Chapter 350 Russian Basketball
Russian basketball, Maozi basketball, what are their characteristics? In fact, the Chinese team is not clear. He neither has the explosive power and excellent skills of the American team, nor the team ability and solid basic skills of the European team. But why can he be able to They have always stood at the top level of world basketball, which naturally has their way.

As soon as he played, An Sheng started double-teaming with the ball at the top of the arc. This is already a normal operation for An Sheng. What he has to do now is to find a good position to pass the ball, and Sun Yue got an open shot Opportunity.

This time, before the game, the Chinese team had a small internal meeting. Although they did not expect to beat the United States at the beginning, but at the last moment, the score was close, and everyone always had to fight.However, at the last moment, everyone became soft-footed shrimps. Except for An Sheng, his shots were more unreliable than the other, and this meeting was for this one thing.Even if the game is going to be lost, the momentum must be displayed and the shot must be firm.

At this time, Sun Yue implemented this idea very strictly. He shot very resolutely, shot without any hesitation, hit the first three-pointer, and instantly opened the point difference to double digits. The Chinese fans in the audience stood up and applauded, cheering for this beautiful goal, but this was the last three-pointer scored by the Chinese team in the first quarter.

It’s not that the Chinese team gave up the three-point attack in the next half of the game. After all, when An Sheng was double-teamed, three-pointers were the most chance they had, but they couldn’t make it. It’s very simple. Russia gave The physical confrontation is really too strong.As if they had put Argentina on a plane back to South America in the quarter-finals, this time, they were being overwhelmed by physical confrontation.

Russian skills, team awareness, and basic skills are average, and their physical strength may be the most explosive team in the world basketball. When they were still in the former Soviet Union, this set caused headaches for American college students. It was at that time that NBA professional players could officially enter the world arena.

But now, Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng are definitely the thickest group of defenders in the Chinese team. However, under Russia's aggressive defense, their shots are inaccurate and their breakthroughs are ineffective. An Sheng restrained the defense of the two of them, and their performance was still a bit abnormal. In the second half of the first quarter, when An Sheng was heavily marked, the two of them only surrendered 13 of 3 shots and 6 of 1 three-pointers. In the answer sheet, this also allowed Russia to quickly recover the point difference.

"Ann is in big trouble again. His teammates are unreliable at critical moments as always, so that the point difference he established at the beginning was swallowed up by the opponent in an instant." Charles Barkley was a little worried, no more In the confrontation between China and the United States, he naturally hopes that the Chinese team can win, but judging from the current situation, it seems difficult for the Chinese team to solve Russia's muscular tactics.

"Except for Yi in the Mavericks, their other players are not qualified in the NBA in terms of physical confrontation. Naturally, they are not enough to deal with Russia. When they played against Argentina, they can still play a role with their hard work. But when dealing with Russia, the strength they showed was a bit pitiful."

"Hey, Ann would like to thank Cameron and LeBron for teaching him. Speaking of strength, these two are definitely the scariest guys in the third position. Although Ann is not as good as them, but he wants to defend them, too Poor strength may cause you to be pushed away in one step."

Except for Charles Barkley who is a little biased, the commentators on TNT don’t have much feeling. In this case, they may be more willing to see An Sheng not perform well in this game. In this case , in the selection of the Olympic MVP and the selection of the best team this time, they can vote for LeBron James and Kevin Durant as they should, but the domestic forums in China can only It's different.

"Foul, this action is obviously not a basketball action."

"This should be a three-point foul. The shooting action looks deformed."

"How could it be possible for the opponent to defend like this? I wonder if what I'm playing on the court is basketball."

Chinese fans are very anxious and dissatisfied with the penalty in this game. You can go to a strong physical confrontation to stop others when you can't defend, but in such a strong physical confrontation, Russia is only better than The Chinese team made two more fouls, which is very wrong, and when I played against Argentina in the last game, I was almost at the point where no one was available.

However, it is impossible for these protests to reach the ears of the referees. Even if they know, they will not necessarily change their penalty methods. They will have their own standards for the penalty of each game, but this time it is for physical contact. The loose penalty method is obviously not good for the style of the Chinese team.

At the end of the quarter, Andrei Kirilenko finally found the right opportunity to make a beautiful air cut, and directly completed a dunk on Wang Zhizhi in the air.This dunk also allowed the Russian team to complete the overtake in the first quarter. From being 10 points behind in the half quarter to the overtake at the last moment, Russia only took 5 minutes, and their fierce physical confrontation was also the magic weapon for their successful overtake.

But the first quarter is not over yet, there are still 7 seconds left in the game, and the basketball is in the hands of An Sheng, and he also quickly started to advance, but now the game has reached the last game, everyone has no idea about An Sheng's style Knowing enough, it is basically impossible to serve and play fast break like in the beginning.

Just after halftime, the familiar double-teams were about to surround them, and there were only 3 seconds left at the end of the first quarter. An Sheng didn't even want to pass the ball. Before the double-teams surrounded him, he directly left A super long-range three-pointer one meter beyond the three-point line.This three-pointer may seem far away from the basket to the fans now, but for An Sheng, who is used to shooting from the NBA three-point line, it is just a three-pointer slightly farther away.

At 26:24, with this three-pointer, the Chinese team completed the overtake again. After the overtake, An Sheng was very excited at this time, but after the excitement, he was deeply worried. They were in the lead, but they didn't know what to do in the next three quarters. Can it still support the torrent of steel from Russia.
