Chapter 603: Victory in the first battle

Last season, Fortson's outside scoring was still okay, but this season's three-point decline was great, plus Li Huan was born out of nowhere, and there were Lin Zijie, Li Jinlong, Liu Zhen, Zhao Yanhao and other three-point players inside, so his shots were not much, and of course the shooting rate was not high.

However, Fortson is also one of those who can score in key moments.

At this time, the three-point throw made the Xinjiang provincial team feel a little helpless.

If you want to prevent Li Huan, you have to invest a lot of energy, which will inevitably cause other players on the other side to shoot calmly, and this is an example.

With both sides failing to win a round, the Xinjiang provincial team got one last chance to attack.

If they can get their hands on it, then the margin can be reduced to single digits.

Because there was not much time, only a dozen seconds, the Xinjiang Provincial Team handed over the opportunity to Dawai Stokes, which was a relatively stable point.

However, no one expected that Stokes' defense in the face of Borosis was not covered by the opponent's center, but Li Huan, who flew up from the diagonal stab, pushed the ball sideways.

Such a hot pot is like a divine soldier falling from the sky, which makes people feel extraordinarily happy, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause, this ball is covered too beautifully.

The Xinjiang Provincial team's possession, but the remaining time is only 1.5 seconds, which means that you have to throw the ball when you catch it, otherwise it will be too late.

At this time, Guangxia's defense is particularly important, everyone adopts a man-to-man defense, and the two sides are interspersed, making it very tense.

Felder's intention to serve was recognized by Li Huan, who jumped directly in the air to intercept the beard, and then threw it directly to the basket in the front court, so far away, the basketball seemed to have flown over a long century.

only heard a bang, the basketball popped out of the frame, and it almost entered, so that the audience on the sidelines couldn't help but admire Li Huan's crosshairs, so casually, almost the ball across the whole court could almost go in, which shows how good his crosshairs and strength are.

At the end of the half, the Guangxia team led the Xinjiang Provincial team by 11 points 71:60 into the second half.

Yibian fought again, and the Xinjiang Provincial Team defending Li Huan's Abdu Salamu and Kelan Baike were a little tired, and their speed was obviously not as fast as at the beginning, but Li Huan was like a wild horse that had escaped, and his speed was unabated, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

In addition, Li Huan only committed one foul in the first half, and the offense in the second half was not afraid of the opponent making offensive fouls, which meant that it was a bit rampage.

As a result, it is more difficult for the Xinjiang provincial team to defend against him.

In addition, on the defensive end, Li Huan's intensity has also come up, every time in the first half, he will press a little bit, less than 100% sure, and he will not shoot easily, but in the second half, his worries are gone, and he completely lets go of his hands and feet.

In the first half of the third quarter, he delivered two blocks and three steals, which is comparable to the statistics of others per ball, and he is a better defensive player.

Li Huan's strong play, coupled with the weakness of the Xinjiang Provincial Team, was beaten 10:0 by Guangxia in the third quarter, and the difference was expanded to 21 points.

The Xinjiang provincial team had to take a timeout and rearrange their tactics.

After returning from the timeout, Li Gen came on in place of Abdul Salamu.

Abdul Salamu was so tired, he played for almost 30 minutes, and got 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, which was not easy to do in the face of Li Huan's strongman's defense.

Li Gen is 196 centimeters tall, but weighs 105 kilograms, which is obviously heavier than Abdulsalamu, who is 203 centimeters tall.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages in defense due to excessive weight, the advantage is that it can withstand it, and the disadvantage is flexibility, and Li Huan is precisely the most flexible kind, so it is even more difficult for Li Gen and Kelan Baike's defense to be effective.

And Li Gen didn't shoot the three-point shot after he came up, mainly because Li Huan gave him too much oppression, and the degree of interference was much higher.

Throughout the third quarter, the Xinjiang Provincial team continued to rotate players to defend Li Huan, in order to limit Li Huan's play as much as possible, but unfortunately the effect was very small, in fact, too much attention to the defense may reduce the offensive ability.

Generally speaking, players with strong defense are weak in offense, while strong in offense and weak in defense, and there are few people who are strong on both offensive and defensive ends.

The frequent changes in defensive players in the Xinjiang provincial team led to their lack of improvement in attack.

On the other hand, the Guangxia team, either created opportunities for Li Huan or they shot in vacancies, and played well, no worse than the first two quarters.

Compared with the two, the gap is becoming more and more obvious.

At the end of the third quarter, Guangxia led the Xinjiang Provincial Team by as many as 27 points at 106:79.

With a gap of 27 points and a quarter of time, it is theoretically possible to overtake.

However, everyone knows that the Guangxia team is not a weak team, and it is almost an impossible task to chase 27 points in 12 minutes.

It's a playoff semi-final, and no team is going to relax at this time.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Guangxia was still elite, and Li Huan still stayed on the court.

Although the Xinjiang Provincial Team tried desperately to chase the score, it was powerless, and was beaten 18:10 in the first half of the fourth quarter, and the score gap reached 35 points, and there was no hope of catching up at all.

Li Chunjiang instructed the main players to be replaced and replaced by substitutes during the technical timeout, while the Xinjiang provincial team also gave up and also replaced the substitutes.

In the end, the Guangxia team defeated the visiting Xinjiang Provincial team with a score of 134:101 at home and won the first game, leading 1:0 in the semifinals.

In this crucial game, Li Huan's performance was amazing, with very amazing performances on both the defensive and offensive ends, especially when the opponent was surrounded by two or even three people, he still got gorgeous data.

In more than 41 minutes on the court, Li Huan got 58 points, 10 assists, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and 7 steals, and only made two turnovers, making him the best player in the game.

The Guangxia team also has scores such as Lin Zijie, Zhao Yanhao, Fortson, and Borossis scoring doubles.

The highest scorer on the Xinjiang provincial team was Stolas with 25 points, followed by Felder with 20 points, and Abdul Salamu with 18 points and 6 rebounds.

In addition, Yu Changdong of the Xinjiang Provincial Team also scored 11 points, and Li Gen did not play much time and only scored 4 points.

After the game, in an interview with reporters, the head coach of the Xinjiang Provincial Team, Adi Jiang, said that the players actually played very hard, but they still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Guangxia team, especially Li Huan, they still didn't guard well, and they would do their best in the next game.

Coach Li Chunjiang, who won the first game, was also very humble in the face of reporters' interviews, saying that the defense of the Xinjiang provincial team gave them a lot of pressure, and the score in the first two quarters was actually very tight, and then it slowly opened up, and the victory was not easy to come by.
