At halftime, in the Sibana team's locker room, the coach was still deploying.
" Come on, let's maintain this tactic. As long as we exhaust our opponent's stamina, we'll have a chance of winning this game."
" Yes, coach," the Sibana team member replied.
" However, in the second half of the game, we need to add another tactic to our original tactic. That is, if Zhou Shaojian of the Sky Team is ready to shoot after getting the ball, we need at least two people to defend him. Only by making him consume more energy can we win the game. If he chooses to create space for his teammates, then you and the people in each position will go close to the defense, understand?" the coach of the West Bania team deployed.
"Yes," everyone replied again.
In the locker room of the Chinese team, Zhou Shaojian was already drenched in sweat. In addition to him, Zhu Yu, Yi Feng, Zhang Detian, Li Zhiyuan, Yao Hu, and Chen Shun, who had played before, were not only drenched in sweat. If one listened carefully, a few of them were even panting slightly. Obviously, the confrontation in the second quarter had exhausted their physical strength.
" Everyone, the tactic of the Siberian team is very obvious. It's to consume our physical strength through intense confrontation. So I hope everyone can hold on from the start of the second half. In the second half, I'll attract some of the Siberian team's defense. You just have to seize this gap and score," Zhou Shaojian said.
" Yes, captain." After this match, the other teammates recognized Zhou Shaojian's identity as captain even more.
The third quarter began. The two teams switched back to their starting lineup. China held the ball and attacked. Zhou Shaojian dribbled the ball forward and quickly passed Rubid to the basket.

Zhou Shaojian dribbled the ball forward and passed it to Zhao Long, who was in an empty spot. Zhao Long was ready to make a move, but Jia 'er, who was in the opposite position, came over to defend. Jia' er was like a piece of sticky candy, clinging to Zhao Long. Zhao Long had no chance to make a move.
Zhao Long passed it to Yao Hu, who was ready to force a pass under the basket. Bodin, who was in the opposite position, used his body to block Yao Hu. Yao Hu couldn't force a pass, so he passed it to Yi Feng. Ghana, who was in the opposite position with Yi Feng, also used the same method to make Yi Feng unable to force a pass. Yi Feng passed it to Li Zhiyuan, who was on the outside line. Unexpectedly, the time was up unknowingly. A 24-second violation by China.

There was still half time left in the third quarter.
The Chinese team requested a pause. On the edge of the rest area, except for Zhou Shaojian, the four players in the game had begun to breathe. Obviously, the confrontation just now had consumed a lot of physical energy.
" Coach, I'll shoot a lot to score after the time-out. I hope you can agree," Shaojian Zhou said after making a decision.
" Okay, but Shaojian, you haven't rested since you started playing. Is that okay?" Ouyang Hua was worried that he was overusing Zhou Shaojian.
" I have no problem with the coach, brothers. I hope you can forgive me for passing less in the next game," Zhou Shaojian said.
" Captain, what are you talking about? If you hadn't held on until now, we would have been separated long ago," some of his teammates said. Besides, they hoped that Zhou Shaojian could rest for a few minutes.
