Despite being the most forward, he was still caught up by TJ Ford when he just rushed to the opposite three-point line, and a rush around the front defense stuck Sakuragi Hanamichi, for Sakuragi, who had poor ball handling, the ball could only be stopped.

If you don't have the ability to hold the ball, you won't hold the ball, and if you hold the ball firmly with both hands, you will never be given a chance to steal.

Sakuragi Hanamichi belongs to the type that will never hide his shortcomings.,The brain is very straightforward.,I'm just holding the ball badly.,What's there to hide? Foul on ball handler?

If you can win, you can win!

Fortunately, Lin Dong, who shook off Bosh and followed the answer, was also fast enough, and at this time, he had already rushed past the two to the basket, and Wade, who could be caught up from the wing, also appeared under the basket in time.

In terms of speed alone, whether it is TJ Ford or Wade, who did not remove the meniscus in college, they are obviously still above Lin Dong.

Although Bosh couldn't keep up with Lin Dong, Wade could, this supplement defense was just right, and he did his best to intercept Lin Dong's side.

A gleam flashed in Wade's eyes, and he tried his best to squeeze together with Lin Dong.

Want to catch the ball? It's not that easy!

Can be ...... in the next second

"Give it to me!"

A guy who was noticeably slower than Wade and the others appeared in Sakuragi Hanamichi's sight.

It was Rukawa Kaede who was let go by Wade.

3 points of large vacancy!

Sakuragi Hanamichi subconsciously threw the ball over.

Wade's face in front of him changed, and TJ Ford immediately abandoned Sakuragi and rushed towards Rukawa Kaede.

But with a height of 180 centimeters, and more than a meter away, Rukawa Kaede is so fast at this time that it doesn't look like the shooting speed of a normal pitcher......

TJ Ford pounced, and if he hadn't stopped in time, he would have been charged a 3-point foul.

Basketball, on the other hand, draws a graceful arc in the air.

Swish!

The goal is scored, 65:62, and the international team overtakes!

The arena became silent at this moment, and many people couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

From the beginning of the second half, everyone felt that these Asians were going to give up surrendering, to the original 6-point advantage of the American team was tied, and then to the current 3-point overtake, these Asians only took about 3 minutes.

And the Asian who pouted and dribbled in the first half, making the whole stadium laugh, has already scored 10 points!

Younas, who was on the sidelines, was also dumbfounded, and frankly said that when he promised to let this Asian team go up to try, he thought that the best result was that the Asian team could score two or three three-pointers, barely helping to bite the score, after all, the 3-point shooting rate of these Asians is really good, which is the biggest highlight when they compare with the European team.

Then take the opportunity to rest the European players on the sidelines, as long as Sofculis recovers a little more energy, and Dacomi Milicic also regains the courage of the opening game, then with the help of this inside twin towers, the international team can once again fight the United States team under the basket, so as to stabilize the last few minutes of the third quarter

As long as the score difference is maintained between 5 and 8 points before the end of the third quarter, the game can be dragged out until the fourth quarter, which can be safely handed over to Lin Dong to take over.

But what did these Asians do?

They managed to win in 3 minutes! Wiped the ass of these Europeans whom Younas values more!

OMG...... Younas's open mouth was a little closed for a moment.

The U.S. team's offense was still efficient and fast, and after Wade got rid of Kaede Rukawa, he hit a 3-pointer from the outside.

The basketball carried the hearts of the reporters on the sidelines for four or five turns, and finally 'difficult' drilled into the net, which made the reporters' hanging hearts fall to the ground and breathe a sigh of relief.

65 flat.

And turning around, Rukawa Kaede continued to seek a block with Lin Dong, but Wade's close pressing made him never find a chance, although Lin Dong's strong burst attracted Kwame Brown and successfully distributed the ball to Zhu Fangyu, but Anthony gave up Sakuragi Hanamichi to make up for the defense.

Zhu Fangyu made a somewhat reluctant 3-pointer, and he couldn't score under Anthony's defense, but fortunately there was Sakuragi, who suddenly came out from the bottom left corner, and then under the eyes of Kwame Brown and Bosh, who were stuck in Lin Dong and waiting for the basketball to bounce out, the ball was slammed into the basket.

It's that 10th again!

The old K on the sidelines raised his eyebrows slightly.

People who watch the game now, including those reporters who know a little bit about football, may be attracted by Lin Dong, who is constantly breaking through the attraction package, or No. 11, who has three consecutive 3-point points on the outside, and thinks that they are the biggest contributors to the international team's ability to overtake the score in a short period of time.

But actually...... No.

It's not that the role of the two of them is not important, but in fact, everyone ignores this number 10!

From the beginning of the game, he stole the ball from Kwame Brown and then gave a brilliant assist;

to the point where he kept pulling Anthony around and creating a certain amount of confusion on the defensive end of the U.S. team;

to Anthony, who has a strong ability to steal singles in one-on-one defense;

Finally, to the basket that slips the bottom line at this time.

In fact, during the period when the international team came up in the second half and began to chase points, the red-haired No. 10 has been doing a lot of useful things, if you have to rank a credit book for the international team's chasing points, Lao K feels that Lin Dong's starting point for all the organizations is the undisputed first credit, but compared to the 3 3 3 points of the 11th, this red-haired kid may be the second biggest hero, it is conceivable that if he didn't steal the ball from Kwame Brown, then there may be no 11th at all. Even Younas has been replaced.

This one...... Magical number 10!

…… As the game continued on the court, the U.S. offense looked fine, and TJ Ford set up Anthony to finally get his wish for a dunk on the top of the redhead.

Anthony's idea was simple, he was going to hit the bug-like 10 hard.

What a grade! Dare to break my ball, and dare to be so active on the court?!

So the buckle just now was also extremely violent, and the No. 10 buckle was overturned to the ground, as if it was dominating the world.

But to Anthony's disappointment, the guy who got up from the ground did not show the fear and respect in his eyes, but burned a raging fire at him.

"Good fellows! That's a good trick, I'm going to have one too! Sakuragi Hanamichi screamed, quickly picked up the baseline ball and threw it out.

The fierce and jubilant appearance of the dragon made Anthony stunned.

Is this guy still a little ashamed?

How does this Nima look like a person who has just been sequestered? It's as if he's shackled someone else!

Thereupon......

Lin Dong held the ball, and Rukawa Feng and Zhu Fangyu continued to be locked by the American team, which had a complete insight into their intentions.

Normal, the gap in strength is here, Lin Dong changed this lineup, it was just a wave of play and delayed time, not to mention that there is another point in the international team now!

Pulling all the way to Petrus at the bottom line on the right side.

Defending Petrus is T.J. Ford, and the difference in height between the two is destined to make it difficult for Petrus to shoot at a fixed point, at most there is a moving obstacle in front of him.

Petrus jumped high against TJ Ford's defense and threw the ball out of a supreme spot that TJ Ford would never have been able to reach.

It's a pity......

The Europeans are probably a little inaccurate today, not only the previous 3-point shooting rate of Alexander and others is extremely low, but even Petrus's 3-point shot from the bottom line, which is not very difficult, is actually crooked and bounces on the left side of the basket.

At this time, Lin Dong was near the free throw line, one step around the left, and Kwame Brown, who was closest to his left, immediately opened his arms to block and pulled him behind him, preferring not to grab this rebound to block him, after all, the American team is not the only one who can grab rebounds!

Backboard!

With Sakuragi Hanamichi's current experience in grabbing rebounds, the judgment of the landing point after the ball bounced was quite accurate, and he rushed to the rebound position as soon as possible.

But this time the U.S. team was not unresponsive.

Everyone obviously noticed the movement of the redhead No. 10, and this guy successfully used his previous performances to change from a small transparent in the eyes of the American generals to a guy worth watching.

Want to pick up a bargain again? It's not that easy!

Bosh was the first to go up.

With a height of 208 cm and a figure of 101kg, although he is thin and tall, he still makes Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is only 192 cm, look like a schoolboy in front of him.

Two people like this grab rebounds?

The moment Bosh came up, he had already sunk his center of gravity for the first time, and wanted to squeeze Sakuragi Hanamichi out of the rebounding position, although he had an absolute height and arm span advantage, but why did he have to jump if he could pick up the ball?

But what surprised him was...... When his body began to exert force, Bosh was suddenly taken aback.

Can't squeeze in? No, it's not a matter of not being able to squeeze in......

- Sakuragi, what you are most worthy of our expectations is your defense and rebounding, do what you are good at, don't forget, the Mori Shigekuan who went on a rampage in the NSAA in the United States was also planted in the hands of Ling!

Bosh is certainly not the kind of level inside line that Mori Shigekuan encountered at Lanfil High School, but strength is strength, and characteristics are characteristics.

Truth be told, Bosh in high school was better at shooting and nimble footwork, so much so that he made it clear in his scouting report in the '03 draft: Chris needs to gain weight and increase upper body strength because he often suffers under the basket against other interior players......

Sakuragi Hanamichi was glaring at this time.

This guy is only 101 kilograms, and Mori Shigekuan, who is heavier than him, is squeezed himself, afraid that he is a bird!

At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi burst with green tendons, stuck on Bosh's waist and suddenly exerted force.

Bosh originally wanted to squeeze this 'little guy', but he didn't expect to squeeze it, but because he was the first to strike, when the reaction force came, with the boy's sudden brute force, he almost overturned him directly.

Bosh's left leg was visibly cocked, and he staggered to the right, staggering under his feet.

Immediately after, Sakuragi Hanamichi only jumped slightly, easily picked off the basketball that bounced over, and then quickly threw it into the hands of Petrus, who was shouting.

How could Petrus have imagined that this missed opportunity could be regained?

And TJ Ford and the others were still immersed in the shock that Bosh was almost overturned by a 192-centimeter small man, and they opened their mouths wide one by one, a little unconscious.

Petrus didn't let the chance slip away again this time and hit another 3-pointer.

Goal in, 68:65!

Buzz Buzz ......

"The No. 10 ......"

"That redhead ......"

"The Japanese ......"

Although I don't know what I'm talking about, the key words such as No. 10, red, and Japan can still be understood by Sakuragi Hanamichi.

These guys are talking about themselves.

- Sakuragi, Rukawa, you must calm down when you go, there is a fact that may make you uncomfortable, no matter how strong you are in Japan, but the level of basketball in Japan is completely insufficient to see among the world's top players like the Nike Summit...... The Basketball Association was able to win these two spots, and it did cost a lot of money at the beginning, and it also had a background relationship with the NBA.

So, it doesn't matter if you're ridiculed, it's okay if you're looked down upon, it's okay if you're ignored, remember, you're here to learn, to learn the world's most advanced basketball philosophy, to get in touch with the best players in the world. As long as you study hard, one day, you can get their attention, and you can also impress them!

- Sakuragi! Come on! It's okay if you lose, you're the first Japanese to enter the Nike Summit to play! You have to appear, I'll cheer you on in front of the TV with my brother!

- Hahaha! Hanamichi, if you want to score 1 point, or you can get a rebound! You must fight hard, let's work hard this winter vacation, and next time, we will go to the United States to cheer you on!

The words of Daddy Anzai, Haruko's words, and the words of the Sakuragi Army before leaving Japan were constantly echoing in Sakuragi Hanamichi's ears at this time.

I think of being ignored by Younas after I entered the international team, to hiding in the toilet just to let Payton accept him to stay in the arena to study, to being pressed on the bench by Younas, and I don't even know if I can fulfill my wish to let Haruko see it on TV......

Finally, until this time, the voices around him were clearly talking about him.

Those who are high up and above are afraid of him, afraid of him, worried about him!

Sakuragi suddenly felt a little like crying for no reason.

But he knew he couldn't cry.

"Whoaaaa He vented his emotions squeezing under his optimistic expression with a roar, blinked his eyes fiercely, and then quickly retreated as he roared at the American team, "Come on! You guys! I'm not going to lose to you! ”
