Chapter 357: Poor Dragon King

In the first half of the first quarter, the U.S. team's shooting percentage was very high, including their outside shooting rate, and Canada's joint defense did not achieve good results.

However, after Mengba's substitution, the state of the two brothers began to be repeated, and Ji Guoqiu had more experience in dealing with Bosh, especially when he found that Bosh's strength was similar to his, and he suddenly felt full of strength.

Brother Panda broke out in the middle of the first quarter, first breaking through a high post frame, and hitting Bosh to foul the latter and get two free throws; Then he and Nash blocked and dismantled, and Lao Wei threw the basketball to the basket, and Brother Panda bombarded the poor Dragon King directly into two criminals.

The poor dragon king, who had just gone up for less than a minute, was actually beaten into two by the murderous panda.

Bosh stood under the basket with his hands crossed and stared at his round eyes, with a look of disbelief on his face, thinking that how could he be so weak, the dead panda couldn't score a point in the first half of the quarter, he not only scored four points in a row, but also made himself two fouls, this TM must be an illusion!

Coach K also thinks things are very strange, in fact, he prefers to use Bosh in the Dream Eight Three Interior Line, Howard's offense is too poor, and his skills are too rough compared to his teammates. And Howard's athleticism seems to be a bit excess in international basketball, especially prone to artificial fouls.

But I never expected that Howard didn't have a foul today, but Bosh committed two fouls less than a minute after he came on the court.

"You deserve it, so you don't come to the fire!" Ji Guoyan secretly laughed on the side.

Bosh committed two fouls, the U.S. team could only make substitutions, Prince replaced Bosh to play the No. 4 position, Carlos. Boozer was pushed to the centre-forward position.

Ji Guoqiu hit a penalty, the score was 11:15, and Canada caught up with the score in a blink of an eye.

The second half of the first quarter. Ji Guosha also began to gradually enter the state, and he was not too afraid of Prince's confrontation, and the opponent's height and arm span were a serious threat to Kobe. But it didn't have much effect on him. The Little Foxes did not score points on the offensive end by one-on-one singles, but ran without the ball to get a chance to shoot. In this case, even if James continues to defend him, as long as he recovers his touch, he still doesn't care too much, because he is also the top in terms of athleticism.

As soon as the Canadian Big Three felt that the U.S. team found it difficult for them to limit their opponents' shots with grabs, and it was extremely difficult to force the opponent to make a passing error, Canada learned the lesson of the Spanish team, and Nash played his skills to thread the needle. Even though the American player is explosive and nimble, he dares to pass whenever there is a gap. Once there was no passing route, Nash handed over the basketball to Ji Guoqiu without thinking about it, and it was reorganized by Panda's brother, and Canada's offense became more tacit as the game progressed.

In the first quarter, the score was 23:26, and the U.S. team led Canada by three points, which was not obvious.

Master Reasonable commented: "First section. Although the U.S. team has a very high shooting percentage, they have never been able to shake off their opponents, and today's game will not be as easy as the U.S. team imagined. The Canadian team will definitely not lose like Spain! Later, when referring to Kidd's role, Coach Zhang continued: "Kidd can bring the team's speed, but his own speed is not fast, especially in defense, Kidd can't keep up with Nash's pace is a big problem, I don't think the old K coach will use more triple-double kings." Director Zhang also mentioned the key to the victory of the American team: "If the American team wants to speed up and use breakthrough counterattacks to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent, whether it can break through the defensive positions of the twins is the key." ”

In the second quarter, the U.S. team switched to another lineup: DeLong. Williams, Dwyan. Wade, Carmelo. Anthony, Chris. Bosh, Dwight. Howard.

The Canadian team did not substitute the twins. Line-up: Jameel. Anderson, Aaron. Donacamp, Oulu. Famtimi, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

The U.S. team seems to have a stronger impact on this lineup, and Wade's performance at the Olympics this year can be counted as the pinnacle of the peak. Many fans believe that his performance at the Olympics is not inferior to that of Joe's gang leader back then, although the Flash is the sixth man. But he was the leading scorer on the Dream Eight team, shooting an astonishing 75 percent from the field.

After Wade came on the court, he immediately broke through with the ball, but the Flash was a little too ignorant of the twins this time, and his layup around the ball was just halfway done, and he was slapped by Ji Guoyi, and the Canadian team made a steal!

"Damn, my wilted layup around the ball can actually be covered, and the fox has bought a new plug-in?" Many Wade fans shouted that it was impossible, but Ji Guoyi's block this time was an absolutely good hat even if it was played in slow motion.

Wade was furious, and the Canadian team broke the ball and countered to score two more points.

After the start of the second quarter of the Canadian team, they tried to play a two-three joint defense for a while, and the impact ability of the American team's lineup was too strong, and the breakthrough power of the two big butts was about to break through the sky, and it really couldn't be done without joint defense.

The two brothers changed their positions again, Ji Guoqiu couldn't get out of the restricted area this time, anyway, there were no three seconds in the international basketball game, and he could stay in it as long as he wanted; Ji Guoyi swept back and forth near the free throw line, relying on his footsteps to set up the first line of defense, and the two brothers were like two air defense positions to jointly face the enemy, bound to knock down a single UFO.

Wade and Anthony tried to burst twice, but the effect was very bad, and the three breakthroughs did not score a point, and Canada took the opportunity to overtake the score in one go.

At 7 minutes and 20 seconds in the second quarter, the score was 29:28, and a three-point shot after Ji Guosha's counterattack exceeded the score, and Coach K immediately called a timeout.

Ji Guoqiu had 7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoqi had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, and Nash had 8 points and 2 assists.

Bryant. Bryant had 6 points and 1 rebound, James had 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Paul had 3 points and 1 assist, Anthony had 4 points and 2 rebounds, Boozer had 4 points and 2 rebounds, and Deron had 4 points and 2 rebounds. Williams had 4 points and 1 assist, Wade had 2 points and Howard had 2 rebounds and 1 block.

Canada took advantage of this timeout to bring on Nash, who had a break of less than three minutes, and for them to win against the United States, the Big Three could not rest much, or simply not be able to rest.

Coach K paused this time to change the lineup again, I have to say that there are too many people available for Dream Eight, and Coach K sometimes may change people for tactical reasons, and sometimes it is simply to let the 12 players have playing time, just like the All-Star Game. How so many big names arrange everyone's playing time is not something that everyone can do, especially the premise of ensuring victory.

The U.S. team brought Prince on this time. The lineup became: Chris. Paul, Dwyan. Wade, Prince, Chris. Bosh, Dwight. Howard.

Coach K changed the formation this time in order to break the joint defense of the Canadian team. In the last game they played against Spain, Prince's joint defense against the Spanish team was very good, and today Coach K obviously wants to continue to use Prince to break the Canadian team's joint defense.

However, Coach K was negligent, the Canadian team's interior line is different from the Spanish team, the two brothers are much stronger than the Gasol brothers in terms of flexibility, and in terms of defensive strength, the twin brothers are also recognized as better than the Gasol brothers. So Prince came up this time. Except for contributing a block to Ji Guoqiu and a shot outside, it didn't play any role, and he couldn't even break through Ji Guoqiu's first line of defense.

Joel. Anthony soon returned to the game and joined Ji Guoyi's sweeping mission, but it was not an indiscriminate attack, but a close follow-up defense by identifying a strong point of the opponent, such as a violent interior line like Howard, the two brothers are most afraid of this kind of opponent, Joel. After Anthony bites Superman. It can make the two brothers worry about one less target, and the fox brother's air defense network will be much easier.

The second quarter was 5:05 and the score was 36:35. Instead, the Canadian team is ahead of the American team.

Kobe Bryant and James have returned to the court, the lineup of the American team has been changing, and it feels like the purpose of the old K coach to rotate for the sake of rotation is greater, the American team always boasts that they no longer rely on individual ability as before, but so far in this final, the cooperation between the Dream Eight players is still ridiculously small, not only the offensive end has not cooperated, but the defensive end of the American team has not played joint defense, it is the same person marking.

This kind of defense allows Canada to play more and more smoothly. After a casual cover by Nash and his twin brothers, it was easy to create a zĂ o scoring opportunity.

When the U.S. team made a substitution, Master Reason said: "The U.S. team doesn't defend well in blocking and dismantling. As soon as it touches the block, change the guard, and use the small one to prevent the twins. Nash threw the ball into the air as soon as he took it apart, and the two brothers could score straight down, and this kind of combination has happened several times, and the U.S. team seems to have no way at all, and Canada is now like Paul and Chandler. ”

The U.S. team made another substitution and the lineup became: Chris. Paul, Dwyan. Wade, Kobe. Bryant, LeBron. James, Carlos. Boozer.

Both brothers were a little confused at the moment, their opposing defenders changing every few minutes, and they were almost stunned.

But this is not a bad thing for Canada, the United States team has always had no way to use the simple blocking and dismantling cooperation of the two brothers and Nash, perhaps because of the old change of defenders, the American team's interior play has not understood the two brothers at all, because there is no time for them to seriously analyze how to defend.

Ji Guoyi faced the gorilla again, but he had a way to defend James, and he faked a fall on the defensive end and successfully deceived the referee.

The gorilla's face was ugly because the referee blew him for an offensive foul.

"Haha, I'm so smart, that's how the Mavericks will deal with gorillas in the future." Ji Guoyi couldn't imagine that his fake fall was really successful, you must know that he is not deeply immersed in this way, far less realistic than the acting skills of Argentine actor Scola, after tasting the sweetness, Ji Guoyi secretly thought: "It seems that this trick can be studied in depth in the future, and the gorilla is the biggest stumbling block on their way to winning the championship in the future, and it is completely worthwhile to practice a trick to deal with him." ”

The U.S. team began to use pressing defense in the last five minutes, but it didn't work much, Canada had Nash, and Triano put Jamil in order to be safe. Anderson switched to playing double guard, and he couldn't prevent it anyway, so it was more cost-effective to strengthen his breakthrough and offense and reduce some mistakes.

The turning point of the first half came in the last three minutes, when the U.S. team made a lot of defensive moves, and Howard came on the court to pull Ji Guoqiu to the ground, and was whistled by the referee for a physical foul.

Commenting on this, Master Reasonable said: "The Olympic Games have a strict penalty for unsportsmanlike fouls, and as long as a player has extra action after losing his defensive position, the referee will blow a physical foul. The U.S. team is quick on defense and has more gambling steals, but the cost is more fouls. ”

The second quarter was 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and the score was 40:38.

The two brothers have not rested, the two of them also have some problems in the last two minutes, the two consciously collect and play, this is a way to reasonably distribute physical energy, no matter how good the body is, it must be reasonably distributed, they have to play the whole game today, they can't keep the whole court running, so playing, no one can stick to the whole game.

In the final two minutes, the Canadian team made a series of passing errors, and not only did the two brothers have to divide their bodies properly, but Nash actually only rested for less than three minutes, which is very difficult for a 34-year-old veteran. Canada's opponent is the United States team, and Dream Eight has changed back and forth, which naturally has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that their body is far more abundant than Canada's, and they can play with their offense and defense when they come up, and they don't need to take care of their body, so the Canadian team's body consumption rate in the game is much faster than in the previous games.

James hit a mid-range shot, Wade hit a three-pointer, and the U.S. quickly put the lead in the lead.

Then Kobe Bryant successfully broke through and made Ji Guosha's second foul and got two free throws.

The U.S. team took advantage of the last two minutes of the first half to suddenly step up the attack, with 20 seconds left in the quarter, the score was 43:45, and the U.S. team relied on the play of stars to successfully overtake the score.

In the last 20 seconds, Canada attacked for the last time in the first half, Nash broke through and passed the basketball inside from the gap.

Ji Guoqiu received the basketball to attract the two people of the American team, the panda brother threw the basketball to the basket, and Ji Guoqiu, who was inserted along the bottom line, quickly jumped up and caught the ball with both hands, and Canada equalized the score again with a wonderful aerial relay in the first half.

The score was 45:45, and the two teams were tied at halftime.

Reasonable Master commented again at halftime: "Canada was a little soft in the last part of the first half, always passing the ball horizontally, and the U.S. team relied on the counterattack after the steal to overtake the score. Canada should pay attention to the outside of the U.S. team, if the U.S. team's three-point and shooting percentage comes up, then no one in the world will be able to compete with them. Canada and the United States team tied in the first half, although there were some problems, but they successfully sniped the United States team, and did more than the major media expected before the game, especially the Big Three still dare to play under the opponent's strong defensive intensity, often hit the ground in the crowd and pass, play very calm and composed, in terms of team cooperation, the United States team is a lot worse.
