After the group and two knockout matches, Qin Yue thought the United States team would find a way to crack the zone defense.
But when he noticed James struggling at the top of the arc with the ball, Qin Yue immediately felt relieved.
On the wing, after circling to the right side of the court with Howard's screen, Kobe pulled up for a shot after one dribble.
Swish!
In this Olympic Games, Kobe's shooting accuracy had significantly improved after entering the knockout stage.
This was consistent with what Qin Yue remembered.
Historically, Kobe, who averaged only 12.6 points in the group stage of the Olympics, increased his average to 19 points in the knockout stage, and his overall shooting percentage rose from 43% to 50%.
Kobe starting strong in this final is definitely not a good thing for the Chinese Team.
Then, it was the Chinese Team's turn to attack.
