Chapter 219 Youth Competition (36)

After swaying past Fatty Zhang, Cole easily sent the ball into the basket.

Li Yifan on the sidelines frowned, Fatty Zhang is very strange today.Cole's performance just now was not particularly outstanding, but he was easily deceived.Although Cole may be slightly superior in terms of strength, Fatty Zhang's performance today is really a bit abnormal!
The game continues.

The Huaxia Youth Training Team attacked.After two duels with Green, Long Xun was no longer obsessed with breakthroughs, and had the opportunity to immediately pass the basketball in his hand, and actively covered Wang Siyang to shoot a three-pointer.

Wang Siyang from the outside line successfully hit two three-pointers under the cover of Long Xun. Small forward Jiang Dongyu has always been the biggest highlight of the Huaxia Youth Training Team.Although sometimes a bit reckless, compared to his scoring, his performance is obviously very outstanding.

The performance of the other two players can be called extremely bad.As the core of the inside defense, Zhang Shaolong and Fatty Zhang were completely suppressed by the opponent. Under the pressure of the super center Cole of the US team, the rebound was completely controlled by the opponent.Fatty Zhang was especially horrible. Under his defense, the opponent's shots were not counted, and he was dunked by the opponent again and again.

At any time, the basket is the key to deciding the outcome. Without the basket, which is the decisive battlefield, the situation is gradually controlled by the opponent. The game progressed to No. 12 minutes, the score was 36:26, and the US team led by [-] points.Fatty Zhang fouled for the third time.

Li Yifan called a timeout.

Fatty Zhang drooped his head in despondency, holding the bottle tightly in his hand, but he didn't take a sip.Li Yifan stood quietly in front of Fatty Zhang and asked after a long time, "How do you feel about the competition?"

Fatty Zhang remained silent.

"Is the opponent very strong?"

Fatty Zhang grasped the bottle tightly, and the veins on his hands were exposed.

"What's the matter? Shocked by him? Are you scared?"

Fatty Zhang lowered his head deeply, without saying a word, his body trembling violently.He is suppressing.

"If I'm afraid, I can replace you. If you continue like this, you will only hinder everyone. How about it, do you want to be replaced?" The words became more and more harsh.

Fatty Zhang trembled even more, and the bottle in his hand was completely deformed.

"He doesn't take you seriously! He doesn't look down on you at all!" Continue to add fuel to the fire.

"Have you said enough!" Fatty Zhang couldn't hold back at last, raised his head, and roared at Li Yifan.

Looking at him with a smile, "You finally yelled out!"

Fatty Zhang and Li Yifan looked at each other for a while, then lowered their heads again, but clenched their fists even tighter.

Signaling the team members next to him to get out of the way, Li Yifan sat down beside Fatty Zhang.

"Scared, nervous, these are nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has nervous times, and many people will be afraid when they meet a strong enemy. The important thing is not to lose their fighting spirit!" Putting his hands on Zhang Fatty's shoulders, " Tell me, Fatty Zhang, do you want to continue this match?"

"Think!" Fatty Zhang blurted out without hesitation.

When meeting such an opponent for the first time, fear, nervousness, and frustration are all inevitable.

What you have to do now is not how to beat him, how to dunk on his head, these are temporarily unrealistic.

The first thing to do now is to calm down, use your strengths to protect the basket of the youth training team as in normal games.

Then, carefully observe the opponent's actions, compare the differences with what you do, keep in mind every attack and defense of the opponent, every shot and rebound, and think about how he did it.

You can try to learn his methods, or you can think about how to find his flaws.

Then, you will progress and make great strides.

With fear in mind, turn fear into courage, and challenge powerful enemies with a trembling body.That's the secret to progress. " Patted him on the shoulder again, " Got it? "

Fatty Zhang nodded heavily.

Turning around, he asked Zhang Shaolong who was sitting over there: "Did you hear what I Fan said just now?"

Zhang Shaolong nodded in embarrassment.

"Very well, you too!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and the timing was just right.

"Let's play!" Li Yifan said relaxedly while sitting on the chair, "The game has just begun."

"Play!" Fatty Zhang stood up first and shouted loudly.

Called Wang Siyang who was walking at the back, "Shoot a few more three-pointers to relieve their pressure."

"Don't worry!" Wang Siyang raised his thumb and said with a smile, "The instruction just now was wonderful!"

Li Yifan blushed.

"I can't tell, you're pretty good at it! You're bluffing people for a while." Jiang Dongyu said with a smile, "It seems that you are really fooled by the position of the coach!"

"What is bluffing, what Li Yifan said is true." Li Yifan shouted wronged.

"Come on!" Jiang Dongyu glanced at Li Yifan, Li Yifan was stunned and out of his wits by his charming appearance.Li Yifan came back to his senses only after Jiang Dongyu yelled coquettishly, and lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at her again.

Coach Xiangfeng in the stands looked at the re-entry of the Huaxia Youth Training Team members and couldn't help but secretly marveled at the vigor and vigor of the players. Does this little guy have a set?The big man, who was downcast just now, was full of fighting spirit in a blink of an eye.Although he has not been able to see Li Yifan's golf skills until now, he has already sighed that his trip was worthwhile.

"Shua!" Cole easily scored two free throws, and the score became 38:26, with the U.S. team leading by 16 points.This is also Cole's No. [-] points in this game.What a terrible guy, almost one person's scoring accounted for half of the US team.

It was the turn of the Huaxia Youth Training Team to attack.Long Xun passed the ball to Jiang Dongyu and then ran to the left of the three-point line.Jiang Dongyu, who was holding the ball, faced the ace forward Goering of the US team.

Goring stared at Jiang Dongyu. Jiang Dongyu couldn't see any emotional fluctuations on his face. He raised his hands, bowed his legs, and was about to shoot?Fake action!Goering concluded with certainty.

It was a shot. The moment Goring hesitated, Jiang Dongyu jumped up and made the shot!

The basketball bounced on the rim and narrowly entered the rim!What a mess.Li Yifan on the sidelines rolled his eyes helplessly, this guy would not pass the ball as long as he had a slight chance of shooting.Li Yifan is almost certain that if there is such an opportunity next time, he will definitely come again.

Jiang Dongyu spread his hands, shrugged, and went back to defense.Goering was left with a flushed face.

He is challenging his opponent.The stage of the World Youth Invitational made this arrogant and cold guy boil.To challenge stronger opponents and become stronger, this is the motivation for this guy to participate in the World Youth Invitational!The one who will be defeated in the end should be Li Yifan, whom he regards as the greatest enemy!

Li Yifan understood how difficult it was for this proud man when he confessed that he was not as good as Li Yifan.In such a short period of time, so much progress, no wonder!

It's the same for Long Xun.

28: 38.

Team USA attack.

After halftime the ball passed, Goring shouted to Green who was dealing with Long Xun: "Pass to Li Yifan!"

Hey, one-on-one duel?Another willful guy.

Ge Lin and Jiang Dongyu seemed to be talking about something.Out of curiosity, Li Yifan gathered his ears together to hear what they were talking about.

"I want you to understand who is the strongest striker on the court!" Goring said confidently.Jiang Dongyu didn't respond.

"Bastard, did you hear what Li Yifan said!" He gritted his teeth.

"You are so wordy." Jiang Dongyu said flatly, "Time is running out, hurry up!" Li Yifan is very sure that Jiang Dongyu is definitely not a sharp-tongued person, and Li Yifan is almost sure of his reminder It was out of goodwill, but even so, Li Yifan couldn't help but make fun of it, not to mention Goring, one of the parties involved.

Goering was really so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn boy, hate..."

Goering failed to get rid of Jiang Dongyu after several consecutive feints and began to calm down. He shifted his crotch to his left hand and bullied him. When Jiang Dongyu followed up, he suddenly turned around and shot through the small gap opened. The ball was in the basket. Didi spun on the basket for a long time before falling into the basket reluctantly.

Goring just breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Dongyu over there said thoughtfully, "It's a fluke!"

"Asshole, none of Li Yifan's balls were a fluke!"

"It's a fluke!" The expression was serious, very serious.

"no!"

"Yes!" Jiang Dongyu continued to insist.

"No!" Goering became annoyed.

"Whatever you want!" Jiang Dongyu spread his hands, with a cool expression on his face, he threw away Goering and attacked the US team's position.

"Haha..." Li Yifan on the sidelines finally couldn't help laughing wildly, it was really interesting.Jiang Dongyu looked at Li Yifan suspiciously: "Why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Li Yifan waved his hands hurriedly, covering his stomach, enduring the pain in his stomach caused by the wild laughter just now.Li Yifan finally understood one thing, not all cool men are really cruel by nature, at least the man in front of him is not.Half of Jiang Dongyu's coldness may be natural, but the other half is definitely because he is born an emotional idiot, and his understanding of the world is so slow that it is ridiculous.

So he would seriously discuss with his opponent whether it was a fluke, so when Fatty Zhang hugged him, he would show a condescending expression, so his only friend would be Chen Kunyong, because it was because of Chen Kunyong and He's just as dull.

Haha, it was so funny!cool guy?I see.

After discovering this secret, Jiang Dongyu's image suddenly became cute in Li Yifan's heart.

"28:38 The Huaxia Youth Training Team is ten points behind!" Johnson was a little surprised.

"Is the American team quite capable?" Bryant teased, "That guy Cole is really working hard." Cole was throwing off Fatty Zhang and rushing into the penalty area to grab a rebound.

"Which one is Li Yifan?" Ma Long asked in surprise, "Why didn't you see their ace player?"

"That's the guy who laughed so badly on the sidelines!" A voice mingled with laughter rang out in everyone's ears.

"Coach Xiangfeng?"

Obviously these old guys have an influence on Coach Xiangfeng.

"Why don't you have time to watch this game!"

"What do you think? Li Yifan can be considered my disciple!" Kobe said shamelessly.

"Get out!" Jordan yelled.

"Don't be ridiculous, you are watching those guys!" Coach Xiangfeng said, pointing at the American team.

"Yes!" Jordan shrugged.

"It's all your disciples!"

"Yeah! There's no way you are too good. To be honest, the third team was almost won by you, and the second team thought they could win, but I didn't expect you to be a strong enemy, so you just called the first team!" Kobe was helpless. stand hands.

"Funny, you guys!"

"We must win!"

"You'll know after watching, the fun is about to begin!" Coach Xiangfeng didn't argue.

On the court, the ball was still in the hands of the youth training team. In the rebound competition just now, Zhang Shaolong, who had been silent for a long time, finally showed his strength and grabbed the rebound first. This was also his first rebound of the game.

The ball was passed to Jiang Dongyu again, and after getting the ball, Jiang Dongyu really put on a shooting posture again. This time, Goring did not hesitate, and blocked the block immediately. Jiang Dongyu retracted the ball and moved his crotch to his left hand. Break through from the left.After getting rid of Goring, Jiang Dongyu went straight to the basket of the American team guarded by Cole. This guy really likes to fight hard!
Cole shook off Fatty Zhang, opened his hands, and firmly blocked any angle of Jiang Dongyu's shot.There is no chance!Most people present thought this way: He will definitely choose to pass the ball.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Dongyu jumped up brazenly, ready to shoot the basket.An angry Cole then jumped up and roared: "You are ten years too early!" The moment Jiang Dongyu made a shot, he blocked the ball.

Fatty Zhang next to him picked up the leak, grabbed the ball and smashed it into the basket at the first time—a dunk!
Although it was a fluke, Fatty Zhang finally dunked in front of Cole.The Huaxia youth training players on the sidelines cheered loudly.

30: 38.

The game continues.After the miss, Cole aggressively attacked the Huaxia Youth Training Team, and immediately rushed towards Fatty Zhang after receiving a pass from his teammate.Fatty Zhang was unafraid and defended with all his strength, holding the three-foot ground firmly, without retreating a step.Zhang Shaolong on one side also came over to help flank.Cole didn't have a chance to make a shot, so he passed the ball resentfully. After receiving the ball from the outside, JJ shot a three-pointer under the cover of Green, and the ball bounced off the basket.

Rebound After the next fight, Pascalj grabbed the rebound and Team USA went on the offensive...

So far, the game has entered a fierce offensive and defensive battle.Under the leadership of Cole's strong skills, the US team launched a wave of offensives. The Huaxia Youth Training Team also launched a tenacious counterattack because of the outstanding performance of Jiang Dongyu and Wang Siyang from the outside.Although the US team had the advantage on the field, the game was not completely controlled by the US team.Fatty Zhang on the inside has also made great progress in the constant confrontation with Cole. Although he is still at a disadvantage, he is no longer in a one-sided situation as he was at the beginning, and occasionally counterattacks a few times.

No. 18 minutes into the first half, the referee's whistle sounded again——Fatty Zhang fouled.At this time the score was 58:42, and the American team's advantage expanded to [-] points.

With a groan in his heart, Li Yifan helplessly called timeout again.

Fatty Zhang didn't hang his head this time, and stared at Li Yifan closely, the begging in his eyes could only be seen by the blind: he didn't want to end.Li Yifan was also in a dilemma. From a tactical point of view, Fatty Zhang, who had fouled four times, should undoubtedly be replaced, but this is the time when Fatty Zhang has improved the most. He brings unspeakable benefits.

"You have already fouled four times!" Li Yifan Nuonuo hesitated, "If you foul again, you will have to end the game. There are 22 minutes left in the game..." The following meaning is self-evident.

Fatty Zhang nodded in disappointment.

Wang Siyang over there was panting and sitting on a chair covered in sweat, looking very tired. The ten-minute match just now was not a small burden for him whose physical strength has always been not very good.

"Wang Siyang, are you okay?" Li Yifan asked carefully.

Wang Siyang shook off his sweat, his face was pale, and he forced a smile: "It's okay, it's the first time I meet such a difficult guy..."

Li Yifan had a flash of inspiration: "Wang Siyang, come down and rest for a while, and you can come back in the second half, I need someone to help stabilize the morale of the army on the sidelines, please!"

Wang Siyang nodded gently.

"There are 2 minutes left in the first half, Fatty Zhang, don't foul again!" Turning around, he said to the silent Fatty Zhang.

"Definitely not!" Fatty Zhang replied excitedly.

"Substitution!"

When the timeout expired, the two teams re-entered the game.

in the stands.

"What the hell, didn't replace the center who fouled four times!" Johnson was puzzled, "That guy doesn't even understand this basic common sense!"

Coach Xiangfeng and Kobe looked at each other thoughtfully, but didn't speak.

He made two free throws again. Cole's free throw percentage is really high.With a score of 60:42, the U.S. team extended its lead to 18 points.

The youth training team serves, and Long Xun still controls the ball.

Waved to Long Xun: "Come here!" Li Yifan, who had just played, couldn't wait to touch the basketball.Without hesitation, Long Xun stuffed the ball just right into Li Yifan's hands.

Holding the basketball, feeling the familiar weight, Li Yifan couldn't help hugging it and kissing it!Finally, finally able to play on the stage of the World Youth Invitational again.I have been waiting for this moment for four years!God knows how urgent Li Yifan is sitting on the sidelines watching the game.The blood boiled at this moment, the calmness that had just been on the sidelines disappeared in an instant, and the fighting spirit was burning in the heart!
"Hey, it's time to go!" A cold voice rang in his ears - Jiang Dongyu.

Smiling slightly, pressing down the basketball in his hand, Li Yifan began to walk slowly towards the US team's position.It's time to attack, Team USA, are you ready?
