king of defenders

Chapter 683

Los Angeles, USA.

The China-US men's basketball match will be held at the Staples Arena, home of the Lakers.

On July 7th, the first match of the China-US Men's Basketball Tournament came.

The Chinese team and the US team will play two games in this competition. After the end, the Chinese team will make a slight adjustment and then rush to Brazil to welcome the Olympic Games.

The reason why the warm-up match with the US team is placed at this time is to let the Chinese team, which has gone through several rounds of warm-up matches and has been honed and improved, come to a real test to see if it is still good against the previous strong team. Being able to maintain an excellent performance, what kind of performance can you play against a team like the US team.

There were not many fans in the auditorium, because everyone knew that there was no suspense in the game. The US team's lineup was too gorgeous, and such an all-star lineup was the only one in the whole world.

It can be said that in terms of lineup alone, the Dream Team is definitely number one.

"Huh, this lineup is really scary." Guo Ailun sighed.

"Yes." Li Gen nodded.

On the plane, he still said that he was not nervous, but at this time he still said that he was involuntarily nervous.

Look at each other, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Paul George, Kyrie Irving, although there is no LeBron James, no Stephen Curry, no Russell Westbrook, James- Harden, Anthony Davis, but this lineup is already terrible.

There are Cousins ​​and Jr. Jordan at the center position. Zhou Qi's figure and they obviously can't find any advantage, and they will only suffer.

There is only Drummond Green at the power forward position. The Chinese team is fine with Yi Jianlian at this position, but it may not be able to gain the upper hand.

The small forward position is the hardest-hit area for the Chinese team. Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Peng, and Zhai Xiaochuan are definitely not opponents of Durant, Anthony, George, and Butler. Even Barnes can't take advantage of them.

The shooting guards on the U.S. team are DeRozan and Thompson. Both of them can attack and defend. Although Li Gen is called "Chinese LeBron" in China, it is obviously a joke.It's the same if Guo Ailun plays the 2nd position. His speed and confrontation are very good in China, but they are not so prominent here.

Perhaps the only position that the Chinese team can gain the upper hand is the No. 1 position.

Although Meng Yun has only played for one season, in the past season, whether Meng Yun played against Lowry or Irving, he did not lose the wind.

From the analysis of the lineup, the Chinese team is completely suppressed. Except for Meng Yun, the other points are not competitive, and they may even become loopholes and be caught and beaten by the opponent.

Can this game be won?

Can't win.

Gong Luming also knew this. When the warm-up was over, he called the players together and said: "We can't win this game, but it doesn't mean it doesn't matter. The US team is very strong, it is a test for us, and it happens to be able to Test our training and competition results during this period. So even if we lose, we still have to play hard and play as good as possible, understand?"

"Understood." The crowd responded.

Meng Yun sighed secretly, feeling very upset, losing before the fight, this feeling is really aggrieved.But there is no way, the strength gap is really too big.

Not far away, the old coach K also made some arrangements, but the players of the American team seemed very casual, without any serious atmosphere, as if they were just training.

"beep"

Game start.

On the Chinese team are Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang, Li Gen, and Meng Yun.

On the side of the US team, Jordan, Green, George, DeRozan, and Lowry were on the team. There was no Durant, no Irving, Thompson, and Cousins.However, every player in the US team is very strong, so they do not have a fixed starting lineup, because the strength gap between the starting lineup and the substitute lineup is not large.

Jordan's athletic ability is obviously better than that of Zhou Qi. He took the basketball first, and the US team got the ball. Lowry unhurriedly advanced to the frontcourt and passed it to George.

George pinched the ball around his waist, stepped out with his right foot, and made a test. Ding Yanyuhang was serious and a little nervous, so he subconsciously took half a step back. Seeing him retreating, George immediately made a move.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball was scored and a three-pointer was hit.

Ding Yanyuhang was annoyed, knowing that he was too nervous.

"It's okay, it's just the beginning." Meng Yun smiled at him.

"Yes." Ding Yan Yuhang nodded and ran to the front field.

Meng Yun took the ball in the backcourt, and Lowry won after reaching the frontcourt. Meng Yun and Lowry played against Lowry in seven games in the playoffs. In the end, the Heat won the tiebreaker and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

It can be said that Meng Yun and Lowry are already familiar with each other.

Seeing Lowry coming up, Meng Yun gestured to his teammates. The teammates came up to pick and roll. Meng Yun quickly broke through, attracted the defense and then passed the ball back to Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi made a mid-range shot.

boom!
With a muffled sound, the basketball bounced out of the basket.

On the sidelines, Gong Luming frowned secretly, Li Nan shook his head and sighed: "The players are still too nervous, after all, the opponent is the US team."

It can be seen that Zhou Qi's shot was a little stiff, obviously because he was nervous. The basketball hit the front of the basket and was caught in Green's arms. He directly launched a counterattack. DeRozan, after taking the ball, DeRozan took three big steps, and the jump was a dunk.

The score was 5:0.

The Chinese team attacked. Meng Yun took a look at the situation after advancing to the frontcourt. Zhou Qi, Ding Yanyuhang, and Li Gen didn't have any chances. The three were running, but they couldn't get rid of the defenders.Meng Yun passed the ball to Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian singled Green.

boom.

Didn't go in either.

Jordan took the rebound and gave it to Lowry. Lowry went to the frontcourt and asked for a pick-and-roll, taking the opportunity to throw off Meng Yun, and Zhou Qi from the Chinese team stepped forward to defend Lowry in a misplaced position.

Seeing that it was Zhou Qi, Lowry immediately made a breakthrough and easily passed Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi quickly turned around and chased, and Yi Jianlian on the inside also met Lowry, but when the two formed a front and back attack, Lowry split the ball in the middle and gave it to Green who came in from an air cut. Green dunked with both hands and scored.

7:0!
"Haha, it really is one-sided."

"The gap is too big, the Chinese team is really weak."

"Every time we play against the Chinese team, we win at least 40 points, even if we don't play with all our strength. If we play with all our strength, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to win by [-] or [-] points."

"I regret it. I know that there is no suspense, and I know that it is one-sided. Why do I still want to watch it? It's more interesting to go fishing at the beach."

In the auditorium, many fans were mocking.

Gong Luming had an ugly expression. He was beaten 7-0 by the opponent at the very beginning, and the score was second. The key is that he played well in the previous rounds of warm-up matches, but he couldn't do it right away against the US team.

Zhou Qi was obviously very nervous. Li Gen and Ding Yanyuhang couldn't get rid of the defenders at all. Running back and forth was purely futile. Even Yi Jianlian was exhausted. During this period of time, the back-up singles that he finally picked up could not be eaten. Green's body Quality, confrontation ability is too strong, Yi Jianlian failed to push him.

Isn't this the end?

No, not yet.

Gong Luming looked at Meng Yun: "Yes, there is also Meng Yun."
