The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 340
Zhao Jiwei broke through with the ball all the way. Although the speed was not fast, and it was uncomfortable to be pushed by Lowry, at least the ball was in his hands and he did not lose it.

After coming to the penalty area, he looked back at the moon and passed the ball to Li Pu on the outside.

Compared with Guo Ailun's rampage, Zhao Jiwei's physical fitness is average, but the pass to Li Pu is quite in place.

After Li Pu received the ball, he feinted a shot, then dribbled the ball and broke through, and immediately pulled the middle distance.

Li Pu's entire style of play is almost exactly the same as Durant's, completely small forward style of play.

It can be said that apart from height, there is almost no violation.

A style of play like Li Pu is absolutely a killer in FIBA ​​competitions!
After all, compared to the NBA, there is no three-second defense in the FIBA ​​league, so the interior is more crowded. If there is no good shot, it is easy to be flanked by breakthroughs or low-post strong plays.

With Li Pu's further advance, the contest between the two teams in the first quarter came to an end.

At 24:27, the Huaxia team lost only 3 points after the first quarter.

Li Pu played the entire first quarter and scored 16 points alone, showing his dominance on the court.

On the contrary, except for Dakongyi, it is difficult for others to provide much help to Li Pu.

This is true on the offensive end, and even more so on the defensive end.

If it weren't for Li Pu's offensive and defensive shoulders, I'm afraid the point difference between the two teams would have already reached double digits at this time.

After the intermission ended and the second quarter started, people were surprised to find that Li Pu was still on the court.

"Is he going to play the whole game?"

The scene and the fans in front of the TV were in an uproar.

Even if Li Pu is easy to use, he can't use it so badly, right?

The donkeys in the production team don't dare to use it like this?

In fact, coach Gong Luming didn't want to replace Li Pu, but Li Pu refused.

He said: At present, the team can still bite the score. If he makes a bet, he is likely to be taken away by a wave. Instead of this, he might as well stay on the court.

FIBA's single quarter is 10 minutes, even if you play a full game, it will only last 40 minutes. My average playing time in the NBA is often 40 minutes. Therefore, playing a game like this is completely fine.

Seeing that Li Pu was so persistent, Gong Luming naturally had nothing to say, and continued to put Li Pu on the court.

At this time, both sides are in rotation.

The dream team here is: Lowry, Thompson, George, Dream Chaser and Jordan.

Of course, the Huaxia team didn't dare to make frequent substitutions like the Dream Team. At this time, besides Li Pu, the starter Xiao Ding was also on the field. Besides, there were three substitutes: King, Jiaozuo LeBron and Zhao Jiwei.

At this time, Li Pu has arrived at the power forward position, and in order to make up for the king's slow pace, he still has four defenses.

Take this ball for example, Chaimeng made a high-profile pass to the air-cut pickled pepper, but at this moment, Li Pu actually took a step ahead and interrupted the pass in the air.

Then he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing the pincer attack of Chaimeng and Thompson, Li Pufei dunked and dunked the two directly.

The old coach K hastily requested a timeout.

To be honest, before the opening game, no one on the Dream Team took this game seriously.

Although Li Pu is strong, he is only one person after all, and the strength of the others is too weak to compete with the dream team.

However, when the game started, they realized that they still underestimated Li Pu. This guy can really blow up a team by himself!

So the timeout came back, and the old coach K made adjustments. He regained Durant and Butler, two of Lip's former and current teammates.

Coach K's adjustments were very timely and effective.

As soon as Durant came back, he used a mid-range shot to score for the Dream Team.

Then, on the defensive end, the Dream Team began to double-team Li Pu. As soon as Li Pu got the ball, Butler and Jr. Jordan began to double-team Li Pu. Seeing this, Li Pu gave the ball to Ji Wei on the outside. , Unfortunately, Ji Wei missed a three-pointer.

The Dream Team received the rebound and began to counterattack. During the fast break, Lowry scored a ball to Thompson in the bottom corner. The latter hit a three-pointer, and the point difference returned to 6 points in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Pu quickly motioned for the coach to call a timeout.

"The opponent started double-teaming me, Brother Yi, you have to come back and help me!"

"Ok, no problem!"

In this Huaxia team, apart from Dakongyi on the offensive end, everyone else is unreliable.

Everyone is well aware of this, so Dakongyi quickly agreed.

After the timeout, the Huaxia team has almost replaced all the starters, and it is the Huaxia team's offensive round again.

As soon as Li Pu received the ball from the outside line, the opponent's pincer came back.

This time, Li Pu gave the ball to Da Kongyi near the free throw line. After receiving the ball, Da Kongyi chose a mid-range shot and made a hit!
The Huaxia team's offense returned to normal.

Of course, even relying on the performance of the two, it is still difficult to beat four hands with two fists. At the end of the half, the score has reached 44:55, and the point difference has reached as much as 11 points.

But even so, the half-time point difference has created a historically small gap, which is 08 point less than that in the 1 Olympic Games.

You know, the overall strength of the Huaxia team at that time was much stronger than it is now.

Of course, the hard power gap between the two teams is still quite large, and it is not easy to be able to play a good half-court.

After the start of the second half, the Dream Team resorted to a frontcourt press. In 08, the Huaxia team was completely fooled by this move, and they were blown away by their opponents in an instant.

Tonight, however, the Dream Team miscalculated.

The two small point guards of the Huaxia team, when facing the pressure of the Dream Team, actually handled the ball in a decent manner. During the period, Zhao Jiwei even knocked down the pickled pepper with a ball, which caused the audience to laugh.

However, the hard power of the dream team is still stronger after all.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, the point difference had come to 20 points.

Although Li Pu still did not give up, the point difference could not be narrowed. In the end, Li Pu was replaced with 5 minutes left before the end of the game.

The game was finally fixed at 89:115, and the Huaxia team lost by 26 points, but this was already the least game Huaxia team lost against the Dream Team.

Li Pu played for 35 minutes and scored a large double-double with 48 points and 21 rebounds, showing his dominance on both offense and defense.

A hearty fiasco did not dispel the fighting spirit of the players of the Huaxia team. On the contrary, they actually showed confidence.

I can play such a performance against the dream team, so what about facing other teams?

However, in the second game against France, relying on Li Pu's 45 points and 18 rebounds again, the team struggled to win 82:80.

In the third scene against Venezuela, Li Pu once again scored 36 points and 22 rebounds, and defeated Venezuela 78:72, achieving two consecutive victories.

But in the next two games, they lost 78:93 against Australia and 81:94 against Serbia.

In the end, the Huaxia team had two wins and three losses in the group stage and made it to the quarterfinals with difficulty.

But in the face of Spain, which is the first in Group B, it can only stop at the quarterfinals.
