After the American team came out, they saw the hill-like center and the little bitch who looked more like a star than an athlete. They didn't feel very confident. This can be seen from their demeanor!

In the last game against the South Korean Women's Basketball Team, the black girls from the United States were still talking and laughing during the warm-up before the game. That kind of relaxation and confidence did not need to be found through their demeanor, it was reflected in every gesture.

But today, facing the Chinese women's basketball team, the American girls' bodies were obviously a little tight during the warm-up, and they were not as cheerful as usual, and their expressions were serious and serious.

On the other hand, the Chinese girls were talking and laughing, and their bodies were very relaxed during the warm-up. Wang Xiaoqian even did a two-handed dunk during the warm-up.

The dunk this time was quite good in terms of completion, because holding the ball in both hands was more conducive to the bounce after the run-up, and it didn't seem too forced like last time.

Of course, this was just an ordinary two-handed dunk. When Wang Xiaoqian jumped to the highest point, half of her hands could barely exceed the height of the basket, but she still received applause and cheers from the audience!

The American players were naturally more serious. The eyes of the audience and the live broadcast cameras were immediately directed to Sherrill Miller.

The core of the American women's basketball team, who is said to have performed dunks in high school, was compared with Wang Xiaoqian by various American media before the game.

Now that the two have really met on the court, Wang Xiaoqian's dunk seems a bit provocative. How will Sherrill Miller respond?

Cheryl Miller's face doesn't look good. It's not that she can't dunk. After all, she is 10 centimeters taller than Wang Xiaoqian.

But she is inferior to Wang Xiaoqian in terms of bullet speed and jumping height. The most important thing is her balance ability and core strength.

This means that although she is much better than Wang Xiaoqian in reaching height, it is difficult for her to have enough ability to stay in the air when dunking, and it is even more difficult for her to make smooth movements when jumping to the highest point. She often has to try many times to find the right way to jump.

The right position, as well as the rhythm and angle of the dunk.

However, this kind of forced buckle is not only easy to get injured, but also has to be inferior in terms of viewing quality.

This is also the reason why almost no one dunks in official games of the women's basketball team. With Cheryl Miller's physical fitness, it is easy for dunks to go down during warm-ups. So if there is a confrontation in the game, wouldn't it be a sure thing?

Cheryl Miller hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't dare to try a dunk in return because she felt it would be embarrassing to complete a dunk after several consecutive attempts.

It would be really embarrassing if you were accidentally injured!

But what was damaged in this way was the momentum. Before the game started, the morale of the American team inevitably dropped.

In today's competition, from the outside world, the overall strength of the Chinese team is obviously higher than that of the American team.

Although the two core players of the Chinese team are not very old, the intensity of confrontation in the women's basketball team is not high, so their younger age does not have a big impact.

The U.S. women's basketball team is also young. This team is basically made up of college athletes, and like the U.S. men's basketball team, it only started training in March, and it only took three or four months to get used to it.

If we really talk about confrontation ability, the Chinese team has an advantage overall.

The Chinese women's basketball team has been established for four years. Except for Zheng Haixia and Wang Xiaoqian who are not very young, most of them are 20-25 years old.

This is also the reason why the Chinese women's basketball team is so strong in its original position. In this era, European and American countries basically do not have a fixed national team in basketball, and selections are often made a few months before the competition.

However, after China established a national team, it would conduct a training camp every few months, and then before each competition, it would select a few new players based on their performance in the training camp, and then send away a few players whose level had declined, or whose performance had declined.

Injured veteran players.

But it won't be like the United States that carries out a large-scale blood exchange every time. The advantage of this is that it ensures that in addition to fresh blood, it also makes the team's old, middle and young team more reasonable, with tacit cooperation and rich experience.

After today's game started, the Americans were surprised to find that the two Chinese core players they were most afraid of did not seem to be very active. Instead, the role players who they had not paid attention to before the game were playing very actively.

Among the first 20 points scored by the Chinese team, Zheng Haixia and Wang Xiaoqian only scored 6 points together. The rest were the contributions of these underappreciated Chinese players.

This makes the US team's defense very passive. Their defensive focus is entirely on Zheng Haixia and Wang Xiaoqian. However, the Chinese team's two forwards Xiu Lijuan and Li Xiaoqin performed very well, constantly using mid-range shots and off-ball cuts to score points.

.

Wu Jie felt that this scene was very familiar. During the Lakers' two peaks in the new century, this kind of situation where the role players returned to their places occasionally happened. Once such a full-blown situation occurs, it will be a disaster for the other side.

!

In the end, the U.S. team had no choice but to call a timeout and was forced to flatten its defensive focus. It did not dare to let people go easily, let alone underestimate the role players of the Chinese team.

At this time, it was naturally Zheng Haixia's turn to perform, which was also the main attack sequence under the guidance of Luda.

Wang Xiaoqian's physical fitness is very good in the women's basketball team. Not only can she play for 40 minutes, she will not be tired even if there is overtime. This kind of fighting ability is similar in other battlefields.

But Zheng Haixia's physical fitness is much worse. If she is forced to go all out on both offense and defense, she will have no energy after half a game at this stage.

Zheng Haixia's physical fitness will improve to the point where she can maintain full power for 25 minutes after two more years of training. This is basically the same as Yao Ming's in the men's basketball team.

So naturally in the first half, when Zheng Haixia can perform at her best, give her the ball as much as possible to ravage her opponents, and then give the ball to Wang Xiaoqian in the second half.

In the first half, Wang Xiaoqian mainly focused on putting more effort into perimeter defense, and at the same time used the ball after the breakthrough to help Zheng Haixia and her teammates gain better offensive space.

The second half is when she takes over the game, when her physical advantage can be better utilized.

Zheng Haixia didn't know that her situation in the team was much better than Yao Ming's original position twenty years later.

At that time, Yao really struggled to even get the ball. Under the targeted defense of his teammates, it was difficult to pass the ball to Yao Ming in time every time, even if he finally got the ball.

It's probably because he's in a bad position, or doesn't have much time to attack, or he's being double-teamed.

Yao Ming can perform an efficient offensive performance in this environment. It is really difficult not to die from exhaustion. Who knows how much pressure he has to bear.

But it is much easier for Zheng Haixia to get the ball at this moment. Cong Xuedi is an excellent point guard with solid passing and control in the world's women's basketball team. Wang Xiaoqian's breakthrough points can make it impossible for any team to double-team Zheng Haixia.

In this situation, the U.S. women's basketball team couldn't find a way to restrict Zheng Haixia. After all, forward defense had not been developed under the FBA rules of the 1980s.

It's not that there is no forward defense, but no team has paid attention to this defensive tactic, and no one has improved it enough to deal with super insiders.

Therefore, Zheng Haixia can easily get the basketball near the penalty area. At this time, there are not many ways for the US team to stop her.

This also resulted in that at the end of the first half, Zheng Haixia, with the team's active feeding, once again scored 15 points in the half, destroying the American girl's penalty area with holes all by herself.

The Chinese team also successfully created a double-digit lead in the first half by relying on Zheng Haixia's unmatched basket attack.

After watching the first half of the game, Wu Jie was already seventy-eight points sure of the victory of the Chinese women's basketball team.

The American women's basketball team is indeed excellent in terms of athletic ability, but its advantage over the Chinese women's basketball team is not that great.

If you include the two strong points of Zheng Haixia and Wang Xiaoqian, the physical fitness of the Chinese and American teams can only be said to be half the same.

But if they cannot take advantage of the physical body, it will be difficult for the American women's basketball team to win, because the Chinese girls are in the lead in terms of basic skills, the number of skills they master, including physical fitness.

Yes, this Chinese women's basketball team is better than the American team in terms of technology and physical fitness.

In terms of tactics, the Chinese women's basketball team is also far ahead of the American women's basketball team thanks to the training time and the help of Luda as a consultant.

The lead was only 10 points in the first half, but the U.S. team still had the home court advantage. Without the help of the referee's home whistle, the Chinese team would never have led by as little as 10 points.

If there is any hidden danger, it is that the referee will become more serious in the second half.

If Zheng Haixia falls into a foul crisis, the Chinese team's advantage in the paint will be destroyed.

This is not poisonous milk. Wu Jie and Luda believe that the Americans will definitely activate more home whistles to fight against them, because this is the only way to win.

Sure enough, just two minutes into the second half, Zheng Haixia received her third foul in a defensive effort.

This is also where fiba basketball has mixed reviews. Players will be ejected after receiving 5 fouls.

If the referee remains fair, there will be no big problem if he is fouled out five times in a forty-minute game.

But if the referee starts to double-standard in penalty decisions, the blow to the victim will be very serious, especially for those teams that rely on the inside to win. After all, the inside is the most vulnerable position to foul.

Zheng Haixia's defense this time falls into the category of whether it can be called or not. Under normal circumstances, it is better not to call, otherwise a game will be interrupted many times.

But if the referee blows it, you can't find much fault.

The Chinese team did not notice that there was a problem and did not replace Zheng Haixia in time after the foul.

One minute later, Zheng Haixia was whistled for a foul again.

This time it was no longer a question of whether to call or not. Zheng Haixia blocked Cheryl Miller's layup with a very clean shot.

However, the Brazilian female referee obviously did not think this was a good call and decisively called Zheng Haixia a foul. This was already her fourth foul.

Naturally, the Chinese girls stopped, but Wang Xiaoqian acted the calmest and hurriedly pulled away her teammates who wanted to argue with the referee in Chinese.

This is of course the right choice. Basketball referees and football referees have always been so annoying.

Many times, you know that the referee is causing trouble, but as long as it is not too blatant, you can only endure it, because not calming down will only give the opponent an excuse to legally mess with you.

This is also part of football and basketball. Americans themselves have also suffered losses from referees. The Chinese just suffer losses more frequently. It is the Chinese team that suffers almost every time.

If you can't bear it, then go for track and field and swimming, or play tennis, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, table tennis... These are all sports that can basically guarantee fairness at this stage.

But if you choose big ball sports, you should never think about absolute fairness.

"I think you should be careful. This is a game in the United States. As long as the opponent is the American team, there will definitely be losses on the whistle."

Wu Jie had long expected that the Americans would make a fuss about the whistle, and even today it was a little lighter than he expected.

"The whistle alone is not enough. I can also give them ten points."

Luda knew that Qin Jian was crazier than him now, but if Americans heard this, he would definitely be crazier!

But his craziness and Wang Xiaoqian's calmness on the court are all ultimately due to his confidence in himself.

Only then did the Americans start to become blatant, and in his eyes he said unceremoniously: It's too late.

If Zheng Haixia is caught in a foul crisis right from the start, the Chinese team will really have to work hard to win.

But it was already the second half, and their offensive focus was originally going to shift to Wang Xiaoqian.

Whether Zheng Haixia is on the court or not at this moment, the impact is already limited.

After Zheng Haixia came off the court, Wang Xiaoqian officially entered the unlimited ball holding mode.

At this time, Wang Xiaoqian already had 9 points. If compared to ordinary players, this would be considered full firepower.
