Chapter 271 A Weak Advantage
But Simmons is a superstar after all, so he quickly adapted to Xiaozhi's defense, so he became active again. Xiaozhi tried his best, but he couldn't defend him at all, but under his entanglement, Simon Si's physical fitness also declined very quickly.
In contrast, Jordan's physical energy consumption is greater, because he has to face Luo Mang's continuous close defense, and defend Han Bin and Luo Peng, two opponents who are as slippery as snakes.
Although the score is still tight, for Huaxia, it will face greater challenges in the future, because until now, West must replace either Jordan or Simmons, otherwise they will not be physically fit in the second quarter , if the two of them are not present at that time, they will be even more passive.
After careful consideration, he replaced Jordan, who was more physically exhausted, first.
And Lu Ziqiu also made substitutions, Lin Sen replaced Lu Wei, Lu Qian replaced Luo Mang, Wei Meng reappeared and replaced Gao Jun, although Wei Meng could not guard against Fan En at all, Lu Ziqiu was not worried, because now the focus was on Simmons.
As for Fan En, he told Wei Meng, "You try to choose to go around the front to defend, and foul if you find that you can't defend. Don't give him an easy chance to score, otherwise he will become more courageous as he fights."
"Okay." Wei Meng didn't hesitate at all, he knew that there would be nothing wrong with the coach's arrangement.
Although Lin Sen reappeared, Xiao Zhi was still given the heavy responsibility of defending Simmons. Lu Ziqiu asked him to assist Xiao Zhi to pinch Simmons from time to time, mainly to cut off his passing route. Close the door, if you can't control it, even if you make a foul, you can't let him score easily.
If Lan Feng could come up, and he would stop him, Lu Ziqiu wouldn't have to worry about Simmons so much. Unfortunately, neither Gao Jun nor Wei Meng could replace Lan Feng's role at the basket.
With the game at this level, the possibility of winning by surprise is very slim, so Lu Ziqiu gradually reduced the appearance time of other role players.
Seeing that Simmons was playing hard but still unable to restrain himself, George couldn't help sighing, "If Xia Yuan hadn't chosen to leave back then, Simmons would have been very uncomfortable if he had cooperated with Xiaozhi."
"Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force it. Besides, even if he is here, with his playing attitude, he can't improve much in a season."
"That's true, it's just a pity for his talent."
Time passed by, Simmons' physical energy consumption was getting bigger and bigger, and his breakthrough was no longer sharp. Once he couldn't break through, it would be difficult for other players to get good shots. Only Fann could occasionally make strong shots. One shot inside to score, others frequently hit the iron to end.
On the other hand, the Wolves, although Xiao Zhi was left empty, was almost equivalent to 4 vs 5, but once Lin Sen became active, the other three also benefited, Lu Qian got back hits, and Luo Peng also started to make frequent fouls and go to the free throw line , and Wei Meng's three-pointer was finally off the hook.
At the end of the first quarter, the Wolves finally took advantage of a small climax at the last minute to open up the score a bit, but it was only a 6-point lead.
During the intermission, Lu Ziqiu adjusted the lineup again. Han Bin, Gao Jun, Lin Sen, Lu Qian, and Luo Mang appeared on the stage. Luo Mang was still in charge of marking Jordan, and the others double-teamed when they saw the opportunity.
On the offensive end, they continued to dig into the opponent's inside line. As for Han Bin, it was still used as a checkpoint. Once Gao Jun and Lu Qian encountered double-teaming, they would hand the ball to Han Bin and let him resolve the battle. However, Lu Ziqiu specifically told Han Bin, "As long as the situation is not very serious, try to take it easy and save your energy."
"Okay." Han Bin understands that Lao Lu is already thinking about the next game. As for this game, to be honest, everyone is very confident. As long as there are no accidents, they believe that they can definitely win.
After Lu Ziqiu finished setting up, Lu Qian sighed: "Old Lu, the other party seems to be completely immune to our trash talk, should we continue to spray?"
Not only Lu Qian found it boring, but Lin Sen and the others also found it really boring. Up to now, the other party has not responded at all, which makes them feel like they have become opera singers.
Lu Ziqiu nodded with a smile on the other hand, "Keep spraying, if they can last a quarter, they may not be able to last a game, even if they can last a game, they may not be able to last a series, so as long as you continue, they will definitely be upset Irritated."
Huaxia's players are used to pride, so they are not particularly firm in their determination. Except for Jordan, Simmons and Dai Jin, the others seem to be unmoved, but in fact they cannot stand others' contempt at all.
Having said that, he sighed secretly, if only Lan Feng was there, Fan En couldn't stand Lan Feng's constant harassment, it's a pity that Gao Jun and Wei Meng's ability in this area is not good enough.
After hearing Lu Ziqiu's words, Lu Qian and the others nodded and agreed without hesitation.
After playing again, Jordan led the team to launch a fierce counterattack. The players on the Wolves completely followed Lu Ziqiu's tactics and kept digging inside the opponent. As a result, the defensive pressure faced by Han Bin and Lin Sen dropped sharply, and the two took this opportunity to gradually increase their shots.
In the first 3 minutes, Huaxia was still able to support under the leadership of Jordan, but after 3 minutes, the Wolves gradually strengthened their defensive strength and increased confrontation. Except for Jordan, the shooting rate of the others dropped sharply, and their turnovers gradually decreased. increase.
Facing a team like the Wolves, once they made a mistake, they would be rewarded with points, especially Lin Sen and Han Bin, both of whom were good at attacking and defending transitions, so West had to make substitutions and adjustments.
The audience saw that the team was playing more and more smoothly, and they completely let go of their tugging hearts. Driven by the current DJ, they played human waves after the start.
Lin Qian and the others in the auditorium were also driven by the current atmosphere and followed everyone to have fun.
Father Lin couldn't help sighing: "The atmosphere here is much better than ours in Los Angeles." But the voice was too loud, and no one could hear what he was saying.
The passion of Luo Chen and Kaiser was also mobilized, and the explanation was even more passionate.
Lu Ziqiu returned to the coach's bench and sat down. George handed him a glass of water, "Does your coming back mean that there is no suspense in this game?"
No suspense?How can it be?How could Huaxia win so easily?
But he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he chose a compromise, "It's hard to say now. If the score can be completely opened before the end of the first half, it shouldn't be a big problem to win the game. If not, we still have to play in the second half." .”
Seeing that the score was opened again, West gritted his teeth and replaced Simmons and Fann.
With Vann sitting on the inside and Simmons organizing support, the Wolves did not dare to double-team Jordan unscrupulously. As a result, the defensive pressure facing Jordan dropped sharply, and his shooting percentage began to rise steadily.
In contrast to the Wolves, the inside offense was blocked, Lu Qian couldn't attack, and his shooting percentage began to decline. However, facing Simmons' defense, Lin Sen suddenly became more difficult to connect the team. Once he was restricted, the offense on the field began to stagnate. , Fortunately, Han Bin broke out and repeatedly used fadeaway jumpers and breakthroughs to score points.
But relying on him alone is like a drop in the bucket, Lu Ziqiu had to call a timeout and rearrange.
