"You really want to do this?"
"What if I don't give it a try? It's an opportunity to train the team anyway! What if the NBA lockout ends early! It's impossible for the team to slump as soon as I leave, right? It's just a chance to train the team. , so that we can attract more outstanding players next season..."
"That's true. We can't always rely on you alone. You will eventually leave. Improving the team's own strength is indeed the most important thing..."
Before the team started the game, on the bus to the competition venue, Zhao Feiyang talked about this matter with head coach Wang Zhizhi.
After clarifying the interests, Wang Zhizhi decisively agreed with Zhao Feiyang's approach.
In fact, not only him, but others on the team are also looking forward to such an attempt. After everyone arrived in the locker room, they all discussed the matter privately.
"Brother Feiyang, will we really play the second half of tonight's game as stated on the Internet?"
"Yes! Isn't it a little too risky? But that guy is too arrogant! He doesn't take our Bayi team seriously at all..."
"Just fight! Who is afraid of these guys? Even if they dare to be arrogant now and try to put aside the glory of our Bayi team, they can't beat us..."
The teammates were all talking, and Zhao Feiyang was not in a hurry to explain. After everyone calmed down, he slowly said to everyone, "Brothers, we must win this game today! This is not only because we need to win. To stabilize the ranking, it is also because we have to fight for our Bayi team..."
"Just leave it to me in the first half, and I will carry the team... But in the second half, it's all up to you! In the end, you are the future of the Bayi Team..."
Soon it's game time.
When the Bayi team entered the stadium, the fans immediately welcomed them with applause. All the cameramen on site were also in place, each one holding a camera and pointing it at them to take various wild shots.
Perhaps it was because the public opinion on the Internet was too lively that the game attracted a lot of attention. Not only was it very popular at the scene, but the live broadcast outside the field also attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of fans.
CCTV Sports specially broadcast this game. Even the host of the live broadcast room, Mr. Yu Jia, and the temporarily invited guest and former Chinese basketball star Battelle were discussing the match between the two sides.
"I believe fans are very curious now whether the Bayi team and Jinling team will really arrange their lineups for the second half as said on the Internet... If so, obviously this game will be the same as what we have seen in the past. All CBA games are different..."
Teacher Yu Jia said.
Battle also echoed, "If they really play like this, the first half of this game will definitely be very intense... As a player, I objectively believe that the gap between the local lineups of Bayi Team and Jinling Team is not It’s very big. The Jinling team is stronger, but not yet to the point where they can beat the Bayi team..."
"Especially after Dazhi became the coach, he changed the Bayi team's previous playing style...The current Bayi team feels like a European basketball style. This is why the Bayi team can compete with the Jinling team. A point to contend with..."
As a former super striker in the Chinese basketball world, Battle's opinions and comments are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary people. Therefore, his analysis was quickly recognized by fans on the Internet.
While everyone was analyzing, the players from the Jinling Tongxi team also officially appeared.
Of course, the attention they receive when playing at home is different. From the moment they walked out of the players' tunnel, the shouts and cheers never stopped. Perhaps it was because of this rare confrontation that the fans united and stood behind the team, showing hope for the ball. The team can defeat its opponents.
"Team Tongxi will win!"
"We must win! It's okay if they have Zhao Feiyang, but we can't lose if they don't have Zhao Feiyang!"
"We must not lose! Show off the momentum of our fellow Tong Xi..."
Beep.
The on-field timer started sounding, and the exciting moment arrived, as both sides began to arrange their starting lineups.
What makes the fans excited is that both the Bayi team and the Jinling team have fielded their strongest lineups.
The Bayi team is naturally led by Zhao Feiyang, while the Jinling team is led by two foreign players and three main players.
During the handshake session before the official debut, Tang Shengsong once again met Ye Tao, who had mocked him before.
"Hey! Isn't this that person? Why are you so good that you didn't even make the starting lineup?"
Tang Shengsong deliberately mocked.
Not to be outdone, Ye Tao hit back, "What's so great about being the starter of the Bayi team? Boy, don't forget, you can't even be a substitute in our team..."
"Oh, really? Let's see then!"
The two of them each put down their harsh words.
Game start.
Jump ball from both sides.
Snapped.
Jinling team took the lead in getting the ball.
Foreign aid Stevens took advantage of his wingspan to slap the ball into the hands of his teammates, and it was another foreign aid Nicholas who got the ball.
Nicholas held the ball for half the game. Zhao Feiyang rejected Hu Yiyang's offer to defend him and chose to mark Nicholas himself.
Compared with other foreign defenders, Nicholas is not particularly conspicuous among CBA foreign players.
His statistics are not the best, and his scoring record is not particularly exaggerated. However, in fact, his efficiency value has always been very good, especially his scoring performance is very stable, and he is very cautious on both the offensive and defensive ends.
This kind of character also made him not face Zhao Feiyang directly after halftime, but gave his teammates a running signal in advance.
Snapped.
Nicholas transferred the ball away before Zhao Feiyang came up.
This makes Zhao Feiyang no longer able to steal.
The ball continued to shift and was soon given to center Stevens under the basket. Wang Zhizhi was already prepared for the opponent's tactical arrangements. Therefore, as soon as Stevens got the ball, the two Bayi players inside immediately double-teamed him.
Ren Wenjie and another player Xu Xiao rushed forward together, and Stevens's shot space was naturally blocked.
Seeing that he could not seize the opportunity to play singles, Stevens had to transfer the ball.
Snapped.
The basketball is given to Nicholas on the outside.
One second he seemed to be planning to pass the ball, and the next second he took advantage of Zhao Feiyang's unpreparedness to suddenly pull away and shoot a three-pointer.
Uh-huh.
The basketball falls into the basket accurately.
Nicholas, who scored a goal, was also very happy and deliberately smiled evilly at Zhao Feiyang.
Before coming to the CBA to play as a foreign aid, he also went to NBA teams for trial training. Unfortunately, his strength and talent were average, so no NBA team was willing to sign him.
Now being able to challenge Zhao Feiyang successfully in the CBA arena, even if it is just one shot, it is enough to make Nicholas feel very happy!
