The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

In the locker room of the US team, the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Although it has been mentioned countless times, the US team has already regarded the Chinese men's basketball team as one of the biggest enemies in the international arena when Jeremy Lin announced his renunciation of American citizenship and returning to Chinese nationality, but neither the players nor the coaches have ever thought about the situation How could it be so bad!

At the end of the three quarters, the US team fell behind by 3 points! You must know that this is not the dream team that lacked a large number of top players to join in 2006!

Although the 2016 Rio Olympic Dream Team is not the top lineup compared to previous Olympic Dream Teams, there are still three players in the current season's best first team. The team is not an exaggeration at all.

But it is such a team, facing the Huaxia men's basketball team that has never broken through the top 8 of the Olympic Games before, but has been beaten all the time, only relying on the depth of the lineup to bite the score, this is simply a shame!

"No matter what! Hao Peng must be restrained! If we continue to let him tear our position inside, we may really lose this game!"

Old K's voice is serious and heavy.

Regardless of winning or losing this game, the Huaxia men's basketball team will become the biggest opponent of the dream team in this Olympic Games! The level of threat even exceeds that of Spain and Argentina!

...

In the locker room of the Huaxia men's basketball team, Wang Xiao didn't say much, but just asked the players to rest and recover as much as possible.

The lack of main players is the biggest problem for the Huaxia men's basketball team. At present, the average playing time of the team's starting five is nearly 5 minutes longer than that of the US team.

Don't underestimate these 5 minutes, even if it is converted into a turn-back run every 24 seconds, you have to perform 12.5 times in 5 minutes, and the straight-line distance is 350 meters. The running position, as well as the physical consumption of physical contact such as blocking positions and grabbing rebounds.

Even a player like Jeremy Lin, who has been used to the high-intensity game rhythm by playing in the NBA all the year round, can't stand it, let alone other people.

At the same time, the player's foul situation is not optimistic.

Wang Meng, who mainly guarded James, had already committed 4 fouls by the end of the third quarter. That is to say, if he fouled once more, he would be sent off the court. He had to be careful when facing James in the fourth quarter. There cannot be any excessive movements.

In addition, Hao Peng, as the pillar of inside defense, has to face all breakthroughs from the outside. The defensive task is heavier than Wang Meng. At this time, he also committed 3 fouls and only 2 chances before being sent off. ,

It can be said that the fourth quarter will be the biggest challenge for the Huaxia men's basketball team. Only by overcoming the above-mentioned difficulties can they have a chance to beat the US team.

In these aspects, tactics can play little role, mainly depends on the individual performance of the players, Wang Xiao just emphasized the problem of fouls with Wang Meng Hao Peng.

Soon, the short break is coming to an end.

Wang Xiao stood up, looked around at the players in the locker room, and said in a deep voice: "The next step is to determine the final outcome, and it is also a critical moment that directly determines whether we can win gold in this Olympic Games! Although this is only a small A small group stage, but only by defeating the US team here, surpassing the US team, and reaching the knockout round or the final, will we have a chance to beat the US team again! Success or failure depends on this!"

...

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the players of the two teams returned to the field.

Wang Xiao's Huaxia men's basketball lineup is still the starting set, Jeremy Lin, Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, Yi Jianlian and Hao Peng.

On the other side of the US men's basketball team, some adjustments have been made.

James, as a small forward, directly appeared at the point guard position, Thompson served as a shooting guard, George was at the small forward position, Durant still played power forward, and the center was Dunn, who was mainly defensive. .

In the first three quarters of the game, Old K tried to let the three point guards in the team try it on the court. As a result, whether it was Irving, Lillard or Lowry, they were all in a state of being unilaterally suppressed when facing Jeremy Lin.

As a frequent visitor to the best defensive team, Jeremy Lin may not be able to completely suppress the top point guards such as Curry, Paul, and Westbrook, but it seems a bit easy to face weaker point guards such as Irving and Lillard. freehand.

Simply, the old K replaced the point guard and directly let point forward James play the point guard in the last quarter.

This arrangement instantly raised the overall height of the US team to a level, and there was no player under 2 meters on the field.

Fortunately, the average height of the Huaxia men's basketball team is not low. Except for Jeremy Lin who is 1.93 meters, the other players are also over 2 meters.

...

James came to the point guard position, and his defender was replaced by Jeremy Lin.

This is a good thing for the Huaxia men's basketball team. After all, although Wang Meng defended James very successfully, he only allowed James to take 9 shots and hit 3 goals in the three quarters, scoring only 10 points, but the price was 4 fouls. If James strengthens his offensive firepower, there is no guarantee that Wang Meng will not be sent off for the fifth foul.

Although George is not easy to deal with, his playing style and style of play are different from James after all. If you are careful, it is definitely safer than playing against James.

As for Jeremy Lin's match against James, it's not impossible to fight.

As we all know, in 2010, the Heat formed the Big Three to hit the championship. As a result, they faced the Mavericks in the finals and finally fell into the sand.

And in which series, the two heroes who defended James were Jason Kidd and Sean Marion.

Kidd, who was already 38 years old at the time, was even more efficient in guarding James than Marion, an expert in perimeter defense. Before the match against the Heat, Kidd also defended Kobe of the Lakers and the Thunder in the Western Conference finals and semifinals. Durant, the effect is outstanding.

Although there were many factors behind Kidd's success in single-handed defense against James at that time, for example, James himself was not in good shape, and for example, James had not yet developed low-post offensive skills at that time and could only rely on the outside to break through the offense, but even this was not enough Kills Kidd's ability to defend.

The 38-year-old Kidd is still like this, let alone Jeremy Lin who is at his peak at this time?

Facing the current James who has developed low-post offensive skills and is stronger than 10 years ago, Jeremy Lin can at least limit James' performance on the outside.

As for the low-post offense that has gradually become James' usual technique, Jeremy Lin really has no way to do it due to the difference in height and weight, but it doesn't matter, he can't guard against Hao Peng!

In the low position, Hao Peng is a mountain standing in front of all opponents!
