Chapter 56: Fighting Against the Dream Team Alone! Final Result
The United States team attacks.
James holds the ball and organizes the offense at the top of the arc.
Wade and Kobe moved up to the high position from the left and right sides and made cross-running movements.
After Wade received the basketball and broke through to the restricted area to attract the defense, he passed the ball to Kobe, who made an easy jump shot.
The three superstars put on a wonderful performance.
Although the US team can crush all players with their talent, they are also very clear in their tactics.
"Let's make a concerted effort to widen the gap and not give the Huaxia team any more chances."
Kobe said seriously, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Although the American Dream Team is several levels stronger than his Lakers, he is still a little worried that this game will be reversed by Jiang Chen.
For him, the impression of Game 6 of the Finals was too deep.
Kobe had no idea how much energy his future teammate Jiang Chen could show in this game.
Just like just now, less than 2 minutes after Coach K replaced the main lineup, Jiang Chen chased him by 10 points.
This scoring explosiveness is really terrifying.
Therefore, the game must be resolved as soon as possible.
The boss has spoken.
James, Wade and others all nodded seriously, with cold eyes.
The dignity of the Dream Team is inviolable.
As a redemption team, they absolutely cannot allow themselves to lose any game in the Olympics.
The Chinese team attacks.
Jiang Chen dribbled the ball across half court, looking at James in front of him, and dribbled with all his strength, the basketball changing dizzyingly in his palms.
Suddenly he took a step back and made a quick jump shot for a three-pointer.
Although James was able to see Jiang Chen's intention, he still failed to limit the latter's shooting.
With the help of thunderous dribbling, Jiang Chen was very fast and his retreat stride was very large. James did not keep up with the rhythm of defense and could only watch the basketball fly out.
Swish!
The basketball fell into the basket like a well-aimed missile.
"It's in, it's in! Another long three-pointer. Even James can't defend against Jiang Chen's step-back three-pointer."
Yang Jian said, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
If he wasn't in the commentary booth, he would probably have jumped up in excitement.
"Hey! This is the strongest shooter in China. When he's in hot form, no one can stop him. Not to mention James, even Jordan may not be able to defend him."
Mr. Zhang showed a proud and complacent look on his face.
Regardless of the game situation, Jiang Chen played an explosive performance and demonstrated the Chinese men's basketball team's never-give-up spirit.
As the host, the Chinese men's basketball team did not embarrass hundreds of millions of fans.
"Pull the No. 12 player in a double team, don't give him a chance to dribble across half court, and cut off his passing route."
Coach Lao K frowned slightly and said seriously.
He had a clear feeling that the influence of this No. 12 player in the game had surpassed that of China's team leader Yao Ming, and he had become the sharpest arrow of the China team on the offensive end.
The dependence of the Chinese team players is shifting from Yao Ming to Jiang Chen.
The United States team attacks.
Kobe broke through and attracted a double-team, then passed the ball to Anthony on the outside.
Anthony raised his hand and shot, hitting another three-pointer.
The Chinese team's defense was like paper in front of the US team and posed no threat at all.
The Chinese team fought back.
Jiang Chen had just received the out-of-bounds ball when James and Wade double-teamed him.
There was an uproar at the scene and the fans became excited.
"Am I seeing things? Two NBA superstars are actually trying to double-team Jiang Chen?"
"What kind of treatment is this? It shows how much of a threat Jiang Chen brings to the US team."
"Awesome, I just want to say Jiang Chen is awesome."
The fans were talking to each other, shocked.
In this Olympics, how many players can get such defensive treatment from the US team?
I'm afraid there are only a handful of them.
Jiang Chen was helpless and could only pass the ball to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei dribbled across half court, and after Jiang Chen, with the help of Yao Ming's screen, circled around the bottom corner and got rid of James, he passed the basketball to him.
After receiving the basketball, Jiang Chen dribbled quickly and ran towards the penalty area.
Wait until James comes over to defend.
Jiang Chen made a quick stop jump shot and used [Aomine Daiki's non-fixed shot].
He leaned back again, and when he was almost lying flat again, he "threw" the basketball out.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
James' eyes showed shock and disbelief.
here we go again.
That's a damn weird way to shoot.
How to seal?
It can't be covered at all!
I feel like I have all this strength, but I can't use it.
This feeling is really uncomfortable.
The rest of the American team had expressions of shock on their faces, and they were secretly thankful that the team's offensive talent was so strong that it overflowed.
Otherwise, with the Chinese rookie's crazy scoring rhythm, this game would be really difficult to win!
...
For the next period of time, the two sides entered a stalemate.
Jiang Chen single-handedly countered the offense of five superstars of the US team, and the game was deadlocked for several minutes.
The audience was so excited that they shouted "Jiang ChenMVP" to cheer him on.
But two fists cannot beat four hands. Jiang Chen's two major offensive skills also have a hit rate, and it is impossible for him to score every goal.
Besides, there is very little help that teammates can provide.
In the end, the score was gradually widened by the US team.
The third quarter ends.
71:86.
The United States leads by 15 points.
In this quarter, the Huaxia team scored 30 points, of which Jiang Chen himself made 8 of 12 shots, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 21 points.
Section 4.
The US team also has a full starting lineup.
Watching the five best players on his team walk onto the court, Coach K felt a little depressed.
Since the Dream Team was formed, they have played in the America's Cup and several warm-up games, but there has never been a game in which they only led by 15 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
There has never been a game in which the main players are needed to play in the fourth quarter.
They usually finish the battle in three quarters.
You should know that in the previous games of the Dream Team, they beat their opponents by an average of about 25 points per game, crushing all their opponents.
But in the first group match of the Olympics, they did not crush the Chinese team and had to let their main players play, which was outrageous.
Even if they win the game, Coach K is not happy.
On the stadium.
The Dream Team ran tirelessly and made brilliant defensive counterattacks one after another.
Except for Jiang Chen, the other players on the Huaxia team were already panting and taking steps with difficulty, as if their lungs were being torn apart with every step.
Obviously, his physical strength has reached its limit!
After three intense quarters of play against the U.S. team, everyone's physical strength finally couldn't hold out.
Everyone placed their hopes on Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen lived up to expectations and scored 5 points in a row to help the team stabilize the situation.
But in front of the US team, which still has plenty of energy, it is ultimately a drop in the bucket.
Even so, all the starting players of the Huaxia team insisted on playing until the last few minutes.
beep!
Court hearing.
The game is over.
91:104.
The Chinese team lost to the US team by 13 points.
This created the smallest score difference in the history of the confrontation between the Chinese team and the American team.
The audience burst into applause, and the sound of "Come on" continued for a long time.
In the eyes of countless Chinese fans.
Chinese men's basketball team, defeated but still honorable!
