With Younas' encouragement, the Chinese team returned to their normal three-point feel in the second half of the third quarter, and because of Yao Ming's advantage in fighting for rebounds, the shooters were very resolute when shooting from the outside, which also improved their shooting percentage to a certain extent. After Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu teamed up to hit three three-pointers, they finally returned to single digits.

Lao K frowned on the sidelines, because of Yao Ming, he had never underestimated the Chinese men's basketball team, but now he found that he still underestimated this opponent. They are a little different from the previous Chinese men's basketball team, they are more confident on the court, braver, and stronger in terms of personal strength, it seems that the Dream Eight team will need to take a lot of effort to kill them.

However, for the sake of the end of the third quarter, he decided to let the players on the court play the remaining minutes, as long as they can continue to maintain the margin at around seven or eight points. Under the offensive of the Chinese team, the players of the American men's basketball team also cheered up, especially on the defensive end, they no longer behaved like a child, which also allowed them to achieve the goal of Lao K.

In order to quickly establish a victory in the first half of the fourth quarter, Lao K decided to send what he thinks to be the strongest lineup, point guard Wade, point guard Kobe, small forward James, big forward Bosh, and center Howard. Although there are still many top superstars in the league sitting on the bench, in Lao K's opinion, there is no stronger lineup in the Dream Eight team than the current one, and he is very trouble-free when using this lineup, if the opponent's defense is not strong, then these five people can take turns to hold the ball and play alone, they have such ability.

Younas also did not dare to relax, and the lineup he sent was Chen Jianghua, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, just like a Guangdong team with Yao Ming. Of course, this is also part of his consideration, except for Yao Ming, the four people have worked together in the CBA league, and they are very familiar with each other, which will allow them to play far beyond the standard.

Of course, if Younas finds that Chen Jianghua is still unable to compete with his opponent, he will let Liu Wei play as soon as possible, for the same reason that he is sending this lineup now. Liu Wei was once considered the best person in the entire team to pass the ball to Yao Ming, after all, they were on the same team and even in the same dormitory from childhood to adulthood, until Yao Ming joined the NBA as the champion.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the U.S. team set off an offensive frenzy, and they disdained to use their own defense to limit the Chinese team's offense, but wanted to destroy the opponent with a powerful offense, even if Kobe, Wade and Howard's defense was among the best in the league. This does make it difficult for the Chinese team to cope with, especially when they lack a good defender, but they can choose to respond in another way, and that is attacking, isn't there a saying? Offense is the best defense!

Yao Ming held back the opponent's defense on the inside, and he might have had some difficulty facing Howard and Bosh, but Yi Jianlian was also explosive in this game, and his mid-range shooting and offensive efficiency under the basket were very good. With him on the side, Yao Ming's pressure on the inside line is not as great as expected, so Younas is right to ask for the inside line to play first.

However, the Chinese team's outside line has suffered a heavy blow, although the old K instructed the stars of the American team to attack with all their might, but for Wade, Kobe Bryant and even James, defense is a matter of deep in their bones. Their all-out interference caused the Chinese shooters to shoot a significant drop in their shooting percentage, forcing them to run longer distances in each round in search of opportunities. But you must know that this is the fourth quarter, and the special training given to them by Chang Wei does not seem to be very useful now.

As a result, the Chinese team must concentrate all their offense on the inside, which puts a lot of pressure on Yao Ming, who is the number one attack point on the inside, because the players of the American team can recklessly shrink the defense, and with their athleticism, they can fully save the first time Yao Ming passes the ball to the outside. When the U.S. men's basketball team contracted its defense, Yao Ming's shooting percentage dropped irrepressibly, which also made the difference between the two sides be stretched back to double digits, and now there is not much time left for them.

But at this time, Chang Wei stood up and shouted at Yao Ming, asking him to pull him to the outside line. Yao Ming suddenly woke up to the fact that before the start of the Olympics, in addition to practicing how to crack the front defense, another major training was three-point shooting.

When Yao Ming pulled to the outside, the U.S. team was all confused, you must know that in the NBA, three-point shooting is not Yao Ming's main way of scoring, although he also relied on three-point points to save the team, but most people think that he was blindfolded. This time, however, Yao Ming showed the world his long-range shooting ability, hitting two three-pointers in a row at the top of the arc, and both of them were hollow into the frame. On the outside, no one could stop him, and the anti-aircraft gun was desperate.

However, Yao Ming is still not used to shooting threes, especially when the old K motioned for Bosh to move to the high post to interfere with him, his shooting percentage dropped rapidly, which forced him to return to the low post with the ball and back to single. But this kind of attack is too time-consuming, and if he can't stop the opponent from scoring, it is useless for him to try to score points himself.

After pushing Yao Ming to the low post, the U.S. team didn't give China any chance, and Kobe Bryant and Wade's projections on the outside made it difficult for the Chinese team to find a turning point in the game. In the end, the score between the two sides was 101-80, and the Chinese team lost by 21 points, but when the final whistle blew, the Chinese fans who came to watch the game still stood up collectively to give applause and cheers to the national team.

In their opinion, it is good enough to be able to play to such a level against the star-studded American team, not to mention that they look able to compete with the United States in the first three quarters. 21 points created the smallest point difference between the Chinese men's basketball team and the American Dream Team in the Olympic Games, Chang Wei remembered that the score difference in the previous game was 31 points, and his own efforts narrowed the gap by 10 points.

10 points may seem like a lot, but it means they could beat Greece or even Spain so that they don't have to face a strong Lithuania in the first knockout game like they did in their previous lives. Younas felt sorry for this result, but Chang Wei felt that it was normal, and now China has not yet been able to threaten the position of the United States, and they still have a lot to do.

But in any case, the Chinese men's basketball team played their characteristics in this game, and once fought with the United States inseparably, although they still lost to their opponents in the end, but they were still glorious in this game.
