Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 489 A Difficult First Half
After the Yugoslav team grabbed the rebound, they continued to launch a fast-break counterattack. After a few simple diagonal passes, Stojakovic, who was located in the bottom corner of one side, had another chance to make a three-point shot. He made a three-pointer without hesitation. shot.

It's a pity that his three-pointer missed this time, and the Chinese team was lucky to escape.

After Zhou Yu grabbed the rebound, he directly held the ball and quickly advanced, using his skillful ball-handling skills to pass two Yugoslav players one after another, and shot a "super-long three-pointer" from about half a meter away from the three-point line.

The basketball crossed a beautiful parabola and failed to hit it in the end.

The Yugoslav team grabbed the rebound, and during the transition between offense and defense, Stojakovic had another chance to shoot a three-pointer. However, this time he was not eager to shoot a three-pointer, but moved forward with the ball for a certain distance and shot With a standard mid-range shot, the basketball hits the net with a crisp sound!
"12:4", the Yugoslavia team led the Chinese team by as many as eight points.

Facing the Yugoslavia team with excellent outside shooting, Zhou Yu felt very cold in his heart. He couldn't fight against them, and he couldn't defend against them, so what could he do?

The Chinese team's new round of offensive soon started. Facing the situation of being behind by a large score, Zhou Yu had to slow down the offensive rhythm a little bit, and waited for his teammates to find a position before passing the ball.

After Zhang Jinsong received the ball, he showed his true qualities of "Desperate Saburo" and rushed to the inside with the ball.

Jarich, who was defending him, was a little dazed at first, but then he quickly stabilized his position and stuck in his position, making Zhang Jinsong's breakthrough difficult.

Ah's Jiang saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried over to respond, and Zhang Jinsong took the opportunity to pass the ball to Ah's Jiang.

Ah Dijiang's speed and dribbling skills are still second to none in the national team. Using two consecutive crotch dribbles followed by a change of direction to accelerate, Ah Dijiang went deep into the hinterland of the Yugoslav team, but after chasing after blocking, Not too good a chance to make a move.

In the next second, Ah Dijiang made a precise lateral pass and passed the ball to Li Nan who was lying in ambush in one corner.

Although the defender is not far from Li Nan, at this moment Li Nan can only gamble, facing the opponent's block, struggling to throw the ball.

The basketball crossed a high parabola and entered the net with a crisp sound!

"12:7", the Chinese team trailed the Yugoslavia team by five points. The good news is that the outside pitchers of the Chinese team finally opened, which made Zhou Yu a long sigh of relief.

The Yugoslavia team then launched a frenzied counterattack. Relying on smooth pass and cut cooperation and excellent personal skills, the Chinese team was hard to defend.

What's more terrible is that the shots of the Yugoslav players all have a certain degree of anti-interference, that is to say, even if you block the shots in place, they still have a high chance of throwing the ball into the basket.

At this moment, Zhou Yu finally saw clearly that the huge gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and the world's top teams cannot be bridged overnight.

In order for the Chinese team to continue to maintain their hope of competing for the championship, Zhou Yu had to exert his strength in advance in the first quarter, using his super personal ability to beat Radmanovic.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at "30:23", with Yugoslavia leading the Chinese team by seven points.

In the second quarter of the game, Zhou Yu and other main players continued to stay on the court. In order to save energy, Zhou Yu handed over the possession of the ball to Ah Dijiang, while he wandered outside, looking for suitable opportunities to make shots.

The progress of the game was still very unfavorable to the Chinese team. The Yugoslavian team became more courageous as they fought. Seeing the frequent defensive loopholes of the Chinese team, they shot more decisively and simply. Whenever there was a chance, they would choose to shoot without hesitation.

However, under the strong interference of the opponent's outside shooting, the Chinese team's shooting percentage still did not change much, and they played quite passively.

In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to pin his hopes on the rookie Yao Ming. Although Yao Ming was still immature at this time, his height advantage was an indisputable fact. Coupled with his good touch, it was enough to pose a certain threat to Yugoslavia's inside line.

Zhou Yu used his good awareness of air-cut moves to attract the opponent's attention while constantly sending out exquisite assists to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming also lived up to expectations. Facing the NBA star Divac, he was not afraid and played as he should. He frequently hit small hooks and fadeaway jumpers.

After the second quarter, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at "51:46". Although the Chinese team was still five points behind the Yugoslavia team, they finally maintained their hope of winning the championship. The second half of the game is still very interesting.

"Director Zhang, the Chinese team was able to play back and forth with the Yugoslavia team in the first half, thanks to the performance of the inside players."

Su Qun, who was on the commentary seat, sighed.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that at the end of the first half, the Chinese team was only five points behind the Yugoslavia team. You know, the Yugoslavia team is a super-class basketball team in the world."

Zhang Weiping said with emotion.

"Director Zhang, I think that if the Chinese team wants to create miracles, the outside players must perform well, and it is not enough to rely solely on the inside."

Su Qun said bluntly.

"You're right. If the Chinese team can't shoot three-pointers, it will be very difficult to beat the powerful Yugoslavia team."

Zhang Weiping nodded.

"Director Zhang, the Chinese team may be even more difficult to play in the third quarter, because both Da Zhi and Yao Ming need to rest, and the inside advantage will be gone. Once the Yugoslavia team opens the score, it may be difficult to catch up in the fourth quarter. "

Su Qun faintly worried.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. The third quarter is very important, but Da Zhi and Yao Ming's physical exertion is too great to stay on the court and it will be more difficult for outside shooters to shoot."

Zhang Weiping nodded in empathy.

During the halftime break, Wang Fei came over to discuss with Zhou Yu, and asked him if he could stay on the court to take charge of the overall situation in the third quarter.

"Coach, do you think I can still stay on the court?"

Zhou Yu wheezed and smiled wryly.

"Big Zhi, I know that your physical strength is close to exhaustion, but you must have noticed that if you were not on the court, the game might end early in the third quarter."

Wang Fei said bluntly with a helpless face.

"Coach, I understand your difficulties, but if I continue to stay on the court, not only will it not be effective, but it will hinder the whole team."

Zhou Yu sighed.

"How about it, Da Zhi, as long as you can stay on the court, you can do nothing. As long as you stand on the court, I have a solid foundation in my heart."

Wang Fei said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Zhou Yu thought about it, standing on the field without doing anything, what is the difference between that and a mascot, it seems that Wang Fei really has nothing to do.

"Okay, coach, I'll do my best."

Zhou Yu finally nodded and agreed.

"Well done, Da Zhi, as expected of us from the Bayi team, he is so bloody in his actions."

Wang Fei patted Zhou Yu on the back with relief.

Zhou Yu looked at Wang Fei wanting to cry without tears, and thought, coach, coach, can't you change some new words, my ears are so callused.

After the 10-minute break, the players from both sides re-entered the game.

The Yugoslavia team sent all substitutes, while the Chinese team lined up a lineup close to the starting lineup:
Point guard: Li Xiaoyong, shooting guard: Wu Qinglong, small forward: Hu Weidong, power forward: Wang Zhizhi, center: Wu Naiqun.

Although Zhou Yu's physical strength has not yet recovered, the role of staying on the field cannot be ignored. The Yugoslav team saw the obvious difference in Zhou Yu and refused to relax his defense at all.

And Zhou Yu also took advantage of this opportunity to mention high positions, and continued to use long-distance precise passes to deliver "cannonballs" to his teammates.
