately.
Su Mingtao also called the other players together and began to arrange the final tactics for them.
"There is still the last quarter left. Now we are 10 points ahead and can definitely beat them..."
"Zhao Feiyang will take a rest first. It's up to you to earn back the face you lost in the rest of the time..."
"Remember, in the past twenty years, your seniors have never lost to an opponent of this strength... Unless you want to be the worst Chinese men's basketball team, otherwise..."
Soon, the break is over.
The final section arrives.
Both sides put on their main lineups. Zalman from the Philippine men's basketball team did not play, and we don't know what happened. In short, he also sat on the bench to rest.
The game continues.
Perhaps because of the lead, the Huaxia men's basketball team finally became more confident after taking the field.
Zhang Hao attacked with the ball. He and his teammates screened in a pick-and-roll. After passing the Filipino players and entering the two zones, Liu Yunwei pretended to step forward but suddenly stepped back. Zhang Hao threw the ball with a high throw. Liu Yunwei jumped up and threw the ball in mid-air. The ball was dunked successfully.
This performance really surprised many fans.
This is also the first dunk collaboration of the young players of the China Men's Basketball Team in this game. Before this, except for Zhao Feiyang who kept dunking, no one else stepped up to perform like this.
There was applause from the outside.
It was the Philippine men's basketball team's turn to fight back.
Without Zalman to organize the offense with the ball, they could only continue to transfer the ball after halftime. After many transfers, the Philippine men's basketball team gave the ball to the big man inside. The opponent turned around and pulled away to take a shot. The ball he threw was interfered by Liu Yunwei and hit the backboard directly.
boom.
The rebound was grabbed by the China Men's Basketball Team.
The ball came to Xin Yong. This time, Xin Yong did not give the ball to Zhang Hao, but dribbled the ball across the half court alone.
After arriving at half court, he rarely stood on the three-point line at a 45-degree angle and raised the basketball to shoot.
Uh-huh.
A crisp three-pointer was scored steadily.
Xin Yong's calm performance made many people stand up and cheer. Even Zhao Feiyang, who rarely applauds and shouts, couldn't help but wave excitedly.
Perhaps it was because the Chinese men's basketball team played so well in the last quarter that the Philippine men's basketball team finally lost its composure.
Zalman, who was replaced, appeared again.
When the head coach of the Philippine men's basketball team Leif decided to make a substitution and Zalman stood up, took off his coat and walked to the court, many fans at the scene became worried.
Some people hope that Zhao Feiyang can play. Even many players on the bench of the China Men's Basketball Team think so. They all immediately set their sights on head coaches Su Mingtao and Zhao Feiyang.
However, Su Mingtao remained indifferent.
He withstood the pressure without reacting.
Zhao Feiyang had already communicated with him a long time ago, but he also said nothing.
"Can it be done without Zhao Feiyang?"
"Zalman is not an easy guy to deal with! There are guys like these who don't even have hair... To be honest, I'm not worried..."
"There's nothing we can do about it! Isn't this obvious? The national team wants to train these young people, otherwise it would be better to just recruit those stars from the beginning..."
There was a lot of chatter on the sidelines.
The game continues on the court.
The Philippine men's basketball team serves, and Zalman continues to take the ball to organize the team's offense.
The person who went up to guard him was Zhang Hao.
After a period of recovery, Zhang Hao's mentality has recovered.
Facing Zalman's attack, he was calmer than before. While biting the opponent and refusing to let go, he did not rush up and reach out to interfere. He just followed the opponent's footsteps and always maintained a defensive state.
Zalman glanced at Zhang Hao and suddenly launched an attack from the left.
Zhang Hao subconsciously followed, but was directly blocked by Zalman's teammates. Only this time, Zalman did not go to the basket through the pick-and-roll, but chose to open up and shoot from outside the three-point line.
boom.
Zalman's three-pointer bounced straight away.
Such a touch made Zalman himself shake his head helplessly.
The rebound was taken away by the China Men's Basketball Team.
This time, the China Men's Basketball Team reacted quickly and quickly reached the half court after passing the ball. Xin Yong and Zhang Hao cooperated with the alley-oop and threw a wonderful pass to the basket. Xin Yong successfully threw the ball into the basket.
The consecutive stable performances made the fans on the sidelines very happy.
Seeing that the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, Zalman of the Philippine men's basketball team also had to change his style of play. He completely chose not to take three-pointers anymore, turning all his shots into mid-range shots and breakthroughs.
Such a change did help the Philippine men's basketball team to survive for a short period of time.
But when the Philippine men's basketball team finally caught up with the Chinese men's basketball team, there were only the last 20 seconds of the game between the two sides.
The score between the two sides was 88 to 84.
The ball is in the hands of the Chinese men's basketball team, which basically means that there is no possibility for the Philippine men's basketball team to turn defeat into victory.
On the field.
At the last moment, Zhang Hao didn't intend to continue playing with the ball, but Zalman still rushed over to mark him.
Zhang Hao also lost his temper and made a gesture to Xin Yong. Xin Yong immediately came up from the flank to help him cover.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Hao dribbled the ball directly into the basket. After experiencing Zalman's pursuit and defense several times, Zhang Hao finally learned how to avoid the opponent's interference this time.
He took the first step before Zalman chased him, and when he was approaching the basket, he lobbed the ball.
Snapped.
The basketball hit the backboard and fell firmly into the basket.
90 to 84.
There are only 4.1 seconds left.
The Philippine men's basketball team sent the ball, but the Chinese men's basketball team stopped guarding and allowed Zalman to dribble the ball across the half court.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Zalman made a super long-range three-pointer at the last moment, and the basketball he threw finally hit the basket and failed to score.
Beep.
The whole game is over.
The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Philippine men's basketball team by 6 points.
Although it is just a warm-up match, the victory in this game is still different for the Chinese men's basketball team.
The loss to the Chinese Taipei team in the last game can be said to be a surprise to many fans. This game can at least save a little face.
After the game, the players of the Philippine men's basketball team also left the field quickly, and the players of the Chinese men's basketball team hugged and celebrated together.
As the team leader, Zhao Feiyang looked very calm and did not show much joy. He just had a brief chat with the team's head coach Su Mingtao and walked into the player tunnel first.
The fans on both sides of the stands still extended their arms to him and cheered.
Zhao Feiyang also responded one by one.
As for the young players who won the game, the fans' reaction was not too enthusiastic. Many fans chose to leave as soon as the game ended, showing no joy at all in celebrating the Chinese men's basketball team winning the warm-up match.
A small number of fans stayed to applaud, but after Zhao Feiyang left, they also chose to leave the arena one after another.
Judging from their performance, it seems that most people are not too happy about such a game.
That night, China's domestic CCTV Sports reported on the game.
Because of the previous loss to the Chinese Taipei team, CCTV Sports received instructions from the above and specially made a short documentary on this game in order to exaggerate the game and win the fans. support in public opinion.
"Zhao Feiyang scored 24 points in just one quarter. His performance is the 'Dinghaishenpin' of the entire Chinese men's basketball team. It can be said that he is the leader of this team..."
"But besides Zhao Feiyang, there are other players on the team who performed well... National team guards Xin Yong and Zhang Hao scored 34 points together, and the team's starting center Liu Yunwei also scored 13 points and 10 rebounds. ..."
"These young people have finally shouldered the burden of the team..."
Although the description of the young players in the short film was full of praise, after the short film was aired, public opinion on the Internet did not change as they hoped.
Not only that, many fans have a clearer view of the situation of the China Men's Basketball Team.
"Without Zhao Feiyang, this team is nothing..."
"Young and hardworking...but they are too young!"
"Without Zhao Feiyang carrying the team, I'm afraid this game would have been lost to the Philippine team before the fourth quarter..."
