I’m Really Playing Basketball

The U.S. team is in danger now, without Barkley reminding, the U.S. team knows it.

Yao Ming spent a lot of time in the first half, so in the second half, Yao Ming will have a lot of playing time.

Yao Ming only played 6 minutes in the first quarter, but in the third quarter, Yao Ming would play at least eight minutes, or even the entire third quarter.

This is very scary for the American team.

In this minimum of eight minutes, how many points will the US team lose?

And these lost points, can the US team recover them in the rotation time?

If the two sides did not rotate in the second half of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter of this game, Coach K and the US team can indeed imagine.

However, Chen Xiao's rotation has played against the US team. The US team has an advantage in rotation, but it's not that big.

But the US team's starting disadvantage is as big as imagined.

Of course, Wade's presence will reduce this disadvantage, but reducing the starting disadvantage will only reduce the advantage of rotation.

Because now Coach K has discovered what is the biggest problem of the US team, that is, there is only one Wade!

There is only one player on Team USA who is invincible under FIBA ​​rules.

But the Chinese team has two!

The formation of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming in FIBA ​​is like the formation of the No. 1 and No. 2 dominant players in NBA history. The formation of Jordan and O'Neal is even stronger than the formation of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming in FIBA. Jordan and O'Neal.

After all, Chen Xiao can still do a lot of things that Jordan can't do.

In short, after the first half, Coach K and the American team were indeed in a desperate situation.

Under Chen Xiao's instigation, the American team relied on thickness and overall advantages. They did have the advantage of the game, but they failed to turn the advantage of the scene into a scoring advantage.

Because no matter how strong their overall thickness is, they cannot prevent the Chinese team from scoring.

Even, they haven't been able to score as well as the Chinese team.

Therefore, the third quarter of this game has become the most critical quarter for the American team.

If the U.S. team's disadvantage is stretched in the third quarter, then this game...

"Now, the fate of Team USA is no longer in our own hands!"

It's frustrating, but this is reality.

What is even more desperate than reality is that Yao Ming and Chen Xiao are both the two most stable players in the NBA.

In other words, even if they bet on status and feel, they are at an absolute disadvantage.

Of course, this game has reached such an extent that neither Coach K nor the US team can admit defeat.

Since the third quarter is the key, as long as the point difference of 4 points can be maintained in the third quarter, or even slightly narrowed, then Yao Ming will not dare to rest more during the rotation stage of the fourth quarter, and the advantage of the thickness of the US team's lineup can be revealed. Only the American team has a chance to fight back.

Since it is impossible to stop the Chinese team's offense, the only way is to strengthen our own offense!

I have to say that Coach K is really a person who dares to make adjustments to the team and is also a person who dares to gamble.

In the third quarter, in order to strengthen the US team's offense, Coach K arranged a more extreme lineup.

James, Anthony, McGrady, Kobe, Wade.

This is a lineup similar to the Nets' five forwards.

Since Bosh, Howard and Oden, no one can defend Yao Ming one-on-one. Since the three centers of the team are younger brothers in front of Yao Ming, why don't I just abandon them, even though we have no height at all, But it has the ability to move.

There is no doubt that this lineup of James, Anthony, McGrady and Kobe Wade is really buggy in terms of movement.

No matter whether Chen Xiao has the ball or Yao Ming has the ball, they will attack from both sides!

Crazy movement, crazy flanking attack!

There is no doubt that this defensive strategy is very extreme.

Even Pat Riley didn't dare to do this, because the Nets simply couldn't support such a defense.

Because this kind of defense plays for one quarter, the five people on the court will be physically exhausted.

Even in the Nets, there are not that many players who can play as the five forwards. How can this be done if the physical strength of five people is wasted at once?

After all, the game is not just one quarter or half a quarter.

However, the American team can play with such extreme strategies and tactics.

Because, even if James, Anthony, Tracy McGrady, Kobe, and Wade are all physically exhausted, as long as they can hold on in the third quarter, the US team still has a chance to win.

Because even without these five people, the US team can still put together a winning lineup.

Chris Bosh, Boozer, Ron Howard, Arenas, Chris Paul, plus Howard and Oden, the US team still has a chance to win.

After all, with the US team's crazy defensive strategy, it's not just the five of them who lost their physical strength. The two cores of the Chinese team, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, will consume less physical strength?

It can be said that the strategy that Coach K came up with is a strategy of killing 800 enemies and causing 1,000 or even 1,500 self-losses.

However, the US team's lineup can withstand a loss of 1,500, but the Chinese team, can you withstand a loss of 800?

Therefore, when the third quarter started, Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and the players of the Chinese team were shocked. The Chinese audience at the scene and the American audience in front of the TV were shocked.

Even the basketball experts, commentators, and reporters who were following this game were all shocked.

Because during the half-time break, one of the things they were discussing was how the US team was in such a desperate situation and how to break it.

They are in different places, but in the end, their discussion results are quite consistent, that is, the US team is finished, and the US team has no possibility of winning.

In this game, Chen Xiao used his own power to break the two major schemes of Coach K, and finally relied on his own power to hold on to Yao Ming's absence, which meant that it was impossible for the US team to win.

The advantage of the US team's lineup thickness can't be played out at all now.

To be honest, no one thought that Coach K would be so crazy and come up with such a strategy to take advantage of the thickness of the US team.

"Infinite flanking! Infinite flanking! Infinite flanking!"

"Every run of the American players on the court seems like a sprint!"

To be reasonable, as the commentator of NBC for this game, Barkley and Chris Webber were shocked but also heartbroken.

The players of the US team have never worked so hard in the Olympics or in the international arena!

"No matter what the final result of this game is, this game will be a game that will be recorded in basketball history!"

"In this game, the Chinese team made the United States lower their stance. It was unbelievably low. Huge respect for basketball!”

"It turns out that for the players of the US team, the Olympic champion is not dispensable, and they can also give everything for the Olympic champion!"

"It turns out that our international team is not the only one competing for the Olympic championship. The US team is also competing. From now on, the US team will no longer be superior to others!"

"The Chinese team's four consecutive championships in the past few years have told the world that the US team can be defeated!"

"And now, the Chinese team has told the whole world that they have pulled down the once proud and invincible American team from the mortal world!"

"So, no matter what the final result of this game is, the significance of this game to world basketball is enormous!"

On the court, fierce to tragic matches are still going on.

On the sidelines, players from Spain and Lithuania, FIBA ​​officials, and international basketball professionals were all excited at this moment.

Because the legendary Chinese team led by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming broke another barrier for them!

Of course, this is the thinking of professionals, for the live audience and the audience in front of the TV.

The tragic way of playing in the third quarter really shocked them almost to the point of suffocation.

Six minutes into the third quarter, the two teams scored a total of 14 points on the court, with the Chinese team scoring 7 points and the US team scoring 7 points.

The players of the American team put all their energy on defense and consumption of the two core players of the Chinese team, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

As for the players of the Chinese team, under the US team's style of play, they had no choice but to pass from Chen Xiao and Yao Ming's hands to others.

While others faced such a fierce US team, their offense was not very good.

You must know that although the U.S. team's infinite pincers are aimed at Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, it's not that they are defenseless against other Chinese players.

It can be said that the players of the U.S. team used their talents and running to set up a large mobile net, which tightly covered the Chinese team's offense.

Originally, many people said during the intermission that the third quarter was a crashing quarter for the US team.

But halfway through the third quarter, the U.S. team has not collapsed, and the difference is still 4 points. Although the U.S. team consumes a lot now, in the offensive and defensive rhythm brought by the U.S. team with its own body, the Chinese team consumes less. ?

Nothing less!

And in the face of such infinite pincers from the US team, even if Yao Ming consumed a lot, the Chinese team would not dare to replace Yao Ming.

Why?

Because after Yao Ming was replaced, the US team's unlimited pincers would only target Chen Xiao, and at the same time, the defensive pressure of the rest of the Chinese team would be even greater.

By then, the Chinese team will score even worse.

Even if the physical strength of the US team's infinite flanking Yao Ming is not used against other Chinese players, but used on the offensive end, then the US team also has an advantage!

"When Coach K uses these five American players to attack infinitely, it means that he will die with the Chinese team. Even if he kills 800 enemies and loses 1500, the Chinese team will have to follow!"

Yes, the Chinese team has to follow!

After the timeout, the Chinese team did not replace Yao Ming, but still kept Yao Ming on the court.

Because, the Chinese team absolutely cannot give back their lead in the third quarter.

Yao Ming needs to persist, until how long?

Persevere until the five players of the US team no longer have unlimited physical strength to attack!

Hold on until the physical strength of the five players of the US team is empty!

And this, that means the third quarter is coming to an end.

When the third quarter played for 8 minutes, Maizi cramped on the court and was replaced by Ron Howard. This marked the end of Team USA’s endless pincer attack.

Until this time, the sweaty Yao Ming and the sweaty Kobe, James, and Wade were replaced.

At this time, the score on the court is

63 to 60.

The Chinese team still leads by 3 points.

This is a cruel result for both parties, and it is also an acceptable result for both parties.

Because for the U.S. team, their third circle did not collapse. After the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 65 to 62. The U.S. team was only behind by 3 points. , Yao Ming's physical strength is no longer that good.

And they themselves have a complete lineup.

Of course, for the Chinese team, it is also acceptable, because the Chinese team also has a lineup.

Although the core of this lineup, Chen Xiao's consumption was also as expected before the game.

Although Chen Xiao's current physical strength is still very good, it is much lower than expected before the game.

The American team's unlimited flanking attack is indeed powerful.

If it wasn't for every player in the Chinese team who had been strengthened by him to control the ball with the experience card, facing the infinite pincers of the US team, if the only outside line that could control the ball was Chen Xiao, then Chen Xiao might have to be like Maizi and the others. The game will directly empty the stamina slot.

This time it was really thanks to Hua Tsai and Xiaozhu who helped him share a lot of pressure. At the end of the third quarter, Xiaozhu and Huazi couldn't straighten up.

"Xiao Chen, let me continue in the fourth quarter, I rest for a minute is enough!"

"Need not."

Facing Yao Ming's challenge, Chen Xiao resolutely refused.

"When we are overtaken, you can come up again."

Although his current physical strength is indeed not as good as expected, but at the same time, the US team is now also missing James, lacking the boss of the department, and lacking Wade.

Howard, Boozer, Ron Howard, Arenas, Chris Paul.

Bage, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Chen Xiao, Wei Ge

Here are the fourth quarter lineups for both teams.

Faced with the unlimited defense changes of the US team, the UAE was replaced at the beginning of the third quarter and replaced by Sun Yue, who can handle the ball.

Therefore, the rotation lineup of the Chinese team still looks very strong, but what are the players of the US team such as Coach K and Kobe on the sidelines still looking forward to.

Because Chen Ling couldn't hold back the sweat on his body now.

"Xiao Chen is also in overdraft now!"

"As long as we can overtake the contrast, force Yao to come up, and persist for another 5 minutes, I can continue to play and win the game!"

James and Wade, Kobe is thinking about this at this time, and at the same time recovering his strength.

Their idea is very reasonable, however, five minutes and 30 seconds into the fourth quarter, the score on the court was 72 to 72.

Chen Xiao's lack of physical strength has indeed greatly reduced the offensive efficiency of the Chinese team, but on the other hand, facing the shrinking of the Chinese team's zone defense, the American team has repeatedly hit the iron with three-pointers. Yao Ming was not pushed forward for 5 and a half minutes.

"Three points!"

When Yao Ming appeared on the court again with 4.5 minutes left in the game, Coach K on the sidelines yelled and squatted on the ground in despair.

The game ended, 86 to 82!

At the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the entire Wukesong, the entire capital city, and the entire China were boiling.

"The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the American men's basketball team and won the Beijing Olympic Games!"

"The Chinese men's basketball team has completed the five-time championship that has shocked the past and the present!"
