Lu Fei didn't expect that after seeing Harris, he was scolded by Harris.

"I put you on the court at the last moment because there is little hope of catching up, but your last dunk is completely unnecessary, and the referee will not add you an extra point just because you dunk well."

In the dim office, Harris frowned and said: "Basketball games are not gymnastics diving, the referee looks at the difficulty coefficient of your movements and gives points, the simplest and most effective scoring method is much more useful than your dangerous dunk, you have played in the NBA, you should understand these truths better than me, the reason why the NBA dunks so much is because the physical fitness of the players is there...... Of course you're very physical, but at that point, that dunk didn't do anything other than a two-point. ”

This is the most important thing that Lu Fei has heard Harris say since he entered the national team, and this stubborn old man used to be concise and to the point even when arranging tactics, and never had superfluous nonsense.

Harris glanced at Lu Fei, sighed and said, "How is it?" Are you recovering? I hope it won't have any other adverse effects on you......"

Everyone saw that Lu Fei was still chasing points like a stubborn donkey at the last moment of the game, but no one noticed that after the game, he was almost carried back to the locker room by Wang Zhizhi on his shoulder.

His calves were tired and cramped......

"I think the recovery is okay, maybe I'm deficient in calcium, and I've been eating average recently." Lu Fei lightly avoided this topic: "I came to you to talk about the opponent of the next game, the Italian team......"

"Italy?" Harris was stunned: "What do you want to talk about?" ”

"I was thinking that maybe we could win Italy and advance directly, you know the loss to Argentina is because we didn't do a good job of the opponent doing things to Da Yao, so that we were in a very passive situation for the whole game, playing Italy, I think as long as I and Da Yao Dazhi are present at the same time and do a good job of defense, they have no chance to win us."

Harris hesitated.

Because before this trip, the team's goal was to fight at least one of Spain and Italy except for the weakest New Zealand, but when they met Spain in the first game, they finally won Spain by relying on unexpected double-high cover tactics.

The defeat to Argentina has made the team's coaching staff realize the physical disadvantage of the players, and it has to be said that if he had to pick an opponent, Harris would rather give up this Italy and go all out to fight for the last opponent, Serbia and Montenegre.

Spain now has two wins and one loss, and the next two opponents are Serbia and Montenegro and New Zealand, and New Zealand has almost no suspense, that is, Spain will definitely qualify.

Argentina also won two and lost one, facing Italy and New Zealand in the next two games, and like Spain, Argentina is also a solid qualifier.

There are still two final spots left for the right to qualify from the group.

New Zealand is out of the game.

It depends on who will be eliminated between China, Italy and Serbia and Montenegro.

If the Chinese team goes all out, in case it loses to Italy and the players lose their physical strength, then if they lose to Serbia and Montenegro in the next game, it will really be over.

Let's say you lose the next two games.

The Chinese team won two wins and three losses, winning against Spain and New Zealand, and losing to Argentina, Italy, Serbia and Montenegro.

Italy also won two and lost three, and Serbia and Montenegro also lost two wins and three losses, but both of their teams won against the Chinese team, so the Chinese team was eliminated.

The ranking rules for the international men's basketball team are as follows.

If both teams have the same number of points, the ranking will be determined by the winner of each team.

If more than two teams have the same number of points, these teams will establish a second-level ranking, and the total number of points between these teams will be calculated according to Article 1.

That is, in the second-level ranking, the Chinese team will be eliminated if it loses to two teams at the same time.

So the next two games must be won!

Lu Fei didn't expect that even if he won one more game against Spain than the Chinese team in his memory, he still faced the same situation as he remembered.

If you knew this was the case, you still had to work hard to win Spain?

According to the previous progress, I won against New Zealand and Serbia and Montenegrein, but I was not able to advance to the quarterfinals, but now I am tired like a dog in every game, and my legs are cramping, and I still have to win against Serbia and Montenegro or Italy to enter the quarterfinals.

The quarterfinals of the Olympics look like there is a high probability of choosing four out of six, but in practice, it is really fucking difficult to enter......

Harris can only choose a game with the greatest probability of winning from the middle of the two, originally Harris's plan was to play with Italy, look at the situation in the first two quarters, if there is no hope of winning, directly let the main force come down to rest, and go all out to fight the last game of Serbia and Montenegro.

As a result, Lu Fei said that he wanted to win Italy?

"Italy is not easy to play, although they don't have NBA players in charge, but their quality is still not to be underestimated." Harris groaned and said: "Although they lost to Serbia and Montenegro and Spain, the difference between the two losses is not large, and their outside shooting ability is very strong, and the Spanish team is terrified by their shooting." ”

"What worries me the most is that your stamina ......," Harris continued.

Lu Fei had leg cramps in the last fight, and now he doesn't know how he recovered.

The Olympic Games are like this, any team will choose to strategically give up one or two games, as long as they guarantee qualification, and there are very few teams like the Chinese team who have played three games and never gave up.

In fact, Harris faintly regretted that after winning against Spain and New Zealand, he should have given up strategically when he met Argentina.

However, because Argentina, like Italy and Montenegro in Italy, only won one game at that time, the coaching staff of the Chinese team was a little too contemptuous of the opponent, and they were too confident, thinking that the strength of the Chinese team was the same as that of the opponent.

As a result, it can be fought, the same as Spain, provided that Argentina is not prepared, but Argentina has made a tactical deployment, and the Chinese team can only suffer this dumb loss.

"Lu, I have to be responsible for the Chinese team, and if I am not sure, I can only choose the best plan." Harris said.

Lu Fei nodded: "I understand what you mean, but ...... What if you are sure? ”

"It's good that you understand, you...... What did you say? Sure? Harris asked as he stopped abruptly in the middle of his sentence, and he even thought he had misheard.

Although Italy lost to Spain and Serbia and Montenegro, the strength of the European team is still there, in fact, Italy and Serbia and Montenegro are not easy to play, but because of political reasons, Serbia and Montenegro have a lot less main force than the team that won the World Championships, so Harris wants to focus on Serbia and Montenegro.

Although Serbia and Montenegro won Italy, it was only because Italy had no feel in that game, and if Italy was allowed to score even one more goal, Serbia and Montenegro would probably get out of the game in advance.

Italy is strong, that's Harris's opinion.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Fei's mouth: "Actually, this kind of team with excellent three-point ability is really good at defending......"

Many coaches today still follow the same old defensive strategy when facing teams with excellent three-point ability.

The most effective way for the anti-pitcher team is to defend closely, not to give him space to shoot, and the defender should follow him like a shadow, create trouble for him every time he shoots, and disrupt his shooting rhythm.

But this is only a defensive strategy, it has nothing to do with tactics.

If it were someone else, he might not know how to defend such a three-point team, but Lu Fei knew that in his memory, there was no team that didn't shoot three-pointers, and whether those teams could win or not depended on who had a high shooting percentage today.

"Since they like to shoot threes, we just don't let him shoot, so we let them play inside." Lu Fei said with a smile.

"You mean, bite the shooter outside the three-point line and give a shot or not?" Harris was stunned.

"Yes, maybe they can score at the beginning, but when they play, they will find that they are not comfortable, because this is not their usual style of play......" Lu Fei smiled: "But we have to protect the rebounds and be ready to counterattack at any time." ”

Harris frowned: "You are taking a risk, the style of play of the American team is not suitable for the Chinese team!" ”

The U.S. team Harris is talking about is not the current U.S. team, but the legendary Dream Team.

"No, it's different from the way Dream Team plays." Lu Fei shook his head: "In terms of personal ability, our players do not have the singles ability of the American players, and the American team blocking the opponent's outside line is an instinctive reaction, and the opponent will not let the opponent have a chance to score when he enters the inside......

"It's too risky, I don't agree." Harris refused: "This style of play is equivalent to giving the opponent an inside score." ”

"But you were going to give up, weren't you?" Lu Fei said sharply.

"......" Harris.

"Now that you're ready to give up, why don't you take the risk and give it a try?" Lu Fei continued.

Harris shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he was just arguing with Lu Fei about tactics, but he forgot that he didn't plan to win this game in the first place.

But how did Lu Fei know?

"And I'm not going to let go of the interior defense all the time." Lu Fei smiled.

"Huh? What are you going to do? Harris suddenly felt that Lu Fei was more like the coach of a team, but he could also see Lu Fei's unique character from Lu Fei's tactical arrangement.

Lu Fei is a person who likes to take the sword sideways, and he commented on Lu Fei in his heart.

To put it bluntly, he just likes to set people up, and one set after another, and even talking makes you unconsciously fall into his set, just like now, even if Harris is stupid for a long time, he understands that Lu Fei is waiting for him.

"I hope you can give me some on-the-spot command, and when I change my tactics, don't call a timeout and replace me......," Lu Fei finally said the purpose of coming this time.

He was afraid that Harris, a stubborn old man, could command his teammates, but if he just finished commanding, Harris was angry and replaced him, and it would be over.

So he said so much to Harris so that Harris would give him some authority and explain things clearly before the game.

Harris thought for a long time, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

If it can really win Italy, the Chinese men's basketball team may really be able to qualify ahead of schedule......

……

On August 21, the men's basketball group stage of the Athens Olympics continued.

Before the Chinese men's basketball team came on the court, Spain unsurprisingly defeated Serbia and Montenegro, while Argentina also easily won New Zealand.

In this way, Spain and Argentina are the first teams to win three games, and New Zealand and Montenegro have a record of one win and three defeats.

New Zealand is out of play, and their next opponent is Spain, which is basically certain to be out.

The Serbian and Montenegro players did not leave the court after the game, they set their sights on the Chinese men's basketball team on the court, and they must win the next game against the Chinese men's basketball team.

As long as it can win the Chinese men's basketball team, the Chinese team lost to Italy in this game, and the Chinese men's basketball team will be out.

The premise is to win the Chinese team in the next game!

Therefore, all the players stayed on the field to watch the Chinese team's game and understand the habits of the Chinese team in advance.

Especially Radmanovic, his gaze at Lu Fei was complicated.

After all, this is his former teammate, to be honest, his relationship with Lu Fei is not bad, and being traded is also a team-level thing, but he always feels that he went to the Clippers to exchange for another Chinese player, Wang Zhizhi, who seems to be inseparable from Lu Fei......

The Chinese team faces the penultimate opponent of the group, the Italian team!

In fact, the Chinese team won Italy in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and it was able to win Italy because the Chinese men's basketball team was really strong that year.

If it weren't for Lu Fei to prop up the guard line, the current Chinese men's basketball team would not be as good as the Chinese men's basketball team in 2000.

Although the Chinese men's basketball team did not qualify from the group at the Sydney Olympics.

At the Sydney Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team was reversed by France and lost the game, and France finally won the Olympic runner-up, but China defeated New Zealand and Italy, and lost to the third place Lithuania, but unfortunately did not qualify for the group because of the win.

If it weren't for being overturned by France, it is estimated that the Chinese men's basketball team would have achieved a historic breakthrough that year, and there may be a chance to enter the top four.

Of course, the current teammates generally don't mention this, and if they mention it, they will embarrass Guo Shiqiang......

Lu Fei thinks that he can win Italy at the Sydney Olympics, why should he give up now, you must know that the Italy team at the Sydney Olympics has just won the Champions League, and now this team is relying on their convulsive goalscorer - Basille.

The lineup of the Chinese team is Liu Wei, Lu Fei, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming. The only change in the lineup is that Zhu Fangyu replaced Li Nan, because Zhu Fangyu's defensive ability on the flanks is better.

At the beginning of the game, Italy scored six points in a row, and they also wanted to snow the shame of losing to the Chinese team in 2000.

Due to the difference in physical fitness, the Chinese men's basketball team was obviously slow when breaking through the defense.

At the most critical time, the Chinese team, which usually fights against European and American teams by rotating defense, actually gave up rotation at this time, as long as Italy can break through, it will never change defense......

All the Italian fans present applauded excitedly, and even the coaches and players of the Italian team on the field didn't realize that this was Lu Fei's trick on him, they were just thinking in their hearts,

This Chinese men's basketball team ......

Doesn't it look good?
