Chapter Twenty-Three: Evenly Divided (I)

At the end of the first quarter, Zhang Yu of the Chinese team scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. Xu Yong had 10 points and 2 rebounds. Su Wei and Li Xiaoxu did not look good, the two combined to score 2 points, and the substitute small forward Ba Zhichao scored 4 points.

The Spanish team's Rubio scored 4 points and 4 assists, and Ibaka, in addition to the defensive end of the Chinese team's interior defense, could not score, and the rebounding ball was also firmly in his own hands, and he scored 4 points and 7 rebounds in the first quarter. Although Victor couldn't defend against Xu Yong, he also made achievements in the offense, scoring 7 points in the first quarter.

The two teams played their own games, and the score was 25-24 in the first quarter, and the Chinese team temporarily led by one point.

In the first half of the second quarter, both teams switched to bench lineups.

The Chinese team has always been a substitute for the dad, and today finally showed a high level, Gu Oak and Ba Zhi were excellent, so that the Chinese team not only was not overtaken by the Spanish team in the rotation stage, but expanded the lead.

With 5 minutes and 50 seconds left in the second quarter, the Chinese team was already 33-29, leading Spain by 4 points.

Li Chunjiang replaced Zhang Yu, who was fully rested, and let him play point guard. Xu Yong replaced Gu Oak, and Ba Zhichao was moved from small forward to the second position.

Spain was behind, Rubio had already played a minute ago, Zhang Yu played point guard, and the two finally officially faced off.

The first time the two really faced each other, Zhang Yu attacked with the ball, and he chose to play Rubio alone.

Rubio is nimble on his feet, and although he is not particularly fast, he is not slow either. Zhang Yu broke through with the ball on the flank, used his speed to force Rubio, and after breaking through two steps, he was only half a body ahead of the opponent, and he did not do his best.

Zhang Yu could choose to continue to rush in at this time, but he didn't want to enter the inside line, in the face of Ibaka's defense, his grasp was not very large, so he stopped sharply at the right corner, pulled to the right, dodged enough space and immediately shot, the basketball bounced out of the basket a few times on the basket, and the rebound was taken by Ibaka.

In the next round, Rubio also chose to break through Zhang Yu.

Rubio's breakthrough steps are good at rhythm changes, flexible and changeable, Zhang Yu is much taller than Rubio, slightly less flexible, and a little awkward in defense.

The Ruby Olympic ball is excellent and good at covering with his body, Zhang Yu did not rashly reach out to break the ball, kept a certain distance, and used his super long arm span to interfere with the opponent.

Rubio faced Zhang Yu and seemed to be at ease, but he really didn't have any good opportunities. Especially Zhang Yu's long arm span, Rubio did not dare to blindly play the ball, for fear of being cut off by Zhang Yu. Shooting is not what he is good at, especially in the face of Zhang Yu's long arms, he doesn't dare to shoot at will. wanted to use his footsteps to break through Zhang Yu, and several times he stopped and changed direction to shake off the other party, although Zhang Yu struggled to defend himself, he was always able to follow him.

Young people who are not competitive, Zhang Yu faced his defense before, and he could get the space to shoot very easily, although he didn't score, but the opportunity finally came out. At the moment, he seems to be at ease, but in fact there is nothing to do. Before he knew it, he had possession for more than 14 seconds, which was dangerous for point guards, and Rubio stopped sticking to the ball and passed it to Victor.

Victor was at the top of the arc, facing Xu Yong, who was close to him, he also had no chances, he did not have the ability to create zĂ o opportunities, he was a typical catch-and-shoot pitcher, dribbled twice, and quickly passed the ball to Alonso.

Alonso didn't have much time to attack after receiving the ball, and in the face of Ba Zhichao, he dribbled the ball a few times at will and barely shot.

This time the shot was too reluctant, the basketball didn't even touch the basket, and the Chinese team successfully defended the opponent for a 24-second violation.

Zhang Yu took advantage of the serve and whispered to Xu Yong and Ba Zhichao: "That European golden boy, if you can't break through me, I will prevent him from passing the ball to the inside, and then his passing route will not be too much, everyone pay attention to it, and find an opportunity to break his pass on the flank." ”

The Chinese team attacked again, and Zhang Yu faced Rubio this time and recruited Su Wei to come over to block the demolition. Su Wei hurriedly ran over, blocked Rubio and immediately dismantled it to the basket, leaving Zhang Yu with enough space to break through and pass.

Spanish center Kelvin, remember the coach's arrangement after blocking Zhang Yu before the game, as long as the opponent comes out to block Zhang Yu's defender, the players who follow him will immediately delay Zhang Yu's defense until his teammates return to their defensive position. So Kelvin didn't care about Su Wei, who left as soon as he blocked, but ran to help defend Zhang Yu.

Su Wei saw that the other party ignored him, and accelerated to the basket, he knew that Zhang Yu would pass the ball. Sure enough, as soon as he ran to the three-second zone, Zhang Yu's pass arrived. Faced with such a good opportunity, Su Wei directly chose to dunk after receiving the ball.

Joy is sad, sadness is sadness in Su Wei chose to dunk, his weight is too high, and his bounce is very average, as a result, this slam dunk, the speed of the jump is really miserable, giving the weak side of the opportunity to make up for the Ibaka block.

Facing Su Wei, who was jumping slowly, Ibaka, who quickly made up for the defense, was unceremonious, flew up, and a big hat flew Su Wei out with the ball.

In the front court, the referee saw it clearly, and awarded Ibaka a good hat at the first time, and the ball was returned to Spain.

Ibaka, the big blood hat, directly fanned Su Wei out of Xiang, and fell to the ground for a long time before he got up, his face was very dark, and his heart was sad and indignant!

Zhang Yu also felt a lot of pain for this ball, and secretly thought in his heart: "This ball attracted two players from the other side, and the pass was timely and beautiful, but you didn't even enter the sky blue, go eat Xiang!" ”

He glanced at Ibaka who was beating his chest and shouting, this has been playing better and better all this time, and it doesn't bode well if it goes on like this. An inside line with strong athleticism and playing in a state will completely blow up the inside line of the Chinese team, and the explosion of the inside line will make it more difficult to break through the outside line.

Rubio tried to play Zhang Yu alone, and found that in the case of 1v1, it was really difficult to effectively break through Zhang Yu, and he also called Ibaka to block and dismantle when he got to the top of the arc.

Ibaka immediately ran over, but his blocking quality was average, he was a bouncing player, and there was no horizontal area of Su Wei, and this block did not completely block Zhang Yu. Although Rubio passed through from the left side, Zhang Yu caught up with him with a force, and Li Xiaoxu also crossed in front of him.

"Damn, Lao Tzu can defend himself, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Yu saw that Li Xiaoxu did not follow Ibaka, but stepped forward to wrap Rubio with him, and knew that it was going to be bad...... At this time, you don't need to look to know that Ibaka must have been dismantled to the basket

Rubio's pass was very hidden, and he didn't make any movement in his hands, and he had already hit the ground and passed the ball through Li Xiaoxu's goal......

This crotch piercing made the Spanish fans at the scene cheer, but before this cheer fell, an arm suddenly stretched out in the middle of the passing route.

Zhang Yu saw that Li Xiaoxu did not follow the defense of Ibaka, turned around and entered the inside line, staring at Rubio's passing route, his long arm played left and right at this time, and with a big hand, he reached out in front of Ibaka to intercept the basketball.

Xu Yong and Ba Zhichao quickly got down from both sides, Zhang Yu threw the ball directly to the front court, and the Spanish players didn't expect Zhang Yu to break the ball, and no one defended back.

The two wings of the Chinese team flew together, and there was no defender behind them, which seemed to have no momentum.

Xu Yong easily slammed the dunk.

With a score of 37-31, the Spanish team did not attack well and called a timeout.
