"Hahahaha!" Zhuo Yifan, who succeeded in slamming the dunk, laughed wildly after dropping the basket.

"Idiot! What are you giggling at? It's not over yet! Li Xin scolded angrily, while defending Cole, and Avralo, who was unguarded on the bottom line, successfully sent the ball to Cole.

There are only 4 seconds left for the opponent.

By the time Zhuo came to his senses, Cole had already dribbled to the vicinity of the midfield, flicked his big arm, and shot from a long distance, and the ball flew half the court.

Zhuo Yifan stared at the ball with wide eyes and thought: Looking at this situation, it is very likely to enter.

Hurriedly clasped his hands and prayed, "Don't enter!" Don't enter! Don't enter! ”

But the ball actually went straight into the net, hollow into the net.

"Ahh Zhuo's eyes widened like light bulbs, and his lips protruded, dumbfounded.

However, after deliberation, the referee decided that the ball was played after the time was up, so it was not counted.

Zhuo Yifan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief in fear: "It's okay, it's okay!" Scared the baby to death! ”

"You're in luck! Let you be smug again! Li Xin came up and kicked Zhuo angrily.

At the end of the second quarter, at 41:33, the Asian team successfully narrowed the score gap to single digits. Lin Xuemin, Xia Hongsen's consecutive three points at the last moment contributed a lot.

At halftime, in the lounge, Coach Wesley praised the Asian United's performance in the first half:

"You did a great job in the first half and showed that basketball is a whole sport, especially in the second quarter. With 19 points behind in the first quarter, he was unhurried, calm, did not give up, and chased the score little by little. You must know that your opponent, the United States, is very strong, but you dare to fight, using your brains and not just your body to deal with your opponents. Basketball is a group sport with high physical confrontation, but it is also a high-IQ sport. ”

Wesley glanced at Li Xin and continued:

"Especially Li Xin, when he was being targeted by the opponent, skillfully used skills and tactics and commanded his teammates' off-ball running, tore apart the defensive gaps of the United States team, and constantly assisted his teammates to complete the score."

Li Xin smiled with satisfaction, the coach's encouragement was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for him.

Wesley looked at Zhuo Yifan again and said: "Zhuo's performance is also very good, facing the defense of Avralo, who is 10cm taller than him and is known as the 'No. 1 striker in the American high school world', he has both soft and hard, and has scored a lot of points. On the defensive end, he protected his own rebounds with Jalaari, and went around the front defense and tried to mark at the right time, which also made Avraro not take a big advantage. He didn't have many chances in the first half. The limitations are good. ”

Zhuo was also happy: "Hahaha! He laughed again.

"If you want to take advantage of my 'Zhuo Daxia', it's not that simple!" Zhuo Yi was happy and began to speak freely.

Li Xin showed a crying and laughing expression and thought: "If you say that you are fat, you will breathe, and your playing level has improved a lot, how can this 'nerveless' character not change at all!" ”

In addition, Lin Xuemin and Xia Hongsen's perimeter shots are also good, and they can seize the opportunity after it comes out. It took a couple of key shots to narrow the score. In the second half, I hope you will continue to work hard. ”

Lin and Xia both nodded.

"After talking about the advantages, talking about the shortcomings. The U.S. team will certainly come back wildly in the second half, and in the third quarter they will do everything they can to stretch the score, which is the toughest stage. I expect them to use McKins and Avraro as a breakthrough to take turns attacking the interior. Therefore, in the second half of the game, there will be a lot of pressure on the interior defense, Zhuo Yifan and Jalali will defend well, and Lin Xuemin will also assist them, and they will be sandwiched when they have the opportunity. Pay attention to the periphery, too, but it should not start with the outside line as the main means of scoring. In addition, the rebounds are a bit too much. ”

Wesley took a technical stat and looked at it and said: "The rebounding ratio in the first half was 24:17, and the opponent had seven more rebounds than us, especially the frontcourt rebounds, which allowed Avraro to rush and grab several of them. This aspect should be strengthened! ”

"For their possible actions, so the opening starters of the second half were: Jalali, Zhuo Yifan, Lin Xuemin, Sato, Li Xin."

"Good!" The five shouted in unison.

"In the second half, come on! Guys! Wesley clapped his hands hard and cheered on the players!

At the beginning of the second half, the United States did replace McKins again, but the center position did not change, and the starting five were:

Jones, Avralo, McKins, Cole, Allen.

"Guys, your performance is limited to the third quarter, and I will completely defeat you in the third quarter!" McKins spent the entire second half of the second quarter on the bench, holding back a breath of energy, clearly haunted by the end of the second quarter.

The Asian United team took the lead in serving, but Zhuo Yifan received the ball unsteadily, was poked off by McKins, and the ball was tackled and counterattacked after being picked up by Cole.

Avralo's strong attack caused a foul on Zhuo Yifan, and the United United stood at the free throw line for the first time in the second half.

Two free throws and two hits, the first to break the deadlock.

43:33

Center Jalali came to the periphery and Li Xin made a response, Li Xin was outside the three-point line in the middle, and made a three-point stop, but he didn't hit. With such a difficult shot, Li Xin's shooting rate is not very high.

Allen easily got the rebound, although Li Xin assisted as many as 8 times in the first half, but his personal score was not much, only 4 points were scored.

Allen singled Li Xin, continuously and quickly crossed the crotch to change hands and dribble, and suddenly started to break through to the bottom line from the right side, and the defender just blocked the position, Allen dribbled quickly, and a small jump retreated slightly, pulling out a certain gap. The whole passing action was extremely fast and had a change in rhythm, which made Li Xin's defense ineffective in an instant.

Then came the jumper with a slight drop back.

"This is going to happen?" Li Xin didn't expect Allen's change of direction to start so quickly, and he shot such a difficult step-back jumper after such a difficult crossover close to the three-point line.

The ball arcs high and hollows into the net.

"Such a difficult shot, actually hollowed in?"

Yes, that's right, everyone can shoot normally, and being able to shoot under the pressure of higher difficulty is the embodiment of real strength. Li Xin's three-point miss before, this time Allen's long-distance back-to-back hit, this round of competition, Allen beat Li Xin.

45:33

Just now, Jalaari and Li Xin's strategy and cover had a certain effect, and this time Jalali wanted to do the same. Who knew that the opponent had expected it, and he ran to defend Li Xin, and Jalali couldn't keep up with the opponent, so he only took a shot, was judged to be a foul, and lost the ball again.

Aaron and Avraro made a block in the movement, Arun came to the right side of the inside, not only attracted the defense of Li Xin and Lin Xuemin, but also evacuated the middle. Allen's right hand struck the ball diagonally behind him, and the ball bypassed the defender and was comfortably delivered to Avralo.

Avralo steals Jalaari, only to see him leap high, block Jalaari's defense with one hand, hold the basketball high with the other, and make a high-arc throw at the highest point, the ball in the air bypassed the tall center's jump block hand and went straight to the rebound.

The ball bounced off the board and into the basket, and Allen cleverly assisted Avraro to add two more points.

47:33

Li Xin has become the target of Aaron's breakthrough again.

"Damn!" Once scored directly in front of the opponent, and once by the opponent assisting a teammate to score. Losing points twice in a row made Li Xin become meritorious. Immediately attacking the opponent's inside line, the tall player could only survive under the pinch, and passed the ball back to the center forward Jalali in the middle. The center was a little sluggish, and as soon as he remembered to shoot the jumper, the ball was cut away by the opponent in his hand.

McKins had already held back his strength when he got the ball, and he hit the basket one by one, but Zhuo Yifan's defense did not give an inch. There was no better chance, McKins passed the ball to Avraro on the outside on the right side in the air, Afraro crossed the middle again, handed it to Kerr to break through, dribbled twice to the inside, jumped and raised his hand, and encountered Lin Xuemin violating his cylinder space, so he threw the ball out, causing a shooting foul.

It was the 11th mistake of the game for the Asian team, and the United team has already taken advantage of the Asian team's mistakes to score 21 points.

Kerr stepped to the free-throw line and made one of two free throws.

48:33。

The U.S. United played another wave of 7-0 in the second half, once again widening the gap to 15 points.

Li Xin, Lin Xuemin, and Zhuo Yifan continued to pass the ball to each other, got the ball back again, and made a block with Jalaary. Sent the ball to Sato, who ran back from the inside line on the right.

Sato's first three-point shot from the outside, there was no one in front of him to defend, and the standard shooting posture. The right feel, the right direction, as soon as Sato made a shot, he knew that the ball would go in.

Sure enough, with a "poof", the ball spun at high speed and drilled into the net.

The first score of the second half for Asian United.

48:36

Allen broke through with the ball again, and although McKins was on the field, he was no longer involved in organizing the attack as a 'playmaker'. And Allen took full charge of the organizational tasks, and such a flexible deployment made the Asian team take care of one thing and lose the other.

Under Li Xin's tight defense, Allen first retreated with a small jump to get the gap, and then with the help of Avraro's blocking, he quickly accelerated and broke through Li Xin's left side in one fell swoop. Hit the basket again, but the three-man defense made Allen change hands and barely make a layup, the ball turned a few times in the basket and fell, and Allen also fell to the ground without scoring. The rebound was once again picked up by center Jones, who reorganized a 24-second offensive opportunity.

The ball was handed to McKins, who squandered into the interior again, but the sole of his foot slipped inadvertently, and he stumbled and almost lost the ball, only to pass it back to Kerr.

Lin Xuemin singled with the ball, and continuously dribbled left and right in disguise into the three-point line, although Lin Xuemin withstood Kerr's right side. Kerr suddenly turned around, came to the completely vacated left side, and coherently followed a step-back jumper, although Lin Xuemin tried hard to force the jump block again, but still left too much space, Kerr hollow hit this step-back jumper.

It's also a difficult shot.

If it is difficult, you can score in the face of defensive shots. That's the real strength!

50:36。

In the first three minutes of the third quarter, the U.S. team played a small 9-2 climax and once again threw the pressure on the Asian team. (To be continued.) )
