Chapter 210: Grappling
"Whew" was tall and strong and panting in the chair, sweat sliding down his face.
The Guangdong team and the Shanghai team launched a fierce battle in the third battle with the cheers of 6,000 spectators at the scene.
The Guangdong team, which has been broken, changed the defensive strategy of the first two games, and at the beginning of the game, a four-one joint defense posture was put on, and the whole field sent special personnel to follow the defense of Gao Dazhuang, and whenever Gao Dazhuang cut into the inner line, there must be another player to wrap up Gao Dazhuang.
From Zhou Peng to Wang Shipeng, to Liu Xiaoyu, Ren Junfei, and Chen Jianghua, the Guangdong team adopted wheel tactics to deal with tall and strong.
For this reason, the whole first half of the tall and strong consumed a lot of physical strength, and this strategy of the Guangdong team has also achieved certain results.
At 50:40, the Guangdong team ended the first half with a 10-point lead in the score.
Throughout the first half, the tall and strong still contributed 11 points, five assists and four rebounds under the tight defense of the whole court.
"Da Zhuang, I can only give you a 3-minute break, you can use this time to adjust," said Coach Panagio of the Shanghai team, squatting in front of the tall and strong body, patted him on the shoulder.
"Good" Gao Dazhuang wanted to tell the coach that his physical strength was fine, but the words fell on his lips again, and the crazy pressing of the Guangdong team put great pressure on Gao Dazhuang, and he really needed time to rest.
The second half of the game continued, with Landry, Zeng Wending, Wang Yong, Harris and Liu Wei for the Shanghai team, and Singleton, Dong Hanlin, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and Brooks for the Guangdong team.
"Brushing" the Guangdong team scored a layup after a breakthrough by Brooks as soon as it came up in the second half.
52:40
The Shanghai team didn't know how to attack for a while after the tall and strong left the court, and finally had to hand the ball to Harris for a single, but Harris's pull-up jump shot bounced out of the basket.
Soon, the Guangdong team was shot by Zhu Fangyu, and the Shanghai team's offense was unable to open the situation under the active scrambling of the Guangdong team.
Only a minute has passed, Coach Panagio has already looked back at the tall and strong next to him twice, he is very anxious now, very much hope to let the tall and strong go on the field to break the defense of the Guangdong team, but reason tells him to wait.
The Guangdong team launched a counterattack again, and Wang Shipeng made a layup.
54:40
The score was pulled apart.
At this time, the Shanghai team asked for a substitution, Zhai Yishang, replaced Wang Yong, and Coach Panagio hoped to improve the team's defense through substitutions.
Zhai Yi quickly proved himself with his tough performance after coming on the court, and when the referee's whistle blew, Zhai Yi overturned Brooks under the empty basket with one palm.
"Defensive fouls, free throws"
Zhai Yi touched his head embarrassedly, glanced at the coach on the sidelines with his eyes, and unexpectedly Coach Panagio stood on the sidelines and applauded vigorously, and signaled Zhai Yi to do a good job.
"Brush", "brush" Brooks hit both free throws.
In the first three minutes of the second half, the entire Shanghai team only scored one goal by Harris, while the Guangdong team took the opportunity to play a wave of 12:2 attacks.
62:42
The difference between the two sides reached an astonishing 20 points, and countless flags of the Guangdong team in the entire Dongguan Stadium kept swaying in the huge cheers.
"It's been three minutes," the assistant coach of the Shanghai team hurriedly reminded Coach Panagio.
"Yes"
The "Du" Shanghai team was replaced again, tall and strong, replacing Zeng Wending.
When Gao Dazhuang was just about to play, the referee's whistle sounded again, and the Guangdong team also asked for a substitution, Zhou Peng, Zhu Fangyu.
It seems that Coach Li Chunjiang of the Guangdong team is ready to let Zhou Peng stare at the tall and strong all over the field.
Wang Huaiyu, the head coach of the Guangdong youth team, once told Zhou Peng that he, along with Chen Jianghua and Liu Xiaoyu, are the three best young guards in China, and they will definitely be able to occupy a place in Chinese basketball in time.
But when the younger tall and strong appeared, these former domestic "geniuses" were strongly impacted by the tall and strong, especially the last game of tall and strong slashing 50 points, which made Zhou Peng feel landless.
So when the defense was tall and strong today, Zhou Peng did his best, even gave up his offense, and put all his energy into the defensive end, he needed this battle to prove himself.
As soon as the two came on the field, Zhou Peng clinged to Gao Dazhuang's side.
"Squeak" the tall and strong general Zhou Peng in front of him pushed violently, a reverse run, and the moment he got rid of Zhou Peng's defense, captain Liu Wei passed the ball to Gao Dazhuang in time.
After receiving the ball, Gao Dazhuang turned around and wanted to shoot, and at the moment when Zhou Peng pounced, there was a "snap", and Gao Dazhuang changed direction to break through, and then followed by a step-back step and jumped directly.
"Hmph" Zhou Peng has been studying the offensive routine of Gao Dazhuang these days, when Gao Dazhuang shot for the first time, Zhou Peng only pounced on Gao Dazhuang and did not jump, and when Gao Dazhuang attacked for the second time, Zhou Peng gritted his teeth and jumped hard to jump to Gao Dazhuang, trying to interfere with Gao Dazhuang's shot through his height and arm span.
"Not good" Zhou Peng, who had already jumped, suddenly found that his tall and strong figure suddenly became shorter again, it was a feint!
After Gao Dazhuang used two consecutive feints to shake Zhou Peng, he jumped and shot again against Zhou Peng.
The referee's whistle sounded, and Zhou Peng had no choice but to raise his hands helplessly to show that he had not committed a foul.
The tall man who took the initiative to make a foul forcibly threw the ball out when his body was slightly unbalanced, and with a "brush" sound, the ball went into the net.
2+1
As soon as the "good ball" was tall and strong, he activated the momentum of the Shanghai team on the field with a 2+1.
"Leaning" Zhou Peng accompanied his personal fourth foul, in fact, in the first half, in order to curb the play of tall and strong, the Guangdong team's defense was extremely tough.
Zhou Peng had 3 fouls in the half, Wang Shipeng had 3 fouls in the half, Liu Xiaoyu, Ren Junfei, and Chen Jianghua played no more than 10 minutes, but they also got 3 fouls, 2 fouls and 2 fouls respectively, and most of their fouls were given to Gao Dazhuang.
After Gao Dazhuang copied the skills of the three breakthrough masters of Hot Sauce, Irving and Lillard, only fouls could stop Gao Dazhuang for the Guangdong team.
"Brush" tall and strong plus penalty hits.
62:45
"Upper leg, upper leg, jam him, pay attention to the passing ......" Coach Li Chunjiang of the Guangdong team on the sidelines excitedly scolded his players.
"Slap" Gao Dazhuang was pasted by Zhou Peng as soon as he received the ball, and he was already accustomed to this kind of tight defense.
At the moment when the tall and strong entered the penalty area, Wang Shipeng on the flank and Singleton under the basket immediately surrounded him.
But Gao Dazhuang did not flinch in the face of the three-person pinch, jumped high, "drunk" the whole person roared, contracted in the air, slid past Singleton's cover, and slid past him, but Zhou Peng and Wang Shipeng behind Gao Dazhuang followed closely behind him, waiting for Gao Dazhuang to make a move.
"Bang" At this critical moment, the tall and strong shook the ball hard and passed the ball directly.
The "good ball" ball was accurately passed to Harris, who rushed into the penalty area, and Harris took a pick-up after receiving the ball, and with a "brush" sound, he recovered 2 points for the Shanghai team.
62:47
After Gao Dazhuang came on the field, the Shanghai team immediately set off a wave of counterattacks, and with the strong containment of Gao Dazhuang, the Guangdong team's defense of Harris is bound to be lax.
This is the killer feature of the Shanghai team, and the stable performance of the "two sharp knives" ensures the output of the Shanghai team.
A minute later, the tall and strong struck again.
"Peng, Peng, Peng" Tall and Strong and Zhou Peng collided continuously, but Zhou Peng's thin body was obviously not a tall and strong opponent, and a few breaths of tall and strong forcibly squeezed into the paint area.
But at the moment when other players of the Guangdong team came to help defend the tall and strong, with a "snap", Gao Dazhuang hit the ground and passed the ball to Harris who was floating on the periphery again.
Harris pulled out his hand in the face of Brooks, who was misplaced and marked, "brushed", and then went to the next city.
"Oh" Shanghai "Little Yellow Croaker Fan Group" who followed the Shanghai team to the away stadium gave a warm cheer, although in the sea of the Guangdong team's home stadium, their voices still clearly reached the ears of the Shanghai soldiers.
"Toot" as the referee blew the whistle for the end of the third quarter.
After fierce fighting between the two sides, the score was fixed at 82:71
Guangdong continued to maintain a double-digit advantage heading into the fourth quarter.
The active scrambling of the whole field made the physical strength of the players on both sides appear to be overdrawn, but the Guangdong team minimized the impact by virtue of the depth of the lineup, and several veterans of the Shanghai team, such as Liu Wei, Wang Yong, Zeng Wending, etc., were sweating, and Liu Wei was even a little pale.
"Captain" Gao Dazhuang asked with concern, although Liu Wei can't compare with Brooks in terms of speed, and he can't completely limit Brooks's play, but Liu Wei's presence controls the rhythm of the game very well, plays a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, and is definitely an indispensable member of the Shanghai team.
"I'm fine, Da Zhuang, I want to beat them on their home turf," Liu Wei said to Gao Da Zhuang with anticipation.
"Good!"
