Chapter 119: The Wolf and the Tiger (7)
After the game entered the fourth quarter, the players on both sides were actually more of a contest of physical fitness and will to fight in addition to competing skills.
For more than 40 minutes in a game, players need to keep running back and forth on the court, and every offensive and defensive transition is a short-distance sprint, coupled with the fact that basketball players are much heavier than ordinary people, it can be said that in the last quarter of the game, many core players are relying on tenacious will to persevere.
Wang Lei from the beginning of the formation of the team attaches great importance to the training of players' physical fitness, which is based on his own experience, in the player's career, Wang Lei himself has a deep feeling for physical fitness problems, although the basketball of the republic is not bad, but it has never been able to squeeze into the world's top three, the national team often faces strong opponents in the third or fourth quarter of the game, the main reason is physical fitness in Wang Lei's view.
There is also the experience of Wang Lei in the earth's space-time, although Wang Lei in the earth's space-time is just an out-and-out dick otaku, but he still loves basketball, and the development of basketball in the earth's space-time is not even as good as the current time and space, and he can't even get into the top eight. Since Da Yao retired, the three major centers have also aged one after another, and the development of basketball in the entire republic has entered a situation of lack of success.
Although the heroes don't mention the courage of the year, but thinking back to the past, China's basketball industry still had very brilliant achievements. Many people now praise the stunts of various stars on the other side of the ocean, and the bold and unrestrained tactics of various teams, but who knows that the most basic turning and jumper action in modern basketball technical movements is actually invented by Qian Chenghai, the first generation of legendary star in China, and the "run and bomb" tactics that are now being talked about are actually the first to lay the foundation when Qian Chenghai was a coach.
In 1956, China and the former Soviet Union, which had just won the runner-up in the world men's basketball team, played two friendly matches, when the average height of the team was only one meter eight, the Chinese team faced an average height of two meters, and the former Soviet Union of the world's tallest player Clooney at that time, as a player, Qian Chenghai relied on a turnaround jumper to score 30 points alone, defeating the powerful former Soviet Union 67-62.
After retiring, Qian Chenghai began to coach the national team, in response to the situation at that time, Qian Chenghai did not stick to fixed tactics, and created a "small, fast, smart" style for the national team, which can be said to be the earliest "run and bomb" tactics, and some irony is that many European and American teams now limit the Chinese team's full-court pressing tactics are also the earliest popularized by Qian Lao. (Interested friends can Baidu Qian Chenghai, it is indeed a very powerful person, and the vision is very long-term, as early as the early nineties, Qian Lao said that if you don't pay attention to grassroots training, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the future, he even said when the three centers are strong, don't only pay attention to cultivating big men, and in another ten years, there will be no good little ones, tired of these big men, it can be said that it is really a prophecy)
At that time, the Chinese national team was even so strong that FIBA modified the rules for them, and at least two players must have touched this rule before shooting an attack, which was formulated for the Chinese team's "chasing ass tactics" at that time.
Wang Lei's style for the frontier youth team is actually learning from Qian Lao, his players do not have particularly strong physical fitness and conditions, can only rely on the current situation to cultivate, if according to the current popular style of play to cultivate, this team will definitely not be able to play the current results, not even a player in the team will not play, even a genius like Turgun, it is likely to be abolished.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the youth team of Guangdong Province launched a strong onslaught, they fell behind in the score, so they had to continue to strengthen the attack, and Li Baofeng repeatedly asked the players to play more aggressively.
In the face of the opponent's onslaught, the frontier youth team did have some difficulty at the beginning, Hawul consumed a lot in this game, and now he has four personal fouls on his back, so at this point he must even be careful and careful in defensive actions, and if he is not careful, he may be sent off, without him, the team's rebounding will have a big problem, even Cai Aihong can grab it, but after all, his confrontation ability is too poor.
In less than four minutes of the fourth quarter, the youth team of Guangdong Province tied the score and overtook it by three points.
At the critical moment, Sun Dexun, who had not performed very well before, stepped forward, and he took advantage of Turgun to be sandwiched, and Cai Aihong repeatedly hit the basket when he opened up space, causing two consecutive fouls on the opponent's core inside Hong Kai, so that Hong Kai also had four fouls.
In the last five minutes of the game, the scores of the two sides alternated leads, and the spectators on the sidelines were glad that they had come to watch the game, and the parents and relatives who came here to cheer for their children were also infected by the atmosphere of the game at this time.
The game entered the final moment, the biggest advantage of the frontier youth team began to be reflected, they showed a better state than the Guangdong Province youth team, physical strength is guaranteed, and the state is naturally better than the Guangdong East Province youth team with a lot of physical decline.
Li Baofeng's team is indeed an excellent team brought from North America, and their training of players is very scientific, but unfortunately they are also limited to the current circle and cannot jump out to re-examine basketball, so although Li Baofeng used very bold offensive tactics in this game, he also ignored the flaws of individual players.
The youth team of Frontier Province still maintained a good shooting rate in the final three minutes, while the youth team of Guangdong Province finally couldn't stand it after a whole game against their opponents, the movement speed of the players decreased, the breakthrough efficiency also began to decline, and the shooting rate also began to drop significantly.
In the last two minutes of the game, Turgun once again stared at Zhao Yongji's defense and hit three points, and he could still maintain such a good hand at this time, and Turgon's excellent ball sense was visible.
Turgon's three points brought the difference between the two reversals to six points, and Li Baofeng called a final timeout, but in fact, he also knew that this timeout might not have the effect it should have.
After the pause, the youth team of Guangdong Province did not attack, but on the contrary, the youth team of Frontier Province seized the opportunity to fight back, and the score difference was stretched to eight points, and the game completely lost its suspense.
In the end, relying on Turgon's 33 points and Cai Aihong's 19 points, as well as Wang Zhaohui's 13 points and Sun Dexun's 12 points, the four-player Frontier Youth Team defeated the strongest opponent in the group stage, the Guangdong Provincial Youth Team, by seven points.
