As long as the pick-and-roll is passed in every offense and the defenders are replaced with these few, then the Longguo team will be more than half successful.

This is the sign of the maturity of the Longguo team. They take every opponent seriously.

……

The Dragon Country team broke into the quarterfinals again, which caused a huge sensation in the Dragon Country.

"Longguo basketball has officially risen!"

"What is the quarterfinals? I think I can enter the finals!"

"Defeat the American dream team! Win glory for the country!"

……

Countless fans shouted the long-awaited shouts in their hearts.

At the press conference before the game, Xu Feng and Director Gong were interviewed.

"Mr. Xu Feng, in the last game, the Long Guo team lost to the American team. Does it mean that there is still a gap between your two teams?"

Xu Feng sneered: "The American dream team is very strong. I admit that there is a gap, but we are not out yet, so for now, we are all winners!"

The reporter was overwhelmed by Xu Feng's language art and gave a thumbs up.

Suddenly, a girl squeezed forward and asked with a microphone: "Xu Feng, I believe in you, you will beat the US team!"

Both Xu Feng and Director Gong were taken aback for a moment, thinking, why would the reporter still say this?
After Xu Feng saw it clearly, he realized that this girl was the female guest of Tengxun and also a reporter—Xiaoqi!
Xu Feng smiled at her, nodded and said, "Thank you, Xiao Qi!"

Seeing that Xu Feng still remembered her name, Xiaoqi was very moved, and continued: "In the next game against Croatia, how many points can you score?"

Xu Feng smiled again: "It's hard to say, I guess it should be 30+!"

The reporters exclaimed, Xu Feng would not answer such questions before, how could he be so patient today?

Xiaoqi was very satisfied with Xu Feng's answer, so she didn't ask any more questions, stepped back, and looked at Xu Feng quietly.

Another reporter asked Director Gong: "Coach, the average height of the Croatian players is higher than that of the Longguo team. Do you have any countermeasures?"

Director Gong replied calmly: "The height is indeed the advantage of the Croatian team, but we also have many advantages, such as fast speed and good defense. Both sides have their own strengths."

"Coach, the Croatian team and your Longguo team haven't played against each other for many years. Will you adapt to their style of play?"

"It should be fine. Serbia has already played against us. I think Croatia will not be stronger than Serbia."

……

At [-]:[-] p.m., at the Cass Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the quarter-finals between the Dragons and Croatia kicked off.

Most of the audience in the arena are Dragon Country fans, it's as if they are at home.

The starting lineup for the Long Guo team is Xu Feng, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Ding Yanyuhang and Guo Ailun.

Croatia's starting five are Babik, Filip, Stipsevic, Salik, and Planik.

The referee whistled and the ball jumped in the middle circle.

Zhou Qi and Planik jump the ball. They are about the same height, but Pranik is stronger, but Zhou Qi bounces better.

Planik is very experienced, he took off early, dialed the ball, and Croatia attacked first.

The Longguo team didn't panic at all, they used the defensive formation and waited for the opponent to attack.

Croatia's offensive routine is mainly through the cover of the inside line, allowing Planik to misplace the opponent's third and fourth positions.

However, the Longguo team had been prepared for a long time. Just when Planik wanted to hit Yi Jianlian, Xu Feng suddenly came to defend, cut the ball quickly, and broke Planik's ball.

Xu Feng has thoroughly studied the details of Planik's offense and knows when he will join the ball.

So break off easily and launch a counterattack.

The Long Guo team's counterattack was really fast, Xu Feng passed it directly to Guo Ailun who was at the top of the arc, and Guo Ailun rode through the barrier again and scored two points!

2: 0!

The Croatian team was a little dazed, their rhythm was slow, and they did not adapt to the fast-playing whirlwind of the Longguo team.

Especially Xu Feng's assisted defense is like a ghost, everywhere.

Croatia attacked again.

This time they changed their style of play a little bit, allowing Salik at position 4 to switch to play Zhou Qi.

Salik is currently playing in the U.S. Development League, and his skills are not bad. He can play from a small position to a big player, and he is very good at playing the opposite center.

It's a pity that Zhou Qi is not a traditional center. Although he is not strong enough, his agility and height are here.

Coupled with Xu Feng's training on his defensive end, he got rid of his weakness of being easily tricked into taking off, and now his defense is very stable.

Salik swayed left and right, but couldn't shake Zhou Qi away.

In the end, the shot clock was running out, and Salik had to step back and shoot.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi had already seen through it, jumped up decisively, stretched out his long arms, and slapped Salik's ball away.

The basketball was impartial, and it just flew to Yi Jianlian's side.

Yi Jianlian grabbed the ball and flicked it to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng immediately launched a fast attack.

Barbick was also quite fast, and started chasing and defending.

Xu Feng turned around and threw him behind him. He jumped from the free throw line and dunked!
Babik watched Xu Feng dunk helplessly, powerless.

4: 0!

The Dragon Kingdom team made another fantastic start!

The audience was once again ignited by Xu Feng's dunk, and the whole stadium cheered.

"Xu Feng is awesome!"

"Xu Feng, I love you!"

"The Dragon Kingdom will win!"

"Long Guoxiong rises!"

"Beat Croatia!"

……

The cheers of the fans turned into motivation to motivate the players.

The Dragon Country team became more and more courageous. At 5 minutes and 31 seconds into the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 12:6, and the Dragon Country team led by 6 points.

The Croatian head coach had no choice but to call a timeout. He found that the Longguo team had thoroughly studied Croatia's tactics.

In almost every attack, players from the Longguo team appeared in front of the offensive players for the first time.

Finding an open spot to shoot the ball is almost impossible.

However, the Longguo team's offense was specifically looking for the opponent's weaknesses. Babik, Philip, and Stipsevic had become cash machines.

To get out of the predicament, Croatia needs to play faster.

But the problem is that the fast pace of the Longguo team is too proficient. If you want to play fast with the Longuo team, you are looking for death.

Twice the poison, pick a cup.

The timeout ended and the game continued. Croatia did not make any adjustments, but made the players more active.

The point difference continued to widen. At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 23:11, and Longguo led by 12 points.

It was only the first quarter, and the point difference came to more than 10 points.

The whole Croatian team was very frustrated. When they walked off the field, they all bowed their heads.

Before the game, when they learned that it was the Longguo team, they already lost their fighting spirit.

Because both Serbia and Australia lost to the Long Guo team, although they lost the game against the US team, the scene was almost evenly divided.
