The Chinese team was replaced by Liu Ren, Guo Allen, Ji Zhe, Li Muhao, and Yi Jianlian.

The U.S. team fielded Westbrook, Harden, James, Whiteside, Cousins in the second quarter.

The three best outside lines of China's defense are sent together, Ji Zhe is a baby of the national team in recent years, not to mention his character, and his style of play is also a little dirty, but he is willing to do any dirty work, his style of play is tough, and he is not afraid of causing trouble, and dares to fight hard with James.

Liu Ren is a candidate for the NBA's Best Defensive Player, plus Guo Allen, who dares to put his brain at Westbrook's hands, the defensive combination of these three is stronger than the outside defensive combination of the American team!

James and Liu are on the line, Westbrook and Harden are ...... The defense of the two is average in the NBA, although they have a physical advantage in international competitions, but they are enough to choke when they meet the deadly Guo Allen and Ji Zhe, and no matter who meets Liu Ren between the two of them, under the rules of the international arena, it is uncomfortable, and Liu Ren does not have to defend against James, with Ji Zhe to go shopping, the Chinese team has the upper hand on the outside!

The three outside lines of the U.S. team are all superstars who hold tens of millions of U.S. knives a year, and almost all of them are one of the biggest favorites for the first person in their respective positions, so it is naturally impossible to fight with Guo Allen and Ji Zhe, these two people actually have the upper hand!

Playing the American team, Giannakis has always been arranging the lineup and tactics with the mentality of a weak team head coach, thinking about average, playing with cooperation, ignoring that they have the strongest strength in the world, and he didn't notice that there is something in the team that is stronger than any team in the world - outside defense!

The saying that defense wins championships is true not only in the NBA, but also in Olympic basketball.

After the start of the second quarter, the Chinese team played a suffocating defense, due to the shortening of the three-point line, Liu Ren's defensive mobility was more vivid, and there was no defense for three seconds, which was a blessing for the interior defense of the American team, and the same was true for the interior defense of the Chinese team.

Yi Jianlian squatted on the inside and didn't come out, Cousins took the ball outside the three-second zone and shot the feint Yi Jianlian ignored it, Cousins didn't have a way, he couldn't grab the offensive rebound, and Liu Ren took the rebound on the defensive end.

It is very difficult for the U.S. team to break through from the outside and play in the crowded inside, no matter how it plays, the Chinese team is blocking the inside line, and it will be sandwiched when it comes in, and Liu Ren's ubiquitous defensive deterrence is fully exerted.

On the other hand, the Chinese team's offense played smoothly, unlike the American team, which was all strong points, the Chinese team's offensive point was very clear, and Liu Ren kept playing singles.

Liu Renjizhe is on standby for three points in the bottom corner, Yi Jianlian is basically equal to a weakened version of Gasol in the international arena, and he has an advantage in the face of anyone, which has been the case since the 2010 World Championships, he has been the best center in the international arena since 2010, and he is stronger than Gasol, who has begun to age.

Now the Chinese team will put all the strong points together, directly put out the strongest lineup, and fight!

The Chinese team fought back quickly in the second quarter.

In the seventh minute, with Yi Jianlian's empty three-point shot, the Chinese team successfully overtook the score!

At this time, the Chinese team did not make substitutions, and the lineup of the American team became Irving, Harden, Anthony, Paul George, and Whiteside.

It was the turn of the U.S. team to attack, Irving didn't get rid of Liu Ren's defense by blocking and dismantling, the FIBA three-point line was a full meter shorter than the NBA, this reduced one meter, the space reduced in the semicircle was huge, making the rotation defense several times easier, and it was easy to crack the block, and the joint defense was too big in the international game.

Liu Ren is very good at defending Owen on the outside, Liu Ren is not shaking, has strong defensive prediction, strong physical fitness, and strong offensive defense makes Owen unable to break through.

But Owen is Owen, and he can't pass it on even if he is killed, especially when he meets Liu Ren, he passes the yarn, it's just right!

Owen didn't pass the ball against Liu Ren's defense, but shot it himself.

Didn't go in!

Li Muhao protects the defensive rebound, Li Muhao is really a very good player in the national ** line, he also participated in the draft in 2014, but that year was a draft year, he had a chance to enter the second round in 2013, but he didn't go, and he lost the draft in 2014, and he didn't accept the NBA's ten-day short contract, but went back to China to get a high salary, which is human nature.

However, Li Muhao's height of two meters and one hundred and sixteen, and his mobility is still very strong, which did make many NBA teams interested in him back then, but at that time, China's inner line was no longer popular in the NBA, if it was changed to ten years ago, Yao Ming had just entered the NBA, Li Muhao could definitely enter the lotto area, and he was no worse than Yi Jianlian in terms of talent!

The Chinese team couldn't counterattack, and the U.S. team returned to defense quickly, and Liu Ren advanced to the front court with the ball.

Liu Ren held the ball in the top arc, Guo Allen cut inside, Li Muhao blocked Harden who was chasing Guo Allen, Harden is Harden, Uchiha-style defense is not just talk, if you are blocked, you are not interested in continuing to chase in.

Liu Rengao lobed the ball to Guo Allen, and Paul George, who defended Li Muhao, immediately chased it in.

Guo Allen passed back to Li Muhao!

Li Muhao receives the ball in the middle distance! Whiteside let go of Yi Jianlian, who was outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, to make up for it.

Quickly transfer the ball, Yi Jianlian received the ball at a 45-degree angle and shot three points!

Again!

Yi Jianlian hit two three-pointers in a row, widening the difference to 5 points!

55 to 50! For the first time in history, the Chinese team leads the United States team by 5 points!

In the past, there was only one situation when the Chinese team was ahead of the American team, that is, the first goal was scored at the beginning, but then it was a big rout, with a difference of several points.

This time, the Chinese team bit the score and even widened the difference to 5 points!

Now it's time to be happy?

No!

The five players on the field of the Chinese team are now very excited! They saw hope of beating the American team!

The U.S. team wanted to play a little more and take advantage of Whiteside's unrivalled dominance on the inside.

Not to mention, Whiteside is indeed very beautiful following the footsteps of Gasol, the timing of the shot is very good, shaking Yi Jianlian to the point of completely losing the center of gravity, and the shot feels very soft, Whiteside deserves to be the best traditional center in the NBA today, and the offensive skills are amazingly good.

But there is someone who knows him too well, and Liu Ren, who has been partnered with Whiteside for three years, knows him too well and knows his basket skills well!

Liu Ren relied on Yi Jianlian's hook hand at Whiteside, and the moment the ball was about to reach the highest point, he directly took the ball from the air!

Even the cover with the grab!

It was an almost inevitable goal for Whiteside, who had to hold high on the inside, and it was extremely difficult to defend in the NBA, and almost no one could defend it in front of his huge physical advantage.

However, Liu Ren took the ball off directly in the air!

Whiteside used to watch Jordan Jr. and Drummond, the jumping center, being caught by Liu Ren, but now this situation has befallen Whiteside himself, and he finally knows what the mood of the opposing center who is usually played by himself and Liu Ren is!

Liu Ren was excited after the cap! Fast forward and run wild! There is still one meter away from the three-point line, and the emergency stop chases the three-point shot directly!

In the exclamation of the fans, the three-point shot of the chase hits!

8 points difference!

And that's not all! Ji Zhe and Allen Guo wrap Anthony! Anthony made a mistake, and Allen Guo was elbowed to his mouth by Anthony and spurted blood directly! But Guo Allen ignored the pain, picked up the ball, and threw the ball into the basket before the referee blew the whistle to stop the game!

Ten points difference!

At this time, there was blood, it was the United States that had the ball, and the referee directly called a timeout for the United States!

The scene is boiling!

The Chinese team was bloodstained to stretch the difference to 10 points!

"This is definitely the best game played in the history of Chinese basketball, and even the most exciting game in the history of Olympic basketball, there is no one!" The guest commentator of the imperial court, the former leader of the Chinese team, Zhang Weiping and Director Zhang said excitedly.

What they want to see most now is that the Chinese team can play better and better, and they have great expectations for the Chinese team this year, but they didn't expect the Chinese team and the American team to play to this point!

The proud Americans actually don't look down on the Chinese team at all, even if the Chinese team has Liu Ren, they think they have an absolute advantage.

Of course this is true, but! The Chinese team is fighting with blood! stunned to lead the U.S. team by 10 points at halftime!

Giannakis on the sidelines looked at Liu Ren, who played almost the whole quarter, but did not show too much fatigue, and Yi Jianlian, who was already out of breath, and was very shocked, this is the strength of the top players in the NBA?

Seeing Yi Jianlian, who was already sweating profusely, Giannakis was ready to replace him, but he didn't know who to replace, none of the remaining centers of the Chinese team could be compared with Yi Jianlian, Li Muhao and Wang Zhelin were not as good as Yi Jianlian, far from being comparable, although Li Muhao may not be as talented as Yi Jianlian, but he had not played in the NBA, and staying in China allowed him to get more money, but it also lacked the kind of progress after competing with the world's top players.

"Boss, who do you think we should replace Yi?" Giannakis feels that Liu Ren has more experience in dealing with this group of NBA superstars than him, after all, Liu Ren has to play nearly 100 games a year with them, and Giannakis has played less than 10 games with a team of NBA players in his life.

Liu Ren did not shirk and played against American players, and to be honest, he was more experienced than Giannakis.

Ji Zhe is the one who surprised Liu Ren the most, that kind of stalking defense annoyed Anthony, but he didn't show fatigue, his physical strength was really good, he was worthy of training with Marbury, he was a little thinner, and he was hit by James and Paul George very quickly bruised, but he was stunned, and the pain made him more bloody!

This is the blood that Chinese players have not had since Yao Ming retired, and today he is finally back!

"With Zhou Qi on it, we can now maintain the lead and strengthen the defense, and Zhou Qi's height and blocking sense can accomplish that."

Liu Ren's impression of Zhou Qi is his block, a height of two meters and a height of two meters and three zeros, as well as an excellent sense of smell for blocking, Zhou Qi showed these abilities very well in training, and can be looked upon by the NBA team, Zhou Qi is relying on his excellent figure and flexible steps, such a big man and such excellent steps, if he is not too thin, it is possible that a team will choose him at the beginning of the second round or at the end of the first round, but he is too thin.

After the bloodstains were cleared, the referee's whistle sounded and the game resumed.

Guo Allen can't do anything else, his organizational ability can't compare to Liu Wei, and his defensive ability can't compare to Sun Yue, but he just plays hard! The CBA Finals defense against Marbury is really good, it may be that he accumulated confidence at that time, and he came to the international arena to face the opponent, and continued to play after cleaning up with blood!

The U.S. team made another substitution, and the lineup just now was beaten by the Chinese team with a wave of 8-0, and they also began to get serious.

The U.S. team is really full of talent, and they replaced another lineup, Westbrook, LaVine, James, Whiteside, Cousins, and the U.S. team replaced their strongest defensive lineup, this lineup is to restrain the Chinese team's inside line, and the outside line is replaced by the most excited trio, in order to get rid of the Chinese team's outside defense.

Coach K didn't expect to be forced to this point by the Chinese team, and he didn't even think that the international front, which has been fully aging this year, would have countries that could force them like this, even Spain is unlikely, but the Chinese team did it!

This made Coach K feel a little mistaken for not choosing a defender with excellent defense, but fortunately, there is also a LaVine, who originally came to play soy sauce, showing the potential of a superstar, to play a soy sauce gilded, just like D'Anthony Davis back then, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

As for Kobe Bryant...... It is estimated that when it is not time to shoot three points, he will not play.
