Chapter 240: The Miracle Generation is Out
"Ikebana has just caught up with Iverson's terrifying speed!" Fu Chen exclaimed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"This guy of Ikebana is really worthy of anyone compared to talent!" Yang Ping watched with elation, as excited as if he had defeated Iverson himself. In terms of starting 100 meters, the flower path is much worse than Iverson, but in terms of instant explosiveness, he is not inferior.
Utu calmly controlled the ball and was still a tactic to stall for time. Iverson was impatient and forced his way down to stay focused.
Utu made the gesture of number six, and Hanamichi, Zebei and Liang Kuan were stunned for a moment, and then they went their separate ways. Zebei ran to the bottom right corner, He Yashi pulled to the left wing, and after a cross ripped the defense of the American team, Zebei went around and ran back to the middle, running to the position of Hanamichi and Liang Kuan.
Zebei passed between the two teammates, and the two of them each took a step in, forcibly sewing the man together. Williams, who was chasing after him, was caught off guard and crashed into Liang Kuan, but he hit himself not lightly. Cato and Duncan didn't have time to get over the wall of people that the duo had combined to distract each other.
Zebei received a pass from Utu and calmly hit a three-point shot, 43-40, and the Chinese team chased only 3 points!
"Nice elevator cover!" Yao Ming couldn't help but exclaim: "In the era when I played, there was no such advanced tactics, it was really wonderful!" β
"Even now, there are only a handful of professional teams that use this tactic." Li Lutong also nodded again and again: "Coach An is really good at coaching, admire!" β
The U.S. team requested a timeout.
"Well played!" Everyone praised Utu's courageous performance. In these rounds, Utu completely suppressed the scoring leader of the American team Iverson on both offensive and defensive ends, and the Chinese team was able to narrow the gap to a single goal.
"Everybody played well." Coach An also affirmed their performance, but immediately poured another basin of cold water: "The next stage may be the most difficult. The Americans will not tolerate being caught up by us, and they should be in the best possible lineup. β
The strongest lineup! These four words sound simple, but everyone knows how terrifying it is, and you must know that Team USA has never had a Miracle Generation five at the same time! It's not just as simple as adding up the power of five players at the same time, and there are no more individuals like Duncan or Williams on the defensive end who are not as capable as Chinese players.
Each one is a superstar, each one is a peerless genius, there is not even a single weakness, the impeccable American team!
"Don't say much else, let's just talk about Cato, who is invincible in single defense on the inside, and Davis, who has a large coverage area in the interior defense." Liang Kuan couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about it: "This kind of inside line is too difficult to deal with!" β
"There's not much time left in the first half of the room, so we need to take a break." Coach An muttered: "Mu Gangxian and Liang Kuan form a twin tower!" Iverson also has to be defended by Utu, in addition to Zhang Daoxian and Zhu Xingda. β
The timeout time soon came, and when Liang Kuan and the others returned to the court, they were slightly surprised.
Sure enough, as Coach An expected, the five members of the Miracle Generation appeared at the same time!
But what the players didn't expect was that the first to taunt was not the arrogant Cato or the ruthless Kidd, but the more honest Davis.
"Does the Chinese team only have an inside line with a height of 2 meters?" Davis looked at Mu Gangxian, his eyes full of pity: "This kind of height, in the United States, is at most a small forward, and I can't eat it at all." β
Mu Gangxian's face changed, the huge height gap between him and Davis is indeed what everyone is worried about, and it is likely to become a hole in the Chinese team's defense.
On the first offense after the U.S. team's timeout, Kidd seemed to see through their concerns and passed the ball directly to the basket.
"It's too high!" Mu Gangxian didn't jump at all, he knew that he couldn't stop the pass, so he could only try in vain to prevent Davis from jumping through the confrontation.
But Davis dodged Mu Gangxian with a dexterous dodge, jumped up far away from the ball landing, and with an amazing bounce and an extra-long arm extension, he actually grabbed the ball that landed far away, and then sent it to the basket!
China was about to reorganize the offensive, Iverson suddenly started a steal pass, hit the basket to the double bag and accurately passed the ball back to the follow-up Battier, who turned to move outside the three-point line, attracting Zhang Dao to pass inside one after another.
Cato, who cut into the basket, roared like an overloaded heavy truck, and he jumped up and scored a slam dunk after receiving the ball, 47-40!
"Don't be ashamed anymore!" Cato yelled after a slam dunk: "Don't turn this show of skills into a real game!" β
"He looks down on us!" Ikebana eyes breathed fire: "Isn't this a game?" β
"Humph!" Liu Chuan snorted heavily, his face like frost.
Cato's arrogance has completely ignited the anger of these talented players!
But the difference in strength is still obvious, the basket is completely dominated by the terrifying twin towers of the American team, the Chinese team lost the ball and could not grab the rebound, and the shooting rate was pitifully low, and the score difference could only widen. At the end of the first half, the score came to 53-42, and since this timeout, only Zhang Daoxian relied on two free throws to score a pitiful 2 points.
"The inner line led by Liang Kuan was actually defeated by the United States." CarrΓ© felt a chill when he saw it: "The twin towers of the American team are too strong, unless I partner with Liang Kuan, I can compete a little!" β
Carley can see it, and the Chinese coaching staff can naturally see it, but they are really poor in donkey skills at this time.
"Defensively, only Ah Kuan can barely deal with Cato, right?" He Yashi asked: "So who can keep an eye on Davis?" Me and Gangxian must not be able to. β
Coach An didn't answer, just looked at Ikebana.
He Jinan, who is closest to Davis in height, has fallen, and Liang Kuan, the second height, has to keep an eye on Cato. Then the only one who can prevent Davis is Hanamichi!
Hanamichi looked at the concerned eyes of his teammates around him, and suddenly laughed proudly: "Hahaha, you stupid people, you still have to rely on the performance of this genius at a critical moment!" Don't worry, I'll completely seal that Davis with the 'Hum Hum Humm' super defensive Davis! β
"No, ikebana!" Coach An decisively stopped: "You can't use 'hum hum hum', that trick is too expensive!" If you're running out of energy, there's no one else to deal with Davis right now! β
"I can't stop him, I can only rely on you!" Mu Gangxian patted him on the shoulder seriously.
Hanamichi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that everyone meant to let him play the second half. For the first time, he felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders.
"I'll give it my all, give it a try!"
