Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 351 Becoming the Core of the National Team

After a crisp sound of "shua", Hu Weidong made a steady three-pointer at the top of the arc!

"57:49", Wu Qinglong's team was still chasing closely, and narrowed the point difference to single digits.

Zhou Yu had a premonition that the opponent's three-pointer was about to take off again. Although he was a little unconvinced, he had to admit that the opponent's outside three-pointer firepower was obviously stronger than his own. They are lacking in ability and are basically spot-up shooters. Although Ah Dijiang and Zhang Jinsong have good dribbling ability, their shooting level needs to be improved.

In contrast, Wu Qinglong and Hu Weidong's three-pointers are extremely terrifying. Both of them have a certain ability to attack with the ball, and they can make consecutive three-pointers. Li Xiaoyong's three-pointer level is not low, at least in terms of stability. It is better than Ah's Jiang and Zhang Jinsong.

Therefore, Zhou Yu must strengthen his individual singles with the ball, otherwise the score is likely to be overtaken by the opponent again, or even overtake.

In the next second, Zhou Yu regained control of the ball from Ah's Jiang, came near the top of the arc, lowered his center of gravity with a low-handed dribble, and prepared to play Wu Naiqun singles with the ball.

Wu Naiqun was miserable. It was the first time he encountered a big player like Zhou Yu whose dribbling skills were as good as that of a defender. The degree of awkwardness and discomfort can be imagined.

Zhou Yu shook his body and was about to speed up when he suddenly heard Wang Fei's voice drifting coldly:

"Big Zhi, don't fight alone, give your teammates more opportunities!"

Obviously, Wang Fei was very dissatisfied with his "personal heroism" style of play and forced him to hand over the ball to his teammates.

Zhou Yu didn't dare to disobey, and quickly passed the ball to Ah Dijiang.

Ah Tijiang dribbled the ball a few times, and then passed the ball to "Desperate Saburo" Zhang Jinsong.

Zhang Jinsong took the ball and launched a fierce attack on Wu Qinglong. He played desperately enough. Even in the face of Wu Qinglong's slamming and bumping, he still stumbled in and rushed in, finally killing a bloody road and approaching the penalty area.

Zhou Yu was worried again, and hurried to catch up, and at the same time, he was ready to grab the rebound.

Faced with the opponent's "human wall" tactic, Zhang Jinsong finally chose to pass the ball to Li Nan in the corner on one side.

Li Nan made a false shot. Seeing that Hu Weidong, who was defending him, was a little hesitant, he immediately accelerated with the ball, threw him behind him, and then made a sudden stop and made a mid-range shot.

It's a pity that shooting with the ball is not the strong point of "Xiao Li Feidao". The basketball finally bounced out of the basket.

After Hu Weidong got the ball, he took the lead and used his skillful dribbling skills to pass Ah's Jiang and Zhang Jinsong one after another, and scored the ball with an elegant three-step basket!
"57:51", Wu Qinglong's side was only six points behind.

During this period of time, Hu Weidong's performance was quite eye-catching, and he seemed to be the "trump card" of his side. In contrast, Zhou Yu's side played a bit dull, and the tactical coordination between each other was still an old routine, lacking innovation.

In the new round of offensive, Zhou Yu strengthened his high-position support and used cover to continuously create opportunities for outside players.

Ah Tijiang took the opportunity to get rid of Li Xiaoyong's entanglement, rushed to the penalty area with the ball, and then made a wonderful pass behind the back, passing the ball to Zhou Yu who was at the free throw line.

Zhou Yu keenly noticed that Liu Yudong had started to move quietly towards the basket. In the next second, he made a strong effort and passed a classic through ball. The basketball passed through multiple players like an arrow off the string. The gap between the players fell precisely into Liu Yudong's hands.

Liu Yudong immediately chose the mode of overhand shooting and high rebounding, which is also his housekeeping skill. The basketball can pass Gong Xiaobin's fingertips and hit the upper part of the backboard and bounce towards the basket.

With the crisp sound of "唰", Liu Yudong finally succeeded in this inside sneak attack. Of course, the main credit for this time's inside scoring is still Zhou Yu's cool long-distance through pass. The point is extremely precise, hitting the opponent's vitals directly.

"59:51", Zhou Yu's side once again extended the lead to eight points, which was like a "reassurance".

Although the two sides played at a high level again at the beginning of the third quarter, in the ensuing game, due to the severe decline in physical strength, the players on both sides showed a cliff-like decline in touch, and their shots frequently hit the iron.

Zhou Yu, who had better physical strength, couldn't bear the loneliness. Taking advantage of the frequent turning back and running of the players on both sides, he hit two fast-break three-pointers in a row, suddenly turning the score into "65:51", leading Wu Qinglong's side by as much as 14. point.

Wu Qinglong's side completely lost their temper, morale also dropped to the bottom, and the offensive firepower from the outside line was gradually extinguished, and the suspense of the game was completely lost.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "72:56", and Zhou Yu's side led Wu Qinglong's side by as much as 16 points.

When the players of both sides came off the field, they were panting heavily. Obviously, their physical strength was close to exhaustion. If they continued to play in the fourth quarter, they would probably only be able to "walk around" on the court, and there was no extra physical strength to participate in the return run. up.

After discussing with each other, Gong Luming and Wang Fei resolutely terminated this tragic intra-team match.

In this match, although it only lasted 10 minutes, Zhou Yu alone scored 38 points, 11 assists, and 13 rebounds, scoring more than half of the team. The overall data was even more shocking.

Then, the head coach of the national team, Gong Luming, summed up the match with a serious face.

He was quite satisfied with the overall performance of the players on both sides, and praised them for their momentum and fighting spirit, especially for their high-level performance on the perimeter. At the same time, he also pointed out the shortcomings of everyone, such as insufficient physical reserves, The tactical movement is not precise enough, the tactical coordination is monotonous, and so on.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Zhou Yu, cleared his throat and said:
"Presumably, as you have seen just now, Da Zhi's personal ability is already much higher than yours, and there are many things you can learn from. At present, the national team is lacking an absolute core. In my opinion, Da Zhi is perfect. Do you have any opinions?"

Everyone was silent when they heard the words. Although there was some dissatisfaction in their hearts, Zhou Yu's strength was there. No matter whether he was convinced or not, he had to speak with his strength in the end.

"We have no objection. Dazhi is indeed superior. We have no objection to him being the core of the national men's basketball team."

Liu Yudong spoke first.

"Yeah, we have no objection, the coach's decision is too wise."

"No comment."

"..."

Immediately afterwards, other team members also followed suit, most of whom came from Bayi Team.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, let's make a decision. Next, I want to announce the starting lineup of the national men's basketball team, which is the main lineup."

Gong Luming smiled and nodded.

Everyone watched Gong Luming nervously and excitedly after hearing the words, this was what they were most concerned about, who didn't want to be the main force, and who would like to be a substitute and sit on the bench.

"Starting center - Wang Zhizhi."

Gong Luming cleared his throat and said loudly.

Everyone looked at Zhou Yu enviously, but did not show too much surprise. No matter in terms of height or strength, Zhou Yu deserved his name as the starting center.

"The starting power forward - Gong Xiaobin."

Gong Luming then announced loudly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of sighs, because the national men's basketball power forward position was obviously the most fiercely competitive. Liu Yudong, Wu Naiqun, and Gong Xiaobin all had certain strengths, but in comparison, Gong Xiaobin's skills seemed to be more comprehensive. Probably the reason why he can become the starting power forward.

"The starting small forward - Hu Weidong."

Gong Luming continued to announce.

The main competition for the starting small forward position of the national men's basketball team comes from Hu Weidong and Li Nan. However, Hu Weidong's skills are obviously more comprehensive than Li Nan, so there is not much controversy about this position.

"Starting shooting guard - Zhang Jinsong, starting point guard - Li Xiaoyong."

Gong Luming finally announced.

As soon as the words came out, there was a burst of sighs and whispers again. Obviously, Wu Qinglong's scoring ability is better than Zhang Jinsong, especially the three-point shooting ability, while Ah Dijiang's breakthrough ability and dribbling skills are better than Li Xiaoyong. .
