After the match against the French team, the Chinese team conducted post-match reflection in the dormitory.

Gong Luming didn't get angry, but he still criticized the whole team.

"We lost against the United States! Even if you are defeated, you are still defeated! When I lost, I didn't summarize and pay attention to it, and when I met a different opponent, I still didn't play the effect I should have. Since you are here, you still have to hand over a qualified answer sheet to the people of the whole country! ”

After Gong Luming finished speaking, Li Liang took the initiative to come out and criticize himself.

"I'm still a little bit less scored, and if I get 10 more points, we'll win."

Li Liang's words made a lot of sense, but everyone didn't dare to nod.

Then, Li Liang and everyone briefly analyzed the reasons for losing to the French team.

As for the reason for the failure, Li Liang did not say much.

Because in the Olympic Games, the same opponent is likely to only meet once.

It doesn't matter if you lose to one team, the next opponent wins.

The opponent of the Chinese team in the next game is Australia.

Before the start of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team played a warm-up match with Australia and won.

Australia, unlike France, is not sending a second team, but an authentic all-out main force.

If such an Australian and Chinese team can win, even if it is a warm-up match, it will have a psychological advantage.

Secondly, in terms of lineup and style of play, the Australian team is actually more inclined to the American style of play.

France is a more typical European style of play, and Li Liang will have more ways to deal with American teams and be more accustomed to it.

The teams that play European-style play are relatively poor, especially on the defensive end, insensitive to the tactics of European teams, and the command is not very in place.

After some summarization, on August 8th, the whole team did not go to the beach to watch the waves.

The whole team stayed in the training hall to prepare tactically and adjust the state.

The Chinese team's style of play has not changed, and it is still one shot and four robs.

Gong Luming carried out more detailed tactical arrangements and personnel rotation.

Ensuring that in Li Liang's absence, the Chinese team was able to withstand the pressure of Australia's attack.

Li Liang spent the whole day training his ultra-long-distance three-point shot to find his three-point sense.

In the last game against France, he only made 5 of 15 three-point shots, which was the main reason for the Chinese team's loss.

After two games, Li Liang's three-point shots have exceeded 30 times, which is quite terrifying.

But there is no way, for the Chinese team and Li Liang, this is the most efficient and labor-saving way to play.

Li Liang cut back on his mid-range jumpers, and the rest of his offense was a breakaway to the basket or a close-range pullup jumper.

But if the opponent thinks that Li Liang does not have a middle distance, it will definitely suffer a big loss.

……

On August 9, the third game of the Chinese team, the opponent Australia.

Tonight, the Chinese team wore a white jersey, and Australia wore a green and yellow-edged jersey.

Like the French team, Australia's starters are also NBA players.

Bogut, Baynes, Dellavedova, Anderson, and Joe Ingles are all players who are playing in or have played in the NBA.

The game is about to start and this game is very important for the Chinese team.

Standing in the center circle, Bogut is stretching, as if doing radio gymnastics.

Li Liang stepped forward and said to Bogut: "It's okay, it won't hurt later, I'll take it lightly." ”

The big mouth didn't talk back.

If you play more games with Li Liang, you know that it's best not to talk back.

It's better to play well than to have energy.

Especially Bogut, because he was beaten in his mouth, it is better to be careful.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team has been adjusted compared to the previous game.

Zhou Qi, who originally started the game, was replaced by Wang Zhelin.

Although the level of the two is half a catty, that's it.

But Wang Zhelin is generally more capable of attacking.

Judging from the situation in the last game, with Wang Zhelin on the inside, Li Liang can have one more point to pass and assist.

Zhou Qi's independent offensive ability is still a little worse, conceding too many balls, hooking hands and footsteps are unstable.

In this way, it is still Yi Jianlian in the middle circle and Bogut jumping ball.

Australia were the first to attack.

Anderson asked for the ball in the low post as soon as he started, and hit Wang Zhelin with his back.

Anderson used to play for the Houston Rockets and also partnered with Yao Ming, so Chinese fans are familiar with him.

As a result, Wang Zhelin withstood Anderson's back and forced it, and also caused an offensive foul in Anderson's opening.

On the Chinese side, they did not hand over the ball to Li Liang as soon as they came up.

Guo Allen made a strong basket with the help of Wang Zhelin's cover on the outside, and in the face of Bogut's defense, he made a difficult backward jump shot and hit two points on the board!

The Chinese team needs to rely on Li Liang, but other players cannot be completely without the ability to attack independently.

Wang Zhelin and Guo Allen's attack and defense gave the Chinese team a good start.

Subsequently, the Australian team made another passing error in the attack, the ball went out of the bottom line, and the Chinese team went out of bounds.

The Chinese team started with a high defensive intensity.

Li Liang asked everyone to pay attention on defense.

He didn't want another drama of falling behind by about seventy or eighty points in the opening and then struggling to catch up later.

Isn't it good to take the lead early and press the opponent to play?

Australia have won the first two games.

One victory over France, one victory over Serbia, and both big wins.

It is enough to see how strong Australia is.

So in this game against China, even if China has Li Liang, they are still a little lighthearted.

In the throw-in, Li Liang handed the ball to Guo Allen, and after halftime, Li Liang began to block and dismantle Guo Allen.

This is a tactic that has rarely been seen in the first two games.

In fact, Li Liang is very good at outside blocking and dismantling.

After blocking and dismantling, Li Liang immediately cut outside, received a pass from Guo Allen, shook off the defender with a three-point feint, and cut into the basket from the middle.

Bogut and Anderson both came over to help defend, Li Liang threw a high throw to the inside line, Yi Jianlian jumped high, and an empty catch dunk was successful!

The Chinese team played a good offensive coordination in the opening game.

That's the kind of offense they really need.

Australia, on the other hand, is playing rather rigidly.

It's still a low post, and this time it's a singles for Bogut.

China does not cover the clamp, let Bogut go to fight Yi Jianlian.

Bogut turned his back and hooked his left hand, Yi Jianlian was very smart, and a step back made Bogut a little unstable.

As a result, the ball hooked up wide, did not score, and Li Liang got the backcourt rebound.

He saw the opportunity, and a long pass was made to Ding Yanyuhang, who was about to get down, and Xiao Ding was quick to whip up, rushing to the basket and making a layup.

The Chinese team opened to the Australians a 6:0!

Li Liang didn't score, all from other players.

These three rounds are important for the confidence boost of China's young players.

After Li Liang came to the Chinese team, it is impossible to say how much the technical level of other people has improved.

It's not a system for everyone.

And for more than two months, there is not much time for systematic training.

A large number of competitions are used to train on behalf of others, and the role is mainly running-in, and the improvement of skills and tactics is limited.

But after Li Liang came, the biggest effect was to improve the confidence of the players and have the confidence to compete with the strong team.

Before Li Liang came, the Chinese team was sideways in Asia, but as soon as it beat the strong teams in Europe and the United States, it showed timidity.

What is cowardice? It's just that there are often some inexplicable balls in the game.

For example, I didn't dare to throw in the vacant position, but I wanted to pass, and the result was a mistake.

I didn't dare to play one-on-one singles, hesitated, and made mistakes.

When you need to foul, you are not decisive, and you are beaten 2+1 as a result.

This low-level mistake is due to technical and physical problems on the one hand, and psychological self-confidence on the other.

Obviously, I can vote for it myself, but I have to pass it on, I am afraid, and I feel that I can't enter.

Obviously, you can play alone, and in the face of better defense in Europe and the United States, you are not strong when you are strong, but your technical movements are deformed.

In addition to Li Liang and Yi Jianlian, everyone else in this national team has made all kinds of ugly low-level mistakes on the field.

But Li Liang led the whole team to fight one by one, win one by one, and told them that we can win.

Confidence is always built in victory.

A player with confidence and a player without self-confidence, even if they have the same technique and body, their performance on the field is absolutely different.

Australia attacked again, and Ingles didn't have a chance to pass it after hitting the basket.

Anderson received the ball in the high post, didn't dare to throw, and also wanted to pass it to Bogut.

As a result, the pass was too flat and was slapped off by Yi Jianlian.

Li Liang got the rebound and launched a fast break.

Playing Australia can be fast-attacking, this is not playing the United States.

This time, Li Liang did not pass the ball, and he used his unrivaled body to attack Australia's three-second zone.

Ingles, the chicken thief, also wanted to make a foul under the basket, but he regretted it the moment he was knocked down by Li Liang.

It feels like I'm going to die!

Ingalls was directly knocked away, but Li Liang still made a layup.

The referee hesitated, blew the whistle and blew for a foul on Ingles!

Penalties!

Li Liang high-fived his teammates.

Chinese fans on the sidelines danced happily with the national flag.

It's a good start.
