Chapter 205: Upset
"It's unbelievable that the defending champion and the first Guangdong team in the regular season is 19 points behind the Shanghai team at halftime, and if the Guangdong team does not make timely changes in the second half, it will definitely hate Shanghai Tang," Zhang Weiping said with a smile.
"The Guangdong team will definitely not give up, Brooks and Singleton both appeared on the court, and the test of the Shanghai team in the second half came" With Yang Yi's commentary, the Guangdong team launched the first attack of the second half.
Brooks quickly dribbled to the front court, and at this time it was Liu Wei, the captain of the Shanghai team, who was responsible for defending Brooks, but in the face of Liu Wei's defense, Brooks did not have the slightest concern, and suddenly increased his speed, and threw Liu Wei behind him with two consecutive changes of direction, and grabbed the shot before Landrew's defense.
"Brush", Brooks hit a half-volley, and in the first few seconds of the second half, Brooks recovered a goal for the Guangdong team.
40:57
The Shanghai team continued the offensive mode of the first half, with players constantly interspersed and running, and basketball constantly moving between players.
The "snap" ball passed to the hands of Liu Wei of the Shanghai team, and Liu Wei jumped directly against Brooks' defense.
With a "dang", Liu Wei missed three points, and the ball bounced out of the basket.
"Oh, Liu Wei missed three points for the first time in this game"
"Bang" Guangdong team Singleton grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack, Brooks exerted his speed to the limit, and after speeding up to get rid of Liu Wei's follow-up defense, he rushed to the Shanghai team to make an easy layup.
42:57
At the beginning of the second half, the Guangdong team's offense gradually picked up, and in the subsequent offense, Guangdong's Singleton and Zhu Fangyu each hit a goal, and Brooks made consecutive jumpers in front of Liu Wei.
For the Shanghai team, only Landry scored only 2 points with a basket.
50:59
Three minutes into the second half, the Guangdong team launched a wave of 12:2 attacks to chase the score to within 10 points.
"Toot" Shanghai team asked for a timeout.
"Look, this is the terrible thing about the Guangdong team, if you are not careful, the score will soon catch up, and the Guangdong team is about to turn over" Mr. Zhang Weiping explained with a smile.
"Let's see how the Shanghai team responds, at the home of the Shanghai team, it's not so easy for the Guangdong team to turn the tables?" Yang Yi is very optimistic about the Shanghai team.
After the pause, the Shanghai team set sail again with the loud cheers of the audience.
Liu Wei controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and the tall and strong ran over from the side.
With the help of tall and strong, Liu Wei threw off Brooks' heel defense and cut into the basket, and Zhu Fangyu of the Guangdong team immediately changed his defense to keep an eye on Liu Wei.
The tall and strong one leaned sideways to block Brooks, followed by a reverse pass and ran to the basket.
"Not good" Brooks secretly said no, and immediately followed behind the tall man and withdrew to the basket.
At this time, Liu Wei, who was entangled with Zhu Fangyu, made a return pass and stuffed the ball straight into the tall and strong hands of the empty cut under the basket.
With a "snap", the tall and strong hands jumped up to grab the flying basketball, and continued to fly towards the basket with the remaining momentum.
"Empty pick-up? No," Brooks on the side picked up his arm and hit the tall ball handler hard when it was obviously too late to block.
At the same time as the whistle blew, there was a "clang", and the tall man still smashed the ball into the basket after being hit hard by Brooks.
"Foul on the thug," the referee said with a remote finger pointing at Brooks.
"Oh" The fans cheered, at this time, the tall and strong whole person hung on the basket, enjoying the cheers of the fans, and the tall and strong dunk made the entire Yuanshen Stadium boil.
"Brush" tall and strong plus penalty hits.
50:62
The tall and strong attack stabilized the situation on the field.
The Guangdong team served quickly, and the ball was passed to Brooks again.
Just as Brooks was advancing with the ball, Tall and Strong appeared in front of Brooks.
"Heh, it's changed, the Shanghai team really still uses Tall and Strong to keep an eye on Brooks, Tall and Strong also has good speed, and he has better strength than Brooks," Yang Yi said excitedly.
Although the tall and strong man stood in front of him, when Brooks attacked, he never considered who the defender was, and the tall and strong dunk just now deeply stimulated Brooks.
Brooks, whose eyes were red, faced the tall and strong defense, desperately using his speed to rush to the basket.
Although Brooks relied on his excellent ball handling skills to get to the basket smoothly, he could avoid tall and strong blocks when he made layups, and he had too much power and high arcs when he made layups.
"When" the ball bounced out of the basket, the tall and strong one snatched the rebound, and after landing on the ground, one reflexively threw the ball to the frontcourt.
Harris, another "sharp knife" of the Shanghai team in front, quickly counterattacked after receiving the ball, and quickly made a layup to score another 2 points.
50:64
Ten seconds later, the Guangdong team missed the attack again, and Landry grabbed the defensive rebound and quickly passed the ball to Gao Dazhuang.
After receiving the ball, the tall and strong continued to shake and flash Zhu Fangyu, and then quickly hit the Guangdong basket, and after forcing a layup to attract the attention of Singleton and other Guangdong players, he passed the ball to Harris, who followed up behind him.
Harris hand for an easy layup.
50:66
"Pretty" Tall and Strong and Harris excitedly high-fived each other under the basket of the Guangdong team.
"Run, run, what are you eating?" Li Chunjiang, the head coach of the Guangdong team, blushed and scolded the players on the sidelines.
"Brushed" a jump shot by veteran Zhu Fangyu made Coach Li Chunjiang's face look a little better.
But soon after Gao Dazhuang cooperated with Liu Wei with a block, he misplaced and singled Brooks.
After the continuous squeezing forced Brooks to retreat continuously, the tall and strong suddenly took a step back, quickly pulled away from Brooks, and jumped directly.
However, the tall and strong did not choose to shoot, but threw the ball with both hands to Landry, who was in an excellent position on the inside.
"Drink," Landry yelled, jumped high and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands in his hands.
There was a loud bang, and Landry dunked.
52:68
Gao Dazhuang's three consecutive assists allowed the Shanghai team to extend their advantage again.
"Defense" reminded his teammates loudly, "Defense, defense" The momentum of the entire Shanghai team is like a rainbow.
However, Gao Dazhuang did not wait for the crazy counterattack of the Guangdong team, and in the next attack, the Guangdong team made another mistake, and Brooks had a fierce quarrel with Wang Shipeng after the mistake.
Seeing this situation, the gloomy face of Coach Li Chunjiang of the Guangdong team replaced the two of them off the court.
The Shanghai team is playing steadily under the tall and strong organization.
59:82
At the end of the third quarter, the Shanghai team led the defending champion by 23 points.
After 3 minutes of the game in the fourth quarter, the Guangdong team removed Zhu Fangyu, Su Wei, Singleton and other main players from the game.
"Oh, the Guangdong team gave up this game, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that in the first playoffs, the Shanghai team relied on the home team to defeat the defending champion Guangdong team, and it was a bloodless three quarters to force the Guangdong team to disarm" Mr. Zhang Weiping shook his head and commented.
"But the Shanghai team deserved this victory, the Guangdong team mainly lost to themselves, as the team's top scorer - Brooks played extremely badly in this game, scoring only 15 points in total, half of his average of 30 points per game in the regular season, and the Guangdong team's defense of the score in this game also had a big problem, so that the Shanghai team at this time the shooting rate was as high as 60%, which is obviously very abnormal," Yang Yi continued.
Soon, the Shanghai team also replaced all the main forces, Zhai Yi and Yang Kai appeared on the stage of the playoffs for the first time, but Zhai Yi, who was too excited, did not score a point, but Yang Kai played very steadily and invested two three-pointers.
In the end, the Shanghai team sat at home and defeated the visiting defending champion Guangdong team with a 108-88, 20-point advantage in the cheers of the fans, and seized the opportunity in the playoffs with three wins in five games.
The Shanghai team scored more than 20 points, and Liu Wei, the captain of the team who returned from injury, contributed 22 points in the game, including 5 of 6 three-point shots; Harris scored 28 points and shot equally well on 10-of-17 shooting; The MVP of the game was awarded to Gao Dazhuang, who contributed 20 points, 16 assists, and 7 rebounds in the game.
"Da Zhuang, play too well", "Da Zhuang, the game is too exciting", "Da Zhuang ......" As soon as the game ended, Gao Dazhuang was surrounded by everyone from Hunan University, and it was always exciting to defeat a strong opponent.
