Chapter 237 Strength gap
On August 2008, 8, the last day of the BJ Olympic Games, the Chinese team will return to the Wukesong Stadium and once again challenge the strongest opponent, the US men's basketball team, which beat itself by 24 points in the group stage.

In the semi-final match against Spain, the American men's basketball team encountered a huge challenge, but they still relied on their superior strength to win with a record of 121:109. When the Spanish team shrunk their defense, Wade and James The deadly three-pointer made the Spanish team go home.

Compared with the Chinese team, which played lightly, the pressure of the Dream Eight team is undoubtedly much greater.

As the palace with the highest level of basketball in the world, the NBA has dominated the basketball court since the establishment of the Dream Team until... eight years ago!

Eight consecutive years without a championship has made the NBA lose its face. No matter what the considerations are, they can no longer lose this championship title in this year's BJ Olympics.

Yao Ming won the jump ball and the Chinese team won the first attack.

The fact that the Chinese team was able to reach the final was something that no one expected, which led to a serious lack of research on the Chinese team by the coaching staff of the US team, but they are true professionals after all, and they are very clear about the advantages of the Chinese team—— The Chinese team headed by Yao Ming has a very obvious inside advantage, and the late accurate shooting on the outside is also the biggest threat to the US team. Apart from this, there are no other problems.

As soon as he received the ball late, he saw two black players rushing towards him, it was Kobe and Wade!

The U.S. team is very afraid of late three-pointers, and intends to use two people to completely limit him.

In desperation, Late had to hand the ball to Sun Yue.

Liu Wei was put on the bench today, mainly because he was too disadvantaged no matter facing Kobe or Wade.

Sun Yue dribbled the ball halfway and waited for a while, only to find in embarrassment that there was no one in front of him, and he was emptied by the US team.

Kobe and Wade would rather be late without the ball double-teaming than put a little defensive pressure on Sun Yue.

Looking at the inside, Anthony went around to defend Yao Ming, and Howard stared at Yi Jianlian, which made it impossible for Sun Yue to give the ball to the inside.

From the very beginning, it can be seen that the US team's tactic is to go around the front and defend the inside line, and the outside line will be late, and he will not be given a chance to catch the ball.

This is also the best tactic that the US team can think of to crack the Chinese team's internal and external advantages.

Yao Ming lacks athletic ability, and the Chinese team lacks a good passer on the outside, which makes the US team's defensive strategy around the front very effective.

After hesitating for a while, Sun Yue chose to come by himself.

He dribbled the ball through the air and into the lane, and Howard rushed over immediately.

Sun Yue did not pass the ball to Yi Jianlian, who was released from the position, and chose to lay up by himself.

But Howard's physical fitness is really good, and he rushed up very fast, which caused Sun Yue's layup to be severely disturbed and he failed to make a layup.

However, the U.S. team also paid the price for their bold defense around the front. Yao Ming's positioning skills are extremely good, he easily turned around to block Howard and Anthony, and put the offensive rebound in his arms with a tiptoe.

His height advantage in the interior is too obvious, and the U.S. team's defense around the front is tantamount to giving Yao Ming the advantage of grabbing rebounds.

After getting the ball, Yao Ming chose to play singles, and he sat back with his back.

Anthony is not a player who is good at defense. Although he looks like a power forward in size, he is also very strong, but he prefers to play small forward. Under the strong pressure of Yao Ming, he can't come up with a good solution at all. .

But the U.S. team had been prepared for a long time. Anthony just tried his best to delay Yao Ming for a while, and James rushed inside to help defend.

Yao Ming knew exactly how much advantage he had against Anthony, but the Olympic schedule was very intensive, and the Chinese team's main players were exhausted after continuous fierce battles. He chose a more secure approach.

The athletic ability advantage of the American team is too obvious, Yao Ming did not dare to continue to play hard, and chose to pass the ball to the outside.

At this critical moment, even Yao Ming was a little nervous.

The ball was given to Zhu Fangyu on the outside, and Kobe immediately made up for it.

Although the Dream Eight team has not been in the army for a long time, these top players from the NBA naturally have some basic tacit understanding.

Kobe is famous, Lao Zhu dare not underestimate the NBA super giant, he made a fake move, attracted Kobe's defense and then chose to pass the ball to his teammates.

Yi Jianlian received the ball inside and was immediately blocked by Howard.

When Howard first entered the league, the Magic actually let him play power forward, but the effect was very poor. His skills around the basket were too rough. Whether it was on the offensive or defensive end, as long as he was a little farther away from the basket, he would appear Very uncomfortable.

In the end, the Magic let him play center, but the effect was not bad.Under the one-star four-shot system, Howard's outstanding physical talent is invaluable in this era of withered centers, which also made him quickly become the league's recognized top inside defender... Although this guy often can't figure out himself He always thinks that he is a super center with all-round offensive and defensive capabilities, but it has to be admitted that when Howard is serious about defending, Yi Jianlian has no good way to take him.

Yi Jianlian's style of play is based on three-point shooting, face-up offense and inside defense. His offensive skills at the basket are not outstanding. Only by virtue of his excellent basic skills, he can occasionally show a breakthrough with the ball. After being resisted by Howard, Yi Jianlian is a bit helpless up.

The U.S. team's defense was very tight and well-organized, and Yi Jianlian's youthful impatience was immediately exposed.

Seeing that his teammates didn't seem to be in a good position, he chose to play hard by himself and missed a layup with a feint.

The US team picked up a defensive rebound, and Howard immediately passed it to James to start a fast break.

James caught the ball and threw it into the frontcourt. A bolt of lightning took the lead in the sprint. Wade was the first to enter the Chinese team's half!

Cheekman was affected by knee water this season. He was on and off for a season, and finally healed in the summer. At this time, he broke out at the highest speed. No one on the court could keep up with him. , rushed to the basket of the Chinese team in three or two steps, and dunked with one hand!
At this time, the inside players of the Chinese team have not even been able to return to their own half.

After Yi Jianlian took the shot, he knew that the ball was bad, and he seemed a little downcast.

Yao Ming didn't blame him, but just patted his head: "Very good, this momentum is what I want!"

This is true, at least from another perspective, Yi Jianlian was not intimidated by the luxurious lineup of the Dream Eight.

But this attack and defense has already sounded the alarm for the Chinese team.

The gap in physical talent between the two sides is too great. The US team's tactics are simple and clear, that is, the two strongest points of dead defense late and Yao Ming. Let go of Sun Yue, who is almost equal to no offensive power, and use fast-paced offense to attack the opponent. Break through the defense of the Chinese team.

This is Chi Guoguo's strength gap.
