"Dip your hands on the ball! This guy is amazing! Kerr took the ball he hit to the baseline and muttered.

McKins only dribbled twice at the back and sent a long pass directly to Avralo, who was on the right sideline. Avraro breaks through from the baseline. Bypassing the defense of the two interior players of Jalali and Zhuo Yifan, he stepped on the sideline of the three-second zone with his left foot and pulled it up directly, like a rocket in the air, flying to the basket. The two-handed basketball was switched to the right hand, facing Jalali's jumping arms, which continued to rise. It wasn't until he was nearly a basketball height above Jalali's arm that he pressed the ball into the basket like a roller running over the road.

The Asian team was stunned on the bench, you must know that Jalali is 7cm taller than Avralo, and the timing and position of the jump are in place, and it is really unreasonable to slam this goal on Jalali's head and deduct this goal domineeringly.

In this powerful slam dunk, although Jalali is taller, he is far inferior to Avlaro in terms of instant explosiveness and absolute bounce. The overlord's slam dunk made Jalaary lose his temper.

"Well done, Avraro!"

"Well done, McKins!" While congratulating Avralo, his teammates did not forget to encourage McKins. Without McKins' broad vision and absolute confidence in Avralo's ability, he would not have seen this domineering overhand dunk.

Avraro and McKins high-fived.

11:5

"It's McKins, it's really a sight." Even Mr. Wesley, the interim head coach of the Asian team, praised McKins' pass.

"Isn't this to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?" Xia Hongsen heard Wesley's evaluation and muttered unhappily in his heart. But then I think about it, this ball is indeed beautiful, and Mr. Wesley is also an American, so it is understandable that such an evaluation is also a wake-up call.

Wesley then said to the bench players: "You all look at it, the next point of our defense is to look at McKins' organization, and everyone must be seeing some clues at this stage of the game." Allen, the point guard on the court, is rarely involved in the organization of the frontcourt, and the ball in the frontcourt is more dependent on McKins' passing. He's the team's 'playmaker' because our lack of focus on his passing ability has led to a lot of direct scoring opportunities. Of course, Aaron can't be underestimated, and both men are likely to launch a final attack. ”

"Two players who can organize, and one is a defender and the other is a striker, and they don't fall behind in front and back. It's a lot of pressure," Xia Hongsen felt a little desperate after listening to Wesley's analysis.

"Then drive one of them down!"

"Kick one down? How to rush? Is it that simple? Xia Hongsen replied.

"Now when there is no dead ball for the time being, it depends on whether Li Xin can see through this on the field, he is a smart child." Wesley smiled and nodded, as if he saw hope.

"As soon as we got to the frontcourt, even in the half, most of the playmaking went to McKins, and it seemed like he was going to cut off his possession. Where the hell did this guy come from? Li Xin slowly advanced in the backfield, thinking about this problem at the same time.

"UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles), a famous basketball school in California, has sent an invitation to McKins, as long as McKins nods, he will be exempted from the examination and directly receive a basketball scholarship to enter UCLA, a basketball school with a brilliant history of 11 NCAA championships in history." Mr. Wesley continued to speak to the players on the bench, seemingly ready to give him everything he knew.

"UCLA produced Bill. Wharton, Abdul-Jabbar, and Reggie. Miller's UCLA. Although it was his first time in the United States, Xia Hun Sen was also familiar with the name of UCLA, and he is no less well-known in Chinese basketball circles than any NBA team.

"If you can successfully establish yourself in the UCLA, you will be stepping into the NBA with one foot. This is the dream of many young players. Xia Hongsen thought to himself.

"It's no wonder that McKins is so active, and he and Avralo's forward line are a perfect match. Caught the opponent off guard. ”

Xia Hongsen was still thinking about it, and the United States team successfully stole from Zhuo's hand and quickly counterattacked. This time it was Allen's pass, a long pass to the middle of the frontcourt, McKins shook off everyone to the front court with the speed of Bolt of the Flyer, took the ball and dribbled twice, and then jumped up to a one-armed tomahawk slam dunk.

Once again, it greatly boosted the momentum of the American team.

13:5。

Defensively, as soon as the ball passed half-time, the U.S. United launched a pressing defense, covering every opportunity. Zhuo Yifan's ball just now was cut off by Kerr from the other side when he was playing Avraro with his back alone.

On the offensive end, Avraro and McKins are connected with two forwards, and both of them are extremely strong in singles and breakthroughs. And each has its own merits, Avralo is good at back-to-back singles, strong inside, rebounds under the basket, and the ability to shoot from close range is also wrong. And McKins is good at breaking through to the basket or sharing the ball. There is also a certain percentage of mid-range shots in the open space after the dismantling. But as long as a player traps him, his passing skills become another weapon of mass destruction. Powerful teammates will immediately form gaps and score points efficiently.

Nine and a half minutes of battle, 24:8. The U.S. team opened up a 16-point gap in one fell swoop.

Kerr hit a three-pointer from the baseline to make it 27-8.

Li Xin has never experienced such a game, he fell behind by nearly 20 points at the beginning, even if the duel with Wu Sheng was not so big at the beginning, and if he continued to play like this, I am afraid that by the end of the half, the result will be divided, they can all clock out of work, and the second half will become garbage time.

The fierce game once again tested Li Xin, just after half of the ball, Allen and Cole pressed Li Xin in pairs, Li Xin, who was standing in a corner of the midfield line, couldn't move, and when it was dangerous, a ball smashed on Allen's calf, the ball of the Asian United.

Lin Xuemin served on the sideline, Li Xin was caught again after winning the ball, and before he could shoot, the last second passed in the first quarter.

At 27:8, the Asian team trailed by 19 points, scoring only 8 points, and the players walked to the bench in despair.

Wesley called all the players over and gathered in a circle and asked, "Feel the high pressure of American high school students?" Is it completely different from your previous games? ”

"Yes, indeed! American high school students don't seem to be very good at using joint defense, but with fast footwork and quick judgment, only two tactics of marking and defending with bags and traps make us tired. When attacking, the use of fast breaks and bursts, as well as mid-range shots after dismantling, also work repeatedly. It's a hard time! Lin Xuemin kept wiping the sweat on his forehead and neck with a towel, shaking his head helplessly.

"Lin, you're right, that's how they play the ball in a simple and effective way. But that's not their strongest strength. Mr. Wesley continued.

"What?" The players of the Asian United team almost fainted when they heard this: "Isn't it that the strongest strength is already ahead by almost 20 points, if the strongest strength is shown again, does the Asian United still have the ability to resist?" What's more, now that I can't do anything about the situation on the field, I'm afraid that it will collapse if it continues. ”

"To put it simply, at this stage, the US team is 'hard' to eat you with their bodies, and in the first two days of the game, they have seen our characteristics. The height is not as good as them, the movement speed and physical fitness are certainly not as good as them, and we only need to use the physical advantage against us, and it is enough for us to suffer. ”

"Coach, what are we going to do, just sit back and wait?" Zhuo Yifan asked anxiously, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Of course not, in the second quarter of the game, start with defense and do two things: first, pay attention to blocking McKins' passes and catches. It wasn't playmaker Allen who had the ball the most in the first quarter, but McKins. Forcing him to make mistakes and disrupting their rhythm. Second, this task must be completed, and one person has a firm eye on the opposing organization's defender Aaron. Because if McKins' pass is blocked, the United United will have to look for a second point of attack, and only Allen is the best person on the field. But if we want to restrict McKins and restrict Aaron, we will inevitably have no manpower to trap Aaron. Only one person can watch him die. Wesley said and looked at the nodding team members, and then asked:

"Which of you is in charge of guarding Aaron?" The team members, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't say anything.

"I'll come and see him, Mr. Wesley, and I'll leave this task to me!" It was Li Xin who volunteered. Originally, he was also the best candidate for this task, because he was in the opposite position with Aaron, but there was still a more important task of organizing the attack on Li Xin, could his physical fitness hold on? So Wesley didn't directly name Li Xin to be responsible for defending Allen, but hoped that a teammate could stand up and share his task, but unfortunately, there seems to be no suitable candidate at present.

Li Xin put himself on the cusp again.

"Well, we must also pay attention to protection in terms of rebounds, and we must not let the opponent easily grab the rebounds in the front court to form a secondary offense."

Wesley looked at Jalaari and Zhuo Yifan, apparently saying this to the two of them.

"On the offensive side. The U.S. United's defense is tough, especially inside the three-point line, and the physical advantage of the forward players is obvious, and it is not cheap to break through inside, and it will be very physically demanding. So the offense at the beginning of the second quarter was mainly focused on mid-range shooting. Use nimble movement and necessary pick-and-roll coordination to open gaps and seek shots. Of course, if you have the opportunity to get a fast break, you must also score, which requires a playmaker to have a wide vision on the field and just the right pass. There are also a few high-shot scorers. ”

The team members nodded in realization.

"I think the best candidate for this organizer is Li Xin. So I was worried about you just now, the task is heavy on both the defensive and offensive ends, can you have the stamina to support it? ”

"Mr. Wesley, no problem, leave it to me!" Li Xin patted his chest and confidently stopped the task.

Wesley nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"So the lineup at the beginning of the second quarter is: Jalali, Zhuo Yifan, Lin Xuemin, Xia Hongsen, Li Xin!" The three Chinese teenagers were on the court again at the same time, and the whistle blew at the beginning of the second quarter, and the five stepped onto the court again. (To be continued.) )
