Episode 133 Facing Argentina
Originally, China's victory over France and Germany to reach the quarterfinals was just a small surprise, but it was still within the acceptable range, but this victory over Spain was completely different! Spain is the world's first-class basketball power, but China won! This news has to be shocking! China's national youth has also become the biggest dark horse in this World Youth Championship! And the highlight of this game is the basketball emperor Fangda, He scored 40 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, and once again became the first contributor to the victory.
Many people opened their mouths wide when they saw Fonda's stats, 40 points! No one has ever scored this point in this World Youth Championship, right? And this is still in front of the top team Spain! This is completely different from the previous France and Japan! Spain's defense is notoriously airtight! 40 points is definitely an all-star level even in the NBA! How strong is this side!!
After the game, Lautaro, the coach of the Spanish national youth, also said in front of reporters: "We played very well in this game, we didn't play abnormally, the opponent was too strong, especially the No. 6, it can be said that our failure was caused by him, I am very envious that the Chinese national youth can get such a talented player!"
Many people have also analyzed the reasons for Spain's failure, and then found that Spain, which was originally very good at playing fast attack, almost never played a few fast attacks in China's game, and then some people found the most critical reason, that is, the Chinese national youth made very few mistakes, and Spain had almost no chance to play fast attack, and the person who contributed to this reason was also Fangda!
After this game, Fangda's popularity as the basketball emperor is getting higher and higher, and some people originally questioned it, thinking that although Fangda has good strength, he is indeed much stronger in China's national youth, but it will end in the quarterfinals, but Fangda's performance has once again made many people fall through their glasses, and he can score 40 points in a game like the World Youth Championships, what is this concept? And Fangda is only 15 years old! No one dares to say that Fonda is no longer good, and even many people have analyzed Fonda's strength, and Fonda now has the strength to enter the NBA to play!
The news that China's national youth defeated Spain to reach the semifinals and became the biggest dark horse in the World Youth Championships shocked the whole world, and many countries were very surprised, this is the first time that China has reached the semifinals in an international competition, although it is only the World Youth Championships, but this also represents the future of Chinese basketball, that is to say, in the future, Chinese basketball will set off a new storm in the world!
……
A large number of reporters came to the door early the next morning, which was also expected, which was completely different from the concept of winning against France and Germany before, which was a real herald of China's rise, but fortunately Jiang Xingquan and the assistant coach and others stopped the reporters and did not let them come to interview us, his reason was that the players needed to concentrate on recuperating and then prepare for the next game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In the end, the reporter could only compromise and asked Jiang Xingquan some questions, but then he left stupidly.
Then all of us gathered in Jiang Xingquan's room, Jiang Xingquan held the battle table, and we all knew that our opponent for the next game came out, and this opponent will also be the strongest of all the opponents we have encountered, that is, Argentina!
Yesterday we finished the game followed by the United States and Australia, and we also witnessed the style of the United States again, Australia is indeed a basketball power, but the whole court was pressed by the United States, and finally the United States won the game 104-79, and the United States continued to maintain a strong score of more than 100 points per game.
We are in the same group as the United States, so if we keep playing, we will meet in the last game, and yesterday the Basketball Association also announced the method of the World Youth Championship semi-finals, this World Youth Championship will be the same as the last World Youth Championships using a round-robin method, that is, the semi-finals we have to play three games, to play one with the other three countries, of course, it has been determined that we are in the last game to play with the United States, and the teams that reached the semi-finals are us, Italy, Argentina and the United States, in the end, are ranked by their records.
And today, Yu Jianhui is also back after physiotherapy, and it is said that he is recovering well, his recovery has exceeded expectations, and he can now play in the match against Argentina, of course, not too strenuous exercise. April 14 is our match with Argentina, and April 16 is the game against Italy, and Yu Jianhui can almost play his best in this match with Italy, and then April 19 is the match against the United States, which is also our last game of this World Youth Championship.
Coming to the training ground, Jiang Xingquan first began to analyze the characteristics of Argentina's players and the characteristics of the team.
First of all, Argentina's point guard Bartlet, a speed-type point guard, 1.91 meters tall, is good at playing fast break, and is also the organizer who drives Argentina to play fast attack, is a very difficult character to deal with.
Substitute point guard, Careb, who is only 1.85 meters tall, is said to be a very good football player and was almost called up to Argentina's national youth football team. He has a very good stamina and he is very fast, which is also a characteristic of a footballer.
Scoring guard, Garcia, team leader, 2.01 meters tall, a very versatile figure, but also the most terrible figure in the entire Argentine national youth team, his personal ability is undoubted! Not only him, Argentina's scoring guards are more versatile, are more inclined to swing people, many people know that there is a super guard Ginobili from Argentina in the NBA, so Argentina is also the proudest in scoring guard.
Backup point guard, Morka, who is 2.03 meters tall, is as versatile as Garcia, and is also a very good figure at playing fast breaks, and his chasing three-point is also very good.
Small forward, Gilino, the team's No. 2 person, left-handed, 2.03 meters tall, is also very good at playing fast breaks, and his shooting speed is very fast, which is also a point that Dong Tianhao should pay special attention to.
Substitute small forward and scoring guard, Naredo, the type is more biased towards shooting, his shooting is very accurate, his shooting speed is also very fast, the type is more like a shooter, and he will play shooting guard from time to time, but the most important thing is to play the position of substitute small forward.
Big forward Bentula, who is 2.08 meters tall, is very similar to Mo Jing, a big forward with both offense and defense, and has the same good passing ability as Spain's interior players.
Substitute power forward Robredo, who is 2.11 meters tall, is slimmer than Bentula, but has a long hand, can shoot and play inside, and has a lot of offensive means, and is a more authentic power forward.
Center forward Jonatang, who is 2.11 meters tall, has flexible footsteps under the basket, his speed is not slow, he can cooperate with the players to play fast attack, and more importantly, his ability to play at the bottom of the basket is also very headache, it can be said that Dong Guoqiang has encountered a strong opponent again.
And the biggest feature of the entire Argentine national youth team is the same as their national team, that is, the fast attack is very strong!
The bombardment tactics of the Argentine national youth are well-known at the World Youth Championships! Although they do not score more than 100 points per game like the United States, they still score an average of 103 points per game! This is a very frightening number!
This training Jiang Xingquan also joined the three-two mixed defense seen from the Spanish game, although it is a fool's dream to say that it takes a day to run this set of tactics out, but Jiang Xingquan feels that the drill may be able to be emergency, and at the same time, we have not fallen behind the previous practice of the two or three regional joint defense and offensive triangle tactics, but the same, in the offense, Jiang Xingquan also added a set of tactics based on me, that is, to break through the offensive tactics with the ball, that is, to break through the offensive tactics, that is, to break through the point of cooperation, at the critical moment what the team needs is my step up, when I break through, teammates can run out of the corresponding position to respond, but this tactic is also quite difficult, requiring other teammates to improvise on the field.
Jiang Xingquan also hopes that we can practice artillery tactics, but the Chinese tradition does not seem to be suitable for this tactic, so it is difficult for us to take advantage of the attack, Argentina is very good at shelling tactics, their fast attack is very terrible, at this time Jiang Xingquan is also worried about Argentina's point.
And Yu Jianhui was not idle at this time, he was also doing recovery training, and his state did not decline much, which also made Jiang Xingquan very pleased.
……
At nine o'clock in the morning of April 14th, we ushered in China's first semi-finals in the basketball world competition!
This time the game is still a lot of discussion on the Internet, like Spain last time, many people think that the Chinese national youth with basketball emperor Fangda can win the game, but there are still more people who think that China still can't win Argentina, even if it beats Spain, even if China's CBA star Yu Jianhui comes back, but the result will not change much, after all, Argentina is stronger than Spain, so many fans just care about how far China can play with Argentina.
At this time, the matches of China vs Argentina and the United States vs Italy were played at different venues at the same time, and the playing venues on both sides were full of spectators.
The venue for the China vs Argentina match.
A group of people in red and yellow jerseys and a group of people in azure jerseys each stood at opposite ends of the basketball court to start warming up.
The crowd was full 30 minutes before the start of the game.
"Teacher Fang, I'm so nervous!" Wu Lin said.
"You guys are saying this again, it's not you who are competing, what are you nervous about?" Fang Lifeng still leaned leisurely on the audience with his hands plugged in.
"But we are all Chinese, we all hope that the Chinese national youth can win every game, this time the opponent is even more powerful than Spain in the last game, it really makes me so nervous!" Zhou Kang said.
"Don't be nervous, the Chinese national youth has created a legend, at least in the past, China has never entered the semi-finals in the Olympic Games, the World Championships or the World Youth Championships. Fang Lifeng said with a smile.
"But I always feel that since I have hit here, I should take this legend one step further!" Zhang Tianxiao said.
"It's right that you have that hope, but you have to be prepared, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Fang Lifeng said.
"Ah, Teacher Fang, do you mean that even you have no confidence in your son this time?" Wu Lin asked anxiously when he heard Fang Lifeng's words.
"Who's to say I don't have confidence? I'm just letting you know in advance, because it's a bit hard to say whether this game will be won or lost. Fang Lifeng said, "After all, Argentina is stronger than Spain, and it is indeed too difficult for the current overall strength of the Chinese national youth to win." ”
Wu Lin and the others were a little depressed when they heard Fang Lifeng's words, as if the Chinese national youth were really going to lose.
"Don't be discouraged, China's national youth may not have won hope, I still have confidence in my son. Fang Lifeng said again.
After speaking, Fang Lifeng looked at Fang Da, who was warming up on the field, and muttered to himself: "Playing Argentina, the beginning is very important, I believe you also know this!"
The circle station also officially broadcast the game between China and Argentina in the country, and now this game has received the attention of the whole China, which is also the treatment that the Chinese national youth has never had. Because this time the Chinese national youth even defeated the Spanish national youth, creating the best result in the history of the Chinese national youth and China's best results in the international arena, reaching the semifinals, and judging from the last game, the Chinese national youth may still have a little possibility to defeat Argentina in this game, although the chance of winning is very small, but this is enough, just by virtue of the previous victory over the Spanish national youth is enough to make the Chinese basketball world proud!
At this time, I only watched two TV commentators in the live broadcast room in front of the TV, a handsome man with short hair was named Liu Yun, and a man with long hair who looked a little old was called Ma Huafeng, both of whom were a little excited now.
"Liu Yun, what do you think of this game?" asked Ma Huafeng. (Yuan Fang, what do you think?)
"The biggest attraction of this game is the basketball emperor of the national youth team, I believe that people who have watched the previous games of the national youth team know that the basketball emperor's playing action is very beautiful, not inferior to those stars in the NBA, and his strength is not at all said, in my opinion, the key to whether China can win Argentina in this game is on him!" Liu Yun said, his words were a little crazy, and he actually said directly that he could take Argentina, although he added whether he could do it, but this is really crazy, at least defeating Argentina This is something that China didn't dare to think about before.
"I think so too, and this basketball emperor is only 15 years old, it is said that he was questioned and denied by many people when he first entered the national youth team, but he proved himself by relying on these games, and the last game was to rely on his last few key balls to make the Spanish national youth drink and lose! Although everyone is still not optimistic that the Chinese national youth can win the game, but I think it, everything is possible!" Ma Huafeng said.
"Of course, but former national team coach Jiang Xingquan also contributed a lot!" Liu Yun said.
"Of course, just by including the 15-year-old Fangda, a genius, in the U20 list proves that Jiang Xingquan's vision is very unique, and he has the flavor of Bole!" Ma Huafeng said, it seemed to be very sycophant, but I don't know how Jiang Xingquan would feel when he heard this sentence in the future.
On the field.
This time, the starting lineup has really changed a little bit compared to the past, which is all within our expectations, because Mo Jing replaced Lu Ming as the starter, so our starting five are: Dong Guoqiang, Mo Jing, Dong Tianhao, me, Lin Hai. It's a pity that Yu Jianhui has just recovered, and he can't play too hard, Jiang Xingquan didn't treat him as a starter, but even so Yu Jianhui's return has also added new combat effectiveness to us, this time Yu Jianhui's task is to take the substitute when the main force is resting, don't let Argentina's substitute open the score, the gap between the substitutes is what we are most worried about, but if Yu Jianhui comes back, the gap between the substitutes can be narrowed a lot.
Of course, Yu Jianhui will be the starter in the next game, and Jiang Xingquan's arrangement in this game is more just to let Yu Jianhui recover the game as much as possible.
At this time, I was thinking, how can we beat Argentina, how can we get the best start? If we can make a good start, then we will naturally be one step closer to victory! In the face of a team like Argentina, if we can make a good start first, the game will definitely be much easier!
At the end of the game, Jiang Xingquan gathered us together for a short meeting.
"Although the outside world is not optimistic that we will win this game, I want to say ...... This is the game that really proves our strength!" Jiang Xingquan paused and said, "Why do you say that? Because now the outside world is saying that we are the biggest dark horse in this World Youth Championship! And now, what we want to prove is that we are a strong team!" And this game is the best opportunity for us to transform from a dark horse into a strong team!"
As soon as we heard this, all of us raised our heads, and our eyes bloomed with a scorching light.
"Come on, the warriors of the Chinese national youth! We are going to create a legend that has never appeared in the history of Chinese basketball!" Jiang Xingquan said in his own loud voice, Jiang Xingquan's words are full of confidence!
With that, we all stretched out a hand in the middle and put it together, and then shouted in unison.
"One, two, three...... Victory!!"
Then Jiang Xingquan walked on the field and shook hands with Argentine coach Marcelo, and then casually spoke a few words in English, and then prepared to welcome the start of the game.
Argentina's starting lineup is as predicted by Jiang Xingquan before, with center Jonatang, power forward Bentura, small forward Aguino, scoring guard Garcia, and point guard Bartlet.
As the referee blew the whistle, the ball was thrown into the air by the referee, and the game officially began, and then two big guys were seen jumping up at the same time.
"Smack!"
Dong Guoqiang took the lead in dialing the ball, the ball flew to my hand, and as soon as I received the ball, I handed the ball to Lin Hai Organization.
The ball tossed and turned a few times in the outside triangle and then returned to Lin Hai's hand, at this time Mo Jing reached out to ask for the ball, Lin Hai smiled, hoisted the ball in and gave it to Mo Jing, Mo Jing immediately hit Bentula as soon as he caught the ball, and then did not wait for Bentula to slow down Mo Jing immediately turned around and hooked his hand.
"Bump!"
The ball is very beautiful to play into the basket, Mo Jing shows the characteristics of an excellent big forward, and there are many scoring means, which is Mo Jing's biggest feature! The score is 2-0, and we take the lead in winning the first point of the game!
"Good shot! China is the first to score!" TV commentator Liu Yun exclaimed excitedly, it is a good omen to be the first to win the first goal in front of such a powerful Argentina!
Bartley controlled the ball over half court, and at this time we did not use joint defense but man marking, because Jiang Xingquan analyzed that our joint defense did not have much effect in front of Argentina.
Garcia came up to cover, and Garcia, as the leader, did not intend to strike at the beginning.
Bartley got rid of Lin Hai by covering it, and then the defender became me, and I was staring at Bartley tightly, if I want to make a good start, then I have to defend with all my strength from now on!
"Smack!"
The ball in Bartley's hand was suddenly pulled out, and it was me who broke the ball! Bartley was stunned for a moment, and then he saw me take the ball and rush to the front court quickly, and then I saw my whole body jump up in front of the basket opposite, my body gliding in the air, and my right hand holding the ball was greatly opened, and I was like a roc spreading its wings in the air at this time!
"Boom!"
The basket was shaking violently, and I fell off the basket and raised my right hand into a fist high, signaling that we were going to win!
The audience immediately applauded me for this dunk.
"Pretty !!," the two TV commentators in front of the TV shouted excitedly.
The score was 4-0 and we got off to a very good start!
Such a start also made Argentina unexpected, they didn't expect that they were beaten 4-0 at the beginning, this is still a trivial matter, two goals can be chased back, the key is that the ball was broken and played a fast break and let people deduct such an imposing basket, which greatly boosted the momentum of China's national youth, and the same, Argentina's momentum has also been hit hard!
At this time, Dong Guoqiang and Mo Jing were screaming excitedly because of my dunk, and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw their stupid appearance.
At this time, Bartley frowned, he never expected that the No. 6 hand of the Chinese team would be so fast, and he would play so crazy at the beginning!
