Chapter 403: The Growth of Young People

In recent years, the Turkish men's basketball team has risen rapidly, and in the last World Championships, the Turkish men's basketball team only went to the second team, but it overcame all the obstacles and won the sixth place, which gave the Turkish people a big surprise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, it also made the Turks realize that without the dominant player Oku, Turkey can still get a good result.

Since the end of the 2006 World Championships, Turkey has been preparing for the 2010 World Men's Basketball Championships. As the hosts, Turkey certainly hopes that their national team can achieve good results, at least not worse than the previous edition.

Turkey's strength in the three major balls is mainly due to the domestic sports atmosphere and first-class professional leagues, although Turkey's football league is not as good as several major leagues in Europe and the United States, but far stronger than the Asian league; In addition to the NBA, Turkey's basketball league ranking is second only to Spain and Greece, and it is stronger than many European basketball leagues, so there are many European players who play in Turkey's basketball league; The volleyball league in Turkey is a world-class league that brings together many of the world's top volleyball players.

When Turkey increased its investment in pulling the ball for the World Championships, it also achieved excellent results, and Turkey also had a group of very good basketball players, several of whom were thriving in the NBA.

In order to prepare for the World Championships, Turkey and the famous coach Bogdan Tanjevic renewed his contract. Bogdan Tanjevic is a Bosnian and one of Europe's top basketball coaches, having coached the Italian national team and led the team to European club championships on several occasions. At the World Championships in Japan four years ago, it was Bogdan Tanjevic who led the Turkish team to sixth place.

The current Turkish team also has a number of players who play in the NBA, such as their core player on the front line, Tekglu, who is undoubtedly the main scoring point of the Turkish team; Ilyasova, who has just returned to the NBA, and appeared alongside Turkeglu on the Turkish front line, which is enough to cause problems for any team.

Appearing at the center of the Turkish team is Asik, who is familiar to Rockets fans, and he can provide the most solid barrier for the Turkish team's basket. In addition, Semi Elden, the center selected by the Celtics, will take on the role of backup center and can share the pressure on Asik. Asik and Eldon, one as a starter and the other as a substitute, have given Turkey world-class strength in the central striker position.

At the same time, Turkey also has two players that cannot be ignored, one is the guard Onan, although he does not have a strong body, but he still plays steadily, shoots accurately, especially the three-point shooting rate is very high, it can be said that he plays the role of Wang Shipeng in China, but in terms of personal ability, Ao Nan is better than Wang Shipeng, and the stability is also higher.

The other is named Tuncheri, the core point guard of the Turkish team, and the number one point guard in Turkey, who has the nickname "Devil" and has won the assist king of the Turkish domestic league. When he was younger, Toncheri penetrated very imaginatively, quite like Nash, and now although he is older, his passing does not have the spirituality of his youth, but he is more experienced and more stable. It can be said that it is because of his presence that other players in Turkey can play at their respective levels.

In this World Championships, Turkey qualified first in the group. As hosts, they were drawn in Group C, which also included Greece, Russia and Australia, but they advanced to the knockout rounds with a winning record, and even the mighty Greece lost to Turkey.

In the first round of the knockout round, Turkey defeated the French team by nearly 20 points 95-77.

You must know that this year's French team is not weak, although the first brother of the French team, Parker, did not participate in the World Championships, but the French team still has Batum, Dior, Petrus, three NBA players and De Colo, a future NBA player, and the strength is also top in Europe. In the game, France fell behind at full-time, and Turkey established a 15-point lead in the first half. A 10-0 attack at the start of the second half brought Turkey's lead to 25 points, which also extinguished France's hopes of victory.

In the Oku era, the Turkish team was known for being good at playing tailwind, as long as it was smooth, even the American team was not intimidated, and if it didn't go well, it was often bullied by the weak team. Today's Turkish team is stronger and more powerful, not to mention that this is still Turkey's home stadium, even if the United States team faces Turkey, it needs to be cautious.

The Chinese team knows that Turkey's home stadium is not easy to play, maybe the Turkish team is not the strongest opponent, but this game must be the most difficult game, because the Turkish team fighting at home will definitely fight with the Chinese team to the end, and will not give up even at the last second.

……

Istanbul's stadium was packed, and because it was the host's match, the seats were already filled with Turkish fans, cheering and cheering.

The veterans of the national team don't care about this, they have all seen big scenes, their psychological quality is good enough, and they can be relatively calm in the face of the devil away. Zhang Guan's game experience is incomparably rich, and the tension and excitement that the 100-meter dash can bring is much greater than that of basketball, so in the face of crazy Turkish fans, Zhang Guan's mentality is still very peaceful.

On the contrary, the young athletes of the national team seemed a little anxious, they obviously did not adapt to this kind of home atmosphere, and showed a sense of nervousness in their speech and behavior and behavior.

The more team sports there are, the more they are affected by home and away games, such as today, a frenzied tsunami of Turkish spectators cheered up the 12 Turkish players on the scene, and at the same time weakened the morale of the 12 Chinese players. The impact of this home field instantly offset the effect of Deng Huade's "chicken blood".

Seeing the expressions of several young players, Zhang Guan sighed helplessly, he knew that he couldn't count on these young men in today's game.

In Zhang Guan's memory, in this World Championships, the Chinese team was originally in a group with Turkey. In the group stage, China lost 8 points against Greece, 9 points against Russia, and 8 points against Puerto Rico, but in terms of point difference, China, which has a majority of young people, is still remarkable. But against Turkey, they lost by 47 points, and China did not even get half of Turkey's points. This is obviously not a reflection of the normal strength of the two sides, and the more reasonable explanation is that in the face of Turkey's home atmosphere, Chinese athletes generally played abnormally.

Young people need to learn, and learning always has to pay tuition, now China is paying tuition, for every young player, this is a necessary way, only slowly to accumulate game experience, slowly to adapt.

Fortunately, the five players who started the Chinese team are all veterans, and their presence gives the young players more buffer time to adapt to the game and adapt to this home atmosphere.

"Young people are still not growing up fast enough!" Zhang Guan let out a long sigh. He knows that the best way to help these youngsters grow up is to get ahead as much as possible, to make those young players realise that the opponent's home stadium is nothing more than that, and that they can still lead at the opponent's home stadium, and when they are no longer nervous, even if they have initially crossed the threshold.

At the beginning of the game, Turkey took the lead, Turkglu completed the first attack, he felt very good, and came up to score a three-pointer, which made a good start for the Turkish team.

Not to be outdone, the Chinese team attacked the first time by Da Yao, a best hook hand, and threw the ball into the basket steadily.

In the face of Turkey, Da Yao, who did not play much in the first few games, once again carried the banner of attack, and the national team suddenly returned to the era of "Yao core" two years ago, and several veterans on the field were even more handy. After all, this is the style of play they have been playing for ten years, and it is also the style they are most familiar with.

The center of the Turkish team, Asik, obviously can't stop Da Yao's attack, even if Da Yao has not recovered to his peak state, and Asik can not deal with it alone at both offensive and defensive ends.

Asik, a seven-foot-tall man, has average athletic talent, but his height and strength are good enough for average blue-collar jobs, his excellent reach makes him better at protecting rebounds, and his aggressive movement and good pick-and-roll ability are also big factors in his ability to establish himself in the NBA. Of course, Asik has not yet entered the NBA, and his ability is still at the level of the Turkish league.

As a defensive interior lineman, Asik has both size, mobility and awareness, but these advantages are not advantages at all in the face of Da Yao's attack, and Asik, who is relatively average in athleticism, cannot prevent Da Yao's attack.

And when it came to the Turkish team's attack, Asik was even more of a useless existence.

Asik is the kind of player who can only score under the basket, and his best way to score is to block and break through to the basket with the ball and then complete the dunk. He has no projection ability at all, and even the free throws are at the level of the five scumbags, and he can't play singles with his back, which reflects the roughness of his skills.

So Asik's offense can basically be ignored, if he encounters other teams, Asik can also use his block to get a few points under the basket, but in the face of Da Yao, the block is useless, and Asik, who can only rely on dunks to score, is very difficult to get a point. Against a person who can't shoot, you don't have to chase it out when you defend, you just need to guard the basket, and he can't shoot it anyway if you let Asik shoot.

Today's Asik is destined to be only a blue-collar player who fights for rebounds, and Turkey's offense does not rely on Asik, Turkoglu and Ilyasova are their main scoring points.

……

Da Yao faced Asik, and three consecutive attacks were successful, and Asik was obviously a little overwhelmed in the face of Da Yao. However, China did not take the lead, and Turkglou was also very good, making two three-pointers in his first three attacks, and also scoring the first six points of the Turkish team.

This stalemate lasted until the 10-10 draw, when Turkey coach Bogdan took the lead in substitutions, believing that Asik was the most useless man on the field, he could not defend against Da Yao at the defensive end, and he did nothing in the offensive section, so he replaced Asik and replaced him with substitute center Eldon.

Eldon will also land in the NBA next season, his defense is not as good as Asik, but he can shoot, and the shooting touch is still very soft, Coach Bogdan feels that it is better to replace a player who can score and increase the output of firepower.

At the same time, Zhang Guan also began to put pressure on the "No. 1 point guard in Turkey" Toncheri.

Under pressure from Zhang Guan's all-out efforts, Toncheri made two mistakes in a row, one for a tackle and the other for dribbling the ball to the touchline.

In desperation, Toncheri had no choice but to leave the task of organizing the attack to Tekglu.

Turkglu is the heart of the Turkish team, having represented the Turkish national team since 1999, but was once known as the "cancer" of the Turkish team, because he had a lot of opportunities in the Turkish team, but the shooting percentage was not satisfactory. Especially in Oku's era, Tekoglu took up too many Oku's shots, but he couldn't reach Oku's shooting rate, coupled with the average level of defense, so Tekoglu became an inefficient data brush, and he was even kicked out of the Turkish national team at one point.

However, in the last two seasons of the Magic, Turkoglu played at the highest level of his career, averaging 19.5 points per game to get him re-drafted by the Turkish team, and his 40% three-point shooting rate made him the new leader of the Turkish team. In the first round of the knockout round against the French team, Turkoglu faced the "French Pippen" Batum and also handed over 20 points, 4 rebounds and three assists.

Tekglu has to take on the task of organizing the attack, which shares some of his energy, and at the other end, Da Yao is still wreaking havoc on the inside of the Turkish team, and today he is in very good form and his hand is also hot. So near the end of the first quarter, China led by two points at 21-19, with Da Yao alone contributing 13 points.

This score calmed the nervousness of the young players of the Chinese team a lot, they felt that although the Turkish home fans were very jubilant, the Turkish men's basketball team was not a terrible existence, at least in the starting duel, the Chinese team also took the lead, and Da Yao even single-handedly overturned the two centers in Turkey, which boosted the morale of the young players.

When the young players on the bench of the Chinese team came on the field, they did not seem panicked, although they still did not play the level of "playing chicken blood", but it was also a normal performance, and it was a good thing for young players to be able to play normally in this atmosphere.

Sitting on the bench, Zhang Guan looked at the energetic young players on the field, and involuntarily sighed: "Young people have grown up!" ”

"That's right, they are the hope for the future of the national team!" Da Yao even showed a relieved smile.

Basketball is like that, and there's nothing like playing at a high level to get a player to grow, especially for young people. Watching the water cooler in the NBA also gains more and grows faster than playing as a starter in the CBA.

These young people of the national team are still very far away from the NBA, and it can even be said that it is difficult to touch the threshold of the NBA for a lifetime, so the World Championships has become the most important event they can participate in.

After five group games and one knockout round, they have played against many teams, especially the victory over Slovenia, so that the young players have gained too much experience, before the World Championships they may only be regarded as the level of the CBA league, but now, after the baptism of the game, they have the ability to stand on the international stage, and they are playing more and more easily.

The five starters of the Chinese team are all resting off the field, and there are five substitute players on the field, and the vitality they show is not possessed by the starters, although the young players will still have some unreasonable mistakes, but China is not falling behind on the field, the score is still tightly bitten, and the score difference between China and the Turkish team has not been opened.

In the first half, the two sides played to a 41-all draw, which was a very disappointing score for the home fans. Turkey has played too smoothly along the way, and the games against Greece and France are devastating, which makes Turkish fans feel that they should win easily in the face of China.

The head coach of the Turkish team, Bogdan, was also a little unable to sit still at this time. (To be continued.) )
