Lin Ying can guard James, but can he guard Durant?
This actually... has no analogy.
Because Durant's physical fitness is much worse than James, but his offensive skills are much more comprehensive.
But at this time, Lin Yingyi had no hesitation in blocking the hole of the gun, even more determined than when he was with the Suns.
Because he is wearing the national team jersey at this time!
Durant started the offense.
In terms of familiarity, Lin Ying is much more familiar with Durant than Kobe.
So he already knew why Durant likes to attack from the left.
But what he didn't expect was that Durant actually made an unconventional pull-up jump shot from the right!
I predicted your prediction!
Durant is also more familiar with Lin Ying than anyone else!
"Whoa!"
Durant continued his shooting form and scored 7 points in a row to help the US team take the lead!
"Captain America" ​​from the last game appears again!
And after hitting this shot, Durant showed a fierce expression.
Perhaps it was Old K's words "We need you" that made him suddenly realize: winning the championship is the best way to silence those who doubt him!
Team USA was also inspired by Durant's mood.
The talent of this Mengjiu team is definitely not as good as that of the Mengba team, but as long as they have defensive enthusiasm, the defensive pressure they can put on them will not be small.
This time it was Lin Ying's breakthrough after the pick-and-roll that led to Yi Jianlian.
Another good opportunity, but Yi Jianlian hesitated!
The opportunity passed in an instant, and it was too late for the Chinese team to try to use tactics again. Lin Ying reluctantly shot wide at the last moment.
At this time, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the American team.
As a qualified boss, the Dream Team is obviously not easy to defeat.
Durant continues to hold the ball in the frontcourt!
Lin Ying still focused on preventing Durant from breaking through from the left, but this time he positioned himself further back to prevent Durant from going against the rules again.
Durant still went to the right!
Lin Ying saw the right opportunity to press forward, and then Durant hit the center foot and turned around!
Good guy, this 2.08 meter skill is much harder to guard than the 1.98 meter one.
And Lin Ying also understood what Kobe Bryant said: Tracy McGrady is one size older than me, but he can do everything I can do.
Durant, who is two sizes bigger, is even harder to guard against!
However, Lin Ying used all his strength to jump up... and his fingers touched the basketball!
He covered Durant!
Durant is not as fast as Kobe!
Durant showed a surprised look, and after landing, he jumped up to get another basketball.
But... Lin Ying's bullet speed is faster than him!
"Crack!"
Before him, Lin Ying caught the basketball!
This reaction speed is so fast!
Then, a long throw was sent directly to the frontcourt. Chen Jianghua was flying like lightning. After receiving the ball, he flew for a layup and scored two more points!
Durant was suppressed!
Although he is also a training fanatic, with Grover as his strongest assistant, Lin Ying has improved even more than Durant!
"A-Lian, believe in yourself."
After returning to half court, Lin Ying looked at Yi Jianlian and said.
The so-called progress is achieved in the game, and you can never make progress by just talking and not doing anything.
Yi Jianlian was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Lin Ying's current strength is completely beyond his understanding, and what he said is definitely correct!
Chen Jianghua and Yao Ming broke through after a pick-and-roll, and the ball went to Yi Jianlian again.
Yi Jianlian's move this time was obviously much more decisive.
And judging from the consistency of his shots, he really put a lot of effort into shooting in the second half of last season with the Nets.
The basketball drew a beautiful parabola in the air.
Lin Ying had already started to retreat in advance.
"Whoa!"
With a crisp sound, Yi Jianlian hit a three-pointer!
Sure enough, if you believe in yourself, you can do it!
7 to 9!
The Chinese team overtook the score again!
The American team served quickly from the backcourt and tried to hit the ball quickly, but Rose's rapid advancement continued to be blocked by Lin Ying.
This wave of early retreat is essential.
Both sides fell into positions again.
Durant stopped catching the ball at this time.
Continuous singles play consumes a lot of physical energy, and he needs to rest for a while now.
Rose and Odom drove to the basket after a pick-and-roll.
In this World Championships, he really couldn't throw from outside, so he could only hit the basket.
But no matter how fast he was, he still couldn't escape Yao Ming's Wuzhishan.
After a block, the ball flew directly out of the court.
The Chinese team must rise again!
The game entered a dead ball, and there were rotations on both sides of the court.
On the Chinese team, Zhu Fangyu came on to replace Chen Jianghua, and on the American team, there were more rotations, with Westbrook, Curry, Gay on, Rose, Billups and Iguodala on the bench.
The dream team’s deep rotation method is here.
Team USA’s frontline kick!
Westbrook received the ball from the outside and made a three-pointer.
"Dang!"
Smash the basket and get out!
Yao Ming protects the defensive rebound.
The U.S. team has just changed and has enough physical strength to retreat quickly.
The two sides moved to the frontcourt position again.
Lin Ying gestured with the ball at the top of the arc, then lobbed the ball inside.
The same tactics, but the situation is obviously different.
Because Yi Jianlian not only took the three-pointer decisively but also made it, which made Durant on the strong side dare not shrink casually.
Coupled with Lin Ying's position at the top of the key, this is a bit like a triangle offense.
Of course, it was impossible for the US team not to help defend, so Westbrook quickly rushed to the basket.
Yao Ming turned around and shot with a hook!
This kind of defensive intensity is of no use to him!
A piece of hot knowledge, Yao Ming's attack speed at the basket is very fast.
Odom's block was almost a second late.
His defensive awareness and judgment are one level behind Chandler.
Especially if he is asked to guard against Yao Ming, even Yao Ming who has lost weight is too difficult for him.
"Whoa!"
Yao Ming's hook hit steadily!
Durant, continue to rest.
However, this time the American team ran a very beautiful strategy. After Curry split the ball, he went to the corner and got a big open opportunity.
But Westbrook didn't pass it!
It's not that he meant it, but after Zhu Fangyu came on, the average height of the Chinese team on the field exceeded 2.05 meters!
The impact of this height on the passing vision is no less than that of a team like Lithuania!
In the end, Westbrook took the ball and drove to the basket, taking another hit from Yao Ming.
fiba competition, a nightmare for pure breakthrough players!
During the transition between offense and defense, Lin Ying continued to hang the ball in Yao Ming's hands.
In this period, Lin Ying focused on defending Durant and did not attack with the ball much on the offensive end. In addition, except for Yao Ming, the Chinese team has a stable three-point ability. This period is a bit like one star shooting four times.
.
So it's another one-on-one matchup between Yao Ming and Odom.
Yao Ming also hit harder this time than before, turning around and squeezing away Odom's one-handed dunk!
And after dunking, Yao Ming showed a fierce expression, and then turned to look at Old K on the bench.
That expression seemed to say: Are you sure you want Odom to continue to guard against him like this?
7 to 13.
The Chinese team has once again opened the point difference to 6 points!
Old K was forced to replace Odom with Chandler.
But the worse performance for the Mengjiu team came from the offensive end.
Durant asked for the ball, but Westbrook didn't give it to him. He made a sudden point pass to Gay, but Gay's mid-range shot still missed!
It seems like no one on this Dream Nine team can score except Durant!
In turn, Lin Ying continued to lob the ball to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming turned around and made a shot that caused Chandler's hitter to foul.
With Mengjiu's inside configuration, Yao Ming is completely killing one on one!
The on-site cameras showed footage of Durant.
Durant is shaking his head!
There is no harm without comparison. During this period, the American team was stunned but no one could step forward to help Durant.
But on the Chinese team, next to Lin Ying, there is Yao Ming!
Sorry, I brought a helper!
Durant had had enough rest and asked Westbrook from outside the three-point line.
Westbrook gave it this time.
Durant made another breakthrough by changing his direction to the right. He was going against the rules with Lin Ying today!
Lin Ying followed suit completely, but Durant finally made a hard pull, and Lin Ying struggled to interfere.
"Whoa!"
But Durant still made the shot!
It's not that Lin Ying's defense has become weaker, but that Durant's size is indeed too big!
This is why Allen is the best person to guard Durant, because he is not preventing Durant from shooting, but restricting him from catching the ball, and then using his speed to cut the ball when Durant shoots.
Lin Ying is now moving to a small forward, but he hasn't even started losing weight yet, so his speed is definitely not as good as Allen's.
9 to 13.
All of Team USA’s points came from Durant!
It’s really just one person’s battle!
The Chinese team advanced to the frontcourt and continued to prepare to play inside. At this time, Chandler could only go around.
If he doesn't go around, Yao Ming will directly penetrate the inside line of the US team.
Lin Ying saw it and threw the ball directly over the basket.
The difference after Yao Ming lost weight was reflected. Yao Ming quickly turned around and ran to the basket, jumped up and grabbed the ball, and then quickly put the basket up and scored.
In fact, Yao Ming is not afraid of going around before gaining weight!
9 to 15!
Yao Ming is invincible in the paint!
Moreover, at this point in the fight, it is more appropriate to say that it is restrained rather than targeted.
Originally, when Mengba played against China, they were excellent at every position except the center. The Chinese team needed a lot of defensive assistance to limit their performance at multiple points, so it was easy to focus on one thing at the expense of the other, and the defense was riddled with holes.
But now the strength gap is not that big. If we can barely defend one on one, the entire defensive formation can be stable.
In addition, after Yi Jianlian switched to 3D, the Chinese team's sense of space was too strong, which directly amplified Yao Ming's inside advantage, and Lin Ying didn't even have to attack anymore.
But this is just the stage. In Dream Team games, even if it's a slightly stronger team, the game is often evenly matched with others in the first quarter.
After all, no matter how good you are, there is only one basketball, and you have a lot of physical energy in the opening game and a high defensive intensity.
What's more critical is the transition period between substitutes. The depth of the Dream Team's lineup can directly open the score during this period.
Therefore, Old K frowned after falling behind at the start, but it was not that he panicked.
Eight minutes into the first quarter, the score on the field was 11 to 19.
To the great relief of the Dream Team, Yao Ming finally took a break!
No matter how strong Yao Ming is, he can't always stay on the court.
At this time, the lineup on both sides, the American team: Westbrook, Eric Gordon, Granger, Gay, Odom;
Chinese team: Chen Jianghua, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi, Lin Ying.
Pay attention to the position on the field. The person playing the fifth position is not Wang Zhizhi, but Lin Ying!
Yunus’ brain circuit is quite correct!
The lack of a substitute for Yao Ming has always been the biggest drawback of the Chinese team.
As soon as Yao Ming comes on the court, it is normal for the Chinese team's interior defense to collapse.
But now that you, old K, can use Odom to play the fifth position, why can’t I use Lin Ying to play the fifth position?!
Lin Ying has gained weight in the past two years and mainly plays the fourth position in the NBA. This matchup is very reasonable!
Yunus was so targeted, but the American team didn't seem to react on the field.
Westbrook took the ball and knocked away Chen Jianghua, directly hitting the basket.
The presence of Yao Ming held him back for too long.
As a result, as soon as he reached the inside line, Lin Ying came up to help defend, and the two of them directly confronted each other, and he hit the south wall.
"Crack!"
Lin Ying was not polite and accepted the shot with a smile.
"Kevin, your second brother knows how to be a good person!"
Westbrook set a good example, but everyone in the U.S. team, who was waiting for Yao Ming to come off the court and attack the Chinese team's inside line, could only hold back and shoot from the outside.
Old K was anxious now.
But it was useless for him to be anxious, because the Chinese team reacted quickly and saw that the American team still couldn't get to the basket and the defense was greatly expanded.
Not to mention cumming now, all I can do is rub around outside!
The Chinese team also continued to widen the points difference in these two minutes.
After the first quarter, the score was 15-25!
The Chinese team led the US team by 10 points in a single quarter!
This is even after Durant scored 11 points in a single quarter!
Then what made Durant feel the most uncomfortable was that when the cheerleading team was performing on the field, the eyes of the members of the US team would look there from time to time.
Although that is indeed sexy, you guys should separate the occasion!
Thinking about it, Durant also withdrew his gaze.
As soon as the second quarter started, Old K had to replace Durant again.
This is not a question of whether to fuck Durant or not, it is really impossible without Durant.
But in fact, it can be clearly seen in the first quarter that unless all the super giants come, the American team is really no match for this peak Chinese team.
The American team performed better in the second quarter, but after halftime, they still trailed the Chinese team by 15 points, 34 to 49!
This scene is very similar to the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup in history, where the Dream Team was pinned to the ground and rubbed in various ways.
The game isn't over yet, but the fans in North America are already in a frenzy.
This is no longer a question of whether we can win the championship, it is a matter of being completely defeated!
Of course, most American fans will not recognize the strength of the Chinese team, and few are even watching the live broadcast of this game.
Driven by a group of James fans, the current trend on social media there is: Look, Durant is not even a bit better than James, and his team was beaten by the Chinese team! At this level, he dares to complain about James on a trumpet!
The U.S. Basketball Association doesn't pay attention to things like world championships, and American fans don't care even less. Compared with that, the reputation of being a fan of stars is obviously more important!
Moreover, this game has only been played for half of the game. I can’t imagine what it would be like if the Dream Team really lost.
…
Returning to the second half, the American team played more actively than in the first half, which allowed them to do better on the defensive end, while the Chinese team scored slower.
But on the offensive end, they really couldn't open up.
Fiba's failure to defend for three seconds can really strangle someone to death.
Look at why the American team in the 2019 World Cup was so bad, it was because they couldn't make any shots from outside!
And more importantly, Yunus' defense is really expanded. Anyway, with Yao Ming and Lin Ying under the basket, he doesn't panic at all.
The score on the court has been hovering around 15 points.
The closest time was when Durant broke out again at the end of the fourth quarter to chase the score to single digits.
However, others still couldn't give Durant support.
There is not much time left for Team USA!
In the last 30 seconds, the Chinese team was still leading by 8 points, and after Durant missed a three-pointer, Old K finally gave up.
The moment both sides took to the bench, domestic fans were already excited.
"Huo Yuanjia, why are you the number one in Jinmen?"
"What do you think?"
"Today! Today is the day!"
…
Chapter completed!
