basketball never sleeps

Chapter 58 2008BJ welcomes you

Now FIBA's technical foul free throws are still two free throws. After the free throw is over, the free throw team still has the ball. Melo's big shot directly allowed the Chinese team to further widen the point difference.

Unwilling to be reconciled, the Ugly National Team players began to fight hard, using wheel battles to rush towards the inside guarded by Yao Ming and Moko. In order to avoid getting into foul trouble, Yao Ming's defensive actions were relatively conservative, giving the Dream Six Team a chance to recover the score.

.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was 45:43 for China and 43 for China, and the point difference was back to 2 points.

Dayao made 6 of 10 shots, scored 12 points and 5 rebounds, and performed at a regular level; Mo Wen made 6 of 13 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws, scoring a game-high 18 points and 3

rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal, which put the entire Dream Six team's forwards in shame.

On the Dream Six team, only Iverson scored in double figures, making 4 of 10 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 12 points. They also have good news and bad news.

The good news is that their personnel rotation was better, so they had a physical advantage in the second half; the bad news is that Duncan committed three more fouls.

Duncan got his third foul in the second quarter and was immediately replaced. At this point in the game, everyone knew what the Chinese team was thinking.

Although the Ugly Chinese team also wanted to kill Yao Ming, under the overall protection of the Chinese team, Yao only received one foul at halftime.

However, the cost of this protection is not small. Moko and Yi Jianlian each suffered 3 fouls. In addition, points were lost due to missed players during the period. There are gains and losses.

After the start of the second half, Marion, who was originally on the inside, stepped forward to defend Mo Wen. Marion is actually a player that fits the Dream Six lineup very well. He can defend and shoot, but his skills are average and his shooting is a bit ugly, but he can counterattack.

Or opening up space in positional warfare can be very useful.

However, the coaching staff of the Dream Six Team valued Marion's rebounding ability of 10+ per game in the NBA more, and kept him in the paint as Odom's substitute. Only when no one was available on the forward line did they think of pulling Marion out.

.

James, who did not play, breathed a sigh of relief. Anthony had given him a try just now. He was determined to continue to gain weight during the rest of the holidays. At the same time, he had to find a few retired seniors to practice the "elbow technique" with them.

Facing this forward with long hands, long legs and quick lateral movement, Mo Wen was well prepared. He originally thought that Marion would be the one to defend him after Jefferson came off the field, but he didn't expect the three players from the Dream Six Team.

The old man reacted so slowly.

Mo Wen made a double screen signal inside, handed the ball to Liu Wei and started running. Dayao and Moko stood inside along the trapezoidal sideline, leaving a gap for the goal.

Marion's flexibility is good compared to the inside. Mo Wen opened up space for cutting inside with a reverse run from the outside.

But Liu Wei didn't pass the ball at this time, and Meng Liu's two insiders were standing under the basket. Mo Wen caught the ball at this time, and it was difficult to adjust his movements to shoot or attack the basket.

When Mo Wen ran from the bottom corner to the basket, Duncan noticed something was wrong, but it was too late to act.

Mo Wen quickly passed through the gap between Da Yao and Mo Ke. At the same time, Liu Wei pretended to pass the ball to the other side, but after catching Marbury's attention, he hit the ball and sent the ball to the three-pointer.

In the hands of Mo Wen outside the line.

Taking off to shoot, Marion had just broken free of the arms held up by Dayao and Moko, and the basketball had already flown towards the basket.

"They fouled! Offensive foul!"

Larry Brown raised his hand to signal the referee, but the two referees hesitated and did not give the whistle.

Because Dayao and Moko didn't move or make any unusual blocking actions just now. They just raised their arms to block, which is allowed by the rules.

Iverson responded by hitting a shot from behind the screen.

But in the next round, the Chinese team still adopted this tactic.

This tactic can be seen as a simplified version of the later "elevator door tactic", but the difference is that in order to adapt to the rules of FIBA, the action of closing the door is cancelled, and the behavior of complete blocking is changed into a delayed and defensive player.

For a defensive player of the same size, this kind of lag is limited, which is better than nothing, but for a defensive player like Marion who is larger, with broad shoulders and long arms, this move is especially effective.

Although the ability to open up space has become smaller, it also reduces the possibility of being whistled.

However, the Chinese team did not continue to fight. After three times, the referee seemed to feel that it was a bit shameful to do so, and looked at the Chinese team in a wrong way. Mo Wen also signaled a change of formation in time.

Anyway, they have prepared more than one off-ball tactic.

"There is still one quarter left, and the Chinese team still maintains the lead. Mo Wen and Dayao look tired, but they are still persisting."

"Duncan is one time away from committing a full foul. Whether he can be defeated is the key to whether the Chinese team can win this game."

"Iverson resisted interference and missed the shot. It can be seen that the American team is a little anxious now. If they lose this game, they may have to create a record of being empty-handed for the first time in the history of American basketball."

"Come on, come on, come on steadily, hold on, boys, if you hold on for 5 more minutes, you will become the heroes of China!"

Players on both sides of the court were almost unsteady, and only Mo Wen and Duncan could remain calm.

"Defense well, don't be nervous, follow the tactics, don't panic!"

The players of Dream Team 6 looked at Mo Wen talking and pointing, thinking that Mo Wen was going to play another tactic. They were all very nervous, but they never expected that Mo Wen's choice for this round would be singles.

Marion approached Mo Wen under the command of Larry Brown on the sidelines, and his 220 long arms were like big pockets.

Mo Wen did not face the confrontation and used his most proficient escape move - retreating and worshiping the Buddha.

After tricking Marion into leaning forward, he didn't forget to shake his shoulders before breaking through.

Looking at Mo Wen who was charging towards him again, Duncan also had a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

Mengliu did a poor job of dividing pressure on him on the defensive end. Larry Brown, a famous coach known for his defense, did not help Mengliu build a layered defense like the Pistons in a short period of time.

It was another European step, and Duncan was already on full alert, but in the face of Mo Wen's mature rhythm, he still fell into the trap.

Duncan's arm hit Mo Wen's intentionally stretched out left arm, and his right arm was basically not disturbed.

The basketball was scored and the referee blew the whistle.

The beater fouled and one free throw was added. Duncan committed 5 fouls and came on the field.

Shaking his arms in dissatisfaction, Duncan lowered his head and walked out of the field.

This year's game was really frustrating for him.

O'Fatty shook his head sympathetically in front of the TV. They were in the same boat. Iverson and Marbury were both players accustomed to holding the ball on the outside and playing in isolation. The coaching staff did not arrange inside tactics. Duncan was in the Olympics.

He can only be a stand-up center, the kind who eats very little.

"Leave it to you, Dayao!"

Mo Wen rubbed the arm that hurt a little bit from the collision just now and put on a fishy look.

"Leave it to me!"

Dayao clenched his fists excitedly and raised his hands to the camera on the sidelines.

Duncan's demise was a huge blow to the morale of the National Team, but it was not the "end of the world".

Although Stoudemire is not as experienced as Duncan in defending Yao, he has more physical strength and also caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese team in fast breaks.

In the last minute, the score difference between the two teams was only 4 points.

Iverson took a step back from the outside and missed a three-pointer. Dayao pointed the ball towards the frontcourt.

Zhu Fangyu pounced on the ball and threw it to Mo Wen. Mo Wen made a basket under the basket, pushing the score to 6 points.

"roar!!"

Although it was just a pick, Mo Wen couldn't help but pat his chest.

The audience on the sidelines also gave a huge cheer. After this goal, it almost heralded the ending of the Dream Six Team.

A round of 30 seconds is less than 1 minute and 6 minutes.

What does Dream Team 6 want to chase!?

The Ugly National Team’s bench either closed their eyes or lowered their heads. No one could accept such a result.

The Dream Six players on the court did not give up yet. Iverson and Marbury both gritted their teeth and launched a fast break, trying to grab points.

It's a pity that this is not a Hollywood blockbuster after all, so it can't make a comeback by saying "God bless America".

Marbury, who made 4 of 12 shots in the game, finally made one accurate shot, but his step back was too short and his heels were still a finger's width away from the three-point line. This shot only brought them two points.

Mo Wen waited steadily for a round, and in the last 5 seconds, he gave the ball to the open Moko, but it was a pity that the ball wasted.

Meng Liu's double gun counterattacked again, but unfortunately this time, Marbury failed to hit again.

With 15 seconds left in the game, the fans on the sidelines stood up. Some Chinese fans who had traveled thousands of miles to watch the game were already shouting crazy.

The team leader Gong Luming, who should have been the calmest at first, was now shaking with excitement.

The timeout for both sides has already been called, and now they just need to wait for the time to end.

Mo Wen consciously dribbled the ball to Larry Brown's side.

Facing Marion, who switched defenses, he dribbled the ball alternately with his left and right hands in a very rhythmic manner.

Marion, who had no energy left, just followed Mo Wen's movements numbly.

After Mo Wen made a feint, he immediately collected the ball and retreated.

Marion, who had no time to react, slipped and sat on the ground.

Mo Wen, who was connecting the ball outside the three-point line, did not shoot again. Instead, he smiled at Larry Brown next to him and shrugged.

Then before Marion got up, he took the time and threw the ball.

After landing, Mo Wen turned around to face Larry Brown, put one hand behind his back, raised the other hand to point towards the player tunnel, and then bowed slightly.

It’s like sending off the dream team.

"Coach Brown, thank you for your efforts. If you still have a chance, you are welcome to 2008BJ."

There will be more at night
