Chapter 31: A Wave!

From the beginning of the game, Zhang Yu swept away the distractions in his heart, and became as calm and calm as before, looking at Batum in the distance with cold eyes.

His physical talent and solid fundamentals make it difficult for Zhang Yu to lose confidence even if he suffers setbacks, because he has already proven himself in the first seven games and gained enough confidence.

"If my appearance is not good, it's not that you're good, it's that I have a problem!"

This is Zhang Yu's mentality at this time, not to despise his opponent, but to have full confidence in himself!

Zhang Yu holds the ball at the top of the arc, and then according to his habits, he should move in a certain direction on the left and right wings, at 45 degrees or burst or shoot or, or pass the ball out, run to the bottom line without the ball cover to seek opportunities, this is the inevitable choice of tall guards, just like the two superstar guards in the NBA, Kobe Bryant and Maddy.

However, this time it was different, Zhang Yu accelerated sharply at the top of the arc and went straight into the box before Batum could react.

Zhang Yu's breakthrough this time was unexpected by everyone, the French team was caught off guard, the inside defensive formation was not fully deployed, Zhang Yu had already slapped the horse, rushed to the air before the opponent's defense, and scored his first goal of the game with a swift one-handed split.

This wonderful goal ignited the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans who had been silent for a long time, and the fans finally had a chance to express their views, the horn sounded, and the slogan of "Chinese team, come on, ......" resounded in the stadium for the first time

Breaking through the middle is not actually suitable for tall defenders. In the NBA, the gap between everyone and the body is not so obvious, and many role players and even bench players may still have more than the stars. So even a superstar like Kobe Maddie rarely breaks through the middle in the NBA. Only a player with explosive power and speed like Wade will often break through the middle.

Zhang Yu forgot about it, this is not the NBA, this is the World Youth Championships, it is a game of a group of young players under the age of 19, Zhang Yu's speed and skill are here, and they are the ones who can't defend

"I'll break through here for a while, remember, it's here!"

When Zhang Yu returned to the defense, he said to Batum beside him in the position where he had just broken through.

Batum frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, and ran to the front court with his head down. He is very introverted, which is related to his family experience.

Batum has heart problems that run in families. His father died of a heart attack on the basketball court, and the uncertainty of his own body put him under much higher pressure than ordinary people, and it also made him more mature. His physical talent is not as good as Beasley's, but his defensive success against Zhang Yu is far superior to the former.

After Zhang Yu finished talking trash talk, he also felt a little guilty in his heart. His grandmother's, in these few games, the opponent is either this kind of stuffy jar honest person, or Curry Rubio's pure little Zhengtai. Talking trash to these people and making small gestures made him feel like a villain.

Although Batum is honest, he was so provoked by Zhang Yu, how could he not have any anger. This time the French team attacked, and Batum's attack was finally raised. Facing Zhang Yu, he chose to force a breakthrough.

Once a person loses his cool and fails to put himself in the right position, it is the beginning of a tragedy......

Although Batum's body is excellent, there is still a slight gap compared to Zhang Yu. Especially his ability to hold the ball, which is several levels worse than Zhang Yu. The ball sense can't go up much just by hard work, it all depends on talent. In the face of Zhang Yu's defense, Batum bumped, barely dribbled into the basket, and forced a layup...... The consequence was that the basketball was slapped to the audience by Zhang Yu's big hat.

The basketball was fanned out of bounds by Zhang Yu, and the referee immediately awarded the French team a baseline ball, a good hat......

After Batum was capped, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, Zhang Yu did not step forward to pull up the other party, stood in front of the other party, and whispered:

"I don't want your parents to see you continue to make a fool of yourself, start now, keep a three-meter distance from me!"

Batum stood up with a "poof"! Only his face was red, his eyes burst with infinite anger, his teammates saw that it was not good, and quickly grabbed him, and the coach of the French team also hurriedly called a timeout.

Zhang Yu didn't know about Batum's father dying on the court, and his words inadvertently poked the most painful place in Batum's heart.

"Well done!"

The game was suspended, the players walked back to the coach's seat, Li Chunjiang was full of smiles, and he came up and patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder.

Zhang Yu glanced at Batum in the distance, and wondered a little in his heart, he was as calm as a wood, as for a word, did he lose his coolness? If you can't stay calm, you're not going to be beaten up by me today

The game soon restarted, and the coach of the French team saw that Batum was not very stable, and unexpectedly did not play after the timeout. When the Chinese team attacked again, Zhang Yu easily got rid of the opponent and got an unguarded mid-range shot, the basketball hollowed into the net, and Zhang Yu hit the first jumper of the game.

"That's the difference between a substitute and a main player, I can get a hundred points on your head!" Zhang Yu has no humanity, and he still spits trash talk in the face of the French team's substitutes.

The substitute defender of the French team was hit miserably, as if the little daughter-in-law had been wronged, Zhang Yu secretly scolded another victim, after playing so many games, Ibaka really looked like a gentleman, he shouldn't have scolded his wife in the first place.

The players of the French team who replaced Batum became Zhang Yu's shooting trainer in the last few minutes.

Zhang Yu's originally cold hand felt that under the other party's professional sparring, he finally recovered. Only a minute and a half later, Zhang Yu hit two consecutive mid-range shots plus a three-pointer, forcing the French team to call a timeout again.

Relying on Zhang Yu's continuous shooting, the Chinese team played a wave of small highs, and the score instantly became 28-30, the Chinese team only fell behind by two points, and Zhang Yu also increased his personal count to 10 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

Zhang Yu has regained his state, and the CCTV studio has also regained its vitality, and Director Zhang seems to be able to even talk about it. Fans who watched Zhang Yu's game for the first time in front of the TV were originally extremely disappointed with Zhang Yu, who was in the doldrums before, but at this moment Zhang Yu scored 9 points in a row, and everyone finally stopped muttering, Zhang Yu played such a, how did he win the scoring king.

The French team took a timeout this time and had no choice but to replace Batum again, hoping that he could limit Zhang Yu as before. Although the comprehensive strength of the French team is stronger than that of China, there is no player in the team like Zhang Yu who can change the situation of the game in an instant.

Batum sat on the sidelines for more than a minute and has calmed down. As soon as he came on the field, his keen feeling made him find that the momentum of the Chinese team at this moment was a little different from before, and he couldn't say what it was, but this feeling was very bad!

Offense drives defense, and when the team plays high and high tides in a short period of time and quickly closes the score, it can often rely on this momentum to drive the team's defensive ability, so that the short-term defensive ability can also be raised to a higher level.

This is the case with today's Chinese team, their original defense, which was not excellent, actually gave people a feeling of being airtight and unable to start. This is how Spain was killed before, and now the French team does not look good.

The French team could not adapt to this change for a while, and the attack ended with a steal by the Chinese team.

The French team made a mistake, the Chinese team's offense had just begun, Zhang Yu was already flying fast at the moment of breaking the ball, Xu Yong, who broke the basketball, made a long pass directly to the bottom line, and Zhang Yu received the basketball at the opponent's three-point line. Batum desperately chased back behind him, but found that the distance between him and Zhang Yu was not only not closer, but was pulled farther and farther away by the other party, and finally he could only watch Zhang Yu easily go to the basket and score two points.

"Come on, you almost stopped me!"

After Zhang Yu scored this time, he imitated Jordan's classic trash talk and said to Batum with a smile.

Batum turned his head away, his hands clenched into fists, and he was silent!
