1294. Defeated the United States, entered the final for the first time! (3/10 for double commuter pass)
Liu Mang's technical actions and crazy scoring in the second half of the first quarter made fans seem to see the god of basketball!
The more the U.S. team can't defend itself, the more Larry Brown has to strengthen his defense, Boozer and Bosh can't make good use of both points, especially Bosh, who went up to play a round and was replaced,
34 to 17!
Liu Mang scored 11 points in the second half of the first quarter, Li Nan and Wang Shipeng each scored a three-pointer, and Yao Ming made an empty dunk when he was on Boozer, helping the Chinese team stretch the difference to 17 points in one fell swoop!
In the past, the U.S. team scored more than 30 points in a single quarter, but this time the U.S. team was scored more than 30 points in a single quarter by the opponent!
The mentality of the players of the American team has collapsed!
The picture of the quarterfinals two years ago is vivid!
There was a little difference between that time and now, that time it was Liu Mang who used the magician's star card to drive the team to attack.
This time, the players of the American team obviously feel that the role players of the Chinese team are much stronger than the last time, and it can be seen from the previous performance of the Chinese team that the three points are more accurate, and the defensive confrontation is more sufficient, but in the first quarter today, the role players of the Chinese team have not been very powerful on the offensive end, Liu Mang scored 17 points in a single quarter, Yao Ming 6 points, 3 boards and 1 block, with Wang Zhizhi, Wang Shipeng, Li Nan a three-pointer, Wang Zhizhi also has an empty cut layup, the Chinese team has a lead of 17 points!
Yao Ming and Liu Mang alone can't stop them, this is probably the strongest player in their respective positions in the NBA, and they are ...... The strongest point, Wade, only scored 4 points in 1 of 7 in the first quarter!
scored 17 points in the first quarter, mainly 11 points in the second half of the quarter, which made Liu Mang's containment infinitely magnified.
Liu Mang didn't need to do too much action in the second quarter, and the opponent's defensive attention was on him.
In the second quarter, the Chinese team switched back to the starting lineup, when the United States team focused on defending the outside three-point, the silver fox Harris took the lead in responding, even if Liu Mang is strong, if the opponent uses two people to attack, one person is ready to assist in defense, Liu Mang is also choked enough, and can only rely on role players to shoot, but role players are used to open up space.
Therefore, Silver Fox Harris responded accurately, at the beginning of the second quarter, again to Larry Brown's expectations, the Chinese team did not let Liu Mang, who scored 17 points in a single quarter in the first quarter, continue to wave, but let Yao Ming chisel a few under the basket, and soon the score was stretched to 40-19, as soon as the Chinese team came up in the second quarter, they relied on Yao Ming to score six points in a row, and the difference was stretched to 21 points!
The crazy performance of the Chinese team, which was difficult for the American team to accept, had the absolute upper hand from the beginning of the game! And it's survived!
In the next game, the U.S. team is playing more and more sluggish, and the Chinese team is getting more and more excited, although the U.S. team has also relied on some shocks and counterattacks to have some scoring shock waves, and has narrowed the difference to nearly 10 points, but Liu Mang even if he doesn't use Jordan's star card, he is also the best outside line in the World Championships, and the use of containment to organize the offense is the focus of Liu Mang after the start of the second quarter of the game. Stabilize the situation.
The Chinese team, which has a psychological advantage, has made more and more correct decisions, and its playing style is becoming more and more clear, that is, to seek stability, not to continue to open up the point difference, and stability is the key.
The bigger the U.S. team became, the more chaotic it became, with some clear scoring impacts in the second half of the second quarter, and they all maintained defense in the third quarter.
In addition to the madness of 34 points in the first quarter, the Chinese team scored 24 points in the second quarter and 21 points in the third quarter, the United States team did a good job in defense in the second quarter and the first half of the third quarter, especially in the first half of the third quarter, the defense was very good, in the case of poor performance on the offensive end, the United States team narrowed the difference to 11 points at the minimum, and when the third quarter was interrupted, the United States team only trailed by 11 points at 53-64, but in the second half of the third quarter, the American team collapsed!
Liu Mang and Li Nan scored two three-pointers in a row, playing a wave of 12 to 2, and suddenly stretched the difference to 21 points again, and the mentality of the American team completely exploded!
After the third quarter, the Chinese team was 79-59, and the 20-point difference entered the fourth quarter!
If...... The U.S. team held on a little longer, and Li Nan, Wang Shipeng, Guo Shiqiang, and Zhu Fangyu, who were fighting against the U.S. team's group of explosive physical stars, the four outside lines who dared to shoot and dare to fight, may not be able to hold on, and Yao Ming's physical strength began to decline in the first three quarters, and the interior defense is bound to have a huge impact.
But...... The U.S. team didn't make it out!
Liu Mang scored 33 points in the third quarter, how do you want them to hold on!
17 points in the first quarter, 3 points in the second quarter, 13 points in the third quarter, and Liu Mang scored 33 points in the third quarter of the World Championships!
This makes the American team collapse!
In the third quarter, they defended the Chinese team very well, Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in a row, Liu Mang's two three-pointers were not too unexpected, the key was Li Nan, a veteran, who unexpectedly made two three-pointers in a row, and suddenly crushed the tight strings of the American team!
In the fourth quarter, the U.S. team didn't do anything on the defensive end, and Larry Brown's scolding was useless, which only made Bosh and Bosh's brothers, who already hated him, annoy him even more.
James suggested a swap for Paul or Joe Johnson, but Larry Brown said those guys didn't work......
Liu Mang was right!
He was like a crazy gambler, trying to open up the difference in the first quarter, if the United States team was given a chance to drag the team composed of NBA bigwigs to the last moment, it would be difficult for the Chinese team to grind them, and the Greek team in the group stage was a few points ahead at the beginning, and finally overturned by Wade and Battier's key goals.
After the Greek team defeated Argentina, Liu Mang took a good look at the game of the Greek team, focusing on the game between the Greek team and the United States team, learned a lot of things, and recalled how the Greek team killed the United States in 2006 in the original time and space, but the characteristics of the two teams are different, the Chinese team is good at attacking, and the Greek team is good at defense.
So, there was a certain time in the first quarter, Liu Mang quickly turned on the Wang Bang mode, beat the opponent, and then used the shooting of teammates strengthened by the light of the Chinese people buff and Yao Ming's strong play to stabilize the situation in the second quarter, and in the third quarter, Liu Mang, who regained his sense of play, won consecutive singles when the team was about to fall into a crisis, and Li Nan also gave the American team the two deadliest three-pointers, and did not give the American team a chance to drag it to the critical moment!
Silver Fox Harris's tactics, combined with Liu Mang's strategy, and the light buff of the Chinese people, made the American team lose hope!
In the final quarter, the U.S. team began to chase points on the outside, not to mention that they really made several, and the strength was there, and James threw in a three-pointer in the final quarter.
However, the 20-point difference at the end of the third quarter was too big, although the Chinese team lost by 6 points 15-21 in the final quarter, but in the end, the Chinese team defeated the American team by 94-80 with a 14-point difference!
