Chapter 574: First Battle of the United States

At 10:15 p.m., the first game of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games officially started. However, this has no impact on the US men's basketball team, they have seen more big scenes, and there are famous players like Kobe and Kidd to press the lineup.

The starting lineup of this old K is Kidd, Kobe, James, Anthony and Howard, this is undoubtedly a big and four small lineup in terms of height, but in fact, both James and Anthony can play a cameo role as a big forward, and the effect is not bad. The starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, which is also the strongest lineup that Younas can think of at present, and his thinking is very clear, that is, to open the situation on the inside first.

The two sides jumped the ball, and Howard did not seem to have gotten rid of the shadow of being blown up by Yao Ming in the NBA, and the Chinese team got the first wave of the ball in the game. But as soon as Liu Wei got the ball, he was immediately pressed by the American team, and it was obvious that Lao K had also done his homework against the Chinese team, and he hoped to take advantage of the player's super athleticism.

When the United States just offered a full-court press, Younas couldn't help but look back at Chang Wei in surprise, but he didn't expect him to be right, the opponent would obviously adopt full-court pressing tactics unscrupulously. The U.S. team, in particular, is more than a notch higher in athleticism than the Chinese team, and it would be very dangerous if there was no preparation before the game started.

But now Lao K's plan is obviously unable to achieve the set goal, and he didn't expect that the Chinese men's basketball team had conducted special training for the full-court pressing before. Liu Wei and Sun Yue had already taken the ball past the half court after three passes and two falls, and they were about to be squeezed into the corner, so they quickly shook their hands and passed the ball to Yao Ming near the free throw line, which also meant that the United States' full-court pressing tactics in this round were declared bankrupt.

Yao Ming did not hesitate, the moment he received the ball, he felt that he was back on the NBA court, and the opponents were all familiar faces, so it was necessary to score in a familiar way. He made a slight adjustment, spotted Howard, who rushed out from under the basket to make up for the defense, and then sent the ball into the basket with a precise mid-range shot to help the Chinese team open the scoring.

Lao K spread his hands on the sidelines, he didn't have a good way, Yao Ming was already the top interior killer in the NBA, he couldn't think of any way to limit this big man, maybe it was a good choice to go around the front defense?

As for the offensive veteran of the American team, he is not worried, Kobe, James and Anthony are on the floor at the same time, with both Kidd organizing and Howard grabbing the board, and throwing the ball into the basket is undoubtedly a very simple thing. And this time Kobe Bryant and Howard played a pick-and-roll, he himself broke through Sun Yue's defense, and also hit a mid-range pull-up jumper near the free throw line.

When it was the Chinese team's turn to attack, Lao K stood up and shouted at James, signaling him to go around to defend Yao Ming. James nodded, and when Chang Wei landed in the low post, he decisively stuck in front of Yao Ming, anyway, there is no three-second limit in the international arena, which is beneficial to his defense. Seeing James go up to defend Yao Ming in front, Chang Wei smiled slightly, everything was in his control, after all, in the previous training process, Yao Ming had specially conducted special training for the front defense.

I saw that Liu Wei, who was in charge of controlling the ball, did not hand the ball directly to Yao Ming, but passed it to Zhu Fangyu on the weak side. The moment the U.S. team's attention shifted, Zhu Fangyu quickly threw the ball into Yao Ming's hand from another angle, and the latter scored with an easy dunk. This is the strategy that Chang Wei and Younas discussed before, it is very simple, but now it seems to be working very well.

In the face of Yao Ming, Howard obviously has no advantage on the offensive end, which also makes the American team have to start from the outside first to see if they can directly blow up the opponent with a shot. This offensive focus is undoubtedly diametrically opposed to the Chinese team, and for a time the two teams on the court were distinct, the Chinese team focused on Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian's under-the-basket offense, and the American team constantly tried to shoot.

Lao K has a lot of trust in the shooting skills of his own players, but he can't stand them too far from the basket, and he has to be harassed by Chinese players all the time. Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and Liu Wei may not be at the level of stealing or blocking Kobe, but they can always interfere when he shoots, which also reduces the shooting percentage of the American team to a certain extent. In addition, Howard's advantage in rebounding is not as big as he imagined, originally one Yao Ming was enough for him to bear, plus Yi Jianlian, a starter of an NBA weak team, his situation on the inside is also very embarrassing.

On the other hand, on the Chinese team's side, Yao Ming turned over the river and the sea under the basket alone, and there was almost no one in front of him, and the defense around the front arranged by Lao K was also easily cracked. Although his teammates couldn't shoot too high a shot percentage after receiving his pass, it was still a decent performance, and there was almost no obvious difference between the two sides when Lao K made his first substitution.

This situation also made the cheers of the Chinese fans in the audience louder, although there are many fans of Kidd, Kobe, James and others, but now this is the national team game, and they still support their own country's team from the bottom of their hearts. Being able to bite the score in the game against the United States is already a big surprise for these fans.

The old K quickly replaced Anthony with Bosh, perhaps he thought the team needed to increase the height of the interior, and Bosh's mid-to-long-range shooting could also enrich the team's tactical play. Then he replaced Kidd with Paul, no matter how Kidd is now past his prime, the starter is the starter, his physical strength still needs to be paid attention to, and it will be no problem to send Paul.

Younas quickly made substitutions, and also changed two people at a time, Chen Jianghua replaced Liu Wei, Wang Zhizhi replaced Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming was still left on the field by him. In fact, Younas still hopes that Yao Ming can rest more, but without Yao Ming, the Chinese team is likely to be defeated, and he does not dare to take risks, although in the end China is almost 100% going to lose the game.

Soon the fans were surprised to find that the fiercest confrontation on the field was not on the inside, but in the No. 1 position, Chen Jianghua against Paul. Both of them are fast and very dexterous little men, Chen Jianghua's speed is even faster than Paul's, and the confrontation between the two of them on the field can be said to be galloping, of course, this is also the result of Chang Wei's special training.
