Chapter 835 [Two Tactics, One Victory]

The Chinese team attacked, and Sun Yue made a mistake when passing the ball to Yao Ming, and was stealed by Bosh in front of him.

As soon as Bosh passed Guo Xu to counterattack, he reached the midfield in a few steps, changed direction and dribbled past Liu Wei.

Guo Xu's breakthrough through the heavy guard is completely unreasonable, and the only feint is to shake his shoulder, which is faster than you. He entered the penalty area in the middle to attract Yi Jianlian to make up the defense and give the ball to James on the left, who jumped up and scored with a tomahawk in his right hand. 8 to 11.

The Chinese team attacked, Yao Ming covered to help Liu Wei break through the ball, and Yi Jianlian missed the shot in the face of Anthony.

Guo Xu received the ball and counterattacked, Liu Wei retreated too far back, and Guo Xu grabbed a three-point shot one meter outside the three-point line on the left side. 11 to 11.

For Guo Xu, if the opponent is ahead by less than 10 points, it is not called a lead, and he can catch up after a few rounds.

Chinese coach Younas asked for a timeout and replaced Chen Jianghua with a double guard, while Wade replaced Anthony on the American side, and James took the No. 4 position, and the overall speed was faster.

After the timeout, Liu Wei immediately returned a three-pointer on the right side, and the U.S. team missed. 11 to 14.

Bryant's three-point jumper in the right corner was deflected under interference, China counterattacked, and Chen Jianghua broke through to score a layup, 11-16.

The Chinese fans applauded warmly, not knowing whether it was for the performance of the Chinese players or for Guo Xu's "kaleidoscope writing wheels". If other people had been replaced by the coach for playing like this, not only would he not have been replaced, but there would have been applause.

The positional players pulled away, Guo Xu passed to James on the side, Kobe Bryant went to the low post to ask for the ball, and James passed the ball over.

Kobe Bryant singled out Sun Yue like an addiction, this time no one came up to wrap up, he leaned on his back twice and turned around to the bottom line to shoot a jumper, and finally scored one. 13 to 16.

Next, the two sides attacked, the difference in points has not been opened, Guo Xu was replaced and rested after the first quarter, and Paul couldn't suppress the Chinese team when he played. It wasn't until the end of the first half that James and Wade scored consecutive points on fast breaks, and the point difference gradually widened.

The U.S. led by nine points at 50-41 in the first half.

China was able to bite the score, in addition to Yao Ming's stable performance, Zhu Fangyu and Liu Wei each shot three three-pointers.

At halftime, Lao K chatted with Guo Xu alone and whispered: "I think it's almost good if you want to save face for the Chinese team, and if you win too little, we don't look good on our side." ”

Guo Xu smiled and asked: "Then I will defend well in the second half, shoot more, and win them by 30 points?" ”

"Cast it." Lao K couldn't cry or laugh, he had been a coach for so many years, and he had never seen someone like Guo Xu as the core, basically out of the control of the coach.

Lao K is a little unhappy but he can't do anything about Guo Xu, he can still lead the team to win if he is lazy. If he is allowed to be a bench because he does not defend seriously, Lao K will be scolded to death by 6 billion, and fans want to see Guo Xu play.

When the players came out, the old K and D'Antoni sat side by side, looking at D'Antoni with a strange look. He is very curious about how D'Antoni usually coaches in the Suns, will he call a timeout to "play seriously" and "release the water next"?

In the 2006-07 regular season, the Suns, who won 78 games, had the capital to play like this, and if they were serious in every game, Guo Xu could not play an average of 30 minutes per game. Now the Dream Eight team can do the same, and the strength of them and their opponents in the warm-up game is very different.

In the third quarter, the old K asked Kobe Bryant to guard the water cooler, giving Reed and Wade more playing time. Kobe frowned and looked unhappy, and the old K pretended not to see it.

In the first half, Kobe Bryant shot 4 of 11, shooting the most in the game, he can be cool in the half, if he wants to be an uncle and go back to the Warriors, the people here will not coax him.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Coach K made Kobe Bryant a blue-collar worker at the London Olympics. Although you can find a lot of video highlights on the Chinese Internet like "Kobe Bryant's god-level performance in the 12 Olympics" and "Kobe's real offensive kaleidoscope", in fact, he only averages 12.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, and he is just a spiritual leader who leads the majority of Komi.

The Chinese team couldn't stand it in this quarter, and the rotation of the Dream Eight team was also a group of NBA stars, and there was a big gap between the strength of China's starters and substitutes. Some people are not at the core of the club, how can they take on the responsibility on the international stage?

For example, Chen Jianghua, he is a point guard who averages 21 minutes per game, 9.4 points and 2.2 assists in the CBA, this is the peak data of his career, and he can only defend against the world's No. 1 point guard Guo Xu by relying on speed?

When Yi Jianlian rested, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming were not suitable to play together, and the mobility of the inside line would become worse, and Guo Xu launched a quick counterattack to often create more and fewer opportunities, at least the stars were one-on-one.

The positional battle opened, Guo Xu can not only block and dismantle the dislocation with the inside, but also pass to James to attack with the ball, attract the defense on the outside, and open up the space. James has some overlapping positions with Kobe Bryant and Wade, and together with Reed and Guo Xu, he can give full play to his own advantages.

Guo Xu scored 9 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, leading the U.S. team to 82-56 to widen the score.

His goals were all three-pointers, with him shooting 3-of-4 from the field. He can also deliver assists on breakaways, and has two accurate long passes to assist Wade and James on a fast-break dunk.

Guo Xu was substituted for rest after playing for 5 minutes in the final quarter, and the game entered garbage time, and many Chinese fans were still shouting his name, hoping that he could play for a while.

Everyone is mentally prepared for losing, and they are not depressed at all, and they want to watch the stars perform. It's a pity that Lao K didn't let Guo Xu play again, and he had to let other stars have a chance to show their faces.

Guo Xu played 25 minutes in his debut, shooting 8-of-10, 5-of-7 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws, scoring 23 points, 14 assists and 3 steals. Backup point guard Paul was much worse than him, with only 4 points and 3 assists.

Six of the Dream Eight team scored double-doubles, and Wade, who scored the second-most points, scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 18 minutes.

The Olympics are a 10-minute quarter, 40 minutes in the game, and NBA stars with good physical strength will not get tired even if they play the whole game. Wade, who has adapted to Pat Riley's Devil's training, only played 18 minutes, exploded as soon as he got on the court, and couldn't stop at all.

In the counterattack, Wade's lost steps are really "passing people like crossing the road", and the Chinese players are not as fast as him, and they are not as strong as him. His bounce was also terrifying, and several violent dunks directly made the audience explode, winning the most applause except Guo Xu.

At 108-78 in the final game, the United States won by 30 points. Old K doesn't know how to evaluate it, no more, no less, just the same as what Guo Xu said at halftime, can this thing still be calculated?

In fact, it mainly depends on the fighting spirit of Yao Ming and his teammates. The Beijing Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chinese players. It is a great honour to represent the country on our doorstep. Therefore, the men's basketball players who can participate in this Olympic Games are very concerned about the results of the game, and everyone has only one goal, to show everything they have for the motherland, and do their best!

The Chinese men's basketball team has created the smallest point difference in the history of the two sides, one point less than Guo Xu's previous life, which is a victory that everyone is happy about, and there are no losers.

Guo Xu and several big-name stars attended the post-match press conference and talked about their feelings.

"The U.S. team is going to win the gold medal, and I'm 100 percent confident that you can feel it when you listen to my songs," he said. ”

The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate the performance of the Chinese team?" ”

"Very strong, they have superstar center Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi also have the strength to play in the NBA, and the combination of inside and outside offense is very good. However, the Chinese team is not good enough defensively, and if they can defend solidly, I think they will have a chance to win against Spain, and they will definitely qualify from the group. ”

His words made everyone who supported the Chinese team very comfortable, and Spain was the last champion.
