Chapter 1312 How can you be so awesome! (810!)
After more than three minutes in the second quarter, the Chinese team still took the lead and expanded their lead!
32 to 28, although the point difference is only from 2 points to 4 points, but the meaning is different.
The Chinese team not only survived the transition from the bench that the US team was most sure of, but also gained an advantage!
It's completely different psychologically.
After the main force came back, the morale of the Chinese team was also boosted.
With two minutes left at the end of the second quarter, the score was 38-36 and the Chinese team took the lead.
Durant broke through the basket and scored two points with a giant loop layup, helping the US team tie the score.
But looking back, Tang Tian also scored two points with a quick layup after breaking through the double-team.
This two points helped him increase his personal halftime data to 15 points, and also helped the Chinese team take the lead again!
Although Durant was in excellent condition, Tang Tian also started to exert his strength.
And because the number of fouls on both sides in this quarter has already reached, the defensive end dare not make it easily.
Durant suddenly scored Leonard and scored two points, and the US team tied the score again.
Li Chunjiang called a timeout at this time, and there was less than a minute before halftime.
After returning from the timeout, the Chinese team made an unexpected substitution. Kolan Bek, who had not played before, was replaced.
Everyone didn't understand, including Popovich.
He even turned his head full of doubts to look at the hideous Chinese coach next door, not knowing what this coach was doing.
The game on the field was still going on, Tang Tian suddenly scored Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian flew to make a dunk. This time Drummond reached out to block the block and was called a foul.
Yi Jianlian went straight to the free throw line.
He flicked his arm and made two free throws after adjustment.
The Chinese team overtook the score again!
The competition on the court was extremely intense.
The stalemate can no longer be changed. At this time, whoever can take the lead at the end of the half will have the psychological advantage.
Durant served from the bottom line, and the Chinese team was pressing against the United States at this time. Both Curry and Leonard were double-teamed, and Thompson was also marked by Tang Tian.
At this time, only Drummond was unguarded, and he quickly returned to the half court to receive the ball.
Durant also managed to get the ball into his hands.
But before Drummond could pass the ball to someone else, Kolanbek rushed forward and fouled him directly.
The referee blew his whistle to indicate a foul by the Chinese team, and Drummond got two free throw opportunities.
Until then, everyone understood.
Li Chunjiang is going to engage in shark-slaying tactics at this time!
And it's pretty professional!
There are many differences between fiba's game rules and the NBA's, one of which is the rule on fouls against players without the ball.
In the NBA rules, before the new rules, as long as the number of fouls in a single quarter is reached, whoever is fouled will be sent to the free throw line.
This is the famous shark-cutting tactic, invented by former Mavericks coach Nelson Sr., and carried forward by Popovich.
After that, the NBA issued a new rule, stipulating that sharks cannot be hacked in the last two minutes, otherwise they will be called a technical foul.
In other words, if you want to kill a shark in the NBA, you can only do so in the first ten minutes of each quarter.
But there is no such regulation in the fiba game, it can even be said that there is no clear regulation.
The basis of the referee's penalty criteria is as follows: According to the spirit of FIBA rules, as the defensive side must actively steal the ball, the purpose is to compete for the ball, or to defend the breakthrough of the player with the ball. To prevent him from receiving the ball, or to steal it when the ball is about to reach him.
But if the ball will not reach his hands at all, he is in an area without the ball, and in order to stop the time and make him take a free throw, according to the spirit of FIBA rules, even though your action may be slight, you must directly punish the violation .
In layman's terms, fiba does not allow fouls on players without the ball, otherwise they will be whistled for violations.
So Li Chunjiang's professionalism came out.
He forced the American team to pass the ball to Drummond and then fouled.
At this time, if you foul the player with the ball, you will not be called a foul.
In fact, when Drummond missed three consecutive free throws in the first quarter, he already had thoughts.
Then until the score was stalemate in this quarter, after careful thinking, he finally put his ideas into practice.
It's just that Popovich's expression was a little exciting at this time.
He is the one who carried forward the shark-slashing tactic. At the beginning, he executed the shark-slashing tactic against O'Neill in 5 seconds to celebrate the opponent's birthday, which was talked about by fans.
Now Li Chunjiang used this tactic on him!
Now he really has three words in his mind: Ru Hexiu?
The rules of FIBA are to encourage confrontation. This method of catching loopholes may be explicitly revised in the future, but at least Li Chunjiang succeeded this time.
Drummond went to the free throw line, and the scene was full of boos.
Drummond missed two free throws!
So far in his NBA career, his free throw percentage is only a poor 44%, not to mention the fiba games with more intense confrontation and more physical consumption.
Yi Jianlian protected the defensive rebound, and the Chinese team's shark-killing tactic was a perfect success.
Popovich's expression is rare and exciting. In the past, he was the only one who cut other people's share in the NBA, but he didn't expect that Fiba would be cut off.
Feng Shui takes turns, and sooner or later you have to pay back when you come out to hang out.
However, he did not replace Drummond, but signaled on the sidelines to send the ball to others.
The US team also relies on Drummond's defense.
The weakest part of this American team is the inside line, or the inside line of the US team is now withered, and most of the All-Star inside lines are international players.
Davis was injured, and Jordan's ability declined significantly. Now only Drummond and Turner can be used, and only Drummond can really work.
The Chinese team's positional attack, Tang Tian showed his personal ability, turned around and scored in the double-team.
44 to 40, the Chinese team opened the point difference to 4 points!
The U.S. team's backcourt ball, this time the person who served became Curry.
Durant and Leonard have off-ball tactics on the court.
Obviously, the sideline tactics of the US team have been practiced.
However, the ball still failed to reach the hands of others.
It's very simple. The Chinese team doesn't care about Curry serving the ball, nor does it care about Drummond. They just defend 5 and 3 on the court.
No matter how strong Durant and the others are, it is difficult to catch the ball against two people.
And even if he can catch it, Curry doesn't dare to risk being intercepted.
At this time, there was not much time left before halftime, and Popovich did not call a timeout.
As a result, Curry has been forced to send the ball to Drummond.
Then Kolan Bek, a clever little ghost, was so fast that he rushed straight up, which was another foul.
The referee also gave a common foul as before.
Drummond, get to the free throw line again!
This time, whistles and cheers erupted.
Li Chunjiang succeeded in killing sharks twice in a row!
On Popovich's team!
This time they really want to say something to Li Chunjiang, the same thing that the administrator said to Zhang Hanyu at the end of "Captain of China":
How can you be so awesome!
