Chapter 128: The Battle of Argentina
At the beginning of the game, Li Zhi started the game, looking at the lineup on the Argentine court, Li Zhi was curious about who they were playing point guard.
However, Li Zhi still serves as the responsibility of the point control organization in Younas's tactics today, and he can be regarded as a point guard, and the other four are Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, and Sun Yue.
Sun Yue has no problem with this, with Li Zhi holding the ball to cover to attract the defense, he will get more opportunities to cut in the air.
Argentina's 2.08m center Oberto failed to jump over Yao Ming, and the ball fell to Li Zhi at the beginning.
Before the game, the Argentine coach emphasized that in the treatment of the Chinese team, the defense must be targeted, and it is naturally Li Zhi and Yao Ming who are targeted.
So the moment Li Zhi got the ball, Manuginobili posted it.
In addition to the initial stunned, Li Zhi seriously dribbled to organize the attack.
This is the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, the worst win is also the runner-up, and the best result of the losing side is only the top three, and there is absolutely no second chance to turn over, so the Chinese team has not relaxed either. From the moment the whistle blew, the physical confrontation between the two sides began.
Li Zhi didn't expect Ginobili to defend himself, and it seemed that he had studied himself in a targeted manner. Li Zhi was still dribbling, and Ginobili was already stuck in front of Li Zhi, and there was a little movement on his legs, which made Li Zhi make a mistake in an instant and lost the ball in his hand.
Li Zhi pounced on the ball in the end, and the rest of the Chinese team wanted to come to support, but they were stopped by the Argentines one by one. Delfino has been pulling Sun Yue's jersey, while Nocioni has been brawling into Zhu Fangyu's arms, and Scola and Yi Jianlian are also scrambling for positions. Yao Ming has outstanding consciousness and came to help Li Zhi for the first time, and during this time, Yao Ming has developed a tacit understanding with Li Zhi.
"Mine!" Li Zhi didn't know where the strength came from, so he pushed Ginobili away and held the ball in his hand, but at this time, because of the fierce confrontation in the whole field, the referee did not blow Li Zhi.
Li Zhi took the ball and rushed to Argentina's frame, because of the confrontation, the basket was empty at this time.
"Buckled!"
There was a sense of war intent in his head, Li Zhi sped up, came to the basket like lightning, and split the dunk with one hand.
And Ginobili and Delfino, who were chasing after the rear, not only gasped when they saw Li Zhi's speed so fast.
Ginobili had fought against Li Zhi, although he only chatted about the alignment a few times, but he still knew Li Zhi's speed, so he just sighed at Argentina's bad luck at this time.
Delfino, on the other hand, was really shocked by Richie, there has never been a player of this speed on the international stage, and the owner of this speed is still a small forward rather than a guard.
With a loud bang, the game started 2:0 and opened for 7 seconds.
The fans at the scene were boiling, no one expected such a wonderful goal as soon as the game came up, and it seemed that Li Zhi had shocked the main South Americans.
Back to the defensive end, with Li Zhi and Yao Ming's internal and external cores, the Chinese team's defense is solid. Nocioni, who was in possession of the ball in Spain, found that his dribbling center of gravity had lost his balance under the interference of Rich, and had to give the ball to Delfino.
Next, Delfino once again challenged China's outside defense, Zhu Fangyu followed Delfino inch by inch, no matter how Delfino changed direction, anyway, as long as he was ready to break through, Zhu Fangyu would take a step back.
What's even more odious is that Li Zhi jumped over from time to time to stretch out his hand to interfere, which made Delfino very irritable.
Zhu Fangyu watched Delfino's face become more and more ugly, and admired Li Zhi even more in his heart, Li Zhi's defensive strategy before the game really worked.
Seeing that the opponent was deflated, Zhu Fangyu was careless at this moment, Delfino immediately slipped away from him.
But Delfino passed Zhu Fangyu, and Yao Ming on the inside immediately appeared on his breakthrough route. The 2.3-meter-tall giant is the object that any defender wants to conquer, and Delfino is no exception, facing Yao Ming's defense, he has a kind of pride in his heart.
And the referee's whistle blew at this moment.
"Offensive foul!"
Delfino felt a wave of annoyance in his chest when he heard the referee's words, and then looked at the replay, Yao Ming's position was just right, and at the first time when Delfino accelerated forward, Yao Ming's height of two meters and three fell straight down.
Delfino kept complaining, and Yao Ming stood up and moved, a hint of cunning in his eyes. This time the defender challenged the center, and the center won completely.
Argentina was caught off guard by China, with a dunk and an offensive foul in the opening game, and even the more high-quality American team could not be calm.
And Argentina's counterattack was also sharp, and then Sun Yue missed three points, and the ball returned to Ginobili again.
However, Ginobili was not yet in a position, and he wanted to see how his teammates were feeling, so he handed the ball to Delfino again.
Delfino shook the ball twice in the air, Zhu Fangyu was not fooled much, because too many people like to make such a feint before breaking through, but Zhu Fangyu was dumbfounded the next moment, because Delfino really shot like this.
Maybe it was because of the bad feeling, Delfino didn't shoot, but this goal reminded the Chinese team.
Yao Ming picked up on his toes and wanted to win the rebound, but he didn't want to kill Nocioni halfway.
Nocioni took advantage of the inertia of the sprint to win the rebound in front of the taller Yao Ming.
Nocioni didn't stick to the ball, took off the rebound and passed it to Scola, Yi Jianlian obviously didn't expect Yao Ming to fail to grab the rebound, there was no card at all, which allowed Scola to get an easy shooting opportunity.
2:2
Yao Ming looked down at Nocioni, obviously not expecting this little man to be able to win a rebound in front of him.
And Li Zhi also thought of the words on the pre-game information at this time, Nocioni has an unimaginable fanaticism for rebounding, I thought this was a description of Nocioni's enthusiasm for playing, but I didn't expect this guy to really have a unique sense of smell for rebounding.
Li Zhi said a few words behind Yao Ming, asking him to pay attention to Nocioni, and Yao Ming nodded.
Rebounding is a good thing, and there is a saying on the basketball court that "those who get rebounds get the game", and rebounds don't have to be big to grab. Some guards also have their own understanding of rebounding.
Li Zhi was distracted for a moment, thinking that he would also train and practice rebounding skills in the future.
Li Zhi dribbled and stood outside the three-point line, raised his hand to pass the ball to Yao Ming, and led Oberto, who was inside, to take two steps outside and go around in front of Yao Ming.
Watching his movements, Li Zhi took the ball back again.
The organization is not good, as the brain of the team, Li Zhi must make a good judgment on the situation on the field, when to pass the ball, which is the most basic. And he also has to judge the next move according to the opponent's reaction, so to speak, from the beginning of the game, Li Zhi's brain is like a sophisticated computer calculating in an orderly manner.
Li Zhi can feel that this is not the improvement brought by the system, but the talent that Li Zhi himself has.
The other players of the Chinese team ran for a long time and had no chance, so Li Zhi had to take action by himself. These days' mid-range shooting has not been practiced in vain, after breaking through Delfino, Li Zhi directly shot, although his hit-off jump shot is not very good, but the ball is still favored by God, the basketball fell into the basket after a few smashes on the basket.
4:2
After the Argentine team attacked, Ginobili still had no desire to attack, and gave the ball to Delfino again, and Delfino faced Zhu Fangyu's defense, and pulled out directly from the outside line and scored three points.
4:5
