After a week of semi-closed training, the national team's new style of play is gradually taking shape.

To be honest, the tactical play of the Chinese national team is not very complicated, and it is complicated and cannot be played.

Now that Li Liang is here, Gong Gui has made it simpler, which is a good thing for the players.

The Chinese national team's problems are more in their playing habits and basketball awareness, and tactics are not much of a problem in many cases.

When Younas was in charge of the Chinese men's basketball team, most of his energy was not spent on formulating tactics, but on correcting the bad playing habits of Chinese players.

Eight years have passed since '08, and those players have corrected themselves, but the playing habits of the young players are still the same.

Because there is only one Younas in the national team, he can only manage his group of people.

The training of young players from an early age and the training of teams at all levels are still not much different from the past.

Li Liang played a lot with these players and also found this problem.

After the half-time he scolded earlier, the problem of stopping the ball and passing the ball could not be solved in a short period of time.

That's how I've been playing since I was a child, and when I encounter a high-intensity defense, I protect the ball first, and then talk about whether the offense is smooth or not.

There is also an inside line to grab rebounds, grab the rebound ball and subconsciously close it, not knowing that he is holding his hand to attack the basket directly.

Outside players have a very poor sense of position when defending, and they can't top people, card people, and rebound awareness.

The backward consciousness of "big men grab rebounds" still exists in the national team, and if you look at the lack of prestige, they have all grabbed themselves as centers.

In modern basketball, the position is blurred, and the concept of small shooting three-pointers and big ones grabbing rebounds is not afraid that it will be beaten into slag by the multi-functional light cavalry in Europe and the United States.

During the week's training, Li Liang constantly brainwashed his teammates and instilled advanced basketball concepts.

There are some things, the coach said that the left ear may go in and out of the right ear, and it will be different if it is emphasized by an idol like Li Liang.

After all, Li Liang is much more powerful than the palace guide.

……

On July 5th, the 2016 Stankovic Cup will begin.

The tournament has been held since 2005 and is now in its 11th year.

It is the only continental basketball tournament designated to be held in Chinese mainland in the basketball world, and once a year, teams from basketball powers from all continents participate in the competition.

In previous editions, there were 6 teams in each edition, but in later editions there were only 4 teams.

The overall level, of course, is declining.

At the beginning, each country will send the main team to participate in the competition, and then use some second and third teams to deal with it.

Overall, the format is more symbolic than practical, and winning a championship is not a great honor.

It's a bit similar to the "Toyota Cup" and "Club World Cup" in football, which seems to gather the world's best players to compete, but it's actually a chicken rib award.

It's good to win, it's not a shame to lose, and the really important honor is in hand anyway.

That's pretty much the way the Stankovic Cup is treated.

Because this year is an Olympic year, the main role is to warm up for the national team.

The other three teams are France, Argentina and Nigeria.

On the first match day, the Chinese team's first opponent was Nigeria from Africa.

At 7:30 p.m., the game will start at the Olympic Center Gymnasium.

Tickets for this game were pre-sold early, and there were not many people buying and watching them.

But since Li Liang announced that he would join the national team, ticket prices for this game have soared.

Scalpers naturally have a place to play, and the ticket price in the front row of this game has been hyped to a very high level.

No way, this is Li Liang's charm.

Basketball first-person value of this treatment.

At the point of the competition, the entire Olympic Sports Center was full.

The organizers didn't expect so many people to come to this competition tonight.

The preparation was somewhat insufficient, and the scene was chaotic.

However, when Li Liang entered the stadium on behalf of the Chinese team, there was only shouting of his name on the scene.

Do you know what a spectacular scene it is for tens of thousands of spectators to chant "Gan Li Liang"?

This is even more spectacular than the national scolding of Beijing.

Because national scolding is wrong after all, but it's always okay to call the name of the first star, right?

Good guy, the cold sweat that Li Liang shouted came down.

I don't know, I think the national team made a big mistake and was scolded like this.

Li Liang had no choice but to go to the sidelines and ask the technical station for a microphone, and said a few words to the audience, "Everyone be civilized, don't call my name." ”

It's easy to quiet down, and the game is about to begin.

On the Chinese side, the starters, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Guo Allen, Li Liang and Ding Yanyuhang.

Yi Jianlian had just given birth to his youngest son, so he took leave to go home.

Although he had rushed back to Beijing, Gong Luming still let him rest and play again in the next game.

Coupled with Yi Jianlian's position in the fourth position, this lineup is the current Chinese team's relatively stable starter, and the five positions can be seen.

However, Gong Luming is still investigating, the third and fifth positions, and the final candidates have not yet been determined.

On the Nigerian side, Li Liang knows one, the Trail Blazers player Aminu.

I don't know the rest of Li Liang, but Nigeria's strength is still very good.

Except for Aminu, who plays in the NBA, many other players play for strong teams in European leagues.

If Li Liang does not join the national team, the strength of the Chinese team and Nigeria will also be five or five.

In addition, Yi Jianlian is not on the field, and there is no Li Liang, that is, it is 4:6.

The Chinese team wore a red jersey for this game, and Nigeria wore a shirt with green edges on a white background.

Li Liang's jersey number has been changed from No. 28 to No. 14, which is exactly half of No. 28.

The jump ball was played by Zhou Qi, and the Chinese team got the ball at the beginning.

The competition has officially begun.

As soon as Li Liang got the ball, there was a faint sound of "Gan Li Liang" at the scene.

This disturbed Li Liang's mentality to a certain extent, and he felt that he was about to collapse.

He has always been as stable as Mount Tai, but when he arrived in Beijing, he was called by the audience, and he really couldn't stand it.

There was a mistake in an inside pass, and Nigeria quickly counter-attacked, with Wang Zhelin fouled in defence.

After that, the baseline serves, and Aminu catches the ball in the bottom corner and hits a mid-range jumper.

Nigeria took the lead 2:0.

Then, the Chinese team wanted to play a quick counterattack, and after a quick serve in the backcourt, Guo Allen ate and rushed to the basket.

It's a pity that Guo Allen is far worse than Westbrook in terms of impact.

There was already a chance in the middle, but he was a little slower and lacked bounce.

Surrounded by three Nigerian players, one made a layup and the ball didn't touch the basket.

Nigeria also counter-attacked quickly with the ball, but it didn't succeed either.

Li Liang, who got the rebound, passed the ball to Xiao Ding, the Chinese team pulled away in four directions, and Zhou Qi received the ball on the right side and tried a three-point shot...... Still missed.

Under the basket, Wang Zhelin wanted to rush to grab the rebound in the front court, but somehow he was hit and fell to the ground.

Nigeria won the rebound in the backcourt, which was also a fast break.

The speed of the opening between the two sides was dazzling.

It's fast, but it's messy, it's not a good pace of play.

Nigeria is the first to stop, play positional warfare, slow down the tempo, and brush it up.

After three passes to the inside line, he hit Zhou Qi and missed the point.

Li Liang rushed to the basket to grab the backcourt rebound, then held the ball, signaled to his teammates, and slowed down.

Since you can't rush up at the beginning, it's better to slow down.
