Chapter 1021: 1021. Goal: Let the little giant sit on the bench(1/2)
Chapter 1021 1021. Goal update: Let the little giant sit on the bench!
During this period, Wade developed a low-post offense. It was not a traditional low-post offense, but a mid-post attack imitating Liu Xiu and Hill.
Although part of the meniscus was removed from another knee, and the explosive speed was also affected to a certain extent, the overall strength is stronger than before!
Liu Xiu, who had been beaten, was in high spirits.
Kobe, Anthony, Paul, Hinrich...after that, it was Wade's turn!
Beating the opponent's entire team in wheel battles, Liu Xiu likes it!
Maybe there will never be such a strong dream team again in the future. This is the only chance to meet, and he wants to enjoy this moment.
Just enjoy!
Unlike every player on the opposite side who gradually fell into a crazy state of mind, Liu Xiu's current idea was simple - put the ball into the opposite basket.
He is enjoying the game against his true dream team that he can only play against once in a lifetime!
Wade led the team to score 8 points in the next more than 3 minutes, and his performance was not bad. In addition, when he faced Yao Ming in a one-on-one turn and put the ball in the basket, the U.S. team scored 10 points in 4 minutes, 6 of which
The points were scored by Wade.
But there is still a gap compared to Liu Xiu. During this period, the Chinese team scored 11 points!
Yi Jianlian scored a put-back dunk, Liu Xiu made a counterattack dunk and a mid-range shot against the defense after a pick-and-roll, Yao Ming made two free throws due to a foul in singles, and Wang Zhizhi, who was on the rotation, suddenly scored a three-pointer from the top arc.
Coupled with Liu Xiu's three-pointer at the beginning of the second quarter, the Chinese team scored 14 points!
56 to 46, the Chinese team’s lead expanded to 10 points!
During the timeout, Wade was replaced and he was beaten by Liu Xiu!
It's really a shame, everyone can see it, Wade is trying his best, but Liu Xiu seems to be playing.
Wade was replaced and sat on the bench unwillingly. He was the one who felt the most.
He could clearly feel Liu Xiu's joy, not the joy of playing against him, but the joy of enjoying the game.
In addition to being unwilling to give up, Wade is still at a loss - is it possible for him to surpass Liu Xiu?
Liu Xiu, who was in the same class and was of similar age, was the one Wade always wanted to surpass. However, after five years of competing in the professional arena, he found that the gap between him and Liu Xiu never seemed to get smaller.
Confusion and helplessness spread in Wade's heart...
Wade was driven to the point of self-isolation. Kobe and Anthony, who took over the main attack, started a duel with Liu Xiu again.
Compared with Wade who is thinking about all things, Kobe and Anthony have a simple idea - beat him!
When Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming were on the court at the same time, the team led by Kobe and Anthony was also at a disadvantage. The Chinese team played a 12-9 run and the score reached 68-55, but there were more than 3 minutes left in the first half.
, after Yao Ming was replaced by Yi Jianlian, the U.S. team defeated the Chinese team 11 to 7.
At halftime, 66 to 75, the US team narrowed the point difference to single digits.
Although they were still behind by a large margin, Liu Xiu's half-time performance of 31 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block can only be described as terrible.
The Chinese fans all raised the slogan "Invincible", which the American team's translator translated very straightforwardly and meaninglessly - No. 1 in the world.
The world is invincible. A more accurate translation is that no one is his opponent under the blue sky, but there is God above the blue sky.
But the American team saw hope in the last few minutes of the first half!
Although Liu Xiu is strong, the Chinese team's insiders are weak. Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi can cope with this level of competition with ease, but Yi Jianlian can only hold on. The other insiders of the Chinese team...are hindered when they come on the court, seriously.
As a super center, Yao Ming's biggest flaw is his physical strength!
In a game of this level, Yao Ming can only play 25 to 30 minutes at most. If he plays more than that, it will be difficult to guarantee his dominance against Kwame Brown and Howard.
Although those two are suppressed by Yao Ming on both offense and defense, they are already two of the best defensive centers in the world today. Once Yao Ming shows a tendency to decline in physical strength, these two people can cause him trouble.
Old K concluded that the Silver Fox would not let this situation happen and would definitely choose to replace Yao Ming and rest.
Yao Ming takes a rest and his inside strength declines. Yao Ming continues to play on the court and his performance declines due to physical problems, resulting in a decline in his inside strength. Smart people will choose the former.
Old K is sure that this period of time is their chance to make a comeback!
At the end of the halftime break, when they returned to the court, Old K once again emphasized the precautions to the players before returning to the bench and sitting down.
After the joy of finally discovering the chance of reversal faded, his shame emerged.
Now he actually feels so happy when he finds a chance to win? He is coaching a dream team!
But I lost the year before last...
Suddenly he no longer wanted to continue coaching the national team.
But it seems that the initiative is not in his hands...
If we lose tonight, there is no doubt that there is no hope of renewing the contract, and there will be no need to continue coaching.
But even if he wins, he doesn't want to continue coaching and is ready to resign voluntarily.
Looking at the two assistant coaches D'Antoni and Popovich beside him, Old K unconsciously felt sympathy.
I have to fight Liu Xiu so many times a year...
When I look at the other two assistant coaches, Huo Tuo and Jim Boeheim, I feel envious. The former has been an assistant coach at Liu Xiu's club for several years, and the latter is Liu Xiu's boss and his guide at the beginning of his basketball career...
It is said that her daughter even climbed into Liu Xiu's bed!
If Boyheim knew what old K was thinking, he would definitely pounce on him and strangle him to death.
Your daughter just climbed into that boy's bed!
…
The second half of the game started and the fierce battle between the two teams continued.
Liu Xiu, with his buffs fully stacked, continued to lead the team to compete with the American team.
Just as the American team expected, if you wait patiently, there will still be opportunities.
In the first half of the third quarter, the Chinese team relied on the combination of Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming, coupled with Li Nan and Zhu Fangyu, to steadily suppress the American team.
But during this period, Old K adjusted the lineup and no longer let Kobe and Anthony play meaningless games. The opponent's lineup was strong offensively, but its defense was not as good as when Wang Shipeng and Yi Jianlian were there. Facing the US team, Wang Zhizhi played power forward, and Li Nan
Playing shooting guard, even if playing zone defense, the defensive end will be lagging behind.
At this time, the US team replaces the dual-core team of Paul and Kwame Brown, coupled with Deron, James, and Prince, which will be enough.
At 6 minutes and 11 seconds of the third quarter, when the Chinese team called a timeout and replaced Yao Ming, the score reached 93-80. The Chinese team had scored 18-14 in the past 6 minutes or so.
When Old K saw Yao Ming drying off and putting on training clothes, he decisively put on the combination of Hinrich, Deron, Kobe, Anthony and Bosh.
He doesn't know how long Yao Ming will rest, but he is very sure that when Yao Ming plays again, he will definitely play all the remaining time. The Silver Fox will calculate how long Yao Ming will play.
Silver Fox, as his head coach, must know better about Yao Ming's physical strength.
But Lao K can be sure that Yao Ming will not play again in the remaining time of the third quarter.
We must seize this time and narrow the score!
After the timeout, the Chinese team sent Liu Xiu, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi.
The way the head coach speaks when laying out tactics will greatly affect the players' views on the game.
At this moment, the Chinese team players felt the momentum of "a last-ditch fight" from the American team players.
The U.S. team attacked, and Kobe missed a mid-range shot in a single, but Anthony grabbed the offensive rebound. The second offensive layup was taken down by Liu Xiu, but the ball was taken by Anthony again, and he tipped in again... This time he scored
Got it!
Bosh is also very useful in international competitions. The United States team will move Bosh to the center position. Anthony's offense will be completely liberated. He can be as domineering as Kobe on the outside and as nimble as Scola on the inside.
Liu Xiu slandered: The talent copied from Brother Dong shouldn’t be a kaleidoscope, it should be called a wrench after being blocked!
During the transition between offense and defense, Liu Xiu caught the ball and advanced. He was extremely excited now.
The opponent feels that now is an opportunity and has the momentum to fight against the odds.
Of course he also knows that the next period of Yao Ming's rest is very important to them.
If you can withstand the opponent's counterattack and wait until Yao Ming comes on the court, you can reap the victory!
Silver Fox pulled him aside at the end of the timeout and assigned him a task. Before Yao Ming came on the court, he tried his best to overtake the opponent.
Even if we are overtaken, try to control it within 5 points.
In the following time, there are two trigger conditions for replacing Yao Ming. One is that the score is overtaken to close to 5 points, and the other is that there are 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Tonight, Yao Ming treats the three-second zone as his own territory on both offense and defense, and concentrates his remaining energy until the last 5 minutes. This will make the beasts, parallel draft picks, Bosh, Anthony and others doubt their lives.
But Liu Xiu’s goal is not like this...
After advancing to the frontcourt, he directly charged forward, triggering the 'strongest first step', and Deron couldn't stop him!
Breaking into the paint, he attacked the frame against the attack of Anthony and Bosh... and was blocked.
But before being blocked, Bosh was called for a blocking foul!
Hundreds of thousands of spectators at the scene shouted "MVP" in unison. When a team is likely to defeat the Dream Team, as long as the game is not held in the United States, there are really not many people to support the American team.
Liu Xiu made two free throws in the MVP call, and his personal score increased to 40 points!
To be continued...
