Chapter 396: A Big Victory
He finished with 27 points on 15-of-15 shooting, 3-of-5 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, plus two rebounds and one assist.
This is the data handed over by Zhang Yufeng in the first half, which is better than the data in the last game against the Sword God team, and it is extremely efficient. It was also his brilliant swing that gave the team a 16-point lead.
There is no doubt that after Chen Tianyu was injured, Zhang Yufeng became the team's first main point of attack, and the core position is clear, and there is no suspense in the battle for trump cards!
After the halftime, the game continued, Zhang Yufeng still continued the feeling of the first half, and scored two three-pointers in a row, and they were all created by himself, one of which was forced to score while staring at the defender when he lost his center of gravity!
With these 6 points, the national youth team stretched the difference to 2o points in less than two minutes of the third quarter of the game!
A difference of 2o points!! This is a situation that no one expected.
Although the Australian team lacks the ace player Simmons, it is not weak enough to be abused by the national youth team by 2o points, and in a game at this level, falling behind by 2o points also declares that the game can go into garbage time, because it is too difficult to catch up.
However, the Australian team is clearly unwilling to give up, there is still plenty of time, and it is not impossible to catch up.
The coach of the Australian team called a timeout in time, disciplined the players and rearranged the tactics.
At the end of the timeout, the Australian team decisively changed its defensive strategy and implemented a trap on Zhang Yufeng, as long as Zhang Yufeng took the ball and made a single gesture, he would carry out tactical packing.
Helpless, Zhang Yufeng had to give up the singles, pass the basketball out, and then Ji Fan regained control of the offense.
The embarrassing thing is that the players of the national youth team felt cold, hit the iron again and again, did not score for three minutes, and made two mistakes, and the Australian team seized the opportunity to win frequently, playing a wave of 8:o climax, narrowing the difference to 12 points in one fell swoop.
At the critical moment, Zhang Yufeng stood up again, first broke through the inside line and forced a layup, causing a foul and hitting two free throws steadily, breaking the team's scoring drought, and then receiving two backward jumpers, scoring 6 points in a row, stabilizing the situation and expanding the difference to 16 points.
"Defend him, guard him!!" The coach of the Australian team shouted angrily from the sidelines, but unfortunately to no avail.
In order to prevent the bag, Zhang Yufeng gave up the individual singles, and instead created opportunities through running and covering with teammates.
Ji Fan and Ren Qinwei, the two major passing masters on the court, as long as he runs out of the vacant position, he can get the pass from the two of them as soon as possible.
After getting the ball, even if the defender followed, he was fearless, either turning around and stepping back for a jumper or a step-back jumper, all of which were long-distance 2-pointers, and his teammates on the court shouted again and again, making the opponent more frustrated.
At this time, Zhang Yufeng, like a superstar in the nBa arena, played a dominant performance, not only shocked the opponent, but also stunned his teammates, even Yang Juncheng never expected that Chen Tianyu's injury would provoke an unstoppable Zhang Yufeng.
"It's total control! When did Yu Feng become so powerful? This is not at all on the same level as ours! Zhou Chu sat on the bench and couldn't help but admire, his tone was full of admiration.
"When I first came, I used to taunt him, I was really blind!" Lu Qing's voice buzzed, and the eyes that looked at Zhang Yufeng also changed, from sarcasm and hatred to recognition, and now they have changed to admiration!
Yang Juncheng listened to the discussion of the players, and called it a beauty in his heart, if there was no one, he would have to jump up and celebrate, but now he wants to maintain the majesty of the coach, so he said lightly: "Watch the game well, don't underestimate blindly, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it after the game!" ”
"Oh!" The crowd nodded and said no more.
On the court, the national youth team continued to control the situation, and the players of the Australian team were inevitably depressed in the face of such a point difference and Zhang Yufeng's inexplicable performance, and they missed the team's ace player Simmons even more, and they had no desire to win this game.
The morale of the army is scattered, the state is naturally difficult, and the defense becomes sluggish and slow, as if it is a void. Ji Fan and Ren Qinwei frequently hit the inside line and kept scoring.
Finally, the third quarter of the game ended, the score came to 82:61, and the national youth team entered the fourth quarter with a huge lead.
In the entire third quarter, Zhang Yufeng shot 4 of 7, 2 of 3 three-point shots, and 2 free throws, scoring 12 points again, and the total score became 39 points, only one point short of breaking 4O.
However, the fourth quarter has completely become garbage time, the Australian team is no longer replaced by the main force, and the national youth team is naturally not easy to change again, so the substitutes of both sides played the fourth quarter, especially at the end of the game, Yang Juncheng replaced Liu Zhanfei, Duan Chenfeng, Liang Yuhuai, and other players who did not have many opportunities to play, and exercised.
In the end, the game ended, the score was fixed at 98:87, and the national youth team won the warm-up game with a difference of 11 points, which was also the last warm-up game before the start of the World Youth Championships!!
Zhang Yufeng's data is also fixed at 39 points, but unfortunately he did not play in the last quarter of the game, otherwise it would be a matter of minutes to break through 4o points.
The two teams shook hands and hugged each other, after all, it was their home stadium, and the national youth team still had to show due courtesy.
When the coach of the Australian team shook hands with Yang Juncheng, he was full of praise for Zhang Yufeng.
Yang Juncheng smiled calmly on the surface, and his heart was already happy, he believed that Zhang Yufeng was definitely the most outstanding player in China in recent years, and he would definitely become one of the top basketball players in China in four to five years of growth time, and he would also have great possibilities to enter the NBA.
After the national youth team left the stadium, they rushed to the hospital to see Chen Tianyu's condition.
After the doctor's diagnosis, Chen Tianyu's left wrist was slightly sprained and did not hurt the bone, but it also needed to recuperate for about half a month to fully recover.
The players of the national youth team who got this news breathed a sigh of relief, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, if the bones are injured, then there is really no hope, and now they can recover in half a month, and they can catch up with the World Youth Championships.
After chatting with Chen Tianyu for a while, everyone left the hospital under the leadership of Yang Juncheng and went to a tall restaurant to have a beautiful meal before returning to the training base.
Life returned to normal, Yang Juncheng carefully studied the video of the game with the Australian team, found a lot of shortcomings, and conducted separate training for each player, which was the last special training before the start of the World Youth Championships!
A week later, the national youth team boarded the plane with a sound of blessings and officially embarked on the journey of the World Youth Championships.
