Chapter 122: Warm-up Match 1 (1)
The worst situation in the national youth team is not the center Kozo Yano, who is fighting against the "roof of the world" Avidas Sabonis, but the scoring guard Kota Mimori. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Opposite Sansen is a top European player known for his tough style of play, the core of the Lithuanian national team, Sarunas Mathiolionis.
Although the two are about the same height and weight, but the bark of the shadow tree, at this time Matthew Leonis was at his peak, in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, he led the Soviet basketball team to win the gold medal, and officially landed in the NBA last year.
On one side is the NBA star who is in the ascendancy, and on the other side is an unknown young player. Before the game started, Kota Mimori was already timid.
Under the tremendous pressure, Mimori's face darkened, his movements began to stiffen, and a thick sense of uneasiness and fear grew from the bottom of his heart, and it quickly expanded.
Seeing the huge pressure of everyone, Coach Ozawa did not arrange techniques and tactics before the game, but just asked everyone to relax their minds and play their own strength in the game.
The performance of the starting five people was the most insipid, without a trace of uneasiness and panic, and some were just strong fighting spirit and passion.
Looking at Sarunas Matthew Leonis not far away, Ryumasa's hands were itching, and he couldn't wait to replace Kota Mimori and wrestle his wrists with this star player who carried forward the "European step".
But looking at his little arms and legs, Long Zheng had to take this ambition back and lock it firmly in his heart.
Thinking of his opponent Masis in the warm-up match, Long Zheng was very happy in his heart.
After watching Masisna's training, Long Zheng knows that the Lithuanian point guard with a height of 188 cm and a weight of 85 kg is within the range that he can fight.
If Long Zheng's physical growth is good, with Long Zheng as the core, it can completely drive this group of players and boost the morale of the team.
Looking at Ryumasa, who has a completely different psychological state from other players and has a strong fighting spirit, the coaching staff led by Yusaku Ozawa couldn't help but have this thought in their hearts.
It's a pity that the current Long Zheng is only twelve years old, 175 centimeters and 63 kilograms. As long as Ryuzheng is not injured in the warm-up game, the coaching staff is thankful, and they don't expect Ryuzheng to play a central role and drive the team's morale.
............
"Drop!" The referee blew the whistle, and the first warm-up match between the national youth team and the Lithuanian national team officially started!
Kozo Yano and "Roof of the World" Avidas Sabonis stepped into the center circle to prepare for the scrum.
203 cm vs 221 cm, the height difference of 18 cm makes this scrum no suspense.
Even though Yano Kozo jumped up with all his strength, he still watched Sabonis on top of his head and slammed the ball away.
The basketball hit the floor, bounced off and was picked up by point guard Marcisna.
Watching Matis dribble the basketball through the halfway line, Ryumasa recalled in his mind what Yusaku Ozawa had said to him before the game.
"Long Zheng, you also know the difference in strength between the two teams, the national youth team is a few notches weaker than the Lithuanian national team. In these three warm-up games, the coaching staff did not expect a single victory.
We just want the players to have the right mentality, play to their strengths in the warm-up games, find their weaknesses and improve themselves. But unfortunately, with the exception of Long Zhengyou, the players have been devastated by pressure and fear in the face of the mighty Lithuania, and we can't help but worry that the three warm-up matches will turn into three unresisted rout trips, and after the defeat, the players will collapse. Long Zheng, the coaching staff hopes that through your performance, everyone's low morale will be boosted.
Steals, gambling steals!
The coaching staff asked you to use a gambling steal in the early stages of the game to snatch Lithuania's offensive opportunity away from point guard Massis and lead a quick counter-attack to help the national youth team play a climax. Completely clear the haze in the hearts of teammates, improve the morale of the national youth team, and let everyone return to normalcy. ”
Gambling steals, looking at Masis who was holding the ball, the corners of Long Zheng's mouth turned up, and he directly opened the "Moment of the Gods" and greeted him.
In yesterday's adaptation training, Long Zheng spent most of his time observing this opponent. Accustomed to dribbling with his right hand, his style of play is soft, and he doesn't like confrontation. Lithuanian point guard Matis is the best opponent for Long Zheng's current situation. Good ball skills, but not pursuing back-to-back tough confrontations.
At the three-point line, Ryu pressed on Matisna's right side, forcing Matis to have his back to Ryu and the basket at the same time.
After Massis turned his back to Ryu-masa, Ryu-masa stepped forward and clinged to him, and opened his arms and squatted down slightly to block Massisna's passing route.
Ryu-jeong is 175 cm tall and weighs 63 kilograms, while Massis is 188 centimeters tall and weighs 85 kilograms. Although Long Zheng's physical condition is much worse, he is a monster in human skin, and his strength, explosiveness, and endurance are not inferior to Massisna at all.
If Matis knew that he was facing a twelve-year-old countryman, I don't know how he would feel.
Tried to steal twice in a row, Massis reacted in time and successfully protected the basketball to make Ryu-jeong's steal go to naught. The steal failed, and Long Zheng was not annoyed, and retreated a few steps back in time, without allowing Massis to break through.
Long Zheng was calm and relaxed, and the pressing defense stuck Matisna's ball route; Massis couldn't help but get anxious, seeing that the attack time was passing minute by minute, resisting Long Zheng, Massis rushed along the right side.
It was too late, it was too fast, and Long Zheng, who had already predicted Masisna's breakthrough route, moved quickly, and at the moment of Masisna's breakthrough, he raised his knife and snatched the ball away.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless, if Long Zheng doesn't make a move, he will not have the slightest chance of remedy.
After breaking the ball, Ryuzheng shook the ball past the "Roof of the World" Avidas Sabonis, who pounced violently, and dribbled towards the Lithuanian basket.
One after the other, Long Zheng did not give Massis a chance to catch up with him and stand side by side with him, so Massis kept following him, watching him come to the basket and dunk hard with both hands.
Steals! Quick counterattack!! Storm Buckle !!
Long Zheng directed and acted by himself, and played a scene of passionate defensive counterattack.
"Drop!" The referee blew the whistle and raised his hands to signal that the goal was valid.
2:0, in the face of the terrifying Lithuanian national team, the national youth team took the lead, and the point guard Long Zheng personally scored the first goal of the game, and it was a warm-up boiling two-handed buckle.
"Goal!"
Watching Long Zheng fall from the basket, the national youth players were dumbfounded. Then they reacted, and ran to Long Zheng's side, surrounding Long Zheng and cheering. After Long Zheng scored, everyone's nervousness and fear were swept away.
Long Zheng, well done! Seeing that the players returned to their normal minds, Yusaku Ozawa's boulder in his heart finally let go.
