Chapter 444: The Chinese Tower and the American Cruiser

When did Wang Lei play?

When Chen Mu was on the field to lead the individual attack, the Chinese team was a mixed lineup, and there were also substitutes in the starters. Theoretically speaking, the player in the role of Wang Lei should be the most suitable to play at that time.

But at that time, the small forward of the Chinese team was Zhu Fangyu, and Younas's purpose in doing this was very simple, that is, he wanted to use Chen Mu's inner dominance to drive the outside shooters to exert their power.

So Zhu Fangyu hit long-range shots in a row, and the Chinese team continued to maintain a balance with the United States team in the most difficult period, and the score was stale, bringing fans a lot of surprises.

After the two sides made substitutions, the U.S. team sent an almost all starting lineup, but continued to use Paul in the point guard position (before the transition, Paul was off the court for a period of time, and Delon was in charge. As for the starting point guard Kidd, the playing time was basically in the first quarter and the beginning of the third quarter, setting the tone), and in the rest of the positions, Kobe, LeBron, Anthony, and Howard all returned one after another.

The lineup given by the Chinese team is very interesting, the point guard is replaced by Liu Wei, and the scoring guard Sun Yue is the starting combination. In the small forward position, Zhu Fangyu is tired enough - it is not a joke to play against LeBron, not to mention Zhu Fangyu, that is, any small forward in the world will be tired enough to choke - the player who was replaced was Wang Lei.

In terms of the inside line, Chen Mu didn't play at all in the second half of the first quarter, and there was no problem in maintaining physical strength, so he continued to be there, and Yao Ming returned.

What is the intention of this lineup of the Chinese team......?

"It's funny, Coach Younas' idea is really interesting."

On the commentary platform, Director Zhang opened his mouth and analyzed: "The current lineup of the Chinese team is two giant towers on the inside, and both sides of the low-post singles can be launched, and the American team has to pay the price of at least three people to defend the basket if they want to contain Yao Ming or Chen Mu." ”

"That's right. It stands to reason that this time should not continue to be a shooter? Zhu Fangyu is very tired, but Wang Shipeng has played very little today, and his physical strength is not a problem. and Li Nan also has physical fitness, the top shooter opens up space, whether it is Yao Ming or Chen Mu, they can send a pass after being caught and come to attack outside. "Yoga is puzzled.

"The U.S. team probably thought the same way, so they didn't panic at all before, what is the reason?" Director Zhang smiled and said: "Because Liu Wei's outside three-point line is not so accurate, Paul comes back to the penalty area and has a great chance of stealing." And the candidates for the second and third positions of the American team. But they are all cruisers-like defense masters! ”

I see!

When the fans heard it, they understood.

The U.S. team is relying on LeBron and Kobe, two top wing players who are cruising and supplementing defense and single defense, to crack the Chinese team's combination of internal and external play!

In this lineup of the American team, there are many powerful weapons and a lot of scoring points. But to say that the most terrible thing on the defensive end is not Howard, but the wing.

Kobe Bryant needless to say, that large number of first-defense honors can prove his skills. And LeBron's side. is also gradually entering his defensive prime, not to mention individual defensive skills, but the size and the most elite athleticism in history are enough to make most teams drink a pot.

Quite a few teams are facing the United States. will try their best to use the advantage of the inside line to find opportunities, and at the same time, a bunch of shooters will be arranged on the outside, focusing on the "INSIDE-OUT" that Director Zhang likes to say, and play a three-dimensional attack.

And the Chinese team. But the sword went sideways, and at this time, Yao Ming and Chen Mu were present. When the inside advantage was the greatest, he sent three players who were not too sharp in their long-range shots.

Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Wang Lei, the defensive ability of the three players is above the CBA level. In terms of confrontation, Liu Wei is definitely a heavy guard in the Chinese team, Sun Yue and Wang Lei have advantages in running and jumping and arm span height, even if they are facing the United States team, they can grit their teeth and fight hard.

As for the three's not-so-superb long-range shooting skills, there is a way to make up for it.

The way to make up for it is now unfolding in front of the eyes of the American team.

"Da Yao!"

Liu Wei sent the ball, Yao Ming had his back to him, Howard behind him, and the singles were on.

"Yao Ming singled with his back to see if there was a chance to score points...... Paul is here to wrap the bag, it's fast, you need to deal with the ball quickly...... Shot! It's a pity that I didn't hit it! ”

Yoga sighed, and the fans shook their heads, Yao Ming scored a three-pointer at the beginning, but the feeling after that was really bad. In the face of a strong opponent like the American team, Yao Ming could not give full play to his strength, which was very troublesome for the Chinese team.

Yao Ming faced Howard, according to the experience of NBA games, it should be as easy as eating and drinking. But Howard is in the NBA, and there is no outside defender of Paul's level to help.

Whether it's Nelson or Nash, the defensive end has its own problems. It can be said that for a long time in Howard's career, he has not partnered with a top-notch No. 1 defender, and it is not strange that he will suffer a loss against Yao Ming alone.

This difference is that the American team thought of it, Paul thought of it, and Lao K thought of it, so from the beginning to the present, as long as Yao Ming holds the ball, he will immediately use Paul to step forward and wait for the opportunity to steal.

What about the Chinese team? The fans may not have thought too much about it, but the experienced Younas naturally thought of it.

But what can be done?

Younas's idea is simple, no matter how good or bad Yao Ming feels, he is the sharpest heavy sword of the Chinese team and has to be used. Let Yao Ming go on the field and turn back and run and run, that is a tyrannical thing.

So the Chinese team still insists on this style of play, no matter how bad Yao Ming's hand feels, he will always come back!

Everyone thinks this way, but one person doesn't.

Under the basket of the American team, Howard turned around and prepared to grab the rebound, Anthony also turned around and pouted his big ass and prepared to scramble, Paul, Kobe, and LeBron have all begun to go down, as long as the rebound is picked up, it will immediately be a devastating counterattack.

At this moment, the damn Chinese kid jumped.

"Smack!"

"Rebounding !!!"

With Yoga shouting excitedly, Chen Mu came out of nowhere and picked up the frontcourt rebound, just like he had done countless times in the national youth team and the 76ers.

And then.

"Chen Mu took the ball with his back and didn't pass the ball! It's going to singled Anthony! The bag of the American team is over, how should Chen Mu deal with it...... What a ball! Pass the ball under the crotch, and Wang Lei dunk and score under the basket! Ha ha! Chen Mu's signature response! It's wonderful!! ”

Wang Lei and Sun Yue, that's the purpose.

"Good shot!"

Chen Mu and Wang Lei high-fived fiercely, the young man couldn't believe that he actually completed two dunks in the face of the American team and LeBron, his eyes were full of surprise, and he was very surprised.

The key is......

These two passes just now are so comfortable......!

Wang Lei felt that he was just following his habitual style of play, speeding up and finding opportunities when his team served the bottom ball, and trying to find a way to go around the cover during the positional battle.

This style of play is one of Wang Lei's strengths, as a ball-holding kung fu is not top-notch, and the three-point shot also has a no. 3 position, Wang Lei's style of play is very classical. However, whether in the club or in the national team, it is always difficult to receive good enough passes to play the role of his empty cut.

Now, Chen Mu appeared, and everything was solved.

LeBron, Kobe Bryant......

Back to the basket, Chen Mu stared at Anthony's movements with both eyes, silently recalling all the details of the game in his heart.

I really want to play fast break, I really want to use fast break cooperation again and again to completely break us, just like all the opponents we have played before, and win the game easily, right?

I won't let you do that......!

Chen Mu clearly remembers that the collapse of the Chinese team in this game was in the second half of the second quarter, after the American team played a classic quick counterattack and a wave of scoring appeared.

At half-time, the Chinese team fell behind by double digits on the original timeline and never came back.

After that, in the third quarter, it became a nightmare for the Chinese team, with mistakes again and again, a sharp drop in the shooting rate on the offensive end, and the three-point rain that fell at the beginning suddenly stopped, and the Chinese team only scored 11 points in the third quarter.

On the U.S. side, the score was constantly opened by endless rapid counterattacks, and the score difference was stretched to more than 30 points, and the first Beijing Olympic game of the men's basketball team ended like this.

Now that I'm here, all of this will be changed!

Chen Mu knew that Yao Ming had a very bad hand in this game, only 3 of 10 shots, and finally scored 13 points.

In addition, the feeling of teaming up is not good, with only 9 points on 4-of-13.

In this case, it is too difficult for the men's basketball team to win.

Now, in the eyes of fans around the world, no one in the Wukesong Arena knows what the game will turn out to be. Although everyone guessed that the U.S. team would win, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian would always have a time to get back their touch and break out for a while, right?

Chen Mu knew that he didn't.

So, the key points of the next game are very clear.

"Anthony has a nice shake, and the mid-range shot is there ...... Miss! Chen Mu's rebounding! ”

“TOUCHDOOOOOOOOOOOWN!!!”

Grabbing the rebound, Chen Mu looked back, the cruisers of the American team had begun to cruise, and Sun Yue and Wang Lei of the Chinese team did not suffer too much in speed, and were sprinting to the frontcourt.

With a whoosh, the basketball shot, Chen Mu's pass did not go to point guard Liu Wei, but walked out of a bold and bewitching fold line, which suddenly changed direction after bouncing on the ground and slipped past the fingertips of LeBron's steal.

Sun Yue received the ball, turned around and scored violently.

“…… Roar!!!! ”

The roars and shouts of the fans, mixed with Sun Yue's roar in the sky, instantly lit up the night sky of Wukesong.

"Rebounding."

Flames burst out in Chen Mu's eyes, staring at the basket of the American team.

"I'm going to grab every rebound......!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Grab every rebound!! Roar!!

Belch...... Of course, this is an exaggerated rhetoric, Xiao Chen pretended to be a fork again, and I will teach him a lesson......
