Nicholas had just scored here, and Zhao Feiyang immediately asked his teammates to pass the ball.
Snapped.
After the basketball fell into his hands, Zhao Feiyang quickly took the ball and sprinted towards the half court.
Nicholas chased after Zhao Feiyang and planned to block his layup. Unfortunately, he overestimated himself. When the two were approaching the basket, Zhao Feiyang directly went up and hit the ball with a dunk. in the basket.
boom.
Zhao Feiyang's dunk made all the fans in the audience scream in surprise.
As time went by, Nicholas gradually fell into a disadvantage in the contest with Zhao Feiyang. Seeing this situation, the Jinling Tongxi team quickly shifted their firepower and attack point, allowing Nicholas to delay Zhao Feiyang and at the same time give the ball to the inside. Stevens hands.
Stevens' ability as a center foreign aid is naturally not bad. There must be a gap between young people like Ren Wenjie and him. Therefore, he constantly seizes opportunities to improve the score.
The two teams have thus formed a unique tacit understanding. One side relies on outside offense, and the other side relies on inside offense.
However, the weak internal defense still hindered Zhao Feiyang and the Bayi team. By the end of the first quarter, the score was 27-30, with the Bayi team trailing the Jinling team by 3 points.
The points are almost the same, but there are already problems with the scoring ratio of the two teams.
For the Jinling team, foreign aid Stevens scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, and outside player Nicholas scored 9 points and 2 assists. The other players performed generally and did not show any advantage in scoring.
As for the Bayi team, Zhao Feiyang’s scoring alone supported the entire team. He played the entire first quarter and posted 20 points, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block.
It can almost be said that without him, the Bayi team's offensive firepower would definitely not be able to produce.
Break time.
On the field, the cheerleading girls twisted their bodies wildly and performed hot dances. Off the field, the head coach Wang Zhizhi of the Bayi Team was still arranging tactics on the bench.
He picked up the tactical board and called the players together, focusing on explaining to them the team's internal problems.
"They are very likely to continue to let Stevens score inside in the next quarter. We must adjust our defensive strategy. We can't do this anymore..."
"Wait a minute for Xu Xiao and Ren Wenjie to double-team. Tang Shengsong on the wing should pay more attention to the situation inside. If the opponent wants to play or needs rebounds to pop up, just go in... At worst, let them go at the third position. beat......"
"Remember, don't be afraid of their local players scoring, and don't give their foreign players a chance to shoot... The outside problem is not big, the main problem is Stevens inside..."
call out.
Soon the second quarter begins.
The lineups of both sides continue to appear.
After the game started, sure enough, the opponent continued to use Stevens inside to attack the Bayi team's basket. Only this time, the Bayi team was on guard, forcing the Jinling team to transfer the ball away.
Nicholas is also very cunning on the outside. Although he is always by Zhao Feiyang's side, he always slips away with the help of his teammates' pick-and-rolls from time to time, and runs into an open space to catch the ball from time to time.
It's not that Zhao Feiyang can't guard against him, it's because he needs to be distracted elsewhere, so he can't focus all his energy on him.
However, as Nicholas secretly seized the opportunity to throw in a three-pointer, Zhao Feiyang finally stopped distracting his mind.
Jinling team attacks.
This time, Nicholas held the ball for half-time. After scoring a three-pointer, Nicholas' mentality gradually became erratic. It seemed to him that Zhao Feiyang was nothing more than that, so after half-time, he took the initiative to follow Zhao Feiyang. A one-on-one contest.
The two met each other. Nicholas had just dribbled and was about to shake. Unexpectedly, Zhao Feiyang slapped his dribble away in the next second.
The basketball rolled out.
Both of them rushed to snatch it at the same time.
It was Zhao Feiyang who won the ball first. When he got the ball, he faced Nicholas' crazy pressing defense. Zhao Feiyang was not in a hurry. He suddenly turned around in front of Nicholas and threw the former away. Then Zhao Feiyang dribbled the ball towards him. Sprint past the basket.
boom.
A one-handed chop immediately lifted the atmosphere.
After entering the second quarter, Zhao Feiyang increased the number of singles. In order for the team to have a score lead at the end of the first half, Zhao Feiyang continued to shoot three-pointers to increase the number of breakthroughs.
In order to restrict him, the Jinling team also gradually adopted double-teaming measures on the outside, allowing Nicholas and another local main player to focus on marking Zhao Feiyang. Although such marking failed to restrict Zhao Feiyang, it made his shooting percentage slightly improved. decline.
So, after a fierce battle between the two sides, at the end of the first half, the score was 64 to 55.
Zhao Feiyang relied on his strong scoring to help the Bayi team open the score to 9 points.
Beep.
The sound of the end of the first half sounded.
The cheerleading dance performance continued, while the fans at the scene were caught up in nervous anticipation. The same is true off the court. No one knows whether the two teams will really replace foreign players and only let local players play after halftime.
For a time, speculation about this matter continued to ferment on the Internet.
Some people even wanted to ask Ye Tao of the Aite Jinling team if the two teams had discussed this matter! However, Ye Tao did not make any reply.
So someone called Tang Shengsong and wanted to ask him whether the Bayi team had made a decision. Even though Tang Shengsong, who was sitting in the locker room, saw the news, he did not dare to respond online.
The team's strategy is to replace Zhao Feiyang. Although Zhao Feiyang is not a foreign aid, the opponent will definitely not let Zhao Feiyang play. In that case, the Jinling team will never have any chance of winning, so they can only treat Zhao Feiyang as a foreign aid. Come and see.
"Everyone have a good rest."
"We must fight with all our strength in the second half...If they don't send foreign aid, we will use our original team to play..."
"I believe in you. After so many games, at least I think your performance on the offensive end is impeccable. You don't have to be afraid of any team in the league... It's just that the defensive end needs to be strengthened... "
"Of course it's absolutely fine to play against their local lineup!"
Team head coach Wang Zhizhi said.
At the same time, in the CCTV Sports live broadcast room, host Yu Jia and special guest Battelle were also discussing this matter.
"Judging from the intensity of the first half of the game between the two sides, maybe they will do what they did in the online betting..."
"The Bayi team is now 9 points ahead. This is an advantage. If the Jinling team sends a local lineup to play, these 9 points will not be so easy to surpass..."
"The second half begins with less than a few minutes left! Let us focus all our attention on the next game... The moment to witness history is about to be revealed..."
