Chapter 127: A Little Climax
Both the Shanghai team and the Shanxi team used a single foreign aid tactic in the first quarter, but Charles, a foreign aid of the Shanxi team, played better and controlled the situation on the court.
So in the second quarter of the game, Coach Panagio of the Shanghai team replaced Harris, the offensive core of the team who was not playing well, with another swingman Rainkelly, and the "rookie" Gao Dazhuang replaced the team's small forward Peng Fei.
However, at this time on the court, Gao Dazhuang served as the team's scoring guard.
After being tall and strong, he quickly adjusted his state and made verbal and eye contact with his teammates from time to time.
Through the previous games, Gao Dazhuang not only managed to squeeze into the team's rotation lineup, but also seized a certain "offensive" privilege in the substitute lineup.
The player opposite the tall and strong is the scoring guard of the Shanxi team No. 6 Pan Jiang, this player is 1.93 meters tall, there is nothing special at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he is more of a substitute for Williams, another foreign player of the Shanxi team.
Just after halftime, Liu Wei passed the ball to Gao Dazhuang near the three-point line.
After receiving the ball, the tall man did not hesitate, took a step back and raised his hand to shoot.
Three-point shot? Pan Jiang looked at the tall and strong in disbelief, the player standing in front of him was so young, but how could this substitute player who had just come on the field shoot at will?
"When", the tall and strong shot just now was a little big, and the ball bounced out of the basket.
"Whew, it's just a rookie," Pan Jiang sighed secretly and looked at the tall and strong with some disdain.
The flying basketball caused a scuffle under the basket, and Zhang Zhaoxu, the center of the Shanghai team, fanned the ball to the periphery with one arm.
"Good" Liu Wei jumped high to receive the ball, and after landing, he quickly drove the ball into the Shanxi team's penalty area.
However, Liu Wei had just stepped into the paint area, and in the face of the bag of several players on the other side, he decisively distributed the ball to the periphery.
"Bang" Liu Wei's ball fell into the hands of Gao Dazhuang again.
Catching the ball, jumping, shooting, tall and strong in one go, the shooting of the first ball did not shake the slightest confidence of tall and strong.
"No," Pan Jiang, who was not in a hurry to make up for the defense, could only silently pray that the goal would not be scored.
"Brush" but the reality is cruel, tall and strong three points accurately hit the center of the net.
"Good fight," captain Liu Wei ran over and encouraged.
Gao Dazhuang responded with a smile, and his face did not show too much joy after the goal, but his body was more excited.
The Shanxi team's offense is still dominated by Charles.
Charles is a young and strong practical foreign player, and last season in the game against the Guangdong team, Charles scored 52 points and became famous.
After receiving the ball, Charles relied on his body tonnage to beat Zhang Zhaoxu, the center of the Shanghai team, under the basket.
Charles made a false flick and then a half-turn to completely get rid of Zhang Zhaoxu's defense, just as the ball was about to be shot.
There was a muffled "snap", and the tall and strong man who rushed up from behind slapped Charles's arm very hard.
"Toot", the referee stretched out his left hand, clenched his right hand into a fist and hit the wrist of his left hand, pointing at the tall and strong, "the batter fouled".
Charles looked at the faint red marks on his arm after being slapped, and glared at the tall man fiercely.
"I'msorry," replied the tall man with a grin.
Charles reluctantly walked to the free throw line and hit one of two free throws.
"Okay, that's it, let's play a little bloody" Coach Panagio of the Shanghai team on the sidelines agreed with the tall and strong defensive attitude.
The Shanghai team attacked, and Gao Dazhuang pulled out and made a block with Liu Wei.
Liu Wei held the ball and attacked carefully, and then passed the ball back to Gao Dazhuang, who retreated to the three-point line.
After receiving the ball, seeing that Pan Jiang's follow-up defense was not tight, he took a deep breath, adjusted slightly, and gently pushed the ball out with his fingers.
"Another three? Go crazy" Pan Jiang looked at the tall and strong man who shot "indiscriminately".
"Brush", the crisp sound of entering the network ruthlessly hit Pan Jiang.
"Da Zhuang", "Da Zhuang", "Da Zhuang" The fans of the Shanghai team were awakened by Gao Dazhuang's continuous three-point shots and began to cheer indulgently.
In the next game, the two sides attacked and defended each other, but in general, the Shanghai team was gradually eating away at the lead of the Shanxi team.
The Shanxi team attacked, Pan Jiang and foreign aid Charles made a cross cover, and after getting rid of the tall and strong sticker defense, Pan Jiang quickly rushed into the basket penalty area.
When the layup was blocked by Zhang Zhaoxu, a backhand passed the ball to Charles who cut to the basket.
At this time, it was the taller and stronger who was marking Charles, but it was clear that Charles, who was catching the ball under the basket, was taller and stronger.
Just as Charles was about to jump under the basket and dunk, two strong arms unbelievably pulled him out of the air.
"Foul, foul" The referee's whistle had not yet sounded, and the tall man holding Charles took the initiative to confess.
Charles helplessly shook his hand to break free of the tall and strong hand, squinted his eyes at the tall and strong, and walked to the free throw line again.
Two free throws and two hits.
Charles showed his good athletic level, and after the free throw, he looked defiantly at the tall and strong.
Gao Dazhuang also made a clapping gesture to Charles, at this time, as the team's "rookie", Gao Dazhuang actually resisted the opponent's core players, but this is what Coach Panagio wanted.
The Shanghai team's offense is still the same offensive routine just now, Liu Wei forcibly hit the inside line, and then distributed the ball to the tall and strong on the periphery.
Tall and strong receive the ball from beyond the three-point line and prepare to shoot.
Although Pan Jiang didn't believe that Gao Dazhuang could still shoot, he didn't dare to let go of gambling at this time, but quickly pounced to block it.
The corner of the tall and strong mouth suddenly smiled, put the ball away, and then threw the ball to the ground violently, and broke through Pan Jiang's defense with a brush.
Gao Dazhuang, who quickly rushed into the basket, showed his strong impact, and in the face of the Shanxi team players who made up for the defense, Gao Dazhuang made an air pull-up and a backhand layup, scoring two points again.
Zhai Yiyao, who was in the "beautiful" field, shouted at the tall and powerful, and Yang Ling also stood up excitedly and kept applauding.
Of course, the Shanghai fans in the stadium were boiling again, and the tall and strong players made the entire Shanghai team more lethal.
Tall and strong are the more they fight, the more excited they become.
"Hey" is tall and strong in the baseline card position, and he starts to take the initiative to ask for the ball.
"Slap" Liu Wei made a ground pass and passed the ball to Gao Dazhuang.
After receiving the ball, the tall and strong suddenly burst out, and a heavy shoulder hit Pan Jiang's chest, forcibly squeezing the inside line of the Shanxi team.
"Damn", Pan Jiang, who was suffering from the tall and strong dark strength head-on, felt a tightness in his chest, and couldn't help but scold angrily.
Just when Pan Jiang adjusted his rhythm and was about to collide with the tall and strong again.
The tall man suddenly took a step back and threw a jumper from his back.
"" Pan Jiang suddenly had a feeling that he had nowhere to use his strength.
"Brush", the basketball falls steadily into the basket.
The tall and strong show is not over yet.
Shanxi team Charles held the ball and turned around and shook Zhang Zhaoxu to face the basket, just about to wipe the board and shoot, when he suddenly felt the whirring wind behind him.
There was a loud bang of "Peng", and Charles, who was caught off guard, was directly fanned off by a tall and strong hat.
The basketball that flew out slammed into the rebound, and after the rebound, it was grabbed by Zeng Wending, the big forward of the Shanghai team.
"Counterattack", Zeng Wending yelled and threw the ball to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei was at full throttle, sprinting at full speed to the opponent's half.
But just when Liu Wei just stepped into the opponent's three-point line, he suddenly moved sideways, and threw the ball into the air at will under the eyes of the Shanxi team's defenders.
Immediately after a burst of heavy footsteps, a figure "snapped" and grabbed the ball in his hand and jumped up directly.
Tilt to 45 degrees in the air, hold the ball in one hand, and slam the ball into the hoop.
"Bang" sounded, and the Shanghai team dunked successfully.
It's number 14, tall and strong.
From the successful block to the frontcourt dunk, in a few seconds, Gao Dazhuang quickly completed the offensive and defensive transition, and overtook the score with a heavy dunk.
48:46
With the cheers of the fans, the Shanghai team maintained the lead until the end of the first half.
