In the second quarter, the U.S. United team made no substitutions, and it was still the starting five.

In the opening Asian United, Lin Xuemin, Li Xin, and Zhuo Yifan are all players with a certain speed, and the defense of the United States United is solid, and only by using the continuous running without the ball interspersed back and forth can the opponent's defense be torn apart little by little. Just like a carpenter cutting wood, don't expect an axe to cut down a big tree, be prepared for dozens or hundreds of axes. Don't expect to tear up gaps in the US United with one or two passes, only patience and more effective movement will give you a chance. After seven or eight consecutive reversals. Lin Xuemin hit a sudden stop-and-go jump shot after dribbling, and finally rewrote the score on the scoreboard of the Asian United team to double digits.

27：10。

"Come on, don't look at the 17-point difference, play a little hard to get the score close to 10 points!" Li Xin stepped forward and high-fived Lin Xuemin to encourage.

After high-fives, Li Xin bent down again, lowered his center of gravity, and followed Wesley's instructions to keep a firm look at Allen, the point guard who was guarding the opponent, just like they did to him before.

It was McKins who held the ball in the center circle again, and every member of the Asian United team worked hard, looking at their opponents and not leaving half a step. McKins looked around and didn't have a good passing line, and finally tried a high inside line to run back to Kerr.

"It's now!" A voice flashed in Li Xin's heart, he stepped forward on the ground, jumped up diagonally, leaned sideways in mid-air, and blocked the pass, a successful steal.

"Fight back!" Li Xin shouted, quickly broke through to the front court, ran outside the three-point arc to distribute the ball to Lin Xuemin, dribbled in the middle of the movement, and threw it back to Zhuo Yifan on the left side. After receiving the ball, he jumped directly and jumped high, the defender had lost his best defensive position, and then tried to jump up to block the ball, but Zhuo held the ball with both arms and protected it well, dunking the ball into the basket as if he was picking the moon in the air, and while also making a pull-up movement to see the defender who landed below and hit his arm with his hand, this person was McKins.

"Good shot! Two plus one! "The shot also caused the opponent to foul and add a penalty.

What's more, it was McKins, the core of the American United team, who committed the foul in the first quarter.

Zhuo stood at the free throw line, and Zhuo's shooting improved a lot compared to when he first joined the Siyuan basketball team three years ago. With the reasonable help of Xia Jun, Li Xin, Li Xiaolong, and Zhou Junyi, Zhuo Yifan has gone from a reckless man who can only play and dunk inside, to a well-rounded forward with a soft hand and a mid-range shot.

This is the case with a standard shooting motion, where Zhuo spreads his fingers, holds the ball with his fingers, aligns the bowler's wrist with the line directly above the ball, and then holds the ball with his fingers apart, holding the ball slightly on the side of the ball with his left hand. The arm flicked the ball with a flick of the fingers while the elbow key was straightened, and the ball spun and flew off the distance with ease, falling hollow into the net bag.

At 27:13, the gap narrows further. And McKins has already been fouled twice, and if there is another foul, he will definitely be substituted.

The Asian team, which scored five points in a row, forced the American team to finally call a timeout.

The first offense after the United States timeout, after two passes, the ball returned to Allen's hand, near the three-point line, there was no one else next to him, and he opened the formation and began to play alone, and the opponent was Li Xin.

Allen continued to dribble with cross-steps under his crotch, trying to find an opportunity to shake Li Xin, but no matter how you shake, Li Xin was always unmoved, he knew very well which action was real and which action was false.

and Zhang Qiyi, Zhang Zhenyi, Cheng Si, Wang Linzhou, these top domestic defenders, are all masters. Especially in the sparring with the former captain Han Chongyu, he has also grown into an "ankle killer"!

Seeing that Li Xin was unmoved and couldn't break through, the time for the attack was coming again. Allen could only force a three-point shot that suddenly jumped from the outside, the ball knocked down the front of the basket and missed, and the rebound was obtained by Zhuo Yifan. The U.S. team had missed three consecutive offenses at the start of the second quarter.

"Damn, this kid from China, his defense is good!" Allen was angry in his heart, but he was also the assist king of Ohio, and his score was also third in the state, and he was actually guarded by an unknown Chinese teenager who lost his temper.

Switching offense and defense, Li Xin dribbled to the front court, this time it was changed to him and Allen one-on-one, Li Xin kept dribbling with his left hand, looking for opportunities. He knows very well that although his passing ability and shooting ability are also good, but against a super team like the United States, his individual ability is negligible, and it is estimated that no one in the opponent's team will take advantage of his defensive ability. And more should be scored by overall coordination.

"Come on, boy!" Aaron reached out and made a provocative gesture to let the horse over.

Li Xin just pouted and smiled, and at the same time distributed the ball to Lin Xuemin on the left side, thinking:

"Let me do it, I can't do this!"

Lin Xuemin faced McKins' defense, shook the ball left and right twice with both hands, suddenly started, used speed to seize a favorable position, burst to the middle, and threw his right hand outward, McKins' center of gravity was unstable. Lin Xuemin turned back to the basket and stepped back to make a jumper, the referee's whistle blew, and McKins pushed behind to foul.

Lin Xuemin still shot in the air, and the ball fell into the net bag hollow, another two-plus-one.

More critically, it was McKins' third foul.

Damian, who was fouled three times. McKins was finally substituted, and his substitute was Rennes. Harris, from Georgia, is a 193cm tall striker swingman. Also on the field was the inside player Sean. Jones, who is 206cm tall, replaced Douglas, a slower-moving center with a somewhat reduced physical strength. There has been some drop in the overall height of the U.S. United on the field.

"Lin, that's good!" Even the Iranian center Jalali, who was not very talkative, stepped forward to high-five Lin in celebration.

"I didn't expect there to be such an outstanding high school basketball player in Taipei!" Xia Hongsen covered his mouth and whispered to Li Xin.

"Isn't that right? Taiwan's HBL league is in full swing, and it is much more popular than the mainland's CHBL in terms of attention, event broadcasting, event arrangement, and audience popularity. In addition, Taiwan's high school is the hardest time to practice, and the team's training of five or six hours a day is the norm, and the basketball team members can be said to practice in addition to studying and sleeping. The strength of the players at this stage is no worse than that of the mainland. Li Xin responded to Xia Hongsen.

"How do you know so much?" Xia Hongsen asked curiously.

"I read it on the Internet, and my father told me!"

"Your father?"

"Well, he went to Taiwan when he was young, and he also participated in a competition there, so he knows more about the situation in Taiwan, it was around 1995, and the Taiwan high school league was very good. At that time, China did not have a full-fledged high school league. ”

Lin Xuemin stood on the free throw line and easily hit a free throw.

In the second quarter, the Asian United scored 8 points in a row, quickly narrowing the difference, 27:16, only 11 points behind, and has reached the first stage goal of approaching 10 points.

After McKins came off the court, he broke the situation of the two players, and only playmaker Allen took on the playmaking task on the field. Comparatively, there was a little less defensive pressure on the Asian team.

Allen passed the ball to Avlaro near the free throw line, Avralo shook it, dribbled sideways to the middle and jumped to shoot, but under Zhuo Yifan's interference, the ball missed. In the first three minutes of the second quarter, the United States did not score a single point.

Scoring guard Cole fouled in defense, Lin Xuemin sent the sideline ball, and Zhuo didn't catch the ball.

"Referee! Pull my jersey behind him! Zhuo complained to the referee that the fact was that Harris behind Zhuo interfered with Zhuo's catch, but his movements were very hidden and not seen by the referee.

The referee ignored Zhuo's appeal and still awarded the ball to the United States. Zhuo can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and he can't say the bitterness.

"I know the baby is crying, but the baby doesn't cry!" Li Xin stepped forward and patted Zhuo's waist and said softly mockingly.

"Get out! Get back on guard! Zhuo shook off Li Xin's hand on his waist and scolded angrily and funny.

The corners of Li Xin's mouth rose, and he secretly smiled and returned to his own half-court defense.

"Wren. Harris is a top wing defender! Even among the forwards of the United States team, I am afraid that the defensive ability is one of the best. Wesley put his hands on his chest and began to talk to himself again.

"Is he better defensively than McKins?" Sato, who was at a break from the court, asked.

"It's definitely better than McKins, but he's not as good as McKins in scoring and playmaking. When we were attacking, he was at this point, trying to minimize the attack. ”

"Chew~!" A whistle blew, and the referee awarded Lin Xuemin a defensive foul. The U.S. United served on the sideline, and Avralo sent the ball to playmaking guard Allen, dribbled twice, and then split the ball to the right to Cole, who had just run from the three-point line.

directly received the ball and started outside the three-point line, completely caught Xia Hongsen off guard, and didn't see the opponent's movements clearly.

The ball hollowed into the frame, and the three-pointer American United scored for the first time of the second quarter.

At 30:16, the gap widened to 14 points.

While defending back, Cole spread out his hands and made a Nai I move.

"After McKins went off the court, the United States began to pay attention to outside scoring!" Wesley sensed the change on the field.

The foul of the center Jones, the game formed a dead ball again, and Wesley took this opportunity to hurriedly beckon Li Xin over, and said a few words in person:

"Pay attention to the perimeter shots of the American United, especially the two guards, Kerr and Allen. Small forward Harris also has some outside shooting ability, but he is not consistent enough. However, he has quite a breakthrough ability, and the main way to score is to break through the inside line to make a layup or dunk, as well as to cause the opponent to foul and score free throws, and he tries to use the pinch tactics when he breaks through. When attacking, try to minimize the attack on the flank against Harris, and look for opportunities on the inside and mid-range! ”

"Understood, Mr. Wesley!" Li Xin agreed, but at the same time he wondered: "Is this Mr. Wesley really just a coach in the training camp?" How do you know so much about every player in the United States team, you must know that there are 50 states in the United States, and there are endless excellent basketball players. How could he be so clear, what was the origin? (To be continued.) )
