Before the head coach of the American team, Lao K, couldn't sit still, Thibodeau in the stands couldn't sit still.

As a player who has dealt with defense all his life, he is the most attentive and sensitive to defense.

Xu Yong's defense, why does it seem to be different from what he saw in the video?

Xu Yong in the video is a characteristic defender, and he is directly restrained against James's type, but when he encounters a flexible outside line, he can only be regarded as a passing level.

However, Xu Yong's defense in the past period, especially off-ball defense, is simply the best defensive level.

This made him incomprehensible, knowing that more than three months had passed since Xu Yong's offseason.

But at the same time, this also makes me extremely happy, knowing that the Bulls already have Allen's defensive gate.

Allen-Xu Yong-Artest-Yao Ming, this all-defensive formation, it is really an iron net, a nightmare for breakthrough players.

Old K stood up and made a tactical gesture to the U.S. players on the field.

When the U.S. team advanced to the frontcourt, Durant directly relied on Xu Yong to ask for the ball outside the three-point line.

For this way of asking for the ball, Xu Yong can't stop it, at most he reaches out to try to see if there is a chance to steal.

In the end, he didn't work out either, and Durant managed to get the ball on the outside.

At the same time, the rest of the U.S. team also sank to the bottom line, giving Durant enough space to play alone.

Should I say it or not, this is really using Durant as Jordan.

Xu Yong continued Allen's defensive strategy at this time, keeping the defensive position close to him, while constantly putting pressure on the ball.

He had only one goal, and he must not allow Durant to easily lift the ball above his head.

Durant was a three-man threat, but he didn't choose to shoot, but instead chose to change direction with a trailing step.

This breakthrough was huge, and Xu Yong could only choose to retreat to maintain a defensive position.

Durant was also very crisp, breaking through to a position of about 16 feet and directly opted for a pull-up jumper with a stop.

Seo jumped almost at the same time, but Durant's shot was higher than his block.

"Huh!"

Despite his well-defended and disruptive defense, Durant dragged the ball into the basket.

Xu Yong was a little helpless when he saw this, Durant's dry pull is really unsolvable, and he still has a lot to learn on the defensive end.

And after the goal, Durant smiled at Xu Yong.

This rookie, who was frantically used to help output on social media last season, caused him enough trouble tonight.

Seeing Durant's smile, Xu Yong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he had already dealt with it.

"Don't be happy, you can't stop me either." He said directly to Durant.

Durant's smile froze.

Good guys, I helped you so much last season, and even gave Harden the same trumpet as a pet, and you kid actually trash talk to me!

But he thought about it, Xu Yong didn't seem to know about using the trumpet.

So his choice was to turn his head and say a word to Iguodala, saying that he wanted to guard against Xu Yong with his own hands.

Before seeing Durant succeed in seeing James take a shortcut, it was still quite tough.

Xu Yong held the ball to the front court and found that it was Durant who defended himself, and he was overjoyed.

His thinking is actually very simple, just like against the Lakers last season, in the case of unguarded, attrition is the best way to defend.

This is also one of Tony Allen's skills, because offense is always greater than defense, and against the top scorers, the consumption is the most cost-effective.

And this Dream Nine team is also very similar to the Lakers at the beginning of last season, except for Durant, everyone else is not that strong.

At least on paper, he was the weakest since the Dream Team was founded.

Not to mention the Dream Six team, Dream Six has Iverson and Duncan, and the rest of this team is really not good.

If you want to leave Durant behind, it is unknown whether the rest of the people can make it to the Final Four.

The Dream 13 team led by Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in the future has proved with practical actions that without Durant, they are the seventh in the world.

As long as Durant is consumed, then the Chinese team will have a chance.

So in the next second, Xu Yong also stretched out his hand to signal to pull away.

Durant is different from James, if James is a fish that needs to be caught, then Durant at this time is the kind that needs to be harpooned.

This move, in Durant's eyes, is: Come on, Kevin, let's have an American hero heads-up!

It's hard to say no American player other than Smart's people to turn down such an invitation.

Three threats, falling steps, accelerating breakthroughs, Xu Yong knows that Durant is tall and has long arms, so it is his movement speed that hits.

But he didn't work easily.

Durant's defense isn't top-notch, as he hasn't been named to the defensive team in his entire career, but his defense isn't bad.

In general, his co-defense is average, but with the blessing of talent, his one-on-one defense is not weak.

It's a lot like his template Maddie.

However, in the end, Xu Yong still passed Durant without slowing down with a change of direction before entering the free throw line, and then smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.

And after the dunk, Xu Yong made a trademark gesture at him.

There is only one meaning to this action: I told you, you can't stop me.

Xu Yong threw out his harpoon and stabbed it directly at Durant.

Durant is angry!

Even if Xu Yong didn't know about the trumpet, this provocation made him angry.

After advancing to the front court, he didn't say anything about the ball, and pulled it directly to Xu Yong.

This is really unreasonable.

Xu Yong's attempt to cut the ball was unsuccessful.

"Huh!"

Durant continued his hot hand in the first quarter, hitting again from beyond the three-point line.

After the goal, Durant glared angrily at Xu Yong.

Xu Yong shrugged his shoulders, then turned around, he broke through Durant again, and then hit the pivot foot back with a dry pull back to color.

Obviously, with the feel of the hand being online, the two of them can't guard against anyone now.

Then, invariably, the interior players on both sides began to consciously assist in the defense.

But Durant's big loop, and Xu Yong's impact, are not so easy to help defend.

Now the fans are happy, and this kind of confrontation is rare to see on the field of FIBA games.

And the key is that the way the two score is very visually impactful.

Even Zhang Weiping, who was in the commentary seat, couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Yang Yi at this time.

Although it is touted, what Yang Yi said earlier does not seem to be completely impossible now?

The topic of the next decade of the league, if that is true, then today's game is the beginning of history!

At the end of the third quarter, the U.S. team led the Chinese team by 6 points 71-65.

Purely compared to the ability to score points, Xu Yong is still a little worse than Durant now.

However, just like when he played the Lakers, his goal has been achieved, and even exceeded.

Because Durant was already gasping for air violently when he got off the court.

Durant's scoring explosiveness is at the same level as Kobe, but his physical fitness is much worse than Kobe.

Or to put it another way, what prevents Durant from achieving the same level as Kobe Bryant is his physical fitness.

The coach of the two sides entering the final quarter.

The first to sit still was Thibodeau in the stands.

Because he found that Xu Yong played the third quarter in the third quarter, he actually played again at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Don't say it, he's a little reluctant.

Deng Huade, you kid use it like this, what should I do if I get hurt!

However, there is a big difference in the Chinese team's game in this quarter, that is, after only two minutes of this quarter, Deng Huade replaced all the other main players on the court.

Obviously, after finding out that there was a real chance to win against the United States, he didn't hold it back.

Then the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the Chinese team.

Because the first three quarters were basically Xu Yong's output, Yao Ming's physical fitness at this time was still quite abundant.

Including Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, each one is more vigorous than the other.

It's not that they're hanging up, it's that when defeating the Dream Team is just around the corner, it seems that there is an inexhaustible power in that body.

On the other hand, on the side of the American team, although Durant was replaced, he was drained of his physical fitness by Xu Yong, and he couldn't recover in a short time.

And at this time, all the fans at the scene stood up and cheered for the Chinese team.

The last time the Dream Team lost was at the 2006 World Championships, when they lost 95-101 to Greece in the semifinals.

Now, just four years have passed, and in the time of an Olympic cycle, they may be losing again!

In the cheers of the fans, the Chinese team is also fighting more and more bravely, and the American team is playing a mess as if it has no backbone.

At this moment, you can't tell who is the real dream team on the field.

When the Chinese team finally overtook the score with Zhu Fangyu's three points a minute before the end, the entire stadium was in a boil.

Iguodala tried to step up, but his breakaway layup was directly denied by Yao Ming's hot pot.

Durant took the ball from the sideline and tried to save the situation for the American team, but he was not physically fit enough to seize the opportunity by Xu Yong, and after the confrontation, he completed the steal directly at the moment when he took the ball.

When Xu Yong rushed forward with a quick break after a steal, Durant's back staggering to the ground behind him made a classic shot of this game.

"Bang!"

And when Xu Yong smashed the ball into the basket with a dunk, stretched the difference to 5 points, and almost sealed the victory, the whole court was completely boiling.

Coach K called a timeout and set up a three-point strategy.

The tactics were successful, but Durant still couldn't make a shot due to intense physical exertion.

Yao Ming protected the defensive rebound.

The U.S. team had only the option of a tactical foul.

It's just that when you make a tactical foul on a player who has shot 83 percent from the free throw line in his NBA career and was close to 90 percent last season, the game has lost its suspense.

In the end, with Iguodala's three-point hit, the score was finally fixed at 97-90.

The Chinese team, with a difference of 7 points, defeated the Dream Nine team, and also became the seventh national team to defeat the Dream Team after Yugoslavia, Spain, Puerto Rico, Lithuania, Greece and Argentina!

In the dark, there are 7 meanings!

In terms of statistics, on the U.S. team's side, Durant scored 35 points, Westbrook 11 points, Odom 9 points and 9 boards, Billups 9 points, Iguodala 8 points, Chandler 5 points and 9 boards, and Rondo 2 points and 6 assists.

On the Chinese team's side, Xu Yong had 30 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, Yao Ming 19 points, 9 boards, 6 assists and 2 blocks, Zhu Fangyu 12 points, Wang Shipeng 9 points, Sun Yue 8 points, 3 boards and 2 steals, Yi Jianlian 8 points and 8 boards, Wang Zhizhi 7 points and 6 boards.

When the final whistle sounded, Yao Ming raised his hands excitedly, and Yi Jianlian on the side went over excitedly to bump his chest with him.

Xu Yong also raised his right fist high to greet his teammates who rushed up from the bench.

This is a historic moment for Chinese basketball.

Although it is possible, even if he is as confident as Xu Yong, he does not feel that the Chinese team has much chance of winning tonight.

But in the end, they proved their mettle.

Nothing is impossible!

The audience at the scene applauded and cheered for the Chinese team.

The U.S. team also came over for a post-match handshake at this time.

"I've fallen into your trap, and I won't lose another time." When shaking hands with Xu Yong, Durant had also regained his composure.

Xu Yong smiled, and then calmly accepted the other party's shoulder bump.

Durant's personality is still very real, not only in front of him, but also from Harden.

After the handshake was completed, the cheers of the audience did not stop, especially the Chinese who arrived and the Chinese fans who rushed to the scene, and the excitement could not be reduced at all.

In fact, don't talk about them, the ratings of this game exploded and exploded at this moment.

This is very understandable, seeing that the Chinese team is going to win, at this kind of moment, you don't wake up your brother to witness the moment of victory, it is because you usually don't drink too much.

And the early morning screams that originally only belonged to the World Cup goals also belonged to the Chinese men's basketball team this time.

Even though he was only a group game, history is history and it will be remembered.

At this time, the United States, which has a time difference of 7 hours slower than Turkey, is also a frying pan on social media.

The U.S. team won, and that is not a little bit of a wave on social media, but the U.S. team loses, especially against the Chinese team, and that is explosive news.

Not to mention that this game was in a sense the debut of the Bulls' Chinese pair, which itself attracted a lot of people to watch in the United States.

"What, I'm dead?"

"It's not that the Qing Dynasty is dead, it's that the Qing Dynasty is dead again!"

"What about Kobe? What about LeBron? What about Wade? What about Anthony? What about Howard? Who are these people? So did Westbrook play the starting point guard? He can't fight! He doesn't have that ability, you know! ”

"I lost Argentina before, then I lost to Greece, then I lost to Puerto Rico, now I lost to China, and if I lose again, I will lose to Japan, and then no one loses, and the American basketball team doesn't want to lose face!"

"The American Basketball Association is dead, we have the best basketball league in the world, but they can't find 12 people who can win."

"Except for Durant, everyone else stayed in Turkey and didn't have to come back."

"Man, don't get too excited, it's just a group game and we're still going to be champions." From the comment of "KBfnas".

"Yes, you have to believe that if we meet again in the knockout round, it will be the United States team that wins." Comments from "Los Angeles Nation".

I've been sweating while sitting, I'm sitting in an air-conditioned room like sitting in a sauna, I can't sit still at night, I haven't updated it tomorrow morning, wait for the evening, sorry
