Point guard: 16-year-old Lazaros. Lazaros Samaris is 187cm tall and weighs 77kg and is from Greece.

Finally, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the United States:

Center: David from Alabama. David Douglas, who is 210cm tall and weighs 113 kilograms, is a monster and the tallest player in the United States team.

Power forward: LaMarcus, who has previously excelled in three-on-three matchups. Avraro, with a height of 203cm and a weight of 105kg, is very robust.

Small forward: 17-year-old black teenager Damian. Damian Mckins, from California, small forward, 197cm tall, 95kg.

Point Guard: 18-year-old white, Doug Brown. Doug Allen, from Ohio, is 188cm tall and weighs 83kg.

Looking at the teenagers of the United States team, although they don't know what their strength is, just looking at their body shape and mental outlook, they are either slender and lean, or stocky and strong, and they look murderous. And before the fight started, he looked confident, and there was a trace of contempt in his opponent's eyes. But this contempt is definitely not to underestimate the enemy, but to have full confidence in one's own strength.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.

Douglas of the American United jumped high and scrambled for the ball.

The U.S. team took the lead in attacking. The smooth interspersed running of the players without the team, the virtual and the real, made the opponent unable to deal with it, and instantly tore apart the opponent's defense. Guard Kerr hit a two-pointer first.

Back in defense, tenacious one-on-one man-to-man defense, even if the opponent breaks through, he immediately changes the defense. Urisic's breakaway layup missed, and the U.S. team successfully defended.

The U.S. United's long pass counterattack was extremely fast, and the small forward Damian Brown. McKins and Avlaro have already hit the basket. McKins received Avralo's pass, relayed in the air, poured the ball into the basket, and the skills were amazing!

It's only been 40 seconds since the opening, and the atmosphere has been fully ignited.

Lucas's singles turnaround jumper was fanned out by McKins. Guard Allen got the ball and quickly counterattacked again and made a layup.

Only 1 minute into the game, the U.S. team had already played a small climax of 6:0.

Samaris had just held the ball over half the court, crossed the middle, but was tackled by the fast McKins, a one-man fast attack, one-arm tomahawk split to end the attack.

Rich, the big forward of the European United team, missed the inside jumper again under the interference of the opponent, and the rebound was grabbed by Avralo. The basket popped up in the ball, Colimavis Hughes and Richie, two interior players who were more than 2 meters tall, did not get the rebound, but were rushed by Avralo, who was inserted behind, to grab the rebound.

After landing on the ground, he got up directly, threw the ball to the basket, and scored two more points.

10:0, in the opening 2 minutes, the junior team of the European United team was completely stunned by the fast-paced offense, high-intensity defense, and active rebounding of the American team.

"Don't be in a hurry, fight slowly!" Greek defender Samaris comforted his teammates and slowed down the pace of the attack. Restarting, back and forth passes and screens were never able to open the American United's defense. Seeing that the 30 seconds were up, the ball was handed to the inside lineman Colimavis Hughes, and a hook hand was thrown. before scoring the first goal for Europa United.

10:2

"That's the strength of the U.S. team?" Li Xin was a little surprised to see it off the field. The strength of the United States team is predictable, and the United States, as the kingdom of basketball, has countless basketball talents, whether it is a junior, youth or senior team. The perfection of echelon construction and the sufficiency of talent reserves are incomparable to any other country.

"One Avraro is strong enough, and now it feels like five Avraro playing!" Zhuo Yifan also sighed. In the previous three-on-three games between Durant and Paul, Avralo, who had a brilliant performance, was eye-catching, and this is the strength of excellent basketball players in American high schools.

Although Zhuo was once known for his arrogance in domestic competitions, his opponents generally did not pay attention to him. Even in the national competition, among the top masters, he has not been scared of anyone. But Avralo, in front of him, is fortunate to be his teammate rather than an opponent in a three-on-three match.

But two days later, he will become an opponent in a five-on-five confrontation, super fast bounce speed, extremely fast reaction, outstanding physical condition, strong impact under the basket, and domineering rebounding control, all of which surprised Zhuo, if he becomes his opponent on the court, he will have no chance of winning.

At this time, there are five people on the field of the United States United team, each of whom has distinctive characteristics, although there may have been some communication between the players before, but after all, it is not a state or a school, and there should be no experience of training together for a long time. But the extremely high basketball IQ allows them to achieve a very high level of cooperation without more training. The so-called never saw the plum blossom spectrum, and it probably refers to this kind of realm from the gods.

The whole team is like a high-speed machine, each with their own role and characteristics. This reminds Li Xin of last year's CHBL championship, the Jida Affiliated Squadron, isn't it also a high-speed machine that performs its own duties and has its own characteristics, and players with different characteristics gather together to crush the opponent's defense and defuse the opponent's offensive? But the difference is that none of the players at Jida High School can be called an all-star level except for captain Cheng Si. But each of these five members of the American United team is an all-star level, no, a superstar level.

Under the mercury-like offensive of the American team, the European team was difficult to resist for a while. Although it was Urisic who hit three three-pointers. Colimavis Hughes fought his way out of the space inside. At halftime, they still trailed by as many as 22 points at 29:51.

In the second half, the United States adjusted its lineup and made four substitutions in a row.

They are: 15-year-old white teenager Chris. Chris Gibson, 199cm tall and 92kg in weight, is from Florida and plays as a power forward.

17-year-old black shooter Wren. Ryan Harris, who is 193cm tall and weighs 96 kg, is from Georgia.

17-year-old black center Sean. Sean Jones, who is 206cm tall and weighs 104 kilograms, is from Colorado.

18-year-old black small forward Greg. Greg Martin, but Martin's complexion is not very dark, similar to brownish-yellow, apparently also a mixed-race, from Kansas, 200cm tall, weighing 105kg, very strong, looks like a little James.

"Only Allen, the starting point guard, was left, and the other four main players were all rested. Although the lead is 22 points, after all, there are still 20 minutes of the game, and it can't be said that the victory is decided, so change the substitute lineup? Isn't that too hasty? Li Xin expressed puzzlement at the large substitution of the United States team.

But the performance in the first five minutes changed Li Xin's mind. Where is this substitution, it's another shift of rotating Super All-Stars.

Harris scored six straight points on consecutive jumpers, Martin blocked the opponent's offense with three blocks, and Jones firmly controlled the rebound, and did not let the opponent grab a rebound in five points. Gibson's several baskets forced the opposing center to make the opponent helpless.

Within five minutes, there was another 13-4 mini-surge, and the U.S. lead reached 31 points. Completely stopped the opponent, and could only ask for a timeout.

After the timeout, the European team improved slightly, and the American team also slackened their defense, closing the gap to 25 points in six minutes.

And another wave of offensive before the end of the game opened the score again.

In the end, the United States team defeated the opponent by 36 points with 107:71, and no one scored 25, but there were as many as 7 who scored more than 10 points, which shows the strength of the overall combat strength.

At the end of the first day of the game, the United States United and the Asian United both won one game and ranked first and second respectively, while the World United and European United each lost one game and ranked third and fourth.

Sleeping in bed at night, Li Xin and Zhuo kept thinking about the performance of the American United team during the day.

"Asleep?" Li Xin asked.

"No, you didn't sleep either?"

"yes, you're thinking about the U.S. United game, too?"

"Well, you said that we can score points for fighting this American team?" Zhuo asked Li Xin.

"I don't know, I hope I don't lose to 40 points, otherwise it's too ugly! The strength of that European team is not below the world team, they all lost so badly. ”

"Before I knew it, I lost so much, I didn't have any resistance at all, and it didn't feel like a level of competition at all. It feels like"

"It's like a game between a high school student and an elementary school student, and the winner is already decided after 10 minutes of play."

"Yes, I thought I was playing very well, and I thought I could compete with the American team, but now it seems that the game the day after tomorrow is to beg for abuse!"

"Hey, is this the gap? The level of basketball between China and the United States, the all-round gap! But I'm a little excited, and there are such powerful opponents. ”

"How? Do you want to go for a walk in the United States? Take a look at the strength of folk basketball. ”

"What are your plans?"

"After summer camp, go to the streets of America and pick it up, right?"

"You want to go to the Yankees for bullfighting?"

"Don't you want to?"

"Think, then the two of us, is there still one missing?"

"Call Wheat!"

"Michael. Mccarthy? Can he come? ”

"Yes! I have contacted him, he is free during the summer vacation, help him buy a ticket to come, no problem, it just so happens that we can also get together and play for two days, he knows more about the situation in the United States, and he just took us to play as a landlord. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Come back to Los Angeles with me, where there are a lot of Chinese and the basketball atmosphere is better. Play for two days and then go back to China, I will help you change your ticket! ”

"Then it's settled!"

"Good!" (To be continued.) )
