Chapter 982 The U.S. Team Has No Center Forward
Li Ba missed the first goal, made the second free throw, and the US team attacked.
In the double-team, Kobe began to explode and hit a three-pointer again to tie the score at 54:64. The US team was still 10 points behind.
In the 7th minute of the fourth quarter, halfway through, 60:68, the US team was still 8 points behind.
Kobe really broke out behind him. He made consecutive three-pointers and made 3 of 2 shots. In the fourth quarter, he made 8 of 5 three-pointers. Scored 3 points.
But it is a pity that under the crowded tactics of the US team in the restricted area, the two major insiders of the Chinese team still have a certain advantage in rebounding, so they have an advantage in the number of shots.
The US team only took 8 shots from Kobe, plus 1 second attack, only 9 shots.
And China has 11 shots, the advantage is not big, but it is still an advantage. Under Kobe's explosion, this advantage is very important. Even if he misses the shot, it reduces the opponent's shots and stabilizes the situation.
At this time, the US team called for a timeout.
Yu Jia said: "It's still not good to shoot outside. If there is an open opportunity, Zhu Fangyu made 4 of 1 shots and wasted a lot of possessions."
Zhang Lili said: "Dayao was double-teamed, it was difficult to catch the ball, and he seldom took shots. Moreover, he was not physically fit, so it would be very difficult to force shots. The Hammer also reduced his shots. There are too many shots, and there are not many shots. I can’t shoot from the outside, and I can’t hit the open shots.
Xu Jicheng said: "Iron Hammer didn't make any shots in the final quarter. He missed a shot once. Now he still has 20 points, 21 rebounds, 11 assists, 8 steals, 9 blocks, 3 turnovers and 3 fouls. There are still 3 minutes left. It is still possible to hit a five-double, but first we must ensure It's about winning."
On the American team's bench, the old coach K felt that the tactics just now were good and had achieved results, so his self-confidence was restored. He then arranged a three-guard tactic to speed up and take advantage of Dayao's physical exhaustion to overwhelm the Chinese team.
At this point the pause ends.
The US team, Howard and James, Wade, Reed, Kobe.
Chinese team, Dayao and Li Ba, Ah Lian, Wang Shipeng and Sun Le.
Xu Jicheng said: "Both sides should be very tired. At this time, it depends on who is in better condition, and whoever can withstand it."
Yu Jia said: "On the US side, Howard, Kobe, and James played the whole court. Our side played the whole court with the hammer. The other four played a lot of time, but I believe they can withstand it. The hammer To be able to play the full court in the NBA playoffs, and it's four consecutive series, the intensity is much higher than that, no problem."
Zhang Lili said: "What I am worried about now is that the US team will play three backs again. This is definitely going to be a struggle in the last 3 minutes, speed up, and use speed to break the Chinese team's defense. Be vigilant!"
Yu Jia said: "Wade and Reid haven't played much time, and their physical fitness is very good. We really need to be vigilant."
Team USA attacks.
Li Ba and Dayao are at the basket, facing James and Howard.
James is very tired. He is only a small forward. Compared with the inside line, the physical requirements are different, but the whole court is used as an inside line. The physical energy consumption is too great, but he still persists.
Li Ba is okay, four 10-minute games, he is fine.
Both Dayao and Howard are persevering, and their physical fitness is low.
The U.S. team played a three-back strategy, and the Chinese team could no longer double-team Kobe. Wang Shipeng played against Kobe, Sun Le played against Reid, and the UAE played against Wade.
But the U.S. team still implemented crowd tactics in the restricted area. Kobe led Wang Shipeng into the restricted area, intending to block Liba.
Wade served as the point guard, advanced to the frontcourt at full speed, and came to the top of the arc.
The UAE, who was facing Wade, waited directly in the backcourt, and then defended.
Wade passed the ball to the left wing, and then led the UAE to the right wing.
Reed on the left received the ball, made a fake shot, and then made a three-pointer after shaking off Sun Le. He missed the rebound and landed on the edge of the penalty area.
Li Ba was blocked, but James, who was stuck behind him, rushed over and grabbed the rebound.
Li Ba quickly turned around and stood behind James.
James has practiced shooting more in the past few years, and his low-post skills have not improved much. How dare he hit Li Ba and pass the ball directly back to Reed.
Reid received the ball, and Sun Le followed.
At this time, Wade rushed from the right wing to the top of the arc, and Ah Lian couldn't keep up with the speed at all and lost it.
Wade received the ball, continued to hold the ball and rushed to the left wing, changed direction, and reached the flank.
Sun Le, who was defending Reed, had to lose Reid to defend Wade, but at this time Wade passed back to Reed, who made another shot from outside the three-point line.
Swish, hit a three-pointer.
63:68, the US team is only 5 points behind.
"This lineup can't defend against the three guards, so it must be replaced immediately! Change the guard and go up!" Zhang Reasonable shouted anxiously.
The Chinese team attacked.
Li Ba advances in the backcourt, and James is still facing up, defending and retreating, preventing him from rushing.
The three defenders of the US team all looked over, but they were not sure about double-teaming him, and the risk was too great. In the end, no one dared to double-team him.
Li Ba steadily advanced to the frontcourt, and at this time the US team's defensive formation had already been set up.
After Sun Le was released, Reed entered the penalty area and double-teamed Dayao in advance.
Howard used to go around the front to defend Yao, while the little Reid harassed the defense on the side, pulling on the jersey, secretly pinching Yao's soft flesh, and don't pinch Yao's legs, which will affect his movement.
Li Ba was not double-teamed in advance. He thought about Sun Le's touch this time, and it was not very good, so he didn't pass.
In the last 3 minutes, the success rate must be played, and none of the ball possessions can be wasted.
Judging from his reaction, the US team's goal of emptying Sun Le has been achieved.
He then made a tactical gesture.
Sun Le was on the right-wing three-point line. At this moment, he suddenly started and rushed over to stand next to James.
"Pick and roll breakthrough!"
Responding quickly, James immediately took a step back, trying to block Li Ba who was about to break through from behind Sun Le.
But he was wrong, Li Ba didn't go behind Sun Le, but directly broke through, and followed him to the top of the arc.
As soon as the two advanced and retreated, Li Ba's first step was faster than James. With one step, he caught up with James who was retreating, and intentionally bumped James with his shoulder.
During the retreat, James lost his center of gravity under the impact of huge force, and fell on the free throw line with a bang, while Li Ba drove straight into the penalty area.
At this time, seeing Li Ba go in with the ball, Howard quickly blocked the basket.
Li Ba took a step across the free throw line, flew straight up, and faced Howard's block, it was a one-armed dunk.
With a bang, the ball went into the whistle.
The referee rushed over and made a gesture. Howard was fouled by the thug, and the five fouls graduated. Li Ba's two points were valid, and an extra free throw was added.
"Great, the US team has no center again!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
