Yao Min and Garnett jumped the ball, and the Chinese team attacked.

Zhou Quan held the ball close to the top of the arc and made a tactical gesture.

Da Yao in the low post on the left wing immediately went up to the free throw line, looking at the momentum to do a high block.

Garnett followed, and Mourning in the right midfield position moved a step to the basket, but at this moment, Yao Min, who had just mentioned the free throw line, suddenly ran back to the basket.

Garnett hurriedly turned around, but Yao Min had already grabbed in front of him, and when he reached the front of the basket, he quickly looked back at the top of the arc, ready to go around the front defense.

But this look, I knew it was too late, because the basketball flew right over his head, and it was too late to go around.

"Bang!"

"Smack!"

Yao Ming received the ball with both hands, smashed the ball into the basket, and Mo Ning jumped to block it under the basket and hit the former's wrist.

"Tick!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

"Beautiful! Two plus one, Mourning hitter foul. Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

"It's a really beautiful backcut, and it's a time difference where neither Garnett nor Mourning are under the basket." Zhang said happily.

"Zhou Quan's pass just now was really beautiful, and it completely shook Kidd." Sun Zhenping said.

"Yes, there is no waste of Da Yao's reverse cut. The opportunity was caught by him in an instant, and this passing ability is really strong! The ability to seize opportunities is also super strong, and ordinary people can't seize this kind of opportunity at all. Zhang said reasonably.

"Jason, don't let him pass the ball in, limit his passing." Tomjanovich yelled.

Jason Kidd swallowed his throat and said secretly, this is the Iron Fist King, the god of point guard, is his passing limited if I want to?

Just now, the Iron Fist King obviously made a pass to the right wing, but who knew that he came with a backhand back pass, and he passed the ball without looking at people, how to prevent this kind of pass?

After Da Yao added a free throw, 0:3, the U.S. team attacked.

"Attack, defend quickly!"

When he saw all the members of the U.S. team rushing forward quickly, Min Lulei, the assistant coach of the Chinese national team, shouted loudly.

Kidd ran quickly forward against the right sideline, with Zhou Quan on the left.

Gary Payton advanced quickly with the ball in the middle, changing direction from time to time, and Hu Weidong defended.

"It's Kidd who is holding Zhou Quan back, if the Dream Four team can't play the double point guard tactics, Zhou Quan's steal alone is enough for them to drink a pot." Zhang said reasonably.

"Not good!" Sun Zhenping suddenly shouted at this time.

Because the U.S. team played a fast attack, Da Zhi and Da Yao dragged behind, and for a while, the U.S. team achieved a short-term advantage in numbers in the frontcourt.

When Payton reached the top of the arc, he suddenly stopped.

At this time, Ray Allen accelerated, got rid of Sun Jun, and rushed into the penalty area from the left elbow area, Payton quickly hit the ground and passed, and Ray Allen received the ball and exploded.

At this time, Da Da Yao was behind him, there was no one under the basket at this time, and the closest to the basket was Sun Jun behind Lei Allen.

"Smack!"

But at this moment, Zhou Quan rushed in from the right wing, and when Lei Allen waved his arm violently, he flew under the cover and slapped the ball away.

"Beautiful!" Zhang Cheng shouted excitedly.

"What?"

The ball that Ray Allen was bound to win was fanned, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"Mine!"

Among the four inside lines of the two sides, Garnett took the lead, rushed into the penalty area first, saw the basketball being fanned into the sky, and immediately saw the opportunity to jump up and grab the ball.

At this time, Zhou Quan, who sent out the block, immediately stood behind Garnett, and the three of Yao Moning, who were about to be trapped, no longer hesitated when they saw this, suddenly turned around and pulled up, and came to Zhou Quan's head with a frontal hook.

He felt that with his height and reach, the Iron Fist King would not have a chance to block his frontal hook.

However, he underestimated Zhou Quan's blocking ability.

In other words, because Zhou Quan is only a point guard, his blocking ability has never really been shown.

If he's an inside lineman, just his bounce, nerve reaction speed, vision, and precision striking ability are enough to make his blocking ability and steal ability reach the same magical level.

"Smack!"

As soon as Garnett's ball was raised above his head, Zhou Quan slapped it very precisely and knocked the ball away.

The big man who was rushing to Garnett's side to prepare the bag was quick to catch the ball.

"It's great, Zhou Quan sent two blocks in a row, and when Da Yao couldn't keep up with the fast pace of the American team, he guarded our basket in their place." Sun Zhenping explained loudly in a very passionate tone.

On the field, Zhou Quan took the ball and did not play a fast attack, but stabilized the rhythm and gave Da Da Yao a chance to slowly return to the front court.

He knows very well that all of these people in the Dream Four team can run and jump, they are all first-line stars in their playing years, and their athleticism is much better than these teammates around him, most of his teammates are old and injured, and they can't compete with the American team.

The previous quarterfinals and semi-finals were played on the 28th and 29th, that is to say, with this final, three matches in four days, his old and injured teammates will not be in much better physical condition at this moment, and their physical fitness is no longer good.

They were able to beat the USA in the first game of the group stage, and at that time they had no problem with their fitness, they had no problem with their form, but today they had problems with their form, and their fitness was even more problematic.

So he must play at a controlled pace, and if he wants to play fast break, he will first drag down his teammates.

Obviously, the first attack of the American team showed that they caught the biggest weakness of their side and wanted to drag down the Chinese team with fast-paced offense and defense, so they must not play with their rhythm.

"Zhou Quan will definitely have to take on more offensive and defensive tasks today." Zhang said reasonably.

"The men's basketball schedule only started on the 17th, and there were some problems with the schedule design, which made it possible to enter the knockout round but three games in four days, which was quite unfavorable to us." Xu Jicheng nodded and burst into the back row.

At this time, Zhou Quan approached the top of the arc and saw Yao Min actively asking for the ball in the low position on the left wing, so he passed it.

Yao Min received the ball with his back to Garnett, shook it up, then turned around and dribbled the ball into the basket.

"Not good!"

Garnett hurriedly turned, but had already lost his defensive position.

"Slip to the bottom! Good! Zhang Li shouted loudly.

"Don't think about it!"

Seeing that the No. 13 big man of the Chinese national team slipped to the bottom successfully, Mo Ning quickly moved to the basket from the right waist position, and slapped Yao Min, who held the ball in his left hand.

"Smack!"

Yao Min was capped, and after the basketball left his hand, it was picked up by Garnett on the upper side.

"Attack!"

Tomjanovic pointed to the front of the court and shouted loudly.

Garnett gave the ball to Ray Allen from beyond the three-point line, who was one step ahead of Sun Jun, with Zhou Quan and Kidd in the middle and Payton and Hu Weidong on the left wing.

Lei Allen is a guard, ten kilograms lighter than Sun Jun, also a little shorter, only 25 years old, full of physical energy, speed is faster than Sun Jun, and a lot faster, dribbling the situation is fast, after rushing through the right wing three-point line, immediately diagonally into the penalty area.

But at this time, Zhou Quan had returned to the penalty area, and Kidd stopped at the three-point line, and Ray Allen could attack strongly or share the ball to Kidd.

But there was also a danger in giving Kidd, because Ray Allen had noticed that the two inside lines of the Chinese team rushed behind Kidd, and Kidd was likely to be capped when he received the ball, so he decided to come himself.

He also wanted to make a splash on the Iron Fist King's head, and no one could refuse this temptation, and he couldn't refuse it either.

And just now he was hatted by the Iron Fist King, and he really wanted to buckle one.

"Bang!"

With one foot on the right waist, the whole person immediately rose into the air, blocked with his left hand to prevent Zhou Quan's block, and held the ball high with his right hand.

Zhou Quan quickly moved sideways to the basket, and when Ray Allen jumped to the peak and was about to dunk, his body burst up, and with a wave of his left arm, his left hand slapped the ball with extreme precision.

His cap is not the kind of wait-and-see cap, but a percussion cap.

Relying on the full-level panoramic vision to lock the position of the basketball, and then relying on the nerve reaction speed and precision strike to take the initiative to attack, the opponent is halfway to the hit block, such a cover is equivalent to the middle interception of the missile, so that the opponent has no time to dodge the reaction at all.

"Smack!"

The moment it hit the basketball, the ball flew out of Ray Allen's hand.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of the Iron Fist King!"

was hatted for the second time, but Ray Allen had a feeling that it was indeed so.

"Beautiful! Zhou Quan sent three big hats in the opening game, all in the restricted area, and he was our basket patron saint today. Zhang Li shouted excitedly.

"Now Sun Jun got the ball and handed it to Zhou Quan, who pulled to the left wing and slowly moved forward." Sun Zhenping said.

"Today's defense is much better than it was in the group stage! Especially Zhou Quan, this is an all-out investment on the defensive end. Xu Jicheng sighed.

"It's not okay if he doesn't put into defense today, Sun Jun and their veterans are not very good in physical fitness, and even Da Yao is the same, the schedule of the knockout round is too dense." Zhang said reasonably.

Zhou Quan came to the left wing outside the three-point line, first handed the ball to Da Yao, who was back to Garnett in the low post on the left wing, and then immediately bypassed Kidd and quickly cut inside the box.

Yao Min was about to play Garnett singles when he saw Zhou Quan cut inside and Kidd fell behind, his ball quotient was very high, and he immediately passed the ball with his hand.

Zhou Quan took the ball and entered the penalty area in one step, Garnett hurriedly turned around, and Mo Ning on the opposite side immediately returned to the basket.

Zhou Quan stood up, holding the ball in his right hand and wanting to buckle it.

Garnett jumped, but Zhou Quan dunked with his right hand and blocked with his left hand, and his arm was not so long that he didn't touch the ball.

Mo Ning also jumped up and made a gesture.

But the next moment, Zhou Quan closed his right hand, flashed Mo Ning's block and handed it to his left hand, and then smashed the basket with the ball in his left hand.

"Bang!"

"Oh roar!"

When the basket trembled, the stadium suddenly thundered.

The officials of the International Olympic Committee and the Central Olympic Committee (IOC) sitting on the podium also applauded, including Samaranch.

"The pull rod under the double block changes hands and dunks, the Iron Fist King is so beautiful! It's all about showmanship! On the TNT commentary bench, Kenny Smith exclaimed.

"Well, the air stance is not as stretched as Michael's." Barkley said indifferently.

Kenny Smith's face darkened a little, and he thought it was better to separate from the Barkley, or else he would lose his job one day.

0:5, the U.S. team attacked.

It didn't bode well for Tomjanovic to get off to a bad start and eat three big hats from the Iron Fist King in the penalty area, as Tomjanovic walked back and forth on the sidelines, looking a little restless.

In the group stage, he did a very good job of circumventing the Iron Fist defense through a two-point guard strategy, and the Iron Fist only made two steals and one block in that game.

But today, it seems that something is wrong, and the Iron Fist King has strengthened the supplementary defense of the penalty area.

Originally, he was very confident today, because the average age of the Chinese national team exceeded that of the American team, and he also learned about the injury situation of the Chinese national team, and the physical fitness should not be as good as the American team, so he formulated a fast attack tactic, wanting to use the impact of these stars to break the Chinese national team.

At this time, Payton broke through with the ball from the top of the left arc, attracting the bag of Sun Jun on the left wing, Ray Allen got the vacancy, and Payton immediately passed the ball.

"Brush!"

With a knife in hand, Ray Allen hit a three-pointer.

"Alas, Sun Jun's defense speed is a little slower." Xu Ji became a Taoist.

Zhang He said: "When Payton broke through close to the left wing, it was to attract Sun Jun's bag and create an empty space for Ray Allen.

He learned Zhou Quan's style of play, which is how Zhou Quan creates open opportunities for his teammates in the NBA, so we have to be careful. ”

Sun Zhenping said: "This Lei Allen's three points are very accurate, and the pace of shooting after receiving the ball is very fast and very decisive. ”

Zhang said: "His three-point shooting rate is more than 40%, which is more accurate than Zhou Quan's three-point shooting last season, I can't remember how much, maybe it reached 42%. ”

"That's accurate!" Sun Zhenping said in surprise.

At 3:5, the Chinese team attacked.

Zhou Quan concocted the same method, and also broke through with the ball from the top of the left arc, the speed was not too fast, and Lei Allen seized the opportunity to pounce and implement the package.

"It's going to be bad!"

When Kenny Smith saw this, he couldn't help but blurt out.

Sure enough, when Lei Allen pounced on his side, Zhou Quan's ball flew to Sun Jun on the three-point line.

"Big vacancy!"

Zhang Li shouted.

"Brush!"

Sun Jun received the ball, made a three-point shot, and also ruthlessly raised and fell, scoring a three-pointer.

"Beautiful! This kind of big vacant ball Sun Jun will never let go. Sun Zhenping said happily.

"Look, this is the difference between Zhou Quan and Payton, Zhou Quan can create a big vacancy for Sun Jun, but just now Peyton only created a small vacancy for Ray Allen." Seizing the opportunity, Xu Jicheng touted vigorously.

Zhang Reasonable said: "Zhou Quan's passing ability is stronger, in this case, he generally waits for the opponent's bag to take shape before passing, and when he passes, the person who is in the bag has no way to return to defense."

I'm not touting Zhou Quan, Payton's passing timing is not as good as Zhou Quan's, this gap is not caused by simple passing skills, but a comprehensive result of physical fitness and technology.

For example, vision, the ability to integrate the ball with the ball, passing skills, mental quality, ball control, etc., and most importantly, the threat of holding the ball.

Payton's threat with the ball, how to say, is not completely one grade worse than Zhou Quan, but a few notches worse.

When Payton breaks through with the ball, he doesn't necessarily need to be packed, even if he is packed, in fact, it's okay to make a show, and the packer has every chance to complete the defense, not to give a big vacancy, at most to a small vacancy. ”
