Chapter 424: The Final Four Begin

The second day was a battle for the other two spots in the semi-finals, and after a day of fighting, Australia and Spain came out on top and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Among them, Spain defeated Lithuania, so that the game lost suspense early, while the other match between Australia and Argentina was extremely fierce, and finally through an overtime battle, the Australian team won the game in one fell swoop with the ace player Simmons's three consecutive attacks!

The semi-finals are out, and the battle table is also out.

The first match between the United States and Spain will be a repeat of the pinnacle matchup of the O8 Olympic Games!

The second match between China and Australia was a showdown between two new powerhouses.

Both games were suspenseful.

The mighty U.S. team swept all the way, but there was suspense against Spain, and even the bookmakers offered very conservative odds.

In the other game, it stands to reason that Australia has an absolute advantage, but the strong rise of the Chinese team does not dare to be underestimated, especially in the warm-up match before the start of the World Youth Championships, the Chinese team also won the Australian team, and it was a big victory, although there was no Simmons in that game, but the huge point difference still reflects the strong strength of the national youth team.

Not only that, but there is a bigger highlight of this game, which is the duel between the aces Zhang Yufeng and Simmons on both sides.

The duo are now the first and third players in the scoring charts, so which of the two is stronger will be directly reflected in this game.

Two days later, the Los Angeles Coliseum hosted the first match of the Final Four, with the United States taking on Spain.

This game has received great attention in the United States, and it has been broadcast live in the United States, and many NBA stars have come to watch this game and cheer for their country!

At the beginning of the game, both teams played at a very high level, both in terms of individual ability and tactical coordination, both teams played at the most perfect level.

The first quarter of the game was very close, the two sides went back and forth to each other, the score was alternately leading, and no one could open the score gap.

In the second quarter, the momentum of the Spanish team gradually weakened, while the American team ushered in a burst, under the leadership of the team's core Kyrie Irving, after a wave of 1o:2 offense, the score opened in one fell swoop, and finally at the end of the first half, the score was 62:5o, and the American team led by 12 points.

Among them, Irving scored 2o points in the first half of the game, becoming the best American player in the first half.

In the second half of the game, he continued to be powerful, breaking through the attack in a row, and opened the score to 18 points in just two minutes, which has a great momentum.

But Spain, as a European phenomenon-level powerhouse, how could it easily bow its head and admit defeat, and suddenly threatened after a timeout, playing a wave of 18:8 climax, narrowing the gap to 8 points at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Spanish team relied on the explosion of the substitute to continue to chase the score and narrow the score to 4 points.

Helplessly, the U.S. team replaced Owen with less than two minutes of rest, he continued to maintain his hot hand, scored 1o points in a row, and helped the U.S. team open the gap again, and finally the Spanish team was unable to recover, losing to the U.S. team with an 11-point gap, ending the World Youth Championship journey.

The final score was fixed at 1o5:94, and the United States' Kyrie Irving was great in this game, shooting 15 of 24, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws, scoring an astonishing 42 points, becoming the player with the highest single-game score in this World Youth Championship, and at the same time, he also surpassed Zhang Yufeng with an average score of 33.5 per game in the scoring list and jumped to the scoring list!

Next, all eyes were on the second match of the semi-finals, the Chinese team against the Australian team.

The match will take place in a day's time, so there's still a day to prepare.

It is said that it is preparation, but in fact, there is nothing to prepare, and the World Youth Championships have been going on so far, and the players of the national youth team have improved more and more, and their condition is getting better and better. The day before the start of the game, Yang Juncheng did not force the players to conduct large-scale training, but simply did some shooting training, and then ordered the disbandment to let the players move freely.

I could have gone to the streets to see this bustling dream city, but the enemy is currently in the mood, although I have time.

People's ambitions change with the development of things, at the beginning of the World Youth Championships, the national youth team aimed for the quarterfinals, and now that they have reached the semi-finals, the goal will naturally change.

Now, they are no longer satisfied with the semi-finals, but hope to go one step further, defeat the Australian team to reach the final, and fight the United States team to the death, which is the goal of all members of the national youth team!

At the same time, Australia released a bold statement through media interviews to avenge the warm-up game, which further stimulated the players of the national youth team and gave them great confidence.

A day later, at nine o'clock in the morning, at the Los Angeles Coliseum, the World Youth Championships ushered in the last game of the semifinals, the Chinese team played against the Australian team!

Half an hour before the game, the two sides warmed up.

Maybe it's the reason for the hype of the major media, or maybe it's the reason for the hatred in the last warm-up game, the players on both sides smelled a trace of tension when they warmed up, and the air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder, which meant that the enemies were extra red when they met.

When warming up, Zhang Yufeng and Simmons will attract cheers every time they take the ball, the fame of the two is comparable, and they get almost the same number of cheers, which makes Simmons even more unhappy and atmosphere, he is a player from a famous American school, he has been famous in the United States for a long time, and the Chinese is a player who has only recently risen, but the popularity growth is staggering, but even so Simon West is disdainful!

In his opinion, Zhang Yufeng just has nothing to do and some good luck.

Ten minutes before the game, the two sides made the final arrangements.

"I don't think I need to say much about playing the Australian team, you all have experience, what you need to pay attention to is the defense of Simmons, you must guard it tightly, cut off the connection between him and other players, this important task will be handed over to you Ren Qinwei, I don't know if you have the confidence to complete it?" Yang Juncheng said, setting his sights on Ren Qinwei, as the team's defensive spearhead, he is the most promising to limit Simmons.

"Yes!" Ren Qinwei said confidently, "No matter how good he is, I will limit his hit rate to 30%!" ”

"It's good to have self-confidence, but don't be blindly confident, Simmons' strength can also be ranked in the top five in the entire World Youth Championships, Australia is a second-rate team, but after he joined, it turned into a strong team, which shows his role in the team, so you must be careful and careful, and work hard and desperately!" Yang Juncheng said seriously.

Ren Qinwei put away his smiling face and nodded seriously.

"The lineup is still the same as the last game!" Yang Juncheng said, "Play! ”

"Yes!"
