As the referee's whistle blew, Yao Ming and Howard jumped up at the same time.

Then, the difference between the two in terms of bounce was instantly revealed. Like a rising rocket, Howard went straight past Yao Ming, who was much taller than him, and rushed the basketball to the back.

Paul took the basketball and handed it to James.

James received the ball and immediately rushed to the backcourt of the Chinese team like a tank.

Seeing this, Zhu Fangyu stepped forward and wanted to block James, but was directly knocked away. James rushed inside with momentum and then scored with a powerful one-handed dunk.

"James has too much impact, don't try to defend him alone." Wang Meng said a word to Zhu Fangyu, and then went to receive the serve.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Meng was not ready to attack by himself, and the Chinese team also had a big killer, Yao Ming.

When Yao Ming played in the NBA, whenever he met Howard, he would always be very happy, because Howard was his favorite type of player.

Howard is characterized by terrifying upper body strength, and the main means of defense is to rely on bouncing blocks. These characteristics are very weak in Yao Ming. Howard's upper body strength is terrifying, but the lower body strength is much worse, and Yao Ming is a player with strong lower body strength, and when he is beaten in the low post, Howard can't withstand Yao Ming's back push at all. In addition, Yao Ming's height makes every time Howard's defense has to jump to interfere, so Yao Ming always seems to be at ease and relaxed when facing Howard.

Wang Meng dropped the ball to Yao Ming on the inside, and Yao Ming raised his big ass against Howard.

Howard was a little entangled, he hadn't confronted Yao Ming for almost two years, and suddenly encountered this familiar big ass, and Howard was even a little overwhelmed for a while.

Yao Ming only relied on Howard to squeeze two steps, and he was already under the basket, without even feints, Yao Ming was just a small hook hand with his back to the basket, and he sent the basketball into the basket when Howard was caught off guard.

"Well done! That's it, give the ball to Yao Ming and let Yao Ming play, so that it is reasonable to play!" Zhang Weiping didn't know when he had returned to the super state of Zhang Reasonably, and said energetically.

This time, even Yu Jia also agreed with Zhang Weiping's highlights: "I don't know how Wang Meng will play in the face of Paul, so now it seems that the only advantage of the Chinese team in the face of the United States team may be in the center Yao Ming, Yao Ming has met Howard many times in his career, and he has this big advantage when facing Howard." I think Deng Huade if he is smart enough, he will let Yao Ming be in charge of the main attack in the first quarter, and let Yao Ming maximize his combat effectiveness when he is full of physical strength. ”

In fact, he did the same, and he didn't even need Deng Huade to speak, when he saw that Yao Ming singled Howard and the effect was good, Wang Meng simply made a ball for Yao Ming every time and let Yao Ming single Howard.

Within a few minutes, Howard was so depressed that he was about to cry.

The starting team of the U.S. team, except for Howard, played very easily, very easily.

First of all, as a point guard, Paul, although in the face of the Chinese team's strongest point Wang Meng's defense, but Paul is only a point guard, plus now there are so many big names on the court, Paul can be said to play how he wants, happy to organize his own offense, by the way to shoot one or two three-pointers, unhappy, directly hand the ball to Kobe James and these people, let them organize the offense, and in the face of Wang Meng's marking, Paul directly handed over the ball to others, Paul is not Westbrook, nor Rose, is 26 years old, although he is not too old, but he has already passed the time of competition.

In addition to Paul, the other three James Durant Kobe Bryant are all offensive maniacs, and their offensive ability is almost incomprehensible, even in the NBA, they need two people to defend the three-person team to limit the players, and when facing the defense of the Chinese team, these three people seem to be strolling in the back garden, turning in two circles, and then turning out in two circles.

In this regard, Wang Meng has no way, but a Paul running around has made him anxious, and he can take care of the other three people, and the other players of the Chinese team, eh, not to mention, joint defense and joint defense are not good, and there is almost no way to limit the attack of the American team.

In the first quarter, both sides hit very good shots, so the game passed very quickly, and the Chinese team trailed the United States by 6 points at 24:30 at the end.

Yao Ming singled Howard many times in the first quarter, and played the active league's No. 1 center with no temper, Yao Ming scored 12 points on Howard's head in the first quarter, while Howard only scored 3 points, and one of the free throws was missed. It is worth mentioning that Howard held his breath and also covered Yao Ming's shot twice in the first quarter, but in general he was blown up by Yao Ming.

Except for Yao Ming and Howard, in the confrontation of other players, the Chinese team can be said to have no ability to resist.

The highest scorer of the American team is Durant, he scored 10 points in the first quarter, and all from shooting, Yi Jianlian looked very uncomfortable facing Durant at the power forward position, Durant's speed is much faster than Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian can't keep up with Durant's running position at all. In addition to Durant, James also scored 6 points, Kobe Bryant didn't shoot much, so the score was not high, only 2 points were scored, and Wade, who came off the bench later, scored 4 points.

When the players got off the field, Deng Huade took the tactical board and suddenly made two gestures, but was stunned to find that he had nothing to say. When facing the American team, the Chinese team was like a baby, and could only rely on Yao Ming and Wang Meng to support them. This is too different from the semi-finals of the Chinese team and Spain, the gap between the two sides is too big, and even the tactics are useless.

Deng Huade has already arranged the Chinese team's defense against the United States, and when facing James and Kobe Bryant, Deng Huade asked the Chinese players to defend them at the expense of two or even three people, but it is too difficult to implement the tactics. James's start speed was faster than Deng Ward's expectations, not to mention the three-person package, when James started, even the two-person package would not have time to form and let James break into the inside.

When there is too much difference in strength, even if it is a bag, it may not be able to limit the opponent.

Deng Huade originally thought that since the Chinese team could defeat Spain, then it would definitely be able to compete with the United States team, but Spain and the Chinese team are different after all, Spain has a golden combination of big and small Gasol, and the defense efficiency is very high, but the Chinese team is different, although the Chinese team has Yao Ming on the inside, but it turns out that the slow-moving Yao Ming's ability to assist in defense is far inferior to the Gasol brothers. Now in the first quarter, although relying on Yao Ming's offensive firepower made the score gap between the two sides not too far behind, but Yao Ming's physical strength is not enough to make him on the court longer, when Yao Ming is not on the court, with Wang Meng alone, how can he compete with the American team?

"I don't have to fight!" Deng Huade sighed in his heart, and the little championship that was faintly emerging at the beginning was gone. "The difference in strength between the two sides is too big."

Seeing that Deng Huade did not speak, Wang Meng's heart sank, and he had already guessed Deng Huade's inner activities, and it was obvious that just the first quarter of the game had made the American lose confidence.

"Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi and I will play in a while." Now that Deng Huade has given up, Wang Meng said directly: "Since we can't restrain the other party in defense, then let's attack them!" Run as hard as you can, and if you run out of space, I'll be the first to get the ball! ”

The surrounding players were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, why the head coach hadn't spoken yet, Wang Meng arranged his tactics by himself, was this challenging the authority of the head coach? On the field of the Olympic final?

Deng Huade looked up at Wang Meng, opened his mouth and finally spit out, "Just do what Wang Meng said." ”

"Run! Run for me! On the court in the second quarter, the ball of the Chinese team, Wang Meng received the ball and ran non-stop, and yelled at the same time.

Westbrook, who was the backup point guard, immediately greeted him, and he looked at Wang Meng with a serious face.

Compared with Kobe James and others, Westbrook and Wang Meng have not had such a good relationship, not to mention other grievances, in the previous playoff game, Wang Meng and Westbrook collided, resulting in Westbrook's leg injury and missing all the playoff schedule, although the Thunder eliminated the Hornets who also did not have Wang Meng, but they were eliminated by the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, if Westbrook could play at that time, the Thunder would not necessarily lose to the Lakers, so Westbrook was very unhappy to see Wang Meng.

Wang Meng didn't bother to pay attention to Westbrook's expression at the moment, he had already paid all his attention to his running teammates.

"No chance! Damn it! In fact, the players of the Chinese team did not run without the ball, and the movement speed is really not flattering, these big names of the American team are all masters of single defense, and they can easily keep up with their speed, and even the off-ball cover block does not have a particularly good shooting opportunity.

"I can only come by myself!" Wang Meng said secretly in his heart, and at the same time withdrew his gaze and placed it on Westbrook in front of him.

"Huh? It's you! Seeing Westbrook, Wang Meng was quite surprised, "I thought it was Paul, I said how I feel that Paul is a little taller." ”

"Rub! Ignored? Westbrook was furious, his eyes seemed to be able to breathe flames, he stared at Wang Meng fiercely, and the anger in his heart had risen to a critical point!
