1600. A new golden age!

The cooperation between the Renyi brothers is incredible!

Oberto's ability to move and attack is far less than it used to be. Four years ago, when he was 29, he used the fact that he had no defense for three seconds to make Duncan unable to take care of himself. But now, at the age of 33, his condition has declined a lot, not only

In the NBA, almost all basketball players have a tendency to collapse at 30.

Argentina has no way to deal with it!

Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu cannot be let go from the outside. In the five games of the group stage of this Olympic Games, the former averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game and the latter averaged 1.9 three-pointers per game. They have a good grasp of the situation.

Yao Ming and Liu Mang created opportunities for them. Shorting Yi Jianlian and shrinking the inside line was the boldest defense they dared to do.

We can only start from the offensive end!

"Pablo, please think about what I just said...Hey, don't leave, you can't leave..."

Prigioni ignored Liu Mang's trash talk and wanted to change direction and break through, but the opponent's footsteps moved too fast and he was talking trash, but his concentration was not disturbed...

Feeling Liu Mang's defense as if he had woven a big net around him, Prigioni felt so shocked. This kind of defense was even more difficult to deal with than the Kobe Bryant he encountered a few days ago!

"Is this the number one in the world? It would be so miserable for anyone who meets this guy! Yes, he has won four NBA championships and a World Championship championship in the past five years..."

No longer trying to break through, Prigioni withdrew from the three-point line and made a tactical gesture.

Oberto pulled to the baseline, Scola pulled to the outside, Ginobili cut inside, and Nocioni went to the bottom corner to wait for the opportunity...

Liu Mang glanced at the half court and felt that it was very troublesome. The old man in front of him had really strong field control ability! Even though he was thin, he had strong core strength and was very stable in controlling the ball. With such a steady style of play, Liu Mang did not dare to reach out casually.

, the ability of the Argentinian performer is no worse than him!

Scola pulled out, and Yi Jianlian was ready to quickly change defense. His speed was barely enough for Prigioni, but... Scola pulled out and did not go up for the pick-and-roll. He suddenly turned around and ran back inside, attracting Wang Shipeng's supplementary defense.

, Prigioni lobs the ball to Ginobili!

Ginobili rushed into the paint with his devilish steps, and Yao Ming stepped forward to cover up the defense. Ginobili changed direction dramatically, jumped behind Yao Ming and hit a backhand layup!

This ball caused exclamations from the audience!

In the past year, the Spurs have accumulated a lot of fans in China. Ginobili is second only to Duncan in popularity among the Spurs in China. The goal just now was purely based on personal ability. To say that Prigioni gave Ginobili

How many good opportunities did Lee create? There really weren't any. Apart from passing the ball accurately, Prigioni, who failed to attract the defender, really didn't have much use. Yao Ming firmly guarded the basket. His goal was all thanks to Ji.

Nobili uses his feet well.

Wang Shipeng, who misjudged the double attack in advance, immediately said that the ball was his, and Yao Ming patted him on the head to tell him not to mind.

The game has just begun.

The improvement of self-confidence is very important. Now Yao Ming is very confident in himself, his teammates and the overall strength of the team. He does not waver even if he makes a defensive mistake on the ball.

Yao Ming did not waver, and everyone else's mentality was also very stable!

The offense and defense switched and continued to play positional battles. After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he made a gesture of breaking through. Prigioni was afraid of Liu Mang's epic three-pointers, which averaged more than 4 three-pointers per game in the NBA.

Because of his ability, he could only choose to defend. Liu Mang noticed that Ginobili, who was guarding Zhu Fangyu on the other side, had a tendency to attack from a flank, and decisively forced a breakthrough under Prigioni's defense!

Sure enough, Ginobili came over from a double attack, Liu Mang passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu, and Nocioni changed defense!

Zhu Fangyu didn't want to fight, and immediately passed the ball to Wang Shipeng, who received the ball and made a three-pointer...

Didn't score the first goal in the opening game!

But Yi Jianlian was unguarded in the corner, rushed in to grab the offensive rebound, and quickly threw it to Liu Mang who was throwing it at a 45-degree angle!

Liu Mang caught the ball and shot a three-pointer from a distance of nearly one meter at a 45-degree angle...

In!

5 to 2!

The Chinese team has taken the initiative!

Liu Mang is a defensive gate on the outside, which stifles Prigioni's talent in organizing offense. With Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian on the inside, it is difficult for Scola to play in low singles. Yao Ming is stationed at the basket, and Yi Jianlian has played well in the NCAA.

His defensive ability is well-known in the United States. Scola has played for the Eagles for a year and knows Yi Jianlian to some extent.

We can only rely on Ginobili!

In the first half of the first quarter, the Chinese team relied on the internal and external cooperation of Liu Mang and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian's mobility and the threat of the two pitchers to play a beautiful team offense. The aging defense of the Argentine team could no longer compare to what it was in 2004.

Or as defensive as it was in 2002.

The Argentine team can only rely on Scola's occasional low-post singles, and can only rely more mainly on Ginobili's personal ability to drive the offense.

In the fifth minute of the first quarter, the Chinese team called a timeout and replaced Yao Ming with the inside combination of Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian. On the outside, they replaced Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng's partner Liu Mang.

Seeing Yao Ming resting, the Argentine team feels a little relieved. If Liu Mang is the only player, they can rely on Ginobili and Liu Mang who are in good starting form to offset the situation. If the Chinese team does not use superstars both inside and outside.

, the overall strength of Argentina is still slightly stronger.

but……

They vastly underestimated the space potential!

This is a super rookie who can average 20.10 points per game in international competitions when he leads the team alone!

With Yao Ming absent and Wang Zhizhi opening up the space, Yi Jianlian has more room to move and can move freely within the three-point line. With the better moving space, Yi Jianlian's outside shots have become more accurate!

The most important thing is...the Chinese team’s counterattack!

Sun Yue followed Iguodala in the Rockets to counterattack, Yi Jianlian has super mobility and Liu Mang is the core attacker...

Ginobili thought he could take a break based on his overall strength and alleviate the problem of rapid physical depletion, but he had to continue to fight in the second half of the first quarter!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With Ginobili leading a group of teammates with stronger overall strength than the role players of the Chinese team, Argentina only trailed 22 to 24 at the end of the first quarter.

Two points.

In the first half of the second quarter, the Argentina team could barely maintain the score without being widened. However, in the second half of the second quarter, after the Chinese team brought Yao Ming up again, Argentina was defeated!

After 20 minutes of the first half, the Chinese team led 54 to 41 by 13 points!

The Chinese team studied Argentina's upset victory over the United States no less than ten times in the past two days and found that the most important thing was to put pressure on the opponent from the beginning, forcing Ginobili to shoulder the burden from the beginning.

If, like the U.S. team, they take advantage when they have an advantage and relax when they are a little ahead, giving the rest of the Argentine team a chance to tighten the score and giving Ginobili the opportunity to save his energy until the critical moment, dangerous situations may occur.

Ginobili was a super-inspiring player who could shoot 49% of the field goal percentage against the top five Pistons in the original time and space! A magic sword that could make even the strongest defenses in the NBA unstoppable!

But... the biggest flaw of the demon sword is physical strength!

In terms of confrontation, international competition is no worse than the NBA! Because the rules are more conducive to confrontation.

In the NBA, Ginobili can maintain a state that is as good as any super perimeter player for 20 minutes, but in international competitions, it is only the highlight moment of one quarter, and he is usually used by the Argentine team coach as the last key player.

But this time, Ginobili had to fight against the Chinese team at the beginning. Otherwise, under the impact of the three international giants Liu Mang, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian, the current Argentine team would not be able to stop it.

Liu Mang had 12 points and 7 assists in the half, Yi Jianlian had 6 points and 7 rebounds, Yao Ming had 16 points, Wang Zhizhi and Wang Shipeng each made two three-pointers, and the point difference was reduced to more than 10 points!

Ginobili has tried his best, but the good brothers with whom he won the World Championship runner-up and Olympic championship when he was around 25 years old can no longer give him the support they did back then.

Seeing the Chinese team steadily maintaining its lead, Ginobili could only lament the ruthlessness of time.
