Chapter 224: The Cowboy Is Busy

After defeating Iran, the Chinese men's basketball team is like a rainbow, and the whole of Asia knows that the Chinese team's pace of winning the championship and returning to the top of Asia has been unstoppable. But the Philippines have spent a lot of money on finding naturalized players and developing mixed-race players like Hoogist, and now that they are paying off, so why are they willing to give up? What's more, the naturalized player Blatche who played this time was also the No. 1 person in the NBA back then, and the contest between a champion and a quasi-star is still unknown!

The idea of the Philippine team is naturally based on Bratcher as the core, supplemented by Jason. Castro. William and Terrance. Bill. Romeo's three-point and penetrating backcourt duo of 180, Blatche is definitely the strongest interior in Asia, and even Haddadi can't compare to it. After all, before coming to China to pan for gold, Blatche also played a 17+8 highlight season in the NBA, and Haddadi's most brilliant season in the Suns in 13 years was only an average of 4+5 per game.

With such a strong inside line and a more small and agile outside line, the Philippines has a flexible tactical choice, relying on 180club's perimeter shooting and fast attack counterattack to quickly open the score; And when the outside line loses its touch or the inside line is crowded and cannot easily break through, Blatche can still attack on the inside. This allows the Filipino team to fully inherit the American style of play with both power and speed.

Coach Thomas. Anthony. Baldwin is even more sophisticated, having coached in Malaysia, Lebanon and Jordan, and even led New Zealand to the Final Four at the 2002 World Basketball Championships. In that event, Baldwin also had a record of confrontation with the Chinese team, he led the team to defeat Wang Fei and led the Chinese men's basketball team with Yao Ming, and in the 2011 Wuhan Asian Championships, Baldwin coached the Jordan team to also stage a super dark horse plot, and eliminated the favorite Iran in the 1/4 finals, and created a lot of trouble for the Chinese team after reaching the final, and almost completed the stunner to steal the championship. The Jordanian team was able to go black at that time, and Baldwin's excellent arrangement and on-the-spot command contributed to it, so he also has the reputation of "miracle director".

Although the other 11 players in the squad except Bracher, who played for Xinjiang in the CBA, all play in the domestic league. However, they have a number of European and American players in the team, so the team's style of play not only has an American style, but also has some European basketball characteristics. Although the team's outside line is generally insufficient, but the confrontation is good, fast, and the projection is accurate, any country in Asia has a headache, and it is difficult for the Chinese team to compete with it with Westbrulen on the outside, but his injury has become a blessing in disguise, and now the No. 1 position of the Chinese team has become a nightmare for the whole of Asia.

Bratcher is obviously the kind of person who understands it, he knows that with his talent, he can only play at the level of a quasi-star in the NBA if he trains hard, and he can barely be a main player, and in Asia he is O'Neal, and even Haddadi can easily dominate the Asian and CBA arenas, his rebounding control, movement speed, footwork, stable mid-to-long range shooting ability, and high-post strategy to organize offense have all become huge advantages. He can dribble through the half court by himself and can hit any inside line with his back, and occasionally there is a Roshan-level inside line like Han Dejun, who can't move with his back, and he can also break through with the ball head-on. The opponent is weak and there is a lot of money to earn, which also makes Bratcher happy in Asia, and even willing to be a planner.

While naturalized players may sound like mercenaries, Bracher remains the tactical core of this Filipino team, both as the initiator and often as the endpoint of the team's attack. And Bracher's ability to play the ball allows the outside three-point shooter to always get a shot when the opponent is in the middle of Bracher, thus making the opponent pay a heavy price. And his weakness in rebounding in the NBA has disappeared, and he can really be described as an idiom for grabbing rebounds in the Asian arena.

Jason. Castro. William is the Filipino's most consistent three-point shooter, shooting quickly into Curry and suddenly shooting like the NBA's Kevin. Martin, even if he has a bad shooting opportunity, he is prone to fouls; It is precisely because of these two characteristics that William's breakthrough skills are very skillful, the success rate of the middle cut and the assault on both sides is good, and the inside line can impact the basket and create fouls; You can make a quick stop to shoot; You can also score by throwing. A height of 180 like William is the shortest type of person in professional basketball, and in order to make up for the lack of height, this type of player will be more oppressive and aggressive in individual defense.

William scored 17.8 points per game in this Asian Championship, which is not far behind Bracher's scoring figures. In particular, his three-point shooting rate reached 47.6%, leaving aside the Chinese team, this shooting rate is enough to bluff people wherever he goes! In the rematch of the Philippines' victory over Iran, he contributed as many as 17 points by breaking through alone, becoming the number one contributor to the victory.

Another sharpshooter, Terrence. Bill. For some reason, Romeo also has a large number of "fans" in China who don't know what to do. In the Asian competitions in recent years, if Romeo has any good performance, it will be pulled out and praised by some domestic fans, and then take the opportunity to belittle the Chinese team's back line. In fact, Romeo's characteristics are similar to William, he is also thin but breaks through very quickly, has a good ability to change direction, has a high shooting percentage outside the three-point line, and sometimes even dares to shoot three points against the opponent, and can really score when he shoots.

But Romeo is also different from William, there is a Japanese animation called "Kuroko's Basketball", in which the protagonist Kuroko Tetsuya is relatively thin, inconspicuous and has no sense of existence, and it is this that makes his passing unguardable. Romeo is the same, obviously similar in height and similar ball style, but his presence is much lower than William, and Romeo is using this characteristic of his own, often able to easily seize opportunities under the cover of teammates and easily cut to the basket to score easily.

Romeo and William's backcourt partnership is an important factor for the Philippines to be able to play fast, tonight China and the Philippines are competing for the championship, I am afraid that only the Philippines can keep up with the speed of the current Chinese men's basketball team among these teams in Asia. From the perspective of the technical style of the whole team, the Philippine team is like a high-end version of the South Korean team, although they have a tall interior like Bracher, but they advocate outside attack. In the first eight games, the Philippines averaged 26.2 three-pointers per game, which significantly exceeded the 19.2 per game of South Korea, which is the main scoring tool for three-point points. In addition, the Philippine team has a lot of fast-break counterattacks, the team's offensive style of play is flexible, and the attack points are relatively scattered, with a total of 5 players averaging more than 8 points per game.

The biggest advantage of the Philippines over the South Korean team is that they have Asian O'Neill Bracher, and at the same time, there are also veterans with considerable defensive experience such as Diocampo and Taurava, and the Chinese men's basketball team is now the young man in charge, with the courage of a newborn calf against the experience of old scheming, which is also another highlight of the Asian Championship finals.

After the two games of the Chinese men's basketball team against India and Iran, many Chinese who do not watch basketball also learned that the Chinese men's basketball team produced a hot-blooded young Helianwu. And Helian Wu's patriotism also awakened everyone's patriotic enthusiasm, and the final of the Asian Championships received unprecedented attention in China. On the day of the game against the Philippines, thousands of people were empty, and the people of the country were staying in front of the TV to see how this young man swept away the decline of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Yao Ming era a few years ago and won glory for the country.

Bracher unexpectedly came to greet Hoggist before the opening period, much to Hoggist's surprise. Bratcher was very friendly, took the initiative to reach out and shook the hand of Hougist, and said: "Two days ago my old teammate SaggyP asked me to go on vacation, and I told him, 'Hey buddy, no!' I'm going to represent the Philippines in the Asian Championships! But Saggy told me, 'There's no need to pay so much attention to the Asian Championships, you can't win the championship anyway, when you meet the Chinese team, your holiday will come!' 'Saggy is your teammate now, right?' Can you tell me what he means? ”

Hoggist smiled and said, "Saggy's words are literal, and if you meet us, you will lose and go home." ”

Anyway, the big words that guarantee to win the championship have long been blown out, and Hougist can only continue to be ashamed. Bratcher was not angry, and still persuaded with a smile: "Young man, I am also a mixed player in the NBA, I have played more games than you have scored, to give you a word of advice, basketball is round, all accidents can happen, and if you are too confident, you will suffer!" ”

"You're right, anything is possible, so don't be too surprised how many points you lose later!" Haugess nodded in agreement with Bracher's words.

"How do you feel like I'm saying everything in vain?" Bratcher was frustrated by Hougist's lack of oil and salt.

"Some people always like to use their own experience to educate others, just like an ordinary college student told Gates and Steve Jobs that it was wrong to drop out of school, and that if you want to start a business, you can wait until after graduating from college; For example, most players who have played in the NCAA also persuaded Kobe Bryant and LeBron to go to college to hone themselves, and it is difficult for high school players to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game. There was nothing malicious in Hougist's words, he just wanted to tell Bratcher that he didn't need his advice, but Hoggist didn't know that Bratcher was a failed high school player, which sounded downright sarcastic to him.

"You little guy is so rude, I am a person who has no quarrel with the world, this championship is not attractive to me, I just took the money from the Philippines to do things for them, for the sake of China's fate, I also plan to release the water to let you win the championship and lie down in the Olympic Games!" I didn't expect you to dare to sarcastically mock us high school players who didn't play! It seems that I am going to break my promise to the big boss of the Xinjiang team, and I am going to decide the championship today! Bracher puffed.

"I didn't ......" Haugist listened inexplicably, and he gave two examples at random, how did it become sarcastic about him? But after thinking about it, Bracher's words really reminded himself that there are so many sunspots on the Internet now, and today Bracher really doesn't play seriously if he doesn't play seriously like he said, and someone will spray the game after the game, or the CBA club buys Bracher to release water, etc., Hougist doesn't want to be splashed with dirty water for nothing, so he made up his mind that he will admit it himself, and let Bratcher sell his strength on the court, thinking that a player like him who can't get along in the NBA and comes to the CBA can't make any big waves. So Hoggist raised his head and smiled: "If you want to release water and go back to the locker room toilet to release water, it is not your turn to say release water on the field, and it is natural that the weak team can't beat the strong team, and if you don't play seriously on the field, it is called giving up and not releasing water!" ”

"You ......" Bracher was angry with a little stomach pain, this NBA new champion Xiu's mouth is too poisonous, he is 10 years old, he can't talk about him?

"But let's just see the real chapter on the field! Don't wait a while, I'll have to take the blame for the sudden death of the heart's heart! Hoggist patted Bracher's arm and turned and walked away.

At this time, Bracher was trembling with anger, but there was no chance to refute it verbally, he stomped his foot, turned around and returned to the half-court basket in Philippine training and dunked hard with all his strength to relieve his breath.

Soon the game began, and the Philippine team, as expected by the media, sent a starting lineup of Willian and Romeo in the backfield, and the forward line was 196cm 30-year-old veteran Gabriel. Daniel. Norwood and fellow 196cm stocky rebounder Monster Dee. Ocampo; And the center forward is undoubtedly Bracher. This lineup clearly shows that the Philippines intends to compete with the Chinese team for speed.

The lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team has also been adjusted, Helian Wu returned to the No. 1 position, the No. 2 position is Ma Kan, the No. 3 position is Zhou Peng, the No. 4 position Jia Cheng, and the No. 5 position unexpectedly went up to Li Muhao. This is also the first time that Li Muhao has made his debut in this Asian Championships. It seems that the Chinese team still has some scruples about Bracher's attack power on the inside.

However, the audience found that it was still Hoggist who did the opening jump. Hougist is indeed a little bottomless about Bracher's strength, but this kind of simple touch high game without physical confrontation Hougist is full of confidence, the highest point of the two standing touch height is Hougist, and the speed of Hougister is also confident and faster, if the jump ball will lose like this, then Hougist feels that Bracher is at least a second-in-command when he returns to the NBA.

The opening jump was a show moment for Hoggist, and even Bracher's anger didn't serve as a booster, as Hoggist turned the ball back into his own half as easily as he usually does. Makan gave the ball back to Hoggist, who dribbled at the top of the arc while staring at the opposing defender and said, "I wonder which of you two is going to defend me?" Why don't you go together? How did you sing that song? Don't bother, don't bother, it's not long before you attack a few of you together, justice calls me, beauties need me, cowboys are busy! ”
