In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 211
The game started at 09:30, which is also the last game of the day, and the other four opponents in the group will focus on this.

The interview team led by Zhang Lili and Xu Jicheng came to the Chinese team. The starting lineup of the Chinese team was a bit beyond everyone's expectations. Li Xiaoyong and Guo Shiqiang no longer appeared in the starting lineup, replaced by Zhang Tian, ​​Hu Weidong, and Sun Jun. It can be said that the Chinese men's basketball team has an outside shooting ceiling, and the inside is Yao Ming and Liu Yudong. Although his height does not have any advantage when facing Harder and Wen Baker, he is really the strongest player in the fourth position in China. Now, just like Guo Ailun behind him, no matter how Zhang Tian slanders him, he cannot be changed. He is the strongest point guard in the men's basketball team, bar none.

Like his eldest nephew, Liu Yudong is limited by his talent and style of play. He will struggle very much against the European and American powerhouses, especially after Shan Tao and others quit the national team. The banner of the Chinese men's basketball team.

"Xiao Zhang, did you prepare for the No. [-] position in this game?" Xu Jicheng was curious about this fellow. It seemed that Zhang Tian had never played the No. [-] position before.

Zhang Tian knew that when the roster came out, it would definitely cause commotion, "Yes, this is the tactic we prepared, and the number one position is no stranger to me, because I played from the number one position when I was young. Yes. So there is still some proficiency in this position, and this position in the game is more of a test of on-the-spot prediction.”

Zhang Lili stretched out the microphone again, "Xiao Zhang, today you will face Kidd, Payton, the most difficult No. [-] position in the NBA, is there any pressure?"

Zhang Tian shook his head. Those two people are strong, but they are not weak. Moreover, they have completely different attitudes in the national team and the club. After all, there is no salary for the national team. The players just deal with it and it's over.

Tom Kinovich didn't expect Jiang Xingquan to be so bold, but the list of the competition had already been submitted, so he could only solve it by substituting players halfway.

On the US team, Kidd is at the first position, Iverson at the second position, Carter at the third position, Raheem at the fourth position, and Wen Baker at the fifth position. Yao Ming chatted for a long time. This [-] talent show is very welcome for the Chinese twin stars to join the Grizzlies.

"Okay, the game will start right away. To be honest, our lineup doesn't have any advantages except Xiao Zhang. Now it depends on their performance."

Kidd wore the No. [-] jersey and stood in front of Zhang Tian. At the same time, the ball hit the floor with a bang. Zhang Tian didn't care about Kidd's fake moves. All his attention was on the ball, because Zhang Tian I don't believe that Kidd will take the initiative to attack, even if he is not the one behind, but the style of the opponent determines that he is used to putting the pass in a more forward position.

Sure enough, No. [-] of the U.S. team scrambled for a long time and passed the ball to the inside. Wen Baker, an alcoholic with the same number as Yao Ming, didn’t seem to be drinking tonight. Stretched, although his wingspan is not very long, but it is enough to cover the head of the American alcoholic. With a bang, Wen Baker hit the ball, but the rebound was picked up by Rahim on Liu Yudong's head. Lightly tossed the jersey and flew into the basket.

Facing the ball, Liu Yudong had nothing to do. For the Chinese team, Zhang Tian patted the ball and pushed forward quickly, while Kidd started to give him physical contact, preventing Zhang Tian from shooting outside, and Zhang Tian jumped forward. He turned around step by step and passed Kidd very comfortably. Iverson had no idea of ​​helping to defend.Zhang Tian made an easy mid-range shot from the left elbow.

"Beautiful, Xiao Zhang, scored the first point for our Chinese team, he played too calmly."

Tomjanovich looked at the bench. If Iverson continued to ignore Zhang Tian and not help defend, then he should come down for a rest.

Kidd also wanted to return Zhang Tian, ​​but Zhang Tian didn't get close to No. [-] of the US team at all, and stayed ten meters away from him, and even made a gesture of please.

Jiang Xingquan was stunned on the sidelines. Is Zhang Tian giving points to Kidd in vain?There was no reason for the opponent not to shoot the ball. It was open. Kidd was stunned for a second, and he really chose to shoot. The ghostly figure of the red number seven appeared above his head, took the ball off, and then made a long pass to find Hu Weidong who had already flown to the American half, and the latter scored an easy dunk.

Hu Weidong and Zhang Tian clapped their palms together. It was a great quick attack, but when facing European and American powers in the past, he rarely had the opportunity to perform like this.

Tomjanovich chose to pause, "Allen, your speed should be able to catch up with the shooting guard of the Chinese team, why didn't you do that."

As a two-time crown coach and the father of chicken soup for the soul, Tomjanovich has his own pride and authority. The expression on Iverson's face is still very unruly, "Sorry, Mr. Coach, my basketball philosophy is only offensive and not defensive. this phrase."

It is simply unrealistic for Iverson to become a super defensive player due to his height and shape. When Larry Brown began to implement the four-guarantee-one tactic in Philadelphia, he would not need him to defend. He only needed the former to score. Okay, so Iverson's defense is getting worse day by day.Although his defense has never been better.

Tomjanovich nodded, "Very well, then go ahead, I hope you can show your value on the court."

Ray Allen didn't speak. Regarding this trip to the Olympics, he personally took it lightly, because the team should not have too many big names. When Iverson heard that he was replaced, his face turned green, and then he sat down to drink water. The machine went to the end, this move is to protest Tang Shuai's approach.

After Ray Allen came on the field, the US team's defense did improve a lot. Hu Weidong didn't score so easily, but Zhang Tian is not dead-brained. Old Hu can't play and Lao Sun is there. Carter's defense is not good. land.Zhang Tian still breaks through to the inside, attracts the defense, and plays for Sun Jun. Sun Jun's skills are not as comprehensive as Hu Weidong, but as the Jilin Tiger King, his strength does not need to be questioned, and he gave Zhang Tian the No. 34 jersey , From the point of view of wearing No. 11, the opponent deserves Zhang Tian to feed the cake, because Liu Yudong will not be so happy to give up the NO.[-] jersey to Yao Ming.

Jiang Xingquan leisurely sat back on the coach's bench, and Tang Shuai's anger value reached the max state again.
