NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 269 A Halftime Tie
After the first quarter, some impatient media couldn't help but began to bad-mouth the Chinese team.

Lithuanian media: "As soon as the Chinese team meets a strong team, it exposes its attributes as a pseudo-strong team."

Argentine media: "The U.S. team just played casually and led by 4 points in one quarter. Once the U.S. team gets serious, the Chinese team can't resist at all."

Japanese media: "Under the outbreak of Reaper, we are still 4 points behind the Dream Team. The Dream Team is too strong and invincible."

South Korean media: "Facing the US team, China is only 4 points behind, and they are already playing very well, thanks to He Xinghui"

Chinese media: "The lads in the men's basketball team performed very well. Unfortunately, the US team also broke out. Wade and James have played better than before. But we still have a chance."

The short intermission is over and the difficult second quarter begins.

This is a very critical time point, especially for those teams with lower substitutes.

Krzyzewski planned to win another six or seven in the second quarter so he could rest easy with a double-digit first-half lead.

Just when he was full of confidence, he saw the lineup of the Chinese team.

Not only Yao Ming, but also He Xinghui.

This.
The two cores appeared on the bench, and Krzyzewski saw that this was an opportunity to make trouble.

The US team here is Hinrich, Joe Johnson, Jamison, Brand, Bosh.

These are also star players, and they finally gave the country face. They came to the World Championships, and they had to give them some playing time to show their face due to emotion and reason.

Otherwise, it will be more difficult to recruit stars into the team in the future.

Therefore, even if Krzyzewski is vaguely worried that this lineup will not be able to handle it, let them fight.

The Chinese team attacked first, and Sun Yue advanced without pressure.

Hinrich's defense is not bad, but his physical fitness is average, and he relies more on experience to defend, rather than relying on physical strength to bully opponents.

Therefore, he can't press like Chris Paul.

If he doesn't press, his defensive skills will be useless, because after Sun Yue dribbles the ball for half court, he doesn't attack, so he waits for an opportunity to pass the ball, turning into a pure point guard.

Yao Ming was about to reach the basket, Sun Yue passed the ball, and Yao Ming singled Bosh to score.

Dragon King's weight is relatively light, and he is at a disadvantage in single-defense heavy centers. He is good at using speed to assist defense.

It happened to be restrained by Yao Ming.

Yao Ming leaned his back, gained room for his shot, turned around and made a small jumper, and the ball went in.

The U.S. team attacked, and Hinrich organized on the outside while waiting for an opportunity to break through his own attack.

He is a combo guard who can organize and score points by himself, but unfortunately neither of them is top-notch.

Of course, even so, he is a pretty good point guard.

Sun Yue was not fooled by Hinrich's fake fax, so he could only pass the ball to Brand in his heart.If he continues to rush, it is easy to be intercepted by He Xinghui's help defense.

In Hinrich's view, Brand has an advantage in playing Yi Jianlian.

In terms of strength, Brand certainly has an advantage.

However, Yi Jianlian didn't go all out with the opponent either.

When Brand took off and was about to make a shot, Yi Jianlian followed suit and gave him a big cap.

In the first match, Brand underestimated Yi Jianlian's jumping ability.

"pretty."

The Chinese fans shouted excitedly that they hope that the role players of the Chinese team can play a role and help the two stars, Yao.

He Xinghui grabbed the basketball, and then made a fast break. Hinrich couldn't keep up, and Joe Johnson could only foul if he kept up.

He Xinghui made two free throws.

He scored a lot and earned a foul.

"I shoot 90% of my free throws, what's the point of your foul?"

He Xinghui complained.

Fouling a player with a high free throw percentage is actually a loss. Joe Johnson did this to express an attitude to He Xinghui, don't try to shoot easily.

In this way, He Xinghui's next shot might not be so resolute.

Of course, it's only possible.

32 to 32, the score was instantly tied.

Krzyzewski was not in a hurry and continued to let the players play.

The U.S. team attacked, Jamison attacked Du Feng, He Xinghui assisted in defending interference, and the goal was missed.

Compared with Wade James Anthony, the players in this bench did not pay enough attention to this game, and they played more casually.

Wade was anxious off the court, wishing he could ask the coach to play.

Unfortunately, he can't.

On the court, the Chinese team seized the opportunity, He Xinghui made a three-pointer and scored.

32 to 35, the Chinese team directly surpassed by 3 points.

"Nice job."

Chinese fans directly climax.

Even a temporary lead is enough to make them excited.

Krzyzewski remained unmoved, he had the confidence.

The US team counterattacked, Joe Johnson and Hinrich played a pick-and-roll, and then Joe Johnson singled out Sun Yue, easily swaying Sun Yue to the basket and layup.

Even as a substitute, their strength is super strong.

The lagging behind just now was mainly due to being caught off guard.

The Chinese team counterattacked, and He Xinghui made a shot.

The goal was missed, and some spectators in the United States couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They were afraid when they saw He Xinghui make a shot, because He Xinghui's shooting rate was too high, and they all had an illusion that as long as He Xinghui shot, he would make a hit.

Not only American fans think this way, even Zhang Lili has been affected.

The goal was missed, and Zhang Reasonable said: "Unfortunately, the difficulty of this goal is lower than the previous ones. It's unreasonable to miss it."

"Well, to be honest, it's reasonable not to get in. Ah Xing's hit rate is already very high now."

Sun Zhengping complained.

In this era, the overall shooting percentage of a team is basically around 45%, and no team can reach [-]%.

Therefore, when watching the game, the probability of seeing a missed shot is far greater than that of a goal.

The US team attacked and Bosh contributed an iron.

At the transition of offense and defense, He Xinghui attracted double-teams and scored the ball. The ball went to Du Feng. Jamison made up the defense. Yi Jianlian blocked Bosh.

In this attack, all five members of the Chinese team played a role and participated in the attack.

34 to 37, the Chinese team once again led by 3 points.

After a few more rounds, the score came to 38 to 43, and the Chinese team led by 5 points.

Krzyzewski had originally hoped that Joe Johnson and others could rely on their own personal ability to support them, but now he didn't have the courage to continue to give them opportunities.

Krzyzewski called a timeout, replaced Wade, James, and Howard, and explained the tactics at the same time: "Go in, foul Yao Ming, and beat Yao Ming. Without Yao Ming, one can't stop you .”

The game continued. Wade made a breakthrough just after playing, fouled Yao Ming and made two free throws.

Both Wade and James are in good shape today.

Offensive and defensive transition, He Xinghui strikes again.

Probability is a very mysterious thing. A 50% hit rate may hit several times in a row, or it may hit several times in a row.

The US team counterattacked, and James squeezed Du Feng away and went to the basket.

Yao Ming was caught in a tangle, not knowing whether to block the shot or not.

If you don't reach out, you can only watch the opponent score points, but if you reach out, it is easy to foul.

He has already committed two offenses, and the international rule is five offenses. His current situation is actually a bit dangerous.

Before he had time to think so much, Yao Ming jumped up and stretched out his hand.

The whistle sounded and the referee called Yao Ming for a foul.

Yunus was so angry that he protested to the referee.

The result, of course, is that the protest is invalid.

There is no way, Yonas can only replace Yao Ming who has committed 3 offenses.

It's too dangerous, and there are still 20 minutes to play in the second half.

James stood at the free throw line and missed two free throws embarrassingly.

Krzyzewski, however, was still satisfied.

Beating Yao Ming is more important than 2 points.

The Chinese team attacked, and the burden of offense fell to He Xinghui all of a sudden, and the US team was better able to defend in a targeted manner.

He Xinghui caught the ball to attract double-teams, and then split the ball.

Du Feng made a mid-range shot and scored.

Finally, it did not live up to the expectations of the fans.

However, it is too early to be happy now.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Hinrich directly to the inside lob.

Without Yao Ming, Howard tosses the rivers and seas under the basket, taking off and catching dunks, which is quite beautiful.

The offense and defense switched, He Xinghui continued to score the ball, but Du Feng missed the shot.

In turn, the US team scored inside again.

42 to 45, the Chinese team is still ahead, but the situation is critical.

He Xinghui is the musketeer of the Chinese team, and Yao Ming is the defensive gate.

This US team is mainly based on inside scoring, and Yao Ming restrained his opponents to a certain extent.Now without Yao Ming, the US team should not score too easily.

Wade kills the basket, James kills the basket, Howard eats hard.

Soon, the US team overtook the game.

The Chinese team is also constantly scoring points, but the efficiency is not as good as the US team.

The US team must score almost every goal, while the Chinese team depends entirely on He Xinghui's touch.

At this point, some role players have become afraid to shoot, feeling a lot of pressure.

54 to 50, with 1 minute left in the first half, the US team led by 4 points.

In this quarter, the two teams took the lead alternately and played quite fiercely.

The Chinese team attacked, and just after halftime, He Xinghui was double-teamed without the ball in his hands.

"It's too much for you two, it's not good to irritate me like this."

He Xinghui said.

It's okay to double-team with the ball, and double-team without the ball.

"Oh, what a bad method, I want to see it."

Wade said.

He Xinghui took a few steps back, and then accelerated to one side. In this way, only Wade could keep up, and James was a few steps behind.

While running, He Xinghui reached out for the ball.

The chance was not very good, but Sun Yue still passed the ball.

He Xinghui received the ball without any adjustments, took off while running, and then shot.

This is completely blind gold coin throwing.

Wade followed suit, but missed.

But he didn't panic, he didn't believe that a person floating in the air could still shoot a three-pointer, it was unscientific.

"I feel sorry for my cousin, I have been forced to throw it away."

Barkley sighed.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the basketball fell into the net.

Smith couldn't help laughing from the sidelines, his face was slapped.

On the court, He Xinghui also responded to Wade: "You have seen it, if you don't want me to explode, just be quiet in front of me."

"Fuck you, I don't believe it."

Wade is angry.

If he really became obedient and quiet, didn't he say that he was afraid of He Xinghui?

This, Wade absolutely can not do.

54 to 53, the US team attacked.

Wade rushed to He Xinghui hard, and He Xinghui didn't react at the first step, and then Wade rushed over.

Of course, no one can say that Wade's breakthrough will be able to defend against it.

At his peak, Wade relied on this trick to make a living. How could it be so easy to crack.

Goal scored, 56 to 53.

Wade hammered his chest, making James beside him drool.

He felt that working with Wade seemed pretty good too.

The only trouble is, Wade just won the FMVP, it is impossible to go to Cleveland.

The Chinese team counterattacked, and Du Feng came to help He Xinghui block early and prevent James from double-teaming.

Facing a Wade, He Xinghui received the ball calmly, then bullied him with his height, and shot directly.

In the eyes of outsiders, He Xinghui is betting on his hand.

However, He Xinghui had already used a must hit.

He should try his best to ensure that he does not lose to the US team in the first half, which can relieve the psychological pressure on his teammates and create a feeling that he can compete with the US team.

Wade didn't cover it, and those interference effects can be ignored.

Go in again.

56 to 56, the two teams tied again.

"Dry, beautiful."

"Fuck, this shot is so fucking hard."

"Take my knee."

This goal once again ignited the hopes of Chinese fans.

Under such an unfavorable situation, it is amazing to be able to catch up with the score.

This is not over yet, the US team still has time for the final attack.

Wade dribbled the ball outside to control the time, and He Xinghui was single-defense, and he didn't stop talking: "Don't control the time, you are not good at this."

Wade was furious when he heard the words, and wanted to control the time.

With only 3 seconds left, Wade started.

He Xinghui followed the first step, Wade changed direction, and He Xinghui continued to follow.

Then, Wade was embarrassed.

It's not very good to pass the ball and throw the pot, and it's too late in time.

In desperation, Wade could only walk to the black one by one, ready to take two steps back to score a long two points.

As soon as he retreated, He Xinghui posted it, not even giving Wade a chance to call, leaving him no room to jump.

When Wade still wants to adjust, the game time is up.

"A superb defense, textbook play."

Barkley commented.

"Wade is still a little careless. It would be better to hand over this attack to James."

Smith said.

"At the end of the first half, the two teams drew. Maybe many people didn't expect it, but all of this was within my expectation."

Barkley boasted brazenly. Before the game, he just said that the game would be very anxious.

"It's really unexpected. The Dream Team is actually playing very well. The offense is very efficient and the defense is also in place."

Smith chatted about how he felt.

In this game, the dream team seemed to have the advantage all the time, but the result was a tie, which is very puzzling.

Barkley gave the answer, explaining: "It's a pity that this seemingly perfect defense has encountered an unsolvable offense."

In this game, He Xinghui made many difficult shots, and even made two incredible goals.

In the eyes of some fans, the US team did not lead because of bad luck.
