Chapter 439: Tough Defense
readx;
Offense can win fans, and defense can win championships, this iron law is not only applicable in the NBA, but also in the international arena, now the Chinese team and the United States team are playing very carefully, these players of the American team are not as big as their predecessors, so they have been a little careful until now, and they also know that hundreds of millions of viewers across the United States are pinning their hopes on them, and the Chinese team's sense of mission will only be more than them, and it will definitely not be less than them.

So it shows that the offense on both sides is particularly calm and conservative, so that after the opening of the second quarter, the Chinese team and the United States team played a particularly dull game, except after the opening, Westbrook made a layup and hit Yi Jianlian a 2+1, Rudy Gay made a jumper, and then the two sides began not to score, the American team has maintained a 27-22 lead, and the mobile offense on both sides seems to be suddenly all dumb, no matter who can't get in, can only rely on Zhang Kong and Durant to make fouls on the inside to slowly increase the score, but the world knows that Zhang Kong's foul making level is far worse than Durant.
5 minutes and 25 seconds before the end of the half, Durant finally opened the paste in the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer, the United States team led the Chinese team 31-24 to seven points, seven points is not a good sign, there are three kinds of scoring in the basketball game is more dangerous, one is one point, losing one point is also losing, losing 10,000 points is also losing, which means this.
The second score is four points, and four points means that a ball cannot be solved, which is very demoralizing at a critical moment.
The third is eight points, not on the double, but eight points, seven points and eight points is a watershed, if seven points represent hope, then eight points almost yourself are standing on the edge of the cliff, and at this time Zhang Kong's three points that were not working at that time finally came back to the soul, Zhang Kong dribbled the ball over the half, in the face of Ross's defense, Ross and Zhang Kong can be said to be resentful.
The two entered the NBA at the same time, the first year belonged to Rose, and the second year belonged to Zhang Kong, since Zhang Kong's rise, Rose has been suppressed by Zhang Kong, even if he is an American, Zhang Kong's reputation in the United States is higher than him.
Chicago is very close to Indianapolis, where Zhang Kong was located, and it is precisely because of this proximity that there are many fans of Zhang Kong even in Chicago, so that Rose's resentment of Zhang Kong is now getting bigger and bigger.
Now that the two of them are reunited on the international stage, Rose naturally wants to avenge his own arrows, so he defends Zhang Kong very strictly, players like Rose are not such passionate players, he will not make too many small moves, nor will he hurt people maliciously, and he will not even yell at you, very introverted, but when he seriously defends Zhang Kong, it is really not so easy for Zhang Kong to break through, even if he breaks through, the inside line of the American team will be trapped.
Compared with Billups, Rose's defense of Zhang Kong is more in place, but unfortunately, basketball is five people, Zhang Kong needs to do very simply, move sideways and then shoot three points, as for Rose, there will be Yao Ming to help him block, since two more people have cooperated, Zhang Kong also likes such an easy shot, why break through with an easy shot? It's too much trouble.
Zhang Kong's three-point shot finally hit, bringing a wave of nets and bringing the score back to four points.
"Whew, it's three!" After Zhang Kong's three-point hit, he couldn't help but blow the tips of his fingers gently, he was now counting how many goals he had scored, because this was very important to Zhang Kong, and Zhang Kong finally scored a three-pointer.
Yi Jianlian on the other side is finished again, he defended Durant, Durant didn't pay attention to his defense at all, and directly shot three points on the outside, today Yi Jianlian's defense of Durant can be said to be completely violent by Durant.
The basketball skills and level of the two people are not on the same line at all, if Zhang Kong is only slightly better than Rose, then Durant is much stronger than Yi Jianlian, this is not black Yi Jianlian, the gap between the two is indeed a little big.
Watching Durant hit a three-point shot again, Zhang Kong is helpless now, and Durant is like an assassin.
will always give you a fatal blow when it is silent, just like now Zhang Kong has finally pulled the score back to four points.
He instantly brought the score back to seven points, and such a depressed feeling is not something that can be described in words.
But fortunately, the fifth position of the Chinese team is still extremely advantageous, and it is a block, but this time Odom converted faster, and Zhang Kong's pass was faster, when Odom came to defend himself, Zhang Kong directly used a hit to the ball to Yao Ming's hands, if other defenders used to hit the earth and Yao Ming to cooperate, they might have to be scolded, because Yao Ming couldn't bend down.
This kind of pass is sometimes good, but Yao Ming can't catch it, which is useless, but Zhang Kong's hit to the earth, whether it is Yao Ming or the fans will put up a big thumb finger, of course not rushing down, Zhang Kong's hit the earth, the rebound is extremely high, so that it not only flashes the defenders next to him, but also can bounce below Yao Ming's waist, Yao Ming is very comfortable receiving such a ball.
After receiving the ball, in the face of the misplaced Rose, is Yao Ming still polite? Shoot directly, and Ross obviously didn't want Yao Ming to shoot so comfortably, so he immediately jumped up and slapped his hand on Yao Ming's arm, causing a foul of his own and sending Yao Ming to the free throw line, he bet that Yao Ming has not fully recovered his own feel after these days of treatment, as long as he does not fully recover his shooting rate, even if he is sent to the free throw line, there is no big problem, his idea is very correct.
But unfortunately, his ideas are destined to be shattered by reality, Yao Ming's free throws and two free throws helped the Chinese team restore the score to five points, and on the defensive end, the Chinese team has also changed its previous momentum, and this time the defense is extremely tough.
Yi Jianlian, who has been bullied by Durant, has also been hit by fire this time, after all, he is always scored here, and he is not comfortable in his heart, so now Yi Jianlian is also looking at the other party, with the advantage of height, constantly waving his arms, he stopped attacking, put all his energy on defending Durant, and finally his defense had an effect.
Durant shot iron this time, and Yao Ming under the basket grabbed the basketball before Odom and took the basketball into his arms.
Then handed it to Zhang Kong, after Zhang Kong and Yao Ming cooperated, he guided the ball to Yao Ming again, Yao Ming made a layup, was fouled by Odom, Yao Ming made one of the two free throws, and the score on both sides was narrowed to four points, the Chinese team's extremely tenacious defense made the players of the American team feel very surprised, even the old K coach felt very strange, he had not played the Chinese team before.
Even if the level of the American team this time is not as good as in the past, but it will definitely not be much worse than before, the Chinese team should have collapsed at this time, but today the Chinese team is still gritting its teeth and insisting, it can't get in, and it doesn't let the American team score, the score on both sides has been maintained at a score that is still promising for the Chinese team, although the American team is playing a little conservatively.
But in the face of Zhang Kong and Yao Ming's team, they had to be conservative, and they were the ones who accidentally overturned.
At the end of the half, the U.S. team only led the Chinese team 42-38 points, and in the second quarter, both sides were almost on the defensive, the U.S. team scored 20 points, and the Chinese team only scored 18 points, 20 points in a single quarter, which was also a new low for the U.S. team in a single quarter.
After getting used to watching their 30+ performances in a single section, it was really embarrassing to see that they only scored 20 points in a single quarter.
The most lethal player on the Chinese side is Durant, who has scored 20 points plus 3 rebounds in the first half of the game, and his teammate Westbrook also scored 7 points, while on the Chinese team's side, Zhang Kong and Yao Ming's team has subcontracted 70% of all the points scored by the Chinese team, and the other players have almost put all their energy on defense, and occasionally score not much.
Zhang Kong had 16 points, 5 assists, 3 blocks and no steals in the half, Yao Ming had 10 points and 4 rebounds in the half, and now the two are the last hope of the Chinese team, and the other players are not only Deng Huade, even domestic fans will not expect them too much, because the level is there, in the Chinese team, in addition to Yao and Zhang, the only one who can impact the basket of the American team is Yi Jianlian, but today he has been beaten by Durant by 20 points in the half, and such a shameful score makes Yi Jianlian no longer ready to score, he put all his energy on defense, and this time he won't let Durant score easily.
Yi Jianlian can't count on it, let alone others, originally Yao Ming and Zhang Kong were on the court, so they didn't feel scared of the American team, but Zhang Kong could stay on the court until the end, and Yao Ming's physical strength was really not enough to support him to stay on the court for too long, and the first and second lineups of the American team were almost the same, they were all composed of the bosses of the NBA team, and the power was really amazing.
This is going to test Zhang Kong, except for Zhang Kong and Yao Ming, all the energy of everyone else is on defense, so Zhang Kong needs to use his own strength to make up for the vacancy left by Yao Ming after Yao Ming is off the field, but Zhang Kong doesn't have too many thoughts about this, he can't lose this game, losing means death, being wiped out by the system, he has no way back.
So now Zhang Kong has only one choice, and that is to fight to the death! You must not retreat, there is a cliff behind him.
