Chapter 1286: Tiechui, Stop Being so Arrogant!
"Kobe Bryant changed to a layup, Yao's feet were slow, and the thug fouled." Zhang Lili shouted.
"Dayao's pace and mobility have declined, and his defensive end can no longer keep up with the pace of these top defenders." Yu Jia sighed.
"Everyone will grow old, that's normal. At O'Neal's age, isn't there anything he can do with a hammer?" Zhang Li said with a smile.
Before the free throw, Deng Huade replaced Dayao and Zhu Fangyu came on.
Yu Jia was sharp-eyed and immediately shouted: "Substitute Zhu Fangyu and return the hammer to the basket. It is completely impossible for a Chandler to compete with him. Then the US team will definitely have to add another inside man. Who is it? In fact, the US team does not have one either. What a choice.”
When Barkley saw the substitutions of the Chinese team, he immediately shouted: "Now the American team should pay attention. The most powerful king of the penalty area has returned to the penalty area, so the American team must pay attention to rebound protection. Now let's see who Coach K replaces." ?”
"Kevin Love went up and replaced Durant?" Kenny Smith said at this time.
"This is wrong," Jordan said immediately.
On the court, Durant was a little confused about being replaced. He spread his hands and looked at Coach K, who motioned for him to get off the court.
Coach K has no choice. Among the five starters on the field, except for Paul, only Durant has the lowest qualifications on the outside. If he is not replaced, he will have to replace Kobe or James, and if something goes wrong, his responsibility will be greater.
Of course, with his qualifications, he does not need to worry about these big-name players, but the US team has not won an international championship for more than ten years. He is under great pressure and has more worries.
At this time, Kobe made a free throw and hit it.
The Chinese team attacks and Liu Wei holds the ball in the backcourt.
Coach K stood on the sidelines and immediately made a full-court press signal.
This time, no different than in 2004 and 2008, the US team has too many people to use on the outside. He can use full-court pressing tactics without any scruples to pressure the Chinese team's defenders and force them to make more mistakes.
"Oops, Liu Wei made a mistake and Kobe stole the ball!" Yu Jia shouted anxiously.
"Bang!" Kobe Bryant dunked with a tomahawk style, smashing the Chinese team's basket.
He was very excited after scoring five points in a row. When he was hanging on the basket, he pointed at Li Ba with one finger.
The last person to do this to Li Ba was McGrady. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and a cold feeling suddenly came into his heart.
The national team battle is the most worthy game for a player. Even Kobe, he must teach him a lesson today and let him know that provoking him will have to pay a price.
Li Ba shouted to Li Nan on the sidelines: "Brother Nan, prepare to substitute, the last one can shoot a three-pointer."
Li Nan nodded quickly and went to discuss with Deng Huade.
When the Chinese team attacked, Li Ba caught the ball and pushed forward. At the same time, he hooked his finger at Kobe: "Come on, Kobe, take a look at my ball?"
Kobe's face twitched and he actually pounced on him.
When Li Ba was holding the ball, the U.S. team was in a bit of a mess. Paul was guarding in front of Li Ba. James wanted to come over and change defense. At this time, Kobe also ran over, so Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng of the Chinese team were freed up.
Li Ba shook his hand and passed the ball to Wang Shipeng.
The unguarded Wang Shipeng immediately advanced to the left three-point line and took the opportunity to shoot an open three-pointer.
"Uh-huh!"
Three point hit.
"yeah!"
When he saw the water splashing in the basket, Wang Shipeng clenched his fists and shouted in excitement.
"Beautiful!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
3:5, the Chinese team fell behind by 2 points.
Team USA attacks.
Li Ba stood under the basket and shouted at Kobe: "Come in, Kobe, let me give you ten big hats!"
Kobe's eyes flashed coldly.
However, he really didn't have enough confidence to attack the penalty area guarded by Li Ba.
"Rookie, come in here."
When Li Ba saw that Kobe didn't want the ball, he yelled at Paul at the top of the key.
Paul's hand shook, Boss, stop fooling me, I'm stupid, rushing in to find a hat?
"Rookie, come in!" Li Ba looked at James again.
"Hammer, you are so crazy!" James roared in a low voice.
In the CCTV live broadcast, Yu Jia laughed and said: "The five members of the US team, the two insiders and Paul are all the Hammers' younger brothers. Kobe and James have been suppressed by the Hammers for so many years. Only when the Hammers retire will they have a chance." How to fight for the championship?”
"The five of them are all business partners of Hammer, and they have all invested in Hammer's business. The relationship off the field is actually very iron-clad and tightly tied."
Zhang Lili smiled.
At this time, Liu Wei tried to steal Paul, but was called for a foul.
Deng Huade took the opportunity to replace Liu Wei and play Sun Yue.
The U.S. team serves the ball from the sideline, and both Chandler and Kevin Love get to the basket to protect the rebound.
Paul used fast-paced control to get rid of Sun Yue and hit a three-pointer from the outside.
Unfortunately, there was an opening, but the ball missed.
Under the basket, four insiders competed for rebounds at the same time.
From a height perspective, the U.S. team has an advantage, but Li Ba’s positioning and mobility are so advantageous that he still protected the backcourt rebound.
Returning to his offensive end, Li Ba still controlled the ball himself and did not hand it to Sun Yue.
This time the American team was not so chaotic. Coach K signaled James to switch to guard Li Ba, Chandler to guard Arab League, and Love to guard Zhu Fangyu. Kobe still faced Wang Shipeng, Paul and Sun Yue.
Barkley saw this and frowned: "There are some problems. After switching defenses, the Chinese team gained at least two mismatch advantages."
Just as Jordan was about to speak, the situation on the court changed.
With Li Ba holding the ball, the American team suffered a loss just now, and this time there was no double-teaming or full-court press.
When he was advancing steadily and almost reaching the midline, he glanced at the front court, swung his hand, and threw the ball to Yi Jianlian on the left wing.
Yi Jianlian received the ball and played against Chandler. He leaned against him for a while, then immediately turned and broke through, and broke through Chandler, and rushed to the penalty area with the ball.
When Li Ba was in control of the ball, the Chinese team was all spread out, and the basket of the American team was also empty. With no one guarding, Yi Jianlian seemed to be in an empty space. After entering, he made a flying dunk and scored a goal.
"This is the advantage of mismatch. Chandler can't keep up with Yi. Yi can play small forward, and Chandler can only play center. How can he keep up with Yi?"
Barkley shouted.
Jordan said: "The other mismatch is the No. 1 position. Paul is too short to defend the point guard of the Chinese team."
Kenny Smith said: "I remember that point guard. He seemed to be selected by the Lakers in 2007. He never signed a contract afterwards?"
"Signed in the second season, transferred to the Development League, and then cut again." Barkley said.
Coach K obviously noticed the situation on the court and immediately began to plan substitutions.
He was troubled by the fact that Li Ba played the No. 1 position, and only played the No. 1 position on the offensive end, and was still the No. 5 position on the defensive end, which made it very inconvenient for the US team to deal with.
He thought about it and felt that there was no good way, so he could only take the method of attacking against attack and score more points on the offensive end.
