The next opponent of the Chinese team is the United States, and Li Chunjiang has been thinking about it for the past few days, and he can't think of a way to win even after racking his brains.

Originally, the strength was not as good as that of the United States, but fortunately, there was an outside line composed of Zhang Yu and Xu Yong, and they could fight to lose a few points. It's not that it's cowardice before fighting, it's really that the Chinese team, regardless of all ages, plays against the United States, and it is rare for them to lose by less than 20 points.

But after the game with Serbia, the discord between the two made him lose the important chips in his hand, and the goal of losing 20 points was almost unattainable, which made Li Chunjiang sad.

On the afternoon of the end of the match with Serbia, Li Chunjiang immediately found the two to talk. was worried that the conflict between the two would expand, so the room where the two lived was also separated. In case the two of them make a move in the room, the picture is too beautiful to imagine......

Splitting the room between the two will not solve the problem. Li Chunjiang thought about how to deal with the relationship between the two. In the match with Serbia, Xu Yong obviously regarded himself as the core. When Li Chunjiang arranged the tactics, he had already made it clear enough that the distribution of the ball should be led by Zhang Yu. But as soon as Xu Yong received the ball, he rarely passed it back to Zhang Yu's hands, and basically attacked by himself. In the last game, he had a low shooting percentage, but he made a team-high number of shots, hitting just 8 of 22 shots. Compared with Zhang Yu's high efficiency, Xu Yong undoubtedly wasted many opportunities that should have scored, and the loss had something to do with it.

One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, everything is like this, one person must admit defeat and hand over the ball! Choose Zhang Yu or Xu Yong? The answer doesn't need to be considered at all!

Li Chunjiang put down the tactical board, and he had already made a decision in his heart. Xu Yong, a player, must be beaten well. The day after tomorrow is the match against the American team, and a training match will be arranged in the afternoon, and the two will be put together to see the effect. The role of this training match is to clarify the status of the two. At that time, Xu Yong's acquaintance was fine, and if he messed around, he would only be put in the position of the sixth person.

In the training match, Zhang Yu continued to play point guard, and his actual height has actually reached 197cm, which is 1cm taller than the physical test a few months ago. His height advantage allows him to have a wider line of sight than the average point guard, and can often pass wide areas to the other side of the defense.

Xu Yong was suddenly pulled into the room by the head coach in the morning, and when he learned of the coach's decision, his feelings were not high, and he was listless on the field.

In the past, when Xu Yong held the ball, his first choice was to attack with the ball by himself, which was his core treatment. Now Li Chunjiang asked him to observe his teammates first, that is, Zhang Yu's position. Once Zhang Yu reaches out for the ball, he must pass it. Xu Yong resisted this, but Li Chunjiang privately warned him that if he played like this again, his starting position would be canceled.

Zhang Yu didn't know this, although that was his purpose. Zhang Yu stretched out his hand on the side to ask, Xu Yong hesitated, thought about his starting position, and reluctantly passed it over. This pass also means that he acquiesced to Zhang Yu's status, even if he was reluctant. After receiving the ball, Zhang Yu got rid of Yang Qin by covering and scored a dry jump shot. Li Chunjiang applauded from the audience, signaling that Zhang Yutou was beautiful, and Xu Yong was depressed alone.

The two days passed quickly, and the match between China and the United States was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Serbian time and 8:30 p.m. Beijing time.

About 8,000 Chinese fans were in attendance to cheer for the home team.

The stadium can accommodate 18,000 people, of which 5,000 tickets were distributed to the United States, 5,000 to China, and the rest were sold to neutral fans. But today there are only more than 3,000 American fans in attendance, and it is obvious that the United States people do not attach much importance to the youth team's games, and many tickets have been bought by Chinese fans at high prices, making the Chinese team have more than 8,000 fans present.

In the first game of each team, the Chinese team's No. 14 Zhang Yubiao Xiàn was the best. He was already being watched by a number of NBA scouts, who were originally coming to watch the U.S. team Michael Beasley, Jonny Flynn, Stephen Curry and others. Now they have one more task, by the way, to observe the No. 14 Zhang Yu of the Chinese team.

As for Xu Yong, another player of the Chinese team, American scouts obviously don't pay attention. At this moment, Xu Yong will only use his body to play, and the NCAA doesn't know how many of them are like Xu Yong, and he is much stronger than his body. Even Zhang Yu, who has a better physique, is nothing amazing in the eyes of this group of American scouts, and the United States will produce some every year. Scouts are looking at his ball sense, ball intelligence and technique, which are more due to talent and limited improvement.

In this year's U.S. youth team, there are many American players whose physique is not weaker than Zhang Yu, and some are even higher than Zhang Yu's physique. For example, the number one star of their team, Michael Beasley, is physically perverted, and most of the scouts present are here for him.

Most of the players on the U.S. team are NCAA stars, led by Michael Beasley. Beasley has the best swing figure, good dribbling skills and projection, and of course, his excellent physicality and explosiveness have also carved him out on the inside. He is 205cm tall, weighs 220 pounds, and plays as a small forward. In the last game, Beasley scored 22 points, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, showing that he also has good outside shooting skills and all-round offensive ability.

The starting point guard for the U.S. team, Jonny Flynn, is a very fast point guard who prefers individual scoring, but is also able to motivate his teammates. In the last game, the Chinese team faced Stefan, who was even inferior to him, and had to rely on Zhang Yu's misplaced defense, and today facing the faster Flynn, you can imagine what will happen.

Stephen Curry, the U.S. team's top scorer, is an excellent two-way position. At point guard, he has a very high basketball IQ and can connect the team and provide assists to his teammates. At the No. 2 position, he can shoot accurately from mid-to-long range and can also break through. He is the son of NBA 80s marksman Dele Curry and a star player in the NCAA this season.

These three players are the best in the U.S. team, but that doesn't mean the other players are weak. In fact, even the substitutes of the U.S. team are mostly first-round players in the NBA draft two years after tomorrow, and the overall strength can be called terrifying.

In this game, Li Chunjiang did not arrange Zhang Yu's dislocation defense, and no matter how good Zhang Yu's defensive ability was, he couldn't prevent Flynn who was 183cm tall. He returned to the number two position and his main task was to score. In the face of the American team, the Chinese team can't defend against it, and only expects the offense to play, so as not to lose too ugly.

Today, CCTV is still broadcasting this game live, commenting on Sun Zhengping and guest Zhang Weiping.

In the studio, while the two teams were warming up, Sun Zhengping suddenly asked: "Today, the Chinese team is going to face the world's No. 1 basketball power, the United States, please give the Chinese team advice." ”

"For China to win, it only needs two points. First, score more goals yourself; Second, don't let the opponent score. ”

"Okay, Director Zhang hit the nail on the head!"
