Chapter 139: The Gap with the World
Liu Sicheng has no way to face the widening point difference, and after entering the third quarter, he hopes that the team can play an iron-blooded defense, limit the play of the frontier youth team with defense, and at the same time use defense to drive the atmosphere of the whole team.
Through the first half of the game, Liu Sicheng knew that if he wanted to fight with the Frontier Youth Team, it was completely impossible to fight, although the offensive points of the Frontier Youth Team seemed to be more concentrated, but Liu Sicheng also knew that the opponent's role players were not useless.
But when Liu Sicheng changed the team's tactical thinking in the third quarter, he found that he still couldn't withstand the opponent's attack.
If the first half of the game was a performance by Turgun and Cai Aihong, then the second half of the game became a shooting exhibition match for the whole team of the Frontier Youth Team.
After the Capital Youth Team strengthened its defense against some core figures of the Frontier Youth Team, Turgun and Cai Aihong did not stick to the ball more, they increased their passing and cooperation with their teammates, relying on their own deterrence to help their teammates open up reasonable shooting space.
Liu Sicheng really can't think of what kind of tactics or means should be used to deal with this enemy, his thinking concept is too stereotyped, and he is always immersed in the glory of the past and can't extricate himself.
"This kid, it's really good now, no matter how you say it, it's our team in the capital, and I don't know how to save some face for my mother's family."
As the score gradually opened, Zhang Laopao, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching the game with Ma Pingdong, couldn't help but want to protect the calf, how to say that the capital youth team represents the capital, as a Beijing man, Zhang Laopao began to feel that Wang Lei had done a little too much.
"What do you know, now the head coach of our Beijing youth team is really not a thing, when our Xiao Lei played with the youth team, I don't know how to look down on Xiao Lei, the last qualifier this grandson was educated by Xiao Lei, and then some time ago Mei Mei on the matter of this grandson on the Internet to spread rumors to Xiao Lei, I think now Xiao Lei is very face-saving."
Ma Pingdong can be said to be very satisfied with Wang Lei now, capable, responsible, and he has grown up watching since he was a child, no one can reassure him more than Wang Lei, so he must be looking at the game and problems from Wang Lei's point of view now.
"I'm rubbing, what's the matter? Then this grandson is not a thing, it is best to turn around and withdraw him. ”
After listening to Ma Pingdong's explanation, Zhang Laopao is no longer upset with the Capital Youth Team, how to say that he can now return to the stage or rely on Wang Lei's "creation".
At the end of the third quarter, the game was basically out of suspense, the 22-point difference made the players of the capital youth team unable to raise their heads at all, they did work hard, but they were never able to limit the opponent's score, compared to the last meeting, the current frontier youth team gave them the feeling of being invincible.
After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, Wang Lei adjusted the lineup appropriately, he is not the kind of person who rushes to kill, even if Liu Sicheng is indeed very disgusted by Wang Lei, but he did not let the team humiliate the opponent in the game.
In the end, the Frontier Youth Team won the game with a 16-point advantage, and they will participate in the final one day before the closing ceremony of the National Games, and the final opponent is the North American Chinese Youth United Team, which reached the final for the first time in the domestic competition.
Liu Sicheng and his capital youth team left the court in a hurry without a word, Liu Sicheng didn't even shake hands with Wang Lei, he didn't want to face Wang Lei embarrassed anymore.
Zhang Laopao and Ma Pingdong chatted with Wang Lei on the sidelines for a while, and Wang Lei also gave the tickets for the finals by the way, anyway, the capital is so close to Jinghai, it is very convenient for Zhang Laopao and Ma Pingdong to come to see the finals.
Zhang Laopao wanted to stop talking when he was leaving, he originally wanted to persuade Wang Lei to concentrate on music, but at this time he couldn't say these words, after all, it seems that Wang Lei's coaching work is doing a very good job now.
For Wang Lei, the opponent in the final is extremely strong, even if the team has only been formed for less than eight months, even if there is no professional player in the North American Chinese youth team.
Like the Frontier Youth Team, none of the players on this North American youth team have any professional league experience, and they are all Chinese children or mixed races with Chinese ancestry in North American universities.
Unlike the Frontier youth team, the North American youth team was only formed at the beginning of this year, and their training camp lasted less than a month.
After a month of intensive training, and then swept the qualifiers, and advanced to the finals with the first place in the overseas division, in the finals, the North American youth team averaged 24.5 points per game, which is enough to see the strength of this team, and it is enough to see the gap between the Republic Youth Basketball and the world's top players.
As with the Earth, the best professional basketball league in the world is still in North America, and compared to the country that invented modern basketball, the Republic's basketball development has lagged behind from the beginning.
Although the Republic relies on its strong economic strength and prestige to compete with the Western world, it has to be admitted that the Republic does have a gap with the Western world in basketball, even if the Republic has been ranked among the top five in the world in basketball in recent years.
In North America, where basketball is most developed, almost every federal state has its own popular student leagues at all levels, from small elementary school leagues to small and medium-sized middle school leagues, and the entire North American college league, which can even surpass the professional leagues.
With such a good foundation, combined with the already excellent physical talent, and the hybrid advantage of immigration, it can be said that the entire North American region has more foundation players than the rest of the world combined.
The number of Chinese living in North America is very high, in the past when the status of the republic was not high, the Chinese were discriminated against, but now the Chinese in North America are not considered the mainstream group, but they are no longer a group that suffers from discrimination and special treatment.
With the rise of the status of the Chinese people, many children born in Chinese families are no longer nerds who focus on reading, and they actively participate in various sports they love, among which basketball is the most popular sport.
With the participation base, coupled with the improvement of the status of Chinese in North America, many Chinese talented players have begun to appear in North America.
And major colleges and universities in North America also like to introduce Chinese players with higher IQ and emotional intelligence to join their varsity teams, after all, sometimes the brain is more important than physical talent.
