NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Until there were only 5 minutes left in the third quarter, with Lin Tian’s crazy and unsparing defense and the Chinese team’s twin towers crushing the ball at a high altitude, the U.S. team was pretty good at protecting the backboards. The festival only got 8 points for the time being!

The Chinese team was not much better. Kidd, Payton, Christie, Smith and others took turns taking care of Lin Tian, ​​so that Lin Tian had to face 2-3 players from the US team almost every time he attacked.

Not only does he consume a lot of physical energy, but his offensive efficiency is also mediocre.

As for the rest of the Chinese team, the biggest reason why the American team dared to double-team and target Lin Tian so crazily was that the other members of the Chinese team shot worse! Whether it was Hu Weidong or Sun Jun, Li Nan, and Zheng Wu who came up behind, none of them could put the ball into the basket.

In the first five minutes of the third quarter, apart from Lin Tian who scored 6 points on 1 of 4 shots from the field, only Dayao scored 2 points on a tip-in. During this period, the Huaxia team only scored a total of 6 points!

62: 58!

The U.S. team's lead slightly expanded to 4 points!

Although the gap between the two sides is still within reach, problems are beginning to arise on the Chinese team!

First of all, he had almost no rest in the first 20 minutes of the game. After the ultra-high-intensity confrontation in the third quarter, he finally couldn't hold on anymore, and his physical fitness was obviously exhausted in advance.

Jiang Xingquan could only take down the general and replaced him with the tall and strong Daba, but Daba's offensive ability was obviously insufficient and he could only attack at the basket. The Huaxia team's already very crowded offensive space immediately became more crowded. .

Then Hu Weidong, the only outside player on the Chinese team who could barely match the strength of the American team, and Zhang Jinsong, the most mature and life-threatening defender, both received their fourth fouls early because of excessive movements!

The Chinese team's perimeter, which was already weak and difficult to compete with the American team, immediately became even more stretched!

Although Jiang Xingquan immediately took down Sun Jun and Zheng Wu, in terms of individual scoring or CBA team leadership ability, they are definitely much better than Zhang Jinsong, but against a team like the United States team At that time, whether it was speed, lateral movement, or strength, they were all far behind Zhang Jinsong!

After the two of them come on the field, it means that Lin Tian is under greater pressure, and he has to take care of more things on the defensive end!

And even Lin Tian is actually in trouble right now!

He is so tired!

In every round, he has to attack with 2-3 people. In every round, he has to run all over the court to help his teammates to defend and participate in defense at any time. Although Lin Tian has already got 2 steals, 2 blocks and 4 rebounds in this quarter, His consumption is really too great!

Even with the double blessing of the 'Czech Iron Man' and physical strength runes, he really felt like his lungs were going to explode at this moment!

Extremely tired!

The result of exhaustion was that Lin Tian made two consecutive mistakes!

One time, when facing a double-team between Payton and Kidd, he jumped to pass the ball, but Payton predicted it and successfully stole the ball.

Another time, the lob to Dayao was obviously not strong enough. McDyess behind Dayao took out the ball and broke it off.

These two mistakes were all converted into fast break points for the US team!

Relying on these two counterattacks and the points they had accumulated before, with 3 minutes and 10 seconds left in the third quarter, they once again expanded their lead to 10 points with great difficulty!

At this time, Tomjanovich also showed the decisiveness that a famous coach should have!

He thinks it's time!

It's time to replace with players who are more impactful and capable of scoring!

Hardaway and Eddie Jones, who didn't play for a second in the first two and a half quarters tonight, were brought onto the court. Also present were Christie, Smith and Garnett!

Tomjanovich has adopted a highly mobile lineup with one large and four small players. He will use this lineup to overwhelm the Chinese team!

At the same time, Tomjanovich also knew that Hardaway would definitely become Lin Tian's breakthrough, so the striker combination he matched was not the offensive Raheem, Ray Allen or Houston, but the defensive Christie, Smith and Jones!

His meaning is obvious: I want to attack! I still want to defend!

He wants to use this lineup of four outside and one inside but not short at all to overwhelm the Chinese team!

This lineup showed its lethality in the first round. Hardaway, who was in full health, rushed to the basket. Not only did he hit a layup, but he also caused a foul on Dayao!

After the extra free throw, the US team's lead has once again reached 13 points!

"The Chinese team has entered a very difficult moment! Their physical strength is at a bottleneck, and the main players are also in foul trouble! They are a little overwhelmed." Su Qun said very worriedly: "At this time, someone needs to stand up come out!"

"Someone needs to stand up and share the burden for Lin Tian, ​​and give Lin Tian a chance to breathe! Otherwise, the advantage of the American team will continue to expand!"

Song Shixiong also said worriedly: "The situation of the game is now completely controlled by the US team! They definitely want to continue to expand their advantage before the end of the third quarter. The boys of the Chinese team must withstand it! They must hold on The most difficult 3 minutes!”

"3 minutes!" Jordan sat on the chair, his expression obviously relaxed at this moment: "The next 3 minutes will determine the outcome of this game!"

"20 points!" Bird followed closely: "If the US team opens the point difference to 3 points in the next three minutes, with the current physical strength of the Chinese team, the game will be decided!"

While the two were talking, the Chinese team's Dayao's one-on-one under the basket hit the iron again, and Hardaway held the ball and launched another counterattack!

The physical advantage of the new force was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. He hit the basket unimpeded and scored 2 points again!

As Tomjanovich's surprise player, Hardaway scored 5 consecutive points after coming on the stage!

This substitution is really exciting!

Then when Lin Tian held the ball again, Hardaway was very self-aware and ran far away, fearing that Lin Tian would have a chance to beat him alone, while Christie and Jones, the two top forward defenders, opened their arms and fought hard. Standing in front of Lin Tian!

In this round, Lin Tian chose to break through and kill the basket. Although neither the two defenders nor Garnett, who came to help defend, could steal or block Lin Tian's layup, Lin Tian was blocked by Lin Tian on this shot. The interference was a little too serious, and his layup bounced out of the frame and failed to hit.

Smith grabbed the rebound and then threw it to Jones, who had already started running towards the frontcourt. Jones and Hardaway played the US team's signature two-line fast break on the left and right. Finally, it was Jones, who went all the way to the basket. , completed a two-handed smash!

17 points!

Then, the Chinese team made another mistake!

This time, the American team took advantage of the lack of physical strength of the Chinese team and once again launched a full-court double-team. Lin Tian jumped up and passed the ball to Zheng Wu, but Zheng Wu had no time to move with the ball and was fiercely beaten by Jones. It was snatched away from my hand with great force!

Then Jones found Smith, and Smith took the ball and shot from outside the 3-point line!

"Shh!"
