Chapter 441: A Sharp Turn

The U.S. team took the lead and Irving dribbled and played a pick-and-roll before passing the basketball to James.

James organized the offense, which was the change of the U.S. team in the second half, which not only fully connected the team's offense, but also freed up Irving and allowed him to concentrate on the offense.

Booker received a pass in the open space and hit a long-range two-pointer.

Not to be outdone, the national youth team still maintained a good state, especially Zhang Yufeng, who scored a basket in the middle of the game.

The U.S. team attacked, and Irving's single breakaway layup hit a layup.

The national youth team is also Zhang Yufeng's offensive singles, breaking through to the inside line after continuous changes of direction, and making a jumper after a quick stop.

"Brush!" Still hollow into the net, his hands are hot, and in such a high-intensity confrontation, he can still maintain an efficient shooting rate under the oppressive defense of the American team, which seems incredible, but it is true.

Zhang Yufeng is an excellent scorer, not only in terms of offensive skills, but also in his keen judgment, control of shooting opportunities, and his ability to create shooting space by himself.

All of these are combined to make him what he is now.

Even though the U.S. team's defense is very oppressive and intimidating, Zhang Yufeng can always find the right opportunity, the right shooting opportunity, and shoot the basketball out.

In the next few minutes, the two sides reached a stalemate again, and the national youth team relied on Zhang Yufeng's outstanding performance to bite the score tightly.

The U.S. team called a timeout again and made adjustments.

After the game, the situation changed abruptly, and the American team actually implemented a trap tactic against Zhang Yufeng, which was something that no one expected.

The arrogant U.S. team has never used a trap tactic in the World Championships, and now it is used against Zhang Yufeng, which is enough to prove that Zhang Yufeng's presence makes the U.S. team feel threatened.

He was caught off guard by the trap, and passed the ball out in a hurry, if it wasn't for Ren Qinwei's quick reaction to take a step forward, the ball would have been cut off by James.

Ren Qinwei dribbled through to the layup and scored the ball under James' interference.

The U.S. team attacked, and Booker received a pass from James and hit a shot.

In recent rounds, Booker has regained his touch and hit consecutive shots to continue the offensive firepower for the U.S. team.

The national youth team attacked, and the United States team continued to wrap Zhang Yufeng and did not give him a chance to shoot, resulting in a rapid decline in the team's offensive efficiency, and there was no score in three consecutive rounds, and the score difference also tended to widen.

Seeing this, Yang Juncheng hurriedly called a timeout, made a simple adjustment, replaced Seinfeld, and replaced Chen Tianyu, with the existence of his offensive point, then the American team would not dare to easily wrap it up.

After the pause, Yang Juncheng's adjustment really worked, after Zhang Yufeng was trapped, Chen Tianyu was able to get a chance to shoot, and he lived up to expectations, hitting consecutive shots to help the team bite the score.

Seeing this, the U.S. team also adjusted again and replaced it with a player with better defense to mark Chen Tianyu.

"The two sides are constantly rotating personnel in this quarter, and they are looking for ways to restrain each other, and for now, the U.S. team has taken the lead in making adjustments that have given them an advantage throughout the third quarter!" The commentator said that although the national youth team was not pulled away in this quarter, he still felt bad.

"There are too many people who can rotate in the U.S. team, and there are too few people on the bench of the national youth team except Chen Tianyu, although they are also very good, but compared with the U.S. team, there is still a certain gap." The guest said, with a worried look on his face.

"Judging from the current situation, such a stalemate to the fourth quarter will definitely be detrimental to the national youth team, first in terms of physical strength, the United States team is now constantly making substitutions is to use physical strength to consume the national youth team, and the national youth team only dares to replace Chen Tianyu, if you replace someone else, then the score will be pulled away in an instant." He continued, he has begun to worry about the national youth team, what can I do in this fourth quarter?

However, before the fourth quarter arrived, the national youth team suffered a scoring drought at the end of the third quarter.

With the continuous substitutions of the American team and the continuous strengthening of defense, the shooting rate of the national youth team has plummeted, Zhang Yufeng has been caught and unable to play singles, and he can't get the opportunity to run a vacant position, so he can only be completed by other players to complete the attack, but Chen Tianyu is under the defense of the opponent's high-intensity pressure, and the shooting crosshairs are gradually lost, and he has not scored three shots in a row.

The U.S. team also took advantage of this opportunity to pull the score away, and finally at the end of the third quarter, the score came to 68:8o, and the national youth team trailed by 12 points.

In the first half of the third quarter, Zhang Yufeng scored 1o points on 4-of-6 shots and 2-of-2 free throws, and in the second half of the second quarter, under the strict defense of the American team, he scored O points on 2 shots, and the national youth team only scored 17 points in this quarter.

Frustration gradually spread in the national youth team.

Although the U.S. team also played hard, they felt that the whole situation had been in their hands, and this kind of oppression made the players of the national youth team feel uncomfortable.

"What? Somewhat disappointed? Yang Juncheng looked at the silent crowd and asked softly.

"Coach, what are we going to do in the fourth quarter?" Ji Fan breathed heavily, sweat had soaked his head, and his kind face became a little dignified, he was the brain of the team, so he knew very well in his heart the predicament that the team would face in the fourth quarter.

"You have consumed too much physical strength, so in the first half of the fourth quarter, it will be handed over to Lu Qing and them to play." Yang Juncheng said, grinding his teeth, in the yellow environment where he can't smoke, he can only use this way to relieve his addiction to smoking.

"But once we get off the court, the U.S. team will pull away quickly." Ji Fan said anxiously, his face was full of helplessness, and he still didn't say a word in his heart, "If you continue to play, the player's physical strength will definitely not last until the end of the game." ”

"But there is no way." Yang Juncheng said, "I have to leave enough rest time for you, otherwise the more we get to the back, the more we will be in trouble." ”

The crowd fell silent again, and the facts were clear, and physical strength was an unavoidable problem.

The substitute players gritted their teeth and trembled slightly, blaming themselves for not being angry, if they were a little stronger, they would be able to help the team more.

"I believe in you." Yang Juncheng said to the substitute players, "Don't worry, let go and play, just swing the level of our usual training." ”

"Hmm!" The substitute players nodded firmly, and under the leadership of Chen Tianyu, they walked onto the court.
