Chapter 147: Unexpected Lag Behind
"Da Zhuang" Guo Allen roared and made a hard pass to the ground, and the ball passed through the narrow gap between the two Latvian youth team players.
The ball was accurately passed to the tall and strong hands under the empty cut basket, and after receiving the ball, the tall and strong jumped sideways, dodged in the air, avoided the block of the opponent's center, and switched to the layup.
"Brush" tall and strong easily next two points.
At the end of the first quarter, at 22:15, the Chinese national youth team temporarily led the Latvian youth team playing at home by 7 points.
Today, the Chinese national youth team started very smoothly, with good lethality inside and outside, while the Latvian youth team on the opposite side made Gao Dazhuang feel very average.
"If it was in our group, they would definitely not be able to get out of the line" Wang Zhelin's voice came from the side, and it seemed that there was more than one person who had this opinion.
However, at the beginning of the second quarter, Davis Bertans, the core player of the Latvian youth team, hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.
As a small forward, Davis Bertans has reached a height of 2.10 meters, which has caused a lot of pressure on Xing Zhiqiang, the national youth small forward who is responsible for marking him.
In the next round, Wang Zhelin missed a strong shot under the basket, and the Latvian youth team immediately launched a counterattack.
Several of the national youth players, including Gao Dazhuang, quickly retreated into the box to form a defensive formation, but the Latvian youth team unexpectedly distributed the ball to teammates outside the three-point line.
It's Davis Bertans again, and it seems that Davis Bertans is confident in his three-point shooting percentage and shoots with his hands up.
With a "brush", Bertans' shot was once again accurately passed through the Nets.
At 22:21, the score was quickly chased to 1 point by the Latvian youth team.
"Steady, steady" Allen Guo dribbled forward while signaling his teammates to calm down.
Guo Allen dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously, and at this time, the tall and strong ran over to make a block.
Guo Allen suddenly accelerated, used his speed to force past the opposing guard, rushed straight to the basket, and threw his hand high in front of the Latvian youth team center before he saved.
Everyone watched the basketball fly towards the basket, and with a "dang" sound, Guo Allen's shot bounced out at the front of the basket.
And the flying basketball flew towards the tall and strong, who quickly stuck in position, and put the opponent's quarterback Yannis Timmaca behind him with both hands, just ready to jump and compete for the rebound.
"Damn" At this moment, Gao Dazhuang suddenly roared, just now Gao Dazhuang was pushed from behind, and Gao Dazhuang's whole person staggered forward.
"Smack" and the mastermind behind the scenes, Yannis Timma, took advantage of the opportunity to grab the defensive rebound.
"Oh" The audience at the scene was naturally amazed, but Gao Dazhuang couldn't help but appeal to the referee: "Thisisafoul", but the on-site referee obviously ignored Gao Dazhuang's appeal.
After the home team's Latvian youth team scored consecutive attacks, the shouts of the fans at the scene became even louder, and these enthusiasm not only boosted the morale of the team's players, but also produced a trace of inexplicable pressure on the psychology of the Chinese national youth team players.
With a "beep", the referee blew the whistle and sounded the "defensive foul" again.
In the offense and defense just now, Xing Zhiqiang, a small forward of the Chinese national youth team, fouled when defending the opponent's core Davis Bertans, but the foul just now seemed to be relatively reluctant in Gao Dazhuang's opinion.
Davis Bertans hit both free throws steadily, and at 23:24, the Latvian youth team took the lead with this wave of attacks at the beginning of the second quarter.
However, in attack, Gao Dazhuang found that the defensive action of the Latvian youth team players was also getting bigger and bigger at this time.
"Bang", Gao Dazhuang just received a through ball from Guo Allen on the outside, and the opponent's big forward Edmonds-Dukullis directly cut off the ball with one palm, but it was obvious that Dukulis hit Gao Dazhuang's hand first when he broke the ball, and Gao Dazhuang didn't have time to plead, and the referee had already turned around and ran to his own half.
Latvia took advantage of the situation and launched a fast break, and Yannis Tima scored an easy layup.
"Then the referee is blind," Gao Dazhuang couldn't help but complain.
The situation is developing in an unfavorable direction, and Wang Huaiyu, the head coach of the Chinese national youth team standing on the sidelines, is also frowning, this game is not as simple as imagined.
Allen Guo changed direction one step at a time from the three-point line to get past the opposing guard, and while attracting the defenders, he passed the ball to the tall and strong hand who cut into the three-second zone.
"Snap" was tall and strong after receiving the ball, and immediately leaned back to the point guard Yannis Tima who was closely following him, and then suddenly turned back and wiped the board for a layup.
With a "beep", the tall and strong didn't have time to celebrate, and the referee's whistle sounded, "offensive foul".
“WHAT? Where did I foul? You're blind," Gao Dazhuang couldn't help but rush up to the referee and asked.
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded again, and the referee crossed one palm with the other to form a T shape and raised it above his head.
Technical foul, the referee awarded a technical foul to Gao Dazhuang.
"FUCK" Gao Dazhuang's anger surged up, and at this time, Guo Allen and several other teammates immediately stepped forward to hug Gao Dazhuang, and Coach Wang Huaiyu also immediately applied for a substitution to replace Gao Dazhuang off the field.
"Do you want us to lose this game? Give me a good calm down first," Coach Wang Huaiyu scolded at Gao Dazhuang, and then cooled him aside.
After the tall and strong left the field, the Latvian youth team played more and more fiercely in the shouts of the home fans, while the Chinese youth team played timidly and completely lost the momentum in momentum.
35:43
At the end of the first half, the Chinese youth team was 8 points behind the Latvian youth team.
The referee's whistle throughout the first half was like a rope tied to the Chinese national youth team, which greatly affected the performance of the players.
Coach Wang Huaiyu said a bunch of words of encouragement to the players at halftime, then turned to look at Gao Dazhuang and said, "How is it?" Can you hit them back hard in the second half?"
"Of course," Gao Dazhuang stood up and said confidently, "The most important thing in playing basketball is to rely on strength, and these side doors will eventually be difficult to get into the hall of elegance."
"Okay, you have to have this kind of confidence, unite as one, and defeat them" The tall and confident answer was beyond Coach Wang Huaiyu's expectations, and Coach Wang Huaiyu also took the opportunity to stir up everyone's fighting spirit.
"Good," the national youth team player yelled at the same time.
At the beginning of the second half, the national youth team, which had a more calm mentality, prevented an attack from the opponent.
The national youth team quickly launched a counterattack, and Gao Dazhuang used a cover from his teammate Zhai Xiaochuan to accelerate the change of direction and break into the opponent's penalty area.
Tall Strong's breakthrough caused chaos in the Latvian restricted area, just as Tall Strongman dodged the defense and prepared for a layup.
The referee's whistle sounded again at an inopportune time, and everyone instantly looked at the referee.
The referee pointed to the tall and strong, opened the palms of both hands, and slapped up and down to say "two dribbles".
Before the last word of "I....", Gao Dazhuang actually held back himself, and just stared at the referee fiercely.
In the process of withdrawing to the half, Gao Dazhuang did not forget to pat Zhai Xiaochuan's shoulder and affirmed the blocking and dismantling just now.
In the next attack, Latvia's core player Davis Bertans once again used his height advantage to force a score in front of Xing Zhiqiang.
35:45
Although the score has been further expanded, the mentality of the players of the Chinese national youth team has gradually returned to normal, especially Gao Dazhuang has completely calmed down.
Gao Dazhuang and Guo Allen played a cover and passed the ball to Wang Zhelin on the inside, Wang Zhelin directly flicked the ball without stopping the ball, and the ball passed to the tall Dazhuang under the empty basket.
The tall and strong received the ball without hesitation, and the ball was just shot, and the opponent's defensive quarterback Yannis-Tima hit the tall and strong hand with one hand.
"Brush", although it was violated by the opponent, the tall and strong shot still hit the board.
"Hacking" Although the referee did not add a free throw, he still calmly said to the referee after landing on the ground, and slowly retreated to his own half without waiting for the referee to respond.
"Defense" returned to the tall and powerful roar of his own half.
"Defense" on and off the field all the Chinese youth team players responded loudly.
