Yao Ming opened the curtain of the Chinese team's offense with a sky-gate goal. Within the next three minutes, the Chinese team played in a hurry, while the Spanish team was running hard, making it impossible to see that the two were evenly matched.

Stephen still positioned himself as the team's controller. He connected his teammates' offenses to respond, cover them, and create opportunities for offense. The occasional move is just to increase his threat so that Spain can strengthen his defense against him.

Unfortunately, Spain does not have any suitable candidates on the forward line to defend Stephen, which makes people have to talk about the personnel composition of the Spanish team.

Although they have many players who are very capable on the outside, they are basically short players. Their teammates Navarro are 1.91 meters tall, Jose Calderon is 1.92 meters tall, Raul Lopez is 1.82 meters tall, and Ricci Rubio is 1.91 meters tall.

The most powerful person on the front line should be Rudy Fernandez, but he is only 1.98 meters tall and weighs only 84 kilograms. He is thin, which is also the main reason why he is not able to adapt to the league in confrontation and cannot adapt to the league.

There is also Bernie Rodriguez (non-Sergio Rodriguez), who is 1.97 meters tall and weighs 97 kilograms, but he is a standard offensive player, and defense is not his strength.

So the Spanish coach Eto Garcia Renises sent Yoggabayosa to defend Stephen. He is a standard big player, with a height of 2.07 meters and a weight of 111 kilograms. Although he can compete with Stephen in terms of strength, his speed and flexibility are much worse.

But there is no way. Spain has no suitable person to defend Yao Ming, so they can only let Yoggabayosa appear. The reason why Etorenises used Gabayosa was to limit Stephen's strong attack at the basket and reduce the burden on Paul Gasol and Marc Gasol, so that their brothers can do their best to deal with Yao Ming.

As for Yi Jianlian, who also plays in the league, Etorenises does not see it. Neither Marc Gasol nor Paul Gasol, they need not put all their efforts on Yi Jianlian. The only ones who can pose a threat to the Spanish team are Stephen and Yao Ming.

For Stephen, he had no good way, so he had to attack and attack, but against Yao Ming, he had the Gasol brothers to deal with him. In order to give them an advantage in the inside, he even prepared to sacrifice the outside and let Stephen go in the outside, as long as he didn't enter the inside.

Some people may think that he is too arrogant to Yao Ming, but sometimes he can only do this. He has no player who can defend Stephen, so he can only let Stephen and the outside play their own, while the advantage in the inside is what he wants. If one person doesn't work, then two people, as long as they can ensure the advantage on one side and the other side is tied, they will naturally win.

Gabayosa is the standard height and weight of an inside player, but because the Spanish national team has two brothers Gasol in the interior, he spends a lot of time in the small forward position, which can also give him a advantage in most matches.

Gabayosa lacks physical talent, but has a very positive attitude. She tried her best to follow Stephen and did not give Stephen a slight chance. However, Stephen did not mean to attack, but gave the opportunity more to his teammates.

This is the same as the previous game against the US team. It seems that the Chinese team seems to be very powerful, and the Spanish team has no power to fight back, but in fact it is not like this. Although the Spanish team has been on the defensive, it is not panic.

Because they had expected this situation early in the morning, they also knew that this was the home court of the Chinese team. In addition, although the Chinese team failed in the last game, they still had a glory even though they lost. The Chinese team would definitely have a strong momentum, so they adopted a strategy of catching their edge.

Sure enough, the Chinese team's offense was very fierce and terrifying. Starting from Yao Ming's first goal, Paul Gasol missed a mid-range shot. When he came back, Liu Wei shot a three-pointer in front of Jose Calderon. Liu Wei shot very imposingly and faced defense Yu Wuwu. He is worthy of being the first point guard of the national team.

Fernandez's breakthrough was very elegant, which made Wang Shipeng, who was defending him, very difficult to catch. He easily broke through his defense, but in front of Fernandez, another Stephen stood in front of him.

The two have also fought in the league, but Fernandez is a substitute for the Portland Trail Blazers and has few opportunities to face it, so he has never tried Stephen's defense. Only then did he feel the difference.

He originally wanted to have a single-on-one scheming with Stephen, but it didn't seem that easy. As a flexible scoring player, he changed direction in front of a powerful player like Stephen and never got rid of it. In desperation, he had to pass the ball to Gabayosa.

Facing Wang Shipeng's defense, Gabayosa easily made a stand-alone shot. She didn't even jump and threw the ball into the basket like a bomb. I don't know if it was learned from the boss Juannavaro.

After returning, Yao Ming received Stephen's pass again, turned two and a half consecutive times, and turned behind Marc Gasol. The iconic jump shot with a slightly backward hit the basket again, and Marc Gasol looked at it without any help.

Spain's offense also started from the inside line. Paul Gasol played Yi Jianlian single with his back. Although his strength was not enough to fight against Yao Ming, there was no problem with a strong fight with Yi Jianlian.

Seeing Yi Jianlian retreating repeatedly, Yao Ming had to go over to help. Who knew that Paul Gasol suddenly passed the ball to his younger brother Marc Gasol at a small angle. Yao Ming hurriedly turned around and went to defend Marc Gasol. At this time, Marc Gasol passed the ball back to Paul Gasol.

Marc Gasol's body is stronger than his brother Paul Gasol, but he looks very thin like Yao Ming. Compared to them, Yao Ming is like a clumsy giant, allowing them to tease him.

After receiving his younger brother's pass, Paul Gasol directly scored a layup on Yijianlian. Raising high is Paul Gasol's strength. With his height and wingspan, few people can interfere with him.

After coming back, Stephen and Liu Wei made a cross cover, and then suddenly passed the ball to Yi Jianlian who ran outside. Neither Gasol followed him out, and Gabayosa hurriedly ran over. Yi Jianlian did not take action with him, but passed the ball back to Stephen.

Because Stephen's threat was even greater, Fernandez had come to fill Gabayosa's defensive position and vacate Wang Shipeng. There was no way. Wang Shipeng also quietly took the opportunity to move towards the bottom corner. Although Paul Gasol had already found that he was about to make up for it, it was too late.

Stephen's pass was fast and fast, and the ball flew straight and came to Wang Shipeng's hands in an instant. This was also because Stephen was sure that Wang Shipeng could catch it and dared to pass it like this. In terms of shooting at the catch, Wang Shipeng was the best performer.

After receiving the ball, Wang Shipeng did not make any adjustments at all. He raised his hand and threw the ball towards the basket. Paul Gasol jumped helplessly and waved his hand. He couldn't touch the ball at all. The ball flew into the basket in a flash. Stephen raised his thumbs up at Wang Shipeng.

Zhu Fangyu, who was placed on the bench in this game, stood up and applauded Wang Shipeng, without any resentment at all. Others were applauding his three-pointer. The harmony of the atmosphere of this Chinese team was rare in the past, and it was also a guarantee of unity.

Both teams did not score in two rounds. At this time, the Chinese team broke the deadlock. Stephen and Yao Ming made a pick-and-roll, then rushed to the basket, drilled behind Marc Gasol to score a layup, and then completed a steal from Fernandez, assisting Yi Jianlian to score a dunk.

At most, the Chinese team led the Spanish team by as many as seven points, but then the Spanish team launched a counterattack, especially their inside line combination, with Paul Gasol and Marc Gasol both passing and supporting the ball, attacking inside and outside, and quickly tied the score back.

But then Stephen scored five points in a row and assisted Yao Ming to score once, while Spain only made a three-pointer with Fernandez. Yao Ming's strong attack caused a foul of Marc Gasol. After making both free throws, the score expanded to eight points.

The Spanish team continued to counterattack, and the Chinese team brought it back. The scores of both sides were like the two ends of the scale, one after another, one after another, but the Chinese team has always maintained a leading situation, and the Spanish team has been chasing hard.

At this time, Etorenises replaced Fernandez and replaced Juannavaro. Juannavaro made a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, and then completed a steal from Liu Wei's hand. After returning, he scored two points with a small throw.

Stephen regained his three-pointer, but Gabayosa also made a three-pointer. Stephen and Wang Shipeng's shooting both missed the basket. Although Yao Ming grabbed rebounds twice, his own shooting also missed. After coming back, Navarro assisted Calderon to make a three-pointer, and Spain tied the score.

Liu Wei and Stephen were covering up with Gabayosa, then lay on the floor and gritted their teeth and hugged their thighs. They held back their screams. The expression on their faces grinned, which was a bit scary. The referee hurriedly stopped the game and let the Chinese team doctor play.

The team doctor and staff helped Liu Wei down. When he saw that he was out of the field, he could already take some effort on his feet, proving that the problem was not too serious. The game started again, and Stephen rushed forward and knocked Gabayosa to the ground, and at the same time shot the ball to the basket.
