Chapter 290: A Strange Start

The referee signaled the players on both sides to enter, Chamberlain touched the soles of his shoes to wipe off the sweat of his palms and stood on the midfield jump line, Howard stood opposite him, the gap between the two can be shown at this station, Howard is shorter than Chamberlain, and the hippie smile is far less than the murderous Chamberlain.

An earth-shattering shout rang out in the arena: "Dragons, come on!" Dragons, come on!! Dragons, come on!! ”

CCTV Sports Channel sent the most powerful commentary lineup, Zhang Weiping and Xu Jicheng two veterans got together, and the guests invited Hu Weidong, the first quartile in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team and known as the Chinese Flyer, to explain the game, which shows how much CCTV attaches importance to this game.

Chamberlain and Howard jumped the ball, and the referee walked up to the two with the ball, and he took a deep breath before throwing the ball up.

When the ball took off, Chamberlain did not go to see the ball, but quickly looked at the referee's wrist, judged his strength and knees curled slightly, and then rose into the air like a dragon!

The moment Chamberlain jumped, a shocked cry sounded in the Wukesong Arena, Chinese fans can finally see with their own eyes the physical fitness of the top center in the world, they have seen Yao Ming's game, and there are a lot, but Yao Ming's body can only be said to be average among all centers in NBA history, and Chamberlain has the top physical fitness.

"Hey, look at this bounce speed, look at this bounce, look at this consciousness, this is the performance of the world's world-level center!" Zhang Weiping said in surprise, "When I played inside, I liked to watch the video of the game of Tiangou Abdul-Jabbar, even if Chamberlain was compared with Tiangou, his physical fitness was absolutely superior!" ”

Chamberlain's arm span and height surpassed Howard's, and although the two jumped almost at the same time, he touched the ball early and slapped it to Liu Wei.

The moment Liu Wei got the ball, Kidd rushed towards him all of a sudden, and the old spicy Ji Ye reached out to pull out the ball, while his body went to hit Liu Wei, who was forced to be in a hurry and hurriedly used his back to resist Kidd to protect the ball.

This is a common problem of Chinese defenders, once pressed by the opponent, it is easy to turn and turn their backs to the opponent. No way, who made their skills and physical fitness inferior to their opponents? They really can't do anything other than protect the ball like this, but then it's a big problem, you use your ass to face your opponent and teammates, so how do you pass the ball? Do you use **** to see the position of your teammates?

Therefore, once the Chinese defender encounters a tight press, it is easy to be stealed.

But this is on the territory of China, the fans chanted 'come on', the men's basketball team was like a rainbow, Liu Wei squeezed Kidd strongly, first turned his shoulders sideways to turn around, and then turned from the opposite side, and came to a feint to get rid of Kidd with the ball through the half.

Nelson Jr. looked solemn, the most tested thing in this game is the guard, the United States team has a total of four point guards to follow the game this year, Kidd, Paul, Delon and Wade, the most important thing they lack is physical strength, so they can press wantonly.

Liu Wei didn't dare to stick to the ball, maybe he would lose the ball when he would, Nelson Jr. instructed Sun Yue to go up to answer, and seeing this, Liu Wei hurriedly passed the ball.

When Sun Yue got the ball, he was opposite his teammates in the NBA, Kobe Bryant directly faced him, and smiled: "Hey, man, break through me, if you can break through me, I promise to start you next season!" ”

If he can, Sun Yue really wants to break through Kobe, he didn't have a chance with the Lakers last season, and it is said that he will be sent to the NBDL when he goes back this year, he wants to prove himself, but does he dare in the face of Kobe's defense? Kobe Bryant is a strongman on the first team of the defensive lineup!

Zhu Fangyu wanted to pass the ball and made a breakthrough feint in the face of LeBron, and then quickly passed the ball to Oxlade-Chamberlain in the penalty area.

Yao Ming did not enter the penalty area, mainly because the men's basketball team had a fast offensive rhythm, and Chamberlain landed in the penalty area faster than him, so he simply did not go in, and gave the penalty area to Chamberlain, and he was on the outside.

Seeing Chamberlain get the ball, Howard desperately pushed behind him, Chamberlain took a deep breath, he pulled the ball in his lower abdomen with one hand and then pushed Howard with his back, just about to play alone, he saw the little emperor coming up from the wing, so he passed the ball to Yao Ming outside the three-point line.

An attack, all five players touched the ball, a sigh sounded in the Wukesong Stadium, and the people who came to the scene were die-hard fans, could they not understand the ball? There is no doubt that the American defense put terrifying pressure on the Chinese team, forcing them to divert possession.

Yao Ming got the ball outside the three-point line, time was running out, he looked at Anthony who was careless in front of him, and then looked at the timing card, and after stabilizing the ball, he gritted his teeth and jumped up directly, in the shocked eyes of everyone, including the opponent Anthony, raising his hand was a three-point shot!

What's even more shocking is that just listening to a crisp sound of 'swish', the basketball went directly into the hoop, and Yao Ming actually hit a hollow three-pointer!

The stadium was suddenly full of people, and even Yao Ming himself laughed, he looked at his palm, and smiled at Anthony: "Be careful, my hands are hot today and I can grill squid!" ”

Anthony muttered, "Damn, I really don't know why the old K asked me to come up, they are twin towers, and Chandler is suitable for this kind of work." ”

Chamberlain and Yao Ming high-fived, after the Lakers served, Kidd advanced quickly, and Lao K sent a small lineup to drag down the Chinese men's basketball team with speed, but obviously he miscalculated one point, that is, the opponent played a good two-tower tactic, but Chamberlain's speed is known as a small forward, although Yao Ming followed very hard, but Chamberlain settled on the inside early, and Howard had not yet run to the restricted area.

Kidd hit Liu Wei like playing, he quickly dribbled under his crotch twice in a row, and his shoulders shook left and right to confuse Liu Wei, pulling his foot to kill inside, Liu Wei finally reacted and pursued from the side, but as soon as the two approached Kidd and hit him, he staggered and took two steps back.

Seeing this, Sun Yue was taken aback, and wanted to go up to make up for the defense, but Chamberlain knew Kidd better, so he shouted: "Look at KB!" ”

Kidd is good at all-round and calm control, his scoring ability is even worse than his rebounding level, in fact, his rebounding level is very high, in the 2006-07 season, Kidd's average rebounding per game was an incredible 8. 2, you must know that Yao Ming's rebounds that season were 9. 6, and in the playoffs, Kidd played 17 games and averaged 10 rebounds per game. 9 pcs!

In addition to scoring, Kidd is super strong in everything else, otherwise he would be so old and brought to Beijing by Lao K. Sun Yue just left Kobe Bryant a little bit, and Kidd seized the opportunity and easily sent the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant got the ball to complete the start, Sun Yue wanted to return to the defense too late, the black mamba went all the way into the penalty area, Chamberlain and Yao Ming were fierce left and right, Kobe Bryant came to test their interior defensive strength, but he entered the penalty area and did not wait to shoot, Chamberlain shrouded him, Kobe barely shot, the ball bounced out, Chamberlain turned around after landing, and grabbed the rebound above Yao Ming's head.

Yao Ming's rebounding level has never been a strong point, and Nelson Jr.'s requirement for him is to leave his physical strength on the offensive end, so he is also happy to let Chamberlain grab rebounds.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "This Chamberlain's rebounding ability, that's really good, he predicts it well, the bounce is also high, the bounce speed is fast, coupled with that tall arm span and terrifying card ability, it is said that he is the first in the world in rebounding ability, I'm afraid no one will object." ”

The Chinese men's basketball team's offense still couldn't be opened, Liu Wei and Sun Yue teamed up to dribble the ball and stumbled through the half, but in this way, I didn't worry about dragging Yao Ming down, because Yao Ming was earlier than Liu Wei and Sun Yue in the half, and the ball didn't reach the three-point line until Yao Ming settled in the penalty area.

Chamberlain saw that Liu Wei was struggling with the ball, and saw that Yao Ming was already in the penalty area, so he didn't go in to join in the fun, but covered Liu Wei in a high position.

With Chamberlain's cover, Liu Wei finally got rid of Kidd's pursuit, and the latter wanted to bypass Chamberlain to chase, but Chamberlain unceremoniously came to an elbow and almost overturned Kidd, which stopped his intention to follow.

Sending Liu Wei away, Chamberlain subconsciously wanted to follow, this is a classic blocking and dismantling tactic, he often fights like this with Billups and West, but Liu Wei is not Billups nor West, he only has Yao Ming in his eyes, and after the breakthrough, he attracted Howard's attention, and then immediately passed the ball to Yao Ming.

The Dream Team's ability to assist and supplement defense is very strong, because they are very good at athleticism, Yao Ming got the ball, LeBron James quickly rushed up, and Chamberlain saw that there was nothing wrong with him inside, so he went out of the three-point line first, trying to help Yao Ming open up space.

Yao Ming faced Howard and James' front and back wraps, helplessly raised his arms to protect the ball, and passed the ball to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain was on the top arc of the three-point line at this time, the ball flew over, after he received it Anthony was still two steps away from him, without hesitation, he aimed at the hoop, his knees bent slightly, his feet stepped on the floor and jumped high, his right hand held the ball and his arm was naturally bent, while his left hand held the ball from the wing, and with a soft shake of his wrist, he projected the ball out.

"Huh!" There was another crunch, and the basketball was in the hoop again!

The Chinese fans were almost shouting with joy, and a fan in the front row shouted in English: "Dream Eight guys, God is coming to China today, they have abandoned you!" ”

Kobe Bryant and others shook their heads depressedly, and Lao K thought about it, so he directly called a timeout and fell behind 6-0, which may be the worst start for the Dream Team on the international stage.

Chamberlain and the others ended happily, Yao Ming smiled: "My three-point shot was confused, I didn't expect to be able to throw it." ”

Chamberlain said unceremoniously: "I threw it in, I was very accurate in three points, I don't believe you watch the NBA video, it's just that our team is short of people inside, I can only stick to the restricted area, this time I have a chance, you can pass the ball to me, I shoot on the outside." ”

From this point, you can see the cultural differences between China and the United States, but Chamberlain is not bragging, when training, the rest of the men's basketball team found that Chamberlain, like many European insiders, can play long shots outside the three-point line, Younas left, Sun Yue showed favor to Chamberlain, and said: "Then you go outside the three-point line, I will pass the ball to you." ”

After the opening, this opportunity was gone, Anthony's previous complaint became a fact, the old K made adjustments for the inside, Chris Bosh came on the court to replace Anthony, he was born to play inside, and he can swing in the two positions of power forward and center, if Chamberlain or Yao Ming leaves the penalty area, then he has defense, and he doesn't even have a chance to shoot.

The problem is that neither Chamberlain nor Yao Ming thought about leaving the box, and the reason why the two of them shot three points before was just a coincidence.

However, the gap between the strength of the Chinese team and the American team is indeed very large, which is especially clear on the outside, after the pause, although Sun Yue defended Kobe Bryant very hard, but the black mamba was not something he could deal with at all, almost in the face of Sun Yue, Kobe Bryant easily opened a record for the American team with a mid-range shot.

The men's basketball team started the game 6-2, and then Sun Yue broke into the basket and scored a layup with the help of Chamberlain's cover in the opening four minutes, helping the men's basketball team score inside for the first time, and the Chinese team maintained an 11-7 lead by this time. However, then the U.S. team counterattacked continuously with defense and fast break, Kobe Bryant hit a 3-pointer from the outside, and Reed, who came off the bench, played his marksman skills, and the two teamed up to set off a wave of 9-0 ****, and the United States quickly overtook 16-11 and widened the point difference.

So far, Yao Ming and Chamberlain's inside power has not been shown at all, and the two of them scored outside the three-point line, which made the fans of other countries in the stands breathe a sigh of relief, and even the Spanish fans shouted in unfamiliar English: "You want to use such an inside line to deal with us?" Go home and prepare the coffin! ”
