Chapter 197: Indisputable (I)
"Chinese Liu has no physical strength, don't think about being a gentleman on the field, we are cowboys on the Pampas, not stupid x general British hooligan gentlemen, take out your fighting spirit and courage, cut off the passing line of Chinese Liu, and then use confrontation to consume him, the Chinese team without Liu is like an eagle without wings, come on, guys, this is our best chance to win the Olympic gold medal." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The head coach of the Argentine team was enthusiastic about the team, and his words could not say much to the extent that his words could make a difference, at least in his words, his love for Argentina was evident in the fact that the older Argentines had always been very disgusted with the British due to the Falklands War of the last century.
Seventeen points behind, the Argentine players are more or less depressed, but the team's core players are still scrappy, such as Ginobili and Scola, the former thinking that winning the Olympic gold medal will make his place in the Spurs more secure, while the latter wants to perform well in order to make a lot of money in the NBA.
After the timeout, the Argentine team really played more boldly in the attack, and their players increased their breakthroughs, using sudden passes and covering blocks to break the Chinese team's shrinking defense.
Liu Han didn't put too much energy into defense at this time, he needed to conserve his stamina, the game was not over yet, he had to ensure the stamina to score.
At this time, the three interior centers of the Chinese team were all present, which made the Chinese team's interior defense extremely strong, but also made the rotation a lot slower.
Yao Min accidentally paid two fouls in the next two minutes, and the personal fouls came to three, and he had to go to rest, and Baterl and Wang Zhizhi also each had a foul, and the Argentine team's offense began to play vividly.
Although the Argentine team's offense has improved, but their defense still has a big problem, when the Chinese team's three major interior lines are on the field, Liu Han almost does not need to break through, he dribbles the ball to suppress the rhythm of the half, and then steadily hoists the ball into the inner line, and then runs to the vacant position, and has the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, and if there is no opportunity, he helps his teammates to do off-ball cover running, the job is very simple.
However, this simple offense made the Argentine team very painful, because such three interior lines are too difficult to defend, each of them has good projection and passing internal force, and the tonnage and strength are similar to the Argentine team's interior line, and the height is more dominant, and it is difficult for the average team to deal with such a lineup.
However, the Argentine team's interior team used their "performance" in defense to make the Chinese team have to adjust the lineup in advance.
The Argentine team's Scola is an extremely smart "actor", his acting skills were even deceived by Yao Min, who made the foul, Yao Min raised his elbow slightly in the attack, and Scola flew out as if he was hit by a truck, and in the face of such a wonderful "performance", the referee did not hesitate to give Yao Min a third personal foul.
By the end of the second quarter, Argentina had narrowed the deficit to 12 points, which at least gave Argentina the courage to fight desperately in the second half.
Liu Han came off at the end of the second half, and his main task today was to control the tempo of the team.
"Okay, the second quarter of the game is over, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team played 46-34 in the first half, and the Chinese team still maintains a double-digit lead, but the Argentine team is not without the ability to fight back, their performance in the second half of the second quarter is not bad, and the Chinese team needs to be wary of the opponent's counterattack in the second half."
As soon as the CCTV host finished speaking, Jiang Xingquan, who had not talked much, took over the conversation.
"Well, the men's basketball team needs to be careful about fouls in the second half, and now Da Yao has three individual fouls, and the other interior players also have two each, which is not a good signal, if the winner is not determined in the second half of the fourth quarter, then the number of fouls in the men's basketball team at the last moment will become a big problem."
Although he has left his post, Jiang Xingquan has been watching the game from a manager's perspective, and his focus is indeed on what the Chinese team needs to pay attention to in the second half.
In Athens, Li Rui had actually noticed this problem for a long time, so he hurriedly replaced Yao Min as soon as Yao Min got the third foul.
"Don't be nervous in the second half, I feel like I've recovered a little bit now, and at the beginning of the second half, everyone gave me a chance, I came to attack, I messed up the defense, and then we played much better."
Soon after Li Rui arranged the team's tactics, Liu Han took the initiative to speak, and after the first half of the game, Liu Han did feel that his physical strength had recovered a lot, after all, he really didn't play much in the first half.
"Haha, wait for your words, I originally thought that you were really not good, it seems that you are still good, don't worry, everyone will make the ball for you at the beginning of the second half."
Hearing Liu Han's words, Yao Min was also happy, he didn't play well in the first half, and at the same time he played hard, he was already very heavy, and the continuous back-to-back games made Yao Min's performance not so stable.
For Liu Han's words, everyone in the team still recognizes it, and here in Liu Han, no player dares to play with him.
After the break, the two sides returned to the court, the Chinese team is still the starting lineup, and the Argentine team has resumed the starting lineup of the previous semi-finals, Ginobili is not in the opposite position to defend Liu Han, he will be the main weapon of the Argentine team in the second half to chase points.
At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Liu Han advanced to the front court with the ball, and the Argentine team only let the point guard Fernandez defend Liu Han, Fernandez was only 1.84 meters tall, and the Argentine team felt that Liu Han did not play in the first half because his physical strength was exhausted.
However, while the players of the Argentine team were concentrating on defense on the inside, Liu Han on the outside ignored Fernandez's defense and directly pulled out a three-point shot one meter outside the three-point line.
Liu Han's shot was as chic and swift as ever, Fernandez could only look up at Liu Han and sigh, he just had time to stretch out his hand, he didn't even have time to jump, Liu Han's projection action had no warning, Fernandez didn't have time to defend or interfere at all.
The Argentine team did not improve their defensive attention because of Liu Han's shot, they still focused their defense on the inside, and in the eyes of the Argentine, Liu Han's role is actually that of an ordinary archetypical defender.
