Chapter 228: Fighting for the opening advantage
Applause! Cheer like a wave!
At the beginning, the Chinese team was beaten by the United States with an 8-2 shock wave, which is naturally not good for the fans.
But at this time, Zhong Yu was powerful!
His first ball, with lightning speed, like a scalpel, accurately tore the inside line, and then found a gap to slam the dunk directly!
The sequence of moves is handsome and extraordinary, and the results are great.
At least after this slam dunk, the players of the American team were more or less shocked.
The morale of the Chinese team has risen a little bit.
"Good fight." Yao Ming smiled beside him, and Zhong Yu went up to high-five him, and at the moment of high-five, the sound of the surrounding cameras pressing the shutter sounded frequently.
Many reporters feel that this may be a scene of historical surnames, and it is worth recording!
Zhong Yu himself also knew that when he just followed that ball, he largely relied on the help of everyone's blocking and dismantling to get into the inside slam dunk...... The U.S. team is not the same team, and it is exponentially more difficult to break through their defensive slam dunks.
The U.S. team went on the offensive.
This time, the ball was handed over to Anthony on the inside, and Anthony was going to step back and shoot a jumper, but the basketball was interfered with by Yi Jianlian's best efforts, so the basketball flew off a bit.
The Chinese team's current defense, in the face of a behemoth like the American Dream Team, is more about choosing people to mark people, and trying to avoid the players they defend receiving passes.
When your defending player receives the ball, focus on preventing them from breaking through and coordinating after the break.
This ball, Yi Jianlian defended well.
Zhong Yu just rushed inside and snatched the rebound.
However, this time he didn't pass the ball, but waited for everyone to pass and then possessed the ball through the half. Seriously speaking, Zhong Yu's ball control level is not low, after all, the Chinese players' ball control and three-point shooting are basically a little level.
At this moment, the U.S. team has completed its defense, and their defense is more inclined to the outside. They need to be ready to launch a fast break at all times.
Seeing such a defense, Zhong Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, suddenly controlled the ball, and rushed straight towards the half of the American team!
"He's going to break through!" Many players on the U.S. team judge it this way.
As a result, the U.S. team began to shrink its defense, and Zhong Yu's breakthrough was not only reflected in the score, but also his ability to bring momentum to his teammates.
Seeing the U.S. team shrink its defense, Zhong Yu still crashed into the inside, and then, waiting for Kobe Bryant to follow in, Zhong Yu suddenly took a step back and withdrew outside the three-point line.
Then, Zhong Yu kicked his legs!
Immediately it was a step-back jumper from beyond the three-point line.
"Huh!" Zhong Yu hits a jumper!
The score of the two teams became 8-7, and Zhong Yu scored 5 points in a row, helping the Chinese team stabilize its position at once.
"Good ball, good ball!"
"Team China! Come on! Zhong Yu! Come on! All sorts of cheers erupted again.
"After all, it is the hope of the Chinese national team, which is known as this year, and Zhong Yu's performance is really unambiguous."
It seems to be back in the playoffs, back to Zhong Yu's omnipotent words, Kobe Bryant smiled bitterly and shook his head, this Zhong Yu is really not worry-free.
However, the lineup of the American team, after all, still occupies a huge advantage.
After Zhong Yu's five points in a row, their defense was tighter, and their offense was more offensive and aggressive.
Next, James hit a three-pointer from the outside, the Chinese team lost the offense, and the ball returned to the United States, and Kidd assisted Anthony on a jumper.
The score became 13-7, and the Chinese team once again became six points behind.
After all, the U.S. team has its own strong side, and their offense is quite good, whether it is offensive or defensive, they can find their place.
At this time, the Chinese team began to fight back.
Liu Wei passed the basketball to Zhong Yu.
Thousands of eyes stared at Zhong Yu again, looking at him and the basketball in his hand.
Zhong Yu was still facing Kobe, Zhong Yu came to a left and right, and instantly passed by Kobe's side, and then, the inside line of the American team began to stare at Zhong Yu's direction as if nothing, wanting to judge his next move.
In this way, Zhong Yu suddenly stopped in the first area of his own. Then he took off into the air, and Anthony, who was on the inside, flew directly at Zhong Yu!
He wanted to take Jongwook's shot down to the cap.
It's just that he miscalculated! Zhong Yu did it on purpose, and the moment Anthony jumped up in front of Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu's hands lowered, the basketball bounced on the ground, and then bounced into Yi Jian's team on the inside.
Howard planned to go over to make up for the defense, but he was afraid that Yi Jianlian would pass the ball to Yao Ming, and in a dilemma, he had to stop where he was.
It's just that a little time is enough, Yi Jianlian jumped high and hit a slam dunk with both hands!
"Roar!" In the audience, the sound fell into a boil again!
Yi Jianlian hit a slam dunk at this time, and the momentum of the Chinese team came back in an instant. Yi Jianlian himself also felt his eyebrows raised, and roared fiercely.
Although this ball was not completed by him alone from beginning to end, it was also a slam dunk anyway, as long as it was a slam dunk, it made him suddenly brightened.
The draught did not forget to dig the well, Yi Jianlian stretched out his right hand and shouted loudly: "Ayu, spread beautifully!" ”
"Smack!" Two hands bumped together!
After Yi Jianlian's dunk and the transformation of several balls, the American team did not score, and Zhu Fangyu of the Chinese team also hit a jumper after breaking through!
In front of the American team, although the Chinese team did not really suppress the American team like some fantasy people, it was not as pessimistic people thought, and the Chinese team did not have the slightest say in front of the American team.
The Chinese team, with one knife and one gun, stood firm in front of the American team!
With two minutes left, Yao Ming was on the inside, intending to use his own footsteps to continue to climb the river and the sea, when the American team came over to wrap him up.
Yao Ming immediately made a decision and immediately passed the basketball out to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu was outside the three-point line, almost did not aim, he controlled the ball, moved a step sideways, and then directly raised his hand to jump!
Outside the three-point line of this kind of international competition, NBA players can be said to be like fish in water.
The same goes for Zhong Yu.
"Huh!" Three-point hit.
The score was now 24-21, and Jongwook's three-pointer chased the score to the point where there were only three points left, and the U.S. called a timeout.
"Zhong Yu, you played well." Younas said: "You still need to play later, attack against attack, don't let the opponent have too many chances. ”
Younas rarely praises people, this old man is very proud in his heart, but today he really looks at Zhong Yu differently.
So far, Zhong Yu has scored a total of 10 points, 1 assist and 2 rebounds, which is very good!
It can even kill the players of the Dream Team in seconds.
The timeout came back and the ball was in the hands of the U.S. team. The U.S. team is now in a big lineup, in terms of scoring guard, Wade replaced Kobe, the small forward is still James, the big forward has become Bosh, and the center Brand is up.
Such a lineup is extremely brilliant!
After all, they are a dream team, and they are not worried about not having good players, they are worried that the playing time of these good players is not completely guaranteed.
Jongwook smiled at Paul, and the two of them said hello to this encounter.
In addition to the intra-team competition, Zhong Yu and Paul stood on the same court as opponents for the first time. Although they are teammates, there is always a little bit of competition in the hearts of the two people.
Wade glanced at Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu and he also know him now, Wade has enough interest in Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu, who exploded some time ago.
The ball was back in the hands of the U.S. team.
James forced his way into the box, and on the last step, he didn't dare to walk, so that he was completely exposed to Yao Ming's block. So he could only hold on to the ball and then take a look at the situation on the court, this guy has a lot of vision, he passes the ball accurately - in short, he is born for basketball.
As soon as James observed this, he felt that his good friend Wade was cutting inside from outside the three-point line, so James played a trick and threw the basketball in Wade's direction.
"Smack!" The imaginary Wade received a pass and quickly hit the inside slam dunk did not appear, and the basketball was suddenly turned around by the big hand that jumped out in mid-air. Wade and James came back to their senses and found that Jongwook had already controlled the ball and raced towards the halfcourt, and his speed was not too slow.
Paul and James immediately chased after him, especially James, he thought, a player like Zhong Yu, the fast break can often give him a block data! Why not? James chased after Zhong Yu in a few steps, but Zhong Yu had already understood his intentions and waited for James to jump up...... Then, James flew past Zhong Yu, Paul came up, and Zhong Yu threw the basketball high behind him!
"Whew!" Sun Yue glided in the sky like a roaring roc, and Zhong Yu's pass allowed him to smash the ball into the basket without pressure!
"Good shot!" Sun Yue hurriedly looked for Zhong Yu to high-five, this ball was very important to him. Now Sun Yue has joined the U.S. team, but he is in name only, and he needs to put on a show at the Olympics to get the media in Los Angeles to look at him.
James and Paul were a little frustrated, and Zhong Yu and Sun Yue's aerial relay made the whole stadium resound with their harsh "Come on, Chinese team".
The score became 24-23, and after Zhong Yu's steal + assist, the Chinese team chased the score to the point where there was only one point left.
Wade himself was a little angry, and Zhong Yu cut off his pass to his good friend, which made him angry.
He waited patiently for two balls before Paul passed it to him.
Wade just received the pass, and instantly without reservation, he directly opened the firepower, and after a dispensable change of direction, his first step was driven to the maximum!
Cut in like lightning!
Wade, the Flash, has energy that should not be underestimated.
Before Zhong Yu could react, Wade went straight inside and smashed the basketball into the basket.
Zhong Yu felt uncomfortable in his heart, this Wade didn't seem to be a character to mess with...... But he wasn't scared.
