The older superstars of the NBA

Wukesong Basketball Stadium.

The Chinese Men’s Basketball Team plays against the Philippine Men’s Basketball Team.

There were many fans at the venue, and one-third of the seats that had been absent before were finally filled. Fans seemed to have rekindled their expectations for the China Men's Basketball Team. Many people came holding small flags to cheer for their home team.

Although many people came, the fans didn't seem too enthusiastic!

This is not their fault, just because the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team is the Philippine team. Since the Chinese men's basketball team failed in the last game, the Philippine team has been a pain in the hearts of fans.

In the past, the two sides were not opponents at the same level. Let alone losing, even if the Chinese men's basketball team only sent the second team, the Philippines team could be in trouble.

Now Jordan Clarkson, the outside core of the Philippine men's basketball team, is not here, but he can compete with the Chinese men's basketball team. The gap is simply speechless.

Zhao Feiyang stood on the sidelines watching the game, looking at the opponent's lineup and his own lineup, and seeing the highlights of the last warm-up match between the two sides broadcast on the big screen, Zhao Feiyang couldn't help but sigh.

"Ugh!"

"It's such a big difference! The Huaxia Men's Basketball Team seems to have started to decline since Yao Ming retired... It could barely maintain it when Yi Jianlian was here, but when Yi Jianlian also left, it is now considered a complete collapse... ..”

"The team learns European basketball today and American basketball tomorrow. Often one style will change to another before it adapts to the next game...The head coaches are also constantly changing, from foreign coaches to local coaches. Coach..."

"Let alone the Chinese men's basketball team, even if the NBA club does this, it will be difficult to achieve results..."

On the team bench, head coach Denzel is arranging tactics with the players.

After a simple adjustment, coach Denzel also encouraged the young people. His Chinese was pretty good, so he didn't need a translator to get involved.

"The loss in the last game was a huge shame for us! Do you know? They don't even have a star in their lineup...the strongest one is the naturalized foreign aid Jeffrey... ..”

"Except for him, the other players on the Philippine team are not as good as you in terms of strength, but we lost in the end...Have you ever thought about what the problem is?"

"The team's enthusiasm and cooperation are on the one hand, but more importantly, you didn't trust your teammates before, and many people are rushing for the limelight. I don't want this to continue to happen..."

Coach Denzel's words also attracted the attention of the players. Many people nodded one after another, indicating that they understood what Coach Denzel meant.

call out.

The referee's whistle sounded and the players from both sides took the stage.

The Huaxia Men's Basketball Team continues with the previous starting lineup.

The Philippine team has not changed either. They arranged the lineup the same way they arranged the last game. The core of the team is still the naturalized player Jeffrey. He is not an NBA player. He has only played in the European League for a period of time and is not even the main player of the club.

Now he is just a wandering player!

But such an inconspicuous opponent scored 26 points against the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team. Not only did he lead the team to defeat the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, he also personally beat the guards of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team. Lu Yunlei, who was responsible for controlling the ball, was intercepted twice by him while dribbling the ball. Cao Yue, who was playing in the second position, was even more intercepted by him. Hatred twice.

The two sides walked to the court again, and after taking their positions, the referee threw the ball up.

Snapped.

The Huaxia Men's Basketball Team was the first to win the ball. Zhou Xinpeng slapped the ball out and the basketball fell into the hands of defender Cao Yue.

Cao Yue gave the ball to Lu Yunlei, who drove the ball towards the half court.

As soon as he passed, the opponent's core defender Jeffrey immediately followed closely.

Lu Yunlei had a very good reputation before, especially in this kind of one-on-one ball. He likes to control the ball and stick to it. He will never pass the ball easily. Instead, he will find a way to fight with Jeffrey, trying to get away by shaking it off. Let the opponent prove that his dribbling is awesome!

This time, Lu Yunlei didn't dare to do that!

He was not afraid of Coach Denzel's nagging, but Zhao Feiyang's cold and serious expression as he sat on the team bench showed no intention of letting him continue to stick to the ball.

Snapped.

The basketball was given to Cao Yue.

Cao Yue, who got the ball, did not rush to take action, but signaled Tang Yijie inside to respond. Tang Yijie decisively stepped in to pick and roll, and Cao Yue, who seized the opportunity, took advantage of the opportunity and rushed into the two zones.

The Filipino inside players hurriedly came out to cover, and one player was still staring at Tang Yijie. He, like other Filipino players, thought that Tang Yijie would break up and rush to the basket.

They are wrong!

Tang Yijie did not do this. When Cao Yue rushed into the two zones, Zhou Xinpeng, who ran into the basket from the wing position, became Cao Yue's target to transfer the ball.

Tang Yijie is just a bait, used to deceive and interfere with the other party's judgment.

Snapped.

Zhou Xinpeng, who was receiving the ball, had not yet stood still. With the help of this pass, he got the basketball and dunked it firmly into the basket.

Zhou Xinpeng's dunk was not explosive, and was even a little "literary", but his performance still aroused shouts and screams from the fans.

"nice shot!"

"That's right! Strikers should dunk! Why not dunk? People in the NBA require dunking, so why is it different in the CBA? You shouldn't learn good things! Physical problems can definitely be solved... .”

Zhou Xinpeng, who scored a goal, not only won applause, but also regained the expectations of the fans.

In the VIP viewing room in the background, Zhou Guoqiang, vice chairman of the Basketball Association, was leading a group of old friends from the Sports Bureau to watch the game.

When he saw his nephew come up and end the battle with a dunk, Zhou Guoqiang suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Look! This is my incompetent nephew... When did this kid learn to dunk? Even I don't know..."

"Thanks to our team having a good assistant coach. If Zhao Feiyang hadn't personally guided him, I'm afraid this kid wouldn't be able to play so well..."

"Old guys, this young man Zhao Feiyang is pretty good! He has done a lot for the national team and personally trained the players. With young people like this around, we will have someone to take over when we retire in the future... ....”

Zhou Guoqiang made no secret of his admiration for Zhao Feiyang.

It was the Philippines' turn to serve.

It was the opponent's core defender Jeffrey who advanced with the ball.

He got the ball and passed halftime quickly. When he was preparing for a single as he did before, Li Yuhang on the wing had already stepped up, and Cao Yue on the side also occupied a favorable position, ready to double-team at any time.

Lu Yunlei maintained a defensive posture and stared at the basketball in Jeffrey's hand.

Even though three people interfered, Jeffrey still did not choose to pass the ball. He signaled for his teammates to come up to cover. When his teammates helped him fend off Lu Yunlei, Jeffrey took advantage of the situation and dribbled directly past Cao Yue and Li Yuhang.

He moved quickly and reached the free throw line in a blink of an eye. Before the Chinese men's basketball team could come out to defend, Jeffrey jumped up and shot the ball decisively.

Swish.

A two-point ball hit the basket steadily.
