Chapter 1313 The Mentality of American Fans Explodes (9/10!)
Chapter 1313 The mentality of American fans explodes (910!)
Drummond executed a free throw, and the scene was still full of boos.
This time he made one of two free throws and finally scored a free throw.
Seeing Drummond let out a long breath after scoring the second free throw, Tang Tian felt sorry for his junior.
Of course, he also has to praise Li Chunjiang, whose coaching ability is somewhat unexpected.
On the last attack of the half, Tang Tian brought the ball to the frontcourt, made an emergency stop and hit the buzzer after changing direction.
At the end of the half, the score on the field was fixed at 46 to 41, and the Chinese team led by 5 points to end the half!
The players of both teams returned to the locker room to rest, and at this moment, the fans on the hotline were blown away.
"Three years ago, you could have won by 20 points behind, and now you are leading by 5 points at halftime, tell me loudly, who will be the world champion?!"
"Chinese team!!!"
"By the way, Li Chunjiang's operation before halftime was really too flamboyant. As far as this wave of operations alone is concerned, he exploded Popovich on the opposite side."
"It's a real show. I beat Popovich in Popovich's way. If the Chinese team really wins in the end, Li Chunjiang will become famous!"
"Don't you think that Li Chunjiang is the young Popovich of the CBA? Whether it is Guangdong or Guangsha, they can train young players, and they all have the same violent temper, plus this tactical operation. "
"Don't tell me, it really looks like it. According to your point of view, this is the CBA's Popovich winning the NBA's Popovich? Manual dog head"
"o(╥﹏╥)o I didn't expect that I would beat the NBA in the CBA."
...
The Chinese fans are overjoyed and overjoyed.
However, on social media in the United States, the mood of fans is obviously not so good.
"We were 5 points behind the Chinese team at halftime! And Popovich was shown off by an unknown coach before halftime!"
"Sure enough, our NBA claims to be the number one league in the world, but when it comes to the FIBA arena, neither the players nor the coaches are acclimatized."
"Exactly, what is Curry playing? How many three-pointers did he score in this World Cup?"
"I know that Curry may just feel bad. You must know that he was very strong in the World Cup when he was young, but Popovich can't change his starting lineup?"
"I think Popovich is really not good on the spot. Although he is indeed great, he is really much worse than old K!"
"Why don't you let Cole go?"
"Let's forget about Cole, who is worse than Popovich on the spot. I think Srpostella and Carlisle are more suitable."
"And Drummond, what kind of play is it, is it so difficult to get the ball in?"
"This is lack of practice! Inaccurate shooting, free throws, etc., is lack of practice!"
"At the end of the day, our country's insider talents are dying. Once AD can't be beaten, no one can top it. The evil Xiao Hua has ruined a group of insiders!"
"If you lose this time, Xiao Hua must be responsible!"
"He's in a mental hospital, he's responsible, let's see how he adjusts in the second half. If the World Cup is also lost, don't talk about the dream team!"
...
Lost in the Olympics three years ago, this time the American Basketball Association sent almost the strongest lineup.
If you really lose, there will be no more excuses.
As fans have said on social media, the Dream Team may not even be appropriate to call them anymore.
Back from the halftime break, the US team did not adjust the starting lineup, but their defensive strength on the field has increased significantly.
Judging from Popovich's flushed face when he came back, he must have lost his temper in the locker room at halftime.
Under the US team's high-pressure defense, the Chinese team's tactical coordination was basically impossible.
Just like the NBA playoffs will evolve into superstar singles, when there is a big gap in personal strength, tactics will lose their meaning.
Tang Tian began to switch to personal attack mode.
The others had done enough in the first half, and it was time for him to stand up.
Emergency stop and pull, turning and leaning back, ultra-long three-pointers, fast break dunks...
Popovich failed to guard Tang Tian when he was in the Spurs, and the Dream Team had limited restrictions on Tang Tian.
Tang Tian scored 20 points in a single quarter, and at the end of the third quarter, he helped the Chinese team and the US team draw 76.
The three quarters were tied, and the two sides returned to the same starting line!
The fans at the scene were nervous and excited.
I was nervous because the score was tied between the two sides, and I was excited because as the game time continued to decrease, the possibility of the Chinese team winning the championship was also increasing a little bit.
In the beginning of the fourth quarter, both teams made substitutions one after another in the transition period.
The lineup on the US team, Lillard, Harden, George, Leonard and Turner.
Popovich also began to compress the rotation.
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 them. Even if they were strong, they would be tired after such a high-intensity game.
However, Li Chunjiang also knows that this transition from the bench is very important, and he has already replaced Ding Yanyuhang and Yi Jianlian in the third quarter to rest.
Replace them all now.
Wu Qian and Ding Yanyuhang on the outside, Zhou Peng and Yi Jianlian on the front line, and Shen Zijie on the center.
He did the opposite of what he did in the first half, expanding the rotation.
Back in the fourth quarter, the fans on the scene and in front of the TV were extremely nervous.
This section is the one that decides life and death.
The scene of the Spanish team's poor physical fitness at the end of the fight is still vivid, and no one knows what the Chinese team can do.
If he fell in the last 20 meters of the 100-meter sprint like the Spanish team, the result would be an honorable defeat, but psychologically it would still be unacceptable.
So that kind of nervousness comes from the bottom of my heart, the kind where my hands move unconsciously and my body trembles slightly.
The Chinese team came up to attack first, and Ding Yanyuhang held the ball from outside and Yi Jianlian played a pick-and-roll.
After dismantling it, he slammed in with his waist, striking extremely resolutely.
After two years of experience in the NBA, and after so many World Cups, he knows exactly what he wants to do now.
Turner assisted in the defense inside. After the two confronted, he knocked Ding Yanyuhang to the ground.
The referee blew Turner's defensive foul, and Ding Yanyuhang got two extra penalty opportunities.
He fell hard enough, but Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng went over to pull him up immediately, and he waved his hands to indicate that it was okay.
He adjusted his breath and made two free throws. He helped the Chinese team get the first two points of this quarter.
Popovich called Harden to his side during the timeout and gave him a few words of advice.
The US team attacked the frontcourt, Harden held the ball and signaled to pull away, and directly singled Ding Yanyuhang.
Obviously, Popovich knows that Ding Yanyuhang is the main offensive point of the Chinese team on the court, and they have begun to target him on both offensive and defensive ends.
Ding Yanyuhang had a hard time defending Harden, and Harden was instructed by Popovich to use his body to find a confrontation, and finally went to the basket to score the ball.
There was a commotion on the sidelines, which obviously meant a bit of bullying.
And back on the defensive end, Ding Yanyuhang broke through again and was double-teamed.
Popovich doesn't care who you are when he targets people.
Ding Yanyuhang barely passed the ball to Yi Jianlian in the double-team.
George has come to help defend, and Yi Jianlian has no time to make a move.
Fortunately, he didn't stop the ball and immediately passed the ball to Zhou Peng in the bottom corner.
Double-teaming will definitely have a point of being abandoned, and Zhou Peng is that point.
The reason is also very simple. Zhou Peng has never played before, and the chances of making a shot this time are not great.
Zhou Peng chose to make a move, and Li Chunjiang specifically told him to make a move when he had the opportunity.
"Do what an old man should do."
Li Chunjiang also made a point of exhortation.
Zhou Peng's shot speed was not fast, even a little slow, but the US team's defense was far away, and Zhou Peng had already completed the shot when he rushed over.
Everyone on the scene held their breath, this ball is very critical.
If Zhou Peng can't throw the ball in, then the US team's double-teaming of Ding Yanyuhang and Yi Jianlian will be even crazier.
If the Chinese team is opened up in this period, or is forced to go to Tang Tian in advance, the situation is likely to collapse instantly.
"Shua!"
There was a crisp sound.
In the expectant eyes of the fans, Zhou Peng threw the ball in!
