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

The American team serves, Harden catches the ball and dribbles across half court, waits for Davis to come up to cover, and then makes a smooth breakthrough and goes inside.

Li Kaiming followed Harden closely and stretched out his arms to constantly interfere with the latter.

As soon as the two of them took a step towards the free throw line, Harden suddenly put his hands together with the ball, and at the same time, he hugged Li Kaiming's arm upwards, and then pinched Li Kaiming's arm as if to cause a foul.

Fortunately, Li Kaiming reacted quickly and pulled Harden's arm away before his hands were completely closed. Seeing that Harden couldn't hold his arms, he closed his eyes again and threw his hands into the sky without knowing how to throw the ball. Where did it go? At the same time, he raised his chin and shouted in pain!

Ouch!

This is the second-generation bearded master’s unique skill in making fouls. If it were in the NBA, Li Kaiming would probably receive a foul, but unfortunately this is the Olympics, and FIBA ​​has no reason to give NBA stars any face. As for the body hair whistle update Don't even think about it.

In the international arena, you can commit fouls, but your first goal must be to score goals, not to rush to the free throw line like Harden. The referee will naturally not give a foul.

The ball barely hit the backboard. The rebound was grabbed by Yi Jianlian. The ball was passed to Guo Ailun to dribble past half court. Li Kaiming and Yi Jianlian still escorted him throughout the game.

The main reason is that although Guo's dribbling skills are very good, his physical fitness is far behind that of other countries' starting point guards. Especially when facing the top defender in history like Westbrook, it is very easy. Was intercepted, so two inside screens are a must.

After halftime, Guo Ailun obediently handed the ball to Li Kaiming. The purpose of the Chinese team bringing him to the Olympics was to train the next generation of defenders and let Guo Ailun experience the training of the competition. Even if he cannot be better than Liu Wei, he must at least be better. To possession of the ball past half-court.

Even if he is not as good as Liu Wei in other aspects, it is still acceptable. After all, the current Chinese team already has Li Kaiming. The team's tactical operation can completely rely on Li Kaiming, as long as the defender is enough.

After Li Kaiming got the ball from the outside, Davis came up to closely follow him. I have to say that this young man is really physically gifted. He is also about 2 meters tall, but has a wingspan of 1 meters, which is a little longer than Li Kaiming. However, he has the disadvantage of being a rookie. Weiss didn't fall behind either. Although he moved very fast and was the only one in America's lineup who could barely keep up with Li Kaiming, his body was still too thin.

Li Kaiming hit the ball and supported the ball protector. Even though Davis could not lose position throughout the whole process, Li Kaiming could still break through to the penalty area with him, then turned around and wiped it in, hitting a fadeaway jumper!

36 to 27!The American team didn't score a single point in the second quarter, but was widened by the Chinese team.

So in this offense, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Carmelo Anthony at the waist. After receiving the ball, the latter made an iconic triple threat action, shook Zhu Fangyu away and then hit the ball!

36 is better than 29!

Looking back, America began to double-team Li Kaiming, who passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi, who was open in the bottom corner. However, there was something wrong with Wang Zhizhi's choice of the ball. Instead of taking a direct shot, he used a fake move, although it flew away. The opponent, but the chance to take action in the bottom corner is gone because the help defender next to him has arrived.

So Wang Zhizhi dribbled the ball and began to break through inside. After reaching the edge of the penalty area, he faced Davis, who was assisting in defense. Although the thick-browed brother was taught various lessons against Li Kaiming, his physical talent and exaggerated defensive coverage made Wang Zhizhi's trademark Turned around and leaned back and directly shot a three-pointer.

America's rebound positioning was much more focused than in the first quarter. Anthony and Durant combined to block Li Kaiming, and in the end the rebound was grabbed by Durant.

This time Durant did not pass the ball, but dribbled to the frontcourt himself. Because the Chinese team was defending a zone, Li Kaiming acted as the last defensive line under the basket to protect the frame. The defender on the outside was short and Durant dribbled over. Directly hit the three-pointer!

36 is better than 32!

Durant is more difficult to solve. If he keeps holding the ball and attacking from the outside, the only way to limit him is to give up zone defense and let Li Kaiming defend Durant alone.

However, as a result, the Chinese team's defensive system collapsed. With the abilities of America and the others, if the Chinese team gave up man-to-man zone defense, even with Li Kaiming at the basket, they would definitely be washed away!

So Deng Dehua decided to continue to maintain the zone defense tactics. It was acceptable for Durant to play two occasionally, but he couldn't let Durant play too easily, so he gave Wang Zhizhi a message. As long as Durant dribbles the ball and plays from the outside, Wang Zhizhi directly changed positions with the defender on the line to avoid allowing Durant to score consecutively due to the height difference.

The Chinese team dribbled the ball past half-court, and the ball was still given to Li Kaiming at the waist. When receiving the ball this time, America's double-team came very quickly. Durant and Davis had long arms. The siege prevented Li Kaiming from finding a chance to pass the ball for a while, so he could only dribble and take a step back to distance himself while quickly observing the trends on the court.

When Durant saw that Li Kaiming had dropped the ball, he immediately returned to his opponent and did not give Li Kaiming a chance to directly pass the ball into the open space.

Davis also followed suit, like a newborn calf, trying his best to guard Li Kaiming.

As soon as Li Kaiming saw the situation, he knew he had to do it himself, so he pushed the ball to change direction. Davis reacted quickly and twisted his hips to turn his body to face Li Kaiming's attack direction.

And Li Kaiming's ball was not a simple push to change direction. He found that Davis was guarding him. After pushing the ball, Li Kaiming directly used the hand on the same side to backhand the pushed ball back, using a Sam Goad-style change of direction. He shook Davis directly away, then rushed to the basket with the ball with both hands, and dunked with two hands through Durant who came over from defense!

38 is better than 32!

The Chinese fans in the entire arena exploded!Only Li Kaiming can play this kind of career highlight game in the Olympics!

Davis still seemed unconvinced. When he served out of the baseline, he slammed the ball in his hand with his hand to vent his anger.

Zhang Weiping in the broadcast area was very happy when he saw this scene, "Anthony Davis looks very dissatisfied with his defensive performance, but young man, you are still too impatient. The opponent is the one you have to chase throughout your career. You Isn’t it a bit too much to think about guarding him when he comes up?”

This idea is not only held by Zhang Weiping, almost most Chinese fans think so.

What are you, a rookie, so crazy about?Isn’t it right to be unable to guard against Li Kaiming?

The rotation lineups of both sides played for less than half a quarter, and then coach K took the initiative to take back the starting lineup. The rotation lineups kept playing, but the point difference was not much closer. It is still 43 to 38. Although America The score difference was reduced to 5 points, but this was not the result that Old K wanted.

The other four starters of the Chinese team have returned from rest. Li Kaiming is still on the court. After the American team reaches the frontcourt, the ball is given to James to organize the offense. Kobe uses the screen to move without the ball from one side to the other.

James dealt the ball at the top of the arc and Kobe turned around and threw it, hitting Sun Yue's defense!

43 to 40, beside the bench of the Chinese national team, Deng Dehua's hands were clenched involuntarily.

Although the Chinese team has maintained a weak lead so far, the American team is eroding the hard-won results of the Chinese team. Now there is only a one-goal gap.

Liu Wei dribbled the ball past half court, and Li Kaiming stepped up to pick and roll. After the tight block allowed Liu Wei to get rid of his defender, Li Kaiming turned around and rushed to the basket. At this time, Tyson Chandler, who was guarding Li Kaiming, and America's power forward Kevin Love, both rushed towards the basket, trying to prevent Li Kaiming from attacking the basket.

Feeling that the opponent was almost shrinking, Li Kaiming passed a pass from behind to Yi Jianlian, who was open in the mid-range. The latter caught the ball and shot directly. The basketball circled around the basket and finally fell in!

45 is better than 40!

The American team attacked. James organized the ball in the frontcourt. He found that America's off-ball tactics were blocked by the Chinese team. James directly dropped the ball and rushed to the basket with Zhu Fangyu on his side. The Chinese team and The person on the same side of Zhu Fangyu was Yi Jianlian. The latter used to close the door with Zhu Fangyu to attack James. James suddenly turned around and passed the ball to Love who quietly retreated beyond the three-point line after breaking through halfway.

As the new All-Star three-point king, Love has a strong ability to grasp such wide-open opportunities. He can hit the ball as soon as he raises his hand!

45 to 43!America caught up with 2 points left!

Zhang Weiping's tone in the broadcast area was already trembling, "There are still 4 minutes left before the end of the second quarter. Can the Chinese team maintain its lead until the halftime break?"

This is a question on the minds of all Chinese fans. It seems that China's offense has been a bit sluggish, and America's shooting rate has been very high since returning from the starting lineup, and the momentum of the game has shifted to the opposite side.

Even Liang Zhen, who was sitting in the VIP area, although his face was still expressionless, his hands hidden under the table were clenched, and his thumb and index finger were still rubbing...

Deng Dehua actually wanted to call a timeout, but he found that Li Kaiming gestured towards the players of the Chinese team, which meant that he wanted to play singles by himself, so he suppressed his desire to call a timeout and prepared to watch first Look at the outcome of this round.

This time Li Kaiming asked for the ball directly near the center line. If he caught the ball near the three-point line, America would definitely destroy it or harass it constantly.

After Li Kaiming got the ball, all the Chinese players stood far away from the three-point line, giving Li Kaiming the maximum space to play.

Tyson Chandler was a little worried. Of course he didn't have the confidence to defend against Li Kaiming's singles, but at this time he had to hit even if he didn't, so he lowered his center of gravity as much as possible to prevent himself from being passed by Li Kaiming in one step.

Others in America also focused almost all their attention on Li Kaiming. The entire defensive formation was on the verge of breaking out, and that trigger was Li Kaiming's breakthrough.

Tens of thousands of people in the audience stared at Li Kaiming without blinking, wondering how the omnipotent he would choose to end this crucial round.

Facing Chandler with his center of gravity lowered, Li Kaiming dropped the ball and gradually approached the three-point line. He and Chandler were like two magnets with the same polarity, keeping the distance one step outside the three-point line.

Chandler stopped. At this point he couldn't back out.

Li Kaiming on the opposite side suddenly shot a three-pointer, which shocked Chandler, and at the same time he subconsciously pounced!

The audience held their breath as they watched the basketball fly out of Li Kaiming's fingertips, then hit the basket and bounce high!

Did not enter!
