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

The effect of the Dream Team 8's formation change was immediate. The American men's basketball team, which had originally been struggling offensively, broke its scoring drought.

 In the following rounds, with Wade and Bosh under control, the offense became much smoother. Especially Wade, as Wang Chong had expected, once Wade entered the game, he immediately demonstrated his value on the defensive side, and his extremely aggressive play left Sun Yue, the primary point guard of the Chinese men's basketball team, confused and unable to resist.

With the slightest mistake, Wade immediately completed the steal and added a one-stop fast break.

As a last resort, the Chinese men's basketball team could only activate plan B and let Wang Chong hold the ball.

With a ball-handling skill value of 92, even if Wade personally defended Wang Chong, it would be difficult to steal from him in a head-to-head confrontation.

However, as a result, Wang Chong took on more work, and his physical energy was consumed more quickly.

The Mengba team would not discuss martial arts with Wang Chong. The biggest advantage of the Mengba team is that they don't lack players.

James was taken off the court a few minutes later and replaced by Tayshaun Prince, a well-known defensive expert on the front line.

Of course, Prince couldn't guard Wang Chong, but his height and arm length were better than James's. At least he had an advantage over James in terms of defending shots. His main task on the court was to continue exhausting Wang Chong on defense. Physical fitness.

Can't stop you from scoring? That doesn't matter. I'll wear you down, right? This trick generally doesn't work in the NBA, because Wang Chong at least has one or two helpers around him. For example, the Bulls, who won the championship this season, have two stars, Garnett and Billups, to share the offensive pressure. With him, no other team can be as luxurious as the Dream Team, which takes turns organizing players to specifically target Wang Chong. This treatment is comparable to James in the future Qiyong battle.

The only person Wang Chong could rely on on the court was Dayao. During the game, the Arab League also tried to attack to reduce the load and share the pressure between the two, but the effect was obviously not good. Even when facing Anthony, who was much shorter than him, it was still difficult for the Arab League to score easily in front of the opponent. Although several shots were made, the efficiency was not satisfactory, and on the contrary, it was not as efficient as Wang Chong's ball handling attack.

Under these circumstances, the situation gradually began to shift.

When the first quarter ended, the Chinese men's basketball team was leading by 3 points, 22:19.

Although the Chinese men's basketball team maintained the lead on the scoreboard, compared to the huge advantage of 9:0 at the beginning, the 3-point lead was already very small, and only a three-pointer could tie the score.

Although there was no advantage in points, the high-intensity battle in the first quarter had already exhausted the Chinese men's basketball team's main lineup. The physical energy consumption of other players was slightly better.

After all, in the first quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team had the support of Wang Chong and Dayao, especially Dayao, who not only had to attack and score in the paint but also served as the last line of defense for the Chinese men's basketball team in the paint and took considerable responsibility on the defensive end.

Yao, who was already injured and not in full health, was already a little exhausted by the end of the first quarter.

During the break, Dayao had a towel on his head, his shirt was completely soaked in sweat, and his chest was heaving.

Wang Chong knew that Dayao was about to reach his limit and couldn't hold on any longer. If he continued playing with the same intensity as in the first quarter into the second, it wasn't clear whether his body could handle it, and the risk of injury would also increase considerably.

"Brother Yao, you need to rest off the court in the second quarter and recover as much as possible. You may still need to carry the weight in the third quarter," Wang Chong said to Dayao.

Upon hearing this, Dayao immediately shook his head without thinking.

"No, as soon as I leave the field, the advantage I've finally established will disappear in an instant! Even if I have to give my life here today, I will keep playing the whole game."

The centennial Olympics are still the territory of China. The cheering fans in the field can easily arouse the enthusiasm of the players, and Dayao is certainly no exception. Despite being injured in the playoffs, he insists on playing again, even against the advice of the team doctor when the team is winning.

But Wang Chong had his own considerations. If Yao Zhen got injured because he was worried about the outcome of a group-stage match and couldn't participate in the following games, the gain would outweigh the loss.

Although Dayao didn't suffer any injuries in the original 2008 Olympics, they were no longer the 2008 Olympics.

Wang Chong's inclusion gave Dayao a real hope of defeating the Dream Team and also made him work harder on the court. Winning a game against the invincible Dream Team in the Olympics is definitely enough for them!

This is a completely different concept from the original game against the United States in the 2008 group stage. Although the Chinese men's basketball team at that time had no intention of admitting defeat from the beginning and fought fiercely on the court, everyone knew that they were definitely the underdogs. But your opponent, even if they can't beat you while you run, will still make you lose a layer of skin. Even if you lose, you must get up and lose.

The difference in mentality determines the different efforts of the players on the court.

It can be seen that Dayao is really planning to fight for his life! Perhaps he also knows that 2008 will be the last Olympics of his career. He doesn't want to regret these Olympics and will never let it pass, even if there is a slight chance.

Wang Chong thought for a moment and said to Dayao: "You'll take a rest in the second quarter to not abandon the game. On the contrary, it's to defeat your opponent. That's why you need to recharge and continue to lead the team in your best condition." The team advances. During the time you're off the court, I can assure you that it's absolutely impossible for the Dream Team to surpass the score!"

As soon as Wang Chong said this, the surrounding Chinese men's basketball players froze collectively.

With his dominating speech, Wang Chong planned to defeat the Dream Team by himself in the next game.

Everyone looked at Wang Chong with calm expressions and admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

This courage alone is beyond the reach of many people.

No wonder he's the new NBA champion and FMVP.

Dayao looked at Wang Chong with some concern in his heart. Is it really okay to let Wang Chong bear all the pressure on the court alone? But now that the conversation has come to this point, he actually knows that proper rest and recovery of physical strength will be more helpful for the later games, as long as Wang Chong really can withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Dream Team.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you!"

The second quarter of the game was about to start. The Chinese men's basketball players gathered on the sideline and shouted, "Team Huaguo! Go!" which also drew applause from the fans on the sidelines.

Players from both sides reappeared, and the Dream Team 8 also saw the Chinese men's basketball team lineup for the second quarter.

The point guard Liu Wei, shooting guard Wang Shipeng, small forward Wang Chong, power forward Ah Lian, and center Dazhi.

In fact, Dayao did not continue playing, which somewhat exceeded their expectations. Although they also knew that Dayao was very tired after playing the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team really felt that only Wang Chong could resist their Mengba team's offense.

The lineup sent by the Dream Team at this time was also quite different from the first quarter. Wade, who had entered to change the situation midway through the first quarter, remained on the court, but his position was changed from point guard to shooting guard, and the point guard position was changed to Chris Paul.

The point guard Paul, shooting guard Wade, small forward James, power forward Carlos Boozer, and center Howard.

The Dream Team 8's lineup is extremely athletic, especially the three perimeter players, all of whom are masters of drives. With Dayao no longer protecting the basket for the Chinese men's basketball team, the interior defense would face a tough test.

The second quarter began.

The Chinese men's basketball team had a baseline ball. Wang Chong dribbled the ball past half-court under James's entanglement, then stood at the top of the three-point line and slowly waited for the 24-second shot clock to run out.

Slowing the game pace to the maximum, reducing offensive rounds, and saving energy were Wang Chong's main strategies for the second quarter.

With 10 seconds left on the shot clock, Wang Chong finally started to act. The Arab League came out from inside to cover Wang Chong in the pick-and-roll to separate James's defense. Wang Chong ran directly into the paint and avoided Boozer's defense, stopping for a jumper before Howard came to help defend.

Just a step from the free-throw line, Wang Chong's jumper had an astonishingly high accuracy rate and he made it consistently.

The score difference between the two teams was once again 5 points.

The Dream Team attacked, James and Wade cooperated on a pick-and-roll, and the latter rushed into the penalty area and scored with another violent one-handed dunk.

The Huaguo men's basketball team attacked. Wang Chong broke through with the ball, faced the frame, and passed to James with a butterfly step to score a layup.

Unconsciously, the second quarter of the game directly became a competition between Wang Chong and the stars of the Mengba team in terms of scoring ability.

Wang Chong runs almost every ball for the Chinese men's basketball team. His main task is to find a way to pass the ball to Wang Chong in each round.

This kind of superhero act of fighting alone against the whole team stunned countless fans in front of the TV.

Many Olympic viewers who had not paid much attention to basketball before did not even remember the names of the players on the court, but they could also see that Wang Chong was really strong. He scored several shots and was simply unstoppable on the court.

"It's amazing. No wonder the country is actively promoting Wang Chong's return to Chinese citizenship."

"With Wang Chong, the Chinese men's basketball team should be able to take a prominent position in the basketball world, right? After all, even the American Dream Team can't do anything to Wang Chong, this is too strong!"

"Come on Wang Chong! Come on, Chinese men's basketball team! Defeat the Yankees and win the Olympic gold medal to show our country's prestige!"

Wang Chong's powerful offense not only won over the fans in front of the TV, but also convinced the coaching staff on the Dream Team's bench.

In the second half of the game, Lao K no longer talked about martial ethics and directly arranged for the players to form a double team with Wang Chong.

For a long time, in the international arena, teams from other countries have always double-teamed with the American Dream Team. It has almost never happened that the star players of the Dream Team have double-teamed with their opponents.

But today they don't care about the face at all. After all, if Wang Chong and Hua Guo's men's basketball team were defeated in this game, they would lose all the face.

The large number of double teams significantly reduced the frequency of Wang Chong's subsequent attacks, but at the same time, it also resulted in a Chinese men's basketball player being left open in the field.

The Huaguo men's basketball team took the opportunity to make adjustments to the lineup, replacing Zhu Fangyu as a small forward, and Wang Chong replaced the outgoing Arab League as a power forward.

Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu on the outside were full of firepower. Anyone who received the pass in an open position would perform without hesitation.

Even if the Mengba team's defense is faster, they will still give plenty of space to shoot.

Although the hit rate is not very high and he is very different from Wang Chong, at least he can score.

Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng scored three points, and Liu Wei also had a free throw opportunity and hit 1 of 2 free throws.

This led to the fact that even if Mengba's team double-teamed Wang Chong, they could not quickly overcome the score. When the 10 minutes of the second quarter ended, the two teams tied at 22:22 in one quarter. The point difference still remained at 3. points!

Wang Chong hit 5 of 11 shots in a single quarter, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 15 points and 4 rebounds.

15 points in a single quarter is something a superstar as strong as Wang Chong can achieve very easily, but that's in the NBA, not in the FIBA arena of the Olympics.

The playing time in a single quarter is reduced by 2 minutes, and when the opponent has been targeting or even double-teaming for the whole quarter, you can imagine how hard it is to score 15 points in a single quarter.

When the whistle blew at the end of the second quarter, Wang Chong's feet became weak and he almost stumbled and fell.

The intensity of facing the whole dream team alone is really unbelievable.

Although he had strengthened his physical strength to almost the full value of 97, Wang Chong was still completely exhausted and relied solely on his willpower to endure on the field.

Fortunately, Wang Chong has a badge called perpetual motion shooter. Although it is just a silver badge, the effect of this badge is to reduce the negative impact of players' shots after physical exhaustion.

This allows Wang Chong to maintain a certain percentage of shots even though he has no strength. Especially when he is in an open position, his shooting efficiency is not much worse.

This allows Wang Chong to maintain a certain percentage of shots even though he lacks strength. Especially when he is in an open position, his shooting efficiency is not much worse.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

After Wang Chong left the field, he sat on the bench, his chest heaving violently, he took the sports drink handed to him by someone and drank it in one gulp.

Dayao seriously said to Wang Chong, "Have a good rest in the third quarter and pass the baton to me calmly!".

During the second quarter of the game, because the Dream Team could never tie the score, Dayao was able to rest on the court at ease. The 10 minutes of play, plus the timeout and dead ball time, and the 15 minutes. In the midfield During the timeout, Dayao actually rested for almost half an hour and his physical strength had recovered to some extent.

But what Dayao and the other men's basketball players did not expect was for Wang Chong to gasp and shake his head.

"I'll keep playing in the third quarter!"
