Chapter 342
"Shi Lei grabbed the cap and defended Wade's shot!"

This was one of the few times the national team successfully defended in this game, and the fans naturally did not forget to cheer Shi Lei.

The cheers from the fans made Shi Lei's drive with the ball even more powerful after he landed on the floor.

Shi Lei controlled the basketball swiftly and launched a counterattack.

The U.S. team has many players with good speed. There are Wade and Paul on the court, but Shi Lei doesn't give them a chance to be tight. He dodged the shot and was blocked by Wade. Paul, who was speeding up, got away. Although Wade soon caught up from behind, Shi Lei had already dribbled the ball not far from the three-point line of the US team.

Wade's defense came up, and Paul, who was thrown off, was only one step away from him, and Howard, who was physically fit, had also stepped over the center line.However, the national team, as the offensive side, lagged behind too much in terms of speed. Although Sun Yue, who was at the front, was desperately running towards the offensive half, he was only as good as Prince.

It was already impossible to have enough time to break through the defense, and he would soon be surrounded. After Shi Lei was almost close to the three-point line, he stepped up a little, and immediately shot a three-pointer.

It doesn't matter whether he gets in or not, as soon as the basketball left his palm, Shi Lei dodges and continues to run towards the basket of the US team.

Wade also reacted quickly, turning his head and chasing the basketball and throwing it into the penalty area.

But Shi Lei's height eventually became the decisive force.There was no winner in the speed competition, Shi Lei and Wade ran to the right position almost at the same time, and took off at the same time, but Shi Lei's taller body allowed him to snatch the offensive rebound with a slight advantage.

When he landed on the floor, Shi Lei didn't make any adjustments. He wanted to make a time difference, so he immediately jumped from the spot.

"careful!"

The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed.

"what!"

Finally returned to the basket in time, Howard roared, flew up from behind Shi Lei obliquely, and slapped the basketball in Shi Lei's hand with his big hand covering the sky.

Howard's physical fitness is really too strong, even though Shi Lei has tried his best to save the time of his shots, but after all, he was still a step behind.

Jumping up in mid-air, Shi Lei clenched his teeth, under the illumination of the light, the moment the shadow from behind him completely enveloped him, he suddenly shrank his body.

The basketball in Shi Lei's hand is Howard's prey, but now the position of the prey has changed, and all his actions are aimed at this. Howard has no time to make more adjustments. On top of his head, he walked past Shi Lei.

Like a dark cloud blown away by the wind, Howard's departure finally exposed the basket to the light again. Shi Lei, who was originally curled up, suddenly opened his body again, and with a light flick of his fingertips, When his body began to fall, he picked the basketball into the hoop.

After being pulled away by 23 points at halftime, the national team finally started their own journey of chasing points. Although they have only caught up to three points now, the gap between points is still huge, but for those who have goals, every A little bit of progress is enough to stimulate one's own energy.

Because of the two goals scored at the beginning of the third quarter and the outstanding performance of the two core players of the national team on both offensive and defensive ends, the national team finally returned to normal and showed its strength to reach the Olympic finals.

Under the defense of the national team, the US team's offense is no longer so easy, but this only ensures that the point difference will not continue to expand. Their kind can always rotate quickly, and they will not let the national team form. With a defense with a dislocation advantage, the shooting percentage of the national team, which is more outstanding in shooting, is not very high.

The real turning point of the game came in the fourth and a half minutes of the game. Yao Ming received Shi Lei's breakthrough and passed the ball. The hook at the basket caused Howard's defensive foul. After making a free throw, the point difference was narrowed to less than [-] points for the first time.

This is not the point, the point is that Howard committed four crimes!
Howard is the only orthodox big man on the U.S. team. The selection is more about fame than the role of the team, which makes the U.S. team taste the bitter fruit in the most important games.

Although they replaced Howard with Anthony to further enhance the team's offensive ability, Bosh, who reached the center position, is not an inside player who can carry the basket.

The national team launched a counterattack. With a huge advantage in rebounds, they played a wave of 2:11 within 4 minutes, closing the point difference to 12 points.

"Less than 4 minutes before the third quarter, the national team launched a wave of offensive climax and successfully chased the point difference to 12 points. The US team requested a timeout!"

The U.S. team replaced the main players on the sidelines for most of the game, Kidd, Kobe, and James, but their inside line was still partnered by Bosh and Anthony.

"The national team also made substitution adjustments, and Yunus roughly replaced Yi Jianlian!"

After replacing the main force, the perimeter of the US team has become stronger in terms of offense and defense. James, Kobe, and Kidd, who is a little older, all have good defensive capabilities, but this cannot make them The internal line has also become better.

Under the situation that he was being watched mainly for defense, Shi Lei reduced his breakthroughs and shifted the ball to the inside line more, and the inside line launched the attack independently.

Don't look at the lack of Shi Lei's organization in the national team, but their offense is smoother, because James, who is more suitable to enter the inside to help defend, is firmly attracted by Shi Lei to the outside, most of the time he can only look at the ball and sigh!
"At the end of the third quarter, although the US team replaced the main force, they still failed to expand their lead. In the second half of this quarter, the national team played very well inside. Before Yao Ming was spared by Bosh Defensively, when it was difficult to get the basketball, he roughly shouldered the heavy responsibility of the national team's offense, repeatedly broke through Anthony's defense and scored the ball, played the role of an old player at critical moments, and helped the national team win the score!"

In the case of the U.S. team's lineup with many flaws, the national team can barely bite the score. In the eyes of many people who understand basketball, the national team has no hope of winning. They did not have such a hope in the first place. .

So as soon as the third quarter ended and the players walked to the sidelines, the national team leader asked Yao Ming: "Can you still hold on physically? If not, don't hold on! Although the game is important, the body is more important!"
