Chapter 153 World Youth Championships Final (3)

The sound of shoes rubbing against the floor kept sounding in the stadium, and this game was the last game of the World Youth Championships, and the players on both sides had nothing to scruple about, and they were all full of strength to fight hand-to-hand on the field.

In particular, the players of the Chinese national youth team, because they do have a certain gap compared with the elite of the NCAA in the United States in terms of personal ability, can only be made up for through strong fighting spirit and tenacious spirit.

Hardaway, the U.S. youth team point guard, holds the ball near the free throw line.

At this time, Guo Allen seized an opportunity, slammed his shoulders and reached out to steal.

Guo Allen's timing was no problem, but Hardaway reacted quickly, flipped his palm, buckled the ball in his hand, and moved his body sideways to protect the basketball.

With the sound of "Peng", the bodies of the two collided violently, but Hardaway used the impact force to wipe Guo Allen's flank, and in an instant, Hardaway turned his back and passed directly past Guo Allen's defense.

Hardaway's breakthrough instantly tore apart the Chinese youth team's defense.

Under the basket, the U.S. youth team formed a 3-on-2 situation, and through continuous small cooperation, the center Meyers Leonard wiped the board and shot.

In the second quarter of the game, the American youth team took the lead and scored first.

Although the score was behind, the U.S. youth team continued to exert tremendous pressure on the Chinese youth team.

Allen Guo controlled the ball and advanced to the top of the three-point arc and observed the situation on the court.

The American youth team's Jeremy Lamb stuck to the tall and strong without the ball, and Hardaway also stood on the passing line between Guo Allen and Gao Dazhuang, intentionally or unintentionally.

"It seems that the U.S. youth team has strengthened its defense against tall and strong," Guo Allen subconsciously looked at the rest area of his own side under the court.

I saw Coach Wang Huaiyu of the national youth team wave his hand and signaled him to attack by himself.

Guo Allen, who made up his mind "well", forcibly rushed to the inside line by Hardaway after a false shake.

At this time, Gao Dazhuang just retreated and played a blocking and dismantling cooperation with Guo Allen, and Guo Allen, who temporarily got rid of the defense, used this gap to pass the ball to Wang Zhelin under the basket.

Wang Zhelin leaned his back against the opposing center, Meyers Leonard, and with the help of the impact force, he stepped back and then turned and hooked his hand.

"When" Wang Zhelin's back turned around and smashed his hook hand on the front of the basket and bounced out.

However, with a "snap", the tall and strong man slashed in from the wing and grabbed the offensive rebound before the American youth team power forward Kaye Marshall.

"Xiaochuan" didn't wait to land, and the tall and strong shouted in the air and passed the ball to Zhai Xiaochuan in the vacant position.

"Good" Zhai Xiaochuan received the ball and threw it, and with a "dang" sound, the ball still didn't go in.

U.S. youth power forward Kaye Marshall and center Meyers Leonard jumped up at the same time to grab the backcourt rebound.

With a loud "pop", Gao Dazhuang hit the basket again, and jumped high, flew sideways and grabbed the basketball before Leonard of the American youth team took off the basketball, picked up the basketball with heavy arms and hit it.

The basketball that was knocked away happened to fall into the hands of Guo Allen near the three-point line, Guo Allen took a step back after receiving the ball, glanced at the basket, and made a decisive shot after a slight adjustment.

The ball crossed a beautiful arc in the air and hit the nets with a "brush".

"Good shot, Gao Dazhuang helped Guo Allen hit three points after two consecutive frontcourt rebounds," CCTV commentator Yang Yi exclaimed.

"This ball is completely tall and strong, excellent bounce and positive attitude, amazing," Su Qun on the side also commented.

"Oh" The fans of the national youth team at the scene also gave warm applause, and the five-star red flag also kept flying in the stadium.

At 30:26, with Guo Allen's three-point shot, the Chinese youth team continued to maintain a slight advantage.

Hardaway of the "GOGOGO" U.S. youth team commanded his teammates to settle down, and then suddenly activated, and his strong explosive power and continuous cross-steps instantly broke through Guo Allen's defense.

After breaking through, Hardaway hit the basket directly, and in the face of Wang Zhelin who was making up for the defense, Hardaway still forced himself to jump to the basket, but when Hardaway was at the highest point, he retracted the ball violently and glanced at Leonard, the center of the American youth team behind Wang Zhelin.

"Oops, passing?" Wang Zhelin, who was already in the air, immediately waved his hands to interfere with Hardaway's passing route.

But at this time, Hardaway sacrificed the basketball he had recovered again, a beautiful air lever, and went to the basket according to Wang Zhelin.

With a "brush", the ball fell steadily into the nets, and the U.S. youth team quickly recovered a goal.

The U.S. youth team still tightly bites the Chinese youth team in the score, giving the Chinese youth team a feeling like a stab in the throat.

"Snap" the ball passed to the hands of Gao Dazhuang, and after receiving the ball, Gao Dazhuang took a step forward, and suddenly faced the defensive Lamb and jumped up and shot directly.

"What?" Since the Chinese team has been pressing the rhythm of the game since the start of the game, and Gao Dazhuang is more focused on organization and strategy, Lamb did not expect that Gao Dazhuang would suddenly have a cold arrow in the middle distance.

The crisp sound of "brushing" the basketball through the net represents a tall and strong shot.

After the goal, the tall and strong face slowly retreated to his own half with an expressionless face.

"Calm, tall and strong, this ball reflects his good insight, catch the opponent's poor marking, and immediately counterattack the opponent," CCTV commentator Yang Yi praised.

In the next round, the center of the U.S. youth team, Meyers Leonard, attacked the basket, but was interfered with by Zhai Xiaochuan who rushed from the side.

The ball bounced out of the basket, Wang Zhelin accepted the defensive rebound, and passed the ball to Gao Dazhuang after completely protecting the basket.

Gao Dazhuang advanced with the ball, and the ball of the Chinese youth team in this game was more in the hands of Gao Dazhuang.

At the moment when he stepped into the opponent's three-point line, the tall and strong slammed the ball from his crotch to the other side, and he was about to break through from Lamb's flank with a sinking shoulder.

But just as Lamb took a step with his right foot to try to block his breakthrough route, the ball in the tall and strong hand returned from his crotch to the other side and changed direction.

In the blink of an eye, the tall and strong flashed Lamb with a beautiful change of direction in an instant, rushed straight to the basket from the middle, and separated the ball after attracting the opponent's basket to the basket, helping Zhai Xiaochuan, who cut in, to make an easy layup.

34:28

The Chinese team is playing more and more smoothly, the players' self-confidence has also been played, and the defense has become more active and tough.

Zhai Xiaochuan under the "" basket roared, followed by the impact of "Peng".

U.S. youth team power forward Kaye Marshall met Zhai Xiaochuan's stubborn resistance under the basket.

"When" under Zhai Xiaochuan's tough defense, the American youth team big forward Kaye Marshall missed the attack.

Tall and strong grabbed the defensive rebound, "counterattacked" Tall and strong exhaled, and quickly galloped forward with the ball several times.

U.S. youth team small forward Doug McDermott moved sideways from the side to block the tall and strong advance, and the tall and strong smashed the ball, a sudden stop followed by a sideways change of direction, and instantly flashed Mike Dermott's block.

However, Gao Dazhuang was still entangled by Tim Hardaway and Jermie Lamb of the American youth team on the way forward, but even so, Gao Dazhuang still protected the basketball and forcibly snuggled the two to rush to the basket.

"Pop" The moment he stepped into the paint area, the tall and strong head didn't return and threw the ball to the side and back.

Xing Zhiqiang, the small forward of the Chinese youth team, happened to appear in the direction of the pass, and Xing Zhiqiang, who was outside the three-point line, did not hesitate to take the ball and shoot.

With a "brush", Xing Zhiqiang's three points accurately passed through the Nets.

35:28

"Wow" The fans at the scene burst into an exclamation, halfway through the second quarter of the game, the American youth team not only did not narrow the point difference, but further expanded the point difference.

The substitute players of the "good ball" Chinese youth team also cheered in the rest area, echoing the players on the field, but the main players on the field were much calmer.

The U.S. youth team was a little anxious, and Hardaway rushed to the basket with the ball in his head.

"Ah" Allen Guo groaned, and suddenly his whole body fell backwards and fell heavily on the floor, while Hardaway didn't even look at it, and it was a layup when he hit the basket.

"Toot", but at this time the whistle sounded in time, and the referee pointed to Hardaway and said "offensive foul".

In the attack and defense just now, Guo Allen tried his best to prevent and interfere with Hardaway's breakthrough, and the red-eyed Hardaway raised his elbow, and his elbow hit Guo Allen's face hard.

"Are you okay?" asked Gao Dazhuang who rushed to Guo Allen's side with concern.

"It's okay, we blocked them again," Allen Guo said with a smile as he touched his red and swollen chin.

"Haha, okay, let's get them off the throne together" The tall man pulled Guo Allen up from the ground.

"Good," the other youth players shouted together.

In the next game, the defensive intensity of both sides was further strengthened, and the referee's whistle sounded frequently.

It's just that in the first half, the high-intensity offensive and defensive intensity made many players on both sides sweat and pant constantly.

"Pop" Guo Allen passed the ball to the tall and strong man who came out to catch the ball.

"Squeak" as the shoe rubbed against the floor with a screeching sound, and the tall and strong man after receiving the ball immediately made a sharp stop, his center of gravity sank, and broke through the flank of the chasing Lamb.

"Drink," Lamb roared, quickly stepping back in an attempt to block the tall and strong.

But at this time, Gao Dazhuang stopped sharply again, and also took a step back, widened the distance from Lamb, and made a decisive jump.

The tall and strong body leaned back slightly, and the wrist gently flicked the ball, and the ball shot softly out of his hand.

At this time, Lamb was too late to react, and could only stare intently at the basketball flying in the air.

The "brush" of the basketball still accurately passed through the net, and the tall and strong won the last point of the first half between the two sides.

48:37
