Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 358 Two consecutive victories in the group stage
The Philippine team then continued to speed up, using tacit and fast sudden distribution and passing and cutting cooperation, and finally a point guard scored the ball with a beautiful layup in the air!

Although Zhou Yu had predicted this goal in advance, the opponent's speed was too fast to cover it in time.

"72:71", the Philippine team overtook the Chinese team by one point.

Zhou Yu reviewed the situation on the field and found that the Philippine team, whether they are the main force or the substitute team, is very fast and cooperates well. In contrast, the speed of the Chinese players is a little slow, and the cooperation is also a little blunt.

In this situation, it seems that if you fight the opponent in a positional battle, it doesn't seem to be much advantage. It is better to "cut the mess quickly" and use fast breaks and three-pointers to give the opponent a fatal blow.

It's just that everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although fast breaks and three-pointers increase points quickly, the risks are also great.

Fast breaks are prone to mistakes, and once they fail to score, they are easily backlashed by the opponent. The three-pointer is far from the basket and has limited stability. Once the shot fails, it is easy to give the opponent a chance to counterattack fast.

But at this moment, Zhou Yu seems to have no choice but to stand up bravely when his teammates have no sense of touch. Only then can the unfavorable situation be reversed.

In a new round of offense, Zhou Yu once again pulled to the top of the arc to control the ball, and other teammates pulled away one after another to create singles opportunities for him.

Zhou Yu made use of continuous dribbles under the crotch to shake the opponent's defensive center of gravity. When he saw the opportunity, he suddenly accelerated and broke through, followed by a side step, flashed beyond the three-point line, and shot a beautiful three-pointer with a back step.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and entered the net with a crisp sound!
"74:72", the Chinese team surpassed the Philippine team by two points.

With this goal, the morale of the Philippine team was seriously frustrated, because they suddenly realized that they had nothing to do against Zhou Yu, who had impeccable technique, touch, and stability.

In the next round, the Philippine team continued to play as a team. This time, Zhou Yu kept his eyes sharp and vowed to defend the ball. If he couldn't defend the ball, his previous efforts would undoubtedly come to naught.

Another typical pass and cut cooperation, the small defender of the Philippine team seems to be everywhere, and the speed is so fast that it is hard to guard against.

In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to activate the "Bronze Wall" skill of "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell in the "Basketball Superstar Growth System", spread his legs to stabilize his center of gravity, and dance his two long arms like flying, Create a strong visual impact on the opponent.

The guard of the Philippine team was shaken a little bit, and in desperation, he finally jumped up and made a beautiful layup in the air.

It's a pity that this time, being blocked by Zhou Yu's "bronze wall and iron wall" defense, Ah Dijiang quickly advanced with the ball after grabbing the ball, and the Chinese team formed a fast break and counterattack.

Zhou Yu followed up immediately, and when he was about one meter away from the three-point line, he got a wonderful pass from behind Ah Dijiang. Zhou Yu immediately stood up, raised his long arms, and threw another cool shot Super long three points.

In fact, this distance is about the same as the NBA three-point line, so Zhou Yu can be said to be handy in shooting.

The basketball crossed a high parabola and hit the net again with a crisp sound!

"77:72", the Chinese team extended its lead to five points!
Zhou Yu scored 11 points in a row after playing, and even made three of three three-pointers. His ability to score points was terrifying, which completely shocked the Philippine team.

In the ensuing game, Li Nan and Wu Qinglong's touch was quickly recovered under Zhou Yu's lead, and they performed the "hundred-step piercing Yang" stunt one after another outside the three-point line, and hit three three-pointers one after another, opening the score in one fell swoop!

When the electronic long sound at the end of the third quarter sounded, the score between the two sides was fixed at "91:76". The Chinese team led the Philippine team by as much as 15 points and regained the initiative.

"Well done, Big Zhi, you deserve to be the mainstay of the Chinese men's basketball team."

Gong Luming walked up to Zhou Yu with a happy smile, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him.

"Da Zhi, you played well, you didn't embarrass our Bayi men's basketball team."

Wang Fei also stood up and congratulated Zhou Yu.

"The two coaches have won the award. Thanks to the great help of my teammates and your painstaking cultivation, otherwise, it would be difficult for me to play at such a high level."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"Old Wang, do you see that Da Zhi is not only superb in the game, but also very humble. He is worthy of being your proud disciple."

Gong Luming looked at Wang Fei and said with a hearty smile.

"Lao Gong, stop talking nonsense, I just want to ask you, the current Chinese team has a clear advantage, do you still plan to send him to play in the fourth quarter?"

Wang Fei snorted coldly.

"Of course it's not necessary. He has fulfilled his mission with honor, so he should stay on the court and rest well. Let Weidong, Xiaobin, and Jinsong take care of the rest of the game."

Gong Luming shook his head and said.

"Two coaches, if necessary, I can play for a while. After all, I am only 20 years old, young and strong, and I always feel that I have endless energy."

Zhou Yu raised his head and said.

"Smelly boy, you are said to be fat and you are still panting, hurry up and go to the side and rest!"

Wang Fei glared at Zhou Yu, and ordered angrily.

Zhou Yu stuck out his tongue, then walked towards the bench with a playful smile.

The fourth quarter kicked off quickly. In this quarter, the Chinese men’s basketball team finally played at a normal level. Zhang Jinsong’s breakthrough layup, Hu Weidong’s bloodthirsty three-pointer, Gong Xiaobin and Wu Naiqun’s low-post singles, and Li Xiaoyong’s go-between were all outstanding. The fight was vigorous and powerful.

On the other hand, the Philippine team has no fighting spirit. Their morale was beaten by Zhou Yu as early as the third quarter.

The score between the two sides was further stretched. At the end of the game, the score of the two sides was finally fixed at "116:91". The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Philippine men's basketball team by a huge advantage of 25 points.

After this round of competition, the Chinese team won two consecutive group matches, accumulating 6 points, and ranked first in Group A; the Lebanon team in the same group also won both games, but because of the disadvantage of the net difference, they temporarily ranked second in the group The Philippines and the Indian team lost both games, with 0 points, ranking third and fourth in the group.

It can be said that the qualifying situation of Group A is very clear. China and Lebanon are almost certain to qualify, while the Philippines and India are eliminated. The only suspense is, which one will enter the crossover as the number one in the group? knockout.

The qualifying situation in Group B is a bit complicated. The South Korean team, which has won both games, is determined to qualify for the group. However, the Malaysian team, Qatar team, and Kazakhstan team have a record of one win and one loss, and the same three points. Who will win the second Qualification depends on the result of the last game.

The Iranian team in Group C also achieved a two-match victory, accumulating 6 points, ranking first in the group, with a high probability of qualifying for the group. Singapore and Uzbekistan both won and lost, ranking second and third in the group. United Arab Emirates The team lost both games and was basically eliminated.

The qualifying situation in Group D is even more confusing. The host Saudi team played bravely and won two games, ranking first in the group; the Japanese team and the Thai team both won one and lost one, ranking second and third in the group ; The Syrian team lost both games and was basically out.It should be said that in Group D, in addition to the Syrian team, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and Thailand, any of the three teams may qualify as the first in the group, and may also be eliminated in the final round of the group stage.

At present, although the Chinese team has no worries about qualifying in the group, they still have to try their best to qualify as the first in the group to avoid premature encounters with the old rival South Korea in the cross-elimination round.

The opponent of the Chinese team in the final round of the group stage is the Lebanese team. The Lebanese team should be regarded as the strongest opponent that the Chinese team has encountered in the group stage. Although it is not a top Asian team, it is also a quasi-first-class existence.

The Lebanese men's basketball players are basically all strong and muscular, and they are not afraid of the Chinese team at all in physical confrontation. However, their skills are slightly rough and their shooting percentage is not stable enough, which makes them delayed in the competition. can go further.
