Chapter 449:

In the US team's locker room, the atmosphere was a little dull.
Although it has been mentioned countless times, the US team had already regarded the China Men’s Basketball Team as one of the biggest enemies in the international arena when Jeremy Lin announced that he would give up his American citizenship and return to Chinese nationality. However, neither the players nor the coach had ever thought about the situation. It would be so bad!
At the end of the three quarters, the US team fell behind by 3 points! You know this is not a dream team that lacked a large number of top players to join in 2006!
Although the lineup of the Rio 2016 Olympic Dream Team is not the best compared to the previous Olympic Dream Team’s lineup, there are still three players in the current season’s best team, many of which are second team and third team. They are called dreams. The team is not exaggerated at all.
But it is such a team that has never broken through the top 8 of the Olympic Games before, but has been pressed and beaten all the time. It only relies on the depth of the lineup to bite the score. This is simply a shame!
"In any case! Hao Peng must be restricted! If he continues to tear our position on the inside, we may really lose this game!"
Old K's voice is serious and heavy.
Whether you win or lose in this game, the China Men's Basketball Team will become the biggest opponent of the Dream Team in this Olympic Games! The threat level even exceeds that of Spain and Argentina!
...
In the China Men's Basketball locker room, Wang Xiao did not say much, just let the players rest as much as possible to recover their fitness.
Few main players is the biggest problem of the China Men's Basketball Team. At present, the average playing time of the team's starting five is close to 5 minutes longer than that of the US team.
Don’t underestimate these 5 minutes. Even if converted into a roundback run every 24 seconds, 12.5 times will be performed in 5 minutes. The straight-line distance is 350 meters. This has not yet calculated the offense, offense and defense time less than 24 seconds. The physical consumption of physical contact such as the running position and rebounding of the card position.
Even Jeremy Lin, a player who has been accustomed to the high-intensity competition in the NBA all year round, is a bit unable to stand it, let alone other people.
At the same time, the player's foul situation is not optimistic.
Wang Meng, who mainly targets James, has already had 4 fouls by the end of the third quarter, which means that he will be sent off the court as long as he fouls once more. He must be careful when facing James in the fourth quarter. There can be no excessive movements.
In addition, Hao Peng, as the pillar of the inside line defense, has to face all breakthroughs initiated from the outside line. The defensive task is heavier than Wang Meng. At this time, there are also 3 fouls and only 2 chances to be sent off. ,
It can be said that the fourth quarter game will be the biggest challenge to the China Men's Basketball Team. Only by overcoming the above difficulties can we have a chance to defeat the American team.
In these aspects, tactics can play a small role, mainly depends on the players' personal performance, Wang Xiao only emphasized the foul problem with Wang Meng and Hao Peng.
Soon, the short rest period was about to end.
Wang Xiao stood up, looked around at the players in the locker room, and said in a deep voice: "Next, it is the section that determines the final victory and defeat, and it is also the key moment that directly determines whether we can win gold in this Olympics! Although this is just a small It’s a small group stage, but only by defeating the US team here, crossing the US team, and in the knockout or finals, we have a chance to beat the US team again! Success or failure is in one fell swoop!"
...
auzw.com At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the players of the two teams returned to the field.
Wang Xiao's China Basketball Team is still the starting lineup, Jeremy Lin, Cheng Jie, Wang Mengyi, Jianlian and Hao Peng.
The American men's basketball team has made some adjustments.
As a small forward, James appeared directly at the point guard position, Thompson as the shooting guard, George at the top of the small forward position, Durant still played as a power forward, and the center was a defensive-oriented Dunn. .
In the first three quarters of the game, Old K tried to get the three point guards in the team to try it out. As a result, whether it was Irving, Lillard or Lori, they were unilaterally suppressed when facing Jeremy Lin.
As a frequent visitor to the best defensive team, Jeremy Lin may not be able to completely suppress top point guards such as Curry, Paul, and Westbrook, but he seems a little relaxed when facing weaker point guards such as Irving and Lillard. Freehand.
Simply "sex", the old K replaced the point guard, in the last quarter directly let the organization forward James guest point guard.
This arrangement allowed the overall height of the US team to rise by one level instantly, and there was no player under 2 meters on the field.
Fortunately, the average height of the China Men's Basketball Team is not low. Except for Jeremy Lin, who is 1.93 meters, the other players are also above 2 meters.
...
James came to the position of point guard and the defender was replaced by Jeremy Lin.
This is a good thing for the China Men’s Basketball Team. After all, although Wang Meng was very successful in defending James’ defense, he only allowed James to take 9 shots and hit 3 goals in three quarters, scoring only 10 points, but the price was 4 fouls and receiving. If James strengthens his offensive firepower, it is difficult to guarantee that Wang Meng will not be sent off for the fifth foul.
Although George is not easy to deal with, his style and style of play are different from James after all. It is definitely safer to play against James if he is a little careful.
As for Jeremy Lin against James, it is not impossible to fight.
As we all know, in 2010, the Heat formed the Big Three to hit the championship, and they faced the Mavericks in the finals and eventually fell into the sand.
In which series, the two heroes defending James are Jason Kidd and Sean Marion.
At the time, 38-year-old Kidd was even more efficient in marking James than perimeter defensive expert Marion. Before the Heat, in the Western Conference finals and semifinals, Kidd also defended the Lakers' Kobe and Thunder respectively. Durant, the effect is outstanding.
Although Kidd's success in defending James alone had many factors at that time. For example, James himself was not in good shape. For example, at that time, James had not developed low offensive skills and could only rely on outside breakthroughs to attack, but even this was not enough. Kill Kidd's ability to defend.
This is true for 38-year-old Kidd, not to mention Jeremy Lin, who is at his peak at this time?
Faced with James, who has developed low-post offensive skills and is more powerful than 10 years, Jeremy Lin can at least limit James' performance on the outside.
As for the low-post offense that has gradually become James's usual skill, Jeremy Lin really has nothing to do with the difference between height and weight, but it doesn't matter, he can't help but Hao Peng!
In the low position, Hao Peng is a big mountain standing in front of all opponents!
