Chapter 111: The Voice of the System
The two sides jumped the ball, Yao Ming had an advantage in facing Howard, and it was the only place where the Chinese team could be proud of facing the American team.
Since the NBA entered the 21st century, the topic around center O'Neal, Yao Ming, and Howard has never been broken, in fact, there are not many peak intersections of these three centers, O'Neal is getting older, Yao Ming is at the peak, and when Yao Ming's injury plagues him, Howard rises. It's hard for these three super centers to meet the pinnacle matchup.
Yao Ming O'Neal's duel can't be regarded as a peak duel at all, compared to it, Yao Ming and Howard's duel is more interesting.
In the early years, Yao Ming and O'Neill had little off-the-field interaction, and O'Neill didn't even know that Yao Ming could speak English.
Yao squeezed O'Neal out of the All-Star starter next year, and O'Neal has been haunted by it.
Fans know that in the NBA, stars like O'Neal are very arrogant, generally they don't bow to anyone, if you want them to convince you, you have to use strength to convince them.
With the duel between Yao Ming and O'Neal, O'Neill gradually recognized the big man from China, and when facing the media, O'Neal called Yao Ming his brother.
And O'Neill never recognized Howard as a little brother, and he even mocked Howard for not being dominant and very soft.
Li Zhi's thoughts are the same as teammate O'Neal, the peak Yao Ming's offense is several grades stronger than the peak Howard, and the offensive methods and scoring methods are diverse: left and right hand hooks, fantasy dance steps, half-volleys, turning shots and steady free throws, and a variety of scoring methods make the opponent's defense helpless.
At the same time, Yao Ming also has better vision and adaptability, which makes Yao Ming not only an offensive finisher, but also an offensive hub.
It can be said that Yao Ming's existence alone has given the Rockets countless sets of offensive methods, which are incomparable to Howard. Although there are not as many hard honors as Howard, I personally think that Howard's strength on the defensive end is reflected in the data, including rebounds and blocks, while Yao Ming's strength on the offensive end is not fully reflected in the data, especially the ability to respond.
Of course, the playoffs are not as good as the Sparks, but there are also factors such as the uneven strength of the East and West and the teammates around the team.
Take as an example, Yao Ming makes Howard deflated every time he sees him, which is also true, it is still in the NBA, and in the international arena, Howard is not Yao Ming's opponent.
Howard faced Yao Ming in other aspects, but he didn't lose the jump ball, the basketball flew in front of the point guard Liu Wei, and he was about to be picked up by Paul, in Liu Wei's concept, Yao Ming would not lose the jump ball at all, but he was unexpectedly jumped by Howard this time.
In this way, the basketball hurriedly flew in front of Liu Wei, in fact, as long as Liu Weiwei stretched out his hand, the basketball could be earned, but he did not have this awareness.
Consciousness, this is the gap, Li Zhi saw this scene, sighed in his heart, and won James.
Without the desire to win, there will be no victory, this ball, difficult, Li Zhi sold even more to defend James.
The U.S. team did not attack first, and the question of who they gave their first shot to has remained unanswered. Sometimes, there are too many stars, and this is also a kind of annoyance, and the "old K" coach is worried about this kind of thing.
Although Kobe Bryant had already said that he could sacrifice data to bring victory to the team, when distributing the ball, there was less ball, and Kobe still had some contradictions in his heart.
The concept of status exists in the NBA. Even Bosh, who is the least famous starter on the American team, is a well-deserved leader of the first team in the NBA.
James is the chosen son of the NBA in recent years, but after all, he is a junior, and Kobe's words are still somewhat convincing, so although there are some contradictions, the American team soon forgot as they entered the state.
After controlling the ball, Paul immediately looked at Kobe, who was running, and Paul began to organize.
The tactics of the "old K" coach are actually not that complicated, when you have a team composed of all-stars, the tactics are just symbolic, the task of the old K coach is more to discipline this group of arrogant NBA stars, put them in a team to play, really on the court, Paul, James, even Kobe, all have organizational skills, no matter how bad there is defense, playing defense to counterattack the United States is world-class.
Soon, the Chinese team felt the strength of the American team, and the offensive wave hit layer by layer, Li Zhi limited James very well, but Liu Wei couldn't prevent Paul.
Paul passed Liu Wei in one step, this is not a level of competition at all, the Chinese fans screamed, and Paul scored two points on a stop-and-go jumper.
This is just the beginning, generally speaking, the defense is not good, the offense opens up the situation, and the Chinese team will not be so passive, but in the face of the airtight defense of the American team, only Yao Ming scored under the attack of Howard and Bosh, and Li Zhi was stared at by James on the outside, plus in the tactical position of the national team, there was already less ball possession on the outside, and Li Zhi did not have many opportunities.
After half a quarter, Li Zhi played decently, hitting a three-pointer with an outside shot, and defending James very well, James did not score a point in the half quarter.
James doesn't matter, the American team is not a Cavaliers, he can't score Kobe, Paul, Bosh and others, and the Chinese team is still abused to death.
Li Zhi and Yao Ming were able to limit James and Howard, but the other positions were all broken by the American team.
Yao Ming scored on the inside again and again, Li Zhi blocked James's fast attack again and again, while Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian were broken through and beaten again and again.
Especially Liu Wei, in the confrontation with Paul, it can be said that he has fallen into a stream, and he has been exploded into a sieve.
Point guard, China's eternal pain......
24:21
The U.S. team's high shooting percentage is terrifying, reaching an astonishing 80%, and this is still when Li Zhi defended James and let the latter hit 3 irons in a row, which shows how far the Chinese team's defense has become.
But there is no way, the difference in the strength of the players on both sides is indeed a bit big, as far as Yi Jianlian and Bosh are concerned, Yi Jianlian has more experience in the international arena than Bosh, and his strength is not bad, but the figures and technical characteristics of the two people are extremely similar, and Yi Jianlian is just a little bit worse than Bosh......
Time out!
Younas yelled at the players from the sidelines: "What are you doing, haven't you eaten?" We're not bad, use all your strength to kill them! ”
Younas tried to stir up the morale of his players with his roar, but did it do any good? A good coach, in addition to roaring, should also come up with a little tactic and make adjustments at this time.
Li Zhi didn't listen to the old man's blind comparison, but listened to the voice in the system space inexplicably excited.
PS: Who do you think Li Zhi will choose to exchange skills with...... hiahia
