Lithuania on the third day, China vs France.

It can be seen that with the stimulation of Tang Qian yesterday, today's Chinese national youth team, the main starter, is extremely excited.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team: Zhao Jiwei, Heng Yifeng, Liu Delong, Zhou Qi, Liu Bo.

It's the same as yesterday's starting lineup.

Tang Qian, on the other hand, continued to sit on the bench and had no chance to play.

France and China are in the same position, with one win and one loss, so it will be crucial for either team to beat their opponents today.

In the first quarter, the Chinese team was almost the individual performance of Liu Delong and Zhou Qi, Liu Delong hit two high-level three-pointers, Zhou Qi turned the clouds and rain in the French team, and at the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team was 14-11, leading the French team by three points.

In the second quarter, it was still a one-man show between these two people, Liu Delong's three points were still accurate, and Zhou Qi was still supple, constantly scoring points inside. However, the relieved French team began to chase the whole team, and under the leadership of center forward Rosenfeld and organizational defender Riggett, at halftime, the Chinese team actually fell behind the opponent by seven points.

Twenty-three to thirty.

Yibian fought again, and in the third quarter, Zhao Jiwei began to exert his strength, he made a layup, a second offense, and scored four points in a row, although the French team relied on small forward Corneglia to make a burst of free throws, and tied the three points. It's a pity that at this time, Zhou Qi, the inside line of the Chinese team, stood up and continuously hit hook shots, narrowing the difference again. The French team also knew the importance of this game, so of course they would not give up easily, and under the transmission of the playmaking defender Riggett, the French team once again played an attacking wave and wanted to regain the score. At this time, Liu Delong, who felt good today, stood up, scored three points, an assist, and scored five points in a row, and then Zhao Jiwei also made a steal and added another goal to the basket. Under the small climax of the Chinese team's seven-point wave, the score of the two teams became 38-39, and the Chinese team was only one point behind.

The French team called a timeout, and their head coach saw that the Chinese team was about to rise, so he called a timeout at the right time in order to interrupt the Chinese team's exuberant attack.

"Well played, Delong, your three-point shot was too accurate today, be honest, what did you eat yesterday?"

"Haha, Ji Wei, aren't you also playing well? How many assists? It's a frighteningly accurate pass! ”

"No, no, no, the main thing is Zhou Qi's strength, you see that he is rebounding and blocking on the inside, and he directly beats those French grandsons who dare not go to our inside! Today's first credit should definitely be credited to Zhou Qi. ”

"Okay, everyone, be quiet, the game isn't over yet, it's not too late for you to celebrate when you win them." Li Qiuping interrupted Zhao Jiwei.

"Yes."

Facing Li Qiuping, Zhao Jiwei did not dare to have any dissatisfaction.

"Now we are only one point behind, Delong's three-point hand is good today, you have to make more use of it, and then Zhou Qi's inside performance is also very good, as long as we stick to our advantages, it is absolutely possible to defeat the opponent today." Li Qiuping said.

"Yes, coach, I'm going to do better." Zhou Qi said loudly with some joy, because Tang Qian's performance yesterday invisibly gave him a certain amount of pressure.

"Well, come on, keep the rhythm down as much as possible, play more positions, and then the victory will definitely be ours." Li Qiuping looked at Zhou Qi, who was "abnormal" and energetic, and said in a calm voice.

"Okay, let's all play."

"Yes!"

"Eh, Tang Qian, do you think our team will win today?" Xu Ziyang looked at the game with his eyes.

"Yes." Tang Qian knew the result of this game, and the Chinese team finally turned the tables and successfully defeated the French team.

At the end of the game, as Tang Qian knew, the Chinese team was thrilled and defeated the French team, with a score of 59-53, and the Chinese team won by six points.

And the biggest contributors to today's victory are Liu Delong and Zhou Qi, the former made six of nine three-pointers, scoring a total of 20 points out of 59, and the latter also got 18 points, seven rebounds, three steals and three blocks.

Another night, a night of joy for the Chinese national youth team.

It's just that Tang Qian, who performed well yesterday, didn't play a minute today, and sat on the bench for forty minutes.

The team had a day off, and with a good situation, the Chinese team faced the Czech team.

According to the rules of the U17 World Youth Championship, if you want to qualify for the group stage, you need to win at least three or more games.

And this one, in the memory of the previous life, Tang Qian remembered that he also won.

Since this is the case, I must be sitting on the bench again today, and I have no chance to play.

Through that night's night talk, Tang Qian also understood a lot, and now he can only endure it, otherwise once there is discord within the team because of himself, then Tang Qian is almost certain that it is impossible for someone else to get out.

Damn, this is the rule, is this the suppression?

Except for real garbage time, can't you just get your turn to play?

What the hell!

What a bastard!

However, in Li Qiuping's words, he also realized a little.

In a normal game, you may not get any chance to play, but what about garbage time, or even garbage games?

Tang Qian looked at the match table on the wall, clenched his fists, and all the pupil light was injected into the last team on the table.

Team USA?

I'll be patient!

In the match with the Czech Republic, as Tang Qian expected, with Zhao Jiwei's 20 points and Zhou Qi's 15 rebounds and five blocks, the Chinese team reversed the game at the last moment and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with 71 to 68.

In the evening, the Chinese national youth team checked into the hotel.

"Great, advance to the quarterfinals early, and tomorrow against the United States, you can deal with it casually."

"That's right, yes, I was worried about it before, but now it's okay, everything is fine, hahahaha!"

"Come on, let's celebrate, let's advance to the !!"

Really? I didn't even think about playing against Team America, did I?

It's okay, tomorrow's game, you don't play, I'll play!

U.S. National Youth Team? I'll wait and see.

Due to the lack of pressure to qualify, the next day against the United States team, the Chinese team did not have a sense of urgency, most of them talked and laughed, it seems that the next game is not a game, but an indifferent catwalk.

"Huh? Jonas, how can this group of Chinese talk and laugh? Are they sure of us? "It's the U.S. team's interior mainstay, center Nonu.

"Aha, Nonu, you don't know this, the Chinese team defeated the Czech Republic yesterday, and it has three wins and one loss, and it has qualified safely. So no matter what kind of game they have with us today, they don't care. U.S. starting point guard Jonas Dow.

"Cut! I see! It's ridiculous. Nonu glanced at the Chinese team with disdain and said.

"Haha, big guy, you can't say that, after all, we are the United States team, the undefeated champion of the last U17 World Youth Championship, and the other party doesn't want to fight with us, that's understandable." Jonas patted Nonu on the shoulder.

"That's right, this year we will definitely not be worse than the last one, win the championship, it is bound to win." Nonu said loudly.

"Haha, of course, anyone standing in front of our American team is a dead end." Jonas laughed a few times, then said, "Let's go, let's go and assemble." ”

"By the way, Jonas, we were also in a group with the Chinese team last time, right?" Team USA center Nono suddenly asked.

"Huh? That's right, man, what's wrong? ”

"How many points did we win against them last time?"

Jonas thought for a moment and replied, "It seems like a win of forty points, seventy-three to one hundred and thirteen?" It seems to be this number. ”

"Forty points?" Nonu licked her lips and said with a fierce smile, "Then we have to win them fifty points this time, no, sixty points." ”

……………………

This game, Tang Qian's memory is still fresh, because of this game, the Chinese team lost extremely badly.

What a miserable method?

Tang Qian remembered that he should have lost sixty-nine points directly.

Yes, you read that right, it's sixty-nine, one point short, and seventy.

It's just that at that time, everyone thought that losing to the United States was nothing and not ashamed, so it was rarely mentioned afterwards.

In this fiasco game, none of the main players of the Chinese national youth team stayed on the field for more than 20 minutes, such as the starting center Zhou Qi, who only appeared for 14 minutes, and then went to rest.

This game may no longer matter to the qualification of the Chinese team, but for Tang Qian, it is the opposite.

He's going to have to use this game to make a name for himself.

In front of the strongest team in this World Youth Championship, he made a name for himself.

U.S. National Youth Team? Tang Qian's mouth raised a cold arc, and he said in his heart:

Let's use you to test the results of my hard work in the past few years!

China's starting lineup:

Zhao Jiwei, Heng Yifeng, Liu Delong, Zhou Qi, Liu Bo.

USA starting lineup:

Jonas, Nonu, Domingo, Johansen, Snow.

The game begins.

On the Chinese side, point guard Zhao Jiwei scored first, and the point guard of the American team, Jonas, immediately counterattacked quickly, and a low-handed layup tied Zhao Jiwei's score. In the next round, Zhou Qiqiang made a foul, made two free throws and hit two free throws, and then the Chinese team never took the lead again in this section. The whirlwind attack of the American team directly disabled the Chinese team, and at the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team was 10-24, trailing by 14 points.

After the start of the second quarter, the U.S. team significantly strengthened its offense, and no matter how hard the Chinese team struggled to chase the score, the difference between the two sides quickly expanded to as much as 35 points.

Half time, locker room.

"Well, everybody's playing well, and against the U.S., we don't have to work too hard, after all, the quarter-finals the day after tomorrow are what we need to win." After Li Qiuping finished speaking, he continued: "In the second half, the main forces came down to save their strength, and the rest of the time was left to the rest of the people to feel and learn, after all, against the powerful American team, you can learn some game experience." ”

No one has any opinion on Li Qiuping's arrangement, the US team is strong, there is no doubt that if you go up to fight them, you will be abused, and no one of the five tigers of the Chinese team has this mind.

The second half was ready, before going on the court, Li Qiuping walked past Tang Qian's side and whispered: "Seize the opportunity and play well." ”

Tang Qian nodded, through the night talk that night, he also knew the importance of a "battle to become famous", if he couldn't grasp the next twenty minutes, maybe his rebirth this time...... It's going to be wasted.

This kind of thing......

How could he agree???

U.S. National Youth Team, I Tang Qian......

Here it comes.
