The Asian civil war was not as exciting as fans imagined, because Zhang Yu was resting in this game and did not play at all.

After six games in a row, Zhang Yu's excellent number in each game corresponds to his body that has been strictly consumed, for a young player who has just turned 17 years old, Zhang Yu's body has reached a critical point at this moment. Now that the Chinese team has qualified ahead of schedule and is facing the weakest opponent in the group, the South Korean team, Li Chunjiang chose to let Zhang Yu rest.

The Chinese team without Zhang Yu suddenly dropped one level in strength, and it was not easy to face the weakest South Korean team in the group, and it was even 2 points behind after halftime.

The half-time deficit woke up the Chinese team, of course, there was the paralysis brought about by the winning streak, and the players were too underestimated, but it also made them realize that if there was no Zhang Yu, the strength of the Chinese team would not have improved much compared with previous years. Just like once there is no Yao Ming in the senior national team, the strength of the Chinese team will immediately drop a notch. Zhang Yu's role in the youth team at this time is the same as Yao Ming's role in the senior team.

In the second half, the Chinese team corrected the attitude of the game and gradually regained the momentum, and finally the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 68-64, only four points.

This victory did not come easily, the South Korean team still had a chance to win at the last moment, and the Chinese team could only be regarded as a narrow victory.

Xu Yong once again played the core position in this game, and the players of the South Korean team were generally not physically high, which gave him room to play, frequently broke through the inside line of the South Korean team, and scored 22 points and 7 rebounds in the whole game.

After playing the match with South Korea, the Chinese team has won four consecutive games in the group, which is the same as the French team, which also won four consecutive games.

According to the rules of the World Youth Championship, if there are teams with the same winning percentage in the group stage, then the small points will be counted. The Chinese team did not get enough points in the last game against the South Korean team, so they are temporarily ranked second. In third and fourth place are Spain and Brazil, respectively, and these four teams have the best chance of qualifying. Among them, the Chinese team and the French team have already qualified in advance, and the next two teams will play each other, mainly to compete for the first place in the group.

The French team is balanced both inside and outside, with center Alexi Akinsa, power forward Kevin Seraphim, and small forward Nicolas Batum, who form the cornerstone of France's victory. Among them, the outside battle between Batum and Zhang Yu will become the biggest attraction of this round.

Batum is 2.03cm tall, has a first-class physique, and has a well-rounded technique, although he does not have any special outstanding, but his ball-handling ability and organization and passing are quite good, as well as a good three-point hand, and his defensive awareness is also excellent. He averaged 15.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game at this World Junior Championships. In the eyes of the media, he is a poor version of Zhang Yu, and this game is his chance, because the French team will definitely use him to limit Zhang Yu, and if he can limit the best players in this World Youth Championship, he will definitely fill in a heavy sum for his NBA draft next year.

On August 1, 2007, at 13:30 Serbian time and 19:30 Beijing time, the last game of the second round of the group stage, the Chinese team against the French team will start soon.

At half past seven o'clock in the evening Beijing time, it was the end of the news broadcast, and many people today turned the channel to the Central Channel 5 after the news broadcast ended, and watched the game that had just been introduced in the news broadcast.

The players of the two teams have already warmed up, and the cameraman has aimed half of the cameras at Zhang Yu of the Chinese team. This is not only the reason why Zhang Yu played well in this World Youth Championships, but also because Zhang Yu is handsome, although he is only 17 years old, he is already a handsome guy. In addition, his body proportions are very good and he looks heroic, and many women in China who don't usually watch football have begun to pay attention to him.

At this time, Director Sun's voice came from the TV: "Hello everyone, the game will start immediately, let's introduce the shape of the two groups first." Prior to this match, the other group had all the matches in Group B, with the United States undoubtedly topping Group B, followed by hosts Serbia and Italy and Canada. The third and fourth places in Group A have also been decided, with Spain in third place and Brazil in fourth, while Nigeria and South Korea have been eliminated. The outcome of this match between China and France will determine the ranking of the first and second places in Group A. The top-ranked team, in the quarter-finals, will face Canada, the weakest team in Group B, and have a better chance of winning and qualifying. If you face Italy, who are third in Group B, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to qualify. I believe that the two teams will not save their strength because they have already qualified ahead of schedule tonight, and will definitely go all out to grab the first place in this group. ”

As Coach Sun finished introducing the group shape of the two teams, the live game has begun.

The Chinese team jumped the ball, and there was no need to think about the ending at all, Su Wei was defeated again, and the players of the Chinese team had already stepped back to defend before they started jumping the ball.

Su Wei had a black line on his face and resentful eyes, staring straight at the French center Atkinsa opposite.

Born in 1988, Atkinsa is 210cm tall and weighs 215 pounds, and can run, jump, and even kiss the basket. The big man also has good agility and physical flexibility, comes from a small forward, and his skills are not bad among big men, and he is about to participate in next year's NBA draft.

At the beginning of the game, Akinsa easily dialed the basketball, and the French team took the lead in attacking.

The French team is a little similar to the Chinese team, and their shortcomings are also in the point guard. Their point guard Blakeley, whose strength ranks in the middle and lower reaches of the No. 1 position in this World Youth Championships, is not much better than Yang Qin of the Chinese team, which is good news for the Chinese team, and finally does not have to worry about the point guard being blown up by the opponent again.

The shortcomings of the point guard make the French team, like the Chinese team, the organizational work be replaced by outstanding players in other positions. The Chinese team relied on Zhang Yu to organize the attack, while the French team relied on Batum.

Batum received a pass from the point guard outside the three-point line, and it was Xu Yong who defended him. Batum's strength has not been good, which has a lot to do with his weak size. Even after four or five seasons in the NPA, his weight has been hovering around 200 pounds, which is obviously a bit thin for a small forward who is 203cm tall.

Xu Yong has always been unafraid of opponents who are weaker than him, so he is very confident in the face of Batum, and he also said in the team before the game that he would limit Batum. However, he obviously underestimated Batum, although Batum's strength is not good, it does not mean that his confrontation is not good. There is a type of player called the bone type, such as the wolf king Garnett, the early wolf king is not heavy enough, but the confrontation is not bad, that body of bones is sometimes more lethal than large muscles, and it is better to lift people than large muscles.

Batum leaned on Xu Yong, Xu Yong suddenly felt that the position where the two were in contact seemed to be hit by a stick, and couldn't help but take a big step back, losing his defensive position, Batum saw this and immediately broke through with the ball, rushed to make a mid-range jumper before the defender, and scored a basketball cricket.
