Durant felt some changes in Xia Yan's defense behind him. He immediately dribbled the ball behind his back and turned around leaning on Xia Yan. His strong body directly knocked away Xia Yan's left hand and cut inside. "Kevin successfully got rid of Xia, this is an opportunity!" Hoffman shouted. Xia Yan did not give up the pursuit because he was temporarily thrown away by Durant. Durant took a heavy step. He jumped off the ground, grabbed the ball with his right hand and flew towards the basket. Yao Ming on the inside obviously couldn't catch up in time, and it seemed that dunks were inevitable. The moment Durant took off, Xia Yan, who was half a body behind Durant, also kicked off the ground. The extra-long arm was stretched out as much as possible and reached for Durant¡¯s right hand as quickly as possible. The basket was right in front of him, Durant roared and smashed the ball towards the basket. ¡°Xia didn¡¯t give up, he was going to touch the basketball.¡± Bill Walton exclaimed. Xia Yan, who was chasing in the air, was a head higher than Durant, and his right hand was getting closer and closer to the ball in Durant's hand. Durant also felt the pressure from behind and wanted to speed up. Just when the basketball was less than thirty centimeters from the basket. Xia Yan's right hand caught up with the ball. "Bang!" Xia Yan's palm collided violently with the surface of the basketball. Although Durant held the ball with his right hand, the ball still escaped Durant's control when it was hit hard from the side. At the same time, Xia Yan also swept forward with his left hand. The ball leaving Durant's hand was directly carried by Xia Yan's left hand to his right hand. Fans watching the game around the world were shocked. Xia Yan, who grabbed the ball with both hands in the air, landed steadily. "Is this okay?" "It's really perverted to the extreme." "What is this? Blocking the shot with the right hand. Taking the ball with the left hand to meet the right hand? Picking the ball in the air?" Discussions were heard everywhere. Everyone was obviously shocked by the way Xia Yan blocked the shot this time. Xia Yan passed the ball to Sun Yue. Immediately cover Sun Yue for half the game. Durant didn't have time to worry and quickly defended, but everyone was still immersed in Xia Yan's inhuman block just now. Returning to the offensive end again, Xia Yan still did not enter the inside, but stood above the free throw line. Sun Yue handed the ball to Xia Yan again. Durant also pressed forward again. The block just now was a huge shame for Durant, and it was in front of fans in nearly 190 countries around the world. Xia Yan felt Durant's murderous gaze. Xia Yan held the ball in his hands and raised his fingers. Both Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue started to move, running continuously from the bottom line to the high position. When Zhu Fangyu ran into a short space on the right side of the three-second zone and Sun Yue also ran near the right corner, Xia Yan immediately passed the ball over. But Harden pounced on Zhu Fangyu as soon as he caught the ball, and Zhu Fangyu immediately gave the ball to Sun Yue. After Sun Yue caught the ball, he passed the ball to Xia Yan again before Westbrook pounced on him. At this time, Yi Jianlian, who had been pulled to the high post, used Sun Yue's screen to get rid of Odom's defense and pulled outside the three-point line. Xia Yan immediately passed the ball. Yi Jianlian received the ball steadily. Since Xia Yan passed the ball very comfortably, Yi Jianlian hardly had to adjust. Xia Yan, who passed the ball out, immediately cut inside, preparing to grab the rebound. After receiving the ball, Yi Jianlian shot directly from the three-point line. When Odom pounced on him, it was already too late. The ball drew an arc in the air. He got into the basket cleanly. "Ah Lian, you shot well!" Xia Yan shouted at Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian smiled and ran towards Xia Yan. The two of them high-fived each other. "Yi Yi hits a three-pointer. He can shoot three-pointers in the NBA, not to mention FIBA, and this ball has a completely open shot. China's cover tactics are very good." Hoffman praised. With two consecutive goals from Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, China caught up to only 6 points behind. But for Xia Yan, his test began again, and Durant, the scoring champion, caught the ball again. When Durant catches the ball. Xia Yan appeared in front of Durant for the first time. Durant made a basic triple threat action in front of Xia Yan and looked at Xia Yan with cold eyes. Xia Yan opened his mouth: "Don't look at me like that. This is just a game. We will continue to compete when we return to the NBA." At this moment, Durant started dribbling. ?Then sprint directly. Seeing Durant move, Xia Yan immediately moved to prepare to defend, but unexpectedly everyone blocked him. Xia Yan didn't care and quickly bypassed Harden who was covering for Durant. Durant has crossed the free throw line. However, Xia Yan did not give up and continued to catch up. Because of Xia Yan¡¯s inhuman block on Durant on the defensive end last time, fans did not dare to conclude that Xia Yan¡¯s defense failed so quickly. Yao Ming on the inside and Yi Jianlian on the inside are both ready. Durant did not rush in but took a big step inside the free throw line and threw the ball towards the basket. And at the same time Durant took off. Xia Yan, who was chasing behind him, stepped directly onto the free throw line and took off. The height of 2.13 is particularly eye-catching in the air, but what is different this time from the last time he blocked Durant is that Xia Yan did not simply slap the ball away from behind. Instead, he was waving a fly swatter to swat flies, raising his right hand high and slapping Durant directly. When Durant made a throw, Xia Yan's right hand also reached in front of Durant and almost hit the ball. Just when people thought Xia Yan failed to catch up and block the shot, Xia Yan's body was still rising. Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but have their mouths grow bigger. Xia Yan's ability to stay in the air was completely beyond their imagination. Coupled with his advantages in height and jumping wingspan, Xia Yan's right hand seemed to pause in the air for a moment before using force. Fanned the ball into the air. Durant looked at Xia Yan flying past him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Bang!" Xia Yan's right hand slapped directly behind the basketball, and he flew towards the backboard with the ball. "Bang!" Everyone couldn't believe the scene in front of them. Xia Yan jumped from the free throw line to block the shot. Not only did he successfully block the shot, but he also nailed the ball to the backboard. Xia Yan took off the second time and grabbed the rebound. Xia Yan stood under the basket and made everyone feel scared. "He is not an earthling, not an earthling." Bill Walton said in a daze. Although he had already said that Xia Yan was not an earthling but a cosmic-level person, the impact of the scene in front of him was really too great. No one is not shocked. Free throw line dunks are rare and almost never appear in official games. Xia Yan's shot was a block shot from the free throw line, but more importantly, Xia Yan directly nailed the ball thrown by Durant from behind to the backboard. Blocking a shot on the board during a game is enough to get your blood pumping, let alone jumping from the free throw line to nail the ball onto the backboard. No matter how much people hate Xia Yan, they are speechless at this moment. In addition to horror, they don't know what other words can describe this block. "It's really indescribable. I have nothing to say. I think when I get older, if I still have basketball memories in my mind, then the shot-blocking scene will definitely be among them." Hoffman He said while watching the replay on the big screen. Durant¡¯s face was ugly, much uglier than before. He thought that the block just now was embarrassing enough, but he didn¡¯t expect that the block this time would be even more ruthless. Even though a superstar like Durant has never been hit by the opponent, the impact is completely incomparable to Xia Yan's goal. Xia Yan passed the ball to Sun Yue, and the Huaxia team's offense began. Coach K, who was standing on the bench of the US team, was ready to call a timeout. Xia Yan and Yao Ming, who returned to the offensive end, completed a double-tower collaboration, and Yao Ming finally dunked with one hand. In less than two minutes, China narrowed the difference to within four points. The American team, which returned to the offensive end, obviously had some concerns when facing Xia Yan, who was defending on the outside. In the end, the ball was passed to Odom. Odom succeeded in a jump shot against Yi Jianlian's defense, helping the US team slightly alleviate the embarrassing situation in these two minutes. However, the effect of Xia Yan's outside defense was immediate. Two terrifying blocks significantly frustrated the US team's outside offense. Although Harden and Durant both completed goals against Xia Yan's defense in the following time. The ball, but compared to them, they chose to force the ball more, which shows how obvious Xia Yan's defensive effect is. Bill Walton looked at the score at the end of the first half. The American team was only 1 point ahead of the Chinese team: "Xia's effect on the outside was completely unexpected. The Chinese team completely reversed the decline in the second quarter." "Yes. , Xia is so good, maybe Doug can consider moving Xia to shooting guard or small forward next season. I think Xia can still adapt. However, Xia is not particularly active on the offensive end in these few minutes, and is more of a supporter. "Hoffman added. There is one minute left in the first half, and the Chinese team is one point behind the American team at 50:51. Liu Wei, the starting point guard who returned to play, advanced to half court under the screen and handed the ball directly to Xia Yan, who was standing above the top of the arc. Now the American team no longer dares not to defend Xia Yan. But it's more about guarding against his passes. within the past few minutes. Xia Yan's high-post ball distribution is the main offensive method of the Huaxia team. Unknowingly, Xia Yan's assists have reached a game-high 6 times. Lopez is almost two body positions away from Xia Yan, and his open arms are more to prevent Xia Yan from breaking through. Chandler was entangled with Yao Ming. At this moment, Harden, Rose, and Iguodala on the outside of the US team are keeping a close eye on the defense, and their physical running makes the Chinese team's movement somewhat useless. Seeing this, Xia Yan decided to do it himself. "Bang!" The basketball landed. Xia Yan's left and right hands dribbled the ball in a clear rhythm. His forward body made Lopez unable to steal the ball. He could only wait for Xia Yan's next move. (To be continued)
