I am so Accurate

Chapter 488: Hold down and get a good beating!

After the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 28.

The Chinese team once opened the point difference to double digits in the middle of the quarter, but due to the difference in strength of the substitutes, the point difference was recovered again.

Well, most fans feel the same way when they see it, including Ginobili.

This is also a problem that most of the world's top teams will encounter against the American team.

They can be tough for 30 minutes, but the American team can be tough for 40 minutes.

During the break, after Harris laid out his tactics, he sat on the sidelines thoughtfully.

He always felt that tonight's game was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell where it was.

Fortunately, he was not alone, because on the other side of the bench, Sun Hao was also thinking deeply with his chin in his hands.

When leading by 10 points, he once thought that the American team had gone to the other extreme: after losing to Greece, the team's morale was gone and their mentality collapsed.

But the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and after sitting in the audience and watching for so long, he finally understood what Old K was doing.

This is playing at the vitality of the Chinese team.

What is the destiny of the Chinese team?

Yao Ming!

With Yao Ming on the court, the Chinese team is a great player inside, and Sun Hao can easily score from outside;

Without Yao Ming on the court, the Chinese team is at a disadvantage inside, and the US team can double-team Sun Hao;

Yao Ming is no less important to the Chinese team than Sun Hao.

Or in other words, the Chinese team's strength has improved greatly, but it still cannot be the same with or without Yao Ming.

Therefore, Lao K's approach was very targeted. The opening scene was to consume Yao Ming's physical energy!

His tactics were also successful, and Yao Ming left the game two minutes earlier than normal.

Don't underestimate these two minutes. It was these extra two minutes that allowed the American team to tie the score at the end of this quarter.

In this way, the opening period of the second quarter was when they turned around and opened up the score.

Old K is indeed well prepared.

And he also guessed that he had lost to the Chinese team in the previous Olympic Games and World Championships. He went back and did a lot of homework and found the most deadly fate of the Chinese team.

Thinking of this, Sun Hao turned around and motioned for Yao Ming to lower his head, and so and so...

In the substitute transition period of the second quarter, although Harris asked Yi Jianlian to lead the team on the court, the Chinese team was still pulled away by the US team little by little.

The depth of the Dream Team's substitutes is quite good.

"This old fox, it seems that there is no chance of meeting the Chinese team in the quarter-finals."

In the stands, Ginobili couldn't help but sigh.

He was also belatedly aware of Old K's style of play tonight.

This is as good as Popovich's, and even more confusing.

The Chinese team has fallen into a trap now.

Although the game lasts 40 minutes, when strong teams compete, this pitfall is like a snowball. The further you go, the bigger the snowball becomes.

The Chinese team was unable to climb out.

The second quarter lasted about four minutes, and both sides started to replace the main players one after another.

Except for Yi Jianlian, the other main players of the Chinese team are back.

On the American team's side, all the main players came up.

The score on the field was 40 to 34, and the American team had led by 6 points.

Up comes the Chinese team's offensive round.

Sun Hao still lobbed the ball inside to Yao Ming.

Howard still engages in various physical confrontations.

This is also Lao K's arrangement.

It doesn't matter if you can't guard it, but it will never let you score easily.

Yao Ming chose to go hard.

Old K looked happy when he saw this.

If Yao Ming plays like this, he will definitely have physical problems in the second half!

It seems that Harris still doesn't realize what he is doing!

If tonight's game is regarded as a game of chess, he not only took the lead, but also led Harris by the nose all the way!

He is already sure of victory in this chess game!

Yao Ming turned his back continuously under the basket, turned around and then wiped the board and scored!

Of course, Howard's confrontation and interference also consumed a lot of his physical energy.

This scene doesn't look much different from the first half.

But immediately, a touching scene happened on the field.

"Dwight, don't you even have the courage to block me anymore?"

After Yao Ming scored, he looked down at Howard with a look of disappointment on his face.

Howard was stunned at the time.

Then, the next second he blushed.

Yao Ming's disappointed expression was like stripping off his clothes and humiliating him.

You couldn't beat me before, you just couldn't beat me, but now you...

I don’t even have the courage to challenge me anymore!

Howard is a very impulsive player. At this time, a rush of blood rushed to his forehead, and he had already forgotten everything about what Old K had told him.

James' layup to the basket was not interfered by Yao Ming.

Howard struggled to grab the offensive rebound and used brute force to hit Yao Ming's shot.

"Snapped!"

An offensive method with no technical content at all would be impossible to score in front of Yao Ming.

Howard's shot was directly blocked by Yao Ming!

After blocking the shot, Yao Ming looked at Howard, showing disappointment again, and then shook his head.

Howard: @¥% # %¥ # ‘……

A man can be defeated, but he must not be a coward!

He can't control that much anymore!

The Chinese team attacked the frontcourt and Yao Ming fell to the free throw line.

Sun Hao then lobbed the ball in.

This time Howard did not blindly fight with his body like before, but waited for an opportunity to block Yao Ming.

Yao Ming felt the defensive change behind him and suddenly turned around and walked towards the basket.

The advantage brought to him by not gaining weight is that he is as flexible as a power forward!

Yao Ming was so fast that Howard struggled to catch up and jumped to block the shot at the right moment.

But Yao Ming made a sideways layup in the air and successfully avoided Howard's block.

"Snapped!"

Howard's hand hit Yao Ming's hand.

The ball didn't go in, but the referee's whistle sounded.

Howard's defensive foul sent Yao Ming to the free throw line!

Howard was a little annoyed.

"Don't try to block shots! Just give it a fight, fight it!"

At this time, Old K got up and walked to the sidelines, shouting a reminder to Howard.

Howard looked back at Old K and nodded.

But it was obvious from his eyes that he didn't listen to what Old K said.

Yao Ming stepped to the free throw line and made two solid free throws.

40 to 38.

With Yao Ming's consecutive scoring, the Chinese team has narrowed the point difference to 2 points.

Wade continued to charge Yao Ming, and this time he scored with a beautiful drift.

42 to 38.

Looking back, Yao Ming continued to hit Howard, and Howard made another block attempt.

As a result, this time not only was he called for another foul, but Yao Ming also scored the ball!

2+1!

"tomato!"

Old K heard Yao Ming's familiar trash talk from the sidelines, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He took a deep breath, stood up and motioned for Brand to come on and replace Howard.

Howard has lost his mind during this period.

And what's even worse than that is that Howard's personal number of fouls has reached 3!

Fiba games are not like the NBA where there are 6 foul opportunities. If you commit 5 fouls, you will be off the field!

In other words, Howard's playing time will be greatly restricted!

Old K felt his old heart throb again.

Yao Ming, it’s life-threatening!

Howard's end was decisive for the situation on the court.

Although Howard is at a disadvantage against Yao Ming, he can at least face him head-on.

Especially where his physical fitness is, if he constantly confronts Yao Ming, Yao Ming's physical fitness will decline drastically.

But when he finished, Yao Ming instantly felt more relaxed.

What? Brand is also an All-Star insider?

Yes, he is an All-Star inside, but he is not a center!

He is a power forward, and a power forward who is only 2.06 meters tall!

Well, shorter than Yi Jianlian.

You have to ask if there are other insiders on the US team, of course there are.

Brad I love three pointers but what the defense is Miller.

Chris: Actually, I'm really a power forward. Don't let me play Yao Ming Bosh.

Antoine Don't Look at Me I'm Swingman Jamison.

Old K, there is no better choice!

Yao Ming also imposed additional penalties.

42 to 41!

The point difference is only 1 point!

James challenged Yao Ming in the paint and then stopped the ball and got called for a walk.

Looking back, if Yao Ming falls down again, the US team can only double-team!

The height difference makes it impossible for Brand to guard Yao Ming one-on-one.

In this double-team, Yao Ming passed the ball back to the outside, and the ball fell into the hands of Sun Hao several times.

Sun Hao threw it away.

"Uh-huh!"

Just throw it away!

42 to 44!

The Chinese team took the lead again!

"Ahem..."

In the stands, Ginobili couldn't help but cough.

He said earlier that the American team had no chance, but the American team tied the score immediately.

He said just now that the Chinese team could not climb out of the pit, but now it climbed out!

His mouth...

The light is definitely on today.

He touched his short hair.

It seems that in the following games, he is still suitable to be a quiet and handsome man.

However, the performance of the Chinese team in this period surprised and shocked him.

Being able to climb out of such a pit on your own is enough to show the strength of the Chinese team.

That kind of power is not just on paper.

Having won against Italy earlier, he was full of confidence when he knew he had a chance to play against the Chinese team.

But now, the exclamation mark has turned into a question mark...

Can Argentina beat such a Chinese team?

How can Argentina beat such a Chinese team?

The game on the field continues.

But at this time, the American team was already at a disadvantage because of Howard's fate.

Very simple logic: If the US team does not double-team Yao Ming, Yao Ming can destroy the US team's inside line;

But if the US team double-teams, sorry, Sun Hao and Zhu Fangyu from the outside can shoot you in the face!

This is what Sun Hao and Yao Ming said when they said "such and such".

In fact, this is also a very normal brain circuit: The Chinese team has a fatal fate, but the American team does not?

Of course there is, and like the Chinese team, they are also insiders!

Or to put it more bluntly, the Chinese team only has one Yao Ming, and the American team also only has one Howard!

Relying on this advantage, the Chinese team held down the American team and beat them both inside and outside.

At halftime, the score on the field was 58 to 48!

The Chinese team has widened the point difference again!

At halftime, the atmosphere in the US team's locker room was quite dull.

The pressure that was intense before the game reached its peak after halftime.

Some players are even beginning to worry about what will happen to them when they return home.

This is not alarmist. You must know that Iverson and Duncan are living examples.

If they don't make it to the semi-finals...

You can feel an atmosphere called "desperation" from the locker room.

The loss to the Greek team in the group stage really woke them up, which is why they resolutely implemented the old K tactics in the first quarter.

But after the second quarter, they still doubted themselves instinctively.

If they lose again, they may suffer from "Chinese Fear" in the future.

James got up at this time and walked to Howard.

He knew that as the leader of the team, he had to do something.

"Dwight, you know that in my heart, you are already the strongest center in the league."

The first words James spoke made Anthony's eyes widen.

LeBron...are you sure?

Howard didn't expect James to say that, but after hearing it... he felt very comfortable.

"Yao's advantage against you is his height and...hand. Your advantage is strength and jumping."

James went on to say that the "technique" he mentioned was finally replaced by touch.

Howard continued to nod after listening.

He felt that what James said was so right!

If you can speak, speak more!

"There is no three-second defense in Fiba games. You can always stay at the basket and use your body to squeeze him out of the three-second zone. This can bring out your advantage. I also know you can do it easily."

James continued.

Howard continued to nod, he felt that James knew him too well!

Why didn't he think of it before?

Anthony looked on blankly for a moment. What James said seemed to be...the same as what Old K explained?

For the first time, he felt up close that James was so capable of... deceiving.

Oh no, he is so eloquent.

He must be careful when communicating with James in the future.

"Don't care about the gain or loss of a ball. You know that as great as Michael and as strong as Sun Yat-sen, there are also times when they are defended by ordinary players, and there are also times when they cannot guard against ordinary players, so...

the same as you. "

After James finished speaking, Anthony couldn't help but nodded.

That makes sense!

But he immediately shook his head, he was so defensive!

Howard has been completely convinced by James.

Especially the sentence about you too, which compares him with Jordan and Sun Hao!

That feeling was more comfortable than being given a full-body spa treatment in a nightclub!

Seeing Howard's emotional change, James finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the importance of this game, he wouldn't have said this.

Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain.

If Howard starts to consume Yao Ming's energy again, the US team will still have a chance in the second half.

As long as we win tonight's game, everything will be happy.

Thinking of this, most of the pressure in James's heart was relieved.

Definitely, we can win!

Coming back from the second half, the spirit of the American team was completely different from that at halftime.

Confidence once again appeared on their faces.

In the stands, Ginobili was eating sushi boredly.

Usually the team strictly controls food, but he just happened to eat some secretly.

When he saw the American team coming out, he was surprised at first, and then put the sushi in his hand aside.

"Team America will still win!"

Ginobili couldn't help but sigh.
