Chapter 443: Making History

In the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, they began to participate in the Olympic Games in 1984, and this year is the eighth time they have appeared on the Olympic stage. Before that www.biquge.info China had broken into the top eight of the Olympic men's basketball team three times, namely the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but unfortunately, they were eliminated directly after entering the quarterfinals, and finally could only rank eighth, which means that if Ye Feng can beat France, it will create new history.

But is France so easy to deal with? Although Michael Petrus did not participate in the Olympics, there are still five active NBA players in the French team, including Parker, Dio, Seraphim, Turiaf and Ye Feng's old teammate Batum, and others like De Colo are also young and excellent players.

Therefore, Deng Huade specially held an intra-team meeting with everyone to participate in, hoping that everyone would brainstorm and see if they could find a way to beat France. At the meeting, everyone raised a lot of opinions, but they were all vetoed, and suddenly Deng Huade's eyes fell on Ye Feng who was sitting in the corner. Deng Huade simply named him directly, wanting to see what Ye Feng thought.

Ye Feng pondered slightly, and said: "As far as I know, Parker has just had eye surgery, so there is still some impact on him, and several players on the inside are not fast, I think we can play a quick transition offense, and at the same time let the faster point guard limit Parker." ”

Deng Huade's eyes lit up, he didn't think of this aspect, if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case, among several NBA-level interior players in France, Dio has become a flexible dead fat man, Turyaf and Seraphim are not known for their movement speed, and they can indeed send a small lineup to rush. This is also the advantage of Deng Huade, he is not a traditional Chinese coach, he has an incomprehensible obsession with the big center, and he is not at all averse to small lineups.

So the starters of the quarterfinals are logical, point guard Chen Jianghua, point guard Wang Shipeng, small forward Zhu Fangyu, big forward Ye Feng, and center Yi Jianlian. In fact, for them, the sense of position is very vague, except for Yi Jianlian is the only inside, everyone else can change positions in various ways, which is very suitable for small-ball tactics. Putting Chen Jianghua, the fastest player on the team, in the point guard position is indeed a clever move by Deng Ward, and it is best to use a speed point guard to deal with Parker.

When it came time to officially start the game, Chen Jianghua really achieved the expected goal, he did not score in any way except for a fast-break layup and an open three-pointer, but focused all his energy on the defensive end. His speed did make Parker feel speechless, he had just undergone eye surgery, his court vision was affected to a certain extent, and there were three turnovers in the first quarter under Chen Jianghua's close pressing, which is very rare for him.

Ye Feng also used speed to blow up his chief substitute Batum in the Trail Blazers, and now the Chinese team's lineup has become a complete big and four small, and Yi Jianlian can also shoot in the high position, which makes Turiaf feel helpless under the basket. Especially at the beginning, the Chinese team played a high offensive efficiency, and Turyaf couldn't even grab many rebounds under the basket, and Yi Jianlian's occasional singles that fell to the low post also made it difficult for him to deal with.

Several commentators in China also began to get excited, you must know that the Chinese men's basketball team basically started from Wang Zhizhi and Battle to form the so-called "tradition" of being keen on the big center, in fact, before China's tactical characteristics were small, fast and smart, and the active interspersed running and accurate shooting are the capital of the Chinese team based on the world basketball world, and now they seem to see the Chinese men's basketball team that attacked quickly and decisively.

This game also made many Chinese fans stay up late to watch the game, cheering for the Chinese men's basketball team in front of the computer and in front of the TV. In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team unexpectedly defeated France 72-67 and reached the semifinals of the Olympic Games for the first time in history, while their opponents were eliminated by Lithuania's Russia.

This is already an old friend of the Chinese team, and compared to the less familiar Lithuania, Russia, who is in the same group in the group stage, is a better opponent and is more familiar. The Russians have their cards in plain sight, and their coach can't make any moves.

But Deng Huade was also very cautious, and organized a very formal training session before the official start of the semi-finals, and made full preparations for Russia. But in fact, Deng Huade is still a little relaxed, after all, Russia's strongest point Kirilenko can't get any benefits in front of Ye Feng, the only thing to worry about is Shevid, as Russia's No. 2 star, if he suddenly breaks out of the small universe, the Chinese team may not be able to beat Russia.

In fact, Kirilenko is also very aggrieved, he thought that this Olympics could lead Russia to a breakthrough, but first lost to China in the group stage, and still couldn't escape in the semifinals. This time he was ready to do his best, and if he couldn't defeat Ye Feng in this way, he would have nothing to say.

Sure enough, in this game, Ye Feng encountered unprecedented trouble, compared to the sluggishness of the group stage, Kirilenko seemed to be a different person, and he was entangled with Ye Feng at the beginning, and even forced him to score no points in the first quarter and only sent 2 assists, and China also fell behind by 18-30 by 12 points.

However, Ye Feng quickly changed his strategy and summoned Yi Jianlian to pull to the high post to block and dismantle, whether it was down or popping up to shoot, Russia's starting center Cowan was helpless, because he was a traditional standing center. In this way, Ye Feng and Yi Jianlian can attract at least three Russian players to defend, and when they pass the ball out at this time, the Chinese team's offense will be opened.

By the end of halftime, the Chinese team had narrowed the gap to 4 points. At the beginning of the second half, Zhu Fangyu threw two unguarded three-pointers in a row, overtaking the score in one fell swoop. However, Russia still played resiliently, and even then did not give up, and the two sides were entangled until the fourth quarter. At this time, Ye Feng finally adapted to Kirilenko's defense, and scored 12 points in 1 minute and 24 seconds, instantly helping China pull the score away and maintain the advantage until the end of the game. It seems that the red Chinese whirlwind has not yet come to an end......
