The game is finally back to its normal rhythm. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Geng Xiangzhi, who was sitting on the sidelines, did not move his lower butt from beginning to end, did not give any instructions to Li Zheng, and did not yell at Sima Shenji and Li Changgeng to calm them down. Always a leisurely and comfortable expression, sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

Obviously, all this was expected by him, and the situation was never out of his control.

Time, in the fifth minute of the first quarter, the score was 18:8, and the game returned to its normal rhythm. In the sixth minute of the first quarter, the score was 14:10, and Argentina controlled the basketball to organize the offense. Argentina is located in South America, but their basketball is European. Solid fundamentals, consistent shooting, and crazy outside three-pointers, all of which are the basic elements of European basketball, are very evident in the Argentine team. But they still have their own distinctive characteristics with European teams, that is, they are very fast in attack.

The other team on the field, the youth team, is also known for their fast-paced attack in this World Youth Championship, and when these two teams meet, the pace of the game can be imagined. Therefore, as far as this game is concerned, the so-called normal rhythm is not an unhurried positional attack and defense. Once the tempo was re-controlled, the pace of the game began to pick up again.

Argentina's offense is typical of mobile attacking tactics, with a dizzying array of off-ball runs and every player on the pitch is an attacking player. With a playmaking guard and four players all with some possession, the mobile offense is as effective as the NBA's biggest triangle offense – the highest 110 points average of any team at the World Youth Championships.

The youth team is not a team that is good at defense, and even Geng Xiangzhi has no good way to face Argentina's attack. After weighing the pros and cons, Geng Xiangzhi chose a more energy-saving regional joint defense. This is also one of the best defensive tactics mastered by Chinese basketball.

What do you do with the energy you save? Naturally, it is to go on the offensive.

In the joint defense, Geng Xiangzhi deployed four defenders on the inside, which was to counter the rebounding advantage of the Argentine team. "Fifteen frontcourt rebounds per game" is definitely a staggering statistic. Rebounding is the guarantee of offense, and one more rebound is one more opportunity to attack, which is crucial for the youth team that wants to fight with the opponent to attack.

In a zoned defense, four players are responsible for the joint defense, and the remaining one player is responsible for marking people on the line. The young team is responsible for marking people is Li Changgeng.

Like Geng Xiangzhi's offensive tactics, Argentina's offense also has a tactical core player. That's their playmaker LeBron Padget.

HEIGHT 201CM, WEIGHING 100 KILOGRAMS, EXTREMELY FAST, EXCELLENT JUMPING, PADGETT CAN SCORE, REBOUND AND ASSIST ANYTHING. He is averaging 18.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 10.4 assists, 2.09 steals and 0.31 blocks per game while shooting 45.2% from the field, 32.5% from three-point range and 88% from the free throw line. This is an All-Star statistic even in the NBA. Any team that wants to defend such a player will definitely take the trap. When Geng Xiangzhi sent Li Changgeng to defend him alone, he didn't expect to be able to completely defend him by relying on Li Changgeng.

But Li Changgeng didn't know this, he had been trying to defend, and he had been annoyed, because he hadn't really defended the opponent once in the game so far.

After the two rapid dribbling sounds, this time the opposing offense and defense once again showed results: the basketball once again flew from Li Changgeng's side into the inner line, Argentina's inside center received the ball and leaned on Song Liu Ming's singles, and turned around under the basket to hook his hand, "Bang, smack!" "Hit the board and go to the basket.

"Damn!" Li Changgeng's face was full of annoyance.

"Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded, and the youth team made substitutions, Li Changgeng went down, and Deng Yu went up.

Sitting on the bench with his head drooping back to the sidelines, Li Changgeng seemed to have returned from a fiasco. God knows how good he is in the eyes of others. The TV commentator's commentary at this time was: "Head coach Geng Xiangzhi replaced Li Changgeng, who has been performing well, at this time, in order to save his physical strength." After all, our sixteen-year-old ace has not yet played the full physical strength. ”

The game on the pitch continues. After Li Changgeng was replaced, the youth team was attacked by Li Zheng, and Sima Shenji interspersed the inside and outside lines. The team's fast off-ball movement and quick passing allowed the youth team to play a fast and fluid offense for the rest of the first quarter after Li Changgeng left the court.

It's just that the middle youth team still hasn't improved much defensively. Deng Yu, who came on as a substitute for Lee Chang Gung, didn't have a better way to defend Padget.

At the end of the first quarter, at 30:32, the youth team went from leading by four points to now trailing by two points.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Li Changgeng played again. After sitting on the bench for so long, it was clear that he had calmed down.

The basketball was handed over to Li Changgeng. After sitting on the court for so long, he had the same thought as Geng Xiangzhi after he returned to the court: since there is no more way to defend, then counterattack with a stronger attack.

Stronger attacks to counter-offensive past!

"Pap, pap" changed direction twice, stopped sharply, stepped back, raised his hand to shoot the basket, hit the wrist obliquely, turned the basketball in his hand diagonally, cut a straight line, passed through the defense of Argentina and passed to Song Liuming under the basket.

Basket one-on-one!

Turning with his heel, Song Liu Ming easily sent the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Beautiful, the ball is passed beautifully, and Song Liuming's strong attack under the basket is also beautiful!" The narrator applauded.

It was the turn of the youth team to defend. Defensively, there is no more to do. Li Chang Gung is still working very hard to defend Padget.

Li Changgeng is 183CM, Pagette is 201CM, and the height difference of 18CM is not the same level at all. How could the Argentines not notice such a clear height advantage. So far, Argentina's offensive has gone from 80% to Padgett, and this time is no exception.

Splitting the ball after breaking through is Padgett's forte. His speed is not very fast, but the sudden start in a short period of time is extremely fast. Although Li Changgeng's acceleration is not inferior to him, when he is in a defensive position, he has not been overtaken by the reaction.

The only chance is to prejudge the direction of his breakthrough.

Left? Or on the right? Li Changgeng was once again faced with such a choice. Even the smartest players always have some gaps to check when they break through. But Li Changgeng has not been found so far.

After Padgett received the ball, he suddenly started the speed, Li Changgeng followed, made an emergency stop, swung back under the basketball crotch, and accelerated on the left, and Li Changgeng, who had just adjusted his center of gravity, had already been close to him again.

Padgett made another sharp stop, stepped back, and raised his hand to shoot! Although Li Changgeng had jumped up to stop it, the basketball still flew above his fingers.

Still half a step away!

With his feet on the ground, Li Changgeng desperately turned around and looked back, "Huh! "Crisp sound, the ball is in!

Simply Liluo, Argentina's attack this time is not inferior to the cooperation just completed by Li Changgeng and Song Liu Ming.

32：35！

Offense and defense are transposed again.

Eight minutes on the court in the first quarter, plus now that the second quarter of the game has been played so far, Li Changgeng's threading has been very obvious. Argentina kicked off against his defense after a gesture from the head coach on the sidelines.

Li Changgeng received the ball, and the figure in front flashed, and two people blocked the front at the same time!

A double bag clip?

In the second quarter of the game, Argentina finally put their strongest defensive position on the table!

Unlike the youth team, Argentina's defense is as good as their attack, and they have kept their opponents' shooting percentage below 40% in every game. Maintain a two-man defense against the ball carriers, and the strong side covers the weak side of the joint defense, and their defense is a typical three-two mixed defense. This is the defense of the Chinese team in the match against the Chinese team. But in that game, the youth team did not really see the power of this kind of defense, one is the disparity in strength between the two sides, and the other is that the Chinese team has never been really good at joint defense.

It was only at this moment that the youth team really saw the power of this kind of defense.

Although Argentina's defense is strong, how can the attack of the youth team be idle? Geng Xiangzhi had already seen their defense from the video but had not made special preparations, could it be that he really overslept?

No, Geng Xiangzhi didn't believe that that kind of defense could contain the attack of the youth team at all.

The performance of the youth team on the field once again confirmed Geng Xiangzhi's prediction. Li Changgeng, who was trapped, changed hands under his crotch, turned around and passed the ball behind his back, Li Zheng received the ball, Sima Shenji rushed into the inner line, Song Liu Ming and Li Zheng pulled left and right, and the whole youth team on the court was moving rapidly.

Li Zheng did not control the ball for too long after receiving the ball, and the ball was passed quickly while he quickly shifted his position.

The basketball was handed over to Sima Shenji, and the outside line Li Zheng and Li Changgeng were dismantled as covers, and the gap appeared, and Sima Shenji's pass followed.

Li Changgeng catches the ball and raises his hand to shoot the basket!

"Huh!" Ball in!

Limit the passing path of the player with a double bag, and then use the team's combined defense to suppress the opponent's attack in a tight area. Argentina's overall defensive tactics are not unsophisticated, but their opponents today are the youth team. The tactics of cracking the three-two mixed defense are nothing more than three-point shooting from a distance to pull away the opponent's defense; A good point guard can pass the ball to the weak side in the bag; Moving the ball quickly doesn't give the opponent a chance to wrap up. Now this youth team can be said to have all three conditions, and when Argentina use their tried and tested defense against the youth team, it will be difficult to deal with other teams like that.

This is the restraint of tactics - the attack of the youth team just restrained the Argentine defence.

Therefore, Geng Xiangzhi dared to set the tactical idea of deciding the outcome of the attack with the opponent.

Geng Xiangzhi can see it, and the Argentine coach can also see this, but he still sacrifices such a defense, which naturally has his reasons, or his suffering. Just like the Chinese team's regional defense, the three-two mixed defense is also the Argentine's best defensive tactic. The defenders move quickly, defend aggressively, and press closely, which is what the Argentine is best at. As for the fast-paced offense of the youth team, Argentina adjusted its tactics several times in the first quarter of the past and failed to find an effective way to contain it, but disrupted its offensive rhythm several times. And the 32 mixed defense team and the youth team are not completely ineffective. The defender's aggressive packing and pressing is a headache for any attacking team, and fast passing will inevitably increase mistakes, and the tactical core of the youth team is only 16 years old, and the Argentines simply don't believe that a 16-year-old can maintain such a high level of form throughout the game. And the three-point shot, which is the most inconsistent means of scoring, is not an outside team, so there is no need to worry too much.

And, like Geng, the Argentine also believes in his attacking prowess.

After weighing all the pros and cons, Argentina still adopted the three-two mixed defense that they are best at.

Once again, the game evolved according to Geng Xiangzhi's script, and after offsetting the gap in defense, the strength of the two sides was once again pulled in. All that's left is the play of the players on both sides on the pitch. Naturally, there was a bit of luck. After an unprecedented bad luck last time, Geng Xiangzhi didn't believe that God was embarrassed to go against him this time.

It can be said that when Argentina changed its defensive tactics, Geng Xiangzhi saw the hope of victory for the first time.

When two teams with strong attacking strength collide and both sides give up defending to a certain extent, the game is naturally exciting.

On the side of the youth team, Li Changgeng sent the ball out of the gap between the two people again, and the basketball was handed over to Sima Shenji, and the Argentine team's inside line that saved the outside package defense was relatively small, Sima Shenji threw the ball to the rebound, and Li Zhenhua jumped up under the basket and hit the ball to catch the ball and dunk the ball directly into the basket.

Hit the relay dunk!

There was a burst of cheers inside and outside the stadium, and the whole side of the Chinese youth team suddenly rose.

The Argentine team is gone, and we have to get back face: we also have to dunk, and we have to hit the relay!

Outside Padgett and his teammates broke off the cover and slipped from the baseline into the interior after shaking off Li Changgeng's defense. Li Zhenhua under the basket hurriedly assisted in the defense. Padgett jumped high in the face of Li Zhenhua's basketball in his hand, and looked like he was going to force a shot. Li Zhenhua followed up with a shot that jumped up to block Padget.

The gap has appeared!

A high arc of the basketball in Padgett's hand flew past Li Zhenhua's block, and also flew over the basket to the other side of the basket. The Argentine power forward, who was ambushed outside the penalty area, suddenly rushed to the basket, grabbed the basket that hit the fallen basket and smashed the ball into the basket.

Interfere with the ball, the goal is invalid!

The Argentine coach in a chair on the sidelines fell on his back, got up and yelled at his players. The content of his roar translated into Chinese is: "Idiots, you guys, give Li Changgeng one more time, this time for Keno (hit relay dunk)!" ”

After Geng Xiangzhi on the side of the youth team understood the content of his roar, he sat unsteadily and fell out with a feint.

What a coach with a lot of character!

Both!

- Geng Xiangzhi, who got up from the ground, smiled and said: "Yes, (the Argentine coach) has a lot of character, Li Changgeng likes it!" ”

When the game entered a stalemate, the power of the Argentine team's rebounding was revealed.

Although the Chinese youth team has taken a regional joint defense with heavy troops on the inside, the Argentine players' fast movement and wide range of passes still mobilize the young players to keep running. Once the joint defense is stretched, it will leave Argentina's two strong interior players with a chance.

The Argentine team does not have a center in the true sense of the word, and the two interior players are both big forwards within 210CM in height, but they do not suffer when they compete for rebounds with Song Liuming (218CM) and Li Zhenhua (210CM) of the Chinese youth team. A great rebounder's height is not the most important thing, and there are very few rebounding kings in NBA history who are above 210cm. In the competition of explosiveness at the time of jumping, judgment of basketball landing points, and the ability to get stuck under the basket, Song Liu Ming and Li Zhenhua seem to be inferior. Moreover, in addition to these two inside players, the other players of the Argentine team are also more than two meters tall, so the youth team is also inferior in the height competition - Li Changgeng is only 183CM on the side of the youth team.

Rebounding is the guarantee of offense, and one more rebound is one more offensive opportunity. Especially for these two teams with very high offensive efficiency on the court, rebounding can almost make the difference between winning and losing the game.

Seeing that the opponent's advantage in rebounding was getting bigger and bigger, Geng Xiangzhi hurriedly asked for a pause to adjust his tactics. But on the court, Song Liuming and Li Zhenhua are already the two best rebounders among all the national youth players, and if they ask them again, they may hold back a sentence: It's not that we are incompetent, it's that the communist army is too cunning.

There are no substitutions to change, and adding rebounders will affect the offense. There was no way, Geng Xiangzhi had no choice but to viciously order Sima Shenji and Li Zheng: "Don't be idle, you two should both grab the ball for Li Changgeng." ”

"Smack!" Argentina's shot landed on the basket and bounced high, and four Argentine players on the ground rushed over to grab the rebound. It is estimated that if it weren't for Li Changgeng's quick counterattack, Padgett would have rushed into the basket.

In the chaos of the inside, the basketball was stabbed to the outside. Li Changgeng, who was leisurely outside the three-point line, looked at the ball sent up, how could he not want it? Smiling, he reached out to pick it up. But when his eyes followed the scene behind the basketball, "Mom! Exclaim and quickly dodge.

"Bump!" There was a violent vibration on the floor, and Li Changgeng closed his eyes with an expression that he couldn't bear to witness. On the ground, two strong men fell to the ground solidly, and the two of them were still fighting for the basketball with their four hands. "Flute!" The referee hurriedly blew the whistle, and the two people who fell to the ground let go.

Falling to the ground were Sima Shenji and Argentina's small forward Porter Seth.

Li Changgeng hurriedly pulled Sima Shenji up, and at the same time secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, he was not tall enough, and the old man couldn't ask him to compete for rebounds.

Scramble for the ball, Sima Shenji's excellent bounce made another contribution, and the basketball hit Li Changgeng's hands.

In his own way, Li Changgeng expressed his respect for Sima Shenji's desperate efforts to grab the ball. After receiving the ball, he quickly broke through with the ball, rushed into the opponent's interior line and picked up the basket to send the ball to the opponent's basket.

Although Sima Shenji desperately grabbed a rebound, it was only the defensive rebound of the youth team. It's so hard to defend rebounds, and it's even harder to grab a couple of offensive rebounds. Therefore, the rebounding team is still in a worrying situation.

There is no victory without rebounding, and at this time in the game, everyone in the young players knows it.

If this is a game in the league, Geng Xiangzhi would have adjusted his tactics early to make the opponent's interior player foul and invite the opponent's rebounder to play. But this is a match between national teams.

There is one big difference between national teams and professional club teams, and that is bench depth.

In the professional game, no matter how strong the team is, it is impossible for every player to be an elite and a star. There is generally a clear gap in strength between the main force and the substitutes. However, the national team is different, gathering outstanding players from all over the country, both the main players and the substitute players are outstanding masters. In terms of rebounding, there are at least five rebounders on the Argentine team sitting on the bench, and each of them is ready to come off the bench.

Using foul-making tactics against such a team, Geng Xiangzhi consciously did not reach the point of stupidity.

Depressed, Geng Xiangzhi, who was frowning and worried on the sidelines, greeted God in his heart and said: Bastard God, you gave Li Changgeng a Li Changgeng, why don't you give Li Changgeng a Rodman again! Even if you don't give Li Changgeng, you shouldn't let every Argentina be Rodman's second, right?

Li Changgeng on the court was also flashing in his heart at this time, and his words were not very sven: Damn, how can these people rob one by one as if they have taken stimulants?

He may not really care if the other party has taken stimulants, but Sima Shenji's slightly unnatural steps make him very interested. The blow may not have hurt you, but the pain was certain. Deep down in his heart, Li Changgeng definitely didn't want to see Sima Shenji come again, and he would fall the same hard again.

"Offensive rebounds are counted as two points, and defensive rebounds are only counted as one point (Geng Xiangzhi's conversion standard in the agreement), and it is more cost-effective to grab offensive rebounds." Li Changgeng muttered in a low voice.

Sima Shenji next to him didn't hear what Li Changgeng was saying clearly, and looked at him strangely.

Offensive rebounds!

Li on the outside was receiving the ball in the middle space, raised his hand to shoot the basket, and the basketball drew an arc and flew to the basket -

At the same time, Li Changgeng on the three-point line suddenly moved-

"Smack!" The basketball landed on the basket and bounced high, and the top of the basket player's head flew out as if outside the box. Suddenly a hand popped out, "Smack!" "Grab the ball with one hand, hit the basketball and hold it tightly in your arms.

"Bump!" The basketball fell to the ground in his arms.

"Li Changgeng!" The TV commentator exclaimed after seeing the figure.

It is indeed Li Changgeng!

The basketball in both hands was sent out at the same time, "Smack!" The basketball bounced off the ground through the human seam and fell into the hands of Li Zheng outside the three-point line.

Raise your hands and shoot again!

"Huh!" This time, basketball is in the frame.

At the end of the first half, the score was 60:62, and the youth team was two points behind.
