Chapter 370 The first match against the US team!

Unknowingly, the Chinese team has also made up a starting content composed of all NBA players!

And in this starting lineup, there are three players above the All-Star level, two of them are super giant players, and they are also the world's number one center forward and the world's number one point guard!

Thinking back to the Athens Olympics four years ago, the Chinese team was still in the process of handing over the core of the team, and the team's strength was a little bit weak!

After all, Liu Wei was not Hu Weidong's successor back then, but just a passer for Yao Ming. Liu Yudong's successor Wang Zhizhi was expelled from the national team for various reasons!
Yao Ming has not yet secured his position as the core of the national team, and is in the infancy stage.

It can be said that the Chinese team four years ago looked like it was about to become a regional strong team that dominates Asia and is in the World Championships again!
As a result, Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian were born, and with the appearance of the two, the entire Chinese basketball world seemed to have turned on a switch, and various high-quality players began to appear one by one!

Thinking about it, Yao Ming felt more and more that he must lead the Chinese team to win the championship this year!

After all, after playing for a season with a weight of 150kg, Yao Ming has realized that although weight brings dominance, it also consumes his peak period ahead of schedule!
Yi Jianlian, who jumps the ball in midfield, has further improved his strength, further improved his athletic ability and jumping ability, when facing Dwight Howard, who has put tremendous pressure on the Eagles' inside twin towers this year.

Still not at all stage frightened, although the final result was still that Yi Jianlian almost failed to skip Dwight Howard and helped the Chinese team get the first offensive ball of the game.

However, looking at Yi Jianlian, who was originally unable to compete with Dwight Howard on the jump ball.

Xu Lang felt very relieved when he was able to compete with Dwight Howard in the jump ball.

At the beginning of the game, the US team, which had the offensive ball, under the command of Jason Kidd, started to attack and set up after halftime steadily and quickly.

Looking at the 221 defensive formation of the Chinese team, Jason Kidd did not hesitate at all, and immediately directed the other players of the US team to quickly move their positions and perform complicated tactical moves.

At the same time, Kidd immediately directed Howard to move up quickly, helping him block Zhu Fangyu, who is the lowest defensive threat in the entire Chinese team!
Zhu Fangyu, who was blocked, did not panic, but quickly adjusted her defensive position.

First blocked Dwight Howard, who was going to go down quickly after completing the pick-and-roll, and strived for more sufficient defensive space and defensive adjustment space for Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian, who were standing on both sides of the Chinese team.

At the same time, with the help of Dwight Howard's pick-and-roll, Jason Kidd, who quickly entered the three-point line, also watched the six directions, listened to the constant observation and commanded the tactical moves of all the players of the US team.

Then, I saw Jason Kidd pass the ball with a light hit, and just before Yi Jianlian's defense was in place, he handed the ball to Carmelo Anthony at a 45-degree angle on the left. He caught the ball and shot it. Board into the box!
Although Yi Jianlian had returned to the defense in time for interference, Carmelo Anthony's decisive and smooth shot made him easily throw the basketball into the basket.

The US team attacked for the first time and scored smoothly!

And then after the performance of the US team, the Chinese team will also start their own performance on the offensive end.

Xu Lang received Yi Jianlian's ground serve from the bottom line. Xu Lang, who had just received the basketball, immediately felt a black shadow approaching from his right side.

Immediately, he made a half-turn with a muscular reaction to lean against the rushing black shadow, and stretched the basketball in his hand forward, widening the distance between the black shadow and the basketball.

The player who came over and suddenly attacked the sixth player was Jason Kidd, the starting point guard of the American team.

Jason Kidd, who missed a single hit, didn't pause at all. He backed up quickly, opened up the distance, and started to defend!
Seeing Jason Kidd, who was retreating quickly and starting to defend his position, Xu Lang also touched the back of his head, feeling a trace of sweat breaking out.

Obviously, Xu Lang didn't expect Jason Kidd to do it all of a sudden.

After readjusting his dribbling rhythm, Xu Lang dribbled steadily across the half.

Standing one step beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc, looking at Jason Kidd who was stepping on the three-point line to defend in front of him, Xu Lang decisively called Yao Ming out to help him complete the pick-and-roll.

After all, as a top point guard with a reputation for defensive strength in the league, Xu Lang still won't fight too hard!
With the help of Yao Ming's pick-and-roll, Xu Lang easily got rid of Jason Kidd's defensive entanglement, and stepped into the three-point line in two strides!
Obviously, the Chinese team's first offensive choice was beyond the expectations of the US team.

In the US team's original plan, the main offensive core of the Chinese team must be Yao Ming, who has killed everyone in the finals this year!

Therefore, before the game, coach K mainly focused on targeting Yao Ming and formulated various defensive strategies.

For example, Howard's defense around the front, such as the flanking and interference of wing players.

For example, Howard constantly gives Yao Ming physical confrontation, consumes Yao Ming's physical energy and other methods!

But these methods are all to deal with Yao Ming's low singles!

As a result, as soon as he came up, Xu Lang used a simple pick-and-roll to directly break the various defensive routines that Coach K had prepared for Yao Ming.

Back on the field, with the help of Yao Ming's pick-and-roll, Xu Lang easily entered the three-point line.

After entering the three-point line, without any pause or hesitation, Xu Lang directly accelerated his second force and launched an impact into the penalty area.

At this time, Dwight Howard, who had followed Yao Ming to the free throw line, looked at Xu Lang who was rushing up, and couldn't help it, and immediately retreated quickly.

In an attempt to block Xu Lang's attack route to the basket.

However, when Dwight Howard retreated, he blocked Xu Lang's attack route in time, but it also meant that Yao Ming, who had just completed the pick-and-roll and stood outside the arc top three-point line, was completely emptied!
Then, I saw Xu Lang pass the ball high from the back of his head without looking at people. He passed the basketball very accurately and strangely to Yao Ming's chest who was standing outside the three-point line!
Although Jason Kidd tried his best to defend and interfere after seeing Xu Lang's pass, but the difference in height between the two and the fact that he was one step slower made Jason Kidd feel very uncomfortable with Yao Ming's attack. This time the interference of the three-point shot was very slight!

In the end, Yao Ming easily made a 3-pointer and hit the board, helping the Chinese team score their first score of the game.

Obviously, after two years, everyone seems to have forgotten Yao Ming's three-point shot that surprised everyone in the final of last year's World Championships.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered American team and the frowning old coach K standing on the sidelines, a mysterious smile appeared on Jonas's face.

After discovering that Yi Jianlian's ability to hit the frame has been further improved, Coach Jonas no longer uses Yao Ming's low-post singles as the only offensive weapon for the entire Chinese team.

Of course, no matter in terms of stability or offensive threat, Yao Ming is still the most powerful player in the entire Chinese team.

But it is obvious that with the addition of Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, a heavy weapon, does not need to be overloaded all the time.

This has greatly improved the fault tolerance rate of the entire Chinese team.

Next, the two teams will start a chasing and overtaking contest!

The Chinese team couldn't defend against the US team's various smart mid-range shots and bottom-line layups.

After all, although the Chinese team has Yao Ming sitting in the penalty area, Yao Ming's weight of 150kg makes it difficult for him to perform particularly smartly, and he can often only defend one side of the attacker.

This allows these American players to easily appear in Yao Ming's defensive blind spot through frequent and tacit passing, and then complete a low-handed layup.

As for, why didn't the US team start flying in the sky to buckle at this time!

Of course it was because of Sun Xuyi!
After the further improvement in strength, Yi Jianlian's athletic ability and defensive range have also been improved!

This brought the power of the Chinese team's fan hat combination originally composed of Xu Lang and Sun Yue to a higher level!

At the same time, I have to say that after a year of training in the NBA, Sun Yue's defensive judgment and defensive choices are obviously much better than what he did in the World Championships.

In addition, Yi Jianlian, whose strength has been further improved, is paired with Xu Lang, whose defense ability has reached the super giant level and has been further improved under FIBA ​​rules.

The three of them can be said to completely lock the entire three-point line of the Chinese team to death!
In order to ensure the offensive efficiency and success rate of this flying lineup formed by the old coach K, he can only hold back and choose a faster layup to complete the attack!
Of course, the stars of the American team were not so sensible when they first came up. It was only after being hated by Xu Lang and others several times that they gradually recognized the strength and deterrence of the Chinese team's fan hat combination!
Of course, although it sounds like the U.S. team has been wronged a lot, in fact, through frequent crossovers and tacit pass and cut cooperation, the U.S. team's offensive efficiency in the first quarter of the game is not low at all.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, the US team scored 60 points in a single quarter with a shooting rate of about 32%.

You must know that the duration of a single FIBA ​​game is only 10 minutes.

In such a short period of time, with so many points, they are still facing a super strong team like the Chinese team!
This proves from the side how fierce the offensive efficiency and offensive firepower of the US team were in the first quarter.

Of course, as the biggest obstacle for the US team to regain its glory this year, the performance of the Chinese team in the first quarter is also not bad.

With the pick-and-roll offense with Xu Lang and Yao Ming as the core of the offense, the entire Chinese team played as a team in the first quarter.

Even Yao Ming, the leader of the national team, only scored 8 points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] block, and [-] steal in the [-] minutes he played in the first quarter.

There is no doubt that the main offensive core of the entire Chinese team is still Yao Ming.

It's just that with the help of Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming can lead the Chinese team to withstand the US team without having to bear as much pressure on the offensive end!
At the same time, on the defensive end, with the help of Sun Xuyi's fan cap combination, Yao Ming only needs to stand in the penalty area and raise his hands like a big white bear to guard the final basket!
Therefore, although Yao Ming played for more than eight minutes in the first quarter, his physical energy consumption was actually not very high.

Most of the offensive choices in the first quarter of the game are just easy and stable shots from medium and long distances.

It’s just that Yao Ming’s judgment on the FIBA ​​three-point line is not so accurate because he has been focusing on inside attack in the NBA in the past season. On several occasions, Yao Ming stepped on the three-point line to complete a long-distance shot. CIC.

Coupled with Yao Ming's soft touch in this game, he can maintain a shooting rate above 50% just by shooting, so that Yao Ming's offensive threat is no lower than when he is playing inside singles!

Of course, if only relying on Yao Ming's mid-range and long-range shooting, it is obviously impossible for the Chinese team to beat the US team's frenzied and scurrying generals in the first quarter of the game!

So in addition to Yao Ming, Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian have also become the second and third offensive explosive points of the Chinese team.

At the end of the first quarter, Xu Lang played the entire quarter alone, scoring eight points, three rebounds, five assists, one block, and two steals!

At the same time, in the first quarter, Yi Jianlian, who became the main offensive point of the Chinese team's inside attack, was the bomber of the US team's basket. At the end of the first quarter, he scored nine points, four rebounds, and one block just like Yao Ming. Performance.

The three main cores scored 26 points in the first quarter, plus Sun Yue made a three-pointer, Zhu Fangyu made a three-pointer, and Wang Zhizhi made a mid-range shot!
At the end of the first quarter of the game, China also scored 60 points with a shooting rate close to 34%.

Lower shooting percentage, but more points scored.

This proves that China's offensive frequency in the first quarter of the game does not seem to be as low as imagined on the scene.

Although in the first quarter, from the point of view of the offensive state, it seems that the US team launched more defensive counterattacks, and most of the Chinese team's offenses were to wait for Yao Ming to land.

But, because of Sun Xuyi, the success rate of the US team's defensive counterattack is not high.

And every time the U.S. team is blocked in a defensive counterattack, it takes more time to fall back into the offensive position.

On the contrary, every time the US team makes a defensive counterattack, it takes more offensive time to complete an attack.

Compared with these, although the Chinese team seems to be because of Yao Ming, the number of defensive counterattacks is not too many.

However, Yao Ming did not frequently land on the ground and played singles with the ball. Under the control and command of Xu Lang, the entire Chinese team's offensive frequency and offensive success rate were actually more than that of the American team and higher than that of the American team. team.

In addition, with Xu Lang, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian competing for the three top rebounders, the Chinese team's offensive rebounds are even more dominant!
This has further improved the frequency of the Chinese team's offense!

Therefore, in such a back and forth situation, the US team seemed to be playing fast on the scene and attacking more times, but it was in a lagging position in terms of score!
"Why, I always feel that Alian's ability to attack the basket seems to have improved again!"

Recalling that in the first quarter of the game, there was a scene where Yi Jian connected to Xu Lang's space, resisted Chris Bosh's interference, and completed a flying dunk!

Zhang Weiping, Director Zhang said somewhat uncertainly.

"It seems to be true. In the first quarter of the game, Yi Jianlian did not lose the slightest bit when he confronted this group of all-star insiders of the US team.

Even in some scenes, Yi Jianlian's impact ability and confrontation ability crushed the opponent's. "

"It can only be said that Yi Jianlian deserves to be a player with the top physical fitness of Asian players in the Super League."

"Especially after he was paired with Xu Lang, a passing master, Yi Jianlian flew higher and higher."

"Indeed, it is precisely because of Yi Jianlian and Xu Lang's excellent performance in the first quarter that Yao Ming does not need to spend too much energy.

It will allow the Chinese team to take the lead at the end of the first quarter.

But I think the real test for the Chinese team has just begun. "

Seeing the start of the second quarter, the Chinese team put Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue all three starters off the court to rest, leaving only Xu Lang to lead the bench lineup, Sun Zhengping said with a little worry.

After all, compared to the Chinese team, except for Xu Lang, the other four players are all non-NBA players on the bench.

The bench lineup for the U.S. team is led by Chris Paul, with Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade's five All-Star players yes!

It can be said that the US team's bench lineup is not only placed on the international arena, but also placed in the NBA. It is a championship-level starting lineup that makes all NBA teams feel afraid.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Sun Zhengping is worried about the boys of the Chinese team!
As soon as the second quarter started, the Chinese team first launched an attack.

Xu Lang caught and dribbled the ball across half court, facing Chris Paul who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Xu Lang immediately signaled his teammates to open up space, and he was going to play singles!
Then, I saw Xu Lang's easy crossover, directly facing the interference of Chris Paul, and easily rushed into the three-point line.

After taking Chris Paul to the free throw line.

Xu Lang just made a simple half-turn and dropped the ball to exert force, and he easily pushed away Chris Paul's half-step space.

Xu Lang, who had gained the space to shoot, still didn't shoot directly, but immediately made a half-turn in front without hesitation, and added an accelerated breakthrough action.

Chris Paulgen, who was just knocked away, had no time to adjust his defensive position, so he had to take another step back, trying to block Xu Lang's breakthrough route.

It's just that after seeing Chris Paul take another step back in a panic, Xu Lang pulled back sharply at this time and returned to the free throw line.

Looking at Chris Paul, who was already two steps away from him, Xu Lang smiled, easily received the ball, and completed a very standard free throw line free throw.

Seeing Xu Lang who didn't even jump, Chris Paul felt a kind of silent insult, and immediately burned into anger.

Just feeling the wound he just had not long ago, Chris Paul could only take Carlos Boozer's serve sullenly!
