Chapter 1353 The mentality of American fans exploded (9/10!)
Drummond executed a free throw, and the scene was still booing.
This time he made one of two free throws, and finally scored a goal.
Seeing Drummond's expression of breathing a long sigh after entering the second free throw, Tang Tian felt distressed for his junior.
Of course, he also had to give Li Chunjiang a thumbs up, whose coaching ability was somewhat unexpected.
In the last attack of the half, Tang Tian brought the ball to the frontcourt and changed the backwards to a buzzer-beating hit.
At the end of the half, the score on the field was frozen at 46-41, and the Chinese team led by 5 points to end the half!
Both team members returned to the locker room to rest, and at this moment, the fans on the hotline were in a panic.
"Three years ago, I could win if I fell behind by 20 points. Now I lead by 5 points in the first half. Tell me loudly, who will be the world champion?!"
"China team!!!"
"By the way, Li Chunjiang's operations before the half-time were really too sensual. Just in this wave of operations, he made Popovich on the opposite side."
"It's a real show. I won Popovich in the way of Popovich. If the Chinese team really wins in the end, Li Chunjiang will become famous in one battle!"
"Don't you think Li Chunjiang is the young version of Popovich of CBA? Whether it is Guangdong or Guangsha, young players can be trained, and they all have the same bad temper, plus this tactical operation."
"Don't say it's really like it. According to your opinion, this is CBA's Popovich who won the NBA's Popovich? Manual dog head"
“o(╥﹏╥)o I didn’t expect that my big cba would also defeat the nba one day.”
...
Chinese fans are so happy that they are so happy.
However, on social media in the United States, the mood of fans is obviously not that good.
"We were actually 5 points behind the Chinese team in half! And Popovich was shown by an unknown coach on the other side before the half!"
"Sure enough, our NBA is known as the world's number one league, but when we arrive at the Fiba, both the players and the coaches are not suitable for the local environment."
"That's right, what's Curry's playing? How many three-pointers have he scored in this World Cup?"
"I know Curry may just feel bad. You know, he was very strong when he was young, but Popovich couldn't change someone?"
"I think Popovich's appearance is really not good. Although he is indeed great, he is really much worse than Old K!"
"Why let Cole go?"
"Forget it, Cole is even worse than Popovich on the spot. I think SerPostella and Carlisle are more suitable."
"And Drummond, what's the point of playing? Is it that difficult to get the ball in?"
"This is lack of practice! If you are not accurate in shooting and free throws, you are lack of practice!"
"After all, our country's inside talents have withered. If you can't fight the ads, no one can beat them. The evil Xiao Hua has destroyed a group of insiders!"
"If you lose this time, Xiao Hua must be responsible!"
"He is in a mental hospital and he is just a big responsibility. It's better to see how he will adjust in the second half. If he loses the World Cup, don't talk about the Dream Team anymore!"
...
He lost the Olympics three years ago, and this time the US Basketball Association sent almost the strongest lineup.
If you really lose, there will be no excuses.
As fans said on social media, the Dream Team may not be suitable to call them anymore.
After returning from halftime, the US team did not adjust its lineup, but their defensive strength on the field has increased significantly.
Judging from Popovich's red face when he came back, he must have gotten angry in the locker room during the intermission.
Under the high-pressure defense of the US team, the Chinese team's tactical cooperation is basically unable to play.
Just like the NBA playoffs that will evolve into superstar singles, when the personal strength is very different, tactics will lose their meaning.
Tang Tian began to switch to personal offensive mode.
The others had done enough in the first half, and it was time for him to stand up.
He stopped and pulled out quickly, turned back and leaned back, made a long three-pointer, and made a continuous dunk in fast attack...
Popovich failed to defend Tang Tian when he was in the Spurs, and the Dream Team also had limited restrictions on Tang Tian.
Tang Tian scored 20 points in this quarter, and at the end of the third quarter, he helped the Chinese team tie the United States to 76.
The tie was tied in three quarters, and both sides returned to the same starting line!
The fans on the scene were nervous and excited.
The nervousness is because both sides draw in the score, and the excitement is because as the game time continues to decrease, the possibility of the Chinese team winning the championship is getting bigger and bigger.
In the fourth quarter, both teams substitute one after another.
Team USA has the lineup on the court, Lillard, Harden, George, Leonard and Turner.
Popovich also began to compress and rotate.
On the Chinese team, Tang Tian was also replaced by Li Chunjiang to rest.
In the third quarter, the Chinese team almost relied on Tang Tian alone to support him. Even if it was a tough game, they were tired after such a super high-intensity game.
However, Li Chunjiang also knew that this substitute connection was very critical, and he had already replaced Ding Yanyuhang and Yi Jianlian in advance in the third quarter.
Now all of them will be replaced.
Wu Qian and Ding Yanyuhang on the outside, Zhou Peng and Yi Jianlian on the front line, and Shen Zijie on the center.
He expanded the rotation lineup in the opposite way he did in the first half.
When I returned to the fourth quarter, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV were extremely nervous.
This section is a section that determines life and death.
The scene where the Spanish team was in poor physical fitness was still vivid in my mind. No one knows what the Chinese team can play. Computer::/
If you fall in the last twenty meters of the 100-meter sprint like the Spanish team, the result will be a victory even though you lose, but it is still psychologically unacceptable.
So that kind of nervousness comes from the bottom of your heart, your hands are unconsciously moving, and your body is shaking slightly.
The Chinese team attacked first, and Ding Yanyuhang held the ball from the outside and played the pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian.
After disassembling it, he thrust his waist inward, and he beat him very firmly.
After two years of training in NBA, he has played so many World Cups, and he knows very well what he wants to do now.
Turner assisted in defense inside, and after the two of them fought, he overturned Ding Yanyuhang to the ground.
The referee blew Turner's defensive foul, and Ding Yanyuhang got two extra penalties.
He fell very hard, but Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng went over and pulled him up as soon as possible. He shook his hand and signaled that it was okay.
After adjusting his breathing, he also scored two free throws, and he helped the Chinese team get the first two points in this quarter.
Popovich called Harden to his side during the pause and gave him a few instructions.
The US team reached the frontcourt, and Harden held the ball and signaled to pull it away, directly playing Ding Yanyuhang alone.
It is obvious that Popovich knew that the main attack point of the Chinese team on the field was Ding Yanyuhang, and both offense and defense were starting to target him.
Ding Yanyuhang struggled to defend Harden, and Harden was instructed by Popovich and kept looking for confrontation with his body, and finally got to the basket and scored the ball.
There was a turmoil on the sidelines, which was obviously a bit bullying.
And when he returned to the defensive end, Ding Yanyuhang broke through again and was double-teamed.
Popovich targets people without any hesitation.
Ding Yanyuhang barely divided the ball into Yi Jian's joint team.
George has already assisted in defense, and Yi Jianlian has no time to take action.
Fortunately, he didn't stop the ball and immediately passed the ball to Zhou Peng's hand in the bottom corner.
There will definitely be a point of giving up when double-teaming, and Zhou Peng is that point.
The reason is very simple. Zhou Peng has never played before, so he has little chance of making a shot from now on.
Zhou Peng chose to take action. Li Chunjiang specifically reminded him before he came on the court and took action decisively if he had the chance.
"Be what a veteran should do."
Li Chunjiang also gave a special reminder.
Zhou Peng's attack speed was not fast, even a little slow, but the American team assisted in defense was far away, and when he rushed over, Zhou Peng had already completed the attack.
Everyone at the scene held their breath, and this ball was very critical.
If Zhou Peng cannot throw the ball in, then the US team's double-teaming against Ding Yanyuhang and Yi Jianlian would be even more crazier.
If the Chinese team is widened in this period or is forced to go to Tang Tian early, the situation is likely to collapse instantly.
"Swish!"
A crisp sound.
Chapter completed!
