After the first quarter, Zhang said excitedly: "If it weren't for the Dream Four team having two top point guards, Gary Payton and Kidd, I think we would have played better." ”

Sun Zhenping nodded and said: "Yes, since the American team has been on the double point guard, Zhou Quan's role on the defensive end has been reduced, and the American team has successfully evaded Zhou Quan's defense by using the dual point guard tactics. ”

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "But our offense played really well, and the American team didn't defend it." In particular, Da Yao's performance was eye-catching, and he got more chances in the first quarter than Da Zhi. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Da Yao's height is more advantageous than Da Zhi under the basket, his shooting is not worse than Da Zhi, and his skills are not bad now." ”

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "It's not bad, I scored 4 points on 2-of-3 shooting." The two inside lines scored 16 points, and Zhou Quan used his breakthrough to create a lot of opportunities for Da Yao Dazhi and played our inside advantage. ”

Zhang Li said seriously at this time: "But the American team played well in the back, and we mainly led for a period of time in the front. So you can't be careless, the stars of this Dream Four team are also very strong. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "The U.S. team is still in singles mode, and after the point guard passes the ball out, it is generally impossible to take it back. ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "They all play the core in their own teams, and the tactical system revolves around themselves, so they have developed a habit of taking the ball to solve problems by themselves." ”

Sun Zhenping asked: "Director Zhang, Mr. Xu, do you think the U.S. team will wrap up Zhou Quan or Da Yao next?" Da Yao has scored the most points, and he is now a big threat to the U.S. team as well. ”

Zhang Li thought for a while and said: "Maybe it will be able to wrap up Zhou Quan, it shouldn't be possible to wrap up Da Yao." They dare to wrap up Da Yao, and Zhou Quan's passing and direct assist ability will make them regret it. Tomjanovich is very familiar with Zhou Quan, and he doesn't dare to wrap up Da Yao. ”

When Xu Jicheng heard this, he suddenly said excitedly: "If we wait until Da Zhida Yao is more mature, after a few years of training in the NBA, we will be really strong in the next Olympic Games." ”

On the U.S. bench, Tomjanovic is laying out the tactics for the second quarter.

"The second quarter is a good opportunity for us to catch up, our bench lineup is no worse than the main lineup, and the Chinese national team is impossible."

"In the second quarter, we have to take on the main offensive task from the outside, because we don't have many people at the center."

Speaking of which, he regretted that there was no one available for the center position, and in the past ten years, it was the era when the four super centers were rampant.

On the side of the Chinese national team, Jiang Xinquan asked Zhou Quan first: "Zhou Quan, do you think we have to fight in this game?" ”

Zhou Quan originally followed the team's idea to test the strength of the American team in the group stage, and did not fight with them with all his might.

But the result of the first quarter made him feel that the Dream Four team was really nothing more than that.

It's not that he underestimated the Dream Fourth Team, but that Da Yao's strength was beyond his expectations.

Now the main center in the team is still Dazhi, and the best center in China is still Dazhi, but Da Yao's performance really makes him feel bright.

However, in the first quarter, Da Yao mainly pulled out to block and dismantle in the high post, and attacked more in the low post, and then he wanted to see Da Yao's low-post offensive ability.

If Da Yao's low post is good, then with his height, there is hope to dominate under the basket.

Of course, Da Yao also played a few basket offenses in the first quarter, and Garnett couldn't prevent it, so he could only respond with foul tactics, so Da Yao's low-post offensive strength should be okay, but he still wanted to take a look.

"Coach Jiang, the American team is just like that, they are not as good as the Dream Three team, we have a chance to win." He said.

Jiang Xinquan glanced at Liu Yumin next to him, Liu Yumin nodded, and he immediately said, "Okay, let's fight." ”

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhou Quan played.

"Is the Chinese team trying to win us?"

Seeing Zhou Quan on the field, Tomjanovic knew what the opponent was planning.

Although he fell behind in the first quarter, he still didn't believe that the Dream Four team would lose to the Chinese national team, after all, the Dream Four team did not divide the main force and the substitute at all, and the Chinese national team could not.

He sent Garnett and Weinbeck, Raheem, Tim Hardaway, and Gary Payton, still two point guards, Garnett played 9 minutes in the first quarter, Payton played 8 minutes in the first quarter, and played a period of time in the second quarter before making a substitution.

On the ball, he thought Tekken would definitely choose to defend Payton, so he let Tim Hardaway play with the ball.

In the Chinese national team, in addition to Zhou Quan, there are also Bart, Liu Yudong, Li Nan, and Guo Siqiang.

The U.S. team attacked first.

Garnett scored 7 points on 3-of-5 shooting and 1-of-2 free throws in the first quarter, and was the most scorer on the U.S. team in the first quarter.

However, he ran into the bus, the power of the bus is not something he can squeeze, he can't get in after squeezing twice, and by the time he uses his fast pace to move around the bus into the penalty area, Tim Hardaway, who has the ball, has completed the attack.

Zhou Quan really followed Payton, and the bug Tim Hardaway broke through with the ball from the top of the arc.

His breakthrough with the ball is a must, although he is a little old, and the speed is not as good as before, but the technique is still there, Guo Siqiang did not keep up with the rhythm, he was sudden, and the worm went to the basket from the left end of the free throw line to make a layup, and the bus moved too slowly, and the layup was successful.

Zhou Quan attacked with the ball, Liu Yudong and the bus both pulled out, he came to the top of the arc, and came to an attack that was exactly the same as the little worm just now.

Needless to say, Wenbeck is all fat into a ball, and there is no way to talk about returning to defense.

Even if Garnett is very fast, compared to other insiders, in front of Zhou Quan's ball-holding breakthrough speed, his return defense speed is also a little worse.

"Bang!"

After Zhou Quan took a big step from the free throw line, he flew into a violent dunk and exploded the basket of the American team.

In the second quarter, Da Yao and Da Zhi were not on the court, and the substitute lineup was not as good as the main lineup, so Zhou Quan changed the style of the first quarter and went all out to attack.

In the first three minutes, he scored all the fast-break and break-through layups, and the gloves couldn't prevent his break-through and fast-break at all, and Garnett and Wenbeck couldn't prevent his break-through layups, shooting 3-of-4 in total, 2-of-2 free throws, and scoring 8 points.

Not only did the U.S. team not narrow the difference, but also widened it to 10 points, and Tomjanovic quickly replaced Mourning and let him and Garnett join forces to block the penalty area.

And Jiang Xinquan also replaced Dazhi and asked him to partner with Bart.

Zhou Quan began to play high-post blocking tactics with Da Zhi, and assisted Da Zhi and Guo Siqiang in a row within three minutes, and also scored under the basket to cause Mo Ning's two fouls, 1 of 1 shot, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 5 points in a row.

At this point, the margin widened to 13 points, and the U.S. team called a timeout.

Barkley said unhappily: "What the hell is this fighting, the score difference is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Kenny Smith said: "It's normal, because the first active player in the NBA league is on the other side, which of our stars is not his loser?" And we don't take advantage of the inside line, and their two tall inside lines are good. ”

Barkley grimaced: "We should send O'Neal to the Olympics, and Tim Duncan, so that we can crush them in the low post." ”

Kenny Smith smiled wryly: "Yes, it's a pity that the Dream Four team even has only one center. ”

After the timeout, the U.S. team put on Payton and Kidd as dual point guards, Garnett and Mourning on the inside, and Ray Allen as small forward, all five positions are top-tier or quasi-first-class defenders.

On the side of the Chinese national team, Da Yao replaced Bart, Liu Yudong went off, Li Nan played the third position, and Hu Weidong played the second position.

"Da Yao, Da Zhi, you can play more baskets, or you can go down after blocking and dismantling." Zhou Quan said to Da Yao.

"Okay." The two of them were busy.

"Brush!"

Payton singled Hu Weidong, and after a false break, he received a pull-up jump shot and hit a mid-range shot.

Zhou Quan held the ball, and after crossing the halfway line, he found that the defensive formation of the American team was a little shrunk.

"Is this trying to trap me?"

He stepped up his guard because the defense of the five men of the American team was very strong, even stronger than the Bulls back then.

Sure enough, as he approached the top of the arc, Ray Allen on the left flank pounced.

He immediately passed the ball to Li Nan, but by this time Garnett in the low post had already pounced, Li Nan received the ball and jumped, and Garnett flew up from two meters away.

"Smack!"

A volleyball-style iron-blooded hat, the ball that Li Nangang shot was directly fanned into the audience.

"!"

Zhou Quan scolded a word.

"Ahh

After succeeding, Garnett was so excited that he roared at Li Nan, looking extremely vicious.

"Oh roar!"

The gymnasium also erupted in cheers because of the big hat.

"This should be the strongest defensive lineup of the Dream Four team, we have to be careful!" Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"Garnett can make up for the three-point line, so you have to be careful on the outside." Zhang said reasonably.

Xu Jicheng said: "Not only Garnett, but Mo Ning has the speed to make up. The defense of these five people is really strong, and the worst Lei Allen is also a quasi-first-class, or even first-class defense. ”

When it was the U.S. team's turn to attack, Garnett received the ball in the low post on the left wing and hit Yao Min with his back.

He played the longest time on the U.S. team, didn't rest much, arched twice, and couldn't arch Yao Min like he did in the first quarter.

No way, swayed left and right, and then turned around and made a big jumper.

"Bang!"

This time, he couldn't shoot under Da Yao's block.

But the Chinese team lost a defensive rebound, so big that it didn't jam Mourning, allowing him to rush to the basket and grab the offensive rebound.

"Ouch, the backcourt rebounding ball must be protected!" Zhang Li sighed.

"Dazhi's confrontation ability is still not good, and he can't withstand Mo Ning." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"Smack!"

At this moment, Mo Ning made a move, but he was slapped in the face.

"Beautiful!" Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

Da Yao turned around and grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, Zhou Quan took over to attack, and when he arrived in the front court, he saw Hu Weidong running out of the vacant position, and he immediately passed it over.

"Bang!"

The gloves caught up with Hu Weidong in time, Hu Weidong faked a real shot, missed a three-point jumper, and the rebound was picked up by Garnett.

When the offense and defense were switching, the U.S. team played a counterattack and fast attack.

Hu Weidong continued to retreat, Payton also continued to change direction, the speed was very fast, and finally Hu Weidong crashed into Ray Allen's body, Payton took the opportunity to break through and entered the penalty area.

"Be careful!"

Just as Payton made a layup, Kidd's shouts rang out from behind.

"What?"

Before Payton could react when he heard this, a large hand slapped the basketball he had just shot from behind.

"Zhou Quan? Well, Zhou Quan rushed in and capped Gary Payton's layup. Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

When the offense and defense were switched, Yao Min took a big step back to the defense, and the speed was not slow, just a few steps after Payton, and when Zhou Quan hatted Payton, he had already reached the top of the arc.

Now that the offense and defense are switching again, he immediately turns around and runs, with Garnett and Mourning on the left and right.

When he rushed into the penalty area, he turned around and looked back, and saw that Zhou Quan in the middle line had passed the ball, and he hurriedly took two small steps back to the basket, and then jumped to catch the ball.

Garnett and Mourning also jumped up at the same time to steal the pass.

But Zhou Quan's pass was too accurate, and he directly guided Da Yao's head and was received by him.

"Bang!"

"Tick!"

After receiving the ball, Da Yao turned around and got up again, and while the two-handed dunk was successful, it also caused Garnett and Mourning to foul the beaters.

"Beautiful! Yao Min held high and played to his height advantage. Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

Although Yao Min's ball played very well, the U.S. team still used this set of defensive configuration to play a very good defensive effect in the following time.

At the end of the second quarter, at 45:50, the Chinese team still led by 5 points.

In the third quarter, the U.S. team continued to maintain this lineup, but at the end of the quarter, 70:75, the Chinese team still led by 5 points.

In this quarter, Zhou Quan and Da Yao played a very good match, Da Yao shot 5 of 7, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 14 points in a single quarter, and scored 30 points in the third quarter, which is the person with the most points in the Chinese national team.

"Although the defense of the American team is strong, Da Yao's height advantage is really strong, coupled with Zhou Quan's passing and ability to attract the bag, Da Yao got quite a lot of opportunities under the basket, Mo Ning and Garnett can't prevent him, and the other two inside lines are useless, and they can't be prevented." Zhang said reasonably.

Sun Zhenping said: "It can be said that Da Yao has broken the inner line of the Dream Four team. ”

"Zhou Quan should attack with all his might, right? He scored only 22 points in the first three quarters and didn't score much in the third, scoring only two points. Xu Ji became a Taoist.

"He played 28 minutes in three quarters and only rested for two minutes, so he should have no problem with his fitness, right?" Sun Zhenping asked.

"It should be, he's also a physical monster. Since entering the league in '91, he hasn't suffered any injuries. Jordan is so durable, he fractured his calf in the second season, he is more durable than Jordan. Zhang said reasonably.

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "Before he retired for two seasons, that is, he fought a few boxing fights, and his body was raised for two years. ”

Zhang Li nodded and said: "Yes, this is very important, it will definitely allow him to play longer, with his current state, he should be able to maintain his peak after the age of thirty." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Anyway, in the next Olympic Games, he will be 32 years old, and he will definitely be in his prime." If we succeed in the Olympic bid, he will be 36 years old in '08, and I hope he can be like Jordan at that time, and stay at the peak of his age at that age. ”
