Chapter 496: Do you dare to be iron with me?(1/2)
When Wu Jie shows off, he not only highlights himself, but also plays a necessary role in influencing his opponent's mentality.
So you can see him tugging at his jersey while roaring, and intentionally or unintentionally highlighting the number on it for people to see.
In this way, it is difficult not to think that Jordan is also wearing the No. 8 jersey, so commentators from various countries will naturally use the most controversial method to compare the performance of the two No. 8s.
If you go one step further, you will even continue to associate the direction of comparison with the NBA.
Judging from the data trajectory of Jordan's performance in the NBA, basically no one is better than Chamberlain except Chamberlain.
Although today's game has just begun, Luda's defeated player seems to be inferior to Wu Jie?
At this moment, even American fans can't help but think further - if Luda and Wu Jie go to the United States to play, wouldn't it be possible for them to dominate the NBA?
Chuck Daly seemed to be struggling on the sidelines at this time because he really wanted to request a timeout!
Now that the Chinese team has gained momentum, their morale has plummeted!
The most important thing is that our own players have been beaten a bit. If they are not allowed to stop and calm down, they are likely to lose points continuously to the Chinese team who are getting excited. It is not surprising that they will be defeated by a wave in the end!
But when the timeout was called, the U.S. team lost the game directly, and it was even worse than losing the game!
Don't forget, the Chinese and American teams have been competing over "timeouts". Before the game, both sides also expressed the attitude of "who is a coward and who is a dog". Ruda even bluntly said, "If we call a timeout, then it will be a direct result."
Let’s just say we lose.”
Having said these words, of course the American team also expressed similar rhetoric.
Therefore, if anyone dares to take the initiative to call a timeout, he will undoubtedly be bowing his head and admitting defeat in this war that concerns "face" and even "dignity".
Chuck Daly naturally does not dare to take this responsibility, because this matter can be infinitely big if it is said to be big, but it cannot be made small no matter how small it is. It is really not as simple as just trying to get one breath.
"Don't grab offensive rebounds. Interfere with their fast break in advance. Especially the one who plays football. You must go up and interfere with him getting the ball before the offensive and defensive transition begins!"
Chuck Daly was obviously dissatisfied with the defense. Although he did not intend to defeat the Chinese team through defense, such a stretched defense was unjustifiable.
Now that you can't request a timeout to adjust, you can only make arrangements by shouting when the players pass by the bench.
As for whether the players on the field could hear it, or how many people could hear it, he could only pray for God's blessing.
God must have not heard the prayer. Who made this area full of kimchi-smelling hallelujahs? The old man said that his accent was too strong and he could not hear clearly.
This adjustment by Chuck Daly overturned the pre-game arrangement, because he originally wanted his two super centers to do something on the offensive rebounds.
But now judging from Ma Donglong's performance, this idea is definitely not feasible.
What they should be worried about now is whether there will be problems with their own defensive rebounds. The 19-year-old guy is too evil in position selection. He looks more like a 39-year-old old monster.
American players also feel the pressure brought by Ma Donglong on the defensive end. That guy can always make players who are preparing to shoot feel a sense of crisis. This actually has a huge impact on the shooting feel.
During this attack, Larry Bird was interfered with his crosshairs by Ma Donglong who came to help defend, and the US team's most stable shooting point finally missed.
"Return to defense!"
Magic shouted, and then rushed towards Wu Jie with Larry Bird and Jordan.
Obviously, they heard the head coach's instructions when they passed by their own bench just now.
But the problem is that there is no pause to make detailed arrangements, and there is no pause to communicate. There is obviously something wrong with everyone's execution.
Ma Donglong was serving, but Ewing did not immediately return to defense, but tried to interfere with the serve. It can be seen that the gorilla's ears are obviously not very good.
In this case, it doesn't matter whether Olajuwon heard the adjustment order or not, because he didn't know who to guard at all, and in the end he had no choice but to follow Ruda.
At this time, both Zhang Jixian and Zhang Yongjun were left empty-handed, and both of them had the ability to attack quickly. As a result, the Chinese team once again penetrated the American defense line with a run-and-bomb attack that took less than five seconds.
When Chuck Daly saw this, he wanted to raise his hands to cover his face. This kind of defense was simply eye-catching!
He knows that the US team is now showing signs of chaos. This kind of defensive mistakes greatly affects the mentality of the players!
The wisest choice now was to ask for a timeout to let everyone calm down, but he couldn't do that.
At this time, Lao Qian showed a bit of a pained smile, because in this kind of game where no one calls timeout, the two guys who like to do things for others and make their own decisions have become the biggest advantage. This is really heavenly.
It’s time to lose your beauty!
"Full-court press!"
Wu Jie and Luda shouted this sentence almost at the same time after their teammates scored easily. They both saw that the American team was about to collapse.
Ewing, who was serving the ball at this time, was frowning. Ma Donglong was not only jumping up and down in front of him, but his long arms were even dazzling his eyes.
But the worst thing is that looking around, his teammates seem to be entangled by Chinese players, and it's a defensive change.
Wu Jie targeted Jordan personally, Luda followed the Magician, and Zhang Jixian and Zhang Yongjun used their footwork advantage to cling to Olajuwon and Bird.
This kind of tacit understanding of position-changing defense, and considering the poor performance of the Americans just now, the contrast is too strong!
After Ewing saw that his two teammates who could control the ball were all entangled, he soon not only frowned, but even sweat began to appear on his face, because he couldn't find a suitable passing target at the moment.
The Chinese team's unique "full-court press" was obviously practiced against them!
In the end, Bird used his height advantage to jump up and catch the basketball. The referee hesitated and did not call a five-second violation, but in fact the ball was not released for more than five seconds.
However, the result was not much better. When Bird landed, he found that he was double-teamed. Was he afraid that he had fallen into a trap prepared by the Chinese?
"Don't worry, here are 10 seconds!"
Chuck's father was so anxious on the sidelines that he reminded Bird loudly that fiba has a 10-second halftime rule.
But his voice was obviously drowned in the noise of the audience. Larry Bird also obviously forgot about the difference in rules when being double-teamed. In panic, he risked passing the ball out, only to be intercepted by Wu Jie halfway.
The American team was instantly in chaos. They had enough time to switch to defense on the spot, but problems with tacit understanding, mentality, and morale caused the five people on the field to make decisions independently.
Wu Jie turned around and first used the cover of his teammates to get past Jordan, and then went straight to Olajuwon who didn't know where to stop.
Olajuwon, who was part of the defensive team last season, couldn't find his place at all because Wu Jie didn't give him a chance to think.
So I saw Olajuwon, who was forced to stand on the three-point line at the top of the arc, with a confused look on his face. He suddenly slowed down when he rushed in front of him, and then seemed to be twisting with every step. He didn't even know where he was going.
Wu Jie, who broke out on one side, was cleansed like a wooden man.
Ewing stood in the penalty area and was also confused. He had never seen such a snake-like breakthrough. He also had no time to think and could only gamble in one direction to intercept.
But the consequences of this choice are all too familiar to the majority of European football fans. At this time, Ewing is exactly the same as those goalkeepers who were passed by Wu Jie.
"Haha! A pendulum pass! This is a pendulum pass!"
"That's right, the 'Chinese Step' must have evolved from the 'Pendulum Step'!"
"Well done, let the Americans have a taste of the power of the pendulum!"
"..."
At this moment, many of the top goalkeepers from various countries who were watching the game on TV were waving their fists to cheer for Wu Jie. Of course, it is hard to verify what their mentality was. Anyway, they were all quite perverted!
Wu Jie, in an environment where the noise was already starting to hit his head, passed Ewing and scored the ball with a somewhat twisted layup. Naturally, he had to stimulate his opponent again.
This time, I saw him turn around and stop the falling basketball with his feet, and then he actually played "Scola Around the World" with one pad!
Of course, in this plane, the name of this action has been changed to "Aliens Circling the Earth", which does sound more appropriate.
If this extremely cool fancy football skill is used in this situation, it will be more than cool and dazzling!
According to statistics after the game, after Wu Jie finished this move, several female fans fainted at the scene. As for the victims in front of the TV, there is no way to count them!
"Isn't this...too cool?"
"He can defeat us with his feet!"
"Basketball can be played like this? No! What am I talking about?"
"..."
Not to mention how crazy the audience was at this moment, even the American players wanted to go up and worship, and Barkley's eyes almost gave birth to little stars.
In the end, even the referee stepped forward with an uncontrollable smile and caught the basketball kicked by Wu Jie after he did "Aliens Surrounding the Earth" twice in a row.
But then, not only did he not show Wu Jie a violation or foul, he actually ran to the sidelines and carefully put the basketball into his backpack. It seemed that he planned to take the basketball as his own at the risk of being punished.
.
Naturally, there was another burst of cheers at the scene, but even the president of FIBA, who was sitting in the VIP room, was smiling and applauding. Only this scene has the atmosphere of fireworks and the effect of the program!
The most important thing is that through Wu Jie's several amazing performances, their basketball is finally breaking through. These are highlights that will be broadcast endlessly on TV stations around the world in the future!
As for the game itself, that is not important anymore. What the entire FIBA is looking forward to most now is that Wu Jie can continue this kind of performance.
Of course American players wouldn't think so, but even if there were a group of top ten superstars in the Hall of Fame standing on the field, everyone's minds would be buzzing!
They really didn't know how to play, let alone how to deal with the Chinese team's offense and defense.
In the following four consecutive attacks, the American team was pressed by the Chinese team and either made mistakes or missed shots in panic.
Chuck Daly originally wanted to use his strong personal ability to compete with the Chinese team, but it seems that even he underestimated his role as a head coach and the importance of timeouts!
No matter how you look at it, the current American team seems to be fighting on its own, with a rhythm of moving up one by one!
The Chinese team did not call a timeout, but they have two offensive coaches and one defensive coach. This advantage alone is enough to close the gap in overall strength.
Therefore, "not calling a timeout" is a big hole dug by the Chinese team for their opponents. If this game was not too important, they would not be willing to use their greatest advantage in the group stage.
“But isn’t this advantage too great?”
Both Wu Jie and Luda started to feel pain. Only in the 15th minute of the first half, they already led the US team by double digits, 18:7.
To be continued...
