Chapter 1429 Tian (gua) easy (bi) combination
Leonard also had extra free throws, and the US team scored 5 points in a row after the opening game.
"Come on! Chinese team!"
The start was unfavorable, and the Chinese fans who arrived took the initiative to cheer for the Chinese team.
However, the US team's defense is imperfect. After being forced to pass the ball by Tang Tian again, Ding Yanyuhang's emergency stop was disturbed by James.
The Chinese team still has no offense!
Durant played again in the frontcourt, and this time he took action to cause Ding Yanyuhang's foul.
Li Chunjiang stood on the sidelines and cursed, but his expression was a little helpless.
The addition of James and Davis has greatly improved the ability of the US team on both offense and defense.
Durant had both free throws against interference.
7 to 0!
The US team gave the Chinese team a warning from the start.
Tang Tian held the ball and advanced forward again. At this time, he changed his offensive method and gave the ball to Ding Yanyuhang, and started running without the ball.
Originally, after touching the players one by one at the beginning, he wanted to use the sudden score to play, but the US team assisted in defense well because the 10% stability brought by "Stone Buddha" did not work.
In other words, except him, everyone else, including Lin Yi, was suppressed in the matchup, and he could only switch from organization to scoring.
He opened up the defensive control to further revitalize the team.
Just like he did last year's World Cup.
The ball that was running out of the position was pulled up against James' emergency stop.
"Swish!"
Basketball enters the net with a sound.
Before the game, his head touching also included self-touching, and Tang Tian's shooting was still as stable as before.
This ball finally helped the Chinese team break the scoring drought on the field.
But looking back, Durant broke through Ding Yanyuhang, broke through Lin Yi and assisted the defense and then gave the ball to Davis at the basket. Davis's hands were still heavy!
The Chinese team faced this American team, which had the feeling that the Japanese team faced the Chinese team before, and it was difficult to limit the American team's offense on the defensive end!
This also became a microcosm of the first quarter.
The US team blossomed more, while the Chinese team relied more on Tang Tian’s personal scores.
Although Tang Tian efficiently scored 13 points in the first quarter and his defense improved in the second half, the Chinese team still lags behind the United States by 10 points 18-28 in the first quarter.
After the first quarter, American fans on social media had already climaxed.
"This is the real gap in strength between the two teams. It is not that the Chinese team plays poorly, but that our dream team is too strong!"
"When Durant, James and Leonard are together, the opponent's offense and defense are always misplaced. This is the horror of this Dream Team!"
"Under the excellent assisted defense rotation, Tang's teammates are no longer magical. The Chinese team is doomed to be a crushing defeat in this game!"
"I still respect Don very much, but the basketball game consists of five people, and we can finally get the Olympic champion we lost before!"
"Although we sent out the strongest lineup, just like LeBron won the Heat, people will only remember the championship in the future, not the process."
"Come on, I can't wait to watch the Olympics play the star-striped flag!"
...
At the beginning of the second quarter, the entire sub-roster on the US team, Irving, Harden, George, Towns, and Drummond.
This rotation makes people feel stressful.
On the Chinese team, Guo Ailun, Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Peng, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi.
The lineups of the two teams seem to be very different, but they are not completely one-sided in the scene.
Two veterans Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng set an example, and the players fought very hard.
However, even if we fight, the score difference is still slightly widened.
By the time the main players were replaced, the Chinese team was already 15 points behind the United States 22-37.
Compared to a year ago, the Chinese team encountered much greater difficulties tonight.
"Kobayashi, let's play the pick-and-roll."
When he was on the stage, Tang Tian pulled Lin Yi and said.
"But the coach just now said that you would fight... OK, play the pick-and-roll."
Lin Yi's reaction was quite fast.
"Bring the ball in."
Tang Tian didn't explain much, and directly made a request to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded quickly.
Davis suppressed him in all aspects except height, and he has no chance to perform since the opening game.
Tang Tian said this to him alone now, and he couldn't ask for it.
After the timeout, the Chinese team's offense was suspended, Tang Tian held the ball on the top of the arc and did not directly attack.
After signaling everyone else to pull it apart, he asked Lin Yi to pull it to the top of the arc to do a pick-and-roll.
After blocking it, he opened it and broke through without any hesitation.
The US team's focus was on Tang Tian, with Davis heading in front and Durant chasing behind, and the two people clamped him in the middle like hamburger meat.
Tang Tian broke through to the free throw line and had no good chance of making a phone call.
However, he didn't want to take action. A passer from behind who didn't look at people, and the ball flew directly to Lin Yi at the top of the arc.
Team USA's assisted defense rotation, James rushed directly toward Lin Yi.
However, Lin Yi was very decisive after receiving the ball, without any hesitation, and took the three-pointer directly.
James' assisted defense, but the height gap made him very limited in interference.
"Swish!"
Lin Yi made the first three-pointer in the game!
Tianyi combination!
"pretty!"
Su Qun of the broadcast seat couldn't help but shout.
The Chinese team scored 5 points in the first quarter, and now it is too much for others to stand up and score.
Tang Tian also gave Lin Yi a thumbs up while retreating.
This three-pointer is very important.
Back at the defensive end, Tang Tian also signaled the team to stand 2-1-2 in the joint defense, and he stood at the free throw line.
James organized the free throw line, and Leonard, who cut the ball into the game in one second.
However, Tang Tian quickly touched the ball with his hands. Although it did not break down, the angle of the ball changed.
Leonard didn't get the ball, but Lin Yi was tall and his arms long, and with the speed he shouldn't have, he grabbed the ball with one handful.
The Tianyi combination made a beautiful attack in front, and this time it made a beautiful defense.
And this is one of the few successful defenses of the Chinese team tonight.
The US team retreated quickly and did not give the Chinese team a chance to fight back.
Tang Tian advanced to the frontcourt, and he still played the same way as before.
Team US still chooses to let Lin Yi and Tang Tian get together.
Lin Yi has a 39% shooting percentage so far in the Olympics, which is already very high for an inside player, especially in Olympic-level events.
But such a hit rate is obviously not enough to kill the game, so the US team's strategy is completely fine.
Tang Tian still chose to pass the ball behind his back.
Lin Yi received the ball again. This time James assisted in defense earlier, and Lin Yi suffered more defensive interference when he took action.
The Chinese fans at the scene were unconsciously nervous when Lin Yi took action.
Whether this ball can be shot is even more critical than the previous one, because it is likely to change the way the US team defends.
Popovich also stared at the basketball flying in the air, and he didn't want to be forced to change his defense style.
"Swish!"
Under the gaze of everyone, basketball once again came into the Internet!
Lin Yi scored two three-pointers in a row!
Tian (gua) Easy (bi) combination!
Chapter completed!
