Chapter 680: [State Terror]
Spanish coach Luiz arranged to guard against Yao Ming before the game, thinking that China would focus on attacking inside as it did back then. Gasol Jr.'s physique can put Yao Ming outside the three-second zone, and he thinks Spain can defend it. As a result, Zhou Xuan's personal onslaught was the beginning, and the others didn't even take the ball, but were just responsible for attracting the defense.
Spain's position attacked, Calderon hung to Pau Gasol, who singled out Yi Jianlian, turned around and shot and caused a foul, and after hitting both free throws, Spain finally opened. 9 to 2.
"Pay attention to the number of fouls." Zhou Xuan said to Yi Jianlian when he received the ball.
"Understood."
In the next round, Spain's defense was a little outer, Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Sun Yue on the side, and ran without the ball. Sun Yue hung to Yao Ming in the low position on the right. Yao Ming singled Gasol Jr., turned around and couldn't shoot, and the rebound was picked up by Gasol Jr.
Both sides began to strike iron. China's opening defense did a good job, under the leadership of Yao Ming, it rotated on the strong side, and Spain failed to attack, so it could only rely on covering and shooting. Whenever the breakthrough is successful, the Chinese players will hold it. Although they paid the price for the foul, Spain did not score a goal in 4 minutes and only scored 6 points from free throws.
Yu Jia commented: "The Chinese team's defense is bold, vicious, decisive and bloody, and it is not as good as the 2008 Olympic Games against Spain." ”
Zhang Li said: "But Yao Ming's hand is not good, and he can't score three shots." If you want to win, you still have to look at Zhou Xuan. In the opening game, he scored 9 points in a row and began to pass the ball, trying to help his teammates open it, but it didn't work well. ”
Gasol Jr.'s defense was strong and limited Yao Ming, and Zhou Xuan decided to change his style of play. He held the ball and Yi Jianlian blocked and broke through to the left, attracting the defense of Pau Gasol. Yi Jianlian cut to the left low position, Zhou Xuan shook a little space, and the ball was sent in.
Yi Jianlian misplaced Gasol Jr., took the ball and turned to the bottom line in one step, gave full play to his speed advantage, and scored with both hands after passing Gasol Jr. 11 to 6, Zhou Xuan sent an assist.
Spain made several passes on the periphery without obvious chances, and hung to Pau Gasol again, and this time the main defender became Yao Ming. Gasol Jr. pulled to a high position, and Yi Jianlian followed. The gap in power on the periphery will be weakened.
Yao Ming and Da Gasol are old rivals, and in the past, Da Gasol could rely on agility and breakthroughs to fight Yao Ming and gain the upper hand. This year, Gasol is becoming more and more like a center rather than a power forward in the Lakers' position, and it has become difficult to play Yao Ming. He leaned on twice and couldn't get inside. Yi Jianlian went around the front defense and Gasol Jr. couldn't pass the ball when he received it. Pau Gasol gave the periphery Calderón, who took a step to Fernández.
Sun Yue defended with all his might. Some people think that Sun Yue's defense is unbearable, on the grounds that he was scored 21 points by Fernandez at the World Championships and was completely blown up by Kreza, but there is indeed no player in the domestic forward line who is better defensively than Sun Yue. He followed very closely and didn't let his opponent turn around. In order to get rid of it, Fernandez and Gasol Jr. blocked and dismantled, dodging Sun Yue and facing Yi Jianlian, he passed the ball to the middle. Sun Yue's 206CM height played a role, and under the interference, Gasol Jr. did not have a good chance to make a shot, and passed the ball again. Seeing that the offensive time was approaching, Calderon made a hasty shot from outside the three-point line, and Yao Ming won the rebound.
The Chinese team counterattacked, Zhou Xuan took the ball in the backcourt and threw it to the front court, and passed it to the veteran Wang Shipeng. The latter faced Lirumeria and suddenly pulled out from outside the three-point line on the left side, and the ball hollowed into the net, 14-6. Zhou Xuan's second assist.
Spain attacked, still passing the ball back and forth to find opportunities, and the time was almost up, and Fernandez couldn't make a jumper. Yao Ming took the backcourt rebound again and passed it to Zhou Xuan, who brought it to the front court to attract Calderon to pass to Wang Shipeng on the right side.
Wang Shipeng singled Lirumeria, leaned back, turned around and scored again. 16 to 6.
The Chinese team led by 10 points. Netizens who watched the live broadcast on the Internet left a message: "He is simply an Asian Navarro...... No, in just these two minutes, Navarro should simply be called the European Wang Shipeng. ”
The Spanish attack still didn't work, and Gasol Jr. was completely prevented from death. Big Gasol can't beat Yao Ming alone. Calderon had already cast a shadow on Zhou Xuan, and when he saw Zhou Xuan, he sleepwalked. Two rounds later, Luis asked for a timeout.
Spain opted to replace Gasol Jr. and Lirumeria for Sergio Ibaka and small forward San Emitrio. This is to strengthen the defense, especially against the fast break and the guard's pick-and-roll breakaway.
After fighting for a while, Louis found that it still didn't work. The Chinese team used the simplest way to deal with it, all pulled away, and Zhou Xuan singled.
Zhou Xuan once again relied on a feint to pass Calderon and scored a 60-degree jumper on the right side. Fernandez switched defenses, and Zhou Xuan relied on a double block to get rid of it, attracting the defense of Pau Gasol and hoisting the ball to the inside. Yao Ming singled Ibaka and scored with a hook in the middle.
Towards the end of the game, Zhou Xuan relied on his running position to get a misplaced opportunity and passed the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming attracted the bag of Pau Gasol and Ibaka and split the ball again. Sun Yue couldn't score an empty jumper after receiving the ball. Yi Jianlian grabbed a rebound in the front court and gave it to Zhou Xuan in the bottom corner. Zhou Xuan scored a jumper in the bottom corner on the right side.
In the single quarter, Zhou Xuan scored 14 points and 3 assists. China led by 11 points at 29-18. There are only 10 minutes in the Olympic quarter, which is a high score.
Zhou Xuan was rested, and in the second quarter, China let Liu Wei and Chen Jianghua form a double guard. The small forwards are Zhu Fangyu, and the inside line Wang Zhizhi and Ding Jinhui.
Spain also rested their main players and brought on Remisa and Navarro, with Ibaka on the inside as a substitute.
The Chinese team's offense has weakened suddenly, Wang Zhizhi's shooting ability is good, and he can also cooperate with Chen Jianghua to block and dismantle, and the two have become the main attack point. Chen Jianghua's speed is a good weapon, and he breaks through the mid-range shot after blocking and scoring. If he had a higher ball quotient, he might be able to play in the NBA. Soon Wang Zhizhi showed his pace in the low post, flexibly shook off the Spanish substitute center Cabañas, and scored a layup.
It was Serge Ibaka and Navarro who stepped up to score in Spain. After the pick-and-roll, Ibaka scored on two mid-range shots, and Navarro also made quick shots to hit a three-pointer.
Then Cabañas grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and the second offense caused Wang Zhizhi to foul and hit both free throws. Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian will make the rebounding of the Chinese team much worse.
Zhu Fangyu also did not play the role of a veteran, the three-point shot was missed, Ibaka won the rebound, Spain broke fast, and Remisa broke through to score a layup.
The score was caught up immediately, and Deng Huade sent Yao Ming again.
Yao Ming rested for a while in the first quarter, and when Zhou Xuan was not there, he could ensure that the team had a strong offensive point. Spain also immediately replaced Gasol Jr.
Gasol Jr. was very successful in defending against Yao Ming, who missed the frame twice and felt bad today. It's been a long time since he's played for the national team, but fortunately, his defensive skills are still there, and with him under the basket, Gasol Jr. is not easy to play.
China's biggest defensive problem is the perimeter, not enough pressure on the no-team players, Navarro relied on the cover to catch the ball in the fifth minute, and hit another three-pointer at 60 degrees. Fernandes then hit a three-pointer to tie the score. This one played a wave of 13 to 2.
Deng Huade asked for a timeout.
Yu Jia sighed: "If you just rely on Zhou Xuan's personal ability, it will still be difficult for the team to go far." Yao Ming has only scored 4 points so far, and Spain has been very successful in defending him. ”
Zhang Li said: "Zhou Xuan, the Chinese team will become a tendon, regardless of offense or defense." ”
In the second quarter, the Chinese team played too simply, and the offense was for Yao Ming. Defending Ding Jinhui came up to prevent blocking and dismantling only blocking the middle, and the bottom line was filled by the weak side.
The Spanish players didn't understand it in the first quarter and missed it in a row, but now they understand it, it turns out that the Chinese team doesn't keep the bottom line! So as soon as the second quarter came up, several substitutes successfully broke through and scored points. Yao Ming went out to interfere with the shooting, and the inside rebounding was not well protected.
Deng Huade's timeout was quite timely, and now the Chinese team's defense has become a strong side pile-up, Spain transferred the weak side to find three points, and the Chinese team's defense leaked too many empty spaces to the pitcher.
Zhou Xuan also felt helpless in the audience, there was no reason to empty these two people, right? Could it be that because Fernandez shaved his curly hair, Zhu Fangyu couldn't recognize it? Or maybe Navarro's hair and beard are too long, and from a distance you think it's Rubio's comeback, don't care?
Deng Huade called everyone together and arranged tactics for Zhou Xuan, and the double block helped him create opportunities for misplaced singles. Since the low post is difficult to open, it is better to rely on shooting to solve the problem. Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian played again, except for Liu Wei, who was the starting lineup at the beginning.
Liu Wei is 190CM tall and weighs 90 kg, stronger than Zhou Xuan, can shoot basketballs, and can play double guards. He stayed on the court, in addition to experience, it could also reduce the pressure on Zhou Xuan's ball control.
Liu Wei controlled the ball over half the court, Zhou Xuan went directly to the bottom corner, and then ran to the left side with Yao Ming without the ball on the right side. Liu Wei and Yi Jianlian got rid of the high block and walked to the left side and sent the ball over.
There was a gap on the field with a simple cooperation, and Gasol Jr. was not slow and did not change the defense in time. Zhou Xuan took the ball frame, and the bottom corner of the left side was his most inaccurate position, but today he was in a brave state, and he aimed at the basketball. The 17th point of his own life, he scored on the field, and he was in a terrible state. 34 to 31.
Spain attacked, Gasol Jr. went to the middle to block and dismantle, and Remisa attracted the defense to pass to the middle. Fernandes breaks through without the ball on the baseline. Both sides have shortcomings on the bottom line, and Yao Ming is also very slow.
This time, Yao Ming followed out as much as he could. Gasol Jr. passes the ball to Gasol Jr., who singles back to Yi Jianlian, who is on the inside. Compared with his personal ability, Pau Gasol stabilized Yi Jianlian, resisted and turned to the middle to hook the ball in. 34 to 33.
Liu Wei dribbled the ball across the half, and Zhou Xuan relied on Yi Jianlian's off-ball cover to get rid of Remisa to catch the ball. He flicked his shoulder on the right and found that Remisa had withdrawn inside to chase the defense, but Gasol didn't defend very far away.
He dribbled under his crotch and retreated with his left hand to bring out the three-point line, facing Yi Jianlian's dry pull-up jumper in the middle. The 192CM tall Barcelona guard Remisa hurriedly pounced to defend, but unfortunately it was slow, and Yi Jianlian blocked it, he could only watch Zhou Xuan throw the ball, this dry pull arc was very flat, and the back edge of the basket bounced in. 37 to 33.
Zhou Xuan's personal 20th point, the Spanish coach was a little helpless.
