Two three-pointers and a dunk almost completely changed Jiang Yan's image.
However, Jiang Yan has no thoughts to care about these matters now. After all, the game is the most important thing.
And now the situation on the court has begun to change.
Dream Team 4 and China Team, these two teams were originally teams that had no suspense. They were crushed by Dream Team 4 in every aspect.
But the Chinese team has a very strong character who is determined to take revenge, so the Dream Team 4 will definitely be different against the Chinese team.
At least, the teasing mentality is definitely gone, and the relaxed atmosphere of torturing food has begun to dissipate.
When fighting, you must not only focus on offense, but also always be on guard against being exploded.
When did our dream team suffer this kind of injustice?
As for the Chinese team, their confidence has also been demonstrated.
In their opinion, such a big muscle stick is still being buckled by Jiang Yan, so you are not the same.
Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Yan is more excited today than during training, which is exactly the opposite of what they feared.
It turns out that Jiang Yan is a competitive player!
You can’t show your true strength until the competition!
So Jiang Yan is already strong enough in normal times. If he is in such good condition today, how strong will he be?
In short, the mentality of both sides has changed, and the real game has just begun.
As the game continues, the next play style tends to be steady and steady, reducing the number of rounds, maintaining physical strength, and leaving it until the end.
At the same time, Jiang Yan also seized the opportunity to shoot a cold arrow, preventing the opponent from getting closer to the score.
There were back and forth between the two sides, but the score was barely open, and the score difference was still hovering around 8 points.
In terms of overall strength, Laos and the United States definitely have an advantage, but the Olympic men's basketball rules also give the Chinese team a lot of blessings.
There is no defensive three seconds in the Olympic rules, so the center can stand in it, which also limits many players who are good at breakthroughs.
On the offensive end, Jiang Yan's outside long shots are extremely intimidating, which gives the inside a lot of space.
This is completely different from the original time and space. Although the Chinese team in the original time and space is also strong on the outside, their shooting rate is not as terrible as Jiang Yan.
Look, Jiang Yan is holding the ball from the outside, and two people immediately come up to double-team him.
If there is no double team, Jiang Yan will directly shoot, and if he shoots, he will go in. But if there is a double team, one person will always miss.
Therefore, the Chinese team played very comfortably inside, but of course there were flaws. For example, at the beginning, the inside was still a little nervous and many goals were not scored.
The Dream Team 4 was indeed able to seize mistakes and counterattack, and because the Chinese team's insiders considered fouls, they did not defend against some balls.
So when the first ten minutes were about to end, the score was still not open.
This is actually good news, and another good news is that among the three major centers of the Chinese team, only Dayao has the most back-up fouls. He received two fouls.
Looking back at the Dream Team, although the number of fouls on the inside was about the same, three people on the outside fouled Jiang Yan.
Among them, Kidd only played twice. This guy has good organizational skills, but forget it in singles. When he met Jiang Yan, if NBA rules were followed, Jiang Yan could break him into a sieve today.
Therefore, for the Dream Team 4, the Chinese team's internal deterrent power is not locked up like in the original time and space, and the external deterrent power is not easily contained either.
The most important thing is that the number of rounds has been reduced to an extreme level.
In this way, the physical fitness is guaranteed. If they want to chase points, if they can't get up quickly, the Dream Team will have nothing to do.
So at the end of the first ten minutes, 26 to 17, the Chinese team still led by 9 points.
This is a jaw-dropping achievement.
The Chinese team leads the Dream Team!!
The sun is coming out in the west!
But the Dream Team didn’t panic at all.
Among the Chinese team's 35 points, Jiang Yan had 16 points, Da Zhi had 3 points, Dayao had 2 points, Hu Weidong had 2 points, and Sun Jun had 3 points.
It can be said that Jiang Yan is the main scoring point.
So head coach Tom directly made special adjustments. He told Payton:
"He will always be tired. The physical fitness of the yellow race has always been a problem. Even if he is not tired, you have to grind him until he is tired! Tell them, I agree with you to use any method, and you must beat the Chinese team hard today!"
Payton nodded, his eyes locked on Jiang Yan, like a wolf and a tiger.
If someone asks who is the strongest point guard in the NBA in the 1990s? Then Payton must be the choice of most people.
Payton was selected to the All-Defensive Team nine times in his career, tied for the most in history with Kobe, Jordan, and Garnett. He once defended Stockton without scoring a point in a game.
Payton's unique nickname "The Glove" comes from his defensive ability. During a game against the Suns, Payton defended the super-fast Kevin Johnson. Payton's brother called after the game.
Li praised Payton: "You stuck to him like a baseball glove!"
From then on, the name "glove" began to spread.
Payton is a very strong defensive player, even Jordan has a headache with him, so in the eyes of the US team players, just Joey will definitely be locked up.
Kobe on the sidelines also began to worry.
He had a reminder with Jiang Yan at the beginning.
On the outside of this Dream Team, what Jiang Yan needs to pay attention to most is Payton.
This is really a guy that gives him a headache.
So when Jiang Yan meets him, can the Chinese team's offensive continue?
At the same time, fans arriving in front of domestic TV sets also saw Payton facing off against Jiang Yan.
"It's a bit difficult for Payton to prevent Jiang Yan."
Some fans expressed concerns directly.
Ever since Da Zhi entered the NBA last year, all kinds of news about the NBA are a treasure trove in the eyes of old fans.
So for this dream team, old fans naturally know every one of them.
So Payton started to guard Jiang Yan, and he guarded the entire court in a pressing manner from the beginning.
Not to mention old fans, even viewers who don't understand will be sweating.
Fortunately.
Jiang Yan is still not worried.
At this time, Jiang Yan was dribbling the ball on the court. Looking at Payton who was staring at him fiercely, Jiang Yan remembered some past events.
Ah, it was still the iron-blooded era.
Payton.
What a player to hate and love.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He made Jiang Yan suffer a lot at first, and later he let him practice the "Shadowless Elbow" in obscurity.
Jiang Yan shook his head and sighed to Payton, who was guarding him: "Old friend, I'm glad to see you."
Payton: "Huh?"
boom!
There was a muffled sound.
Payton suddenly felt as if his ribs had been hit by a hammer.
It's not painful, but definitely uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, this fair and fair Joey would also do this?
This was one of the eighteen tricks used to besiege Gang Leader Qiao back then!
An electric light flashed through Payton's mind.
At the same time, I was thinking, this Joey is indeed no ordinary person.
This power is indeed strong enough!
However, this is of no use!
You use this method to squeeze me out of the way to create space.
But how do you take action with this little space?
While thinking about it, Payton had already followed Jiang Yan's footsteps.
However, Jiang Yan suddenly took a step back.
The space opened up instantly.
Unfortunately, Payton is also very human.
I can keep up!
However, by the time his hands were in place, the ball was already in the air.
And then there is.
brush!
Three points!
"How can it be!"
Payton's eyes widened.
This shooting speed is too fast!
"Wow, it looks like there's a hole in the glove!"
Jiang Yan spread his hands, glanced at Payton, and started to defend.
This trash talk is of no use to Payton, he is past the age of impulsiveness.
So in the next round, he did nothing and didn't think about fighting back.
After our team's Ray Allen returned a three-pointer, Jiang Yan once again attacked with the ball, and Payton used all his skills this time.
This time, he will make Jiang Yan unable to dribble smoothly.
He has the ability to do it, but Jiang Yan directly shouted tactics this time: "Tactics No. 8"
As soon as everyone in the team heard this, they immediately started taking action.
Jiang Yan also threw the ball to Hu Weidong and ran away directly.
"Are you afraid or do you want to play without the ball?"
Payton didn't have time to think, he just focused on following.
The coach said to use up his physical energy, and now Joey is running like this, which is exactly what he wants.
but...
Jiang Yan with the ball is scary, but Jiang Yan without the ball is even scarier!
Do you think the enhanced version of Curry is a joke?
Jiang Yan can take the initiative to take the ball and score, and he can also selflessly provide assists, but when running without the ball, it is simply a nightmare for the entire team.
And in this way, the number of rounds of the game will be reduced even lower.
So Jiang Yan was seen running left and right, weaving through the forest of people. When the time was almost up, Dayao stepped forward, leaving Jiang Yan two steps away.
Sun Jun, who was holding the ball, passed the ball very aggressively, and then his feet reached the three-point line when he reached the ball.
Payton is already very close to the ground.
But in this era before Curry came out, he really had never seen a three-pointer with a shooting speed of less than 0.3 seconds and a shooting rate that was so terrifying.
So I could only watch helplessly as Jiang Yan raised his knife and dropped it, another three points!
The score is 33 to 20, with 6 minutes left before halftime.
"Wardfa! Gary can't guard against him!"
Everyone in Dream Team 4 was very surprised.
Three-point shooter Ray Allen was even more surprised.
At this moment, he seemed to see a three-point shooter who was stronger than himself.
Where did this Joey come from? It’s really hard to figure out!
The audience inside the venue was very excited.
After all, they are here to watch football, and when watching football, excitement is the most important thing.
And seeing the arrogant Dream Team trailing by 13 points made me feel even better.
As for Jiang Yan, after his explosive performance at the beginning and his unparalleled cold-bloodedness, the audience immediately fell in love with him.
As for the "King of Pop", this has become a bonus.
