The attitude of top management leader Liu Jian and head coach Wang Zhizhi made Zhao Feiyang quite troubled. Although he did not do anything to regret the team, their open attitude made Zhao Feiyang embarrassed to take the initiative to leave.
Team training day.
Zhao Feiyang went to the gym to train as usual. He would set out an hour early every time, and there was often no one else around when he went. But this time, when he arrived at the entrance of the arena, other people in the arena had already gathered to start training.
After such a long period of training, the atmosphere of the Bayi team has also changed, especially the players. They are no longer just dawdling with training, but are extremely active and working hard in the same direction.
Seeing the running team in the arena, Zhao Feiyang couldn't help but feel a trace of reluctance in his heart.
After playing together for so long, they do have feelings for each other.
After all the teammates saw him appear, they all smiled and waved to greet him, and Zhao Feiyang responded one by one. When he came to Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi also said hello to him.
"Why don't you take more rest?"
Wang Zhizhi asked.
"You can rest at any time! I'm just curious, has the team's training time been advanced? Why didn't anyone notify me?"
"You've been practicing extra lately, and you're so tired all day long. I don't want you to break down your body... Moreover, they still have to rely on themselves after you leave... so the coaching staff In total, let them practice early and practice physical fitness and confrontation for an extra hour on the basis of the previous ones..."
"The team cannot always rely on one person. Relying on this tactical system is the long-term solution..."
Zhao Feiyang deeply agreed with Wang Zhizhi's rhetoric.
However, the more the other party acted like this, the more he didn't know what to say.
Soon game day comes again.
The Bayi team went to an away game to challenge the Shanxi team.
The Shanxi team's record this season is mediocre, currently hovering between 11th and 12th. Although there is help from foreign aid, overall it does not pose much of a threat to the Bayi team.
Therefore, this game has been used by head coach Wang Zhizhi for training from the beginning.
With the team's record remaining in second place, Wang Zhizhi communicated with Zhao Feiyang in advance this time and did not let him enter the starting lineup. Instead, he replaced the Bayi team's previous lineup.
call out.
The whistle sounded and players from both sides took the field to jump the ball.
Snapped.
Shanxi team took the lead in getting the ball.
Foreign aid Williams attacked with the ball. Facing the Bayi team with an all-Chinese squad, Williams chose to play singles after halftime. The Bayi team responded to his breakthrough with a zone defense. Unfortunately, the cooperation was not tacit enough and the familiarity was not very good. They still allowed Williams to successfully enter near the free throw line and take off.
Uh-huh.
A solid mid-range shot scored a goal.
It was the Bayi team's turn to counterattack.
Wang Lang was assigned to the second position this time. Hu Yiyang continued his previous style of play. He was responsible for dribbling the ball and organizing the offense. Although his short stature was indeed a problem on the defensive end, fortunately, he had a wide field of vision and was able to shoot mid-range. Extremely stable, his shooting percentage is higher than Wang Lang's, and he even shoots one or two three-pointers from time to time.
It's a pity not to play the No. 1 position in such a state!
Hu Yiyang controlled the ball past half-court, and Wang Lang came up from the wing to respond after reaching the half-court. Bang, Hu Yiyang threw the ball into Wang Lang's hands with a ground pass. Wang Lang attacked with the ball. Tang Shengsong on the flank came up to cover, and immediately ran to the bottom corner after covering.
Wang Lang passed the ball to the bottom corner with a wonderful pass. Tang Shengsong seemed to be about to shoot after receiving the ball, but in fact he immediately transferred the ball after attracting the opponent's defense.
Snapped.
The basketball once again came outside the three-point line. Hu Yiyang raised the basketball and pretended to shoot, but in the next second, it was suddenly given to Wang Lang, who had already rushed into the penalty area.
Wang Lang caught the basketball while running. Taking advantage of the opponent's carelessness, Wang Lang threw the ball onto the backboard.
Snapped.
The basketball hit the board smoothly and fell into the basket.
"nice shot."
Head coach Wang Zhizhi is still very satisfied with the team's style of play. Zhao Feiyang on the side was also very happy, and couldn't help but feel very pleased to see his teammates understanding each other better and better.
However, it was too early for them to be happy.
The cooperation of the Bayi team was indeed smooth, but everything happened in the first quarter. After the first quarter, the Shanxi team quickly made adjustments. They chose to focus on Hu Yiyang, a big defensive colander, and let the foreign aid Williams hold the ball and beat the opponent in isolation.
This type of offense really works.
After being beaten one after another, Hu Yiyang was completely in a passive defensive state in the first half of the second quarter. After being unable to mark Williams, his teammates in other positions also had to take supplementary defensive measures.
A single move affects the whole body.
Soon other defensive weaknesses of the Bayi team were found. In this way, the Bayi team not only failed to make up for its own loopholes, but the opponent also seized the opportunity to hit a 7-0 climax.
Seeing that the score gradually began to open up, with 4 minutes and 30 seconds left in the second quarter, head coach Wang Zhizhi chose to call a timeout.
After the timeout, the team's lineup was also re-adjusted.
"Coach, let me go!"
Zhao Feiyang applied to play, but unfortunately was rejected by Wang Zhizhi.
"no."
"Now you continue to rest, don't rush up... let them fight again..."
Zhao Feiyang also knew Wang Zhizhi's intentions, so he could only watch his teammates continue to play.
After the team's lineup was adjusted, the defensive intensity temporarily improved, but it still failed to reverse the previous situation.
The Shanxi team relied on the singles ability of the two foreign players to continuously bombard the Bayi team's basket and constantly score inside them.
After repeated attacks, the Bayi team gradually fell into collapse, and the team's point difference became wider and wider. Seeing that the gap between the two sides had reached double digits.
Beep.
The sound of the end of the timer sounded, the first half was over, and both sides entered the break.
When leaving the tunnel and returning to the locker room, there were many die-hard fans wearing Zhao Feiyang's jerseys in the stands on both sides of the arena, and these fans shouted loudly.
"Let Zhao Feiyang go up!"
"Let him play!"
"Stop holding on! If you can't beat us, let Zhao Feiyang come up and we can win!"
These hardcore followers of Zhao Feiyang are quite excited.
But as the head coach, Wang Zhizhi just bowed his head and left, seemingly not frightened by such momentum.
Before officially entering the locker room, Zhao Feiyang was also stopped by a strange figure at the door.
"Zhao Feiyang, here."
The other party waved to Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang was a little surprised, but still walked over.
"I'm from the Basketball Association. I'm here to talk to you..."
The other party handed over his business card. When Zhao Feiyang took a look at the other party's name and position, he immediately remembered that the other party was part of the senior leadership of the Basketball Association and had met him at events. Although he does not have the right to speak like Chairman Yao, the other party still has considerable weight in speaking in the Basketball Association.
"How have you been thinking about returning to the NBA recently?"
