NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 69 Bullying a child, Lin Chuan's ridicule (410)

Lin Chuan played the entire first quarter and widened the score to an 11-point advantage, which was also the biggest deficit the US team had ever faced in this Olympics.

During the intermission, Old K pointed at the scoreboard and said seriously,
"Now you can see that the opponent is not a weak team. We must take it seriously. None of us wants to see the result of failing at the last step."

"Next, the time for playing games is over, go up and defeat them, superstars!"

At the beginning of the second quarter, the US team changed its lineup.

Center: Tyson Chandler, Power forward: Kevin Love, Small forward: Anthony, Point guard: Harden, Point guard: Deron Williams.

In China, Lin Chuan temporarily went off the court to rest, and Wang Zhizhi took his place.

Even though the US team had already sent out the second lineup, as soon as Lin Chuan came off the court, the US team still played better than before when all the players were on the field.

Facing Deron's supermodel physique, Chen Jianghua was unable to defend him. He was forced to defend after crossing half court and lost the ball twice and was counterattacked.

Just two minutes into the second quarter, the U.S. team successfully scored 7:0, quickly narrowing the score gap.

Deng Huade was nervous and anxious watching from the sidelines. He glanced at Lin Chuan who was drinking an energy drink, but gave up the idea of ​​substituting him for the game immediately.

After being hit for 7 points in a row, the members of the Chinese team became a little anxious. The ball was quickly served from the baseline and Chen Jianghua quickly received the ball and rushed forward.

Facing Deron's pressure, Chen Jianghua suddenly showed his talent. In a flash of inspiration, he quickly dribbled to the frontcourt against Deron, and then suddenly changed speed and dribbled the ball behind his back. Deron Williams in front of his left had not even turned around when he saw Chen Jianghua rushing over.

He rushed into the restricted area at full speed, facing the defense of Tyson Chandler in the interior, he stretched out his arms, bypassed Chandler's defense, rushed into the empty restricted area, and scored two points with a low layup.

The set of movements was smooth and flowing. The scene paused for a moment, and then burst into huge cheers.

"Chen Jianghua! This extremely talented young man showed us his amazing and unique talent in this round!"

"This goal shows the U.S. team that we didn't just rely on Lin Chuan to get to this point! Every player in the men's basketball team is very strong!"

Chen Jianghua's attack made the US team a little confused, but they quickly reacted.

It was a wonderful goal scored on a whim, that's all!

Anthony received the pass from Harden, jumped one step outside the three-point line, and shot decisively!

When he returned to defense, he poked his head with three fingers, three shots to the head! This is his three-point celebration posture.

One goal stabilized the morale of the Chinese team. They were no longer nervous and began to run their tactics smoothly. Yi Jianlian just ran out of the open space, received a ground pass from Chen Jianghua, and directly made a three-pointer.

Respond to the ball!
It has been a long time since the US team encountered a team that could fight back and forth with them. Even the Spanish team was beaten by them by nearly 20 points in the third quarter. Now, the Chinese team is still leading them by 6 points in the middle of the second quarter.

No less powerful than the Spanish rivals.

Even the substitutes are difficult to deal with.

"careful!"

Anthony was thinking too much, so much so that when he caught the ball, he didn't notice that a hand suddenly appeared behind him and quickly cut the ball off.

"what?!"

The moment the ball disappeared, Anthony looked back and saw Chen Jianghua hit another empty blue shot.

It turned out that just now, when he received the ball from Love, Chen Jianghua hid behind the referee, and the moment he dribbled the ball forward, he rushed out from behind the referee to steal the ball and make a layup.

"There are so many little tricks!"

Old K looked annoyed. He didn't expect that the Chinese team could come up with such a sinister tactic.

The opponent continued to play brilliantly, and Deron couldn't hold back his face anymore, so he volunteered to lock down Chen Jianghua. Chen Jianghua was pinned to death, but the others survived.

Wang Zhizhi was in the corner, and Love was used to staying close to the inside. His bad defensive habits made him rush over when he saw Wang Zhizhi receiving the ball, but he only ended up being hit by a three-pointer.

They had just beaten the Chinese team 7:0, but were defeated by the Chinese team again after three rounds.

The U.S. team attacked, Love received the pass from Deron, withstood Wang Zhizhi's strong shot and made a three-pointer, and then made a response ball, which finally stopped the bleeding.

But then, Yi Jianlian also stood up, turned around in the inside, bypassed Love's defense, jumped on the spot and slammed the score, widening the score difference to double digits again.

Old K finally couldn't help but call a timeout, replacing Love and Deron with Kobe and Durant.

The offensive and defensive strength of the lineup has been greatly improved.

But on the other side, Lin Chuan returned to the court again.

"You played very well, now watch me!"

Lin Chuan patted everyone on the shoulder to encourage them, warmed up, and started the last moments of the first half!
As soon as Lin Chuan came on the court, the Chinese team's audience began to cheer, as if the stabilizing force had finally returned.

"It's tricky... when he comes on the court, no one can match him."

Old K paced back and forth in a somewhat restless manner, and unknowingly walked in front of a person.

"You're blocking my view of the game, Mike."

Old K pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked down at the source of the sound.

James, dressed in a suit, ate popcorn and stared at him, with no emotion in his eyes.

Old K looked at him, too lazy to pay attention to him, walked to the other side and started shouting at everyone on the court to concentrate and pay attention to defense.

And for LeBron James at this time.

He doesn't care at all about the players who are unwilling to compete in the competition.

Just treat him as air.

A small episode, placed in the Olympic men's basketball final watched by hundreds of millions of people, not even a few people noticed it, and everyone's attention was on the game.

This is because just now, Lin Chuan threw a one-legged stand against Chandler, leaving him completely helpless.

In the previous round, he was fouled by Lin Chuan's layup.

The two of them only faced each other for about ten minutes in the first half, and he had already committed three fouls. If this continues, he will be forced to leave the court early due to five fouls.

Faced with Lin Chuan's solo performance after he came on the court, the US team also had its own means to deal with it.

First, Durant ran to the frontcourt, received the ball, and instantly stopped and made a three-pointer.

On the next ball, Durant came to Kobe's show time again.

Kobe Bryant withstood the close defense of Wang Shipeng and shot a three-pointer. With no space to shoot, he created a tiny shooting opportunity out of impossible space by relying on the angle of leaning back. Kobe seized the opportunity and shot a three-pointer!

The referee blew the whistle! Goal!
3+1!

The first three plus one of this game!
