Chapter 54: The Huaxia Team Was Brutally Abused, Jiang Chen's Declaration

Both sides played with substitute lineups.

But it is obvious that the US team's substitute lineup is much stronger than that of the Chinese team.

"Flash" Wade and Chris Paul alone are enough to give the Chinese men's basketball team a headache, not to mention the three All-Star players Bosh, Boozer and Prince.

Wade had a strong desire to attack in this game.

When players like Kobe and James are not on the court, he is the absolute offensive core.

Wade used his fierce pressing and super-fast speed to launch continuous counterattacks and frequently made fast break dunks.

In just less than 3 minutes, the US team launched a 9:2 offensive climax, widening the score difference to 10 points.

have no choice.

Jonas quickly replaced main players such as Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Jiang Chen during the dead ball phase.

The US team did not make any personnel adjustments.

The lineup is still centered around Wade and Paul.

Even so, the Chinese team was only barely evenly matched, and after playing for nearly 3 minutes, they were still unable to catch up.

During the period, Jiang Chen performed well and made two consecutive three-pointers.

But the offense of the rest of the players was too poor, and under the high-intensity defense of the US team, their hit rate was ridiculously low.

Yao Ming was completely restricted by the US team's targeted defense and had very few opportunities to shoot.

In the second half of the second quarter, the US team replaced their main players.

Kobe began to take over the offense, hitting two consecutive mid-range jump shots, forcing Sun Yue to make a mistake, making a fast break counterattack and completing a dunk!

Scored 6 points in a row.

Directly widened the score gap to 16 points.

The entire audience fell silent, and some even had tears in their eyes.

There is no disappointment, only heartache.

The Chinese men's basketball team has tried their best, so how can we be so harsh on them?

After all, the strength of both sides is not on the same level!

"We are 16 points behind! The Chinese team's offense was completely blocked by the U.S. team. Under this high-intensity, suffocating defense, the Chinese team made continuous mistakes and was repeatedly counterattacked by the U.S. team."

Yang Jian said with a somewhat depressed mood.

The game was evenly matched in the first quarter, but the situation suddenly changed in the second quarter.

The situation changed so quickly that my emotions went through ups and downs like a roller coaster.

"It can't be helped. The Chinese team is already amazing for being able to hold out for a quarter against the superstar-studded American team."

"Although Jiang Chen performed well, this is ultimately a team sport and we are still far behind in terms of our strength."

Old man Zhang Weiping also shook his head helplessly, his emotion was very calm, because this was expected.

The attention this game received was unprecedented, with hundreds of millions of viewers across the country watching the live broadcast to support the Chinese team, but no one thought that the Chinese men's basketball team could win this game.

This is even less likely than winning the lottery.

On the stadium.

The Chinese team did not give up and still tried their best to complete every attack and defense.

Dayao's eyes are still firm and resolute, and have never changed.

No matter if he loses by 30 points, 40 points, or even 50 points, he will fight to the end. This is his determination.

During an offensive round of the Huaxia team.

Yao Ming desperately grabbed an offensive rebound, then made a strong shot and caused Howard to foul.

He roared to the sky and waved his arms high, his fiery red jersey rippled as he vented his emotions to his heart's content.

As the leader of the Chinese team, he should take the lead and lead by example.

Swish!

The free throw was made steadily.

In the next offensive round, Jiang Chen hit another three-pointer in the bottom corner to continue chasing points for the Huaxia team.

Before the audience's cheers died down, the US team quickly completed a counterattack.

James dribbled the ball across half court and threw it high into the sky.

Howard caught the basketball with both hands and slammed it into the basket, completing an air relay.

Finally the first half ended.

41:53.

The Huaxia team only scored 14 points in the entire second quarter.

Jiang Chen alone made 3 3-pointers and scored 9 points.

Yao Ming scored 3 points.

The remaining players scored a total of 2 points...

This shows how bad the Chinese team's shooting percentage is.

The atmosphere in the stadium seemed a bit depressing.

All the spectators knew that the Chinese team might be beaten even worse in the second half of the game, but they still held on to a glimmer of hope.

The long halftime break is over.

The second half of the game begins.

The US team increased the intensity of the game again.

Anthony hit two three-pointers from the outside.

Kobe and James both broke through and made layups.

In less than two minutes, the U.S. team scored a 10:0 climax, directly widening the score difference to 22 points.

Jonas called two timeouts in a row.

But none of them could prevent the Chinese team from being defeated.

Then the US team began to rotate players, replacing them with Deron, Prince, Michael Reed and other players who had not played yet.

In the eyes of Coach K, the game has entered garbage time.

The stadium was deathly silent.

Seeing the Chinese team being brutally beaten, all the spectators felt desperate and heartbroken.

"Damn it! We tried so hard, but we still can't compete with the American team! Can't we even create gorgeous fireworks?"

Dayao said in great pain.

There were three big words written on his face - unwilling.

The rest of the players all looked gloomy.

"Brothers, we can't give up the game until the whistle blows."

"At least, we can't let the national audience see us lose our fighting spirit, which is more terrible than losing the game."

Jiang Chen clapped his hands and said along with his teammates.

He could clearly feel that except for Yao Ming, the fighting spirit of the other players was disappearing and their morale had already fallen to the bottom.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen, with helplessness in their eyes.

The score gap is so huge, how can we catch up?

Do we still expect Jiang Chen to complete a 22-point comeback in the second half like in the warm-up match against the Australian team?

That's totally impossible.

The US team and the Australian team are not opponents of the same level at all.

"It may be difficult for us to turn the tide, but we must not let the US team win too easily. Even if we can catch up by 1 point or 10 points, it can prove that we are still fighting."

Jiang Chen said, his eyes sparkling.

Now he is extremely eager to become stronger. If he can have a few more super-dimensional skills from "Kuroko's Basketball", he will definitely be able to compete with the entire US team on his own.

I am still too weak now.

However, he has not used the skill [Aomine Daiki's Unfixed Attack] in this game.

Now, he doesn't intend to hide anymore.

Even if we can't reverse the game, we'll still make the US team sweat!

Besides, he still has system tasks to complete.

At this time, James scored 18 points, and he also made 6 three-pointers and scored 18 points.

If two people have the same score, they cannot complete the task.

If you can't complete the task, you can't strengthen your own strength, how can you enter the finals and compete for the gold medal?

"When two meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins. Even if I run into a tiger's mouth, I will break off two teeth!"

"It's time to fight back!"
