"Li Feng, well done."

Gong Luming patted his shoulder and said so.

At this time, several teammates who were originally sitting on the bench quickly stood up and made some space for Li Feng.

"Hurry up and sit down and rest. Then, my king, please bring me some water!"

"Yes, take a rest quickly. Why hasn't the water come yet?"

……

Li Feng looked at everyone like this, waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't be so polite, it's okay."

Everyone passed the water that Wang Zhelin brought over. Although they didn't say much, everyone was respectful to Li Feng.

After all, everyone present knew that if Li Feng had not stepped forward once again to take on the task, this quarter would probably be the end of the game...!

After seeing Li Feng sit down and drink some water, Gong Luming walked over and said with a slightly serious expression:

"Li Feng, after this timeout... I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to play."

Li Feng nodded calmly, as if he already knew what strange thing would happen next.

As expected, this timeout was Coach K's tactical arrangement for himself.

The opponent is likely to abandon the single defense tactics used since the beginning of the game and instead adopt a double-teaming tactic to limit their scoring.

Gong Luming thought for a moment, then made up his mind and said:

"If you're double-teamed, just follow our usual tactics. You should have heard them in training. There's no need to go head-to-head with them. If you get hurt, it's not worth it."

In fact, everyone present knew very well that it was almost a pipe dream for the men's basketball team to defeat the American team with its current strength.

Even reaching the quarterfinals and tying the best record in history is already a very good result.

Coach Gong Luming's remarks were also made with the overall situation in mind. Although a temporary defeat makes people feel depressed, it may not be a bad thing in the long run.

Yao Ming's career peak lasted only a few short years. Everyone has their own opinion on who is responsible for this.

He didn't want to see a rising star of the Xia men's basketball team fall like this.

Li Feng didn't say much, just took another sip of water and nodded easily:

"I know my limits, coach."

……

The timeout ended and the US team returned to the court.

Everyone, including Klay and others, have been given death orders by the coach.

That means double-teaming Li Feng!

Originally, Old K had no intention of using this tactic when facing the Xia country players.

To put it bluntly, the players on both sides are not at the same level.

Double-teaming a specific player is often a tactic used when facing the opponent's superstar-level offensive spearhead.

For example, the legendary superstars in history such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant at his peak...

Adopting such tactics often means one thing, which is equivalent to implicitly admitting that they cannot restrict Li Feng by defending alone!

However, everyone, including coaches and players, had to admit that... the vitality and creativity that Li Feng brought to the Xia men's basketball team far exceeded their pre-match imagination.

Even a top defender like Klay finds it difficult to completely limit Li Feng, who is in hot form.

Old K found it hard to believe that this kid was just a rookie participating in an international competition for the first time!

After serving the ball from the baseline, Irving dribbled the ball across half court and then attacked on his own. After two slow dribbles, he suddenly accelerated.

He dribbled past Guo Ailun in a disguised rhythm, then dribbled the ball behind his back and made a quick stop, then retreated and made a two-point jump shot.

"Shh-!"

A very nice goal to get two points.

The Xia team served the ball from the baseline, and everyone handed the ball to Li Feng again.

At this moment, Klay and Irving exchanged glances.

Deal with him!

Because both of them have fast lateral movement ability, they dare to double-team Li Feng outside the three-point line.

Moreover, they were not afraid of Li Feng passing the ball directly, because in the eyes of the American team, the probability of anyone other than Li Feng scoring the goal was not high.

Klay defended Li Feng head-on, while Irving interfered on the ball-holding side and blocked Li Feng's breakthrough route.

This is a serious double-team between two NBA superstars!

Even if they are not familiar teammates and their defensive arrangements are not coordinated enough, there will definitely not be an effect of 1 plus 1 being greater than 2.

But both of their game experience and personal strength are at the top level in the NBA. Even a 1.5 is enough to become a nightmare for many players.

"It's a rare sight in my life. I never thought the American team would need to use double-teaming to limit the offense of the Xia country players."

"Unbelievable... This guy is really crazy!"

"Being able to fight with so many All-Stars for more than two quarters, this player named Li Feng is truly amazing."

"But if he gets double-teamed, even if he's awesome, it'll be a headache, right?"

"Who knows? I'm actually looking forward to seeing how this guy performs."

……

The audience from various countries at the scene also recognized the performance of Li Feng and other players from Xia Country through this half of the game.

Needless to say, this was a wonderful game!

However, they are also worried about the fate of the Xiaguo team.

Because they are facing the most powerful team on the planet!

On the playing field.

Facing a double-team, Li Feng had difficulty in getting any good offensive opportunities except for forcing a foul.

But he also knew that he had no time to hesitate, otherwise he would likely be surrounded and intercepted by two people.

Li Feng dribbled the ball towards Irving's side looking for a breakthrough opportunity, but the two defenders also moved accordingly, so there were no major flaws.

After several dribbles to mobilize the defense, Li Feng found an opportunity for Ding Yanyuhang to run out from the outside.

He passed the ball without hesitation!

Although the defender delayed the shot, preventing Ding Yanyuhang from making a simple cut-in, he stood directly outside the three-point line and threw the ball very decisively.

"Shh-!"

The crisp sound of the net being rubbed was heard.

The ball goes in!

However, the American team did not seem to care. In their eyes, as long as they could limit Li Feng's scoring, everything would be fine. Even if others were lucky and scored a few goals, it would not be a big deal.

Klay Thompson received the ball at the three-point line, dribbled once, and then jumped up and shot without even standing firmly.

This is his specialty in sanctioning various teams in the NBA!

Even though Li Feng was already in position to defend and even stretched his hand in front of him, he still couldn't stop Klay, who was in hot form, from shooting the ball into that damn basket.

"Shh-!"

The American team scored three more points and fought back.

In the following game, Li Feng was still double-teamed by the opponent.

But fortunately, he has a good passing vision, and when a breakthrough fails, he can often pass the ball to assist his teammates.

Xia Guo's team maintained a relatively stable touch from beyond the three-point line, and Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi also performed well under the basket.

However, Old K on the sidelines could see with his sharp eyes that the Xia national team was now at the end of its strength.
