Chapter 185: The Final Battle: The Final with the United States (5)
The players who stayed on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter were Rui Zhiwei, Xu Zhibin, Ye Hai, Liu Hao and Che Yicheng, and it seems that the appearance of three-point shooter Liu Hao has shown that Zhang Hong put the decisive battle in the fourth quarter on the offensive firepower competition with the United States team!
"Jason, watch out for that shooting guard, his three-point range is long!" After finding out that Liu Hao was on the field, Marik Monk immediately reminded his captain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Got it!" Senjie Tatum also found out that the Chinese team replaced a three-point shooter in the fourth quarter, and immediately began to mark Liu Hao after halftime!
Wang Jingwei, who had been training with Liu Hao for a month before the World Youth Championships, looked at Liu Hao, who was constantly running and running on the court, and thought in his heart: "The super shooting that I practiced before the World Youth Championships can finally get a chance to show now, I hope he has greatly improved his shooting rate!" ”
When Che Yicheng saw that Liu Hao was being closely guarded by Jayson Tatum, his eyes moved to the direction of Ye Hai and Rui Zhiwei, but he heard that Liu Hao used Xu Zhibin's cover to temporarily get rid of Tatum's defense and get a chance to get a gap.
"Old car!" Liu Hao shouted loudly to Cha Yicheng at the moment when the opportunity appeared.
This is the first time Liu Hao has taken the initiative to ask for a ball from himself on the field! In this case, there is no reason why Cha Yicheng should not pass to the scoring guard who has already run out of the way!
However, Tatum's defensive speed is very amazing, just when Liu Hao just received Che Yicheng's pass, Tatum had bypassed Xu Zhibin's block again and came to Liu Hao.
"What are you going to do with the ball? Could it be that during the one-month free practice period, you learned to break through? Che Yicheng looked at Liu Hao, who was pressed by Tatum, according to his previous characteristics, under this kind of tight defense, Liu Hao had no way to force the score!
However, under the strict close defense of the opponent, Liu Hao actually forced a shot with almost no shooting space and vision, although the ball was shot, but the shooting posture was completely different from Liu Hao's previous shooting action, and it seemed to have been completely deformed!
Under the basket, Rui Zhiwei, Xu Zhibin, Edris Adebayo and Harry Giles immediately competed for the position under the basket, ready to grab the rebound!
"Boom! Swish! Two crisp sounds, the basketball thrown by Liu Hao actually hit the white frame on the rebound and bounced into the basket!
"Ah!!h Everyone on the court looked at the basketball in surprise, and then looked at Liu Hao who breathed a sigh of relief with an incredible gaze.
67-74, Liu Hao's opening three points in the fourth quarter narrowed the gap in the score.
"This ball should just be a coincidence." Almost everyone thought so in their hearts, except for Wang Jingwei, who had been training with Liu Hao during the cultivation period.
"Looks like he's maxed out to a normal level!" Wang Jingwei thought excitedly.
The U.S. team was unaffected by this three-point shot that looked like some luck, and Jayson Tatum immediately returned the ball on the offensive end, and after Adebayo's block, he used a pull-up jump shot to add 2 points to the U.S. team! 67-76
"The physical strength of the U.S. team is still quite abundant, and this shooting action is still very standard, without the slightest deformation." Su Qiong, who was in the live broadcast room, said immediately after Tatum's goal.
Looking back, Liu Hao, who had just received a pass from Che Yicheng, once again made a shooting move!
"Impossible!" Jayson Tatum shrewdly sealed his hand to Liu Hao's eyes! "Then you won't be able to hit!"
The ball shot from Liu Hao's hand flew towards the basket with a violent spin, and the strength seemed to be a little stronger, "Boom! Swish! "Another three-point shot after hitting the board! 70-76
"What?" Even the U.S. substitutes stood up from the bench in surprise.
Liu Hao shook his left hand, and the corners of his mouth showed a satisfied smile like a winner.
"Well done!" "Awesome, mouse!" The players on the court of the Chinese team finally knew that Liu Hao's three-point goal was not accidental, but specially practiced!
The Chinese team scored two three-pointers in a row and quickly closed the score!
It turned out that before the World Youth Championships, Liu Hao had seriously thought about his development direction when improving his practice, whether to practice breaking through with the ball or going further in the three-point shot, after hesitating for 2 days, Liu Hao finally made up his mind to improve his three-point shooting skills again! Make this three-point weapon your own unique killer in the team!
But how to improve the three-point shot that has a high shooting rate, Liu Hao thought about how to deal with it if there is no way to shoot calmly under close defense, but he must shoot a three-point shot!
So after practicing and trying many times, Liu Hao finally mastered the skill of hitting the board for three points, because as long as the ball is accurately thrown into the white frame on the rebound, he can hit the ball on the board when he feels poor or cannot be fully prepared in the shooting posture!
In order to improve the shooting percentage in a short period of time, Liu Hao even tried to soak his left hand with a chemical potion that improves the sense of touch but will cause irritation to the opponent! This is also why when gathering before the World Youth Championships, Liu Hao's left hand will be wrapped in a thick bandage!
However, all these efforts have played a surprising effect at this critical moment!
Although Josh Jackson of the U.S. team immediately hit a 2-pointer, Liu Hao hit an unreasonable three-pointer again! The Chinese team also chased the score to 73-78!
However, this three-point strategy could not maintain such a high shooting percentage all the time, and after trying to hit a three-pointer again, this time the shot finally missed the basket under Jayson Tatum's all-out defense!
Immediately after Harry Giles's strong attack under the basket, Xu Zhibin's defensive foul was caused, and he hit 2 free throws and 2 hits, and the score became 73-80!
Xu Zhibin, the 'wolf king' who regained his fighting spirit, did not flinch, and immediately returned a ball to Giles on the offensive end, and made an amazing hook shot! Harry Giles, who originally wanted to block Xu Zhibin, was a little surprised! 75-80
"Xu Zhibin also has new offensive methods!" Mina was pleasantly surprised to see that the players of the Chinese team began to show more and more basketball skills beyond imagination!
Rui Zhiwei was not far behind, and after Liu Hao's three-point flame was extinguished, he took over the banner of the three-point shot, and took advantage of Adebayo's defense to shoot a three-pointer!
For more than half of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team narrowed the score gap to only 3 points with a strong desire to win the championship and a fighting spirit that would never admit defeat! 91-94!
But under the onslaught again in the fourth quarter, Rui Zhiwei, Xu Zhibin, and even Liu Hao's physical strength has begun to be overdrawn!
"It's time to take over the game!" Josh Jackson received a pass from Malik Monk, and with his back to Ye Hai with the ball, he turned around very quickly, shook off Ye Hai, who was already a little sluggish due to lack of physical fitness, and hit a layup! The score gap came to 5 points again, 91-96!
Seeing that Ye Hai scored after being broken through by Jackson's singles, Liu Qianqian, Xia Lan, Yan Zihan, Sun Bin, Liu Chen and others all silently recited Ye Hai's name in their hearts and prayed for a miracle! (To be continued.) )
