Chapter 186 Unstoppable
After the timeout, the U.S. team replaced Wade, and the real strongest offensive lineup came.

At this time, Li Hai is completely focused on offense. There are too many high-scoring players in the US team, and Li Hai can't defend against them. Only by fully displaying his personal scoring ability and cooperating with the team's defense is the present. Opportunity.

After playing again, Li Hai hit another two long-range points.

In his current situation, he was extremely focused again. After making up his mind, he just focused on scoring.

In this way, at the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team surpassed the US team by 32 points at 25:7.

Li Hai played with enthusiasm, and communicated with the head coach before going on the court, saying that he didn't need to rest at all, and Jonas also had an idea. If he could lead the national team to kill the United States, his worth as a coach would definitely be high. It will rise sharply, and he is not calm anymore.

Li Hai is in good physical condition, and he has played longer in the NBA than in the international season, so he continued to play in the second quarter.

The US team has carried out a player rotation, and Wade is now leading the team on the field.

However, as the team with the most capital, the US team's bench lineup is stronger than the main lineup of other teams, so they can rotate without being affected and keep the players on the field energetic at all times.

This is also the reason why some strong teams can compete with the US team in the first half, but they often collapse in the second half. Their rotation allows players to go all out for the whole game, regardless of physical problems.

So Li Hai is scoring explosively now. Although they pay attention to it, they don't think it will be impossible to solve.

Moreover, most of the stars brought by the US team are not the type who focus on defense. Their current defense, under the training of the old coach K, has a European style, pressing fiercely but cannot completely restrict players with strong offensive ability.

In the second quarter, Li Hai still scored crazy points, and the American team scored very efficiently.

At the end of the half, the Chinese team led by 62 points at 56:6, and the American team fully displayed their offensive power in the second quarter, but they only recovered 1 point.

And Li Hai scored 18 points in the first quarter, 12 points in the second quarter, and even scored 30 points in the half.

During the intermission, James took the initiative to ask Ying to defend Li Hai, and his single-defense ability is better than Battier's. He is also the player with the best physical fitness in the US team. The advantages of strength, strength, and speed are used in turn, and there is no physical advantage in front of James.

In the locker room of the Chinese team, even the old players were excited because they were able to lead the US team at halftime.

"The U.S. team is human too. They are not myths. As long as we continue to maintain our offensive efficiency, let alone halftime, it is not impossible to win them. There are several countries that have already won the U.S. team. Not one more than us."

"That's right, Li Hai, what you said is very good. If I can play for the US team once, it will be worth it all my life."

"Brother Li and Brother Yao can't defend even the US team, why can't they win?"

"Li Hai, you just need to shoot, and we will seize the opportunity to shoot."

"I'm not that accurate in three-pointers, but as long as I play, I must defend desperately, making it difficult for them to score."

The players in the entire locker room, including Li Nan who followed as the captain, became excited.

Jonas is also very happy, but as a coach, he still reminds the players not to think too much. He also made detailed arrangements for the situation in the first half and the tactics for the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, James stood in front of Li Hai.

But at this moment, Li Hai didn't care who was defending him anymore. His way of scoring wasn't breakthroughs or low-post singles, but the team's inside line came up to cover, and he shot as soon as the cover was covered. untie.

At the beginning of the third quarter, he scored 8 points in a row to extend the lead to double digits, forcing the US team to call a timeout.

Originally, they thought that with the change of defense and the exhaustion of physical strength in the first half, it was impossible for Li Hai to still have such a high scoring efficiency, but the fact made them a little panicked. Fist, making them more and more tense.

They also tried to attack, but Li Hai's accurate pass through the inside let them know that there is still an All-Star big man in the Chinese team.

Everyone in the US team even thought of those failures two years ago, especially the three young captains, who had experienced it at that time. Some panicked mentality directly affected their shooting percentage, and the US team seemed to have the possibility of collapse.

The old coach K could only ask for a timeout again, he couldn't go on like this, he had to make these guys sober, this is not the true strength of the US team.

At this time, Li Hai already felt that the surrounding air was a bit sticky.

Don't look at him basically solving problems with jump shots, but he has always maintained a strong concentration and seized every gap to complete the attack, consuming at least twice the usual physical strength.

It would be fine if there was no intermission, but after a few minutes of rest, he stopped sweating intensely and consumed a lot of energy.

Every time he paused, he felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't show it. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit and looked like he could fight for another day.

In the last few minutes of the third quarter, Li Hai felt extremely tired, and his shooting percentage also fluctuated. He was very aware of his body, and if he went down to rest at this time, he would be even more depressed.

And the advantage of the Chinese team is supported by him. He doesn't want to burn the previous advantage because of a few minutes of rest. If his shooting rate is still stable, there is no problem with the rest. When playing, continue to score points to gain the advantage That's fine, but his shooting percentages are starting to drop, and if the score is caught, the game may be over.

Absolutely not like this, Li Hai gritted his teeth, didn't he just play the whole game, what a joke.

Are you feeling tired physically? Have you reached the limit? Then step over. Li Hai suddenly rushed to the inside line. James didn't expect that he was shot by him, and Battier, who came up to defend, lost his own Third foul.

It was a very rare phenomenon for Li Hai to hit only one of two free throws, but his expression did not let others notice his problem.

At 90:82, at the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team led by 8 points.

The few Chinese fans in the stands who came to cheer on the scene were hoarse, and the same was true for the fans in front of the TV. The performance of the team gave them a sense of identity and honor.

But during the interval between games, Li Hai felt even more uncomfortable.
