Chapter Seventy-Four: A Strange Start

On August 21, Beijing time, at 5 p.m., the China vs Philippines match is about to begin. taiwanvod.

"The starting line-up of the Philippine team is: Center: Poi? Erlam (Poy E

AM), power forward: Christian? Christian Standhardinger, small forward: Gaber? Gabe Norwood, Quarterback: Stanley? Stanley Pringle, point guard: Jordan? Clarkson. ”

"The starting lineup sent by the Chinese team is center Zhou Qi, power forward Wang Zhelin, small forward Ding Yanyuhang, point guard Liu Zhixuan, and point guard Sun Minghui."

"From the point of view of the strength of the starting paper team, the strength of the players on the Philippine team's guard line is better than that of our Chinese team, of course, that is, the guard line, and the configuration of other positions is more than a step worse than our Chinese team."

"The strongest player in the Philippine team is Jordan from the NBA Cavaliers? Clarkson, he's the backbone of this team. ”

"In addition to Clarkson, the Philippine men's basketball team also includes naturalized player Christian? Standhardinger, this player has a very tough style of play, strong rebounding ability, and has also played in the NCAA. ”

In the Tencent Sports studio, the closing guest teacher Su Qun and the commentator Ke Fan were talking eloquently, carefully analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the lineups of the two teams.

"Toot Toot !!" The game is on.

"Smack!"

Zhou Qi, who is 2.17 meters tall, and Boe, a 2.06-meter-tall Filipino player naturalized from the United States? Erlam jumps the ball.

Although the American naturalized players have some physical advantages in the face of ordinary Asian players, it is not enough to see Zhou Qi, a superman with an arm span who has an all-round advantage in jumping height.

Zhou Qi won the jump ball with his height and arm length, and gave the ball to the point guard Sun Minghui, Sun Minghui advanced quickly, but the Philippine team's retreat speed was not vegetarian, they retreated quickly, Sun Minghui could only slow down, and passed to Ding Yanyuhang on the weak side.

Seeing Ding Yanyuhang get the ball, small forward Gabriel Ruowood quickly pounced, opened his hands and stared at Ding Yanyuhang, he was tall and long-armed, muscular, and very imposing, and no matter how Ding Yanyuhang feints, he just didn't jump, which made Ding Yanyuhang a little depressed, so he could only share the ball and pass it to Zhou Qi outside the three-point line.

Opposite Zhou Qi is the center of the Philippine team, Boe? Erlam, the opposition between the two can be said to be a tall and thin man against a short muscular man, and Zhou Qi has an advantage in speed.

So Zhou Qi didn't hesitate, and directly chose to break through the short man with the ball, in the opposite position of the center, he must beat or even defeat Boe? Erlam.

I saw Zhou Qi shoot a feint, and directly flew the opponent's defense, Zhou Qi dribbled a few steps forward, stepped on the free throw line and took three steps directly, facing the two people under the basket to make up the defense, and directly pushed off Christian with his body during the march? Standhardinger's head-on confrontation.

The ball flew out of his hand calmly, and the Filipino small forward Garbo on the side? Ruwood struggled to jump, but was still a step too late, pounced, and could only watch as the basketball crossed a perfect arc in front of his eyes and flew into the basket.

"Huh!"

The Chinese men's basketball team took the lead.

The Philippine men's basketball team quickly launched a counterattack, their naturalized players are not as skilled and dexterous as the Chinese men's basketball team, but their physical fitness is very good, they are not afraid of confrontation, they mainly attack the inside, look for physical confrontation as soon as they come up, and then seek opportunities to score.

In terms of physical confrontation, except for Wang Zhelin and Zhou Qi, who are slightly better on the Chinese men's basketball team, the others are obviously at a disadvantage.

Wang Zhelin has specially trained his physical strength this summer and has made great progress in physical confrontation, while Sun Minghui's body is also very good.

Zhou Qi's strong physical talent allows him to have a strong defensive range, defensive awareness and technique, fast and flexible feet, ultra-long arm span, and even be able to break through as a single defender.

In these two positions, the Philippines did not take advantage of anything, but fell into the disadvantage, Boi? Erlam was capped by Zhou Qi.

But in the No. 1 position (scoring guard), No. 2 position (point guard), and No. 3 position (small forward Ding Yanyuhang's knee injury has not yet healed and cannot play to his full strength), the Chinese team is stretched.

In the physical confrontation with the opponent, the Chinese team suffered in these three positions, which led to teammates having to go up to help defend, and in this way there must be loopholes, the Philippine team in the core point guard Clarkson under the organization, the transmission of the ball is also very fast, once this kind of loophole, they will see the opportunity to attack, show their fangs.

Therefore, after more than 6 minutes in the first quarter, the score of the two sides suddenly stalemate at 10:9, and the Chinese men's basketball team only led by one point.

This is obviously unacceptable to Coach Li Nan.

You must know that the Chinese men's basketball team has Wang Zhelin, Zhou Qi, Ding Yanyuhang, Liu Zhixuan, and Sun Minghui, such a strong lineup, it should be easy to play the second team in the Philippines, but now it has played half a quarter of the game, but it is only one point ahead.

Moreover, Sun Minghui only relied on free throws to score two points, and Liu Zhixuan did not have a point, which is too unreasonable!

"Toot ......"

Coach Li Nan hurriedly called a timeout and made an adjustment to the lineup on the court, replacing Liu Zhixuan and replacing Fang Shuo, who was more accurate in three points; Replaced Ding Yanyuhang and replaced Abudu Salamu.

Then Li Nan said to a few people solemnly: "You have also seen that the opponent relies on physical fitness to eat us, and there is only such a move." That's our weakness, but it must not be an excuse for our failure, and you have to play a little tougher, even if it is a foul. He is strong, he is strong, and Lao Tzu plays with him!! ”

"Yes." The crowd shouted loudly.

"And." Li Nan stepped forward and patted Abdul Salamu on the shoulder, and said, "Lao Sha, you are actively running, and at the same time, you have to break through more, you and Sun Minghui together, the two of you are sharp enough to break through the opponent's defense." Break through the ball and tear the opponent's defense apart. ”

Abdul Salamu nodded, and Sun Minghui also hummed.

……

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Chinese men's basketball team attacked, Sun Minghui quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and after making a block and demolition with Wang Zhelin, he suddenly accelerated and changed direction, holding the ball and killing under the basket.

Sun Minghui's speed has always been a worry for the Philippine team, so when he broke through, the core player of the Philippines, Clarkson, immediately made up for it and blocked Sun Minghui's forward path.

But at this time, Sun Minghui passed the ball out and gave it to Abdul Salamu on the outside, and he himself quickly ran around the bottom line and came to the familiar left bottom corner outside the three-point line.

Abdul Salamu took the ball and was about to throw, and the Philippine team's small forward jumped male Gabo? Ruwood was really fooled and jumped up subconsciously.

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Abdul Salamu's mouth, and then he withdrew the ball and passed Gabo in one step? Ruwood.

Abdul Salamu's first step was too fast, and his steps were too big, and he was near the free throw line in three or two steps.

At this time, the town guards the basket, Christian? Stander Hardinger and Jordan? Clarkson pounced on Abdul Salamu one after another, and in the face of the menacing defense of the other two, Abdul Salamu did not panic at all, and behaved very sophisticated. He quickly distributed the ball and gave it to Sun Minghui in the bottom corner of the right side.

"Not good!"

"Defend his three-point shot!"

The Philippine team was taken aback, and the scoring guard Stanley? Pringle didn't have time to think about it, and quickly pounced on Sun Minghui in the bottom corner.

only heard a "whoosh", Sun Minghui passed the ball again, a long throw of the ball to the ground, and gave the ball to Zhou Qi near the free throw line, Zhou Qi was completely empty in front of him, without a trace of hesitation, he took the ball and threw it, and drew a gun to shoot.

This is Zhou Qi's best position, and basketball did not disappoint him, obediently got into the basket and rolled up a circle of waves.

"12:9, the Chinese team leads by 3 points!"

Seeing the continuous transmission of the ball by the Chinese team and the performance of not panicking at all when encountering the bag, Coach Li Nan on the sidelines nodded secretly with satisfaction.

But before he could relax, the situation on the field was turbulent again.

Philippine team head coach salt? Guiao also made tactical adjustments, and the Philippine team instantly increased its defensive intensity, and suddenly became extremely fierce in defense, and suddenly contained the breakthrough of Sun Minghui and Abdul Salamu.

In terms of offense, the Philippine guard line suddenly began to convuls, and for a while, the Philippine team played vigorously.

Especially Jordan who came back from the NBA? Clarkson, who played like a fish in water, took advantage of his physical advantage, shot inside and outside, frequently broke through to the paint, forced layups, and constantly made fouls.

At this moment, the original lead of the Chinese men's basketball team was lost in an instant, and the score became 12:13, and the Philippine team overtook by one point.

Coach Li Nan anxiously glanced up at the timer on the sidelines, there were only 35 seconds left in the first quarter, and he hesitated for a while, but finally he gave up and did not call a timeout.

On the field, the ball of the Chinese team, Fang Shuo advanced with the ball, quickly came to the front court, played a block with his teammates, and gave the ball to Zhou Qi on one side.

Zhou Qi toed a little, started quickly, took the first step like lightning, and once again passed the opponent's center in seconds, rushed all the way to the basket under the basket, and hit the board in the air.

"At 14:13, the Chinese team overtook the score again!"

With 15 seconds left in the first quarter, the Philippines possessed the ball.

The Philippine team played very patiently and constantly consumed the time of the last attack.

Three-point line at the top of the arc, Jordan? Clarkson glanced up at the timer, seeing that the time was almost up, he faced Sun Minghui's defense, and suddenly started to directly hold the ball to kill inside, just the moment Sun Minghui retreated, he pulled the ball back with his right hand, and then took a step back to the three-point line, widening the distance between him and Sun Minghui.

The player next to him came up to make up for the defense, but it was too late in time, and this one stepped back, and there was immediately room to shoot.

At this time Jordan? Clarkson calmly made a move.

"Toot ......"

"Huh!"

The whistle blows, the ball goes in, the whistle hits!

The score was 14:16, and the Philippines led by 2 points to end the first quarter.

This result was a bit unexpected, several players of the Chinese team came down from the field in frustration, and everyone's faces looked a little ugly.
