King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 47 Challenge the Great Demon King

While the fans in China were rejoicing, a post also poured cold water on it, because the next opponent of the Chinese team was the US team, the basketball kingdom that defeated Angola.The U.S. team is a well-deserved big devil in the basketball field. It has won 13 Olympic championships and 3 world championships. But as long as they don't take a nap, it is difficult for this championship to fall into the hands of others.In the most recent BJ Olympics, the United States won the championship with a perfect record. In the group stage, they won the game against China 101:70, and the score of 31 points turned out to be the smallest score difference in history.Many netizens ridiculed under the post, calling the United States?A 30-point loss counts as a win.Although it is just a joke, it can be seen that Chinese fans feel helpless about the gap between the team and the United States in all-round strength.

This year's U.S. team is not the terror-dominated team in 08, nor is it the strongest players in the NBA. The core is this year's new scorer Kevin Durant, who is only 22 years old. , and Derrick Rose, who has just been selected as an All-Star at the age of 22, is an emerging youth army.It can be said that this year's US team is not terrible, but the US team is still unmatched by other teams in terms of personal ability.

On September 9th, although many people thought that the Chinese team was not the opponent of the US team, all the Chinese fans couldn’t help turning on the TV, for no other reason than to expect a miracle. Even if there is no miracle, seeing the hard work They are also good.The starting lineup of the United States: Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Chauncey Billups, Lamar Odom and Andre Iguodala, this lineup can be described as a pure insider None, but has 9 top small forwards, has the most terrifying offensive and defensive conversion speed in all teams, Odom also has enough size, is often swayed to the position of power forward, and the big inside also has enough experience .

Before the game, Rose and He Yixiang stood together: "Student, thank you for leading the Memphis Tigers to the championship this year."

He Yixiang didn't expect Rose to greet him, so he humbly said, "That's what the coach did well." This conversation sounded like brotherly respect. At this moment, Odom jumped the ball and slapped the ball to Over here, Ross quickly took the ball with his eyesight, pushed forward quickly, and ran over Sun Yue with pure speed like the wind. Facing Wang Zhizhi's supplementary defense, he scored the ball with an anti-human drawbar layup. Rose completely distorted his body and scored this goal when he lost his balance. This goal made many neutral spectators stand up and applaud.

"But even though you led the team to win the championship, I still want the coach to understand that his best student is me." After scoring the goal, Rose got up from the ground and ran back to his own half. He Yixiang threw out such a sentence, and this sentence suddenly did not have the warm and friendly relationship between seniors and younger brothers, but a fight for the position of senior brother.

After dribbling for half court, Billups was the first to shoot at him in the rough to defend him. Taunt buff.Billups previously served as the starting point guard on the Pistons, which had the strongest defense in the NBA. In the era when the defense won the championship, the Pistons averaged 84.3 points per game, even in the Eastern Conference Finals and Pacers. As the starting point guard of this Pistons, he is naturally a top defensive player, and was selected to the best defensive second team twice.

He Yixiang had no way to get rid of him, so he had to organize the team's offense first. After a few passes, the insider Wang Zhizhi singled out Iguodala. He squeezed two steps and didn't squeeze. The strength was still insufficient. Wang Zhizhi turned around and turned outward for a jumper. , but as soon as he turned around, the ball in his hand was cut off by Iguodala, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. At halftime, Iguodala made a long pass across the court. Durant had already left Sun Yue, who was defending him, far behind, and caught the ball with a dunk.The score came to 1:4 in just one minute of the start.

In the past 3 minutes of the first quarter, China only relied on Wang Shipeng to score a three-pointer and Yi Jianlian's two free throws to score five points, but Captain America has scored more than [-] points. "Well, although it's a bit sad, I have to admit that this is the gap between Chinese basketball and American basketball, which we should realize, and when we will play back depends on when He Yixiang will perform." Director Zhang saw the score a bit Worried but helpless, there is indeed a gap, and the gap in sports cannot be made back with a passion, otherwise the Chinese table tennis team will not rule the world.

"That's right, Yao Ming was the strong point in the past. By virtue of him attracting double-teams, the rest of the team can play better. Now we have to rely on He Yixiang. If I want to say, he should beat Billups, who is 34 years old. I have old arms and legs, how much energy can I still have." Director Xu also began to come up with ideas.

However, this idea seemed to be heard by He Yixiang, and he also felt that it was not an option to continue fighting like this. He had to break Billups' restrictions on him and forcibly break through from the right with speed. "Hey, rookie, don't try to get past me." Billups is a very smart defender, knowing that his old arms and legs will definitely not be able to keep up with the young man in front of him. He squeezed the top with just one step, and made a lot of small movements with his hands. He touched He Yixiang's waist at an inconspicuous angle. FIBA ​​does not have a no-handcheck rule, and Billups would not It was blown, but it did block He Yixiang's breakthrough, but He Yixiang directly pulled up a mid-range shot at the moment of being blocked. As an elderly man, Billups could only watch helplessly as the basketball plunged into the net .

"It's beautiful. This ball is a manifestation of pure personal ability. When blocked, I immediately pulled up to shoot and scored. It's unbelievable." For many years, China has not had such a defender with explosive ability. Yes, Director Zhang roared excitedly. Every time he sees a Chinese defender dribbling the ball under the pressure of the traditional strong teams in the United States and Europe, it is a difficult thing to organize. Who knows? How sad is this old man who has cared about Chinese basketball all his life.

Xu Jicheng, who is also old, is also emotional: "It is true that there has been no such a talented defender for a long time. I used to think that Chen Jianghua was the one who was closest to a world-class defender, but now there is no doubt. He Yixiang should use it next. Talent to attack, don't try to shake off this experienced defense."
