Chapter 420 China Men's Basketball Team vs. American Men's Basketball Team
On the American men's basketball team, the player responsible for defending Wang Feng is also an old rival, Paul George. Apart from Green, he has the strongest perimeter defensive ability among the entire American men's basketball team.
Before Green came on the court, the burden of defending Wang Feng fell solely on George.
The starting players of both sides came on the field at the same time, Zhou Qi and Big Eyebrow jumped the ball.
Although the strength of the two is very different, when it comes to physical talent, Zhou Qi is not without merit.
With a height of 2.17 meters, Zhou Qi still outperformed the 2.08-meter thick eyebrow brother in fighting for the ball, and successfully moved the ball to his own side.
After Guo Ailun received the basketball, he quickly advanced through the half court and passed the ball to Wang Feng in advance before he could stand on the outside.
Wang Feng stood at a 45-degree angle on the right, looking around the entire audience in an instant, and he came to a conclusion in his mind.
"It seems that the defensive strategy of the American men's basketball team is to prevent other players of the Chinese men's basketball team, and then use one-on-one marking on me to limit the scoring as much as possible?"
Obviously, the American men's basketball team has carefully watched the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the past few games.
As the world's top men's basketball national team, the American men's basketball team not only has powerful and formidable players, but also has the most professional coaching staff in the world. If necessary, they can even assign five video analysts to analyze a team at the same time.
All the playing characteristics and habits of the team's five main starting players.
In this Olympic Games, the improvement of the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team will inevitably not escape the eyes of the American men's basketball coaching staff.
They may not be able to understand why the Chinese men's basketball team, which was originally only competitive in Asia and only at the bottom of the international stage, suddenly improved its overall strength to a higher level at the same time.
But the previous games can definitely lead them to a conclusion.
You must not strictly guard against Wang Feng and double-team him, as that will relax the surveillance on other players of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Wang Feng always has a way to pass the ball out under double teams and hand it to open players, and these open players often have a high shooting percentage!
Sitting on the bench of the U.S. men's basketball team is the legendary NBA coach Gregg Popovich. He is as cunning as an old fox and knows exactly how to deal with this kind of opponent.
If Wang Feng can score under the full coverage of George, Green and others, then let him go, but if Wang Feng wants to rely on his own offense to attract firepower and activate the entire team's offense, that is absolutely impossible!
…
"The abacus is pretty good..."
From the corner of his eye, Wang Feng glanced at Popovich, who was sitting on the sidelines, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
"In that case, then I will do as you wish."
George Tongkong, who was staring at Wang Feng with all his attention, suddenly shrank suddenly.
"Coming!"
In his sight, Wang Feng's dribbling movement paused slightly, and the next moment his speed suddenly increased, and he broke through quickly to the right!
In order to prevent Wang Feng from making sudden moves from the outside, George's defensive position was relatively high. Even if he immediately adjusted his steps and moved sideways to stop Wang Feng, it was still too late.
In the first step, the master badge was activated instantly. Wang Feng was as fast as thunder. He passed George in one step and rushed straight towards the American men's basketball basket.
Seeing this, Davis, the thick-browed brother guarding the basket, immediately let go of Zhou Qi next to him and took the initiative to step forward to help defend.
Although the American men's basketball team must implement a one-on-one defense strategy, it does not really leave it to George alone. When seeing such a breakthrough with the ball and hitting the basket, the inside players still need to provide regular cover defense.
some.
Facing the quick-reacting thick-browed brother Davis, Wang Feng did not choose to directly take off for a head-on confrontation. Instead, he stopped suddenly and took advantage of the situation to take a shot.
Wang Feng's position when he shot was about one step inside the free throw line. Brother Nongmei was just one step away from catching him. When Wang Feng's basketball shot flew towards the basket, Brother Nongmei rushed over with just one second.
Wang Feng’s distance control is simply perfect!
"brush!"
Basketball brushes the net into the frame.
2:0.
For mid-range shooting, Wang Feng's current ability value is 99, which is as accurate as three-pointers. Not only that, Wang Feng's shooting ability after dribbling has also been enhanced to 99. When the two are combined,
Unless the opponent's defense is completely in place, his shooting percentage will be terrible and stable!
United States men's basketball rights.
Popovich on the sidelines couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Is this actually the arrangement..."
The Chinese men's basketball team did not use the most common regional defense in international leagues, but conducted one-on-one defense. The only exception was Wang Feng. As a small forward, Wang Feng did not mark the perimeter, but stayed alone.
He was the only one under the basket, and even Ah Lian and Zhou Qi followed him to the outside to defend.
Anyone can see that the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team intends to let Wang Feng be the team's last line of defense to do the work that should be undertaken by a blue-collar center.
Standing under the basket with a height of 2.01 meters is not considered tall, but when they saw Wang Feng's tall figure standing under the basket, the hearts of Chinese fans were touched.
Suddenly, they seemed to see the tall No. 13 who accompanied most people throughout their youth memories.
"Wang Feng is guarding the basket all by himself, and he's flying straight ahead!"
In the CCTV sports studio, Director Yu couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. "The courage of the first basketball player in Asia, the first player in the NBA, and even the first basketball player in the world!"
On the court, after a brief pause of a few seconds, several players of the American men's basketball team looked at each other.
They all already understand the defensive strategy of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The four players with weak defensive abilities are responsible for outside defense. Their main job is to prevent them from easily shooting three-pointers in open spaces. If they are passed by with the ball on the outside, let Wang Feng handle it!
No one will question whether Wang Feng can shoulder this important task.
However, manpower will eventually be limited. No matter how strong Wang Feng is, he still has a fatal flaw, and that is his height!
With a height of 2.01 meters, no matter how strong he is, his defensive ability in the interior is still flawed.
Without thinking, Lillard immediately transferred the ball to Davis, the thick-browed brother who had already taken a position inside.
After receiving the pass, the thick-browed brother leaned against Wang Feng and couldn't help but snorted in his heart.
Do you really think you can do anything?
With his back leaning against Wang Feng, Brother Nongmei squeezed in twice. Wang Feng's strength was as high as 88, which was almost the same as Brother Nongmei, so the effect was not good.
But Brother Nongmei had already been mentally prepared. He turned around and came to the basket in one step. He grabbed the basketball with both hands and was about to perform a two-handed dunk that could reach the top of the mountain!
At this moment, Wang Feng rushed out from one side, jumped up high, and violently collided with Brother Nongmei. The latter only felt a huge force coming in, and suddenly lost his balance in the air and was hit with the ball.
Slap him to the ground!
"squeak--!"
The whistle sounded immediately and Wang Feng committed a defensive foul.
However, Wang Feng, who stood firmly, was not moved at all, looking down at Brother Nongmei.
"Do you think I will be afraid? Haha, come back if you have the ability, I will accompany you to the end!"
Wang Feng knew very well that in this game, he had to give everything he had in order to get the slightest chance of winning. Instead of thinking too much and being timid, it was better to let go of everything and just do it!
This foul can be regarded as a letter of challenge from Wang Feng to the players of the American men's basketball team. He is serious.
Wang Feng's foul was not a light one at all. The thick-browed brother fell so badly that he stood up and missed both free throws.
After Ah Lian protected the rebound, he passed the ball directly to Wang Feng. The latter quickly advanced through the half court with the ball, without even pausing, and quickly broke through with the ball in disguise.
This time, George barely kept up with Wang Feng and pestered Wang Feng to get to the basket, but the strength gap meant that he failed to block Wang Feng successfully.
Almost carrying George on his back, Wang Feng took off directly and scored with a one-armed dunk. At the same time, he caused George a defensive foul and made an extra free throw, 5:0.
When the American men's basketball team attacks, the basketball is still handed over to the thick-browed brother who has a height advantage in the paint.
It was still a post-up singles game. With Wang Feng's back, Brother Nongmei turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper. Later, he was interfered by Wang Feng and missed the frame.
Zhou Qi protected the rebound and threw it towards the frontcourt. At the same time, Wang Feng, who had just finished defending Brother Big Eyebrow, was already rushing towards the frontcourt!
George and Lillard tried to encircle and block Wang Feng, but Wang Feng used his strength advantage to force him away. Then he stopped one step away from the three-point line and made an emergency jump shot, and hit another three-pointer.
8:0!
Popovich directly called a timeout.
The Chinese fans are going crazy.
A dream start!
They never dreamed that Wang Feng could be so ruthless, completely dominating both offense and defense, and single-handedly beat the American men's basketball team 8:0.
Paul George, who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team many times, was completely unable to form an effective defense against Wang Feng. The thick-browed brother twice tried to rely on his height advantage to single out Wang Feng in the paint, but both failed.
"Brother Feng NB!"
"It's really too strong!"
"Are there any basketball players in the universe who can stop Wang Feng?"
"Come on, just work together to win the game and win the gold medal!"
…
"call--!"
Wang Feng, who was sitting in the audience, let out a long breath.
Just five rounds, but it consumed a lot of his physical energy.
Every attack he makes is an ultra-fast breakthrough at extreme speed coupled with physical confrontation, giving the opponent an opportunity to be caught off guard.
Being able to take advantage of the fact that the American men's basketball team can't react quickly enough to suddenly use a cold arrow to grab a few points and expend some extra energy is totally worth it.
But this situation cannot continue.
After the timeout, the American men's basketball team quickly regained its form. Durant, Lillard, Irving and others on the outside began to rely on their individual abilities to score.
Although Wang Feng's purple Hall of Fame level defensive core badge has improved the defensive values of the Huaguo men's basketball players, the gap in strength between the two sides is still too big.
The only good news is that because Wang Feng is guarding the basket, the American men's basketball team has not used the ball to break through and attack the basket. It is more of a mid-to-long-range shooting attack. This has somewhat affected the offensive efficiency of the American men's basketball team. After all,
The defensive attitude of the Chinese men's basketball team from the outside is to focus on defending against shots.
The 10-minute first quarter ended quickly. The score between the two teams was 24:23. The Chinese men’s basketball team maintained a weak lead of 1 point. It was much worse than the 8:0 dream start at the beginning, but
It's enough to satisfy the Chinese men's basketball team.
If the gap was not widened in the first quarter, then there is still hope for the game to continue.
In the second half of the first quarter, the American men's basketball team replaced Draymond Green, who was responsible for guarding Wang Feng throughout the game.
Unlike George's defense, Green's defensive pressure is stronger, or his aggressive defense with a large range of movements is very effective for anyone.
Green, who came on the bench, did not need to consider the limit on the number of fouls and treated Wang Feng's defensive actions very roughly.
Wang Feng had long been accustomed to this kind of situation when he was playing in the NBA and would not be particularly affected by it. However, it is an indisputable fact that it will consume more physical energy invisibly.
Fortunately, Wang Feng now holds three fatigue badges. Whether on the offensive or defensive end, the intense physical confrontation does not consume much energy. Otherwise, with both offense and defense taken into consideration, Wang Feng would be exhausted in just one game.
Rest at the end of the game.
Entering the second quarter of the game, the American men's basketball team began to adjust their rotations one after another. More players came on the stage and took turns using their own skills and tricks to score points.
On the Hua Guo Men's Basketball side, Wang Feng is still the main attacker.
The gap between the lineups of the two teams was clearly reflected, but Wang Feng's ability was equally astonishing.
Whenever someone on the American men's basketball team scores, but his teammates on the Chinese men's basketball team don't have a good chance to attack, Wang Feng will step forward and rely on his super personal strength to force the score.
This made it possible that even though the Chinese men's basketball team was completely passive in the second quarter, it still held on to the score tenaciously.
"The half-time whistle sounded!"
Director Yu breathed a sigh of relief as he spoke.
"Faced with the indiscriminate bombardment of the American men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team endured tenaciously. The two teams fought until 51:48 at halftime. The Chinese men's basketball team was only 3 points behind. Don't give up! We still have time.
Chance!"
Wang Feng returned to the locker room and wiped the sweat from his forehead, his chest heaving.
He played the entire first half for 20 minutes, but his physical exertion was quite terrifying.
Not only that, in order to limit the offense of the American men's basketball team as much as possible, the defensive end Wang Feng also checked and filled in the gaps for his teammates many times. He has already been fouled three times.
According to the rules of the International Basketball Association, a player will be sent off after committing five fouls. Currently, Wang Feng only has two fouls left, and there is only half the time left in the game.
Wang Feng knew very well that in the first half of the game, the American men's basketball team was also in the testing stage, including Durant, Big Eyebrow and others, but they did not use their full strength.
In the second half, these people will gradually show their true strength. That moment is the most difficult time.
"This task is really not easy. If we don't think of a way, the game may be bad in the third quarter."
