The Chinese team, under the leadership of Li Liang, played better and better in the second quarter.

It seems to have returned to the era when Yao Ming was owned.

Give the ball to Yao Ming, and then there is always a piece on the outside for the shooters to shoot.

But in the Yao Ming era, there were high-quality three-point shooters like Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng.

The current Chinese men's basketball team is really much worse in terms of projection ability on the outside.

For example, Zhu Fangyu can be said to have swept the whole country in the CBA, but when he arrived in the international arena, he found that he was too slow to shoot, and he couldn't score goals under high-intensity confrontation.

So he worked hard to practice his shooting speed, change his shooting posture, and adapt to the shooting rhythm of international competitions.

Wang Shipeng is even more famous for his big heart, and the stunner of the World Championships is still vivid.

Now this Chinese team, on the front line, Zhai Xiaochuan and Zhou Peng are not three-point marksmen, one is a commando and the other is a defensive engineer.

Ding Yanyuhang is considered to have strong personal ability and good three-point shots, but he is trained as a core in the CBA.

As a fixed-point shooter, he doesn't necessarily qualify.

As for Li Gen, he was a heavy tank in the CBA, and it was a bit of a chicken rib in the international arena.

It can be said that the three points of this Chinese team are a weakness.

And in the current situation where the trend of basketball around the world is going out and the three-point shot is becoming more and more important, this lineup is really difficult to describe.

Half of the second quarter was played, and Li Liang led his teammates to chase the score desperately.

There were several opportunities on the outside, but my teammates didn't take them.

The Italian team eased up, and the strength of the team was better after all, and they quickly stabilized their position and slowly stabilized their advantage.

Li Liang had to go to the basket to fight for the rebounds in the front court.

He has to organize, he has to pass, he has to attack, he has to grab, and he has to command on the defensive end.

Li Liang really wanted to say, "You are the worst class I have ever led!" ”

It is indeed the worst class, and it is not half a point.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team was 38:43, 5 points behind the Italian team.

In the second quarter, the Chinese team caught up with 11 points at once.

Of course, Li Liang contributed a lot, he hit two three-pointers alone, scored 8 points under the basket, and also made fouls, and scored 16 points alone.

The Italian fans at the scene watched it quite enjoyable.

Super long-range three-pointers, pull-up jump shots, high-tempo counterattacks, concise and efficient basketball skills, and elusive steals, Li Liang showed all the skills he was good at.

He was in good form today and the Italian team obviously didn't know how to defend against him.

In FIBA games, joint defense is the more common way to defend.

But for Li Liang, using joint defense to defend him is to let him shoot three points.

Of course, Li Liang didn't shoot casually outside, he made full use of his three-point deterrent, combined with his simple but effective breakthroughs, to constantly stir up the Italian team's defense.

If it weren't for the poor three-point shooting rate of other players in the Chinese team, it would be impossible for the Chinese team to turn the score over at halftime.

At halftime, in the locker room, Gong Luming didn't speak, and let Li Liang say all the words.

At this time, the men's basketball players realized that Li Liang was a good talker off the court, but on the basketball court, his words really made you uncomfortable.

"Do you know how to shoot? Do you dare to shoot? Can I go in? ”

"When you get the ball, you don't dare to shoot; If you throw, you can't score, and if someone interferes with it slightly, the ball will be deflected and crooked. ”

"You're a professional footballer, don't you have a little pursuit? How do you usually train? Isn't it satisfying to be the first in Asia? ”

"Physical fitness, technical level can't be improved in a short time, what about spirit? What about courage? What about hard work? Defensively, desperate rushing and running is hard work, right? Can you use your brain, can you move your mouth, where is the communication? I'm shouting inside, do you guys have a response? Do you know why you should be so precautionary? ”

"There are also some bad habits, don't stop passing, don't stop passing, are you still in kindergarten? Passing the ball has to stop and look twice, do you know the dead ball? Once you kill the ball and then pass it, what's the tactical point of other than directing the ball to your teammates? Can you mobilize your opponents? Is there a triple threat? As soon as you hold the ball with both hands, the opponent has plenty of time to prepare, what is the point of your pass other than to remove the dead ball? What's the use! ”

Li Liang only played one session with the men's basketball team, and he pulled out all the bad habits of the men's basketball team when playing and scolded them.

These Gong Luming guides usually mention it, but he also knows that it is really difficult to change these things when they are cultivated.

Just stop the ball and pass the ball, many people don't hold the ball with both hands to find someone to pass the ball, and they may make a mistake.

The problem is that this kind of passing has no tactical meaning, it is completely unable to mobilize the opponent's defense, and it does not have suddenness, it is just a pure trick, and it is a waste pass.

Playing Asian teams, relying on individual ability to press the opponent to play.

Once a team with strong European and American teams, strong defense and good physical fitness, if it can't make a fuss about speed, the Chinese team without the advantage of the three centers can only kill itself.

And speed isn't just about running fast.

Li Liang scolded one by one, Gong Luming, and the rest of the coaching staff, and the team leader were all listening.

Gong Gui didn't speak all the time, but he felt that Li Liang said it well.

Sometimes, the coach talks too much and the players get tired.

Anyway, that's it, you can't change it, how to say it.

And now the young players have strong personalities, and the 13 members of the national youth team pressed their handprints to "admonish" and demanded the dismissal of head coach Fan Bin.

Because Fan Bin is a player from the older generation of the army, scolding and even corporal punishment is commonplace, and he has long been used to it.

The young players couldn't stand his style and even impeached the head coach.

Among the players of the national youth team at the beginning, there were Guo Allen, Wang Zhelin, Ding Yanyuhang, Zhai Xiaochuan, and Li Muhao, who have now entered the national team.

Although Coach Gong has deep qualifications and is still a meritorious coach, he was unhappy with the Basketball Association just now.

In addition, the above requirement for leading the team at the beginning is to train newcomers, so sometimes it passes with one eye closed and one eye closed.

Otherwise, this group of young men will come to the army again, and the palace director will not be able to bear this age.

Li Liang is different, an absolute superstar, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the spiritual idol of this group of people.

Although the age gap is not large, the achievement gap is too large.

Now the national team needs such a core existence with enough prestige, strength, and can scold.

Yi Jianlian is a good leader, but unfortunately his personality is more introverted and he is a good big brother, but he is not an excellent spur.

Li Liang is elegant and easy-going off the field, and his mouth is fragrant on the field.

In order to take care of the emotions of the men's basketball players, he didn't even turn on the hair dryer.

If you turn on the hair dryer, I'm afraid you won't scold some people for tears.

With a spout of passion, the fifteen minutes of the intermission passed.

Li Liang does not expect to say that a scolding can correct a bad problem, at least he must pay attention to it in his spiritual consciousness, and there will be opportunities for improvement in the future.

After the start of the third quarter, the Italian team began to change its defensive strategy - to wrap up Li Liang.

The effect on Li Liang's bag clamp is still very obvious.

Because except for Li Liang, the ability of the rest of the men's basketball team to handle the ball is indeed much worse.

Guo Allen and Xiao Ding are already very good at handling the ball, but in the face of Italy's strong defense, there are still not many offensive methods.

At this time, Li Liang asked the whole team to focus on defense.

Zhou Qi and Li Liang partnered on the inside, and Li Liang kept prompting Zhou Qi to fill in the position.

"Move! You move! ”

"Left, left, past and past."

Li Liang's soul-calling command method is also a kind of torture for his teammates.

It's as if there's always someone behind you whipping you, does that feel good?

But the defensive intensity of the Chinese team has really gone up.

Once he got the backcourt rebound, Li Liang began to instigate counterattacks.

Zhai Xiaochuan took advantage of his speed and scored two quick counterattacks in a row, helping the Chinese team narrow the gap to 1 point.

But immediately, the Italian team, which came back to its senses, used the skillful transmission ball from the outside to tear apart the defense of the Chinese team.

hit two three-pointers in a row from the outside, hitting a small 8-0 climax for the Chinese team and re-establishing the advantage.

Li Liang missed two three-pointers from the outside.

However, the Chinese team on the inside is very active.

Li Liang knew that he didn't feel very good, and after getting the rebound in the front court, he hit the basket and made a foul.

The Chinese team always clung to the score and did not let the Italian team pull the difference apart.

Throughout the third quarter, the two sides fought quite intensely.

Italy has always maintained the lead, but the Chinese team is also pressing step by step under the leadership of Li Liang.

In fact, Li Liang can open a matchless, post a mid-range hit sticker, or light up his own Heavenly King Medal, and he can turn the score around by himself.

But such a reversal does not make sense.

He still keeps passing the ball to his teammates, directing the defense, and attacking himself when it's time to do it.

Played like LeBron James.

In the fourth quarter, the players of the Chinese team finally got into the groove and found some feeling.

Some of Li Liang's passes, they can accurately receive and make the right reaction - in fact, just a correct reaction, that is, to attack without hesitation!

The Chinese team is playing more and more, while Italy is playing harder and harder.

Because the scene was all about cheering for Li Liang, and there was no cheering for the Italian team!

This bunch of traitors!

Italian, not a loss.

Li Liang did not rest throughout the second half, leading the Chinese team to grind with Italy little by little.

The difference in points is sometimes stretched to 10 points, and Li Liang can slowly chase back the points.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team still trailed by 3 points.

At this time, the time has come to show your personal abilities.

After Li Liang covered a single block on the outside, he pulled up a three-point shot!

Not only did it cause a foul on Gallinari, but the ball was also scored!

Score four!

BLM Arena is jubilant.

That's what we're here to see!

After hitting the penalty shot, the Chinese team took the lead for the first time in the whole game.

The young Italian fans on the sidelines looked happier than anyone else.

The Chinese team's morale can be said to be greatly boosted.

was pressed and fought for the whole time, and every time I had to come out to breathe, I was pressed down.

At the last moment, it was finally overtaken, and the pressure was on the Italian team.

At this time, Li Liang highlighted the true character of Mr. Key.

He who had been shrinking into the three-second zone to defend suddenly expanded his defense and wrapped up the opponent's ball carrier with Guo Allen.

[Death Coil] steal!

Then he assisted Guo Allen to make a layup and extended the score advantage to 3 points!

It was the winning goal.

Italy then called a timeout, but came back with a three-point strategy from the outside that didn't work and didn't hit.

In the end, the foul tactics had to be used, and the Chinese team seized the opportunity and gave the ball to Li Liang for him to make free throws.

He couldn't go wrong with his free throws, hitting in a row.

In the end, in this warm-up match, China defeated the opponent with a 4-point advantage of 84:80 and won the championship of the Four Nations Invitational Tournament under the leadership of Li Liang with a huge disadvantage of 0:18 at the beginning.

Li Liang made a good start to his Olympic journey.
