762.Two major pitfalls for the American team

The current defense of the little emperor is to guard against pure impact players like Artest and Maggette who do not rely on skills.

Liu Xiu remembers that during the five or six years of his peak period between 25 and 30 years old, James was still very good defensively, but before he was bullied by Duncan in the finals, he was so weak that he never made the best defensive team; in the finals, he was bullied by Duncan again.

After the bullying, his defensive end plummeted and he was never selected to the All-Defensive Team again.

Therefore, this time James was teased, Liu Xiu felt that James' angry eyes should be given to Duncan, not to him.

It’s all Duncan’s fault for not consecrating the little emperor earlier!

The American team continued to attack. James received the serve and advanced aggressively. When he encountered Liu Xiu's defense in the frontcourt, he did not follow the tactics and wait for Wade to come up to pick and roll, but directly broke out!

Wade, who was lifting up from the right side, quickly backed away, and Bosh also quickly ran toward the top arc from the left side.

Liu Xiu rushed towards James immediately. Although he could not completely withstand James, he at least succeeded in limiting James' sprint speed, allowing Wang Shipeng on the baseline and Yao Ming on the basket to better assist in defense.

Surrounded by three people, James passed the ball to Howard who was pulled to the left side of the three-second zone.

Yao Ming retreated to the bottom of the basket, and Liu Xiu and Wang Shipeng began to defend James.

Liu Xiu and Wang Shipeng were not afraid of these two players cutting in. Howard could pass the ball to the players who cut in, so they recognized it.

Howard really didn't dare to pass the ball like this, so he feinted at the basket. Yao Ming, who was two meters away from him, couldn't move. Howard shook again and then looked at the referee.

Everyone looked at him in confusion. Howard suddenly thought that there was no defense for three seconds in this game!

At this moment, a force came from the ball in his hand, and the ball was suddenly knocked down!

Zhu Fangyu quietly approached Howard from the left sideline. While Howard was holding the ball and looking at the referee, he cut the ball off with one palm! And he grabbed the ball!

Howard quickly grabbed Zhu Fangyu. The referee's whistle sounded and Howard committed a foul!

The American team made mistakes in two consecutive rounds, and it was the Chinese team's attack again!

The Chinese team feels quite magical about this goal, but the American team is very helpless.

Coach K kept taking deep breaths. This was not the first time. In the group stage, Howard suddenly disconnected and forgot to defend for three seconds several times. Not only the situation just now, but also occasionally when defending.

Forget about not having to defend for three seconds.

Coach K told himself to calm down. This was just an unexpected situation. Both James and Howard were very easy to use players...

The game continued, Liu Xiu received the serve and advanced to the front court, then lobbed the ball to Yao Ming.

He has not turned on 'Kobe Time'. The effect of Kobe Time is also of the 'status improvement' type. Now he has the bonuses of 'good condition' and 'good shooting feel'. There is no need for it, and 'paranoia' will not be turned on for the time being.

The 'Kobe Time' trigger command for this debuff.

The old coach K's arrangement is to let Howard carry Yao Ming in the low post and consume Yao Ming. When Yao Ming turns to shoot, Howard has to stick up to interfere and consume. The goal is to consume.

However, Howard wanted to guard Yao Ming.

He was ready, and when Yao Ming turned around to dunk, he slapped Yao Ming's dunk down!

Since the end of the regular season, he has gained 20 pounds and weighs 122 kilograms. He wants to prove that these muscles are not in vain.

So... Howard, who had not completely lowered his center of gravity to fight, was hit by Yao Ming and seemed to be flying!

Although Yao Ming has not gained weight, his weight of 135 kilograms is enough to crush players other than O'Neal and Curry!

Yao Ming knocked Howard back deep into the basket, then turned around and smashed the ball into the basket!

Coach K: What is this high school center doing?

Coach K's confusion is not over yet, he is getting even more confused.

When the U.S. team attacked, Howard went to the low post to lean on Yao Ming to ask for the ball. He yelled at James who was holding the ball. James wanted to curse back, but held back and gritted his teeth and gave the ball to Howard.

Howard caught the ball and bumped back, hitting Yao Ming... He couldn't hit Yao Ming. After the collision, his feet landed on the ground and slid a step away from the basket...

Howard didn't care so much, he forced himself to hit the ball towards the basket through Yao Ming... "Pa"... the ball was slapped out of bounds by Yao Ming.

Team USA calls timeout!

Bosh didn't understand but didn't dare to ask. Anthony looked at the No. 1 pick from high school with his hands on his hips like he was looking at a fool. Wade's balls ached... what were these two high school students doing!

…

Coach K knows that these two high school students have many shortcomings, but putting their shortcomings aside, they still have many advantages.

Howard has extremely high defensive talent, outstanding physical fitness, and makes good use of his physical condition. He is willing to do dirty work when he is happy, and everyone is coaxing him, just like when he asked for the ball just now, James has figured out his character.

Even if you want to curse, you still have to grit your teeth and do it.

James is very good at beating opponents. Against opponents with weak interior defense, James can completely overwhelm the opponent's defense with a few breakthroughs.

The pick-and-roll pass and cut with Wade on the outside is also very easy to use when Wade sacrifices the ball to attack.

But at the beginning of tonight, Coach K didn't see the advantages of these two people. When James met Liu Xiu, Howard met Yao Ming, it was like being stunned!

With Yao Ming on the opposite side, James and Howard were not the main points of attack at all tonight. As a result, in the first few rounds, these two people tried to show off, but they were beaten continuously.

Coach K was very confused. Why didn't the two brothers make good use of their own strengths and had to compete with each other in areas where they were not good at?

Suddenly, he understood the reason - these two high school students saw that their opponents Liu Xiu and Yao Ming were flourishing in this year's World Championships, and they wanted to compete with each other.

It was pretty good, I figured it out in two or three rounds, and I already knew the result before I fell too far behind. It really didn’t delay things.

He couldn't afford to lose a game in the knockout rounds anymore, so he replaced Paul and Brad Miller, replacing the two No. 1 picks from high school.

The Chinese team has not made any personnel adjustments.

Liu Xiu, Yinhu and others were surprised that the game started like this, but they knew that it would not be possible to open the situation so easily.

Silver Fox did not change the established strategy, but emphasized that it should be strictly implemented and not let the opponent's poor start performance affect its own judgment.

The timeout ends and the U.S. team continues to attack.

With only 11 seconds left, Paul received the serve and immediately started attacking.

But Liu Xiu's defense, Paul feels, is much better than when they met in the NBA!

It felt like meeting a luxury version of the Italian team, with the Lithuanian team on the outside, stronger and rougher!

At this time, Wade came up to block Liu Xiu, and Paul used the screen to break through. He passed Wang Shipeng, who was switching defenses, and rushed inside. He took off like a spring on his legs and avoided Yao Ming's defensive throw... With good luck, the ball hit the basket.

It bounced up and fell into the frame.

But even though he scored, Paul was not calm in his heart. He looked at Liu Xiu when he retreated... If the NBA had not banned defensive attempts, would the Warden defensive end have to start the world peace mode at the point guard position?
