After more than three minutes in the second quarter, the Chinese team still led the lead and expanded its lead!

32 to 28, although the score difference only changed from 2 points to 4 points, it is different in the meaning.

The most confident substitute connection between the US team is, the Chinese team not only survived, but also gained an advantage!

This is completely different on the psychological level.

After the main players returned, the Chinese team also boosted their morale.

With two minutes left to the end of the second quarter, the score on the field was 38 to 36, with the Chinese team leading the way.

Durant broke through the basket and scored two points with a big lane, helping the US team tie the score.

But looking back, Tang Tian scored two points after breaking through to double-team.

This two-pointer helped him increase his personal half-time data to 15 points, and also helped the Chinese team take the lead again!

Although Durant is in excellent condition, Tang Tian also began to exert his strength.

Moreover, because both sides have already reached the fouls in this quarter, they dare not take action easily on the defensive end.

Durant scored a sudden score of Leonard and scored two points, and the United States tied the score again.

Li Chunjiang called a timeout at this time, and there was less than a minute before the end of the half.

After returning from this timeout, the Chinese team made an unexpected substitution. Kolanbek, who had not appeared before, was replaced.

No one understood it, including Popovich.

He even turned his head in confusion and looked at the Chinese coach next door who was abominable half-scene, not knowing what this coach was doing.

The game on the court continued. Tang Tian suddenly scored Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian was about to slap it. This time Drummond reached out to block the block but failed to block it, and was called a foul.

Yi Jianlian went directly to the free throw line.

He shook his arms and had both free throws after adjustment.

The Chinese team overtakes the score again!

The game on the court was particularly intense.

The stalemate situation cannot be changed. At this time, whoever can lead the way to end the half will have the advantage.

Durant served at the bottom line, and the Chinese team pressed against the United States at this time. Curry and Leonard were double-teamed by two people, and Thompson was also stared at by Tang Tian.

At this time, only Drummond was unguarded, and he quickly returned to the halftime to receive the ball.

Durant also successfully sent the ball to him.

However, before Drummond passed the ball to the other person, Kolanbek rushed forward and directly fouled him.

The referee blew a foul on the Chinese team and Drummond got two free throws.

Until then, everyone understood.

Li Chunjiang is going to use the shark chopping tactic at this time!

And it's quite professional!

There are many differences between the rules of the game in fiba and the NBA, one of which is the regulation of fouls against players without the ball.

In the NBA rules, before the new rules, as long as the number of fouls in a single quarter has arrived, whoever is fouled will be sent to the free throw line.

This is the famous shark-cutting tactic, invented by former Mavericks coach Nelson and developed by Popovich.

Later, the NBA issued new regulations, stipulating that sharks cannot be chopped in the last two minutes, otherwise they will be called technical foul.

In other words, if you want to chop sharks in NBA, you can only cut the first ten minutes of each chorus.

However, there are no such regulations in the fiba game, and it can even be said that there are no clear regulations.

The referee's judgment criteria are based on this: According to the spirit of the rules of fiba, as a defensive party, you must actively steal the ball, the purpose is to compete for the ball rights, or defend the player's breakthrough, and the defense against the unseasoned team is to prevent him from catching the ball, or steal when the ball is about to reach his hands.

But if the ball doesn't come to him at all, he is in the unballed area, and in order to stop time and to let him go to free throws, according to the spirit of the rules of fiba, although your movements may be slight, you must directly punish the offender.

In simple terms, fiba does not allow fouls against no-ball players, otherwise they will be called for a violation.

So Li Chunjiang's professionalism came out.

He forced the US team to pass the ball to Drummond and then fouled.

At this time, the foul is fouled on the player with the ball, and you will not be called a foul.

In fact, when Drummond missed three consecutive free throws at the beginning of the first quarter, he already had an idea.

Then until the scores in this quarter were stalemate, after careful consideration, he finally put his ideas into practice.

But at this time Popovich's expression was a bit wonderful.

He is the one who has carried forward the shark-cutting tactics. He used shark-cutting tactics to celebrate the opponent's birthday in 5 seconds, and was talked about by fans.

Now Li Chunjiang has used this tactic to him!

He really has three words in his mind now: You He Xiu?

Fiba's rules are to encourage confrontation. This practice of catching loopholes may be explicitly modified in the future, but at least this time Li Chunjiang succeeded.

Drummond went to the free throw line and booed the scene.

Drummond made two free throws, but failed to hit!

His free throw shooting percentage has been only a pitiful 44% in his NBA career, not to mention that the Fiba game is more intense and his physical fitness consumes more games.

Yi Jianlian protected the defensive rebound, and the Chinese team's shark-cutting tactic was perfectly successful this time.

Popovich's expression was rare and exciting. In the past, he was the only one who cut off others in NBA, but he didn't expect that he was cut off by fiba.

Feng Shui takes turns, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later when you come out.

However, he did not replace Drummond, but signaled to send the ball to the other people on the sidelines.

Team USA also has to rely on Drummond's defense.

The weakest thing about this American team is the inside, or the American team is now in decline, and most of the All-Star inside players are international players.

Davis was injured and Jordan Jr.'s ability declined significantly. Now only Drummond and Turner can be used, while Drummond is the one who can really work.

Tang Tian showed his personal ability in the Chinese team's position attack, and turned around and fell backwards in the double team.

44 to 40, the Chinese team widened the gap to 4 points!

Team USA's backcourt ball, this time the person serving became Curry.

Durant and Leonard have a ball-free running tactic on the court.

It is obvious that the US team has practiced the line ball tactics.

However, the ball was still not handed to the other people.

It's very simple. The Chinese team doesn't care about Curry who serves or Drummond. They just defend 5 and 3 on the court.

No matter how powerful Durant and the others are, it is difficult to catch the ball with two people.

And even if he could catch it, Curry would not dare to risk being stolen.

At this time, there was not much time left before the end of the half, and Popovich did not call for a timeout.

As a result, Curry was forced to send the ball to Drummond.

Then Kolanbek, the little clever ghost, rushed up and made another foul.

The referee also gave ordinary fouls just like before.

Drummond, go to the free throw line again!

At this moment, the whistle and cheers burst out on the scene.
Chapter completed!
