"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Zhou Qi's mid-range hit steadily.

Although the hit rate after the confrontation will drop a lot, there is no such thing as this empty opportunity.

Counting this mid-range, this attack alone, the Chinese team scored 5 points.

The score instantly became 5-10!

After Tang Shuai saw Zhou Qi's hit, he turned around and gave him a high-five, and then beckoned his teammates to retreat.

Although it was a little embarrassing before, it finally opened up the situation.

Coach K glanced at Cousins thoughtfully at this time, and then looked back at Drummond, who was sitting on the bench, and seemed to have the idea of substitution.

The U.S. team's offense, Irving advanced to the front court with the ball, and was just about to call Durant to run to receive the ball.

"Give me the ball!"

At this moment, Cousins leaned against Yi Jianlian and shouted at Owen.

Owen hesitated, but passed the ball over.

Cousins leaned on Yi Jianlian, continued to rely on the play, pressed to the basket, and scored a turning board.

"!"

was continuously eaten by Cousins, Yi Jianlian was in a bad mood, and lowered his head and burst into a foul mouth.

Cousins glanced back at him, and stepped forward, and the referee sounded a warning whistle in time.

Cousins retreated, and when he passed by Tang Shuai's side, he said defiantly: "You provoke me, it is not good at all!" ”

Tang Shuai smiled, saw that Yi Jianlian was a little depressed, walked over and said: "UAE, don't let Cousins go to the basket easily, his offensive habits are very bad, if you resist him at the free throw line, he will choose to shoot there." ”

Yi Jianlian nodded, he belongs to the kind of player with excellent physical fitness and ability, but the ball quotient is not particularly outstanding, in the face of Cousins, an opponent whose strength and weight are much stronger than him, he really can't defend under the basket, but fortunately, he is still very able to listen to other people's advice.

The Chinese team's offense, the defensive center of gravity of the American team is obviously tilted towards Tang Shuai, his defender has changed from Irving to Butler, and Leonard's defensive position is also leaning on his side, as if he will help defend at any time.

The biggest difference between the American team and European teams is that they emphasize individual ability, unlike European teams that focus on team tactical coordination, and there is no too long training time, but this also has the advantage that the team's freedom on the field is much higher than that of other teams, and they can adjust themselves according to the needs of the field.

Tang Shuai had insight into the defensive changes of the American team, and did not let Zhou Qi come out to block and dismantle as he did in the previous rounds, but stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to run a tactic.

Zhao Haoyan and Zhai Xiaochuan ran from the right side to the left side around the bottom line, one after the other to contain the defensive formation of the American team.

Leonard was forced to move to the bottom corner, and at this moment, Yi Jianlian made a block for Tang Shuai, and Tang Shuai broke through with the trend.

It was a successful tactic, and when Tang Shuai broke inside, Thompson was the only defender left in front of him.

The two are facing each other, and the familiar scene seems to make people return to the Western Conference semifinals at once.

Tang Shuai didn't break too deep, one changed to the right, let Thompson's center of gravity to the right, and then followed by another to the left, raising his hand for a Maddy-style dry pull-out jumper.

Thompson is tall and big, and his center of gravity is definitely not as fast as Tang Shuai's, so he can only watch him make a move.

"Huh!"

A solid two-point hit.

The score of the two sides was 7-12, and the Chinese team was still only 5 points behind.

Tang Shuai did not retreat immediately after scoring, but looked at Cousins, shrugged his shoulders meaningfully, and then turned around and ran back.

This was clearly deliberate, and Cousins' angry teeth itched.

The offense of the American team, Cousins wanted to teach the Chinese team some more lessons, but he soon found that Yi Jianlian would not let him go inside this time, and he only lingered near the free throw line in the end.

Durant took advantage of Leonard's block, received Irving's pass and hit the mid-range, as the NBA's top scorer, he was a big killer on the international stage.

The Chinese team's attack, Tang Shuai once again called his teammates to run tactics, but this time he did not choose to attack by himself, but after attracting the defense, he hit the ball to the vacant Zhao Haoyan.

Zhao Haoyan's shot was fast, but he was still interfered with by Butler's flying body, fortunately, Butler's action was a little too big, violating his shooting cylinder, and the referee blew a defensive foul.

Zhao Haoyan as a pitcher, the stability of free throws is very stable in the Chinese team, and after all three free throws, the Chinese team chased the score to 10-14.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The Chinese fans at the scene let out a deafening cheer.

Cousins still failed to get into the inside, Yi Jianlian sank his weight very hard, and leaned forward with all his strength, which greatly made up for the difference in weight and strength between the two.

couldn't get in, but Cousins couldn't help it, Tang Shuai's provocative movements returned to his mind over and over again, and he opened his hand directly at the free throw line to ask Owen for the ball.

Irving was ready to let Durant run tactics at this time, and hesitated not to pass it.

"Give me the ball!"

Cousins saw that Irving didn't pass the ball over at the first time, and pushed Yi Jianlian hard with his body, and then shouted again.

Durant was almost out of position at this time, and when he saw Cousins angrily asking for the ball, he stopped running.

Seeing that Durant was not running, Irving withdrew the ball and passed it to Cousins.

Cousins received the ball and directly chose to hit it back.

Cousins' back hit is still one of the best in the league, and this time he used his body to turn around Yi Jianlian sharply, and rushed directly to the basket It was a violent dunk.

After the dunk, Cousins roared at Yi Jianlian, and his whole body was full of muscles, and he was like an angry black bear.

"Tang's idea is good, but he clearly overestimates the defensive ability of the Chinese team." Barkley opened his mouth at this time to analyze that after the Chinese team chased the score from 0-10 to 10-14, he finally realized what Tang Shuai's purpose was, but now the result is that the Chinese team can't stop the angry Cousins.

Tang Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball, wanting his teammates to play tactics, but I have to say that the reaction of these top players was really fast, and this time the running position did not get half a point of offensive opportunity in the end.

Seeing the time passing on the offense, Tang Shuai could only signal his teammates to pull away, and then relied on Butler to directly choose to hit his back.

One blow, two blows, with the advantage of power, he pressed Butler step by step.

The old Coach K on the sidelines was very surprised to see this scene, he was not an NBA player, and he didn't know much about Tang Shuai, and Tang Shuai had hardly used this technique in previous games, but now he could press Butler to play, which surprised him.

In fact, because of the exclusive breakthrough pack, his offensive focus naturally shifted to the breakthrough, plus the three-point and dry pull pack, he is basically enough in the average game.

But just because he doesn't have it doesn't mean he won't, the purple back pack that was knocked off Joe Johnson has always been there.

He pressed Butler to the free-throw line, turning to the left and then leaning back to the right.

The Eagle King is packed on his back to receive the truth back bag, although they are all weakened versions, but they are linked together, and the attack power of this move is full.

Butler is good at that kind of stalking-style defense, and he is not so good at dealing with this kind of technical back play, and after Tang Shuai's jumper, his defense did not even interfere with Tang Shuai's shooting vision.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai scored another jump shot, counting the previous score, he had already scored 7 points in the first quarter alone, and 3 shots were missed.

12-16, the Chinese team chased the score.

"Chinese team, come on!"

The emotions of the Chinese fans at the scene have been fully mobilized, shouting loudly to cheer for the Chinese team, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that this is a match between the Chinese team and the United States, and the two teams will play so anxiously.

Cousins was annoyed.

Although it is the first time he has been selected for the national team, he knows what kind of team he is part of, and since its formation in 1992, the Dream Team has won four of the five Olympic Games in the past 20 years.

But now, this team is being chased by Asian teams! What's even worse is that Tang Shuai is constantly provoking him!

Moreover, Yi Jianlian's top defense made him feel very uncomfortable!

"Carey, give me the ball!"

After advancing to the frontcourt, he once again opened his hand to ask for the ball from Irving.

Owen didn't hesitate this time and handed the ball over directly.

In the past round, Cousins scored a team-high 6 points on 2-3 shooting plus 2 free throws, and there is no reason not to play him with such a high offensive efficiency.

Tang Shuai glanced back at Zhou Qi at this time, and Zhou Qi nodded knowingly.

Cousins sank his weight and began to play alone, and after hitting twice, he used his body advantage to turn around and go directly to the basket, this time he used a lot of strength, holding his mouth as if he was ready to do another violent abuse frame.

However, Yi Jianlian had a lesson from the previous goal, and successfully judged the direction of Cousins' turn, although he still couldn't withstand it, but it was not completely shaken away, but constantly blocked Cousins's progress.

If Cousins is compared to a tank, then Yi Jianlian is like a moving big rock at this time, although it can't completely stop the tank's advance, but it can't accelerate at full strength.

Cousins pressed Yi Jianlian to the basket, and soon discovered this change, although he has an advantage in weight and strength, it is still a little difficult to directly block Yi Jianlian head-on.

Fortunately, he is an interior with a lot of offensive means, and if he can't dunk, he immediately switches offense and defense, and turns around with a flowing hook hand.

At such a close distance, he is at least eighty percent sure that he can hit, and he has already turned around after the shot, even if he really doesn't score, he is confident that he can grab the offensive rebound and score a second time.

There is nothing wrong with Cousins' thoughts, and even his self-confident performance is completely reasonable.

But what he didn't expect was that after he shot and turned, the basketball did not fall to the basket as he imagined, but when it was almost at the highest point.

"Smack!"

A hand rushed into his field of vision. (To be continued.) )
