Chapter 364 - Big Lead at Halftime
The U.S. team had three seconds left to attack, and it was a baseline serve. In the end, Marion made a super long shot, missed, and the ball was exchanged.
The Chinese team attacked, Dayao received the ball in a high position, Stoudemire defended, and Marion defended one step ahead of Dayao.
At the basket, Li Ba asked for the ball in front, and Duncan held it in the back.
Dayao made a fake pass and passed to the basket.
When Li Ba received the ball, Marion immediately turned around and rushed over, forming a double-team in an instant.
Li Ba didn't hear the news, stood up forcefully, and dunked sideways.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"boom!"
The basketball hit the basket and jumped up, but the dunk failed.
"Beep!"
The whistle blew.
Marion and Duncan raised their hands at the same time, and the referee gave the former a thug foul.
"It's a pity that I didn't give it to Duncan." Zhang Lili laughed.
"I think it will happen sooner or later. Under the rules of the Olympic Games, the Hammer really has an advantage in the basket." Yu Jia laughed.
Free throws, the first free throw was made, the second free throw was missed, Marion grabbed the rebound, and the US team attacked.
Duncan entered the basket, but Li Ba didn't stop him, he took a defensive approach.
With his strength, Duncan can't jam him, and his bounce speed and bounce, as well as his wingspan, are enough to ensure that he can cut off his passing lanes.
Duncan couldn't get a position under the basket smoothly, so he could only take the initiative to withdraw, left the penalty area, and entered the left wing.
Li Ba defends one step on the edge of the penalty area. This position can return to the penalty area at any time, and he can watch Duncan who is two steps away.
In fact, Duncan deliberately opened such a large distance, he wanted to pull Li Ba out.
He played a series of games with Li Ba, and the last point was one point. The Spurs wanted to pull Li Ba out of the paint, and Li Ba had to find a way to stay in it.
In the end, the Spurs failed and lost the series.
Seeing that Li Ba didn't leave the edge of the penalty area, Duncan had no choice but to lean on him, and then reached out for the ball.
Marbury passes to Duncan.
Without double-teaming, the Chinese team allowed Li Ba to defend Duncan alone, which can ensure that other positions are not empty.
The moment Marbury passed the ball, Li Ba began to push Duncan with his chest.
Duncan exerted strength on his feet, trying to stand firm.
At this time Li Ba suddenly withdrew, dodged sideways, and stretched his left arm forward.
But Duncan was Duncan after all, and it was not so easy to be intercepted. When Li Ba withdrew his strength, he knew that this guy was going to play tricks, quickly stabilized his center of gravity, and then took the initiative to meet the incoming ball.
"Snapped!"
Duncan received the pass smoothly.
The steal failed, and Li Ba lost his position.
At this time, Duncan suddenly turned to the right (down), pressed Li Ba with his right hand, and entered the penalty area with the ball.
At the basket, Dayao and Stoudemire were struggling, stuck in front, and faced Duncan.
In the high position, Zhu Fangyu rushed down, but it was too late, and Duncan should not be able to stop.
At this moment, Stoudemire, who was stuck behind by Dayao, suddenly took a step back, reached the right side of the basket, and reached out for the ball.
Seeing this, Duncan threw the ball directly to the side of the basket.
Behind Dayao, Stoudemire jumped up.
Dayao didn't expect Duncan to pass the ball, so he couldn't take off and turned around to see...
"boom!"
The basket trembled, and Dayao was dunked.
46:31, the US team trailed by 15 points.
"What the hell!"
Li Ba burst into foul language.
The ball belonged to him. In order to pursue a steal and get 5*5, he was reckless and was passed by Duncan, but Dayao was dunked.
"Aw!"
Stoudemire roared excitedly at Dayao.
Being provoked by a guy who was exiled by the hammer, and this guy also snatched him the best rookie, Dayao was also angry, and he pushed backhand, and Stoudemire fell to the ground.
The whistle didn't sound.
There is a principle in FIBA's penalties, such as technical offenses and physical offenses can be offset, this time Stoudemire belongs to technical offenses, and Dayao belongs to physical offenses.
"court death!"
Staring at Siu Si who got up on the floor, Li Ba's expression became serious.
"Hammer, just look at my face!"
Marbury ran in from the outside and shouted.
On Stoudemire's side, Duncan also pulled away.
"It's okay, don't miss the big deal!"
Dayao's anger subsided, he came over and pulled Li Ba, and ran to the frontcourt.
"Don't get angry. Dayao also needs to control his temper. Don't let the hammer go wrong. If you have a problem, it will affect the game. It's not good. This time I really played well, and the top three is expected. Let's work hard!" Zhang Reasonable said.
"Oh, Duncan is really strong. He can attack and defend well. He can shoot and pass. He deserves to be a super giant who wins the championship with a single core." Yu Jia sighed.
"At both ends of the offense and defense, he has his own system. He focuses on the key points and is stable. Do you think he is strong?" Zhang Reasonable said.
The Chinese team attacked.
Li Ba wanted a position at the basket, stuck Duncan and made a strong play.
After catching the ball, Duncan and Stoudemire, who came down to double-team, didn't hold it down, allowing him to get up.
"boom!"
As long as he could get up, O'Neal couldn't stop his dunks, and the rim was smashed tremblingly.
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded, and the referee pointed to Duncan, indicating that the thug had fouled.
Duncan raised his hand helplessly.
Three offenders, and then he was detained, really depressed.
"Beautiful! One ball for one ball, the hammer returned that dunk for Dayao, without waiting." Yu Jia roared excitedly.
"Send Duncan another foul, let him rest, and the US team will be finished." Zhang Lili shouted.
Li Ba made a free throw and the US team attacked.
49:31, the Chinese team led by 18 points.
Duncan gets the ball again, on the wing.
Li Ba didn't make a steal this time, and he stuck behind obediently.
Duncan swayed left and right, an assembly line-like movement unfolded, and then a forty-five-degree hit.
But the ball missed, Li Ba didn't shake it, and directly sealed his face with a palm, the huge palm completely covered his face, he had no sight, no matter how good his technique was, it was useless.
"This is the advantage of having big hands!" Zhang Lili laughed.
The rebound was caught by Dayao, and China attacked.
Li Ba landed at the basket and stuck Duncan for the ball again.
This time Stoudemire didn't wait for the ball to come in before double-teaming, but directly double-teamed.
His position was defended by Marion, who emptied small forward Zhu Fangyu.
Dayao passed to Zhu Fangyu, and then went down to grab a rebound.
Zhu Fangyu caught the ball, took aim for two seconds and then made a jumper, missing a three-pointer.
There are five people piled up under the basket, Li Ba, Duncan, Dayao, Stoudemire, Marion, except Li Ba, are all looking at the sky.
Li Ba didn't move ahead of time. He predicted that the ball would be right and it might hit it. If it didn't hit, the rebound would be very close.
"boom!"
The basketball hit the basket and bounced to the left side of the basket, leaning towards Li Ba and away from Dayao.
Li Ba stuck Duncan, pushed Stoudemire away with his left hand, and Marion with his right hand, and jumped up forcefully. With his right palm, he touched the ball first and pointed it to the right side of the basket.
Behind Stoudemire, Dayao jumped up to catch the ball, and after landing, he jumped up again, dunking with both arms.
"boom!"
The rim trembled.
51:31, the Chinese team leads by 20 points.
"yeah!"
Dayao clenched his fists, roared excitedly, and then gave Li Ba a high five.
The bench of the Chinese team was also filled with jubilation.
"Good job, this is the real ball for ball, Yao dunked Stoudemire." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
"Well done! Twenty points, victory is in sight! We have never defeated the dream team, and today we finally have a chance!"
Zhang Lili said excitedly.
