Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Players from both sides came to the court and the game was about to start.

The Chinese team is still the regular lineup, the starting lineup of the US team is Howard, Durant, Anthony, Kobe, Paul.

There is no power forward in this lineup in the strict sense. It is a "big four" lineup, but Durant's height is enough. The reason why Coach K sent such a lineup is because of the US team. The confidence of the players, the belief that there is no need for a step-by-step formation.

Seeing the opponent's starting lineup, Qin Hao was not surprised, he gave Yao Ming a wink, Yao Ming nodded knowingly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

First the jump ball, Yao Ming jumped to the ball.

Since the group stage, the Chinese team has never lost in the jump ball. In addition to Yao Ming's absolute height, it is also due to his seriousness. Even if it is just a jump ball, he has never slackened.

Qin Hao controlled the ball and started to advance, and Paul greeted him just after the midline.

"Sure enough." Qin Hao thought to himself.

If it were another team, against Qin Hao, because Qin Hao is fast, has a sharp breakthrough, and is accurate in three-pointers, he will definitely send a player with excellent mobility and enough height to guard against Qin Hao.

For example, in the previous China vs France, Qin Hao often faced either De Colo or Batum. Parker's height was difficult to limit Qin Hao's shooting.

But the U.S. team didn't.

Of course, although Paul is only 183 cm, he has been selected for the best defensive team many times. His defense is definitely the top of the league, and he is one of the best defenders in the NBA.

In the NBA, when the 76ers played against the Clippers, it was Paul who defended Qin Hao. He defended very well many times, so in the opinion of Coach K, Paul was enough.

"Pick-and-roll."

Qin Hao was not in a hurry, made a gesture, and Yao Ming came up to pick and roll.

Qin Hao took the opportunity to speed up to get rid of, the US team switched defenses, Qin Hao passed the ball back to Yao Ming, Yao Ming took the ball and shot directly, with a "swoosh", a hollow hit.

"The Chinese team still relies on Qin and Yao."

"It's useless to rely on Qin and Yao alone. How many points can they get no matter how good they are? No player in our US team is inferior to them."

In the audience, American fans were talking.

For this game, it has already been analyzed many times, so seeing the cooperation between Qin Hao and Yao Ming from the beginning, people are not surprised at all, but take it for granted.

The players of the US team thought the same way, and they exchanged a look--we should pay attention to Qin Hao and Yao Ming's cooperation later, and try to separate them as much as possible, maybe they can even steal.

fight back.

Paul pushed the ball forward, took a look at the situation in the frontcourt, passed the ball to Kobe, and the others pulled away, letting Kobe single against Sun Yue.

When Sun Yue was on the Lakers, Kobe and Kobe were still teammates, but now they were opponents. Kobe was not polite at all. He pinched the ball around his waist, making a tentative step, and then suddenly raised the ball. Sun Yue's heart jumped, his subconscious center of gravity was raised, and he raised his right hand to try to block.

But the next moment, Kobe put the ball down and slapped in front of him. One accelerated and rushed past Sun Yue. Yao Ming stepped forward and prepared to make up the defense, but Kobe didn't directly hit the basket and made a pull-up jumper.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"nice shot."

"I've said it for a long time, except Qin and Yao, the rest of the Chinese team is useless. By the way, this No. 9 seems to have played in the Lakers before, right? But against Kobe, he can only be abused. "

Some fans laughed and commented.

But before they were happy for a long time, the Chinese team quickly counterattacked. Qin Hao asked for a pick-and-roll after reaching the frontcourt, passed the ball to his teammates, and immediately started to move. Taking the ball from the side bottom corner three-point line, Paul deserves to be a player in the best defensive team. He responded quickly and quickly caught up.

Unfortunately, he is not tall enough.

Qin Hao jumped up, ignoring Paul in front of him, and shot a three-pointer in front of him.

Swish!

Also enter.

In the next few rounds, the U.S. team strengthened its defense against Qin Hao and deliberately cut off the connection between him and Yao Ming. There was always someone between him and Yao Ming. As long as Qin Hao passed to Yao Ming, he might be stolen.

Qin Hao frowned slightly and began to feed the ball to Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian, and Zhu Fangyu.

Although the U.S. team strengthened its defense against Qin Hao, it did not double-team. It was still one defense and one defense, but when Qin Hao broke through, someone would come to help defend, and it was only to prevent Qin Hao's shot.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Hao scored the ball and passed it to Sun Yue.

Kobe stepped forward, raised one hand, and stood in front of Sun Yue, while the other players of the US team pulled away, without the intention of going up to help Kobe defend, and handed it over to Kobe.

Sun Yue frowned. He was still a little nervous in the one-on-one single against Kobe, but he did not hesitate. He quickly singled, crossed continuously, and swayed his shoulders to try to break through.

"Why don't you go to the defense and just watch No. 9's one-on-one singles?" a fan asked, frowning, feeling that the US team's defense was a bit unreasonable.

"What are you afraid of?" The person next to him said with a relaxed smile: "That's Kobe, do you think that No. 9 can score on Kobe's head? How old is he? If it's Qin or Yao, maybe he needs to help defend, but Now, huh..."

Of course, where Kobe's strength lies, it is not easy for Sun Yue to single against him.

But there are others in the Chinese team.

"Left." Kobe Bryant judged the direction of Sun Yue's breakthrough and quickly moved laterally, but the next moment he hit a wall of people and couldn't help but secretly screamed "No."

The U.S. team opened up and asked Kobe to defend Sun Yue alone. It can be said that his attitude was extremely arrogant and prejudiced. He thought that Sun Yue, a guy who couldn't play in the NBA, didn't need to be too concerned.

However, the players on the Chinese team did not watch. Just before Sun Yue started, Yi Jianlian quietly approached and made a pick-and-roll for Sun Yue.

With this pick-and-roll, Sun Yue shook off Kobe Bryant, hugged the ball and rushed to the basket. Howard couldn't react and could only watch Sun Yue score a layup.

"Damn, if it wasn't for Kobe being blocked, No 9 could have scored."

"Direct one-on-one, Kobe can't move the No. 9 defense."

Some American fans shouted unhappily, but they didn't feel that there was a problem with the defense of the American team.

In the next round, the US team is still one-on-one.

This time, it was Anthony, who asked for the ball in the low post, then singled Zhu Fangyu, an iconic three-threat, and then broke through. With his excellent physical fitness, Zhu Fangyu was pushed away and rushed into the inside.

However, FIBA ​​has no "defense for three seconds", and Howard has almost no shooting ability. Yao Ming always stays in the interior. When Anthony kills, he raises his arms and covers the sky.

boom!

Anthony was disturbed and the ball could not be scored. Yao Ming won the rebound and passed it to Qin Hao. Qin Hao quickly launched a counterattack. He repeated his old tricks in the frontcourt, made a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, and then passed the ball back to Yao Ming.

This time Paul reacted quickly and quickly caught up with Qin Hao, while Howard stayed in the middle and stood in front of Yao Ming. Seeing Yao Ming lift the ball, his heart skipped a beat and he stepped forward subconsciously.

But at this time, Yao Ming changed to a breakthrough...
