Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

"this……"

"Are we that strong?"

"Is this a dream team?"

Compared with the shock of the fans, only basketball professionals know how strong the Dream Team is and how strong it is. With the current situation, it can only be said that the members of the Chinese team are more shocked than everyone else. For the first time Realize the huge impact an NBA superstar can have on the game.

Even the old coach Jiang Xingquan didn't know what to say.

When it comes to tactics, what else are there to talk about? The game has never been that simple. The Li Yao combination has a crushing height and good control over rebounds. The backcourt players are so exaggerated that they can even play the fast break of the Dream Team, and inspiring There is no need for morale, because the team's morale has reached its peak now, and even this timeout was forced by the American team.

The whole team shouted loudly until the timeout was over.

The two sides returned to the court again, and this time...

Rudy focused on defense and made substitutions. Because of Yao's efficiency, the method of double-teaming Li Shengli could no longer be used, so he sent Mourning, the strongest defender, to the court to defend Li Shengli alone.

…

The effect of Mourning's presence is indeed good, and he does have a desperate attitude.

Unlike O'Neal, although Mourning is a little taller, his center of gravity is more stable, and Li Shengli cannot quickly hit the basket with his back. It seems that turning over and shooting is the best choice, but... Li Shengli did not choose that, but instead The ball was given to Dayao, allowing Dayao to single out McDyess.

On the one hand, Dayao needs opportunities to perform, and on the other hand, from a game perspective, if Dayao takes action and can be a more stable backhand, the game benefits will be higher.

However, what Li Shengli didn't expect was that Yao played very smoothly and wittyly.

You must know that McDyess usually plays the fourth position. It is not easy for Dayao to use his feet to sway his opponent, but with his good touch and height difference, his turnaround jump shot is very practical. In the end, he even became more and more fierce. The big and small hooks in the basket are also extremely smooth, and within a few minutes, it was a pure singles, beating McDyess.

An offensive explosion does not count as a total explosion.

What surprised everyone was... On the defensive end, Dayao also beat McDyess. Poor McDyess was blocked two big shots in a row. In fact, height is good for blocking shots. The Jazz's mammoth Mark -Eaton is like that.

…

"What the hell, single-handedly destroy McDyess?!"

"It's impossible, this...McDyess is the core insider of the Nuggets!"

"Damn, this hook is a bit..."

"The problem is that there is also this defense. If he is paired with Li, how will he play inside?"

"It's really unbelievable!"

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"I think it's okay. I have the basics, but without Li's coordination, I wouldn't be where I am now!"

"Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about!" Garnett said inexplicably happily: "You can't believe it, we have all practiced with this Yao before. Unless we are against a very strong inside line, it will be difficult to beat him, and more importantly, ...Look at this hook, you must have never imagined that Li also found Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a teacher for him, a super giant sparring partner, a famous teacher, a future star, damn, just tell him how awesome he is."

this……

Is this still a cool question?

At this time, the U.S. team's bench was filled with astonishment, and Garnett, who knew the inside story, had a natural sense of superiority to explain Yao's origins to his confused teammates. As for Rudy... his face was ashen with a hint of extreme and even jealousy. excited.

…

Now that the inside line is completely impossible to penetrate, the only way is to fire from the outside line.

So, when the score difference quickly advanced to 16 points, Rudy immediately replaced Carter and asked Kidd to form a three-back backcourt with Ray Allen and Alan Houston. The American team on the field was replaced again... …

Kidd's organizational skills are very strong, and he can definitely feed his teammates until they vomit. This time when paired with Ray Allen and Alan Houston, it is even more vivid. He uses breakthroughs to bring the defense inside, and then uses all kinds of incredible postures. Show off operations and feed Ray Allen and Alan Houston well.

Until the end of the second quarter.

The Li Yao combination can still maintain extremely high efficiency, and Ray Allen and Alan Houston teamed up to shoot a total of 7 three-pointers and scored 4, including a small number of others who took the pie. Even with everyone fighting for rebounds, the peak of 16 points in the second quarter only dropped to 13 points.

A 13-point halftime lead is common, but leading the Dream Team is far less common.

Until the second half... Jiang Xingquan did not replace the Li Yao combination, because both of them did their best in offense and defense. Dayao scored 12 points in one quarter, so he could only replace the other three positions, using physical strength. , strong defense.

…

In the backcourt firepower of the US team in the second quarter, Ray Allen and Alan Houston were online at the same time, but Ray Allen's three-pointers were 3 of 4 and Alan Houston was 1 of 3, so in the second half... Rudy directly Allen Houston was also removed, and Payton and Ray Allen, who had assists but had stronger offense, formed a double guard.

At the same time, three insiders, Mourning, Rahim, and Garnett, came on the court at the same time to take care of Li Yao.

This trio can ensure that when one person is double-teamed, there is still room to take care of another person. Even if the offense will shift to the outside, or even a situation of more hits and less, Rudy is not afraid, because no matter how the opponent's outside is, It is impossible to be more efficient than Li Yao.

This kind of trade-off is easy to choose, not to mention that if the opponent misses the outside shot... I have more control over the rebounds with three inside shots. What really depends on Ray Allen's firepower.

So, the third quarter started again.

There were no big problems in the first half of the quarter, but after half a quarter, Li Shengli found that it was not going to work, because Rudy's method increased the intensity of the inside confrontation, and physical strength was the biggest problem that troubled his side. Dayao started in just one and a half quarters. There is a dip in form, but the US team is averaging 30 to 40 minutes per game, so there is no need to worry about this.

In the first half of the quarter, the Chinese team held on for 10 points.

But the situation in the second half of the quarter was quite serious... Ray Allen really became a three-point killer. After continuing his 4-for-3 efficiency, he had four more three-pointers. This time it was still 3-for-4, and the total was 6-for-8, 75%. Three-pointers, no team in the NBA can withstand this kind of attack power.

So the old coach Jiang Xingquan also started to make substitutions.

Dayao was replaced by Da Zhi, but the situation Da Zhi encountered now was different from the first quarter. The US team came up with three inside players, which made it difficult for him to maintain his previous efficiency, and his shots could only be transferred outwards, but the problem is... ...Rudy seemed to have guessed that foreign defense experts like Payton arrived early. The Chinese team's top shooters were efficient, but their efficiency could not catch up with Ray Allen's fatal three-pointers.

After the third quarter, the peak score difference reached 16 points, but it immediately dropped to 3 points.

Just one section of the matter made Li Shengli realize that... it was really too difficult. This was simply not a problem that one person could solve. With Dayao and Dayao being targeted one after another, he could not use the two-point chisel. A fatal three-pointer from Ray Allen.

Even Li Shengli felt...According to Rudy's arrangement, even without Ray Allen's 6-of-8 three-pointers, even if others came up to maintain two points efficiently, the Chinese team would not be able to survive the fourth quarter.

…

The fourth quarter of the ebb and flow.

Because each quarter of the Olympic Games only lasts 10 minutes, Li Shengli does not have physical problems for the time being, but the same thing is that the American team does not have physical strength, and even has more physical strength. In the last quarter... Li Shengli beat Garnett, Mourning, etc. with bloodshot eyes. Raheem, McDyess, and Baker took turns and double-teamed each other, but the 3 points they scored in the final quarter were still missed, and they even gave the US team 3 points.

The last half of the quarter.

Jiang Xingquan quickly pulled Li Shengli back and asked Dayao and Da Zhi to fight. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue to fight for opportunities. It was because he was afraid that Li Shengli would have problems and affect the subsequent games. To be able to fight like this today was unimaginable in the past. Things that I dare not think about include other people who think the same way, so even though I am at a disadvantage, my face is still full of joy and sorrow.

"Coach Jiang, are you going to stop playing?" Li Shengli asked as he sat back on the bench.

"It's very good now. Don't affect the next game!" Jiang Xingquan was only happy and excited now. He looked at Li Shengli and whispered: "Shengli, don't laugh at me, an old man, and my teammates. You are playing in the NBA. People, you are used to this kind of intensity, but they are not. Being able to fight like this today has far exceeded my expectations. The road must be walked step by step. No one can become fat in one bite. Also, I am really not afraid of your jokes. , if we can get a card back this time, then we will have a historic breakthrough."

"They are all members of my own family. No matter what the joke is, it is not a joke!" Li Shengli respected Jiang Xingquan, the old man, and it was really not easy for him to survive until now. When Jiang Xingquan heard about it, his family members also smiled with relief.

Li Shengli continued: "As for you wanting a medal, it should be no problem. Our opponents behind us cannot be stronger than the American team. The knockout rounds will not be too difficult. Now look at how Dayao and the others are playing. I am most concerned about it now." Dayao’s…”

"I knew you were here for Yao Ming!" Jiang Xingquan interrupted Li Shengli.

"You know this too?"

"You guys still think this is a secret? I guess you are the only one who thinks it is a secret. In fact... everyone in our country who is engaged in basketball knows it." Jiang Xingquan glanced at Li Shengli and said: "Now that Wang Zhizhi has gone to the NBA, maybe you see The only one left here is Yao Ming, who doesn’t know yet?”

"Besides... you have spent a lot of money in China, setting up foundations and building basketball schools. Our older generation of basketball players all know that this is a great thing. I guess you are the only one who has the ability to do it. This kind of thing, so a few old friends and I also made a plan. If Yao Ming wants to go out, we will help if we can. You also know...not everyone can talk about some things. After all, we are talking here. Where there is favor, people gain more face when they get older.”

"But this is Yao Ming's own business."

"As for you...you probably don't care about the small bonus, so when I go back this time, I will drag people to promote you. I am not a tabloid media. I will find the official media to promote you, let you have a good time, and let you have a good time in the future. Take care of your family in the NBA."

Don't care about the bonus?

You don’t care if I ride on a horse, okay?

As for publicity, Li Shengli felt that it was unnecessary, but Jiang Xingquan's words made him feel that this old Jiang was very real and his relationship was much closer.

"I think...this publicity is unnecessary, right?"

"Why is it not necessary? People have to return to their roots after falling leaves. When you get old and come back, you must still have enough face at home. Otherwise... I'm afraid that you, kid, are not balanced. After all, you are the only one with money. We can support the construction of our country's basketball career. If your kid runs away, who will we look for?"

"I... I ran... Damn it, are you thinking about me here? What are you doing? It's hard for me to make money."

"Hahaha, stop talking nonsense, look, this game... we are almost losing!"

"Didn't I say that you are still so happy after losing?" Li Shengli glanced at the scoreboard. Halfway through the last quarter, the Chinese team lost by 3 points, but towards the end of the game... it was only 7 points, which was not broken. pair.

"You kid don't understand at all. Within 10 points, we actually won, defeated ourselves!"

"I'm too lazy to understand!" Li Shengli's relationship with this old coach has become much closer, so he didn't need to be too polite when he said: "If you win within 10 points, just wait, there is no American team behind, I will give you more points. Is there nothing wrong with your heart? Do you want to prepare some heart-saving pills or something?"

Heart-saving pill?

Who do you look down on?

Jiang Xingquan pretended to glare at Li Shengli and cursed: "What a life-saving pill, you kid, get out of here. I've also seen big storms. What kind of scene have I not seen? You can scare me, come on, scare me." !”
