"That's what you keep working for, and as long as you don't give up on the game and stay aggressive about winning, the game will pay off for you. Whatever the end result, at least your self-confidence will only increase, not decrease. Your momentum will only increase, not fall, and that's what the good game has taught us. Li Xin looked at the ups and downs of the game and said to Zhuo Yifan excitedly.

"You can see that the players on both sides are really moving today. No one wants to smear their country and region, this game is far beyond the scope of ordinary practice games, and this NBA summer camp is too rewarding! Zhuo Yifan clenched his hands into fists and said excitedly.

A perfect attack, the world team wants to celebrate, but at this time, the slightest negligence, even if it is only 1 second, will give the opponent a chance.

"The game isn't over yet!" Romero on the bench of the World United team shouted anxiously on the sidelines!

Samaris received the baseline serve, rode alone, and went straight to the front of the World United. All the other players left behind him for an unguarded pull-up three-pointer at the top of the three-point arc in the middle.

"Do you need to be in such a hurry?" Li Xin on the sidelines was very puzzled by this ball, according to his understanding, even if he broke through to the inside line for a few more times, the defenders should not have time to keep up.

"If you don't score these three points, won't the gains outweigh the losses?"

Everyone on the court was watching the ball go, but the angle, distance, and strength of the shot were good in every way. It was a perfect shot.

The ball bounced into the basket after hitting the rebound, and he took responsibility for his own mistakes. Samaris made up for it, hitting a lethal three-pointer.

He clenched his right hand into a fist, raised his arms and shouted, "Yes!" ”

Those who make such shots are either reckless or have absolute confidence in their shooting ability, and Samaris is undoubtedly the latter.

It was this second of hesitation that made the World United pay a terrible price!

92:87。

Only 33 seconds.

Li Xin opened his mouth wide and was also taken aback. Samaris's flawless performance gave him an answer, compared to when Rubio was 16 years old, although he had already stepped onto the stage of the Spanish men's basketball league at a higher level. But the Samaris in front of him undoubtedly has better shooting ability.

Perfect ball control, skillful dribbling, subtle passing, perfect big-picture vision, and excellent shooting ability are exactly the direction of an all-round guard in modern basketball. If there is anything that is a little lacking, it is in terms of physical fitness, compared to the ability of the opponent's strong point guard Mills to impact the basket, the instantaneous bounce speed explosiveness is still a little lacking, but Samaris is still young after all, this talented teenager can have such an outstanding performance at the age of 16, and I am looking forward to what he can be like in a few years?

"Will you be able to meet him again at the World Series for the senior national team? If there are no major injuries in 5 years, he will definitely be selected for the Greek national team, right?! ”

"What about me? I will be 22 years old in five years, which is the best age for a young player to start his career, can I be selected for the Chinese national team? Li Xin put a big question mark on himself. Thinking back to the previous defeat against Euro United, in the confrontation with Samaris, although he did not fall behind in terms of organizational ability. However, in terms of scoring at critical moments, he lost to his opponent, which eventually led to the final defeat.

"Compared to Samaris, I need to improve my projection even further! At the last moment of the game, the defensive team will inevitably accumulate heavy troops on the inside to prevent the opponent from impacting, and at this time, if there is a good long-range shot, like Xia Jun, Xia Hongsen, Samaris, Silva, in order to give the team the greatest help in a desperate situation. Become a BuzzerBeater! Li Xin said to himself.

After that, the World United missed consecutive shots from the outside, and there was little time left, and the opportunity was wasted. At the last moment, the World United team was forced to resort to foul tactics.

After Lucas hit two free throws, the Europa team took a 94-87 lead with 15 seconds left in the game, and the world team sent a sideline ball and Silva hit a difficult three-pointer, but it was too late.

I could only watch the opponents hug each other in celebration, and in the end, the European team defeated the world team 94-90 to achieve the second victory.

Martin. Silva is also a name worth remembering for Li Xin, although the World United team eventually lost, Silva hit 6 three-pointers in this game, and shot 6 of 8 from the field. Repeatedly narrowed the score gap at critical moments, keeping hope alive for the world team until the last minute.

There are some players in the NBA who have not been as good as Jordan, Magic, Malone, etc., and have been in the best form to become superstars. But they have also repeatedly taken over at the last minute in some games, and the shutout matches are also remembered by the fans. For example, the "Maddie moment" of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, and the "Miller moment" of 18 seconds and 8 minutes. It has to have a great mental quality and great shooting skills, and today it was Samaris, and so was Silva. Li Xin benefited a lot from this game, and he got up early to watch the game.

Li Xin looked up at the clock, it was just past 12 o'clock, and it was time for lunch. After lunch, at half past one in the afternoon, it was Li Xin and Zhuo Yifan's Asian United team that appeared on the stage, and they would face the strongest opponent, the United States.

Opponents on the field and friends off the field, the players of the European United and the World United lined up, shook hands one by one, and took off their jerseys to exchange with each other. Some also left contact information for each other. A group of basketball teenagers from all over the world who would not have met would have met each other under the organization of the NBA.

Li Xin applauded the performance of the two teams on the sidelines, and stepped forward to communicate with the two teenagers who performed well in this game.

"Hey, Lazarus!" Li Xin called Samaris's name.

"Hey, your name is Li Xin!" Samaris called out Li Xin's name, which was completely unexpected by him, and he didn't expect him to remember the name of a foreign player.

"Do you know who I am?" Li Xin asked in surprise.

"Of course, we just played each other yesterday. How can you forget, you played well in yesterday's game, and I was impressed. Samaris spoke in English, not fluent, with gestures. Li Xin's English is not very good, but fortunately, Zhuo English next to him is good, and he finally understood, translating for Li Xin, Li Xin finally understood the full meaning.

"No, no, no, it's average, you played well today, of course yesterday was good, but today you were more perfect at both ends of the pitch and I admire your play. Can you tell us about your basketball experience? Li Xin asked again.

"Basketball is a very popular sport in Greece, second only to football. I started playing basketball when I was in the third grade of primary school under the guidance of my parents, and in the sixth grade, I represented the school in the Athens tournament and finished third. After that, I went to secondary school, where I met a good coach. It taught me a lot of things, such as better ball control skills, better shooting and passing movements. For more efficient off-ball running on the court, junior high school students don't have much of a range of esoteric tactics, just talking about some simple tactics, such as marking and packing when defending, and dismantling and breaking points when attacking. The most important thing is to practice the basic skills, in the three years of junior high school, I made rapid progress, but something happened that made me very depressed for a while. Samaris gushed a lot at once, and it seemed that there was no end to what he could say when he met a foreign boy with the same hobby.

"What frustrates you?" Li Xin then asked.

"In the second year of junior high school, I was already the absolute main force in the school team, I led the team to the final four of the city's competition, but in the semi-finals, I was limited by the opposing team's two defenders in turn to defend and pinch shots, the first half consumed a lot of physical strength, in the second half of the second half I was tired and completely unable to organize an effective attack, while the opposing two defenders both have organizational skills, one of the guards is better at shooting and scoring, and one guard is better at defending and passing. The perfect combination of the two limited me to lose my temper, and the team was defeated because of it. I lost another chance to win the title. I started to get frustrated when I got back to school, but the coach saw what was on my mind and encouraged me to practice my shooting more. ”

Samariston paused, and one by one his teammates began to leave the arena to greet him, who waved back.

Then he continued, "He made a shooting plan for me and told me that I could continue it even in high school. Every morning, I would be the first to go to the school arena and shoot 100 shots, 100 free throws, and 100 three-pointers. After the team practice in the evening, they continued to practice the 300 shots. In less than half a year, my shooting ability has improved a lot, and in my freshman year of high school, I not only became the absolute main force of the team, but also became the national league scoring champion, and I finally led the team to win the championship. Now two years later, I have benefited a lot from the coach's shooting plan, and I am very grateful to him, and I still visit him at my alma mater often to ask him some basketball questions. One of my achievements is inseparable from having a good coach. ”

"Summing up one word, 'practice!'" Zhuo Yifan concluded after listening to Samaris's experience.

"He is still very humble, just saying that he met a good coach, but how did other teammates not reach his height, in short, if you want to be superior, you have to put in more effort." Li Xin said.

"Ever heard a famous quote from Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant?" Zhuo Yifan asked.

"Do you know what it's like to be four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles?" Li Xin replied.

"Yes, that's it! So you know! Zhuo nodded.

Of course Li Xin had heard of this sentence.

"Superstars get up at four o'clock every day to practice to become superstars, and it's a star as talented as Kobe Bryant. Li Xin, if you want to enter the national team within 5 years, you have to work harder. What's more, there is a ready-made good coach by your side every day, your father Li Xiaolong, what right do you have to complain about your unsuccess? Forget about the high school league, there should be a higher goal waiting for you, and after entering Jiao Tong University in September, the CUBA qualifiers will start at the end of November, which is your new goal. Li Xin constantly encouraged himself in his heart.

"In four years of college, become the best player in CUBA, win the CUBA championship, and strive for this goal!" Li Xin has set a brand new goal for himself.

Li Xin, come on! (To be continued.) )
