Chapter 222: Bloody Battle

"In the whole first half, the defense of the Beijing team has improved greatly compared to the first game, especially Xie Libin and Wang Xiaohui, who guarded the tall and strong like a plaster after coming on the field," said CCTV commentator Su Qun when commenting on the ball in the midfield.

"The reason why the Shanghai team completed the transformation of the team's strength from quantitative to qualitative change at the end of the season, one of the most critical factors is the rise of tall and strong, and the Shanghai team is now very dependent on tall and strong in attack, especially the breakthrough of tall and strong, how to defend the breakthrough of tall and strong, which is very important for Beijing," Zhang Weiping added.

"However, although the Beijing team played very bloody on the defensive end, there was a problem on the offensive end, you see everyone in the Beijing team taking the ball, they all want to do something by themselves, but no one knows what to really do, lack of cooperation, the offensive feeling is not smooth, I don't know if it is because too much energy is consumed in defense" Su Qun continued to comment.

……

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the decisive battle between the two sides began.

In the second half, both sides sent their strongest lineups, the most obvious being the appearance of two foreign players on both sides.

Marbury and Morris, the top inside and outside duo of the CBA league needless to say, and the duo of Harris and Landry have also conquered more and more fans through excellent performances and consecutive victories.

But the final focus of the game was on the matchup between the core guards of the two sides - Marbury VS Tall and Strong.

The sound of "squeaky squeak" sneakers rubbing came and went, and the tall and strong was strictly defended by Marbury as soon as he stepped into the Shanghai team's half.

At this time, the Beijing team adopted the "41" joint defense strategy, that is, Marbury was tall and strong outside, and the remaining four players adopted regional joint defense.

Marbury may be slightly inferior to Tall and Strong in terms of strength, speed, and explosiveness because of his age, but he has an unusually rich experience in actual combat confrontation, especially his continuous small movements, which make Tall and Strong extremely uncomfortable.

Top, card, pull, pull...... However, Marbury's small movements also excited the ruthlessness in Gao Dazhuang's heart.

"Peng" is tall and strong, a sudden start, and the moving defense Marbury hit together, the moment was hit Marbury did not forget to use his hand to slash the basketball in the hand of the tall and strong.

The tall and strong deft one sideways deft the ball, and took advantage of the situation to shake Marbury away, and one turn left Marbury behind.

In an instant, the tall and strong man hit the basket, and with a "beep", the tall and strong layup was destroyed by Zhai Xiaochuan's "even man with the ball" who attacked from the flank.

"Defensive fouls, free throws"

After the tall and strong landed, he glanced at the red mark on his arm that was hit, and turned his head to "roar" at Zhai Xiaochuan of the Beijing team: "Damn, you kid is really good."

"Hehe, boss, if you don't be ruthless, you can't be stopped," Zhai Xiaochuan responded with an embarrassed smile.

"You're very," the tall man made a contemptuous gesture at Zhai Xiaochuan.

"Brush" and "Brush" made two free throws, allowing the Shanghai team to take the lead at the beginning of the second half.

However, soon the "old horse" also responded, and he wanted to break through from the tall and strong flank with a cross-step change of direction, but when the tall and strong also retreated to intercept, Marbury suddenly made a sharp stop, stepped back and jumped to shoot.

With a "brush", Marbury hit a very simple pull-up jump shot.

46:46

After the goal, Marbury deliberately glanced defiantly at the tall man who was following him, and the tall man ignored Marbury's provocative gaze and signaled his teammates to serve quickly.

The Shanghai team attacked, Gao Dazhuang quickly advanced the ball to the front court, and Marbury stopped in front of Gao Dazhuang and directed the position of his teammates behind him through gestures.

In the pre-game technical and tactical settings, Marbury suggested to the head coach of the Beijing team, Min Lulei, that in the game, it is not only necessary to stick to the tall and strong in defense, but also to resolutely attack the tall and strong in the offense, so that it can consume its physical strength in both offense and defense, and this strategy has also been approved by the head coach of the Beijing team, Min Lulei.

"COMEON" is on the defensive, Marbury takes the initiative to provoke the tall and strong.

Before Marbury's words fell, the tall and strong suddenly made a few feints in a row and then turned sideways, breaking through Marbury's side in an instant.

Exceptional speed and power allowed the tall man to break through Marbury's defense in an instant.

After breaking through, Gao Dazhuang jumped into the inside line, and when facing the big forward Zhai Xiaochuan who made up the defense, Gao Dazhuang did not flinch and chose a direct frontal layup.

The tall and strong man flying in the air suddenly turned sideways in the face of Zhai Xiaochuan's cover, and deftly dodged Zhai Xiaochuan's block, not even leaving Zhai Xiaochuan with a chance to foul.

At this time, Gao Dazhuang changed his right hand to pick up the basket with one hand, but the ball had not left his hand, and with a "snap", Morris suddenly appeared next to Gao Dazhuang, and fanned the ball directly out of the bottom line with one palm.

"Doo" referee's whistle sounded again, "defensive foul"

"Black whistle, black whistle, black whistle ......" At this time, the whole stadium sounded a piercing sound.

"There is no problem with this penalty, just now Morris did hit the tall and strong hand first," CCTV commentator Su Qun explained after watching the replay.

"Well, the Beijing team obviously strengthened its defense in the second half, and did not hesitate to foul to prevent Gao Dazhuang from scoring, but I don't know if it is cost-effective for the Beijing team to do this, you must know that Zhai Xiaochuan and Morris both carried 3 fouls, and Wang Xiaohui, who was substituted for less than ten minutes in the first half, got 4 fouls in a single quarter" Zhang Weiping echoed.

"Brush", "Brush" Gao Dazhuang hit 2 free throws again, and continued to maintain the momentum of scoring points.

Soon, however, Marbury also broke through a pick-and-roll and broke inside to cause a defensive foul on Landry.

Throughout the third quarter, both sides used tough defense to block each other's offense, and Gao Dazhuang and Marbury each resisted explosives bags and rushed to the opponent's position again and again.

At the end of the third quarter, Marbury and Gao Dazhuang took turns to make mistakes, and the tense and intense game consumed too much physical strength of the two, and the fierce direct confrontation between the two also made the cheers of the fans on the scene higher and higher.

61:61

The two sides fought in three quarters and drew again.

"Before the game, the head coach of the Beijing team Min Lulei repeatedly emphasized that it was necessary to play bloody, and the Beijing team did play its own bloody nature in this game, but the Shanghai team was also tough," Mr. Zhang Weiping commented with a smile.

"Yes, now in addition to the two strong matchups between Gao Dazhuang and Marbury, there will be more tests of the team's benches and the will of the players, but compared to the Shanghai team, the Beijing team, which has already lost one game first, is under more pressure," Su Qun continued.

"Well, this game is the most intense game after the start of the playoffs, the score is the most anxious game, the game has been played so far the number of consecutive draws between the two sides has reached 17 times" Zhang Weiping teacher said excitedly: "Let's wait and see, who will be the final winner?" Beijing or Shanghai? ”
