"Oh, wonderful, this is definitely the best first half of the Chinese youth team in this World Youth Championship," CCTV commentator Yang Yi kept admiring.

"Yes, the tough defense and super high shooting rate have ensured the lead of the Chinese national youth team, and it is particularly gratifying that the national youth team has blossomed more points in scoring," said Su Qun, another commentator.

"Yes, I looked at the statistics of the players on the court, every player who started had scored, Gao Dazhuang had scored 13 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds in the first half, heh, it was already a double-double, and it was going for a triple-double" Yang Yi exclaimed.

"In the first half, Gao Dazhuang really played very well, although he didn't cut high scores as usual, but he successfully revitalized the whole team, and now the task in the second half is how to maintain the lead, there is a problem here, maintaining a high shooting rate and a tough defense requires good physical fitness, but now I see that some players have a lot of physical exertion" Su Qun said with some concern.

In fact, Wang Huaiyu, the head coach of the national youth team, also discovered this problem.

Although the players of the national youth team were full of excitement in the warm atmosphere of the scene, the wet clothes of the starters on the field made Coach Wang Huaiyu aware of this problem.

However, the players have a strong desire to fight, and in order not to break the current good situation, the list of the national youth team in the second half has not changed for the time being.

"Play steadily and control the situation" is what Coach Wang Huaiyu reminded the players before the second half.

However, the U.S. youth team was the first to make substitutions.

The U.S. junior team's two starting interior lineups, Marshall and Leonard, were replaced by interior linemen Patrick Young from the University of Florida and Tony Mitchell from the University of North Texas.

At 2.06m, Patrick Young has NBA-level physicality, toughness and athleticism, and is known as the best defensive high school student in the United States.

The 2.03-meter Tony Mitchell also has super athleticism, can defend players in multiple positions, rebounds well, and Mitchell is a natural scorer, whether it is an inside attack or a fixed-point jumper, the three-point shot is quite good.

After the substitutions, the average height on the field has decreased, but the team is more mobile.

Suddenly, Coach Wang Huaiyu had a little bad premonition.

Sure enough, the U.S. youth team had a faster offensive tempo after the change of formation.

The players are constantly running and the ball is moving quickly.

"Defend, pay attention to the defense," the tall and loud roared to remind his teammates of their positions.

The "pop" ball was passed to Jermie Lamb again.

After receiving the ball, Jermie Lamb quickly turned and slammed his weight into the flank, which subconsciously stepped back to try to stop him from breaking through.

"Squeak" At this time, the shoe rubbed against the floor with a screeching sound, and Jermie Lamb suddenly made a sharp stop, jumped decisively, and threw a shot.

Although the tall and strong immediately flew to save the ball, he was no longer able to stop the ball from shooting.

Gao Dazhuang looked back at the basketball flying in the air, and suddenly yelled "empty catch".

As soon as Jermie Lamb made his shot, he noticed that the ball was not on the right track, and the arc was quite low, so it was obvious that the ball was not a shot.

The basketball quickly fell to the edge of the basket, and at this time, the newly substituted American youth power forward Tony Mitchell cut to the basket in time, jumped high to catch Lamb's pass with one hand, and then smashed the ball into the basket.

With a "clang", the U.S. youth team kicked off the counterattack with an empty dunk in the second half.

"Oh" The many fans of the American youth team at the scene made a deafening sound.

"Hey, you can pack your bags and go home," Jermie Lamb said with a sinister look as he walked past the tall man.

"Then we have to go back with the championship trophy," the tall man replied with a light snort.

"Play steadily and control the rhythm," Wang Huaiyu, the head coach of the Chinese youth team, stood on the sidelines and reminded the players eagerly.

"Bang", before Coach Wang Huaiyu's words fell, Guo Allen's horizontal pass was stealed by the opponent's power forward Tony Mitchell.

Tony Mitchell quickly passed the ball to Hardaway, who rushed forward, and Hardaway continued to dangle and change direction, and instantly broke through Guo Allen's block and rushed straight to the basket.

When Hardaway burst into the penalty area of the national youth team with the ball, Tony Mitchell and Jermie Lamb had both killed left and right, while the Chinese youth team was the only one who quickly returned to defense.

3v1, hardly any suspense, Hardaway made a very deceptive pass and assisted Jeremy Lamb for an easy layup.

After the "Ha" goal, Lamb and Hardaway unscrupulously bumped their chests under the basket of the national youth team.

"Hey, how's that? Yellow-skinned kid," Jermie Lamb said defiantly, pointing to the scoreboard.

"Did you teach math by your English teacher? It's still us who are ahead now," said the tall man, glaring at Lamb.

"Hey, not soon," Lamb said, turning very arrogantly to meet the cheers of the audience.

"Now the situation of the national youth team is a little difficult, at this time, we must stop the American team from gaining momentum and control the rhythm of the game," CCTV commentator Yang Yi said anxiously.

"Yes, Guo Allen's pass just now is actually no problem, the problem is Xing Zhiqiang, Xing Zhiqiang's reaction is obviously half a beat slower, as if there is a problem with physical strength," Su Qun commented on the side.

Sure enough, as soon as the referee's whistle sounded, the Chinese national youth team asked for a substitution.

Starting small forward Xing Zhiqiang and replaced him with Wang Pu.

Wang Pu is also a member of the Guangdong youth team, 2.02 meters tall, is a very physical swing man, and his defensive ability is stronger than his offensive ability.

At this time, the reason why Coach Wang Huaiyu sent Wang Pu on the court is also obvious, that is, to continue to maintain the defensive intensity on the field and curb the counterattack momentum of the American youth team.

The Chinese youth team attacked.

is still tall and strong with the ball to advance, "hey" Gao Dazhuang suddenly beckoned Guo Allen to cover himself.

Lamb, who was defending the tall and strong front, also noticed Allen Guo coming from the side and was about to make adjustments.

At this time, Gao Dazhuang suddenly started, and accelerated his breakthrough from Lamb's flank after a few consecutive shakings, but the direction of the breakthrough was not Guo Allen's blockade of this side, but unexpectedly chose the other side.

"SHIT" Lamb yelled and immediately reflexively chased after the tall and strong, and Hardaway also came from diagonally behind to steal.

"Smack", at this point, the tall and strong used a ground-hitting pass directly through the gap between Lamb and Hardaway.

The ball was accurately passed to the empty Guo Allen behind them.

Guo Allen was stunned for a moment, but immediately came to his senses and immediately raised his hand to throw.

"It's beautiful," CCTV commentator Yang Yi couldn't help but praise loudly.

"When" but Guo Allen's shooting power was small, and the ball smashed into the front of the basket and bounced out.

Patrick Young, the center of the "counter-attacking" U.S. youth team, jumped high to grab the defensive rebound and threw the ball forward with a slam in front of the court.

In an instant, Hardaway and Lamb of the American youth team plunged two sharp swords into the hinterland of the national youth team.

And the only players in the national youth team who can keep up with them are tall and strong.

With a "brush", Hardaway faked a fax shot, deceived the tall and strong defense and easily made a layup.

48：43

With Hardaway's fast break, the margin was reduced to five points.

"The situation is a little bad, the national youth team has to make adjustments, and now the American youth team's counterattack momentum is very strong, don't you ask for a timeout?" CCTV commentator Yang Yi said anxiously.

Guo Allen of the "snap" national youth team dribbled and advanced just past the front court, and was suddenly caught by the double bag of the American youth team, and Guo Allen, who was caught off guard, was stolen by Hardaway with a dodge.

Hardaway stole and dribbled the ball to the basket, Guo Allen followed closely behind him and tried to catch up, but Hardaway didn't even leave a chance to foul Guo Allen, ran quickly, and made an easy layup.

After the layup, Hardaway jumped and waved his hands, mobilizing the emotions of the audience.

In stark contrast, Guo Allen was panting, in fact, Guo Allen's pursuit just now was already very pale and weak.

"Tut" the Chinese youth team once again asked for a substitution.

The starting point guard Guo Allen was replaced by Wang Zirui.

Wang Zirui, whose physical fitness and ball sense are very good, has a soft hand, is good at mid-range shooting, and has a broad vision, and is the future backcourt commander that CBA Zhejiang Guangsha focuses on cultivating.

The nervousness amplified the fitness problem, and the Chinese team made two substitutions at the beginning of the second half.

In front of Hardaway's suffocating defense, there was a "snap", and Wang Zirui's weak pass was once again stealed by the American youth team.

The U.S. youth team's counterattack was still swift, but this time it was Jermie Lamb, who was standing outside the three-point line.

With a "brush", Lamb's three-point shot passed through the Nets accurately.

Chasing three points, the more the American youth team played, the more confident they became, and they chose three points outside to end the offense in the counterattack.

The referee's whistle blew, and the Chinese youth team asked for a timeout.

A wave of attacks from the U.S. youth team directly stopped the Chinese youth team.

48：48

Just a few minutes into the second half, the U.S. youth team chased 11 points in a row and equalized the score.
