Chapter 399 The Powerful American Team!
When they played before the game, everyone in the US team was almost taken aback.
Durant walked to Xu Xiang's side with an incredulous expression on his face: "Wang Tian~ Is this your home stadium? Why are there so many people?"
Today, the uniforms of the Chinese men's basketball team are still all red, while the American team is all gray.
And the home court is now basically submerged in a sea of red!
All the Chinese fans are wearing the uniforms of the Chinese team and holding high the five-star red flag.
As soon as Xu Xiang appeared on the stage, there was a burst of fierce cheers at the scene:
"Xu Xiang!"
"Xu Xiang!"
"Xu Xiang!"
Even the old coach K on the side looked sideways at this momentum.
"Xu, you're a bit scary, aren't you?" Cousins leaned over enviously, as if Xu Xiang's popularity was a bit scary, whether in the NBA or here.
"How did you do it?" Not only Cousins, but even the rest of the US team were a little curious.
Xu Xiang looked around, and raised the corner of his mouth arrogantly, "There is no one else, only handsome!"
Everyone: "."
Narcissist!
This game should be the game that has attracted the most attention so far in the Olympic Games.
The coaches of both sides are very nervous, especially the coach Gong.
Although his eyes were sunken, he still looked rosy and full of energy.
Yesterday he had received the "words" from the leaders of certain departments, at least the "slogan" they chanted is now considered complete.
"Baoyin wins gold", now even if you lose the game, you can still get a silver medal.
But it has reached this point, who doesn't want to continue to win?
Can be the first who wants to be the second?
And everyone can only remember the first, who will remember who is the second?
With the whistle of the referee, both sides sent out today's starters!
"Come on, come on, the game is about to start! This is definitely a historical moment worth remembering! The Chinese team reached the finals of the Olympic Games for the first time, and the opponent is the US team, which is so powerful that there is no limit!"
"That's right, there is no limit!"
"No one can defeat them! No one!"
"As long as they want to win! As long as they want to win! They will definitely win!"
Teacher Wang on the side hurriedly pressed Director Yang with his hands to prevent him from getting too excited.
"The lineup of the U.S. team this year is still as shining as ever. Durant, Irving, Anthony, Pickled Pepper, etc., which one is not an NBA superstar? Especially Pickled Pepper, who is also Xu Xiang's teammate. Together with him, they are called the "banana team."
"And Durant's reputation is no different from Xu Xiangli's."
"Let's be objective, it's still a bit difficult for the Chinese team to win."
Director Yang next to him calmed down and nodded: "There is still a gap in strength. After all, Xu Xiang is alone. Zhou Qi and Zhao Ping are still too young. On the contrary, Ah Lian may become Xu Xiang's most powerful helper!"
The opinions of the two commentators are the same on this point.
Zhao Ping and Zhou Qi played impressively, but that was because they had never encountered such a high-intensity opponent.
Although Ah Lian is a little older, and with Xu Xiang's rise, he has slowly lifted the burden on his shoulders, and his strength is likely to rise instead of decline!
And holding this idea is naturally more than these two explanations,
Coach Gong's strategy today is to use Xu Xiang and Ah Lian as the core, with Zhao Ping, Zhou Qi and others as the assistants.
In this crucial game, he chose to trust Ah Lian and Xu Xiang.
Just when everyone was about to pack up and get ready to play, Xu Xiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his eyes:
"Coach, I think we have to think differently if we want to win"
"Huh?" Everyone suddenly looked over in unison.
Xu Xiang smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "We can do this. Do this again."
------
Naturally, the US team is also discussing tactics.
"PG, how do you think you need to play?" Old coach K suddenly looked up at Paojiao.
Paojiao seemed to be asked for a moment. Although he and Xu Xiang were on the same team, he really hadn't thought much about how to defend Xu Xiang.
Because these things are generally considered by their opponents.
"Tracking?" He tried to say something.
Before the old coach K could speak, Cousins said, "Pull him down, he will be damned if the flank attack works on him!"
The cousin is a straight person, and usually says what she has.
Pickle was a little embarrassed. To be honest, he really didn't think about how to defend Xu Xiang.
But the old coach K nodded, "Don't think that PG is wrong, because we have no other way except flanking!"
"PG, you are the main defense! KD, you are the flanker! Let's go to the three-forward lineup, Kyrie, you are the organizer!"
Old Coach K didn't wait for everyone to react, and began to arrange it non-stop.
"Anthony, Jordan, you are mainly defending the UAE!"
"what?"
When they arranged to flank Xu Xiang just now, everyone could accept it, but flank Ah Lian?is this necessary?
After all, apart from Xu Xiang, the Chinese team performed the best in the previous games, Zhou Qi and Zhao Ping, and the UAE was still ranked fourth.
"Don't think about it too much, just play like this, let's watch first and then talk." Old coach K waved and arranged without explaining.
Game start!
Zhou Qi and Jordan went to the free throw line and started to jump the ball.
Jordan is the famous "jump ball brother" in the NBA. Zhou Qi is naturally not his opponent. With a flick of Jordan, the ball reaches the backcourt of the US team, and Irving controls the ball and advances!
The first attack of the US team was given to the "old captain" Anthony. Anthony was not ambiguous, and it was a three-pointer when he pulled it up!Facing Zhao Ping's defense!
"Bang!"
First attack iron.
Xu Xiang looked at Anthony who didn't care about running back, and felt very sorry.
This guy was known as an "offensive kaleidoscope" back then, but now he always stays outside and shoots three-pointers. It will definitely not work like this.
In the first attack of the Chinese team, Xu Xiang just wanted to catch the ball, when he saw the pickled pepper noodles posted on it expressionlessly.
Xu Xiang smiled lightly: "PG, old K arranged for you to guard against me?"
The pickled pepper broke his skills in a second, "I know you still ask."
Xu Xiang continued to laugh and said, "I'm afraid you're not the only one?"
"You know again?"
Paojiao suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart. When he was on the same team with Xu Xiang before, he couldn't feel it. Looking at it now, it seemed that everything on his side was exposed in front of his eyes.
"No wonder we won so easily before!"
Paojiao suddenly realized.
As soon as he saw Xu Xiang holding the ball, Durant on the side didn't care about the king, and surrounded him in a second.
Seeing such a scene, Xu Xiang smiled even more happily, "Hey, it really is you, I guessed it all!"
As he said this, he threw the ball in his hand at once, and Ah Lian made the ball.
