Chapter 159 Goryeo’s ‘Sixth Man’

In this 'Goryeo Team', Seo Jang-hoon and Moon Tae-jong are the strongest and are the core both inside and outside.

With Seo Jang-hoon being restricted by fish and the disadvantage in rebounding, even if the referee awarded some controversial ball rights to the opponent from time to time, the 'Korea Team' still fell into a disadvantage.

Xu Zhangxun was anxious. Unlike Wen Taizhong, he was not restricted much. On the contrary, he was restricted by Yuzhu.

Of course, Yuzhu could not completely prevent Xu Zhangxun from dying.

This is different from the one-on-one duel, which only requires you to face Seo Jang-hoon alone, but the competition has to take into account many aspects, not to mention the cooperation between the "Korea Team" is really tacit.

In terms of the degree of tacit understanding of cooperation, the 'Korea Team' has a better tacit understanding. No one can deny this.

Even so, as time passed, the point difference between the two teams continued to expand steadily.

The reason is simple. The starting lineup of the third group is obviously stronger. Except for the young Li Shengjun, the other four players are all dominant players.

Among them, Uozhu is not an ordinary dominant player, and he even beat Seo Zhangxun on both offense and defense.

The coach of the 'Korean Team' is also a Korean, and at this time he was anxious.

He has used a few timeouts in the first half and changed tactics many times.

However, the effect is not obvious.

Although tactics are important, it is the players who execute them after all.

The tactics adopted by Uozumi are very simple, that is, they work hard on defense and rebounding, and focus on limiting the inside performance of the Korean team.

Unless the Korean team's outside touch is hot, Uozhu will not change its tactics.

Unfortunately, the Korean team's outside touch is mediocre.

Therefore, with the absolute inside advantage, the third group steadily gained the upper hand and continued to expand the score advantage.

At the end of the first half, the third group temporarily suppressed the 'Korea Team' with a score of 42:29.

In the first half, the offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides was very slow, mainly based on positional battles, and occasionally supplemented by fast breaks.

On the bench of the third group, Uozumi solemnly said to his teammates: "In the second half, they may take measures, especially the referee's bias, so our actions must be clean!"

At this time, Uozumi almost took over the coaching reins as the interim coach.

The interim coach of the third group is happy to see the results. After all, as long as the team wins the game, he will have a share of the credit as the team coach, and he can be lazy at the same time, so why not do it.

Soon, the second half begins.

In the Korean team's attack, Seo Jang-hoon took the initiative to screen for Moon Tae-jong, and then cut into the penalty area from the other side.

Yuzhu immediately switched defenses with Cheng Zhiming. Cheng Zhiming's strength and tonnage were not bad, and he could delay Xu Zhangxun's pace.

Wen Taijong did not pass the ball and continued to break through with the ball.

He controls the ball very well and it seems like it's stuck in his hands.

However, Yuzhu did not lose his position.

"So difficult!"

Even the proud Wen Taizhong has to admit that Yuzhu is powerful.

Seeing that it was difficult to break through, Moon Tae-jong did not push forward and hurriedly passed the ball to Seo Jang-hoon who was about to cut into the penalty area.

Xu Jangxun caught the ball and stepped into the penalty area, and collided with Cheng Zhiming.

Cheng Zhiming fell down in response and was knocked to the ground by Xu Zhangxun.

Toot~

The referee's whistle sounded, but what Cheng Zhiming didn't expect was that the Korean referee pointed at Cheng Zhiming, thinking that he had committed a foul.

Cheng Zhiming looked very surprised. He had just established his footing and made no extra moves, so why did it become a blocking foul?

"No, this is obviously a collision foul. How could it be a blocking foul?"

Cheng Zhiming became anxious and argued loudly with the referee.

Toot~

However, at this moment, the Korean referee blew the whistle again, pointed at Cheng Zhiming again, and made a technical foul with his hand.

Damn it!

Cheng Zhiming was almost furious and seemed to want to argue with the referee again.

Yuzhu quickly dragged him away because he did not want Cheng Zhiming to be punished.

The game is still going on, but the referee's tendency is obviously more serious than in the first half, giving favorable penalties to the 'Korea Team', which is evident from the number of free throws taken by both sides.

Under this situation, the point difference between the two sides began to narrow, and several teammates committed multiple fouls. For example, Battle committed four fouls and became timid, fearing that he would leave the game after committing five fouls.

Even Uozumi, who is experienced in the game, also committed two fouls.

"This can't go on like this!"

Uozumi made a decision and had to focus more on offense.

In addition, in terms of defense, a three-two zone defense is adopted to continue to strengthen control of the penalty area.

The next moment, Yuzhu took the ball in the low post. His steps were fast and his connection was very good. He broke through Xu Zhangxun in two or three times and scored a layup.

In the next round, Yuzhu continued to play in low singles. After entering the penalty area, he used Sikma Step to successfully open up the space and succeeded in a jump shot.

In the third round, Yuzhu successfully deceived Xu Jangxun. Facing the help of the "Korean power forward", he calmly relied on the opponent and succeeded with a hook.

…

Xu Zhangxun felt panicked. Facing Yuzhu's various singles fights, he found that he could not restrain Yuzhu at all. He was being given everything he wanted, and he had no ability to fight back.

At the same time, Yuzhu's movements were very clean, and the referee was stunned and did not find the opportunity to blow the whistle.

On the defensive end, facing a three-two zone defense, the Korean team's outside touch was average and its efficiency was not very high.

From the perspective of scoring efficiency, the ‘Korea Team’ once again fell into a disadvantage.

Soon, the score difference between the two sides was widened again.

However, not long after, the referee's whistle sounded again.

Battle looked at the referee with a confused look on his face. He was fighting for a rebound with the 'Korean power forward' just now. In the process of getting stuck, the 'Korean power forward' fell down before he even used much force.

Battle was very unwilling, and in the end he did not escape the fate of leaving the game with five fouls.

At this time, more and more serious boos were heard in the arena.

The shameless style of the 'Korea Team' made players from other countries feel the same hatred and hatred, and the referee's tendency was too obvious.

Not only that, the president of McDonald's Asia was also very dissatisfied.

But no matter how dissatisfied it is, the referee cannot be changed temporarily, at least until the end of the game.

With Battle's exit, the situation between the two sides began to change.

Without Battle, the inside advantage of the third group is undoubtedly much smaller, and both penalty area defense and rebounding have been weakened.

"This can't continue like this. It would be great if we could knock the referee off the field!"

Yu Zhu secretly thought to himself that the referee's tendency to enforce the law became more and more serious, and his teammates became cowardly and faced the possibility of being sent off at any time.

The situation is very unfavorable to our side!

If this continues, it is likely to repeat the mistakes of the Chinese men's basketball team in 1988.

Uozumi began to look for opportunities and soon found them.
Chapter completed!
