In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 21 Fighting the iron battle, advancing to the final

Navarro is not the bomb at his peak, he played too hastily, or he wanted to lead Spain to reverse the decline too much, because he is the strongest outsider of the Matador Corps in this World Youth Championship. Suleiman with the No. 10 jersey is a younger brother.As long as the opponent was useful, why was he so embarrassed by Zhang Tian? The reason why the latter dared to switch positions with Yue Pengfei to defend him was because he bet that Suleiman was not threatening.

Yue Pengfei and Zhang Tian did not switch back. Yue Pengfei is not as tall as Suleiman in the third position, but he also has advantages, that is, speed and off the ball, and the bomb is already possessed. When Carlos Cabezas dribbles the ball over , Before wanting to pass to Gasol, the Spanish No. [-] position needs the ball.

Spain's No. 15 on the inside exploded. Navarro, the team's leading scorer, has completely lost himself, and he still doesn't know it.

Hey, Gasol felt that it was a mistake for him to participate in this World Youth Championship. He originally wanted to make a name for himself in the World Youth Championship and pave the way for participating in the NBA draft two years later.Not only is the road not paved, but it may even become a stepping stone for Zhang Tian.

Spanish No. [-], holding the ball, still poses three threats. Zhang Tian didn't play tricks with him at all, and directly confronted him. Everyone was deeply impressed, and the most offensive method after his breakthrough was nothing more than throwing shots, and that move really just depends on his face.

The defensive formation of the Chinese team has changed into a one-star quadruple in this period of time. The outside line Zhang Tian is alone against Navarro, and the other four are shrunk inside. In this way, even if the Spanish No. [-] breaks through to the inside and wants to throw a shot It is not realistic to face so many strong men in the Chinese team.

Navarro was also unambiguous. Since Zhang Tian didn't give him a chance to shoot, he had to stick his head in. This time, Spain's second position used a Buddha, but Zhang Tian didn't lower his center of gravity at all, that's all. Waiting for him on the spot, the Spanish No. [-] chose to make a strong outside shot, and Zhang Tian blocked the shot, but unfortunately the ball still went in.

Navarro shook his fist. This goal is too critical. If he doesn't score, his mentality will really explode, but there is not much time left for Spain. The next attack must be a quick one. You can only score on the counterattack, otherwise the Chinese team will waste time there, and you have nothing to do.

The Chinese team attacked. Before Liu Wei had time to pass the ball, he was forced by Carlos Cabezas. This guy is not like a point guard at all, but a weakened version of Klay Thompson. He has a strong shot and ability to hold the ball Generally, it is basically responsible for dribbling the ball to pass to teammates.

Since it is a weakened version of Clay, the defense must have a brush. Liu Wei's ball was blocked, Carlos Cabezas did not have time to break fast, Zhang Tian took the initiative to foul him, and the Spanish team won the ball.

Liu Wei started to get nervous, Zhang Tian walked over and patted the opponent on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we are still ahead."

Liu Wei's mentality is actually very stable, at least better than the "Asia's No. [-] point guard" who goes on variety shows every day and becomes "Guo Yifen" in the international arena. The former's strength lies in the basic skills of basketball. Anyway, Zhang Tian was reborn. In that era, the new generation of men's basketball players, let alone shooting, would be good if they could pass the ball well.

Spain won the ball, but they had to race against time. After scoring a goal, Navarro gradually calmed down. Facing Zhang Tian's close defense, he did not make a strong shot, but passed to the misplaced Suleiman, Suleiman chose to hit Yue Pengfei with his back. The latter was hit by the former from 45 degrees on the left to near the penalty area. The weight gap between the two sides was too great.Then Spain's No. 10 chose to turn around and shoot, and the ball was scored. It took a lot of time to attack Spain this time.

The Chinese team was attacking. Liu Wei saw that Carlos Cabezas was pressing again. He didn't panic. Remembering the long pass, I found Zhang Tian who ran to the [-]-degree area on the right. Suleiman's bulky weight could no longer support him in the second half. Facing Zhang Tian's running without the ball, he couldn't keep up at all. Rhythm.

Spain's James fell, and Zhang Tian calmly threw another three-pointer, extinguishing Spain's counterattack.

For Spain, this three-pointer is really heart-wrenching and heart-warming. Although it is to give up Zhang Tian and limit his teammates, it can't be done like this. The Spanish head coach can only choose to replace No. 10. Forward, replace No. 9 Felipe Reyes, who will be a frequent visitor to the Spanish national team in the future, just like his sister-in-law and Navarro. It's not that Suleiman is exhausted, Reyes, the future Spanish main striker, has no chance at all.

Reyes was faster than Suleiman, and he could keep up with Zhang Tian's rhythm, but when he came up, Zhang Tian stopped running at all, and began to fight against him, because the former was 204 cm tall and weighed Only over 90 kilograms, this is simply a soft persimmon. Zhang Tian received a pass from his teammate and turned his back directly. Anyway, there is no five-second violation of turning back in U19 games, so players with big butts play this kind of competition. They are very fragrant, Zhang Tian's butt is not big, but he is not as strong as his hemp striker against a weight, so the difficulty is still very small.

One, two, three times, Felipe Reyes was pushed into the inside line, Zhang Tian did not continue to push in, he chose to turn around, and the moment he turned around, Gasol in the fourth position screamed Finally, his goal was the ball in Zhang Tian's hand, and the third position of the Chinese team did not force the shot against the two. He is not Kobe, and he can't play this kind of fairy ball, so he directly passed it to Li Ke. The player easily dunked and scored.

The Spanish head coach did not complain about the double-teaming of his sister-in-law, because the opponent's judgment was correct, but Zhang Tian's reaction was too fast.

Although Spain has not been able to catch up with the score, they are still at odds with the Chinese team. As a result, Jiasao Wu commits a crime, and Spain raises the white flag to surrender. This Spanish fifth leader is the one who played the best in Spain in the semi-finals.Although the score is not as high as that of Navarro, his role in both offense and defense is unmatched by bombs.

The score of the whole game was 72:77. Zhang Tian scored 24 points, 7 assists and 5 steals in the whole game. In the second half, the two sides were completely fighting each other on defense. The Chinese team held on and they reached the final , which is the best result of an Asian team in this event.
