Chapter 174: The Great War between China and the United States (11)
Halfway through the third quarter, Larry Brown called a timeout again, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the United States, which no one expected before the game, even the players of the Chinese team probably did not expect the game to play like this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The two main point guards are tempered guys, this Larry? Brown is very uncomfortable when employing people, although the United States advertises equality and freedom, but in fact, their internal unspoken rules are stricter than in some places in the world, in American basketball, sometimes popularity can determine the value of players.
Although players like Iverson and Marbury are very popular, for a team, their style is actually contrary to the trend of modern basketball.
At the end of the game, Larry Brown finally couldn't bear to replace Iverson with a younger and more team-oriented Wade, but this change failed to reverse the decline of the American team, and their outside projection still did not improve.
After the timeout, the U.S. team began to strengthen the rush for rebounds in the front court, Anthony, James and the newly substituted Boozer began to consciously impact the Chinese team's basket, they no longer care about whether the Chinese team plays counterattacks, but are bent on ensuring the efficiency of the team's offense through secondary offense.
The U.S. team not only increased the scramble in the offense, but also carried out an all-round package on Liu Han and Yao Min in the defense, as long as Liu Han held the ball, James and Wade would not hesitate to wrap the bag at the first time, and they would rather let go of the rest of the Chinese team.
In the face of the US team's somewhat desperate style of play, Li Rui was very keen to make targeted changes, Yao Min returned to the court after less than two minutes of rest, and at the same time, Terte was also replaced, so that all three of the Chinese team's three inside lines were on the court.
Such a lineup looks like an unconventional lineup, after all, if the three interior lines are on the court, the Chinese team's defensive change speed will be much slower, but in fact, this is exactly the trap that Li Rui set for the American team.
The three major inside lines in defense sit under the basket, which can not only effectively limit the impact of the American team under the basket, but also have a good guarantee for rebounding, the Chinese team does not have an advantage in speed, so there is no need to use their own disadvantages to confront the other party, anyway, the American team's outside projection is inaccurate, strangling the basket, and completely letting the American team shoot is also a way of playing, Li Rui is betting that the American team is not suitable for the FIBA three-point line at all.
In the offense, Liu Han will be caught with the ball, and after simply advancing to the front court, he will hand the ball to Wang Zhizhi or Baterle to deal with, Wang Zhizhi and Baterle have rich experience in the game, there is no problem with high-level passing, and at the same time, the range of both of them can reach the three-point line, although it is possible that the shooting rate is not guaranteed, but even sitting and pushing in also occupy the advantage of height.
Liu Han, who is without the ball, can completely get rid of the bag through the cover of his teammates or his own running, and it is impossible for the US team to pack Liu Han without the ball, which is obviously to send points.
Such a lineup immediately made the American team stunned, and three players over 2.10 meters appeared on the field at the same time, which made the American team a little overwhelmed both offensively and defensively.
Li Rui fully demonstrated his flexibility in tactics through this adjustment, and also showed his basketball philosophy, which is quite a bit of a water impermanence and cloud abnormality.
Liu Han, who runs without the ball, allows James to really see what it means to run without the ball, Liu Han's every run is to wipe the body of his teammates, which makes James very depressed when defending, because he wants to catch up with Liu Han and has to face a physical collision at any time.
The Chinese team's main practice in the training camp before the Olympics is a variety of cover tactics, and there is a gap in the individual strength of the players, so the team's cooperation is particularly important.
Larry? Brown looked at the Chinese coach who looked like a movie star more than a coach on the sidelines of the next half of the court and was a little confused, he didn't dare to imagine that this Chinese coach would be so bold, in the face of the speed of the American team, he actually dared to send such a lineup, and from the perspective of the situation on the field, the effect was quite good, he was a little distressed now, in the face of such a strange opponent, he couldn't think of any effective way to deal with it.
After Liu Han returned to the NBA, the NBA's basketball development began to change, from the previous style of dominance on the inside to the king of the outside, the league also supported the change of focus to the outside, among the teams, the three-point shot was raised to a high status, after all, the performance of the Mavericks in the season just ended is obvious to all, they almost swept all the way to win the final championship.
Such a change even makes the stubborn Larry? Brown felt that his previous basketball philosophy was really correct, but now the performance of the Chinese team on the court has made Larry? Brown was confused again.
The U.S. team is not accurate in three points, and the lack of outside projection puts them at a constant disadvantage, but the Chinese team uses the advantage of the inside to suppress the U.S. team. Many people, including Brown, couldn't understand it.
As the game progressed, the performance of the players of the American team became more and more impatient, and the Chinese team was almost undefended on the outside, but the American team just couldn't throw it, as if today's basket had added a lid to them, and on the other hand, the Chinese team, although they were very slow, but they played like a whole, Liu Han's interspersed running position attracted the attention of the American team's defense, and the advantages of the Chinese team's interior line were fully displayed, even if Yao Min did not have an advantage over Duncan on the inside, But Wang Zhizhi and Batel played at their due level.
Wang Zhizhi's absolute speed may be very slow, but his skills are very delicate, the young man who chased the wind back then may be old, but what remains unchanged is the smart style, after letting go of the heavy psychological baggage, Wang Zhizhi played his own style.
Although Octel has always been dissatisfied with Yao Min and Liu Han's upper position, but in the face of the American team, Terte put away his temper, he is top in absolute strength, after all, he is a character who can wrestle with O'Neal, and as he grows older, his high-post projection and three-point shooting have also reached a certain level, in the face of Boozer, who is a head shorter in height and lighter than himself, Terte plays very calmly.
The U.S. team is very difficult to defend when defending, and if Liu Han is trapped, the rest of the Chinese team has a very good scoring ability, and if Liu Han is not trapped, James also has an absolute advantage.
At the end of the third quarter, the Chinese team extended the difference to nine points.
