NBA: James wants to team up with me

Wang Chong, who played the full 20 minutes of the first half, was indeed very tired at this time, but he also clearly felt the effect of the physical ability value of 97 in the game. He knew that he still had some energy left in the midfield. A 15-minute rest period allows him to quickly recover part of his physical fitness.

Moreover, in the third quarter of the game with Yao's strength, Wang Chong does not need to hold the ball a lot on the court and mainly attack. He can stand outside the three-point line in the corner and, as an outside fixed-point shooter, put pressure on the Dream Team.

In this world, no team dares to let Wang Chong go. Even if he does nothing on the court and just stands there, there will always be a defensive player in front of him. This is the card of the league's three-time scoring champion.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Dayao immediately shook his head and tried to persuade Wang Chong to take a rest, but was interrupted by Wang Chong.

"Don't worry, I know my situation well. Besides, you will be the main attacker in the third quarter. My purpose on the court is just to contain the opponent's defense."

Although it is clear that focusing on one player to extract wool is not the right approach, it is impossible to truly become an international team by relying heavily on the performance of one player.

But when they heard that Wang Chong would continue to play in the second half, everyone in the Huaguo men's basketball team breathed a sigh of relief, including head coach Yunus.

The Chinese men's basketball team could still lead the American Dream Team after half the game. They would have never dared to think about it before. This was almost entirely due to Wang Chong's invincible performance on the court, especially in the second half. Festival, it is too strong to defeat the dream team by oneself.

Although they don't want to admit it, everyone knows that once Wang Chong comes off the court to rest, the score of the two teams will be overtaken or even widened in a short time. After all, in the past few decades, the Chinese men's basketball team has also had a match with the dream. The experience of playing against other teams, and there were many times when the lineup of the Dream Team was more than one step behind the current Dream Team.

On the other side, on the bench of Mengba Team, head coach Old K was also communicating with the players.

"We didn't play very well in the first half. Facing an opponent like the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, we were still lagging behind at half-time. It's simply a shame! But it's not everyone's fault. Wang Chong's personal ability is indeed far beyond my expectations. Unexpected.”

Having said this, Old K paused and continued.

"But everyone should be able to see that Wang Chong was very tired from the high-intensity confrontation in the first half. In the second half of the game, he will definitely not be able to attack like before. Therefore, in the third quarter of the game, we must go all out to overtake the score and If you widen the point difference, you will definitely not give the opponent a chance to continue to stabilize the situation!"

-

During the intermission, in the CCTV studio, the two commentators and directors were still sighing.

"It's really unimaginable that one day we will actually see the Chinese men's basketball team and the American dream team compete inextricably on the Olympic stage. After decades of development, the Chinese basketball team has finally reached the forefront of the world. level, this is inseparable from the country's strong support for competitive sports. I believe that in the future, China will have more top NBA stars like Wang Chong and Dayao to lead the Chinese men's basketball team forward."

Although they said this, in fact, the two people in the studio knew it well, and even most of the viewers in front of the TV knew that the Chinese men's basketball team could compete with the Dream Team entirely because of Wang Chong , without Wang Chong, the Dream Team would have no difficulty in handling the Chinese men's basketball team.

Wang Chong grew up in the United States and received a youth basketball education in the United States. Although he has now returned to China as a Chinese citizen, the credit really does not go to them.

But after all, this is a live TV broadcast, or at the Capital Olympics where the whole country is celebrating. Of course, we must know what can and cannot be said, otherwise how can we still enjoy the job of commentary?

Of course, the two of them only had a brief chat and immediately brought the topic back to the game.

"Although we still maintain a 3-point lead, the situation is actually not optimistic. The gap between the two teams' lineups is still too big. Wang Chong consumed a lot in the first half. After all, he scored 24 points in just half. With many people in the dream team taking turns to target and attack, every attack requires a lot of energy."

"Now we can only hope that Dayao can help the Chinese men's basketball team resist the dream team's fierce counterattack in the third quarter after resting for a whole quarter of the game."

The 15-minute intermission went by in the blink of an eye.

The game started again in the third quarter of the second half.

The lineup of the American men's basketball team has been adjusted again. The Dream Eight team, which has 12 All-Star players, is most indispensable for outstanding players.

In the third quarter, the Dream Team's lineup changed to a lineup of point guard Deron Williams, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Anthony, power forward Boozer, and center Bosh.

Obviously the Dream Team is going to change their tactics. The Jazz double stars Deron and Boozer are both on the court. They obviously want to use more pick-and-roll cooperation in the game. In this year's NBA playoffs, the Jazz relied on the pick-and-roll tactics to eliminate Yao Yao. The Rockets were eliminated.

However, the lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team surprised both commentators and coaches.

"Why is Wang Chong playing again? Isn't he tired?"

Wang Chong, who played 20 minutes in the first half, only rested for 15 minutes before he immediately went into battle. Looking at this stance, it was clear that he was rushing to play the entire 40 minutes!

Is Wang Chong's physical condition so good? Didn't you see it in NBA games before? Most likely, he is holding on for the competition!

The Dream Team obviously did not expect that Wang Chong would continue to play at the beginning of the third quarter, so neither James nor Prince was allowed to play at the small forward position, but Anthony, who has mid-to-long-range shooting ability, was chosen.

Therefore, when the two sides came on the court, the Dream Team directly arranged for Anthony and Kobe to switch defenses. Although Kobe, who is 1 meters tall, is slightly shorter than Anthony, at least his defensive ability is still far better than Anthony, who is not good at defense.

Regardless of the fact that Kobe Bryant did not live up to his reputation on several occasions, he was still included in the selection of the defensive lineup. If a player has a poor defense, he will not be able to win the defensive lineup award no matter how hard the league tries to promote him.

However, after the Huaguo men's basketball team served from the sideline, Wang Chong did not take over the ball as quickly as he did in the first half. Instead, he ran to the frontcourt and stood at the three-point line in the corner with his hands crossed. The waist turned on the fun-watching mode.

Now the Dream Team understood that although Wang Chong was on the court, he did not intend to attack on the court. Instead, he wanted to use the deterrent power of his shooting ability to contain the Dream Team's defense.

The problem is that this trick really works. Even if Wang Chong misses the mark, the Dream Team doesn’t dare to neglect it at all. Wang Chong’s three-pointers from the corner are no joke. His three-point shooting percentage last season As high as 41%, among which the three-pointer in the bottom corner is the main location to improve the shooting rate. It is also a hot spot for Wang Chong's three-point shooting, with a shooting rate of nearly 49%.

Instead, he often used the pull-up three-pointer from the top arc position. Although it played a decisive role in key games many times, his true shooting rate was not particularly high, only about 37%.

This is of course due to Wang Chong’s golden corner three-point shooter badge. Although it has not been upgraded to the top purple Hall of Fame level, the bonus effect of the gold-level badge is already quite high, plus the bottom corner position is just right. It can be stacked with the same gold-level hot zone hunter, enter the rhythm and other shooting bonus badges, allowing Wang Chong to have an absurdly high shooting percentage in the corner, especially in the open space.

Of course, the Dream Team, which is very familiar with Wang Chong's technical characteristics, would not make such a stupid mistake, so Kobe could only follow Wang Chong closely and hang up in the corner with him.

After Sun Yue dribbled the ball past half court, he lobbed the ball to Dayao inside.

Bosh's defensive effect against Dayao was not as good as Howard's. On the offensive end, he could indeed use his range and mobility advantages to sneak Dayao around, but on the defensive end, how could his skinny bamboo pole-like body be able to withstand it? Dayao's post-up play?

<divclass="contentadv">Without even any effort, Dayao squeezed his back towards the basket twice, then easily came to the basket, half-turned around, raised his hand, and easily sent the basketball into the basket. .

Dayao successfully took over from Wang Chong, and the Huaguo men's basketball team's offense continued.

On the sidelines of the American men's basketball team, Old K stood on the sidelines with his arms folded and his brows furrowed.

The Chinese men's basketball team has become much more difficult than he expected. He didn't expect that it would become like this with just one more Wang Chong.

And not only Wang Chong, Dayao's performance on the field also surprised him.

With solid inside footwork and offensive skills at the basket, coupled with a stable mid-range shooting ability, Dayao basically has no other shortcomings as an inside center except for his slightly slower speed and physical deficiencies.

It happened that the Dream Team only had Howard and Bosh on the inside, and there was no heavy center who could compete with Dayao.

In the past, they only had to keep speeding up and use their mobility to wear down Dayao's physical fitness, and they could easily win the game. However, the emergence of Wang Chong also made this plan unworkable. Dayao was defeated in the second quarter. I didn’t play a whole quarter of the game and rested for nearly half an hour. My physical strength has already recovered to about 70%. Not to mention that I still have no problem supporting the third quarter.

Ever since, the game on the field has turned into a competition of offensive capabilities between the two teams.

Deron and Boozer's pick-and-roll was extremely lethal, and it was difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to stop it.

But Yao's strong attack at the basket also made Bosh miserable. He even played for only a few minutes before he couldn't hold on and replaced Howard again.

It's just that Dayao is not Wang Chong after all. Even with full firepower, his offensive ability is still not as good as Wang Chong's. This leads to the fact that in the third quarter of the game, the Dream Team relied on its deep lineup to even the score difference bit by bit. Achieved overtake.

In the third quarter of the game, the two teams scored 27:20 respectively. The Huaguo men's basketball team lost 7 points in a single quarter, going from a 3-point lead to a 4-point deficit.

But this result has made Wang Chong very satisfied, because as long as the point difference is not so big that it is too late to chase points, there is a chance to win in the final quarter of the game.

Although he played the whole game again in the third quarter, his playing style of standing in the corner and hanging up saved him a lot of energy, and even recovered some of his energy. He played the entire fourth quarter at full power. The minutes are definitely not enough, but if you play smarter and make more use of energy-saving offensive methods such as pick-and-roll screens, you should be able to barely sustain it.

After the third quarter, the Dream Team started to panic.

In the previous game, they did not let go at all. After all, their opponent was the Chinese men's basketball team led by Wang Chong. How could they despise it? But the current stalemate situation is really telling everyone with facts that the Chinese men's basketball team is really capable of competing with the daunted Dream Team.

"In the last quarter of the game, we must not give the opponent a chance to catch up with the score. We are the strongest dream team in the world, and we cannot lose easily even in a group match!" Old K looked at the players and said Shen Sheng said: "In the fourth quarter, we must guard against Wang Chong and use double teams when necessary. We must not let him score like he did in the second quarter!"

-

The idea is nice, but most of the time it backfires.

If Wang Chong was targeting players who could be easily restrained, he would not have won the scoring crown for three consecutive years and led the Bulls to the championship.

The Dream Eight team defended Wang Chong tightly, but the Huaguo men's basketball team also tried its best to find ways to help Wang Chong share the pressure, frequently using pick-and-roll screens and even double pick-and-rolls to gain opportunities for Wang Chong.

Wang Chong lived up to expectations and hit two consecutive goals, directly tying the point difference.

The intense fourth quarter began.

The American Dream Team took the initiative on the court, but because they were too worried about Wang Chong, their defense of other players of the Chinese men's basketball team became much laxer. Instead, in the fourth quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team was unable to defend the outside line. Fewer opportunities for open shots.

Huaguo's outside shooters, led by Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng, did not stretch their hips at critical moments. However, any shot that appeared in a wide open space was basically successful. Therefore, the Huaguo men's basketball team was able to continue to struggle with the Dream Team.

The game time passed minute by minute, and the audience in front of the TV had sweat in their hands and their hearts were high.

No one thought that the Chinese men's basketball team actually fought fiercely with the Dream Team until the last moment!

Unconsciously, there were less than 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

The two teams were tied at 89:89, and the Dream Team had the ball.

Kobe successfully broke through with the ball and caused a defensive foul on Dayao. He went to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws.

The Dream Team once again took the lead at 91:89.

In fact, Kobe's performance in this game has not been very good. Up to now, his personal score has just exceeded double digits. The best performance of the Dream Team in the entire game is undoubtedly the substitute sixth man Wade, who has scored 19 points so far. , the highest for the dream team.

In the NBA, most of the 12 players on the Dream Team can easily score 30+ points in a game.

However, in the Olympics, with less playing time and more scattered distribution of ball rights, it is rare for a certain player to score super high scores in the game.

On the contrary, for the Chinese men's basketball team, the scoring is highly concentrated on Wang Chong and Dayao, especially Wang Chong. Until now, Wang Chong has not even taken a second to rest. Came to 33 minutes.

Among them, there were 24 points in the first half. With basically no shots in the third quarter, Wang Chong scored 9 points in the fourth quarter.

The Chinese men's basketball team relied heavily on Wang Chong's offensive scoring throughout the game. Even the reason why other players were able to score despite the defense of the Dream Team was all due to the offense Wang Chong brought when he was on the court. Deterrence.

Wang Chong's 33 points, plus Dayao's 19 points, Wang Chong and Dayao alone scored 52 points, while the other players of the Huaguo men's basketball team have only scored 37 points together.

But now that the game has reached the final critical moment, Wang Chong can still be relied on.
