Chapter 61: Three Consecutive Points at the Start! Defeat the Spanish Team
Bang!
A crisp sound.
Yao Ming was the first to take the shot of the basketball.
As soon as Liu Wei received the basketball, he passed it high.
The faces of the players of the Spanish team all changed.
Where is this basketball going?
Following the direction the basketball was flying, everyone was surprised to find that Jiang Chen had somehow moved outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left.
There was no one in front of him.
Navarro was standing near the center line and didn't know when Jiang Chen ran over.
Catch the basketball.
Bend your knees, jump, raise your elbows, and flick the ball.
A three-pointer shot out.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
Less than 5 seconds after the start of the game, the Chinese team completed an attack.
The speed is amazingly fast.
The entire audience exclaimed in surprise.
"Nice pass."
Jiang Chen made an OK gesture towards Liu Wei, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The raid was a success!
Liu Wei was also very emotional and waved his arms vigorously.
Just before the jump ball, Jiang Chen ran to Liu Wei and told him to pass the ball to the left at a 45-degree angle as soon as he got the ball.
I didn't expect it to actually succeed.
The moment Yao Ming jumped, Jiang Chen had already run to the front court.
This is a bet that Yao Ming can win the jump ball.
If the ball is in the hands of Spain, Jiang Chen will have to return to defense and there is a possibility that he will miss someone.
"This round of attack is really fast! Is this the new tactic of the Chinese team?"
The on-site commentator Yu Jia said excitedly.
"This play really brought out Jiang Chen's strengths. Everyone's attention was on the jump ball between Yao Ming and Gasol. No one noticed that Jiang Chen had already run across the front court when the two of them were jumping the ball."
Yang Yi sighed, his tone full of surprise.
"It feels like the Chinese team was more active today than in the last game against the U.S. team."
Yu Jia said with a smile.
"Yes! The boys of the men's basketball team are very motivated. Let's not say anything today. We are here just to win."
"Don't worry about whether you can win or not, you must not lose in momentum."
"Although we lost to the United States in the last game, it greatly improved the players' confidence. We can clearly see that the players' mental outlook on the court is different."
Yang Yi said, with anticipation in his eyes.
Today may be the best chance for the Chinese men's basketball team to win against the Spanish team in history!
Yu Jia also looked at the court with shining eyes.
I wondered in my heart, can I win?
On the court.
Spain attacks.
Ruby Olympic ball passed half court.
Gasol Jr. mentioned high-post assists and screens.
As a future all-around center, Gasol's passing talent is top-notch.
Navarro ran into an open opportunity, received the basketball and made a three-pointer.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
3:3.
The Huaxia team attacked, Liu Wei dribbled across half court and made a gesture.
The players started to move.
Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian moved together to the left, and Jiang Chen passed between them.
Navarro was blocked behind by two people.
Elevator door tactics!
Jiang Chen received the pass from Liu Wei in time and made another three-pointer.
Swish!
Hit again.
"Hmm? The Chinese team has obviously changed after today's game!"
"In the last game, the Huaxia team started the game around Dayao. No matter how they attacked, they had to get past Dayao's hands."
"But today, it was clear that the Huaxia team was attacking around Jiang Chen, and they even used the elevator door tactic."
Yang Yi said in surprise.
"And I felt that Jiang Chen's offensive desire today was very strong. He hit two three-pointers in a row at the beginning of the game. It was different from the last game, when he didn't seem to be involved in the first few minutes."
Yu Jia followed up with this.
Spain attacks.
Navarro got another chance to shoot, but unfortunately he missed this time.
Dayao grabbed the defensive rebound, passed it to Liu Wei and quickly started a fast break.
Jiang Chen ran to the frontcourt immediately. After receiving the pass, he saw Navarro was still behind him, so he stopped suddenly near the center line and shot a logo three-pointer with no one defending him.
The basketball drew a long, high arc.
Swish!
Hollow into the net.
Instantly, the whole audience was boiling.
The 20,000 spectators at the scene were completely stimulated by Jiang Chen's long three-pointer, and their adrenaline surged, and they felt as if the blood was about to gush out of their chests.
"f**k, Jiang Chen was so strong at the start today, hitting three three-pointers in a row, it made my scalp tingle."
"Invincible! This three-point shot is truly invincible!"
"If Jiang Chen continues to be so hot, he might have a chance to beat the Spanish team!"
"This ticket is so worth it! Is the start of this game so exciting?"
The audience was talking and shouting Jiang Chen's name so loudly that it seemed as if the sound would tear their throats.
The players of the Spanish team were also a little stunned, even a little at a loss.
How to defend against this Chinese rookie who is in such hot form?
It seems that the coach didn't have a clear defensive strategy just now!
The coach of the Spanish team on the sidelines had a gloomy face and cold sweat on his back.
Why did this damn player No. 12 explode at the beginning of the game?
This put the Spanish team in a passive position at the start!
"Navarro, Fernandez, as soon as the No. 12 player crosses half court, double-team him. We can let go of a Chinese guard's shot."
The coach of the Spanish team spoke loudly in Spanish.
After thinking all night, he still couldn't figure out how to defend Jiang Chen specifically. After all, the three-point shooting range and hit rate of this Chinese player were too terrifying.
As long as you are at any position in the half court, you can shoot three-pointers, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of defense.
Even if someone is assigned to closely guard him, Jiang Chen can still use his own movement to get rid of the opponent.
The only method that can be tried now is double-teaming.
The most accurate player of the Huaxia team from beyond the three-point line is Jiang Chen, followed by the No. 8 player (Zhu Fangyu), who is currently sitting on the bench.
The shooting ability of the remaining players can be completely ignored.
...
The Spanish team attacks.
Rubio organized the offense and passed the ball to Gasol.
Gasol played one-on-one against Yao Ming, and after continuous shaking, he turned sideways and made a hook shot, which hit the target steadily.
The Chinese team still plays fast.
Only after realizing there was no chance did they slow down the pace and engage in positional warfare.
Jiang Chen received the basketball, and Navarro and Fernandez quickly sandwiched him.
He passed the ball in time and passed it to Sun Yue.
Then, he took advantage of the double screen of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian to go around the three-point line in the corner and received the pass.
Navarro and Fernandez both bypassed the cover and rushed towards Jiang Chen.
However, Jiang Chen was not afraid at all. Even when Sun Yue was standing at the top of the arc and was completely open, he did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he jumped up and shot against the defense.
Swish.
Once again, the ball went into the net.
He made four consecutive three-pointers at the start.
Not only the audience, but even the players of the Huaxia team roared with excitement.
What the hell.
It was so fierce.
Jiang Chen raised his hands high, his eyes flashing with a strong desire to attack, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Can you restrict me by double-teaming?
