Chapter 80: A Bad Start
According to the schedule, after the game, the Huaxia team will face the host country X team, and this time the Huaxia country will go to another city to compete with the X country team, so the Huaxia team will spend the rest time on the plane, which will also be a test for the Huaxia team.

Different venues, players will consume a lot of physical energy during the journey and the game.Especially such a continuous game without rest time is a very hard work for the players.

The Huaxia team slept for a while on the flight, but the loud noise, the turbulence when encountering air currents, and the aviation command while waiting to get on and off the plane all made them rest very poorly.However, the Huaxia team is quite lucky. The previous few games were played in the same venue, so it's their turn to run around. They can't take all the good things!

Country X men's basketball team is a strong team in the world basketball world. It has won the men's basketball European Championship, the men's basketball World Cup champion and the Olympic men's basketball runner-up for many times. It is now ranked No. 2 in the world.In last year's Men's Basketball World Cup, he won all eight games and won the championship.

It can be said that if there is no Jiangbei, there is a high probability that country M and country X will compete for the final championship in this World Youth Championship.

The X-Nation's starting lineup is point guard Helson Vasili, shooting guard Neville Chambers, small forward Collen Smart, power forward Gurange Poole, and center Tito Greco.This lineup can be said to be very strong, and it is probably the most difficult game to play.

It is worth mentioning that their starting point guard Vasili is a short player with a height of only 180cm. In this sport of giants, the height of 180cm is not outstanding, but from the previous games, this player has very good fighting spirit and skills. It is said that his vertical jump can reach 100cm.

Their shooting guard Chambers is the core player of this team. Chambers played in the European Championships in the early days and has been playing with players older than himself. In the World Youth Championship, his three-point shooting rate reached an astonishing 42.8%.At the same time, his offensive methods are also very rich, and he is a player who is not easy to deal with.

The Huaxia team's starting lineup remains unchanged.Yu Jiahao has been in a state of excitement since his wonderful performance in the last game, and he is full of anticipation for the upcoming game.

After Jiangbei and the others arrived at the competition venue, they only rested for less than an hour before the competition.

Because it was a game in country X, today's arena was extremely hot, and the fans were very enthusiastic. Jiangbei and the others felt a different feeling as soon as they entered the stadium. The pressure of the away game immediately fell on every player of the Huaxia team.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the situation was very unfavorable for the Huaxia team.

According to the tactical arrangement, Jiangbei first gave the ball to his teammates to play. Excited, Yu Jiahao scored two goals at the beginning with a burst of momentum.However, as Country X stepped up its defensive efforts, Yu Jiahao suffered from the aftermath of his exhausted journey. His physical exertion increased and his footsteps slowed down.

For the Huaxia team, after the other teammates failed to start the game, the ball came to Jiangbei. Jiangbei first made two tentative shots from the middle distance to try his hand. Neither Chambers nor Smart was a particularly good defensive player. They could not interfere too well with Jiangbei's jumper, and the basketball hit the net.

In terms of defense, Chambers didn't play much. Maybe he saw Greco's offense opened up, so his desire to attack was not very strong, so the first quarter of the game became a confrontation between Jiangbei and Greco. Jiangbei scored 13 points in a single quarter.Yu Jiahao made 6 of 2 shots and only scored 4 points.

In order to give the main players more rest time, coach Wang Xidong replaced the substitutes in advance. At Jiangbei's request, Jiangbei continued to lead the substitute lineup. Because of Jiangbei's systematic existence, the disturbance of the journey basically had no effect on him.

However, Jiangbei was double-teamed in the second half of the first quarter, and when Jiangbei passed the ball, his teammates repeatedly hit the iron open, and the situation was not optimistic.

After the first quarter, the Huaxia team's offensive efficiency was extremely low, and the Huaxia team ended the first quarter at 17:25.

Jiang Bei looked helplessly at the sluggish teammates around him.He had already fed the opportunity to his teammates, but they still couldn't make a goal, which made Jiangbei a little helpless.

The overall strength of the Huaxia team was originally inferior to that of the X country team. Now that the state is not good, coach Wang Xidong also has a headache and doesn't know what to do.

Coach Wang Xidong sent Shi Kui and Jiangbei to partner in the first half of the second quarter to share some pressure on Jiangbei, hoping to stabilize the situation.Wang Xidong knows that in the eyes of the domestic media, the U17 national youth team this year is strong and strong, but it lacks the ability to adapt.

The Huaxia team did not have a player who could stand up and adjust the team's rhythm after falling behind in the starting lineup. The team's offensive rhythm completely relied on Jiangbei.It is impossible for Jiangbei to play the whole game. For now, Jiangbei played nearly 30 minutes in each game, which is already a lot of time. At one time, Wang Xidong was very worried about Jiangbei's health.

Jiangbei's physical fitness is very abundant, and following Kobe's devil training is also the reason why Jiangbei can maintain such a high-intensity game.

Fortunately, after a period of rest in the second quarter, Shi Kui finally played a relatively normal performance. With the cooperation of Jiangbei and Shi Kui, he finally stabilized the situation and did not continue to widen the score gap.On the defensive end, Jiangbei put a very strong pressure on the opponent's substitute, but the defensive players on Shi Kui's side made him play very comfortably.

Although the offensive end is mostly singles, Jiangbei has the ability to catch offense and defense transitions, and his offensive efficiency is far different from that of the opponent.

In the first half of the second quarter, after chasing points for a period of time, Wang Xidong replaced Jiang Bei to rest. He hoped that Jiang Bei could retain his physical strength and use it to play a more important role in more critical times.

When he was about to end the game, Jiang Bei said to Yu Jiahao: "Jiahao, I need you to be able to play like the last game and blow up the opponent's inside line, do you understand?"

If the inside line cannot be opened, Jiangbei will be double-teamed by his opponent without any scruples, which will cause Jiangbei to waste more energy, which is not worth the candle.

Yu Jiahao blushed. He knew that his performance in the first quarter was really bad, so he patted his chest and said, "Look at me!"
