At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 212 Ayoso’s swan song
Du Zhe missed a single hit, allowing the fast-paced Porto Lige to find a chance to counterattack.

Barea took the lead and wanted to make another victory.

For the national team, only Sun Yue returned to defense in time, facing a dilemma between Barea and Ayoso.

Facing the defense, Barea calmly distributed the ball to Ayoso, and saw that the opponent was about to make a layup.

But Du Zhe came out from the slanting stab and hit Ayoso by surprise.

The basketball bounced off the backboard, and Du Zhe, who had just landed, rushed over without stopping.

Wang Qi, who came late, wanted to accept the rebound steadily, but when he saw Du Zhe who was like a murderous god, he unconsciously retracted his hands.

It can only be said that Du Zhe, who was already red-eyed, became ruthless, even his teammates were afraid.

After grabbing the rebound like a hungry tiger, he immediately launched a counterattack and rushed towards the opponent's basket.

Wang Qi, who had not yet reacted, saw a yellow afterimage passing by him.

After realizing it, he was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and hurriedly followed.

Several insiders from both teams had just passed halftime at this time, and Santiago had no hope of catching up with Du Zhe.

However, another insider, Balkman, was not slow. He caught up with Du Zhe's footsteps and wanted to delay Du Zhe's fast break.

But Du Zhe, who has already mentioned the speed, is unexpectedly flexible.

Like a superficial change of direction, Balkman passed by with a light change of direction, and then went to the basket to complete an unpretentious civilian dunk.

"Okay!" Deng Huade on the sidelines jumped up excitedly.

Dayao, who had been frowning, his expression relaxed a little.

Once the hat was buckled, the morale of the whole team was boosted.

However, Du Zhe couldn't help but feel a little out of breath after two consecutive rounds of full-court raids.

He chose to paddle a little in the little time left in the first quarter.

Fortunately, because of Du Zhe's reputation in the NBA, Boduolige never dared to choose him for this point of attack.

It also gave him some respite.

The two teams slowed down and played two or three more rounds, but all came back in vain.

The score did not change again. At 23:19, the national team temporarily led by 4 points and entered the second quarter.

Du Zhe made 10 of 6 shots in the first quarter, leading the team in the number of shots, but also scored 17 points.

The UAE did not perform well in the first quarter. The high-speed combination of Ramos + Backman was not inferior to him in terms of physical fitness, which caused him a lot of trouble.

Although this is just an ordinary warm-up match, the two teams are going back and forth, and no one is willing to give in even half a point.

…………

Taking advantage of the gap between the first and second quarters, Du Zhe took a short breath.

He needs to be fully committed on both offense and defense, which undoubtedly takes a huge toll on his physical energy.

But Du Zhe still rejected Deng Huade's excuse to persuade him to rest.

Sometimes the game is played in one breath, and now the national team's leading advantage is not obvious. If the breath dissipates after he leaves the field, it will not be easy to chase him back.

Moreover, although Du Zhe's physical strength was consumed a lot, after training and improvement, his endurance was beyond the limit. This little trouble was nothing to him.

More importantly, in the playoffs last season, it was common for Du Zhe to play more than 40 minutes in each game.

Although the competition in the international arena is stronger, the offensive and defensive rhythm is generally slow, and even if the entire game is played, it only lasts 40 minutes.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Du Zhe still stayed on the court.

The national team's lineup was slightly adjusted. Sun Yue came off the field and was replaced by young Yu Shulong.

In all aspects of Boduoli, Buckman and Barea, who played the entire first quarter, also came off the court and were replaced by 2 meter Nathan Pivy and Arroyo.

After the opening, the Huaguo men's basketball team took the lead in attacking. Unfortunately, it got off to a bad start. Yu Shulong made a mistake in passing the ball and was intercepted by the opponent to counterattack.

But fortunately, Big Zhi turned around and forced Pee Wey inside, using his height advantage to directly force his opponent.

Then Ayoso tried to break through with the help of the pick-and-roll, but it was a pity that Du Zhe, who had switched defenses, felt too oppressive.

After Ayoso, who was too sticky with the ball, realized that something was wrong, it was too late to try to distribute the ball. Du Zhe forcibly snatched the ball away from his hands and made a mistake.

Du Zhe quickly transferred the ball and launched a counterattack. Wang Qi and Yu Shulong cooperated in the frontcourt and scored two more points.

Then Du Zhe took the initiative to lead the defense and attack Ayoso, which frustrated the arrogant shooting guard repeatedly.

Bodoli's coaches, who couldn't stand it anymore, could only call a timeout and replace Ayoso.

Seemingly aware that his position in the national team was in jeopardy, the veteran was still chattering off the field, venting his dissatisfaction to the coach.

Naturally, head coach Cintron didn't want to spoil him, so he secretly crossed out the name of this big independent in the little notebook in his heart, and decided to remove him from the national team roster.

Ayoso, one of the 3A arrows of Bodoli, completed his national team's swan song in such a warm-up match.

In the rest of the second quarter, the two teams went back and forth. Du Zhe tended to connect the teams in this quarter, focusing more on defense and giving opportunities to his teammates.

After all, when it comes to the World Championships, it is impossible for him to play all the balls with sticks.

This is neither realistic nor conducive to the long-term development of the team.

What he has to do now is to take advantage of the warm-up match to let his teammates play more, so that the team that has been losing by big scores can quickly regain its confidence.

If it doesn't work, he will come out again to tell the truth.

Fortunately, the national team players performed well in the second quarter. After Ah Lian returned to the field, he regained his touch, and through the pick-and-roll with Du Zhe, he scored several offenses.

Wang Qi and Sun Yue also made some achievements on the outside. The two hit three-pointers one after another, which caught Bodoli's teams by surprise.

Now that his teammates are feeling warmer, Du Zhe is no longer as aggressive as he was in the first quarter.

In this quarter, he only took two shots and hit one goal.

Even so, but feared by Du Zhe's performance in the first quarter, Pudu Lige still did not dare to relax his defense at all.

The national team entered the second half with a 48:45 lead by three points at halftime.

The third quarter hadn't started yet, but Deng Huade told Du Zhe to rest for a while before playing.

In his opinion, Du Zhe played such a team in the second quarter, which is obviously a performance of insufficient physical strength.

He doesn't want his number one general to fail before the World Championships even begin. I'm afraid that just the scolding from Chinese fans will send him back to his hometown in the United States.

And Dayao also came to persuade Du Zhe that it was just a warm-up match, there was no need to work so hard.

The two were chattering, and Du Zhe could only take a rest off the court reluctantly.

It's just that once he took a rest, the national team's rhythm on the court was obviously unable to keep up with the opponent.

Although Wang Qi can still create a threat on the offensive end, Vassaro gradually returned to the team system after getting rid of Du Zhe's defense, and also showed his impressive strength.

Although Sun Yue, Wang Qi, and Liu Wei's perimeter combination can be regarded as the top level in Huaguo, without Du Zhe's pull and containment, the three of them are also ineffective on the offensive end.

And if the outside line cannot be opened, the inside line of Arab League will inevitably be targeted. He is restricted everywhere, and it is not easy to score every time.

On the other hand, Poland's NBA-level outside combination began to exert its strength. Barriari made sudden outside shots, Arroyo made the connection, and Vassallo shot cold arrows from time to time. The balance on the court began to tilt towards Bodoli.

　Zhou Qi makes people disappointed, Wang Zhelin makes people despair...
