Chapter 437: National Glory
Yao Ming stood in the center circle and Howard jumped the ball. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The ball was tossed high by the referee, and Howard won the jump ball with more speed.
The ball was in Kidd's hands.
Both teams started today exactly the same as they did in the group stage.
The starting line-up of the United States team is:
C Dwight Howard
PF Carmelo Anthony
SF LeBron James
SG Kobe Bryant
P.G. Jason Kidd
And the starting lineup of the Celestial Empire team is:
C Yao Ming
PF Nguyen Er Niu
SF Zhu Fangyu
SG Sun Yue
PG Liu Wei
Ruan Erniu returned to the position of power forward again, and the first attack of the United States men's basketball team was launched from his defender - Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony received the basketball from Kidd and shot directly from outside the three-point line.
Melon often makes some incredible shots, but he doesn't feel good in the opening game.
"Bang!" Amid the loud noise of the Celestial Empire fans, the ball hit the iron.
Yao Mingka was in the main position, took the backcourt rebound, and passed to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei dribbled the ball across the half court and passed the ball to Sun Yue, who in turn passed the ball to Ruan Erniu.
A fake shot outside the three-point line of the two bulls made a real sudden, and easily passed Anthony in one step.
Howard made up for it, Ruan Erniu flew into the air, and Howard also flew up.
The two sides came to a fierce confrontation in the air.
"Boom!"
Erniu was hit in the back by Spark's elbow in the air, and the whole person lost his balance and fell to the floor. However, at the last moment, he threw the ball away.
The basketball drew a magical arc, and it fell straight into the basket and entered!
The hearts of the audience were pinched, it doesn't matter whether the ball goes in or not, whether the person lying on the floor has a problem or not is the most noteworthy thing.
Tonight, the commentary seat of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team is still the famous double-draw combination.
Maybe Yu Jia is too young, so the important games attended by the first and second leaders still have to be presided over by the old announcer.
Sun Zhenping said worriedly: "I don't know if Ruan Erniu is in serious trouble, but this fall is not light." ”
Zhang Li also said: "Judging from slow motion, Howard's elbow pressing action is very dangerous, no matter how strong Ruan Erniu's body is, this time it is quite painful." The referee only gave a normal foul, which was too undeserved, and it should have been at least a malicious foul. ”
"Erniu, it's okay!" Da Yao immediately squatted down and asked Ruan Erniu about his condition.
He was really afraid that this man lying on the floor would withdraw from the Olympic Games, which was an unbearable result for the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.
Younas was also frantically pressuring the referee, which in his opinion was a damn murder and Howard should be ejected immediately.
"It's okay! I'm fine!" Ruan Erniu lay on the floor for a few seconds before standing up without anyone's support.
His face was quite calm, and there was no anger on his face.
Erniu stood on the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily.
At 3:0, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team opened the scoring.
Kidd dribbled across half court and passed the ball to James.
James faced Zhu Fangyu's defense, and an acceleration passed Zhu 8's defense.
This is perhaps the group with the largest physical gap of all the opponents on the field.
In the group stage, James still focused on tandem attack, but in this game, he significantly increased his attacking awareness.
But FIBA and NBA are still different, Da Yao, who occupies the inside position, doesn't have to move at all, he stuck James's upside, and didn't give Ah KING a chance to take off at all.
James opted for a pass and distributed the ball to Howard on the weak side.
The spark was empty, and he got a direct attack on the basket.
Just as he was jumping, Sun Yue suddenly jumped up from behind him and slapped the ball on the basketball.
The spark couldn't hold the ball, and the basketball bounced off the rebound.
At this time, Sun Yue's sense of co-defense is too amazing, and under Younas's joint defense system, his instantaneous contraction defense ability is amazing.
The Lakers fancy him not just because of his ball handling and three-point shooting.
Erniu and Spark jumped at the same time, and Erniu, who was faster, pulled the ball back a little, and then jumped a second time and took the rebound.
The United States men's basketball team quickly retreated, and Erniu saw that there was no fast attack opportunity, so he immediately gave the ball to Liu Wei, who controlled the ball for half the court.
Ruan Erniu asked for the ball in the low position on the offensive end, Liu Wei first passed the ball to Da Yao in the high position, and Yao Ming immediately made a straight plug and sent the ball to Erniu's arms.
With his back to one-on-one, Ruan Erniu misplaced Howard.
“COME-ON!”
Ruan Erniu roared angrily, turned around sharply, and stood up.
Howard was also in his prime, and the two had another fierce confrontation in the air.
"Bang!" This time, the spark covered Erniu.
The two had a stalemate in the air.
After a brief period of freedom, the basketball was once again taken by Ruan Erniu.
Ruan Erniu, who had just landed, immediately jumped for the second time, and facing Howard was a slap!
"Bang!"
"Toot!"
The basketball was slashed into the basket, and at the same time the referee's whistle sounded, the ball went in, 2+1!
“WHAT?” Spark immediately stepped forward unhappily and theorized, "I didn't foul." ”
In just two rounds, he has 2 fouls, let alone in FIBA, which only has 5 foul opportunities, even in the NBA, Howard has to rest.
"Loser, are you ready to win the silver medal?" Ruan Erniu said in Howard's ear, intentionally or unintentionally, before he left the court.
"You wait, Celestial Empire!" Howard stared at Ruan Erniu angrily, and finally returned to the player box with anger, for the honor of the motherland, he had to be patient, just like Ruan Erniu who had just been knocked to the ground by him.
Ruan Erniu made another penalty to add a penalty, 6:0.
Forget the score behind, and what is more serious is that Sparks were sent off the field again.
This is obviously not good news for the protection of the US men's basketball team on the inside.
Chris Bosh, who was substituted, was also not dominant against the two bulls.
Kobe Bryant shot from mid-range and missed again, and the rebound did not feel good after the opening.
Ruan Erniu won the rebound in the backcourt and immediately started the "Wild Bull Sprint" and went straight to the frontcourt.
James and Anthony went one after the other, choosing to trap him.
Ruan Erniu strode into the free throw line, and the three of them flew into the air at the same time.
Ruan Erniu made a fold in the air, and before falling, under the bag of the two 03 superstars, he threw a backhand with his right hand and sent the ball to the basket.
One, two, three rounds, the basketball spun around the basket for a while, and finally it still plunged headlong into it.
At 8:0, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team once again got a golden start.
The United States men's basketball team is not serious, but in the face of Ruan Erniu, who exploded at the beginning, they are also helpless.
Superstars are unstoppable, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team has long been conscious, and their game is to use Ruan Erniu as an attack arrow to find a breakthrough in the seemingly powerful United States men's basketball team.
The old K in the coach's seat couldn't sit still, and he kept yelling at the players of the rice team, asking them to strengthen the defensive intensity of Ruan Erniu.
However, Lao K also understands in his heart that Kraft Nguyen, who has found his form, is not so easy to stop.
Murphy's law has come true, the more you don't want it to happen, the more it will happen, and the United States men's basketball team once again encountered trouble in the opening stage.
What to do?
Mike D'Antoni stood up and spoke his advice.
