Chapter 91

The second quarter started, Ying Xiong came on the field and continued to lead the second team as in the previous game.At this time, the Guangsha team's field lineup is: Collins, Li Meng, Jia Nan, Zhang Nan, Ying Xiong; the Jiangsu team's field lineup is: Lahei Brown, Yi Li, Liu Yahui, Yang Li, Hu Xuefeng.

Hu Xuefeng came over with a dribble, and it was Jia Nan who defended him.With the help of cover, Hu Xuefeng suddenly separated and easily established.Yi Li holds the ball, encounters Ying Xiong's strict defense, has no room to break through, and distributes the ball to Yang Li on the outside.Yang Li made a 3-point shot - missed!
The rebound was taken by Collins and handed over to Ying Xiong to advance.Ying Xiong pushed forward and Liu Yahui came to defend.Li Meng stepped up to cover for Ying Xiong, and the opponent switched defenses.Ying Xiong decisively broke through Liu Yahui with the ball.Liu Yahui's speed obviously couldn't keep up with Ying Xiong, so he was forced to choose to pull a foul.

Ying Xiong received a pass from Zhang Nan, and with the help of Li Meng's cover, he hit the ground to Collins in the low post.Collins singled out Lahei Brown in the low post.The big foreign aid of the Jiangsu team is relatively slender, thinner than Thompson of the Guangsha team, and his weight cannot be compared with Collins.Collins arched to the basket in a few hits, and scored a tough 2+1!

Collins made a free throw and the score was chased to 23:30. The Guangsha team was temporarily behind by 7 points.

Here, Yi Li missed a 3-pointer, Ying Xiong accepted the long rebound, and quickly pushed forward with the ball to counterattack.Thanks to the quick footsteps inside, the Jiangsu team returned to defense very quickly, and soon returned to their own half.On the Guangsha team, Collins and Li Meng were heavier and couldn't keep up with Ying Xiong's fast down. As a result, Ying Xiong didn't play more and less in the frontcourt, but fell into a situation of playing less and more.

Ying Xiong didn't force his way to the attack, and took back his steps to control the rhythm at the top of the arc.

After Collins was about to get a position under the basket, Ying Xiong gave a lob to Collins in the low post.Collins played Lahei Brown with ease and pleasure, turned around and attacked, and scored again at the basket.

The point difference was narrowed to 5 points!At this time, the Guangsha fans in the stands regained their vitality and began to cheer for the home team.

Hu Xuefeng dribbled over, and with the help of Lahei Brown's pick-and-roll, he made a 3-pointer—hit!At the critical moment, the Jiangsu team relied on Hu Xuefeng's 3 points to pull the point difference back to 8 points.

Director Wang Fei was very angry that Collins always stayed under the basket and didn't care whether the opponent's outside shots were accurate or not.But considering that Collins can get whatever he wants on the offensive end, it is inconvenient to replace him at this time, otherwise his confidence will be too much hit, and his team's offense will also be interrupted.

Here, Yingxiong dribbles over and hands it to Collins in the low post.Collins forced Lahei Brown and was double-teamed by his opponent.Collins didn't score the ball, and the opponent cut the ball out of bounds.

Staff adjustments were made on the sidelines: for the Guangsha team, Thompson replaced Collins, and Yu Junkai replaced Jia Nan; for the Jiangsu team, Tang Zhengdong replaced Lahei Brown, Ryan Kelly replaced Liu Yahui, and Zhang Cheng replaced Yang Li.

Zhang Nan served from the baseline, a bottom-line ball tactic, and gave it to Yu Junkai who was open, and the latter scored 2 points with a jumper.

27:33!The Guangsha team fell behind by 6 points.

Hu Xuefeng dribbled the ball and gave it to Ryan Kelly.Ryan Kelly hit Ying Xiong in singles, and made an emergency stop jump shot after changing direction-missed, and the rebound was controlled by Li Meng.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble and gave it to Yu Junkai.Yu Junkai and Zhang Nan handed each other to the low position Thompson.Thompson singled Tang Zhengdong, took advantage of his footwork, and made a layup!
29:33, the point difference narrowed to 4 points!
Here Hu Xuefeng made a beautiful goal, and Zhang Cheng hit a 3-pointer!The point difference widened to 7 points.In this way, the two teams have been in a stalemate, but the Guangsha team just couldn't narrow the point difference.The Jiangsu team's 3-pointer today was very accurate, and of course it also benefited from Tang Zhengdong's advantage in the interior. Except for Collins, no one in the Guangsha team could match him.

At the end of the first half, the Guangsha team was 48 points behind the Jiangsu team at 56:8.Ying Xiong played the entire second quarter, and his performance was very mediocre, scoring only 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

From the first minute of this game, the Guangsha team has never taken the lead, and they have not even appeared in a tie. They have been pressed by their opponents, which makes the Guangsha team members very frustrated.Tang Zhengdong, as a domestic inside player, played like a foreign aid, calling the shots and calling the wind and rain in the Guangsha team's inside line, eating and drinking.The outside shooter of the Jiangsu team is too accurate in this game. As long as Tang Zhengdong is double-teamed, the possibility of scoring a 1-pointer from the outside by him is very high.

The home team was beaten by the opponent, and the fans were holding their breath.Although we know that the strength of the Jiangsu team is very strong, the strength shown by the team on the field should be more than that.The fans are still not giving up. The difference of 8 points is not big, and there are still two full quarters. As long as they play well in the second half, they will definitely be able to catch up and even overtake.

In the second half of the game, the Guangsha team made adjustments. Coach Wang Fei replaced Thompson with Collins, and Yu Liang replaced Yao Peng.As for the Jiangsu team, the lineup remained unchanged, and Hu Xuefeng, who performed bravely in the first half, was still sitting on the bench.

The Guangsha team's first attack on Zhang Nan in the second half ended with a walk.

Here Han Shuo dribbles over and passes the ball to Zhang Cheng.Tang Zhengdong wanted a position on the inside, and he and Collins were fiercely stuck... In order to grab the position, the two had frequent physical contact and made great moves.The referee immediately called a foul on both sides.

Han Shuo sent a throw-in to Fang Hui, and Fang Hui passed the ball to Ryan Kelly.Under Ying Xiong's defense, it was difficult for Ryan Kelly to break through easily, so he directly chose an outside 3-point shot-the ball missed!The rebound was grabbed by Yu Liang and passed to Zhang Nan to advance.

Zhang Nan wants to speed up, but the ball hits his feet and goes out of bounds...

The Jiangsu team sent the ball out of bounds, and Ryan Kelly got the ball and gave it to Han Shuo's organization.Han Shuo hung to the insider Tang Zhengdong.Tang Zhengdong hit Collins with his back.He squeezed a few times, feeling the opponent's strong strength and a weight comparable to his own, but he didn't carry it.He had no choice but to turn around and throw a small throw-the ball went out of the frame.Collins aggressively accepted the rebound and handed it to Ying Xiong to advance.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, screened and rolled with Yu Liang, rushed to the inside and gave it to Collins, who followed up, and the latter hit Tang Zhengdong with a throw!
At 52:58, the point difference narrowed to 6 points. 6 points seems to be a hurdle. Every time the Guangsha team chased 6 points in the first half, they were quickly pulled away by their opponents.

Here Tang Zhengdong missed Collins again in a single, and Collins had another rebound.Ying Xiong and Collins set a pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Collins who was running down, causing Tang Zhengdong's thug to foul.Collins made 2 free throws, and the point difference was reduced to only 4 points.The Jiangsu team requested a timeout!

After a timeout, Hu Xuefeng of the Jiangsu team replaced Han Shuo.

Hu Xuefeng came over with a dribble, Tang Zhengdong didn't take a position in the paint, but came up to pick and roll Hu Xuefeng.Collins did not follow, but stayed in the penalty area.Hu Xuefeng made a one-block screen and made a direct 3-pointer—a hollow hit!
At 54:61, the point difference finally narrowed to 4 points was once again opened to 7 points.

Seeing this situation, the head coach of the Guangsha team, Wang Fei, frowned.What he was most worried about finally appeared.This Collins is a little disobedient, unwilling to follow out to defend, and always likes to shrink under the basket.He called Yu Liang's name, who understood and nodded.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble, one sped up to pass Zhang Cheng, and one hit the ground to Collins.Collins missed the hook, but he shot himself and made a tip-up!Collins is very efficient in offense and has scored in double figures.

Here Hu Xuefeng dribbles over, still picking and rolling with Tang Zhengdong.Collins was still huddled inside.But at this time, Yu Liang followed out, not giving Hu Xuefeng a chance to make an easy move.

Hu Xuefeng is a very flexible defender. Seeing this situation, he immediately saw that Fang Hui, who was defended by Yu Liang, was in a wide open position.He passed the ball to Fang Hui, and the latter made an open 3-pointer after getting the ball—a precise hit!
56:64，分差再一次会扩大到8分。3分比2分多1分，就是这么残酷的现实。而广厦队直到最后，也没能将分差扳回来。

In the end, the Guangsha team lost to their opponents by a big score of 104:120 and failed to usher in a winning streak.Yingxiong played 30 minutes and scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. His performance was average and he failed to lead the team to win the game.

After the game, Guangsha team coach Wang Fei did not accept media interviews.His face was not very good-looking. Some people saw him and the foreign aid Collins having a fierce dispute on the bench.But I don't know the specific situation, I am afraid only the parties will know.

In this game, the Guangsha team seemed somewhat uncomfortable in the face of the Jiangsu team's internal and external offense.When the opponent's outside 3-point shooting rate is close to the 5th floor, he dare not double-team Tang Zhengdong.The unwillingness of foreign aid center Collins to defend is also an important reason for the Guangsha team's loss in this game.

Facing the disappointed eyes of the home audience, Ying Xiong felt very uncomfortable, like being bitten by an ant.His desire for victory is unmatched by anyone.Some people regard playing basketball as a job, at most as a career, but Ying Xiong regards playing basketball as an ideal and a dream.

The Guangsha team ushered in a record of 1 win and 2 losses at the beginning of the season. From the outside world, this seems to be a reasonable thing.The lowest promoted polo team in the league last season, and there are no star-level domestic players in the team, so its own strength is not strong.The three opponents that the Guangsha team faced were all playoff teams last season. The opponents are strong, and if they can win the next game, they have already completed the task.But Wang Fei, the head coach of the Guangsha team, doesn't think so. He is very confident and optimistic about the team's strength and upper limit.In his opinion, the team had hoped to win all three games.Even in the home game against the Jiangsu team, on the surface, it seems that the whole game is behind and has been suppressed.But the team also recovered the double-digit point difference, at least only 3 points behind, and the morale was high at that time, Tang Zhengdong could not beat Collins.If it wasn't for Collins to make the opponent's long-range shots from the outside, he wouldn't be so passive.
