Chapter 395: Accidental Injury
Zhang Yufeng was originally the core player of the national youth team, but because of the closed training that Yang Juncheng has been taking, the list of personnel of the national youth team was not announced until a few days ago, so Australia's research on the national youth team is only limited to this list and some media reports. [No pop-ups. 】
Although Zhang Yufeng was the biggest surprise at the end of the last interview, most of the media still gave the report to Chen Tianyu and Ji Fan, after all, they are players who have played famous in the high school league, so most of the media still believe that the two will have an excellent performance in the World Youth Championships.
In this game, Ji Fan and Chen Tianyu did play well, but it was still difficult to compare with Zhang Yufeng, his state was too good.
Coming back from the timeout, the Australian team attacked first.
No. 5 Luiz controlled the ball and organized the offense, making the team's offense much more fluid, and still sticking to the strategy of focusing on the interior, hitting the ball from the gap to the hands of No. 12 center Tro after a block.
After receiving the ball, Tro took three steps directly and made a strong slam dunk when Yang Jie's defense did not keep up.
It's a classic pick-and-roll between a defender and a centre-forward, and Australia has used it with a lot of maturity.
The national youth team attacked, Ji Fan dribbled to control the overall situation, and it was also a blocking and dismantling tactic, but the basketball was not given to the inside, but to Chen Tianyu who ran around the bottom corner and ran outside the three-point line on the other side with the help of cover.
After Chen Tianyu received the ball, he looked at the Australian players who came to defend quickly, without any fear, and resolutely jumped to shoot.
With a crisp sound of beating, the defender hit Chen Tianyu's arm, and Chen Tianyu lost his center of gravity in the air, unable to control his body, and flew straight out under the action of external forces, falling heavily to the ground.
"Toot!" The referee's whistle blew and Chen Tianyu was given three free throws.
"Yay!" The players of the national youth team cheered, but suddenly found that Chen Tianyu did not get up from the ground for a long time, but was lying on the ground and covering his wrists in pain.
Everyone's complexion changed, their hearts tightened, and they hurriedly ran over, seeing that his left wrist became red and swollen, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom, and a most nasty word instantly came to mind, hurt!!
"Tianyu, how do you feel?" Yang Jie asked with concern.
"It hurts!" Chen Tianyu bared his teeth in pain, and his voice trembled because of the pain.
Yang Juncheng and the players on the bench found that the situation was not right, and they ran over one after another, and a group of people surrounded Chen Tianyu, praying for him not to be fine.
After relieving for a moment, Chen Tianyu's painful expression eased slightly, but he still didn't dare to move his left wrist, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
The referee's whistle blew, the game was suspended, and the team doctor arrived to check Chen Tianyu's injury, but the situation was not optimistic and further examination was needed to be confirmed.
There was a dead silence on the bench of the national youth team, the atmosphere dropped to freezing, everyone looked at Chen Tianyu, wanting to say something comforting, but didn't know what to say, and Chen Tianyu, who was sitting on the bench, had red eyes, trying not to let his tears fall.
It was just a warm-up game, and he was injured before the World Youth Championship officially started, and it is very likely that he will miss the World Youth Championship because of this injury, which is frustrating for any player.
It's over before it even starts, and the dream comes to an abrupt end, which is the most heartbreaking thing.
"Check well, take care of your injuries, don't worry about anything else, we're waiting for you on the field." Ji Fan said, his tone was also full of helplessness.
"Hmm!" Chen Tianyu nodded, tears still silently rolling across the corners of his mouth.
"We're going to win this game!" Zhang Yufeng said, his eyes were full of anger, although he knew that the Australian player didn't mean to, but he couldn't help but be angry, because Chen Tianyu is an important part of the team, and now he is injured, no one can replace his position, which also means that the team's competitiveness has declined, and it has also cast a Y shadow on the trip to the World Youth Championships, so Zhang Yufeng has to show his determination and show his attitude, no matter what Chen Tianyu's injury is, he must keep the team competitive.
"Hmm!" Chen Tianyu nodded and barely showed a smile, "I still have three free throws to complete, even if I am injured, I have to complete the final mission." ”
With that, he got up and walked to the court, stood on the free throw line, made three free throws with his right hand, scored only one, and then left the arena under the guidance of the team doctor.
The game continued, and Ren Qinwei came on to replace Chen Tianyu.
The Australian team attacked, there was no long-range shot from the outside, and Yang Jie grabbed the rebound and gave it to Ji Fan.
After halftime, Zhang Yufeng stepped forward to ask for the ball, and promised Chen Tianyu to win the game, but not just talking, but taking some practical actions.
At this time, under the domination of emotions, the ** of the offense has become particularly strong, and there are only two words in his mind, goal!
He's going to have to destroy his opponent's defense with a powerful attack to win the game.
He dribbled and changed hands under his crotch, and then suddenly made a sharp turn to break through Demoncius's defense from the left side, rushed to the basket, and faced the 213cm tall Troll's defense, without the slightest hesitation, jumped up directly, and confronted it in the air, his strength was obviously not as good as Troll, and he forcibly threw the basketball out in the case of being hit by the twisted body.
The basketball bounced off the rebound and fell into the basket after a few turns, and at the same time the referee's whistle blew, and the ball scored and added a penalty!
"Oh, my God, what a strong ability to stay in the air and coordinate with the body!" Demoncius, who was chasing after him, couldn't help but exclaim, his sky-blue eyes full of shock.
The rest of the Australian team members were also shocked, obviously not expecting that a thin Chinese player could have such excellent explosiveness and airborne ability.
"Hey, hey!" Yang Juncheng was sitting on the bench smiling happily, revealing a proud look of showing off his treasure like others.
Just kidding, if he doesn't have outstanding ability, can he always treat Zhang Yufeng like a treasure and cultivate him as a core player?
Zhang Yufeng walked to the free throw line and hit the ball steadily.
At this time, the score came to 42:30, and the national youth team had a 12-point lead.
The Australian team seemed to be shocked by the momentum of the national youth team, and they were a little disorganized, and the two consecutive attacks were rushed shots when the attack time was not enough, and not a single goal was hit.
The national youth team gave all the balls to Zhang Yufeng.
Zhang Yufeng fully showed his offensive talent, and sent the basketball into the basket in different ways with two consecutive balls, and the score difference further widened.
In the blink of an eye, the first half of the game came to an end, and the rhythm of the game in this section was under the control of the national youth team, and Zhang Yufeng's outburst helped the team firmly grasp the lead.
In the end, at the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 57:41, and the national youth team led by 16 points, while Zhang Yufeng fixed his score in the last game at a terrifying 27 points!!
