Many NBA stars will be very uncomfortable on the international stage, like the American Dream Team has too many stars, and a group of big names who are used to being the core are not used to being role players. Zhou Xuan will not, he is the absolute core of the Chinese team, with unlimited shooting power, he also has decision-making power on the field, and can adjust the coach's tactical arrangements at any time.

The person that Coach Luis trusts the most is Pau Gasol. He has been at the heart of Spain for many years and one of the best stars in Europe. Today, though, he's not as good as Ibaka in terms of pick-and-roll breakouts, and Luis struggles with how to use him. Gasol Jr. is not on it, and the protection under the basket is not enough, Yao Ming may turn into a big killer.

After five minutes in the third quarter, Luiz replaced Ibaka and put the Gasol brothers on the inside. Zhou Xuan scored 6 points in a row by relying on the double block, announcing the failure of the Spanish adjustment.

A minute and a half later, Zhou Xuan quickly counterattacked and caused a foul, hitting both free throws, and his personal score reached 41 points.

Spain replaced Gasol Jr. and replaced Ibaka, and the Chinese team, under the organization of Zhou Xuan, began to focus on the inside line Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. Zhou Xuan is more of a no-ball run, attracting defense, and letting Sun Yue, who has a height advantage, drop the ball inside. Relying on the offense, the Chinese team firmly controlled the situation.

In the last attack of the Chinese team, Zhou Xuan singled out Calderon, and after breaking through, he made a quick stop jump shot on the right side, scoring 15 points in a single quarter and 43 points and 5 assists in the third quarter. China led 77-71.

Zhou Xuan did not rest in the fourth quarter, the Olympic game was only 40 minutes, and he was used to 48 minutes of NBA games, as long as he rested for a while in the second quarter, it was enough to play about 35 minutes.

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian take turns to rest, and the playing time can also be guaranteed to be about 30 minutes, and other role players work the court, so they don't have to worry about physical strength and rotation.

The second longest time on the periphery is Wang Shipeng, who shoots well, moves at an okay speed, and is in good shape. At the World Championships, he also shot a stunner for China and won the trust of the coach.

After the start of the last quarter, Deng Huade replaced Sun Yue and replaced Zhu Fangyu. Sun Yue's hand was too bad, 1 of 8 shots, several times the side striker retreated to wrap Zhou Xuan, and he missed the empty position after receiving the pass.

This substitution gave Spain an opportunity. Relying on the blocking tactics, Ibaka hit three mid-range shots in a row to tie the score. Zhu Fangyu didn't play a role after he came on the court, and he didn't score a point in 0 of 3 shots.

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball through the half court and gave his teammates a code to pull them away. In 2008, he couldn't beat Spain, just a little, and now that he has joined, it would be too shameless if he couldn't beat again. So he decided to use the most straightforward way to solve the problem. When they played the Heat playoffs and eliminated their opponents single-handedly, now they play Spain, can they defend better than James and Wade?

After pulling away, the person who defended him was Lirumeria.

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball to his right hand under his crotch, shook his right shoulder slightly, and then changed direction to the left, holding the ball in his left hand and bringing his right hand closer. Lirumeria watched Zhou Xuan's NBA game footage and lowered his center of gravity, believing that he was likely to change direction in the middle.

Just watching the video doesn't fully understand Zhou Xuan, and now his feints are integrated, and it doesn't take a second to make adjustments to the opponent's choice. Zhou Xuan was stunned, and his left hand directly took the ball to the bottom line on the left side. Lirumeria hurriedly followed from the side, took a big step with his right foot and just touched the ground, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball to his right hand with his left hand, took the ball and retreated to open the distance, 60-degree jumper, and the ball hollowed into the net. 79 to 77.

Zhou Xuan scored his 45th point.

Spain attacked, passed back and forth on the outside, and the Chinese team expanded the defensive area, which made Spain a little uncomfortable. The Gasol brothers pulled to the perimeter to block and dismantle, and the ball passed to Gasol Jr., Yao Ming had to defend it, and Gasol Jr.'s jump shot was missed. Today the two showed a big gap. On the offensive end, Gasol Jr. has completely played soy sauce and has only scored six points so far, shooting 2-of-7 and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line. He also only grabbed 4 rebounds, which was very inefficient.

Yi Jianlian took the backcourt rebound and gave it to Zhou Xuan to organize, and everyone pulled away again.

Seeing this situation, Louis muttered in his heart, is the Chinese team planning to let Zhou Xuan play such unlimited singles? Led the attack in the half of the court yourself?

Zhou Xuan is this plan, it is not wrong for him to consume his physical strength, but it also allows Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian to save their physical strength on the offensive end, and they can work harder on the defensive end, especially at this time, they need to go out to fill the position inside.

Zhou Xuan singled Lirumeria again, dribbled the ball under his crotch to the right side, then dribbled the ball behind his back to his left hand, and gently changed direction to the right side. His pace is not so fast that people can't keep up, and his sense of rhythm is very good. As soon as Lirumeria kept up, it was a bad thing, as soon as his left foot landed, Zhou Xuan pulled the ball up again, and strode towards the middle and turned around.

This turn did not seek a breakthrough, but the sideways move opened up the distance, and jumped up in the middle of the three-point line, Lirumeria ate a feint and almost played a split, and he couldn't even interfere. Ibaka made up for the defense, and Zhou Xuan passed to Yi Jianlian, who scored easily under the basket. 81 to 77.

Ibakla went to the perimeter to block and dismantle, this time Wang Shipeng interfered in time, the jump shot was missed, and Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

Everyone pulled away again, letting Zhou Xuan go alone. This time the defender became Navarro.

Navarro has poor physical fitness, he can't jump high and run fast, he is not as good as Zhou Xuan, he was forced to return to China after playing one season in the NBA, his advantage lies in experience, and he has done a good job in anticipating breakthroughs.

Zhou Xuan broke through on the right side of the ball, and Navarro followed on the side and was not easily passed. Zhou Xuan leaned on him with his back, his left shoulder swayed at 45 degrees, and turned to the right to make a 60-degree quick jump shot. Navarro used an eye-sealing defense, and he was used to being blinded by Battier in the Knicks. He knew Navarro's bounce and calculated that it would not be covered, and there was not much pressure, and the ball was hollow into the net. 83 to 77.

Zhou Xuan scored 47 points. Coach Luis called a timeout.

When he got off the field, Zhou Xuan and his teammates high-fived one by one. The fans at the scene also gave him warm applause, and it seemed to have become the home of the Chinese team.

Yu Jia sighed: "Zhou Xuan is likely to lead the national team to defeat Spain for the first time in this game. His scoring ability is too strong, and he has to score 50+ in the first game. ”

Zhang Li said: "And Zhou Xuan is about to break the record." In the history of the Olympic men's basketball team, the most individual points scored in a single game was the 55 points set by Brazilian player Oscar Schumit in 1988, and the opponent happened to be Spain. In second place is Australian Parubinskas with 48 points. Zhou Xuan only needs one more shot to break this record. ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Yao Ming's 39 points against New Zealand in 2004 also ranked in the top 10, and he was the most points scored by a Chinese player, and this record has been broken by Zhou Xuan. ”

After the pause, the Chinese team made substitutions, Liu Wei came on the field, replaced Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Shipeng took the No. 3 position. This is a targeted substitution, Spain sent Fernandez to play the No. 3 position, and Wang Shipeng did not suffer a loss against him.

Spain on the perimeter is also a double back, Calderón and veteran Rodriguez.

If it weren't for Rubio's injury, it would have been difficult for Rodriguez to be selected for the Spanish national team. Now Spain needs his breakthrough to open things up.

Spain double-screened, and Rodriguez broke through successfully as soon as he came up, causing Yao Ming to foul. This is Yao's third foul, but the Olympic rules are that five fouls are sent off, and he has to be careful.

The throw-in was issued, Fernandez forced a breakthrough jumper and missed, and Pau Gasol took the rebound and scored on the basket. Yao Ming was afraid of fouls and didn't go all out to block them. 83 to 79.

The Chinese team attacked, and Zhou Xuan faced Calderón.

Spain really can't find a good defensive guard, Calderón has a strong playmaking and three-point ability, and the height can't keep him on the bench. After Zhou Xuan and Yi Jianlian blocked and dismantled, Ibaka immediately changed defenses. On the side, Fernandez retreated to assist the defense, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball to the right side 60 degrees.

Wang Shipeng took a shot after receiving the ball and hit his fourth three-pointer of the game. 86 to 79.

Zhang Li shouted: "Beautiful, Wang Shipeng played the role of a veteran today, and he feels great." ”

Yu Jia said: "Role players don't need to take on too many tasks, as long as the ball comes and dares to shoot. Now the situation is very favorable for the Chinese team. ”

Spain attacked, and Zhou Xuan followed Rodriguez. Previously, he was in charge of Calderon's opponent, and Calderon was the three-pointer on the perimeter and was responsible for moving the ball. There were no successful one-on-one breakaways, and there were only 4 assists. The Chinese team needs to defend against breakthroughs, so Zhou Xuan is on it.

After the pick-and-roll, Rodriguez passed the ball to Ibaka, who leaned his back against Zhou Xuan and turned to the left. Zhou Xuan retreated in time, and then stepped forward to get close, Ibaka was used to catching the ball and throwing, the ball was not in good rhythm, and he chose to pass. Fernandez held the ball and forced a breakthrough past Wang Shipeng, and the basket was hatted by Yao Ming.

Zhou Xuan immediately killed out, and Liu Wei picked up the ball and made a long pass to launch a fast attack. Zhou Xuan shook off Ibaka two steps away, received a pass one step before the free throw line, and scored a layup. 49th personal score.

88 to 79, the margin widened to nine points.

Spain attacked, Gasol pulled out to block and dismantle, did not make a strong shot after receiving the ball, and the high position should pass the ball from the top of Zhou Xuan's head to the bottom line. The weakness of the Chinese team's poor defense line has reappeared. Fernandez received the ball and turned around to throw the ball in, Yao Ming was tired, and the defense was a little slower. 88 to 81.

The Chinese team attacked, four players pulled away, and Zhou Xuan singled Calderon.

Calderón is going crazy today. In the NBA, he was abused by Zhou Xuan, and he couldn't do anything, and it can be said that there is a big difference in strength between the Raptors and the Knicks. Now on the international stage, he is still the abused party.

Zhou Xuan continued to dribble under his crotch in the middle to advance to the three-point line, holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand, Calderon did not take a feint and lowered his center of gravity, Zhou Xuan changed direction to the left side, dribbled a step and stopped the dribble under the crotch of his left hand to the right hand to retreat, and it was another time with the ball in his right hand and close to his left hand.

He was too skilled at doing it. This time, Calderon took a small step forward, and Zhou Xuan once again used the "Buddha worship" feint, passing people in one step, and scored a 45-degree jumper on the left side, scoring his 51st personal point. 90 to 81.

Coach Luis called another timeout.
