king of defenders

Chapter 1512

Guidance Gong adjusted the lineup, but the effect was not great. Except for Meng Yun and Xiang Long, the performance of the others was not satisfactory.

On the court, Meng Yun asked for a pick-and-roll, then retreated suddenly, and retreated to the three-point line to shoot, but this time he failed to make a shot. Xiang Long grabbed the rebound and made a tip-in.

In the next round, Xiang Long played back singles, and the US team assisted in defense. Meng Yun quickly cut and used his speed to throw off James. Xiang Long hit the ground and passed the ball to Meng Yun. Meng Yun caught the ball and jumped up for a layup .

Relying on Meng Yun and Xiang Long, the Chinese team was not completely suppressed by the US team, but the point difference between the two sides was still widening, and soon reached more than ten points.

"beep"

The palace guide requested a timeout.

After the players came down, Director Gong made a substitution, replacing Xiang Long, and said to the players: "The opponent is strong, everyone knows this, but if the opponent is strong, we don't have to fight, but just admit defeat?"

Everyone gasped for breath.

Director Gong said again: "We can't just rely on Meng Yun and Xiang Long. You have to stand up, score goals, and play your role. I know you are under a lot of pressure, and the opponent defends well, but it doesn't matter. It’s not that there is no chance at all, Meng Yun and Xiang Long will help you create opportunities if there is no chance. The key is whether you can seize the opportunity and score the ball.”

The players put their heads down.

It is true that they are not completely without chance.

With Meng Yun and Xiang Long, especially Meng Yun, his breakthrough can create opportunities for his teammates, but they didn't seize the opportunity, dared not play, and had no confidence to score.

"Put away your meaningless worries and worries." Director Gong said: "We will lose this game. I know this, and you all know it. Now I will tell you. Since we are destined to lose, then you still have What is there to be afraid of?"

"Wait for me to be firm, don't be afraid of not being able to make shots, don't be afraid of making mistakes, I don't blame you for not playing well, but as long as you dare to fight and stand up, you will Nothing to be ashamed of."

Listen, everyone nodded in unison.

In fact, everyone understands the truth, but when they are on the court, facing James, Durant and others, it has a great impact on the emotions and state of the players.

But now that the coach is talking about the whole thing, there is nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter if you play well or not, just play.

The pause ends soon.

On the Chinese team, Xiang Long and Fang Shuo were replaced by Zhou Qi and Guo Ailun. The US team also changed players. Durant and Harden were replaced by Westbrook and Harris.

The U.S. team has never needed inside players very much, because their outside players have too strong personal abilities, and because the players have strong personal abilities and excellent physical fitness, they can grab rebounds even without inside players. The team doesn't even have an inside lane.

At this moment, Durant was replaced, and Harris was replaced, which equated to a lineup of one big and four small.

Looking at the opponent's lineup, Meng Yun understood that the opponent just wanted to play big and four small, fast-paced, and focused on three-pointers. Harris is a shooter, and with Curry, Davis can actually shoot three-pointers. Points, and James, Westbrook can also vote, of course, the most important thing is Curry and Harris, this is a reduced version of the "Splash Brothers".

While James is in charge of controlling the field, Westbrook is in charge of breakthroughs, forcing the Chinese team to shrink the defense line so as to create opportunities for Curry and Harris outside the three-point line.

Immediately, Meng Yun reminded his teammates: "Be careful of the opponent's three-pointers, and keep an eye on Curry and Harris."

Although they saw the opponent's intentions and the Chinese players became vigilant, they still couldn't guard against it, because it was a conspiracy. Westbrook and James broke through frequently. If they didn't shrink the defense line, they would score directly. Harris and Curry will have a chance.

Two to one, how do you choose?
In the end, the defensive line was shrunk, because letting Westbrook and James break into the inside would be a sure-fire goal, no different from sending points, and it might not be certain to give the outside three-pointers a chance.

However, this "not necessarily" did not appear today. Both Harris and Curry's three-pointers feel very good and their shots are very accurate.

"We can only rely on offense, defense is impossible." Meng Yun sighed secretly.

This time he finally realized the helplessness of the Canadian team and other teams. Before that, the Canadian and other teams couldn't defend against Meng Yun and Xiang Long, and could only compete with the Chinese team in offense.

Now the Chinese team can't defend against the US team, and can only compete with offense, but the situation of the Chinese team is much more difficult than that of the Canadian team at that time.

Meng Yun caught the pick-and-roll breakthrough, rushed into the inside and jumped up.

The U.S. team now has a lineup of "one big and four small", and the inside defense is not so tight. Davis was brought to the outside by Xiang Long. After Meng Yun rushed into the inside, no one could stop him. He grabbed the ball and made a dunk. The momentum is heavy.

"nice shot."

"Awesome."

The fans shouted and cheered excitedly.

Then Guo Ailun broke through, hugged the ball and rushed to the inside of the US team, but this time he failed to score and suffered a disadvantage in the confrontation. Fortunately, he was still smart, lifted the ball in time, made a shooting action, and made a foul. Getting two points from the free throw line is considered a score.

At this moment, the players also figured it out, no matter so many, they can play as they want, and it doesn't matter if they can't score or make mistakes.

So they let go.

Although the scoring efficiency is still not high, at least someone has stepped forward to score, which can help Meng Yun and Xiang Long share some pressure.

Otherwise, point to Meng Yun and Xiang Long to score. The U.S. team is not a fool. They know that the ball will definitely go to Meng Yun or Xiang Long, and they will definitely end up in the end. Naturally, they will focus on them. Meng Yun It is even more difficult to score with Xiang Long.

Now that Guo Ailun, Yi Jianlian and others stand up to score, even if the success rate is not high, they can attract the defense of the US team to some extent, so that Meng Yun and Xiang Long can relax.

For a while, the Chinese team also withstood the attack of the American team, keeping the point difference at about [-] points, without being opened up too much.

After a while, the first quarter ended, and the US team led by 11 points.

This result is not unexpected. After all, the strength of the US team is too strong. Compared with their current lineup, the lineup of the US team in the Basketball World Cup last year was really "shabby". The biggest player is Kemba Walker, and this time Kemba Walker didn't make the Dream Team.

"The gap is really big. If it weren't for Meng Yun and Xiang Long, I'm afraid it wouldn't be just 11 points."

"Meng Yun and Xiang Long didn't play this quarter, they played the entire quarter, but their physical fitness can't handle it like this. If they don't play on the court, I'm afraid they will collapse."

Some fans were talking and shaking their heads.
