Chapter Twenty-Five: Impatient Ibaka!
In the dressing room of the Spanish team, Rubio sat in the corner sullen. Today, it was difficult for him to form an effective breakthrough in the face of Zhang Yu, and he couldn't find a chance to shoot, so he could only help his teammates with passes. If it is usual, he likes to give his teammates a chance to pass the ball, but in the first half, Zhang Yu frequently broke through to the inside, and it would be strange to say that he didn't want to return it.
For Rubio's depression, the coach of the Spanish team saw it in his heart, but he couldn't help him, and some things could only be solved by himself. On the basketball court, there are players who, despite being very good themselves, are inherently restrained by a certain type of player. The opponent Rubio met today is obviously his nemesis. If Rubio wants to become a real star player, he must overcome this hurdle, otherwise he will not only meet Zhang Yu in the future, but he will also meet more players who can limit him.
In terms of speed, Rubio is inferior to his opponent; The wheel is flexible, and Rubio is only a little stronger than his opponent; In terms of strength and height, Rubio was even more defeated.
Coupled with the opponent's excellent defensive ability and positive defensive attitude, it is difficult for Rubio not to be a tragedy. Now he can still help his teammates with passing, which is already rare. The U.S. team is full of talents, and he is stunned that the wheel battle can't limit Zhang Yu, and he is still beaten by Zhang Yu, if he thinks so, there is nothing to be ashamed of, even if he is called the golden boy of Europe!
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Chinese team attacked.
Zhang Yu dribbled to the front court and glanced at Rubio, a little strange, he found that Rubio looked at him with a very resentful look, this girl is not glass, right?
Zhang Yu was puzzled, changed direction, and used his strength to forcibly squeeze Rubio into the penalty area.
Ibaka guarded the inside line and wanted to cover Zhang Yu for a long time, but Zhang Yu was very cunning in the first half, and the breakthrough was not in the direction of his defense, intentionally or unintentionally, or he had already thrown blue before he went deeper, so he didn't get a chance, and the only time he blocked was fouled by the referee.
Zhang Yu was resolute this time, breaking through Rubio from the flank, and facing Ibaka, he had many ways to finish.
Ibaka didn't dare to be careless, he had watched the videos of this kid's previous games, his feints were realistic, he was good at making free throws, and he was very cunning! can successfully block the other party, his attention is highly concentrated, and he is secretly vigilant in his heart, and he must not let the other party's feints shake!
"He's going to shoot ......!"
Zhang Yu suddenly stopped in front of him, and made a shooting motion with both hands, and Ibaka jumped up without thinking under extreme concentration......
As soon as he jumped up, Ibaka wanted to slap himself, and just now he reminded himself in his heart, don't be fooled, this thought has not yet fallen, but his body has already flown up
"Holy? This girl is so easy to deceive? ”
When Zhang Yu saw that he was shaking his hand, he flew up Ibaka, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart. It's a shame that he has been afraid of the opponent's defense in the first half and doesn't dare to play inside, and this guy is a stunned young man? Immediately, he despised Su Wei and Li Xiaoxu very much, such a guy made them look like that bear, I really don't know what to say
Zhang Yu didn't remember at all at this time, why he didn't dare to play to the basket in the first half.
Zhang Yu leaned on Ibaka and threw the basketball into the frame, and the referee immediately blew the whistle!
The foul couldn't be more obvious, and Ibaka didn't even have a chance to defend himself, so he raised his hand helplessly, looking depressed.
More depressed than him was Rubio, Zhang Yu once again treated him as nothing, and after breaking through him, he caused passivity on the inside, and directly led Ibaka to foul and make up for the defense.
At the beginning of the game, Rubio was able to keep up with Zhang Yu's breakthrough with his nimble feet. But then Zhang Yu used his body to squeeze in, so that he had no way at all, Zhang Yu often leaned on his shoulder, and bounced him away. In the final analysis, Zhang Yu is using his scoring guard stature to bully point guards who are shorter than him. Many players want to do this, but few have the agility and speed of Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu hit both free throws and scored his 16th point of the game.
Rubio turned around and continued to lead the team with his passes. couldn't effectively break through Zhang Yu, so he simply focused all his energy on assisting his teammates. Excellent vision can make him keenly aware of the gaps of the weaker players, and timely pass the empty ball to pose a threat to the Chinese team.
Just like this time, the Ruby Olympic ball was too deep and had already dribbled the ball to the baseline, and under the sandwich of Zhang Yu and the interior player, the passing angle seemed to be gone, but Rubio still unexpectedly crossed the ball from the out-of-bounds to the other bottom corner and assisted his teammate to hit a three-point shot.
Zhang Yu also had to admire the other party's vision was really broad, if it was him, he would definitely not be able to pass this kind of ball just now.
China attacked, Zhang Yu cut in the flank, Li Xiaoxu, who responded in the high position, passed the ball out in time, Zhang Yu could have used his speed to make a layup, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly found that Ibaka was coming from the other side, and his heart moved, and he made a move under the basket. Rubio, who followed him, and Ibaka, who arrived from the other side, surrounded him in the middle, one left and one right.
Zhang Yu lifted the ball, ignored Rubio on one side, and shook the ball twice in a row, but Ibaka finally flew up.
Zhang Yu was happy, ready to make another foul on Ibaka, when suddenly his hand was light, and Rubio saw the opportunity to cut the ball away.
Rubio cut off the badminton basketball, dribbled two steps and passed the ball directly to the frontcourt, and the Spanish scoring guard made a layup quickly.
"My day!" Zhang Yu couldn't help but curse softly.
"You're a lot taller than him, you don't have to jump. He's leading you to foul, you've committed two fouls, be careful! ”
Rubio passed the basketball and walked up to Ibaka and whispered, Ibaka smiled embarrassedly and nodded in understanding.
The two communicated in Spanish, Zhang Yu didn't know what they were talking about, smiled and walked to the two of them and said, "Next time I'll play inside, stop me if I have the ability!" After saying that, he didn't wait for them to react, turned around and ran to the back court to receive the serve.
Rubio and Ibaka looked at each other, not knowing how to react, but Ibaka gritted his teeth and said, "This guy is so annoying, I really want to fan him away!" ”
Although Rubio agreed, he still persuaded: "Calm down, this guy wants to provoke us, don't be fooled." ”
Zhang Yu dribbled over, and Rubio stuck tighter this time and stood in position. Zhang Yu is not easy to come hard, and he only scored the inside line through guò blocking and dismantling. Rubio was blocked by Su Wei, although he couldn't keep up with Zhang Yu, but he still desperately caught up, he had already seen the purpose of the Chinese's frequent breakthroughs, he wanted to make Ibaka's foul!
Ibaka once again helped to defend him, Zhang Yu faced his continuous disguise, small and big plays themselves have an advantage, taking advantage of Ibaka's unstable center of gravity, Zhang Yu quickly used his speed to pass Ibaka to slam the dunk. He usually doesn't dunk much, but at this time, in order to induce Ibaka to foul himself, he has to do it anyway.
Ibaka thought of Rubio's words behind him, thinking that he had already committed two crimes, and hesitated for a moment and didn't follow up to block it, allowing Zhang Yu to dunk it violently.
"Hey, stupid big man, do you have this ability, you should try it out in the women's basketball team, it must be for you!"
After Zhang Yu landed, he continued to launch taunting skills against Ibaka, Ibaka was still very pure at the moment, far less sophisticated than later, and he couldn't even speak trash talk, not to mention that his English was not particularly good, and he couldn't scold anything when he stammered, and he was blushing for a while, and he clenched his fists and wanted to knock out a few teeth of the other party.
Ibaka was angry and couldn't vent his anger, and vented all his anger on the offense. When Spain attacked, Ibaka leaned on Li Xiaoxu in the low post and waved his hands vigorously to Rubio for the ball.
Rubio is reluctant to do so, and Ibaka's low-post offensive ability is still untapped at the moment, and his ability to score in the low post is a matter of luck. But seeing that he was so positive, if the ball didn't pass, it would affect the harmony of the team, so he could only pass the ball and pray that God was on their side.
It's hard to say whether God is on his side or not, but Zhang Yu is already standing by Ibaka's side. As soon as Rubio passed the ball, Zhang Yu had already given up on Rubio's defense, turned around and rushed back to the inside to take a trap on Ibaka.
Ibaka was not prepared for Zhang Yu's quick pinching, he didn't have any low-post ability, and when he encountered the bag at the moment, he couldn't even pass the ball. Rubio didn't have a chance to connect, and the ball was already broken by Zhang Yu.
After Ibaka lost the ball, he sat on the ground and watched Zhang Yu dribble to the front court.
Zhang Yu was dribbling at high speed, Rubio had no chance to break the ball, so he could only follow Zhang Yu in the hope of interfering with him, and the rest of the Spanish team was pulled behind by Zhang Yu. After entering the three-point line, Zhang Yu suddenly slowed down, used the rhythm to shake off Rubio, and made an easy layup.
After Ibaka's mistake, he was embarrassed to ask Rubio for the ball. Zhang Yu's attacks, although he failed to get Ibaka down, successfully provoked his anger. Ibaka lost face on the offensive end, eager to regain face on the defensive end, and his mentality was unbalanced, which affected his performance.
In the second half of the third quarter, Ibaka became more and more impatient, and once he lost his composure, it meant that he lost his defense, and the Chinese team's interior began to gradually recover and began to score.
As long as the Chinese team's interior can score, the pressure on the outside attack group led by Zhang Yu will be reduced, and the combination of inside and outside will always be the strongest.
Here, Spain is still able to run out of space, and the hitting rate has always remained at a certain level.
61-62, the Chinese team fell behind by one point, and the two teams were still evenly matched after the third quarter!
After the third quarter, Zhang Yu scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, becoming the highest scorer in the game, and today he is going to score 30 points.
