Chapter 846: A big lead

At the beginning of the second quarter, Jiang Xinquan replaced Yao Ming, and Bart, who was on the court, did not have Yao Ming's offensive ability, which made the American team breathe a sigh of relief, but they immediately discovered that their nightmare had just begun.

In the second quarter, Ding Hongxing began to exert his might, in the first quarter, he only shot twice, both of which were fast-break dunks, and only scored four points, and the American team almost forgot his existence, but at the beginning of the second quarter, Ding Hongxing was a dry three-point shooter, which looks similar to the offensive style of the American team, but don't forget that Ding Hongxing is the top three-point shooter who scored full points in the three-point competition, and this kind of shooting is a conventional shooting method for him.

After Payton missed a three-point shot, Ding Hongxing turned around and scored three points again, and the difference was instantly widened to 14 points, which was already a very dangerous score, Tomjanovic had no choice but to call a timeout again, and he arranged for Kidd to play in advance, so that he and Payton, the two most defensive guards, would wrap up and defend Ding Hongxing.

In front of Ding Hongxing, even the American team had to temporarily put aside their pride.

The U.S. team's attack, by Mo Ning used the inside advantage to hit a goal, which also made him depressed out of a bad breath, but turned around, the Chinese team's attack, Ding Hongxing and Wang Zhizhi blocked and dismantled an unpredictable back pass, handed the ball to Wang Zhizhi outside the three-point line, Wang Zhizhi raised the knife and hit the three-point shot, and the Chinese team led by 15 points.

The wonderful performance of the Chinese team made the Chinese fans on the sidelines red, they were waving the five-star red flag all over the field, sparing no effort to cheer for the team, and their physical exertion may not be smaller than some players on the field.

Tomjanovic let out a long sigh, his worst fear had happened, he had long seen that the Chinese team's style of play was almost copied from the Rockets' style of play, and if a few outside shooters were allowed to shoot away, the game would be difficult to play.

He originally thought that the pitchers of the Chinese team would not be as good as the Rockets, but when he saw Wang Zhizhi, a big man who is more than 2.10 meters tall, can shoot three-pointers with such a soft touch, he seems to see another Rasheed Wallace.

Now, it's time for Tomjanovic to make a decision, whether to continue to pack Ding Hongxing, or strengthen the defense of the other pitchers in the Chinese team?

In the shortest possible time, Tomjanovic made a decision and continued to wrap Ding Hongxing, as the head coach of the Rockets, he knows how terrible Ding Hongxing is, he knows it very clearly, in the case of his good hand, if he doesn't contain him, that is to find death, he can completely defeat the American team alone, he believes that other players are just ordinary players after all, they can't shoot goals forever, if that's really the case, then accept fate.

In the following games, although the U.S. team's scoring was difficult, their scores always rose slowly, and the Chinese team's pitchers also played at a high level, their open shooting percentage remained above 50 percent, and the Chinese team's lead remained above 15 points.

This kind of situation is what Ding Hongxing is happy to see, he occasionally shoots one or two balls, and more often he assists his teammates, and in the second half of the second quarter, his assists have already doubled.

In the second half of the second quarter, Yao Ming went into battle again, after resting for half a quarter of the game, he was in good spirits, Ding Hongxing had one more passing option at this time, and the American team was even more difficult to prevent, and the inside line of the American team was going to experience ravages again, Yao Ming was in good shape today, and the inside line of the American team defended him alone, which was completely ravaged.

Not long after Yao Ming came on the court, he made another foul on Mo Ning, and Mo Ning could only be replaced depressed again.

The U.S. team had no choice but to use Garnett to defend Yao Ming, but Garnett defended Yao Ming, substitute center Davis couldn't guard against outside the three-point line, the U.S. team's outside defense door was wide open, Ding Hongxing's casual pass was an empty space, the Chinese team continued to expand its lead, and the U.S. team relied entirely on the individual abilities of the stars to score,

There was no tactical organization, and by the end of the second quarter, the Chinese team had a 21-point lead over the American team by 63 to 42, a result that surprised everyone, who would have thought that the powerful American team would look so weak in front of the Chinese team.

At halftime, Tomjanovic, who has always been mild-mannered, rarely lost his temper with the players, and he said let you underestimate the enemy, look, the consequences of underestimating the enemy are like this, the opponent has a double MVP from last season, are they weak? Don't take the game too simply, ( ) Treat this game as if it were an NBA Finals tiebreaker, or else you will lose the championship.

After all, Tomjanovic was the NBA championship coach last season, with a total of three championships, and he is still very prestigious in the NBA league, and now the situation is so critical that these stars have to listen to Tomjanovic's words.

At the start of the second half, the U.S. team really changed their attitude to the game, they increased their defensive intensity, they played to their advantages of strong confrontation ability and speed, and constantly rotated and disrupted the Chinese team's shooting.

Under this defensive intensity, the players of the Chinese team were a little flustered, their shooting percentage began to decline, and even began to make mistakes, while the American team's counterattack fast break began to show its power, they won three consecutive rounds, a dunk successful, an inside line two plus one, and a chase three-pointer, playing an 8-0 small **, the head coach of the Chinese team Jiang Xinquan had to call a timeout.

This pause is just to stabilize the mentality of the players, there is nothing to adjust tactically, now it is just that the goal cannot be scored.

After the timeout, Ding Hongxing made a personal breakthrough layup and stabilized the situation a little, but at this time the mood of the American team was already excited, Payton and Garnett made three three-pointers in a row, narrowing the difference between the two sides to less than ten points, and Jiang Xinquan had to call a timeout again.

At this pause, Jiang Xinquan firmly said to Ding Hongxing: "Then you have the opportunity to attack by yourself, don't keep thinking about passing." ”

This is Jiang Xinquan's trust in Ding Hongxing's personal ability, since other players can't shoot now, then it depends on the superstar's play, at present, the Chinese team only has Ding Hongxing such a superstar, who does not rely on him?
