Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 1276 Bloodbath the French Team
He felt that if he didn't call a timeout to adjust his tactics, Tang Tian could score seventy or eighty points on their heads alone.
Although Tang Tian had retired, he had only just retired, and the scoring explosiveness of the NBA's 102-point record holder was simply too terrifying.
When the timeout returned, the French team made a substitution, with Andrew Albicy replacing Ntilikina.
He was a 3D-type point guard.
He made an impact right away, going around Mbaye's screen and catching a pass from Batum, hitting a three-pointer from outside.
7 to 11.
This three-pointer was crucial.
Gomes also clenched his fist.
Although Fournier was shut down by Tang Tian, the French team was a more cohesive team, and their chances of winning were still greater.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt again, and the French team's defense changed.
Mbaye completely left Zhai Xiaochuan open and came to double-team him directly.
Gomes had obviously prepared before the game, Zhai Xiaochuan's three-pointer was unstable, and he was completely a point that could be left open on the court.
Tang Tian wasn't in a hurry to force an attack when he saw this, the purpose of the warm-up game wasn't just to watch him show off his individual ability.
He passed the ball to Ding Yanyuhang, and then made a new tactical gesture.
Yi Jianlian moved to the three-point line at the arc.
Gobert didn't come out, but Mbaye switched to defend him.
Obviously, the French team's defensive strategy was to use Gobert to guard the basket, and then use Mbaye's flexibility to help defend and double-team.
Tang Tian asked Ding Yanyuhang for the ball again, and moved to the right side with the ball.
Mbaye double-teamed again, and after Tang Tian waited for him to double-team in place, he made a no-look pass directly to Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian had a wide-open three-point opportunity, and he shot directly.
"Swish!"
He made the shot!
Since taking Tang Tian's advice to change his style of play, he was a rare 3D inside player in the NBA, and still had a 37% shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line with the Nets last season.
The FIBA three-point line was closer, and with Tang Tian's head-patting buff, his open shots were quite stable.
The cheers at the scene rose again.
Yi Jianlian returned a three-pointer to the French team!
14 to 7!
Gomes rubbed his forehead.
Tang Tian had the top-level personal scoring ability, and also had the top-level passing ability, it was too difficult to defend.
Fortunately, the Chinese team's inside strength was average, Gobert received a pass from Batum under the basket and turned around to score directly with a two-handed dunk.
This dunk also boosted the morale of the French team.
But back on the defensive end, Yi Jianlian stood on the three-point line again, and the French team had a headache again.
Gobert had no choice but to defend out.
Tang Tian continued to hold the ball, and Mbaye continued to help defend.
But as soon as he helped defend, Tang Tian made a direct pass to the basket through the gap, Zhai Xiaochuan cut in and caught the ball, and scored two more points with a layup!
Zhai Xiaochuan's three-pointer was unstable, but his cuts were very stable!
16 to 9!
The Chinese team firmly grasped the lead on the court.
"Defense! Defense!"
The Wuhan fans at the scene also began to exert their strength again, and the neat cheers and cheers were overwhelming.
The Chinese team's adrenaline soared, Yi Jianlian's help defense disrupted Batum's layup, and Zhai Xiaochuan flew to grab the defensive rebound.
The Chinese team successfully defended the French team's offense!
Back on the offensive end, with the same tactics, Yi Jianlian pulled Gobert to the three-point line.
This time the French team had help defense rotation, and Zhai Xiaochuan's cut was disrupted by the help defense.
But there were only five people on the court in total, two people double-teaming Tang Tian, and the remaining people helping defend would definitely leak people, and it would also take time for the people double-teaming Tang Tian to go back.
Although the French team had a high tactical literacy, this time was fleeting, but Tang Tian's reaction was faster, and he made a pass across half the court directly to Abdusalam on the other side of the baseline.
Abdusalam caught the ball and made a three-point fake to fly Batum, and rushed straight to the basket.
The French team showed tactical literacy, and Albicy helped defend in place.
Although he played the point guard position, he was strong and could defend from the point guard to the small forward position.
This help defense was wonderful, but Abdusalam didn't force the attack, but made a quick pass before the two came into contact.
The ball went straight to the free throw line, and Ding Yanyuhang cut in from the outside!
Ding Yanyuhang was an NBA-level player after all, and his judgment of the defense on the court was very accurate.
The French team's help defense couldn't switch over.
Ding Yanyuhang caught the ball and took off in one step.
"Boom!"
In the expectant eyes of the fans at the scene, Ding Yanyuhang directly dunked hard with both hands.
The entire Wuhan Sports Center was boiling.
The Chinese team's wave of offense was like mercury pouring down, pleasing to the eye, this was completely different from the feeling of playing against Japan in those two games before!
Sure enough, the existence of Tang Tian and Ding Yanyuhang had raised the overall strength of this team by two levels!
Gomes felt that he had two big heads at this time.
Facts had proved that with Tang Tian, this big bug, the Chinese team could also play this kind of perfect cooperation.
This was the role of a superstar in the team, and O'Neal's grandma theory was not completely nonsense.
What was even more fatal was that Tang Tian's physical strength was also abnormal.
Although it was his first game, and it was only a warm-up game, he played the entire first quarter, and didn't even sweat much.
After the first quarter, the Chinese team led the French team by 13 points with a score of 28 to 15.
International games were only 10 minutes per quarter, the Chinese team scored 28 points in a single quarter, and the French team's defense was blown up.
However, Gomes obviously wouldn't give up easily, although it was a warm-up game, the French team had never lost to the Chinese team before.
In the opening stage of the second quarter, he used Ntilikina and De Colo in the backcourt, two NBA-level outside players, obviously wanting to close the score in this stage.
However, on the Chinese team's side, Ding Yanyuhang, who had been substituted early in the first quarter to rest, was substituted to lead the team.
He also showed his NBA-level strength in this stage, scoring all kinds of points with breakthroughs and outside shots.
The Chinese team's strongest shooting guard was confirmed.
The French team failed to narrow the score in this stage, and when Tang Tian came back again, they could only watch the score continue to widen.
After halftime, the Chinese team was leading the French team by as much as 20 points.
The fans at the scene were already hyped to the max, they could also experience the feeling of beating the French team!
When the third quarter returned, the French team launched a fierce counterattack, but with Tang Tian in charge, the Chinese team didn't panic, and the point difference was still 20 points after the third quarter.
In the last quarter, Gomes showed his French style and directly substituted the bench to surrender at the beginning.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated the French team 87 to 67 and won the warm-up game.
This was also the Chinese team's another victory over the French team after the Rio Olympics.
Tang Tian had a game-high 19 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, Ding Yanyuhang had 16 points, Yi Jianlian had 13 points and 7 rebounds, and Abdusalam had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
On the French team's side, Batum had a team-high 16 points, Gobert contributed a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Albicy had 9 points.
Fournier was marked by Tang Tian throughout the game and didn't score a single point.
