Chapter 8: Ambition

Those who waste opportunities will be punished, Xu Yong verifies this.

This mistake also had a big impact on himself. So much so that when defending, Xu Yong's whole mind was still immersed in the mistake just now.

Nemanja saw that Xu Yong was inattentive, and broke through his defense in a simple disguise.

Xu Yong subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the referee immediately blew the whistle in his mouth, and Nemanja threw the basketball casually, and the basketball turned twice on the hoop and rolled in......

Goal scored, penalty added!

Xu Yong held his head and defended to the referee that his foul was first and should be punished twice, and this goal does not count.

The referee ignored Xu Yong and insisted on his own penalty.

The Serbian home crowd fell into a frenzy, and Nemanyaga hit a free throw, 76-81, and the Chinese team trailed by five points with 1:05 left in the game.

Serbia took advantage of this excitement and continued to press the Chinese team all over the field.

Zhang Yu took advantage of the timeout and free throws just now, recovered a little of his body, and dribbled the ball across the front court with Gu Oak, who received him.

Zhang Yu faced Stefan, dribbled under his crotch continuously, Stefan subconsciously retreated, and Zhang Yu jumped up directly to pull out three points.

As soon as the ball was shot, Zhang Yu found that the power was light, and immediately shouted: "Rebound".

Su Wei used his fat ass to squeeze away the skinny bamboo pole Boban and grab the rebound in the frontcourt.

However, before he could be happy, the referee blew the whistle again and sentenced Su Wei to scramble for rebounds and push people.

Su Wei held his head in his hands and scolded in his heart: "Ma Dan, Lao Tzu is obviously using his ass, where is there a push?" You have to see it clearly when you blow the home whistle! ”

He has already committed five fouls, according to international basketball rules, five fouls will be sent off, and the Chinese team is not only five points behind at the last moment, but also one less general, and the general trend has gone.

Slow-motion replay, Su Wei's ball did not push people, it was a reasonable collision. Boban, who is 221 cm tall, was too thin, and he ran out of body before he was easily knocked away by Su Wei.

As soon as Su Wei came off the court, the Chinese team lost the best defender on the inside and became more passive.

In the next round, Milan Makewan scored the ball in the low post, the score was 76-83, and with 30 seconds left in the game, Li Chunjiang had no choice but to replace Zhang Yu and gave up the game.

Zhang Yu dragged his tired body off the field, and a scene worthy of media coverage appeared after the game, and nearly half of the home audience got up and applauded Zhang Yu, who was excellent in this game. If it weren't for his aggressive block on Mla Deng in the first half, the audience would have applauded more.

Sun Zhengping picked up Zhang Yu's number of the game and said: "Although the Chinese team lost this game, Zhang Yu is still the most brilliant player tonight. He played as a point guard tonight, shooting 10-of-18 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line for a staggering 31 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yu broke the record of the youngest triple-double winner at the World Youth Championships, he was born on February 14, 1990 and just turned 17 years old. Another high-profile player in China, Xu Yong, had 19 points, five rebounds and two assists, but had four turnovers. ”

As Sun Zhengping's voice fell, the game ended, and the Chinese team lost the opening game of this World Youth Championship 79-85, against the host Serbian team.

The next game of the Chinese team is three days later, against the United States, the favorite to win the World Youth Championship, and there are many star players in the NCAA team, and the Chinese team will face a bigger test.

The match was over, and Mla Deng went out of his way to find Zhang Yu to exchange jerseys.

"Hi man, you played awesomely. You're going to be an NBA player in the future, so let's swap jerseys, okay? ”

This black guy who was ravaged by Zhang Yu for the whole game looked very sincere at the moment, and he didn't seem to hate him because of Zhang Yu's previous fouls on him and trash talk, but instead showed a pair of white teeth and said with a smile.

Mla Deng was so friendly that Zhang Yu was a little stunned, but then quickly took off the jersey and handed it to Mla Deng.

"You're not bad, I'm glad that foul didn't hurt you."

The fans applauded the friendly behavior of the two, Zhang Yu faintly felt a little pain, and secretly said that this is a sufferer, just like this feel?

If he was replaced by someone who was so ** for the whole game, it would be impossible to have this mentality after the game, even if he won......

Back in the locker room, although he lost the game, Li Chunjiang still encouraged the players and cheered the players one by one.

Zhang Yu was silent, and saw that many of his teammates were still talking and laughing, and he was even more unhappy, especially Xu Yong, who made a mistake at a critical moment, and this guy was even embarrassed to brag about his several breakthroughs and slam dunks!

Zhang Yu is usually very calm both on and off the court, but this time he was unexpected and made a move that did not match his personality, only to see Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu go straight to Xu Yong and asked:

"Why did you dunk that ball at the end? Does slam dunk give you a special thrill? More important than victory? ”

Xu Yong was stupid; Li Chunjiang was stupid; The teammates were stupid too...... No one expected that Zhang Yu would lose his temper at this time and blame his teammates.

Zhang Yu has always been very unhappy with Xu Yong, hating the other party's arrogant character, this guy always wants to compete with him for the core, and he has no ability, so it is even more unforgivable. When I first joined the team, I was not less excluded by him. He didn't really lose his mind this time, most of it was playing on the topic, and there was a deeper reason.

"I said, don't stand still and wait for the ball, why don't you run more? Singles don't have a chance, why don't you spread it? How many failed hits have you had tonight, have you counted them? ”

Zhang Yu didn't wait for Xu Yong to react, and asked one after another.

Xu Yong finally reacted, the core was robbed, and he was already unhappy when he made a mistake at a critical moment, but now he was so counted by Zhang Yu, how can he still hang his face?

Xu Yong clenched his fists, slammed on the chair, got up and shot back: "If you play well tonight, you are qualified to teach me a lesson?" Where were you when I won the dunk king? ”

Zhang Yu was about to ridicule him, and the CBA's dunk king was embarrassed to take it out and say, Li Chunjiang slammed the tactical board and yelled: "What are you arguing about, if you lose the ball, you have infighting, do you want to spread it out and make the world laugh?" Whoever says more, you don't have to play for the rest of the game, pack up and go back immediately! ”

As soon as the head coach was angry, Zhang Yu stopped talking and returned to his seat and bowed his head to pack up his belongings.

Li Chunjiang was angry, but Zhang Yu was actually not very worried. He clearly knows that anyone can be without this team, even him.

Zhang Yu and Xu Yong are at odds, this is what Li Chunjiang is most worried about, but now it has really happened.

At present, the most important person in this team is naturally Zhang Yu, his scoring ability is the best in the team, his defensive ability is also the best in the team, and even his passing organization is also the best in the team.

But Xu Yong is also important to the team, and Xu Yong's impact is also what the Chinese team needs. Xu Yong's air cut in the low post is also one of the standing weapons of the Chinese team. The Chinese team is not like other teams, with a balanced strength in five positions. The Chinese team has obvious shortcomings, so the two strong points of Zhang Yu and Xu Yong are crucial. Without Xu Yong's attraction, the other party could even use three people to wrap Zhang Yu.

How could Zhang Yu not understand this, he understood that it was very unwise for him and Xu Yong to make trouble, but he still had to do it, because he wanted to send a signal to everyone, in this team, there must only be his own voice!

He Xu Yong must also understand that if he wants to steal the limelight and the core, it is not allowed.

He only has two choices, either be obedient or get out!

If he doesn't make a choice, let the coaching staff choose!

Zhang Yu has been the core of the team since he was a child, no matter what age group he is in. The people who used to play with him secretly gave him the nickname "Dictator" behind his back. Zhang Yu found out later, but he didn't care. He just wants everyone to work according to his ideas, and he wants everyone to revolve around him and center on him.

In the Asian Youth Championships, Zhang Yu relied on his own strength to be promoted to the youth team, although he was proud and conceited, he was not stupid.

When he first came to the youth team, he found that Xu Yong was already the core of the team, so he chose to forbear before he was sure of grabbing power. With his selfless ball-sharing, accurate shooting and dominant defense, he made the coaching staff pay more and more attention to him and make his teammates trust him more and more

Soon, the coaching staff put Zhang Yu, who was outstanding, into the position of the main scoring guard.

At the Asian Youth Championships, Zhang Yu became the starter, and he had more opportunities to show his face. His talent is undoubtedly much higher than that of his teammates, and he is much more efficient on the field than other players, and his level is gradually above that of his teammates. His maturity, steadiness, and selflessness have made the entire coaching staff crazy for him. It only took a few months for him to snatch Xu Yong's core position.

Others may think that this is okay, but Zhang Yu is not satisfied, he still feels that it is not enough, he still wants to let the national audience know him, he wants to be really famous.

So in this game, he is still very selfless, whether it is on the offensive end or the defensive end, he is very dominant. Otherwise, he will only focus on attacking, and he will not use up his body.

Before the game, he knew that there would be a live broadcast on CCTV tonight, and although the Chinese team lost a little regrettable at the moment, fans across the country must know that there is such a person as him.

Now his target is actually no longer Xu Yong, a guy he looks down on at all.

In this World Youth Championships, Zhang Yu has his own ideas. He wants to get through this World Junior Championships and enter the sight of the senior national team. Although his people are in Serbia, their eyes have secretly looked at the Beijing Olympics.

The Olympic Games have focused the attention of the whole world, and that is the stage that he has long dreamed of; It's even more mixed there; It's nowhere near as innocent as the youth team.
