Let's take a look at the starting line-up of the opponent's World United.

Center: Juan. Barbatola. Alexis (JeanBabatouraAlexis Congo 208cm)

It is difficult to guess his age from his appearance, Li Xin was surprised that there were players from Africa in the summer camp, which was really eclectic. After inquiring, I learned that this Alexis is currently studying in France and is considered a semi-immigrant.

A tall, thin black man, with a name that is also very difficult to pronounce.

Seeing this name aroused Zhuo Yifan's interest. He pushed Li Xin and asked, "Do you remember the full name of the former Rockets' African Mountain and defensive expert Mutembo?" ”

"Dikembe. Mutemboba! ”

"No, his full name is long, what is Dick Mbey. Shao Shao what what what. Mutembo! ”

"What Shao Shao what?" Li Xin was inexplicable by Zhuo Yifan's incoherent speech.

"It's called Dick oyster. Mutombo. Mu Polundo. Mukamba. Let. Jacques. DikembeMutombo, MpolondoMukambaJean, Jacque, Wamutombo!" Mr. Kim, who was behind him, overheard the conversation between the two and gave the answer.

"Ahh It's a super long, super awkward name, you can actually recite it. Zhuo Yifan looked at Mr. Jin in surprise.

"Hehe, I've been in the NBA for more than 20 years, but I'm an NBA expert! I interviewed Uncle Mutembo before, and he taught me for a while before I remembered it. Mr. Kim said proudly.

"In comparison, this Uncle Mu's Congolese countryman's name is much simpler!" Li Xin covered his mouth and laughed, for fear of being heard by the African boy.

"Okay, don't talk about that, as far as I can tell, this African teenager is very good, even in the high school basketball game of the French powerhouse, he is the top player, and the center position is one of the best."

"So powerful?" Zhuo and Li Xin were surprised.

"Well, you'll know when the game comes later, so don't take it lightly!" Mr. Kim still reminded the two with a smile.

After that comes the power forward: Juan. Mascherano (Juan Mascherano Argentina 205cm), a 17-year-old boy from Argentina, a basketball powerhouse, although he is very tall and has a certain weight, he is not a big bamboo pole that is weak.

Small forward: Nicholas. Romero (Nicolas Romero Argentina 192cm) is also from Argentina, since Manu. Ginobili's outstanding performance with the Spurs has seen several Argentines enter the NBA. Since winning the men's basketball title at the Athens Olympics, Argentina has become a force to be reckoned with by the United States. It is also an honor to spare no effort in the cultivation of young players, and it is indeed an honor to be able to compete with the top domestic masters in Argentina of the same age.

Shooting Guard: Leonardo. Leandro Raissa (Brazil 187cm), played in the previous day's three-on-three match. The ability is not very strong, but it also got 2 points in addition to Durant's score, so it's better to pay attention to it. After all, it stands to reason that Brazil is also a basketball powerhouse, and the strength of outstanding basketball high school students in China will not be much worse.

Point Guard: Andrew. Andrew Mills (Andrew Mills Australia 185cm), the strength of the Australian men's basketball team is also very good, fierce defense, accurate shooting is its distinctive features, let's see how the Australian teenager will perform.

The referee's whistle blows, and the game begins:

The 210cm Jalali and the 208cm Alexis jump the ball in the center circle, and there are really few players who are that tall in the domestic high school competition. But internationally, people of this height abound.

Although Alexis was not as tall as Jalali, he was exceptionally good at bouncing and was the first to get the ball. The ball was picked up by a teammate and the first wave of the World United's offensive began.

This is Li Xin's first time representing China in the competition, although it is just an ordinary exchange training match, but Li Xin is still very excited!

The first offense is not rushed, but a process of getting acquainted with your teammates. Except for Zhuo Yifan, what is the ability of the other teammates, except for a little bit seen in the training and games a few days ago, the rest Li Xin really doesn't know anything.

If it's just to cooperate with Zhuo, then it's too disrespectful to other teammates. Li Xin motioned to Zhuo to be a blocker, break through with the ball and try to attack or break through the ball.

Zhuo resisted the opposing point guard Mills, Li Xin accelerated his pace into the interior, and small forward Romero quickly made up for the defense. The pace is fast, and the awareness of supplementation is very good. It seems that the strength of the opponent is indeed not weak, Li Xin shook his hand, transferred the ball to the left three-point line in a wide range, and it was the Japanese guard Takaichi Sato who received the ball.

No one is guarded, shoot!

Sato made some adjustments and took up and shot the basket. The ball went into the basket with a "bang".

"Three points!" A good start with three points.

"This Sato is good, as good as Xia Jun!" Li Xin was secretly happy in his heart.

In the process of returning to the defense, Li Xin did not forget to run to Sato and high-five him to celebrate, expressing a kind of friendship.

Japanese teenagers are also smiling, and they can be affirmed by unfamiliar teammates, and their hearts are also beautiful.

Every teenager who can come to this training camp has paid a lot of sweat off the field to be qualified to stand here. As for what kind of effort and what kind of results have been achieved, only I and the investigators at the NBA headquarters will know.

For example, this Sato, at the age of 17, he is about to graduate from high school, the same age as Li Xin. Originally from Hokuriku High School in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, he reached the final of the national competition in Japan at the end of last year, but unfortunately lost to the final champion of Ronan High School. He was the team's leading scorer, finishing with 28 points, six assists and six three-pointers. In the end, he lost by 4 points, and his opponent Luonan High School is the new hegemon of Japanese high school basketball that has emerged in recent years, reaching the finals 8 times in the past 10 years, and winning the championship 7 times!

Hitting 300 three-pointers at the arena every day after class was a compulsory course for Sato in the three years of high school, and he didn't miss a day unless there was an emergency at home or he was sick, including holidays. Every day when I leave the stadium, it is already dark and I can't see my fingers, put on my headphones, slowly walk to the station alone to take the last bus home, and sometimes I have to continue to complete my homework.

When he first entered the school in his first year of high school, he was just an ordinary teenager with a height of 174cm, and his height skyrocketed by 14 cm in more than 2 years, and his ball skills and high-percentage shooting skyrocketed together. At last year's national competition, he topped the list with a 41% three-point shooting percentage.

Sato's experience is very similar to Li Xin, a teenager who loves basketball who is not in good physical condition, through his continuous efforts, hopes to lead the team to win the championship, but unfortunately loses by a small margin. Because youth is often full of regrets, but it will become the most precious memory.

With just one attack, Li Xin had a heart-to-heart with this Japanese teenager. In a simple contact, he could feel that this was a teenager with average talent but extremely diligent in playing, and soon formed a tacit understanding.

Coupled with the tacit understanding with Zhuo, there is already a prototype of a triangle attack in the attack. After a few rounds, the trio scored 12 of the team's 15 points.

With the height advantage of Jalaari on the inside, he rushed to grab the frontcourt rebounds several times and formed a secondary offense.

In the opening stage, the Asian team led the world team 15:11.

"Play well, keep it up." Because it is a training game, the coach will rarely call a timeout to ensure the flow of the game, and the interim coach is not familiar with the players on the field.

The well-trained teenagers played very quickly in attack and defense.

The World United team judged correctly when Li Xin passed the ball to Zhuo, and the scoring guard Raisa successfully copied the ball and launched a counterattack.

"Attack!" Raissa makes a long pass to small forward Romero. Also on the rampage was point guard Mills. The front court formed a two-on-one trend, and Raisa also arrived quickly.

Romero was extremely fast to burst inside, even though Zhuo and the tall center Jalari defended, and in the middle of the jump, he cleverly passed the ball back to the big forward who was inserted behind, fellow Argentine Mascherano. On the one hand, he skillfully blocked the opponent's inside line with his body.

Mascherano was unguarded and scored on an easy layup.

"Well done!" Romero stepped forward to high-five Mascherano in celebration. It seems that these two teenagers have known each other in China and have a certain degree of cooperation.

"Damn!" Li Xin, who was easily cut off the ball, was still a little indignant and dissatisfied with his carelessness.

Serving from the baseline, the Asian United team was extremely fast and immediately began to counterattack.

"Do you want to compete with your opponent to steal points?" Damian of the U.S. team watching the game from the sidelines. McKins said to himself.

"So fast!" Mills' defense is still unstable, and Li Xin has already held the ball and entered the interior. Only to see the opponent's points.

"Want to break in?" Romero thought to himself. Seeing that Li Xin had already gotten up, holding the ball with one hand and protecting the ball with the other.

Li Xin suddenly changed his hand and sent the ball downward, and the ball that he originally wanted to pass to the center was actually blocked by Romero's outstretched arm.

"Oops!" Li Xin was surprised. The ball was picked up by Mills again.

Off the field, Mr. Wesley, the interim head coach of the Asian United, looked at the files of the players on the field.

Nicholas. Romero, who hails from St. Louis and leads the team to the provincial championship, averaging 21.5 points and 5.5 steals per game? Seeing this data, Wesley couldn't help but be taken aback. What kind of terrifying defense is 5.5 steals per game?

In the fast break, it was power forward Mascherano who completed the layup.

Juan. Mascherano, from Buenos Aires, is also a provincial champion on the same team, averaging 24.4 points, 16.5 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game, with a well-rounded performance, especially 16.5 rebounds per game, relying on his height of 205cm to dominate under the basket.

There were many praises from the audience.

Under the leadership of the Argentine twin stars, the World United team played a small climax of 8:0 in one fell swoop, overtaking 20:15! (To be continued.) )
