Team USA starts: Guo Xu, Kobe, James, Anthony, Howard.

The starter of the Chinese team: Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming.

Kobe started today because he was in a state of excitement when training in the team. His training match was more energetic than playing in the NBA playoffs. He squirted trash talk during one-on-one matches and even glared at his teammates for death.

What he wanted to express was "My personal ability is much better than Reed and Wade, so I should start."

Kobe didn't talk to Guo Xu because he and Guo Xu were not in the same position, so he couldn't speak even if he was in the same position. He was at a disadvantage at the beginning of his speed, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the opponent rushed to get the ball.

Kobe and Guo Xu did not communicate in the training camp and would not go out together. Kobe didn't go to Guo Xu's concert. Kobe was both a substitute during the warm-up match, and he didn't play much time and had no cooperation with Guo Xu. Many media speculated that the two were not in harmony. If Kobe had been substituting, maybe there might be media saying that he was run by Guo Xu, just like Thomas was isolated and did not join the Dream Team.

When Old K Shashevsky saw that it was not possible. Maybe he went back to Kobe for an interview and said, "Old Coach K is a fool."

So he let Kobe start in this game to see if he can cooperate well with Guo Xu. If he doesn't play well, he will be substituted after he has reasons.

The Chinese team attacked first, Yao Ming received the ball from the pick-and-roll and hit a three-pointer in the middle, and the fans all applauded. He was the only one on earth who could still pull out and shoot three-pointers.

The US team attacked, Guo Xu gave Howard a secret code to let him come out for pick-and-roll, and led him to the weak side to break Yao Ming, attracting Howard, who will pass the ball to the empty cut after double-teaming. As long as Reed stands at the bottom corner of the weak side, it is a simple and effective offensive routine. The swinger cannot defend Guo Xu, so he can only go to the center and point guard.

When Kobe is on the right side, even if the corner is empty, it is not very threatening. Kobe can't make a few three-pointers in the bottom corner throughout the season, and his shooting percentage is about no.

Kobe knew that his three-pointer in the bottom corner was not good, so he chose to cut at a low position and asked for the ball on his back.

At this time, Guo Xu could still choose to play by himself. If he had a one-on-one challenge, Liu Wei would be the chance. Liu Wei is the top point guard in CBA, and it would be difficult to dribble the ball over the halftime after the NBA. He played in the Chinese game for the Kings, which is not exaggerated at all.

The Chinese team was afraid that Guo Xu would not do this. They couldn't chat with Yao Ming just now, so he said he would reduce the number of shots.

He is not the only one who wants to let the team go. It doesn’t make sense to play the host. If it is like 1996 and 2000, it seems to have won 5,60 points in the Chinese team... This is the opening game. Don’t expect Chinese fans to cheer in the next game in the United States.

Guo Xu took a step and passed the ball to the side of Yao Ming and passed it to Kobe's hand. Yao Ming immediately retreated and followed Howard who was cutting the blank. Both big men returned to the penalty area.

Howard's choice made Kobe very uncomfortable. Yao Ming can assist in defense near the penalty area, which will increase the difficulty of his attack. However, Howard's shooting range is not even as good as Bogut. What else can he do besides cutting the basket at a free throw? He will be empty on the periphery, and Kobe attracted double teams to split him and he couldn't shoot at an empty spot.

Like Kobe, who was partnering with Bogut in the Lakers, the two positions overlapped, and Guo Xu could not form a triangle if he stood on the wing right now. Unless a shooter stands at the bottom corner, Howard can only open it up at the far point of the left bottom line. Otherwise, Kobe may encounter double-teams near the penalty area whether he breaks through the face frame or plays from the low post.

Kobe relied on Sun Yue and turned around and jumped back. This choice was very simple. Although he avoided being double-teamed, he was hit.

Sun Yue is 205cm tall and weighs 100 kilograms. His physical fitness is comparable to that of black players. He can defend 4 positions. He jumped up and almost blocked Kobe, which was seriously disturbed.

After winning the rebound, the Chinese team made a mistake in the offense. Yao Ming took the ball from the low post and wanted to show off his pass to Sun Yue who was cut in the air, but the tacit understanding between the two was slightly worse and passed it directly to Anthony.

Team USA launched a counterattack, and Guo Xu passed it to James.

James made a strong breakthrough at the basket and attracted double teams to pass the ball to the right bottom corner. Kobe took the ball with a slight interference from Sun Yue. What surprised people happened. This three-pointer directly hit the edge of the rebound, and the rebound was picked up by Liu Wei.

Liu Wei had just taken one step, and Guo Xu accelerated from the side and reached out to take off the basketball, turned around and passed it to James.

James took the ball and started to enter the basket and attracted Yao Ming to make up for defense and pass the ball to the left. Howard dunked the ball with both hands in one step. 2-3.

The Chinese team attacked, and Sun Yue relied on Yao Ming to catch the ball on the right side with Yao Ming's cover, and Yao Ming cut off. Kobe replaced Yao Ming and followed him near the penalty area. Howard blocked Sun Yue for a while and then retreated to the near the penalty area to find Yao Ming.

Sun Yue made an easy jump shot from the right 70-degree on the right, 2-6.

Guo Xu led the half to play pick-and-roll with Howard, got rid of Liu Wei at full speed and then changed direction and passed Yao Ming's layup. 4-6.

Zhang Weiping, a commentator of CCTV5, sighed: "You have to double-team Guo Xu. He is too fast. Yao Ming bent down and is taller than him. How can you defend yourself?"

Sun Zhengping said: "How to defend Guo Xu is the key to whether the Chinese team can win."

The Chinese fans watching TV were shocked. Oh my god, do you actually want to beat the US team?

Yao Ming missed a hook shot from the left single, and Anthony took the rebound for Guo Xu. Guo Xu advanced to the frontcourt at full speed without fake moves, lowered the center of gravity and changed direction, and passed Liu Wei, passing the ball to James who was about to go down.

James forced his basketball to score 6 to 6.

If this lineup plays against NBA, Guo Xu will be confident of winning the championship with all the wins, and his teammates will have too strong personal abilities. He will not be able to withstand the opponent if he doesn't make the three-point line in the whole game.

The Chinese team attacked, with two big men covering each other, Zhu Fangyu ran to catch the ball, and made a three-pointer from another point in the middle. 6 to 9.

This Chinese men's basketball team is the strongest in history. There are two NBA players in the interior, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, who are both inside and outside, and they can rank in the top three among all teams. The three outside players can shoot three-pointers, which is a reasonable combination.

The US team attacked, Guo Xu passed it to Kobe after halftime, and decided to stand on the outside.

Didn’t the media suspect that they had conflicts? Guo Xu passed the ball to Kobe again and again, which was equivalent to clarifying it. As for how Kobe played him, he would do it.

Kobe held the ball and made a strong breakthrough. Sun Yue attracted Yao Ming to assist in defense. He passed the ball to the middle. Anthony failed to get the ball firmly and was intercepted by Yi Jianlian. Liu Wei received the ball and made a quick counterattack and gave it to Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian forced a layup against Anthony and failed to make a follow-up Sun Yue grabbed the frontcourt rebound and scored a tip-in. 6-11.

Many fans stood up and applauded. The Chinese team unexpectedly took the lead in the game, and even if they couldn't hold on in the end, they would make them happy.

The US team attacked, Guo Xu passed the ball to Kobe on the right, and Kobe forced a breakthrough into the basket, avoiding Sun Yue but was blocked by Yao Ming's backup defense.

After the competition, the Chinese team obtained the ball and fought back quickly. Chen Jianghua made a layup and was chased by James, and the ball was touched from the bottom line.

At this time, the US team adjusted its lineup, Bosh replaced Howard, and Wang Shipeng replaced Zhu Fangyu on the Chinese side.

Coach K knew that it was necessary to adjust. Howard couldn't open the space on the court. Yao Ming would keep slid into the penalty area to defend. Bosh's cameo as the center would be a little worse, but Kobe's offense could probably be opened.

Lao K can see that as long as Kobe is present, Guo Xu will pass the ball selflessly.

He is the most popular in China, half of his Chinese ancestry, he speaks Chinese terrible, and can write Chinese songs. He is just half a Chinese, blatantly letting go.
