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

Chapter 5 Difficult Victory

The halftime score between the two sides was 40:40. Zhang Tian was the one with the highest score in the halftime among all the players on the field, but this was still due to the opportunity given by Steve Logan. He was 178, and he was singled out by himself at 201. , That is no different from courting death.

I hope the U.S. team can have more opportunities like this, otherwise, it is still unrealistic for the Chinese team to win.

Except for his own 14 points, none of the other teammates scored in double figures. Liu Wei scored 6 points, which was the highest among these people. Fortunately, all the players in the Chinese team scored. unseen scenes.

"The halftime game was so exciting. Xiao Zhang carried the Chinese team forward with his own strength. Now I finally understand why he said that he wanted to bring the Chinese team to the stage."

Xu Jicheng is very clear about the strength of the US team. Although the dominance of the US team in this event is not as strong as that of Yugoslavia and other European powerhouses, it is an indisputable fact that the Chinese team will face the dimensionality reduction blow.

So after seeing that Zhang Tian was able to score such a score in halftime, Xu Jicheng was very proud. Apart from Yao Ming, the Chinese men's basketball team has finally emerged a genius. This kind of talent has never been cultivated by the youth training system. from.

Rob Evans, the head coach of the US team, was furious in the locker room at this time, "Shet, you played like shit in the first half, and you actually allowed the opponent to score 14 points. What about your defense? where."

Rob Evans is the head coach of Arizona State University. This guy is a very strict existence, but his on-the-spot reaction is very average. That's why Steve Logan was hit by Zhang Tian in the first half. He still had no time to make a substitution screen appears.

"In the second half, come on, Chris." Chris Williams didn't play for a minute in the first half, and he felt a little suffocated. Now that he has an opportunity, he must grasp it.As for Steve Logan, he was thrown into the corner of the bench by Rob Evans.

In the second half, when No. 10 Chris Williams came on the field, Wang Fei was a bit unexpected, while Zhang Tian was ready on the flank. As the second CBA quadruple-double player, he must pay attention to it, no matter what It is said that being able to get 4 pairs is a manifestation of ability.

Chris Williams' style of play is different from Steve Logan's. He is very comprehensive, but he belongs to a series that is good at everything, so when Liu Wei faces him, the pressure is less than that of Steve Logan.

But the biggest difference between the former and Steve Logan is that he will mobilize his teammates, plus Kenyon Dooling in the second position, the US team launched a fierce counterattack in the second half, these two are the kind who can pass the ball, Can score, and Chris Williams' ability to hold the ball is not bad, he can be called the strongest person in the US team this year.

The Chinese team suddenly became passive. Although neither Williams nor Simmons could contain Zhang Tian's scoring, the other players, under the interference of these two, their shooting percentages fell off a cliff.

Wang Fei could only call a timeout, while Rob Evans was very leisurely on the sidelines. He knew that he would win the game. He underestimated Zhang Tian's strength, but no matter how strong that guy is, he can't fight five. .

"Everyone, don't worry, we are only 6 points behind, and we chased after two goals. Jiao Jian, Moke, you go." Wang Fei continued to draw the tactical board to formulate tactics. , If the score was opened by the US team at the beginning, then give up and give up, but now there is only a six-point difference, and there are still 4 minutes left, there is a chance, so why not give it a try.

Li Ke and Li Lin's performance in this game cannot be said to be bad, but it is very average, especially Li Lin, who is the fifth position. With Zhang Tian drawing a lot of defensive attention, his current answer sheet is 5 out of 1 .As long as the opponent is more accurate, the Chinese team will not fall behind.

The U.S. team saw the substitution of the Chinese team, but did not take countermeasures, "Jiao Jian came up, is this going to set up another three-point point on the outside, and now I hope the boys will not be under pressure."

Xu Jicheng was also very nervous at this time, he didn't know what to say at all, Liu Wei controlled the ball steadily, Chris Williams might have played high, but he took the initiative to grab it, Liu Wei couldn't react in time, and didn't change hands , the ball was caught by Chris Williams, and just as the latter was about to break fast, a yellow arm also stretched out from behind him, and with a snap, the ball was slapped to the ground, Jiao Jian had quick eyesight and quick hands , got the ball.No adjustments were made.

Pulled it up and threw it out. The ball hit the rim and flew into the net. Four points. The Chinese team struggled to narrow the point difference to four points.

Rob Evans on the sidelines was a little upset. This Chris Williams was completely idle. If he hadn't taken the initiative to grab that, the Chinese team would not be able to get back these two points. Still don't spray.

The U.S. team still hasn't replaced their best ball handler Steve Logan. Chris Williams handed the ball to Dooling. He knows that the level of passing is not comparable to the latter. When player No. got the ball, his first reaction was to pass the ball to others, because his touch so far is not good.

Apart from average defense, During has almost no other shortcomings, especially in the area of ​​selfless playing, which can be regarded as the best among all the players in the US team this year.

The second position of the US team chose to give the ball to Bobby Simmons. Seeing that the latter received the ball, Zhang Tian immediately pressed for it. Although Simmons averaged about 17 points per game at the peak of the NBA, he could not. To cover up the fact that his ability to hold the ball is almost zero, facing this kind of player, just press him and it's over.

Bobby Simmons and Zhang Tian have been facing each other for the entire game, and he is shocked because the former feels that the third position of the Chinese team is more difficult than Corey Maggette of this year's ncaa championship team Duke Entangled.

The latter seemed to be very familiar with him. When he didn't have the ball, he didn't even look at it. If he had the ball in his hand, he would come to mess with him even across thousands of mountains and rivers.

The mentality of the future most improved player is a bit bursting.He chose the mid-range shot, because holding the ball is really not his strong point, but the moment he shot, Zhang Tian in front of him also jumped up.The outstretched long arm touched the ball, and with a snap, the ball was fanned out, but the referee blew the whistle.

Zhang Tian could only helplessly raise his arm, and Bobby Simmons came to the free throw line with lingering fear. It was really dangerous just now.But he didn’t score any of the two must-hit free throws. The rebound was grabbed by Moko who had just played. He found Liu Wei with a long pass, and the latter scored. Moko is superior in all aspects, and I believe Wang Fei will give this handsome men's basketball player more opportunities in the future.

The Chinese team recovered two more points, Rob Evans began to pace the sidelines non-stop, he still did not pause, and continued to choose to believe in the performance of the players.

Chris Williams did not pass the ball this time, but chose to hit Liu Wei forcefully. After the back hit, he turned around quickly and passed the Chinese team's No. [-] position, but Zhang Tian, ​​who was wearing the No. [-] jersey, The guy made a replacement in time. Chris Williams faced the latter and chose a strong shot. Unfortunately, under the interference of the latter, the ball went out of the basket. Nick Collison grabbed a rebound under the basket, but the replacement The basket was blocked by Moko, Jia Xiaozhong got the rebound and passed the ball to Zhang Tian.

Zhang Tian got the ball and pushed forward. Someone from the US team was chasing and defending, but the speed was obviously a beat slower. Team No. 10 has already caught up." Chris Williams finally caught up, and he jumped up behind Zhang Tian. The former looked like eyes in the back of his head, swayed slightly, and then threw the ball out.Swish, Duang, the sound in front is the sound of scoring a goal, and the sound in the back is the sound of Zhang Tian being overwhelmed.

"Three points, we overtook the score, and now there is still the possibility of continuing to attack with free throws, because there is no defender in front of Xiao Zhang, this will definitely be a physical foul." Xu Jicheng shouted hoarse, Su Junyang Partnering with him in the game is completely a mascot.

Chris Williams knew he was cold the moment he jumped up. Why was he so impulsive? The referee walked up to Team 10 of the US team and gave a physical foul without hesitation.

The former did not appeal, but pulled Zhang Tian up from the floor in a friendly manner. Zhang Tian came to the free throw line and made the free throw. His personal score has broken through to 30 points.

The lead of the Chinese team has also come to 2 points, and now they still have the ball. The time before the end of the game is getting shorter and shorter. Rob Evans still called a timeout. He replaced Casey Jacobson and Steve Logan.In addition to this, white shooter Matt Carroll also replaced Bobby Simmons.

Matt Carroll's defensive pressure on Zhang Tian is much smaller than that of Bobby Simmons. The next time the Huaxia team attacks, Zhang Tian will face Matt Carroll's defense and forcefully break through from the right. Michael Wright, who jumped out from inside, threw the ball high above the basket, and with a bang, Moko also completed a dunk.

Relying on Zhang Tian's physical foul, the Chinese team reversed the situation of the whole game. They kept the lead until the end. In the end, 79:74, the former ushered in a good start, and Zhang Tian scored 34 points in this battle , this score is also the highest score in the game.
