Chapter 98 Defeating the Defending Champion
Ying Xiong came over with a dribble and picked and rolled Thompson in the high post.Wang Lei and Mo Ke were afraid of Ying Xiong's breakthrough, so they didn't dare to switch defenses.Unexpectedly, with the help of a single block, Ying Xiong directly pulled up high and made a 3-point shot——

This really surprised Wang Lei, because Ying Xiong hadn't scored a 3-pointer before, and he was still 4 points behind at this time. He thought that Ying Xiong would sink down and hit the success rate...

"Shua—" The goal was scored very simply and aggressively!If Li Nan's 3-pointer made the Bayi team members take a breather, then Ying Xiong's 3-pointer made the Bayi team members suffocate again.

Wang Zhongguang came over with a dribble, and after doing all kinds of screens, he gave it to Li Nan who ran out.But Li Nan's magic was not there, and he missed the 3-pointer!

Ying Xiong received his 10th personal rebound in the game, and then went straight to the frontcourt, used a powerful dribble to throw away defenders, and finally made a layup with a change of hand!
Overtake!Director Ah's Jiang finally couldn't sit still and asked for a timeout.He couldn't wait any longer. If he went on like this, the game would be accepted by his opponent if he couldn't hit the critical moment.At that time, there is no point in pausing and keeping it.

The players of the Bayi team all looked helpless. They couldn't figure out why the young players who played so-so in the first half were so fierce in the fourth quarter?No one knew the answer. The double-digit lead was gone in an instant, and they were still behind!This is a great psychological blow to a champion team.

Director Ah's Jiang didn't say too many tactical things. He knew that the players wouldn't listen to what he said about tactics now.He kept encouraging the players, telling everyone not to be depressed, not to be discouraged, the game is far from over.

After a timeout, the Bayi team attacked.Wang Lei, as Wang Zhizhi, was not the core of the team's perimeter offense. He stormed the basket and caused Zhang Nan's thug foul.

Wang Lei got to the free throw line, but unfortunately, he missed two free throws...

Thompson accepted the rebound and handed it to Ying Xiong to advance.

Ying Xiong came over with a dribble and controlled the rhythm at the top of the arc.Thompson came up for the pick-and-roll, and Ying Xiong made another strong breakthrough with the ball, attracting the defensive attention of many people on the strong side.Everyone thought that he felt hot at this time and would continue to attack personally.Unexpectedly, he suddenly raised his hand and passed the ball to Yu Junkai who was outside the 3-point line on the weak side.

"Ah——" the Bayi fans in the stands held their mouths in surprise, because there was no one around 3 meters away from Junkai when the three-pointer hit.

This kind of 3-point shooting has as much space as a training shot.Naturally, Yu Junkai would not miss such a good opportunity, and Zhang Shou scored 3 points.

The Guangsha team led by 4 points!
Here, the Bayi team made another pass error, was intercepted by Yin Kui, and assigned to Ying Xiong for a fast break.

Ying Xiong took the ball to the penalty area for a strong kill, and after attracting the defense, he was assigned to Yin Kui who was outside the 3-point line on the right.After receiving the ball, Yin Kui opened his hand and hit a 3-pointer!
The point difference widened to 7 points!
Director Ah's Jiang can only ask for a timeout again!This is the last timeout for the Bayi team in this game. For Director Ah, he doesn't even care about whether there will be a timeout later.Because if there is no timeout, the game is likely to collapse completely, and he can see that the mentality of the players on the court has been out of balance.

In stark contrast, the Guangsha team is full of momentum, and several outside players feel hot.It feels like how to vote.

Back from the timeout, Wang Zhongguang dribbled the ball, and after a while at the top of the arc, he distributed the ball to Moko.In the first half, Moko, who had a very high outside shooting percentage, made a 3-point shot-the ball didn't touch the frame...

Ying Xiong took the ball and went all the way in the backcourt.As he accelerated forward like a violent motorcycle, the members of the Bayi team were already in a state of being beaten up, like wooden stakes, unable to stop Ying Xiong's progress at all.I saw him all the way to the basket, holding the ball with one hand, leaping high, fully stretched, and a powerful tomahawk dunk, completely sealing the victory of the game.

The fans of the Bayi team couldn't bear to see the team being so devastated by a young man under the age of 20, so they looked elsewhere.And the players on the field of the Bayi team seemed to have lost their souls, and they really wanted to find a way to get in.

In the end, the Guangsha team in the away game reversed and won 92:82, giving their opponents their first defeat of the season.Ying Xiong played the second half, scored 18 points in the fourth quarter, scored 30 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Wang Fei, the coach of Guangsha, was very excited and couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, with a smile on his face.Today, he led a group of raw melon eggs to beat the defending champion and the league leader Bayi team in an away game.This victory is very morale-boosting, injecting a burst of energy into the players of the Guangsha team, making them believe that they have the strength to beat any team in the league.

After the game, Guangsha coach Wang Fei said in an interview that the players performed very well in this game and implemented the tactical intentions arranged by the coaching staff very well, especially Ying Xiong, who stood up when the team needed to score the most. .

Bayi coach Ah De Jiang said that the team did not respond enough to the opponent's changes in the fourth quarter. When the opponent was chasing points, there was a big problem in their own offense. After the opponent's morale was boosted, they could not restrain it.He also praised Ying Xiong of the Guangsha team, saying his performance was "phenomenal".

After the game, Ying Xiong also accepted the reporter's interview. During the interview, he was very modest and attributed all the credit to the coach and teammates. This made the female reporter who interviewed him feel good about this modest and handsome guy.

After this game, all kinds of news came out on the Internet: most people were surprised that the newly promoted Guangsha team last season was reborn this season and their strength increased greatly.Of course, there are also some people who believe that the Bayi team lacked the team's star player-Wang Zhizhi in this game, and the No. 25 young defender Ying Xiong of the Guangsha team played exceptionally well.However, most people still praise Ying Xiong more than demeaning him. After all, his outstanding performance has been more than one time. Although the sample size is not too large, there are indeed many fewer "experts" who say that he is short-lived.

The Guangsha team reversed and won this game. The happiest thing is the management of Guangsha.They are very fortunate that they signed Yingxiong at the beginning, and they are also very fortunate to reuse him this season, giving him enough space to show his talent.It is because of the boldness and courage of the management that it has now paid off.

The Guangsha team management is currently losing patience with the team's foreign aid center Collins, and has begun to look for new foreign aid candidates.They believe that the current team is not in the strongest state. When the new foreign aid is in place, they will join forces with Ying Xiong, who is constantly improving, and let those traditional strong teams try their best in the playoffs (with confidence to make it).

After the Guangsha team won this game, they achieved their first consecutive away victory this season.Next, they will continue their away trip and will challenge the Fujian team in the last away game of their three-game streak.

3 consecutive away games have won two consecutive victories, which makes the Guangsha team very relaxed up and down, and their mentality is very stable.After the first training session of the Fujian team, Wang Fei found Ying Xiong and communicated with him.

"The performance in the last game was very good, keep working hard!" Director Wang Fei opened the conversation.

Ying Xiong nodded and said solemnly: "I still have a long way to go, and I haven't achieved any results yet. I won't be complacent coach!"

Wang Fei smiled with satisfaction and said, "Humility is a good thing. I believe you can become the best player." He paused, and then said, "Have you ever played with Shao Ziqiang?"

Ying Xiong was a little surprised at Wang Fei's sudden question, nodded immediately, and said truthfully: "He is the coach of my high school basketball team. I played under him for two years. In the first half of this year, I was still training with his college basketball team. for several months."

Wang Feidao: "Ziqiang is a high-level basketball coach and a well-known basketball expert in China. He is an old friend of mine. We have known each other for almost 20 years."

Ying Xiong didn't interrupt, and asked Wang Fei to continue talking.

"At the beginning, I couldn't understand why he declined the position of the head coach of the CBA club, gave up being a basketball commentator, and returned to his hometown to be a high school basketball coach. It was difficult for me to understand at that time, but now I understand him somewhat. People have different ideas and pursue different things, not everyone pursues fame and wealth. He is a family-oriented person, and he is also indifferent to fame and fortune!" Wang Feiru said.

Ying Xiong said: "I couldn't understand how someone as famous as him would be willing to be a basketball coach in a high school. After talking with him, I understood him somewhat."

Wang Fei looked at the stands of the arena, and said slowly: "He has this kind of personality. He will not be persuaded by anyone. He must love basketball. I have never seen many people like him. Love basketball like that. Ying Xiong, you are one of them!"

Ying Xiong smiled and said, "Maybe it's because he thinks I love basketball as much as he does, so he takes so much care of me!"

"Very likely. He has contacted me." Wang Fei said.

"Coach Shao Ziqiang?" Ying Xiong asked.

"Well, he contacted me two days ago and also talked about your situation. He knows you very well, admires you very much, and said that you are the smartest and most outstanding student he has ever taught!" Wang Fei narrated.

Ying Xiong smiled and said, "I'm very honored!"

"I decided to let you play number 4 after talking with him on the phone!" Wang Fei said, looking into Ying Xiong's eyes.

Ying Xiong suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

Wang Fei nodded and said: "He told me that you have an excellent sense of position, you can play 5 positions, and you can play in any position on the court. At first I thought you could play from position 1 to position 3 at most. I never thought of letting you play the 4th position. I let you play the starting 1st position because I want to give full play to your organizational skills. Now it seems that I don’t know enough about you. In the next game, I will play The right time will let you take another position, I hope you are ready!"

Ying Xiong nodded solemnly and said, "Coach, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

Wang Fei said seriously: "Ying Xiong, to tell you the truth, my goal for this season is not to enter the playoffs, but to go higher!"

Ying Xiong looked into his eyes and said, "Me too!" The two didn't speak after that, they looked at each other and smiled.
