The game with the United States men's basketball team, as Wang Chao imagined, was very difficult.

Playing at home in London, morale is not at all comparable to that of the '08 Olympic Games.

Da Yao's age and injury hazards have also led to a sharp decrease in his dominance, and in the course of the game, the Mi Guo Dream Team frequently used a lot of defense around the front to consume Da Yao's physical strength.

As for Wang Chao's side, the Dream Team's handling method is James's one-on-one single defense, not to wrap Wang Chao, but to strictly guard against other players of the Huaguo men's basketball team, and to cut off the connection between Wang Chao and other players as much as possible to intercept the passing route.

There's a bit of Jordan's rule.

Wang Chao, who has just activated the talent of the wonderful passer, has the ability to pass the ball to his teammates, but the level of the Huaguo men's basketball team except for Wang Chao and Da Yao is still too far behind the top NBA stars, and it is difficult to successfully send the ball to the basket even if he receives the ball.

As a result, the Huaguo men's basketball team can only rely on Wang Chao's continuous singles offensive scoring to avoid being opened up by the dream team.

On the offensive end, Wang Chao can still support it, but on the defensive end, he is really powerless.

The 12-year-old dream team of the United States can be said to have reached the ultimate in offensive ability, with James, Durant, Kobe, Anthony and other players with outstanding offensive ability, and they are still in their prime.

Among them, Durant is the most popular in FIBA games, because his scoring method is more inclined to mid-to-long-range shooting, which is the best weapon to deal with the joint defense system that is common in international basketball games.

In this game with the Huaguo men's basketball team, Durant frequently used his mobility and height and arm span to shoot mid-range shots.

Wang Chao has the heart to limit Durant's offense, but the other party is also a chicken thief.

During the Western Conference finals, Durant found that Wang Chao's defense against him was very good, and even if he could gradually adapt, he would still be reduced in efficiency.

Therefore, when Wang Chao found him, this guy decisively chose to block and dismantle the cover, and continued to attack after blocking and dismantling Wang Chao with the help of his teammates.

Unconsciously, more than halfway through the game, the Huaguo men's basketball team began to gradually gain the upper hand in the game.

The score was 36:44 in the first half, and the Huaguo team trailed by 8 points.

What's worse is that of the 36 points scored by the Huaguo team in the half, 24 points were scored by Wang Chao, and the remaining 12 points, Da Yao scored 8 points, the United Arab Emirates scored 4 points, and the other players did not score a point.

"Oops, the Huaguo team relies too much on Wang Chao, this is a basketball game, how can the offense revolve around one player? We need to open up more scoring points and make the defense of the United States team less concentrated, so that Wang Chao's defensive pressure on the offensive end can be reduced, so as to get the possibility of winning. ”

CCTV Sports Channel, Director Zhang, who was in charge of commenting the finals, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"Over the years, the Huaguo men's basketball team has been accustomed to the support of Wang Chao and Da Yao, two pillars on the international stage, and the first reaction of other players on the court after receiving the ball is almost always to find Wang Chao's position first and then find a way to pass the ball over, such a development is obviously deformed."

"Wang Chao's super personal ability can certainly make the Chinese men's basketball team win a lot of games, but on the other hand, it will also limit the play of other players, young players can not get exercise, and so on the next Olympic Games, the next Olympic Games, Wang Chao, Da Yao and other backbones are gradually aging, after leaving the national team, what will the Chinese men's basketball team do?"

"The Huaguo men's basketball team must find a new path as soon as possible in the future, and now the reality is also in front of us, under the restriction of Da Yao and relying only on Wang Chao's strength, the Huaguo men's basketball team cannot compete with the United States Dream Team."

When Director Zhang said something, countless Chinese fans in front of the TV couldn't help but feel heavy.

The Chinese men's basketball team has been too smooth sailing in recent years, winning the 08 Olympic Games shocked the world, and winning the 10-year World Championships in Turkey officially entered the world's top ranks.

The two championships have given many people the illusion that the Huaguo men's basketball team really has the strength second only to the United States Dream Team.

But this is obviously an illusion, imagine that if there is no Wang Chao and no Da Yao, what will the real strength of the Huaguo men's basketball team be? I'm afraid that even qualifying for the group stage will be extremely difficult, right?

Even now, the Huaguo men's basketball team can compete with the United States Dream Team on the final stage, and it is all because of Wang Chao.

Countless fans in front of the TV were silently thinking, and then ......

Wang Chao grabbed a shot outside the three-point line with the help of his teammates' cover! Shots hit! ”

"The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant broke through with the ball to attract the bag and split the ball to the outside! Wang Chao judged the passing route in advance to complete the steal, a fast attack from the Huaguo men's basketball team! Wang Chao's speed is so fast, James tried to stop Wang Chao but failed, Wang Chao scored with one hand, and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time, it was James's defensive foul 2+1! ”

The Chinese fans have not yet recovered from Director Zhang's thought-provoking words, and the commentary in the studio has been explained in a hurried and excited tone.

Wang Chao immediately showed strong aggression at the beginning of the third quarter, scoring 6 points in a row, and chased the 8-point difference to 2 points in the blink of an eye.

The situation changed so quickly that many people were completely overwhelmed.

Yes! The competition is not over yet, and the future will be left to the future to consider, and all they can do now is to cheer for the Olympic athletes who are still fighting the field!

"Abominable ......"

The dream team didn't expect that Wang Chao would seize the opportunity to catch up with the score difference if he was a little careless.

James attacked with the ball, and the tank-like breakthrough carried the defender to force him to break into the basket and raise his hand to the basket, and Da Yao under the basket flew out directly with his layup!

Da Yao, who completed the block, then actively grabbed the position on the inside and received the pass smoothly, with his back to Tyson. Chandler half-turned and scored with a small hook shot.

The score is tied!

The United States men's basketball team called a timeout.

It is true that there is a huge gap in the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, but only two points, Wang Chao and Da Yao, are enough to give them a headache, especially Wang Chao, whose explosive scoring ability on the offensive end is too exaggerated.

After the timeout, the scores of the two teams rose to a stalemate, and by the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 57:59, and the difference was only 2 points.

"Sure enough, I still have to find a way."

In the second quarter of the game, Da Yao finally barely carried it down and recovered the score difference in the first half despite the physical exertion.

But in the fourth quarter, Da Yao, who is seriously physically exhausted, may not be able to provide more help, not to mention Da Yao, even if it is Wang Chao, who played the first three quarters of the game, and is still under the defensive pressure of the Dream Team's almost Jordan's law, he also feels a little tired.

If you continue to play normally like this, you will definitely not be able to win the game.

Although Wang Chao had a certain psychological preparation before the game, he felt that he still had to try.

After a little thought in his heart, Wang Chao's eyes looked at a player opposite.

Kevin. Durant!

Durant has been quite active in this Olympics, and his average of 19 points per game so far is also the leading scorer in the men's basketball team.

This is actually understandable, compared with James, Kobe Bryant, the regular season MVP, champion, FMVP, scoring champion and other top superstars, Durant, who has been in the league for 5 seasons, is really nothing.

And all this is to blame on Wang Chao's head, including this Western Showdown, he also lost to Wang Chao.

Therefore, even on the Olympic stage, as long as he can beat Wang Chao, Durant can gain a great sense of achievement.

Wang Chao, who has a deep understanding of Adu's careful eye, chooses to take a risk.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, after the two sides reappeared, Wang Chao saw the opportunity to approach Durant's side and muttered softly: "Are you so afraid of me?" There are so many top superstar helpers around me who don't dare to face me head-on, and they need to use pick-and-roll screens to avoid my defense, at this level? ”

Durant was in a good mood, but seeing that Wang Chao was unable to support himself, the Huaguo men's basketball team fell into passivity and was about to lose, which felt really good.

But hearing Wang Chao's words, his good mood disappeared in an instant.

It's all come to this point, and you still want to provoke me? Alright then, I'll let you die completely!

Durant, who was successfully aroused by Wang Chao's anger, immediately took the initiative to ask for the ball on the offensive end and singled out Wang Chao.

The United States men's basketball team did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, the basketball was handed over to Durant, this game Durant with frequent blocking and covering shots, the first three quarters of the game has scored 29 points, is the dream team side of the highest score and the highest efficiency value of the player.

But in front of Wang Chao, Durant's offense failed.

After continuous ball shaking, Durant suddenly threw a cold arrow dry pull-out jumper from the middle range.

But Wang Chao reacted very quickly, raised his hand to interfere at the first time, and successfully affected Durant's hand, and missed the shooting frame.

The new champion brother Anthony. Davis also wanted to scramble for an offensive rebound, but Da Yao stuck his position sideways and directly took the rebound into his arms.

"Cut." Durant pouted when he missed the shot, but he didn't take the offensive loss to heart.

But he soon realized that something was wrong.

The Huaguo team attacked, Wang Chao faced James's mid-range stop-and-go jump shot, and the offense and defense were converted, and Durant's offense under Wang Chao's defense actually missed again, and Wang Chao seized the opportunity to quickly counterattack and hit another three-point!

The dream team was stunned.

In the blink of an eye, how did it go from being 2 points ahead to 3 points behind?

"It can't be!" Durant was already a little anxious at this time, he once again stubbornly held the ball and wanted to single Wang Chao, and scored a ball with his personal ability to prove that his offensive ability is not something that Wang Chao can limit.

But on the third offense in a row, Durant failed again.

The head coach of the United States men's basketball team finally saw the problem, Durant, who had been playing for a long time, was already a little tired, and the consumption of physical energy made his offensive options begin to become single, especially without teammates to block and cover, Durant's offense is almost a mid-range dry pull that cannot be beaten, after all, this is the most physical offensive move.

Everything was obviously in Wang Chao's plan.

The head coach of the United States team, who reacted, immediately called a timeout to adjust and replaced Durant to rest, anyway, the dream team has no shortage of offensive players at all.

But by this time it was already a little late.

On the side of the Huaguo men's basketball team, Da Yao Qiang scored another crucial goal on the inside, expanding the score advantage to 5 points.

Originally, for the Dream Team, the gap of only 5 points could be caught up in the blink of an eye, but in the next few minutes, no matter who attacked, they could not catch up with the difference.

Because Wang Chao took all the offensive points of the subsequent Huaguo team, no matter who scored on the side of the Mi Guo team, Wang Chao responded as soon as possible, and the score difference was always maintained at 5 points.

As the time passed, the Mi Guo team began to become agitated, and the defense against Wang Chao changed from the initial one-on-one marking to a frenzied full-court double bag.

Finally, with 30 seconds left before the end of the game, relying on Kobe's mid-range shot, the United States team finally struggled to tie the score.

At this time, the score between the two sides was 81:81, and there were 30 seconds left in the game, and the Huaguo men's basketball team had the ball.

The UAE team served on the bottom line, and three players of the United States team interfered at the bottom line, resolutely not giving the Chinese team a chance to serve, but Wang Chao still successfully received the serve through a reverse run and his teammates blocking and dismantling the cover.

The next moment, Wang Chao rushed towards the half of the United States team.

James, Kobe Bryant and others chased and intercepted Wang Chao, but they still couldn't stop him from rushing across the halfcourt.

However, at this time, Wang Chao was already at the end of the crossbow.

Playing the whole game, with great investment at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, his physical fitness has almost decreased, and more importantly, in order to ensure the efficiency of the offense at critical moments, Wang Chao used a lot of bullet time to create opportunities.

But this last point is just around the corner, so even if you grit your teeth, you have to keep going!

With a light turn, Wang Chao came directly to a person to divide the ball, and while squeezing between James and Kobe, the basketball cleverly hit the ground and passed to his teammates on one side.

Brilliant Messenger Talent!

James and Kobe Bryant didn't expect Wang Chao to choose to pass the ball at this time, and the passing action was so fancy and elegant, when he was stunned for a moment and then reacted, the action was already half a beat slower.

It was guard Guo Allen who received Wang Chao's pass, and when he saw Wang Chao cut into the basket, he almost subconsciously threw the basketball in the direction of the basket.

Wang Chao accelerated his jump at the free throw line, jumped high, grabbed the basketball in the air, and then smashed it in the direction of the basket with all his strength.

"Boom ——!"

In the violent sound of the basket, Wang Chao staggered to the ground.

83:81！

There are only 21 seconds left in the game.

The United States team called a timeout and arranged the last attack, this last ball, whether it is a three-point kill or a two-point draw, must be defended for the Chinese team.

Needless to say, even if it is a two-point draw, the two sides will play another round of overtime, and the Huaguo team will not have the physical strength and energy to support the opponent in overtime!

After the timeout, the U.S. men's basketball team served, and the basketball was handed over to Kobe.

In the face of Sun Yue's defense, Kobe Bryant slowly dribbled the ball and pressed the game time to the last 6 seconds before starting, he accelerated with the ball, passed Sun Yue most of his body in one step, and then rushed to the right side of the free throw line, and made a jump shot.

But at the moment when Kobe Bryant shot, Wang Chao suddenly came out from one side and flew the basketball fan out directly!

The sudden scene stunned everyone.

Not far away, Paul picked up the basketball that had been fanned, but he didn't even have time to throw it to the basket when the whistle for the whole game sounded.

At 83:81, Kobe Bryant failed, and the Chinese team was upset again, defeating the United States team on the Olympic finals stage and winning the Olympic gold medal!
