Seeing such a wonderful ball, Li Nan couldn't help but applaud and shouted "Good ball" in his heart. Seeing Gong Luming's expression was not surprised, Li Nan's heart moved. Mr. Gong didn't change his tactics just now and didn't double-team Harden. Did he say that he expected this to happen, so he was not in a hurry to double-team Harden?

Thinking of this, Li Nan asked: "Old Gong, will the US team still play Harden later?"

"Definitely." Gong Luming nodded, smiled slightly, and added: "For the US team, the two points of No. 2 and No. 4 are still their primary attack points, and they will not change easily because of this ball. But at least, Harden will be more careful when playing singles."

Li Nan suddenly realized.

Gong Luming said again: "It is difficult for us to defend against the US team on defense, even Chen Feng, Yu Qian, Xiao Meng and others. However, it is difficult for the opponent to defend against Chen Feng and the other three. As for Guo Ailun and Ailun, if we want to block the opponent, we have to rely on the players' own efforts and the help of our teammates. For example, in the ball just now, Guo Ailun and Shi Xiaomeng cooperated very well."

"Will we still fight like this later?" Li Nan asked.

"No." Gong Luming shook his head and said, "We'll double-team."

"Uh?" Li Nan was stunned. Guo Ailun was singled twice by the other party. Why did he have to double-team the other party now?

On the side, Du Feng interrupted, "You haven't figured it out yet. The method like the one just now can only work occasionally, but you can't do it again. Do you still expect to rely on this to prevent Harden from killing?"

"That's the reason." Gong Luming said with a smile: "Harden will definitely be more careful next time. Such a method may be difficult to work. He has many scoring methods and does not have to use breakthroughs. Therefore, to limit him, you still have to rely on double-teams, and it is best to double-team at this time. At this time, Harden just lost a ball, which is a very sensitive moment. If he is asked to find one, then his condition may come. But if he is limited at this time and the ball cannot be found, it will be stuck in his heart like a fish bone, and his condition may become worse and worse."

After hearing this, Li Nan's eyes lit up, Du Feng was convinced and secretly gave Gong Luming a thumbs up. He thought about why he used double-teams, and as for why he used them at this time, he didn't expect so much.

Gong Luming walked to the sidelines and gestured to the players on the field.

Seeing this gesture, the Chinese men's basketball players knew that this was to use the "double-team tactic" to target the ball holders of the US team, especially when Harden and Durant were going to play singles, they needed to double-team.

In fact, the lineup on the court is Green, who is facing Yi Jianlian. However, when the US team attacks, Green will go online to support and play some small cooperation with Durant, thus forming a misalignment and becoming Durant's counterattack Yi Jianlian. At this time, Durant will decisively play singles.

Therefore, for Durant, the Chinese men's basketball team must also double-team!

......

"Swish!"

With a light sound, the basketball pierced through the Nets.

This is a three-pointer from Durant. Although the Chinese men's basketball team double-team Durant, Durant's personal strength is too strong and it is impossible to completely prevent him from killing him. Once he gives him a little space or keeps up a little slower, he can take the ball directly after he gets the ball.

Moreover, Durant's offensive range is too large, from the three-point line to the three-second zone, from the zero-degree angle to the top of the arc, there are almost no blind spots, which is unpredictable.

When Durant made this three-pointer, the score became 11:10, and the United States led by 1 point.

Turning around, the Chinese men's basketball team attacked. After the ball reached the frontcourt, Chen Feng passed the ball, and the American team was also executing the double-team tactic. However, they only double-teamed Chen Feng, and they were both defending Yu Qian and Xiao Meng. Only when they saw that the situation was wrong would someone come up to help defend. However, for Guo Ailun, Yi Jianlian was completely defending one.

This is also a tactical arrangement of Popovich. Among the entire Chinese men's basketball team, the one that makes him feel the most threatening and the one that makes him feel the most difficult to control is Chen Feng, so the first thing is to limit Chen Feng.

With the opponent's double-team, Chen Feng reduced the ball, passed the ball after crossing the center line, then started running, made some cover with his teammates, circled around the inside, and then went to the outside to get the ball. If he had the chance, he would take the ball directly.

This time, Chen Feng also circled around the inside and then went to the other side to get the ball, but he did not have a chance to take action directly, so he slowed down.

Seeing Chen Feng slow down, the defender also slowed down.

At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly started, his speed exploded completely, caught the opponent off guard, and passed the opponent in one step, and rushed into the inside line with a pull rod in the air, shaking his wrist.

Swish!

The ball was scored 11:12, and the Chinese men's basketball team took the lead.

"Sure enough, this guy's threat is too great." Popovich said in his heart and shouted at the field, "Be careful, you must follow him closely, and you cannot relax."

......

In a blink of an eye, more than five minutes passed.

Half past the first quarter, the score became 17:16. Team USA led the way, only more than five minutes. The two teams combined have scored 33 points, and the scoring efficiency is very high.

In fact, this is true. Both sides' hit rates are not low, and this is the beginning of the first quarter. The intensity of the confrontation between the two sides has not yet fully improved, and they are more physically energetic, so naturally they have high scoring efficiency.

However, Popovich was very dissatisfied with this score.

He called a timeout, and when the player came down, he said with a stern face: "In half a quarter, you actually let the opponent get 16 points. How do you defend? It would be fine if all the 16 points were Chen, Yu and Shi. But look at it, the three of them together only got 11 points, and the remaining 5 points were obtained by the other two. What does this mean?"

Everyone lowered their heads and had nothing to say.

"This means you're not doing well in defense," Popovich said, his tone changed, "Wait for a while, Harden, Durant, Jordan Jr., you three, Clay, Leonard, Towns, you three."

After the substitution, Popovich spread out the tactical board and arranged: "We need to increase the defensive intensity and put pressure on the opponent. Maybe we can't completely limit Chen, Yu, and Shi, but for other players of the Chinese men's basketball team, I must strangle him to death. I don't care who they are on, do you understand?"

"I understand." Everyone said in unison.
