Without Liu Han, the core of Dinghai, the Chinese team is like a computer with a CPU burned, and it can't run at all, and the team not only has problems in the offense, but also has frequent loopholes in the defense.

Although Yao Min returned to the inside line, the Argentine team was originally a joint defense of shrinking defense, and this defensive method is very restrictive to the inside line, and although Yao Min can be called the first in the active interior line in terms of skills, his absolute strength is still a lot worse.

In addition, hesitating Liu Han's break, the Chinese team's breakthrough success rate in the offense has also decreased a lot, although the point guard Liu Wei who replaced Liu Han on the court is relatively stable, but he is not a point guard who is good at attacking, under the conscious restrictions of the Argentine team, Liu Wei's play is not the same.

The passing and control points of the inside and outside lines are restricted, and the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team can be imagined.

Li Rui does not have a good way to achieve such a result, the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is still very lacking, modern basketball pays more and more attention to teamwork, although the role of superstars is still huge, but this does not mean that the accumulation of superstars can win the championship, reasonable tactical play and reasonable lineup is the most important.

During the break in the first quarter, Li Rui did not criticize the players for their poor performance in the final part of the first quarter, but instead encouraged the outside players to shoot bravely in the next game.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, Li Rui gritted his teeth and asked Liu Han to continue to rest on the bench.

Li Rui's idea is that there will be a long time in the future, and he can't let Liu Han work hard without scruples, even if he loses the final in the end, but he must not let Liu Han's body be damaged, this is Li Rui's idea that is different from the previous head coach and the Basketball Association, the previous head coach always felt that a minor injury was not a good player, and the leaders of the Basketball Association only thought about their own political achievements.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Chinese team replaced many young players, although it was still Liu Wei who controlled the ball, but the Chinese team's performance in the next quarter was much better than at the end of the first quarter.

The Argentine team's bench lineup still follows their usual tactics, but the offensive and defensive speed of the Chinese team is a lot faster, although the absolute height of the inside Terry is average, but his strength has a great effect at this time, after he receives the ball on the inside, even if the Argentine team is caught inside, Terte Terre can still cause damage, in addition, the experienced Terte is not a unique player, his passing and mid-range shooting are very skillful, but the speed is a little slower.

The players of the Chinese team on the outside were encouraged by the head coach during the break in the first quarter, and their shots were really much more resolute.

Less than three minutes into the second quarter, Argentina had to replace their starters early, and the Chinese team had re-extended the difference to 9 points.

After the Argentine team returned to the game, Li Rui also changed to the starting lineup of the Chinese team very specifically, and Liu Han returned to the field after a break of nearly ten minutes.

At the same time, the lineup of the Chinese team has also been adjusted, with three major interior lines on the court at the same time, and with a stable pitcher Li Nan, the Chinese team has played unconventional tactics.

After a ten-minute break, Liu Han's physical strength recovered somewhat, compared to other players, Liu Han not only has a much stronger physical reserve, but also his physical recovery speed is much faster than ordinary people, which is the difference brought by his physical characteristics that distinguish him from others.

The three interior lines played at the same time, coupled with Liu Han's scheduling, the Chinese team played retro tactics.

In the attack, the three inside lines are in order, Liu Han and Li Nan stand in formation at a 45-degree angle, if the Argentine team wants to shrink the defense, then Liu Han and Li Nan's three points will definitely frighten them, and if the Argentine team wants to strengthen the defense on the outside, the ball will definitely not be easy to defend as long as the ball reaches the inside line, and more importantly, the rebounding of the Chinese team will occupy an absolute advantage in this lineup, after all, in this lineup, the average height of the Chinese team is much taller than the Argentine team.

In defense, the Chinese team completely let go of the outside defense, Liu Han stared at Ginobili, and the other four guarded the joint defense position, which was similar to the defensive strategy of the Argentine team at the beginning.

After returning to the court, Liu Han felt that he was playing a lot easier, compared to the last game with the United States, Liu Han did not have so much pressure in this game, he did not need to fight with the opponent's muscle-to-muscle in this game, Liu Han's job was to pass and shoot, Li Rui asked him not to break too much.

It is self-evident how much Liu Han plays a role in the Chinese team, since 2000, more than half of the achievements of the Chinese men's basketball team have to be counted on Liu Han's head, which makes the men's basketball team often fall into inertia in the game, role players do not think about how to cooperate with the team after receiving the ball, they habitually think of handing the ball to Liu Han.

But now it's different, although Li Rui has not been in charge for a long time, but his appointment has indeed made changes to the men's basketball team, and at the same time, due to the growth and change of Yao Min and a group of young players, the Chinese team's over-reliance on Liu Han has decreased a lot.

In the face of the retro lineup of the Chinese team, the Argentine team wanted to improve the team's offensive and defensive conversion speed, but because they did not have an advantage in average height, the Argentine team conceded a lot of rebounds.

In the sixth minute of the second quarter of the game, the head coach of the Argentine team called a timeout again, and the return of the starters not only did not allow the Argentine team to narrow the difference, but on the contrary, the Chinese team played a wave of 11-3 offensive tide in three minutes, and they extended their lead to 17 points, which is definitely a big difference for the Argentine team.

"Coach Li Rui adjusted very well, if the men's basketball team continues to play like this, the suspense of the game should not be big, maybe we can lock up the gold medal in the fourth quarter in advance."

In the face of such a good situation, even Jiang Xingquan, who has always been quite low-key, couldn't help but say such things.
