After the opening, the European United attack was very decisive, and Lucas received the ball on the baseline and made his first three-point shot in the face of Lin Xuemin's defense.

"Shoot three points at the beginning!" Lin Xuemin didn't expect the other party to shoot so quickly, and he didn't react for a while.

With a "swish", the ball hollows into the net!

"What? Still in? Is this Lucas, who was beaten up by the Paul team and the American team before? Lin Xuemin was surprised, serving to the bottom line, obviously underestimating the strength of the opponent.

In fact, Lucas is not a soft egg, his Galilee high school is the runner-up team of the French national high school last year, and he is the main player of the team, with a personal score of 18.1 points and 10.2 rebounds, second only to the MVP of the championship team. In addition, he has a height of 195cm, which allows him to play the position of power forward, small forward and even center. When he was a child, he didn't grow taller and played as a guard all the time, which also gave him good ball control and passing skills, as well as a 3-point trick, which made him comfortable on both offensive and defensive ends. As for being completely blown up in the three-on-three match with Paul's team, it was completely the opponent's Avralo who was too strong.

Just like the current Thunder's all-around forward Serge Ibaka, he has outstanding individual ability. But if you encounter an opponent like the "little emperor" James, you can only bow down.

Therefore, the previous game was not a reflection of Lucas's personal ability, but was completely suppressed when he encountered a stronger opponent.

The Asian team attacked twice in a row without success. It was still Europa United's offense, and shooting guard Jurisic also shot from the outside twice, but missed. But Europa United's rebounding control was good, and Lithuanian center Kolimavis Hughes scored on the rebound.

The Asian United team frequently missed, and only Li Xin broke through to score 2 points in the first 2 minutes. European United started the game with an 8-2 run. The unlucky Zhuo Yifan only played 1 minute and 30 seconds before accumulating 2 fouls and had to be replaced.

The Asian United side was knocked out with a stick, and the ensuing game was dizzy, and Sato soon received two fouls and was substituted.

"Cheer up! Take this goal! Li Xin cheered up his teammates.

After Lin Xuemin received the ball on the outside, he saw that the opponent's defense was relatively lax, suddenly started, burst into the inner line, and threw a difficult right hand when the body lost its center of gravity, but the ball missed. Center Jalaari let out a loud shout and grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt. Dense defenders on the inside make the outside very empty. Jalaari flicked his arm and the ball reached the left three-point line of Xia Hongsen, who came on as a substitute for Sato, to receive the ball. Hit a steady shot to get three points back.

Rich broke through and hit a layup, 14-5. Jurisic then added two more points on a throw, and Samaris hit one of two free throws to give the European United a 12-point lead. Only scored 5 points in the first 6 minutes, and was beaten at the beginning.

17:5

Mr. Wesley reluctantly called a timeout:

"Although we lost to the United States yesterday, we must not take our opponents lightly!"

"The opponent's defense was good! It's not an ordinary team at all, so don't be fooled by yesterday's game. Lin Xuemin also saw the clues on the field.

"Even if it's a team that loses by 36 points, and it's so far behind at the beginning, how strong should it be to really face the United States?" Sato also thought about it on the bench, but he didn't think about it further, for fear that it would affect his self-confidence. After all, basketball still has to be played one ball at a time, every ball must be fought, one game at a time, and don't speculate more about the result.

"After yesterday's defeat, today seems to be prepared, after all, it is a battle of honor. These teenagers in Europe will not give up their victory easily. Li Xin took a sip of a drink and said, it has only been more than 6 minutes of competition, and there is already a lot of sweat left on his forehead, which can be seen in the intensity of the game, which has never been seen in domestic competitions except for facing Wusheng Middle School and Nanyang Middle School. I have to admit that the strength of outstanding European high school basketball players is indeed better than the strength of domestic basketball masters.

After the pause, Zhuo Yifan reappeared in the second quarter, but he played more than 1 minute and received his third foul, stretched out his hands and shook his head helplessly, and had to be replaced again.

Lin Xuemin found his touch, and shot from the outside, and the score difference was narrowed to 9 points.

17：8

But here Serbian guard Jurisic saw that the middle of the court was empty, sent a beautiful high pass, the tall Kolimavis Hughes received the ball in the air with one hand, pressed the ball into the basket with a little force, a beautiful Alley-opp (aerial relay), and scored two more points.

"What!" Li Xin was completely defenseless against this goal, his teammates were indeed out of position, and the Asian United team paid the price for their lax defense.

Gangcun Daigui, who replaced Zhuo Yifan, missed a single shot, and the center of Colimavis Hughes grabbed the rebound, immediately counterattacked with a long pass, and the excellent passing line was sent directly to Samaris, and he broke through to the basket.

After a series of wild shots on the inside of the Asian United, the difference was stretched to 13 points again.

21:8

At 7 minutes and 44 seconds in the first half, Jurisic faced Li Xin's defense, judged the situation, and wanted to drop the ball into the inside again, but his eyes betrayed him, Li Xin successfully saw through the passing intention, and passed Sato after success. After Sato faked to shake off the defender, he faced Samaris near the three-point line and jumped straight to hit a difficult shot.

"Good shot!" When Li Xin returned to defense, he patted Sato's back and encouraged.

Where is Yurisic who is the master of eating deflated, he was broken by Li Xin just now and played a counterattack. The immediate counterattack also shot well, and did not show weakness at all.

Yurisic made a provocative gesture of spreading his hands to Li Xin and squeezing his shoulders. It's like saying "I scored, I lost the ball, and I got it back." Everybody is just each other! ”

"Damn!" Li Xin gritted his teeth and was furious at his opponent's provocation.

The European team leads 23-10.

On this side, Lin Xuemin and Lucas carried it again, and Lucas hit a three-pointer in front of Lin Xuemin relying on his height advantage.

After the hit, Lucas also made a demonstration gesture to Lin Xuemin with both arms clenched into fists and bowed down to show his muscles.

He was still muttering, "ComeOn!" Boy！ ”

"What the hell! I have completely forgotten the embarrassment of yesterday's defeat to the United States, and now I am in front of me! What a minion! ”

Lin Xuemin also did not show weakness, received a pass from Li Xin on the bottom line, hit a bottom corner three-pointer, Lucas could not defend and could only watch the ball go into the net. Lin Xuemin shook his right index finger towards Lucas, showing no weakness: "Are you just like that!" ”

The two sides went back and forth, did not give in to each other, and each shot a three-pointer.

After Li Xin made a layup, he made another round of steals, and made persistent efforts to assist the big forward Gangcun Dagui, and Gangcun ran to the basket and added a free throw, and the Asian United team blasted out a wave of 8-3 shockwaves, and the gap between the two sides was only 5 points.

26:18

At 11:22, Lucas hit two free throws, and the European team led by 10 points at 28:18, but Lin Xuemin again scored three points, and the Asian team launched a counterattack, only trailing 28:21 in the first quarter.

Since then, the Asian team has continued to have surprise players. After the European team's timeout, South Korean guard Kim Jun-chol, who had rarely played before, came on as a substitute for Sato and hit a series of shots, and with 4:09 left, he scored five points in a row after hitting a three-point shot. The Asian team trailed by only 2 points at 28:26.

Uuricic also scored three points, and Colimavis Hughes also dunked and colored, and the European team opened up the gap again.

33:26

Samaris came to the end of the first half, scoring seven points on 3-of-3 shooting in less than a minute, and shouted after Samaris broke through for a layup with 1:24 left. With these 7 points, the European team once again blasted a small climax of 12:0, which greatly tested the self-confidence of the Asian team.

The European team opened up the gap again at 40-26

But Li Xin was unmoved, in the face of Samaris's defense, Li Xin smiled, slowly bowed his waist, and suddenly flashed his body left and right, Samaris didn't know which direction Li Xin would break through, he didn't know where to defend, his center of gravity was lost all of a sudden, and his feet involuntarily pushed back a few steps, looking very embarrassed. When Samaris looked at it again, Li Xin was still in place, not moving, just looking at him with a smile.

Samaris was furious in his heart, and then wanted to step forward, but Li Xin came to a three-point jumper, separated by a distance of two people, he could only let Li Xin shoot easily, and before he turned his head to see if he had entered, the beautiful sound of hollowing into the net had sounded in his ears, followed by the loud cheers of the people on the sidelines.

40:29

Before the end of the half, the Asian United team relied on Li Xin's three points, Jin Junzhe's layup, and Lin Xuemin's mid-range shot, and counterattacked several times to narrow the gap again.

Unexpectedly, the 17-year-old white striker from Germany, Christel. Christel Mowski (190cm) hit a three-pointer in an air cut, and Taipei forward Lin Xuemin fouled and hit two free throws, scoring five points in a row, and the European team ended the first half with a 12-point lead at 45-33.

In the first half, the Asian United team's shooting rate was extremely low, only 28%, but Lin Xuemin became a wonder soldier, hitting several three-point shots, and the Asian United team did not fall behind too much.

In the last game against USA United, Lithuanian center Kolimavis Hughes was the only player in the European United team with a positive plus/minus (i.e. when he was on the pitch, the team was ahead of the opponent). However, he was plagued by fouls last time out and didn't play much, and the coach realized it was a big problem. In other words, if he hadn't fouled too much in the last game, if he had played more minutes, the European team could still play against the American team, and his departure once made the European team unbalanced inside, missing a lot of rebounds and defense, leading to the final defeat.

But Colimavis Hughes had a good foul control today, and the European team could use the big man lineup more, while the Asian team's Zhuo Yifan committed two fouls early and his playing time was limited. In the fight for rebounds, the European United team did not fall behind and once controlled the interior line.

In the first half, the European team scored in double figures, Yurisic had 11 points, Samaris had 10 points, and Lucas had 12 points and five rebounds.

The European team's three-point advantage was not fully realized, shooting just 4-of-13 compared to 6-of-12 for Asia.

In the Asian team, Li Xin had 9 points and 6 assists, Lin Xuemin had 8 points, and Kim Junzhe had 7 points. And poor Zhuo Yifan was plagued by fouls, did not score a point in the first half, and only grabbed 2 rebounds. At this time, I was depressed on the bench.

"Damn! In the second half, I must let you see the true strength of my Zhuo Dashuai! "Zhuo held his stomach on the bench, will it explode in the second half? (To be continued.) )
