Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 122 Suppressing the US team!
Old K said that he has almost never studied the Huaguo team, which may be true, but it may also be part of his tactics.After this interview came out, apart from adding a little gimmick to the World Championships, it did not affect the morale of the Hua Guo team at all.

Beat Team USA!
Everyone worked together, without fear.

Fans all over the country paid close attention to this game. Even before the game started for half an hour, CCTV Sports Channel had already started the program.

Yu Jia and Sun Zhengping teamed up to explain the game.Before the game started, the two chatted about the lineups of the two sides and possible tactical combinations for this game.

"Some audience friends may often watch basketball games, but they don't know the difference between international men's basketball games and NBA games. Here I will briefly introduce to you. Simply put, the biggest difference is that there is no three-second defense on the international men's basketball court, and the distance from the three-point line is shorter, resulting in less space inside. What will be the result of this?"

"That is, the defender's inside line can always stand inside and not come out, so that the opponent's inside line can prepare in advance when they break through, making it more difficult for the attacker to attack the basket. Moreover, because the three-point line is shorter and the inside space is smaller, even if the first line of defense is passed by a player like Wade, the second line of defense can be immediately organized. The space is small so it is easier to fill the position, which means that the time for others to run to this place is shortened. It will be hard."

"The U.S. team is indeed the most dominant basketball team in the world today, but they can display at most [-]% to [-]% of their strength in the international arena, so they are not invincible. As long as Lian Feng and Zhu Fangyu's outside shooters perform well today, we still have a good chance."

In the ridicule of the two commentators, the game officially kicked off.

Players from both sides shook hands, Lian Feng noticed.

Paul said to Lian Feng: "Man, I won't show mercy."

"I expect you to do that, because that's what I want to do."

Lian Feng showed no sign of weakness.

The two smiled at each other.

Two NBA first-year students, already quite superstar demeanor.

The game officially begins.

Lian Feng took a good position.

There is a saying that if the Hua Guo team only played in the first half, they would be at least the top six teams in the world.

The starting lineup for this game is luxurious.

The forwards are Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, the center Yao Ming, the shooting guard Sun Yue, and the point guard Lianfeng.

No one is less than two meters tall, and they all have good resistance.

After the start, Lian Feng held the ball and advanced, but he did not expect that the player sent by the opponent turned out to be James defending him.

Strictly speaking, James' defense at this stage is not outstanding, but his physical fitness is much better than that of Lian Feng at this time.

The biggest gap between the two comes from strength.

This is Lian Feng's first matchup with James.According to the NBA's style of play, James is more to defend the opponent's ordinary players, and then put more energy on the offensive end.

But in international competitions, James doesn't have to be like this.The depth of their roster allows everyone to be a vanguard and everyone to be a regular.

As soon as the game started, Lian Feng felt the oppression of James.

"He's got a lot of power, he's got good speed, he can keep up with me."

Lian Feng controlled the ball very steadily, but had to continue to have a physical confrontation with James during the process of controlling the movement.

Physical strength drops quickly.

James had a serious expression, and at the same time, he kept spraying trash: "Don't even think about shooting three-pointers, you have no chance."

Indeed, Lian Feng had no chance to get the ball.

But can pass.

In the first few rounds of offense, Lian Feng took the ball across the half court and always chose to pass the ball.

It can be said that this time the Hua Guo team did not start well.

Lian Feng passed the ball, and Zhu Fangyu tried to shoot two three-pointers, but both failed.

The U.S. team took the lead in successfully blocking positions, grabbing the first few defensive rebounds in a row, and then speeding up all of a sudden, hitting consecutive fast breaks.

0-8 start.

But then, Yao Ming began to exert strength on the defensive end. First, he blocked Wade who was rushing in under the basket, and then opened his arms. The defensive line formed with Yi Jianlian allowed James to break through and pass a pot-throwing error, successfully curbing the expansion of the score.

However, the offensive end still hasn't made any achievements.

Lian Feng knew he couldn't go on like this, so he resolutely tried to break through in the next round.

He first made a pass fake, shaking James' center of gravity, and then immediately broke through to the weak side, taking advantage of Yao Ming's opportunity to contain Howard and Bosh near the free throw line, and successfully reached the inside.

Although James came up to defend, Lianfeng relied on an exaggerated pull-up layup, waltzed in the air to avoid the block, and successfully scored the ball.

James made a joking expression: "This ball is beautiful!"

Lian Feng didn't respond.

Successfully scored two points, but Lian Feng's goal did not ignite the Hua Guo team's offensive wave.Halfway through the first quarter, the Huaguo team did not find their form, especially James and Wade began to take turns to press Lianfeng, making it difficult for him to find a chance to shoot while exhausting his energy.

Fortunately, with their tenacious defense, the Huaguo team did not allow the US team to expand their score advantage.

The long-term ineffective attack made the US team a little anxious, and they started a further aggressive breakthrough.

James is in the same state as in history. He had too much fun the day before, and he was in no state in the first three quarters. He tried two shots in a row and failed.

So, he began to continuously try to break through.

Under the zone defense, James' offensive line was stuck tightly. When he swayed the two with a European step, he took off in the penalty area, and the oncoming Lian Feng jumped up without warning.

At this time, James showed terrible aerial adjustment ability and incredible physical fitness.

First of all, James received the ball slightly and turned his body facing Lian Feng to his side. When the two of them made contact, James' shoulders and back hit Lian Feng's chest.

Lian Feng was bounced off in the air.

After all, his strength has always been his weakness.

There are skill bonuses when attacking, and at the same time take advantage of the initiative to take off, and the confrontation ability is not bad, but when defending, the shortcomings of confrontation are obvious.

The fundamental reason is that the strength base of the body is relatively poor.

Then, after the confrontation, James quickly adjusted his body, twisted his body back in the air, threw the ball just before landing, and hit the board.

When Lian Feng landed, he couldn't control his balance and sat down on the ground.

James tensed his muscles, like a gorilla, and roared at the same time, showing off his might.

Lian Feng was pulled up by Sun Yue, and silently threw himself into the next round of attack.

He came to the top of the arc with the ball, facing the consumption of James and Wade in turn, thinking about countermeasures.

At this critical moment, it was Yao Ming who stood up!

Yao Ming successfully squeezed Howard, who was still very immature at this time, to ask for the ball. Lian Feng had quick eyes and quick hands, and used the gap created by the breakthrough to pass the ball to the inside smoothly.

Yao Ming doesn't dribble too much, a healthy Yao Ming is a peak Yao Ming!He just dribbled twice with his back, pushing away the monster, and then feinted to let the captain take off first, and then dunked hard through the defense!

This ball boosted morale very much. After the dunk, Yao Ming also roared, as if responding to James.

And this goal seems to have successfully opened the offensive valve of the Hua Guo team.

It was still difficult for Lian Feng to find opportunities, but everyone else started to exert their strength.

After Yao Ming scored two consecutive goals in the penalty area, the US team had to focus on Yao Ming.

And how could Lian Feng, as the field commander, not notice this opportunity?He started moving the ball to other players.

Zhu Fangyu's hands, which had been cold for a whole quarter, finally warmed up in the second quarter. He received consecutive passes from Lianfeng, and the shooting stability bonus he obtained allowed him to successfully hit two three-pointers.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian also hit two CICs.

The sudden wave of attacks caught the American team at once.

On defense, the Huaguo team also did a good job.

In history, what the Greek team relied on to defeat the US team, at this time, what the Hua Guo team relied on to limit the US team.

Under Lian Feng's organization, each player worked as one, meticulously implemented the previous defensive strategy, and their hard work in the first two days was not in vain.

The Hua Guo team played better and better, controlling the rhythm of the game with a relaxed zone defense.

The problem of Team USA not having a shooter is greatly magnified.

Under the targeted deployment of the Chinese team before the game, there were many obstacles on the way for the players of the US team to break through to the basket.Repeatedly failing to make breakthroughs and missing three-pointers again and again made the audience feel that the US team was in a state of embarrassment.

At the same time, their internal problems are equally serious. At this time, Howard is still a little tender against Yao Ming, and his rebounding and internal firepower are completely suppressed.

This is the US team?
This is the Chinese team?
Except for Anthony, America was blasted from the inside out.

As a result, Mengqi suddenly collapsed without warning in the second quarter of the game. In 2 minutes, they squandered their original 5-point lead. The Huaguo team played a 14-2 attack wave in the second quarter and successfully tied the score before halftime.

Lian Feng was extremely excited.Although he only scored two points at this time, everyone played well, and everyone had the belief that they must win.

After this battle, the Hua Guo team has full confidence in their mentality to compete for the world's number one!
However, when Lian Feng swept away his teammates, his heart sank.

Everyone was panting and sweat was dripping.

physical strength……

physical strength!

Will this be the ruthless sharp blade that cut off the Hua Guo team's championship dream? !
