After receiving Younas's order, the Chinese team's on-court five-man team began to speed up their pace. Because FIBA does not have a three-second defense rule, Yao Ming only needs to stand firm under the basket, and the other four people are like mad dogs desperately rushing up to bite the Spanish players, not afraid of a series of symptoms such as calf cramps caused by excessive physical exertion.

The sudden shift in the Chinese team's defense has put a lot of pressure on the Spanish players, who have not encountered such defensive intensity in their previous games, and in their opinion, this kind of high-intensity pressing defense should only be played by the United States, but now the Chinese men's basketball team has shown them what it means to be called a "mad dog". With the quality of the Spanish perimeter players, of course, they did not make frequent mistakes, but they still felt the suffocating pressure, and the usual fancy moves seemed to have lost their effect.

While Navarro is still able to score with his strong individual ability, their tactical system has also stumbled, which is what Younas wants to see. Prolonged physical contact will inevitably lead to a large loss of physical strength, and physical fitness is specially strengthened by Chang Wei for the players of the Chinese men's basketball team before the Olympics, so such a mad dog defense is difficult for them.

Of course, such a defensive strategy is tantamount to killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, but firstly, Yao Ming, the core leader, did not consume as much on the defensive end as imagined, and secondly, there were many people on the bench who could be replaced. In addition to increasing their physical limit, Chang Wei also improved their recovery ability, so it was good to rest for a while.

This brought forward the timing of Younas' substitutions, and just after six minutes of the first quarter, he took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to call a timeout and replace four other players except Yao Ming. They were replaced by Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Li Nan and Du Feng, and Younas' idea was to continue to improve his pace and then play one big and four small with Yao Ming as the core.

The selection of this lineup was not a whim for Younas, who had intended to strengthen his offense for the rest of the first quarter, while also using his faster movement to continue his pressing defense. If the starting lineup is more about achieving results on the defensive end and blinding the opponent, then now Younas intends to focus some of his energy on the offensive end.

After re-entering the court, the rhythm of the Chinese men's basketball team has been further improved on the original basis, and more importantly, their movements on defense are still very clean, just constantly applying physical contact to prevent the opponent from making comfortable movements. In fact, at first he planned to make substitutions at the end of the first quarter, and then let Pau Gasol play the first half of the second quarter with a substitute lineup, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, if he did not change at this time, the situation may not be maintained.

When Reinses came on as a substitute, Spain quickly stabilized the situation, as the core of their field was Pau Gasol. Although the starting center of this game was Gasol Jr., his brother still surpassed him a lot in terms of strength, especially in the high position, and his ball-handling attack also created a lot of offensive opportunities for Spain.

In the end, the two sides simply let Da Gasol and Yao Ming go head-to-head in the low position, which can be regarded as a chess opponent who will meet a good talent. In terms of qualifications, Pau Gasol is one year higher than Yao Ming, but the playing styles of both sides are almost the same, in his previous life, Yao Ming was trained by Van Gundy Jr. to rely on weight and footsteps to play alone under the basket, but now his style of play is almost the same as that of Pau Gasol, the only difference is that Yao Ming is tougher in the low post, and the range is more than that of Pau Gasol.

In the face of Yao Ming's strong play, Pau Gasol barely managed to keep the balance, but Yao Ming's pass to his teammates with his height advantage was something he couldn't stop. Wang Shipeng They are also very competitive and have seized the opportunity well, although it has not yet reached the point of three points like rain, but it is good to be able to play to this extent in the international arena. Every time the Chinese team scored a three-pointer, the scene resounded with deafening cheers, and then everyone stopped sitting down and began to stand and watch the game.

In the cheers of the fans, the Chinese team actually had an advantage on the field, and Pau Gasol was simply being pressed and beaten by Yao Ming. And among Spain's bench lineup, Calderón can provide him with some help, but it is not as good as the substitute lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team, especially Li Nan, whose age has not worn down his shooting touch, "Little Li Flying Knife" is not called in vain.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team unexpectedly led 26-20, although this lead is not large, but it is of great significance to the Chinese team. Maybe they could have had a slight advantage in a certain period of time in the warm-up game, but they didn't have the upper hand on the field like they did in this game, which is the first time in the world.

During the break, Younas did not praise everyone too much, and after a brief two sentences of praise, he seized the time to arrange the tactics of the second quarter of the game. This time he is still ready to continue his previous strategy of running aggressively and defending intensively, while at the same time creating open shots, which may further cement the current advantage.

However, Reinseth is not a fool, and although he is not sure what kind of tactics the Chinese team will adopt, it is almost a decision that requires little thought to come up with the strongest inside combination in the team. At the same time, Rensez also put Calderón, Navarro and Fernandez on the perimeter, and Rubio's performance was certainly remarkable, but now Spain need to close the gap first.

When the players on both sides came on the field, Chang Wei's eyes slowly narrowed, it seems that Spain is planning to start first, if you wait until the second half to send their strongest lineup, the morale of the Chinese team may have been raised to the peak, and it will be difficult to catch up or even overtake at that time, it seems that Reinseth is worthy of being a famous Spanish coach and is very decisive.

Chang Wei knows very well that the second quarter will be the first serious challenge that the Chinese men's basketball team will encounter in this game, and whether Spain can be solved basically depends on this trembling. Although carrying this period of time does not mean that this game can be won, it can be regarded as a very critical hurdle. It's like running a long distance, you will feel that you can't support it anymore at some point, but if you can really get through it, you will feel as if your physical strength is inexhaustible, and this is the current situation of the Chinese team.
