Chapter 152: Competing with South Korea for the Championship

South Korea, the Chinese men's basketball team dominates the old rivals in Asia, in the confrontation at the national team level, the Chinese team has an absolute advantage with a winning rate of more than 80%, but the last time the Chinese men's basketball team lost to South Korea in the continental level of the game, it was the 2002 Busan Asian Games held in South Korea, this game The Chinese team was still 7 points ahead of the opponent in the last 40 seconds, but in the overwhelming cheers of the Korean fans, the players of the South Korean team miraculously equalized the score, and defeated the Chinese team in overtime!

Before the game, Zhang Hong, the head coach of the Chinese youth team, told the history in front of all the players, turned around and said loudly: "Therefore, what I ask is that in the home stadium of the South Korean team, there must be no relaxation, this game, we must establish a leading edge early, and we must not be entangled by the opponent to the end of the game, do you understand?" ”

"Got it!" After experiencing the test of Iran and Japan, the Chinese boys who are full of confidence in their team replied in unison, their tones full of confidence and pride!

Yes, there has never been a Chinese team that dares to say the words of establishing an early lead before playing against the South Korean team. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 If this statement is not overly arrogant, then it shows how strong this team is, at least in front of the opponents it is facing.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team continued to use the usual starters before, and did not replace Liaoyuan with Liu Peng like in the previous game. South Korea continued their starting line-up at the Asian Youth Championships.

The starting line-up of the Chinese youth team:

Center: Rui Zhiwei, 2.13m; Power forward: Xu Zhibin, 2.05m; Small forward: Ye Hai, 1.95m; Shooting guard: Liaoyuan, 1.88m; Defender: Cha Yicheng, 1.90m.

South Korea's starting line-up at the youth level:

Center: Kim Jun-il, 2.07m; Power forward: Lee Seung-hyun, 2.02m; Zheng Xiaogen, 1.98 meters; Shooting guard: Xu Xiong, 1.92m; Defender: Choi Yongjin, 1.85m.

As the referee tosses the ball, the game begins!

No surprise, Rui Zhiwei used his height and arm span to win the ball for the Chinese team first!

As soon as Cha Yicheng dribbled to the half court of the South Korean team, Choi Yongjin of the Korean team immediately posted it, and Xu Xiong, the scoring guard of the Korean team, also stared at Cha Yicheng who was dribbling.

It seems that in the last game against Japan, Cha Yicheng's explosive scoring in the opening stage impressed the South Korean team.

However, the South Korean team's estimation was wrong, and this time the main player of the Chinese team in the opening stage was precisely the Chinese scoring guard Liaoyuan who they had overlooked!

Liaoyuan, who was assigned to play as a substitute in the last game, showed a very strong desire in the first attack of this game, and quickly broke through Xu Xiong, who defended himself, after receiving a pass from Che Yicheng, and scored two points for the Chinese team with a skillful throwing shot. 2-0

The South Korean team just passed the ball and found that the Chinese team had actually begun to press the whole court!

"How could it be, start the full-court pressing tactics so early?" Yu Jian in the live broadcast room said with some surprise.

"The Chinese team has adopted pressing tactics like this, and it seems that they want to fight with the South Korean team quickly!" Since it was the first time to participate in the commentary in the live broadcast room, Zhou Peng said cautiously.

"I also think that the Chinese team has been prepared for a long time! The Chinese team has a very clear advantage over South Korea, but the last time a Chinese team lost to South Korea, it was also in a basketball tournament held in South Korea. I think everyone also knows that game that was ashamed of the Chinese basketball community, so I won't say more. Obviously, the Chinese team wants to avoid such a situation, after all, the home atmosphere of the South Korean team is very warm! Director Yang continued.

In the past, the Chinese team was repeatedly embarrassed when the opponent used this tactic, but now this Chinese team is different from before, not only has it practiced the method of cracking the full-court pressing, but at the same time, it has also practiced the big killer move of the full-court pressing.

Many people don't know that Zhang Hong's ambition is far more than just dominating Asia! Of course, cracking the full-court pressing and using the full-court pressing is also closely related to the defenders who have outstanding individual abilities in this national youth team.

Although the Chinese team used the tactics of pressing all over the court from the beginning, the South Korean players, who had one of the best physical strength in Asia at the beginning of the game, were still evenly matched with the Chinese team on the field despite the strong cheers of the home fans.

Choi Yongjin, the shortest in the game, used the method of lowering the center of gravity and dribbling quickly to break through the half court of the Chinese team, and handed it over to South Korean power forward Lee Seung-hyun for the first time!

"Ah~~~Seunghyun~~~~" is the top pick in the KBL draft, coupled with the title of MVP of the All England High School League in the United Kingdom, and a handsome face rarely seen in the Korean team, Lee Seung-hyun got the cheers of many girls as soon as he received the ball!

"How is he?" When he saw the faces of the Korean players who received the ball, Yan Zihan, who was watching the game on the sidelines, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and thousands of emotions immediately came to his heart, and those memories that had been sealed by himself instantly appeared in his mind one by one...

Lee Seung-hyun knew the strength and advantages of his opponent's 'wolf king' Xu Zhibin before the game, so he did not use brute force to fight hard with the opponent after receiving the ball, but used the advantage of being more flexible immediately to complete the shooting action in the move, and a shot in the lateral movement easily added 2 points to the Korean team! 2-2

The live crowd in South Korea immediately boiled after the goal, "Republic of Korea! Republic of Korea! The slogan rose and fell in the stadium, as if a victory had been won!

Although the number of fans of the South Korean team is about the same as that of the Chinese team, but under the neat slogan, the momentum is also stronger, and the scattered cheering sound of the Chinese team is instantly covered!

The South Korean team may be afraid of the Chinese team's full-court pressing tactics and is afraid of being physically dragged down by the Chinese team like the Japanese team, so they only adopt the tactics of marking people at half court.

In front of Cha Yicheng, there are still two players waiting to see. Cha Yicheng saw that two people in the South Korean team were always focused on him, and immediately stretched out his finger and made a tactical gesture.

Zhang Hong, who was standing on the sidelines watching the game, nodded slightly when he saw this.

The Chinese team's Che Yicheng changed the last personal onslaught against the Japanese team in the opening stage, but commanded his teammates to run and play tactics, respectively, sent 3 assists in a row, Rui Zhiwei, Xu Zhibin, Ye Hai have become Che Yicheng's beneficiaries, the first 8 points scored by the Chinese team are all from Che Yicheng's assists!

"Cha Yicheng's style of play today is a little different, he mainly controls the offensive rhythm in the opening stage, and frequently assists his teammates to score, instead of starting the individual scoring mode as soon as he came up like in the last game against Japan." Yu Jian saw that Che Yicheng had a different style of play at the beginning of the first quarter, and immediately said.

"This is actually normal in professional basketball." Zhou Peng took over the topic and continued, "In the professional league, every team will study the opponent's recent games, especially the previous game, tactics, personnel, etc., so the South Korean team strictly guarded Cha Yicheng at the beginning of the game, just because he was afraid that Cha Yicheng would score consecutive points in the opening game like the Japanese team. At the same time, Cha Yicheng is a player with a lot of experience, through one or two observations in the opening game, he noticed the opponent's opening tactics, so he immediately turned his personal attack into an assist for his teammates to score, which well avoided the targeted defense of the South Korean team, and at the same time opened up the offensive situation for the Chinese team. ”

Under the command and dispatch of Che Yicheng in the opening stage, the Chinese team took a narrow lead of 8-5 at the beginning, and the four goals of the Chinese team were shot by four players except for Che Yicheng, and Che Yicheng sent four assists in a row.

The 5 points scored by the South Korean team completely relied on the individual attack with Lee Seung-hyun, and one of the attacks also caused a foul by Xu Zhibin, which became a 2+1!

Seeing Lee Seung-hyun take the lead, Kim Jun-il and Jung Hyo-geun, who are also professional players in the KBL, are not far behind.

If the sharpest guard line of the Japanese team is the leading guard line of Eiji Zebei, then the most capable of the South Korean team is the forward group with Lee Seung-hyun as the core! (To be continued.) )
