Chapter 1212 Joint Defense

Li Feng saw that it was Paul, and he thought that he was one block taller than Paul, so he immediately dribbled horizontally and wanted to shoot.

But when Li Feng dribbled, Paul's hand swept Li Feng's ball very quickly below, and the ball changed its course, which surprised Li Feng, and he quickly picked up the basketball, the ball was not lost, but the rhythm just now was gone.

In this case, Li Feng could only stand on the three-point line and throw a three-pointer.

Paul hurriedly came up to interfere, Li Feng had no rhythm, but now he was slightly interfered by Paul, his ball immediately threw hard, rebounded to the rebound, and then jumped out directly.

Li Feng's shot was also missed!

At this time, Li Feng also realized that the defense of the American team is indeed a must, and there is no team on this planet that can play such a fast rotation, such a strong outside press, and so many players with various strong defensive abilities.

Howard flew up to grab the rebound in the backcourt and then threw it to LeBron James again, this time LeBron James didn't dribble the ball himself.

Instead, it was given to Paul immediately, and Paul took the ball and quickly advanced towards the half of the Chinese team as soon as he lowered his head, Xie Libin's defense was pretty good before, but now against Paul, he was cleaned up by others in one step.

There is still a huge gap between the overall strength of the Chinese team and the American team, and Paul has passed Xie Libin. It's also a fun time.

When Li Feng was about to go over to make up for the defense, Paul suddenly rushed forward and was on the march at the same time. With one hand, Paul dribbled the ball and pulled it back, Paul played such a difficult move, and suddenly Li Feng was stiffened by Paul's body.

But Paul took the opportunity to get rid of Li Feng, and at the same time got up to a three-step basket, and a dragon went directly to the basket to score two points.

The U.S. team chased the score really quickly, and almost instantly overtook the score, and now the U.S. has surpassed the Chinese team by 2 points. The two teams played 14-12.

Just after Paul scored, Director Zhang said with a worried face:

"Team USA's rhythm is finally out! Strong defense of the position, sharp fast attack. These are the characteristics of the American team, before the American team tested, we played a good game, they couldn't help it. overtook us at once. ”

"But I think. It's a good thing that the U.S. team contributed so early! It's gold that always shines, the U.S. team will show its strength early, and we should find a way to deal with them early, otherwise people will not do their best to suppress us steadily, which is not a good thing. ”

Director Zhang did not dwell on the score at this time, but paid more attention to the situation of the whole game. This is the plan of a certain country.

At the same time, Min Lulei, who was on the sidelines, was not given for nothing, he saw that the American team had made a force. Immediately became excited, the sooner the American team exerts its strength, the easier it is to deal with, which is also what Min Lulei said in his heart.

So as soon as he saw the strength of the American team, he immediately jumped up from the bench and shouted from the sidelines:

"Prep Plan No. 1! Let's play the first number one plan! ”

If the Chinese team wants to face a perverted team like the American team in the final, how can it not be prepared in advance.

Min Lulei's No. 1 plan is the Chinese team's No. 1 strategy against the U.S. team, and the core of this strategy is to reduce the pace of the offense and present a semi-defensive state on the defensive end.

In this way, the Chinese team can avoid the rapid offense that the American team is best at, and can also maximize the effectiveness of the team on the defensive end to defend the American team.

After Min Lulei finished yelling, Xie Libin immediately pressed the rhythm very slowly to the half court of the American team when he got the basketball again.

In the half of the American team, the Chinese team was not in a hurry to attack, but was steadily passing the ball, Xie Libin took the ball and passed it to Yi Li, and Yi Li passed it to Yi Jianlian after taking the ball.

After Yi Jianlian took the ball, he dribbled two steps and moved over to pass the ball to Li Feng, Li Feng got the basketball on the periphery and resisted Iguodala while moving to the left, and then handed the ball to Zhou Qi on the inside.

When the ball arrived in Zhou Qi's hand, there were 4 seconds left in 24 seconds, and Zhou Qi knew that there was not much time left to take the ball, and the ball did not land, so he immediately turned over and threw a turning hook hand.

There is really not much time for Zhou Qi this time, and the opponent he is facing is not weak, and Zhou Qi didn't shoot basketball!

The basketball was grabbed by Carlos on the other side, and just when he wanted to pass the ball quickly, Yi Jianlian went over to harass him, and Carlos's pass did not come out at the first time, so that the fast break of the American team did not come out at the first time.

The Chinese team took advantage of this opportunity and immediately returned to their own half to set up a joint defensive formation.

The U.S. team is known for their pressing defense and fast offense, and they are very fast and impactful.

But they are not very efficient when playing joint defense, and the big reason why Mengliu failed in the Sydney World Championships before was that they would not break the joint defense.

Now the Chinese team has put on the defensive formation that the American team dislikes the most, and the American team is suddenly a little crazy, the three-point line of the international men's basketball team is one meter shorter than the NBA, and in such a narrow space, the opponent stuffs 5 tall players together, which makes the American team, which is used to playing large-space basketball, almost unable to see the route.

In order to crack the joint defense, the American team made three preparations, the first preparation took Howard, and used Howard's interior destructive power to attack from the inside out, the second preparation was to bring Stephen Corey to attack from the outside in, and the third preparation was to bring Aldridge, using Aldridge's high projection ability to destroy the joint defense in the area.

At this time, the Chinese team suddenly opened a joint defense, and the American team had not yet played Corey and Aldridge, so they could only start from the inside first.

Paul dribbled over and immediately delivered a ball-hitting pass to Howard.

Howard receives the ball inside. immediately took a step towards the road dribble, wanting to squeeze Zhou Qi away, and then he stepped to the basket.

But Howard's step. didn't squeeze Zhou Qi away at all, Zhou Qi's lower limbs were too strong, his tried and tested tricks didn't work well on Zhou Qi at all, Howard didn't squeeze Zhou Qi at all, and the next step was very awkward, and it was awkward when he stepped awkwardly.

The basketball landed on the edge of the basket, and the hand fell straight down. Howard has a high efficiency in playing most interior lines in the NBA, but there are not many pure meat shield methods such as playing Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi turned around and caught the basketball, and then immediately passed the ball to Li Feng.

After using Min Lulei's No. 1 plan. Although the efficiency of the offensive end of the Chinese team has not increased, the efficiency of the defensive end has come all at once.

Li Feng also took the ball according to Min Lulei's plan, and slowly advanced the ball to the half court of the American team. Only then did the basketball be handed over to Yi Jianlian first.

Yi Jianlian at this time. Anyway, Lefu still has a height advantage against Lefu, Yi Jianlian also understands at this time that Min Lulei's No. 1 strategy focuses on squeezing the inside line of the American team, so Yi Jianlian also immediately took the ball and tried to attack the low position of the American team, but in the confrontation, he really couldn't bear Lefu, and he was pushed by Lefu in the low position without a position.

He could only pass the ball back to Yi Li. Yi Li controlled the ball a little and tried to confront LeBron James, in a short confrontation. He was almost hit by LeBron James and lost his center of gravity, and tasted the power of LeBron James, so he could only give the ball to Li Feng.

Li Feng took the ball and saw that Zhou Qi was stuck in a deep position, he immediately passed the ball to Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi took the ball and did the same action as last time, turned over after receiving the ball, and successfully sent the basketball to the basket of the United States team with his left hand.

The Chinese team tied the score, and after using a slow-paced attack and joint defense, it really worked.

But at this time, Lao K's reaction was also quite fast, he saw that more than half of the time in the first quarter was played, and he immediately replaced Anthony and Aldridge, Anthony plays power forward, and he can pull outside the three-point line and definitely open up space, Aldridge's shooting ability is also all over the three-point line of the international men's basketball team.

These two people came up and immediately increased the long-range shooting ability of the American team, as well as the ability to open up space, for a team like the American team that is good at breaking through, space is a necessary thing to win, and the height of the inside line is secondary compared to space.

After the substitution, the U.S. team ran over to defend the Chinese team, but it was not cramped, Paul controlled the ball and passed the basketball to Anthony, who was half a step inside the three-point line, and Anthony was against Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian is a big block taller than Anthony, but in the face of such an opponent, Anthony is also unhurried, with his right foot towards a quick probing step in front, Yi Jianlian did not eat his feints, but Anthony's spying step is simply too demonic, his lower foot has not been withdrawn, and the hand above has already been raised.

And Anthony's shot was very fast, and the bullet speed was also fast, and in an instant, he finished shooting.

Yi Jianlian had neither a chance to jump nor a chance to react, and when he stretched out his hand, Anthony's action was over.

The ball made a beautiful arc and landed in the basket of the Chinese team.

Anthony's steady projection finally brought a powerful weapon to the U.S. team to break the defense.

Anthony has always performed better in international games than in the NBA, mainly because Anthony is too alternative in the current NBA, what is popular in the NBA? It is to break through the dunk and shoot three points from a distance, which is what NBA players like to practice, and what fans like to watch, and at the same time, the rules of the NBA are also conducive to this way of scoring.

But Anthony's main offensive weapon is the distance jumper and the back-to-back offense, which are all things that are about to be eliminated by the rules of the NBA and the aesthetics of fans, and these scoring methods practiced by Anthony are unpopular techniques that the NBA's generation of stars do not pay attention to, and the scoring efficiency is not as efficient as long-range three-point shots and breaking fouls.

This is also a factor in Anthony's inability to lead the team in the NBA, but when Anthony came to the international arena, his disadvantages all turned into advantages.

The rules of the international men's basketball team make it difficult to make American-style breakthroughs, and Anthony's usual 2-point distance has now become three points, and Anthony's back-to-back offense does not need much space, so as soon as he plays an international game, Anthony's efficiency immediately increases greatly, and this is the role of the rules.

Under the same rules, the rest of the U.S. team, who is good at breaking through, will feel particularly awkward.

At this time, the Chinese team advanced again, and the Chinese team still wanted to suppress the rhythm and slow down.

But now the U.S. team has changed two light interior lines, their movement speed is suddenly faster, and the Chinese team can't do it anymore if they want to pass the ball slowly, Aldridge and Anthony are around Zhou Qi in front of one at this time, and the other intercepts Yi Jianlian's passing route, so that the Chinese team's ball can't get into the inner line, and can only go back and forth on the periphery, and this kind of passing is not threatening.

In the end, Zhou Qi finally got the basketball in the high position, but his shooting range was unstable in the high position, so he could only use his high status to pass the ball to Li Feng, Li Feng only got the ball at the bottom line, Anthony and Iguodala immediately formed a strong double package to block Li Feng on the bottom line.

Li Feng was sure to play Anthony and Iguodala one-on-one, but let him carry two by himself, and suddenly Li Feng was also in a hurry and almost made a mistake, so he passed the basketball to Yi Jiangang outside.

Yi Jianlian threw a long-range shot, but was harassed by LeBron James who flew over and didn't shoot.

In the past, the Chinese team used joint defense to give the American team a lot of trouble, but now once the American team is on a brisk lineup, the Chinese team is also choked.

Aldridge turned around and grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and then immediately passed it to Anthony, Anthony took the ball and ran, he was originally playing a big forward, he ran like this, and suddenly messed up the alignment of the Chinese team.

Yi Li, who originally defended LeBron James, could only reluctantly come over to defend Anthony, but Anthony was not easy to deal with, the gap between him and LeBron James was that the speed was slightly slower, and the bounce was not as perverted as LeBron James.

Technically, Anthony is no worse than LeBron James, and his so-called inferior aspect of LeBron James is just not so perverted, and Anthony is as first-class in the NBA as fast as bounce.

In this way, the physical gap between him and Yi Li was too big, and Anthony took Yi Li to the side in one step.

Although Yi Li was in pain from being hit at this time, he still gritted his teeth and followed Anthony closely on the side.

Anthony doesn't care about him when he gets the ball, he just knocks his body with Yi Li, this kind of forced breakthrough is Anthony's usual style of play, and he doesn't feel anything at all, so he pushes Yi Li to the half of the Chinese team. (To be continued......)
