Chapter 351: My Lord, Times Have Changed!

FIBA Killer, the person the word was first used to describe was Anthony.

It wasn't until Durant appeared that the title changed hands.

And the reason why Anthony was able to do this is mainly because of his inconsistent style of play.

Playing the No. 3 position, his confrontation is basically difficult for others to withstand except for James's perverted level.

Playing the No. 4 position, it is not necessarily easy to meet those fast and strong forwards in the NBA, but most of the interior in the FIBA arena is very slow, which allows him to break through or shoot as he wants.

Although Anthony is still only a first-year rookie, he hasn't even won the best rookie award.

But he played for the Pistons this year, and he also won the championship with the team, and that kind of resume is a huge improvement in personal ability.

So it's normal for Anthony to behave like this.

However, this is obviously not good news for the Chinese team.

Because Anthony played like this, the tactics of shrinking the basket in the opening game of the Chinese team would not work.

Harris was aware of this, too, and he walked to the sideline to hold his cheek and keep thinking.

Fortunately, he has plenty of time.

Because although the Chinese team did not defend against the Dream Six team, the dream team did not defend against the Chinese team either!

After Sun Hao fed another high lob ball to the inside line in the frontcourt, Yao Ming continued to play singles.

The dream team chose to pack this time, and Yao Ming gave the ball to the bottom line Yi Jianlian for the first time.

Yi Jianlian accelerates the ball, and baldness is a violent dunk!

"Bang!"

The person who is more progressive than history is not only Anthony, but also Yi Jianlian!

He was second only to Anthony in the East last season!

The ball ignited the emotions of the Greek fans at the scene once again.

Love Wu and Wu, they treat the Chinese team as the second home team!

6 to 7!

The Chinese team once again overtook the score!

The two teams alternated the leads, and this situation continued until the end of the quarter.

The Chinese team ended the first quarter with a 31-28 lead.

Although it is ahead, such a slight advantage is equal to nothing.

Because bench depth has always been the most advantageous point of the Dream Team, and the Chinese team's bench has always been a problem.

Trade-off...... Wrong!

As soon as the second quarter began, Harris directly let Yao Ming lead the team!

In history, the strength of the Chinese team during the Yao Ming period was actually not bad, and most of the national teams could fight for a quarter or even half a game.

But basically there was no rest, and after the physical decline in the second half, the Chinese team was swept away.

This was especially evident in the '08 Olympics against Spain and the United States.

However, the current Chinese team is obviously not the Chinese team in history, with Sun Hao here, Harris is also bolder in rotation.

He replaced Yao Ming to rest about 7 minutes in the first quarter, in order to let him bring the bench lineup!

And he also took a cue from Puerto Rico's previous game against the Dream Six, where he re-shrunk his defense while Iverson and Anthony were not on the court.

As a result, after this substitute transition, the Chinese team continued to widen the score and has extended its lead to double digits!

After another stalemate when the main team came back, the Chinese team ended the half with an 11-point lead over the Dream Six team 58-47!

Anthony scored 14 points in the first half, but he couldn't change the Dream Six's trail.

Because of the Chinese team, Yao Ming scored 15 points in the half!

In such a situation, the mood of the players of the Dream Six team is not too good, but the fans on the scene are hi!

Just like the pre-game analysis, the current general trend of basketball is still the World Basketball Challenge Dream Team.

Puerto Rico had a chance in the quarterfinals before, but unfortunately it was a little bit worse, but if the Chinese team can do it, they are also happy!

Coming back in the second half, neither side made any changes to the starting lineup.

However, as soon as it came up, the momentum of the Dream Six team's game was very different from the first half.

Iverson didn't give the ball to Anthony to play alone, but played with Duncan and gave the ball to Anthony after the break!

Although Anthony didn't throw the ball in the first place, the signal of this move was different.

Iverson, first handed over the right to shoot, and then took the initiative to beat Anthony.

He really wants to win!

Back on the defensive end, it was Iverson again, with a trademark gambling steal that cut off Yao Ming's pass, and he ran to the front court to score quickly.

The Chinese team's wave of offense didn't score, Anthony received the ball again, retreated to the three-point line, and hit!

As soon as the Dream Six team came up in the second half, they gave the Chinese team a 5-0!

And this is not the end, after Yao Ming's strong attack on the inside line deviated, the Dream Six team played another fast attack, and it was Iverson again.

This time, after his fast attack successfully attracted Li Nan's defense, he threw the ball to assist Jefferson to score a dunk in the air!

Iverson's breakthrough to the FIBA arena is not so easy to use, but he is still a sharp weapon in the transition between offense and defense!

58 to 54!

With a difference of 11 points, there are only 4 points left in a blink of an eye!

The bench of the Dream Six team was boiling.

They have brought back the rhythm of the game that belongs to the dream team!

Harris reached out and called a timeout.

The outburst of the Dream Six team came very suddenly, and it had to be interrupted.

And during this timeout, he made big adjustments to his tactics on both offensive and defensive ends.

It may seem like he didn't do anything at halftime, but he was actually watching from the sidelines from the first quarter.

It's just that the Chinese team had so many leads in the first half, and he didn't need to take the initiative to change.

The timeout came back to the offensive round of the Chinese team.

The others spread their wings, Yao Ming also sank to the basket, and Sun Hao started one-on-one directly at the top of the arc.

The man who defended him was Jefferson.

Jefferson is a dunker and a great defender, and he is at home with Kidd.

He averaged 18.5 points per game last season and is a rising star.

However, it was really a bit difficult for him to let him defend Sun Hao one-on-one.

Sun Hao's current ability to combine sudden shots is too strong, coupled with playing a season of misplaced singles with the Mavericks, and playing one-on-one with Bell every day, his heads-up ability has been improved to the strongest level in the league.

A three-pointer pulled back after a breakaway, and Jefferson clearly didn't keep up.

"Huh!"

The basketball went through the net like an arrow.

The fans at the scene burst into flames.

A thirst-quenching three-pointer!

The members of the Dream Team all looked up at the reaction of the audience, and they still felt weird.

This second home game, it's a bit unfair!

Switching between offense and defense, Anthony's off-ball running position was obviously targeted by the Chinese team.

Seeing that Anthony couldn't get a chance, Iverson motioned for the others to pull away, and then gave the ball to Anthony.

Anthony took the ball and was about to hit Zhu Fangyu again, but at this moment, Yi Jianlian, who was on the weak side, directly put Odom in the bottom corner!

Anthony...... Chose a quick shot that turned around.

If you want to say that Anthony's biggest shortcoming now is probably this, he has a Mamba heart in his bones!

"Phew!"

Anthony's shot from the bag smashed out of the frame.

Yao Ming protects the defensive rebound.

The Chinese team's fast attack did not start, and Sun Hao once again signaled to pull away after controlling the ball in the front court.

This is how Harris adjusted on the offensive end, from positional battles to one-on-one battles.

The reason why he chose so much, in addition to Sun Hao's ability, was more because of Yao Ming's excellent state in the first half.

In this case, the Dream Six team did not dare to easily trap Sun Hao.

Sun Hao is another quick three-point pullback after shaking.

Jefferson struggled to save this time to give interference, but Sun Hao's shot was too fast.

The ball flew past his fingertips towards the basket.

"Phew!"

The ball missed.

However, what no one expected was that Sun Hao's intuition as a top shooter already felt that he would not enter after making a shot, so he ran directly.

He successfully predicted the position of the long rebound, and when he ran near the bottom corner, the ball just happened!

Odom, who swayed after getting the ball, made up for the defense, and then adjusted his three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Self-throwing, self-grabbing, three-point hit!

The fans at the scene were overwhelmed.

This can too!

Sun Hao is much stronger than the European Emperor they know!

64 to 54!

In the blink of an eye, the Chinese team once again stretched the score difference to double digits!

The Dream Six team played position, and Anthony distributed the ball to Odom in the bottom corner after the package this time.

Odom's three-point shot also hit the iron!

As shown in the previous game, this Dream Six team has really poor outside projection.

Anthony's appearance really solved the urgent need of the Dream Six team.

But some unfortunately, Anthony has only one.

When you're faced with the only one, the bag is the best choice.

In the past few rounds, the adjustment of the Chinese team's offensive and defensive ends can no longer be in place.

Harris has been coaching in the NBA for many years, and although he has not always been a head coach, he knows much more about American basketball than his predecessor, Wang Fei.

The U.S. team was really choked this time.

Brown was in a hurry.

He turned back and replaced Jefferson with Marbury.

This is in the hope that Marbury can ease the pressure on the offensive end of the team.

It's a pity that the No. 3 in New York also came up to pay tribute to the Mamba, and returned home with two outside three-point shots in a row!

The biggest gap between him and Ray Allen is really in the consistency.

Otherwise, the Suns would not have been able to make it to the playoffs with a lineup of him, Stoudemire, Joe Johnson and Marion.

Marbury didn't care, and Brown glanced back at a group of swingmen on the bench, and some of them were out of options.

Although Iverson saw that Anthony didn't work either, he began to take the initiative to attack the basket.

But he rushed twice, and after Harris switched back to a 2-3 defensive formation, he couldn't rush at all.

The FIBA arena is sometimes so cruel that you don't shoot and look like you can't play.

So in history, the 2019 World Cup Chinese team played like that, not because the athletes were stupid, but really pure, that is, well, the outside line can't be scored.

It's as strong as a dream team, and it's okay to encounter this situation.

When the game came to the second half of the fourth quarter, when the Chinese team still maintained a lead of about 15 points, the fans at the scene had all stood up.

What the Puerto Rico team failed to accomplish in the quarterfinals, the Chinese team did in the semifinals!

The dream team has not given up, Iverson is still trying to attack the basket to score, but it backfired, but the Chinese team seized the opportunity to play a defensive counterattack.

When the final whistle blew, the score was 96-77!

The Chinese team defeated the United States team by 19 points and advanced to the Olympic finals!

Maybe Sun Hao couldn't have imagined that the 19-point tragedy of the dream team that he knew did not happen to the Puerto Rico team, but to the Chinese team!

The Chinese team not only won the dream team, but also created the largest score difference in the history of the dream team in the Olympic Games!

My lord, times have changed!

When the final whistle blew, the fans who had long been unable to hold back began to cheer and applaud the Chinese team.

The Chinese team members on the field also began to celebrate wildly.

Once again, they defeated the Dream Team.

If the World Championships two years ago, the Chinese team tasted that taste for the first time.

So now, counting the group stage, they experienced a three-in, three-out!

More importantly, they made it to the finals of the Olympics!

In other words, they're already guaranteed a silver medal!

It sounds really incredible.

You must know that before this, the best result in the history of the Chinese team in the Olympic Games was only the quarterfinals in Atlanta in 1996!

In fact, when they beat Greece to reach the semi-finals, they had already set a record!

It's just that because they won the bronze medal at the World Championships two years ago, coupled with the strong group stage, everyone is not surprised.

But at the moment when the dream team entered the Olympic finals, they still couldn't stop the excitement.

Because now no one knows where the ceiling of this Chinese team is.

If they can really win the Olympic Games in the end, then the Chinese team will be tantamount to announcing that their era has come!

This is something to look forward to!

On the Dream Team's side, the players' emotions are extremely lost.

Iverson, in particular, had uncontrollable redness under his eyes.

He's probably the one the Dream Team wants to win the most tonight.

But it turns out that nine times out of ten things in this world are not going to be as good as they should be.

If you want to make what you experience become the remaining tenths of a tenth, you have to be strong enough.

"It's time!"

At the press conference after the game, Sun Hao, who has always been low-key and is also well versed in the theory of poisoned milk, gave a very positive answer when asked by reporters whether the Chinese team wanted to win the championship.

"If we can even beat the Dream Team, then for us, there is no opponent who is invincible."

Sun Hao is full of confidence.

Sun Hao's abnormal state also caused Yao Ming on the side to laugh and become embarrassed.

In addition to Nowitzki, Yao Ming was also popularized by Sun Hao about the poisoned milk theory.

And unlike Nowitzki, Yao Ming's milk has not been milked again after turning himself once.

Sun Hao: This is frantically setting up flags for the Chinese team.

But milk to milk, he thinks that what Sun Hao said is actually no problem.

At the moment of victory over the Dream Team, their self-confidence had reached a peak.

In this case, they have a psychological advantage no matter who they play in the final.
