Chapter 0435 - Wishful Thinking
After using two timeouts, the team also has a new countermeasure.
The U.S. team also made changes in offense, Curry actually pulled it out to play, Ye Bufan didn't care for a while, he didn't expect him to really put in a mid-range shot, which surprised everyone, you know, he had never been in that even a mid-range shot before!
So even he himself was amused, grinning and joking with his teammates: "Look, even God is awake!" β
But his luck didn't seem to be so good, and then he tried two more times, but the damn ball was against him, and all of them came out of the basket, allowing Ye Bufan to grab two rebounds in vain.
If you can't shoot, Ye Bufan is not polite to you, take the opportunity to launch a fast attack, before the opponent does not form a circle, a breakthrough dunk, an unreasonable three-pointer, instantly widen the difference to 15 points.
Curry didn't dare to shoot anymore, obediently helped his teammates do the pick-and-roll, and shouted: "Damn, damn God, I'm lazy to sleep again!" β
However, the U.S. team is not a weak team after all, and when they saw that the inside line was blocked, they immediately changed their tactics, began to run frequently, opened up the space, and got a relatively easy shooting opportunity, and finally did not let the Chinese team pull the score bigger.
After a few rounds, the Huaxia team still led by 10 points at 85-75 and entered the timeout.
"Everybody runs, we're giving them too many open shots, and that's dangerous. Once the players of the American team go crazy, the consequences are very serious, these people are emotional, and it is difficult to stop once they are excited. Lu Bin reminded the team members.
At the same time, he also made substitutions, Cui Zhecheng and Shi Fei replaced Wang Hong and Guo Lun, and continued to increase the intensity of the defense.
It's not that Cui Zhecheng's defense is better than Wang Hong's, but you think, after fighting against a beast-type interior like Curry for so long, the iron man will also be tired!
"Xiao Cui, try to push that big black guy out when you go up, don't let him get close to the basket easily, so that his threat will be reduced a lot!" Before going on the field, Lu Bin confessed to Cui Zhecheng.
The two sides returned to the court, and the American team also made substitutions, and the depressed Curry was replaced, and a guard came up, and it seems that the American team is also going to play a small lineup.
It is also a small lineup, but playing a small lineup is the strength of the Huaxia team, and it is easy to attack and defend, on the other hand, the American team, because it is the first time to use it, it seems a little jerky to cooperate, plus Ye Bufan is one against two, and the Huaxia team still has the upper hand.
Jackson controlled the ball, he faced Ye Bufan's defense, calmly commanded his teammates to run, and fought against Ye Bufan a lot, he gradually became familiar with Ye Bufan's defensive movements, and was no longer afraid of dribbling.
The two American players on the baseline crossed and ran back, using the cover of the center, Wiggins threw Chen Chen, who was defending him, and Jackson's ball also passed, he received the ball and threw it, the ball drew a high arc, hit the basket and bounced a few times, and finally fell into the net reluctantly.
βyesοΌβ Wiggins threw his fist hard, he was choked enough throughout the game, rarely got open shots, and his ability to create shots himself was not very good, so he looked depressed all the time.
It was the turn of the Huaxia team to attack, Cui Zhecheng raised the high position and vacated the inside line, Ye Bufan was a false flicker, and he was about to break through, Jackson and Barnes next to him hurriedly clamped it over when they saw this, who knew that Ye Bufan immediately took another step back, so that the two of them pounced, Shi Fei was a clever ghost, and immediately cut into the seam, Ye Bufan weirdly hit the earth, passed through the middle of Jackson and Barnes, Shi Fei received the ball with a light pick, and easily scored 2 points.
Brown Sr. saw that it was not an option, and put Curry back on the court, expecting him to help on the inside, and not always making it easy for people to score.
Perhaps inspired by the off-court observation, Davis played a role after coming on the court, dunked after two consecutive blocks, and gave Chen Chen a big hat when defending, which was considered a breath.
It was Curry's timely awakening that the U.S. team chased the score to 90-102 at the end of the third quarter, "only" trailing by 12 points into the life-or-death fourth quarter.
The crowd on the sidelines shouted happily, the two sides of this kind of game of wide open and closed can attract the audience the most, fast and wonderful attack is always what the audience wants to see, not like those games that make people drowsy.
"Mr. Su, you have watched the competition for so many years, have you ever seen a better looking final than this one?" Yu Jia asked with a smile.
"To be honest, I haven't really seen it. Generally speaking, the final is related to the ownership of the championship, and the average team will inevitably have a lot of scruples and dare not attack with all their might, but work harder on defense, which leads to a big reduction in the enjoyment of the game. Teacher Su said with deep feelings.
Yu Jia said: "So far in this game, Ye Bufan has got five doubles: 38 points, 18 assists, 13 rebounds, 10 steals and 11 blocks, so he has also created a myth, that is, he won five doubles in the finals of a World Series, and it is a super big five-double!" β
The last quarter began, both sides were on the main side, and it was up to the 10 minutes who would have the last laugh.
Jackson shook off Ye Bufan with the help of blocking and dismantling, rushed all the way to the inside line, and in the face of Wang Hong's blocking, he did not hesitate and scored 2 points with a small throw.
There are only 10 points, Jackson is a little relieved, as long as he scores another goal and narrows the difference to single digits, then the mentality of both sides will turn around, their morale will be greatly boosted, and the Chinese team may be chaotic.
However, his wishful thinking immediately fell through, after a series of wonderful cooperation of the Huaxia team, Ye Bufan threw the ball to the basket, and Wang Hong of the inner line was completely empty, he volleyed up, caught the ball in the air and pressed it down, beautiful "demolish your house"!
The United States team was not reconciled, after a few consecutive counterruns, the bottom corner found a vacancy, Barnes received the ball and shot, the ball flew to the basket, naughtily turned a few times in the basket, and finally came out, and several big men under the basket rose at the same time, wanting to pick up the rebound.
The shortest one in the crowd had the fastest bounce speed and the highest jump, and when he held the ball in his hand, he shouted after landing: "Attack!" The clever Chen Chen immediately ran away, caught the ball with a position advantage over the American team members, and slid through a long distance in the air in three steps, and won the split.
"Ye Bufan's bounce is really not blown, you see, so many big men grabbed it together, and he took it away with 1.8 meters, and his title of rebounding king is really well deserved!" Teacher Su sighed.
Curry was really convinced of Ye Bufan at this time, the ball just now was originally under his control, with his height of 2.08 meters and super long arm span, it was really unbelievable that Ye Bufan, who was in a disadvantageous position, took the ball.
