Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1161 Forced to Change
After Yao Ming lost weight and changed his style of play, he has many new skills, such as three-point shooting, high position support and card dealing, and breakthrough with the ball.
I saw that Yao Ming passed Howard with an acceleration, and then grabbed the ball and rushed to the inside.

In fact, although many NBA centers seldom dribble in the game, it does not mean that they cannot dribble. In fact, their ball control level is very skilled, but because the center of gravity is too high, it is still dangerous to dribble too much.

Yao Ming can break through with the ball now, but with his height and speed, it is naturally impossible to make too fancy moves. In order to avoid the striker, he only dribbles one step, and after passing the defender, he hugs the ball and takes three big steps.

Anyway, with his pace, he can get from the three-point line to the penalty area in two steps.

The purpose of this is to avoid being intercepted and to protect the ball.

"Fill defense." Howard shouted.

However, Anthony is standing on the inside at this time. Except for Howard, the center, the US team does not have a strict division of positions. Durant is used to playing small forward, and he is still standing on the outside at the moment.

And Anthony's height was much lower than that of Yao Ming, so he couldn't block Yao Ming, so he could only watch Yao Ming throw the ball and hit the board easily.

Scored another two points.

"The inside line is not high enough."

"There is only Howard as a center, and there is no power forward. Although Durant has height, he is a small forward. Let him work as a power forward, it will definitely not work."

Now even the fans in the auditorium are aware of the problem. The US team's offensive lineup is sharp. Anthony, Kobe, and Durant are all good scorers, but the defense, especially the inside defense, seems to be a bit weak.

However, the old K coach did not immediately change.

Because the U.S. team has an all-star lineup and the players have excellent personal abilities, they always rely on offense and sharp counterattacks to defeat their opponents. As long as they don't pay attention, they will play a wave and take the game away.

At this moment, although the inside line on the field is not tall enough and the defense is a little weak, but the offensive end is very strong. Kobe, Durant, and Anthony, the three of them played singles, and they all played one-on-one.

Sure enough, when he turned around, Durant put on another one, changing direction continuously, Yi Jianlian couldn't keep up, was passed by Durant, and then scored a layup.

In the next few rounds, Qin Hao was feeding the ball inside, either to Yao Ming or to Yi Jianlian, nothing complicated, just relying on his height.

"Bang!"

There was a sound of explosion, and Yi Jianlian ate the pie.

In this Olympic Games, Yi Jianlian is almost becoming a pancake man.

A moment later, Yao Ming took the ball from a low position, and at first he feinted. Seeing that Howard was indifferent, he put the ball down, played with his back, pushed back twice, but failed to touch Howard.But Yao Ming didn't care about it, and then he made a half-turn, from the back basket to the front frame, and lifted the ball. Howard rushed forward, but found that Yao Ming didn't make a shot, but took a step up and down.

Swish!
Yao Ming made a layup with his left hand.

"nice shot."

"The steps are beautiful."

People cheered loudly.

Qin Hao also laughed. Howard couldn't beat Yao Ming in the past and was always educated by Yao Ming. Now Yao Ming lost weight and his ability to fight has declined, but Howard still couldn't beat him.

There are many centers with outstanding physical talents in nba, such as O'Neal, whose strength is terrifying, but in fact, they have inside skills and low-post footsteps, but Howard really doesn't have this. He is facing Yao Ming's accurate shooting, excellent footwork, and absolute height. Players, he can only be helpless.

In a blink of an eye, halfway through the first quarter, the Chinese team led by 5 points.

This made the American fans feel uncomfortable, and the old coach K frowned. Although the team played very well on the offensive end, the defensive end was terrible, especially inside. Howard couldn't defend Yao Ming alone, and there was another Yi Jianlian, most of the Chinese team's points in these few minutes came from inside.

On the contrary, Qin Hao didn't score much from outside, and Qin Hao didn't make many shots.

However, this made the old coach K even worse. Qin Hao didn't take many shots and the Chinese team led by 5 points. This was not the effect he wanted.

"beep"

The US team took the lead in calling a timeout.

The old coach K began to adjust, replacing Howard and Durant, replacing Chandler and Love, and then replacing Paul, replacing Rose, and dispatched a more balanced lineup.

"Protect the rebound and guard the inside." The old coach K ordered with a straight face, in a bad mood, he was forced to change, doesn't it mean that he was wrong before?

It's not really wrong, it's just that the US team is too arrogant.

Even for an experienced, calm and steady coach like the old coach K, when he has a group of all-star players under him, it is inevitable.

The Chinese team here.

"The opponent is about to change formation." Qin Hao said.

"Yeah." Yao Ming nodded and said, "You have to make more shots later."

Qin Hao didn't make many shots before, but the opponent will definitely change his lineup next time. It will become more difficult for others to score, so Qin Hao has to stand up and score.

Coach Deng Huade also changed people, replacing Yi Jianlian with Wang Zhizhi, replacing Zhu Fangyu with Zhou Peng, he stopped Zhou Peng, and said: "Your task is to defend, you must be active, fierce, and constantly consume other side."

The reason why Zhou Peng was replaced was because he was young, and he was the most stable among several young players except Qin Hao.

Of course, it may not be realistic for him to defend the opponent's Anthony or Durant, but it is enough to consume the opponent.

"Okay." Coach Deng Huade took a final look at Qin Hao and Yao Ming, and clapped his hands: "Let's go."

The timeout ends and both sides return to the field.

The U.S. team has changed its lineup and strengthened the inside line. In addition, the outside line is still strong. Rose, Kobe, and Anthony are enough to support the U.S. team's offense.

For the Chinese team, the offensive efficiency declined. Qin Hao began to increase his personal offense, either through the pick-and-roll to break through and score points, or in one-on-one singles. The US team did not double-team, which was a good thing for him.

In this way, the two sides will come and go, and the score is rising rapidly. However, the Chinese team still occupies the lead with the outstanding performance of Qin Hao and Yao Ming, but the difference is not big, only leading by 4 points.

After a while, coach Deng Huade replaced Yao Ming.

In fact, there was only more than one minute left in the first quarter. Yao Ming scored more than eight points, but Qin Hao still stayed on the court. He needed to play the entire quarter.

"Coach." Li Nan frowned and said, "We rely too much on Qin Hao and Yao Ming. If this is the case, their physical fitness will definitely be too much for them."

"I'm exactly what I'm worried about." Coach Deng Huade smiled wryly. Qin Hao will play the full game in this quarter, and Yao Ming will only rest for more than a minute, and the two of them will definitely need to stay on the court for a long time in the following games. The consumption will be great, but he can't help it, after all, there is a gap in the lineup.
