Chapter 247 World Championship Finals
On September 9, the Huaxia team made it all the way to the final with the US team.
The head coach of the U.S. team this time is still old K. Although the team's lineup is not so well-known, they still have a higher level of strength, leading by more than 20 points per game.
Facing the Huaxia team, they didn't feel easy to play.Their inside line is not strong enough to fight against Yao Ming, let alone Yi Jianlian, who is a starter for weak NBA teams.
Small forwards and point guards are where they have an advantage, but the shooting guard may be blown to pieces and can only be dislocated on the defensive end.
……
Yao Ming made the jump ball and kicked off the game with a dunk.In addition to him, there are Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Li Chongxiao and Liu Wei, a more conventional lineup.
The lineup of the US team is Chandler, Love, Iguodala, Durant and Billups.Old is old, new is new, only one Durant is an All-Star in his playing year, which is slightly shabby compared to other dream teams.
Chandler and Love in the starting lineup are purely to fight against Yao Ming's lineup, and Iguodala is also to defend Li Chongxiao.
The U.S. team couldn't hit the inside line for the first ball, and Durant was fooled by Li Chongxiao. Billups had to make his own shot and missed.
The Huaxia team continued to hit Yao Ming for the second ball, and Chandler and Love double-teamed. Yao Ming didn't make a strong hit and passed it to Yi Jianlian, who made a two-pointer.
He followed Li Chongxiao's advice, focused on defense and shooting, and made himself more and more functional, instead of being good but not good, miscellaneous but not specialized.This change actually helped him gain a foothold in the team and became a starter in one fell swoop.
Tyreke Evans, the best rookie trained by the Kings last season, likes to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian very much, because it can always be turned into an assist.
If it weren't for the team's other defender, Kevin Martin, who also took part of the ball, Yi Jianlian's scoring would have increased.
The Huaxia team focused on the inside line at the beginning, and Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian scored several times in a row, which made the US team realize that it could not follow the current rhythm.
When they played other teams before, they used simple tactics, using the NBA's set of centers, forwards, and guards, and then relying on the personal abilities of the stars to solve the battle.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. The five positions are stronger than you. If it is not messed up, just tie A and go there.
But the Huaxia team can't do it. The opponent has two positions that are much stronger than their own team.
Now only Yao Ming is attacking, and Li Chongxiao is still organizing silently.Once Li Chongxiao joined the attack, the current tactical system would not be able to withstand such destruction.
Chandler cannot be withdrawn. Once he leaves, the US team's inside line will be completely defenseless.Love's offense was mediocre, his defense was limp, and he was replaced by Odom, who was much more mobile.
Durant can't move, only he has the ability to score in front of Li Chongxiao.Iguodala and Billups were removed and replaced with offensive players.Rose + Curry, one who can shoot suddenly and one who is good at shooting, can just hit the Huaxia team's defensive weakness.
Immediately after the substitution, although the US team still couldn't defend against Yao Ming, the cooperation with Yi Jianlian became less.Odom's athletic ability is strong, and he just gets stuck in the middle to interfere.
The same goes for the outside line. No matter who comes up, it can't stop Rose's breakthrough and Curry's shot.Especially the latter, studying with Li Chongxiao for a summer made his shooting accuracy higher.And he likes three-pointers. He is a duck to water for this kind of close-range line team in the international arena.
The US team lost first and then won, taking the lead with 27:24 in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Li Chongxiao felt that he could not indulge these "apprentices" too much.In this lineup of the US team, not to mention Durant and Curry, the two players under the same sponsor, Gay, Rose, and Westbrook have all been to their own training camp to learn offensive skills.
Except for Durant who is full of talent and learns everything well, other players have their own priorities.Gay likes mid-range shots, Rose is obsessed with breakthroughs, Westbrook likes pull-up jumpers, and Curry loves three-pointers.
For these rookies, the three-point line in the World Championships is as short as the free throw line, but for Li Chongxiao, shooting inside the three-point line is like under the basket.
He doesn't have many bells and whistles, just all kinds of backs, emergency stops after pick-and-rolls, dry dribbles, and strong catches.5 points in the first quarter and 15 points in the second quarter.Not only the goals, but also his singles on the outside, also helped Yao Ming gain more offensive space inside.The two teamed up to get all the team's points, 28:24, allowing the team to overtake the score.
The U.S. team really couldn't stand the combination of Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming, so they simply let go, instead of defending and attacking, they speeded up directly, passed all kinds of dazzling passes, and threw them into the basket through the young people's gallop.
This tactic is to seize the weak position of the Huaxia team and bully them so that they cannot effectively defend the whole court.If the Huaxia team competes with them, it will soon drag Yao Ming to death.
Deng Huade is not a famous coach, nor is he a fool. Naturally, he knows to play slowly and quickly. When the US team scores a goal, this side also scores a goal, tightly clinging to the score.
The two teams played inextricably in the first three quarters, which made Huaxia fans hope for the championship for the first time.
The players of the American team did not admire the Huaxia team, but instead realized the strength of the Lakers and Grizzlies.You must know that this is a quasi-All-Star team. It is so difficult to play a weakened version of the Lakers, but the Grizzlies can still win the battle. How strong it must be.
Fortunately, most of the players are still young, have not deeply felt the sadness of having nowhere to win a championship, and secretly despise James for reporting to the top team, losing their arrogance for the championship.
……
In the decisive battle in the fourth quarter, Li Chongxiao still faced the American team's wheel battle.In the first three quarters, he pulled back and played again, allowing Yao Ming to play to the fullest.
He was not polite in this section, and began to play freely.For NBA players, the biggest advantage in the international arena is that the three-point line is shortened. Even Jordan came, and he was able to make up for his shortcomings in three-pointers, not to mention Li Chongxiao, who scored six times as much as Jordan in three-point contests.
This is Li Chongxiao's tactic of treating the three-point line as if it were two long.So the U.S. team found something was wrong after playing the game. Obviously, the situation of the game did not change, and the Huaxia team did not change tactics or changes. Why did the score suddenly go up by 5 points.
Old K is naturally aware of this situation, but he can't change it.Among this group of players, Iguodala's defense is good, and the other two or three around Li Chongxiao are effective.
If they all went to double-team Li Chongxiao, wouldn't that be an open shot for the opponent? This is a tactic that the Huaxia team has specially practiced in this summer's training camp.
Unable to advance or retreat, the US team entered a dilemma and could only score three points at the same time.
But no matter how bad the Huaxia team is, they still have players who can go all out to defend, so that the US team not only failed to make a three-pointer tactic, but even lost several times in a row.
Li Chongxiao watched Durant firmly, making the best offensive point of the US team misfired.
With 2 minutes left in the game, the Huaxia team had already led by 10 points. Relying on time-consuming tactics, they successfully dragged the game to the end and won the game.
It also means that they won the World Championships in a historical record.
