—————————————————————————————————————————————

The FIBA three-point line itself is shorter than the NBA's. Wang Chong's usual shooting distance is a bit farther than the NBA's three-point line. Here, it's normal to shoot from one or two meters behind the three-point line.

He felt good today and confidently hit the first shot.

Wang Chong and Dayao each scored a basket, immediately giving the Huaguo men's basketball team a 5-0 start. It's important to note that the opponent is the strongest Dream Team imaginable. The advantage in the early stages of the game, even if it's only the brief time at the beginning, was enough to make all the Chinese spectators watching on TV cheer loudly.

Director Zhang, who had just made a bold statement but was slapped in the face by Wang Chong, felt a bit embarrassed.

"Ahem, this is the super scoring ability of the three-time NBA scoring champion. Wang Chong is recognized in the NBA as a super scorer, second only to Jordan in scoring ability. He relies on his precise mid-range and long-range shots. He is comparable to the interior players. With the height and wingspan of a center, his shot is almost uninterrupted and, in fact, quite stable."

On the court, the Chinese men's basketball team had taken a 5-0 lead, which embarrassed the Dream Team a little.

Since James and Anthony couldn't score on two attempts, it was Kobe's turn. After all, the remaining two, Kidd and Howard, weren't strong offensive options.

Kobe faced Zhu Fangyu, and the gap in strength was quite large. With just a simple change of direction, Kobe easily passed by Zhu Fangyu and charged toward the paint.

Of course, because the Chinese team had Dayao protecting the basket, Kobe had no intention of attacking the paint to compete with the opponent. His choice was also one of his best moves, a jump shot after a quick drive.

Kobe, who had been accelerating his run, suddenly braked to a stop. The defender chasing him was caught off guard, and the inertia of his body made him stumble a long way.

At the same time, Kobe kneeled and jumped, elevating his body in the air, aiming at the basket with the ball in his hand.

Just as Kobe was about to take the shot, a tall figure suddenly appeared from the side, filling the gap left by Zhu Fangyu at the critical moment.

"Huh?"

Kobe's pupils suddenly contracted, and in the brief moment of suspension in the air, Kobe could clearly see the person in front of him. Who else could it be but Wang Chong?

Wang Chong suddenly emerged from the air, completely surprising Kobe. He hadn't expected such a timely defense, which caused Kobe to hesitate and delay his shot until he reached the highest point of his jump.

It was this small window that Wang Chong seized. After the basketball left Kobe's hand, Wang Chong lightly grazed it with the tips of his fingers. It was so slight that the camera might not have caught it, but for a shot, even the smallest touch could completely alter the ball's flight path.

Thud—!

The ball hit the front of the rim. Dayao pushed Howard under the basket and grabbed the rebound.

After landing, Kobe gave Wang Chong a deep look.

As a strong opponent he had faced over five consecutive games in the finals, Kobe knew Wang Chong quite well.

And he knew that, under normal circumstances, Wang Chong wouldn't waste energy on such pointless things.

So what if he blocked this attack? There were 48 minutes in a game, and even on the international stage, it's 40 minutes. A couple of rounds couldn't directly determine the outcome.

Wang Chong's weak physical condition wasn't a secret in the league. The Bulls always tried to avoid letting Wang Chong expend too much energy defensively. Normally, Wang Chong would only seriously help and compensate for defense during critical moments.

This job was typically handled by Kevin Garnett for the Bulls.

At that moment, Wang Chong, who rushed to defend Kobe, did remind one of Garnett.

It wasn't surprising. Wang Chong's height and wingspan were similar to Garnett's. In terms of athletic ability, except for jumping, Wang Chong was not far behind Garnett. As long as he was willing, it wasn't impossible for Wang Chong to reach Garnett's defensive range, almost halfway down the court.

It's just that, compared to his defensive talent, Wang Chong's offensive ability was obviously greater. It would be better to conserve his precious physical energy for offense rather than expend it on defense, throwing cannonballs at the opposing team wholeheartedly.

If Wang Chong wanted to balance offense and defense in this game, he'd probably be exhausted before the final quarter.

Once Wang Chong's energy was depleted, the Chinese men's basketball team would naturally have nothing to fear!

Of course, Wang Chong knew this, but he had no other choice.

The Chinese men's basketball team wasn't the Bulls. Without Garnett, if they wanted to defeat the Dream Team, they had to give it their all. Wang Chong couldn't even consider conserving energy, because once the situation turned passive, there was a high chance the team would be defeated completely, and no matter how much Wang Chong wanted to change the course of the game, it would be too late.

Fortunately, Wang Chong had made preparations before the Olympics, improving his physical ability from 92 to 97 through training modules.

As a reference, Kobe, James, and others with a skill rating of 99 could play the entire game while performing at their peak in both offense and defense. Wang Chong, with a physical rating of 97, couldn't even manage it in a 48-minute NBA game in 40 minutes. If he gritted his teeth through the Olympics, he might still have a chance to survive.

Also, Wang Chong wasn't alone on the Chinese men's basketball team.

On the court, Dayao continued to play one-on-one with Howard. This time, he didn't choose to attack under the basket. Instead, he stepped out for a pick-and-roll with Sun Yue, then received a return pass. Stepping away from the free-throw line, he made a jumper.

7-0!

The cheers in Wukesong Arena echoed loudly.

"A dream start! A dream start!"

Director Zhang was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

"From the beginning of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team gave the world's number one team, the U.S., a run for their money. They were able to beat the Dream Team 7-0 at the start. Looking at the world, only a few teams could do this. Now, the Chinese men's basketball team has done it!"

The continued offensive misses and repeated baskets by the Chinese team began to frustrate the Dream Team.

James once again drove the ball. His fierce charge, like a tank, knocked Wang Chong aside as he sprinted toward the paint, facing Dayao with a one-handed dunk to score.

When the ball slammed through the basket, the referee's whistle blew at the same time.

A smile appeared on James's face. His past NBA experience told him that this was a beautiful 2+1. He had finally scored for the Dream Team.

But the next moment, he was stunned, as the position referee made a direct gesture.

Violation—Traveling.

"Violation? How could it be a violation? That was clearly a good shot!" James couldn't help but open his hands in complaint to the referee.

But the referee ignored him completely.

"Demo, do you think I don't watch NBA games? Do you call that a good shot? Since when have basketball rules allowed six steps in a layup?"

He could clearly see that after James used his strength to shove Wang Chong aside, his steps weren't clear, and he took an extra step while looking.

A walk is a walk. We don't have NBA rules where games serve for rankings and enjoyment in FIBA.

At that moment, Old K, the head coach of the Dream Team, who had been sitting on the sideline, couldn't stay still. He couldn't help but get up and walk to the sidelines, frowning.

He could clearly see from the sidelines that several consecutive offensive mistakes had made the Dream Team players anxious.

Indeed, the Dream Team had some of the strongest players in the world, but without exception, these players were all improvisational, and the team composition for each Olympic Games changed considerably, which was completely different from other national basketball teams.

This was also one of the flaws of the talented U.S. men's basketball team. There was a lack of implicit understanding among the players, they didn't trust each other, and all of them thought they could lead the team.

After all, all 12 players participating in the Olympics were basically the stars of their respective teams, the absolute core of their tactics.

The Chinese men's basketball team was different. Not only had they competed in the Athens Olympics four years ago, but over those four years, they had also played in the World Championship, the Asian Championship, the Asian Games, and even the Stankovic Intercontinental Cup. The players were mostly the same. It was the current main lineup of the team, including Dayao, who had participated in many of the games, except for Wang Chong.

Therefore, despite the huge gap in overall strength, the Chinese men's basketball team cooperated more tacitly and was determined to play around the offensive core of the team.

The loss of the U.S. men's basketball team in the 2004 Athens Olympics and in recent World Championships was partly due to the weak lineup, but also because of these issues.

Wang Chong doesn't care whether you are sick or not. Now the Chinese men's basketball team has the advantage in the field and its momentum completely overwhelms the opponent.

Therefore, he will not consider the issue of physical distribution in the backline. In this offensive round, he directly seizes the ball and uses his best and most reliable pick-and-roll to catch and shoot in the mid-range shot. In front of Anthony, who is defending, he scores another goal consistently.

9:0!

The U.S. men's basketball team finally couldn't hold on any longer and took the initiative to call a timeout.

The Chinese men's basketball players who came off the court were extremely excited. They could not even dream of playing against the Dream Team on the court.

Wang Chong and Dayao scored 9 points for the Chinese men's basketball team. The dream team with a strong offense was unstoppable.

But this pause made Wang Chong's heart sink a little.

Old K is indeed a legendary coach, rich in experience and very sophisticated.

This time to pause the selection is very good, it is when the Chinese men's basketball team is full of momentum.

As the saying goes, you work hard, then exhaust it, and three times weaken.

Old K may not know the art of war passed down from ancient China, but he is quite skilled and ruthless in its use.

But what worries Wang Chong most is not that the Chinese men's basketball team has finally gone cold, but that the U.S. men's basketball team is adjusting its lineup.

Indeed, what are you afraid of?

After the timeout, the two teams returned to the court and the U.S. men's basketball team made adjustments to its lineup.

Kidd and Howard were substituted, and Wade and Bosh were replaced.

As a veteran, Kidd has a wealth of experience and can control the overall situation, but in fact, on the dream team where superstars gather, there is no need for organization or support. Give the ball to any one of the five people and let the other. The group uses their personal skill to attack and scoring is a more efficient option.

As a defender who is good at getting open with the ball, Wade is a big threat to the Chinese men's basketball team.

With Dayao around, the Chinese men's basketball team has no fear of a bully like James breaking through. Dayao's 140-kilogram weight is not a good look.

But when he faces Wade, who is gifted with speed and has an excellent European magic step, a big and heavy center like Yao looks a bit clumsy.

Not only that, Wade's defense is actually fiercer and more aggressive than Kobe's. In the future, many people will believe that when Kobe won the best first defense for several consecutive seasons, Wade deserved it more than Kobe. Whether it's stealing data or defensive efficiency, Wade is the one who performs better.

What is the Chinese men's basketball team most afraid of? Full-court press, of course.

Wade's strength, speed and explosiveness are completely crushed, and Wade, who is also extremely fierce in fighting, can imagine the lethality of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In fact, in the 2008 Olympics, Wade was the best performer on the Dream Team.

As the sixth man of the Dream 8 Team, Wade played almost as a substitute during the entire Olympic Games, but he became the leading scorer of the Dream 8 Team with an average of 16 points per game. At the same time, his 67.1% shooting from the field. The percentage was the highest outside of post players. Of course, Kidd's average of 1.6 points per game and 85.7% shooting can't be counted.

While the offensive side has become the Dream Eight team's strongest offensive firepower, Wade is also the Dream Eight team's strongest shield on the defensive side, averaging 2.3 steals per game and ranking first on the team.

Wang Chong, who had watched videos of the Olympic games before time travel, was deeply impressed by Wade's performance, no matter what team he played against, Wade would always be able to steal from the opponent and then perform lightning-fast counter-attacking dunks.

Compared with Wade, Bosh doesn't seem to have much chance in the Olympics.

But in Wang Chong's opinion, this is a more troublesome guy than Wade, because he didn't play the power forward position like in the NBA in the Olympics, but shared playing time with center Howard.

Yes, Bosh was actually a center during the Olympics.

Ten years from now, it may be normal for Bosh to play center. After all, in the small-ball era, an inside who doesn't have accurate mid- and long-range shots is only qualified to be a blue-collar center. averaging about 20 minutes of playing time per game.

But in this era, Bosh as a center is still something very innovative. Let's not talk about whether it works well when he plays against other teams. At least the Chinese men's basketball team is quite uncomfortable when facing him.

A very simple question, when Bosh ran to the corner and stood outside the three-point line, looking like a hanging saltfish, did Yao protect himself from stepping out or not?

At the time, Bosh didn't have the three-point ability, but mid-range shooting from about 20 feet away was his primary method of scoring.

Once Dayao is taken out of the penalty area, the strongest defense line of the Chinese men's basketball team will disappear.

Wang Chong really got it right.

After returning from the timeout, Bosh had no intention of going inside and stood far away near the three-point line in the right corner. Dayao simply hesitated for a moment and didn't defend, and Wade had already passed the ball to Bosh. in hands.

Bosh caught the ball and shot from 18 feet from the basket.

9: 2, this was the first goal for the American Dream Team Eight. The scoring drought was broken and everyone on the bench for the American men's basketball team finally breathed a sigh of relief.
