Four Hundred and Fifty-Nine. We Are Not Afraid of Losing
20+8+4...
Those who didn't know this data thought it was the whole audience's data, but it turned out to be just a single quarter's data!
Sun Ce can play so well, one thing is very important, compared with other countries, the US team has a single defensive method!
Because the U.S. team plays in accordance with the NBA's style of play, it doesn't mean that the defensive effect is not good. Their individual defense is undoubtedly the strongest among the 24 participating countries in the World Championships.
But there are few zone defenses, and they are used to flanking. It is too difficult to limit Sun Ce, who is currently rated at the S+ level for temporary ability evaluation.
This is very important to Sun Ce. There is not even a single player on the US team who really understands the FIBA rules, and they hardly take advantage of the advantages that their lineup should have.
In fact, they beat Spain by 11 points in the final in 2008, and they didn't take advantage of the zone defense advantages of so many of their defensive players under FIBA rules.
This is not something that can be done in just one training camp. Just like Sun Ce, if the Grizzlies hadn’t had Gasol as the core of their defense and had a zone defense in their defensive system, he wouldn’t have been able to adapt to the zone defense of the national team. The team as a whole did not have the habit of playing zone defense, and there was no good way to deal with Sun Ce's breakthrough except flanking, so the Chinese team scored 40 points in a single quarter!
But... listening to the wild cheers of the fans, Sun Ce's mood is a bit complicated. There are so many problems now!
Sun Ce went wild in the first quarter. He scored half of the team's points alone. He almost had to fight for every goal. His physical strength had already shown a tendency to decline.
This came earlier than he expected!
But thinking about his own style of play...he felt that this should indeed be the case, the S-level burst out in stages, did not enhance physical strength, and was still A-level endurance.
And he is different from Durant with A-level endurance. Durant is the offensive end point of the US team, and the offensive end is only responsible for shooting.
On the offensive end, Sun Ce has to play both singles and organize offenses, and also has to grab rebounds...
In order to bring out the roles of two pitchers, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu, Sun Ce is really like a nanny.
Sun Ce opened the item space, two physical potions...
The time it takes is earlier than expected!
But you have to!
After one game,
Sun Ce's mentality is completely different!
He knows that as long as he maintains his strength, with his S+ level strength, he can lead a group of pitchers to smash the opponent!
Not to mention him, even James, who may not be as good as him now, can destroy this American team with a few pitchers! Of course, if it is James, it may be necessary for FIBA to also change the rules about layup steps.
However, a top-level superstar who can break through and has the S+ level ability evaluation of medium and long-range shooting ability, the strongest player on this team is Durant, who has just finished his third year, and the US team can't stop it!
Really have a chance to win!
If he can win the US team, even just one game, not to mention whether there are any rewards, even if the rewards for several future events are reversed, Sun Ce is willing!
This is something that can be blown for a lifetime!
use it!
With a thought in Sun Ce's mind, a system notification came.
"The host uses the physical potion (charged version), and the physical strength is restored to the best state."
Sun Ce felt the exhaustion of his body disappear, and he couldn't wait for the second quarter!
...
The coaching staff of the Chinese team was frightened by Sun Ce's outburst today. Deng Huade shouted 666 for the whole quarter, but now there is a problem in front of them.
It seems that there is a chance to overwhelm the US team, but Sun Ce's physical strength... This is indeed a problem. This style of play consumes a lot more than usual, and it is estimated that he will not be able to maintain the 30-plus minutes of playing time in the previous game.
But if Sun Ce doesn't fight, he will definitely not be able to compete with the opponent, let alone lead.
At this time, Sun Ce walked over from the bench and said, "Let me continue playing."
"But your physical strength..." Guo Shiqiang said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, I just want to play this game well. If we don't take the lead in the front and are overtaken by them or even after the overtake, it will be useless for me to have physical strength behind me. We need to maintain this impact. Give me Teammate confidence! Anyway, it doesn't matter if we lose, if we win... Teacher Guo, don't you want to win?"
What Sun Ce said... it touched Guo Shiqiang's heart!
He dreamed of winning the US team! Even as a teaching assistant!
Guo Shiqiang communicated with Deng Huade for a while, and Deng Huade also supported Sun Ce's point of view.
Deng Huade didn't think they had a chance to win against the United States at first, and they might be able to compete for a while, but he never thought that they would be able to lead by a quarter!
Anyway, if you lose, you lose, and if you win, it's an exciting game, just be casual and let Sun Ce go!
The Chinese team sent a lineup of Sun Ce, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Ding Jinhui, and Wang Zhizhi.
Yao Ming continued to rest, and Yi Jianlian had to rest for a while after playing the first quarter. He was replaced by Ding Jinhui, a 20-year-old young player who dared to fight, and Wang Zhizhi.
The insiders rotated among the four today, trying to change.
In addition to Sun Ce, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, and Sun Yue, the three best shooters in China at the World Championships, will rotate in pairs. They don't consider anyone else, so they are betting on tonight's game!
...
For the American team, Durant, who scored 12 points and 2 rebounds in 10 minutes in the first quarter, was replaced for a rest. Their core offensive end points became Granger and Curry. Under FIBA rules, they Both are A-level players with wide shooting areas, but Curry lacks experience and poor defense; Granger lacks athletic ability, poor ball handling and passing.
But there is no doubt that the US team led by the double-scoring arrow is still strong!
The lineup of Curry, Iguodala, Granger, Love, and Odom played.
Old Coach K looked at the double-pointing arrows of Curry and Granger... He really didn't expect that Curry, the skinny student he looked down upon and rejected, could average 18 points per game in his rookie season in the NBA. See lost sight...
The current lineup has Curry + Granger's double scoring arrows, Iguodala and Odom organize the offense, plus Love who can open up the three-point shot in the international arena. The old coach K has no worries on the offensive end. .
The problem is the defensive end, this lineup, Curry + Love two defensive black holes...
Fortunately, it was the opponent's super genius who broke out in a mess. With the style of play in the first quarter, it was obvious that the last two minutes were not as fierce as before.
Physical strength does not mean that you will definitely get better if you rest for a few minutes. It is possible to rest for a while, and the strength you were holding on before may disappear because of the rest for a while!
As long as the opponent's super genius' physical strength declines, the old coach K doesn't care about the difference of 8 points!
...
...
The intermission is over and the second quarter begins.
The Chinese team is very excited!
And there is no such mentality of worrying about gains and losses that they may win. They have a deep-rooted idea-they can't beat the US team.
But if you have a chance to win, you must fight to the end! Don't be afraid of failing at all!
And the idea of daring to fight with the US team is that they have Sun Ce as the core of their offense!
Team USA Attacks!
After Curry advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Sun Ce stepping on the three-point line to defend. Instead of continuing to advance, he shot directly from a distance of more than one meter from the three-point line!
Quite bold, Rao even Sun Ce didn't expect it!
Looking at Curry's shining green hairband, Sun Ce had a thought: This little brother hasn't washed his hairband for a year, right? How do you feel about wearing it every day?
It was indeed too far away, and Sun Ce didn't even make a move to pounce on it, because it was too late.
Curry's long-range three-pointer can be regarded as a hollow hit in the NBA!
35 to 40, the US team once again narrowed the point difference to 5 points!
Sometimes, this person always likes to analyze a matter with preconceived ideas. For example, Sun Ce did not rush to defend Curry. From the perspective of the people on the US team, it was the old coach K who was right. Sun Ce After playing so hard in the first quarter, his physical strength declined.
Seeing Sun Ce receiving Sun Yue's serve and advancing, Iguodala felt that it was dawn! As long as Sun Ce is not as aggressive as in the first quarter, he is confident to block Sun Ce's breakthrough!
Seeing Sun Ce getting close to the three-point line and starting to accelerate his breakthrough, Iguodala immediately blocked it...
Got passed again!
Iguodala's defensive action was too obvious, Sun Ce pulled the ball, exploded and accelerated to the fastest speed, and rushed directly into the front of the basket!
Le Fu didn't even have the courage to go up and block it. He stood on the left side of the three-second zone and watched Sun Ce rush into the inside and take off...
Odom was thinking about the quasi-second-year player on the opposite side that Coach K said was exhausted, they were going to win, which girl should he find to go back to the hotel tonight, the girl from Ankara was reserved on the surface, but her heart was suppressed and fiery...Suddenly I saw a red No. 8 jersey flying towards my face!
Sun Ce went straight to the basket without hindrance, and smashed the ball into the basket through Odom!
The little overlord strikes again!
Just because you don't jump high doesn't mean you don't buckle hard!
As long as it's an outside line and an inside line, no matter how you look at it, it's fierce!
After Sun Ce landed, he immediately retreated amidst the wild cheers of the fans, and Odom, who was detained, didn't know what happened...
"What's wrong?"
Odom was still in a state of distraction until he was dunked, and he didn't even realize that he was dunked!
Just like him when he was dunked by his opponent on the inside during the Clippers, he still laughed and regarded the opponent as a teammate... Just like him when the Lakers passed the ball to Vujacic who was standing on the sidelines in a training uniform... Just like him during the Heat Partnered with Wade and sent the ball to a former Clippers teammate... blah blah blah, exactly the same!
But it doesn't matter, the old coach K on the sidelines is a little confused...it's unscientific!
Love has no defensive ability and Odom tends to be distracted. The old coach K has expected it, but why is Sun Ce as fierce as he was at the beginning of the game!
Compared with the old coach K sitting on the sidelines, Iguodala who was facing Sun Ce was the most frightened. He watched the playoffs between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks... He felt that the things Nowitzki experienced must be Repeated on him!
