Chapter 192 Youth Competition (7)

So the score reached 42:28 at the end of the second quarter!

Scoring 42 points in the half is quite high for a player-level event, which shows that the frequency and success rate of this team's offense are quite impressive.The U.S. team fell short.

Nash reappeared in the third quarter of the battle.The situation suddenly changed.

Nash was just a less dazzling ace in the previous league.The record of American team fans is not good, even Hex's first team has not won.Few people have noticed Nash's performance. In fact, he has a very versatile performance in shooting, breakthroughs, rebounds and blocks. Over time, his current skills have jumped several steps.

As soon as Nash came on the stage, he immediately contained Long Xun's side attack and directly broke through Long Xun to score a layup in the next round of offense!

Although the U.S. team couldn't defend against Jiang Dongyu, the youth training team couldn't defend against Nash's attack either.

Whether it is positional offense, fast break, or even single defense and zone defense, Nash's performance is remarkable and he has become the only dazzling star of the US team on the court.

He scored 22 points in one breath in the third quarter and led the US team to catch up to 52:6o, pulling the difference to 8 points!

Li Yifan on the sidelines also nodded frequently.

The real gold needs to be tempered by the fire. The real good players will naturally not be buried in the game.

Only 3 minutes into the fourth quarter, Fatty Zhang asked for a rest. It's no wonder that the youth training team played fast and fast. Fatty Zhang not only had to run fast, but also had to fight against rebounding monsters like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Consumes fastest.And Jiang Dongyu, who was the main force, also began to gasp for breath and his face flushed.

Although young people can play the whole game, it depends on what kind of opponent they are. If the opponent is strong, strong and not weak in skills, their physical strength will be consumed quickly.

At this time the score was close to 58:64!

If the main force is replaced, it may mean that the advantages accumulated by the crash will be lost!
Wang Tao frowned and said to Jiang Dongyu in a low voice: "How about you two players?"

Jiang Dongyu knew that he was referring to Zhang Yulai and Wang Siyang who had not played yet and had plenty of physical strength. He hesitated and shook his head: "Their speed and shooting ability are not very good, I'm afraid..."

Wang Tao pondered for a moment and said: "I suggest that you, Fatty Zhang and Long Xun come down, the three of you will consume a lot of energy and don't insist on it."

Jiang Dongyu didn't speak.

Wang Tao saw what he was thinking: "Winning or losing is not the most important thing. Have you ever thought about how other people can exercise if these people are always playing? They will always sit on the sidelines and never be able to make contributions. You have to consider Maybe it's not about today's game but about the future, am I right?"

Jiang Dongyu only nodded.He understood Wang Tao's good intentions, but he felt unwilling to give up the victory in front of him.The youth training team is fully equipped to play.It's almost a whole new lineup.

Point guard Li Yifan, shooting guard Lu Weiben, forward Ma Feifei, forward Zhang Yulai, center Wang Siyang.

Jiang Dongyu could only pin his hopes on Li Yifan's shooting and Ma Feifei's breakthrough. The others simply lacked the strength to compete with their opponents.Such a lineup can't even play a fast break.

As soon as Li Yifan came on stage, all the audience's eyes gathered on him.Although Nash was a small forward and did not face him, he quickly cast a cold look, which seemed to mean, "I'll guard against you!"

Li Yifan had a calm look on his face.He already has a well-thought-out idea of ​​how this lineup should play.

Mr. K is earnestly instructing the players of the US team: "Now is the time to chase points and keep an eye on the number 8 and the inside line. Others don't pay too much attention to defending and choking the scoring points!"

The five players who were about to play nodded their heads vigorously and exercised their muscles and bones.They got enough rest time and are recovering their status bit by bit.Give the most powerful counterattack when the opponent is weakest!
"Jackson, Jack, you are responsible for defending the No. 8. Nash, Masero, you are responsible for defending... Be careful that his speed is very fast, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar must pay attention to protecting the rebound! Go on the court!"

Li Yifan whispered a few words in the ears of Zhang Yulai and Wang Siyang and they all nodded.

Ma Feifei looked at Li Yifan and said, "Are you playing fast break?"

Li Yifan pondered for a moment and said: "Always pay attention to my passing. Once you have a chance, you must break through and score."

Ma Feifei nodded: "Don't worry."

Unlike before, Li Yifan no longer needed Ma Feifei's help to control the ball and advance.The experienced Wang Tao and Jiang Dongyu could both see that Li Yifan's sense of the ball and ball-handling skills had reached a not-so-weak level. Before that, he was just stage-frightened and dared not let go. As the game progressed, he became more and more confident.

The youth training team did not start a fast break.Jiang Dongyu couldn't help frowning.

The U.S. team set up their formation, Jackson came up to Li Yifan, Jack was one or two steps away, ready to defend at any time.

With Li Yifan's current ability, it seems difficult to break through the two-person zone defense, let alone a master's zone defense.

He unhurriedly dribbled the ball a meter away from Jackson and walked slowly around the half court.

Ma Feifei suddenly rushed out from inside, Li Yifan raised the basketball and flew straight into Ma Feifei's hands!

Nash ghostly posted Ma Fei and Ma Siero also left the penalty area and was ready to help defend at any time.At the same time, Li Yifan suddenly activated, caught the ball the moment it brushed against Ma Feifei's body, and rushed to the inside!

"Oops!" Jackson and Jack ran over quickly and Masiero hurried back to his position.

This pulled the US team's defensive center of gravity immediately shifted.

Li Yifan's sudden stop and jump is still so high!But he didn't shoot. The basketball went straight to the other side in the air - the undefended right side of the half court!

Zhang Yulai raised his arm and lightly swung "唰" and hit the hollow!
66:58!The score began to widen!
Li Yifan gave a thumbs up and high fived the excited Zhang Yulai!
The disadvantage of the American team's attacking youth training team immediately appeared. The confrontation ability was several levels weak, and it was impossible to resist the opponent's powerful attack.Jack rushed into the penalty area and forced Zhang Yulai to get back two points!

The youth training team started immediately without waiting for the opponent to take a position.The ball flew straight into Ma Feifei's hand, and immediately rushed forward like lightning!
The speed under Nash's feet is not inferior. Although Ma Feifei is half a body behind, Ma Feifei is quite afraid of his height and arm length. When the offensive is defeated, the ball flies to Li Yifan who is rushing to pamper him!
Li Yifan took the ball and went straight to the penalty area.

He rarely does this because he is only used to the job of a shooter after all, and he is used to standing far outside and taking advantage of opportunities created by gaps or pick-and-rolls.However, Li Yifan has watched many NBA game videos and done a lot of homework. He understands what must be done to open the situation.

Li Yifan rushed to the right side of the second half, and Jackson and Jack hurriedly followed. Unexpectedly, Li Yifan suddenly stopped and sent his hands back to send the ball to Zhang Yulai who was about to run forward!
But just when Jackson and Jack were fully focused on the pass, Li Yifan's hand suddenly changed direction and he didn't even look at it. He swung the basketball with his right hand and passed through the gap between them. Hook!
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't see Wang Siyang catch the ball at all, and naturally he didn't think of the defense. He just froze for a moment when he saw the ball went into his own basket and didn't understand what was going on.

68: 6o!Still an 8-point gap.

While speaking, Ma Feifei's lightning breakthrough had torn apart the US team's defense and successfully scored a goal to expand the score to 7o:6o!

Apparently, Mr. K's tactics didn't work. He originally thought that the youth training team wouldn't be too threatening after the substitution. Who would have expected that Li Yifan's pass would tear through the US team's defense several times in a row, and their players didn't lose their chances. All shots!
Jiang Dongyu off the field couldn't help showing a smile on his face and applauding gently.

He began to realize that whenever he was on the court, he always thought that his players were not strong enough to waste opportunities; however, Li Yifan has completely mobilized several other players who are not good at the game to use their scoring ability. come out.This is indeed a strange phenomenon.Could it be that they can make shots if they follow Li Yifan, but they can't make shots if they follow Jiang Dongyu?Jiang Dongyu fell into deep thought.

Facing Li Yifan's defense, Nash calmly scored two consecutive fake shots and drove the score to 8 points.

In the next round, with the help of Zhang Yulai and Ma Feifei's serial screens, Li Yifan gained a gap at the zero-degree angle and rose from the ground!

Nash couldn't make a save at all and watched Li Yifan pause in the air before making a shot!

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net without any suspense!There was a neat exclamation outside the arena!
As the game progressed, Nash and Li Yifan faced off again.

Before Li Yifan was in position, Nash had already dribbled the ball inside the three-point line, and suddenly his right hand shook as if he was about to collect the ball and shoot!Taking advantage of Li Yifan's stupefied time, Nash's waist sank and the ball quickly swept over as he walked away!
Wang Siyang, who came out of supplementary defense, stopped Nash at the zero angle of the two-point line.Nash immediately took off, like a hook, like a throw, and sent the basketball into the sky with a light stretch of his ape arms!
"Fuck!" Wang Siyang yelled, although he jumped up, but Nash, with his height, arm length and half-hook shooting posture, Wang Siyang raised his hands and couldn't interfere with the basketball flying into the air!

The figure suddenly rose, and when the ball was flying into the air, a hand suddenly blocked its rotation, and "slapped" it into his arms!
The audience was silent.Li Yifan was also slightly taken aback after landing.

"Damn!" Long Xun cried in a low voice, "I'm not mistaken."

Jiang Dongyu's eyes were full of disbelief.

All have seen it.They all thought they were wrong.

Mike murmured, "He...seems...he was at least one centimeter above the basket just now..."

"The ball has been flying in the air for a while, and then it was caught by that kid..." Luo Guaizi said lightly, "This kid is born with a good jumping ability. He looks like a little over 1.7 meters."

"So he can dunk?" Mike asked with wide eyes.

Wang Tao also whispered over there: "It's rare to see that his physical fitness seems to be far beyond our imagination..."

Jiang Dongyu also smiled wryly and said: "I'm afraid our eyes are dazzled. His jump is really scary. How come I have never noticed that Li Yifan seems to be jumping higher than Fatty Zhang."

Nash was not so calm this time, and stood there dumbfounded for a long time.

Ma Feifei restrained the excitement in his heart and scored two more points steadily with a lightning-fast layup!

In fact, he himself didn't expect to jump so high, but he just wanted to prevent Nash from scoring.

In the next round, Nash was obviously affected by the "cap off" just now. Facing Li Yifan's block, although he shot the ball smoothly, he hit the basket and bounced back, and Zhang Yulai held it in his hand.

"Let's go!" Ma Feifei took the ball and rushed forward before Jackson reached out, and Ma Feifei flew past like the wind!
The youth training team advanced throughout the field.Ma Feifei still made a layup under Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's full defense!

The score quickly rose to 76:62 and the 14-point gap was widened. The audience was in an uproar!

There were still 5 minutes before the end of the game. Jack made a strong attack and failed to succeed. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got an offensive rebound in the interior and attacked again. He was fouled by Wang Siyang and missed two free throws.The youth training team failed to succeed in a wave of attacks. Wang Siyang took an inside rebound and Li Yifan made a wonderful pass to Wang Siyang. The latter made a hook. 78:62.

Four minutes before the end of the game, Nash rushed into the penalty area and missed a layup. Wang Siyang grabbed a rebound in front of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. 4 o: 8.

Three and a half minutes before the end of the game, Nash controlled the ball alone and played a fast break. He passed Li Yifan and Zhang Yulai in a row, and under Wang Siyang's full defense, he hit a difficult jumper to rewrite the score to 8o:64.The youth training team launched a counterattack and Li Yifan's outside shot was once again interfered by Nash and failed to hit.

There were still 3 minutes before the end of the game. Nash got the ball from the outside and directly shot a three-pointer and failed to make a hit, but he shot and grabbed a rebound and made a tip-up to catch up to 8o:66.Li Yifan passed a pass to Zhang Yulai who was unguarded. Zhang Yulai missed a shot and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took the rebound.

With two and a half minutes to go, the 14-point gap was almost impossible to recover, and the defeat was a foregone conclusion, but the crowd outside the court became more and more excited not only because of the extraordinary significance of this game, but also because of Nash's final few minutes. Brilliant play, he almost single-handedly propped up the crumbling US team today.If it weren't for Nash's strong defense and offense, the US team would have raised the white flag early.

Nash took a deep breath, held the ball and stood outside the three-point line in front of Li Yifan.

Li Yifan was very surprised by this opponent's performance. Originally, he had already seen through Nash's offensive routine and was very sure to pinch his opponent, but the closer to the end, the more aggressive this person was. His desire to attack, his strength and speed were almost the same. All the way up.Li Yifan was even a little scared.

Nash swayed to the left very quickly. Once he swayed Li Yifan's center of gravity a little, he immediately killed him from the right. He passed Li Yifan, then changed hands drastically and passed Zhang Yulai, who was inside, and flew up to the basket!
Wang Siyang yelled and jumped up too!

Nash leaned back in the air with his belly in his back. At the same time, his left arm blocked Wang Siyang, and his right hand seemed to be throwing and hooking the basketball into the net with a "shua" sound!
At the same time the whistle sounded!Referee Yang pointed at Wang Siyang and said: "No. 9 blocked the foul goal and effectively added a penalty!"

Wang Siyang looked innocent at first and then shrugged.

Standing on the free throw line, Nash let out a sigh of relief, turned the ball in his hands two or three times and then threw it!

Li Yifan screamed in his heart that it was not good to start from outside the three-point line and run in. With his keen sense of the pitcher, he found that Nash had slightly lost a little strength when he made the last shot.A thought flashed through Li Yifan's mind: Nash wanted to use this free throw to score another two points!

However, Li Yifan's movements were still a bit slow, and Nash rushed forward as soon as he shot the ball!
The ball hit the edge of the rim and just bounced back into Nash's hands!
Before the players on both sides could react at all, Nash stretched his ape's arms and gently put the basketball in.

8o: 7o!Nash scored crazy consecutively and completely ignored the defense of the youth training team!

Jiang Dongyu got a little anxious and stood up and said to Wang Tao: "Let's play instead!"

Wang Tao pondered: "There is still a gap of 2 points in 1 minutes, will the outcome change?"

"Looking at the momentum of the opponent, Jiang Dongyu said eagerly, "If it is a professional game, I believe the possibility of reversal is very small, but..."

Wang Tao interrupted him: "Let's look again! If the point difference still narrows, call a timeout."

Li Yifan gave the ball to Ma Feifei under Nash's close watch.Ma Feifei was a little anxious, relying on his advantage in speed, he threw off Jackson who was defending him and rushed directly to the inside, but he didn't expect that the more anxious he became, the more troubles Jack broke the ball.

The US team quickly pushed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to catch the ball from Jack and even made a shot at the two-point line!

The score reached 8o:72!

"Call timeout!" Jiang Dongyu said eagerly.

On the court, Li Yifan gently wiped away the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes met Yu Jing's gaze when he looked towards the sidelines.The girl's eyes were full of trust and anticipation, and the burning heat warmed Li Yifan's heart.He nodded.

Wang Tao didn't answer Jiang Dongyu's words, but said: "He... like you, he doesn't quite understand the secret to victory, but you are just the opposite..."

Jiang Dongyu was at a loss when he heard these nonsensical words.

Li Yifan dribbled the ball and Nash managed to keep up and even went over immediately to block Li Yifan's breakthrough.Unexpectedly, before stepping into the three-point line, Li Yifan suddenly stopped and immediately flew into the air!

"Oops!" Nash yelled secretly, quickly stopped and rushed towards Li Yifan!
His pounce was purely instinctive, and his hands actually touched Li Yifan's face!

"Go!" Li Yifan was blocked by Nash in the air and his body immediately fell, but his arms still maintained a graceful posture. The ball has already flown out of his hand!

The ball is in.

Nash bit his tongue hard, raised his willpower, glanced at the coach, took a last breath, caught the ball and killed the field, and fouled Li Yifan with a three-pointer. Li Yifan accidentally ate his foul.

Then, Nash made a steal at midfield, rebounded at the basket and counterattacked, plus a few three-pointers, and even tied in the last 15 seconds.

Pause back.The two teams played separately.

"Defense!"

"attack!"

There was a roar from both sides.Go on the offensive.

The sound of friction between the sneakers and the floor on the court was endless. Under Nash's constant interference, Long Xun threw the ball to Li Yifan.Ma Feifei held Gasol tightly, and Li Yifan passed the ball to Ma Feifei. Unexpectedly, Ma Feifei made a mistake, failed to get the ball, and was taken by the US team.

12 second 11 seconds...

The US team was on top of them, sweating and panting, staring eagerly at the flying basketball, hoping for a chance.But after all, Nash is the main point guard of the US team and has seen many worlds, and Gasol has been firmly in control of the situation on the court.

Li Yifan has always been staring at Nash. His strong body can match Nash. His ability to steal the ball and fast break is also second to none in the youth training team.But even so Nash still did not let him take advantage of any.It's just that the youth training team with the whole team making it difficult for the US team to smoothly move the ball to the frontcourt.The two sides are entangled repeatedly like this...

9 seconds.

Under Ma Feifei's pursuit, Gasol threw the ball to Jack who ran over to meet him.This situation immediately opened up. After Jack received the ball, he turned around and threw Jiang Dongyu away, and instantly killed him outside the three-point line in the frontcourt.Facing him was Li Yifan.

With a cold snort, Jack skillfully changed direction suddenly and wanted to use absolute speed to pass by Li Yifan's side, but he didn't expect the opponent's lateral movement speed to stick to Jack's side so quickly and nimbly.Because he was worried about a foul, Jack didn't forcibly knock his opponent away. He took a quick shot with his right hand and switched from his crotch to his left hand, followed by another beautiful dribble from his crotch!

"Jack!" Gasol yelled.He asked Jack not to be so hasty.

Before the words were finished, Jack's body shook slightly and the basketball in his hand disappeared.

6 seconds.It was Ma Feifei who stole the ball.

Ma Feifei couldn't hear the shouts of the audience, he didn't know what those people were shouting.With sluggish steps, Jiang made a sharp turn and swayed past Nash. The exhausted Ma Feifei almost fell to the ground, but he still rushed into the frontcourt tenaciously.Gasol stopped in front with that rare, menacing expression.

3 seconds.

Ma Feifei heard the footsteps of Jack running wildly, and in front of him was Gasol who was baring his teeth.

He didn't have time to hesitate and dribbled the ball with his left hand straight down the diagonal and upright.Basketball's eyes opened and he saw Gasol's slender arms and Jack almost eating him.

Fadeaway jumper.But the fadeaway jumper is not invincible.

Gasol pats the ball and passes long to Nash.

Nash stood on the three-point line, catching the ball and bending his knees to shoot.His shooting is as fast and fluid as ever, making it difficult to see the action.

The basketball went up into the sky and the whistle sounded. Nash's mind went blank.

The crowd in the basketball hall seemed to explode suddenly, there was an astonishing shout, and even the roof was about to be toppled over.Nash's ears were rumbling. He thought his ears were ringing, so he just stood there in a daze.Yang Cong rushed over and punched Nash hard on the chest. Jack's strong arms hugged him vigorously, and many people screamed desperately, the whole world is crazy!

He looked up with a smirk, and the time on the scoreboard had run out.

Nash's buzzer-beater at the last minute
After the game, the coach of the US team was furious, and sent their original team back to their hometown, pulling back the members of the first team, all of whom were players in this year's general election. This was also the super substitution event that shocked the world later.

The youth training team is very satisfied. This game cannot be said to be a loss. It is also capable of forcing the US team to this point.
