Chapter 1650 One Person Is a Tsunami

Abidi Ipekaz Stadium, Istanbul, Turkey.

The Men's Basketball World Championship finals are in full swing. More than 12,500 fans at the scene are staring nervously at the big screen. On the big screen are the highlights of the first quarter that just ended.

The first quarter of the game was beyond people's expectations. Before the game, the American team, which was considered stronger and better at taking advantage in the opening quarter, only scored 15 points in a single quarter and shot only 34% from the field. It also lost to the Chinese team in a single quarter. 8 points, Rose, Durant, including Curry who came off the bench, all performed abnormally. Durant only made 1 of 4 shots. This is undoubtedly something people did not expect before the game.

What is even more unexpected is the performance of the Chinese team's ace Ji Feng, a well-deserved scoring machine in the World Championships. He previously averaged 44.2 points per game. He averaged 15.6 points per game in the first quarter. He only scored 4 points. What's even more exaggerated is that he sent 8 assists in a single quarter, setting a personal World Championship single-quarter assist record. It was also the single-quarter assist record in the World Championship for so many years.

This kind of performance was condensed into a 54-second highlight, which made the audience exclaim again and again. If the American fans had the advantage at the beginning, Ji Feng had attracted the support of more neutral fans with his wonderful performance in this quarter.

During the 5-minute intermission, you can hear the shouts of "Ji Feng" coming from the scene from time to time.

"This is the charm of Ji Feng." Director Zhang sighed while sitting in the commentary box.

"Yes, Ji Feng is a charming person both on and off the court, but we still can't be careless. This game will not end so easily." Yu Jia said.

Indeed, the Chinese team undoubtedly played its best in the first quarter, but the United States was the one that performed abnormally. When the United States came to their senses, everything would be hard to say.

At this moment, the challenge comes!

The American team's bench seemed very quiet throughout the game. The very gentle coach K got angry for the first time and cursed the starting players bloody.

"Do you think you have the nerve to say that you are from the NBA in the first quarter! You failed to make a three-point shot, broke through and walked, and made passing mistakes! OMG! If I go to Duke University and find a few people, they won't be able to compete. This is even worse!”

"Is this the future of the NBA? Is this the future of the NBA? Let me tell you, you are far worse than Mengba! If you play like this, you should retire as soon as possible, because you will be laughed at when you go back, and you will be just a nobody for the rest of your life!"

Old K's angry roar made the cameras quickly turn off the radio. In addition to the sensitive words, there was also a huge controversy when this segment was broadcast.

But Old K's words are naturally useful. For an experienced head coach like him, he is already familiar with what kind of words to say to whom. If he faced Mengba's group of old fritters, he would never say that, but to For these young people, saying this will be very effective.

At least it aroused their anger. I have to admit that sometimes the power of anger is very powerful on the court.

Then he made personnel adjustments. Westbrook, Curry, Durant, Love, and Gay came on the scene. This was their most impactful lineup with a higher outside shooting rate. Except for Gay, the other four players all They can be pulled out to shoot, and all of them have the ability to play in isolation on the wing.

This is the ultimate trick of the United States. Yes, no matter which U.S. national team it is, they have almost no decent tactics. After all, they have extremely strong personal abilities and can win casually. This time it is already settled. Before 2004, they didn't even have a training team for international competitions. The disastrous defeat that year made them start training in 2008.

But the effect is also limited. What tactics can be used in more than a week, so singles in various positions is their longest-used tactic.

This lineup was effective in the second quarter, especially Love. He pulled out twice and made three-pointers, just because he was older and slower.

However, on the defensive end, Ji Feng also took advantage of the fact that they had no one inside to score two consecutive points, but the point difference still became 6 points after one round.

At this time, Durant finally adjusted. He got the ball at the top of the arc. The Chinese team asked Sun Yue to switch to defend him, but Durant was too high and too accurate. He dribbled the ball and shot a three-pointer.

Score in!

The point difference is only 3 points!

The Chinese team called a timeout. After the timeout, Ji Feng assisted the United Arab Emirates and responded with a rebound inside. However, the American team, which was feeling the shot, once again had Curry hit a 3-pointer from the wing at a 45-degree angle!

4 consecutive three-pointers, the point difference is only two points!

Ji Feng once again attracted the defense. He made a strong breakthrough and was double-teamed by three people. He passed the ball to the baseline. Wang Shipeng received the ball and made a three-pointer. Fortunately, the inside line was roughly in position in advance and hit the ball with one hand.

But the American team was playing crazy, and Curry became unreasonable. He dribbled the ball to the front court and threw it 2 meters away from the three-point line!

The current Curry is not the future Curry, and shots from this distance are rare a few times a year, but this time, the basketball was decisively empty!

"OMG! Stephen~! Curry! A super long three-pointer close to the LOGO! The US team narrowed the point difference to only one point!"

"Can the Chinese team still resist?" Barkley shouted.

"These guns in the United States have been opened. The situation is not good." Yu Jia said with some worry.

"We can't play like this. It's too passive. They have already missed the shot. If they keep playing like this, they are likely to have a big climax. Then it will be difficult to chase points." Ji Feng observed while dribbling. Thinking on the defensive side.

The American team is indeed worthy of being the American team. The consecutive three-pointers broke Ji Feng's idea. Originally, he wanted to let his teammates perform as much as possible in the first half, and then stand up and take over the game in the second half. Because the American team is very strong, from the beginning he As far as hard steel is concerned, even if he can score 70 points by himself, it will be difficult to win. He must get help from his teammates, so he made changes in the first quarter, and the effect was very satisfying to Ji Feng.

However, they did not expect them to recover so quickly. At the beginning of the second quarter, the 8-point advantage was lost, and the intensity on both ends of the offense and defense was greatly improved, which caused the Chinese team's shooting percentage to trend downward.

This is very bad!

So Ji Feng decided not to wait any longer, he had to step up and curb the American team's scoring momentum!

Let’s start from the offensive end!

Just after dribbling the ball halfway, his finger pointed forward. Just when Gay thought a pick-and-roll was coming, Ji Feng suddenly started and took a sudden shot after two steps.

"Response to the ball! Oh ho~! A three-pointer that was farther than Curry's shot just now was scored. Ji Feng made his own response!"

After making the shot, Ji Feng pointed at Curry and then returned to defense.

Curry also got excited. After getting the ball, he made a strong shot. However, the basketball was like iron. Ji Feng grabbed the rebound and quickly rushed to the frontcourt. Facing Adu who was assisting in defense, he made another three-pointer!

Come in again!

Ji Feng's performance was not over yet. In the next round, Ji Feng took another shot from the three-point line. This time it was more difficult, but the result was the same!

Come in again!

After making the shot, Ji Feng raised three fingers and hit his chest hard twice.

"Three three-pointers! Ji Feng maintained the point difference!"
