Sure enough, after coming to the point guard position, James began to try to attack by himself.

He has also played against Jeremy Lin many times in the league. It is clear that Jeremy Lin's defense on the outside is the top, no less than Wang Meng, Leonard and others.

So James did not choose to attack from the outside, but went inside, trying to use his height and strength advantages to attack the basket.

But when he went to the basket, Hao Peng, who appeared just right, became an insurmountable mountain in front of him.

Even if he is as strong as James, he can't easily score against Jeremy Lin and Hao Peng, two of the league's top defenders at the same time.

And when James was double-teamed at the basket and tried to pass the ball out, he would find helplessly that the only one who was open was the inverse relationship between offensive ability and defensive ability, except for catching the ball at the basket and grabbing offensive rebounds Dunn, who has no scoring ability outside of the second offense.

In desperation, he could only attack by himself, and the result of this was that James' efficiency at the basket was extremely low, and he failed to carry the banner of offense in the final quarter.

Seeing that the situation could not be opened for a long time, Old K called timeouts to adjust the lineup one after another, but all had little effect.

As the game continued, although the players of the Huaxia men's basketball team were further depleting their physical fitness, their experience in dealing with the US team was also constantly enriched.

Especially the three core defensive players Jeremy Lin, Wang Meng, and Hao Peng, they are all quickly adapting to the rhythm of the US team.

At this time, the disadvantages of the US team's overly luxurious lineup began to emerge.

The fact that the whole team is a big name is not necessarily good sometimes, and sometimes there are some not-so-good things.

The simplest thing is that when a team is full of big-name ace players, when the game is anxious or critical, everyone in the team will subconsciously feel that it is themselves who have to stand up and lead the team.

After James was deflated inside, Durant stood up again and tried to help the team establish an advantage by scoring.

However, Durant's scoring efficiency was also affected when facing Wang Meng's savage and rough defense with almost brown sugar style. He only hit one goal in three mid-range shots, and even appeared once under Wang Meng's pressure. Mistakes are counterattacked and fast breaks are successful.

...

No one is willing to be a green leaf. Players on the court often only cooperate with simple passes and pick-and-rolls, and most of the offense relies on personal ability.

This is the problem of the US team, and it is also a problem that is difficult for anyone to solve. It is not so easy to persuade a group of all-star players to be willing to be green leaves and blue-collars for others.

"Huaxia men's basketball team!"

Old K looked at the game that was still going on on the field, with an extremely serious and dignified expression.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the performance of the Huaxia men's basketball team still exceeded his expectations time and time again.

At this moment, he really realized that the Huaxia men's basketball team really has the strength and ability to pull the US team down from the altar! If the American Dream Team failed to win gold in this Olympic Games, then the only possibility is to be defeated by the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team!

Taking a deep breath, Old K felt grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, the Chinese men's basketball team and the US men's basketball team were divided into a group. Fortunately, these two teams met in the opening game. If they met in the finals, the US men's basketball team might be caught off guard. It fell to the ground!

...

Although the U.S. team has been in a passive stage on the scene, in fact the scores of the two teams are still very close. The Huaxia men's basketball team only leads by about 5 points, and there is still some time in the fourth quarter.

The U.S. team has too many scoring points. Even if the scoring efficiency is not high, it is difficult for the Huaxia men's basketball team to open the score. It is linked to luck, and the side with better luck will win the final victory.

Facts have proved that this time Wang Xiao and the Huaxia men's basketball team had better luck.

With 2 minutes left before the end of the game, Hao Peng was double-teamed inside and made a mistake when passing the ball to the outside. The basketball was stopped and then deviated from the original route. Cheng Jie picked it up, but there was no defender in front of him.

Cheng Jie didn't hesitate, and directly pulled out his hand from outside the three-point line, and the basketball hit the net. The point difference, which had been narrowed to 3 points, once again expanded to 6 points.

Then, still on the offensive end, Jeremy Lin used his teammate's pick-and-roll to get to the basket and missed a throw. The basketball hit the top of the basket and flew up. In the hands of Hao Peng, who was grabbing the rebound under the basket, Hao Peng was not polite, and directly took off in two steps, and made a powerful dunk, further expanding the point difference to 8 points.

With 1 minute left in the game, the point difference between the two teams became 8 points, which basically declared the failure of the US team. Although there was some luck in these two lead times, if they failed to seize the opportunity, they would be defeated by the US team. If the team fights back, it is likely to become a tie or even overtake the score.

But the game was like this. In the last minute, Durant, Thompson and others took turns trying to shoot three-pointers from the outside by relying on foul tactics, but they all failed to hit. The last bit of suspense in the game ended like this.

97:88!

The audience watching the game on the sidelines and the fans in front of the TV were shocked by the result and were speechless.

The Huaxia men's basketball team actually won the American Dream Team! This is not a joke, is it?

However, the facts are right in front of us. Although the American Dream Team for the Rio Olympics is not in the strongest state, and top stars such as Curry, Leonard, Harden, etc. did not participate, they still have James, Duran With such a top-level configuration, looking at the whole world, it is still like a behemoth.

Today's Huaxia men's basketball team is certainly very strong, but in the eyes of most people, it can only pose a threat to the US team like Spain, but it is difficult to really shake the US team's dominance in the world.

But now it is different, although it is only a round of group match, the outcome is not crucial, but winning is winning! Even though the U.S. men's basketball team underestimated the opponent, even if there was some luck involved in the winning process, they still won!

The entire Huaxia audience who were following this game went crazy! It was boiling like boiling water!

Once upon a time, who would have imagined that the Huaxia men's basketball team could defeat an opponent like the US men's basketball team in the world arena?

The voice of the host of Huaxia Sports Station, who was in charge of broadcasting the match live, trembled with excitement.

"97:88, the Huaxia men's basketball team defeated the US team for the first time in history. This is a milestone scene. This victory will be recorded in history. It also represents that the Huaxia men's basketball team has rushed out of Asia and truly stood on the stage of the world's top teams. !"
