Chapter 191: An Unexpected Visitor
"The game is over, 96-94, relying on Singleton's stunner ball, the Guangdong team narrowly defeated the Shanghai team and became the first team in the league to lock the playoff qualification, congratulations to the Guangdong team" CCTV commentator Yu Jia turned around and continued: "However, although the Shanghai team lost the game, the Shanghai team played quite well in this game, and a group of young players had the courage to take responsibility. The playoffs are not without a chance for the Shanghai team."
"Yes, the tall and strong of the Shanghai team won the CBA personal high score of 50 points in this game! In addition, he also has 8 assists and 5 rebounds, almost single-handedly successfully turned the tables, worthy of the MVP of the World Youth Championship, the tall and strong offensive ability is the top in the entire CBA league, not inferior to foreign aid at all" Another commentator Zhang Weiping praised.
"The other two post-93 players of the Shanghai team, Yang Kai and Zhai Yi, also played well, providing the necessary bench firepower for the Shanghai team, and now the problems of the Shanghai team are mainly injuries, and when Liu Wei and Harris return to the team smoothly, the Shanghai team will become a headache for any team at that time."
"And in this game, the new recruit Landry of the Shanghai team played well, although the offensive aspect was somewhat lacking, but it showed us his fierce defensive ability, picking up 22 rebounds in a single game, and I hope that his joining will allow the Shanghai team to regain the posture of the defensive iron army."
……
Although the final wave of counterattack almost overturned the Guangdong team, but in the end it fell short, although the fans on the scene gave the Shanghai team warm applause, but the feeling of losing is always bad.
"Hey, tall and strong, it's great, 50 points" Seeing Gao Dazhuang coming over with a sad face, Xia Xia, who was watching the game on the sidelines, immediately comforted.
"Yes, 50 points, oh my God, you actually scored 50 points in a single game in the CBA, it's amazing" Xia Kun on the side also said helpfully.
"If you lose the game, there is an egg," said the tall and strong pouting helplessly.
"Da Zhuang, although you lost today, you played really well, I think you will soon become the best basketball player in China," Xia said confidently.
"I think Da Zhuang is now the best player in China, today's game is a national live broadcast, Da Zhuang, you will definitely increase a lot of fans, hehe" Ding Huang joked with a smile.
"Brother Da Zhuang, from now on you are my idol, sign it," Jiang Feng, a high school student, looked at Gao Dazhuang with a look of admiration and said.
"You kid" was tall and strong, pretending to pat Jiang Feng's head vigorously.
After a brief greeting with his old friend, Gao Dazhuang appeared on time at the post-match press conference, which was the second time Gao Dazhuang participated in the press conference.
As soon as the tall man who scored 50 points today appeared at the venue, he immediately attracted the attention of the media, the spotlight was flashing, and one question after another poured in.
"Tall and strong, scored a career-high 50 points, do you have anything to say?"
"It's useless for the team to lose the game and score more points"
"Tall and strong, which position do you think is better for you, point guard or point guard?"
"What position I play depends on the coach's arrangement, and I will play whatever position the team needs me to play"
"Da Zhuang, in this year's All-Star vote, your votes are in the leading position, and there is a trend of becoming the king of votes, do you have anything to say to the fans?"
"Thank you very much for the support of the fans, to be honest the more votes I have, the more pressure I have, and what I hope more now is to lead the Shanghai team to the playoffs."
"Da Zhuang, will you join the latest national team?"
"It's always been my dream to be part of the national team, but so far I haven't received any information about the national team"
"Tall and strong......"
……
Compared with the tall and strong "gentle drizzle", the head coach of the Shanghai team, Panagio, was violently "bombarded" by reporters as soon as he came up.
In terms of overall strength, the Guangdong team is definitely stronger, and the captain of the Shanghai team, Liu Wei, is absent due to injury, and foreign aid Harris returns to China to mourn, and it is normal to lose.
However, in view of the Shanghai team's five consecutive defeats, Coach Panagio was inevitably "surrounded and suppressed" by the media.
"I'm also very unhappy with the team's defense tonight, we are a team that relies on defense, but the team's defense has not been doing well lately," said Coach Panagio in response to reporters' doubts about the team's defense.
Center Zhang Zhaoxu has always been the defensive gate of the Shanghai team, but Zhang Zhaoxu has been in a slump recently, and he has not played much time in this game.
"His performance is debatable," Coach Panagio said, for example, Zhang Zhaoxu had a completely unnecessary foul as soon as he came on the court in the first quarter, and Coach Panagio also tactfully criticized Zhang Zhaoxu for not giving it his all: "If you want to be a strong team, everyone has to put in a lot of effort, you have to be mentally concentrated, and you have to be fully focused for 48 minutes"
Another reporter asked him about Zhai Yi's 6 penalties, Coach Panagio replied: "In fact, he has so many fouls in a short period of time, on the one hand, because of his youth and lack of experience, on the other hand, it also shows his defensive enthusiasm, I am very satisfied with Zhai Yi's performance in this game, he is a young player, there is still a lot of room for improvement, of course, including Yang Kai."
There are also reporters at the scene who once again mentioned the problem of triangle attack, the Shanghai team's attack power ranking has been at the bottom of the league, why is this?
Coach Panagio did not answer the question directly, saying only that "it is a process of learning and growth, I think they understand it well now, but they still need to learn"
Of course, Coach Panagio highly praised the performance of the tall and strong, and pointed out that in addition to reverting to the original tough overall defense, the offense needs to be more aggressive and systematic.
After the end of the big battle with the Guangdong team, although the popularity of Gao Dazhuang on TV and the Internet continued, Gao Dazhuang himself began to prepare for the next league under the heavy protection of the club.
This is also the final game before the All-Star Weekend, and the Shanghai team will sit at home to face the visiting Dongguan team.
Shanghai has previously played Dongguan 17 times in the CBA League, with a record of 6 wins and 11 losses.
After narrowly defeating Foshan by 2 points in the last round, Dongguan has won six consecutive wins in the regular season and is currently ranked third in the league.
And a wave of five consecutive defeats made the Shanghai team, which is ranked 10th in the league, not to lose.
On the day of the game, the Pudong Yuanshen Stadium was full, and a large number of fans poured into the stadium to cheer for the Shanghai team.
However, in this game, there were two special "guests" in the stadium.
