Chapter 177: The Great War between China and the United States (14)
Liu Han, who ran to his own half of the court with an indifferent face, felt that his knees were becoming more and more sore, and he made various emergency stops and changes of direction in the high-speed march to put his knees under pressure beyond imagination, Liu Han knew that he was about to get close to the limit, but he still didn't want to give up, he had to leave something for his basketball career, and defeating the mighty American team would undoubtedly be the greatest glory of his basketball career. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the half of the Chinese team, Liu Han was greeted by various high-fives and chest bumps from his teammates, Liu Han was like a returning king, and he was surrounded by loyal and brave guards.
Liu Han's unreasonable goal made the American team a little stunned, and the Chinese team, which had played a full three and a half quarters of positional battles, suddenly played a fast attack, and Liu Han shot three points alone as if no one was in a no-man's land, which made the players of the American team psychologically shocked.
The young people in the U.S. team inevitably have a mentality that this person cannot match, and when they think about Liu Han's age of 27, they feel that their future career is bleak, and perhaps the future can only wait for this Chinese to leave the NBA again before they have a chance to win the championship.
Larry? Brown had to use up the last short timeout early after seeing Liu Han's performance and the stunned players on the field, and he couldn't watch the Chinese team regain momentum.
"Gentlemen, don't lose faith, we are Americans, basketball was invented by us, and then we let the world re-understand basketball again in '92, this sport is our patent, so take courage, gentlemen, beat them, defeat that Chinese, only by beating him can you win the championship, you can beat him again in the NBA, don't hesitate, now this is already a war, you are all fighters, stop that Chinese from scoring, this is what we must do."
Now in the game, Larry? Brown felt that it was more tiring than coaching the Finals, more exhausting than coaching the Philadelphia 76ers, but he had to persevere, having been beaten by that Chinese team many times, and he didn't want to accept defeat here again.
After the timeout, the U.S. team seemed to regain some of their courage and they resumed their attack.
Larry Brown replaced Stoudemire again with Richard, who has three-point ability? Jefferson, now the U.S. team is desperately chasing points, and the three-point shot is undoubtedly the best, although they have not had much touch from the outside the whole game.
Iverson dribbled the ball to the front court and did not encounter Liu Han's marking, at this time Liu Han needed to save the last physical attack, and the Chinese team continued to use joint defense tactics to defend.
Iverson resisted his strong desire to shoot three points and hoisted the ball to Duncan, although the Chinese's defensive position was still about two meters away from him at this time, but Iverson knew that the other party would give enough interference when he shot, and he really didn't feel it today.
After Duncan got the ball in the high post, the U.S. team's tactics began to run, and Iverson, who had always been outside the tactics, took the initiative to cover Anthony who ran without the ball.
Anthony took Duncan's hand-handed pass and went straight to the three-point line, but he shot the ball a little hastily, the basketball bounced high behind the basket, and the players of the American team rushed to the basket to grab the rebound.
Yao Min originally took the rebound in a dominant position, but before he could hold the ball steadily, James took the ball out of his hand.
James, who completed the steal under the basket, was directly strong, but Yi Jianlian made up the defense in time and successfully interfered with James's second offense, but Jefferson, who came from the bottom line on the other side, directly completed the dunk, and the American team bit the score again.
There were four minutes and nine seconds left until the end of the race.
The American team that completed the offense all quickly returned to defense except for James, and James targeted Liu Han for the first time, and the American team knew that only Liu Han could launch a fast attack for the Chinese team.
Yao Min under the basket originally planned to serve directly from the baseline to launch a fast attack, but at this time, Liu Han lost an effective receiving position, and he no longer pursued a fast serve.
Liu Han shook continuously to get rid of James and then smoothly received the ball, and the Chinese team turned to positional battles.
As soon as they entered the positional battle, the U.S. team once again desperately surrounded Liu Han, and Liu Han met James and Richard just after halftime? Jefferson's bag clip.
Liu Han decisively passed the ball to Yi Jianlian in the high position, Yi Jianlian, who was only 17 years old, did seem a little helpless at this time, and at the same time Anthony also guarded against it.
However, Yao Min ran to the periphery in time to relieve Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian immediately passed the ball to Yao Min.
At the moment when Yao Min received the ball, Duncan showed his shrewdness, he took advantage of Yao Min just received the ball, and decisively started to talk about the ball, Yao Min realized that he was cut off and immediately fell to the ground to regain control of the ball, but his height became a disadvantage at this time, and Duncan poked the ball out lightly.
At this time, Liu Han was still entangled by James and Jefferson, Iverson caught up with the basketball at a swift pace, the Chinese team was defenseless at halftime, and the United States team tied the score again in the final four minutes of the game.
Yao Min, who had made a mistake, looked very annoyed, and his face was enough to form ice.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's come again, we still have a chance."
Liu Han took the initiative to walk to Yao Min's side to comfort him, at this time, everyone could not be in a state of excitement, and only with a calm mind could they persist in playing this difficult game.
"Come on, brethren, come on, we can definitely win, believe in yourself."
Liu Han uncharacteristically cheered up his teammates, and everyone must gather a belief at this time.
Li Rui on the sidelines bit his nails and remained silent, which was his habitual action after entering a tense state, at which time he could only trust the players on the field.
After the baseline re-serves, Liu Han advanced to the front court again, and this time Yi Jianlian took the initiative to cover Liu Han near the middle line to prevent the American team from being caught in advance.
James found Liu Han for the first time, but Jefferson was blocked by Yi Jianlian, Liu Han took advantage of James not yet in place to accelerate and move directly, he couldn't be caught by the opponent again, otherwise the Chinese team's offense would still not be able to play.
James immediately adjusted his position and planned to continue to pursue Liu Han, but after Liu Han's two consecutive changes of direction, James was blocked by Yao Min, who was mentioned outside the three-point line.
Liu Han took the opportunity to accelerate directly into the inside, Duncan also made up for the first time, and at the same time, Anthony on the weak side also gave up the defender to try to contain Liu Han.
The U.S. team's abrupt contraction of formation put Liu Han in a heavy circle, and he lost almost all of his passing and breakthrough directions.
But at this moment, Liu Han suddenly passed the ball from the back of his head to his back, and Yao Min received the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.
"Shooting-" With Liu Han shouting, Yao Min made a decisive three-point shot.
"Brush-" basketball lived up to expectations and went straight to the net, and Yao Min completed his own redemption.
