Liu Han holds the ball, and Yao Min mentions a high cover. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Han stuck to Yao Min's body to bypass James's defense, but Duncan made up for it as soon as possible, delaying Liu Han's breakthrough, and James also bypassed Yao Min at the first time to try to pinch Liu Han.
However, Liu Han sent a wonderful ground-hitting pass almost in the blink of an eye, his right wrist shook slightly in the dribble, and the ball grazed the legs of James and Duncan and passed between the two, while Liu Han's own body still maintained a breakthrough posture, and his perfect acting skills played all the NBA rookie James and veteran Duncan.
Liu Han's wrist shaking action is really too hidden, if it weren't for staring at it, many people couldn't find the shaking of his wrist, most people were deceived by Liu Han's wonderful feints, and even the cameraman on the sidelines was deceived by Liu Han, his close-up shot completely followed Liu Han's movement, if it wasn't for the bottom line cameraman, maybe many people couldn't figure out how the ball was passed.
After Yao Min received the pass easily, he sent the ball into the basket with almost a light step.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Chinese team took the lead again.
This U.S. team is indeed congenitally flawed when it is formed, there is no big name in their team who can settle the scene, Duncan is too low-key, he has always been on the Spurs team, let alone in the U.S. national team.
Iverson is famous enough, but really speaking, he can't lead the overall offense of the American team, and almost all the players from the 96th draft have been suppressed by Liu Han's brilliance, although Iverson won the scoring title after Liu Han left, but when it comes to leading the team, he really can't take it, Larry? Brown didn't actually plan to have Iverson join the U.S. national team, and he would rather use Billups than Iverson, but the arrogant U.S. Basketball Association hopes that Iverson will be more famous and more fans will bring more attention to the U.S. team.
Marbury had been mired in New York the previous season, and combined with his poor character, he had almost the lowest prestige on the U.S. team.
In addition to these three older players, most of the U.S. team is made up of rookies and second- and third-year players, and they are even less qualified to be bosses.
So such a team always seems a little inattentive in the game, even after being suppressed by the Chinese team for half a full game.
In the previous group stage, the U.S. team actually exposed a lot of its own flaws.
The Chinese team played a wonderful match at the beginning of the third quarter, while the American team played disorganized in the following offense, Duncan ran out of a good position and had an open space near the free throw line, but Iverson forced a shot against Liu Han's defense.
Iverson, who was suppressed by Liu Han for half the game, finally decided to do what he liked.
Iverson's basketball bounced out of the basket, Yao Min stuck Stoudemire under the basket, and Xue Yuyang easily won the rebound.
The Chinese team did not rush to attack, and the Chinese team began to advance after Liu Han received the ball steadily.
Now the leading is the Chinese team, they don't need to pursue counterattacks and speed, at this time the stability is everything, only the attack that guarantees the success rate is what the Chinese team needs, and now the most guaranteed is Liu Han and Yao Min.
After advancing to the frontcourt, the Chinese team still launched an attack as in the last cooperation, Liu Han held the ball, Yao Min covered, and the others completely opened up the space.
This time, James and Duncan consciously paid attention to Liu Han's pass, but Liu Han directly pulled out a three-point shot after going around behind Yao Min.
James was blocked by Yao Min at this time, and Duncan didn't have time to save, Liu Han's three-point shot hit steadily, and the Chinese team further expanded the score.
Next, the U.S. team's offense finally came to fruition, and Iverson relied on Stoudemire's cover to dodge Liu Han's defense and hit a pull-up jumper.
The game began to enter a stalemate, the Chinese team almost relied on Yao Min and Liu Han to attack, focusing on the defense of the American team, except for Liu Han and Yao Min, others were particularly ruthless when defending, not caring about anything at all, and Li Rui also consciously rotated personnel in time, which can not only ensure the physical strength of the players on the field, but also protect the players who have committed too many fouls.
After Iverson went into singles mode, Larry? Brown realized that something was wrong, and he also began to rotate, replacing Iverson and Stoudemire, who were not so calm, and the latter began to get a little irritated by the wanton fouls of the Chinese players, and the action became louder and louder, and Larry Brown did not want his players to fall into chaos in the chase for points.
After Iverson went off, it was the newcomer Wade who came on, and Anthony also replaced Stoudemire, and the U.S. team became a big group of four small, and Larry Brown expected the team to play with speed and counterattack.
However, today's Liu Han and Yao Min are almost completely desperate, and their spirit is extremely focused on the game, which makes both of them maintain a super high hitting rate.
Although the U.S. team's offense has improved to a certain extent after Wade came on the court to control the ball, after all, he is not a pure point guard, and his speed advantage has not been fully exerted, and the U.S. team is not very efficient except for Duncan, and the Chinese team's foul strategy has made the U.S. team's offense scattered, and James and Anthony have also missed free throws.
Halfway through the third quarter of the game, the Chinese team expanded the difference to seven points, which was the largest difference between the two teams since the start of the game.
At this time, in the United States, many people have begun to scold Larry? Brown's employment and the performance of the American team, since the dream team, the American team has set a new benchmark for basketball, which makes American fans more and more critical, they not only want to see the American team win the championship, but also want to see the American team sweep the world, but the reality is that they are now suppressed by the Chinese team.
Liu Han continued his efficient performance on both offensive and defensive ends, on the offensive end, he is not only the brains of the team, but also the team's main firepower on the outside, and on the defensive end, he also has to take full "care" of Wade.
The Chinese team has played its own momentum so far, in addition to Yao Min and Liu Han, Wang Zhizhi also played a highlight performance, he not only gave Duncan a big risk in defense, but also showed his gorgeous footsteps on the offensive end, and his current three-point shot is also quite skilled, with such a big man who can shoot three-point shots, the defense of the American team is even more chaotic.
Larry Brown had to call another timeout, and the U.S. team now needs to make a big change.
