“…… What did you say?! ”

Wrong?

One night before the start of the semifinals, Chen Mu specially found Gu Yu and asked in detail what Gu Yu thought was wrong with the American team.

"Gu, you...... Is it serious?? ”

After that night, Chen Mu completely understood what Gu Yu meant.

"Do you really want to do that??"

A day later, August 11.

The semi-finals begin.

"With all due respect, this is ...... I'm afraid it's not good for the team, right?? ”

The pre-match warm-up has ended, and the Chinese team is making final tactical confirmation on the sidelines.

Coach Deng Ward has just finished talking about the selection of alignments and some details of defensive execution.

Gu Yu suddenly came up with an idea.

"yes!"

Deng Huade's incomprehension aroused the recognition of many Chinese players, and Liu Wei stepped forward and said: "Cousin, I appreciate your fighting spirit, but ...... That's not right! ”

"Cousin think twice, I'm serious."

Sun Yue also said with a straight face: "To be honest, if you can put forward such an idea, as a person, I must be happy and relaxed." But the stakes are too big for the team! ”

"That's it, calm down a little, we all believe that you are very good, we have cooperated until now, so many games have been played, and everyone is very convinced of you."

Chen Jianghua also persuaded: "But you have this idea...... It's too risky. ”

"yes, yes......"

The rest of the players of the Chinese team echoed for a while, and everyone was persuading Gu Yu to think twice.

"Nope."

Gu Yu directly refused: "This game can be avoided, but in the next game, I still have to face it." ”

Gu Yu, what ideas did you put forward? Why does it make the whole team feel inappropriate?

And Gu Yu himself, why should he insist?

“…… Am I saying that I can't move you anymore? ”

Deng Huade saw the determination in Gu Yu's eyes and asked, "I know your stubborn temper, so is it that you will do this no matter what?" ”

"I don't think it's appropriate to talk to the manager like that, but ......"

Gu Yu nodded: "Yes, coach." ”

“…… Hey, hey, cousin, calm down!! ”

The players of the Chinese team blew up on the spot.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing that Gu Yu was unmoved, still looking like he didn't cry without seeing the coffin, Deng Huade sighed secretly in his heart, stopped the words of the rest of the players, and asked, "Give me a reason." ”

"No."

Gu Yu turned his head, glanced at the stands, and immediately locked on the corner of the stands, a group of tall and strong players: "This is the reason." ”

Well......?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all looked back at the stands.

“HELLO，GUYS！”

The players of the U.S. team, who were watching the game on the sidelines, saw the eyes of the Chinese players and greeted them.

The reasons are...... Team USA??

What is this brain circuit???

The semi-finals between the United States and Spain will be played after the match between China and Argentina, and they will watch from the sidelines, of course, to see who will be their opponents in the final.

Although it seems to be a little disrespectful to the Spanish team to say this, the American team does have the confidence and confidence to kill Spain.

"It's not...... I don't understand. ”

The Arab Emirates, who has always been reticent, also spoke: "The reason is the American team? What happened to Team USA? Does it have anything to do with this game? ”

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Yu shook his head and said: "If our goal is just to find a way to win this game, and then it doesn't matter what happens after that, and there is nothing else to ask for, then the coach and you are right, I shouldn't be so willful, I should listen to your advice and follow the coach's instructions." But ......"

As he spoke, a light flashed in the depths of Gu Yu's eyes.

“…… But if our goal is to win the championship, then I have to do it. ”

This......

The whole Chinese team was stunned from top to bottom.

What is this??

"Gu, I said ......"

"Coach, I support my cousin's opinion."

On the side, Chen Mu spoke.

“…… Yes?? ”

Deng Huade is going crazy, a Gu Yu is just nervous, and even the core of the team, Chen Mu, the world's first basketball player, is also crazy?

Is this the rhythm of the day to die??

"You two ......"

"I don't know if you've watched the quarterfinals between the U.S. and Brazil."

Chen Mu interrupted Deng Huade's words and said, "I mean, review after the game and analyze it carefully. ”

“…… Not yet. ”

Liu Wei replied truthfully: "We were all on the sidelines during the game, and the whole audience watched it. But because we can't meet the U.S. team for the time being, we definitely won't start the review so early. If you want to replay, we'll have to wait until today we win, and the U.S. team wins, and we're sure we're going to do it after we meet in the final, right? ”

"That's right."

Chen Mu nodded and said, "Because of this, you may not have noticed that something was wrong with the American team in the quarterfinals. ”

Wrong?

What's wrong??

"The focus of the U.S. team's attack was on the third and fourth positions, that is, the forward line."

Gu Yu explained: "This is very understandable, because in the world basketball world, except for the United States team, among the players from other countries, the two positions with the highest star output rate are point guard and center. ”

Indeed it is.

Everyone nodded.

"The U.S. team is strong in point guards, but the center is weak, and compared to world basketball, the advantage of the U.S. team in the No. 1 and No. 5 positions is either not so great, or it may not even have an advantage - provided that you don't consider how far some young American point guards can grow in the future."

Gu Yu continued: "So the position where the American team has the greatest advantage in the opposition is the forward line. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, these three guys come out, and no team's No. 3 position can compete with. Even if LeBron or Anthony goes to play the No. 4 position, the rest of the world, except for us, there is no team with the No. 4 position, saying that they can stabilize them, right? ”

Even if Gasol is really against LeBron, it is basically a rhythm of mutual explosion, not to mention stable pressure.

There's nothing wrong with that.

"Therefore, from the first game to the present, the offensive focus of the American team has been on the third or fourth position, giving LeBron and others enough balls to destroy opponents one-on-one, drive the rhythm, and seek opportunities to take away the game in a direct wave."

Chen Mu added: "Not to mention other countries, our Sun Yue Zhu Ba is the top No. 3 position in Asia, in the face of LeBron's full impact, how many rounds can you withstand?"

This......

Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu glanced at each other and lowered their heads in unison.

"Everyone has seen the results of the tactical arrangement of the American team."

Gu Yu continued: "Anthony and Durant, basically you break out and I break out. Their range is too long, their athleticism is too strong, they are invincible on the field, and their offense is stable. And LeBron is basically in a semi-recuperating state, and he hasn't made much effort. ”

"It stands to reason that a quarter against the Brazilian team, Brazil's strong point is the point guard and the interior, the strength of the No. 3 position is very average, if the U.S. team just wants to win, just hand over all the ball to the No. 3 position to deal with, no need to make any more tactical arrangements, lie down and wait for LeBron to lead the team to win, isn't it beautiful?"

“…… That's right. ”

Deng Huade somewhat understood what Gu Yu and Chen Mu meant, and nodded.

"But they didn't."

Gu Yu nodded to Deng Huade to thank him for his understanding, and continued: "You look at their game data against Brazil, don't mention the 119 points in the whole game, just talk about the score distribution. Anthony was in such good condition that he was about to explode, and he was in his thirties as if he was playing. Durant is also a basic 20+ game, and there is no suspense about who will explode. ”

"But against Brazil, Anthony has 17 points and Durant has only 14 points."

…… Yes? Is that so?

To be honest, the Chinese players really didn't pay attention to this detail, they only saw the United States team invincible on the field, fast attack and flying, and they really didn't pay much attention to who scored more points - because in the face of Brazil's defense, even Iguodala can kill seven in and seven out.

Now that Gu Yu is so little, everyone recalls it again and finds that it is indeed the case.

What's even more terrifying is that LeBron James doesn't mean to score more points, there are few breakthroughs in the whole game, all of them are doing defense, grabbing rebounds, pushing counterattacks, sending assists, and at the end of the game is 11 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, and a triple-double. And who is the person with the most points? ”

Gu Yu said: "In the first half, Deron Williams scored 13 points and chased Brazil's scoring core Barbosa and beat him hard. In the fourth quarter of the second half, Bryant hit four three-pointers in a row and scored 20 points in the game. And DeLong only has 2 assists, Kobe Bryant has 3 assists, these two guys have never thought about passing the ball to drive teammates and anything like that, getting the ball is offensive and offensive, and the storm generally does not stop. ”

As for the organization's affairs, of course, it is left to LeBron to deal with.

This is what went wrong with the U.S. team in the quarterfinals.

"There are so many leading scorers in the U.S. team, why let Delon be the main attack in the first half?"

Gu Yu said step by step: "The final quarter is decided, why do you want Kobe Bryant to make more shots?" What is Team USA thinking? Isn't it obvious yet?? ”

"They're going to shift the focus of the attack."

Deng Huade completely understood what Gu Yu meant, and nodded: "Shift the focus of scoring from the third and fourth positions to the first and second positions." ”

“…… But what's the good of that?? ”

Zhang Zhaoxu asked.

"It's really no good to play Brazil."

Deng Huade said while thinking: "But it will be very beneficial to beat us." ”

"We have Chen in the front line, and it is difficult for the U.S. team to take advantage of the third and fourth positions. Our back line is good, the attack is bullish, but the defense is far from the top. The United States is like we played France before, their idea is very simple, that is, to use the offense on the back line to repeatedly find Gu heads-up, consume and destroy Gu's defense, physical fitness and confidence, and then take away the ...... of the game with points! ”

Barbossa of the Brazilian team is the experimental subject of the American team, Gu Yu's substitute.

The U.S. team has been preparing for the finals for a long time, and the Chinese team is their number one imaginary enemy.

Thinking of this, Deng Huade's eyes when he looked at Gu Yu became clearer.

Ten minutes later, the game began.
