Chapter 152 The Chinese team will...

During the intermission, the two teachers, Xu Jicheng and Zhang Weiping, never stopped smiling, actively analyzing the reasons why the Chinese team took the lead.

"Most of the stars of the dream team played singles, and they didn't cooperate."

"The dream team has only been training for one month, and the players don't have enough understanding."

"The dream team lacks decent shooters. The inside is assigned to the outside, and the outside can't make three-pointers. This will not open up the offensive space."

"The Dream Team doesn't quite adapt to the international rules, and they don't have three seconds of defense, which makes their low singles and breakthroughs impossible to open up."

"The Chinese team is in full swing today, and the three-pointers are very accurate!"

"The Chinese team's dual-core Yao Ming and Li Lei are in excellent condition."

"The two young players of the Chinese team, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, all made contributions, and Dazhi, Li Nan, and Du Feng also played well."

"The Chinese team played like a team, especially Li Lei. The defensive end helped his teammates check for omissions, and the offensive end also made a few good passes."

……

So, does the Chinese team have any hope of defeating the US team?
When faced with this question, the two teachers remained silent.

That's Team USA!
It's like Chinese table tennis, three out of five games, let the opponent win two games first, will the opponent dare to say that he will win?

Dare?

dare not!

The strength of American basketball is the same as that of Chinese table tennis, and that is the unique master.

Teacher Xu Jicheng said: "I can only say that there is hope, there is certain hope."

Just the three words "hopeful" made the Chinese fans climax.

Defeating the US team, that's something you can't even dream of.

In halftime, the domestic ratings of this game continued to rise.

Not only the five live broadcasts of CCTV, but also the first, second, and sixth movie channels all have subtitles at the bottom and play them in a loop.

Many people don't like basketball, but seeing the subtitles on CCTV, they still can't help but switch the TV to cctv5.

Before the second half started, the ratings had already exploded.

……

Finally, the second half of the much-anticipated Sino-US war began.

At the beginning of the game, Iverson took the ball first.

He pierced the butterfly continuously, followed by a sudden start, then an emergency stop, and then received a super difficult "lie back" jumper.

Swish!
37: 30.

This is a fairy ball.

Li Lei couldn't help it at all.

Even in the NBA, few people can do it.

The rookies Wade, Anthony, James, and Okafor on the bench of the US team exploded, jumping and shouting.

This is the super scorer.

Li Lei can now better understand Kobe's phrase "The whole world should be glad that he doesn't have a 190cm".

The Chinese team attacked.

Li Nan's long two points failed to score under Jefferson's tough defense.

In turn, Duncan seized the opportunity, caught the ball and turned around directly, making a signature wipe shot.

The speed of action was extremely fast, and the Chinese team was not given a chance to encircle and suppress at all.

37: 32.

Team USA is starting to wake up.

They relied on their personal ability to score 4 points in a row.

This is the US team. They may not have adapted to the international rules, but their strength lies there.

The Chinese team attacked.

Yao Ming showed his ability, singled Duncan in the low post, and made a fadeaway jumper after turning around.

Bukkake directly!
Duncan really couldn't prevent it.

Swish!
39: 32.

The Chinese fans who were holding their breath finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The U.S. team attacked again, and Duncan attracted double-teams in a low position and quickly moved to the outside.

Jefferson catches and shoots.

Swish!
39: 35.

Jefferson's three-pointer also opened.

The point difference suddenly narrowed to 4 points.

The US team played a wave of 7:2 offensive.

But it's not over yet.

Liu Wei dribbled forward.

Marbury pressed suddenly, causing Liu Wei's error.

After Marbury made the steal, he took the lead and scored with a dunk.

39: 37.

The US team played a 9:2 offensive wave, the situation changed suddenly, and the Chinese team suddenly became at a loss.

Only 2 points left.

Drip!

Harris called a timeout just in time.

"Give the ball to Stone!"

Harris looked at Liu Wei, and then at the other defenders of the Chinese team, with distrust on his face.

Game back.

The hearts of domestic fans have been completely raised.

"Don't make any more mistakes!"

"Score a goal!"

"Please!"

……

Wang Zhizhi served the baseline ball, Li Lei received the ball and advanced.

Iverson also used a tight press, trying to steal Li Lei.

Li Lei took his time and kept avoiding Iverson with the help of Wang Zhizhi who was slowly moving forward.

With a distance of one meter from the three-point line, Iverson tried to steal again.

Li Lei directly joined the ball, dodged past, and avoided Iverson's pressing.

At this time, the sky in front of Li Lei was like an ocean, without the slightest defense.

Li Lei jumped up and voted.

The basketball crossed a parabola, piercing the heart with an arrow.

Swish!
42: 37.

Li Lei made a key three-pointer to widen the point difference to 5 points, and the situation of the Chinese team stabilized.

Domestic fans breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Marbury stopped in a hurry and made a mid-range shot against Liu Wei.

42: 39.

At the beginning of the second half, the US team began to explode in an all-round way, relying on their personal ability to score aggressively.

"3 points, only 3 points left!"

The domestic fans raised their hearts again, clenched their fists unknowingly, and kept sweating.

The Chinese team attacked.

Li Lei took the ball and advanced.

Larry Brown reminded on the sidelines: "Allen, don't try to steal, just interfere with Stone!"

"Yes, sir!"

Iverson nodded in agreement.

Brown once coached Iverson in the 76ers. Although the two broke up in the end, Iverson is still very grateful to Brown.

It was Brown who taught Iverson to play the second position, which completely revived Iverson's super scoring ability.

Iverson no longer tries to gamble steals, but firmly stands on the defensive position.

Li Lei was not in a hurry, and called Wang Zhizhi to come out for the pick-and-roll.

Iverson was prepared and squeezed ahead of Wang Zhizhi.

But just when Iverson squeezed Wang Zhizhi, Li Lei saw the opportunity and shot immediately.

Iverson couldn't see it well, so he jumped up to interfere.

But his strength was squeezing Wang Zhizhi, unable to take off completely, coupled with the huge height difference, Iverson did not cause any interference to Li Lei at all.

And for Li Lei, such an opportunity is a bonus!
Swish!
Li Lei hit the second three-pointer in a row.

45: 39.

The difference is 6 points!
Larry Brown frowned and didn't adjust immediately.

The assistant coach of the US team looked at Brown and knew his stubbornness, so he remained silent.

Team USA attacks.

Stoudemire, who had no sense of presence in the audience, received a pass from Duncan and directly dunked Wang Zhizhi.

boom!
45: 41.

The little overlord of the NBA finally seized the opportunity.

During this period, the Chinese and American teams scored alternately, and the scene was very intense.

Domestic fans watched with trepidation, their hearts almost jumped out.

But in the eyes of the host Greek fans, this is definitely a wonderful game.

The U.S. team failed to defeat the Chinese team, and the stalemate lasted until the third quarter, which was unbelievable!
The Chinese team attacked.

It was Li Lei who took the ball and advanced.

Teacher Xu Jicheng couldn't help worrying: "If you hit the stone like this, can you persist until the end?"

Zhang Weiping was also very worried: "No way, other people can't hold the ball!"

Li Lei takes the ball at the top of the arc.

This time Wang Zhizhi took the initiative to pick and roll.

Iverson didn't dare to squeeze hard this time, that is, the moment he hesitated, Li Lei pulled up and shot.

Swish!
48: 41.

Li Lei scored three consecutive three-pointers and scored 9 points in a row, helping the Chinese team stabilize the situation.

"Roar!"

Li Lei who landed raised his head to the sky and roared furiously, hammering his chest continuously.

It's not the first time he's played like this.

In the NBA arena, Li Lei scored 15 and 16 points in a lot of games in a single quarter.

But wearing the uniform of the national team and playing on behalf of the motherland, this sense of honor and sense of mission is incomparable.

"Stone... stone... stone is too powerful!"

Teacher Xu Jicheng, who was born in a famous university, didn't know how to describe Li Lei for a while, and could only say the simplest "too amazing".

Zhang Weiping didn't feel any better, he just smirked.

In China, countless basketball fans shouted: "Good shot!"

This time, they failed to scare the wife who did the dishes.

Because the wives have already washed the dishes and watched the game with their husbands.

They didn't quite understand, so they just said, "Who is that man? He's so handsome!"

husband:"……"

The wives didn't notice that the husband was jealous, and stared straight at the TV: "The pair of shoes on his feet are also very handsome, let's go buy a pair tomorrow!"

husband:"……"

If Nike could see this scene, "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Women are visual creatures.

Just look good!
Drip!

Larry Brown finally called a timeout.

Li Lei stopped the US team alone.

Back from the timeout, Marion replaced Iverson.

Larry Brown also had to bow his head: "Iverson really can't guard against Li Lei."

It's not that Iverson is not strong, or that he doesn't work hard, it's just that his height is limited.

Li Lei is 203cm, and Iverson is 183cm, so there is still a lot of water.

Don't forget, Li Lei is not just a blue-collar worker.

He scored 30+ points in the regular season, the fourth youngest record.

In the playoffs, Li Lei is the only player in NBA history who can score 19+ at the age of 30.

Behind Li Lei are 21-year-old Kobe, 21-year-old McGrady, and 21-year-old Duncan.

After Marion came on the field, he defended Li Lei closely and gave a very strong confrontation.

Marion's defensive ability is outstanding, and he really guarded Li Lei.

But at the same time, the offensive firepower of the US team is also declining.

At this time, Marion was inaccurate in three-pointers and had no ability to attack independently. He was a hacker who relied on his talent to make a living.

His scoring ability is not on the same level as Iverson.

While Li Lei was resting, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi stood up.

The two big insiders of the Chinese team scored consecutively and maintained their lead until the end of the third quarter.

59: 52.

At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team still led by 7 points.

Teacher Xu Jicheng said in the first half that there is hope, there is a certain hope, and it has become a lot bigger at the moment.

Domestic fans have already begun to get excited.

It only takes one more quarter, which is 10 minutes, and the Chinese team will...

call!
call!
call!
They still can't imagine it!
The players of the Chinese team are also very excited at the moment. They seem to feel the expectations of countless fans, and their shoulders are heavy.

"Calm down! Play with peace of mind!"

Harris felt the tension of the players and kept urging.
