During the intermission, Coach Panagio gathered Zhang Zhaoxu, Zeng Wending, Ji Xiang, and Zhai Yi together to arrange offensive and defensive tactics, and it was obvious that Coach Panagio was very dissatisfied with the performance of the inside line in the first quarter.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Ji Xiang replaced Zhang Zhaoxu as the center of the Shanghai team.

Ji Xiang was born in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, 2.08 meters tall, can be qualified for two positions of center and power forward, he joined the Shanghai men's basketball team at the age of 15, went to the United States to study in 07, and represented the University of Hawaii in the NCAA for three years during college, Ji Xiang is the first Chinese player to join the University of Hawaii men's basketball team.

But Ji Xiang is not a center forward in the traditional sense, and when he faces a tall, powerful interior player, he will struggle to defend, and the opponent he is facing now is a model of this type of player: the bus, one of the three major center forwards in China.

The main offensive focus of the Xinjiang team is still the inside line of the Shanghai team, and a through ball from Xirelijiang directly passes the ball to the hands of the inside, and it is very simple to lean on and then turn around and hook the hand.

With a "brush", it was very easy to score another 2 points on the inside.

15：24

"Position, position......" Gao Dazhuang was just about to serve at the bottom line, when he heard Panagio, the head coach of the Shanghai team, rushing to the sidelines and constantly scolding Ji Xiang, he couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard it.

The tall and strong quickly pushed the ball forward to the frontcourt.

The Xinjiang team obviously has a certain amount of research on tall and strong, whenever tall and strong break through, the inside line shrinks quickly, and there will soon be players to make up for the defense, making it very difficult for tall and strong to break through.

However, Gao Dazhuang is no longer the "rookie" he was at the beginning, and in many games, Gao Dazhuang has also faced similar targeted defense.

Gao Dazhuang glanced at Ji Xiang on the inside, and when Ji Xiang pulled out, Gao Dazhuang suddenly moved sideways, and with the help of his teammates' cover, he opened up the distance from the defender Xi Relijiang.

The tall man who got rid of the defense did not hesitate and shot decisively.

With a "brush" sound, the tall and strong half-volley hit.

17：24

After the goal, Gao Dazhuang stretched out a hand and smiled at Ji Xiang, "snap", and the palms of the two slapped together.

Ji Xiang has been serving as the team's substitute, and was angrily reprimanded by Coach Panagio when he was hit a goal just after he came on the field, so Gao Dazhuang hopes that he can participate more in the team's offense and defense and adapt to the rhythm of the field as soon as possible.

The Xinjiang team attacked, and the ball was still in the hands of Xirelijiang at this time.

However, the ** and Ji Xiang of the inside line have been entangled together, and Ji Xiang uses Rao front defense to directly cut off the line between ** and the ball handler.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak" With the sound of the friction between the shoes and the floor, the movements of the two became bigger and bigger, and the tall and strong on the outside also kept waving his hands, trying to interfere with Xi Relijiang's passing route, so as to reduce the pressure on Ji Xiang on the inside.

"Toot" at this time, the referee suddenly blew the whistle.

Gao Dazhuang looked back, and saw ** helplessly raised his hands, while Ji Xiang hugged ** tightly.

"Defensive foul" Xinjiang team serves.

Ji Xiang was about to argue with the referee for a few words, when Panagio, the head coach of the Shanghai team on the sidelines, applauded at Ji Xiang and shouted: "That's right, that's it, Rao Qian, Rao Qian."

The Xinjiang team served quickly, and the ball was handed over to Xirelijiang.

After receiving the ball, Xi Relijiang shook and suddenly accelerated from the baseline to the basket, and the tall and strong immediately clung to it.

"Slap" around the bottom and into the basket Xi Relijiang passed the ball to the basket, and the ** who received the ball under the basket was immediately caught by Ji Xiang and Gao Dazhuang.

** Unmoved in the face of the pinch, one shoulder after continuous shaking, pressed Ji Xiang and prepared to attack.

The referee's whistle sounded again, and at the moment when ** was about to shoot, Gao Dazhuang jumped up from behind with a palm, and directly fanned the ball in his hand, but Gao Dazhuang also hit **'s ball protector while breaking the ball.

"Defensive fouls, free throws"

**1 of 2 free throws, 17:25

Although the Shanghai team suffered an overwhelming blow on the defensive end, it still maintained full firepower on the offensive end.

The tall man used a cross screen to get inside to draw the defense and distribute the ball to Harris, who cut inside.

With a "beep", Harris's layup caused a defensive foul on Yu Changdong of the Xinjiang team.

"Brush", "brush", Harris hit 2 free throws, and the Shanghai team tightly bit the score.

19：25

However, at the point of defense, the Shanghai team has never found a good way.

Ji Xiang's non-stop defense, although he once successfully stopped the attack, but in front of the old man, he quickly accompanied 4 fouls in a single quarter.

Rao is like this, the Shanghai team is still 5 points behind the Xinjiang team at the end of the first half.

36：41

At the beginning of the second half, the Shanghai team made another substitution, and the young inside line Zhai Yi came on the court to replace Ji Xiang, who had 4 fouls on his back.

After Zhai Yi came on the court, he gave full play to the role of a new force, and the active defense consumed a lot of physical strength, although he quickly accompanied 2 attacks, but also made ** score 2 points only by free throws in the second half.

With Harris receiving a tall and strong assist for a layup.

44：45

The Shanghai team chased the score to only 1 point.

At this time, the Xinjiang team asked for a substitution, and under the ** with large physical consumption, another center Tang Zhengdong was replaced.

"Drink" Tang Zhengdong, who had just come on the court, shouted, and forced Zhai Yi to wipe the board and shoot under the basket.

With a sound of "brush", Tang Zhengdong made a strong attack under the basket.

"Damn" Zhai Yi depressedly smashed the ball on the floor.

Tang Zhengdong is 2.15 meters tall and weighs more than 140 kilograms, and has been selected for the Chinese national men's basketball team many times, and was elected as the MVP of the 2004-2005 CBA regular season.

And Tang Zhengdong has a similar style to **, both of them are strong and accurate.

A minute later, the Xinjiang team replaced another foreign aid, Laver, and after Laver came on the field, the Xinjiang team's interior attack was more resolute.

Garni Lavol, power forward. Laver was selected by the Phoenix Suns in the 2010 draft at the 46th overall in the second round. Laver represented the Suns in the Summer League, averaging 5 starts in 5 games, averaging 27.6 minutes per game, contributing 15.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1 block, shooting 49.2% from the field, and is the Suns Summer League scoring leader, rebounding champion and block leader.

Laver's aggression is stronger, Tang Zhengdong is involved, Laver is attacking, although the Shanghai team's interior has tried its best to stop, but it still can't stop its crazy scoring in the Shanghai team's interior.

The inside combination of Zeng Wending and Zhai Yi looked so thin and weak in front of Tang Zhengdong and Laver, but fortunately, the backcourt combination of the Shanghai team's tall and strong and Harris always maintained enough firepower.

55：59

Xinjiang entered the fourth quarter with a four-point lead.

Although the score was not much behind, Zhang Zhaoxu, the inside line of the Shanghai team at this time, had 3 fouls, Ji Xiang 4 fouls, Zhai Yi 3 fouls, and Zeng Wending 4 fouls.

It's not just the problem of inside fouls, Coach Panagio looked at the technical statistics in his hand: the rebounding was 26 to 41, and the Shanghai team grabbed 15 fewer rebounds than the Xinjiang team alone.

In the face of a strong team on the inside, the shortcomings of the Shanghai team are undoubtedly revealed.
