Chapter 26 Team China vs Team USA!

Since the so-called dream team was beaten into a sleepwalking team at the 202002 Indianapolis World Championships, the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2006 Japan World Championships, the US Basketball Association learned from its mistakes and decided to send the most elite lineup to play.

So in 2008, Kobe joined the team and led elite brothers such as James Wade and Howard to regain their old mountains and rivers. Finally, the Dream Team regained their face.

At this World Championships, the American men's basketball team originally hoped to continue the glory of 2008 and once again gathered a luxurious lineup, but the elites led by Kobe were collectively not interested.

As a result, the American Basketball Association screamed and did not call any member of the 2008 championship lineup.

In desperation, the chief manager Colangiro had to start again and assemble the new American men's basketball team.

The participants included Billups, Westbrook, Curry, Ross, Gordon Jr., Iguodala, Granger, Odom, Guy, Durant, Chandler, Love and others.

Zhou Mubai is now in the NBA, so a strange scene appeared when the Chinese team entered the court. The stars of the American team came to greet Zhou Mubai.

Before this, only members of other national teams asked these old men to say hello and shake hands. When they arrived at the Chinese team, they took the initiative to come to Zhou Mubai to shake hands.

Especially Stephen Curry, holding Zhou Mubai's hand, he refused to let go, and he was talking nonsense that you were my role model. I wanted to learn from you and other things, which made Zhou Mubai a little impatient. He felt that this person in the same year not only looked like a child, but also looked like a little brother.

Chandler naturally needs no more. Zhou Mubai is his boss after all. Seeing Zhou Mubai coming over to ask about his well-being, he saw that Zhou Mubai was a little impatient, so he quickly dragged Curry away.

There are many spectators in the match between the Chinese team and the US team. Of course, the presence of the US team is already a guarantee of box office. This time, the Chinese team has contributed some strength. After all, none of the US team stars have a star of Zhou Mubai's level, and even Durant is not good. Although Durant is Zhou Mubai's senior, Zhou Mubai's double MVP is incomparable to Durant.

The competition begins.

Team USA starting lineup: Ross, Billups, Durant, Iguodala, Odom.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team: Zhou Mubai, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi.

Yi Jianlian and Odom jumped the ball, Yi Jianlian took the lead in transferring the ball to Zhou Mubai. Zhou Mubai quickly passed the frontcourt, and Rose came to face Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Mubai advanced to the frontcourt, glanced at him and couldn't help but smile on his face - Team USA was indeed using man-to-man defense.

The US team is all NBA players, and there are very few NBA team defenses in NBA. And with these NBA stars with strong individual abilities, they don’t need to use joint defense to deal with their opponents, so from the group stage to the present, the US team has been defending by people-to-people.

This made Zhou Mubai feel a little familiar. He played in the NBA for a season and was really more familiar with people-to-people. He was actually just a little contact with the fiba system. Although there is no problem with his adaptability, it is certainly better to play if he is more familiar.

Zhou Mubai waved his hand and let everyone go, making room for Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Mubai looked at Ross with a smile. Ross is an offensive expert, but his defense is still a little worse than other defenses. Zhou Mubai gave you Ross' center of gravity with a scissors, and then dribble behind the ball to change direction and broke through Ross' side.

Odom quickly let go of Wang Zhizhi, who was in the bottom corner, and returned to the basket. Zhou Mubai was waiting for this moment and threw the ball to the bottom corner. Wang Zhizhi took a decisive move with three-pointer.

Wang Zhizhi has a very good mentality. Firstly, he is a veteran after all, and secondly, because he also thinks he will lose tonight, he can just fight happily.

The Chinese team scored first with a three-pointer.

A keen person noticed that the Chinese team ran back as soon as Wang Zhizhi took the move, and didn't care about rebounding at all.

This is Zhou Mubai's idea. He believes that because the US team has excellent physical fitness, as long as they can play fast attacks, it will be basically difficult to curb, so the Chinese team simply gave up the frontcourt rebounds. Anyway, it's enough to just throw it away and force the US team to get off the position and slowly grind it.

Ross dribbled quickly through the half-court, and the Bulls were in the East. He played against Zhou Mubai several times last season. He knew that he could not break through Zhou Mubai with his ability, so he simply gave the ball to Billups. When he got off the position, Billups' organization was better. Although Ross was a point guard, he was actually a double-purpose guard and was more inclined to play shooting guard.

Billups instructed Odom to mention the free throw line, which is a classic breaking of the joint defense. The US team has also learned its lesson. In the past, they were in a hurry when they encountered joint defense. They have not won the World Championships for so many years because superstars look down on the World Championships and are not very adapted to this fiba system.

The American team led by Shashevsky this time will naturally not stick to fighting alone. Oh, Shashevsky is the so-called old coach.

In his 30th year of coaching, coach K led Duke University to win the NCAA championship for the fourth time in history. This time, he led the team to participate in the Turkey World Championships, and also wanted to continue the glory of the 2008 Olympics.

Letting the tall man lift the free throw line to hold the ball is indeed a classic way to break the league defense. When Odom mentioned this, the Chinese team had to shrink. Odom immediately saw Durant cutting into the empty space from the baseline. He dunked the ball. Durant received the ball under the basket, and no one could resist it. He dunked it directly.

This is the terrible thing about Team USA. As long as they let go of their arrogance, they can still play with joint defense. Under their unparalleled physical fitness, what kind of opponents can stop them?

Zhou Mubai was not surprised by this and directly took the ball and advanced. He found that the US team had changed its defense, and the person who took over was Iguodala. Among the American players present, the one who was most suitable to defend Zhou Mubai was naturally this Iguodala.

Iguodala is the most suitable person to defend Zhou Mubai in terms of height, weight and speed, but Zhou Mubai doesn't care, so he still lets his teammates open up space.

To be honest, in one-on-one situation, he actually doesn't need anyone to help him pick-and-roll. The reason why he wants pick-and-roll is just to mobilize his teammates, not that he has no way to break through the defensive vanguard.

Today is the Chinese team facing the United States, which is the most powerful opponent the Chinese team has encountered. To put it too exaggeratedly, as long as the Chinese team can surpass the United States, the Chinese team may even top the World Championships this year!
