Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1160 Pride and Prejudice

Players from both sides came to the field and the game was about to begin.

The Chinese team is still on the regular lineup, and the US team's starting lineup is Howard, Durant, Anthony, Kobe, and Paul.

There are no power forwards in the strict sense in this lineup, which can be regarded as a "one big and four small" lineup, but Durant's height is sufficient. The reason why the old coach K sent such a lineup was due to his support for the US team. The player's self-confidence believes that there is no need to line up troops step by step.

Seeing the opponent's starting lineup, Qin Hao was not surprised and gave Yao Ming a wink. Yao Ming nodded knowingly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

First the jump ball, Yao Ming jumped to the ball.

Since the group stage, the Chinese team has never lost in the jump ball. Apart from Yao Ming's absolute height, it also lies in his seriousness. Even if it is just a jump ball, he never slackens.

Qin Hao controlled the ball and began to push forward. Just after passing the center line, Paul greeted him.

"Sure enough." Qin Hao thought to himself.

If it was another team and played against Qin Hao, because Qin Hao was fast, sharp in breakthroughs, and accurate in three-pointers, he would definitely send a player with excellent mobility and sufficient height to defend Qin Hao.

For example, before China vs. France, in many cases, it was either De Colo or Batum who played against Qin Hao. Parker's height could not limit Qin Hao's shooting.

But Team USA didn't.

Of course, although Paul is only 183 cm, he has been selected to the best defensive team many times. His defense is definitely the top in the league and he is one of the best defensive guards in the NBA.

In the NBA, when the 76ers played against the Clippers, it was also Paul who defended against Qin Hao. He defended very well in many cases, so in the eyes of the old coach K, Paul was enough.

"Pick and roll."

Qin Hao was not in a hurry, he made a gesture, and Yao Ming came up to pick and roll.

Qin Hao took the opportunity to speed up and get rid of it. The US team switched defenses. Qin Hao passed the ball back to Yao Ming. Yao Ming took the ball and shot directly.

"The Chinese team still relies on Qin and Yao."

"It's useless to rely on Qin and Yao alone. No matter how good they are, how many points can they score? Every player in our US team is as good as them."

In the auditorium, American fans were discussing.

For this game, it has already been dissected countless times, so people are not surprised to see Qin Hao and Yao Ming's cooperation from the beginning, but take it for granted.

The players of the US team thought the same thing, and they exchanged a look - later, we should pay attention to the cooperation of Qin Hao and Yao Ming, try to separate them as much as possible, maybe they can steal.

Fight back.

Paul advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he took a look at the situation on the field and passed the ball to Kobe.

When Sun Yue was with the Lakers, he and Kobe were still teammates, but now they were opponents. Kobe was not polite at all. He pinched the ball around his waist, first took a tentative step, and then suddenly lifted the ball up.Sun Yue's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously raised her center of gravity, and raised her right hand to block the shot.

But the next moment, Kobe put the ball down and slapped him in front of him. Yao Ming stepped forward and prepared to defend, but Kobe didn't hit the basket directly, and made a jumper with an emergency stop.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

"nice shot."

"I have already said that except for Qin and Yao, the rest of the Chinese team is useless. By the way, this No. 9 seems to have played for the Lakers before, right? But against Kobe, he can only be abused. "

Some fans laughed and commented.

But it didn't take long for them to be happy. The Chinese team quickly counterattacked. After Qin Hao reached the front court, he called for a pick-and-roll, passed the ball to his teammates, and then started to move. His teammates helped him cover, allowing Qin Hao to get an open opportunity. Taking the ball on the three-point line from the side bottom corner, Paul deserves to be a player in the best defensive team. He reacted quickly and quickly caught up.

Unfortunately, he is not tall enough.

Qin Hao jumped up, ignoring Paul in front of him, and shot a three-pointer against him.

Swish!
Also enter.

In the next few rounds, the US team strengthened their defense against Qin Hao and deliberately cut off the connection between him and Yao Ming.

Qin Hao frowned slightly, and began to feed the ball to Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian, and Zhu Fangyu.

Although the U.S. team strengthened their defense against Qin Hao, they did not double-team. They still defended one against one, but when Qin Hao broke through, someone would come to help defend, and it was only to defend against Qin Hao's shots.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Hao split the ball and passed it to Sun Yue.

Kobe stepped forward, raised one hand, and stood in front of Sun Yue. The other players of the US team pulled away together. They didn't intend to go up to help Kobe defend, so they left it to Kobe.

Sun Yue frowned, he was still a little timid in one-on-one singles against Kobe, but he did not hesitate, quickly singles, continuous cross steps, swinging shoulders, trying to break through.

"Why don't you go up to help defend, and just watch No. 9 play one-on-one?" A fan asked, frowning, feeling that the US team's defense was a little unreasonable.

"What are you afraid of?" The person next to him said with a relaxed smile, "That's Kobe. Do you think that No. 9 can score on Kobe? Who is he? If it's Qin or Yao, maybe they need to help defend, but Now, uh"

Of course, where Kobe's strength lies, it is not easy for Sun Yue to single him out.

But there are others in the Chinese team.

"Left." Kobe judged the direction of Sun Yue's breakthrough, and quickly moved sideways, but the next moment he hit a wall of people, he couldn't help but yelled "No".

The U.S. team pulled away and let Kobe defend Sun Yue alone. It can be said that his attitude was extremely arrogant and prejudiced. He thought that Sun Yue, a guy who couldn't play in the NBA, didn't need to be too concerned.

But the players on the Chinese team didn't watch. Just before Sun Yue started, Yi Jianlian quietly approached and set a pick-and-roll for Sun Yue.

With this pick-and-roll, Sun Yue shook off Kobe, hugged the ball and rushed to the basket. Howard couldn't react in time, so he could only watch Sun Yue score a layup.

"Damn, if it wasn't for Kobe being blocked, No. 9 wouldn't have scored."

"Directly one-on-one, Kobe can make the No. 9 defense unable to move."

Some American fans shouted unhappily, but they didn't feel that there was a problem with the American team's defense at all. They only secretly scolded the Chinese team for "not talking about martial arts", and even quietly went to the pick-and-roll.

In the next round, the US team still played one-on-one.

This time it was Anthony, who asked for the ball in the low post, and then singled Zhu Fangyu, an iconic three-threat, and then broke through, squeezing Zhu Fangyu away with his excellent physical fitness, and rushed into the inside.

However, FIBA ​​did not have "three seconds of defense", and Howard had almost no shooting ability. Yao Ming stayed in the paint all the time.

boom!
Anthony was disturbed and the goal was not scored. Yao Ming took the rebound and passed it to Qin Hao. Qin Hao quickly launched a counterattack. He played the old trick again in the frontcourt, set a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, and then passed the ball back to Yao Ming.

This time Paul reacted quickly and quickly caught up with Qin Hao. Howard stayed in the middle and stood in front of Yao Ming. When he saw Yao Ming lift the ball up, his heart skipped a beat and he took a step forward subconsciously.

But at this time, Yao Ming changed to breakthrough.
