James doesn't need to face Wang Meng and Hao Peng, but at the same time, Durant, who has stronger scoring ability, is entangled by Wang Meng, and Hao Peng will be pinned down by Cousins on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, Cousins was completely blown up by Hao Peng.

Although Cousins has soared in the Kings and Harden, his real strength is still a lot worse than Hao Peng.

As for the duel between Durant and Wang Meng, there should be no suspense, although Wang Meng inherited Artest's growth template card, even the peak Artest cannot completely limit Durant to death, at most it will affect his scoring efficiency.

But that was a normal duel between the two.

In the current arena, things are a little different.

The ball is now heavily concentrated in the hands of James, and the difference between Durant and Thompson and George is not very big, they are all just shooters who catch the ball and shoot at fixed points.

Naturally, Durant can't play much of his own strength, and Wang Meng only needs to interfere as much as possible with Durant not receiving the ball.

Lao K's arrangement, in fact, cannot be said to be wrong.

Wang Meng is the player who has been selected for the best defensive team this season, and he is also known as the strongest defensive player on the front line, and his single defense ability even surpasses Leonard.

Even if it is a top superstar at the historical level like James Durant, the efficiency of fighting against it will be greatly reduced, and using the strongest spear and the strongest shield against it is absolutely a very stupid thing for a head coach.

It's a pity that Jeremy Lin is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated at will, or the only defensive shortcoming in the starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is Yi Jianlian, and his shortcomings are only compared with Wang Meng, Hao Peng, and Jeremy Lin.

After playing under Wang Xiao for two years, Wang Xiao also provided him with the bonus of training modules, and now Yi Jianlian's various statistics are already at the NBA standard level, which is why he can still play in the NBA instead of returning to the CBA.

At present, on the field, Yi Jianlian is targeting Cameron most of the time. Anthony or Drummond. Green.

Compared to the other players, these two are not so difficult to defend.

Needless to say, Green's outside projection is extremely unstable, his interior height and weight are not advantageous, and as a functional forward, Green's offensive ability is average.

And if Anthony is a few years younger, he can easily beat Yi Jianlian, but now Anthony has experienced several injuries, and his explosiveness is far less than before, and the once offensive kaleidoscope is now only left with a long-distance shot, Yi Jianlian only needs to prevent his projection, if Anthony breaks through to the basket, there will naturally be Hao Peng to clean him up.

……

The enemy's clear and dark situation, tactical suppression, coupled with Cheng Jie's unexpected outburst, allowed the Chinese men's basketball team to firmly grasp the lead at halftime.

In the third quarter of the game, when the substitute players of the two teams began to appear one after another, the Chinese men's basketball team was still inevitably in a passive situation.

No way, although the starting lineup can compete with the American team, the substitute lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is still the CBA team, even if Wang Xiao has made a lot of targeted training and tactical arrangements, it still can't make up for the gap in hard power, even if Jeremy Lin didn't end the whole process and has been controlling the rhythm, but the score difference is still inevitably chased back.

Wang Xiao had also thought about letting the players work in pairs and take turns to rest, but after careful consideration, he vetoed it.

Now the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team can take the initiative in the head-to-head duel is that it relies on the excellent individual ability of the five NBA players.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and a few minutes later, Hao Peng, Cheng Jie, Wang Meng and others returned, and the situation immediately stabilized.

In the entire third quarter of the game, Hao Peng and others rested for nearly 4 minutes off the court, Jeremy Lin did not play for 1 minute, in this quarter of the game, the two teams played 31:24, and the United States team relied on the depth of the bench lineup to successfully recover 7 points, and the difference was only 1 point.

During the break after the end of the third quarter, Wang Xiao gathered Jeremy Lin and others together.

"Good job, guys, thanks to your efforts, we're still in the lead, even if it's only one point, but a lead is a lead." Wang Xiao said this, and looked at Jeremy Lin, Hao Peng and others at the same time.

"In the next fourth quarter of the game, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to rest, and you can only work hard for the sake of victory."

Wang Xiao's side has been playing for a long time, especially Jeremy Lin, who was on the court all the time, and if he continued to be on the court in the fourth quarter, he would have played the whole game.

Fortunately, the Olympic Games have a single quarter of 10 minutes, and the four quarters add up to only 40 minutes, which is much easier than the NBA's 12 minutes in a single quarter and 48 minutes.

When Jeremy Lin played in the playoffs in the NBA, he often played more than 45 minutes in a single game, and the Nets relied on him even more than the Chinese men's basketball team, because the Nets did not have a super center like Hao Peng, nor did they have an outside sharpshooter like Cheng Jie, and the offense relied on Jeremy Lin to connect the whole team.

"Whether you can win the game or not depends on the next quarter!"

……

The fourth quarter of the game, the moment of the real fight for the bayonet.

As soon as the game restarted, Jeremy Lin hoisted the ball to Hao Peng on the inside.

After Hao Peng received the ball, he turned his back to Dunn.

Lao K also knows that at the critical moment, the offense on the inside is more stable, and the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely let Hao Peng attack the inside, so at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Dunn was replaced to defend Hao Peng.

With his back dribbling and squeezing two steps under the basket, Hao Peng turned around and shook a shot, and then hooked his hand to shoot.

Dunn was shaken, and his movements were half a beat slower, but he still reacted in time and reached out to hit Hao Peng's arm.

"Squeak Squeak——!" When the whistle blew, Dunn fouled the defense, and Hao Peng hit both free throws.

At 8:85, the difference became 3 points.

On the U.S. side, James faced Jeremy Lin at the top arc, and suddenly made a three-point shot without warning.

88:88 drawn.

Hao Peng came again, with his back to Dunn and forced into the basket, he stepped to the basket and jumped directly to the basket with both hands to dunk the basket.

90:88！

In the next few minutes, both teams seemed to suddenly fall into a scoring drought, and the offense on the American side was either directly defused on the outside, or it was interfered with by Hao Peng on the inside.

And the Chinese men's basketball team also lost its crosshairs under the sudden increase in the defensive intensity of the American team, especially Hao Peng, Dunn's desperate defense, coupled with the assistance of other players, made it difficult for Hao Peng to receive the ball for a while.

Not to mention the players on the field, even the two head coaches on the sidelines, Wang Xiao and Lao K, were sweating on their foreheads.

The game has evolved into a battle of willpower, and under the almost suffocating defensive pressure, the side that can't hold on first will be the first to collapse.
