Younger Stadium.
This is the Municipal Stadium in the city where the Bayi Team is home, and it is also the home stadium where the Bayi Team plays.
The place was packed today, packed with local fans. Before the start of the game, the home arena was bustling with activity. The team even hired cheerleaders to perform and set up a large electronic screen outside the arena to provide live broadcasts for fans who were unable to squeeze into the arena to buy tickets.
Such a grand occasion is really rare for the Bayi team, and it makes everyone on the Bayi team very excited, especially the leaders of various departments, who came to the VIP room to watch the game in person.
On the side of the court, as the head coach, Wang Zhizhi stood there and sighed while scanning the audience. Zhao Feiyang was beside him, and the two were chatting at this time.
"I haven't seen this scene for many years!"
Wang Zhizhi said to himself, "Since the CBA has introduced foreign players aggressively and those veterans have retired, the Bayi team's record has become worse and worse... Several times, the Bayi team planned to withdraw from the CBA league. Yes, but unfortunately many people were unwilling in the end, so the team was temporarily saved..."
"It's just that I don't know how long it can last like this? If the Bayi team's record stays like this and no more foreign aid is introduced, I'm afraid it will be a matter of time before they withdraw from the CBA..."
"In the past, the Bayi team was invincible in the CBA because at that time, the top players of each team could be chosen by the Bayi team. Later, the rules were changed, and the Bayi team could not introduce foreign players due to special reasons. The team's financial constraints The investment is getting less and less, resulting in no one willing to come here to play..."
Wang Zhizhi's words also made Zhao Feiyang fall into deep thought.
After a while, he responded, "Yes! It is difficult for the Bayi Team to reproduce its original glory in today's era. To put it bluntly, the Bayi Team has fallen behind in the face of today's rules... ..."
"Having foreign aid does not necessarily guarantee a successful championship. Without foreign aid, it will definitely be difficult to win..."
While sighing, Zhao Feiyang changed the topic and became emotional, "But this is exactly why I chose the Bayi team! There are too many teams to choose from in the CBA, but I just like Bayi. Behind the team's "stubbornness" and seemingly stupidity, it is also a kind of persistence related to faith..."
Zhao Feiyang's words wiped away the melancholy on Wang Zhizhi's face, replaced by a rather appreciative look towards Zhao Feiyang.
"It's a pity that you don't belong here, otherwise, I will definitely persuade the Bayi team to sign you until you retire..."
"You can get a lot of money by signing me!"
Zhao Feiyang joked, "Maybe I don't want to play in the NBA anymore. It's possible to return to the CBA and play for a few more years... Then you have to keep your word!"
"I don't have a problem, I'm just afraid that you won't admit it... Don't worry, I'll record it with my phone first, and then I'll play the recording if you don't admit it..."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
The game is about to begin, and both sides are beginning to make final adjustments after warm-up. For the Bayi team, Zhao Feiyang still did not enter the starting lineup. This was something he specifically requested from Wang Zhizhi. The purpose was to see what the Bayi team could do without him!
This is not only a test for the Bayi team, but also a time to observe the Guangdong team's playing style and weaknesses.
On the other side, the Guangdong team also determined its starting lineup.
Yi Jianlian, the first brother in the CBA, naturally plays the fifth position and is responsible for the team's interior defense and rebounding. The fourth position is given to another player Ren Junfei, and the small forward position is taken by Zhou Peng, who is familiar to fans.
The shooting guard position is given to foreign aid Donald, and the No. 1 position is given to newcomer Zhao Rui, who only officially registered with the Guangdong team this year.
After the lineup arrangement was completed, the referee's whistle sounded just in time, and the starting lineups of both sides took to the court.
"Huh? Zhao Feiyang is not in the starting lineup again?"
"What's going on? Wang Zhizhi won't let him start? It shouldn't be possible! With Zhao Feiyang's voice in the team, Wang Zhizhi definitely can't stop him..."
"Then what's going on? Isn't it a joke that guys like Wang Lang want to beat the Guangdong team?"
"Let's watch it first! Maybe it will come later..."
Bayi fans on the sidelines were talking a lot.
the other side.
Yi Jianlian and other Guangdong team's main players were a little confused when they came up. When they noticed that Zhao Feiyang was not in the lineup, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"What's going on? Zhao Feiyang won't fight?"
"It shouldn't be possible! He must want to observe our playing style..."
"In this case, let's torture the rookies on the opposite side and force Zhao Feiyang out directly... He wants to sit there and watch the battle, but we won't let him do it..."
Jump ball from both sides.
Snapped.
Yi Jianlian took the first shot of the basketball and slapped it directly into the hands of his teammates.
The ball was given to Zhao Rui, who held the ball and attacked.
When Wang Lang saw a newcomer like Zhao Rui coming up to start the game, he felt a little competitive for a while.
After all, he is an old man in the league. Although he is not a top player, he still has some skills in the league. Facing a fledgling boy, he naturally will not think that the opponent can pose a threat to him.
The two met each other, and Wang Lang went straight up to snatch the basketball from Zhao Rui's hand without any regard for martial arts.
Although he was still a newcomer, Zhao Rui was quite calm. Faced with Wang Lang's pressing step by step, he chose to keep a distance, and then used his body to resist Wang Lang.
In this way, Zhao Rui successfully brought the ball across the half court. Instead of playing singles by himself, Zhao Rui transferred the ball to the foreign aid Donald on the wing.
Snapped.
After getting the ball, Donald rushed to the basket with the ball, and after a series of swings, he directly passed the defensive player.
Donald successfully rushed into the penalty area. When other Bayi team players rushed to cover up the defense, Donald threw the ball with an alley-oop.
Standing under the basket, Yi Jianlian looked over Ren Wenjie, jumped up, caught the basketball and dunked.
boom.
The ball went in.
Starting with a wave of teamwork and dunks, the Guangdong team's performance stunned the Bayi fans on the sidelines.
"Holy crap! Why is the Guangdong team still so strong?"
"Oh! This is a stretch! I wonder what the Bayi team is doing now? No one in the entire team except Zhao Feiyang can do it! How can we compete for the championship like this? Is it possible for Zhao Feiyang to play from the No. 1 position? Position five?”
"The problem is that it is unrealistic to ask Zhao Feiyang to play from the 1st position to the 5th position! If he has the height and physical talent of LeBron James, it will be no problem, but Zhao Feiyang can only move to the 3rd position at most. He is not tall enough for the fourth position, so how can he compete with those foreign players?"
"Our Bayi team is like a car. The engine is the best in the world, but other parts such as the chassis and gearbox are very average... The most annoying thing is that these guys can use it as parts. None of them really listen to instructions..."
