Chapter 785 Sino-American War (Fifteen)
Yao Min has practiced in the NBA for more than two years. In the past two years, his weight has increased a lot, and his absolute strength has also increased rapidly. The main increase is the upper body strength and core strength. His original lower body strength is actually very strong. Not bad, otherwise it would not have been successfully selected by Houston with the No. [-] pick.

Although weight and strength have increased a lot, Yao Min has not lost his soft touch because of these. In the history of the NBA, the center players who can shoot more than 80.00% of their free throws are definitely not more than the number of hands.

In the sport of basketball, the soft feel comes from the flexibility of the wrist and the size of the palm. The flexibility of the wrist is affected to a certain extent by the strength and muscle sensitivity. Long-term strength training will make muscle sensitivity The lowering is determined by the function of the human body. While receiving strength training and gaining weight, Yao Min has been practicing the yoga movements taught by Liu Han, so he can always keep his wrists flexible.

The size of the palm actually has a great impact on the feel of the shot. The larger the palm, the more stable the ball will be to a certain extent, but it will also make it more difficult to control the hand when shooting. Compared with Yao Min In terms of stature, his palm size is actually relatively small, which puts Yao Min at a disadvantage when controlling rebounds, but he can guarantee a very good touch when shooting.

The NBA's three-point line is farther than the FIBA's three-point line, so Yao Min has the ability to shoot three-pointers in FIBA ​​games, which is only a big two-pointer compared to the NBA.

Yao Min's previous mistakes caused the US team to tie the score, but now his resolute three-pointer allowed the Chinese team to regain the advantage. Although the Chinese team's defensive strength has dropped a lot due to physical reasons, But as long as the offensive efficiency can be guaranteed, the Chinese team is still at an advantage.

The US team's defense just now was actually a mistake caused by their inertial thinking. In the NBA, Yao Min's shooting range did not reach the three-point line.

The game continued, the US team sent a baseline ball, and Liu Han suddenly pressed hard, forcing Iverson to pass the ball to James who was responding.

When the US team advanced to the frontcourt, the Chinese team had settled down on the defensive position.

After Liu Han returned to his own half, he and his teammates stood in the second and third defensive positions. Although the American team had a much higher shooting percentage from the outside during this period, the Chinese team no longer had the energy to expand their defense to the outside. Forced to use zone defense to defend the basket.

The U.S. team did not shoot from the outside quickly this time, but calmly ran tactics. Anthony and Duncan all provided off-ball screens for their teammates, and even Iverson was running off the ball.

The rotation speed of the Chinese team's defense has dropped a lot, which allowed the US team to seize the opportunity. When the attack time came to No. 16 seconds, Iverson used Duncan's cover to hit an open three-pointer at a 45-degree angle. , which was his first three-pointer of the game.

Iverson's three-pointer made the players of the Chinese team somewhat frustrated. Now every tie is a huge test for the Chinese team. After all, the players of both sides have an absolute advantage over the US team in terms of confidence.

"Don't worry, calm down, it's okay, attack well."

After the game entered the last 5 minutes, Liu Han kept giving reminders to his teammates like a nanny. Although this seemed a bit nagging, it also relieved some pressure on the players of the Chinese team to a certain extent. After all, Liu Han was worth it. Everyone decides to trust.

After Liu Han advanced to the frontcourt, the American team did not dare to double-team this time. Yao Min's three-pointer and the performance of the rest of the Chinese team made them feel threatened.

James still tried his best to press and defend Liu Han, but he didn't dare to press too hard. In short, this kind of handling is very difficult. If you press too close, you may be missed by Liu Han and your teammates will not have time to defend. Relax and worry about Liu Han Directly shoot a three-pointer.

But this time James did a good defensive position and didn't give Liu Han too much space.

After Liu Han dribbled the ball twice, he didn't stick the ball too much. He passed the ball to Yi Jianlian who was outside the three-point line.

After a period of discomfort and tension, Yi Jianlian gradually found the feeling. After taking the ball, he moved along the trend, and then passed the ball to Liu Han again. At the same time, he came to a 45-degree angle in time, trying to move Anthony, who defended him, was taken away.

However, Anthony did not have the willingness to defend the rookie of the Chinese team. He directly chased Liu Han, trying to hug Liu Han to death with James.

However, Liu Han was very clever and passed the ball to Yi Jianlian with a behind-the-back pass after Yi Jianlian opened his position.

Yi Jianlian hesitated a little after receiving the ball, but seeing that Anthony did not return to defend and the bottom line defender did not come over, he decided to make a shot himself.

However, Yi Jianlian's hesitation made his shot a little shorter, and the ball bounced directly to the ground in the three-second zone after hitting the front of the basket.

Yao Min was about to take the ball down, but Duncan beside him hugged the basketball at the same time. Although they both touched the ball, the ball was not controlled by any of them, and the basketball bounced again.

After all, Duncan's reaction speed was faster than Yao Min's. He moved ahead of time to block Yao Min's position and planned to grab the ball.

But at this moment, Liu Han suddenly sped up and got rid of James' diagonal stab. He poked the ball lightly with his fingertips before Duncan.

Liu Han's poke was very clever. The ball just flew over Duncan's head and flew into the hands of Yao Min behind him.

Duncan's first reaction was very quick. He turned around and decided to cut the ball directly, risking a foul, planning to take a gamble, but after catching the ball, Yao Min didn't dunk the ball with both hands. Get the ball into the basket.

The ball was scored, and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time. Duncan's gamble failed, and Yao Min got a chance to add a penalty.

Yao Min, who has the opportunity to play two plus one, is very excited. He watched Liu Han's finals when he was still participating in the Nike Basketball Summer Camp. At that time, he thought about how great it would be to cooperate with Liu Han one day. Well, now he can finally help his idol.

Duncan, who was beaten into two plus one, didn't show any fluctuations in expression, but his slightly widened eyes showed the fluctuations in his heart.

Yao Min took the ball from the free throw line calmly, and he was not soft at the critical moment. He helped Liu Han with his scoring and protection of the inside defense.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the Chinese team returned to a three-point lead.
