After halftime, the Chinese men's basketball team was only 1 point behind, which no one expected.
Before the game test, the mentality of domestic fans was that the Chinese men's basketball team should lose less and win more. It was an unexpected surprise that the half-time score was so anxious.
Chen Yan scored 19 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds at halftime, a very comprehensive statistic!
Compared with the NBA, it is more difficult for the international men's basketball team to obtain such comprehensive data. First of all, FIBA's single quarter is only 10 minutes, and FIBA's statistics are more strict than the NBA.
For example, in the statistics of assists, FIBA's statistical rules for assists are that an assist is only counted if you catch the ball and make a shot. Shooting after catching the ball and dribbling is not counted as an assist. In the NBA, as long as the ball is caught and the action is continuous, it can be counted.
assists.
During halftime, Yunus encouraged every player of the men's basketball team.
The Chinese men's basketball team can play so tenaciously and still cling to the score at halftime. Not to mention domestic fans, even head coach Yunus didn't expect it before the game.
After praising the players, Yunus suddenly changed the topic: "Keep working hard! Stay focused! Maintain tactical execution. The game will be more difficult in the second half!"
Yunus knew that the game was only halfway through, and he didn't want the players to be immersed in the joy of a good performance in the first half, which would cause them to ruin the game.
On the other side of the Mengba locker room, Lao K was deploying tactics in an orderly manner.
Although the progress of the game was a bit beyond his expectation, Old K was not panicked at all.
After all, the strength of Mengba team is there. In addition to personal ability, Mengba players also have a huge advantage, which is physical fitness. Old K believes that as long as he follows his tactics in the second half, Mengba will quickly open up the points difference.
With hundreds of millions of fans watching, the second half started quickly!
The Chinese men's basketball team made slight adjustments to its starting lineup.
Sun Dasheng, Chen Yan, Zhu Ba, Ah Lian, Dayao.
Yunus pulled off Liu Wei, who had no bright spots in the first half.
The Dream Eight team continues to use the starting five from the opening game.
Kidd, Kobe, James, Anthony, Howard.
This is Mengba's strongest and most balanced lineup, with shooting ability, advancing speed, and the ability to protect the frame and rebounds inside.
The first attack of the Dream Team in the second half was initiated by James.
Anthony covers for James, and the little emperor switches defense to attack the Arab League.
The UAE's defensive position was very good, and James was unable to break through from the front for a while.
The next second, James waved his left hand and called Howard.
This is how it is to defend James. He calls 100-150 pick-and-rolls in every game, and international games are no exception.
After Howard blocked James, he finally found a breakthrough opportunity and drove inside with the ball.
The Chinese men's basketball team's defense quickly retracted, and James' threat to the frame was too great!
Seeing that the defense was all attracted to him, James immediately half-turned and released the ball.
In addition to his explosive physical talent, James also has a first-class golf intelligence, which is why he can succeed.
Kobe Bryant takes a shooting stance after receiving the ball from the outside.
Sun Dasheng quickly rushed to the outside line, and Kobe deceived him with a slight deception, then took the ball and drove to the basket.
After stepping into the penalty area, Kobe succeeded in a one-arm dunk.
55 to 52.
Kobe's scoring looks very satisfying. There are rarely such relaxed scenes in the Chinese men's basketball team's offense. This is the gap in talent.
After Kobe dunked, he put the ball lightly on the floor with both hands.
Kobe respects the Chinese men's basketball team and also respects all Chinese fans. Kobe has a huge fan base in China. Every time he goes to China, Kobe will receive an almost crazy welcome from the fans.
Kobe himself even bluntly said that China is his second home.
Chinese men's basketball team offensive round.
Chen Yan dribbled the ball past halftime and found Sun Dasheng.
The Chinese men's basketball team does not have a fixed point guard in its lineup. Basically, Sun Dasheng and Chen Yan take turns.
After the Great Sage received the ball, Dayao raised his position to the high position and prepared to cover him.
But Sun Dasheng did not use the screen to get the ball, but directly passed it to Zhu Ba who cut through the basket.
Zhu Ba can go straight to the layup after receiving the ball, but he is experienced and aware of the danger behind him.
Zhu Ba feinted three times in a row like a ghost.
But James behind him remained unmoved!
James' habit of blocking shots is to wait for his opponent to jump first, and then jump again himself, so Zhu 8 can't deceive James no matter how many times he clicks.
Zhu 8 chose to take action for the fourth time.
James jumped back but hit it first.
"Crack!"
Super blood cap!
James slapped the ball and sent it flying out of bounds.
The moment James blocked the shot, Howard also bounced up.
Even if James doesn't block Howard on this ball, he won't let Zhu 8 go.
Fans once again lamented the gap in physical talent between the two sides. The defensive intensity of the two sides was not at the same level. Although the score was not far behind, the Chinese men's basketball team's offense in each round was obviously more difficult than Mengba's.
The Chinese men's basketball team re-serves from the bottom line.
Kobe judged Zhu 8's serving route correctly and successfully stole the ball with a flying jump!
Mengba quickly pushed back and counterattacked!
Kobe, Kidd, James and Howard all ran across half the court in the blink of an eye. This speed can be described as lightning fast.
On the Chinese men's basketball team, only Chen Yan can keep up with Mengba's counterattack speed.
However, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. Mengba's counterattack cannot be blocked by Chen Yan alone.
"Bang!"
Kobe simply hit the ground to distribute the ball, and James followed up from the right with a domineering dunk to end the attack.
The Mengba team started the second half with two dunks, giving the Chinese men's basketball team a showdown!
As expected during the halftime break, the Chinese men's basketball team's physical fitness dropped very quickly in the second half.
Mengba blasted off a 9-2 spurt through successive offensive and defensive transitions, widening the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop.
Yunas quickly called a timeout when he saw that the rhythm on the court was not right.
"Stabilize! Stabilize your mentality, stabilize your rhythm, don't let them lead you by the nose, and play our own basketball!"
"Give the ball to Chen! Chen will initiate the attack, and Yao will cover. If there is a chance, shoot, if not, pass. What we have to do now is to ensure the success rate!"
The more difficult times come, the more stars need to step up. Yunus has a pair of inside and outside aces in Dayao and Chen Yan, so there is no reason to let them go.
Chen Yan and Dayao both nodded heavily.
After the timeout, Zhu Ba's sideline ball was directly delivered to Chen Yan's hands.
"Come on! Come on!"
Kobe squatted half-crouched and kept clapping his hands.
Chen Yan ignored Kobe's provocation and resolutely implemented the coach's tactical arrangements!
After Dayao mentioned the high position, Chen Yan leaned over and started.
Using Dayao's screen, Chen Yan got rid of Kobe's defense.
Howard immediately switched defenses. Mengba's tactic was to switch defenses when encountering Chen Yan's pick-and-roll. They knew Chen Yan's shooting speed and outside damage. Once the defense failed, he could cause damage on the outside at any time.
Chen Yan didn't stop because of Howard, he continued to hold the ball and lean on Howard to hit the basket.
One step inside the free throw line, Chen Yan suddenly made a sudden stop.
Reverse the crotch and pull back suddenly!
Howard took a step forward due to the inertia of his body, and with Chen Yan's retreat, the two of them were two steps apart in an instant.
But I have to say that Howard is a monster. Even so, he could adjust his body and throw himself in front of Chen Yan.
James on the side also let go of his opponent and pounced on him.
Under the interference of the two men, Chen Yanqian took action!
"Bang!"
"Whoa!"
The basketball hits the back edge and bounces in!
64 to 56.
Chen Yan struggled to stop the bleeding for the Chinese men's basketball team!
This is even after Chen Yan used the [Status Improvement Card]!
After all, basketball is a five-person sport. There is a huge gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Dream Team in all aspects. It is impossible to play easily against a team composed of 12 all-stars.
Mengba attacks.
Kidd handed the ball to James after halftime.
Although Kidd is the point guard of the team, James is more like the commander of this dream team.
The players are also willing to believe in James and give him the ball because James plays so selflessly.
Using the screen, James forced his way to the basket.
After taking off against Yao, James used a lever to pass the ball to Kidd on the outside.
Kidd didn't stop the ball, and the moment he caught the ball, he passed the ball back to James inside.
James passed the ball behind the back to find Anthony, who cut to the basket and hit the board for two points.
66 to 56.
Perfect cooperation!
By the third quarter, the players of Dream Team 8 were also in good condition.
Looking back, Chen Yan continued to cooperate with Dayao in pick-and-roll.
Warcraft changed defense again and stood in front of Chen Yan.
Chen Yan accelerated and then pulled his hips back.
This scene looks like a repeat of the previous round.
Howard said that he is not a fool and will not fall into the same pit twice.
The moment Chen Yan pulled back, Howard quickly took a step forward to squeeze his shooting space.
The moment Howard stepped forward, Chen Yan quickly pushed the ball forward.
Classic small versus big!
Chen Yan made a time difference and passed Howard cleanly!
Howard can't be blamed for this goal. Chen Yan's offense changes with the opponent. If he didn't keep up with Chen Yan just now, he would take a shot from the mid-range.
Chen Yan jumped into the penalty area and scored against Anthony's defense in the air!
When the ball was scored, the referee's whistle also sounded.
"twenty one!"
"What a ball!"
"Beautiful! Chen Yan, continue to explode!"
“It’s so difficult to guard against this kind of combination of man and ball!”
Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Chen Yan stood on the free throw line.
"Whoa!"
Extra penalty hit.
66 to 59.
Chen Yan used personal offense to help the Chinese men's basketball team continue to chase points.
The Dream Team attacked in the next round, and Anthony missed a high shot after receiving a pass from Kidd.
Chen Yan turned around and grabbed the rebound and advanced steadily.
Dayao took the initiative to move to a high position to cover for him.
It’s still the pick-and-roll cooperation with Dayao!
In this round, Kobe chose to quickly bypass Dayao's screen, while Howard still stood in front of Chen Yan.
Double team!
The Dream Team doesn’t want Chen Yan to use the same routine to continue scoring points.
Facing a flanking attack, Chen Yan continued his reasonable playing style tonight and immediately passed the ball back to Dayao!
Dayao made adjustments after receiving the ball and shot from a high position.
"Whoa!"
66 to 61.
This distance is within Dayao's shooting range, and he will not let go of such an opportunity to easily score points.
"nice shot!"
"Good news!"
Chen Yan and Dayao high-fived to celebrate!
The Dream Team doesn't want to leave Dayao short, but Chen Yan's offensive threat is too great.
Of the two bottles of poison, you have to choose one to drink.
