Chapter 175: The Great War between China and the United States (12)
Nine points, one says more than much, says a lot less points difference. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nine points are almost negligible for the Mavericks in the just-concluded NBA season, and three shots outside the three-point line may be able to tie or even overtake the score, and similarly, nine points is also a huge point difference for a team that does not feel good and does not fit within the team.
At the end of the third quarter, the recognized strongest team in world basketball was led by nine points by the seemingly weak Chinese team, which is bound to be a surprising statistic.
Everyone on the U.S. bench had a gloomy face, Larry? Brown has long lost the calmness and elegance of the beginning of the game, he banged on the tactical board, and kept telling the players of the American team about his tactical arrangements, but the profanity that came out of his words from time to time made everyone feel the panic of the famous coach.
On the bench of the Chinese team on the other side, Li Rui calmed down at this time, what he is most concerned about at the moment is whether Liu Han's physical strength can hold up, and whether he can win this game The most important thing is to look at the fourth quarter, nine points is not a particularly safe score, if the United States team plays with momentum, the gap of nine points may disappear in just three or four minutes.
"Da Liu, do you want to rest for a few minutes before playing?"
"It's okay, I can withstand it, coach, a few minutes of intermission is enough."
In fact, not only Li Rui is worried about Liu Han's physical strength, but even everyone in the Chinese team is a little worried about Liu Han's physical strength, you must know that Liu Han is not only participating in basketball games, since August 25, Liu Han has to participate in a hard basketball or football game every day, which is almost challenging the physiological limits of human beings, and ordinary people can't support such a game intensity.
"Brothers, hold on, let's not think about anything else, even if we don't win this game, we can blow for a lifetime."
Although the veteran Li Nan is not the oldest in the team, he is the oldest, he has always been very prestigious in the team, and the game has been played so far, Li Nan as a veteran has stood up in time to cheer for the young players.
After a short intermission, the game resumed, and after the U.S. team's baseline serve, the final quarter of the game officially began.
Heading into the final quarter, Larry? Brown was replaced by Iverson again.
After a period of calmness, Iverson finally stopped stubbornly looking for Liu Han to fight alone, he advanced to the front court with the ball and did a blocking and dismantling cooperation with Duncan, and then Duncan went down to catch the ball and met the bag of Yao Min and Wang Zhizhi of the Chinese team, and then suddenly passed the ball to Anthony in the vacant position on the outside.
After receiving the ball, Anthony did not hesitate to pull up and shoot a three-pointer, the ball bounced off the basket and fell into the net, and the outside line of the American team finally had a catch.
By the time the game was played, the young players in the U.S. team had finally put away their pride and they were starting to get to know their opponents anew.
Next, the most worrying thing for Li Rui and Liu Han in the Chinese team's offense happened, the United States team still wrapped Liu Han, and the Chinese team got an empty opportunity to shoot, but I don't know if it was because of nervousness, the veteran Li Nan, who re-appeared on the court in the fourth quarter, actually missed the basket.
There are only nine minutes left before the end of the game, but the Chinese players at this time suddenly became nervous, after all, the hope of beating the United States team is in front of them, and even the most experienced veterans will be worried about it.
The next attack of the American team was very calm, and they no longer pursued speed and impact as in previous games, but began to use team cooperation to play tactics.
Duncan can provide good cover for his teammates in the high post, and his mid-range shooting is quite consistent, while the low post Stoudemire has the advantage of impact and explosiveness, and the U.S. team is finally on its feet inside.
The U.S. team played a wonderful team match again in the second offense of the fourth quarter, and after continuous passes and patient reversing, the Chinese team's defense finally couldn't keep up, and Stoudemire under the basket received a pass from Iverson to complete the empty dunk.
After just two attacks, the U.S. team narrowed the gap to four points.
Li Rui called a timeout without hesitation at this time, and now the Chinese team has encountered a lot of problems, and the situation cannot be allowed to develop like this.
"Normally, I want to see you take this game as normal, we have to play according to the previous arrangement, but don't think about the outcome of the game now, there are still nine minutes to go, we are still in the lead, this is our advantage, don't be dragged down by our advantage. Da Liu, you have to play without the ball next, if you hold the ball, the opponent will take the initiative to wrap you. ”
Li Rui tried his best to make his words seem ordinary, he didn't want to put pressure on the players at this time, he had been an assistant coach for this team for four years, he was very aware of the disadvantages of the Chinese team players, and after the huge psychological pressure, many of the Chinese team players could not even play at 60% of the level.
After a short timeout, the game resumed.
The U.S. team seemed to anticipate the Chinese team's arrangement in the timeout and began to press all over the court, which put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team, and Liu Wei, who had just come on the field, almost made a mistake under Iverson's oppressive defense and narrowly passed the ball to Liu Han.
Liu Han, who received the ball near the halfway line, was immediately caught by Anthony and James, and the U.S. team was desperately defending Liu Han at this time.
Liu Han, who was tightly surrounded by the opponent, did not stick to the ball, he passed the ball to Yao Min outside the three-point line for the first time, and then moved towards the baseline himself, and the American team began to rearrange the defense, at which time nearly eight seconds had passed.
After Yao Min got the ball, Duncan forced it as soon as possible.
Yao Min took the ball with his back and passed the ball to Liu Wei, who came up to answer, and at the same time pulled away from the defender himself.
After Yao Min was in place, Liu Wei did not hesitate to hoist the ball into the inside, but the American team immediately wrapped Yao Min, and the defensive rotation of the American team became more and more active in the fourth quarter.
Yao Min didn't force the ball in the face of Stoudemire and Duncan's bag, and he passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi on the outside.
As soon as Wang Zhizhi received the ball, Stoudemire had already re-defended.
However, Wang Zhizhi showed his strength at this time, he was about to throw, and then suddenly there was a dribble to the left side of the body to break through, just when Stoudemire just adjusted his center of gravity and was ready to continue to chase Wang Zhizhi, the old Wang Zhizhi suddenly stepped back and jumped and shot, a large two-point hit.
At critical moments, Wang Zhizhi showed his stability and dexterity as a veteran.
Liu Han, who was still entangled with James on the bottom line, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally felt that he was not fighting alone.
