Chapter 602: Angry
Li Huan's impromptu dunk performance ignited the atmosphere of the audience.
The morale of the players of the Guangxia team has soared, while the players of the Xinjiang Provincial team are helpless, this Li Huan is simply a pervert, the dunk is too strong.
In the second quarter, both sides were double foreign aids, Stokes is a big foreigner in Xinjiang Province, 211 cm tall, has played in the NBA before, also spent in the NBL, and just joined the Xinjiang Provincial team in February.
Stokes is strong, has solid fundamentals, has first-class offensive rebounding ability, can score against the basket, passes the ball well, has long legs and is difficult to squeeze through his defense, and has excellent blocking ability.
The flaw is the lack of outside scoring ability.
Stokes received the ball and singled Borosis, and the two big ones began to compete in an instant.
Borosis has been a bit weak this season and has been known as playing health.
Fortunately, Guangxia's other players played well, and with Li Huan's strength, the team had its current record.
However, compared to the excellent performance of the previous season, this season Borosis has dropped in all aspects, so it can be said that the two are like two.
At this time, in the face of Stokes's singles, his defense also showed fatigue, and the tough Stokes directly tore a defensive line, leaned on, and the ball jumped forward with his left hand, and the basketball wiped the board into the basket.
Although this ball is not as amazing as Li Huan's crotch dunk, I have to say that the opponent's basic skills under the basket are very solid, and Guangxia needs to invest more defensive energy inside.
Of course, other players are also needed to flank or defend at the right time.
Both teams fought hard to score in the way they do best.
The Guangxia team is mainly playing on the outside, and in addition to Li Huan, the most important three-point shooter, Zhao Yanhao is also on the court, compared to the first quarter.
The first empty three-point in the second quarter is finally there, which also shows that he is confident in one aspect, otherwise if he is replaced by a player with poor psychological quality, if he does not score three shots in a row, the fourth will definitely be timid, but he seems quite decisive.
The Xinjiang provincial team mainly plays the inside line, supplemented by the outside line.
The outside line is mainly Felder, while the inside line is Stokes, while Abdul Salamu and Yu Changdong are players who belong to the combination of inside and outside.
They attack the inside first, and then pass outside, and Stokes has the ability to pass, so it is very beneficial to revitalize the team's attack.
Stokes singled Borosis again, and Hu Jinqiu immediately went up to flank the attack, but Yu Changdong quietly ran out.
Stokes' pass was very fast, and it was already in Yu Changdong's hand in an instant.
Yu Changdong came to the three-point line and jumped directly.
Although this ball is not very crisp, it scored after a few bumps, which is equivalent to a 3-point shot back to Zhao Yanhao.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Xinjiang Provincial Team had not yet come to his senses, Li Huan had already run to the front court, and after serving, Fortson received the ball and threw the ball far away from the frontcourt.
Such a long pass is also a great test of the defender's basic passing skills.
Li Huan caught it high, dribbled and came to the three-point line, a feint that rushed to the basket shook Abdusalam who was chasing him, and then stepped back and made a three-point jumper, and Felder behind him could only watch the ball fly into the basket.
Not to be outdone, Abdul Salamu used his personal ability, coupled with the blocking and dismantling of his teammates, to throw a difficult three-pointer, the whole person was a little drifting, Li Huan's hand height was there, but he still failed to block the opponent's ball.
Abdul Salamu's three-point shooting rate is also good, he hit two in the first quarter, and one more at this time, which is equivalent to three out of five, which is quite high, which shows that his performance is actually really good.
Few players can play under Li Huan's defense, and Abdul Salamu's level is worthy of being a candidate to enter the regular season MVP, and there are really two brushes.
The two teams went back and forth, and played a wave of very good balls in the first three minutes of the second quarter, with a very high shooting percentage, and the score came to 50:39 in a blink of an eye, with Guangxia leading by 11 points.
However, as the second quarter progressed to the middle of the period, both sides had a reduced shooting percentage, which was extremely normal, and it was impossible to maintain a high shooting percentage for long.
Of course, Li Huan is a miraculous exception.
Even under the pinch defense of Abdusalam and Zeng Lingxu, he still hit frequently.
After other players missed a few times, they all liked to give him the chance to finish at the end, in fact, this has formed a certain pattern or dependence in Guangxia.
Anyway, if you can't score points, then hand it over to Li Huan to score forcibly.
And Li Huan either made foul free throws or hit them himself, showing the energy of a superstar player.
The hit rate of the Xinjiang provincial team declined, while Guangxia relied on Li Huan to score again and again, so the score gap quickly widened to 15 points.
At this time, the second quarter has come to the last three minutes, for the Xinjiang provincial team, these three minutes are critical, if the score gap is continued to be stretched to more than 20 points, then the second half will be even more difficult to play.
On the other hand, if they can narrow the gap to less than 10 points in these three minutes, it will also be good news for their second-half comeback.
Abdul Salamu simply fought hard, running without the ball was very active, and Yu Changdong was helping him cover, he once again got a chance to vacate a space of about half a second, because Li Huan's anti-cover speed was very fast, and he had to throw it as soon as possible so that he would not be interfered with by the other party.
As a result, Abdul Salamu did it and made a very crucial three-pointer, and the gap was narrowed to 12 points.
And Li Jinlong, who had just been replaced, was a little raw, and he couldn't shoot three points in the open position.
Felder, in turn, hit another three-pointer to close the gap to nine.
At the critical moment, Li Huan still had to come, Li Huan faced the defense of three people this time, and forced a shot to cause Abdul Salamu's thug foul.
It's a pity that Li Huan was hit on the wrist by Abdul Salamu in this ball, causing the ball to deflect out of the basket.
The referee awarded three free throws.
Li Huan has stepped to the free throw line for the fifth time in this game, and has hit all 9 free throws before.
This time he was hit with a hand and seemed to have some slight effects, and the first free throw was slightly off the line and jumped out of the basket, much to the fans' pity.
However, Li Huan's adjustment ability is very strong, and the second and third free throws in succession, the two teams returned to an 11-point difference.
Felder and Abdul Salamu played a small combination, the former put in a long-range three-pointer, which was already the third three-pointer Felder made in the game, shooting 6 times and shooting 50%, which was also quite a strong performance.
When the Guangxia team attacked, the opponent's three outside linemen all went to cover Li Huan, while the two insiders guarded the door under the basket, treating the other players in Guangxia as nothing.
At this time, Fortson was a little angry, and he held the ball decisively and shot at the outside top arc three-point line.
