against the front

Chapter 327 Death Scythe
"Yan, how do you feel?"

When the whistle sounded for the end of the first quarter, Deng Huade, who had been standing on the sidelines, took the initiative to pick up a towel and quickly walked towards Yan Hua who was leaving the field. After handing the towel to Yan Hua, Deng Huade They began to ask about Yan Hua's physical condition.

27 to 26. After the end of the first quarter, the Huaguo men's basketball team not only failed to be opened by the US men's basketball team, but also led by 1 point. Such a result undoubtedly surprised Huade Deng.

However, apart from being pleasantly surprised, Deng Huade is also very clear that this situation will not last for too long, because the reason why the Huaguo Men's Basketball team can achieve such a situation with the US team in the first quarter is the biggest reliance. Yan Hua's superb performance.

He made 9 of 5 shots, 3 of 2 free throws, 12 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal. It is no exaggeration to say that Yan Hua is both a father and a mother on the court. On the defensive end, try to make up for all the loopholes, and on the offensive end, we must sort out the offense of the Huaguo men's basketball team, especially when Liu Wei and Wang Shipeng are caught in the quagmire of the American men's basketball team, and even rely on Yan Hua to bring the ball to the frontcourt Well, even a god can't bear such consumption!

So once Yan Hua was exhausted, Deng Huade knew what would happen without even thinking about it.

It is true that apart from Yan Hua, whether it is Yi Jianlian, or Sun Yue, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, and the main players of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team, they all performed very well in this World Championships, but against the US team Well, relying on a few of them is simply not enough. If there is no Yan Hua to restrain them, their ability to create threats on the court will undoubtedly have to be discounted again. Liu Wei and Wang Shipeng are ready-made examples.

Therefore, Deng Huade is very clear that whether it is to lose a few points to the US team or continue to create miracles, the Huaguo men's basketball team must rely on Yan Hua's performance, and the only thing that can restrict Yan Hua's performance is his physical fitness.

"It's okay." After wiping the sweat off his head, Yan Hua nodded towards Deng Huade. Yan Hua knew very well that, under the intensity and exhaustion of the game, if his physical reserve can last for three quarters, it is already enough The limit was reached, but Yan Hua repeatedly warned himself in his heart that no matter what, he could not give up or shrink back. No matter what happened, he had to persevere until the end.

"Hurry up, take a good rest, and let Wang play for you for a few minutes." Although Yan Hua said that he has no problem, Deng Huade still decided to let Yan Hua rest for a few minutes first, let Wang Zhizhi replace Yan Hua, and start the second quarter. play.

When the American men's basketball team played for about 5 minutes in the first quarter, they went up and down and put in a rotation lineup. However, for the Huaguo men's basketball team, Deng Huade could only bite the bullet in order not to be widened. Keep several starters on the court, except for Sun Yue and Liu Wei who were replaced at the end of the first quarter, Yan Hua, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Shipeng, all played the entire first quarter.

Looking at the bench of the American men's basketball team, and looking at the group of people on their own bench, Deng Huade is both envious and helpless. If the men's basketball team dares to go up and down, it may collapse immediately.

After a short break, the second quarter of the game began. As the leading side, when Huaguo players appeared on the field, all of them looked serious. Looking at the posture, it seemed that Party B had already fallen behind by a large margin. , As for Yan Hua, who had already put on his coat and was sitting on the bench to rest, he also looked at his teammates who were coming on stage with a serious face.

On the other hand, the American men's basketball team all looked relaxed. Such a scene also well reflects the current mentality of the players on both sides.

"This is my advantage!" After the players from both sides appeared on the field one after another, the old coach K who was standing on the sidelines glanced at the Huaguo men's basketball bench and clenched his fists at the same time.

Although he has the confidence to win this game, the scenes in the first quarter still make the old coach K feel a little guilty, especially watching Yan Hua almost omnipotent on the court, but he is powerless. It made the old coach K even more embarrassed.

Although the defensive strategy against Yan Hua was a failure, in the entire first quarter, the American men's basketball team did not play the momentum it should have, let alone firmly suppress the Huaguo men's basketball team on the scene, but the old coach K The final result of the game has never been shaken, because compared with the Huaguo men's basketball team, the American men's basketball team has a huge advantage in lineup.

Just like now, because they only played 5 minutes in the first quarter, the starting players of the American men's basketball team are all full of energy when they reappear, but the Huaguo men's basketball team is not. The main players must now sit off the court to rest.

And this is where the U.S. men's basketball team relies the most. From starters to substitutes, and even marginal players, all twelve players can play.

Although it looked very relaxed, even before the start of the game, they were still laughing and joking, but when the whistle blew the start of the game, the American players on the field were not ambiguous at all.

After Kevin Love served the ball in the middle circle, he went straight to the basket, but before Kevin Love rushed to the basket, he heard a swish sound, and the basketball had been hollowed into the net. He turned his head and looked, standing Kevin Durant, who was half a meter outside the three-point line, still maintained his shooting posture.

Compared with the three-point line in the NBA, the three-point line in international basketball games is almost one meter closer to the basket. Therefore, for NBA players, the three-point line in international games is at best a mid-range shot with a slightly longer distance, so Those players who have excellent mid-range and long-range shots in the NBA can easily become three-pointers in the international arena.

Kevin Durant is a very typical example, although in the NBA regular season last season, Kevin Durant was crowned as the scoring champion with an average of 30.1 points per game, and stepped into the ranks of super scorers , but Durant's three-point shooting rate is not very high, only 36%. However, in this World Championships, Kevin Durant's three-point shooting rate is as high as 47%, which is simply amazing.

It is also because of the addition of Kevin Durant that the US men's basketball team will fall into a vicious circle of focusing on one thing and losing another in previous games.

The height of the inside line, the skills of the outside line, and the super mid-range and long-range shooting ability make Kevin Durant an unsolvable killer in the international arena.

However, in the first quarter of the game, because Yan Hua continued to pull the outside line to help defend, and he didn't have much playing time, and he had to undertake the defensive task of double-teaming Yan Hua, so Kevin Durant's performance Not very brilliant, but after Durant reappeared in the second quarter and lost Yan Hua's containment and deterrence, Durant was like an unsheathed sword, completely showing his edge .

"Another one, accurate, this guy is really accurate!"

In just 36 seconds of the opening of the second quarter, Kevin Durant hit two consecutive three-pointers, from 1 point behind to 5 points ahead, and the situation on the field was instantly reversed.
