I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 97

　　 The second day after finishing Algeria, the Chinese team ushered in the third opponent in the group stage of the World Championships, the American Dream Team 5 led by Paul Pierce and Oscar.

Because the previous two teams have won two consecutive victories in Group C of the death group, and the two teams are one of the three most popular teams officially recommended by FIBA, this game is particularly interesting. .

　　Besides, before the start of this game, because the two teams have been hyped as the'destined enemies' of this World Championships, both the Chinese and American players are quite concerned about this.

　　 Especially for the US team.

　　 The media hype does not really matter to the Chinese team.

　　 It's good to be able to become the “destined enemy” with the US team. It's like the praise of the ancestral grave. When did the Chinese team play with the US team in history?

　　 For the US team, this is so embarrassing.

　　What is the Chinese team?

　　 can stand with us?

　　 We are the dream team that rules the world!

　　 I have to say that arrogant people have always been careful, let alone an arrogant team.

　　 You know, not long ago, in the warm-up match between the two teams, the US team just won the Chinese team by 30 points.

　　 It's only half a month, can this Chinese team be on an equal footing with them?

　　 Forget those international media that hype international teams.

　　What are you local fans of USA Today, come to join in the fun?

　　 also said alarmistly, watch out for the US team to capsize in the gutter of this World Championships.

　　On the small ditch of the World Championships, can we still open the aircraft carrier?

　　Don't look down on people!

　　 In short, in such an incredible atmosphere of public opinion, the American players have great opinions on the Chinese team.

　　Since there are big opinions, let's do it first.

　　 Let the world know that even if we are dubbed the US Team Three by you, it is not comparable to the Chinese team.

　　 This year, we only have one opponent, and that is Yugoslavia!

　　What the Chinese team, the German team, Argentina, Spain, is nothing!

　　 On August 31, 2002, the Pacers' home stadium, the Conseco Arena, tonight the stands around the Conseco Arena were finally full of spectators.

　　 In the previous two games of the US team, the US team in the homeland, they played against Algeria and Germany, the audience on the sidelines was not even full.

　　 Not only did it not fill up, the game against Algeria did not even have a tenth of the spectators.

　　 In the United States, there are not as many spectators in the U.S. against Algeria than in China. Do you dare to believe it?

　　 No kidding, Indianapolis fans who love basketball don't love this American team.

　　Dream Five has Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller.

　　 But Reggie Miller is just the captain and 'spiritual leader' of this team.

What does 　　 'spiritual leader' mean?

　　 means sitting on the bench to cheer for teammates.

　　Dream Five's stars are already dim, and with the use of Finley by head coach George Carr, the popularity of Dream Five in Indianapolis is evident.

　　 Of course, George Carl can't be blamed.

　　 Which head coach of the dream team does not want to realize his tactical ideals in the dream team?

　　 This dream team's weak chicken is compared with one, two, three, and four.

　　 Really more than the depth and thickness of the players, this dream team is definitely the strongest that George Carr has brought, and the most suitable team to realize his tactical ideals.

　　 So, what is the tactical ideal of George Carr?

　　 is of course fast and grab, the whole team is as aggressive as a beast! 【Note 1】

　　 In order to implement his basketball philosophy, as the head coach of the Bucks, he even looks down on Ray Allen.

In the 2001 playoffs between the Bucks and the 76ers, Ray Allen averaged 28.3 points, 48.8 shooting percentage, and 54.9 three-point shooting. George Karl was still dissatisfied with such an excellent performance. He felt that Ray Allen was still too elegant, too. Focusing on his own style of play, not wild enough, his efficiency is much higher than the opponent Ray Allen, but he is not as fierce as Iverson.

　　Lei Allen's physical fitness is also first-rate, and his style of play in the Bucks is still a bit fierce, but he still does not meet the requirements of George Karl Meng.

　　 From this, it can be seen that the style is similar to Ray Allen, but at an older age, it is strange that Reggie Miller, who cannot be ferocious, can gain the trust of George Carr.

　　 To be honest, if it weren't for the Indianapolis World Championships to be held in Indianapolis, Reggie Miller would definitely not be willing to be the'spiritual leader' for the Dream Five team. 【Note 2】

Reggie Miller is also an arrogant person. How could he be willing to sit on the bench and watch George Karl playing with his favorite generals in the rules of international basketball playing this kind of no-three-pointer and no-shooting beast? Type fast break.

　　 Of course, I was complaining about it. George Carr has a very high status in the NBA. Since he is here, he can only sit on the bench.

　　Moreover, the US team that has won a winning streak is not in crisis.

　　 Even now George Carr feels that this set of himself is very powerful in the international arena.

　　 beat Algeria by 110 points and won by 50 points.

　　 In the German team, the first three quarters were behind, but the last quarter didn't ran to Germany and exhausted the driver?

　　 This is exactly his tactical brilliance!

　　 What kind of monsters are you USA Today, the Indianapolis Star, and dare to question my style of play and tactical system?

　　 In short, he is only half bald now. George Carr, who is not completely bald, is chewing gum on the sidelines, his expression on his face is very confident.

　　 This game between China and the United States is definitely one of the most watched games in this World Championship.

　　 The three hottest direct confrontations for the first time.

　　 At the same time, this year's draft picks and seventh picks played against all NBA opponents for the first time in a formal game.

crucial.

　　 Even Heat Chairman Pat Riley and Nets General Manager Rod Thorne sat on the sidelines.

　　 If the two previous opponents of the Chinese team are not convincing for Yao Ming and Chen Xiao to see if the NBA will meet, then this game is very convincing.

　　 After all, they are all NBA players.

　　 Therefore, when they warmed up before the game, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming were surprised to see all the big guys of their team gathered nearby.

　　 Of course, apart from these people who came to the scene, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the game before the TV.

　　 Ginobili, Scola, Nowitzki, Peja... and of course Wang Zhizhi.

　　 "Is it possible for the Chinese team to beat the American team?"

　　 Ginobili nodded and shook his head: "I don't know, it's possible."

　　 I have to say, this time Ginobili really wanted to face the American team right away. He liked George Carr's muscular club lovers so much.

　　 "I want to enjoy this meal early!"

　　 Of course, the US team and George Carr didn't know about it.

　　 Now that he has led the team to win two consecutive victories, he does not know that this World Championships with him and his US team have become a feast for many people.

　　 "Teacher Chen, look, we have no problem standing here, right?"

　　 "No problem, great!"

　　 Before the start of the game, after Chen Xiao stepped on the spot, the three teenagers of the "Sun Shooting Team" stood on the sideline and the bottom line like humanoid marks.

　　 Three young generals, two positions, three of them rotate.

　　 "It seems that the number of the sun shooting team is still not enough, at least two shifts are suitable!"

In other words, the game is about to begin, and the nine starters of the two teams have already arrived on the court, and Chen Xiao is still muttering with the three national team teenagers, and the delay in coming up makes the American players on one side face. It was all smiles, and the American fans on the sidelines were all curious.

　　 Although Chen Xiao has left the NCAA, things like "Wonder Boy" and "Zhen Beast" are still very popular in the United States.

　　 "I don't know what interesting tricks Wonder Boy will play in this game tonight!"

　　The fans on the sidelines are looking forward to it, while Jay Williams, who sits on the bench of the US team, is a little disdainful.

　　 "This grandstanding guy!"

　　 Chen Xiao's strength is recognized by him. Although not as strong as him, it is really good.

　　 But Jie Williams dislikes Chen Xiao very much.

　　 even hates Chen Xiao more than Wade.

　　 Chen Xiao is so capable!

　　Jay Williams has always been very emotional about his loss in this year's NCAA finals.

　　 Because he himself thinks what Pat Riley said before is right.

　　 'The best player lost the game', he was cheated by his teammates at Duke University. He was okay. The teammate was first defeated by Chen Xiao, so how to fight?

　　 "I think you will show me the players from the US team now!"

　　 "This game, I want revenge!"

　　 Jay Williams is looking forward to the moment when he comes off the bench.

　　 As the two Dream Five players who have not played in the NBA and only played in the NCAA in this game, Jie Williams and Nick Collison are both sitting on the bench.

　　 In fact, next to Jie Williams, the bench for the US team is quite luxurious.

　　 Reggie Miller, Ben Wallace, O'Neal, Marion, all sitting on the bench.

　　 The starting players for the US team in this game are point guards, No. 5 Byron Davis, No. 4 Michael Finley, No. 9 Paul Pierce, No. 14 Elton Brand and No. 8 Antonio Davis.

　　 Why are O'Neal and Ben Wallace sitting on the bench?

　　Because Captain Brand and Antonio Davis are better at running, jumping, and grabbing better than these two people in George Carr's opinion! The starter needs to be able to grab, the starter will collapse the opponent, and the rest will rush forward.

　　 On the Chinese team, the starting lineup is led by Yao Ming and Bago, Chen Xiao plays the small forward, Guo Shiqiang and Hu Weidong partner the guard.

　　 After the starting players of the two teams were placed on the court, the US team's players as a whole seemed to be a circle smaller than the Chinese team.

　　 No kidding, Yao Minggao, Bago Zhuang, Bago is a certain EA basketball game and O'Neill tied together, the only two with 99 strong people, you think it is a joke.

　　 Captain Brand is like a small forward in front of Pug.

　　 And Antonio Davis is equally short in front of Yao Ming. They are 20 centimeters apart.

　　 Chen Xiao and Guo Shiqiang seem to be 1 to 2 centimeters taller than their opponents Pierce and Byron Davis.

　　 Chen Xiao is 2 meters tall naked and 2 meters 03 in shoes, which is taller than Pierce.

　　 The entire American team is probably higher than the Chinese team. Finley is probably two or three centimeters higher than Hu Weidong.

　　 Seeing this height, many spectators on the sidelines were speechless.

　　 However, the American players are short and short, but they can really jump.

　　 The American team jump ball, Antonio Davis is 20 cm shorter than Yao Ming, but the jump ball, Antonio Davis won.

　　 Fortunately, the Chinese team is really not slow to retreat, especially center Yao Ming. After Yao Ming failed to jump the ball, he can return to his defensive position.

　　 The US team first attacked, and wanted to play a fast break, but in the end he just made a position.

　　 The defensive retreat of the Chinese team is not so slow.

　　 The fast break of the US team is not so fast.

　　 The position allows Brand and Antonio Davis to fight Yao Ming and the bus, which is a bit like a fantasy.

　　 So when Byron Davis hit Finley in the end, Finley could only play singles against Hu Weidong.

　　 "Beware of Finley's left hand breakthrough!"

　　 This is a text message from before the game.

　　 Hu Weidong remembered deeply!

　　The killer's left hand breakthrough was prejudged by Hu Weidong in advance. There was no alternative, Finley could only throw a three-pointer against Hu Weidong from outside the three-point line.

　　 Strike the iron!

Facing Brand, who was rushing to grab the offensive rebound, Battelle leaned against his body. No matter how long Brand's arm was, he was leaned firmly behind him. After taking off the rebound with one hand, Battelle hit the ball directly to his ready to go. Guo Shiqiang who attacked.

　　 Guo Shiqiang faced the American team's chase and interception, and escaped the blocking of Byron Davis, and actually completed a one-stop layup.

　　 2 to 0!

　　 He didn't get a quick break, but was stolen by the Chinese team.

　　 Seeing many U.S. Basketball Association officials on the sidelines was stunned.

The reporter next to 　　 USA TODAY also kept shaking his head.

　　 "If there were no tactical requirements for George Carr to attack fast, Finley's attack just now would definitely not be so unwise and hasty!"

　　 "If Brand and Davis don't implement George Carr's tactics of rushing to grab the offensive rebounds, the Chinese team will definitely not be able to play a fast break so easily!"

　　It is true to say that, but in George Carr's opinion, it doesn't matter if Finley hastily, anyway, the US team can grab it.

　　 It's just that, I didn't expect Battelle to be so powerful!

　　 On the field, after Guo Shiqiang made a quick break, Chen Xiao immediately ran to Guo Shiqiang's side and pulled him from the ground.

　　 "Running too fast, my old arms and legs are a bit unsteady, haha."

　　 "Brother Qiang is not old!"

　　 However, Guo Shiqiang's physical fitness is really average.

　　 And let Guo Shiqiang, who has such a general physical fitness, play a fast break, it shows how big the problem is with the US team's defense.

　　 The looting is too fierce.

　　 "Teacher Xiao Chen, originally I didn't plan to break fast, but there is no one behind the US team, so I won't be able to break fast."

　　 What this said is that Byron Davis next to him can't speak Chinese.

　　 Even if Byron Davis and the American players do not speak Chinese, they are very ugly when they have been hit by a fast break at the moment.

　　 Guo Shiqiang knows how slow he is in this fast break, how can the American players know?

　　 It's too embarrassing to be scored by such a "snail" fast break!

　　 This made the US players very angry.

　　 "Find the place back!"

　　 On the court, the US team attacked again, this time the US team was going to play a little slower.

　　Byron Davis hit the ball first to Antonio Davis, who came out to catch it, and wanted to pull Yao Ming out by the way.

　　 Pull Yao Ming out and the US team will be ready to play.

　　 But Davis came out, Yao Ming was still nailed in the three-second zone.

　　 The entire American perimeter players who are preparing to break through looked at Yao Ming and Battelle inside, and their scalps were a little numb.

　　 Yao Ming and Pug are left and right, one tall and one strong nailed there. That really makes Pierce, Finley, and Barron Davis desperate.

　　 It's not Yao Ming and Battelle, it's Yao Ming and O'Neal standing there!

　　 On the defensive end, it's okay to say that Pago is a 'speed bankrupt O'Neal'.

　　 Yao Ming + 'O'Neal' is already desperate.

　　 What's even more desperate is that the offense is so difficult, they still need to be forced to play fast by the coach on the sidelines to bring the rhythm!

　　 Pierce can't do anything about it. It's definitely not possible to make a breakthrough. You don't want to make a strong shot before you score.

　　 The iconic three threats swayed for a long time. The rookie in front seemed to have no physical instinct, just not jumping!

　　Who is the dog who jumps!

　　 Seeing this familiar scene, Da Juan Wagner in front of the TV almost laughed.

　　 "This beginner really has no such instincts!"

　　 He suffered a big loss!

　　 This guy is simply the terminator of three threats!

　　 Of course, Pierce is definitely not Wagner's comparable. If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Pierce can attack if you can't afford a person, which is different from Wagner.

　　 Soon, Pierce turned around and leaned on Chen Xiao's body. After sitting and pushing two steps inside, he turned around and took a step back to shoot the jumper!

　　 Chen Xiao is so famous in the United States.

　　 Pierce also knew about it.

　　 The stats in the draft were 1.98 meters and 2.10 meters. Now it seems to be one or two centimeters longer, which is taller than him.

　　 But the wingspan should still be around 2 meters 10.

　　 Wingspan is not rubber, not so easy to stretch.

　　He knows this best.

　　 Pierce's height is 2.01 meters and his wingspan is 2.07 meters.

　　 is a bit short.

　　 People who like to lean back, not necessarily those with short hands.

　　 But most of the short hands definitely like to lean back.

　　 who likes to lean back and retreat must have short hands!

　　 Pierce is.

　　 Pierce's series of movements are beautiful, but when he was ready to shoot, he saw the arm that was close to him. To be honest, Pierce was a little confused.

　　 "This Nima's is a 2m10 wingspan?!"

　　 "Are you bullying me as a short-handed idiot?!"

　　 From Pierce's point of view, Chen Xiao's defense this time really has no technical content.

　　 Whether it is the angle of the cover or the timing, it is very amateurish, but the big hand that reaches out in front of you is really real!

　　 Pierce was shocked, he never expected that he would underestimate the enemy!

　　 Knowing that his hands are so long, I have to spin a few more times!

　　 Knowing that it is too late, Chen Xiao's palm is already in front of her eyes, and she has to vote if she doesn't.

　　 Clang!

　　 Yao Ming jumped high and defended the backboard against the inside rush of two "mad dogs" of the US team.

　　 Defending the US team's attack, Chen Xiao was very happy on the court.

　　 His NBA entry-level single defense, backed by Dayao and Bago, is still very useful!

　　 "Are all American players so talented?"

　　 "Rush to grab Yao Ming and Battelle's offensive rebounds?"

　　 At the scene, many professionals like Pat Riley and Rod Thorne were stunned.

　　 There is no defense for three seconds in the international game. The defensive player can stand in it all the time. As long as the defensive player is tall and strong, who can grab it?

　　 "No, I think the genius is the head coach of the US team!"

　　 Playing in international competitions?

　　 This is going crazy!

　　 On the court, looking back, Yao Ming received a pass from Hu Weidong at the right waist, turned his back to Antonio Davis one-on-one, and then turned Antonio Davis back to mid-range jumper like air.

　　 is very similar to Pierce's action just now.

　　 But in front of Yao Ming, there are no obstacles.

　　 Brush!

　　 Two points!

　　 4 to 0!

　　 The United States played China at home and opened 4-0!

　　 For a while, the entire Consecco Arena was silent.

　　 At this time, many reporters on the sidelines have already smelled something strange.

　　 "This game, something big will happen!"

　　Excited, excited, or excited!

　　Note 1: When Billups first came to the Nuggets, he 'joked' and said: "You guys are playing too fast, and my old guy can't keep up with you."

Note 2: The performance of the Dream Five team is so bad. The player factor is actually second. No matter how bad the players are, it is also the strongest team in the entire World Championships. If you give the Dream Five team to a good chef, you can still make good dishes. , But George Carr is precisely the chef who is the least suitable for international basketball rules, and that is terrible. In 2002, when the Dream Five team collapsed, George Carr was the main responsibility.

Take this game between the United States and China as an example. The game was so anxious and the American men's basketball team shot so poorly. But Miller played for 1 minute, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 fouls and 0 shots. Garbage time went up and waved...

　　 The most characteristic of this American team was the match between the American team and Spain. The United States had a big lead, but in the last five minutes, the American team could only score 2 points on free throws. This is the American team. Can you believe it?

　　 It is said that the failure of this session is due to the coach's insistence and the prevalence of player individualism. The coach's insistence is still above the prevalence of player individualism.

ps: In history, before Yao Ming fouled the game between China and the United States, half of the third quarter of the game was played. The Chinese team still took the lead 55 to 54~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yao Ming once again fell into a foul. Crisis, the audience 10 points and 6 rebounds, Battelle fights Big Ben, Oscar, Captain Brand scored 19 points and 7 rebounds, China Jordan Hu Weidong scored 11 points in the first half, teenager Zhu Fangyu withstood the US counterattack in the second half The horn of the United States scored 14 points, and Xiaoyao Wang Gong Xiaobin, who is at the end of his career, has the ability to cope with ecstasy, and the horns of the free throw line do not look at the pass behind the head and numb the scalp of the American team show. Refined.

In general, this year's Chinese team is really the strongest year in the Chinese team's history. Legendary veterans Hu Weidong and Gong Xiaobin will be old but not old. The players in their years are roughly at the peak of the bus and the younger generation of players. Yao Ming and Zhu Fangyu have already formed combat effectiveness. It can be said that the Chinese team in 2002 has everything that should be, no lack of defenders, no shortage of passers, no shortage of big men, no shortage of shots, no shortage of outside lines, everything. Yes, it should have been a time for major breakthroughs.

　　 It's a pity, because of many things, this year's World Championships, the Chinese team only won 12, can only be said to be good luck.

　　 Since 2002, the Chinese team has never been so strong. Although Yao Ming is getting stronger and stronger, the Chinese team has become more and more lacking.

　　 I have to say, this is a huge regret.

　　 The book "The Fisherman" was chosen to start in 2002, and there is also an idea to make up for this regret.

　　 The Chinese team this year should not become the worst Chinese team in the history of the Chinese team. World Championship 12th, Asian Games runner-up, they should not be like this.

　　 The natural disaster is forgotten, it is inevitable.

　　 Man-made disasters are too uncomfortable.

　　Ps: Ask for monthly pass, ask for recommendation, ask for collection! ! !
