When Zhou Qi shook Tang's eyes at him, he already knew what to do.

The continuous strong hits greatly increased Cousins' confidence and reduced his vigilance, which gave him a chance.

Before Cousins ​​could reach out to his pistol board, he saw his move slap Zhou Qi on the rebound.

With a "bang", Zhou Qi gave Cousins ​​a big shot!

The fans at the scene gave off an excited cheer. Although Zhou Qi had already impressed them in the previous game, now he actually blocked Cousins ​​of the Dream Team!

"The Bostonians really got a big advantage. They actually found such a treasure with such a low ranking!" Barkley couldn't help but sigh.

This goal made Cousins ​​confused. If Tang Shuai's dunk made him angry before, then this block would make him completely stunned.

He was actually locked up by a Chinese man, and then he was beaten by another man?!

His first Dream Team starter turned out to be the darkest moment of his career!

Cousins ​​was stunned, but Yi Jianlian was not stunned. He squeezed Cousins ​​away and grabbed the defensive rebound, then directly threw his hand to Zhai Xiaochuan at the free throw line. Zhai Xiaochuan was quick-eyed and then gave the ball to Tang Shuai.

After Tang Shuai got the ball, he rushed forward with a quick horse.

Only Irving followed Tang Shuai.

Irving is the only player among the active guards in the league who have exclusive dribbling bags, but defense is not an offense. Being able to get rid of defense through dribbling does not mean that people will not be overwhelmed with dribbling.

The change of directions during the marching made Irving seem unscrupulous on the defensive end. After entering the free throw line, he changed directions and turned around, then jumped up and pressed the ball hard into the basket with one hand.

The dunk in a fast break suddenly exploded.

After scoring this fast break, the Chinese team has already scored 14-16, with only 2 points behind both sides!

There has never been a time in the history of the Sino-US war, and after the opening, the score was able to be so low.

"This is the strongest Chinese team in history! There is no controversy!" Yang Yi praised without hesitation in Tencent's studio.

Coach Lao K finally made personnel adjustments. Although the US team has always been a team that solves problems with offense, he can't stand it anymore by the Chinese team's continuous easy scoring.

Drummond and Conley took the field to replace Cousins ​​and Irving.

This time, the US team's lineup became Drummond, Leonard, Durant, Butler and Conley.

This lineup, except Durant, is full of players with excellent defensive skills.

Gong Luming also made personnel adjustments, and he replaced Yi Jianlian with Zhou Peng.

Team USA's offense, Durant ran and received the ball, but did not get a good offensive opportunity.

Gong Luming's judgment and substitution this time were very timely. The US team put this lineup and it was obvious that the center of the offense was completely focused on Durant. At this time, playing a lineup of one, one, four, and four, can greatly help the defensive rotation.

Take this goal as an example. Leonard made a pick-and-roll for Durant. If Yi Jianlian replaced the defense, he would probably not be able to keep up with the speed, and it would be a small misalignment if he kept up with it. However, after the misalignment, Zhou Peng defended Durant, which was a very successful defense for the Chinese team.

However, for Durant, such a defense is obviously not enough to pose a great threat to him.

After seeing that the Chinese team did not have double-teams, Durant directly chose to play back singles. After pressing Zhou Peng two steps in, he took a step-by-step jump shot.

Zhou Peng's defensive ability is at the top in the country, but the limitations he can put against a top superstar like Durant are very limited.

"Swish!"

Durant's step-down jump shot made a steadily, helping the US team maintain its lead.

In the Chinese team's offense, Tang Shuai invited his teammates to run. He used the pick-and-roll to break into the inside, but soon encountered high-intensity defense. Drummond's defensive ability was a step stronger than Cousins. Coupled with Conley's siege and blocking, he did not get a chance to get a mobile phone in the end.

He asked Zhou Peng to make a pick-and-roll in the right wing three-point line, and then break into the inside, pressing the US team's defense to shrink, and he passed the ball back to Zhou Peng.

Zhou Peng's shooting speed was slow. He was disturbed by Conley when shooting, and finally jumped out of the basket.

Due to the increase in defensive intensity, even if the defense shrinks, Chinese players don’t have much room to take off.

Drummond squeezed away Zhou Qi and grabbed the defensive rebound. The US team launched a fast break. Leonard passed the ball to Butler. Butler threw away Zhao Haoyan and dunked.

Gong Luming quickly called for a pause.

Although they are defensive players, NBA, Butler and Leonard are all All-Star players. Although their offensive abilities are worse than Durant, that is also relatively common.

Moreover, the main reason why the Chinese team can reach the semi-finals is Tang Shuai's strength. One core restrains the opponent's defense and other points can get offensive opportunities. Zhao Haoyan's position is the best explanation, but now the US team has put forward this lineup and is heading straight for the purpose of tying Tang Shuai. The Chinese team is likely to take it away in a wave.

"We play defense with them. We have to clamp Durant's point immediately, but we have to hold the basket. If we keep it for the next few rounds, the opponent should adjust the defense. Believe in yourself and don't give up." Gong Luming spoke very slowly, and he was talking like nonsense.

Tang Shuai nodded at this time. Gong Luming's tactical arrangement was more like a strategic level, but it was indeed the best way to deal with the American team's lineup.

After the timeout, Gong Luming made another personnel adjustment. He replaced Zhao Haoyan with Guo Ailun, and whispered Guo Ailun before he came on the court, telling him not to try adventurous steals.

In the Chinese team's offense, Tang Shuai directly asked his teammates to play singles. The American team replaced this lineup and the defense intensity increased sharply, so it was definitely difficult to get out of tactics. Now the only way to solve the offense is to do it alone.

Butler was still against him. He chose to play back again, but this time he did not choose to take a back shot, but instead chose to make a layup after turning around.

Drummond rushed up to make up for defense, but Tang Shuai took the lead and successfully caused his defensive foul.

Going to the free throw line, this time, two rare free throws were made to help the team keep a close eye on the score.

Conley advanced to the frontcourt for the US team's offense, and Durant ran out to receive the ball, but after receiving the ball, he immediately encountered a double team from the Chinese team. He chose to pass the ball to Butler, who took action before the Chinese team returned to defense.

"Bang!"

Butler's shooting stability was much worse than Durant, even Leonard, and the ball jumped out of the basket.

However, the offensive rebound was taken by Drummond, and he used his strength to squeeze Zhou Qi away and forced a layup.

At this time, I have to say that Zhou Qi's arm span is at an absolute disadvantage. Although his strength is at an absolute disadvantage, his body has become a bow and he is squeezed out of the bottom line, but his palms have disturbed Drummond's attack.

"Bang!"

Drummond's close move came out of the box under Zhou Qi's interference.

Zhai Xiaochuan jumped high and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Chinese team successfully defended a US team attack.

Gong Luming's strategic adjustment played a role.

The Chinese team's attack and Tang Shuai's attack also jumped out of the basket under the interference of Leonard, and both sides did not score in several rounds.

After putting all the focus on defense, the scoring efficiency of both sides has decreased to varying degrees, but in comparison, the US team is much better.

23 to 17, with more than three minutes left in the first quarter, the US team widened the gap to 6 points, and both sides adjusted the lineup.

The Chinese team replaced both Tang Shuai and Zhou Qi to rest, and let Guo Ailun and Yi Jianlian play with substitutes.

On the US side, Durant, Leonard and Butler were also replaced, with Thompson, Green and Love.

This is the most difficult period for the Chinese men's basketball team to spend. There is only one Tang Shuai, and he cannot play all over the game. Without Tang Shuai, the strength of the Chinese team has plummeted.

Tang Shuai was sitting on the sidelines and gasping for breath. He didn't have to think that he would have a lot of playing time in this game, but he was not an iron man. With such a high-intensity confrontation, he could not really play the whole game.

"China team! Come on!"

The audience shouted in unison to cheer for the Chinese team. They also knew that the period when Tang Shuai was away was the most difficult period for the team, and that there was a need for cheering more than ever.

Tang Shuai's fate was still very obvious. The Chinese team's offensive tactics could not be played, and in the end, he could not hand it over to Yi Jianlian to play singles. Yi Jianlian turned around and passed Love, but Drummond directly blocked and flew out of the field.

In terms of strength alone, all-star players such as Yi Jianlian and the United States are not on the same level.

The Chinese team served the sideline ball, Li Gen's three-pointer jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was caught by Drummond.

He is called "Zhuang Shen" by Chinese fans. Not only is he intimidated on the defensive end, but he is also a complete rebounding maniac. Since he was replaced, he has captured both offensive and defensive rebounds and has won as many as 5.

The United States advanced to the frontcourt, Green held the ball at the top of the arc and wore a piece for Thompson. Thompson received the ball outside the three-point line, and his hand hit the United States' first three-pointer in the game.

Even though this Warriors team is in the international arena, they still have a tacit understanding between them.

After Thompson hit this three-pointer, the score on the court became 26-17, and the score was widened to 9 points.

Tang Shuai frowned. The most feared thing about playing against a team like the United States is that it will make a wave of trouble. If it can keep a stalemate, there will still be hope for victory in the final quarter, but if the score is widened in front, it will be really difficult to catch up with the score.

Gong Luming frowned at this time, and held his hand in front of him and dragged his chin to look at the field. The American team's substitute is truly unique in the world. This substitute is an absolute starter in any country. It is really difficult to withstand this wave.

"beep!"

Just when he was in a state of confusion, the referee on the sidelines suddenly blew a whistle.

When he saw the direction where the referee reached out, the cloud of sorrow on Gong Luming's face suddenly dissipated and he laughed.
