Chapter 196: Harris Returns

"Hi, brothers, I'm back" A bright voice resounded throughout the training hall.

Tall Zhuang looked back when he heard the voice, and then smiled unconsciously, "Hey, buddy, long time no see"

At this time, there was a familiar figure standing at the door of the training hall, Gao Dazhuang greeted him with a smile, the two hugged each other tightly, and Gao Dazhuang whispered in his ear

The person who appeared in the training hall was Harris, who had returned to China to deal with his brother's funeral, and the tall man whispered in his ear.

"Hey, that's all in the past, we always have to look forward, don't we? Besides, he's been to a beautiful place," Harris replied with a faint smile.

"Well, welcome home, my brothers miss you very much," said the tall and strong man with his hands outstretched in welcome.

"I miss you too, especially you, I heard that you won the MVP of the All-Star Game while I wasn't there?" Harris pretended to be unconvinced, and said to the tall man.

"Haha, don't you know him? He's the legendary MVP collector. I'll calculate: MVP of CUBA, MVP of Youth League, MVP of World Youth Championships, MVP of All-Star, tsk tsk" At this time, Zhai Yibi crossed his fingers and smiled.

"Ha, it's all clouds, my biggest wish now is for our team to make the playoffs," Gao Dazhuang replied with a smile.

"Gotta get in," Harris replied immediately, puffy.

"Well, there is an All-Star Game MVP here, you have to enter," Yang Kai also walked over and hugged his tall and strong shoulders and said confidently.

"Haha, come on"

……

Although the Shanghai team has a poor record, due to the further rise in the popularity of the tall and strong, more and more fans come to Pudong Yuanshen Sports Center to watch the game.

And due to the injury-plagued Shanghai team, the last game boldly used newcomers, and defeated the third-ranked Dongguan team in the league with a strong momentum, and the situation of hitting the playoffs has become clearer.

Although the Shanghai team is still ranked 10th in the league, it is only one goal away from the 8th Fujian team, and now there are 5 rounds left before the end of the league, but the real strong team in these 5 rounds is only Beijing, so the situation of the Shanghai team is still very good.

However, whether it can enter the playoff round in the end depends on whether the Shanghai team itself is strong.

Today's opponent of the Shanghai team is the traditional powerhouse Bayi team.

Bayi team was a well-deserved giant in the CBA, has won the league championship eight times, the team fully carried forward the fine tradition and style of the People's Liberation Army, the style of play is brave and tenacious, dare to fight, and form a set of technical and tactical styles that focus on defense, fast advancement, accurate shooting, and combination of internal and external skills.

However, with the marketization of the CBA league, trapped by the restriction of not being able to introduce foreign aid, under the impact of major strong foreign aid, this former military powerhouse has gradually declined.

At present, Bayi is ranked 15th in the league and has lost the qualification to impact the playoffs early.

Today's Bayi team, which is fighting for honor, will meet the Shanghai team that is desperate for the playoffs.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

After the opening, the Shanghai team did not send Harris, who had just returned to the team, but lined up the lineup that won the last big win over Dongguan.

Gao Dazhuang, Yang Kai and Zhai Yi, the three post-92 youngsters, all appeared on the stage, supplemented by Landry and Liu Ziqiu, and the Shanghai team discharged a "small lineup" at the beginning of the game, ready to play small ball.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, the players of the Shanghai team had a very large range of running, and they were very active in interspersing and covering.

As soon as the "snap" ball was passed to Gao Dazhuang's hand, Gao Dazhuang immediately changed direction and broke through after a false shake.

The person responsible for defending the tall and strong is Han Shuo, who has the strongest defensive ability in the Bayi team.

Han Shuo also had a lot of experience in the competition, and his reaction was also quite fast, he quickly adjusted his position, and took a big step forward to cling to the tall and strong.

However, with a "Peng", Han Shuo was blocked by a human wall, and Landry pulled out at the right time and suddenly appeared on Han Shuo's flank, successfully blocking Han Shuo's footsteps.

After using the blocking and dismantling to quickly get rid of Han Shuo's defense, Gao Dazhuang rushed into the basket, and flashed Wang Zhizhi who blocked the front with a "European step", facing the big center Moko under the basket of the Bayi team, Gao Dazhuang did not flinch in the slightest, jumped high with the ball in one hand, and went straight to the basket.

"Dunk? Bastard, this arrogant boy" Moko was enraged by the tall and strong infusion, and immediately adjusted his position and jumped on the spot, spreading his hands to block.

But the tall man in the air did not choose to force his shot, but turned around in the air and leaned back against Moko, and made a wonderful backhand pass, which directly passed the ball to Landry, who cut to the basket.

With a loud bang, Landry received the ball and turned around on the spot and pulled it up, dunking the ball into the basket with both hands.

"Oh" Shanghai fans cheered at the scene, and as soon as the game began, the Shanghai team kicked off tonight's offense with a powerful dunk.

Although Wang Zhizhi of the Bayi team immediately recovered two points for the Bayi team with a trademark back-turn jumper.

But Gao Dazhuang also hit Han Shuo a 2+1 with an unreasonable strong burst, and a minute later, Gao Dazhuang broke through the basket again and made a defensive foul on Moko.

After the baptism of the World Youth Championships and the experience of the CBA, Gao Dazhuang did not fall behind in the confrontation with Marbury, Brooks and other top foreign aid in the CBA, and his strength and explosiveness were even better, and Han Shuo of the Bayi team could not stop Gao Dazhuang's breakthrough at all.

With the referee's whistle, Gao Dazhuang broke through from the baseline again, leaned on Moko to force a layup, and got another chance to add a free throw.

With the addition of the free throw by the tall and strong, the Bayi team made personnel adjustments at the end of the five minutes of the game.

The big center Moko was replaced by Xu Zhonghao, who was more flexible.

In the first 5 minutes of the game, Gao Dazhuang repeatedly hit the inside line, and frequently made interior defensive fouls, and the main center of the Bayi team gave 3 fouls without scoring a point, and the head coach of the Bayi team, A Dijiang, was forced to play a "small ball" with the Shanghai team.

However, in the case that both sides are not defended, the attack of the Bayi team is obviously inferior to that of the Shanghai team.

34:23

In the first quarter of the game, the Shanghai team achieved an 11-point advantage.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Wang Zhizhi made a basket under the basket, but Gao Dazhuang also assisted Yang Kai to score a layup, Wang Lei hit a three-point shot, and Gao Dazhuang also counterattacked and won the fast attack.

Since then, the Shanghai team has been holding a lead of more than 10 points in the tug-of-war.

In the latter part of the quarter, the Shanghai team took the initiative to change the formation again, Zhang Zhaoxu went up, and Liu Ziqiu went down.

This change in the Shanghai team pushed Landry to the position of power forward, and Zhai Yi played the role of the team's small forward.

After Zhang Zhaoxu came on the field, the air defense capability of the Shanghai team's penalty area was further strengthened, and the Bayi team did not score for 3 minutes, while the Shanghai team took this opportunity to further widen the gap.

58:44

After halftime, Shanghai led by 14 points.

"Oh" The second half of the game had just begun, and there was a burst of cheers in the entire Yuanshen Sports Center.

It turned out that Harris, who had just finished handling personal affairs from the United States, was replaced by Shanghai team head coach Panagio, and the top scorer of the Shanghai team returned again.

Although Harris is finally back on the court, he has been out of action for a long time, and after the loss of his brother, everyone is worried about his condition.

Although the saying goes, "Turn grief into strength" is easier said than done, Harris did it, and there is no doubt that he is the hero of today.

With a "brush", Harris, who had just come on the court, hit a pull-up jump shot after receiving a tall and strong pass, announcing his return.

Then the tall and strong broke through and threw a small toss out of the basket, and Harris jumped from the free throw line like a lightning bolt, and grabbed Landry before he flew to put the ball in the basket and hit the basket.

A minute later, Harris received another through ball from a tall and strong through ball, and the basket made a layup.

Harris on the court seems to be more courageous than ever, and you can't seem to tell that such a sad thing has just happened to him.

Harris's back-to-back offensive hits made fans sigh that Harris was using the combined strength of the two brothers to complete the game.

In the following game, Harris and Tall Strong's frequent breakthroughs made the Bayi team disarm early, and the game quickly entered garbage time.

Gao Dazhuang played 1 minute in the fourth quarter and was substituted.

When there were 20 seconds left in the game, Coach Panagio of the Shanghai team replaced Harris with Liu Ziqiu to go to rest, and Harris, who had 20 points and 7 rebounds at halftime, also retired with cheers and applause from fans and teammates.

In the locker room after the game, Harris was surrounded by the media, although Gao Dazhuang also scored 28 points and 10 assists today, but it is clear that Harris is the brightest one in the Shanghai team today.

In the face of reporters, Harris said that for the past few days, "I have been with my family and have no time to train."

Commenting on tonight's performance, Harris said with a smile that he didn't know why: "Even though I was tired, I felt like I had a lot of energy, I tried to focus as much as I could, and I was very positive in the warm-up before the game."

Afterward, Harris took the initiative to mention his late brother, "This is basketball, my brother was a very optimistic person when he was alive, so he told me to always be happy and love your life." On the court I just focused on the basketball and didn't think about anything else, but the good thing was that I came back and worked very well with my teammates, so I felt good tonight. ”

At the same time, Harris did not forget to thank his teammates, he said that everyone's outstanding performance is inseparable from the support of his teammates, "We have a good guard, he has helped me a lot, look at those teams that have won championships in the NBA, they always have a good guard, although our team's guard is a "rookie", he is very selfless to share the ball with his teammates. Of course, we also have the big man Max on the inside, Landry, Zhai Yi and so on are all very good players, and everyone can step up when the team needs them."

Speaking of which, the optimistic Harris did not forget to joke about the tall Zhuang next to him, "Hey, you should interview the tall and strong, he is the All-Star MVP"

Harris's outstanding performance was also praised by opponents, and Bayi head coach Adijiang commented on him, saying that "Harris is as tall and strong as he can't be stopped"

In the other matches of this round, Shanghai's main rivals Liaoning lost away from home, and as a result, Shanghai climbed to ninth place in the rankings.

Like Gao Dazhuang, the fans of the Shanghai team can't wait for the next round of the CBA league: the current Shanghai team is very strong.
