Chapter 496 An unprecedented fiasco in 40 years (1)
"Hey, after the start of the second quarter, Meng Xu still stayed on the court, doesn't he need to rest?" As the substitute lineups of both sides appeared one after another before the start of the second quarter, Sun Zhengping found that the Huaguo men's basketball team Here, four of the five main players were off the court, and Meng Xu, who was the core of the Huaguo men's basketball team, continued to appear on the court, bringing several substitute players such as Battelle, Jiao Jian, Sun Jun and Liu Wei.As for the South Korean team, Ha Seung-jin, who played for only 1 minute in the first quarter, also played again.

"This is the biggest difference between the NBA and international basketball. The FIBA ​​game is only 40 minutes, while the NBA game is 48 minutes. For those players who are familiar with the rhythm of the NBA, a 40-minute game, even if they Playing the whole game, there will be basically no physical exhaustion. Taking Meng Xu as an example, he played in all 82 games in the regular season last season, with an average of 37.5 minutes per game. In contrast, in our league, the number of games is less than In half of the NBA, the player with the most playing time is only in his early 30s, which is the gap!" When Zhang Lili was chatting with Sun Zhengping, he did not forget to complain about the basketball league in Huaguo, and many commentators of CCAV will comment on the game During the process, avoid bringing up these sensitive topics, but only Zhang Lili, the big man in the Huaguo basketball circle, and the director of the basketball management center should respectfully call Zhang Lili, the director of Zhang Li, who dares to speak so freely.

"Director Zhang is very reasonable. Our professional league still has a long way to go!"

Amid Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping's complaints, the second quarter officially started. South Korean team point guard Shin Ki-sung, who came off the bench, dribbled the basketball forward and made gestures towards his teammates. , Shin Ki-sung is also a very strong player. In last year's Asian Games, Shin Ki-sung was the main point guard of the South Korean team, but this year due to injuries, he was robbed of the main position by Kim Seung-hyun. Now he has almost recovered Shin Ki-sung is also trying his best to regain his main position. After all, Shin Ki-sung is only 28 years old this year and is at the peak of his career. He doesn't want to be a substitute for the young Kim Seung-hyun.

After Shen Jicheng dribbled the ball to the front court, he directed his teammates to pull away while slapping the basketball on the spot. The two major insiders of the Huaguo men's basketball team have all rested now, so it is also a very good time for the South Korean team. After all, shooting three-pointers from the outside is too dependent on touch, and scoring close to the basket is king.After trying to make a breakthrough and failed, Shen Jicheng handed over the basketball to the small forward Lim Jae-hyun. Unlike the Huaguo men's basketball team who used a lot of pick-and-roll, the South Korean team rarely cooperates with pick-and-roll, mainly relying on continuous passing and breaking. To tear apart the opponent's line of defense.

Since there is an obvious gap between these substitute players and the main players, and the cooperation between them is not as tacit as the main lineup, so after the South Korean team passed the ball several times in a row, the Huaguo men's basketball team's defense line was very weak. Loopholes gradually began to appear, especially Jiao Jian. Due to his lack of game experience and defensive awareness, it was difficult for him to keep up with the opposite Jin Zhoucheng in the game.

"It's not good!" When Jiao Jian found that the distance between himself and Jin Zhoucheng was widening, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and after Jin Zhoucheng successfully opened the distance between him and Jiao Jian, he quickly Running towards his best position, ready to catch and shoot there.Kim Joo-sung is now a well-deserved superstar in the KBL league. In the first year of joining the KBL league, he was elected the best rookie. After only three seasons in the league, he was selected as the best player and the best defensive player in the KBL league. The double double ranks in the top three.Kim Joo-sung, who can play both positions of center forward and power forward, has a wide range of offense. Although Kim Joo-sung is 2 meters tall, his movement speed is not slow at all, and it is similar to the Korean traditional Like inside, Kim Joo-sung's 07-point shooting rate is also very good. If the current head coach of the Korean team has not been training Ha Seung-jin, Kim Joo-sung must be the main force of the Korean team.

"Pass the ball, Shin!" Kim Joo-sung, who had already run out of space, immediately reached out to Shin Ki-sung for the ball.

And Shin Ki-sung, who just received the pass from Liang Gengmin, also saw Kim Joo-sung who was open, so Shin Ki-sung on the left side of the court directly made a long pass, wanting to hand the basketball to Shin Ki-sung on the other side of the court, as Shin Ki-sung, the main point guard of the South Korean team for many years and a star player in the KBL league, is very confident in his passing. For Liu Wei, a young player by his side, Shin Ki-sung is completely indifferent.

But to Shin Ki-sung's horror, just when his pass was about to reach Kim Joo-sung's hands, the basketball passed by him changed direction and flew towards the South Korean team's half court. Meng Xu, who came out from somewhere, intercepted his pass very accurately in the air.

When Meng Xu intercepted Shin Ki-sung's pass, he rushed directly towards the South Korean team's half court. After Meng Xu completed a fast-break dunk, Shen Ki-sung, who retreated from defense, had just reached the free throw line.

"The next time you make a long pass, be careful!" After taunting Shen Jicheng who stopped near the free throw line, Meng Xu ran towards the middle circle, and with his teammates who had rushed over, High five each.

"Hmph, it looks like I'm going to use all my strength." Regarding Meng Xu's steal this time, Shen Jicheng recalled all the details carefully in his mind, and felt that he was in the middle of the pass just now. It's a bit careless, the long-distance pass itself is very dangerous, but because the Liu Wei who is facing him is obviously a little immature, so Shen Jicheng didn't take it too seriously, who would have thought that he would be given by this annoying guy? Stealing it directly, it seems that I should be more careful, and I can't have any reservations.

But in the next attack, when Shin Ki-sung passed the half court and wanted to pass the basketball to small forward Lim Jae-hyun, but was intercepted by Meng Xu again, Shin Ki-sung could no longer calm down.Although after being intercepted by Meng Xu in the last attack, Shen Jicheng was much more cautious in dribbling and in the choice of passing timing, but Meng Xu's moving speed and the prediction of Shen Jicheng's pass, It was obviously beyond Shin Ki-sung's imagination. Before Shin Ki-sung passed the ball, Meng Xu, who was still behind Lin Jae-hyun, walked around in front of Lin Jae-hyun the moment Shin Ki-sung passed the ball. It was a very easy steal.

Only 30 seconds after the opening of the second quarter, the point difference was widened to 10 points, but the head coach of the South Korean team yelled at the players on the field for a while, telling them not to be too careless. There are no more instructions. After all, the game has only passed 30 seconds, even if it is called a timeout, it is useless. It is impossible to replace all the main players now.

Two consecutive offenses were intercepted, and after the head coach yelled at him on the sidelines, Shin Ki-sung became more cautious, and the other players of the South Korean team also worked harder to move and tear up space.This time, Shin Ki-sung no longer passed the ball to Lim Jae-hyun, who was facing Meng Xu, nor did he directly go to Kim Joo-sung with a long pass, but first passed the basketball to Liang Gengmin, who was relatively close to Kim Joo-sung, in order to let Liang Gengmin Pass the ball to Jin Zhoucheng again, but after this seemingly cautious but redundant pass, Jin Zhoucheng's chance is gone, because Jiao Jian has already caught up with Jin Zhoucheng.

"Jin, catch the ball!" Jin Zhoucheng, who was entangled by Jiao Jian outside the three-point line, could only start to run again. Originally, Jin Zhoucheng wanted to run towards the other side of the court, but just before Jin Zhoucheng When Zhou Cheng approached the paint area, Liang Gengmin passed the basketball towards Jin Zhoucheng.

Hearing Liang Gengmin's shout, Kim Joo-sung immediately half-turned and received the basketball from Liang Gengmin. Just when Kim Joo-sung was about to turn around and put the basketball into the basket, he found that there was someone behind him. It was time to make up defense. Jiao Jian, who was supposed to be defending himself, was obviously still on the opposite side of him, so after Jin Zhoucheng turned his head and took a look, he wanted to know who was defending him, but Jin Zhoucheng was a little surprised.Behind Jin Zhoucheng turned out to be No. 5 of the Huaguo team.

"Haha, it really pays off!" After seeing the defensive players behind him, Kim Joo-sung immediately became excited. Kim Joo-sung, who has a high vision, is different from those bumpkins in the South Korean team. He knows clearly I know how strong Meng Xu is as NBA No.1, so after learning that Meng Xu will participate in this Asian Championship, Jin Zhoucheng's greatest wish is to be able to compete with Meng Xu.But now, just 1 minute after he played, he has the opportunity to face Meng Xu.

Although Kim Joo-sung's height and size surpassed Meng Xu's, for the sake of safety, Kim Joo-sung chose to single Meng Xu with his back. Not only did he not move at all, but at the moment when he was about to exert his strength, he pushed himself against him, which made him almost make a mistake. At this time, Jin Zhoucheng was shocked, but despite the shock, Jin Zhoucheng still held on After trying to turn around and pass others but failed, he simply jumped up on the spot and prepared to make a hook shot.

But just as Jin Zhoucheng threw the basketball lightly, Meng Xu, who was defending Jin Zhoucheng, jumped up and slapped Jin Zhoucheng's hook flying.

"Beautiful, beautiful block!" Far away in BJ's studio, after seeing the scene of Meng Xu defending Jin Zhoucheng just now, Zhang Lili almost stood up excitedly. Zhang Lili is really a bit regretful now. Can go to Harbin to watch the game live.

"The South Korean team was blocked again, and Meng Xu blocked Shen Jicheng again!" Just as Zhang Lili continued to praise Meng Xu's block with excitement, the basketball blocked by Meng Xu appeared on the TV. He was picked up by Shen Jicheng, and after picking up the basketball, Shen Jicheng rushed towards the basket without the slightest hesitation, but at the moment Shen Jicheng made a layup, Meng Xulian dribbled the ball and shot him out of the baseline .

"It seems that even if Dayao and Dazhi are not on the court, there is no need to worry about the inside line of our men's basketball team. With Meng Xu's physical quality, there is no problem even if he plays a center forward!" After two consecutive blocks, The atmosphere in the Tianrun Gymnasium instantly exploded, and Zhang Lili in the CCAV studio hall was flushed with excitement. Meng Xu's performance in the defense just now was really terrifying.

"The ball was stolen, and Meng Xu stole the ball again! Meng Xu's defensive judgment is really excellent, and every supplementary defense is just right. The defense of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team seems to be full of loopholes. Under Meng Xu's excellent defense, It actually made it difficult for the South Korean team to even score!" After the start of the second game, every attack of the South Korean team was finally terminated by Meng Xu, obviously the two defenders of the South Korean team were already very strong when passing the ball. Be cautious, but Meng Xu was still able to seize the opportunity and contributed steals again and again, and the only few successful cooperations failed to score in the end. Meng Xu scored in less than 3 minutes after the opening of the second quarter 5 steals and 3 blocks, a wave of 10-0 offensive frenzy widened the difference between the two sides all the way to 16 points.

"Director Zhang, the South Korean team has not scored for 4 minutes, right?" Although the South Korean team switched to the main lineup after the timeout, they still couldn't get rid of the embarrassing situation. Meng Xu's strong deterrence on the defensive end , The South Korean players on the field were a little confused, and under the leadership of Meng Xu, the Huaguo men's basketball team not only had a high momentum, but also a lot of defensive efficiency. The men's basketball team is already 39 to 18, leading the South Korean team by as many as 21 points.

"Today's game, I'm afraid there will be a very big difference in points!" As an old opponent of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team, although the strength of the South Korean team has always been inferior to the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team, the gap between the two sides is not too big In recent years, the points difference between the two sides was within 10 points. In the Asian Games last year, the Huaguo men's basketball team even lost to the South Korean team. But in today's game, from the beginning of the game, The South Korean team was at a disadvantage, almost suspended by the Huaguo men's basketball team, and after entering the second quarter, the South Korean team had difficulty even scoring.

"The South Korean team still can't find a way to score!" As time passed, the point difference between the two sides became wider and wider. The head coach of the South Korean team had called timeouts three times in the second quarter, but each timeout was nothing. As a result, 7 minutes into the second quarter, the South Korean team still hadn't scored a point. Sun Zhengping shook his head watching the insane defense of the Huaguo men's basketball team on the field, especially Meng Xu, who made all kinds of elusive steals. The cover made South Korea's main defender, Kim Seung-hyun, cry. When the live broadcast cut to Kim Seung-hyun, who was back on the bench, crying, Sun Zhengping, who was commentating the game, couldn't bear it.

If Shin Ki-sung, who replaced Kim Seung-hyun at the beginning of the second quarter, was terribly forced by Meng Xu and made Jin Seung-hyun gloat, then when Kim Seung-hyun scored more than 3 points in the second quarter, after replacing Shin Ki-sung, Kim Seung-hyun You can understand how Shin Ki-sung felt just now. In 4 minutes of playing, Kim Seung-hyun was intercepted 4 times by Meng Xu, and was forced to violate the 8-second backcourt twice by Meng Xu. Now Kim Seung-hyun finally knows why Shin Ki-sung left the field just now. When, it will be a relaxed expression.

"Even if it's the US team, it's impossible for a team to lose a point in a single quarter, right?" Zhang Li said with lingering fear after the referee blew the whistle at the end of halftime. Today's South Korean team, It is indeed worthy of sympathy. The South Korean team, which has been sitting firmly in the second place in Asia for many years, did not score 1 point in the entire second quarter of today's game. Let alone the huge 45-18 difference between the two sides, it is just watching as a referee After blowing the whistle for the end of the second quarter, the South Korean players on the field, with expressions of relief, knew that the game was over for them.

"Yeah, even the American team known as the dream team has never had a record of 0 opponents in a single game, and now, we have done it!"
