Chapter 127 Yao Ming VS Nowitzki (ask for subscription, ask for monthly ticket)

"Everyone, today the Chinese team will usher in the fourth match of the group stage, which will directly determine their group ranking. The German team lost to Greece and Spain before. If they don't win this match, they will lose the chance to advance. Therefore, this match is extremely difficult." The commentator Sun Zhengping said, his unique voice seemed very old.

"The core of the German team is Dirk Nowitzki, who we are all familiar with. He is at the pinnacle of his basketball career after winning the regular season MVP two years ago. Besides Dirk Nowitzki, their center Kaman is also an NBA player." Zhang Weiping, a Wannian model worker, is still at work.

For the opening jump ball, Yi Jianlian transferred the ball to his teammates before Kaman.

Liu Wei passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu after halftime.

Even though Lin Yue played well the first two times, coach Yunus still used Lin Yue as the team's sixth man. The Chinese team's starting lineup remained unchanged, with both Wang Zhizhi and Lin Yue sitting on the bench.

Yao Ming faced Kaman in a low position, and Zhu Fang gave Yao Ming a heavy blow.

After receiving the ball, Yao Ming turned around and made a mid-range shot, and the basketball went into the net hollowly, which kicked off the game for the Chinese team.

"Yao Ming performed extremely well in this Olympic Games. He scored 25 points and 9 rebounds in the game against Angola and clocked out of get off work in three quarters. Now the Chinese team can play such a performance. He is indispensable." Zhang Weiping said.

Kaman broke through for a layup against Yi Jianlian's defense in the low post, but Yi Jianlian's ball was not thrown away. In the case of interference with his hand, Kaman's three-step slow layup missed.

The Chinese team got the rebound, and Yao Ming received a pass from Liu Wei in the low post again. He faced Kaman Yao Ming without mercy. The opponent was far inferior to the number one center in Asia in all aspects.

The footsteps under the basket tricked Kaman to turn around, then forced himself up, and put the ball into the basket with a light jump.

In the opening game, Yao Ming hit Kaman with two consecutive goals. Kaman was really stuck and slow, and the inside line was not Yao Ming's opponent at all.

This time the German team gave the ball to Nowitzki at the right corner, and Yi Jianlian defended in front of him. After tapping his right foot twice, he directly faced Yi Jianlian's defensive mid-range shot.

Nowitzki is worthy of being an MVP-level player. He scored two points for the German team despite his defense. This game must be won for the German team. In the last game, they faced the American Dream Team.

"Nowitzki has a lot of shooting points, his height is 213, and it's difficult to defend with a fallback." Sun Zhengping said.

"Yes, Nowitzki can't be defended by himself, he has to be double-teamed." Zhang Weiping agrees with the opponent's point of view, commenting on many NBA games, he is very clear about Nowitzki's strength.

But Yao Ming is also an old opponent, he often confronts Nowitzki.

Liu Wei handed the ball to Yao Ming again.

The tactics of the Chinese team and the German team are very similar, one relies on Yao Ming and the other relies on Nowitzki.

But this time Kaman started to fight physically, and he was a little angry when he was beaten twice by Yao Ming.

Yao Ming wanted to turn around and rush inside for a dunk, but unfortunately Kaman's physical confrontation could only pass the ball to Zhu Fangyu outside the three-point line before going out of bounds.

Zhu Fangyu immediately passed to Yi Jianlian on the flank. Nowitzki lost his position slightly and stood back. Yi Jianlian also scored a mid-range shot.

"A good shot, Ah Lian returned a mid-range shot in front of Nowitzki." Zhang Weiping said.

The Chinese team scored in the opening three offenses, continuing the previous good state.

"Today Yi Jianlian started to score. Yi Jianlian didn't get off to a good start in the previous games. This is good news for the Chinese team." Zhang Weiping continued.

This time Nowitzki received a pass from his teammate at a 45-degree angle on the left and made a mid-range shot. Like the previous mid-range shot, Yi Jianlian defended him. This time Nowitzki missed the shot.

Unfortunately, when Sun Yue passed the ball to Yao Ming, his strength was too low.

Yao Ming didn't catch the ball at the first time. Seeing that the ball was about to fly out of the baseline, Yao Ming rushed to save the ball and hit the baffle.

There was a round of applause at the scene.

"Although the ball was not saved, the spirit is commendable, and it can also boost the morale of the whole team." Sun Zhengping said.

After the German team initiated, the ball was handed over to Nowitzki after several rotations.

This time it was outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and Yi Jianlian had already sealed it to his face, but Nowitzki shot back and made a hollow three-pointer.

Nowitzki's shooting is really solid.

"Now it seems that defending against Yao Ming alone is not enough, nor is defending against Nowitzki alone." Sun Zhengping summed up the situation of these few rounds.

The 5v5 team basketball game turned into a one-on-one solo game in the hands of the two teams.

This time it was Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei, and Sun Yue who took the ball across the half court in a triangle outside the three-point line. Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were on both sides of the free throw line.

"Liu Wei played the ball unreasonably. Yao Ming is already in position. Just give the ball to Yao Ming." Zhang Weiping felt that this offensive choice was not good, and the Chinese team missed the first goal of the first quarter.

The German team launched a fast break, and the ball was given to Nowitzki again. This time, it was still facing Yi Jianlian's defense, but Nowitzki couldn't hold the ball firmly. Seeing that he was about to let go, he had to bite the bullet and throw it.

It was the turn of the Chinese team to counterattack again. After Yi Jianlian picked up the ball, he handed it to Liu Wei.

The rest of the players ran to the opponent's half. The German team's lineup is actually not strong. Apart from Kaman, there are very few players who can help Nowitzki.

This ball was lost because of too much reliance on Nowitzki. Except for the first ball, Nowitzki shot every round after that.

This time Yao Ming didn't get stuck in the paint and went to the high post to cover. Liu Wei passed the ball to Yao Ming who had a lot of space.

After receiving the ball, Yao Ming stepped on the line and made a long two-point shot. Nowitzki and Kaman rushed to interfere, but Yao Ming had already shot.

The opportunity came out, but after the basketball hit the front edge, it flew to the back edge twice and still bounced out of the frame.

"Actually, the Chinese team should rely on Yao Ming to play inside. Yao Ming should not come outside the three-point line to shoot, nor come to the three-point line to attack." From the perspective of God, Zhang Weiping, who was once the main scorer of the national team, can see the problems of the Chinese team at a glance.

However, this problem is not fatal. The Chinese team changed their defensive strategy. The German team gave the ball to Nowitzki for several consecutive rounds.

"Double-teamed, the Chinese team finally got the hang of it."

As soon as Nowitzki catches the ball, someone will defend him. Yi Jianlian and another player double-team. If you like to shoot, then shoot with two people.

Nowitzki did not do this, and chose to seek stability and distribute the ball to his teammates.

This is in the hands of the Chinese team. How can the shooting of other players compare with him, and Kaman can't grab offensive rebounds in the paint.

The Chinese team successfully defended, and the score gradually opened up after one round and two rounds. Even if Nowitzki's shot was unsolvable, the Chinese team was still able to resolve the opponent's attack.

"Not to mention, the Chinese team played very well in the first two quarters of this Olympic Games." Zhang Weiping expressed his feelings.

If it weren't for physical reasons, the scores of the Chinese team and the Dream Team could still catch up.

When Yao Ming and Nowitzki left the field, the Chinese team and the German team had been in a melee stage, and the Chinese team held a small lead.

Xiaoyou is not considered excellent, Lin Yue did not play in the first quarter, and he was left by the coach to exert force in the second quarter.
