Healing Basketball

Chapter 766 766. Dream Slash Seven, enter the final!
The US team called a timeout again. Coach K felt that the timeout might not be enough, but he had to call it.

需要让安东尼休息一下了，他已经在对面车轮战肉搏下打了16分钟、12投6中拿到17分5板了。

Anthony can't play the most stable single point, so the core tactics of Hinrich, Brad Miller and Jamison are actually not good.

Joe Johnson's shooting ability and singles ability are not lost to Anthony.

But Joe Johnson's problem is that he likes to play back at close range and pull up at a high position in singles. These two tricks are not easy to use in the international arena. The opponent's center does not need to leave the three-second zone, and the high position can be used.

In tactics, although Joe Johnson is the first scoring point, his style of play is that of a pitcher during the Suns period.

Therefore, the old coach K replaced Hinrich, Brad Miller and others with Wade, James, Bosh, Howard, and Joe Johnson, who scored well tonight.

This time he went to the World Championships, James' latest nickname-Son of America.

ESPN has hyped up a topic-in 02 and 04, the United States has lost two consecutive World Series, and KING James will lead the dream team to regain glory.

Since being replaced at the beginning of the first quarter, James, who was replaced in the second half of the first quarter, performed quite well and did not have much credit, but he was not as strong as the beginning.

Now, the teammates' feeling for James is still the mature and stable KING.

The lineup belonging to Anthony fought for most of the quarter, but still could not narrow the point difference. The teammates put their hopes on the lineup belonging to James.

But the old coach K said to the assistant coach and Syracuse University coach Jim Boyham: "I admit that I am betting, but I can't help it. I also hope that I have players like Bryant and Kidd. I really envy you, you can have the honor to coach a player like the warden..."

The corner of Boyham's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that the player who was included in the team by the way to please Anthony would one day become the best player in the world. If he had known, he wouldn't have stopped his daughter from hooking up with this kid.

Boyham turned his attention back to the game. He has been an assistant coach of the US men's basketball team since 00. He knows that with the lineup led by James, it is no problem to bully the average strong team, but against a championship-level strong team, Unless the opponent carelessly underestimates the enemy, James, Wade, and Howard can't rush through the basket protected by the opponent.

As for Liu Xiu, Boyham's deepest impression on this genius who has been coaching for a year is not his staggering speed of progress, but his score and stability...

After the timeout, Silver Fox did not replace Yao Ming. The second quarter was to let Yao Ming play full. Liu Xiu ranked No.2 in the average playing time of this World Championships, second only to Milicic who averaged 36 minutes per game. Others The players sent to the three positions are Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, and Yi Jianlian.

After the game restarted, in the eyes of the players of the US team, James' performance this time disappointed his teammates again...

Seeing the opposing lineup on the field, Liu Xiu immediately ordered his teammates to adjust their defense—Sun Yue followed Joe Johnson’s pick and roll, and whoever was on the opposite side and Joe Johnson’s pick and roll would switch to Joe Johnson, and Sun Yue didn’t need to switch. Chasing and defending Joe Johnson, not giving any chance.

Not only James and Wade, but even Bosh, if they want COSCO shots, they will vote for them. Yi Jianlian pay attention, and fight against Bosh when he is chasing Bosh.

This defensive strategy is simple and brainless, but it works!
In the last 4 minutes of the first half, the US team only scored 6 points, while the Chinese team steadily scored 10 points!
半场打完，刘秀半场25分3板6助攻，带领中国队以58比46领先美国队12分进入中场休息！
...

Even if Liu Xiu scored another 8 points in the second quarter and the Chinese team scored 24-20 in the second quarter, the players of the Chinese team still dare not relax in the slightest.

Because of their 24 points in the second quarter, Liu Xiu scored 8 points, and Yao Ming scored 11 points, that is, only 5 points were scored by people other than the two.

That's clearly not a healthy scoring distribution.

Of course, whether the score distribution is healthy or not is completely unimportant, as long as you can win the game.

From the coaching staff to the players, the thinking of the Chinese team has changed now - from unlimited impact to conservative, ready to survive the second half steadily.

But after returning from the intermission, the situation was somewhat different from what the Chinese team had expected.

Team USA is down!
At the beginning of the third quarter, Wade, who was in control, made a lot of mistakes. Joe Johnson, who shot very steadily in the first half, hit the iron again and again. Jamison, Bosh, Brad Miller and others had no fighting spirit. Impulsive, but if you rush in, you will be hated...

In this situation, even Hinrich, who is regarded as "born to be a leader" and calls himself a "general", can't control the rhythm!

In the first 7 minutes, the US team did not score a single point. It was not until Wade hit an angry three-pointer from the outside that the deadlock was broken.

Throughout the third quarter, the US team only scored 7 points!
But there is one thing to say, the U.S. team played a few blind shots and fought recklessly on the defensive end. The defense in the third quarter was good. The whole quarter only allowed the Chinese team to score 15 points, and 15 of these 6 points were Liu Xiu got 4 points and Yao Ming scored [-] points. The only other players were Wang Zhizhi who scored a three-pointer and Yi Jianlian who scored a counter-attack dunk.

But even though the Chinese team's offensive performance in the third quarter was so poor, they only scored 15 points. At the end of the third quarter, the score still came to 73 to 53, and the Chinese team's lead came to 20 points.

The game took!

...

The US team players lost confidence and lost their fighting spirit!

In this World Championships, they only have two axes. The team offensive lineup led by Anthony and assisted by Hinrich and Brad Miller; the impact lineup led by James and assisted by Wade, there is no third big axe.

The team led by Anthony lost to the team led by Liu Xiu, and the team led by James was shot to death by Yao Ming alone... How does this make the teammates talk about confidence?How can there be fighting spirit when you come back from the halftime break?

And it's not just a problem with this World Championships. Four of the top five picks in 03 played in the Athens Olympics two years ago. -Miller can't stand Sambo's sticky ball style...

At the end of the quarter, facing a 20-point difference, Hinrich and Anthony still tried to lead the team to a wave.

Their ability is online, and Yao Ming played the second and third quarters. In the last quarter, he only squatted under the basket to protect the frame. The close-range defense was out of control. 28 points, and limited the Chinese team to only 19 points in a single quarter, but this is still too far from a comeback...

靠着刘秀26投14中，其中三分球8中5，加上9中8的罚球，拿到41分6板9助攻3抢断，姚明拿到22分14板2助攻5盖帽，易建联17分5板1抢断2盖帽……中国队以92比81大胜美国队，晋级决赛！
