Chapter 444
Cheng Jie catches the ball and faces Clay on the outside. Thompson! Shake it off! Step back and shoot three-pointers! Pregnant! ”
When the Chinese men's basketball team needed someone to score, Cheng Jie stood up!
He first stepped back to hit a three-pointer in the process of single-handing Thompson from the outside, and then ran out of the open space through running without the ball, and received a pass from Jeremy Lin to shoot a three-point shot from the open position!
With Jeremy Lin hitting the basket and making 2 fouls and 2 free throws, the two scored 8 points in a very short period of time, not only stabilizing the situation, but even chasing the difference back to a near-flat stage!
Cheng Jie inherited Reggie perfectly. Miller's big heart, the more critical the moment, the more stable the shot!
This is the same as his opponent at this time, Clay. Thompson is very similar.
But Thompson got much less ball and opportunities than Cheng Jie in the American men's basketball team, after all, the American Dream Team is full of big names, and all the players who can play are a group of players who are not inferior to Thompson or stronger than Thompson, and it is difficult for Thompson to get a chance in this situation.
And Cheng Jie is different, Jeremy Lin is better at passing and defending, when Hao Peng is off the court, Cheng Jie is the strongest offensive on the Chinese men's basketball court, who will not give him basketball?
Relying on Cheng Jie's two three-pointers at critical moments, the Chinese men's basketball team successfully passed the most difficult period.
At 6 minutes and 21 seconds in the second quarter, Hao Peng, who had rested for nearly five minutes, returned to the court.
With Hao Peng's return to the court, the defensive intensity of the Chinese men's basketball team was instantly improved, and the situation began to stabilize again.
Wang Xiao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, no matter what, this first wave was carried over.
As long as the score difference on the field is not widened, there is a chance to win!
Because the Chinese men's basketball team has been following the strategy of slowing down and playing positional battles, the pace of this game is very slow, and when the half game is over, the scores of the two teams are 42 points for the United States men's basketball team and 40 points for the Chinese men's basketball team.
Although the Chinese men's basketball team is behind, it is only 2 points behind.
At halftime, Lao K frowned and emphasized the problem of speed, he had already found that the rhythm of the American men's basketball team was completely slowed down by the Chinese men's basketball team, which was a very serious impact on the American team that is good at using speed to win or lose.
The reason why the Chinese men's basketball team, which has a slightly inferior overall strength, can bite the score depends on this.
However, the point guards of the U.S. men's basketball team participating in the Olympics this time are all two-way guards who are good at offense, whether it is Irving, Lillard or Lowry, they are not good at controlling the court.
The Chinese men's basketball team has a master of control in the NBA, Jeremy Lin.
Want to follow the use of Jason. Jeremy Lin, who has grown into a template card, has a better ability to control the pace of the game, and Paul is the only one in the NBA who can compete with him.
With the start of the third quarter, the confrontation between the two teams also entered the white-hot stage.
Dunn's expression became more and more solemn, and the sweat on his forehead grew.
Because he discovered a somewhat terrifying truth.
When he first appeared against Hao Peng, he felt that Hao Peng was indeed worthy of being a well-known genius in the league, and he was really strong, and he could almost be regarded as the strongest and most difficult opponent he had encountered in his career over the years.
However, as the number of matches and matchups increased, Dunn was stunned to find that he was becoming more and more difficult to defend Hao Peng, at first he didn't understand what was going on, but now he figured it out!
No matter how strong Hao Peng is, he has not logged into the NBA after all, has not received professional training in the NBA, and has not played against strong opponents in the NBA, which makes his skills have many flaws, and Dunn successfully defended Hao Peng through these flaws.
But in this short ten minutes of fighting, Hao Peng's flaws and flaws became fewer and fewer, and even in the eyes of a defensive master like Dunn, he was invulnerable!
"This guy! I actually got stronger in the course of the competition! ”
In the history of the NBA, there are countless powerful centers, such as the ancient beast Chamberlain, the perennial No. 1 scoring chart, and O'Neal, known as the most dominant center.
Even in the midst of this group, David. Robinson was also able to have a place.
Among other things, the 71 points in a single game, which is ranked fourth on the scoring list, is something that only five people in the entire history of the NBA have been able to do. (Elgin. Baylor 71 points with David. Robinson tied for fourth. )
Even legendary centers such as O'Neal, Abdul-Jabbar, and Olajuwon have not been able to score 70+ points in a single game.
And David. Robinson has played Mutombo 39 times in his career, winning 29 games, averaging 20.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game while shooting 49.8 percent from the field.
In comparison, Mutombo averaged just 9.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, and even his best blocks were inferior to David Robinson, averaging just 2.6 attempts per game.
Of course, Mutombo is good at defending, attacking is not what he is good at, and limiting the opponent's play is his job.
But under his defense, David. Robinson's scoring average has dropped from a career average of 21.1 points per game to 20.6, with little to no impact.
The reason why Dunn was able to slightly suppress Hao Peng's play was mainly because Dunn had used the Mutombo Growth Template Card for many years and had already reached the peak of growth. Robinson's template cards, however, are not yet at their peak.
But with the increase of games and trials experienced, Hao Peng's progress will be faster and faster, when he fully inherits David. After Robinson's growth template, Dunn will not be his opponent!
In fact, now that Dunn is winning, it's a little overwhelming!
"Boom!"
Roughly squeezed Dunn away, Hao Peng jumped on the spot, and dunked the basketball into the basket with both hands, although Dunn jumped with all his strength, and even his hand was already on the basketball, but he was still squeezed away by Hao Peng with his strength!
Old K suddenly regretted it, he felt that he was a little too confident, and actually chose Dunn as a blue-collar center.
originally thought that when the World Championship was played, Dunn alone could deal with all the team's interior players, but he never expected that Hao Peng, a rookie who has not yet officially landed in the NBA, would make Dunn, who has been in the NBA for many years and has won the best defensive player and block king, difficult to fight against.
Knowing this, it is better to select Jordan Jr., Howard and others to directly set up an iron bucket formation on the inside, no matter how strong Ren Hao Peng is, he can't fight against the two at the same time.
It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now.
The third quarter of the game became Hao Peng's individual show, on the offensive end, he continued to force points under Dunn's strict defense, and on the defensive end, whether it was James, Durant or George Anthony, they all tried his signature hot pot.
In the entire third quarter of the game, Hao Peng scored 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, dominating both offensive and defensive ends!
It was also relying on Hao Peng's play that the Chinese men's basketball team completed the overtake in the third quarter and regained the lead, 68:65, leading by 3 points into the fourth quarter of the game.
