Chapter 1020 1020. Come one by one!

After the timeout, players from both teams returned to the court, and the American team attacked.

Paul and Kwame Brown started a pick-and-roll attack, Anthony opened up the space at a 45-degree angle, Kobe moved to respond, and Wade found an opportunity to cut in... The ball finally came to Wade, and Wade cut in to catch the ball, attracting Yao Ming.

After paying attention, he sent a lob, and Kobe scored two points with an alley-oop and dunk.

Liu Xiu ran back to receive the serve, his eyes moving back and forth between Kobe and Wade.

When he was watching the US team's game earlier, he discovered that Kobe and Wade were very comfortable working together.

It seems to be more comfortable to work with than the Janeway combination that reached the finals for 4 consecutive years in the original time and space.

Now it seems that it is not how suitable James is, but that Wade and a powerful swingman will be very suitable.

Wade is willing to give in!

Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt and saw that guarding the top arc was...Paul.

He thought Wade would be the one to defend him, but the opponent tried to defend him with James and couldn't.

The defensive characteristics of the two are similar. Physical confrontation is more important than skills. When physical fitness begins to decline, defense is like eating ice cream when the aunt comes. It will be difficult after the age of 30.

It's understandable without Wade's defense.

But even though Kobe and Kidd can't guard them, they can still provide the most basic interference!

Paul…

Liu Xiu's crushing breakthrough!

Paul's little moves and defensive skills that Old K was looking forward to didn't even have any room to display, and he was directly crushed by Liu Xiu!

Liu Xiu suddenly went inside and stepped for a layup...and hit it again!

16 to 8, the Chinese team still leads by 8 points!

And in less than half a quarter, Liu Xiu had already scored 10 points.

Next, the U.S. team scored two more goals. Anthony caught the ball from the wing and hit a three-pointer. Paul hit a high jumper after a pick-and-roll, scoring 5 points.

Replacing the pick-and-roll ball handler with shooting skills, Old K's adjustment played a very good role in the US team's offense, easily breaking the effective defensive strategy that the Chinese team had worked hard to prepare.

If the ball handler in the pick-and-roll has the ability to shoot, there is no need to worry about the pick-and-roll and the pick-and-roll being tossed around in the top arc and no one will care. If one has the ability to shoot and the other has the ability to attack the frame, it is an effective pick-and-roll.

The trio of pick-and-roll partners is also very suitable for Paul and Kwame Brown.

But the Chinese team scored 6 points during this period...

After Liu Xiu released the ball, he ran around the pile and hit a three-pointer from the wing with the help of a screen. He then rushed inside and passed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming received the ball, turned and hit the hook, causing Kwame Brown to foul.

Halfway through the first quarter, 22 to 13, the Chinese team's lead expanded to 9 points!

The U.S. team called its second timeout in half a quarter!

…

Old K discovered that he had made a serious mistake.

When choosing a pick-and-roll ball handler, he chose Paul instead of Deron.

The reason for choosing Paul is simple. He thinks Paul is stronger and he likes Paul better.

The other was that he didn't take Liu Xiu's 8 points into consideration at the start... to be precise, he deliberately didn't care.

He has studied the performance of the Chinese team in the group stage many times. The game in which the Chinese team defeated the Spanish team was his focus.

Based on his judgment, he repeatedly emphasized during the preparation stage that if Liu Xiu started to surge, he must not be frightened and cannot follow the Chinese team in singles to avoid the team's offense from stagnating.

To put it simply, it’s just Liu Xiubiao, let him be crazy, rely on the team to compete and get through it.

The team members seemed unable to understand this idea at first, but after his repeated emphasis, the team members accepted this strategy.

Now, only halfway through the first quarter, their team only scored 13 points, while the opponent Liu Xiu scored 13 points alone. Old K finally woke up!

That guy can really do it!

Too cruel!

If we continue to play like this, the Olympic single-game scoring record will definitely become obsolete!

After waking up, he discovered something he had 'forgot' before.

They are not the Spanish team!

The Spanish team only has Navarro, Fernandez, and Gasol who can compete with Liu Xiu and Yao Ming in singles. On their side, except for Kwame Brown, Prince, and Kidd, the other 9 players can all play in the NBA.

Average 20+!

After losing three consecutive World Series, the American Basketball Association internally proposed that the team that won the NBA championship should directly let the team that won the NBA championship play in the Olympics and World Championships, or give the club money.

This proposal once received majority support, but was ultimately rejected.

The first is the NBA championships in the past four seasons, which are the Trail Blazers and Pistons. If you choose these two teams, first of all, there will be one less star player.

Even if the past few years are an exception, if a purely defensive team like the Spurs wins the championship, they will encounter Liu Xiu, Yao Ming, Ginobili, Scola, Gasol, and Arroyo in the international arena.

What should I do if I wait for someone else?

In the end, I copied Mengyi's approach and gathered a bunch of stars.

Isn't making such a choice just to prepare for the situation at hand?

In the end, he actually forgot about this incident, cut off his arm, and used team attack and individual attack to fight against the invincible warden?

The players returned to the bench, and Old K gathered his emotions. Now is not the time to regret making wrong decisions.

He had to react immediately.

Knocking on the star, right?

This time, he is not afraid!

…

The U.S. team sent a combination of Hinrich, Kobe, Prince, Bosh, and Howard.

Liu Xiu played together with Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi.

Looking at the lineup on the opposite side, Liu Xiu knew that the other side had reacted.

Even though the U.S. team has many stars, it really can't compete with Spain and Argentina in terms of team offense.

The U.S. team's defeat of these two teams relied on the individual abilities of its stars.

At the beginning of tonight, I was fighting against them as a team...

At first, he was also curious as to why the opponent didn't fight for the star when he got angry, but there were so many things that were difficult to understand, so he seized the opportunity to catch the opponent and beat him severely.

After the timeout ended, the referee blew the whistle to continue the game. Liu Xiu withdrew his attention and concentrated on the game.

Yao Ming was replaced and rested. Liu Xiu no longer went to defend Kobe from the top of the arc, leaving Wang Shipeng to defend.

Resolutely not guarding him, Kobe rushed to the right side of the three-second zone and hit a jump shot with one step!

Looking back, Liu Xiu broke through and passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi, who was on the left side of the three-second zone. Wang Zhizhi passed the ball again, and Yi Jianlian dunked and scored two points.

The little prince's miserable face became even more bitter. He was simply not good at guarding against a speedy defender like Liu Xiu.

The speed gap is too big. He and Marion, Kirilenko, Bowen and others are more suitable for guarding opponents in positions 2-4.

In fact, he was prepared to be beaten into a sieve. The task assigned to him by the head coach was only to cover Liu Xiuzhong's long-range shooting space.

But the opponent's breakthrough was far more sharp than he expected. The starting point was even more impressive than Wade's, and there was no time to interfere with what Liu Xiu would do after he broke in.

This was only possible if Kobe and Hinrich moved in advance to force Liu Xiu to pass the ball.

However, not only Prince was suffering, Hinrich and Kobe were also frustrated.

If Liu Xiu wanted to get an assist directly from this ball, with Hinrich and Kobe encircling him, and Howard guarding the basket, they might really be able to defend it.

But who knew that Liu Xiu, a super strong and fast breakthrough master, would not be greedy for assists!

I'm really not used to the perimeter trio that played 7 games for Team USA.

Kobe picked up the ball and sent it to Hinrich. Hinrich slowly advanced and said: "I didn't expect this to happen..."

Kobe didn't wait for Hinrich to finish speaking, nor did he respond. He sped up and ran forward.

He did not expect that such a situation would arise, that a group of them would be pressed down and beaten by one person!

But now he needs to adjust his mentality, change his thinking, and not be affected by Hinrich's negative emotions.

Fortunately, Hinrich is very mature, and after reaching the frontcourt, he well directs the movement, and then gives the ball to Kobe.

Kobe's eyes became firm again. Originally, he planned to try to see if he could limit the Chinese team's offense. Now he has no illusions. He will attack as hard as he can. Who is afraid of who?

Kobe plays the main attack in singles, Hinrich assists from the outside + supports, Prince takes the mid-range shots and cuts into the attacking frame, Bosh takes the shots + Kobe attacks in singles when he needs to rest for a round, Howard rushes and eats the pie, the play style is simple and rough.

But the firepower is extremely fierce!

Kobe's fierce attack needs to slow down for a while, and it is not necessary to let Kobe rest on the court. Someone from the American team, Old K, directly replaced Kobe and replaced him with Anthony as the main attacker. Two international players who are great players took turns to attack.

In the next more than 4 minutes, the US team scored 21 points. After halftime, the US team's score increased to 36 points!
