Chapter 467: Fight the Jinxi Team Again
As a new round of cold air swept through Wulin City, the temperature plummeted that night, and a light rain began to fall in the sky.
The weather forecast says there may be light snow in the evening.
However, the cold air did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans.
The Guangxia Gymnasium that night was crowded and full.
On this day, the 29th round of the CBA regular season was held here, and Guangxia played Jinxi at home.
Guangxia has already competed with Jinxi once this season, at the beginning of the season in November, Guangxia defeated Jinxi by a big score away from home.
When it comes to recent games, Guangxia needless to say, has not yet been defeated and has maintained a 27-game winning streak.
Jinxi's recent situation is not very good, and he suffered five consecutive defeats before, but fortunately won the Qingdao team in the previous game, and faced Guangxia, which is now ranked first in the CBA league, with a better mentality.
Speaking of the players of the Jinxi team, there are also some changes from the last time Guangxia played.
For example, last time, Jinxi's new foreign aid Muhammad this season had just joined the CBA, and Muhammad did not play in that game, resulting in a lack of offensive firepower and a big defeat.
Speaking of Muhammad, the player plays as a shooting guard or small forward, and like Li Huan, he is a swingman at the front.
He is 1.98 meters tall and 26 years old.
Mohammed played in the NBA last season, making 43 appearances for the Timberwolves and Bucks, averaging five points and 1.8 rebounds per game.
In his five-year NBA career, Muhammad averaged nine points and 2.8 rebounds per game.
Muhammad's NBA career high single-game scoring point was 35 points in the Timberwolves' victory over the Warriors on April 6, 2016.
The sports media commented on him as a strong scoring wing player with three-point range, excellent break-through ability, and strong finishing ability around the basket, but his shooting was not consistent enough, his athletic shooting ability was not top-notch, and his defensive lateral movement was slow.
In the previous games, Mohammed also showed a strong scoring ability, scoring more than 30 points in many games.
At the same time, on November 29 last year, Jinxi signed another foreign player, Brown.
Brown is also an NBA player who plays point guard with the Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Houston Rockets, as well as the CBA for the Deep City team.
Joining the Jinxi team this time is equivalent to Jinxi having two small foreign aids, namely the No. 1 position and the No. 3 position.
The scoring ability of the two small foreign players is good, but Jinxi's recent record is not good, mainly because the run-in is not enough, coupled with the fact that Jinxi's local players are not strong enough to score, the loss is not surprising.
As the time of the game approached, the players from both sides began to enter, and the stadium burst into cheers.
This is Guangxia's home stadium, and the fans who come the most are Li Huan's fans, so the people who call Li Huan's name or nickname when cheering are the most, so that the players in Jinxi have to sigh Li Huan's super popularity, which is more than a little stronger than the first meeting between the two teams.
After the warm-up of the players, the managers of both sides began to set up.
The starters sent by Guangxia head coach Li Chunjiang were Li Huan, Fortson, Lin Zijie, Su Ruoyu and Hu Jinqiu.
Jinxi head coach Wang Fei sent Ge Chaobao, Zhang Zelong, Ren Junwei, Liu Guancheng and Muhammad.
In terms of height, this lineup has a big advantage for the Jinxi team.
Wang Fei's choice of such a starter may also be to limit the Guangxia team in defense, after all, the Guangxia team's offense is too sharp.
The jump ball is very interesting, and the Jinxi team asked Mohammed to jump the ball with Su Ruoyu of the Guangxia team.
Su Ruoyu has an advantage in height, but he is not superior in jumping, and his height is short in the center, so he is actually about the same.
After the jump ball started, Mohammed and Su Ruoyu dialed the ball almost at the same time, and the ball was dialed into the hands of Ren Junwei, a player of the Jinxi team.
The Jinxi team did not have a point guard at the beginning, and Muhammad took on the heavy responsibility of holding the ball, and after Ren Junwei handed the ball to him, Li Huan also tended to let Mohammed go.
Before Mohammed came to play in the CBA, he heard that Huaxia had a super good basketball lover Li Huan, Jordan, James and Kobe were very optimistic, and when he came here to play CBA, he heard the players' respect for Li Huan, calling the other party the first master of the CBA.
There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts.
Who wins and who loses on the basketball court will only know after playing.
In this game, Mohammed wanted to compete with Li Huan in person to see how strong Li Huan, who was known as the Huaxia Flying Man and Xiao Li Flying Knife, was.
When dribbling, Muhammad said in English to prevent me, see if you can prevent it, Li Huan is now under Qin Ruoshi's teaching, his English is much better than before, and he can naturally understand it, so he immediately smiled and did not reply.
Before playing, Li Huan already knew that if there was no accident today, the player against him should be Mohammed.
He also got to know the player as well.
The opponent is 6 cm taller than him, but the bounce speed and pitching ability are not as strong as him, especially the ability to control the ball, which cannot be compared with him.
The best response is not lip service, but actual action.
Li Huan's gentleness made Muhammad think that Li Huan didn't dare to fight or didn't understand, he shook his head, and suddenly shook his right shoulder and made a feint to break to the left, but unfortunately Li Huan was not fooled, and after he did the feint in vain, he said that it was too late and that it was fast, he took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness, and suddenly reached out and fished the ball over.
The speed, the grasp of the timing, was simply amazing, and before Mohammed knew what was going on, the ball was already lost, and Li Huan rushed to his front.
Mohammed had no choice but to quickly reach out to pull Li Huan, but unfortunately he didn't pull it, and at this time, the referee's whistle sounded and blew Mohammed for a foul.
In fact, this kind of foul is easy to be blown off, especially since Li Huan has passed, and pulling people from behind is a very dangerous action.
Fortson served on the sideline, Li Huan broke through after receiving the ball, and it was naturally Mohammed who defended him.
And Ren Junwei of the Jinxi team also came up to attack Li Huan at this time.
Li Huan is now the key defensive player of each team, seeing that the opponent is sandwiched, Lin Zijie is empty, and he immediately passes the ball back to Lin Zijie.
Lin Zijie burst to the basket from the left side to attract the defense of the Jinxi team, while Li Huan suddenly turned back and accelerated outside to avoid Mohammed's closeness, and quickly ran to the basket.
Seeing this, Lin Zijie threw the ball high.
At this time, Li Huan's super bouncing ability suddenly came to the fore.
Everyone saw Li Huan soar up, catch the basketball in the air with both hands, and smash it into the basket.
With a bang, the basketball was smashed into the basket by Li Huan with both hands, and the entire basketball hoop felt a shaking, and even the electronic display screen vibrated a few times.
And Li Huan hung high on the hoop like a flyer, fluttering in the wind, looking handsome, which caused the audience to burst into warm applause and cheers.
