At this moment, between offense and defense, the American team's fast break had begun, with Da Zhi and Da Yao trailing behind the two teams.
Carter quickly advanced with the ball from the center. At this time, Zhou Quan blocked the front. Hu Weidong saw it and ran towards Ray Allen on the right wing.
Carter did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball to Ray Allen. After Ray Allen received the ball, Hu Weidong was still one step away from him. He immediately accelerated to pass the center line and entered the frontcourt.
Zhou Quan returned to the penalty area from the top of the arc, and Carter stopped at the top of the arc.
Ray Allen quickly crossed the three-point line on the right wing, and Hu Weidong had already caught up. He suddenly stopped, pulled back to the three-point line, and then completed a three-point jumper before Hu Weidong came back.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
"Oh, it's really accurate! This is his second three-pointer, two out of four." Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Lili said: "As soon as the feeling comes, I will strangle him to death. But he didn't go in just now. I'm afraid it has something to do with Zhou Quan's two big hits before. He was afraid.
This is a good thing. It shows that Zhou Quan's three blocks have posed a threat to the US team. If you dare to rush in, you will be blocked. "
Xu Jicheng nodded and returned to the previous topic, saying: "Zhou Quan's training time with the national team was short, only about ten days. He and Dayao should not have a tacit understanding. The cooperation just now may be tactical cooperation."
Zhang Liyi nodded and said: "So far, Zhou Quan's team has not had any All-Star centers with excellent offense at the center position. They are all blue-collar centers. But now Da Zhi and Da Yao are more offensive types. I hope They can play more good coordination."
8:13, the Chinese team attacks.
Zhou Quan approached the top of the arc and made a tactical gesture.
It can be as big as suddenly coming up from the low post on the right wing, preparing to do a pick-and-roll, but when he ran to the right end of the free throw line, he suddenly turned down.
"not good!"
Mourning followed and turned around quickly, but he had lost his defensive position and was stuck in front of him, closer to the basket. He knew he was in trouble.
At this moment, Zhou Quan hit the ground and passed the ball from Ray Allen's side to Da Zhi's hands.
As big as he caught the ball, he stepped up and put the ball into the basket with ease.
"Beautiful! This ball is played so easily!" Zhang Liang shouted excitedly.
"This must be specially trained tactical coordination." Xu Jicheng said with certainty.
In fact, their guess was correct. Zhou Quan met two centers with great offensive talents from Da Yao to Da Yao. How could he miss the opportunity to cooperate with them tactically?
Da Zhi's offense is quite agile and his skills are comprehensive, while Da Yao has an absolute height advantage, solid basic skills, and strong finishing ability at the basket. Both of them have high golf IQ, and they formed a good relationship with him in just more than ten days. Some tactical understanding.
For example, the high-post pick-and-roll tactic, as well as the counter-running and inside-cutting tactic that Yao and Dawei have just played once each, are all used very well.
These tactics can avoid the weaknesses of Yao and Da's current lack of confrontation ability, bring out their strengths, and match his passing, they can definitely kill everyone.
8:15, the US team attacks.
Although his jumping ability and explosive power are off the charts, Vince Carter's athletic ability is actually overestimated. His speed is average, and his ability to break through with the ball is also average. He needs to lower his body's energy storage to make the first step faster, but it can be easily seen through. His intention to break through.
His breakthroughs are usually not clean and easy for others to follow, so when he reaches the top of the arc, he calls Garnett's high pick-and-roll and then breaks through.
Hu Weidong bypassed Garnett behind him and caught up with Carter, but at this time Carter had already flown up, and Da Zhi had just returned to the basket from the right waist position.
"boom!"
The next moment, Dazai jumped to block the shot, but was directly dunked.
"ah!"
After succeeding, Vince Carter excitedly pumped his fists and shouted angrily.
"The stars of the Dream Team 4 are so powerful individually that they can't be guarded against!" Sun Zhenping sighed.
"They don't want a point guard, they just want to rely on their individual abilities and defeat us with their individual performance." Xu Jicheng said with some displeasure.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "When it comes to personal ability, Zhou Quan is the strongest one, and he is so strong that he is unique and invincible.
The offenses of Raheem, Carter, Ray Allen, and Garnett are still far from being unsolvable. "
The other two nodded repeatedly, and Xu Jicheng said: "Now Zhou Quan and Yao Dazhi can also cooperate with each other. The success rate is very high. There is no problem with our offense at all. Just fight like this. Dayao Dazhi will go down, and Zhou Quan will Taking over the offense, there is still no solution.”
Sun Zhenping smiled and said: "Everyone strives for offensive efficiency. If you fight alone and have no organizational skills, you will definitely suffer in the end."
Zhang Lili said: "Now we still have a problem. Our zone defense needs to be more effective and the double-teaming needs to be faster, starting from the moment their ball holder approaches the three-point line.
They have no point guard, limited organizational ability, and limited passing ability. If we double-team them, we can force them to make mistakes. "
"Yes, let's fight like this." Sun Zhenping said hurriedly.
Next, both sides failed to attack once. Then the Chinese team attacked and the American team fouled. The Chinese team took advantage of the dead ball opportunity and replaced Da Zhi and Sun Jun, and replaced Bart and Liu Yudong.
Liu Yudong's mid-range shot is accurate, but the injury was too serious. Now his knees are probably broken into pieces, and every time he runs, he feels excruciating pain.
Zhou Quan once persuaded him to borrow money to go to the United States for surgery. The medical conditions there were better, but the result of the surgery might be retirement, and the medical expenses there were too high, so he kept putting it off.
In this Olympics, apart from playing a few minutes in the first group match against the United States, he had few opportunities and no performance in other games.
"Old Liu, run to the open space, I want your mid-range shot." Zhou Quan saw Liu Yudong coming up, so he ran over and said to him.
"Okay, I'll wait for your pass." Liu Yudong nodded.
The Chinese team served the ball from the left side of the frontcourt. Zhou Quan received the ball outside the top of the arc in the middle. Seeing Liu Yudong moving on the left wing, he immediately made a breakthrough with the ball from the top of the left arc.
Although Ray Allen's defense is good, he is still far away from Kobe and cannot guard Zhou Quan at all.
When Zhou Quan broke into the left elbow area, Mourning in the right waist position moved a step towards the basket, and Garnett in the low post on the left wing made a supplementary defense. If he went in, he would probably be double-teamed by two top defensive insiders, even if it was He might also be at a disadvantage, so he immediately pulled to the left.
Rahim on the left wing saw what a great opportunity he had and immediately double-teamed him.
In this way, Liu Yudong was free, and Zhou Quan's ball was passed in time.
"Uh-huh!"
Liu Yudong caught the ball and immediately took action and hit the ball.
"Liu Yudong's open shots are the most reassuring. He can hit them with his eyes closed." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.
"It's just that the injury was too serious. The examination showed that there were broken bones in the knee, not just one, but many." Xu Jicheng sighed.
"How much pain does that have?" Zhang Lili sighed.
10:17, the US team attacks.
Zhou Quan still defends Ray Allen's side, and his defensive position is at the right elbow area, because Ray Allen's shooting is good and his position is slightly outside.
According to the zone defense tactics, he only defends that area on the defensive end. He defends the ball but not the man. He cannot pass the ball. As long as Ray Allen doesn't have the ball in his hands, he can let it go temporarily, but don't let it go too far.
Carter was holding the ball and just approaching the top of the key, Hu Weidong suddenly stepped up to press for him.
This gave Zhou Quan an opportunity, and he immediately reacted defensively and came to double-team.
Carter escaped Hu Weidong's frontal press. When he saw the Iron Fist King coming, he panicked and immediately passed the ball to Ray Allen.
But his behavior was already expected by Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan's double-teaming behavior can be said to force him to pass the ball to Ray Allen, so after taking a step towards Carter, he immediately changed direction upwards.
"Snapped!"
At this time, Carter's ball was passed. He stretched out his big hand, cut into the passing route, and intercepted the ball.
"Beautiful! The ball was stolen, Zhou Quan stole the ball!" Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.
Carter became anxious, turned around and ran away.
He returned to defense from the center and got to the basket before Zhou Quan, but at this time Zhou Quan had already come in from the left elbow area and flew up to meet him.
"It's over!"
At this moment, he was a little bit confused when he saw the Iron Fist King who was like a flying tiger in the sky.
What am I doing? Am I crazy? What are I doing running to the basket? Defense is none of my business. I'm not a strong defensive player. Am I not seeking death? Damn, I must be crazy!
"boom!"
At the same time that the basket was exploded, Vince Carter was directly knocked away by Zhou Quan under the huge impact.
"Bang!"
After falling to the floor, Vince Carter slid back a few meters and crashed directly into the media box, where people suddenly fell over, including three reporters and two cameras.
"oh!"
Huge exclamations swept through the stadium like a whirlwind.
"Crack, click, click..."
But this did not affect other media reporters. At this time, they were waving their shutters excitedly and taking pictures of Zhou Quan.
Vince Carter is not the Vince Carter he was before the Olympics. In the group stage, Vince Carter flew over French center Frederic Weiss and completed a shocking death dunk. Now he is very well-known around the world. .
But such a person was knocked away during Zhou Quan's dunk, which was very shocking.
Seeing the tragic scene of Vince Carter being knocked away by the Iron Fist King, Ray Allen was stunned, and his heart was trembling. If it was my turn, wouldn't I also be knocked away? You know, he was the first person to target the Iron Fist King, and Carter suffered on his behalf.
"Zhou Quan's dunk was so violent, haha..." Xu Jicheng laughed.
"I'm surprised. Vince Carter usually doesn't work so hard on defense. What he did just now wasn't working hard anymore. He even risked his life." Zhang Lili said doubtfully.
"Pfft..."
Sun Zhenping couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
"He may be anxious too." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.
In the TNT commentary box, Kenny Smith lamented: "Tekken King, please be merciful, Vince Carter is also a rising star after all, the league will need him in the future, don't hurt him.
Carter was also impulsive. It's just a ball. It can't determine the outcome of the game. Just let the King of Iron Fist dunk. It's not shameful if you can't prevent it. Jordan can't prevent such a dunk. Besides, you run in and just stand there stupidly. , and he didn’t make any blocking action? "
Barkley scolded: "He is mentally ill. Don't talk about him in this situation. Garnett and Mourning might be knocked away if they block it."
Kenny Smith nodded and said: "After a long sprint, the impact of the Iron Fist King can definitely knock Garnett and Mourning away. Even the big shark may be knocked over."
In the media gallery, with the help of Ray Allen, Vince Carter tried to get up. He felt a tingling sensation in his chest and finally sat up. His face was already pale.
"Vince, are you straining your muscles or breaking your bones?" Zhou Quan, who was standing aside, asked.
Carter glanced at Zhou Quan, gasped and covered his right chest, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid you broke a few ribs and there is some pain in the muscles in the back."
"Team doctor, several ribs are broken, put on a stretcher."
Zhou Quan immediately turned back and shouted to the U.S. team's bench.
"damn it!"
Even a refined man like Tomjanovich couldn't help but use foul language.
Although the Dream Team 4 is full of talents, after excluding the three point guards and four inside players, there are only five players at the second and third positions. He doesn't want to use the second-rate star Steve Smith at all. Now that Carter is useless, he only has five players. If you can replace Alan Houston, if another player is injured, you can only use Smith.
Carter's injury seemed to have affected the defensive will of the Dream Team. Then the defensive intensity of the Dream Team dropped significantly, especially Ray Allen, who was responsible for defending Zhou Quan.
In this case, after the first quarter, at 18:29, the Chinese team had led by 11 points.
In the second quarter, the US team used a stronger lineup to start chasing points, but they caught up by 6 points and were still 5 points behind.
But in the third quarter, Dayao Yao returned to play, and with their physical strength restored, they and Zhou Quan once again widened the point difference to double digits.
72:84, the Chinese team leads by 12 points.
In the final quarter, the two sides entered the decisive stage.
