unfinished glory

Chapter 167 Finals ([-])

In the jump ball, Yi Jianlian lost to Garnett, and the US team attacked first.

Kidd dribbles up the court and hands it to Kobe.Facing Li Chongxiao's defense, Kobe didn't dare to be careless. After probing for a while, he lobbed the ball to Garnett and asked him to hit Yi Jianlian with his back and scored two points with a small throw.

Going back to the Huaxia team's offensive round, the ball was first given to Li Chongxiao. He also did not attack, but gave it to Yao Ming, who scored an inside jumper.

After several games, the Huaxia team's offensive routine has become very clear, which is to focus on Yao Ming and Li Chongxiao's individual offense or mutual cooperation, and other players to assist or ambush.

At the beginning, the point guard was still organizing the ball. Since the Lithuanian team, the ball had to pass Li Chongxiao's hands in almost every round.Jonas' purpose is very clear, let him control the ball and judge the timing of the attack.

This kind of tactical superstar is very thorough, but judging from the current team configuration of the Huaxia team, it seems very reasonable.

In the first quarter of the game, Li Chongxiao was not obsessed with individual singles, but was constantly looking for opportunities to play simple pick-and-roll cooperation with Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, or after a breakthrough, he would give Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Zhizhi who were ambushing outside the three-point line. Liu Wei passes the ball.

The coach gave him unlimited firepower, but he knew that even if his physical fitness could support the whole game, the continuous singles tactics could not persist for so long without being targeted.Every position of the US team is very strong, and a single tactic is very easy to be restrained.

……

Driven by Li Chongxiao, the Huaxia team played against the US team inextricably.

Before the game, the old coach K also guessed that the Huaxia team must be implementing a singles tactic, so the focus of defense was on Li Chongxiao.They are proud and think that there is a big gap between the other players of the Huaxia team and the players on their side, so they don't need to spend too much energy.

With this mentality, the Huaxia team got a lot of opportunities except for Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming.Sometimes the "smart combination" can even attract a double-team of five opponents.

Li Chongxiao is tall enough and has a good passing awareness. When encountering double-teams, he can always get the ball out.Today's teammates also worked hard, and most of the balls he passed were also hits.

He scored 8 points and 5 assists in the first quarter, acting like a point guard.

By the second quarter, the players on the U.S. team had changed. Howard was at center, Stoudemire was at power forward, followed by Anthony, Wade and Paul.

Anthony's offensive skills are a big killer in FIBA, and Zhu Fangyu cannot defend them at all.

Under the matchup, Anthony scored 8 points in a row, making the US team's lead into double digits.

Li Chongxiao singled Wade with his back. Under Paul's double-team, he still scored a goal, and the point difference returned to 8 points.

The old coach K was surprised that only relying on offense could not completely solve the opponent. When facing other teams before, he usually led by more than 10 points in the first quarter, and the opponent showed no strength to fight back.It was the same in the last game against Huaxia.

But now the opponent is obviously able to keep up with the team's offensive rhythm. In order to avoid repetitions in the end, Old K began to ask the team to strengthen their defense and use a two-pronged approach.

They first resorted to a full-court pressing tactic. Their strong athletic ability and physical fitness made the Huaxia team flustered, and mistakes were made very quickly.

A typical example is that Liu Wei was a little careless in a pass and was intercepted by Paul, and then Wade took the lead, and Li Chongxiao couldn't catch up behind him.

In addition to the full-court pressing tactics, the US team also increased the speed of movement. While ensuring the double-teaming of the two superstars of the Huaxia team, they can also move quickly to interfere with the Huaxia team's players' shooting actions.

The Huaxia players can shoot open shots, and they performed well without much defensive pressure in the first quarter.But in the second quarter, it was a bit unsustainable to meet the American team who spared no effort.

Zhu Fangyu, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, was blocked by Wade just after finishing his shooting.And at the previous moment, Wade was still double-teaming Li Chongxiao.

Seeing that the point difference became 10 points, and then 15 points, Li Chongxiao couldn't stand anymore.He took the ball and started the singles.

First, he made a three-pointer over Wade's head, and then hit the basket continuously.After these few breakthroughs, he no longer passes the ball, but puts the ball in the frame as the first priority.

In order to deal with the embarrassment that the ball was cut off before reaching the frontcourt several times, Li Chongxiao started to play combo guard again, not only to bring the basketball through the frontcourt, but also to distribute the ball.

A few times I give the ball to other players, most of the time I either play singles or give it to Yao Ming.

This simple tactic actually paid off. In the second quarter, the Huaxia team lost first and then won. The single quarter tied with the opponent 28:28.

But in terms of the total score, the Huaxia team is still 7 points behind.

……

At half-time, Jonas praised the players for their efforts.It is because of them that they can closely follow the US team and retain the hope of winning.

But hard work alone cannot smooth out the huge difference in talent between the two parties.At the most basic level, Team USA can rotate the lineup many times, and the strength of the bench lineup and the main lineup are almost the same.

The Huaxia team needed Li Chongxiao to play from the beginning of the game until now, without any rest time.

Jonas dared not take the slightest risk.In the third quarter, Li Chongxiao continued to play, and other players could rest for a while, but he couldn't.According to the current defensive strength of the American team, no one in the Huaxia team can dribble the ball through the frontcourt except for Li Chongxiao.

In this quarter of the game, the US team slowly widened the point difference, from 7 points to 16 points, in less than half a quarter.

Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming worked hard in the second half of the quarter, attacking continuously, so as not to allow the opponent to expand the score.

Soon the fourth quarter began, and the cooperation between Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming continued, and the US team couldn't think of a way to deal with them for a while.

Can't guard against these two, can't guard against others?During the timeout, the U.S. team decided on its offensive tactics. On the one hand, it strengthened its defense against the other players of the Huaxia team, and on the other hand, it increased its offensive efficiency.

The Huaxia team has only two players who can't defend, while the US team has five players who can't defend.

Facts also proved that their tactics were good. There were only 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the Huaxia team fell behind by 20 points.

Li Chongxiao still did not give up.

At this time, other tactics are useless, only relying on personal singles ability.Without further ado, he made quick shots against Kobe's defense and scored three three-pointers in three rounds.

Although the goal was scored, it did not improve the situation of the Huaxia team, and Kobe also made consecutive shots.With 1 minute left until the end of the game, they were still 14 points behind the US team.

Everyone knows that the Huaxia team is powerless, and Li Chongxiao can only struggle. Although he and McGrady are at odds, not every player can accomplish the miracle of 35-13.

The final whistle sounded, and in the Olympic basketball finals, the Huaxia team lost to the US team 97:109.

There are no losers in today's game.The Huaxia team overcame all obstacles this summer and largely achieved their pre-Olympic goals.

The fans are very tolerant at this time and understand the strength gap between the Huaxia team and the US team.Everyone thinks that a silver medal is already the biggest gift package to give back to the fans.

At the awards ceremony, during the period when the Huaxia men's basketball team won the silver medal, almost no audience left the scene, and they gave the men's basketball team continuous applause.

The rest of the old Li's family also came, and Li Chongxiao hung the silver medal around Li Guangfu's neck after presenting the award.

　I was on a business trip and wrote it in the early morning. I was so sleepy that I couldn't carve out the details that I thought of.

　　It is still quite difficult to write a book part-time. Several times I thought about having two or three shifts, but I was consumed by overtime or business trips. Constantly increasing may be the final bottom line.
