Chapter 1294 1293. The Nightmare of the American Team (Asking for Monthly Votes)

In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the US team relied on the Magic Bird and a group of superstars from the 1980s to make a name for themselves as the Dream Team.

But after 2000, the US team's Dream Team reputation gradually changed and became the "Nightmare Team".

Liu Mang used this to attack Wade and Battier!

"Ding... Level 4 of Evil Words Trigger: Invincible Language Attack Skill. The host's language attack will make the attacked player excited. Strong-minded opponents will want to challenge the host, and strong-minded teammates will be more motivated. Opponents and teammates with poor mentalities will be hit in self-confidence; opponents or teammates with excellent mentality will have a lower effect."

Battier was fine, but the word "nightmare" made Wade angry!

It was okay for the US team to lose the World Championships in 2002. They also lost in 1998. Although there were no NBA stars in 1998, and there was the final Yugoslavia in 2002, it was normal for the US team to lose.

But it was different in 2004. Yugoslavia had already disintegrated in 2004, and the Serbian-Montenegro team became a second-rate team. In addition, the 2004 Olympics was a competition for several big stars from the 2003 generation, including Wade, and then the worst record of the US team in the Olympics was refreshed.

After the 2004 Olympics, the name of the US team changed from the Dream Team to the Nightmare Team.

Trash talk doesn't need to be too vulgar or too low-end, as long as it hits the point!

Liu Mang was already known for his "tongue-in-cheek" reputation, and with the addition of Jordan's "bad words", Wade was pissed!

Wade asked James for the ball in the backcourt. James waved his hand and motioned to go over to play pick-and-roll. Wade said no! He just wanted the ball.

James could only give the ball to Wade, and after running to the frontcourt, he didn't know what to do.

James has no off-ball ability! Except for ball control and layup, he learned most of his skills in the NBA. He is the absolute core in the NBA. He has no time to practice without the ball. The Cavaliers don't need him without the ball. He is the most threatening one with the ball.

Wade went to the frontcourt and wanted to single out Liu Mang, and he broke through directly...

When Wade rushed over with the ball, Liu Mang gestured to Li Nan to come over, and the two double-teamed him!

Wade was blocked at the free throw line, and he didn't pass the ball, so he jumped up and shot!

Li Nan blocked the road, and Liu Mang jumped up suddenly and stretched out his hand to block the shot!

Wade was confident that he had a height advantage when jumping up. His 98 bounce was a little better than Liu Mang's, but Liu Mang's bounce also increased to the limit of 97 after eating the advanced bounce fruit! With the advantage of arm span and palm and defensive awareness, his hand covered the position where Wade shot.

Wade was forced to lean back and shot a cannon shot...

Three misses!

Yi Jianlian learned how to grasp the ball's landing point in the NCAA, allowing him to rush to the ball's landing point first and grab the defensive rebound in the case of physical confrontation!

After Liu Mang landed, Yi Jianlian quickly passed the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang launched a fast break!

James ran to the backcourt when Wade shot it out. It was a miracle that the ball could go in. When Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, James had retreated to the three-point line. Liu Mang continued to rush in. James quickly retreated to the basket. Liu Mang picked up the ball and started a strange rhythm change. After a slow-motion step to attract James to move sideways, the second step suddenly became faster and jumped up!

James was shaken away, but when Liu Mang slowed down, Wade rushed in to chase him and blocked him!

Liu Mang stayed in the air, took the ball back, and then stretched it out, and made a low-hand layup from the other side of the basket!

A large pull-up shot with a huge amplitude to avoid Wade's block!

This posture!

The No. 24 player who did not want to reveal his name secretly brought his two daughters and wife to Japan to watch the game between the US team and the Chinese team, his eyes widened!

This counterattack one-on-two pull-up action, except that the explosive power is a little worse, the rhythm changes are used instead of squeezing and forcing, which is exactly the same as him!

Or, it is exactly the same as Jordan!

19 to 10!

After the US team called a timeout, Liu Mang came back and played a 5-0 wave!

The US team called a timeout again!

Liu Mang received the ball that bounced on the floor, put his right hand behind his back, dribbled the ball with his left hand and said: "Dwyane, you are going to lose to me again, what should I do, should I let you? Let you use one hand and I will play with one hand?"

Wade ignored Liu Mang, he couldn't argue! He couldn't argue in all aspects! He couldn't even win the argument!

Wade and James are a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Larry Brown has planned many ways to defend Liu Mang. From the last Olympics to the most recent finals, Larry Brown has made many defensive arrangements. The US team has three different types of defensive players, James and Webber, and they are all good defensive players in international competitions. He is always confident in himself.

However, today, Liu Mang made fouls from the beginning, and now his play is very different from usual, so Larry Brown's defensive strategy is completely useless!

Larry Brown is very stubborn. The more he can't defend, the more he has to strengthen his defense, but he ignores the fact that the US team's offensive players can't defend either... If Larry Brown is not stubborn, the US team will not lose to Puerto Rico in the group stage in 2004.

Larry Brown didn't change James and Webber, the three defensive stalwarts, to an outside player with ball-holding threats, and kept them. Boozer, Kwame Brown, Howard, and Bosh, who are good at rebounding, rotated to grab rebounds or long-range shots in the interior.

It was obvious that they couldn't defend, but they didn't try to strengthen the offense. It was a huge mistake for the US team to call timeout twice!

Liu Mang took advantage of Jordan's card and started a fierce attack!

One-on-one on the outside, easy to play, one-on-two, using his own speed and Jordan's superb turning action to create good opportunities and shoot himself, so that his teammates under the basket can grab rebounds.

If the opponent defends well in one-on-two, Liu Mang himself doesn't have a good opportunity, so he passes the ball to Li Nan or Wang Shipeng. The two of them prepared well for this game and were full of energy. They didn't miss any opportunities for open shots, especially the better the sideline on Liu Mang's side, the more confident they are and the more accurate they shoot!

For role players, confidence is important! They played the same distance and shot the same in the Asian game, very accurately, and played the same feeling today!

On the defensive end, try to defend as much as possible, focusing on Battier's three-pointers and Wade's mid-range shots. James and Howard are great for being able to make mid-range and long-range shots. Bosh and Boozer, who are on the bench, can't do anything about their mid-range shots, but when these two are there, Yao Ming can stand in the three-second zone to catch the ball and shoot high!

In the second half of the first quarter, Liu Mang relied on a completely different style of play from the first half, making the US team feel like a nightmare is coming!

And the fans saw Liu Mang's back-to-the-basket, the counterattack under the basket, the one-on-one duel... The scene was already excited!
