Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 1162 Rotation is a Vulnerability
In the last minute of the first quarter, the Chinese team only scored one goal, while the US team scored two points and three points. They scored five points, and the point difference was narrowed to only one point.

Entering the second quarter, the Chinese team deployed a rotation lineup.

In the first quarter, Qin Hao played the whole quarter, Yao Ming only rested for more than a minute, and they had to rest, but coach Deng Huade still sent Yi Jianlian up.

However, compared with Zhang Zhaoxu, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, and Liu Wei on the court, this lineup is still far inferior to the lineup of the US team Chandler, Davis, Durant, Iguodala, and Deron. None of the positions are dominant, and they are under pressure both on the offensive end and on the defensive end.

"Snapped!"

"beep!"

Thugs, blow the whistle.

The referee pointed at Davis, gave him a foul, and signaled Yi Jianlian to go to the free throw line.

Although Yi Jianlian performed well, the offense of the Chinese team was still at a standstill. Others were either too hard to defend, or they were hard to shoot, and they didn't play any tactics. They only relied on the players' personal abilities.However, it is obviously not an advantage to compare the personal abilities of the players with the US team.

"boom!"

Yi Jianlian made the first free throw.

Qin Hao and Yao Ming stood up at the same time: "Coach, let me go."

Only 3 minutes into the second quarter, the U.S. team has overtaken the score and led by 5 points. With the current situation on the court, the point difference will definitely continue to expand.

Obviously, the team needs Qin Hao and Yao Ming.

"Okay." Coach Deng Huade called a timeout, replacing Zhang Zhaoxu and Liu Wei with Qin Hao and Yao Ming.

When Qin Hao and Yao Ming returned to the court, the situation improved. First of all, the offense became smoother. This is the difference between Qin Hao and without Qin Hao. Wei is much better.Only when Qin Hao is on the field can the ball run well and the tactical coordination should be played.

At the same time, Yao Ming still has an advantage in the interior. The protection of rebounds, the containment of defense, and the lethality on the offensive end are all that no one else has.

For a while, the Chinese team stabilized the situation.

"Pick and roll."

Qin Hao called for a pick-and-roll, broke through and passed the ball back to Yao Ming. After Yao Ming caught the ball, he made a three-point shot without any extra moves, decisive and straightforward.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

The audience applauded again and again, and the Chinese fans were all applauding.

However, there was no smile on Yao Ming's face, and his expression was chilling. The gap in the lineup was there, especially the rotation lineup, which was completely incomparable with the opponent. Only by playing at the level can we beat the mighty US team.

Quietly, halfway through the second quarter, the score between the two sides was always anxious.

The old coach K sent Howard up again, and set up a lineup of Howard, Davis, Durant, Iguodala, and Rose.

"The ball." Yao Ming asked for the ball in the low post, and the others pulled away to give him a single to Howard.

Several US team players looked at each other, do you want to go up to help defend?
In the end, they still didn't go up, let Howard defend alone, Howard stuck to Yao Ming, Yao Ming played with his back, the two confronted each other physically, and Howard still had the upper hand.However, Yao Ming didn't intend to confront him head-on, he backed up twice and then made a jump shot. Howard flew forward, but it didn't help.

Swish!
Still in.

"Again."

"Howard can't guard Yao Ming."

"What's so strange about this? He couldn't prevent it before."

People are somewhat disappointed with Howard. He is not Yao Ming's opponent in the NBA, and it is still the same in the international arena.

But when he turned around, Rose was a breakthrough. After hitting the inside line, he pulled the bar and scored a layup.
In a few minutes, the two sides came and went, the Chinese team could not defend against the attack of the US team, and the US team could not defend against Yao Ming and Qin Hao.

Of course, there are still differences. The Chinese team is indeed unable to defend. The US team deliberately staggers the two points of Qin Hao and Yao Ming, and focuses on the other three points of the Chinese team. It cannot be prevented.Fortunately, the Chinese team does not completely defend alone, and teammates will quickly go over to help defend.

On the other hand, the U.S. team is mostly single-defense, and the arrogance seems to be carved into the bones. They have to rely on single-defense to play with you, and there is no need for double-teaming or anything.

Unknowingly, the second quarter was coming to an end, the US team led by one point, Qin Hao advanced to the front court with the ball, at this time Rose was replaced, and Paul was facing him, Qin Hao made a gesture, and the others pulled Turning on, he looked up at the time, then suddenly changed direction and accelerated, Paul also moved quickly, and got stuck first.

At this moment, Qin Hao suddenly jumped up and made a shot facing Paul. It was a jump shot with an emergency stop. The basketball flew out of Qin Hao's fingertips, and finally pierced through the net with a "swish".

At the end of the second quarter, the Chinese team led by 1 point.

"I didn't expect that after halftime, it turned out that we were behind."

"Qin and Yao played very well today, especially Yao. He completely suppressed Howard in the interior, and he also had a three-pointer that Howard didn't have. It was only the first half, and Yao's three-pointer was already 3 of 2. Among them, the hit rate is astonishingly high."

Some American fans frowned, not very satisfied with the performance of the American team.

Of course, this is also because the Chinese team played well enough today, especially Yao Ming.

From the group stage to the semi-finals, Qin Hao's performance was better than Yao Ming's in almost every game, and he scored more points than Yao Ming. However, in today's game, Yao Ming's performance was in the middle. Above Qin Hao.Yao Ming scored 16 points and 7 rebounds in the first half.

However, after entering the second half, the US team further strengthened their defense against Yao Ming, and sent Chandler and Davis inside lineup, allowing Davis to match up with Yao Ming.

Davis is used to the position of power forward, but he can also play as a center forward. He has excellent physical talent, mobility, height and long arms, and he is actually more suitable for defending Yao Ming than Howard.

For a while, Yao Ming's offensive efficiency began to decline.

Coach Deng Huade simply replaced Yao Ming, let him rest, and gradually replaced the rotation.

But the rotation was not finished yet, and the Chinese team immediately fell into a disadvantage. The American team suddenly strengthened their defense and increased the intensity of the confrontation. Everyone on the Chinese team just kept fighting.

Sometimes the chances are good and there is no space left, but because of the fast speed and excellent physical talent of the US team, the Chinese players are worried about being blocked, hesitate to take shots, and their shooting percentage drops seriously.

"Hey, rotation is a loophole after all." Li Nan shook his head helplessly, looked at the time, and said to Coach Deng Huade: "Coach, 7 minutes have passed in the third quarter. Do you want to replace Qin Hao to rest?"

Coach Deng Huade didn't answer immediately, but called a timeout. After the players came down, he asked: "Qin, how is your physical fitness? Do you need to come down and take a rest?"

Qin Hao shook his head: "I'm fine."

Coach Deng Huade took a deep breath: "Okay, then you continue to play. From now on, you can take unlimited shots, we need you to stand up and score, understand?"
