Chapter 367 Incredible, lose less and win more

"Li Chengming faced Howard. These old teammates from the Magic team are now appearing as opponents..."

Director Zhang smiled and talked about the gossip he had heard before, "I heard that when Li Chengming first came to the Magic, I challenged him in a duel at the training camp organized by World of Warcraft and defeated him. That's why Howard later

He will be brought to the US national team as a sparring partner..."

"This rumor may not be true, but they must have played against each other during the Magic team's training, and they knew each other well, so Li Chengming didn't test at all, and just used his own strength to get in, and Howard took it

There's nothing he can do..."

"The most important thing is that Howard's height doesn't seem to have much advantage when facing Li Chengming. His registered height should be hydrated. And in single defense and top defense inside, Howard is facing Dayao.

When players like Li Chengming become famous, it will be more uncomfortable, which will expose their weaknesses - look, this time Howard jumped up again..."

He still loves to dance so much!

Li Chengming shook Howard with a fake move and then took the shot. The ball drew a rainbow-like arc in the air and fell steadily into the bag, another 2+1.

Howard shook his head, feeling a little frustrated.

Perhaps, even if he didn't say it, he must have wanted to prove that he was stronger than Li Chengming.

After all, next season may be the core battle between the two of them, and currently it seems that he has no other advantage over Li Chengming except in defense.

It can even be said that Li Chengming's current progress on the defensive end is unexpected, and the two of them can also be said to be good at winning. After all, Howard also has disadvantages on the defensive end, and Li Chengming can actually make up for it.

But in the future, can they still play side by side and be as close as they did last season?

As the game continued, the American team had to double-team Li Chengming because his personal offensive threat was too great.

And the lineup set up here opens up the space very much. As long as Li Chengming has some vision space, he can easily see where his teammates are and accurately distribute the ball to better positions.

As a result, in the first half when the Chinese men's basketball team was full of energy, their three-pointers were completely missed. Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, and Da Zhi were all great shooters today. In the second quarter, they scored five more three-pointers.

The three times were all in the second half of this period.

At the end of the half, the men's basketball team ended the half with a score of 55:47, still with an 8-point lead.

In the second quarter, Mengba still recovered some points, mainly relying on their speed and impact in transition. Once they were given space to rush up, and there was a gap under the basket, the men's basketball team

It's hard to stop.

Especially the front-guard combination of Wade, Kobe, and James is not an exaggeration to say it is an outside iron gate. If it were in the NBA, the Chinese men's basketball team might not have enough offensive time in each round.

However, the purpose of the NBA is to encourage offense. Adding rounds will shorten the attack time of each round. Of course, it is different in NCAA or international competitions.

A fast pace is definitely more beneficial to the American team, so when Yunus called a timeout in the second half of the second quarter, he asked the players to set the pace because they had Li Chengming and Dayao Yao, who were in position.

There is an advantage in fighting, as long as other players can ensure that they are open to catch and shoot the ball.

Of course, if this trend continues, when the men's basketball team's physical strength declines and the focus on defense is no longer there, the opponent may be able to play more smoothly.

So the second half is still very dangerous, but now this result is definitely something that no one expected before the game or even some time after the game started. Even the commentators are sighing: "I didn't expect that one day our men's basketball team would be able to lead the United States at halftime."

Team……"

Although it was only a half-time lead, it was enough for everyone to be satisfied and open the champagne in advance.

After all, before the game, most people said "lose less and win more". In view of the strength gap between the men's basketball team and the American team, which is much larger than the gap between the championship team and the weak team in the NBA, losing is doomed.

As long as you can show your style and your own spirit, that is the most important thing.

Many people are still thinking about when they will be overtaken by the American team in the second half, and they should delay it as much as possible. If they can lead by three quarters, they can still call it a day even if they are overtaken later.

After all, how many national men's basketball teams in the world dare to say that they can lead the American Dream Team in half or even three quarters?

"Damn it, you're actually in the lead?!"

"I heard that I thought someone was playing a prank on me. Am I wrong, or am I just dreaming?"

“The men’s basketball team is awesome!”

"Li Chengming almost got a triple-double at halftime. This is his first appearance for the national team. Isn't that awesome?"

"He is indeed a star who won the championship and FMVP. He came back and directly brought worthy changes to the national team. Yao really can't compare."

"Don't start a fight. Both of them played very well today. With Li Chengming here, Dayao also played much more easily."

…

During the halftime break, the men's basketball locker room also looked very festive. Seeing this, head coach Yunus did not pour cold water on everyone. You should be happy when you should be happy. If this momentum can be maintained,

Maybe it's a good thing.

Of course, you can't be too excited. You still have to take the time to take a good rest. This is the most important thing.

Compared with the more profitable NBA league, in order to broadcast advertising and other factors, there is a 15-minute break in the midfield, and there are various timeouts that disrupt the rhythm. The Olympic men's basketball game not only has fewer timeouts, but also has a shorter game time and midfielders.

The break was only scheduled for ten minutes.

From the audience's perspective, it felt like they were in a daze for a while, went to the toilet and came back, then it was over and the game entered the second half.

Of course, this is better, after all, they don't want to delay, they just want to see the results as soon as possible.

But for the Chinese men's basketball team, this is a problem.

Less rest time means that they cannot recover as quickly, and the consumption in the first half is really known by whoever plays.

Even Li Chengming feels uncomfortable, and his physical fitness is already considered strong in the current national team.

"It's really incomparable with those 'animals' from the American team..."

Looking at the Mengba stars who came back to life in the second half and there were still some eager stars sitting on the bench, Li Chengming turned back to Dayao and secretly smiled wryly.

Dayao also shook his head helplessly. In fact, everyone knew that the real challenge for them would not really begin until the second half, or the third quarter.

Because the opponent has already tested one of their weaknesses in the second quarter, the opponent will definitely take advantage of this time to launch a counterattack. If they cannot stabilize the situation within this period of time, it is best to maintain the current score difference.

That is equivalent to giving a weak signal to the opponent.

The opponent will definitely be like a shark that smells fishy smell, pounce on them without mercy and "gnaw" them directly.

"Okay, the second half of the game has started, let's get back to the game!"

The fans were well aware of the challenge in the second half, and watched with uneasiness and unconcealed anticipation as the referee blew the whistle and the game continued.

In the first wave, the Chinese men's basketball team had the ball. As a result, in the first round, Liu Wei was dribbling the ball and was forced by Kidd and Kobe at the same time. After passing the ball, James stabbed him first.

After losing the ball, several people in the backcourt of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team immediately chased back, but they could only watch as James performed a series of "raising fire to the sky" style of violent abuse of the basket that he often performed in the NBA.

"Hey, Liu Wei was a little careless with this ball, but the American team's pressing was really fierce..."

"careful!"

As a result, I was still talking about it, but I almost made a mistake when I served in the next round.

Obviously, the American team now also knows the strengths and weaknesses of the Chinese men's basketball team, so they directly launched a backcourt press. The three of them continued to double-team and move quickly, intending to force the men's basketball defender to make mistakes.

.

In this way, even if they have an advantage inside, the ball cannot be moved to the frontcourt and positional warfare cannot be fought. How can they still fight?

Of course, the men's basketball team can also choose to slow down the tempo, and the forwards can provide a little cover in the backcourt, but in this case, they will have to consume a wave here before moving forward, and the accumulation will be serious.

In short, no matter what, it will be good for the American team.

The men's basketball team has indeed paid a price. Dayao and Li Chengming first spent a lot of time in the backcourt, and then had to fight all over again in the frontcourt to grab positions. The men's basketball team also spent a lot of time to regain their position.

Fall into position.

As a result, when they were finally in position to get the ball and prepare to start singles, the American team looked at the right opportunity to double-attack, and they were required to quickly release the ball and then take a quick shot. If they reorganized, it might time out.

Even if Li Chengming and Dayao take action forcefully, efficiency cannot be guaranteed.

After more than four minutes of playing like this, the point difference was caught up to 4 points, and Yunus immediately requested a timeout.

"During this period, Mengba's defense has been very good. Whether it is pressing in the backcourt, defending in front, choosing the right time to flank, or interfering with shooting, we must not give the men's basketball team too many opportunities to easily attack.

.Li Chengming and Dayao are also somewhat restricted during this period..."

Yunus also said to the players on the bench: "We need to make some changes now. Do you have any ideas?"

He was mainly asking Li Chengming and Dayao. After all, if there were to be some adjustments to the lineup, a choice would have to be made between them.

It's not that the two are incompatible, it's actually harder to restrict dual-core opponents.

But after all, both of them are inside, rather than being driven by both internal and external cores. Once the opponent shrinks in and uses rotation to fill in, interfering with outside shots, the shooters like the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team will not be able to perform well.

Li Chengming glanced at Dayao, suddenly raised his hand and said: "I have an idea..."
