Chapter 506
On the night of the final, the venue was full of spectators.Team USA's warm-up was like a slam dunk contest.

The voices of the audience came one after another. In comparison, the warm-up of the Chinese team seemed ordinary. It was nothing more than layups, shots, passes and cuts. The few dunks were all dunks by Yi Jianlian.

The final warm-up ended with Bai Weidong's ultra-long three-pointer and James' long-distance gliding tomahawk dunk.

The coaches of both sides give final instructions, and the game is about to start.The US team's starting lineup is James, Anthony, Joe Johnson, Hinrich, and Elton Brand.

In this lineup, except for Brand, everyone else is a new star who has emerged in recent years.

In contrast, the Chinese team's starting lineup is quite targeted, with Liu Wei, Bai Jidong, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Yueban in the decibels.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Chinese team has an advantage in the inside line, because Brand is a pocket inside line in his early two meters.

Bai Jidong smiled, "LeBron, you've talked a lot of trash these days."

"Like you, you also talk a lot of trash," James said.

Bai Jidong said: "My trash talk is different from yours. I don't just shoot casually off the court." "No matter what, I will win tonight." James said coldly.

"This is your last challenge. The opponent is the world's No. [-] US team. In any case, I hope you will persist until the last second and fight for honor!" Yonas shouted.

"Coach, you are wrong. We fight for the championship, and the honor is reserved for the runner-up." Bai Jidong smiled, "Go on stage and see what is so great about these guys!"

On the American side, Brand was in charge of the jump ball. He was really short enough, standing in front of Yao Yueban like a striker.

It is undeniable that his wingspan is very long, longer than that of Yao Yueban, which is his only advantage.

However, no matter how good the explosive power is, no matter how good the wingspan is, if the height is not enough, the jump ball will also suffer.

Yao Yueban won easily, and Liu Wei took the ball for halftime.Hinrich pressed forward, and he paid tribute to former Dream Team players in full.

The dominance of the American men's basketball team lies mainly in the oppression of the defensive end and the athletic ability of the wing players.

Defensive counterattack is the United States' specialty. Although Hinrich is a young defender with full potential, he does not have the defensive pressure of a star defender and fails to put enough pressure on Liu Wei.

Liu Wei passed halftime easily and passed the ball to Bai Jidong who came up to meet him.

Bai Jidong didn't force him to beat him, and then passed Zhu Fangyu, and Zhu Fangyu gave it to Yao Yueban.

Yao Yueban took the ball and stormed the basket, but missed the hook. James picked up the rebound and pushed for a counterattack.

Bai Jidong quickly caught up and stood in front of James.

Brand set a pick and roll for James.James made full use of Brand's pick-and-roll, allowing Bai Jidong to make a three-pointer.

His shot is very confident, as if he will definitely make a shot.

While that's not the NBA three-point line, James isn't a consistent shooter either.

He missed a three-pointer, Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound, and it was the turn of the Chinese team to counterattack.

"Your Majesty, don't you know that China's counterattack is also very fast?" Bai Jidong taunted all the way, advancing to the frontcourt and hitting the ground to Yi Jianlian who followed up.

Yi Jianlian held the ball, strode into the penalty area and dunked.

Seeing this scene, the scouts present wrote down their first impressions of Yi Jianlian: extremely fast, able to follow up fast breaks, and top-notch physical fitness among players of the same height.

"Good shot! We have to play like this. Let the American team know that not only can they play defensive counterattacks, but we can too, so that they will be less afraid of their shots." Yu Jia is very optimistic about the Chinese team's opening performance.

Chen Qi had a hidden worry in his heart. In his opinion, the Chinese team's wing athletic ability is too poor. "I hope others can withstand it. The US team's wing players are very physically fit."

Liu Wei took a tight defense against Hinrich and also against Hinrich.

Hinrich's speed is very fast, and he has the title of white Iverson. Although Liu Wei's speed is not as fast as him, he can use physical confrontation to slow down his speed.

Hinrich didn't stick the ball, and passed the ball to Brand after halftime, allowing Brand to solve this round of offense.

The person defending Brand was Yao Yueban, and there was a large difference in height between the two.

Brand's advantage lies in his flexibility. The moment he turned around, Yao Yue half expected him to do so, but he didn't react.

Brand's turn around shook Yao Yueban's center of gravity completely, and was about to make a shot when Yi Jianlian made up and blocked the shot, but was called a foul by the referee.

Brand made two free throws, and then the US team launched a full-court press.

They wanted to give the Chinese team a bad start, and Liu Wei couldn't make it past halftime.

Bai Jidong went to meet him, got the ball, and said to James, "Come on, Your Majesty, let's talk about life."

"I do have a lot to say to you." James' confidence was much stronger than before, and he dared to talk trash to Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong still remembers how James played against him in the NBA. At that time, James was very humble and full of respect for Bai Jidong.

Later, Bai Jidong's trash talk ruined James' favor towards Bai Jidong, so the confrontation between the two strengthened little by little until it became what it is now.

"You said you want to get 50 points? Let me see how you get it!" James said.

His words ignited Bai Weidong's fighting spirit, and almost passed James' defense in one step. The American defense had no time to make up, Bai Weidong jumped up, gliding and scoring a layup.

Bai Jidong landed steadily, turned his head and said to James: "If your defense is at this level, then I take back what I said earlier, because I can score 60 points."

Afterwards, Anthony leaned against Yi Jianlian with his back.There is a huge difference in height between the two, but their strength is not of the same order of magnitude.

Anthony's back hit made Yi Jianlian unable to parry and was almost knocked into the air.

Zhu Fangyu went up to double-team, and Anthony passed the ball out.

Bai Jidong followed and got in front of Joe Johnson.

Johnson made another pass to James, and Liu Wei made up for it.

According to this matchup, James can eat Liu Wei raw, but he also passed the ball.

The last open space, Hinrich's position is unguarded.

The Chinese team's defense rotation has been exhausted, and there is no defense at this point.With an open outside line, Hinrich made a three-pointer and made a hit.

Bai Jidong saw that this switch was not enough, so he said: "Zhu, next time I will double-team, you will switch." "Okay!" Zhu Fangyu knew that Bai Jidong was fast.

"You do have a group of good teammates, but that doesn't mean anything, because everyone present is my opponent." Bai Jidong released a group taunt.

Johnson couldn't take it anymore, and took the initiative to double-team Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong laughed and immediately passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu.

Zhu Fangyu jumped at the opportunity, dribbled the ball and scored a layup.

"Don't be angry, because this is the truth, you are all defeated by me." Bai Jidong laughed.

"hateful!"

Johnson has nothing to say. Although he transferred to the Eagles, the Suns he played for before were indeed defeated by the Timberwolves in the playoffs.

Needless to say, James was blown away every time he met Bai Jidong in the regular season, and the others were not much better.

Johnson's rage was reflected in his offense, and he wanted to knock the defender in front of him to the ground.

Zhu Fangyu was always standing in front of him, no matter how he rushed, he couldn't knock Zhu Fangyu away.

This is the result of prescribing the right medicine. In order to limit these jumping men, Yunus reused Zhu Fangyu, who has a world-class confrontation.

Johnson is one of the few American players with relatively mediocre athletic ability, and he cannot use his physical fitness to overwhelm Zhu Fangyu.

Bai Jidong's trash talking made him more and more annoyed, his mind was only thinking about hitting hard.

Zhu Fangyu resisted him, and then, Bai Jidong attacked from behind, broke Johnson's ball, and launched a counterattack.

The voices on the scene were loud, Bai Jidong's popularity here was far higher than that of the US team.

James roared, trying to catch up with Bai Jidong.

Bai Weidong stepped into the paint with one step, jumped up, gliding and splitting the dunk.

"Your Majesty, your speed is slower than that of a snail."

It's coming, Bai Jidong sneered.

James blushed, "Damn it!"

"No matter what you say, it's useless, you just can't catch up with me."

Bai Jidong said, "If you still have the dignity of a king, you can fight me one-on-one. I will wait for you in the backcourt. Don't let me down."

All idiots know that this is Bai Jidong's aggressive method, how could James be fooled?
He ignored Bai Jidong's words, and lobbed the ball into the lane in front of Bai Jidong, "You don't need to tell me how to play the game!"

"That's right, your style is to be a deserter." Bai Jidong laughed.

Brand's back attack was strong, but he was facing Yao Yueban.

The height gap prevented Brand from finding the basket, and Yao Yue was able to block his sight just by standing still.

Brand's shot was very reluctant, giving the impression that he hit the ball too hard to throw a ball.

Such a shot will definitely not go in. Anthony shot the rebound and fell outside the three-point line and was taken by Hinrich.

Because no one was defending, Hinrich raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, but he didn't score.

Bai Jidong protected the rebound, "Don't worry, take your time, we are ahead!"

"Yes, don't worry!" Yao Yueban whispered, "Give me the ball!"

"Yue Ban, let that dwarf know how powerful you are!"

As soon as Bai Jidong finished speaking, Liu Wei lobbed the ball into Yao Yueban's hands.

Yao Yueban is to Brand, just like a giant to a dwarf.

Brand couldn't restrain Yao Yueban, his height was flawed.Yao Yueban slammed hard, then concentrated all his strength to catch the ball and turned around, throwing away Brand, jumped into the basket, and presented a mighty gorilla dunk.

"Good shot! Dayao scored a slam dunk. The Chinese team has made a good start and now leads the US team by 5 points." Yu Jia said.

Chen Qidao: "Don't be careless. You can tell from the previous games that this American team is relatively slow. When they get the feeling, the game will really start."

PS: I personally don't like to write about the national team's games, but I planned to write about it at the beginning. If I cut it off, I would feel uncomfortable, not to mention that I am already writing.The chapters for the World Championships will be finished today. I expect the finals to be seven or eight chapters long, and I will definitely finish them today.When you are in a bad mood, or when you encounter those annoying plots, you want to write them out quickly. So, what information do you get from this passage?

1: I don't like the national team plot as much as you do.

2: It's the seventh watch to say the least today.

3: Vote!
