Chapter 446
Sure enough, after moving to the point guard position, James began to try to attack on his own.
He has also played against Jeremy Lin many times in the league, and it is clear that Jeremy Lin's defense on the outside is the top, no less than Wang Meng, Leonard and others.
So James didn't choose to attack from the outside, but went inside, trying to use his height and strength advantage to attack the basket.
But when he hit the basket, Hao Peng, who appeared just in time, became an insurmountable mountain in front of him.
Even if he is as strong as James, he can't easily score against two of the league's top defenders at the same time, Jeremy Lin and Hao Peng.
And when James is caught under the basket and tries to pass the ball out, he will helplessly find that the only vacant position is that the offensive ability and defensive ability are inversely proportional, and Dunn has no scoring ability except for catching the ball and eating cakes under the basket and grabbing offensive rebounds to play a secondary offense.
In desperation, he could only attack by himself, and the result of this was that James was extremely inefficient under the basket and could not carry the offensive banner in the final quarter.
Seeing that the situation could not be opened for a long time, Lao K called out a pause to adjust the lineup one after another, but with little effect.
As the game continued, although the players of the Chinese men's basketball team were further depleted, their experience in dealing with the American team at the same time was also constantly enriched.
In particular, Jeremy Lin, Wang Meng, and Hao Peng, the three core defensive players, are all quickly adapting to the rhythm of the American team.
At this time, the disadvantages of the American team's overly luxurious lineup began to show.
The whole team is big, sometimes it's not necessarily good, and sometimes there are some things that aren't good.
The simplest thing is that when a team is full of big-name ace players, when the game is anxious or critical, everyone in the team will subconsciously feel that it is themselves who want to stand up and lead the team.
After James was deflated on the inside, Durant stepped up again and tried to help the team establish an advantage by scoring.
However, in the face of Wang Meng's brutal and rough and almost kraft candy defense, Durant's scoring efficiency was also affected, and he only hit one shot in the middle range three times, and even made a mistake under Wang Meng's pressure and was successfully counterattacked.
……
No one is willing to be a green leaf, and the players on the court often only cooperate with simple passing and blocking, and more often the offense relies on individual ability.
This is the problem of the American team, and it is also a problem that is difficult for anyone to solve, and it is not so easy to convince a group of All-Star players to be willing to work as a green leaf and a blue-collar worker for others.
"Huaxia men's basketball team!"
Lao K looked at the game that was still going on on the field, and his expression was extremely serious and dignified.
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team still surprised him again and again.
At this moment, he really realized that the Chinese men's basketball team really has the strength and ability to pull the American team off the altar! If the American Dream Team failed to win gold in this Olympic Games, then the only possibility is to be defeated by the Chinese men's basketball team!
Taking a deep breath, Lao K sincerely felt lucky.
Fortunately, the Chinese men's basketball team and the U.S. men's basketball team were divided into a group, and fortunately, the two teams met in the opening game.
……
Although the U.S. team has been in a passive stage on the court, in fact, the scores of the two teams are still extremely close, and the Chinese men's basketball team is only about 5 points ahead, and there is still some time in the fourth quarter of the game.
The U.S. team does have too many scoring points, even if the scoring efficiency is not high, it is difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to pull the score away, and when the game goes on in the last few minutes, the victory or defeat is actually linked to luck, and the side has better luck and can win the final victory.
And it turns out that this time it was Wang Xiao and the Chinese men's basketball team who had better luck.
With 2 minutes left before the end of the game, Hao Peng was caught on the inside, and there was a mistake when passing the ball to the outside, and the basketball was stopped and left the original route, and after a scramble for the ball, the basketball was picked up by Cheng Jie, and there was no defender in front of him.
Cheng Jie did not hesitate, and pulled out his hand directly outside the three-point line, and the basketball entered the net, and the difference that had been narrowed to 3 points was expanded to 6 points again.
Subsequently, still on the offensive end, Jeremy Lin used his teammates to block and dismantle into the basket and threw a miss, the basketball smashed on the basket and bounced up, and coincidentally fell into the hands of Hao Peng, who had not had time to return to the basket to grab the rebound after pulling out the outside line to help Jeremy Lin block and dismantle, Hao Peng was not polite, and jumped directly in two steps, and came with a powerful dunk, further expanding the difference to 8 points.
With 1 minute left in the game, the difference between the two teams has become 8 points, which has basically declared the defeat of the American team, although these two leads have some luck elements, if they fail to seize the opportunity and are counterattacked by the American team, it is likely to become a tie or even overtake the score.
But that's the way the game is, in the last 1 minute, Durant and Thompson and others relied on foul tactics to try to shoot three points on the outside, but they failed to hit, and the last bit of suspense of the game was over.
97:88!
The spectators watching the match from the sidelines and the fans in front of the television were speechless with shock.
The Chinese men's basketball team actually won the American Dream Team! It's not a joke, is it?
However, the facts are in front of us, although the American Dream team competing in the Rio Olympics is not the strongest state, such as Curry, Leonard, Harden and other top stars did not participate, but after all, there are still top configurations such as James and Durant, and the whole world is still a behemoth.
Today's Chinese men's basketball team is very strong, but in the eyes of most people, it can only pose some threats to the American team like Spain, but it is difficult to really shake the hegemony of the American team in the world.
But now it's different, although it's just a round of group stage matchups, winning or losing is not crucial, but winning is winning! Even if the U.S. men's basketball team was a little underbeaten, even if there was some luck in the winning process, it still won!
The entire Chinese audience who was following this game went crazy! It's boiling like boiling water!
Once upon a time, who would have imagined that the Chinese men's basketball team could defeat an opponent like the American men's basketball team on the world stage?
The host of Huaxia Sports Station, who was in charge of broadcasting the game, trembled with excitement.
"97:88, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the United States team for the first time in history, this is a milestone scene, this victory will go down in history, and it also represents the Chinese men's basketball team rushing out of Asia and truly standing on the stage of the world's strongest team!"
