1051. The Tough Next Season (Part 3)

Kobe Bryant 40 points, Harden 19 points, Durant 34 points, James 10 points, 9 boards and 16 assists, Westbrook 7 points, 4 boards and 6 assists, Paul 14 points, Anthony 26 points......

The U.S. team slaughtered Nigeria by 81 points with 157 to 76!

It's miserable, it's inhumane, it's miserable......

Sun Ce watched this game and had long expected the strength of the American team, so he only felt that the Nigerian team was too miserable!

In addition, Sun Ce doesn't have any special opinions about the game itself.

But with the cooperation within the U.S. team, Sun Ce has some ideas about some U.S. team players on a small scale.

Kobe Bryant's style of play has changed a lot compared to last season!

Seeing Reggie Miller sitting behind the bench of the American team, Sun Ce had already heard that Kobe Bryant took the initiative to ask Reggie Miller after the playoffs, and when Kobe Bryant put down his son, Reggie Miller seemed to be very useful, and began to instruct Kobe Bryant to train to run and receive the ball for three points in late June.

Kobe Bryant's basic skills are already good, it took more than a month to adjust, and the style of play is becoming more and more suitable for Paul or James, in the case of three-point shooting and long two points are about the same, Kobe Bryant shot 8 of 12 three-pointers tonight...... Everyone knew that Kobe Bryant was angered by Sun Ce, and James, Paul, and Westbrook kept passing the ball to Kobe.

Sun Ce feels that James and Kobe Bryant may be better than Paul, and the breakthrough force is greater.

Similarly, Sun Ce feels that James and Durant are a bit of a perfect match; Anthony's side is mainly strong in personal ability, and he can't see anything in cooperation; And Harden seems to be a bit versatile, if you want him to be a supporting role, you can also play a core play, and you can pass the ball alone; There is also Chandler and James's blocking and dismantling, it's simple, Chandler blocking and dismantling steadily, cutting fiercely, and James's cooperation, Sun Ce feels that it is difficult to deal with.

Sun Ce is glad that the Heat got Nene , although Nene is very good at blocking and cutting, and shooting, but he is not as specialized in blocking and cutting as Chandler, nor does he have Chandler's lateral movement ability to switch guards.

Yes, looking at the U.S. team game, Sun Ce is not here for the game itself, this year's U.S. team is too strong, so strong that no one is capable, even if Odom and Anthony Davis are here to play soy sauce, Iguodala played very distracted in this game due to trade rumors, and the remaining 9 people are too strong.

Sun Ce wanted to see how well some of the opposing team's players worked well with the same type of players in the team...... It feels like next season is too difficult, Durant is in the peak, Kobe seems to be further letting go of the defense to focus on catching and shooting, and the Heat have Nene to free Bosh and James even if they are not as good as Chandler and Bogut......

Who would have thought that it would be the 76ers who looked the most promising in the league before the start of last season's Finals?

……

At the end of the first day of competition, the men's basketball Olympic competition officially kicked off, and Sun Ce and his teammates began to focus on the group stage.

In the first four games, the goal of the Chinese men's basketball team is to win at least three games to ensure that they can enter the finals, depending on the specific situation, if it is not necessary, the fifth game and the last game of the group stage of the Spanish team will be fought.

After a day of preparation, on July 31, the Chinese team ushered in a match against the Russian team.

The Chinese team is still the starting lineup of Sun Ce, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming.

On the Russian side, the starting line-up of Sergey Bikov, Anton Penkrasov, Kirilenko, Andrey Voroentesvich and Mozgov came on.

In terms of the strongest players, the Chinese team is stronger, three S-level stars under FIBA rules, but the role players on the Russian team are stronger, a large number of B+ and A- level players, Sun Ce saw that there were 7 players in the two grades on the opposite side! There are also Kirilenko in the S-class and Mozgov in the A-class.

The Russian team is not easy to play, Sun Ce watched the game of the Russian team that lost the Olympic Games yesterday, the Russian team won all four games, especially the game against Germany, Kirilenko and Mozgov combined to defend Nowitzki to only 11 points, Nowitzki only shot 3 of 14, there are two NBA players Kirilenko and Mozgov, under the rules of FIBA, the defense composed of these two is like an iron wall.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team played very hard from the beginning, the opponent's defense was too good, and Sun Ce played very badly.

Russia's small forward Andrey Vorontesvich, who landed in the NBA in 2005, is a physical white player known for his team defense, and with the help of Kirilenko's defense and Mozgov's under-the-basket defense, Sun Ce has been constrained miserably.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team trailed the Russian team by 4 points 13-17.

Sun Ce wanted to hang up, expecting to get a star experience card that could be tough, but after the start of the second quarter of the game, Yao Ming, who only played 4 minutes in the first quarter, began to exert his strength!

From the beginning of the second quarter to the end of the third quarter, Yao Ming played the second and second 7 minutes of the third quarter, and knocked Mozgov out of the game with five fouls at 9 minutes and 11 seconds in the third quarter!

Yao Ming, who played with his life, helped the Chinese team solve the opponent's strongest interior line, and helped the Chinese team overtake the Russian team by one point 48-47 at the end of the third quarter!

Yao Ming, who played 21 minutes in the first three quarters, made 5 of 8 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers and 12 of 12 free throws, and scored 23 points, 6 boards, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

But he was also so tired that he collapsed on the bench in the fourth quarter and couldn't stand up.

Due to Yao Ming's outstanding performance, Yi Jianlian played less time in the first three quarters, Ding Jinhui played more time, Ding Jinhui mainly played defense, Sun Ce also changed his style of play because Yao Ming went all out to break out, and put his strength into the defensive end...... Then don't score, slowly grind the defense, Sun Ce got 4 points, 6 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks in the first three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, there was less Mozgov on the opposite side, and the strength of the defensive end plummeted, while the Chinese team lacked Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian, who retained his physical strength in the first three quarters to fight for the fourth quarter!

In the fourth quarter, Yi Jianlian shot 4 of 6 inside, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 3 free throws, and scored 12 points in a single quarter, Sun Ce got 3 points, 2 boards, 4 assists and 1 block, and the two teamed up to help the Chinese team play a 21-17 single-quarter score in the final quarter.

In the end, relying on Yao Ming's 23 points, 6 boards, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Sun Ce's 7 points, 8 boards, 6 assists and 3 blocks, and Yi Jianlian's 16 points and 8 boards, the Chinese team defeated the Russian team 69-64 and won two consecutive victories!
