“…… Relax your mind, execute your tactics after you get on the court, don't leave a trace of mercy, and we want to tell basketball fans all over the world with our practical actions...... China will win! ”

“1、2、3…… China will win!! ”

Two days later, July 31, 2012.

In the second game of the Chinese men's basketball team, the opponent was the Russian men's basketball team, which had played a dark horse performance in the European Championships.

With the first game as a foreshadowing, the momentum of the Chinese team soared. In the case of being unfavored by most ball critics before the game, the Chinese team came up with an unexpected solution.

Do you think our defense is poor, positional warfare is not good, and the inside advantage is missing?

Okay, then let's not fight defensively.

Let's fight to attack!

Deng Huade's thinking is really completely different from the thinking of other coaches of the Chinese team before. Deng Huade, who is from the United States, seems to be quite flexible in his understanding of basketball. In the eyes of most coaches, offense wins the box office, and defense wins championships. Especially in the group round-robin and knockout system like the Olympic Games, every game can be a matter of life and death, and defense should be the main color of the game.

But in Deng Huade's view, since the dishes at hand are not enough to make a table of "hard dishes" that are stubbornly defensive, why not just let go of your hands and feet, don't be entangled and obsessed with whether the defense is successful once or twice, but try to push the speed as much as possible, push the counterattack, find the success rate of the attack, and fight with the opponent's bayonet to attack?

The first game against Spain was just a small test of Deng Ward's thinking.

In the second game against Russia, whose overall strength was far inferior to Spain's, Deng Huade's basketball concept began to be truly displayed in front of the world.

"Get moving, get moving!!"

"Cut! Cut in when you have the chance! Don't hesitate! ”

"Good opportunity! If there is an open space, make a decisive shot, don't wait for the defense to come up! Don't care if the rebounds will be lost, we have Chen! ”

"Offense, offense, offense, offense!! Get the ball and hand it over to the front court immediately! Didn't you see that Gu had already sneaked away?!! ”

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese players were still a little uncomfortable, and for many years they had been deeply rooted in their hearts with the mentality of "seeking stability", and the Chinese team played a little nondescript and failed to play the expected wonderful attack.

This point made the Russian team with full physical fitness seize the opportunity, and the Russian beasts led by Kirilenko roamed around to make up for the defense, wreaking havoc on the offensive rhythm and ideas of the Chinese team, and then seized every opportunity to hit behind him and use the advantage of physical fitness to attack the Chinese team's basket.

"Beep beep! The Chinese team defends the foul!! ”

"What......?!"

The offensive and defensive intensity of the Russian team, especially the enthusiasm for physical confrontation, made the Chinese team very uncomfortable, and the continuous impact on the basket made the Chinese team a little careless on the outside, and frequently leaked people, resulting in Russian players being able to frequently impact the basket of the Chinese team guarded by Chen Mu and the United Arab Emirates.

Russia's strategy worked wonders, and before the first quarter was over, Chen Mu received his second foul and had to leave the game early.

“YEEEEEEEES！！！”

The Russian fans at the scene were jubilant, seeing that the nuclear weapons they feared the most in the Chinese team went down, the Russians cheered excitedly, and they only felt that they had won the victory.

“…… Damn it! ”

When Chen Mu got off the field, he complained to the referee a few words, but he didn't get a response, and he was angry and wanted to go to the bench to throw a towel.

"Don't worry!"

Behind him, Gu Yu's voice sounded.

"You have a good rest, without you as a burden, we can attack unscrupulously!"

“…… Why don't you die! ”

Chen Mu was amused by Gu Yu's words, and shook his head with laughter.

However, the facts and evidence, Gu Yu was not wrong.

The Russians, it's too early to rejoice.

"The game continues! The Russian team hit both free throws, and it is currently 19-17 with a two-point lead! The Chinese team attacked, Liu Wei went to the frontcourt, and the top of the arc organized ...... Gu Yu ran out of the empty seat! The UAE's cover is very solid, Liu Wei gives the ball, Gu Yu ...... Three points back! ”

"Huh!"

"Yes!!"

Chen Mu's fate made the Chinese players completely let go of the burden in their hearts.

"Russia's offense missed, and the UAE's rebounding ball was well protected! I want to give it to Liu Wei...... No! Throw the front court directly! Gu Yu ran away! Sheved is chasing behind, can't catch up! Gu Yu jumped and glided with one hand...... Middle!!! ”

On the defensive side, the Chinese team no longer thinks about always relying on Chen Mu, the last gate, and the defensive attention on the outside has improved by more than one notch. Sun Yue's all-round skills, Liu Wei's strong body, and Gu Yu's sneaking complement each other, and they have repeatedly played wonderful counterattacks.

"Kirilenko made a beautiful crotch pass to Kolpaja, who was cut behind him, and made a layup...... The UAE hat fanflies! Sun Yue got the ball! Is there a ...... in the counterattack speed? The front court passed to the flank, Gu Yu received the ball and wanted to throw, Cowan was flown off, Gu Yu faked to the ribs, and made a quick stop to shoot...... Continuing !! ”

On the offensive end, the Chinese team no longer wants to find Chen Mu every round, and waits for Chen Mu to destroy the opponent every round. The running of all the players has become much more active, using the mobility of the players to make a fuss, and the several collaborations have been concise and powerful, the ball is fast, and the shots have become much more decisive.

The Russian team Sherved looked for cover, hung Mengya's block at the top of the arc, Mengya dismantled to the basket, blocked Liu Wei along the way, and Sherved made a three-point shot...... ANSER-BALL！！ ”

The Russians are not fuel-efficient, Kirilenko's central role is still eye-catching, and the tall talent at the outside point guard position Severde has also shown that he is at the top of the European arena.

Although the consistency is not good, Sherved's style of play is extremely imaginative, and he can make some amazing choices from time to time, but he also caught the Chinese team off guard several times.

But the Chinese team still has a magic weapon that has not been used.

"Last attack before halftime!"

Chen Mu came back in the second quarter, and Gu Yu played for a long time in the first quarter in order to continue the firepower when Chen Mu was not there, resulting in the last 5 minutes of the second quarter coming back. The score of the two sides has not been completely opened, and it has been hovering around 5 points.

In the first half of the second quarter, in order to support the Chinese team's offense and defense with Chen Mu, the UAE continued to stay on the court. There was no break for the first fifteen minutes. At the end of the second quarter, the UAE rested off the court and allowed Russian substitute Mozgov to hit consecutive good shots to close the score.

In the last attack of the second quarter, the lineup sent by the Chinese team was a lineup with a starter with substitutes: Wang Shipeng and Gu Yu in the backcourt, Zhu Fangyu and Chen Mu in the front, and Wang Zhizhi, a veteran in the center position.

The defense of this lineup is weak, almost only Chen Mu has passed the defense, and the Russian team's strategy of attacking the basket is even more like a fish in water, and it continues to put pressure on the Chinese team.

"Bang, bang, bang"

There were still 12 seconds left in the time, Wang Shipeng controlled the ball in the middle, waiting for the time to continue to pass, and in the last 5 seconds, on both sides of the top of the arc, Chen Mu and Dazhi stepped forward to make two-way covers.

Break through on the right!

Wang Shipeng sprinted to the right side, and Zhu Fangyu and Gu Yu crossed the bottom line to open up space in the bottom corners of both sides, causing the Russian team's defense line to expand extremely.

"Go down! Chen Mu went down!! ”

Chen Mu, who had completed the cover, turned around and dismantled to the basket, and Sheved and Mozgov on his side involuntarily tightened under the basket, watching the basketball being hoisted high towards Chen Mu.

"Rub ......!"

Chen Muzhu ran and jumped, picked off the basketball in the air, and wanted to attack after landing, but there were already three people around him, and he couldn't shoot at all.

But he wasn't worried.

“…… Brother Wei help block it! ”

Because he knows that at this time, there is a person who will definitely start to run.

"This !!"

Gu Yu!

"Whoosh!!"

There was no need to look at Gu Yu's position at all, Chen Mu pulled the ball to his side with one hand, and a back pass looked like Chris Weber, and the basketball roared through the Russian team's basket defense and went straight to the ribs.

"Supplemental defense, !!"

On the bench of the Russian team, the coaching staff was anxious and sweaty, this is Gu Yu! If he takes the ball easily in this position, it will be harder not to score than to score!

Complement the defense!

Kirilenko's reaction was the fastest, AK47 turned around sharply with a smear of oil under his feet, his hands spread out like a huge spider, and he was shrouded in front of Gu Yu, saying that he would not let Gu Yu make a move.

The basketball was about to fall into Gu Yu's hands, and Kirilenko rushed forward with a big step at his feet, wanting to kill this opportunity directly in the cradle.

However, when basketball started, Gu Yu made a choice that surprised the Russians.

"Whew...... Syllable! ”

With a one-handed backhand wave, Gu Yu seemed to be playing tennis, but instead of holding a racket in his hand, he used his palm to exert force, changing the trajectory of the basketball in mid-air.

“…… Sou!!! ”

The basketball rushed out with a gust of wind, from Chen Mu to Gu Yu to the outside, and walked through a lightning-like path, and the direction to be traveled was......

“…… Top of the arc! It's the top of the arc! Gu Yu slapped the ball to the top of the arc! Dazhi at the top of the arc received the ball, and in the last second, he made a three-point shot ......"

"Toot ——!!!"

“…… Swish! ”

"Medium !!"

“…… Wow——!!! ”

Chinese fans, the whole audience is boiling!!

"Good Ball ——!!!"

Chen Mu, Gu Yu, and Dazhi ran together, and at the same time stretched out their hands and high-fived them in the air.

Wang Zhizhi!

"It's horrible......"

On the side of the commentary stage, Su Jun was already dumbfounded, and he didn't react until this time, and couldn't help shaking his head and saying loudly: "This lineup is really terrifying!" ”

Wang Shipeng, known as China's Kobe, has accurate outside three-point points and a huge heart, and the backcourt three-point attack that once killed Slovenia can be called a classic in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Gu Yu, the NBA playoff average scoring champion, although he only played one round of games, he fought a total of seven hard battles, and faced the Thunder team who finally entered the finals, which can be described as full of color.

Zhu Fangyu, once the No. 3 position in Asia, his three-point shot is his specialty, and he is the all-time scoring champion of the CBA League.

Chen Mu, the world's No. 1 basketball player, although he is a power forward, has developed his three-point ability since the middle of his career, and can maintain a three-point shooting rate of about 37% under the defensive intensity of the NBA. Even if you don't shoot much, it's still an outside scoring point that can't be ignored.

In the end, Wang Zhizhi, a former boy chasing the wind, was originally his housekeeper with three points.

With such a Chinese team lineup, the outside projection ability is simply off the charts!

This set of hidden "super-attack lineup" has become the secret weapon of the Chinese team in the next few group games!
