NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

Both sides scored a two-point goal after the opening. On the Spanish side, Gasol succeeded, while on the Chinese team, Li Kaiming stepped up in the second round.

Seeing Li Kaiming hit the mid-range shot from an emergency stop, the Chinese fans in the audience began to cheer!

Spain sent a baseline kick and gave Calderon a dribble halfway through. Liu Wei did not try to press or steal, but tried to keep his position in front of Calderon to avoid losing his defensive position. This is A very smart approach.

Generally speaking, professional players who play in China have a bad habit after entering the international arena, that is, they cannot control their hands and always like to reach for the ball or try to steal.

In China, everyone around us plays like this, and the level of referees is relatively low, so this so-called high-intensity physical confrontation will not be strictly punished. But in international competitions, especially competitions like the World Cup or the Olympics As the opponent's level rises, and the referees are also very professional, a very obvious feature of Chinese players after arriving in the international arena is that they are particularly prone to fouls.

The number of fouls is determined by dividing three by five and two. This is actually a very unsmart approach, but some players are still complacent and think that after they have adapted to high-intensity confrontation, they can perform like this in the international arena.

But they seem to have forgotten that basketball is a competitive sport that needs to be limited within the rules. Is physical confrontation important in basketball games? Of course it is important, but this does not mean that you can attack without restriction. When you are at home, the referee turns a blind eye, but when you are outside, who will spoil you?

If not to say that Liu Wei and his group have the best results in international competitions, it is because they have played a lot of international competitions and have a very accurate grasp of the refereeing standards in international competitions. They definitely do not take the bad habits of domestic professional leagues into account. Take it to the international arena.

After Calderon dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he stopped outside the three-point line as usual, and then asked Gasol to come up and cover after everyone was in position.

It seems that in the first round, Gasol took the opportunity to beat Yi Jianlian out of position, which made Spain think that it could still use the problem. But after all, Yi Jianlian is a player who has been a rotation and main player in the NBA for many years. He has long been an experienced player. Even if it works once, do you still want to try the same method a second time?

Therefore, Yi Jianlian and Liu Wei communicated well on the defensive end. Although Liu Wei did not completely squeeze through the screen, Yi at least kept his body behind Calderon. It was not easy for the latter to take a direct shot.

Yi Jianlian blocked Calderon first, allowing Liu Wei to successfully get into position and then immediately turned back to Gasol's side.

The core of the Spanish team on the offensive end is undoubtedly Gasol. In the international arena, his dominance is Europe's No. 1 insider, even Yao Ming at the top is not afraid.

So Calderon knew that it was unrealistic for him to score against Liu Wei, so he passed the ball to Gasol again, and then quickly opened the distance, creating a one-on-one opportunity for Gasol to beat Yi Jianlian.

During this process, Li Kaiming stood under the basket to observe the situation, and at the same time loudly ordered his teammates to move. After seeing Gasol and Yi Jianlian facing each other, Li Kaiming was also ready to make up the defense.

Gasol's physical strength was stronger than that of Yi Jianlian, so he decisively chose to dribble with his back and hit the inside. Yi Jianlian tried his best to resist two times, but Gasol turned around and dodged the third one, and then successfully passed!

After dribbling the ball three times, Gasol had already rushed to the basket. Li Kaiming directly defended him at this time. Gasol wanted to use a fake move to shake Li Kaiming up, but Li Kaiming had already polished his interior defense to the top. How could he be clicked away by a simple fake move?

Therefore, Gasol's fake move not only failed to create a shooting space, but even the little shooting space that was originally there was directly blocked by Li Kaiming.

In desperation, Gasol reluctantly passed the ball to his brother Gasol Jr. on the other side of the basket. Yi Jianlian and Li Kaiming, who followed, completed a defense switch smoothly. Gasol missed Yi Jianlian's throw. , Li Kaiming blocked Gasol and protected the rebound.

The ball was given to the open Liu Wei, who turned his back to protect the ball with his butt. After a few turns, he brought the ball steadily to the frontcourt. Although Liu Wei's posture when dribbling the ball across the half court was ugly, he looked like he didn't know how to play. They are the same as others, but they are stable and will not be easily intercepted.

After arriving in the frontcourt, the Chinese team played a tactic. Li Kaiming and Sun Yue went over to provide a double screen for Liu Wei. The Spanish side decisively let Liu Wei shoot, but the outside defender was blocked by Li Kaiming after all. Why did Liu Wei shoot in such a big space? He just dribbled the ball with his head covered and rushed inside!

Because Li Kaiming came out to cover, Gasol also followed. After Liu Wei used the space speed to add up, Gasol behind Li Kaiming couldn't keep up at all, but there was another frame-protecting monster under the basket, Gasol. Seeing this, I rushed over to block Liu Wei's layup, but the latter made a fake shot and passed it to Yi Jianlian, who was let go by Gasol.

At this time, Yi Jianlian had already reached the reasonable collision area. After receiving the ball, he suddenly jumped up and dunked with both hands!

4 is better than 2!

The first dunk of the game belongs to the Chinese team! The Huaguo fans at the scene were so excited that they started to yell. As a loyal fan of the Huaguo team, Director Zhang naturally could not control his emotions and shouted, "The Huaguo team played a beautiful coordination when they came up. Li Kaiming pulled Gasol out of the basket, and finally Yi Jianlian finished with a dunk! Everything went smoothly!"

The Spanish team obviously did not expect that the Chinese team could actually play this kind of cooperation, so during the free throws, including Gasol and Calderon, they all walked forward and communicated at the same time.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Gasol directly came to the waist position and stuck Yi Jianlian with his back to ask for the ball. Although Gasol looked handsome, as an NBA All-Star player and the uncrowned king of Europe, Yi Jianlian stole it from behind. A dunk, the pride in his heart naturally prevented him from just letting it go.

He wants to fight back and destroy the arrogance of the Chinese people!

The Spanish players were far away. Calderon passed the ball to Gasol. Yi Jianlian defended closely. In fact, he was still a little scared to face Gasol. After all, this was an All-Star insider.

At this moment, Li Kaiming's voice came from behind Yi Jianlian.

"Ah Lian, just try your best to guard him. If you can't guard him, let him in. I'm under the basket!"

There's me under the basket!

These four simple words sounded like nothing, but in Yi Jianlian's heart at this time, they were like a pair of powerful hands, supporting his somewhat unsteady heart.

After Gasol got the ball, he protected the ball with both hands, then looked around at the situation and found that no one from the Chinese team came to double-team him!

These hateful Chinese people didn't double-team me? Let this guy named Yi Jianlian guard me alone? Where did you get the courage?

Gasol was so angry that he made up his mind to make these arrogant Chinese people pay the price, and the first to bear the brunt was this boy named Yi Jianlian!

So he directly dropped the ball and pushed his back to the inside. His strength was indeed very strong. Not to mention Yi Jianlian, he could even hit Yao Ming from behind during the Huadu Olympics.

Yi Jianlian tried hard to withstand it, but as time passed, the two of them quickly moved towards the basket.

He successfully reached the basket and completed the first step of revenge. Gasol was overjoyed. Then he turned around and pushed Yi Jianlian away with his shoulder. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and was about to make a decisive hook with his right hand!

At this moment, a figure rose up from the basket, flying high as if on a spring. At the same time, it stretched out its long arms like an ape, and under the stunned gaze of Gasol and Gasol, he directly made a volleyball hat. Gasol's shot seemed to hit an elastic wall and bounced back at a faster speed!

There was a burst of exclamations in the competition venue! Not only Chinese fans, but also Spanish fans were stunned!

Did this guy grow up eating springs? So good at jumping?

Because Li Kaiming used a lot of force to block the shot, even if the ball was directed at Gasol, he could not react and grab the ball. At this time, he was still immersed in the shock of his hook being blocked by Li Kaiming. During the process, the basketball hit his arm and then quickly bounced towards the outside.

The competition for rebounds moved from the inside to the outside. Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue were the most active in the Chinese team. The two chased the ball at the same time. The opposite No. 2 and No. 3 did not give up. In the end, the four No one personally controlled the ball, and the ball flew directly into the hands of Liu Wei on the outside.

Just as the players of the Chinese national team were preparing to slowly cross the half-court for a positional battle, a figure stabbed out from behind like a bullet, then stepped out with its long long legs, stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the frontcourt. , who else could it be if not Li Kaiming?

Playing with a lineup like Spain, Li Kaiming already had some idea before the game. His advantage lies in his athletic ability, which happens to be the shortcomings of the two opponents' inside players. Therefore, he will definitely be able to use his own advantages to attack the opponent's shortcomings. Works wonders!

Sure enough, after Li Kaiming started running into the backcourt without the ball, Gasol and Gasol could only watch from behind, while other Spanish players could not guard against Li Kaiming's impact.

The most important thing is that this is an international arena. There is no way to pull down Li Kaiming with a direct foul like the NBA. If you intentionally foul and block a fast break in an international arena, you will be whistled for a physical foul. The fouled team can get two free throws. A throw, so the short guys in Spain couldn't stop Li Kaiming's long drive.

He and Li Kaiming had already played some games. Liu Wei threw the ball forward. Li Kaiming turned back and stretched out his hand to grab the ball while traveling at high speed. At this time, he had already rushed to the three-point line.

And just when the Spanish defenders were waiting for Li Kaiming to try to steal while dribbling, what happened next moment made their eyes almost pop out!

Because after Li Kaiming caught the ball, he only dribbled for a moment, and then he raised his hand to the sky and started a layup!

With the increased speed of Li Kaiming and his huge body, no one of the Spanish defenders dared to commit an offensive foul in front of him. They could only watch as Li Kaiming rushed to the basket and then made a tomahawk dunk!

The entire competition venue was completely boiling!
