In the process of returning to defense, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Mascherano bumped into Zhuo Yifan. Zhuo stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Damn, it hurts, you damn brute!" Zhuo touched his shoulder with his hand.

Li Xin was ready to ask for a request in the off-ball run, but was held by Mills with his arm and couldn't move for a while.

"Isn't that a foul?" Li Xin shouted, watching the ball being blocked.

The tough defense made Li Xin very unaccustomed to it, and it was indeed very different from the domestic game.

Two passes, this time for Romero to attack, the feint under the basket deceived the center's defense, and scored another 2 points on the sideways board.

"Not good, not good!" Zhuo shook his head repeatedly.

Taipei small forward Lin Xuemin's jumper missed, and Congolese center Alexis grabbed the rebound.

"It's a counterattack again!"

Mascherano was already in position and reached for the ball. Still muttering something.

In fact, he was saying, "Give me the ball, this guy who defends me is not my opponent at all!" "It's English with a strong accent, but Takuya understands it.

"Bastard, what are you talking about!" Zhuo scolded.

Mascherano resisted Zhuo after receiving the ball, 205cm VS 193cm, is he going to use his height advantage to eat the opponent?

No, he was just a feint, and the ball was passed to Brazilian guard Raisa, who ran to the three-point position.

"Raisa!"

Immediately after receiving the ball, the action is fast and hidden, reminiscent of the NBA's "cute god" Stephen. Curry's three-point shooting.

"Hit!" Raissa hit a three-pointer on his first shot.

In the space of 4 minutes, the Asian United team did not score a point, but was beaten by the opponent with a 13:0 climax, and the form took a sharp turn.

"Each one is amazing! He is worthy of being the top teenager of a basketball powerhouse!" Li Xin sighed.

"It's amazing, though! But I have to say that they play a bit 'dirty'! Li Xin was a little dissatisfied with the other party's physical collision, but the referee didn't judge, saying that it sounds good is called reasonable body movements, and if it doesn't sound good, it is dirty.

"I don't want to lose the first game!" Thinking that there are European United and American United in the back, the strength will definitely not be worse than this world team. If you lose this game, there is little hope for the future, and the bottom of the Asian team is too ugly, but I am representing China, don't lose this person abroad.

Although it was just a training and exchange competition, Li Xin didn't want to lose.

"Don't worry! Calm down! Let's make a goal first! Xia Hongsen, who was not on the field and was also from China, shouted from the sidelines.

"Just hit it as you normally would! Come on! "The Chinese teammates kept cheering for themselves.

There was a timeout on the sidelines, and the interim head coach saw the unfavorable situation and finally called a timeout.

"The World League, which is centered on South Americans, is characterized by basketball as a whole! We have to play a different style than them and not get caught up in the other person's rhythm! After less than 10 minutes of play, interim head coach Wesley saw the signs on the field.

"How should we fight?"

"As far as I know, you, you, you, you!" Wesley pointed to Li Xin, Zhuo Yifan, Sato and Lin Xuemin one by one.

"You're all players who are good at speed! We should pick up the pace of the game and win with speed. ”

"The four of you are in charge of the fast break, and try to complete the attack time in 10 seconds for each game."

"10 seconds?" When Wesley said this number, Li Xin couldn't help but be taken aback:

"In such a short period of time, can you guarantee the efficiency of the attack?"

"No amount of time can guarantee offensive efficiency, even if it uses up 30 seconds of offensive time." Wesley continued.

'When the opposition is in position, there is no chance at all, the best time to score is in these 10 seconds, so we have to play fast. What's more—" Wesley said as he walked up to Jalaari, an Iranian, and patted him on the shoulder.

"What's more, we have the highest rebounding guarantee on the court, so you can rest assured to attack!"

The players who had been called by Wesley woke up and returned to the field with the coach's latest tactical thinking.

Mills ran over and tried to stop Li Xin from receiving the ball. Li Xin was "furious" and secretly decided that he would redouble his efforts in the next game. The unusual performance made Mills stunned.

The ball passed to Sato's hand and advanced to the frontcourt, dribbling the ball in two consecutive cross-steps, shaking off Raisa's center of gravity, breaking through the basket and jumping high.

"So fast?" The inside line of the World United team obviously did not expect Sato's surprise attack, and opened the twin towers to block Sato.

Sato switched the ball to his low left hand in the air, bypassed the defense of the two big men, and sent the ball from behind them. On the other hand, Zhuo has followed up in time.

"Haha, it's empty under the basket!" Zhuo Gao jumped high and held the ball with one arm facing the empty frame.

Mascherano wanted to turn back to defend again, but it was too late, through a powerful one-arm buckle from him!

"Bang!" There was a loud bang on the ground, and Zhuo hung on the basket and shook the basket.

"Good shot! Attaboy! The stadium was boiling, and the shouts were endless.

Defensive fouls, plus a free throw.

Zhuo smiled evilly, and cast a contemptuous look at Mascherano: "Finally let out a mouthful of evil qi that was suppressed by you before!" ”

Zhuo, who had already made great progress in shooting, scored a free throw. Wesley looked at the chronograph, and there were 22 seconds left.

"It only took 8 seconds to attack, which is good, that's how it plays!"

That's only seven points behind.

The offense rotated, and Romero's mid-range shot missed.

"Humph!" Iranian giant Jalali held on to the rebound.

"Counterattack!" This time, Li Xin advanced quickly, but the opponent's foothold was not stable, and he didn't expect the pace of the game to suddenly become faster, and he was not suitable for a while.

Using the speed advantage and continuous disguised dribbling to temporarily shake off Mills' defense, he suddenly jumped up and made a mid-range shot.

"So fast!?"

"No!" Before the opponent could rejoice, a huge black shadow emerged from behind and slammed the popping basketball into it.

"Successful deduction!" It was center Jalari who inserted the dunk, a successful frontcourt rebound and two offenses.

"Well done!" Xia Hongsen applauded again and again off the court. There were 23 seconds left on the chronograph.

"7 seconds, good rhythm! Just don't get caught up in a positional attack, and win with a quick attack. ”

The Asian United, which perfectly executed the coach's intentions, managed to play their own rhythm in the second half of the first half. Li Xin, Zhuo Yifan, Taipei forward Lin Xuemin, and Japanese defender Sato continuously completed the attack with fast attack.

The World United, relying on the cooperation of the Argentine twin stars and the sudden cold arrow of Brazilian defender Raisa, bit the score.

At the end of the first half, the Asian United took a four-point lead at 47:43.

"Good fight! Keep it up in the second half! ”

"In the second half, Xia Hongsen is on, Li Xin will rest for a while!" Wesley instructed the substitution.

"Let's watch your teammates play off the field!" Li Xin was about to say something, but Wesley came up and patted him on the shoulder and said.

When he returned to the field, the opponent's Congolese center forward was also replaced and replaced with a player of more than 190cm.

"Put the 208cm center down, and the rebound will not protect the disadvantage. Is this also to strengthen the fast attack, and we are against Biao? Li Xin pondered the other party's intentions.

The player who played against him was Martin. Martin Silva is also from Brazil, 194cm tall and forward. This is a line-up of four South American players and an Australian defender.

Will this Silva have a more tacit cooperation with Raissa?

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the offensive of the World United, Mills handed over the ball just after half time, and the ball fell to the hands of the new Silva, who couldn't help but say, directly shook the opponent's body center of gravity with continuous disguise and back-to-body dribbling. Suddenly taking a step forward, Sato, who was defending, took a step back. Silva immediately retracted his steps, opened a space between him and Sato, and jumped suddenly.

"That's it?" Sato was surprised!

Pull-up jumper, ball in the basket!

"Entered!" Sato was completely defenseless against this ball. World United got off to a good start in the second half.

"Don't be discouraged! Just pull it back! Xia Hongsen ran over and patted Sato's back and comforted.

Li Xin went off the field, and the tactical thinking on the field remained unchanged, and he still used fast attack to solve the battle.

Lin Xuemin held the ball into the third division, and the quick breakthrough made a quick stop. Romero stepped forward to block, and Raisa also tried to trap not far away. But Lin didn't want to shoot, and changed hands in the air and passed directly to the bottom line, Xia Hongsen, who had just run in place.

It's an unguarded space again, and he shoots with his hands, and the speed is as fast as lightning.

"Three points!" Xia Hongsen easily shot three points, and saw the 'invisible blood droplets' on the court again.

"Damn!" Raissa was indignant because of his displacement.

What Lin Xuemin wants is a point that attracts the opponent's defense.

3 points for 2 points, the second half started at 50:45 Asian United led by 5 points!

"There are a lot of shooters!"

"It seems that when playing with them, you have to pay more attention to fast-break defense and outside offense." U.S. United's 18-year-old white point guard Doug Brown. Doug Allen, on the sidelines and coming to Damian. McKins discussed.

"One more goal, get the score back!" Mills raised his hand to reorganize the attack.

Positional offense is the strength of the World United, with four South American players on the court at the same time, and a more similar basketball philosophy allows them to work better together.

In 5 minutes, with a smooth rotation of the attack, Romero, Silva, and Mascherano scored 10 points.

The Asian United's lineup of four small and one large, four players with three-point shooting ability sometimes break through, and sometimes the outside offense also makes the World United's defense extremely fragile.

"Three points again!" The left side is vacant at a 45-degree angle, and this time it is Lin Xuemin who shoots!

"Hit!" It was the third three-pointer of the second half for the Asian team, and three three-pointers, all from different players. Another 14:10 attack wave. Asian United stretched the deficit to nine points.

There were substitutions on the sidelines, Sato, who had played 30 minutes, went off the pitch and Li Xin returned to the game. Zhuo Yifan also went off the field and was replaced by another Japanese power forward, Okamura Daiki, who is slightly taller than Zhuo at 195cm.

"Li Xin, come on! It's up to you next. Zhuo Xia and Li Xin high-fived and encouraged.

Li Xin hummed and walked onto the court. (To be continued.) )
