The older superstars of the NBA

Another game day.

In the semi-finals of the World Cup qualifiers, in the largest arena in Beirut, the Huaxia men's basketball team challenged the host Lebanon away.

Before the game even started, the entire arena was completely surrounded. The local fans were so enthusiastic that they poured into it hoping to cheer for their team.

At the same time, half an hour before the opening, in the locker room of the Huaxia men's basketball team, Xu Haoran, who had lost his temper before, did not come to the scene.

"Damn it! What's the situation? Xu Haoran is really not coming?"

"Not at all! To be honest, I think it's okay to play as a substitute. Anyway, everyone is here to win, and the playing time will basically not be much different..."

"Yeah! Brother Feiyang can accept playing as a substitute, so why can't this guy Xu Haoran?"

However, what the players expected did not happen. Soon, Xu Haoran followed the head coach Xu Lei to the locker room.

Everyone was already aware of the previous events, and the unannounced result was also expected by everyone.

They really want to see how the head coach Xu Lei will deal with this matter!

Before going on the field, the head coach Xu Lei arranged the team's starting lineup. Sure enough, when the No. [-] candidate was mentioned, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Xin Yong can't play the first position, let... Guo Ailun go!"

This move also made many players look at each other in blank dismay.

They didn't expect Coach Xu Lei to show such a selfless side, which really made them feel incredible!

However, what Coach Xu Lei said next made them dispel this idea.

"For the second position... Feiyang, I know this position should belong to you, but the goal of the Basketball Association this time is to hope that the old players can bring new players, so out of these considerations. .....this time let Xu Haoran play the second starting position......."

"You are still our core, this will not change..."

When Zhao Feiyang heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

He thought that coach Xu Lei would come up with something, but he didn't expect that the other party would find him in the name of the Basketball Association!Although this is also a helpless move, it has to be said that Zhao Feiyang thinks it is very appropriate.

The national team's previous campaigns have made him feel very tired. After all, after playing more than 80 games in the entire NBA season plus the playoffs, he has to rush back to play various international games, which is really too much for his body.

In this case, if I can save trouble and let the young players contribute more, it will be good for the team, and it will be good for myself.

Otherwise, the whole team is counting on me alone, so I don't know how long it will last?

Although the opponent has two European foreign aids this time, Zhao Feiyang thinks it's okay to let the young people go up and try the water!

"I can."

Zhao Feiyang nodded.

Zhao Feiyang thinks it is quite worthwhile to exchange himself for coach Xu Lei's support for Guo Ailun.

It is a pity that he has no way to let Ding Yanyuhang take the starting position again, otherwise he would definitely not suggest sacrificing himself to send these really outstanding young people.

The only thing to worry about is the teammates of the Huaxia men's basketball team. Although none of them refuted, the behavior of whispering has proved their doubts about this lineup.

After all, the opponent is a dual-core foreign player, or is playing in the European League. Who knows how powerful the opponent is?

Head coach Xu Lei didn't object when he saw Zhao Feiyang, ignored the reactions of others, and happily finalized the starting lineup immediately.

Soon, the Huaxia men's basketball team played.

The match between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out. After a few minutes of simple preparation, the match finally officially started.

Snapped.

The moment the referee threw the basketball, the Lebanese team took the first shot of the basketball, and the ball fell into the hands of the Lebanese team, and their players held the ball and pushed it to the half court.

After halftime, the Lebanese team gave the ball to Luke Vichy, the core of the team.

Luke Vichy holds the ball and attacks at the top of the arc. He observes the situation on the field while dribbling.Suddenly, the big man on the inside mentioned the high post to help him pick and roll, and Luke Vichy took the ball and rushed to the basket.

His reaction was extremely fast. After entering the two divisions, he pretended to cooperate with his big teammates, but actually made a feint, and then threw the ball to the backboard.

Snapped.

The basketball hit the backboard, rebounded a bit and then fell firmly into the basket.

"nice shot!"

"Wonderful breakthrough!"

"Good job!"

The Lebanese fans on the sidelines cheered, and the applause resounded throughout the arena.

It was the turn of the Huaxia men's basketball team to counterattack.

Guo Ailun pushed forward with the ball. He had just dribbled the ball and hadn't taken a few steps when the opponent's foreign aid Ryan Babbitt came to him.

Ryan Babbitt did not reach out his hand in a hurry, but he had already put on a marking posture.

As soon as Guo Ailun passed halftime, the opponent suddenly slapped the basketball in his hand.This move was too sudden, and someone else might make a mistake, but it was not worth mentioning to the calm Guo Ailun.

He pulled away with a change of direction, and took advantage of the opponent's movement to take the ball forward and break through.

Ryan Babbitt quickly came up on defense.

At this time, another player appeared in front of Guo Ailun's attacking route. With the two double-teaming, it seemed that Guo Ailun was in a bad situation.

But what no one expected was that in the next second, Guo Ailun suddenly turned around to avoid the two and went to the basket.

The easy and smooth movement caught the opponent by surprise, and by the time the Lebanese players reacted, Guo Ailun had already thrown the ball within the penalty area.

Snapped.

The basketball hit the white area and fell into the basket smoothly.

"nice shot."

The Huaxia men's basketball team stood up on the bench.

Zhao Feiyang took the lead in standing up and applauding himself.He thought that Guo Ailun might not be able to score this kind of ball under the restriction of the opponent's foreign aid, but he didn't expect Guo Ailun to handle this difficulty in such a clever way.

"This kid is really good! He has unlimited potential in the future... At least he is definitely a first-class player in Asia..."

Zhao Feiyang praised secretly.

The expressions of the other teammates are pretty good, even the head coach Xu Lei looks relieved.Only Xu Haoran on the field was somewhat unhappy seeing Guo Ailun playing like this.

He had been asking Guo Ailun for the ball before, but not only did Guo Ailun not pass the pass, but he also played singles, which somewhat made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Depend on!"

After cursing in a low voice, Xu Haoran joined the battle again.

Soon the Lebanese team continued to counterattack. After the ball passed halftime, the opponent's foreign aid Luke Vichy attacked with the ball.This time Xu Haoran continued to step forward to mark.

But as soon as the two met, the opponent suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back and accelerated away Xu Haoran.

Xu Haoran, who was shaken, looked surprised. When he reacted and rushed forward, the opponent had rushed to the second division and raised the basketball.

Xu Haoran didn't have time to think about it, so he leaped high and rushed towards the opponent, but the next second, the opponent deliberately paused, and took advantage of the moment he pounced to meet him and slammed into him.

call out.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the basketball was scored steadily.

Two plus one.

The scene exclaimed.
