This time Guo Shiqiang also made adjustments and put Hu Xuefeng as the starting point guard.
Hu Xuefeng is actually a talented defensive defender. He is at the top level among Chinese point guards in terms of rebounding and steals. And under the influence of Hu Weidong, Hu Xuefeng is also extremely self-disciplined, has a very selfless style of play, and likes to assist teammates.
Hu Xuefeng's appearance also strengthened the defensive intensity of the point guard. After all, the opponent's small guard also has very strong breakthrough ability.
The inside players on Yin Lang's team are much taller than those on the Chinese team.
In this game, there is still a certain amount of pressure on the Chinese team's inside line.
The game also started immediately, and the starting players of both teams also appeared one after another.
CCTV commentary also invited Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping as game commentators.
Due to Haddadi's wild words before the game, the attention of this game has reached an unprecedented level.
The ratings of this game also skyrocketed.
"All!"
With a whistle on the field, the game officially started.
Haddadi also relied on his height advantage to jump to the opening kick.
The Chinese team also quickly positioned itself in the backcourt, and Lian Dao kept an eye on Yin Lang's outside pass.
Sure enough, the first ball of the Yinlang team was passed directly to Haddadi who cut towards the basket after covering the screen.
But this was immediately noticed by Lian Dao, who stole the ball halfway.
After stealing the ball, Lian Dao didn't stop at all. He dribbled the ball, turned and avoided Bahrami, and ran forward towards the frontcourt.
At this time, Yin Lang's fastest reaction belonged to the two small defenders Afah and Kamrani.
But with their height, Lian Dao was not shy at all. After reaching the three-point line, he collected the ball and took three steps to dunk hard.
The basketball stand was shaking because of Lian Dao's powerful slam.
After Lian Dao landed, he beat his chest with his left hand and extended his index finger with his right hand to point to the surrounding auditorium.
One word: domineering!
This dunk also instantly ignited the passion of the fans in the audience, and the fans shouted Lian Dao's name.
Lian Dao's dunk also gave the Yin Lang team a disastrous start.
Both sides switch offense and defense.
The Yinlang team still played a pick-and-roll, Haddadi came out to play a pick-and-roll for Kamrani, and Bahrami also used Sahajian's pick-and-roll to briefly get rid of Lian Dao and then wanted to cut to the basket.
At this time, he happened to receive a pass from Kamrani, but Lian Dao also moved quickly to prepare a big block for Bahrami.
At this time, Bahrami passed the ball without looking at anyone, and actually passed the ball to Afah on the outside.
This ball also surprised Lian Dao. He didn't expect Bahrami to pass such a smart pass.
It can be seen that he still underestimated his opponent.
Afah shot a three-pointer directly from the outside.
"brush!"
3:2!
The Yin Lang team also responded with a three-pointer to Lian Dao's dunk just now.
Sure enough, the Yin Lang team is definitely not idiots, and their cooperation is also very tacit.
After the three-pointer, the Yinlang team was in high spirits and stepped up its defense against the Chinese team.
The tight defense and physical confrontation throughout the court put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team.
Hu Xuefeng is no less an old monster. He relied on Yi Jianlian's cover to get to the inside.
Haddadi also quickly shrank his defense to guard against Hu Xuefeng's layup.
After Hu Xuefeng reached the basket, he did not rush for a layup. Instead, he slipped out and threw the ball directly behind his back to Lian Dao on the outside.
He is indeed an old demon!
Lian Dao also reacted quickly. After receiving the ball, he shot a three-pointer directly from the outside.
"brush!"
The three-pointer directly penetrated the basket.
3:5!
"This ball works really well together!"
Zhang Weiping also couldn't help but sigh at the connection between Hu Xuefeng and Lian Dao in the live broadcast room.
The entire audience also cheered for this wonderful goal.
On the defensive end, the two opening goals also directly mobilized the Chinese team's defensive enthusiasm.
There were also hand-to-hand fights on the field.
The Yin Lang team also did not have a good chance under the high-intensity defense of the Chinese team, and made many mistakes in coordination.
Under Lian Dao's defense, Bahrami made a dribbling error. Lian Dao directly stole the ball and quickly threw it to Hu Xuefeng.
Then just move forward.
Before the Yinlang team players could defend themselves, Hu Xuefeng threw the ball into the sky on the right side of the basket.
At this time, Lian Dao jumped into the air, caught Hu Xuefeng's pass with one hand, and smashed it directly towards the basket.
"bump!"
A powerful slam!
This alley-oop combination is definitely comparable to the top five players in the NBA.
This dunk also directly made the fans in the audience wet.
3:7.
The Chinese team's opening points all came from Lian Dao.
At this time, Yao Ming was also smiling as he watched Lian Dao's flying performance on the field.
In the blink of an eye, the Chinese team had established a 4-point advantage.
"China team" "defense" "China team" "defense"!
The fans in the audience were also in high spirits at this time, and they also cheered for the Chinese team in unison.
Team Yin Lang still plays pick-and-roll.
Haddadi pulled out to play a pick-and-roll for Kamrani.
This tactic is no problem for the Yinlang team. After all, the pick-and-roll quality of Haddadi, who is 2.18 meters tall, is very high.
After the pick-and-roll, pass the ball to the center.
This is Yin Lang's most commonly used tactic.
But this time Wang Zhizhi directly went around to defend and intercepted the ball before Haddadi received it.
This time the Yinlang team also learned a lesson. Haddadi first blocked Wang Zhizhi's pass, and then the Yinlang team quickly returned to defense.
At this time, the Chinese team had no chance to play fast break.
Handing the ball to Hu Xuefeng, the Chinese team could only move forward step by step.
After Hu Xuefeng was screened by Yi Jianlian for half the game, he handed the ball to Lian Dao who was responding from the outside.
Lian Dao used Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll to get rid of his opponent's defense, and then went straight inside. At this time, Sahakian hurriedly double-teamed Lian Dao.
Lian Dao turned around and passed the ball without looking at anyone behind his back, passing the ball to Yi Jianlian who was cutting inside.
Yi Jianlian immediately hit a two-handed dunk after receiving the ball.
Lian Dao's pass was also full of excitement, a bit like a white chocolate Williams pass.
3:9.
While returning to defense, Yi Jianlian couldn't help but high-five Lian Dao in celebration. The pass just passed was so comfortable.
This is the most comfortable pass he has ever received in a domestic game. There is no need to respond. The basketball will naturally appear on his offensive line. After receiving the ball, he can shoot directly without any adjustments.
One word: comfortable!
At 3:9 of the opening period, Haddadi from the Yinlang team was also anxious, and his movements in the interior became increasingly larger.
It was probably because of the previous attack that he lost his momentum, so the movements of his hands were a bit big.
Then, he was called for a defensive foul.
The Yinlang team once again served and attacked. This time Kamrani no longer lobbed the ball into the middle after Haddadi's pick-and-roll. Instead, he broke through directly and made an emergency stop to hit a mid-range fadeaway jumper.
Wang Shipeng has already made up the defense for this ball.
5:9.
But Kamrani's shot was very lucky. In order to avoid Wang Shipeng's block, he chose to lean back and raise the height of his shot.
It can be said that this goal is somewhat similar to Wang Shipeng's three-pointer to beat Slovenia, both of which have an element of luck.
The Chinese team is not afraid of his difficult shots now. High difficulty means low hit rate.
As long as the Chinese team protects the backcourt rebounds, it will basically win.
