The older superstars of the NBA

The outstanding performance of the opponent's defender Jeffrey put a little pressure on the China Men's Basketball Team.

After all, that's how they lost the last game.

Unable to guard the opponent, the opponent produced unexpected statistics. Then the team collapsed inside and outside, and there was no way to recover.

Fortunately, this time, the Chinese men's basketball team's defense is much stronger than before.

In the remaining first quarter, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team maintained a stable offensive state, choosing to cooperate in positional battles in most cases.

Although the pace is a bit slow, there is nothing wrong with using one's own advantage when one's own height exceeds that of the Philippine team.

On the other hand, the Philippine team, which won the last game, has already become path dependent. This time, they basically concentrated the ball in the hands of core defender Jeffrey.

Jeffrey's offensive breakthrough is indeed good, but as the China Men's Basketball Team adapts, the defenders' interference with his defense gradually takes effect. In the second half of the first quarter, several of Jeffrey's breakthroughs were disrupted.

call out.

The referee's whistle sounded and the first quarter ended. What excited the fans at the scene was that the Philippine team did not take the lead this time.

The leader is the China Men's Basketball Team. They lead the Philippines 22 to 19. Although there is only a 3-point gap, the first quarter of the game has already given fans confidence.

During the break, head coach Denzel continued to give the players blood.

The fans on the sidelines were filled with emotion when they saw this scene.

"It's not easy to train young players! If you don't hope that the Chinese Men's Basketball Team can rise early, I would just let Zhao Feiyang come up..."

"His ability to beat a Philippine team is simply a killing opportunity! Clarkson is already considered a top player in Asia! But he is not enough in front of Zhao Feiyang... Zhao Feiyang estimates that a During the festival, the Chinese men’s basketball team will be able to take advantage of the situation that the opponent cannot catch up with…”

call out.

The referee whistle sounded.

The second quarter begins.

The Philippine team still sent core Jeffrey, while the Chinese men's basketball team replaced Li Yuhang and Cao Yue, and the other positions were filled by substitutes.

It was the Philippines' turn to serve.

Jeffrey held the ball through half court.

After reaching the top of the arc, he could have used the cover of his teammates to advance into the two zones, but when he saw Cao Yue coming up to defend him, the guy suddenly became interested and took the initiative to dribble the basketball and prepare to play with Cao Yue.

The two met each other, and Jeffrey used a fancy move to throw the ball directly from Cao Yue's crotch.

The whole audience was surprised.

Jeffrey could have rushed to the basket, but he became playful and after getting the ball, he still retreated and dribbled in front of Cao Yue.

Seeing Jeffrey's dribbling speed getting faster and faster, just when he was about to shake Cao Yue away in the next second, Cao Yue suddenly slapped him.

Snapped.

The basketball rolled out.

Jeffrey was shocked. He didn't know how Cao Yue judged his dribbling trajectory. He wanted to rush forward to grab the basketball, but unfortunately Cao Yue was one step ahead of him and grabbed the ball before him.

Cao Yue didn't hesitate at all when he got the ball. He picked up the basketball and accelerated towards the half court.

Jeffrey was chasing after him, and the two of them reached the penalty area almost one after the other. Cao Yue deliberately slowed down and used his body to resist Jeffrey when he pounced on him.

boom.

Cao Yue made an underhand layup and threw the ball. Jeffrey was blocked and could not reach the basketball.

Swish.

The thrown basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.

The ball went in.

The audience burst into applause, the fans stood up and cheered, and there were many substitute players waving towels on the bench of the national men's basketball team.

Cao Yue, who scored a goal, was also quite arrogant. Seeing the disappointment and complaint on Jeffrey's face, he didn't care whether the opponent could understand Mandarin, so he directly said to Jeffrey, "Hey, Filipino boy, you His dribbling is really not that good...It is far different from the skills that Coach Zhao used to toss us in the training camp..."

Cao Yue indeed thinks so.

During the special training in the training camp, Zhao Feiyang and Zach LaVine played at the same time. The two deliberately controlled the ball and did all kinds of tricks. They even used physical confrontation, letting each defender take turns to defend. Use this to experience the terrifying strength of top players in advance.

The effect of this is that the players have no pressure at all when they face the Philippines again. Even Cao Yue, who was beaten by Jeffrey before, is not afraid of the opponent at all this time.

After all, he has already experienced the strength of top players like Zhao Feiyang and LaVine. A small and inferior Jeffrey is really nothing!

Jeffrey didn't know what Cao Yue said, but he could still guess some of the meaning from the contemptuous eyes of the other party.

"Wang Defa?"

Jeffrey couldn't bear to be so despised by his former defeated general.

His teammates quickly served the ball, and Jeffrey, who got the ball, planned a one-stop fast break.

He personally held the ball and rushed through the half court. After this time, he decisively entered the basket. His steps were very fast and his swaying movements were quite deft. But just when he entered the basket and was about to throw the basketball, Li Yuhang was on the wing. Suddenly the defense came up.

The two faced each other, and Jeffrey tried his best to adjust the angle of his shot, but was still hit by Li Yuhang.

Snapped.

The basketball falls out.

Amid the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Cao Yue grabbed the basketball that rolled out. After getting the ball, he decisively rushed across the half court. After discovering that two Filipino players had entered the inside early to block, Cao Yue dribbled directly to the three-point line in the left corner where he was most familiar.

Swish.

A crisp three-pointer.

This time the whole stadium was filled with applause.

Cao Yue, who made a three-pointer, just smiled indifferently and didn't even take it seriously. As he ran back, he muttered, "What is this? When Coach Zhao specially trained me on three-pointers, he didn't miss it." Teach me the skills... let alone the Philippine team, now I dare to shoot against the strong American teams..."

"You really think it's a joke that I shoot a thousand three-pointers a day!"

While feeling proud, Cao Yue's admiration for Zhao Feiyang grew stronger. At the beginning, he complained about Zhao Feiyang's strictness, but now on the court, those strictness and "unhumaneness" are truly reflected.

Not only him, but a group of players on the sidelines also felt this way.

Everyone sat together and whispered. While chatting, they looked at Zhao Feiyang with respect in their eyes.

"Coach Zhao is indeed a top star in the NBA! Being able to train with him once is much better than going to the United States for special training..."

"I don't obey anyone now, but I obey Coach Zhao! When that old man Denzel was here, he did nothing but say we were disobedient! Why doesn't he reflect on whether his rules are reasonable?"

"I would say it's better to let Coach Zhao coach! If Coach Denzel continues like this, he will become Brown next to LeBron and Sterling next to Kobe..."

On the court, Cao Yue and others are performing better and better, especially the three-pointers. After a period of training, their three-pointer performance has improved significantly.

The previous three-point performance was not good. Firstly, the feel was not good, and secondly, the physical confrontation was too weak. In the case of high confrontation, the movements naturally deformed, but the special training helped them exercise their physical fitness and body well, so , even in high-confrontation situations, Cao Yue and others can still keep their status stable.

The score opened up little by little. Seeing the difficulty of chasing points, the Philippine team decisively replaced all its main players. The Chinese Men's Basketball Team was not idle either. Coach Denzel also sent the main players to the court again.

When the battle between the two sides ended in the first half, the score was already 41 to 52. The Philippine team was opened up by 11 points by the Chinese men's basketball team.

When the score reaches double digits, the game is no longer full of suspense.

In the second half, the Philippine team tried to counterattack many times. Unfortunately, core defender Jeffrey had a mediocre touch and the three-pointers he threw failed to save his team.

Originally, the Chinese Men's Basketball Team should have withdrawn its main lineup when the team was leading. However, considering that the Philippine team did not give the Chinese Men's Basketball Team face in the last warm-up match between the two sides, head coach Denzel decisively chose to continue to let the main lineup. Let's fight.

As a result, the point difference grew wider and wider, and the Philippine team became increasingly dissatisfied.

It's a pity that the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team ignored them at all and played until the last 3 minutes of the game before replacing all the main players.

At this time, the point difference also widened to 19 points.

The Philippine team was unable to recover.

The last time they beat the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team by 10 points, this time the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team responded to them in the same way and wiped away their shame.

beep.

The moment the timer sounded, all the fans stood up and applauded.

The score was 84 to 63, and the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team won the opponent by 21 points.

It was simply a hearty victory!

After winning the game, the fans on the sidelines were very happy, and the players on the field also cheered and celebrated together. All three members of the coaching staff showed joy, but Zhao Feiyang had no expression at all on his face, and even A little less happy.

Zhou Xinpeng on the side was very puzzled when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but go up and ask Zhao Feiyang, "Coach, why are you not happy?"

"What's so exciting about this? Just beating a Filipino team can make you so excited?"

Zhao Feiyang shook his head and expressed his incomprehension, "The performance of the national team in 08 really exploded! Even when playing against the American team, they could play back and forth in the first quarter... At that time our Our opponents are the top teams in the world... They are really far behind now!"

When Zhao Feiyang said this, Zhou Xinpeng couldn't help but sigh.

He had not watched that game, but just by listening to Zhao Feiyang's description, he could imagine how powerful the Chinese men's basketball team was at that time!

The players quickly walked to the locker room. On the way back, Zhao Feiyang also stopped the coach Denzel on the side, "Coach Denzel, I don’t think we need to play the open game next! I want to warm up and practice the game. If you are a team, you can find some opponents to fight in private..."

"why?"

Coach Denzel asked with a confused look on his face.
