MTL - Healing Basketball-Chapter 1021 Goal Update: Bench the Little Giants

  Chapter 1021 1021. Goal update: let the little giant sit on the bench!

  During this period, Wade developed a low-post attack, not the traditional low-post attack, but imitating Liu Xiu and Hill's marching backs.

  Although part of the meniscus of another knee was removed, the explosive speed was also affected to a certain extent, but the overall strength is stronger than before!

   Liu Xiu, who was beaten, was full of fighting spirit.

   Kobe, Anthony, Paul, Hinrich... After that, it's Wade's turn!

   Wheel battle against the opponent's entire team, Liu Xiu likes it!

  Maybe there will never be such a strong dream team again in the future. It is the only chance to hand in hand, and he wants to enjoy this moment.

   Just enjoy!

  Different from the mental state in which every player on the opposite side is gradually falling into a bewilderment, Liu Xiu's idea now is very simple - put the ball into the basket on the opposite side.

  He's enjoying playing against the once-in-a-lifetime true-dream team!

Wade led the team to score 8 points in the next 3 minutes, and his performance was not bad. In addition, he faced Yao Ming with a 1-on-2 ball and turned around to put the basket. The US team scored 10 points in 4 minutes, of which 6 The points were scored by Wade.

   But compared with Liu Xiu, there is still a gap. During this period, the Chinese team scored 11 points!

  Yi Jianlian scored a dunk, Liu Xiu made a counter-attack dunk and a mid-range shot against the defense after a pick-and-roll, Yao Ming caused a foul in a single and made two free throws.

  Adding Liu Xiu's ultra-long three-pointer at the start of the second quarter, the Chinese team scored 14 points!

  56 to 46, the lead of the Chinese team expanded to 10 points!

   Entering a timeout, Wade was replaced, and he was brutally beaten by Liu Xiu!

  It's a real fight, everyone can see that Wade is desperately fighting, while Liu Xiu seems to be playing.

   Wade, who was replaced, sat on the bench unwillingly. He was the one who felt the most.

  He could clearly feel Liu Xiu's joy, not the joy of playing against him, but enjoying the joy brought by the game.

  In addition to being unwilling, Wade is still at a loss—is there any possibility for him to surpass Liu Xiu?

  Liu Xiu, who is in the same class and age, is the object Wade has always wanted to surpass, but after five years of fighting in the professional arena, he found that the gap between him and Liu Xiu never seems to have narrowed.

   Confused, helpless emotions spread in Wade's heart...

  Wade was almost autistic, took over Kobe and Anthony who were the main attackers, and started a duel with Liu Xiu again.

  Compared to Wade, who is thinking about things, Kobe and Anthony have a simple idea-to win him!

When Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming were on the court at the same time, Kobe and Anthony led the team at a disadvantage. The Chinese team played a wave of 12 to 9, and the score came to 68 to 55, but there were more than 3 minutes left in the first half. , After Yao Ming was replaced by Yi Jianlian, the US team returned the Chinese team's wave of 11 to 7.

   After halftime, 66 to 75, the US team narrowed the point difference to single digits.

  Although still lagging behind by a large point difference, Liu Xiu's halftime performance of 31 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block can only be described as terrible.

  The Chinese fans all held up the slogan "Invincible in the World", which means that the translation of the American team is very straightforward and meaningless-the world's number one.

  The world is invincible, the more accurate translation is under the blue sky, no one is his opponent, and there is God above the blue sky.

  But the US team saw hope in the last few minutes of the first half!

  Although Liu Xiu is strong, the inside line of the Chinese team is weak. In this level of competition, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi can handle it with ease, but Yi Jianlian can barely hold on.

   And Yao Ming's biggest flaw as a super center is physical strength!

  In a game of this level, Yao Ming can play 25 to 30 minutes at most. If there are too many minutes, it will be difficult to guarantee his dominance against Kwame Brown and Howard.

  Those two were suppressed by Yao Ming on both offensive and defensive ends, but they are already the two best defensive centers in the world today. Once Yao Ming tends to decline in physical strength, these two can cause him trouble.

  Old K concluded that Silver Fox would not let this happen, and would definitely choose to replace Yao Ming to rest.

  Yao Ming rests in rotation, and his inside strength declines. Yao Ming continues to play on the court because of physical problems and his performance declines, resulting in a decline in his inside strength. Smart people will choose the former.

  Old K is sure, this period of time is their chance to make a comeback!

  The halftime break is over, and after returning to the court, Old K once again emphasized the precautions to the players, and then returned to the bench to sit down.

  After the joy of finally discovering the chance of reversal faded, his shame emerged.

   Now you even feel so happy when you find a chance to win? He is coaching the dream team!

   But I lost the year before...

  He suddenly didn't want to continue coaching the national team so much.

  But it seems that the initiative is not in his hands...

  If they lose tonight, there is no doubt that there is no hope of renewing the contract, and there is no need to continue coaching.

   But even if he wins, he doesn't want to continue coaching, and he is going to resign voluntarily.

  Looking at the two assistant coaches D'Antoni and Popovich beside him, Old K unconsciously felt sympathy.

  I have to fight Liu Xiu so many times a year...

When I looked at the other two assistant coaches, Huo Tu and Jim Boyheim, I was very envious. The former has been the assistant coach of Liu Xiu Club for several years, and the latter is Liu Xiu’s Bole, the leader of the initial stage of his basketball career... It is said The daughter even climbed onto Liu Xiu's bed!

  If Beuheim knew what old K was thinking, he would definitely pounce on him and strangle him to death.

  Your daughter just climbed into that kid's bed!

  …

  The second half of the game began, and the fierce battle between the two teams continued.

  Liu Xiu, who was full of Buffs, continued to lead the team to compete with the US team.

  As expected by the US team, wait patiently, there are still opportunities.

  In the first half of the third quarter, the Chinese team relied on the combination of Liu Xiu, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming, coupled with Li Nan and Zhu Fangyu, to firmly suppress the US team.

But during this period, old K adjusted the lineup, and no longer let Kobe and Anthony go to the pointless. The opponent's lineup is strong offensively, but the defense is not as good as when Wang Shipeng and Yi Jianlian were there. Facing the US team, Wang Zhizhi played power forward, Li Nan Playing shooting guard, even playing zone defense, the defensive end is also lagging behind.

   At this time, the US team will be replaced by the dual-core of Paul and Kwame Brown, coupled with Deron, James, and Prince, it will be enough.

   At 6 minutes and 11 seconds into the third quarter, when the Chinese team called a timeout and replaced Yao Ming, the score came to 93-80. The Chinese team scored 18-14 in the past 6 minutes.

  Old K saw Yao Ming dry off and put on his training clothes, so he decisively replaced the combination of Hinrich, Deron, Kobe, Anthony, and Bosh.

  He doesn't know how long Yao Ming will rest, but he is sure that Yao Ming will play all the remaining time when he plays again. Silver Fox will calculate how long Yao Ming will play.

  As for the judgment of Yao Ming's physical strength, Yinhu, as his head coach, must know better.

  But old K can be sure that Yao Ming will not play again for the rest of the third quarter.

   To seize this time, narrow the score!

   After the timeout, the Chinese team sent Liu Xiu, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi.

  The way the head coach speaks when arranging tactics will greatly affect the players' views on the game.

  At this moment, the players of the Chinese team felt the momentum of "fight to the last stand" from the players of the US team.

The U.S. team attacked, and Kobe missed a mid-range shot in a single, but Anthony grabbed the offensive rebound. The second offensive layup was taken back by Liu Xiu, but the ball was picked up by Anthony again. !

   Bosh is also very useful in international competitions. The US team puts Bosh in the center position, and Anthony's offense will be completely liberated. The outside line can be as domineering as Kobe, and the inside line can be as dexterous as Scola.

  Liu Xiu complained: The talent copied from Dong Ge should not be a kaleidoscope, it should be called a sucker after being hated!

   After switching from offense to defense, Liu Xiu catches the ball and pushes forward. Now he is extremely excited.

  The opposite party feels that now is an opportunity, and has the momentum of fighting to the death.

  Of course he also knows that Yao Ming's rest period is very important to them.

  If you can withstand the counterattack of the opponent, you can reap the victory when Yao Ming plays!

  Silver Fox pulled him aside at the end of the timeout, and assigned him a task to try to make the game overtaken before Yao Ming came on the court.

  Even if you are overtaken, try to control it within 5 points.

  In the following time, there are two trigger conditions for replacing Yao Ming. One is that the score is overtaken to close to 5 points, and the other is that there are 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

  Based on Yao Ming’s way of playing alone on both ends of the offense and defense tonight, using the three-second zone as his private space, and concentrating his remaining physical strength in the last 5 minutes, it will make Beast, Parallel Champion, Bosh, Anthony and others doubt their lives.

   But Liu Xiu's goal is not like this...

   After advancing to the frontcourt, he made a strong breakthrough, and the "strongest first step" was triggered, and Deron couldn't stop him!

   Bursting to the inside, he forced the frame against Anthony and Bosh's pincer attack...was capped.

   But before being capped, Bosh was called for a blocking foul!

   Hundreds of thousands of spectators at the scene shouted "MVP" in unison. When a team is likely to beat the dream team, as long as the game is not held in the United States, there is really not much support for the American team.

   Liu Xiu made two free throws in the MVP call, and his personal score increased to 40 points!

  For the third time in his career, he scored 40+ points in a single Olympic game!

  The players of the U.S. team are numb. Liu Xiu scored 18 points in the first quarter, 13 points in the second quarter, and seemed to be scoring in double figures in the third quarter.

   Then Kobe hit a three-pointer from the wing; Wang Zhizhi caught the ball from the top arc and attracted it to the right side of the pincer, and Li Nan caught the ball and hit a three-pointer to change the color.

Bosh received the ball from Anthony, turned around from the baseline and made a jumper; Yi Jianlian grabbed the offensive rebound, remembering what the master said, don't shoot the ball, use the strength of the waist, abdomen and legs to get stronger, and put the basket against the shrinking Anthony. hit.

  Kobe went straight to the basket and rode Wang Zhizhi to dunk and scored two points; Liu Xiuou went to the basket to lay the basket and scored two points, which caused a foul by Hinrich, who shrank from the flanks, scored 2+1, and scored 12 points in a single quarter...

  The two sides entered the state of confrontation again!

  The two superstars on the U.S. team took turns to attack, while the Chinese team still had Liu Xiu running back and forth with his jersey in his mouth, playing his life on both ends of the offense and defense.

  Different from the matchup at the end of the second quarter, the US team failed to gain the upper hand this time without Yao Ming!

  Since Yao Ming was replaced, the Chinese team scored 11 to 9!

With 3.7 seconds left, the U.S. team called a timeout and served from the frontcourt. Kobe received the ball from outside the three-point line, ran two steps away from the three-point line, came to the front of the basket, and shot the ball before the 3.7-second countdown ended. Out... a frontal three-point hit!

  92 to 104, the US team narrowed the point difference to 12 points.

   With this result, Old K was not satisfied. In a few minutes, he only caught up with the difference of 1 point.

   Almost nothing!

  The only thing to be happy about is that the last three-pointer by the Great God can boost morale, which is comparable to the opening three-pointer of the opposite warden in the first two quarters.

   After playing three quarters, Liu Xiu only missed a long three-pointer at the beginning of the third quarter.

   It's not that he didn't make a shot, but that Hinrich directly pressed at halftime, and Liu Xiu chose to score suddenly.

  Old coach K controlled his expression, not letting his inner dissatisfaction be written on his face, he encouraged the players to have a chance, they are the dream team, chasing 12 points in a quarter, they have that ability.

  The rotation adjustment made by old K is very simple, and Janeway is not suitable at this time.

  Kwame Brown's ability is too "rich" and it's not easy to use now, so Paul doesn't need to use it.

  Centre position Bosh and beast rotation, point guard Kidd and Deron rotation, shooting guard Kobe and Deron rotation, small forward Kobe and Prince rotation, power forward Bosh and Anthony rotation.

   This time they sent a combination of Hinrich, Deron, Kobe, Bosh and Howard.

   The timeout was almost over, and old K looked at the several players who were discussing together. In fact, he was not as confident as he said when he encouraged the players.

   Overtake... Time is running out...

   But if it can be dragged to overtime, there is still hope... No, it seems that Kobe has overtime stress...

   Just when old K's thoughts diverged uncontrollably, the roar from the opposite side startled him!

   Liu Xiu, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi and other six people gathered together and shouted: "Let Dayao sit on the bench!"

  Old K didn't know what the other party was yelling at. The translator next to him told him that the six people on the opposite side didn't want Yao Ming to play again.

   After hesitating for a while, Old K asked the translator to tell the team members what he was yelling at.

  After hearing this, Beast Beast asked in doubt: "Is the little giant injured?"

  The four teammates turned their heads away collectively. It is really embarrassing to be teammates with this guy at this time.

   On the other hand, the other five players of the Chinese team who haven’t played a second of playing time tonight didn’t feel frustrated, but cheered for their teammates loudly. They knew that it was difficult for them to provide help on the field at the level of the game.

  The only ones who can play a role may be Liu Wei and Sun Yue. The former can help dribble across the half court, and the latter can play some role on the defensive end.

  But Liu Xiu controlled the ball all the time. Tonight, the team will not play defense and only attack. The only role of the two is gone.

  Yao Ming laughed out his emoticons.

  The intermission is over, the fourth quarter begins, and the US team takes the lead.

  The players of the Chinese team who were encouraged by Liu Xiu's words just now broke out after a few minutes of rest!

   Beast eats cakes, catches the ball, takes a step and dunks, and suffers a blood cap from Yi Jianlian who rushes in from the free throw line!
