basketball never sleeps

Chapter 58 Welcome to BJ 2008

At present, FIBA's technical foul free throws are still two free throws and one throw. After the free throws are over, the free throw team can still have the ball. Melon sent this wave of big ones directly to allow the Chinese team to further widen the point difference.

The unreconciled players of Ugly Team began to fight desperately, and used the method of wheel battles to frantically rush towards the inside line guarded by Yao Ming and Moko. In order to avoid getting into foul trouble, Yao Ming's defensive actions were relatively conservative, giving Dream Six a chance to recover the score .

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams - the Chinese team 45:43 Ugland team, the point difference returned to 2 points.

Dayao made 10 of 6 shots, scored 12 points and 5 rebounds, and played a regular level; Mo Wen made 13 of 6 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 4 free throws, scored a game-high 18 points, and 3 4 rebounds, 1 assists, and [-] steal, all the front lines of the Dream Six team were put to shame.

For the Dream Six team, only Iverson scored in double figures, making 10 of 4 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points.They also have good news and bad news.

The good news is that their personnel rotation is better, so they have a physical advantage in the second half; the bad news is that Duncan made another three offenses.

Duncan, who got his third foul in the second quarter, was replaced directly. At this point in the game, everyone knew what the Chinese team was thinking.

Although the Ugly Team also wanted to kill Yao Ming, under the protection of the Chinese team as a whole, Dayao only received one foul after halftime.

However, the price of this protection is not small. Both Moko and Yi Jianlian were fouled 3 times, plus the points lost during the period, there were gains and losses.

After the start of the second half, Marion, who was originally inside, stood up to defend Mo Wen. Marion is actually a player that fits the Dream Six lineup. He has defense and shooting, but his skills are average. His shooting is ugly, but he counterattacks. Or opening up space in positional warfare has a great effect.

However, the coaching staff of the Dream Six team paid more attention to Marion's ability to average 10+ rebounds per game in the NBA, and kept using him in the interior as Odom's substitute. Only when no one was available on the front line did he remember to pull Marion out. .

James, who did not play, was relieved. Anthony gave him a sample just now. He is determined to continue to gain weight in the rest of the vacation.

Facing this long-armed, long-legged and quick-moving striker, Mo Wen was already prepared. He thought that Marion would defend him after Jefferson was off the field, but he didn't expect that the three of the Dream Team Six would defend him. The old man reacted so slowly.

Mo Wen gestured for a double screen on the inside, handed the ball to Liu Wei, and then started running. Dayao and Moko stopped inside along the trapezoidal sideline, leaving a gap for the goal.

Marion's flexibility is good compared to the inside. Mo Wen opened up the space for cutting inside with a reverse run from the outside.

But Liu Wei didn't pass the ball at this time, and Meng Liu's two insiders were standing under the basket. Mo Wen caught the ball at this time.

When Mo Wen ran from the corner to the basket, Duncan sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to act.

Mo Wen quickly passed through the gap between Da Yao and Mo Ke. At the same time, Liu Wei pretended to pass the ball to the other side, but after attracting Marbury's attention, he hit the ground and sent the ball to the three-pointer. In the hands of Mo Wen outside the line.

Taking off to shoot, Marion just broke away from Dayao and Moko's arms, and the basketball has already flown to the basket.

"They fouled! Offensive foul!"

Larry Brown raised his hand to signal the referee, but the two referees hesitated and did not give the whistle.

Because Dayao and Moke didn't move or make abnormal blocking actions just now, they just raised their arms to block them, which is allowed by the rules.

Turning around, Iverson made a shot after the screen and responded.

But in the next round, the Chinese team still used this tactic.

This tactic can be regarded as a simplified version of the later "elevator door tactic", but the difference is that in order to adapt to the FIBA ​​rules, the action of closing the door was canceled, and the behavior of completely blocking became a lagging follow-up player.

For a defensive player of the same size, this kind of hysteresis is limited, which is better than nothing, but for a larger defensive player like Marion with broad shoulders and long arms, this trick is particularly useful.

Although the ability to open up space has become smaller, it also reduces the possibility of being whistled.

However, the Chinese team didn't keep playing. After three rounds, the referee seemed to feel that it was a bit sloppy, and looked at the Chinese team a bit wrongly. Mo Wen also signaled a change in time.

Anyway, they prepared more than one off-ball tactic.

"There is still a period of time, and the Chinese team still maintains the lead. Mo Wen and Dayao look very tired, but they are still holding on."

"Duncan is only one time away from committing a full foul. Whether he can be beaten down is the key to the Chinese team's victory in this game."

"Iverson shot the ball against the interference and didn't score. It can be seen that the Uganda team is a little anxious now. If they lose this game, they may have to create the first empty-handed record in Ugland's basketball history."

"Come on, come on, come on, hold on, boys, hold on for another 5 minutes, and you will become heroes of China!"

The players on both sides of the field were about to lose their stability, and the only ones who could remain calm were Mo Wen and Duncan.

"Defend well, don't be nervous, play according to tactics, don't panic!"

The players of the Dream Team Six looked at Mo Wen talking and pointing, thinking that Mo Wen was going to play another tactic, and they were all nervous, but they didn't expect that Mo Wen's choice for this round was singles.

Marion got close to Mo Wen under the command of Larry Brown on the sidelines, and the long arm of 220 was like a big pocket.

Mo Wen didn't stand up to the confrontation, he used his most skillful escape move - stepping back and worshiping Buddha.

After tricking Marion into leaning forward, he didn't forget to shake his shoulders before breaking through.

Seeing Mo Wen rushing towards him again, a trace of helplessness appeared in Duncan's eyes.

Dream Six did a poor job of sub-pressing him on the defensive end. Larry Brown, a famous defensive coach, did not help the Dream Six team build a layered defense like the Pistons in a short period of time.

Another European step, Duncan was already fully alert, but in front of Mo Wen's mature rhythm, he was still caught.

Duncan's arm hit Mo Wen's deliberately extended left arm, and his right arm was basically undisturbed.

The basketball was scored and the referee blew his whistle.

The thug fouled and added a free throw. Duncan committed 5 fouls.

Shaking his arms dissatisfied, Duncan lowered his head and walked off the court.

This year's game, playing really made him aggrieved.

Ao Pang shook his head sympathetically in front of the TV. They could be regarded as having the same disease. Iverson and Marbury are both players who are used to playing singles with the ball on the outside. The coaching staff did not arrange inside tactics. Can only be a standing center, the kind who eats very little cake.

"I leave it to you, Dayao!"

Mo Wen rubbed his arm that was a little sore from the impact just now, and put on a look of salted fish.

"give it to me!"

Dayao excitedly clenched his fists and raised his hands to the camera on the sidelines.

Duncan's end was a huge blow to the morale of the ugly country team, but it was not "the end of the world."

Although Stoudemire is not as experienced as Duncan in defending Yao, he has more physical strength and has brought a lot of trouble to the Chinese team in the fast break.

In the last minute, the difference between the two teams was only 1 points.

Iverson missed a three-pointer with a step back from the outside, and Dayao pointed the ball to the frontcourt.

After Zhu Fangyu threw the ball to Mo Wen, Mo Wen picked the basket and hit the basket, opening the score to 6 points.

"Roar!!"

Although it was just a pick, Mo Wen couldn't help but patted his chest.

The audience on the sidelines also gave a huge cheer. After the goal, it almost heralded the end of the Dream Six team.

A round of 30 seconds, less than 1 minute and 6 minutes.

What is the Dream Six team going to do? ?
The Ugly Team's bench either closed their eyes or lowered their heads. No one could accept such a result.

The Dream Six players on the field have not given up yet. Iverson and Marbury gritted their teeth and launched a fast break, trying to grab points.

It's a pity that this is not a Hollywood blockbuster after all, and it is impossible to complete a headwind with a "God Bless America".

Marbury, who made 12 of 4 shots in the game, finally made an accurate one, but his retreat was too small, and when his heel was still a finger wide from the three-point line, this shot only brought them two points.

Mo Wen steadily dragged on for a round, and in the last 5 seconds, he passed the ball to the open Moko, but it was a pity.

Meng Liu's double guns counterattacked again, but unfortunately, Marbury failed to hit again this time.

With 15 seconds left in the game, the fans on the sidelines all stood up. Some Chinese fans who traveled thousands of miles to watch the game were already shouting crazy.

Gong Luming, the leader of the team who should have been calm the most, was trembling with excitement at this moment.

The timeouts for both sides have already been called, and now they just have to wait for the time to run out.

Mo Wen consciously dribbled the ball to Larry Brown's side.

Facing Marion who came over from the defense, he dribbled the ball alternately with his left and right hands under his crotch very rhythmically.

Marion, who had lost his temper, just followed Mo Wen's movements numbly.

After a feint, Mo Wen immediately collected the ball and retreated.

Marion, who had no time to react, slipped and sat on the ground.

Mo Wen, who joined the ball from beyond the three-point line, did not continue to shoot, but smiled at Larry Brown next to him, and shrugged by the way.

Then, before Marion got up, he pressed the time and threw the ball.

After landing, Mo Wen turned around to face Larry Brown, put one hand behind his back, and raised the other hand to point to the player tunnel, then bowed slightly.

It's like sending the dream team away.

"Coach Brown, thank you for your dedication. If there is still a chance, 2008BJ welcomes you."

　And at night
