104-98, the Shandong men's basketball team withstood the counterattack of the Qingdao men's basketball team in the final stage and won the Qilu derby. Hudson scored a game-high 28 points and delivered 8 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, and the old comrade showed people what is called ginger or old spicy.
In the fourth quarter, at 8 minutes and 45 seconds, Hudson used the block to suddenly retreat, and shot at a distance of half a step from the top of the arc, and the ball landed steadily in the bag! Three points in hand. With 4 minutes and 48 seconds left before the end of the game, Hudson pulled up and shot at the left 45 degree position, and it was another three-point cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops and horses came to see each other, and the precision guidance of the three-point shot was hit! These two three-pointers, like two basins of cold water, suddenly extinguished the counterattack momentum of the Qingdao men's basketball team. If it were not for Liu Guancen's foul after that, the Qingdao men's basketball team suddenly took 5 points, so that the game had suspense again, and the Shandong men's basketball team would have accepted the game long ago.
This season's Shandong men's basketball team was unlucky, after the change of coach, they easily welcomed back Ding Yanyuhang, and Ding Shen also successfully transformed into a shooter, but he was hit by his teammates during the first window training and injured his knee, and it is expected to take two months to recover. In addition, because no one in the inner line has shared the pressure for a long time, Tao Hanlin has to become an old scalper, and the average playing time per game remains high, which also makes coach Xu Changsuo questionable.
In the last round, the Shandong men's basketball team suffered a fiasco in front of the Shanghai men's basketball team, scoring only 12 points in the first quarter and letting the opponent cut 41 points! The game had actually lost its suspense since the end of the first half. Therefore, in the face of the little brother Qingdao men's basketball team, Shandong general can be described as holding his stomach, but it is not easy to win the opponent, after all, the Qingdao men's basketball team has two very powerful foreign aides, Dakari Johnson and Wells.
Against Johnson, it is certainly not okay to be tough, because Johnson is tall and long-armed, not only can attack, but also the defensive coverage area is also very large, but his lateral movement speed is definitely not as good as Tao Hanlin'. Therefore, in response to this, as soon as the Qilu derby started, Hudson and Tao Hanlin continued to carry out textbook blocking, and Tao Hanlin frequently went down and threw Johnson behind his ass. Not long after the first quarter began, Hudson used the block to break through to the basket, Johnson quickly assisted in the defense, Hudson was quick,Passing the ball from Johnson's armpit to Tao Hanlin, and the "little shark" easily ate the cake.
The opening attack opened, and Hudson's hand felt smooth, even if the ball was tossed on the top of the basket a few times, it was still able to topple, so luck was on his side. In the first quarter of the second stage, Hudson held the ball to advance, like a court boss, stumbled, in the moment of falling to the ground, the ball spun twice on the basket obediently fell into the bag, and before, Hudson also once shot in the case of losing the center of gravity, the ball hit the board at the same time, but also created an opponent foul, 2 + 1 hit.
Hudson played the first quarter, shooting all 6 of his two-pointers, 3-of-3 from the free throws, scoring 15 points and delivering four assists! The efficiency is staggering.
Considering Hudson's age, Xu Changsuo did not let Hudson play for the entire second quarter, and it was not until the third quarter that the latter was re-dressed. At this time, the Qingdao men's basketball team only paid attention to Hudson, Wells began to defend Hudson, when Hudson's attack was suppressed, the Shandong men's basketball team had a problem at the offensive end, the point difference was chased to single digits twice, Hudson wanted to turn the tide, and the result was that the shot in the last moment of the third quarter was covered by Wells. In this regard, Hudson can only cross his hands and waist, shaking his head even, wishing to be a few years younger, no way, the years are not sparing, his bouncing and explosive power are difficult to compare with when he was young.
As you can see, Hudson, who is almost 38 years old, has reached the twilight of a basketball player, he is no longer the FMVP who led the Liaoning men's basketball team to the finals several times and won 1 championship, Hudson's hair is thinning, and the Wells he faces is a thick dirty braid, and the years have left traces on the top of Hudson's head, and this is the stage that any good athlete will go through.
However, the decline in athletic function and physical fitness is a fact, and the accumulation of experience is also visible to the naked eye, after all, Ginger is still old and spicy, just like Hudson's two three-pointers in the fourth quarter, at the critical moment, he is still a scorer worthy of the trust of the Shandong men's basketball team. In addition, in the prediction of the opposing defense, Hudson is also outstanding, in addition to the high score of 25 points per game, the average of 6 assists per game also maintained a high standard, like this game, he gave 8 assists.
After winning the Qilu derby, the Shandong men's basketball team does not dare to take it lightly, and then they will face strong opponents such as Zhejiang, Xinjiang, Guangzhou, Guangsha, Shanxi, etc. In order to stabilize the top 12 seats before the Spring Festival, Hudson and his teammates must continue to work hard.
