Chapter 814 Great Wall Linkage
After waiting for a while, the game will start immediately.
On the jump ball, Mourning's height was a problem, so the US team arranged for Garnett and Li Shengli to jump the ball. When they met in midfield, Li Shengli felt that there was a problem when he saw Garnett's wretched smile, but Li Shengli couldn't say what the problem was. .
Taking off with a bang, Li Shengli took the lead in turning the ball to the back.
Maybe Payton and Kidd guessed that Garnett was not good, so they moved very quickly. The two immediately entangled Guo Shiqiang who was holding the ball in the back, and Li Shengli suddenly realized...the gang of bastards on the opposite side didn't even give halftime. But, totally unreasonable.
Isn't this crazy?
You must know that this kind of defense looks rough at the beginning. The consequence of two people pestering the ball holder is likely to cause a shortage of defensive strength in the backcourt, because if Guo Shiqiang distributes the ball, the ball will be faster than the man and quickly advance to the front. The Chinese team in the field can play four against three in a short period of time.
It's just that Guo Shiqiang didn't expect such a shot, he even struggled to score the ball, and almost handed the ball to Zhang Jinsong, so there was no such thing as a rapid advance and more hits, but he advanced to the frontcourt... Li Shengli was afraid that there would be problems with the pass, so he immediately went to a high position to meet his teammates.
Damn, this is too bullying!
Li Shengli was very unhappy with Kidd and Payton's unconventional defense. He took the initiative to ask for the ball from Zhang Jinsong who was holding the ball.
Although Mourning's defense is notoriously tough in the league, if it is only about single defense, it is still a bit worse than O'Neal, but O'Neal's offensive performance is too strong, and his defensive ability limited to single defense is not too impressive. People pay attention, and everyone knows this, so seeing Li Shengli hit Mourning with his back...
"Damn, he got the ball!"
"Quick, move!"
"Kevin, get ready to meet me!"
The U.S. team, facing a big enemy, immediately started to move, but the problem was that Li Shengli's back hit was too fast. After hitting Mourning on the back, he immediately turned over and rushed to the basket with his feet. After encountering Garnett, he jumped up and rounded his arms. One-handed buckle on Garnett's face, the scene was full of excitement and amazement.
Except for the NBA and the US team, this kind of offensive performance is rare in the international arena.
As a result, the benches of the Chinese team stared wide-eyed, even the old coach Jiang Xingquan felt that the sky had changed, and there was no one in Asia who could play inside the US team like Li Shengli. It's much calmer... because everyone has experienced the horror of Li Shengli sitting firmly on the throne of the league's restricted area. As long as he doesn't pick up the defensive players on the spot and eat them raw without dipping mustard, a single dunk is really nothing.
In fact, Li Shengli didn't feel anything.
Mourning couldn't defend, because he was sure that Mourning was familiar with his back-playing style, and the first wave was mostly about finding rhythm, so this time he poured all his strength to the end and caught Mourning by surprise. Mourning, who was at the center of gravity, couldn't stop Li Shengli at all.
As for Garnett... Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Garnett is the leader in making outside shots and defending Garnett under the basket as a center forward. Li Shengli can score no matter how he plays. That was the tight defense that Kidd and Payton teamed up just now.
In any case, the momentum must be played out.
……
Back to Team USA offense.
The U.S. team can start defending after halftime, but the Chinese team can't, so they advanced very smoothly this time, but just reached the frontcourt... Garnett asked for the ball and prepared to single-handedly. After all, he was defeated by Li Shengli just now. The beating was a bit embarrassing, and he wanted to get back the lost face from Da Zhi.
In fact, he knew about Da Zhi, but he knew what he knew. Da Zhi, who played as a backup power forward for the Mavericks, could never compare with himself.
Therefore, Garnett, who has always been not good at confrontation, unexpectedly confronted Da Zhi head-on.
The problem is that Dazhi has Li Shengli and other teammates behind him. Now he is not afraid of any physical consumption. His experience in NBA games has also made him adapt to the confrontation. It is not in vain for Garnett. With an ugly face, he immediately turned over and shot a jump shot.
With a bang, strike the iron!
The rebound was a bit far away, Mourning was stuck in Li Shengli's position, and Kidd seemed to know the location in advance, so he jumped out to pick up the rebound and passed it to Payton in the bottom corner for a three-pointer. The process was quick and without muddling.
To be honest, Kidd’s data is very weird. Last season, he averaged 14.3 points, 10.1 assists, 7.2 rebounds and 2 steals. Let’s not talk about anything else. As a point guard, this rebound data is quite fucked. Stuck, but the rebounding awareness is really strong, nothing to say.
As for Payton... he is most praised for his defense, but his offensive ability is also very strong, much better than Kidd. This season, he averaged 6.3 three-pointers per game and hit 34%. In fact, he also averaged 6.5 rebounds per game, so this time he and Kidd both rushed to the same area to form a three-point shot after the frontcourt rebound.
……
Back to the Chinese team's offense.
After a few times, it was too time-consuming and exhausting to advance under the tight defense of the whole court. Fortunately, there were no serious mistakes for the time being, and the attack hit the frontcourt...Originally, Li Shengli was on the field, and the outside shooters were It is possible to give the US team a burst of shots, but the problem is the rebound after hitting the iron.
Whether it is Mourning, Garnett, Kidd, Payton or Carter, no one believes that Carter, who has the least rebounds per game based on the previous season, has 5.8.
Perhaps for a single game, the average data is not so meaningful, but what can prove is that these people have rebounding awareness and ability, not to mention Mourning and Garnett, two players who broke double inside, He defended his backcourt firmly, blocking the possibility of wave shooting tactics in advance.
So if you want relatively high efficiency, you can only do it with Li Shengli.
However, after Li Shengli hit a 4-for-3 first, the U.S. team joined the double-team defense in the positional battle after the tight defense. According to the prediction of the U.S. coach Rudy...
Kidd's rebounding data as a point guard is a miracle, and Li Shengli's assist data as a center is also an unsolved mystery, so the biggest possibility is to distribute the ball to the power forward. Compared with Li Shengli's efficiency, the distribution to the power forward This is acceptable.
As a result, Big Zhi became one of those who were selectively shorted.
This is a treatment and style of play that Dazhi has never had before in the Mavericks. The efficiency of mid-range and short-range shots is not bad. After Li Shengli's 4-for-3, he hit 6-for-3.
……
As for defense.
The entire league knows that Li Shengli, who is the king of the penalty area, is terrific both offensively and defensively. The Chinese team can still maintain a good efficiency, but the US team can't.
Mourning was not easy to shoot, couldn't squeeze into the basket, and was suppressed by the height difference against Li Shengli in the mid-range shot.
Garnett approached Big Zhi a few times but didn't take advantage of it, and he stopped playing, and his shots around the screen were not good.
With Mourning and Garnett pulling people apart, Carter is very uncomfortable. He can fly, but he can't find a landing point. Before the game, he felt that it was exciting to torture Li Shengli. Now it is really exciting...Forced by Li Shengli Hit air traffic control.
As for Kidd, the offense... don't mention it.
Carter couldn't fly in, and Payton couldn't even get in. Except for the first three-pointer, the decent touch later couldn't save the game.
So after playing for a while, the US team fell behind by 5 points after the first quarter.
But the problem is that Li Shengli didn't feel the advantage, because this time Dream Four was not only able to start, but also brought a group of all-star shooters to wait behind, so Li Shengli was afraid of being a pervert like Ray Allen run out.
Without Crotty, without Kobe, and without Artest, defense is a problem.
Ray Allen, who has 45.5% two-pointers and 42.3% three-pointers, probably has no natural enemies here, but for Li Shengli... Putting aside the influence of all factors and only remembering the ideal situation, if according to Ray Allen's three-point Compared with the average efficiency per game, they must hit 63.5% of the shots to hit two points.
Li Shengli doesn't know why, but feels that Mourning's state is a bit sluggish. Without double-teaming, Mourning should be able to hit 63.5% of the required shots. It's only 50% going up a little bit, and this state is still far from the goal.
Although there are limitations in analyzing the game with percentages, in fact the US team can indeed play this way. As long as the volume and number of shots are increased, the effect can be played.
Even if Ray Allen's three-pointers are only 40%, it will be fatal, and Li Shengli will not be able to catch up.
Coupled with the American team's rebounding ability and Kidd's assist ability, it can easily create opportunities for Ray Allen, and this will...
Rudy, the coach of the US team, really wanted to make a substitution.
Seeing Li Shengli's state, Rudy was a little panicked, but the tigers lost to the wolves... If Li Shengli led the Lakers to play today, Meng Si, who is not in good condition, would not be able to withstand it, but it is obviously not. The American team can solve it. There are many.
As for Li Shengli... there is no need to guess how the US team will change.
There are all All-Star players with outstanding personal abilities. Whoever is not in good shape can be replaced by others, and the functions are the same. The head coach of the Dream Team is always the most relaxed head coach in the world of basketball. Sometimes he doesn't bother to call timeouts.
Therefore, when the perimeter defense may not be effective, Li Shengli needs to expand his inside advantage.
Dazhi's performance is already excellent, but the expected efficiency of the superior performance is still insufficient. Coupled with physical problems, Li Shengli needs Dayao to stand up and take the lead, and this is also one of his goals for this Olympic Games.
Although Dayao is not suitable for playing power forward in all aspects, whether it is agility, jumping or speed, Li Shengli is fine, he can play, and the defensive end of the temporary combination may not change too much, but the offensive end is expected. There are still some changes... You can play the high and low positions of the twin towers, the left and right low positions.
Especially with Dayao's height, the natural shot height difference is already very difficult to guard against.
In the second quarter of the game, coach Jiang Xingquan really played Dayao, and the U.S. team saw the substitution and replaced Dayao... Garnett knew it at the beginning, and he also played a friendly match with Dayao, so he immediately became alert. Start to warn teammates that the real death bomb has appeared.
