Legend of Tomorrow

Starting lineup for the US team: Guo Xu, Kobe, James, Anthony, Howard. ◢щЩш

Starting line-up for the Chinese team: Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Kobe is in trouble today because he gets emotional during team training. He is more energetic in training games than in the NBA playoffs. He talks trash during singles and gives his teammates death stares.

What he wants to express is My personal abilities are much better than those of Reed and Wade, and I should.

Kobe didn't talk trash to Guo Xu, because he and Guo Xu were not in position, and they couldn't speak even if they were in position. They were already at a disadvantage in terms of speed, and as soon as the opponent opened his mouth, he would rush towards the ball.

Kobe and Guo Xu didn't communicate in the training camp and wouldn't hang out together. Kobe didn't even go to Guo Xu's concert. Kobe always came off the bench during the warm-up matches, didn't play much time, and didn't have much cooperation with Guo Xu. Many media speculated that the two did not get along. If Kobe had been a substitute, some media might say that he was squeezed out by Guo Xu, just like when Thomas was isolated and not included in the Dream Team.

Old K Krzyzewski couldn't see it at first glance. Maybe when he went back to Kobe and was interviewed, he could say, Old Coach K is a fool.

So he let Kobe Bryant play this game to see if he could cooperate well with Guo Xu. If he didn't play well, he would have a reason to let him substitute later.

The Chinese team attacked first. Yao Ming caught the ball in the middle after a pick-and-roll and hit a three-pointer. The fans applauded together. He is the only one on earth who is so tall and can pull out to shoot three-pointers.

When the U.S. team attacked, Guo Xu gave Howard a signal to come out for a pick-and-roll. He led Yao Ming to the weak side, attracted double teams, and then distributed the ball to Howard who was cutting through the air. As long as Reed stands in the weak-side corner, this is a simple and effective offensive routine. The swingman cannot help defend Guo Xu, so he can only use the center and point guard.

When the person on the right is Kobe, even if the bottom corner is empty and the pass is passed, there is not much threat. Kobe couldn't shoot a few corner three-pointers throughout the season, and his shooting percentage was about none.

Kobe knew that he couldn't make a three-pointer from the corner, so he chose to cut in the low post and ask for the ball with his back.

At this time, Guo Xu can still choose to fight on his own, and opening up a one-on-one challenge with Liu Wei is an opportunity. Liu Wei was a top point guard in BA. In the NBA, it was difficult to dribble the ball for half a game. He represented the Kings in the China game. This is no exaggeration.

The Chinese team was afraid of Guo Xu, but they didn't do it. The chat with Yao Ming just now couldn't be in vain. If he said to reduce his shots, he would take fewer shots.

He is not the only one who wants to let go of the Mengba team. There is no point in going all out to beat the host country. If it is like 1996 and 2000, it seems that it will beat the Chinese team by 5 or 60 points... This is the opening game. Don't expect the United States to win the next game. Chinese fans cheered.

Guo Xu made a move and passed the ball to Yao Ming's side and passed it to Kobe Bryant in the low post. Yao Ming immediately retreated to follow Howard who was cutting in the air. Both big men returned to the penalty area.

Howard's choice makes Kobe very uncomfortable. Yao Ming can help defend near the penalty area, which will increase the difficulty of his offense. But Howard's shooting range is not as good as Bogut's. What else can he do besides cutting to the basket? He will be left open on the outside. If Kobe attracts double-teams, he will not be able to shoot when he is open.

Just like when Kobe Bryant partnered with Bogut in the Lakers, the two positions overlapped. Guo Xu was now stationed on the wing and could not form a triangle. Unless there is a shooter in the bottom corner and Howard goes to the left baseline to stand far away, Kobe may encounter double teams near the penalty area whether he breaks through the frame or plays in the low post.

Kobe relied on Sun Yue and then turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper. This choice was very simple. Although he avoided being double-teamed, he was successful.

Sun Yue is 2.05cm tall and weighs 100kg. His physical fitness is comparable to that of black players. He can guard 4 positions. He jumped up and almost covered Kobe, which seriously interfered with him.

After getting the rebound, the Chinese team made a mistake in offense. Yao Ming took the ball with his back in the low post and wanted to pass it to Sun Yue, who was cutting through the air. However, the tacit understanding between the two was slightly different and he passed it directly to Anthony.

The American team launched a counterattack, and Guo Xu passed to James.

James forced his way to the basket, attracted a double team, and passed the ball to the right corner. Kobe caught the ball and took the shot under slight interference from Sun Yue. Something shocking happened. The three-pointer directly hit the side of the backboard, and the rebound was blocked. Liu Wei picked it up.

Just as Liu Wei took a step forward, Guo Xu accelerated from the side, reached out and took out the basketball, then turned and passed it to James.

James took the ball and drove to the basket, attracting Yao Ming to defend and pass the ball to the left. Howard dunked the ball with both hands in one step. 2 vs.

The Chinese team attacked. Sun Yue relied on Yao Ming to catch the ball on the right side, and Yao Ming made an air cut. Kobe switched defense on Yao Ming and followed him near the penalty area. Howard blocked Sun Yue and then retreated to look for Yao Ming near the penalty area.

Sun Yue easily hit a 70-degree jumper from the right side and hit a three-pointer, 2-6.

Guo Xu led a pick-and-roll with Howard through the half, got rid of Liu Wei at full speed, then changed direction and passed Yao Ming for a layup. 4 to 6.

TV5 commentator Zhang Weiping sighed: We have to double-team Guo Xu. He is too fast. Yao Ming is taller than him even when he bends down. How can we defend against this?

Sun Zhengping said: How to guard Guo Xu is the key to whether the Chinese team can win.

The Chinese fans watching TV were all shocked. Come on, you still want to beat the American team?

Yao Ming missed Howard's hook in a single on the left, and Anthony got the rebound to Guo Xu. Guo Xu advanced to the frontcourt at full speed without any fake moves. He lowered his center of gravity and passed Liu Wei with a change of direction, passing the ball to James who was about to leave.

James relied on Zhu Fangyu to force the basketball and scored. 6 to 6.

If this lineup plays in the NBA, Guo Xu is confident of winning the championship. His teammates' personal abilities are too strong. He can't pass the ball without entering the three-point line throughout the game, and his opponents can't withstand it.

The Chinese team attacked, and the two big men covered back and forth. Zhu Fangyu ran to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer from a little further in the middle. 6 to 9.

This Chinese men's basketball team can be said to be the strongest in history. Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are paired with two NBA players on the inside. They are both capable inside and outside. They are among the top three in all teams. The three outside players can shoot three-pointers. , the combination is reasonable.

When the US team attacked, Guo Xu passed the ball to Kobe after halftime and stood firm on the outside.

Didn’t the media suspect that they had conflicts? Guo Xu passing the ball to Kobe again and again is tantamount to clarification. As for how Kobe beats him, it is up to him.

Kobe held the ball and attacked Sun Yue, attracting Yao Ming's defense. He had no chance and passed the ball to the middle. Anthony couldn't hold the ball firmly and was intercepted by Yi Jianlian. Liu Wei received the ball and quickly counterattacked and passed it to Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian faced Anthony and forced a layup but missed. Sun Yue, who advanced, grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a tip-in. 6 to 11.

Many fans stood up and applauded. The Chinese team unexpectedly took the lead at the beginning. Even if they did not last until the end, they were happy.

The US team attacked. Guo Xu passed the ball to Kobe on the right. Kobe broke through and reached the basket. He avoided Sun Yue but was blocked by Yao Ming.

After the scramble, the Chinese team got the ball and quickly counterattacked. Chen Jianghua's layup was chased by James, and the ball was knocked out of the baseline.

At this time, the US team adjusted its lineup, Bosh replaced Howard, and Wang Shipeng on the Chinese side replaced Zhu Fangyu.

Coach K knew he had to adjust. Howard couldn't open up any space on the court. Yao Ming would always stay in the penalty area to defend. Bosh's defense would be worse as a center forward, but Kobe Bryant's offense would probably be able to open up.

Old K can see that as long as Kobe is on the court, Guo Xu will distribute the ball selflessly.

He is the most popular in China. He is half Chinese, speaks Chinese fluently, and can also write Chinese songs. He is half Chinese and is blatantly letting loose.

Old K couldn't expose Guo Xu because Kobe was very aggressive in attacking. He immediately ran to the left corner to ask for the ball when he was blocked just now, even though he couldn't make a shot from that position...
