Chapter 89 Jiangbei's Counterattack

After the first quarter of the two sides, the Huaxia team is 18:26M and the national team is behind by 8 points. This is still the first half of the first quarter, and the two sides are testing each other.

Jiangbei scored 10 points in the first quarter, accounting for more than half of the team's points. The others only scored eight points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the M country team maintained a high offensive efficiency and blossomed more points. The alternating attacks of Kessler and Dean made Feng Mingzhen exhausted on the defensive end and a little overwhelmed.

Facing such an extremely fast forward, Feng Mingzhen did not perform very well on the defensive end, but on the offensive end he stood up to Dean and scored a few goals, which can be regarded as helping the team stop the bleeding in time.

The two sides still played back and forth in the first half of the second quarter. The Huaxia team performed better than in the first quarter. In addition, Shi Kui and Qian Zilong cooperated tacitly on the outside and hit three-pointers repeatedly, saving part of the situation.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitute players, and the situation changed suddenly. The Huaxia team's substitute lineup was far worse than that of the M country team. It was even difficult to pass the halftime normally.

Afterwards, it was difficult for the cautious Huaxia team's substitute to dribble the ball past halftime. The referee whistled an 8-second violation. Seeing this, Jiangbei couldn't sit still. Get back on the court and play the role of point guard.

With the addition of Jiangbei, the Huaxia team's offense was on the right track, but the score on the field did not improve. It was really because of the disappointment of the teammates that they failed to score several open shots.

Jiangbei had no other choice but to choose himself. Relying on his excellent defensive ability, Jiangbei led the team to launch a full-court press, completed two steals and successfully helped the team score four points.

Looking back, the M country team made a mid-range shot, and Jiang Bei got a long rebound, launched a fast-break counterattack, stopped and shot a jumper outside the three-point line, and scored a three-pointer.

Jiangbei's 7-0 offensive climax directly helped the Huaxia team close the score gap. The head coach of the M country team approached Robinson and said: "When you come on the field, let me keep an eye on No. 24. As long as he is blocked, we will surely win this game. The other players of the Huaxia team are nothing to be afraid of!"

"No problem, coach, leave it to me, he won't score another point later!" Robinson replied confidently, he was still very confident in his own strength, and thought it would not be easy to defend against a Huaxia boy alone, I really don't know why the coach and Jimmy attach so much importance to this Huaxia kid.

At this time, Jiangbei hit the basket again, scored two points with his outstanding personal ability, and caused a foul by the opponent's power forward, which required an additional penalty. The head coach of the M country team took advantage of this opportunity to quickly replace Robinson.

After Jiang Bei made a free throw, he quickly retreated to his own half and prepared for defense.

Robinson pushed forward with the ball and found Jiangbei, "Huaxia boy, you are said to be very good recently, let me test your strength, is it as good as they say!"

Jiang Bei smiled slightly, "You can just try it!"

Listening to Jiang Bei's tone, Robinson didn't seem to care about himself, nor was he annoyed, "Then let me see your strength!"

After finishing speaking, Robinson suddenly accelerated and broke through from Jiangbei's left side. Jiangbei quickly moved across, blocking Robinson's advancing route.

Seeing this, Robinson directly chose to cross over, trying to break through Jiangbei's defense.

Jiang Bei was very happy when he saw this situation. Isn’t this the breakthrough method he used in the training camp before? Cross-stepping is not uncommon in games. Almost every player can do it. The technical problems are almost the same. Eddie Jones told Jiang Bei how to steal this kind of ball. In the intensive training of the training camp, Jiang Bei not only trained the ability to break double teams, but also talked with Eddie Jones. I learned a lot of defensive skills from Mucci Blaylock. Facing two players selected to the best defensive team, it is not in line with Jiangbei's style not to take the opportunity to learn quickly.

Jiangbei watched Robinson's movements closely. At the moment when a loophole appeared, Jiangbei, with quick eyes and quick hands, quickly completed the steal, and quickly rushed to the basket in one-stop, completing a dunk.

"Well, the strength is not bad! Is it as good as they blow!" Jiang Bei asked Robinson with a smile.

Robinson felt a little embarrassed by being intercepted by Jiangbei. He had promised the coach that Jiangbei would not score another point before going on the court, but he was intercepted once by the opponent as soon as he came up, and scored two points. He secretly glanced at the coach on the sidelines, I saw the coach's face was gloomy, as if he was very disappointed in himself.

Coupled with Jiang Bei's provocation now, Robinson was furious, staring at Jiang Bei viciously and said: "Boy, I was careless just now, it will not be so simple after a while, you have successfully angered me!"

Jiang Bei shrugged indifferently, then went straight back to defense, ignoring Robinson's reaction.

In this attack, although Robinson was very angry with Jiangbei, he did not lose his mind and advanced with a more cautious dribble.

Jiangbei didn't dare to steal easily when facing the cautious Robinson. He was easily out of position, allowing Robinson to take the opportunity to break through, so Jiangbei had to follow Robinson tightly to prevent him from shooting space.

Seeing that the attack time was approaching, Robinson forced a shot, but was interfered by Jiangbei. The basketball bounced off the basket, and the Huaxia team took the opportunity to pick up the rebound and handed it to Jiangbei to launch a counterattack.

This time, the M national team returned to the defense very quickly and lost the opportunity for a fast break, and the two sides fell into a positional battle.

Jiang Bei made a gesture to open up the space and create a chance for Jiang Bei to play singles.

Robinson defended against Jiangbei alone, and said viciously: "Stinky boy, don't even think about scoring against me this time, not every time you have such good luck!"

Jiang Bei didn't talk nonsense with him, he dribbled the ball left and right continuously, shaking Robinson's center of gravity, and quickly broke through from the left to the inside.

Robinson's reaction speed was very fast, he quickly stabilized his figure, and chased Jiangbei, and barely caught half of Jiangbei's body. Jiangbei took advantage of Robinson's speed to catch up, stopped suddenly, shot a backward jumper, and hit two points from the mid-range .

Seeing this, the head coach of Team M hurriedly called a timeout, called Robinson to his side and said, "Don't play alone with him, use the advantages of the lineup, play more tactics, and let others cooperate with you to double-team him on defense. Others can just let them shoot, and their shooting percentages cannot be guaranteed!"

Robinson also knew that his performance in these attacks was not good, which made the coach very angry. He nodded to show that he knew it. He was afraid that if he didn't do what the coach said, he might not have the chance to play.
