Chapter 76: Defense Against Jiang Chen? Also Restricted! Open the Thunderous Dribble Four- Finger
Jiang Chen ran to the top of the arc, waved at Liu Wei, and asked for the ball.
I originally wanted to let my teammates find their offensive touch first, but now it seems I need to start the offensive mode myself.
After receiving the basketball, Jiang Chen dribbled back two steps and made a direct three-pointer.
The basketball drew a high arc.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
The whole audience cheered.
The fans were all excitedly shouting "Jiang Chen" and looking forward to him using his superb three-point shooting ability to help the Huaxia team turn the situation around like he did in the past few games!
"Hey guys, it's time to show your excellent defensive skills."
The Lithuanian coach on the sidelines roared loudly, seeming a little excited.
Yao Ming was completely restricted at the beginning of the game. Now if Jiang Chen is restricted, what else can the Chinese team use to compete?
The players all nodded, with confidence in their eyes.
The Lithuanian team attacked.
The high pick-and-roll tactic was used again, and the point guard took advantage of the screen to break through to the free throw line and made a quick stop jump shot.
Another mid-range hit.
The Chinese team attacks.
Jiang Chen had just crossed the half court when he encountered tough close defense from his opponent.
Without the ability to break through, the opponent can defend you recklessly.
Jiang Chen began to run actively without the ball, hoping to get a chance to catch the ball and shoot by running, but the defensive player followed him closely, and the other players were also paying attention to Jiang Chen at all times.
As long as Jiang Chen shows signs of running out of the open space, the nearest player will immediately abandon the original defender and instead assist in defense next to Jiang Chen, continuing to put defensive pressure on Jiang Chen.
At the same time, the Lithuanian team also expanded its defense range to outside the three-point line.
The intention is also very clear, which is to limit Jiang Chen's ultra-long-range three-pointers.
In this way, other Chinese team players will inevitably be missed during the defensive process.
But it is obvious that the Lithuanian team used such an extreme defensive method to gamble on the shooting accuracy of other players on the Chinese team.
Yi Jianlian got a shooting opportunity near the free throw line and made a long-distance jump shot.
BANG!
Blacksmith.
The shooting touch of the other players on the Huaxia team tonight can only be described as icy cold.
Yao Ming was completely restricted, which more or less affected everyone's performance.
The rebound was grabbed by the Lithuanian team, who quickly launched a counterattack.
The point guard took advantage of the fact that Yao Ming had not yet returned to defense and used a sharp breakthrough to easily tear through the Chinese team's defense and make a layup.
Several rounds in a row.
Jiang Chen was also very uncomfortable with the various defensive methods, where he was chased, marked, helped, and even double-teamed all the time, and he had no chance to catch the ball and shoot.
Take advantage of this opportunity.
The Lithuanian team launched another offensive climax.
Seven minutes into the first quarter, the score was 23:7.
The Huaxia team is already 16 points behind.
"Jiang Chen was also restricted by the Lithuanian team. This way of giving up the original defender to help defend Jiang Chen is really amazing."
Yu Jia frowned, with some anger in his tone.
"There's nothing we can do. Apart from Jiang Chen, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and Liu Wei on the Huaxia team don't have stable shooting ability."
"Zhu Fangyu, the only player who can shoot three-pointers well, is still on the bench."
" Jiang Chen replaced Zhu Zong's position. The two have very similar functions, so it is difficult for them to appear on the court at the same time. After all, it is not a reasonable choice to let Liu Wei or Sun Yue leave the court."
"Liu Wei needs to organize the offense, and Sun Yue's defense is very much needed by the Huaxia team."
"It's really hard for Jonas to make a decision!"
Yang Yi shook his head and said that he had analyzed the situation of the game very clearly and was familiar with the lineup of the Chinese team.
"It seems that it is difficult for the Chinese team to break through."
Yu Jia said, somewhat hopelessly, is this the end of the magical Chinese team?
Yang Yi didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with deep worry.
What to do?
A possibility came to his mind, but he quickly rejected it.
The audience seats on the sidelines.
The players of the US team also fell into silence.
They also didn't expect that the Chinese team would have such a difficult time in this game. The Lithuanian team completely dismantled the Chinese team's offense.
"I originally thought that the Huaxia team could make it to the finals, but now it seems that hope is slim."
"Lithuania is indeed a very good team. I still remember the scene of the last Olympics vividly. I felt very frustrated at that time, just like Jiang Chen, I felt like I couldn't use my strength."
Anthony shook his head and couldn't help but recall the painful memory.
"That's good, we have a chance to take revenge!"
"In the Athens Olympics, our Dream Team 6 lost to the Lithuanian team and was eliminated."
"In this Olympics, we defeated Lithuania in the final and won the championship. There is no better ending than this."
James also said this, his face a little gloomy.
Except for Chris Paul, the other three Banana Boat brothers are all in the Dream Team 6.
The loss to Lithuania was undoubtedly one of the darkest moments in their careers.
"It seems difficult for the Huaxia team to turn the situation around now. Is Jiang Chen willing to lose the game like this?"
Wade said, somewhat doubtfully.
He saw Jiang Chen's crazy performance in the NBA Finals.
Will a player with this kind of superb three-point offensive ability be limited?
"There is another way to break the situation. Jiang Chen once demonstrated this ability, but it seemed to have disappeared and he never used it again."
Kobe said in a serious voice, his eyes full of anticipation.
At this critical moment when the team's survival is at stake, can Jiang Chen still demonstrate his all-round abilities?
On the stadium.
Jiang Chen started to get anxious as he watched the score gap grow.
He originally planned to use the upgraded Thunder Dribble in the finals.
But now, I have to use it in advance.
The Chinese team attacks.
After Liu Wei dribbled across half court, he passed the basketball to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen stood near the center line, but the defenders still defended closely and were very confident.
Without hesitation, he activated [Hayama Kotaro's Thunderous Dribble] and used four fingers.
A thunderous sound rang out softly on the court.
Jiang Chen just changed direction slightly and easily got rid of the defender with a quick dribble.
At that moment, the basketball seemed to disappear from the court.
Only after Jiang Chen completely passed the defender did the basketball appear in his hands again.
He stopped suddenly outside the three-point line, with no one three meters in front of him, and shot a three-pointer directly.
The basketball drew a high arc.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
The whole place was silent, and the next moment it erupted in cheers loud enough to blow the ceiling off.
The players on the court all looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, their heads full of questions.
What just happened?
Then, the players of the Huaxia team celebrated wildly.
Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng on the bench waved their towels excitedly.
"Jiang Chen... unexpectedly...broke through!!"
ps: There is one thing I would like to correct. The previous article said that the US team did not pay attention to the Lithuanian team. This chapter has been corrected and the previous article has also been modified.
