Chapter 5: Appearance (I)

On the second day of the U17 World Youth Championships, the Chinese team played against the Australian team.

Because of yesterday's victory, the players of the Chinese national youth team were extremely excited, and they all rubbed their hands in the opening warm-up, as if they were eager to try.

The only one who didn't have a smile on his face was Tang Qian.

Because he knew that in this game, the Chinese national youth team would end in a miserable defeat, and it was a painful loss of as much as 37 points.

But he can't say this to anyone, of course, in the current situation, even if he says it, no one will believe it.

There is no suspense, Tang Qian, like the last game against the Egyptian team, sat at the end of the bench, looking at this, Li Qiuping has completely forgotten the high school MVP of this "amateur league".

Chinese team starters: Zhao Jiwei, Heng Yifeng, Liu Delong, Zhou Qi, Liu Bo.

Compared with the previous game, the starting five tigers have only changed one Xu Ziyang.

This is Li Qiuping's substitution according to the characteristics of the Australian team, because compared with Xu Ziyang, Liu Delong is taller, and the latter's independent offensive ability is also better than the former. Dealing with the tall Australians, it is undoubtedly more threatening to send Liu Delong to start.

But although Li Qiuping's consideration was good, Tang Qian knew that this particular substitution did not have the expected effect.

Beep~~~

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Chinese team's tactics did not change, and Zhao Jiwei gave the ball to Zhou Qi, who quickly found the gap and scored two points. However, the Australian team is not a weak Egyptian team, in the face of Zhou Qi, their inner line did not show weakness, and used the strength of their Australians to eat Zhou Qi three times in a row. After such a while, the Chinese team, which ostensibly occupies the advantage of the inside line, was instantly stunned, because although Zhou Qi is tall, but in terms of strength, he is far inferior to these Australian big men.

Seeing this, Li Qiuping hurriedly commanded on the sidelines: "Attack from the outside and use the breakthrough to tear apart their defense!" ”

After receiving Li Qiuping's instructions, Zhao Jiwei, who controlled the ball, immediately disguised himself, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to kill the inside line and stabbed two points through a one-handed layup. But Zhao Jiwei's two points did not help the Chinese team turn the situation around at all, but stimulated the ferocity of the Australians, and in the next four minutes, the Chinese team did not score another point, while the Australian team played vigorously, scoring points on the basket of the Chinese team in a row.

Eleven-to-zero little orgasm.

This situation forced Li Qiuping to hurriedly call a short timeout.

"Don't panic, play according to the tactics of the training camp, although their strength is strong, but we also have the advantage of height, we don't need to be too jealous of each other."

"The next ball passed through Zhao Jiwei's arc to hold the ball, and then Liu Delong blocked and dismantled on the line, and after breaking in, the ball was distributed to the inside line, and we scored two points first to stabilize the situation."

The players of the Chinese national youth team nodded one after another, because it was only at this moment that they felt that the Australian team was strong, and compared with the previous opponent Egypt, it was not at the same level at all.

After the whistle blew again, Li Qiuping's tactics worked, and through the cooperation of Zhao Jiwei and Liu Delong, Zhou Qi got an opportunity to score easily under the basket, and the latter licked the basket and put the ball into the basket of the Australian team.

Then, in the second half of the quarter, the Chinese team failed to score another point.

At the end of the first quarter, 10-30, directly behind by 20 points.

A heavy atmosphere began to creep in the Chinese national youth team.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhao Jiwei forced a breakthrough and scored two goals with a foul on the opponent's beater, but only ten seconds later, he was pushed by the Australian defender to a quick counterattack, and the hard-earned two points instantly came to naught.

Then Zhou Qi exerted his strength and played two in a row, intending to narrow the score difference, but the Australians did not give the Chinese team a chance to breathe, and immediately filled in Zhou Qi's score with several internal and external combinations, and the more he played, the smoother he played, and another wave of small climaxes suddenly emerged.

The score was 16-48, and the Chinese team trailed by 32 points.

The Australian team's offensive climax completely destroyed the will of the Chinese players, and in the following time, the Chinese team's offense was repeatedly blocked, and it was not until more than ten seconds before the end of the half that it struggled to score a three-pointer.

At halftime, the score was 19-53, and in the entire second quarter, the Chinese national youth team only scored a pitiful nine points, and at halftime, only 19 points were scored.

With a huge difference of 34 points, the Chinese national youth team returned to the locker room.

Li Qiuping saw everyone's problems, and he wanted to restore the morale of the team members by cheering up, but with little success, after all, these people were just children, even if they changed their age, it would be less than twenty. Therefore, once the mentality and morale are frustrated, it is even more difficult to adjust and calm down.

Li Qiuping shook his head secretly, he knew that in the basketball game, there was not much the coach could do, because after all, it was the players, not the coach, who played the game.

This time, it's hard to win.

Li Qiuping said in his heart.

Sure enough, in the third quarter, the offensive end of the Chinese team still did not improve at all, although the opponent's laxity was used to play a wave of 15-6 small climax, but with the return of Australia's main force, the Chinese team, which had just warmed up, immediately fell into a stalemate again. After four consecutive attempts failed, the final whistle for the third quarter sounded at the right time.

Thirty-four against sixty-six, there is still a difference of more than thirty points.

In the fourth quarter, time flew by, and after a full five minutes, Li Qiuping saw that there was no hope of turning the tables, so he began to slowly withdraw the main players.

"Don Jr., you warm up, and then let's play." Li Qiuping glanced at Tang Qian and said casually.

Anyway, it's garbage time, let him go up to experience the experience, it can be regarded as an explanation to Cheng Jianguo.

Beep~~~

At the end of the game with four minutes and thirty seconds left, Tang Qian appeared.

Since the World Junior Championship is implemented by FIBA rules, each quarter lasts only ten minutes.

Tang Qian moved his arm slightly, and said in his heart:

Is it finally your turn?

Four minutes and thirty seconds remaining.

Let's turn it upside down!

The Australian team also changed to a full substitute lineup at this moment, and the substitute center opposite Tang Qian was called Alex, who was two meters and eight meters tall and weighed 100 kilograms.

"Yo, you've finally got a stronger one? That kid just now was so thin that I couldn't help but bump into him! Alex squirted at Tang Qian.

Tang Qian glanced at him and said lightly, "Believe me, brother, you will be out soon." ”

"What's going on?" Alex laughed and said, "Is it up to you?" ”

Syllable.

While Alex was talking, Tang Qian received a pass, and the latter didn't bother to talk nonsense with him at all, taking advantage of Alex's lack of reaction, he turned around cleanly and made a layup directly.

"Damn it, Yankees, you actually attacked me?" Alex was scored by Tang Qian, and Deng Shi was very annoyed.

Tang Qian ignored him, and quickly returned to the defense after completing the attack.

"Damn, you look down on me? Rudy, pass me the ball and watch me kill this Chinese guy! ”

After seeing Alex in place, the opponent's point guard Rudy quickly stuffed the ball over, hit the ground, and the ball landed firmly in Alex's hands.

"Yankee, look at it, my ball is going to go through your head!"

After saying that, Alex relied on his strength to become stronger, and in his opinion, the inside line of the Chinese team is nothing but high.

However, just as he was about to make a move, a big palm suddenly appeared, and without saying a word, his shot flew out.

"Aggressor."

As soon as he landed, Tang Qian shouted loudly, and at the same time, he ran wildly like an arrow from the string, and rushed to the opponent's three-point line in the blink of an eye.

"Pass."

Tang Qian beckoned, and when point guard Xu Ziyang saw this, he subconsciously threw it and made a long pass.

Boom !!

With a bang, Tang Qian slammed the dunk with both arms, looking at the terrifying brute force, it seemed that he was going to directly knock down the basketball hoop.

The scene was extremely shocking.

Fast-break from the center?

This athletic ability ......

Li Qiuping began to pay attention to the big boy on the field again.

"This dunk is beautiful!" When he returned to the defense, Xu Ziyang couldn't help but say.

However, Tang Qian didn't care about this passage, but turned around and asked, "How is your COSCO Investment?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not bad when no one is defending." Xu Ziyang was stunned and replied.

"Okay, I'll play a few more later, and then the other party will definitely come over to wrap me, and then you can go to the outside and shoot three points as much as possible." Tang Qian continued.

"Okay, okay." Xu Ziyang nodded.

It's just that......

Although the idea is good, is he capable of doing it?

If you want to be caught by the opponent, you have to score consecutive goals, otherwise, there is no threat, who will cover you?

Let's give it a try, it's so many points behind anyway, no matter how bad it is, it's not much worse.

Xu Ziyang thought.

I have to say that this Xu Ziyang's passing ability is still good, although his height is only 1.88 meters, but his arm span has reached 1.96 meters, so that whether it is ball control or ball protection, it is stable.

As a center forward, Tang Qian must rely on his teammates to feed the ball, otherwise he can't do it if he wants to.

Seeing that Tang Qian was stuck in the position, Xu Ziyang decisively passed the ball in his hand, and then Tang Qian lived up to expectations, turned around, and shook the defender Alex thoroughly, and then needless to say, the door of the paint area in Australia was wide open, how could Tang Qian let go of this kind of good opportunity? Grabbing the basketball with both hands, it was another violent slam dunk.

Australia's substitute center Alex seemed to be stupid by Tang Qian, and he didn't even hold the ball steady in the next round, and directly returned the ball to the Chinese team with a butter hand.

Seeing that this Alex was already demoralized, Tang Qian took advantage of the victory to pursue, and after receiving Xu Ziyang's pass, he made a beautiful little hook and a basketball "brush" and ran into the net.

Beep~~~

Australia made a substitution, with main centre-forward Sangeis replacing Alex.

According to the coach of the Australian team, this change of formation is enough to curb the upward momentum of the Chinese team.

"Yankee, you're doing a good job, you can beat Alex like that! But that's the end of your luck, because I, Sangais, will block all your shots and make it impossible for you to score even a single point! ”

Sangis pushed against Tang Qiandao from behind.

"I know you, you're good at power balls, right?" Tang Qian was not affected in the slightest.

"Yo? The intelligence work is satisfying, but unfortunately, even if you know my technical characteristics, you still can't win against me, because you Chinese are skinny monkeys, and your strength is as ridiculous as our Australian! Sangis taunted Don.

"That's right." Tang Qian asked for the ball and said, "Then let's compare our strength." ”

"What? Than strength? You're literally burned out of your brain! With your Chinese body, what ...... can you have" Before Sangis finished speaking, Tang Qian caught the ball, and with a force on his shoulder, he actually directly knocked back the opponent a few steps.

Then hook your hand easily, and the basketball goes into the net.

"Is this the power you are proud of?" Tang said in Sangais's ear as he returned to defense.

“shi.t! Bastard! I just didn't pay attention! ”

"Really?" Tang Qian deliberately provoked: "Then in the next round, I'll give you a chance to win back a city." ”

“shi.t! Damn the Chinese guys! You wait for me! After Sanges scolded, he asked Rudy for the ball directly, he had already decided, and he must give this Chinese kid a good look later!

Sangis began to beat Tang Qian with his back, but to his surprise, he couldn't resist the other party at all.

How is this possible?

It's easy for me to hit the main center with my back just now, how can I not beat this substitute center?

Damn it! There must be a mistake!

Sangais's blood was full of blood for a while, and he turned around and became strong without pushing Tang Qian, this kind of big meal sent up, of course, Tang Qian could only smile generously, slapped his right hand, and gave a loud hot pot to the other party.

"Aggressor."

Tang Qian was still the fastest runner, taking advantage of the Australian team's unstable footing, and scored directly on the layup.

"Shi.t, Sangais, what are you doing? Don't fight with that Chinese! Pass the ball up and rely on your teammates to score! The Australian head coach shouted angrily from the sidelines.

"MD, I'll let you go first, and I'll ravage you later!" The head coach's words Sangis didn't dare not listen, so even if he was angry in his heart, he could only force it down and no longer fight Tang Qian one-on-one.

However, it is obvious that the long-term lack of scoring has also affected the outside feel of the Australian team, and through conduction, they did not throw in a big empty opportunity in the bottom corner.

Well, chances.

Tang Qian jumped up, raised his arm to pick up the rebound, handed the ball to Xu Ziyang, and then did the same as just now, and directly asked for the ball after jamming Sangais.

Forty-five degrees in the three-second zone again? You want to hit me in this position again?

Dream on you!

Sangis mustered up his strength this time, bowed his waist and bent his knees, and it seemed that he had made up his mind to prevent Tang Qian's ball.

"Hey, Rhubarb, you know what." After Tang Qian caught the ball, he said softly: "Your so-called strength is really too weak." ”

After finishing speaking, Tang Qian began to dribble and hit back, once, twice, three times...... He pushed his way through Australia's interior in an almost humiliating manner, almost in an almost humiliating manner.

Sangais's surprise, that horror, that horror......

He suddenly felt that he was not defending a person, but a cow.

A bull.

A pit bull.

Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone, Tang Qian turned around and became stronger.

Not caring about Sangeis's appearance at all, he turned around and kicked the ground, followed by a "bang", and the Australian basket exploded.

Under the stunned face of the Australian head coach, Tang Qian was dunked.

At this time, Sangis was like a dilapidated teddy bear, directly overturned by Tang Qian's strength.

Buckle to the ground.
