From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 20 Tenacious XJ
Guangdong team 45:29 XJ team.

The game continued, and the XJ team did not feel frustrated because of the point difference. Instead, they played more methodically than at the beginning.

After Jianghu played, Zhou Qi did not choose to forcefully confront Jianghu. Instead, he kept covering and picking and rolling for his teammates, desperately fighting for rebounds on the defensive end, and helping the team advance in a slightly blue-collar way.

Zhou Qi’s attitude is generally okay when he is playing. Although he and Guo Ailun were often criticized as leaders inside and outside the national team in the later period, Zhou Qi was generally accused of poor skills or poor physical confrontation, but no one Accusing him of having a problematic attitude, Zhou Qi has always been serious about his playing attitude, and even occasionally looks a little desperate.

In the second quarter, Jianghu's hand feeling declined slightly. In addition to the strict defense of the XJ team, he only got 7 shots in the second quarter and made 3 hits, two of which were three-pointers.

Although he didn't feel good, he still sent a lot of assists, helping Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu from the outside, Zhao Rui and others made three-pointers.

At the end of halftime, 67-60, in the second quarter, Guangdong's sparring was not bad, but the overall state of the XJ team was good. They hit 8 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 42 points. The lead of the Guangdong team was lost by the XJ team. Cannibalized to 7 points.

The state of basketball players has its ups and downs, and it is impossible to maintain a top-of-the-table state forever, even the great basketball god is no exception, let alone young players like Jianghu.

However, even though the performance in the second quarter was very average, Jianghu still scored 37 points and 6 assists at the end of the half.

37+6 in the half of the finals. Since the establishment of the CBA, no one has ever achieved it except Yao Ming.

"Adams' nigga shoots pretty hard!!"

"You better say basketball!!"

"Haha, you old pervert!!"

During the intermission, the Guangdong team's locker room once again resumed laughter.

Even after being chased down to 7 points, the players of the Guangdong team are still very relaxed, and they still joke around without any worries.

Because after the last game, the problem that everyone was worried about "can't compete with the XJ team head-on without foreign aid" no longer exists at this time.

Yi Jianlian still plays a stable role as the magic needle of Dinghai, while Jianghu has become a stimulant for other players of the Guangdong team.

Seeing Jianghu scoring every goal with fiery touch, even though he didn't want to admit it, after three games, every Guangdong player has put Jianghu, who is only 18 years old, in the same position as Yi Jianlian in his heart.

On the court, they only need to do a good job of defense, and there are rivers and lakes on the offensive end.

If Jianghu needs to cover them, they will go up, if Jianghu needs to open up space, they will stand in the bottom corner, if Jianghu misses, he will continue to grab offensive rebounds, because he has proved in the past two games: He will not always miss shots.

Even Zeng Fanri and Ren Junfei, who have had problems with Jianghu, will still go all out on the court. Although they are indeed inferior in ability, there is no problem with their attitude. After all, they are all players from the Guangdong youth training. The grievances are placed above the interests of the team.

Everyone is an adult, and when they can see the hope of winning the championship, no one will have trouble with money.

The bonus of 38 yuan for the starter and 20 yuan for the substitute is only a small amount. The real big amount is the team championship bonus issued by the league, which is 2500-3000 million yuan. On average, every player on the team can get more than 100 million yuan.

To put it bluntly, playing in the same team and competing with each other, there is no deep hatred, and making money comes first.

Only those who are close in strength will quarrel, if the difference in strength is too large, they will not be able to quarrel...

It is impossible to really have a big conflict like in the NBA...

Intermission ends and the second half continues.

Head coach Du Feng announced a decision in the locker room at halftime, that is, mentioning the small forward in Jianghu's position.

At the same time, the distribution of all ball rights is determined by Jianghu. The point guard only needs to take the ball across the half court and then hand it over to Jianghu.

Coach Du Feng is not a fool either. He can also see that Jianghu's ability to control movement is not at the same level as other players in the Guangdong team or even all the players in the audience. on top.

The players did not object, and Jianghu gained more power in the second half.

The first goal of the second half was initiated by the XJ team.

Like Jianghu against XJ, Adams has an absolute advantage against all players in Guangdong. Neither Zhao Rui nor Zhou Peng can compare with him in terms of speed.

Their defense can only be to take a step, and then pray that Adams doesn't feel good.

Unfortunately, their prayers did not bear fruit. As soon as the second half started, Adams once again threw a three-pointer against Zhao Rui's defense.

63-67, the XJ team chased the score to 4 points, which made the players of the Guangdong team nervous.

The XJ team extended the score to four points. Coach Li Chunjiang finally looked better. He felt that the current XJ should have slowly found the feeling.

But is this really the case?
"Next round, hand him over to me, and I'll take care of him!!" Jianghu pulled Zhao Rui to his ear, and took the initiative to bear the heaviest burden on him.

The reason why the XJ team is still in the game is that apart from Zhou Qi's good performance against Zeng Fanri in the second quarter, Adams' performance is the most fundamental.

He is like Kobe Bryant and Jordan James in the CBA. When the tactics fail, he forces a round.

This is the role of foreign aid. Adams, a player who can't play at all in the NBA, can kill casually in the CBA.

But, it doesn't matter! !Because Jiang Hu will make a move.

Although Jianghu is not good at the defensive end, his height and wingspan and his moving speed are enough to block any outside players in the CBA.

On the land of his own country, he absolutely does not allow others to be better than him.

The Guangdong team started to attack, and after halftime, the ball came to Jianghu's hands.

Abdul Saramu, who came off the bench, started to steal Jianghu, but was passed by him in one step, breaking through the inside and making a burst dunk.

Guangdong 69-63XJ.

The cheers that the fans had just quieted down sounded again, and the atmosphere of the home court returned in an instant.

Back on the defensive end, Jianghu started to defend Adams directly from the backcourt.

Adams tried to break through, but soon found that his speed could not pass Jianghu at all. Jianghu's steals made him flustered, and he almost violated the 8-second violation.

In this round, Adams called two consecutive pick-and-rolls at the three-point line and the free throw line, but he didn't get rid of Jianghu. His wingspan couldn't make a strong shot over Jianghu's head. In the end, he had no choice but to hand over the ball and let his teammates solve it. question.

Zhou Qi rested for most of the quarter, and the hand feeling cultivated by Zeng Fanri had long since cooled down, and his unguarded mid-range jump shot directly hit the back frame.

For the Guangdong team's round, Guangdong's top priority now is to control the point difference. It must not give the XJ team the opportunity to play several consecutive rounds, otherwise their morale will rise, and the result of the game will not be easy to say.

In order to control the point difference, only defense is not enough, and offense is also necessary. After all, basketball is still a sport of scoring more points.

Jianghu controlled the ball and suddenly made a breakthrough from the three-point line to the inside. Abdul Saramu, who had just been passed by Jianghu in the last round, was like a frightened bird. He retreated quickly to prevent the same thing from happening again.

Just as Jiang Hu's right foot stepped into the three-point line, Abdul Saramu immediately retreated a long distance.

At this moment, Jianghu decisively chose to step back and shoot a three-pointer! !
"Shu~"

Then scored a three-pointer, Jianghu scored his ninth three-pointer in this field.
