Chapter 280: A huge difference
In the Nagoya Municipal Basketball Stadium, the Japanese men's basketball team collapsed in the opening stage. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info2:0,4:0,4:2......26:8...... as the game progressed, the scores of the two teams became bigger and bigger.
At the end of the first two quarters, the score of the two teams was 46:12, and the Chicago Bulls had a net 34 points. Because there were no substitutions, the two teams continued to play with the starting lineup until now.
Fortunately, although the Japanese players were in a bad mood under the rout, they did not make aggressive moves, even if the Bulls players were ahead, they did not provoke the opponent too much, and the referee's whistle was very loose, so until now, there was not a single foul in the first two quarters of the game. With both teams not playing, the game went smoothly and smoothly.
In fact, the lack of foul penalties has continued since the first game between the two teams.
On the one hand, the Bulls came to Japan for a warm-up game, which is the result of years of hard work by the Japanese Basketball Association, and Long Zheng and Jordan helped a lot in it, and the Bulls agreed to come to Japan for the preseason and even agreed to the unreasonable requirements of the Japanese men's basketball team for seven days and four games.
It's clear to everyone, from the manager to the coaching staff to the players.
As players on the field, they will not deliberately foul in pursuit of victory, because this is not the attitude towards "VIPs"; As the head coach of the team, Yusaku Ozawa pays more attention to these, whenever he finds that the mentality of the players on the field is unbalanced, Yusaku Ozawa either pauses to make psychological dredging for the player, or directly replaces the players on the field who are out of balance.
On the other hand, the Bulls players have the strength to crush the players except for Long Zheng, bullying the small with the big and beating the weak with the strong, and they are also embarrassed to use small means, and they are open to the mouth, which looks like instinctive trash talk, because of the language barrier, the Japanese players can't understand it at all. The feeling of playing the piano for the cow was really unbearable, and after saying trash talk a few times and seeing that it didn't work, the bulls even suppressed the instinct of "trash talk".
The only one who threatens them and understands English and trash talk is the son of their boss. Let's ask, who will make unnecessary fouls to the boss's son, isn't this making himself uncomfortable.
For a variety of reasons, although the game was often one-sided, neither team had a single excessive foul.
On the Japanese men's basketball team's side, the lineup on the court in the first two quarters of the game is as follows:
Center: No. 11 Taiya Nishino, height 199 cm, weight 88 kg;
Power forward: No. 14 Tomimatsu, 193 cm tall, 86 kg in weight;
Small forward: No. 6 Kota Mimori, height 196 cm, weight 90 kg;
Shooting guard: No. 8 Raita Ito, 191 cm tall and 78 kg in weight;
Point guard: No. 9 Nishida Lock, 182 cm tall and 76 kg in weight.
There were five people on the court, and center Taiya Nishino had 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists in the first two quarters, and was shaved under the pressure of Bill Cartwright.
Nishino is only 199 cm tall, and he was selected for the Japanese men's basketball team by relying on mid-range shooting and under-the-basket shooting. As the future main center of the Japanese men's basketball team and the successor of Kozo Yano, Taiya Nishino, who was born in 73, has high hopes for Yusaku Ozawa.
Even if Nishino Taiya stayed on the court and made no achievements, Yusaku Ozawa did not think about replacing him, because this "abused" opportunity is very precious for Nishino Taiya, and it will be difficult to have it again if he misses it.
For a long time to come, the Japanese men's basketball team will not be able to find a strong team like the Chicago Bulls to play such a high-intensity game.
Taiya Nishino, who was on the field, also understood this, and was very grateful to head coach Yusaku Ozawa for valuing him, so he worked very hard to do his job as a center forward, even if in the eyes of the audience, he did not play any role on the field.
In the first two quarters of the game, power forward Tomimatsu stepped into the account with 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and faced Tony Kukoc and Scott Williams successively under the offensive and defensive transition of the two teams.
With 2 rebounds and 2 assists, head coach Yusaku Ozawa is already very satisfied.
The main power forward Chi Ze Hirosuke can't play, and the substitute power forward Sakuragi Hanamichi is too immature to enter the national team just to increase his knowledge and speed up his growth.
As a power forward, Ayumi Tomimatsu's tasks on the court are almost always based on hard labor, grabbing rebounds, defense, and card positions are indispensable, but when it comes to shooting and scoring, he is often the last, because he plays the power forward position that he is not good at.
With a height of 193 cm, Tomimatsu's defensive ability is limited. And the point of Fumatsu is precisely the main point of attack chosen by the Bulls players.
Short and tall, lacking rotation players, and Ayumi Tomimatsu, who is severely physically exhausted, will have to stay on the court for a while longer.
Small forward Kota Mimori, the main offensive point of the Japanese men's basketball team, scored 8 points, 1 board and 1 assist in the first two quarters of the game. It was his performance that made the Japanese men's basketball team score double-double, avoiding the embarrassment of always maintaining a "single digit" score.
Kota Mimori is 196 cm tall, Tony Kukoc, who is the main defender, is 211 cm tall, and Scott Williams, who is responsible for supplementing the defense, is 208 cm tall.
As a small forward, the task on the court is to score, score, and score. On offense, small forwards need to strike a balance between power confrontation and shooting and scoring, and when defending, small forwards are usually responsible for steals and rebounds.
In the face of the crushing of the Bulls' overall strength, under the premise of not having teammates to share the offensive pressure, Kota Mimori's performance has been quite good, even if he was completely blown out by the Bulls players on the defensive end.
Shooting guard Reta Ito, who scored 2 points in the first two quarters of the game, had no rebounds and no assists.
It's been an hour, big may not be good, it's a player like Raita Ito, three years ago, he was still competing with Kota Mimori for the starter, and now he can't even help Kota Mimori share the offensive pressure.
Ito Reita is 191 cm tall and weighs 78 kilograms, and B.J. Armstrong, who is opposite him, is 188 centimeters tall and weighs 79 kilograms.
From the perspective of playing style, both of them belong to the technical flow of players, and the difference in platforms has caused a huge difference in the strength of the two.
B.J. Armstrong, as a member of the Bulls dynasty, was one of the key pieces of the puzzle during the Chicago Bulls' three-game winning streak.
In the 1990-1991 season, Armstrong was the starting point guard for the Chicago Bulls, helping the team to 61 wins in the regular season and defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals.
In the 1991-1992 season, Armstrong was a substitute for John Paxson, but he still averaged more than 10 points per game. During the season, Armstrong helped the team to 67 wins in the regular season and defended the title.
In the 1992-1993 season, Armstrong helped the team to three consecutive championships. At this time, Armstrong became the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the NBA with his three-point shooting percentage of 63 of 139.
Although Armstrong is not well-known in Japan, he is indeed a superstar player. (To be continued.) )
