Chapter 912: A General, Dragon Team

After the opening game, the Dream Team's five starters fired one after another, and quickly took an 11-5 lead.

After that, Nelson Jr. quickly called a timeout, and he arranged for Yao Ming to sit on the inside to start a 1-4 joint defense, but there is a flaw in this defensive lineup, that is, it is difficult to prevent breakouts and shoots.

Little Nelson can't help it, if you don't use joint defense, then the dream team can not only burst but also shoot.

Sure enough, this defensive tactic was very flawed, and Durant found an opportunity at the first time, and after a timeout, he made a quick run and hit two jumpers in a row to give the U.S. team an eight-point lead at 15-7.

The pressure is all on Liu Wei and Sun Yue, the two of them are now rats in the bellows, they can't open the situation if they don't attack hard, and there are repeated loopholes in the defense.

When Liu Wei was moving forward with the ball, the Chinese fans at the scene once shouted the slogan 'Please send the cannonballs to the front line'.

Liu Wei didn't care about his face, he struggled forward with the ball and finally sent the ball to Chamberlain in the three-point line, as a result, Chamberlain got the ball and rushed forward sharply, like an angry dragon, smashing into the inside line and turning over the clouds and rain, and winning the dunk!

The inside line arranged by Lao K couldn't prevent Chamberlain and Yao Ming, and now he only focuses on offense, and defense comes first.

This arrangement is very correct, although basketball has the saying that defense wins championships, but how can you win without scoring goals? And if you can score in every round, what if you can't defend?

Rose's breakthrough caused Liu Wei to foul and hit two free throws. Liu Wei also gritted his teeth to fight, he and Sun Yue poured the ball and rushed to the front court again, Chamberlain came up to answer, and threw the ball to Yao Ming on the inside, so that Odom and Lefu went to wrap up.

Chamberlain strode forward and rushed into the inside line with lightning speed, Yao Ming passed the ball back to him, he stepped on the top of the arc of the penalty area, and flew up with a 'bang', riding Odom to a violent dunk.

Odom subconsciously waved his hand and ate a foul.

After that, Yi Jianlian also found some feelings, Chamberlain and Yao Ming attracted the bag and passed the ball to him randomly, and he actually hit two 3-pointers in a row.

Old K called a timeout, but he actually replaced Odom with Guy and Curry for Iguodala, which means that the Dream Team is now a pure run-and-gun team.

After the Dream Team returned, they raised the pace of the game to a terrible Cheng Dù, they attacked four times in a row to contain the time to 12 seconds, Yao Ming was almost following the practice switchback run, every time he ran past half the court, the Dream Team attacked to the end.

But the Chinese team, which firmly implements the positional battle, has also achieved very good results on the offensive end, Yao Ming first turned around and hit a jump shot, and then scored with a hook hand under the basket, and after the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team bit the score 25-29 and followed hard.

The Chinese team didn't lose much, but after watching the game, you can find that the initiative on the spot is completely in the hands of the dream team, and the rhythm has been raised very quickly.

The Dragon Team was able to catch up to the current Cheng Dù, it is still the credit of Chamberlain and Yao Ming, the whole team scored 25 points, and the two of them jointly contributed 19 points, in addition to Yi Jianlian's 6 points, no one scored on the guard line at all.

Seeing the scene, Chinese fans have to admit that the Dream Team is indeed the world's first-rate team, even if they only send ordinary NBA stars, and super-first-class stars have not yet come!

But now this dream team is no worse than the Dream Eight team, which gathered countless big names during the Beijing Olympics, and this team is more united than before, with a core, focus, tactics and strategy.

The first thing that this dream team can get on the right track is of course the team building model of the big butler Colangelo, and as early as 2008, most of these players were already opponents of the Dream Eight team.

They have accumulated valuable experience as sparring partners for James and Anthony in team training, and although many of them were not able to participate in the Beijing Olympics with the team at that time, the friendship of being teammates of the national team and the glory of being a player of the dream team have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

You know, at the beginning of the World Championships, Ross said that even if they were caddies, they would come to Turkey, so with this positive attitude, why worry that they can't achieve good results in the international arena?

Of course, the success of the Dream Nine team is not only Colangelo a behind-the-scenes hero, as the head coach of this team, K Shuai also showed his magical side, in the final against the Chinese men's basketball team, K Shuai boldly discharged a strange lineup without a center and an average height of only 1.96 meters.

And this seemingly nonsense style of play caught the well-prepared Chinese men's basketball team off guard, and there was no way to deal with it.

Not to mention that as an experienced college coach, K Shuai always has a natural ability to pinch young players together, and he has brought everyone on the Dream Nine team together around the young leader Durant, avoiding the biggest trouble of the Dream Team in the past: team strife.

Lao K's biggest change to the Dream Nine team is to unite this group of young players mentally, and tactically, it is based on defense, making the Dream Nine team a nightmare for all opponents.

Because there is no super big man on the inside except for Oden, the Dream Nine team relies on sufficient personnel rotation to always maintain a pressing defense on the outside, as long as the opponent makes a mistake, several guards on the outside will use their wind-like speed to kill the local basket and score easily.

Of course, this style of play is not as flashy as the all-attacking era dream team, but what can be exchanged for a defensive foothold may be a heavy gold medal at the World Championships.

And more intuitively, of course, the players who played well in the team, the young Kevin Durant hit 7 three-pointers on the night of the semifinals to set a record for the Dream Team, and the 38 points in the quarterfinals, 17 points in a single quarter are also fresh in people's memories.

In the NBA, Durant was hailed as the ruler of the small forward position for the next 10 years, and on the international stage, his edge showed no signs of fading.

Time and time again, Durant used his spider-like long arms and weird coordination to get to the basket, and time and time again, he hit back-to-back three-pointers from the outside, ignoring defense.

There is no doubt that Durant is the best player in this year's Dream Team.

What is somewhat surprising is that Odom is also very threatening, since the beginning of this World Championships, Odom, who is only 2.08 meters tall, has been the starting center of the Dream Nine team, and his limited height function during the group stage is not satisfactory.

However, after entering the knockout round, Odom seemed to have woken up from a big dream and played masterpieces one after another, grabbing 12 rebounds against the Russian men's basketball team, and winning two double-doubles in the quarterfinals and semifinals.

I don't know if Chamberlain should be happy, his most important opponent Oden has not had many opportunities to play in the World Championships.

If Odom on the inside is getting better as the game progresses, then Westbrook and Rose on the outside are always the two biggest surprises on the Dream Nine team.

Westbrook's teammates in Durant, needless to say, the tacit understanding between the two of them goes without saying, as far as he is concerned, it seems to be common for him to stage two or three fast-break dunks in a game, while Rose uses his sharp outside offense to tear apart the opponent's defense again and again.

It can be said that these two little men who are only 1.91 meters are the source of passion for the Dream Nine team, and as long as they are there, the Dream Nine team will never lack blood.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Dream Team's possession, Westbrook broke through with the ball, and Chamberlain was too familiar with this guy who was always energetic, so he carefully let go of the penalty area.

Sure enough, Westbrook rushed all the way to the basket with the ball, and it was only then that Chamberlain closed the door and hit the dog, and when he got up, he pressed the ball down for him.

After blocking, Chamberlain passed the ball to Guo Allen, compared to Liu Wei, Guo Allen's ball control is not stable enough, and his passing vision and organizational ability are even worse, but he has a strong point, that is, he is fast and more skillful in ball control.

Sun Yue covered Guo Allen all the way, the Chinese team dribbled to the frontcourt, Chamberlain turned around to the basket, and waved his hand to get the ball from Guo Allen.

With the ball in his hand, Chamberlain began to show his deterrent power under the basket, no one could prevent him at all, there was only one Lefu inside, Chamberlain hit him as simple as eating, hit it hard, and then immediately turned around, played Lefu with delicate footsteps, and sent the ball into the hoop.

But the Dream Team's long-range shooting was really fierce, Durant and Curry hit 3-pointers one after another, and the American team suddenly opened up the score gap.

At the critical moment, Chamberlain and Yao Ming dominated the penalty area, one left and one right, after the ball was thrown into the penalty area, the two of them made a feint, chasing 4 points in a row and biting the score again.

Guy's play was not very effective, he couldn't defend the inside, so the old K had to replace Odom on the court.

In this World Championships, Lao K is very interested in Odom, but he doesn't look down on Oden, who is stronger on the inside.

Of course, this is understandable, firstly, because Odom is a general, and this dream team is too young and needs a veteran to press on the field; The second reason is that Odom is better suited to fast break and running shots, while Oden's combination with Nash last season proved that he is not suitable for such a tactic.

However, when it came to the final, this arrangement went wrong.

Although Lao K is powerful, he is an NCAA coach after all, and he doesn't know enough about many things in the NBA.

Odom has a problem, that is, he is suitable for habitual impotence in the face of Chamberlain, and Oden, who rises every time he meets Chamberlain, and the contrast between the two is huge.

Except for the opening slippery bottom line to cut a ball on Yao Ming's head, after which Odom's watch was very bland, Chamberlain took the overall situation, Durant distributed the ball to Odom, he pounced directly, like a goshawk fighting in the sky, and slapped the ball down.

After the block, Allen Guo ran forward with the ball, but Westbrook grabbed his change of hands and reached out to steal the ball.

Chamberlain took a step to buy it and leaned down to grab the ball, and then his shoulder shook suddenly to change direction, after passing Westbrook, he strode into the three-point line, the dream team was unguarded, at this moment Chamberlain turned into Zhao Zilong outside the Nagasaka slope, like entering no man's land, seven in and seven out, and the dream team who killed turned on his back!

After the dunk, Chamberlain again asked for the ball on the offensive end, he hit Odom with his back, pushed two steps inside, and then suddenly turned and jumped.

Odom jumped up to block, only for Chamberlain to hit him hard before jumping, and the referee's whistle blew, but the ball also fell into the hoop.

2+1!

Chamberlain shook his fist fiercely, with a proud smile on his face, seeing his cruel smile, Curry and West also laughed, Iguodala on the bench asked West why he was laughing, and the mad dog shrugged and said: "You can watch the show, Z This is the laugh of death!" ”

Guy was very dissatisfied, and turned back and said, "Hey, Delonti, which team are you from?" ”

West glanced at him, and said with a golden knife: "Lao Tzu ****** the Warriors' guard, you don't even know this?" Did you not take your medicine before today's game or were you ****** brain-dead? If you are brain-dead, then you stay away from me, damn, it is said that brain-dead is an infectious disease, or a terminal disease of the century! ”

Old K was upset, what a fucking mistake, he really shouldn't have listened to persuasion at the beginning, and he was stunned to bring West to play the World Championships.

This is also a problem for the NCAA coach, which is that he may know about the skills of NBA players, but he does not know much about their personality and character.

After Chamberlain opened it, Yao Ming's position was even liberated, and the dream team had to send someone to trap Chamberlain, so that Yao Ming could even run out of the vacant seat, which was simply looking for death!

The Dragons' outside line now takes on the logistical load, they just need to dribble past half court, and leave the rest to Chamberlain and Yao Ming.

Inside the inner line, the two guns roared again and again, and Chamberlain moved out after fighting in the penalty area for a while, so that the two guns, one inside and one outside, were erected, and the penalty area of the dream team was bombed miserably.
