Lucas stepped forward and patted Richie's arm and said, "Don't take it personally, just take the advantage back in the fourth quarter." ”

Rich looked at Lucas, who continued: "In the third quarter, we had too many unnecessary fouls and turnovers to give the opponent a chance, and we still had the advantage in terms of strength. Wait a little longer for me and Urisic, and we'll use mid-range shots to improve our offensive shooting percentage and quickly get back to the score. At the same time, pay attention to the control of the rebound, pay attention to your fouls, and don't shoot easily. ”

"Okay, no problem!" Rich nodded in agreement with Lucas's tactical advice, picked up the towel again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and went to the bench to ask for a drink.

Re-entered the court, and sure enough, according to the tactical arrangement arranged by Lucas, Rich first blocked Silva's defense for Urisic, and Yurisic took advantage of the fleeting opportunity to shoot with a very fast shooting speed and hit two points. As soon as he made the shot, Silva had already circled back and stood upright in front of Jurisic, with one hand already extended, almost touching him, but it was only stopped in time that there was no foul.

Clement and Romero missed two consecutive misses, but Europa seized the opportunity, starting with Samaris's three-point shot from the outside. Then Lucas and Rich's mid-range shots after dismantling, missed, Richie fanned out the rebound to the outside and was again taken by Uurisic, and the unguarded three-point shot on the left side hit again.

After Yurisic hit, he and Samaris both jumped up and pretended to be chest to chest, their mouths open wide and chanting, venting their happy emotions after the overtake.

The pair of excellent backcourt for the European United scored another six points for the European United, who started the fourth quarter with an 8-0 run and took another four points at 68-64.

Romero served to the baseline, his eyes slanted at the two, obviously very dissatisfied with the defense of these two balls, and his eyes were full of unconvincing.

The game then went into a period of staggering, with the scores of the two teams alternating on the scoreboard, while Europa United maintained a 4-8 point lead.

Europa United's backcourt pass was wrong, Mills got the ball, quickly broke through to the front, and used strong upper body strength to resist Samaris's defense and hit the inside again, a trick that has been tried and tested again today. As soon as he jumped inside, he was caught by two interior players, and Mills immediately split the ball outside the three-point line on the right, and Silva received the ball. But the Brazilian Knife's previous performance had clearly attracted enough attention from the European team, and Jurisic immediately posted it. Silva then passed the ball to Romero next to him, and finally formed an open space, opening his hand to shoot a three-pointer into the net. With 4:34 left on the clock, the score was tied at 79-83.

At the critical moment, Samaris received the ball and made a strong layup, but was blocked by Romero jumping high, Samaris also threw the ball very high, which has exceeded the top edge of the rebound a lot, Romero hit, the ball fell from about 4.5 meters, and it actually hollowed into the net. Given a chance to add a free throw, Samaris stepped to the free-throw line and scored three points with a free throw, giving Europa United a six-point advantage.

79-86

With 1:36 left in the game, Samaris managed to win the ball in a chaotic battle for rebounds in the backcourt, advanced to the front court, and used skillful ball control techniques and direction change skills to skillfully dodge the opponent's pinching and pressing, and wanted to break the ball directly from him. There were very few in Samaris's memory.

The European continent is the second largest basketball continent in the world after the United States, and there are many excellent players, especially white players with solid basic skills and excellent skills. And the Samaris in front of him is such an excellent playmaker with good basic skills and excellent skills. Compared with some excellent guards in the United States, although he is not Iverson of the 76ers in the NBA back then, and now Irving of the Cavaliers has an excellent continuous sudden change of direction, and often shakes the opponent to the point of losing his center of gravity or falling to the ground, but he still has a strong ability to resist interference, and a good passing ability, coupled with outstanding mid-to-long-range shooting ability, he has become an excellent playmaker who makes the opponent quite difficult.

The World United's continued pressure on Samaris was unsuccessful, and in order to stop the clock, the World Wing had no choice but to foul Samaris.

And it was Romero who received this foul, this was his fifth foul in the game, and he graduated with 10 points and 5 fouls (FIBA rules of the game, a player can only foul a maximum of 5 fouls in a game, and if he reaches 5 fouls, he must leave the court and must not play again). ）

Romero came to the bench and sat down, picked up a towel in his hand, rubbed it thoughtfully, and suddenly slammed it on the ground, resting his head against his head without saying a word. Teammate Lennir stepped forward and patted him on the arm, saying something like words of encouragement and comfort, and then touched the back of his head with his big hand. Obviously he was very unhappy with his performance today and looked unusually frustrated.

Samaris took the referee's serve and walked to the free throw line to make two free throws.

Li Xin looked at Samaris on the court, and suddenly remembered the Spanish golden boy Ricky, the leading guard of the Timberwolves in the NBA? Rubio, in front of him, is like a little Rubio: he has fast and fluid ball skills, can push or slow down the pace of the game as he wishes, can put pressure on the opposing player, and quickly find open teammates; Full of defensive potential, 187cm tall is tall in the high school point guard world, can occupy a certain advantage when facing opponents, and has fast speed, and has excellent steal prediction.

Li Xin was thinking about it, and Samaris successfully stole Mills' ball again, made a fast-break layup alone, and scored two more points. With 1:02 left in the game, Europa Unite took an 8-point advantage at 87:79.

But the suspense of the game did not end there, Silva received the sideline ball from his teammates, held the ball in both hands at the top of the three-point arc, and after two swings left and right, his extra-long arm allowed him to temporarily block the defender, break through the inside line from the left side, jump high, and continue to open the opponent's block with his right hand, and the ball rose higher and higher with his left hand, until the forearm suddenly bent his elbow when he exceeded the basket, and dunked the ball to the basket heavily. "Bang~!" A dull and powerful sound announced that the World United had not given up lightly.

As soon as the European team served, the world team immediately fouled and stopped time.

Jurisic made a solid two-point free throw as the World United's plan didn't work out.

Mills controlled the ball, rushed all the way to the three-point line, and then crossed the middle to the inserted Silva, more than a meter away from the three-point line, Silva stood in front of the defender is the starting three-pointer, the defensive Lucas did not brake the car, violated Silva's body, and slapped Silva's face with one hand, although the ball did not score, but Silva got three valuable free throws.

Just as the World United were rejoicing at the hard-won three-penalty opportunity, they found Silva lying on the ground and not getting up. Mills and Raisa stepped forward to take a look at Silva, who covered his eyes with his hands and looked pained.

"Can you still fight?" There is a big question mark in the hearts of all the world teams.

Silva motioned for him to lie down for a while, and after about a minute, he slowly got up.

Brazil's teammate Raisa asked: "How's it going, did you hit the eye?" Does it matter? ”

Silva waved his hand, but didn't say anything, and after another 10 seconds, he lowered his hand and opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him was full of blurry superimposed shadows, and it seemed that his vision had been affected somewhat.

"Can you continue to fight?" The referee also came up to ask.

Of course, Silva knows the rules of basketball in his heart, if he goes off the court at this time and lets his teammates on the bench make free throws, then he will not be able to play again in the following games, Romero has already gone off the court, this critical moment is when the team needs him the most, and he can't go off the court so easily.

"OK, I can!" Silva made an OK gesture and stepped onto the free-throw line.

If you can't tell the distance with your eyes, you can just close your eyes and take a free throw. After glancing at the position of the basket, Silva adjusted his body, dribbled the ball, and threw the free throw in a standard position.

"Free throws with your eyes closed?! That's fine, too! Isn't it nonsense? It's better to let your teammates take penalties and at least grab three points! Zhuo Yifan was puzzled by Silva's performance off the field.

The ball crosses a wonderful arc in the air and then hollows into the net.

Zhuo's mouth opened wide like a big apple, and his eyes widened like a light bulb, like a cartoon octopus. Express your surprise!

That's the projection ability of a good shooter, not just by sight, but by feeling the basket.

Silva concocted the second and third goals.

One person scored 5 points in a row, 89:82.

The World United immediately called a timeout to give Silva a moment to recover. After a little over a minute, Silva finally regained some of his eyesight and could see his surroundings more clearly, and he was back on the pitch.

Europa United's possession of the ball Samaris advanced with the ball, and immediately surrounded by three players, and just past halftime, the ball was finally poked by center Alexis who came out behind him, which became one of the few records in his basketball career to be tackled on the dribble on the move. It was only when the three men were in the middle of the pack that it was possible to distract Samaris and steal the ball from him.

The ball is got by Mills. The single left-handed dribble broke through the impact basket, suddenly stopped and jumped up at the position of one step in the free throw line, and at the same time switched the ball to the right hand to throw, causing the opponent to foul, two plus one scored!

Mills was thoughtful at the free throw line, didn't make a free throw immediately, pondered for about 1 second, and then shot, but this short 1 second is not noticed by ordinary people. His contemplative thoughts were: deliberately make short shots and rush to grab rebounds himself.

The rebound was actually grabbed by him and passed to Silva on the outside.

Silva opened his hand and hit again.

At 89:87, the World United scored five points on an offense.

With 40.7 seconds left in the game, the World United was only two points behind. (To be continued.) )
