Chapter 311: What is a unique skill! (Grand Chapter)
After the U.S. team came out, they saw the mountain-like center, and the little who was not like an athlete and more like a star, and the self-confidence in their hearts was not very strong, which can be seen from their demeanor!
In the last game against the South Baseball women's basketball team, the black girls in the United States were still talking and laughing during the pre-game warm-up, and that kind of relaxation and confidence do not need to be discovered through their demeanor, and their gestures are reflected.
But facing the Chinese women's basketball team today, the American girls were obviously a little nervous during the warm-up, and they didn't have the usual giggling, and their demeanor was serious and serious.
On the other hand, the Chinese girls are talking and laughing, and their bodies are very relaxed during the warm-up, and Wang Xiaoqian even came to a two-handed dunk during the warm-up.
This time, the dunk was OK in terms of completion, because holding the ball in both hands was more conducive to bouncing after the run, and it didn't look like the last time.
Of course, this is just an ordinary two-handed dunk, and when Wang Xiaoqian jumped to the highest point, she barely exceeded the height of the basket with half of her hand, but it still ushered in the applause and cheers of the audience!
The American players naturally became more serious, and the eyes of the audience, as well as the live broadcast camera, were immediately given to Sheryl Miller.
The core of the American women's basketball team, who is said to have performed a dunk in high school, was launched by various American media before the game to compare with Wang Xiaoqian.
Now that the two have really met on the court, Wang Xiaoqian's dunk is a bit provocative, how will Sheryl Miller take it?
Sheryl Miller's face is not very good-looking, she is not unable to dunk, after all, she is 10 cm taller than Wang Xiaoqian.
But she is a little worse than Wang Xiaoqian in terms of bounce speed and bounce height, and the most important thing is her balance ability, and her core strength is not enough.
This makes her much better than Wang Xiaoqian in terms of touching height, but it is difficult to have enough ability to stay in the air when it comes to dunking, and it is even more difficult to make smooth movements when jumping to the highest point, and it often takes many attempts to find the right position for the jump, as well as the rhythm and angle of the dunk.
But this kind of reluctance is not only easy to hurt, but also inevitably inferior in ornamentality.
This is also the reason why almost no one dunks in the official game of the women's basketball team, and Sheryl Miller's physical fitness is easy to dunk in the warm-up, so in the case of confrontation in the game, isn't it a pounce?
Sheryl Miller hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't dare to try to dunk and color, because she felt that it would be embarrassing to make a few attempts in a row to complete a dunk.
If you accidentally get hurt, it's a real shame!
But what damaged in this way was the momentum, and the morale of the American team inevitably lowered before the game began.
In today's competition, in the eyes of the outside world, the overall strength of the Chinese team is obviously higher than that of the American team.
Although the two cores of the Chinese team are not very old, the intensity of the confrontation of the women's basketball team is not high, so the impact of being younger is not very great.
The age of the U.S. women's basketball team is also not very old, this team is basically college athletes, and like the U.S. men's basketball team, they only started training in March, and they have been running in for three or four months.
If you really talk about confrontation ability, the Chinese team has an advantage overall.
The Chinese women's basketball team has been established for four years, except for Zheng Haixia and Wang Xiaoqian, most of whom are 20-25 years old.
This is also the reason why the Chinese women's basketball team is very strong in the original plane, and European and American countries in this era basically do not have a fixed national team in basketball, and they are often selected only a few months before the competition.
However, after China established a national team, it had to conduct a training camp every few months, and then before each competition, a few new seedlings would be selected through the performance of the training camp, and then a few old players who had fallen in level or were injured were sent away.
However, it will not carry out a large-scale exchange of blood every session like the United States, which has the advantage of ensuring that there is not only fresh blood supplementation, but also makes the team's old, middle and young matches more reasonable, tacit cooperation with each other, and rich experience.
After today's game began, the Americans were surprised to find that their two most feared Chinese cores did not seem to be very active, but the role players who did not care about before the game played very actively.
Of the first 20 points scored by the Chinese team, Zheng Haixia and Wang Xiaoqian only scored 6 points combined, and the rest were contributed by these unpaid Chinese players.
This has kept the U.S. defence passive, with their defensive focus entirely on Zheng Haixia and Wang Xiaoqian, but China's two forwards, Xiu Lijuan and Li Xiaoqin, played very well, constantly using mid-range shots and off-ball cuts to score points.
Wu Jie felt that this scene was very familiar, during the two peaks of the Lakers in the new century, there would be occasional situations where the gods of the role players returned, and once there was such a full-fledged situation, it would be a disaster for the other side!
In the end, the U.S. team could only call a timeout, forced to flatten the defensive focus, and did not dare to let people go easily, let alone despise the role players of the Chinese team.
At this time, it was naturally Zheng Haixia's turn to perform, which was also the main attack order under the guidance of Ruda.
Wang Xiaoqian's physical fitness is very good in the women's basketball team, not only can she play a full 40 minutes, even if she has another overtime, she can't be tired, this kind of combat power is similar in another battlefield.
But Zheng Haixia's physical fitness is much worse, if she keeps going all out on both offensive and defensive ends, then she will have no strength to play half at this stage.
Zheng Haixia's physical fitness can improve to the point where she can maintain 25 minutes at full power after two years of training, which is basically similar to Yao Ming in the men's basketball team.
So naturally, when Zheng Haixia can play her best in the first half, she will try to give her as much the ball as possible to ravage the opponent, and then hand over the ball to Wang Xiaoqian in the second half.
Wang Xiaoqian mainly put more effort into the outside defense in the first half, and at the same time used the breakthrough to help Zheng Haixia and her teammates get better offensive space.
The second half was when she took over the game, and that's when her physical strengths were put to good use.
Zheng Haixia didn't know her situation in the team, which was much better than Yao Ming after twenty years in the original plane.
That time, Da Yao really had to work hard to get the ball, and his teammates were in a targeted defense, and it was difficult to pass the ball to Yao Ming in time every time, even if he finally got the ball, it was probably because of a bad position, or not much time to attack, and then he was in the middle of the bag.
Yao Ming can play an efficient offensive performance in this environment, it is really difficult not to be tired to death, and the devil knows how much pressure he is under.
But at this moment, it is much easier for Zheng Haixia to get the ball, Cong Xuedi is an excellent point guard with solid passing and control in the world women's basketball team, and Wang Xiaoqian's breakthrough score can make Zheng Haixia impossible for any team.
The U.S. women's basketball team couldn't find a way to limit Zheng Haixia in this situation, after all, the front defense had not yet been developed under the FIBA rules of the eighties.
It's not like there's no way around the front defense, but no team has taken this defensive tactic seriously, and no one has improved it enough to deal with a super interior line.
So Zheng Haixia can easily get the basketball near the penalty area, and there are not many ways for the U.S. team to stop her.
This also led to the end of the first half, Zheng Haixia once again staged a 15-point half-time show under the active feeding of the whole team, and single-handedly ruined the American girl's penalty area.
The Chinese team relied on Zheng Haixia's unattainable basket offense and also managed to create a double-digit lead in the first half.
After watching the first half of the game, Wu Jie was already seven or eight points sure of the victory of the Chinese women's basketball team.
The U.S. women's basketball team is indeed excellent in athleticism, but it is not so dominant for the Chinese women's basketball team.
If you count the two strong points of Zheng Haixia and Wang Xiaoqian, the Chinese and American teams can only be said to be half a pound or eight taels in terms of physical fitness.
But if they can't take advantage of their physical strength, it will be difficult for the American women's basketball team to win, because the Chinese girls are in the lead in terms of basic skills and the number of skills they have mastered, including physical fitness.
That's right, this Chinese women's basketball team is better than the American team in terms of technology and physical fitness.
In terms of tactics, the Chinese women's basketball team is also much ahead of the American women's basketball team thanks to the training time and the help of Ruda, a consultant.
The first half was only 10 points ahead, or the United States team had a home advantage, and without the help of the referee's home whistle, the Chinese team would not have led by more than 10 points.
If anything, it is to be careful that the referee is going to be more aggressive in the second half.
If Zheng Haixia falls into a foul crisis, then the Chinese team's advantage on the inside line will be self-defeating.
This is not poisoned milk, and Wu Jie and Rueda believe that the Americans will definitely activate more home whistles against them, because this is the only way to win.
Sure enough, only two minutes into the second half, Zheng Haixia received her third foul in a defense.
This is also where FIBA basketball has mixed reviews, with players being sent off after five fouls.
If the referee is impartial, there is no big problem with 5 fouls in 40 minutes of play.
But if the referee starts to double the standard in the decision, then the blow to the victim's side is very big, especially for those teams that rely on the inside line to win, after all, the inside line is the most prone to foul play.
Zheng Haixia's defense this time belongs to the category of whether it can be judged or not, and under normal circumstances, it is not blown, otherwise I don't know how many times a game will be interrupted.
But if the referee blows, you can't find too much fault.
The Chinese team did not notice the problem and did not replace Zheng Haixia in time after the foul.
A minute later, Zheng Haixia was whistled for a foul again.
This time it was not a question of whether to blow or not, Zheng Haixia used a very clean block to knock out Sheryl Miller's layup.
But the Brazilian female referee obviously didn't think it was a good hat, and decisively blew Zheng Haixia for a foul, which was already her fourth foul.
The Chinese girls naturally stopped doing it, but Wang Xiaoqian showed the calmest performance, and hurriedly pulled away teammates who wanted to use Chinese to theorize with the referee.
This is certainly the right choice, basketball referees and football referees have always been so hated.
Many times, you know that the referee is doing things, but as long as you are not too blatant, you can only endure it, because not being calm will only give the other party an excuse to legally engage you.
This is also part of football and basketball, including the Americans themselves have suffered losses on referees, Chinese just suffer losses more often, almost every time it is the Chinese team that suffers.
If you can't bear it, then go to athletics and swimming, or play tennis, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, billiards...... These are all sports that can basically guarantee fairness at this stage.
But if you choose big ball games, you should never think about absolute fairness.
"I think you have to be careful, this is a game in the United States, as long as the opponent is the American team, then it is inevitable to suffer on the whistle."
Wu Jie had long expected that the Americans would make a fuss at the whistle, and even today this degree is a little lighter than he expected.
"How can I just have a whistle, I can still make them ten."
Luda knew that Qin Jian was crazier than him now, but if this was heard by the Americans, it would definitely be him a little crazier!
But his madness, as well as Wang Xiaoqian's calmness on the field, are all out of confidence in himself in the final analysis.
The Americans will only then begin to blatantly say in his eyes: It's late.
If Zheng Haixia falls into a foul crisis as soon as it comes up, it will indeed take a lot of effort for the Chinese team to win.
But now that it's the second half, the focus of their attack was supposed to shift to Wang Xiaoqian.
At this moment, Zheng Haixia is not on the field, and her influence is already limited.
After Zheng Haixia got off the court, Wang Xiaoqian officially entered the unlimited ball holding mode.
At this time, Wang Xiaoqian already had 9 points, and if it was rested on ordinary players, this would already be regarded as full firepower.
But for her, there's more to the real fiery power than just a little bit of sound.
In the next attack of the Chinese team, Wang Xiaoqian didn't even want to cover, and directly completed the breakthrough with a cross-step change of direction, even if the opponent was a black player with excellent athleticism, she still passed it in one step.
At this time, Sheryl Miller, who is 192cm tall, hurriedly made up for the basket from the wing, and Janis Lawrence, a black center with a height of 198cm, guarded the basket, Wang Xiaoqian was quickly sandwiched by two American players who were much taller than herself.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV all raised their hearts to their throats, only thinking that she was likely to be capped under this kind of defense.
However, Wang Xiaoqian didn't pay attention to these two people at all, not only did she not divide the ball, but also jumped high towards Janis, taking advantage of the full run-up, and directly made a fierce physical contact with the opponent in the air.
Janis didn't expect that Wang Xiaoqian, who was a head shorter than himself, would dare to face difficulties, if he knew that Wang Xiaoqian was indeed welcoming men during private training, he should know that her body couldn't scare this Sailor Moon at all.
This is a matter of experience, the impact of "vertical jump" and "run-up jump" is far from comparable, even if Janis has a certain advantage in size, this collision will suffer a big loss, unless she has the size of Zheng Haixia.
So after the two collided in the air, I saw Janis let out a very inappropriate scream, and he was directly knocked out by Wang Xiaoqian.
But at this time, Sheryl Miller also arrived from the flank and rear, will Wang Xiaoqian be attacked by her from behind?
The Chinese audience, especially the Nanba audience, had just raised their worried thoughts, and saw Wang Xiaoqian hit Janis and made an almost unique big lever in the air in the women's basketball team, which not only perfectly dodged the sneak attack of Sheryl Miller, but also shot the ball into the basket!
"Flying in our airspace!"
Although Wang Xiaoqian's lever was beautiful, although she was still a little embarrassed after landing, she didn't stand firm and fell into a big ass.
This originally made the American audience at the scene plan to make fun of it, but after she stood up, she imitated Ruda's words, which immediately made the American audience at the scene and in front of the TV unable to laugh, and their faces became very ugly!
The faces of the American players are even more ugly, not only because of Wang Xiaoqian's trash talk, but also because the score difference has been expanded to 12 points.
But the most troublesome thing was the Chinese team's next defense, Wang Xiaoqian and her teammates did not retreat immediately after the goal, but launched a pressure on the American team on the spot.
The Chinese audience can immediately shout the words "full court pressing", in fact, Americans also know the defensive skills of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Now many teams are learning this kind of full-court pressing tactics, but they are all worse than the Chinese team.
But in the past, this kind of tactic was exclusively used by the men's basketball team, and no one expected that the Chinese women's basketball team could also use this kind of defensive tactic.
Although this tactic of pressing defense no matter what position is amazing, the disadvantage is that it is extremely physically exhausting, and the requirements for athleticism and coordination are also very high, and it stands to reason that the level of the women's basketball team should not meet the requirements of using this set of tactics.
But the Chinese women's basketball team not only used this set of defensive tactics, but also successfully plunged the American women's basketball team into chaos.
Pamela McGee, the point guard of the U.S. team, couldn't adapt to this kind of high-intensity pressing, and almost missed the dribble unguarded, so she could only pass the ball in a hurry.
Sheryl Miller was also in a desperate situation as soon as he barely received the pass.
Although her physical fitness is good, it is still difficult to deal with this sudden high-intensity pressing, and the pass in panic was directly intercepted by Wang Xiaoqian.
Wang Xiaoqian launched a counterattack immediately after breaking the ball, and in the face of Pamela McGee's misplaced defense, she completed the pass with a dashing turn in the break, and then scored the ball with a low hand.
The U.S. team hurriedly called a timeout because the Chinese team was still using full-court pressing tactics after the goal.
But the effect of this timeout was not good, and the American women's basketball team never imagined that this kind of defensive tactic, which is extremely rare in the men's basketball team, would be mastered and used by the Chinese women's basketball team.
Now they are not only defenseless, but they also have no countermeasures to speak of, and it is of course impossible to expect to come up with a solution with a one-minute pause.
Wu Jie and Luda both laughed happily at this time, this is the killer feature of the Chinese women's basketball team!
In order to let the women's basketball team master this set of defensive tactics, Ruda really became a women's basketball coach for half a month for free.
The girls of the women's basketball team also paid unimaginable hardships and sweat in order to practice this set of defensive tactics.
Wu Jie naturally also contributed, although the Chinese girls practiced this set of tactics to the level that they could be used in the women's basketball game, but the consumption of physical energy was still a little unbearable.
So his cards played a key role, and today he used platinum and gold cards for the starters of the Chinese women's basketball team, as well as the main substitutes.
If Zheng Haixia hadn't been in a foul crisis, she would have been able to play at least ten minutes of high-level performance in the second half with the blessing of the card.
But the biggest effect of these cards is that the Chinese girls can use about three minutes of full-court pressing defense intermittently, and he believes that the U.S. team will crack when they encounter this tactic, because three minutes is enough to end the game.
After this timeout, the U.S. team really didn't find any way, and in the face of the Chinese team's prepared tight defense, they were once again blocked from all passing routes, and finally made mistakes due to huge defensive pressure.
After the Chinese team broke the ball, they launched a counterattack again, and it was Wang Xiaoqian who completed the finish under the basket!
The two teams switched offense and defense, and this time the U.S. team couldn't even send the ball, so they had to ask for another timeout.
FIBA in this era was a 20-minute format for each half, and the timeout rule was that two could be called in the first half and three in the second half.
The U.S. team called two timeouts in a minute, and it can be said that they were really cornered.
But this minute still had little effect, although the U.S. team relied on the stunner tactic to get the opportunity to shoot, but this tactic was obviously not used to break the press.
The U.S. team's passing and shooting were all carried out in a hurry, which did not require the Chinese team to exert pressure, and they themselves missed under great pressure.
After the Chinese team got the rebound, they immediately reacted and quickly counterattacked.
However, under the influence of a nervous psychological and physiological state, the American players failed to do even the most basic anti-fast attack, and they were once again staged by Wang Xiaoqian to clear the customs alone!
The difference came to 16 points in a blink of an eye, and all Americans smelled of a big rout!
After the Chinese team switched to defense, they naturally continued to use full-court pressing tactics.
This time, Pamela McGee rushed out of the press with a collision move, but looked around and couldn't find a point to pass the ball, only to be caught up by Cong Xuedi and stuck to close quarters.
The referee stood up at this time, and she did not award McGee for hitting and walking for violating the rules, but awarded Cong Xuedi a blocking foul.
But this still could not help the U.S. women's basketball team get out of the predicament, but made the U.S. team's throw-in almost undeliverable.
In the end, he finally handed the ball to the core Sheryl Miller, but the latter's position to receive the ball had gone to the bottom corner, and he could only shoot in a hurry before being surrounded, and the result was naturally a rage!
This time, the U.S. team retreated in time, but they faced Wang Xiaoqian, who was completely out of shape on the offensive end.
This time, Wang Xiaoqian did not attack with the ball, but used a wonderful reverse run + teammates' off-ball cover to cut into the bottom line, and after successfully receiving Cong Xuedi's pass, she once again jumped high against the opponent's 195cm tall big forward Carol Shaod.
Carol Shaod jumped up and knew she couldn't defend the ball, because she clearly saw the Chinese fold his body in the air, start a gliding motion, and then use his excellent aerial ability to cross her own defensive range.
She didn't know what happened after that, because she didn't have long eyes in the back of her head, so she couldn't see Wang Xiaoqian using the extremely exaggerated gliding distance in the air in the women's basketball team, not only passing through Carol Saud's defensive range, but also facing Sheryl Miller's supplementary defense with a pull-up rebound to score the ball.
Today, Sheryl Miller has been staring at Wang Xiaoqian, and this time she also rushed in time to make up for the defense, but the result was shown off again, how could she have thought that this opponent could use this kind of male player's means to score the ball?
"This waist and abdomen strength, as well as this body flexibility and balance......"
Wu Jie said half of his words in an envious tone, but this aerial posture really has the flavor of Kobe.
Now there are no players with this style of play in the Chinese men's basketball team, although Ruda has long achieved a combination of rigidity and softness, but his skills and elegance are mainly displayed on the ground offense, once lifted into the air more like a larger Carter, that exaggerated bounce speed and bounce height, perfect air posture, impeccable body stretch, and a sense of power to destroy everything, these are characteristics that others cannot match.
Wang Xiaoqian's style is obviously more elegant, more elegant, mainly using the inexplicable breakthrough ability in the women's basketball team, first using the speed to insert into the hinterland, and then using the same top bouncing ability in the women's basketball team, after taking off to carry out folding movements and a wide range of gliding, directly through the messy defenders to complete the offense.
If there is someone under the basket at this time, then she will rely on her outstanding waist and abdominal strength and balance ability, and then give you a lever to avoid the block to complete the layup.
Of course, this is Kobe's style, just looking at the nickname "Peter Pan" can also feel the sense of elegance, in fact, Cor's dunk has always been not a violent type, nor a power type, but an elegant, elegant type.
At this time, the "Great Western Forum Arena" resounded with applause from the Americans who were not very reluctant, but could not help but give out!
Wang Xiaoqian's folding body in the air, a wide range of gliding, and a pull-up layup are not only unique in the women's basketball team, but it is really difficult not to be fascinated by her after matching her appearance.
As for the self-confidence of the American team, it was naturally completely defeated by Wang Xiaoqian's picturesque pull-up layup!
Sheryl Miller is already the best player in the U.S. team in terms of physical fitness and personal strength, but she can't play Wang Xiaoqian's level at all, and the level shown by the two of them is not half a point.
There is no way, Wang Xiaoqian, under the tutelage of Ruda, is basically an all-star level in the WNBA forty years later.
Even if she gets the WNBA at that time, she is at least a giant.
But the current level of the world women's basketball team is still at a very low position, and the American women's basketball team is not much stronger.
Sheryl Miller's talent is not bad, but it is estimated that he has not even played half of his potential, so in the face of Wang Xiaoqian, who was personally trained by Ruda, he naturally has only the share of being beaten.
After Wang Xiaoqian scored the goal of Tianxiu, the Chinese team finally put away the magic power of the whole game.
However, the difference between the two teams has come to 18 points, and the Chinese team is equivalent to playing an 8:0 climax in one minute.
What makes the American team desperate the most is that through this wave of attacks, the Chinese girls have completed the suppression of morale, and their state has also been improved to the level of fire.
In this state of trade-off, the fiasco of the American women's basketball team is inevitable!
Halfway through the second half, the score of the two teams had reached 68:48.
The Chinese team replaced Zheng Haixia again, and as for Wang Xiaoqian, who did not rest in the second half, she has risen her personal score to 25 points and played an MVP-level performance again.
Wu Jie and Luda both know that the MVP of the women's basketball team in this Olympic Games must be Wang Xiaoqian.
Although Zheng Haixia's role at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is greater, including the tactical role, she is completely incomparable to Wang Xiaoqian in terms of personal data, especially in terms of ball style.
Although those judges may not be able to see this, the promotion effect brought by Wang Xiaoqian to the women's basketball team is naturally incomparable to Zheng Haixia.
So there is no need to think about the result, the first person in the international women's basketball team in the future must be Wang Xiaoqian, who will sit firmly in the first place.
The U.S. team still wants to be ***, but when Zheng Haixia returns to the court, the thickness and height of the Chinese team's interior line, as well as the pulling power of the offensive end, have been raised to a new level.
The referee saw that the Americans themselves were not angry, and of course did not really use the penalty scale of not spitting out bones.
After all, the Chinese women's basketball team has many fans all over the world, or Wang Xiaoqian is already an international sports star.
In this case, she really forcibly hacked the gold medal of the Chinese team, and the aftermath of the work could hardly be carried out.
Once the referee doesn't do anything, Zheng Haixia's role at both ends of the offense and defense is indeed too great, and Wang Xiaoqian can also break through to the inside line more freely, even if she is surrounded by three people, she can choose to pass the ball to Zheng Haixia.
After that, she broke through to the restricted area several times and encountered wonderful balls after being trapped, helping Zheng Haixia get several opportunities to hit the blue under the basket, and this kind of shooting is basically equivalent to giving points to the Chinese team.
In the last five minutes of the second half, the difference between the two teams had reached 25 points, and the suspense was completely scratched.
The Chinese team took the lead in replacing the two cores, which can be regarded as giving the Americans a face, otherwise the score difference will definitely exceed 30 points.
At this time, the camera gives the two Chinese cores sitting on the bench chattering, but soon the center of gravity of the camera is completely focused on the sweaty Sailor Moon wearing the No. 8 jersey.
This is actually not Wang Xiaoqian's favorite number, but the number she likes has been occupied, so Ruda suggested that she choose No. 8, of course, the real reason was not said.
At this moment, the audience in front of the TV quickly saw the data she achieved today - 32 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, and she made 24 shots and hit a total of 13 goals.
Naturally, there is nothing wrong with this kind of performance, but a question involuntarily appears in the brains of many brainless fans: what kind of nickname should their goddess have?
