Chapter 172, Fight Endurance
"Hey, you guys, you know the difference between the substitutes and the main team, look at what you guys played in the second half!" Tamika Griner said to Anna Katekins and her substitutes in the U.S. dressing room.
"Hmph, that's not necessarily, you guys played for a long time, the backup power forward hasn't played yet, and before the power forward came up, we played very well!" Susan Casey said unconvinced.
"yes, we're actually playing pretty well, and we're no worse than you guys before the power forward comes up!" says Anna Katechens, unconvinced.
"I think so, I think even if Lindsay is on the court, she can't beat that power forward, she's very good!"
"Oh, hahaha, look at the unconvinced looks of you, okay, I'll show you how we played in the second half!" said Andel Candace exclaimed.
"Okay, we'd like to see it!"
"That's it, hum, standing and talking doesn't hurt your back!"
"When you are beaten by that big forward, don't say I didn't remind you!"
……
The substitutes said one after another.
Head coach Mike Harris sat on the sidelines and smiled and watched them arguing, this is his only fun in this team, as the head coach of the American team, boredom has become his main theme in the World Series, but the big forward of the Chinese team should really take a good look, although he is confident that the American team will definitely win this game 99.99%, but still can't relax.
After three minutes, players from both sides entered the stadium one after another, many players began to warm up on the court, and two minutes later, the third quarter of the game would officially begin.
Yang Zifeng and Wang Tuo walked back to their seats.
"What are you doing?" asked Cui Maixiang.
"I just went to do something, hehe. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
"Two big men went to the toilet for ten minutes together, and it was really ......emotional," Liu Tiange said as he sat behind them.
"I don't want to pay attention to you. Yang Zifeng glanced at Liu Tiange and said.
"Hehe, I see, the two of them are fortunately both boys, otherwise there would have been no one else by now. Cui Maixiang also said with a smile.
"Team leader, please don't say that!" Wang Tuo said with some embarrassment.
"Maizi, this kind of joke can't be made casually. Yang Zifeng looked at Cui Maixiang speechlessly and said.
"Hahaha, junior brother, what are you afraid of, even if the two of you are together now, I can accept it to everyone. Xu Ning looked at Yang Zifeng with a smile and said.
"Hey, senior brother, why did you come down and stop accompanying those Japanese girls?" Yang Zifeng said with a change of words.
"Hello!"
"Hey, handsome!"
"Were you looking for us?"
I saw three heads sticking out from behind Xu Ningdi and said with a smile to Yang Zifeng, only to see Oda Maki, Akai Junko and Kyokawa Miyoko all sitting next to Xu Ning.
"I'll go!" Yang Zifeng was startled, "A few of you actually came down!"
"Yes, it just so happens that there is a seat here, so Xu Jun will let us come down and sit together!" Oda Maki said with a smile.
"Your Chinese language is really getting more and more fluent. Yang Zifeng said.
"Thanks for the compliment, what I'm interested in, the speed of mastery is still very fast. Maki Oda said.
"So, are you sure about the relationship?" Yang Zifeng suddenly looked at Oda Maki with a mysterious smile and said, hearing Yang Zifeng's question, the others also looked at Xu Ning with a lewd face.
"Ahh Oda said with a smile.
"Maki, don't pay attention to them, my junior brother is tricking you at this time, don't pay attention to him. Xu Ning said speechlessly.
"Trap me......" Oda said, scratching his head with his fingers.
"Forget it, just ignore him! Anyway, what he just said was not a good thing. Xu Ning said.
"Senior brother, what are you calling not a good word, I am concerned about your lifelong affairs. Yang Zifeng said.
"Yes, if you care about your life's events, you can tell me whether you have established a relationship. ”
"Yes, let's talk about it, and we'll give you a blessing party then. ”
"Transnational love, interesting!"
……
The other team members all said one after another, on the surface, they cared about Xu Ning, but Xu Ning could see from their dirty expressions that these guys purely wanted to see the excitement.
"Hey, Xu Ning, yes, no, no, no, you can talk about it. Cui Maixiang also said anxiously.
"Maizi, why can't you ......" Xu Ning looked at Cui Maixiang speechlessly.
"Toot ......!" the whistle blew for the start of the third quarter, and players from both sides walked back onto the court.
The U.S. team replaced all the main players at the beginning, while the Chinese team was Zhao Chun, Xu Li, Lin Fengfei, Zhao Meiyue and Zhuang Yan.
"At this time, Brother Ji didn't even send Jiang Yulian, what's going on?" Yang Jia said in surprise.
Although Jiang Yulian is very powerful, her playing style is skewed, which is not conducive to the overall team's cooperation, and her defense is also a loophole, so Ah Rucai did not replace her again. Cui Maixiang said.
In the third quarter, the United States team took the lead in attacking, only to see Silvia Katekins with the ball across the half, Zhao Chun did not dare to slack off and watched him closely.
"Silvia!" At this time, Lindsay Rena, who was on the inside, shouted, and when he came up, he was going to single-handedly beat Zhao Meiyue and give the Chinese team a dismount.
Silvia took the ball to 60 degrees to the right of the three-point line and then played the ball high to Lindsay Reena on the right side of the basket.
Lindsay Rena receives a pass from Silvia Katechens and motions for everyone to disperse.
The rest of the U.S. team all pulled out in all directions, giving her room to attack.
"Hmph, I want to see how capable you are!" Lindsay Rena said in her heart, seeing her back to Zhao Meiyue, she was about to push her under the basket, but after she pushed her twice, she was surprised to find that her position not only did not take a step forward in the direction of the basket, but she was one step away from the basket.
"Why is this guy's strength so great, it seems that you can't use brute force, you have to use skill......" Lindsay Rena thought here, only to see her suddenly turn counterclockwise to the left, the arm of her left hand blocked Zhao Meiyue's body, and her right hand dribbled the ball from the position of the bottom line, killing to the basket, she was very fast, and the angle and method of turning around were also very tricky, and the general first-class interior line couldn't prevent her own move!
However, just when her body was neck with Zhao Meiyue, suddenly an overwhelming force struck, directly pushing her out of bounds.
"Throw-in, convert possession!" the referee decided.
"What? she pushed people, you see?" said Lindsay Rena loudly to the referee.
"Hands up!" the referee gestured to Lindsay Rena.
Lindsay Rena had no choice but to raise her hand.
"How can this guy's strength be so strong, is she Asian?" Lindsay Rena said as she looked at Zhao Meiyue and said in her heart.
"Hmph, see, and laugh at us, the captain can't let it go!" said Abi Lilly on the sidelines, sneering.
"Yes, I didn't expect Zhao Meiyue to perform so well, if only I had replaced him earlier!" said Li Yuan in the studio.
"Yes, in the previous game, Zhao Meiyue's performance was very ordinary, plus there were a lot of insiders in our team, so she couldn't be seen, but now in this game, when Zhuang Yan Wang Yihuan and these people can't be opened, she finally began to shine. Suqi said.
The Chinese team attacked, Zhao Chun took the ball to the top arc of the three-point line, at this time Lin Fengfei, who was standing in the bottom corner of the right side of the three-point line, ran up quickly, Zhao Chun saw this and passed the ball over, but just when the ball left Zhao Chun's hand, Sylvia Katechens suddenly reached out and broke the ball.
"What?" Zhao Chun shouted in surprise.
"Hmph, you're really careless, don't think that your power forward is doing well, you can be like her, you're still far behind!" Sylvia Katechens sneered, only to see that after she broke the ball, she rushed to the half of the Chinese team, Lin Fengfei, Zhao Chun and Xu Li couldn't catch up with her!
"Whew!" the ball was safely placed in the basket by Sylvia Katechens.
At 65:53, the difference came to 12 points.
"This pass is so distracting, be careful!" said Suki in the studio.
"Don't get distracted, it's a critical moment. Li Yuan also said.
The Chinese team continued to attack, Zhuang Yan gave the ball to Zhao Chun's hands, Zhao Chun thought about half the court with the ball, when Silvia Katekins suddenly came up to press.
"If you want to rush at this time, you have to hurry up and give the ball to Feng Fei!" Cui Maixiang said.
However, Zhao Chun did not pass it to Lin Fengfei as Cui Maixiang thought, but gave the ball to Xu Li, who was very close to her, but before the ball was in Xu Li's hand, it was directly broken by Mara Morley.
"I knew that I must not give the ball to Xu Li, what are you doing, Zhao Chun!" Cui Maixiang couldn't help but shout.
Mara Molly broke the ball, dribbled two steps forward, then got up and threw the ball.
"Whew!" the ball hollowed into the net.
At 68:63, the difference came to 15 points, but Ji Jinru had no intention of calling a timeout.
"Most of the players of the U.S. team have been resting for more than half a quarter, so everyone is very energetic, and it is absolutely no problem to play a tight defense of the whole court, and this is what we are afraid of!" Yang Yujia said.
"That's right, at this time, if you want to dribble through half the court, there is only one person who can do it, and that is Feng Fei, and no one else can. Cui Maixiang said.
"Ah, why, I don't quite understand?" Yu Fei said.
"Because Feng Fei is facing Candace as the defender, her defensive ability is a little worse than Sylvie and Mara. Cui Maixiang said.
"No, in my opinion, there is one more point that is okay. Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
"Ah, who?" Cui Maixiang asked, looking at Yang Zifeng.
"I think that person should know about it, too. Yang Zifeng looked at Ji Zhenru who was standing on the sidelines and said with a smile.
"Chun! try to dribble the ball through the half court by herself, it doesn't matter if she comes over to break the ball, don't be afraid!" Ji Zhenru said loudly to Zhao Chun at this time.
"Coach, I ...... I can't seem to her. Zhao Chun said.
"Believe in yourself, you can!" Ji Jinru said.
"Come on, pure, come on!" Zhuang Yan said.
"Okay, I'll try!" Zhao Chun nodded.
"I feel like Zhao Chun is like a child in front of Sylvia!" (Japanese)," Miyoko Kyokawa said.
"Yes, after all, the strength is too bad. (Japanese)" Junko Akai said.
"Not necessarily, I don't think Zhao Chun's strength is so bad. (Japanese)" said Maki Oda.
"That's when you're in the right place, Maki, to put it mildly, if you face Sylvia, it's probably similar to Zhao Chun, and you'll be played by her as a child!" (Japanese). Miyoko Kyokawa said.
"No...... I think that as long as you believe in yourself, at this time, Zhao Chun will have absolutely no problem breaking through Sylvia's defense!" (Japanese) "Maki Oda said.
"Ahh
"Because Sylvia isn't an iron man!" (in Japanese)," Oda said.
The Chinese team attacked, Zhao Chun carried the ball across the half, Silvia Katechens came up again to press, this time Zhao Chun did not pass the ball, but directly in the position of almost half court and Silvia Katechens whirled.
"I have to believe in myself, I must believe in myself, only then can I defeat Sylvia!" Zhao Chun said in his heart.
"Wow, what is Zhao Chun doing at this time? Fighting Sylvia?" Cui Maixiang said loudly.
"That's right, if we compare physical fitness, we Asians are not as good as blacks, but if we compare endurance, we won't lose!" Yang Zifeng said with a smile.
I saw that the two of them were constantly trembling in front of or behind or left or right, and gradually, people were surprised to find that Zhao Chun had been grinding hard with Sylvia Katechens alone, and he was stunned for half the time!
"Damn, you guys are really energy-hungry!" said Sylvia Katechens, looking at Zhao Chun.
"Don't talk nonsense! If you have the ability, come and grab it again!" (English)," Zhao Chun said toughly.
"I'll go, Zhao Chun is really out of breath, he dared to resist Sylvia's pressure and force half the game. Cui Maixiang said in surprise.
"Actually, this has something to do with Silvia's physical strength, she is the only main player on the field from the beginning to the present, so far, she has not rested, pressing defense is a way of defense that requires a lot of physical strength, so as long as Zhao Chun gritted his teeth and held on, with Silvia's current physical strength, she couldn't grab her ball. Yang Zifeng said.
"The physical strength of the two is about the same now, so it depends on whose stamina is better. Liu Tiange said.
"Senior sister, give me the ball!" Zhao Meiyue shouted loudly as she stuck in position under the basket.
"Mitsuki, come on!" Zhao Chun jumped up and slammed the ball to the inside!
Zhao Meiyue raised her arms and got the ball passed by Zhao Chun!
"Good ball, this ball is well passed!" Cui Maixiang said loudly.
