No team in the world wants to face the United States in the first round of the knockout round, and even a weak team like Angola will be eliminated if they meet anyone, but they are still unwilling to face the United States directly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Olympics, the Chinese team has beaten Angola, but it was at home. As the strongest team in Africa, Angola still has some examples, at least in the latest world rankings, Angola is ranked 12th, higher than Brazil, Croatia, Turkey, and Russia.

Of course, this world ranking is a combination of the results of many continents and competitions, Angola has no opponents in Africa, and the ranking will naturally be higher, such as the Chinese team, due to its excellent performance in Asian competitions, the world ranking can enter the tenth place. So this kind of ranking obviously can't intuitively reflect the strength of the team

Angola reversed Germany and sealed the right to qualify from the group, and morale was high. The physical talent of black people in basketball also made Angola very active at the beginning of the game. Lutanga and Gomez each hit three-pointers to give Angola a 6-2 lead to the opening game. Next, the Angolan team's three-point shooting was also very accurate, especially their number one star Gomez, who hit four three-pointers in the first quarter, and he felt hot.

The Angolan team has no advantage in height, mainly relying on the projection of a small lineup and playing small ball tactics, which is a little unable to keep up with the rhythm for Da Yao, who has not yet healed from his injury, and the switchback run caused by the rapid offensive and defensive conversion has caused a great burden on Da Yao's body, so Deng Huade quickly replaced Da Yao with Zhang Zhaoxu, who is younger and faster.

After the start of the second quarter, Angola continued to continue to feel, Lu Tangda scored six points in a row, once expanding the score gap to 10 points, and waited until Zhang Guan came on the court, only to use several breakthroughs to make fouls, disrupting the rhythm of the Angolan team, and also curbing the offensive of the Angolan team.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team approached the score, and at the last moment, Zhang Guan's breakthrough allowed the Chinese team to enter the second half with a 45-44 lead.

Deng Huade was a little dissatisfied with the team's defense, he began to give the young players a "big fight" at halftime, I have to say that this move is very effective, under the encouragement of Deng Huade, the defense of the Chinese team in the second half became much more active.

As for Angola, the shooting percentage began to decline. The Angolan team does not have an advantage in height, and once it can't shoot, it has no advantage in grabbing rebounds, so as long as the Angolan team doesn't score, it will be difficult to have a second chance to attack.

After three consecutive rounds of no goals, coupled with two mistakes, the Chinese team played a wave of 12-0 small climax, expanding the advantage to more than ten points in one fell swoop.

At this time, the Angolan team was like a dream and began to chase points, but the impatient shooting could not guarantee the shooting rate, and the Chinese team had entered the final quarter 66-50.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Angolan team was ready to fight to the death, but Zhang Guan's fast attack after two steals quickly stretched the score to 20 points. The 20-point difference in the fourth quarter is already a relatively safe number, the game also lost suspense at this moment, the next game, the two sides attacked and defended each other, the score increased alternately, and finally the Chinese team won the game 83-70.

With a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, the Chinese team ranks third in the group, and in the next knockout round, the Chinese team will face the second team in Group B.

The first place in Group A was won by Serbia, and the second went to Argentina, both of which were 4 wins and 1 loss, and Serbia had a win-loss relationship. Fourth place in Group A was Angola with 2 wins and 3 losses, while Germany and Jordan were eliminated.

……

In Group B, Iran and Tunisia were clearly here to accompany the prince, while the mighty United States won all but narrowly against Brazil. The five-game winning streak allowed the U.S. team to easily stand at the top of Group B, and Angola, which is about to meet in the knockout round, is the softest persimmon in the knockout stage.

Slovenia surprised second in Group B, with their top scorer Bosjan Nakba squeezing Brazil into third place with a three-pointer. Slovenia also became China's first opponent in the knockout round.

……

Deng Huade held the tactical board with a very serious expression.

"Slovenia have a strong interior line, and their starting center, Brezek, is a player with 10 years of NBA experience, and his height of 2.16 meters also gives him an advantage in the center position. Their starting power forward, Rakovic, who is 2.08 meters tall, is a power forward who was drafted by the NBA with the 60th pick in 2007. ”

When Deng Huade said this, he couldn't help but glance at the United Arab Emirates. The UAE was selected with the No. 6 pick in 2007, which is the same level as Rakovic, and both positions are power forwards, so it is clear that the responsibility for dealing with Rakovic will be handed over to the UAE.

The United Arab Emirates clenched his fists silently, he was the No. 6 rookie, if he couldn't do the No. 60 rookie in the same period, it would be really embarrassing.

Deng Walter continued: "Slovenia's starter in the small forward position is Miha Zupan, you should have heard of him, yes, the deaf one. He is physically strong, can play small forward, can also play big forward, can even play against the center, has a strong ability to grab rebounds, and has a good three-point shot. ”

Miha Zupan is a deaf player whose most striking feature is that he wears a headgear on his head, which has a hearing aid tucked inside the headgear that allows him to play like a normal player. Without hearing aids, Zupan would not have been able to hear his teammates and coaches. God closed the window of hearing for Zupan, but opened the window for him to basketball. Zupan is very strong, his skills are also very good, the ball quotient is very high, perhaps because he is deaf, Zupan is also very focused on playing, whether it is on the offensive end or on the defensive end, it is more difficult than normal players. And his ability to become an official basketball player as a disabled person is also a great inspirational story in the basketball world.

Slovenia's top scorer, Bosjan Nakba, appeared as the number two this time, and he also has an advantage in the number three position in terms of height base, and even more so in the second position. To tell you the truth, our No. 2 player can't compare to Nakba. Coach Deng Huade said this, looked at Da Yao, and continued: "Yao, your old friend is very difficult to deal with!" ”

Da Yao smiled and didn't say more.

Nakba was drafted by the Houston Rockets with the 15th pick at the end of 2002. It was also that year that the Houston Rockets used the top pick in their hands to pick Da Yao, so Nakba and Da Yao were comrades who entered the same NBA team in the same year. At that time, Da Yao, who had just entered the NBA, although he held the title of champion, still had to overcome cultural and language differences, and Nakba, who was also a rookie and an international player, became Da Yao's bosom friend, and for a long time, Nakba was Da Yao's only playmate, so the relationship between the two was very close.

Nakba's stats in the NBA aren't great, and even in his prime, he can only be considered a qualified rotation player. But the value of international players can not be calculated according to the NBA data, too many international players will be unaccustomed to the NBA, and the data is relatively average, and when they return to the international arena, they have become vigorous again, a familiar example is Spanollis, known as the "European Kobe", is a rookie in the NBA, offensive and defensive are not good, and when they reach the European League, they become kings, and all kinds of MVPs are put in their pockets.

Therefore, Nakba, a player who can't score 10 points per game in the NBA, is the top scorer and tactical core in the Slovenian team's system.

"The number one position is the only one we occupy." Deng Huade looked at Zhang Guan, and then said: "Slovenia's starting point guard Dragic does not move fast, the frequency of action is also very slow, the body is not strong enough, the lack of confrontation, the passing awareness is average, except for shooting, it is simply useless. This guy is more of a pitcher. ”

"Is Dunward really talking about Dragic?" Zhang Guan felt speechless for a while, his impression of Dragic is also a first-class guard in the NBA, and he is also a "Mr. 100 million yuan", he is active in defense, aggressive in offense, and not slow, especially very proficient in blocking and dismantling, and was even once called the "king of blocking and dismantling".

However, in 2010, Dragic was only a qualified rotation player, just establishing himself as a backup guard for the Suns.

"Listening to Deng Huade say this, the current Dragic seems to be very vegetable! I wonder if he will use blocking tactics frequently in the game? Zhang Guan thought silently.

……

Slovenia's head coach Židovic is also planning tactics.

"At the World Championships four years ago, we lost to the Chinese team and were killed at the last minute! And this time, we must not lose. Zhidovic continued: "The one four years ago was still in the group stage, and even if we lost, we still qualified; But this time it's a knockout and there's no way back, so we have to win! ”

"We're stronger than we were four years ago, but the Chinese team is also stronger than they were four years ago, and they even beat the U.S. team in the Olympics at one point! The good news is that through my observations over the past few days, I found that Yao, the center of the Chinese team, has obviously not fully recovered from surgery, and his playing time in the group stage has only accumulated 10 minutes. Zhidovic found Zhang Guan's name on the tactical board behind him, drew a circle on it, and continued: "So the most important thing we need to do is to curb Zhang Guan's play!" ”

Zhidovic said, looking at Dragic, who looked a little nervous and uneasy at this time, obviously feeling that he was unlikely to be able to restrain Zhang Guan.

Zhidovic continued: "Zhang Guan's sharpest offensive means is his breakthrough, even if it is the Dream Eight team, it is difficult to stop his breakthrough, and we may not be able to stop Zhang Guan's breakthrough, and we will even be at risk of foul play for this, so we have to prepare a set of Plan B!" ”

"Plan B?" All eyes were on it.

Zhidovich said: "We have to limit Zhang Guan's scoring as much as possible, but more importantly, we have to score ourselves!" The Chinese team is not as strong as us in the second and third positions, so we must play to our advantages and use Nakba and Zupan as our main points of attack. ”

Zhidovic turned his head to look at Dragic and continued: "Golan, pass the ball to Nakba and Zupan, it's up to you." If it's not easy to pass the ball directly, you can try to use the combination of blocking and pick-and-roll to interfere with the defensive rhythm of the Chinese team and create opportunities for us. ”

……

On the first day of the knockout round, Serbia defeated Croatia by a narrow margin of 73-72 in the first two group games, and another key battle was also played between European teams, and the Spanish team led by Gasol Jr. defeated Greece with a score of 80-72. Serbia and Spain will compete for a place in the last four.

On the second day of the knockout round, there were also four teams on the stage, namely China against Slovenia and France against the host Turkey.

At the start of the game, both China and Slovenia fielded their main players, and as expected, Slovenia's five starters were Brezek, Rakovic, Zupan, Nakba and Dragic.

Brezek and the UAE were in charge of the jump balls, with Brezek timing better and Slovenia getting the chance to take possession first.

As a former member of Yugoslavia, Slovenia also inherited the Yugoslav basketball style, and the team is good at playing tactical coordination and positional warfare. In the positional battle, the role of the center forward is irreplaceable, and both sides are teams with big centers, so at the beginning of the game, Da Yao and Brezek were entangled with Mai Mang.

Blazek's strength is naturally not as good as Da Yao, and Da Yao also likes to deal with this traditional center the most, in the NBA game, Blazek met Da Yao and was almost completely blown up. However, Da Yao's injury has not yet recovered, especially in terms of physical confrontation, which is far from the peak, so when facing Brezek, although he did not suffer, he did not take advantage.

The inside center of the two sides is equivalent to locking each other, and the tactics around the big center at this time are also equivalent to being abolished, and now players in other positions need to step up.

Nakba, Slovenia's leading scorer, stepped up decisively at this point, and he struggled to run out of space and motioned for Dragic to pass the ball to him.

Nakba ran out of position, but Dragic's pass went wrong and he just threw the ball but was stopped by a hand from next to him.

"Zhang Guan, steal!" As soon as the commentator finished saying this, Zhang Guan had already rushed to the half of the Slovenian team with the ball.

"Zhang Guanxia is about to attack!" The Slovenian players realized this, but they couldn't stop Zhang Guan from rushing to their basket and scoring a layup. (To be continued.) )
