Chapter 114 The Five Lineups
"You have done a good job." Li Nan spoke at this time as the captain.
"That's right, we were only 7 points behind in the first half. Although we don't see any hope of winning, we must hold on to keep the suspense of the game going." Yao Ming said.
The Chinese team discussed the tactics of the second half in the locker room, and they were enjoying the game wholeheartedly.
The American team was even more relaxed. Although they didn't play well in the first half, their recovery at the last moment gave them back the advantage.
This is the strength that the "Dream Eight Team" should have. Except for Yao Ming, there is no player in the Chinese team who can compare with them.
The old coach K taught the players earnestly, but James and others didn't take it to heart. In fact, as long as they play hard, there will be no suspense.
"Coach, it's okay, they won't have any chances in the second half." James assured that once Anthony and Kobe's shooting ability recovered, their offense would be impossible to be prevented.
"BJ seems to have a lot of snacks. Let's stay here for a few more days after the game." Howard has already started chatting about food with others, and doesn't care about the second half of the game. After all, his 100% shooting rate has not yet broken, and the only missed shots are free throws.
Howard, who was a little afraid of Yao Ming at first, is much happier now. He can play basketball happily and win. Healed smiles often appear, and he appreciates the beauty of life.
Zhang Weiping is doing technical analysis. In fact, he doesn't want to analyze anything. Why do he still use analysis after labeling it like this?
Facing the US team, only 7 points behind the opponent at halftime, this is progress, if not for this outrageous three-point shooting percentage, maybe how much behind.
No wonder the media will call this year's Chinese team the "Golden Generation".
The same is true for the audience at the scene. They don’t have high requirements, and it’s enough for the group to qualify. They come to watch, one is to cheer for the national team.
This game is more like an entertainment game in the hearts of the audience.
Curry, who is far away in the United States, is also watching the live broadcast. He does not think that the American team will lose to any team. On the contrary, it is Lin Yue's performance that caught his attention.
"In the face of such an opponent, Lin can perform brilliantly, and he has become stronger in just a few months." Curry said with emotion, Lin Yue has been able to show his strength in front of NBA stars in a few months.
Curry decided to shoot hundreds of three-pointers on the basketball court to calm down after watching the game. He began to hesitate whether it was really a good thing for him to enter the NBA directly?
Back in the second half, the Chinese team used the starting lineup in the first quarter, and the US team did the same.
"Today's performance of the Chinese team is very satisfying. First of all, their mental state. Facing a large number of powerful opponents, they dare to fight hard. Secondly, the three-pointer from the outside is very good." Zhang Weiping said with anticipation, whether the Chinese team can stabilize in the second half of the game and create the smallest point difference between the two teams.
Kidd dribbled the ball to James after halftime, and Yi Jianlian was defending him at this time.
James dribbled the ball back and forth, the basketball almost dropped, Howard saw no chance, ran out from the inside to make a high screen, James transferred to Kobe, Kobe took a stride, passed Sun Yue directly, and dunked the ball in.
"Oh, another dunk." Zhang Weiping couldn't figure out how many dunks the US team scored today.
After halftime, Sun Yue dribbled the ball to Zhu Fangyu inside, and James ruthlessly blocked his shot after shaking continuously.
"Hey, it's good to hit the ball straight away. Zhu Fangyu is still a little afraid of the inside line of the US team. James is very experienced. He jumped back and blocked the ball." Zhang Weiping said.
He re-served the ball to Liu Wei who reached the three-point line. His three-pointer today has not yet opened. Facing the slack defense, he tried a three-pointer.
"Bangdang."
James set the ball aside, Anthony, Kobe, and Kidd quickly counterattacked, Kidd dribbled the ball, Anthony and Kobe were on each side, partial three-on-two, only Liu Wei and Sun Yue returned to the defense on the Chinese team.
Kidd did not choose to give Kobe who was outside the three-point line, but chose to go down to Anthony. As a result, the two made a mistake in cooperation, and the basketball fell out of the bottom line. The Chinese team successfully escaped.
"The U.S. team is really in a bad state today. Although they are leading, they are playing very ugly."
It's not just Zhang Weiping who thinks this way, but also Barkley who is also commentating in the United States. It's a bit embarrassing to be labeled like this.
Howard touched Kidd's bald head to comfort him. Kidd's deep eyes were slightly puzzled, why he made so many mistakes today.
The old coach K touched his nose off the court, a little embarrassed, "This is not my tactic, they beat it themselves."
Yi Jianlian's mid-range shot turned around near the bottom line, but it still missed.
"The U.S. has not scored yet, and has made 7 of 0 shots." Zhang Weiping said.
Yi Jianlian is the one who has played the worst so far. He has not played at the level he should have come back from the NBA.
Fortunately, the U.S. team passed to the inside, and under Yao Ming's defense, Howard went wide against the defensive board.
"Howard's shooting rate is less than 100%. The Chinese team's backcourt rebound protection is good today. In the first half, they only lost two to the opponent."
This time Liu Wei suddenly scored to Yao Ming who was outside the three-point line. Because the US team had a problem with the defensive position, Yao Ming shot an open three-pointer.
However, this time he still didn't make it. Instead, Yi Jianlian followed up with a dunk and returned the color with a dunk on the inside of the US team.
"nice shot!"
Lin Yue also stood up excitedly off the court. This ball completely vented his resentment of 7-for-0 before, and Yi Jianlian couldn't help laughing himself.
Yao Ming looked at Yi Jianlian excitedly and muttered, "Well played, Ah Lian."
The offensive on the US side was still initiated by James, assisted by Kidd.
After the pass, he moved to Kobe who cut in from the bottom line, but he stepped on the line.
The referee's whistle sounded, and the US team made another mistake.
"The U.S. team's offensive position is not clear. The rules of FIFA are different from those of the NBA. This will have a considerable impact on the way American players play."
It is a pity that the Chinese team did not grasp the opportunity to close the score. Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming made a mistake in cooperation.
The two were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.
Good guy, why don't you play a romance movie?
Seeing that his teammates were in poor condition, Anthony rushed into the inside line, and the three-threat change tricked his teammates and caused a foul.
Anthony made two free throws.
The U.S. team was pressing again, and Liu Wei couldn't serve the ball at all. He wanted to throw it to his teammates, but Kobe's vertical bounce was obviously better than Sun Yue's, and the U.S. team broke the ball.
Kobe once again passed to Howard on the inside, and Howard fouled the UAE again.
Seeing that the Chinese team lacked a player who could organize, Yunus replaced Lin Yue again, but this time Lin Yue replaced Liu Wei, not Zhu Fangyu.
At the same time, Wang Zhizhi replaced Yi Jianlian. Just after halfway through the third quarter, Yi Jianlian received his third personal foul.
"The Chinese team is going to play five big lineups. The shortest player in the game is Lin Yue, who is nearly two meters tall. Although Lin Yue can pass the ball well, who will dribble the ball across the half against the US team's defense?" Zhang Weiping wondered.
Five lineups?This is still really rare. The five small players are fast, which is a common way to grab points in the NBA. Are the five major lineups here to be funny?
Yao Ming, a 226 giant, is enough to guard the inside. How can this prevent the fast break of the US team.
But Zhang Weiping didn't voice his doubts, he just believed in the Chinese team.
