Chapter 32: Is It Too Much?

Batum's game brought enough pressure to Zhang Yu, but it did not crush him, but Zhang Yu took advantage of this pressure to go further and make a breakthrough.

This kind of breakthrough is not technical, Zhang Yu's accumulation in the past ten years, the technical has temporarily reached a bottleneck, and before his body does not go further, there is not much that can be improved at the technical level. What he lacks is how to integrate these skills and use them according to local conditions in the ever-changing arena.

Before Zhang Yu, he just copied the techniques he had learned, just like Ling Hu Chong, who was a beginner in Dugu Jiujian, and he just copied the sword moves when he fought the sword. Unlike at this moment, Zhang Yu's every move on the field is more crisp and neat, and he gradually has a bit of a taste of ease.

People who often watch superstars like Kobe Bryant and Maddie Paul play can find that every move of these players on the court gives people a feeling of freedom and ease. And ordinary players will always give people a dull and stiff feeling when they make moves.

At this moment, Zhang Yu, although he can't do the superstars' superstar-like performances on the field, there is also a trace of lightness in the movement.

Before the end of the first half, Batum found that he was completely unable to defend against Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu suddenly started to speed up before, and used his speed to turn the French team's internal and external lines upside down. As a result, the situation on the field of the French team was passive for a while, until they called several timeouts before finally starting to adapt to Zhang Yu's speed.

Unexpectedly, the French team had just adapted, but Zhang Yu suddenly stopped using his speed to break through, and his movements became slow and fast again. Once the speed and slowness are combined, there are more changes, and the more he has to guard against, and in the end, he found that even if Zhang Yu slows down, he can't keep up with the other party's pace at all, and he is always flashed out of the shooting space by the opponent.

After moving back to the momentum, Zhang Yu's condition is getting better and better, and his hand is getting hotter and hotter, before the end of the halftime, he threw another mid-distance, and also made an inside foul and won two free throws.

At the end of the half, Zhang Yu of the Chinese team was like a god possessed, and scored 15 points in the last three minutes, leading the Chinese team to overtake France 35-32 in one fell swoop, and leading France by 3 points at halftime.

Zhang Yu, who has already played his form, was still hot in the second half, and once again transformed into the omnipotent MVP in the first eight games.

The unpredictable breakthrough and the elusive pass made the French team's internal line jump, and Seraphim, who was good at helping defense, couldn't parry, so he took the opportunity to score again and again.

"Did your grandmother teach you basketball?"

Zhang Yu shook Batum away again, hit a mid-range shot, and continued to launch taunt skills at the opponent. At this time, it was the last minute of the third quarter, and the Chinese team that shot this shot was 48-40, leading by eight points. Batum's mentality has been completely unbalanced, and he was frequently beaten by Zhang Yu on the offensive end, and this sentence became the fuse of his anger.

I saw Batum use his bare and shiny head to use his bare and shiny head to Zhang Yu without a teacher, and the whole action vaguely saw the shadow of another French bald head in the 06 World Cup.

Zhang Yu had been prepared for a long time, and of course he had to be prepared to be beaten when he said trash. I saw him turn around deftly, dodge Batum's blow, and moved two steps in the direction of the referee by the way.

The referee was not blind, took a big step forward, separated the players of the two teams, pointed to Batum off the court, and directly awarded a physical foul to expel him from the game.

Before the referee's gesture was finished, Batum had already turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel, without communicating with anyone, and he took off the elbow pad in his hand and threw it into the corridor.

Zhang Yu looked at Batum's lonely back, for some reason, there was a trace of regret in his heart, since the other party had lost his cool, there was no need for him to add fuel to the fire, did he do it too much this time?

The morale of the French team that lost Batum became more and more low, and the loss of strength was irreparable.

In the last quarter, the French team's performance was very bad, and the Chinese team saw victory in the last quarter, fearing that the French team would retaliate, and replaced Zhang Yu early.

By the end of the game, the scoreboard showed the score at 68-56, and the Chinese team won the game by 12 points.

In this game, Zhang Yu did not start to break out until the last three minutes of the first half, and only scored one point by free throws before. But by the end of the game, he still had 22 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, and continued to lead the scoring list and MVP list with an absolute advantage.

Zhang Yu's outstanding performance also enabled the Chinese team to advance to the quarter-finals with a complete group victory, and their opponent will be the weakest team in Group B, Canada. Judging from the current state of the Chinese team and Zhang Yu, the promotion of the Chinese team is already a certainty, and the weak Canadian team cannot stop the Chinese team with Zhang Yu.

At the end of the game this time, Li Chunjiang did not bring Zhang Yu to the press conference, who knows if he will take Batum off the field by the French team, in case Zhang Yu will come to two more choking words, adding unnecessary trouble.

However, contrary to his expectations, the coach of the French team praised Zhang Yu at the post-match press conference and praised his appearance. In the game, Batum was sent off for trying to use Zhang Yu on his head, but he didn't talk about it outside the court.

Although the reporters were very interested, and another Frenchman showed his bald head to attack his opponent in the world competition, but the person concerned never mentioned it, and they could only guess the reason for it, which was more anxious than a kitten seeing a fish that could not be eaten. Zhang Yu learned about Batum's father after the game, although he regretted that he used excessive trash talk, but it was absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to apologize!

August 7, 2007, the first round of the knockout round, China VS Canada.

This round was considered the least suspenseful of the four rounds, so it was scheduled for the first one.

At this year's World Junior Championships, Canada did not have a single player in the team who showed star quality. Their number one player, Robert Thackeray, is averaging just 9.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 blocks per game so far.

With the exception of Thackeray, Canada has no player who can handle it.

On the other hand, the Chinese team, Zhang Yu has a dazzling number of seven games, averaging 29.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.3 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game. Even Xu Yong, the second leader of the Chinese team, also averaged 18.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, ranking in the top 10 of the MVP list.

"The Chinese team is very strong, especially their number two position, but we are not weak either! Basketball is a five-player sport, and we'll do our best to win the game, even if everyone doesn't think of us."

The captain of the Canadian team, center Thackeray, said with momentum when facing his own media.

"Thackeray? Who's that? ”

That's what fans all over the world are asking......
