Chapter 116 Away Battle Shandong
Because Qingdao Twin Stars Basketball Team was 15th in the CBA League last season, while Shanghai Sharks Basketball Team was 12th in the CBA League last season, neither team made it to last season's CBA playoffs.
Therefore, after the first round of the league, the focus of the domestic media was on Guangdong Hongyuan, Xinjiang Guanghui, Dongguan New Century, Jiangsu Nangang and other strong teams.
The report on this game is more reflected in the fact that "Qingdao new recruit Hudson showed strong strength, scoring more than half of the team's score with 43 points", while the Shanghai team was only a passing touch.
Only Yang Yi, the editor-in-chief of "Sports Weekly", reported on the Shanghai team in a small space, but the title was "The Only Flash: 2 Dunks from Potential Rising Stars".
But it was such a small report that finally allowed the local media in Shanghai to find a breakthrough.
In the case of poor team results, poor foreign aid, and sluggish ball market, a potential newcomer has become their only "life-saving straw".
At the post-game press conference, only a few local media in Shanghai asked Panagio, the head coach of the Shanghai Sharks basketball team, in addition to negative questions such as accusations, they only asked about the height and strength of the No. 14 "rookie".
In a total of more than 8 minutes of playing time, Gao Dazhuang made 2 of 3 shots and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 5 points, 4 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal, and 2 blocks.
But as a "rookie", it is still satisfying to achieve such results in limited playing time, especially the tall and strong 2 violent dunks, which let fans across the country see his excellent physical fitness.
According to the schedule of this season's CBA, the Shanghai Sharks basketball team has a three-game schedule at the beginning of the season.
After losing to the Qingdao Twin Stars basketball team, the Shanghai Sharks basketball team immediately faced their second opponent, the Shandong Golden Basketball Team.
In order to better prepare for the game, overcome the fatigue of the journey, and avoid consecutive defeats, the Shanghai Sharks basketball team did not return to Shanghai after playing the game against the Qingdao Double Star Basketball Team, but set off directly to Jinan.
Although Gao Dazhuang has also played high-density events like the National Youth League, it is obvious that the confrontation intensity of the CBA is more intense, and the pressure on the players' bodies and minds is also greater.
Therefore, after arriving in Jinan, Coach Panagio conducted group exercises, the players who did not play on the field carried out slightly more intense confrontation training, and the players who played in the last game were under the leadership of the physical coach, and carried out recovery training.
Gao Dazhuang was also fortunate to follow the team's "big guys" to do recovery training, although Gao Dazhuang felt that he was in good physical condition.
"Alas, the main players are just well treated," Zhai Yiyi, who was full of big heads, sat next to the tall man who was doing ligament stretching exercises and teased.
"Damn, I'm just a little substitute," said Zhai Yi with a tall and strong look.
"But I'm not even a substitute," Zhai Yi said pretending to be aggrieved.
"If you don't know this one, there will always be a chance," Gao Dazhuang said with a smile.
"I hope the coach can make my first match come soon," Zhai Yi said as he looked at Coach Panagio's hands.
"When the time comes, you have to pass me a few good balls," after finishing the work, Zhai Yi hugged the tall man and said solemnly.
"That's for sure."
"Haha, good brother"
……
The rookies' days are always so happy.
Jinan Olympic Sports Center Donghe Gymnasium.
The Shanghai Sharks basketball team ushered in the second opponent of the consecutive away games - Shandong Golden Basketball Team.
Shandong Golden Basketball Club is a veteran team active in China's basketball world, and its results in the CBA league have been in the forefront, and the "troika" composed of Gong Xiaobin, Ji Minshang and Ju Weisong has been in the forefront of the Chinese basketball world, and has been in the forefront of the CBA league.
Young coach Gong Xiaobin has been in charge of the team since the 03 season, and led the team to win the fifth place in the league when the team was changing between the old and the new.
However, due to the retirement of Gong Xiaobin, Ji Minshang, and Ju Weisong's "three carriages" one after another, the Shandong men's basketball team is in a difficult period of alternating between the old and the new.
Last year, the Shandong Golden Basketball Team won the 11th place in the CBA League, just one place higher than the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Team.
At the beginning of the game, Sun Jie, the point guard of the Shandong Golden Basketball Team, made a successful steal and assisted foreign aid Anderson to make an easy layup and score the first point of the game.
In the first quarter of the game, more than 4 minutes into the game, Shandong Golden Basketball team's foreign aid Anderson grabbed the rebound in the front court with his excellent bounce and succeeded in the second attack, and gave Peng Fei of the Shanghai team a big hat when he returned to defense, which attracted the audience to boil.
Obviously, the Shandong Golden Basketball team playing at home is obviously superior, while the Shanghai Sharks basketball team, which has played consecutive away games, has not found a feeling at all, and has committed 4 fouls and many mistakes with 7 minutes left in the first quarter.
After that, the Shandong Golden Basketball team fired more.
First, scoring guard Sui Ran used a three-pointer to open the difference, and then the team's center Cao Zhenhua dunked again.
In the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, Anderson, a foreign aid of the Shandong team, scored another 6 points.
At the end of the first quarter, the two sides fought 27:20, and the Shandong Golden Basketball team led by 7 points.
In the second quarter of the game, the head coach of the Shanghai Sharks basketball team, Panagio, sent a lineup of double foreign aid to chase the score.
Shanghai small forward Rene Kelly and shooting guard Harris played at the same time, while Shandong continued to maintain a single foreign aid on the court, scoring guard Anderson.
I have to say that the ability of CBA foreign aid in all aspects is much higher than that of domestic players.
After Harris of the Shanghai team came on the court, he quickly hit three points, and also played a 2+1, which quickly opened up the situation.
And with Rayne Kelly, the two kept attacking the Shandong Golden Basketball Team like two sharp knives, making the Shandong team tired of parrying, and the Shanghai team soon approached the score.
"Snap" Renkelly made a successful steal and passed the ball directly to Harris who rushed in front, and Harris forced a layup according to the Shandong team's defender.
At 51:50, with the layup of Shanghai team's foreign aid Harris, the second quarter of the game ended, and the Shanghai team successfully overtook 1 point in the first half.
Obviously, Coach Panagio's two-foreign aid tactics have paid off, not only overtaking the score, but also greatly boosting the team's morale.
However, because the CBA's foreign aid policy is 5 people in 4 quarters, in order to be able to re-enter the double foreign aid in the fourth quarter, in the third quarter of the game, Coach Panagio offered an "all-Chinese class".
"Tall and strong, you play" Coach Panagio glanced at tall and strong and said: "Play your attack power, just like in the last game".
"Yes" The tall man threw his coat to Zhai Yi on the side, and immediately stood up.
Coach Panagio gathered the five domestic players who were ready to play, Zhang Zhaoxu, Zeng Wending, Peng Fei, Liu Wei, and Gao Dazhuang, to lay out tactics, and repeatedly emphasized: "Control the rhythm, you must control the rhythm of the game."
In the CBA league, the single-quarter "all-Chinese class" is a very risky tactic, because of the actual gap between domestic players and foreign aid, the "all-Chinese class" lineup is vulnerable to the crazy impact of the opponent's foreign aid.
"Toot" as the referee's whistle sounds, and the third quarter of the game begins.
The Shandong Golden Basketball Team is still a single foreign player - scoring guard Anderson, and he is a tall and strong defensive target.
Anderson is 1.98 meters tall, and compared with Hudson, a foreign aid of the Qingdao team who is tall and strong in the last game, he is a little less flexible, but a little more tough.
As soon as the game began, Anderson began to hold the ball and play tall and strong with his back singles, and the continuous "Peng, Peng, Peng" slammed into the tall and strong with his shoulders.
But the tall and strong also has good strength, and he resisted Anderson to the death.
At this time, Anderson suddenly turned and made a backward jumper, and the tall and strong also reacted quickly to rush forward to block it.
"Brush", despite the tall and strong trying to defend, the ball still landed accurately in the net.
After the goal, Anderson glanced at the tall man and slowly retreated to his own half.
"Hey, sure enough, none of these foreign aides are fuel-efficient lamps," Gao Dazhuang looked at Anderson, a foreign aid of the Shandong team, and sighed.
