Chapter 898 Want to win?(1/2)
The problem of team US slow fever is just like Bolt's slow start.
Coach K is not particularly worried about this, but he is a little worried when he sees Li Liang being in good condition early.
Cousins broke the scoring drought of the US team. He played Zhou Qi at a low post and caused Zhou Qi to foul, and made two free throws on the free throw line.
But Cousins had a problem, he committed a foul at the beginning.
If Li Liang does not take advantage of his weakness, he will not be able to be Li Liang.
Sure enough, seeing that the United States wanted to find a breakthrough from the inside, Li Liang decisively began to break through with the ball.
He used his skills to pay homage to the sect on the outside, and one of them worshiped Buddha and passed Durant.
Cousins was exposed after all.
This guy is also a fool, knowing that he was fouled and rushed up.
As a result, the two collided in the air, and the referee blew a defensive foul by Cousins.
Li Liang went to the free throw line, which was to give him points. At the same time, Cousins had to leave the court for two early fouls.
Cousins is the only inside attack point for the US team, because the US team has brought two inside players together, the other one is Jordan Jr.
After Cousins's game, the United States was like a lame attack.
Although the United States can kill the Chinese team with one leg, China does have many fewer concerns in its defense.
Two free throws were made, one of the first games was 7:2, and the Chinese team led by 5 points.
This made Chinese fans very excited.
When the Chinese team played at home in 2008, they also played very well at the start.
Of course, it is proved later that basketball is a long-distance race, and it is useless to rush ahead at the beginning.
However, the Chinese team's opening feeling was really great, especially on the defensive end.
The players' level has improved in the two-month warm-up match.
One improves in close-fitting defense and defensive position, and the other improves in physical fitness.
The first one was scolded by Li Liang, and the second one was spoiled by Li Liang.
Li Liangwan did not relax his vigilance because of a little lead at the opening.
He has seen a lot of knowledge and has seen many big scenes.
If the Chinese team wants to make the American team lose their skin in this game, they must be mentally prepared to remove the three skins first.
"Stay on, the inside line will collect, the inside line will collect!"
Li Liang kept emphasizing and commanding in the defense.
Klay Thompson's ball breakout was disturbed.
Turning back, Li Liang dribbled the ball repeatedly on the outside. After 20 seconds, he made a single shot and made a three-pointer from the outside at a very long distance.
No hit.
This kind of singles that delay time looks very cancerous, but in fact it suppresses the rhythm of Team USA.
Even if Li Liang makes accurate appearances in the outside world, he will always fail to make an investment.
If he takes action quickly, the Chinese player may have just run over and not yet stood firm, and he will soon retreat.
After a few rounds, the US team played a lot of people, and they took turns to play like a lantern. The wheel battle could drag down the Chinese team's physical strength in the first half of the game.
Li Liang drags offensive time and reduces the pace, slows down the game and reduces the number of rounds.
Give Chinese players more time to breathe a sigh of relief, and then invest more defensive energy in positional battles.
The US team's counterattack did not come out and had to fall into a positional battle.
Jordan Jr. tried to single Zhou Qi at a low post, but was blocked by Zhou Qi!
Zhou Qi's long arm is still very intimidating. He didn't even jump much, so he slapped Jordan, who was not good at skill.
The United States scored its first goal in the first quarter until 7 minutes.
Kevin Durant received the ball from the bottom corner on the right and made a mid-range jump shot.
7:4, the Chinese team is still 3 points ahead.
After Li Liang wasted two opportunities to make three-pointers from the outside, he chose to break through this time.
After Yi Jianlian came to pick-and-roll, Li Liang did not go to the right because he knew that the right was a trap.
He chose to go the left, which was a false cover.
After entering the basket, Li Liang passed the ball with a high throw to the inside.
Yi Jianlian succeeded in the air relay!
Li Liang did not obsessed with his own attack, but fully cooperated with Yi Jianlian.
He didn't believe other players, but Yi Jianlian was trustworthy.
If you play in teams such as Spain, Yi Jianlian may not have too many such opportunities.
But there are only two insiders in the United States, one is stupid and the other is unhappy.
He really has more opportunities to show himself.
Immediately, Team USA played a pick-and-roll cooperation outside.
The Chinese team was in a big gap at the basket, Durant passed the ball to the inside, Jordan Jr. received the ball and killed the basket in two steps, and made a one-hand dunk!
The Chinese team's defense was careless in this goal.
"Shrink, shrink under the basket, need someone! There must be someone in the three-second zone!"
Li Lianggang went to the outside to defend Durant, but the basket was empty.
Next, Li Liang decided not to defend Durant alone, and he devoted more energy to the basket.
Let them shoot outside shots, and they must not be penetrated at the basket.
During the offense, Yi Jianlian was still sharing the pressure from Li Liang.
He hit Anthony in a low post.
Although Anthony put Yi Jianlian very much on the outside, Yi Jianlian still relied on his soft touch and made a mid-range backward jump shot.
The Chinese team continued to maintain a three-point lead.
This time, it feels different.
Team USA is a little anxious.
Anthony began to show his power, passed the ball and rushed to the basket, pushed the ball away from two Chinese defensive players, and put the ball into the basket.
singles.
Afterwards, Li Liang passed the ball to Yi Jianlian, who held the ball as a wall to cover it.
Li Liang received the ball at a high position, shot directly from a three-pointer, and hit again!
Li Liang's attack speed was too fast, and the defense of the US team could not be interfered with.
Then, Durant received the ball at the low post and hit Guo Ailun one-on-one.
Turn over and jump shot, hit easily.
Or singles.
The Chinese team's defense was not discouraged. On the contrary, everyone's morale was higher.
Li Liang was in control of the ball, and the US team didn't even have the idea of double-teaming.
Because they knew what level Li Liang was, everyone knew it was too difficult to intercept the ball from his hand.
Ball control skills are one aspect, he is not the top level, mainly Li Liang's confrontation is too strong.
Durant defended Li Liang one-on-one, and Li Liang leaned sideways and squeezed out the space with Durant back.
Thompson waited for an opportunity to come and double-team, trying to block Li Liang's dribbling and passing routes.
Li Liang had a gap, so he immediately took the ball and accelerated horizontally to get rid of it. Yi Jianlian came over to pick-and-roll.
Li Liang cut in from the right side, stopped urgently, smiled slightly, Kassel's ugly smile!
Two points, hit!
The Chinese team continues to lead!
Lao K finally felt something was wrong and called a pause.
Li Liangwan controlled the game scene and rhythm.
Make a foul, suppress time, throw three points, and direct defense.
He is simply the emperor on the court.
The first quarter was quite difficult for Team USA.
