Chapter 535: Fiasco
China Team VS Dream Seven Team.
Dream Seven's starting lineup: Point Guard: Chris Paul, Shooting Guard: Sean Battier, Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony, Power Forward: LeBron James, Center: Dwight Howard.
China's starting lineup: Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yang Di and Yao Ming.
Seeing the formation of old Coach K, Younas's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
actually let James play power forward, James's weight is now similar to Yang Di, and Yang Di is not much worse in strength, the two are very similar players, and playing together is equivalent to consuming the strongest point of the Chinese team.
"MVP, you have to use MVP-level players to match."
Lao K didn't bother to use Elton Brand, Chris Bosh and other authentic No. 4 positions to consume Yang Di first, and directly came up to amplify the move.
And putting Wade on the bench and using Battier, who has few options for attacking with the ball, as the starter, is also to think of the best ball distribution plan.
Yao Ming took a deep breath, and after the whistle blew, before he was ready, Howard jumped up like a spring.
As if out of gravity, it is too much higher than Yao Ming.
Yao Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, this champion who was two years younger than him is now getting better and better, and his physical fitness seems to have been steadily improving, and he has a feeling like a monster.
The first wave of the Dream Seven team's attack.
Second-year Chris Paul has the air of a general, unhurriedly starting to command a player who is bigger than him.
has the relationship between him and James, several people here also sell him face, and after practicing together, they know that he is indeed a very powerful player and is willing to listen to his arrangement.
Paul asked Anthony to pick up the ball at the top of the arc.
In '04, their rookie players in the class of '03 were pressed on the bench by Brown and watched the game lose, and now they are making a comeback in '06, and the class of '03 is the main force, and Anthony especially wants to prove himself in such a game.
Especially when the opponent was Yang Di, the eyes of several players of the Dream Seven team lit up.
Wade, Elton Brand, Paul.......
"MVP" is not so easy to be!
Zhu Fangyu's body was a little stiff, Anthony had been holding the ball for two seconds, and he still hadn't moved, this guy slowly turned around, raised the ball above his head with both hands, and moved his right foot lightly to try to attack.
Just when he was waiting a little annoyed, Anthony suddenly moved.
The right foot took a step to the right, the speed was extremely fast, and the whole person instantly collided with Zhu Fangyu, and the first step after breaking through was to take the initiative to find a confrontation.
"Bang!"
Zhu Fangyu is also known as a small forward with good strength in China, and when he was hit by Anthony like this, his body almost fell apart.
I stepped back, and it was dark in front of my eyes.
Anthony stopped suddenly, took a step inside the three-point line, took the ball, and flicked the ball out with his fingertips.
"Bell!"
"Mine!"
Yang Di let out a loud shout, straddled with his left foot, and stuck James behind him, like there was some rare treasure in front of him.
James didn't want to grab rebounds in Yang Di's hands, one of the reasons why he stayed here and didn't return to defense was to see what opportunities there were in the frontcourt, after all, under the strong defensive ability of the American team's backcourt, it was easy to cause the opponent to make mistakes.
Howard didn't have much of a chance, Yao Ming was stuck in a good position, and the rebound bounced to Yao Ming, Yao Ming stood on tiptoe, raised his arms, and grabbed the rebound.
"Give it to me!" Yang Di made a gesture of receiving the ball with both hands, he was afraid that the American team would do something to press the whole court, and Liu Wei and others would not be able to dribble even in half the court.
James had expected it, and at this time, he had already begun to surround Yang Di and prevent Yang Di from receiving the ball.
"Huh?"
Yang Di was a little angry, James laughed weirdly, these tactics have been arranged a long time ago, and the coaching staff of the American team has practiced many times, the best way to defend the Chinese team.
Yao Ming had no choice but to give the ball to Liu Wei, who was under little pressure on the defense.
But Liu Wei had just started dribbling, and Chris Paul, who was a little shorter than him, pounced like a poisonous snake and wanted to steal him.
He was so frightened that he immediately held the ball with both hands.
"Shouldn't you make a crotch at the first time, block it with your body!" Yang Di felt that there was a problem with the dribbling ideas of Chinese players, and he was already panicked when he saw others stealing.
Battier and Paul flanked Liu Wei together.
Liu Wei was in a panic, and just wanted to pass the ball out, he was stealed by Anthony who came around.
The U.S. team formed a counterattack on the spot, Anthony shook his hand and passed the ball to James who was inserted on the side, and Yang Di let go of James in order to make up for Anthony at this time.
James lifted up with one hand to complete the tomahawk chop.
The Japanese female fans at the scene screamed loudly and shouted: "Si Guoyi! Si Guoyi! ”
After a successful blow, the United States did not rush to attack, Paul and others began to retreat with satisfaction, the Chinese team was prepared, and the defenders dribbled the ball through the half court with difficulty.
Then Yang Di came out to catch the ball.
Stepping on the three-point line, the nearest American players immediately came to wrap Yang Di, due to the small court, the rotation defense speed of the American team is faster, and Yang Di is not allowed to attack easily, which will not affect their overall defense.
Yang Di hoisted the ball to Yao Ming, or Yao Ming was steady, turned around after receiving the ball deep under the basket, and then raised his left hand high and hooked his hand at close range.
Howard couldn't cover Yao Ming at all, and he was a little depressed, no matter how strong his body was, he couldn't defend it, and he couldn't block him through Yao Ming.
"Brush!"
Yao Ming felt soft and hit with one blow.
Team USA attacks.
Chris Paul dribbled the ball under his crotch, shook continuously and changed backwards, beckoned Howard to come out to block the pick-and-roll, and then he circled Howard's right side, one accelerating, and another emergency stop.
Howard went inside, but Yao Ming was directly hung out by Paul.
"Trouble!"
Paul was in no hurry to attack, and after waiting for a while, the outside suddenly pulled a three-pointer.
What he thinks is that Howard has entered the interior line, and now the interior is misaligned, and even if he doesn't make this shot, he has a good chance of grabbing the frontcourt rebound.
"Brush!"
Who knew that such a three-point shot actually went in, and Paul himself thought it was strange.
After he entered the league, his long-range shooting was not particularly strong, but in the international arena, the three-point line was a little shorter, and let him shoot three points, which was just within his range, and it was reasonable to score.
Yang Di felt that it was particularly tricky, no matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to defend five people one-on-one, he could only defend what he was marking, and at most add a supplementary defense or something, but James was steady in place, not very involved when attacking, but the defense was very active and did not let himself get the ball.
It wasn't until more than halfway through the first quarter that he relied on Yao Ming's inside pass and cooperation, and he shot the basket and scored two points.
The United States, on the other hand, relied on a strong perimeter defense to gain a lot of leads.
They were still not satisfied, and after replacing Battier, they replaced Wade, and maintained a high-intensity pressing defense throughout the game, and if they were not careful, a mistake was to send the opponent to score.
The Chinese team was beaten to the point where they had little resistance and lost by 20 points at halftime.
In the end, 77-101 lost to the United States team by 24 points, and Yang Di left the court with a blue face, he had not tasted such a taste of failure for a long time.
This is still after he grabbed several frontcourt rebounds, and slowly recovered the points, if he didn't exert his strength, he would lose more.
