Chapter 498 Home Alone
At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team led Italy by 11 points by virtue of the matchup advantage between Bai Jidong and Yao Yueban.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yunus temporarily rested the two core players and sent young Yi Jianlian and Tang Zhendong.

The result was disappointing. The two failed to support the overall situation. Tang Zhendong's low-post attack was completely ineffective against Italy.

Italy beat Tang Zhendong helplessly by defending around the front and jumping outside the big pitcher.

In the back, Yi Jianlian was overwhelmed by the stronger Italian insider.

The advantage of 11 points was chased by Italy to 5 points within a few minutes. Yunus hurriedly replaced Bai Jidong and Zhao Li at the same time.

"The 17-year-old Zhao Li comes from St. John's College in the United States. He is the youngest player in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team. Strictly speaking, he will officially turn 17 in a few months. What a hero!" Jia sighed.

Chen Qi, who was sitting in Yu Jia, knew Zhao Li very well, "I know this kid, he is the first player from Dream Academy to study in the United States, and he is quite famous in American high schools."

Zhao Li didn't expect that he would make his debut in the World Championships so soon, and he would have to face adults who were many years older than him.

Bai Jidong said: "Don't worry about me, just be yourself."

He also said this to Liu Wei, and now he also said it to Zhao Li.

Many people think that Bai Jidong will destroy the defenders around him, but it is not true.

As long as they can control the scene, Bai Jidong can play without the ball.

In order to adapt to the new role, Bai Weidong has practiced a beautiful off-ball support, even without the ball, he can organize his teammates.At the same time, his off-ball movement is also quite good.

Just as Zhao Ligang came on the field, Italy's point guard was still the seasoned Modedan.

Even if the opponent was a child, Modedan showed no mercy.

Zhao Li controlled the ball steadily, and Modedan was about to let him experience the confrontation of adults, but Zhao Li passed the ball from his crotch and sent a crotch-piercing hit to the ground that amazed the audience.

Bai Jidong caught Zhao Li's pass, turned around and got up without extra movement, and scored a jumper.

Belinelli was helpless, he tried his best to defend, but he couldn't stop Bai Jidong's attack.

Judging from the strength of FIBA, outside of the United States, there is no striker in the world who can stop Bai Jidong.

If you want to defeat China, you can't take defense against Bai Jidong as a premise, you have to come up with a better attack than China.

That's what Belinelli thought. He moved very cleverly. Instead of competing with Bai Jidong, he sought help from his teammates, so he ran out of the open space again.

Belinelli stepped on the three-point line and made a shot.

"This kind of open space cannot be given. European teams are like this. The more you give him a chance, the more he can score." Chen Qi said, "The defense of the Chinese team needs to be strengthened."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "It depends on Bai Jidong's skill."

"Yes, Bai Jidong can strengthen the Chinese team's perimeter defense to the greatest extent." Chen Qi said.

"Little guy, I don't care how old you are, you know? I'll make your death ugly."

Modedan utters trash talk.Zhao Li pretended not to understand and asked Yi Jianlian to pick and roll.

Modedan didn't expect him to dare to break into the inside line.

With his thin body, how can he get a chance to score in the paint?This is definitely death!Modai Dan waited to see Zhao Li being knocked down by his teammates.

However, Zhao Li did not fall to the ground. He avoided the confrontation, raised the arc of the shot, bypassed the inside block, and made a hit.

Very American style of play, as long as there is a chance, he will definitely shoot, and will make various responses to the defender's defense.

Zhao Li still plays in an academic style, but the years of training in the United States have left a very deep American imprint on his personal style.

Zhao Li's goal was surprising, Bai Jidong patted his butt, "Good shot!"

Belinelli is very good at using inside pick-and-rolls, and Bai Jidong has already suffered a few times.

This time, he wanted Belinelli to know that his defense was not so easy.

Belinelli repeated the same trick, still playing with Mason.

Mason gave him a pick-and-roll, but Bai Jidong passed Mason's cover sideways, caught up to Belinelli, put on a big hat, and shouted: "Game time is over, Spaghetti!"

"What did you say?" Belinelli didn't understand.

"You are the first person to be nicknamed by me without entering the NBA. You should feel honored." Bai Jidong said, "Spaghetti, this nickname is especially suitable for you. When I saw your hair, I thought it would be difficult to get it." Swallowed spaghetti."

"The pasta is delicious," Belinelli retorted.

Italy prepares for a throw-in.

Zhao Li stared at Modedan, they seemed to be preparing for a complex coordination.

Time is running out, the catch must be shot.

Zhao Li went over the surface of the tactics and got an insight into the essence.

Many complicated things are actually not complicated, but we think it too complicated.

This will surely become Zhao Li's shining point in the World Championships. He first saw through Italy's serving tactics, then steals the ball and makes a long pass to Bai Jidong, who dribbles and dunks, pulling the point difference to 9 points.

Bai Jidong stretched out a finger, "Good pass!"

"Good slam dunk!" Zhao Li imitated Bai Jidong's way of speaking, and added the word "good" in front of slam dunk.

"Not bad, I feel like playing for the Timberwolves." Bai Jidong laughed.

Zhao Li smiled shyly, "I still have to learn more from Uncle Wolf."

"It's already pretty good, you pissed that Italian guy across from you to death." Bai Jidong said.

Zhao Li said lightly: "I don't care about that, making him unhappy is the greatest affirmation for me."

Modedan's expression was very ugly: "Boy, you pissed me off."

"It doesn't exist that I made you angry. You are angry because you were angry because a child intercepted the ball. Is that what the Italians are capable of?" Zhao Li accused Modedan categorically.

Modedan laughed angrily: "Very well, I have another reason to kill you!"

Against Zhao Li, Modedan's figure is a huge advantage.

Zhao Li struggled to hold on.

Seeing Zhao Li Ding blushing, Bai Jidong quietly touched it, ready to attack Mo Daidan.

"Little kid should stay at school and beat your "Hello, me, hello everyone" high school game! This is the world of grown-ups, this is the battlefield, and the battlefield will kill people!"

Modaidan was about to hit Zhao Li with all his strength, but the ball slipped from his hand.

Bai Jidong suddenly attacked and stole Modaidan's ball, Zhao Li chased after him.

Bai Jidong deliberately slowed down to let Zhao Li follow up, and then passed the ball to him.

Zhao Li took the ball and made a three-step layup, widening the point difference to 11 points.

Zhao Li looked back, and Mo Daidan's expression became even more embarrassing.

Zhao Li walked towards him and said, "If you haven't watched "Home Alone", then I solemnly recommend this movie to you today. Self-righteous adults will die at the hands of smart little ghosts."

"Why do I feel that I don't need to play anymore?" Yao Yueban showed a very embarrassing expression.

Jonas patted him on the shoulder, "Yao, take a good rest. If the form doesn't change much, you can rest until the second half."

"Actually, I can persist. I feel good." Yao Yueban said.

Jonas said: "The chemical reaction on the court is very good now, just wait."

Will co-authoring me play ruin their chemistry?Yao Yueban is suffering. He is an NBA All-Star center. Although he is not as good as Bai Jidong, he is also the second man + inside core of the Chinese team. Why is he not as good as a 17-year-old brat?
Mo Daidan didn't dare to hit Zhao Li on his back again, because Bai Jidong's defense frightened him.

Bai Jidong's moving speed was so fast that his teammates didn't have time to remind him, if he did this a few more times, he would really become a sinner in this match.

Although Zhao Li is very upset, but now he can only suppress his anger.

Modedan is looking for teammates, and others are running.

The sharpshooter Bashilai ran out from one side, Modedan passed the ball, and Wang Shipeng closed his eyes to defend.

Bashilai missed a three-pointer, Yi Jianlian took off the rebound and threw it to Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong handed it to Zhao Li and shouted: "Xiao Yi, let's cooperate with Xiao Li."

"Oh!" Yi Jianlian asked, "How do I block it?"

"Just block it like that." Zhao Li blinked.

In fact, Yi Jianlian didn't fully understand what he meant, he just acted according to what he guessed.

Zhao Li originally wanted Yi Jianlian to block Wanren and take it apart, but Yi Jianlian cut inside.

Although it does not match his vision, Yi Jianlian's running position is very good, which is a good opportunity.

"it is good!"

Zhao Li pushed the ball into the air to help Yi Jianlian lift off.

Yi Jianlian's physical fitness was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, he grabbed the ball in the air, slashed hard, and blasted into the basket.

"That's great!" Bai Jidong nodded secretly.

The two are very young, Yi Jianlian is in his early 20s, and Zhao Li is less than 17 years old.

People of his generation will retire from the stage sooner or later, and the future of the Chinese team belongs to Yi Jianlian and Zhao Li.

Bai Jidong is very relieved to entrust the future to these two people.

Of course, it's too early to say this now.

Bai Jidong clapped his hands and shouted: "Don't be careless, prevent them from scoring another goal, think about how bad the pasta is, and how ugly their three-pointers are, guard them, don't let them make three-pointers again Already!"

"Okay!" Everyone responded together.

Modanda's mentality has changed, sharpshooter Baxilai has encountered Wang Shipeng's deadly defense, and supernova Belinelli is also under the shadow of Bai Jidong.

The three musketeers on the outside of Italy were all locked up and could only seek a breakthrough inside.

Mason hit Yi Jianlian with his back, turned around and hooked, and scored.

This attack helped Italy recover some blood.
