Chapter 1372 Final, vs Team USA

At this point the game is already in the second quarter.

The Chinese team is 9 points behind, which is not too much, but there are a lot of mistakes. Except for Meng Yun, the other players are obviously a bit stretched against the American players. If you dribble a little more, you will be in danger of being intercepted. There is also the US team's sudden full-court pressing tactics and sudden double-teaming. The Chinese team is prone to mistakes in passing the ball. It is a counterattack for the opponent to seize the opportunity.

Fortunately, Meng Yun and Xiang Long still performed well, so the point difference is only 9 points.

"Teaming!"

The U.S. team double-teamed Meng Yun. Meng Yun split the ball and passed it to Zhai Xiaochuan. Zhai Xiaochuan dribbled two steps, but almost lost the ball. He didn't dare to dribble more, and quickly passed it to Xiang Long.

Xiang Long caught the ball and made a three-pointer, but failed to make it.

Meng Yun frowned. He actually played well against teams like Spain and Australia. Although the physical fitness of Spanish and Australian players is also very good, the main reason is not physical talent, but outstanding performance. Tacit understanding, tactical cooperation, and overall strength.

But even when encountering a team like the U.S. team that doesn't have much tactical cooperation or tacit understanding, but the players are all physically talented, the Chinese team is at a disadvantage.

Because the opponent just eats the body and fights, it will not give you the opportunity to display your technical ability.

So from the beginning of the game, the Chinese team fell into a disadvantage.

In a blink of an eye, the second quarter is over.

The Chinese team trailed by 11 points.

In the eyes of many people, this is already good, because many times before, they lost dozens of points when they met the US team, but Meng Yun was not satisfied.

Into the second half.

Meng Yun came to the front court and saw Brown coming up, Meng Yun suddenly changed direction, Brown retreated quickly, but Meng Yun jumped up directly and shot a three-pointer.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

Tens of seconds later, Meng Yun used the cover to throw off the defender and cut inside. The ball was in Xiang Long's hands. He didn't pass the ball to the ground, because Meng Yun gave him a gesture, pointing his finger up to the sky.So Xiang Long pushed with both hands and passed the ball to the top of the basket. Turner jumped up and wanted to catch the basketball, but suddenly felt a darkness above his head.

Meng Yunfei jumped up, crossed the basket with both hands, and grabbed the basketball on Turner's head, and then his body seemed to break away from gravity suddenly, and he paused in the air.

Bang!
The next moment, Meng Yun dunked the ball into the basket.

Turner shook his head helplessly. He had tried his best, but Meng Yun jumped too high, completely surpassing himself. It was too late to stop such a direct lob.

Then Xiang Long also broke out, scoring points again and again.

Under the excellent performance of Meng Yun and Xiang Long, the Chinese team gradually narrowed the point difference. After halfway through the third quarter, Meng Yun made a three-pointer and caused a foul. Steadily hit three free throws, and the Chinese team overtook the score in one fell swoop.

66:65, the Chinese team leads by 1 point.

"Leading ahead."

"Okay, that's it, come on!"

"Team China, come on! Team China, come on!"

The fans were excited and shouted loudly.

This is the first time that the Chinese men's basketball team has taken the lead in this game. Although it is only 1 point ahead, it is enough to excite the fans.

The U.S. team was on the bench, and Coach Cole said beside Popovich: "Have you noticed that Meng Yun seems to be playing better against Australia, Spain, and Argentina today than before."

"Yeah." Mr. Bobo nodded, thought for a while, and said: "It's not surprising, because we give the opponent a lot of physical confrontation and defensive pressure. In order to reduce mistakes, the opponent mostly has the ball in Meng Yun's hands, so Naturally, Meng Yun takes more shots. Also, have you noticed that Meng Yun faces different players of ours, chooses different attack methods, and finally has different finishing methods."

"Huh, that's true." Coach Cole raised his eyebrows. "Doesn't this mean that he knows our players very well, understands their technical characteristics, and even their defensive habits, so he can be so targeted."

"That's right." Mr. Popo said: "Obviously that's the case. He knows our players very well, even including their defensive habits, so every time he plays singles, he is very targeted and plays very cleverly. Before Meng Yun did not show this in the few games, because there were not only NBA players in those teams, but also some non-NBA players, or players who had already left the NBA, and Meng Yun was not familiar with them."

Cole nodded and frowned again: "But, we have so many players, so many players in the NBA, how did Meng Yun know them so well? This is definitely not just looking for information temporarily, just watching the game video."

Popovich said: "So there is only one explanation. He usually observes these players when they play against each other in the NBA, and it seems that he observes a wide range of players. Although it is impossible to observe every player in the NBA, But he should pay attention to players with certain strength."

Coach Cole looked at the court, and his eyes fell on Meng Yun, feeling a little unbelievable. Is this really the case?I have never seen such a player.

In fact it is.

Meng Yun has a habit, that is, the first thing to do during a game is to observe the opponent. However, in the Basketball World Cup, many players in the previous teams played against Meng Yun for the first time. Meng Yun didn't have much time to observe. Can't conclude anything.

But each of these players on the US team has played against Meng Yun at least several times. Meng Yun has enough time to observe and summarize, so he knows them well enough.

Of course, as Mr. Popovich said, with so many players in the NBA, it is impossible for Meng Yun to observe everyone, then summarize and keep them in his mind.Let alone whether it can be done or not, there is no need for that. Many players are weak, and they don't even have the chance to play against Meng Yun. What are they doing?
However, even if these players on the US team are not at the All-Star level, they are all well-known, and their strength is not weak. Meng Yun usually observes and analyzes them.

So there is such a situation, playing against the US team Meng Yun is actually better and more efficient than playing against teams such as Spain, Australia, and Argentina.

It's just that there is only one Meng Yun after all.

Shortly after the Chinese team overtook the score, the US team overtook the score back again, regaining the lead and maintaining it until the end of the third quarter.

At this time, the US team led by 7 points.

"Still behind."

"We are still at a disadvantage against the US team, especially in physical fitness, the gap is a bit big."

The players on the Chinese team were a little disappointed. They defeated Spain and Australia, but they were still at a disadvantage against the US team, not their opponents.
