Chapter 521: Intercept Cousins

ps: The third update is over, please give me a monthly ticket!!

Tang Shuai took a deep breath. If he had free hands now, he would want to slap himself......≦...≦

After successfully awakening his teammates' desire to win, he actually felt a little shaken.

Can't give up!

He shook his head, threw away all the messy thoughts, took a deep breath, and focused his attention on the court.

He gives others hope, so he should be that hope!

He looked at the defensive formation of Team USA.

This is completely different from the situation in the warm-up match. At that time, coach K was holding the ball, and Leonard and Butler almost didn't get on the ball. Now both defensive gates are on the court, and it has proved difficult for him to break hard. And trying to pass the ball to his teammates. When both physical and technically do not have the advantage, a slight physical confrontation will make them lose their shooting accuracy.

Team USA has almost no weaknesses!

But it doesn't seem to be exactly.

After looking around, he then looked at Cousins, the inside.

Cousins ​​has become much more calm under the guidance of coach K. Although he didn't touch the ball in a row at the beginning, he kept reminding his teammates to run after falling to the position. From this point alone, he can see that he accepted this style of play.

And a non-irritable Cousins ​​is definitely top-notch.

However, there is a saying that it is easy to change the country and nature but difficult to change. The only thing that can break the current situation is to let Cousins ​​return to his nature.

Having a plan in mind, Tang Shuai looked up at the attack time.

There are 20 seconds left.

He first reached out and signaled his teammates to open up enough offensive space, and then signaled Zhou Qi to pull to the free throw line for pick-and-roll.

Zhou Qi's pick-and-roll quality is far less than Yi Jianlian, but now he is playing in the 5th position on the court. When he pulls out the pick-and-roll, it means that he will pull Cousins ​​out too.

Zhou Qi raised it, and Tang Shuai then dribbled the ball inward, and the pick-and-roll occurred about one step outside the free throw line.

Irving was not completely blocked and rushed towards him from behind. Cousins ​​also rushed forward. Tang Shuai was immediately faced with a situation where there was a blockage in front and a pursuit.

But he did not hesitate at the moment, and changed direction to the right, then accelerated directly into the rush.

This sudden and decisive suddenly. Zhou Qi pulled out and Owen finally chose to change defense.

Shuai Tang won a chance to fight Cousins ​​one-on-one.

He was accelerating with all his might, as if he wanted to get rid of Cousins.

But the closer to the basket, the larger the area of ​​Cousins' defensive coverage, and the whole person was like a dark cloud covering Tang Shuai's head.

However, Tang Shuai didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding it. When he was almost at the basket, he suddenly jumped up and pressed the ball into the basket with both hands, and wanted to dunk Cousins ​​directly!

Everyone at the scene was stunned. Tang Shuai actually wanted to block Cousins ​​on the front?!

Going crazy!

Although in the previous match against Brazil, Shuai Tang dunked Barbosa from the front, but Barbosa and Cousins ​​are not the same concept at all. Who is Cousins? Not to mention his defensive ability, his body shape. In front of Shuai Tang, there is a mountain. Shuai Tang actually wants to dunk across the mountain!

"Are you teasing me?!" Barkley and Smith shouted at the same time in the broadcast room.

Cousins's face changed significantly, and he was locked? This is simply impossible. Tang Shuai clearly looked down on him!

He didn't even stretch out his hand and directly bumped into Tang Shuai's body.

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, the two people collided violently.

The next second, Tang Shuai was knocked back and flew back, and he took several steps in a row and fell to the ground.

Although he has a bus power pack, he still cannot compete with Cousins, one of the strongest active forces. The buckle of sugar water eventually returned in vain.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

The referee did not whistle. Tang Shuai fell to the ground and climbed up from the ground to defend. There was no trace of frustration on his face, but instead he felt a little excited.

The United States played a fast break, and Durant scored a fast break dunk again.

10-0, Team USA continued to widen the score.

"Ah haha, Don is a little overthinking. Has he given up on the game?" Barkley couldn't help laughing.

"Dmarcus is blocked? And it's still the front? It's really a pity that he can think of it!" Smith said sarcastically.

Gong Luming also frowned. He has always supported Tang Shuai's free control of the ball on the court. However, this time, Tang Shuai seemed to have made some choices wrong, but he didn't say anything immediately. After all, the gap between the Chinese team and the American team is too big, so he cannot choose to blame the team's core at this time.

Tang Shuai continued to move forward with the ball, his face calmly, as if the embarrassing scene just now had no effect on her.

He still called Zhou Qi out to pick-and-roll, and then rushed into the inside again.

"Another?" At this moment, Barkley and Smith in the studio looked at each other.

When Tang Shuai faced Cousins, he changed direction, got the jump space, and then jumped, and chose to buckle again!

"This is not the Tang I know. This style of play is really stupid!" Barkley said disappointed. His view of Tang Shuai changed in the second half of the regular season, and he had high expectations for Tang Shuai. Unexpectedly, Tang Shuai's performance at this time made him so disappointed.

"I began to doubt how the Chinese team entered the semi-finals. Even if their opponents are not strong, such strength is obviously not good." Smith echoed.

Cousins's face turned green. When Tang Shuai locked him up for the first time, he was despised, but now it was simply humiliation!

He is the center of the top five in the NBA after all, and Tang Shuai actually chose to dunk him twice!

He gave up the idea of ​​knocking away Tang Shuai, but stretched out his long arms and headed towards Tang Shuai.

Since Tang Shuai humiliated him so much, he didn't mind humiliating him in another way!

"This will be a bloody bomb!" Smith blurted out.

The Chinese fans at the scene exclaimed a burst of surprise. It was already very embarrassing to be knocked away in the previous round. If he was hit like this, let alone Tang Shuai himself, this would definitely be a devastating blow to the morale of the Chinese team.

In the flash, something unexpected happened.

Seeing that Cousins ​​was about to block Tang Shuai, Tang Shuai suddenly changed his two-hand dunk to one-hand dunk, and pulled the ball with his right hand and tilted to the right, and did not obediently to avoid Cousins' blocking hand.

Moreover, because Cousins ​​used all his strength in his hands, when Tang Shuai slashed, the two of them collided again, and he was not knocked away again like before.

"Bang!"

Tang Shuai pressed the ball into the basket with one hand through Cousins.

"You are teasing me!" Barkley shouted in disbelief.

Smith was completely stunned by Barkley's figure. Shuai Tang actually dunked Cousins!

Although it is from the side, the buckle is the buckle, but that is Cousins!

There was a boiling cheer in the entire arena, and Chinese fans' mouths were so wide that they could stuff a big egg.

Some female fans didn't react and said blankly: "Did Tang Shuai block that big black guy?"

"It's Cousins! NBA top five, no, NBA top three center!" The male fan on the side shouted excitedly, his body trembling like what he said.

"Very good!" The female fan screamed excitedly.

The sudden shouts of the female fans did not attract the strange gazes of the people around them. Instead, the cheers went higher with the shouts.

After Cousins ​​landed, he looked at Tang Shuai with anger and pushed Tang Shuai without saying a word.

Tang Shuai hurriedly reached out and retreated, indicating that he had no intention of taking action.

Although he was not afraid of provocation, he was not stupid enough to fight Cousins. Moreover, his continuous attempts to dunk him across the board were to anger Cousins. There was no doubt that he had succeeded.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle rang again.

Cousins ​​was grabbed by Durant who rushed over.

The referee judged Cousins ​​to a technical foul, which would have been escalated to a malicious statute if it weren't for Durant's pull.

Cousins ​​seemed very angry, Durant and Butler surrounded him and persuaded him for a long time before he could calm down.

Tang Shuai pressed his arm and walked to the free throw line. Although he successfully angered Cousins, he was beaten and the price he paid was quite a bit.

Technical fouls were made in one free throw, but after Tang Shuai scored, he also caused Cousins' foul to make a foul. Including the additional penalty, this was equivalent to two free throws.

Tang Shuai took a deep breath and looked up at the basket and shot free throws.

One of two free throws was not particularly good. If he was hit again, it would be good that he could get one free throw.

After the free throw, the Chinese team's sideline ball.

Tang Shuai received the ball and stood back to the three-point line. He glanced at his teammates again. At this time, he could clearly feel that they were no longer frustrated. It was obvious that Tang Shuai's dunk just now not only angered Cousins, but also brought back the morale of the team.

The stroke on the shoulder is absolutely worth it.

He observed the defense and still signaled the pick-and-roll to Zhou Qi. However, unlike the first two rounds, he also made an additional tactical additional action.

Zhou Qi pulled to the free throw line and picked and rolled, and Tang Shuai accelerated and rushed in.

With the lessons learned from the first two goals, this time the US team contracted its defense very quickly, and Irving also let go of Zhou Qi and rushed towards Tang Shuai.

The dunk Tang Shuai just now also had a significant blow to the morale of the US team.

Tang Shuai rushed to the free throw line and was about to jump, but at the moment he was jumping, he suddenly pressed the ball back with his right hand.

This ball came too suddenly, and Tang Shuai was all upward, and he didn't look at people's passing!

Tang Shuai does not have an exclusive pass bag, so of course he cannot do so as he wants, but he believes in Zhou Qi's placement!

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the basketball hit the floor and flew backwards.

The angle of the ball was a bit tilted, but this did not prevent Zhou Qi from receiving the ball. After seeing Tang Shuai making the additional tactical gesture just now, he knew that the ball would be passed.

He moved a step to the right and steadily caught the ball. He looked at the basket and chose to take action.
Chapter completed!
