Basketball: I'm on the court just to pick up the bottle

During the Xiangjiang training period, the South China Tigers will also have internal competitions with several teams in the Xiangjiang League, maintaining the intensity of a three-day game, and gradually familiarizing the players with various new tactics.

At the end of the month, the club also gave the players two days off for free activities. Li Qiao and Zhou Shan did not bother Zheng Dewen anymore. They walked around the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang like ordinary couples, enjoying the warm world of two people.

Time passed quickly, and it was time for the Hong Kong Cup Invitational Tournament in a blink of an eye. This time, the Hong Kong Sports Bureau and Zheng Group jointly organized the event. The teams invited to participate were also the highest-level teams over the years. The Japanese league Sanfrecce Hiroshima, the Korean league Anyang kgc, the Xiangjiang Bay Area Pterosaurs and the South China Tigers Club.

These four teams are the champions of their respective leagues, especially the Bay Area Pterosaurs are the super giants of Xiangjiang, so they attracted many fans to book tickets, and some fans from overseas also came to support their home team.

This time, the event was held at the Hung Hom Stadium. The four teams took turns to face each other, and finally the championship was determined according to the points. The event was held for six days, with one game every night. After the computer draw, the schedule was also released.

The match between Hiroshima Sanfrecce and Anyang kgc on the first night was very exciting. The two sides fought wits and bravery, and double overtime was staged. In the end, Hiroshima Sanfrecce narrowly won by two points.

The next night was the game between the Pterosaurs of the Bay Area and the South China Tigers, which was also the most popular game. The Pterosaurs of the Bay Area had been playing games on behalf of Xiangjiang before, and this was the first time they returned to their home court in the past three months.

The center Liu Daxing of the Pterosaurs in the Bay Area used to come out of the youth training of the South China Tigers. Later, he was traded to the Double Star Eagles. After the contract expired, he joined the Pterosaurs in the Bay Area.The team also has many former CBA players, namely Zheng Zilong and Si Yongtao.In addition, there is Wu Qi, who is known as Xiangjiang Duncan, and the two foreign players are Lewis and Chris, who have short NBA experience.This team is a new local tyrant team, and usually represents Xiangjiang to go out to participate in various leagues in Southeast Asia.

To warm up before the game, Liu Daxing specially came to the South China Tigers to say hello to the old players. He grew up here before, so he was teammates with many players.

The screen on the field also displayed the starting lineups of the two players. The South China Tigers were still the same as the starting lineup of the previous warm-up match. It seems that this is also the starting lineup directed by Du in the near future.

Bay Area Pterosaurs starting players: center: No. 12 Liu Daxing, power forward: No. 9 Wu Qi, small forward: No. 7 Lewis, shooting guard: No. 6 Chris, point guard: No. 5 Zheng Zilong.

South China Tigers starters: center: No. 9 Yi Jianlian, power forward: No. 10 Zhou Guangchao, small forward: No. 8 Li Qiao, shooting guard: No. 6 Jason, point guard: No. 3 Hu Xiaoxuan.

Players from both sides entered the field to shake hands one after another, then stood in their positions and waited for the referee to make a jump ball.

As the ball was thrown into the air from the referee's hands, Liu Daxing jumped up and fought for the ball to the backcourt. After Chris got it, he dribbled the ball and passed the half court quickly.

Jason stepped forward to defend, but when Liu Daxing came to cover the pick-and-roll, Ah Lian hurried forward and raised his hand to delay, preventing Chris from taking the ball easily, and also forcing the Pterosaurs in the Bay Area to slow down.

Chris saw that there was no chance, so he transferred the ball to Lewis on the wing. Unexpectedly, after Lewis received the ball, he made an unreasonable long-range three-pointer. Wow, the ball scored, 3-0, and the Bay Area Pterosaurs took the lead Score.

Li Qiao looked at Lewis and smiled helplessly. Before he stepped forward to defend the ball, he was attacked by the opponent for a long-range three-pointer. He also felt quite speechless.

Hu Xiaoxuan also smiled wryly after serving the ball: "There is no way for this ball. They have played in the NBA before, and the distance from the three-point line is this position. This is the muscle memory he formed."

Li Qiao took the ball and slowly dribbled it across the half court. Lewis soon came to him to mark.

With a simple gesture, Zhou Guangchao came to help with the pick-and-roll cover. Li Qiao used the pick-and-roll to quickly break through to the inside. Wu Qi was slow and had to follow behind to chase and defend.Seeing that Li Qiao had entered the free throw line, Liu Daxing hurried out to block, intending to block Li Qiao's layup this time. You must know that Liu Daxing's defensive ability is very strong, and he averaged 2 blocks per game.

After Li Qiao saw Liu Daxing jumping, he passed the ball directly from under his arm. After receiving the ball comfortably, Ah Lian easily dunked and scored, 3 to 2.

The Wing Dragons of the Bay Area served the ball. Zheng Zilong did not pass the ball to Lewis and Chris immediately after halftime, but pulled it to the wing and gave Wu Qi a lob.

Since Wu Qi is known as Xiangjiang Duncan, one can imagine how solid his basic skills are.He took the ball and turned around to face Zhou Guangchao with a fake move. When Zhou Guangchao subconsciously defended against a breakthrough, he shot directly. The ball bounced off the 45-degree backboard and entered the basket. 5-2, Bay Area Pterosaurs leading.

The South China Tigers made a kick-off attack. Hu Xiaoxuan brought the ball to the middle circle and raised his hand to signal for a tactic. Ah Lian directly raised it from the inside to cover and block. Hu Xiaoxuan quickly broke through to the inside with the help of the block, attracting both defensive players passed.

Hu Xiaoxuan passed the ball back to the middle circle. A Lian, who was standing there, made a gesture to shoot after the ball. Chris on the wing left Jason and rushed to block the block. As a result, A Lian transferred the ball laterally to Jason on the wing. Lewis also rushed over to make up for it, just missing Li Qiao in the bottom corner.

After receiving Jason's pass, Li Qiao shot directly, and it was also a hollow three-pointer. It was 5 to 5, and the two sides fought to a tie.

The Wing Dragons in the Bay Area were led by Chris to cross the half court. Facing Jason's defense, he called Zheng Zilong to perform a pick-and-roll, and then called the list to play Hu Xiaoxuan.

Hu Xiaoxuan's reaction was very quick, and he almost got the opponent's ball twice. As a result, when he went to take the ball again, Chris suddenly quickly collected the ball with both hands, and made a shooting motion upwards with his arm facing Hu Xiaoxuan's hand. With a snap, Hu Xiaoxuan thought to himself: "Oops, I was cheated."

"Beep", the referee's whistle immediately sounded, pointing at Hu Xiaoxuan and saying that the thugs made three free throws.

Director Du hugged his head on the sidelines and sighed: "Oh, Hu Xiaoxuan, how many times have I told you, don't take the risk of taking the ball."

Hu Xiaoxuan hurriedly raised his hand and nodded, not daring to talk back like a quail.

Chris made three free throws and the score became 8-5.
