Both teams scored more than 60 points in the first half of the game, which is unique in this World Youth Championship, and even in the NBA. www.biquge.info The attacking power displayed by the two sides in this game shocked all basketball insiders who followed the game. And the wonderful offensive scene made the Chinese audience outside the stadium fascinated. Accustomed to Chinese basketball's vigorous slam dunk, they really saw two other offensive basketballs in the world that are not inferior to their Chinese basketball at the door of the dormitory.

And Geng Xiangzhi's attacking power of the national youth team was truly recognized by the world peers after the first half of the 24 minutes. To be able to draw with the Argentine team, which is known as the No. 1 attack and invincible defense, and dare to say that the dark horse miracle of the youth team is luck and luck.

In China, fans are not particularly surprised by the performance of Geng Xiangzhi's national youth team, which has created miracles again and again, but they are also very surprised, and reporters have already begun to prepare press releases. Regardless of the final outcome of the game, the 24 minutes of the first half were enough for them to praise everything.

Victory is gratifying, defeat is also gratifying, Chinese fans and media don't know when they suddenly have such a lofty realm.

Fans and media don't care about the outcome anymore, but the Chinese youth team has not slackened at all. So far, both the coach and the players have only the idea of winning in their eyes. There may have been a little bit of fear before the game, but the first half of the game against their opponents gave them enough confidence: it turns out that Argentina is nothing more than that!

The players were happily preparing for the second half of the game one by one, but Geng Xiangzhi secretly frowned at this time. Through the pre-game arrangement, the adjustment of tactics in the game, and the efforts of the players, Geng Xiangzhi almost perfectly offset the gap in strength between the two sides. It can be said that 80% of the first half of the game was expected by him, and the final difference between the two sides was completely within the range of his calculations. If you just look at the result of the first half, it can be said that it is a near-perfect game. But as the commander in control of the game, Geng Xiangzhi deeply knew that the situation of the game was gradually beyond his control.

The unintended variable was Argentina's rebounding advantage. Geng Xiangzhi had a good understanding of Argentina's rebounding advantage before the game, but when he actually played the game, he found that the opponent's advantage was more powerful than he imagined......

The difference in rebounds alone is not enough to decide the game, and Geng Xiangzhi's real concern is the ripple effect of the difference in rebounding. The impressive results of the youth team in this World Youth Championships have undoubtedly become the biggest dark horse in this World Youth Championships. But there is still a difference between a dark horse and a real strong team, just like the difference between the nouveau riche and the aristocracy. The youth team does not really have the background of a strong team. The confidence of the players comes from the excellent results of this World Youth Championships, not enough understanding of their own strength. The youth team lacks the experience of winning in difficult situations, and once the opponent uses the advantage of rebounding to widen the score gap against a strong team like Argentina, Geng Xiangzhi can't imagine whether the players of the Chinese youth team will still be able to be as imposing as in the first half. Nervousness, discouragement, and impatience are almost predictable. And what a bad impact this change in mood will have, even Geng Xiangzhi can't control it.

Geng Xiangzhi knew very well in his heart that the situation in the second half was really walking on thin ice for the Chinese youth team, and a little carelessness would completely lose the game.

"We're a strong team!" It's not that it will become a reality, whether it can transform from a dark horse to a real strong team is undoubtedly a huge test.

Geng Xiangzhi definitely didn't want to lose this match.

As a manager, no matter how much worry he has in his heart at the moment, he can't show it on his face. High-spirited and high-spirited is the expression on his face at this moment. And Geng Xiangzhi did show it.

However, the change in the expression in his eyes did not escape a person's eyes - Li Changgeng!

Just as Geng Xiangzhi judged, Li Changgeng has the ability to read the game that is difficult for ordinary players to achieve, and he also felt the crisis that Geng Xiangzhi saw dimly, but the look in Geng Xiangzhi's eyes made him more convinced.

"Rebounding is the difference between victory and defeat!" Removing the worry in his eyes, Geng Xiangzhi did not hide the importance of rebounding, and majestically glanced at the young players in front of him, and he began to arrange the rebounding tactics in the second half. The focus of tactics is still on the inside line Song Liu Ming, Li Zhenhua, Sima Shenji and others.

Although Li Changgeng grabbed a wonderful offensive rebound in the end, Geng Xiangzhi did not put his expectations on him - with Li Changgeng's size and strength, he was obviously not a rebounder.

It's just that Geng Xiangzhi has no way of knowing what the parties themselves think.

The second half of the game begins.

Continuing the fast pace of the first half, the two sides quickly got into the groove. Obviously, the Argentine coach also adjusted his tactics at halftime, and the offense was still sharp, but the rebounding was more and more active.

The Chinese youth team is still holding high the banner of this offense, with the attacking trident composed of Sima Shenji, Song Liuming, and Li Changgeng rushing through the defense of the Argentine team, wreaking havoc on the opponent's basket. The ten-minute break in the midfield did not make Sima Shenji and Song Liuming's state decline, and the two of them hit seven out of ten shots. There is only one way to say this - hands are hot. With such an efficient offense as a guarantee, the gap in rebounding is not so obvious. On the other hand, after the start of the second half of the Argentine team, their three main players rested off the field, and the substitutes may not be as strong as they were able to find their form in time, and their attacking power was obviously sluggish compared to the first half. After the opening five minutes, the Chinese youth team quickly equalized and overtook the others. By the fifth minute of the third quarter, the youth team extended its lead to seven points, and at this time, the Argentine team adjusted its tactics, and the main players on the bench were replaced one after another.

Geng Xiangzhi replaced Li Changgeng at the same time and let him rest. After Deng Yu came on as a substitute, the Chinese youth team narrowed the defensive area and stood on the inside. Geng Xiangzhi, who controlled the defensive rebounds and stabilized the rhythm, held a seven-point lead, was obviously trying to stall for time.

Delay until Li Changgeng can return to the game!

How could the Argentine coach easily let Geng Xiangzhi's wish come true, and after recovering the lineup, he quickly made a gesture: go all out to counterattack!

On the court, Argentina's offense quickly unfolded in a storm, and the regional joint defense players of the Chinese youth team stood in their positions to stabilize the interior defense, except for Deng Yu, who was responsible for marking people on the outside, everyone else did not step out of the three-point line at all.

Such a defensive position naturally has a lot of opportunities in the outside line, but Geng Xiangzhi doesn't have much to do, the only thing that can be fortunate is that the Argentine team is not an outside team, Deng Yu looks at the opponent's main three-point shooter, others? Leave it to fate!

To resign yourself to fate means to try your luck and see God on that side. And today, God is obviously not on Geng Xiangzhi's side. In the face of the Chinese youth team's false outside defense, the Argentine players unceremoniously showed their long-range shooting talents. The young players of the Argentine national youth team, like their predecessors, have a pretty good shooting standard, even if two interior players are outside the three-point line.

Dare to shoot is not the point, the point is the hit rate! What makes Geng Xiangzhi depressed is that these two big men also have a one-third hit rate.

After Argentina's entire attack was moved to the perimeter, it still maintained a fairly high shooting rate, and the momentum of chasing points was very fierce.

Looking back at the attack of the youth team, since it is necessary to delay time, it is natural to slow down the pace, and in fact, the offensive rhythm of the youth team has indeed slowed down. But this slow pace is not so much a deliberate act of the youth team as it is a last resort. Argentina continued the three-two mixed defense in the first half, maintaining two-man pressure on the player with the ball. Weak-side joint defense, strong-side wrap-up. When Li Changgeng was on the field, such a defense was as useless as a wooden horse, but now after he got off the field, the strength of the defense of the Argentine team, which lacked the core of the hub, was immediately revealed.

When Li Zheng dribbled the ball through the half court and faced two people to wrap it, the lack of Li Changgeng, a core player, to receive the ball, even if it was passed, could not create a favorable offensive. The most frequent situation is that the player who receives the ball is suppressed by Argentina's joint defense, and the route of the attacking small two is blocked and the pass is blocked, and the individual response in the past has also repeated the same mistakes. In this way, several players of the youth team were pressed into a small area, while the players in the gap did not get the ball.

The attacking team usually evolves into two situations: after a few difficult passes, when the ball reaches Sima Shenji, the gap to shoot has disappeared and there is not much time left to attack. As a last resort, relying on his personal ability, he dodged left and right, and struggled to tear open a gap for a shot basket to catch up with the violation. Or after Song Liuming, who is on the inside, relies on his strong body to forcibly stand in the position, the outside player continuously dismantles the ball as a cover to send the ball to him, and forcibly attacks under the basket.

It was just a change of one person before and after, and the whole offense had such a noticeable change. Even though Deng Yu's efforts on the court are obvious to all, the fans outside the stadium and in front of the TV still coincidentally flashed a word: indispensable, Li Changgeng is irreplaceable.

The offense is unfavorable and the defense is not strong, so it is impossible to expect the youth team to still be able to control the game. The situation quickly turned in favor of the Argentine team, and the gap between the scores between the two sides was also rapidly narrowing and even being overtaken by the opponent. Everyone saw that Geng Xiangzhi's replacement of Li Changgeng was a stupid move, but few people questioned this substitution. All Chinese fans are looking forward to it: when you have enough rest, hurry up and replace him on the field!

In the third minute when Li Changgeng sat off the court, Argentina's lead from outside the three-point line was wiped out, and they fell behind by one point.

In just three minutes, the youth team was beaten by the opponent by eight points. Li Changgeng on the bench couldn't sit still, and kept looking at Geng Xiangzhi beside him.

Geng Xiangzhi just shook his head lightly: "Wait, it's not your time to play!" ”

Li Changgeng unconditionally trusted Geng Xiangzhi's words, but he was still anxious in his heart, stood up and waved his hands to cheer for his teammates on the field.

Another minute passed, and the gap widened to five points!

Another minute passed, and the gap widened to seven points!

……

At this point in the game, the youth team is not only behind the score, but also the tactical coordination, the individual strength of the players, and the comprehensive strength of the team, and the youth team is behind the opponent in all aspects. But only in terms of momentum, the young team that has been losing and retreating still maintains high morale.

Not only the players on the field, but also the substitutes off the field are also cheering with high morale!

Why?

Could it be that the youth team has really grown into a real powerhouse? Can they really face the disparity in strength so calmly?

No, that's just because the situation hasn't touched their psychological bottom line yet!

This bottom line is Li Changgeng, the tactical core player of the youth team, sitting on the field. Like all Chinese fans, the young players are also waiting for Li Changgeng to return to the field and the moment when the young team will launch a big counterattack.

Knowing that the opponent was going to make a big counterattack, he still had to replace the tactical core players, in addition to letting Li Changgeng take a break, Geng Xiangzhi wanted to keep this psychological bottom line for the Chinese youth team.

This is the only way to maintain the hope of victory until the fourth quarter!

But it also creates a situation in fact that if the game ends up losing it, it's a tactical misconduct on the part of the manager; Victorious, that is Li Changgeng riding alone as a savior.

Geng Xiangzhi took all the responsibility on himself.

In the tenth minute of the third quarter, the youth team made another substitution. Geng Xiangzhi replaced Sima Shenji, Li Zheng, Song Liuming and Li Zhenhua all in one go. Replaced four physical substitute players, plus Deng Yu's youth team sacrificed a full-court pressing tactic. But at this moment, the Argentine junior sophomore was strong, and the full-court pressing did not slow down their offensive pace, and at the end of the third quarter, the gap in the score widened to 11 points.

All the Chinese fans were waiting for the fourth quarter, for Li Changgeng to return to the court.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the lineup of the Chinese youth team: Sima Shenji, Li Zheng, Song Liuming, Li Zhenhua and the much-anticipated Li Changgeng.

Press the last hole card, and the decisive moment has finally arrived!

The ball of the youth team was handed over to Li Changgeng, and the other players quickly entered their respective positions.

What will he do with the ball?

glanced at the two opponents under the bag, unhurriedly controlled the basketball in his hand, and slowly combed the bangs that drooped on his eyes. What echoed in Li Changgeng's mind was Geng Xiangzhi's words: "Play resolutely and savagely." This time, Li Chang Gung allows you to break through without limits! ”

Unlimited breakthroughs, regardless of tactics, aside from coordination, no matter how many people in front of them block, they are all flat and flattened, which is definitely a barbaric performance.

Even if he wants to transform into a barbarian fighter, Li Changgeng, who has always regarded himself as a gentleman, still combs his bangs and tidies up his image.

The ......dribble begins to accelerate.

Song Liuming and Li Zhenhua on the inside line ran left and right at the same time to attract Argentina's interior defenders to move left and right, leaving an open no man's land on the inside.

"Bang, pop" The crotch changed direction twice to dribble, the body shook left and right twice, the feet suddenly accelerated, and the figure had already drilled through the gap between the two people in the shaking, "Bang!" Another blow sounded the ball, and the ball popped out of the opponent's crotch, and in the blink of an eye, it was back in his hand.

There is only a basket left in front of you!

In the roar, the slender figure flew up, the stretched body was like a big bird with wings spread and gliding, the basketball was held high in his hand, and it was smashed down at the highest point, "Boom!" "The hoop shook violently - dunk!

The audience opened their mouths wide, and the boiling stadium was silent for a moment.

The figure on the basket slowly fell!

The stadium at the moment of "boom ......" shock suddenly thundered, and the cheers resounded like a tsunami through the gymnasium.

The speed of the wind and thunder, the momentum of the thunder, the perfect combination of speed and strength, Li Changgeng announced to everyone with this domineering and arrogant ball: Start the counterattack now!

Counterattack!

The momentum of the Chinese youth team that received the message soared, and the players on and off the field shouted out the depression that had been suppressed in their hearts.

Boosting the team's morale with strong ball skills and turning the situation of the game around with a domineering slam dunk, Li Changgeng doesn't know how many times he has done such things. But this is the first time to be so domineering and arrogant as today.

Because in the past seven minutes, the most depressed person is Li Changgeng himself!

Holding his right index finger high, Li Changgeng, who was running, shouted: "Back to defense!" "That look was very similar to the look on the face of the team when they gave orders to the players in a UCLA game.

Everyone on the field responded in unison and quickly followed him.

At this time, no one noticed that anything was wrong.

The offensive and defensive shifts, the Argentine defenders who attacked quickly with the ball were caught by Li Changgeng and Li Zheng outside the three-point line, and Sima Shenji, Song Liuming, and Li Zhenhua marked people on the penalty area.

Dismantling, covering, passing, the basketball was handed over to the Argentine striker, and there were still two people standing in front of him - Li Zheng and Sima Shenji!

Dismantling, covering, passing, the basketball was handed over to the Argentine guard, and there were still two people standing in front of him - Sima Shenji and Li Zheng!

Three-two mixed defense!

Attacking the shield with the spear of the son, how can Argentina crack it when facing the defensive tactics that they are best at?

Pick-ups, covers, passes, receivers step back, raise hands, three points!

"Bump!" The ball fell on the basket, and Song Liuming on the inside confiscated the ball.

"Attack!" Song Liu Ming raised his hand to shoot the ball straight out, the basketball flew to the opponent's half of the court in a straight line, and a red figure pointed to the place where the straight line was quickly killed, catching the ball, dribbling, shaking the defenders, and making a layup.

The person who scored the goal was Li Changgeng!

From Song Liuming grabbing the rebound and passing the ball to the basketball into the opponent's basket, the time was only a little more than two seconds, and the defensive counterattack on the basketball court was a standard two-second fast break.

The score gap of eleven points became seven points in the blink of an eye,

Fifteen seconds into the fourth quarter, two consecutive wonderful goals made the audience fans who were looking forward to Li Changgeng's comeback put down their hearts hanging on the hit at this time, and the youth team returned to the rhythm of winning in the past.

Fifteen seconds into the fourth quarter, the win starts now!

Two wonderful goals in a row within 15 seconds, the spirit of the Chinese youth team soared to the peak in an instant. The soaring and invincible youth team was resurrected at this moment.

The past half-time was a clear statement of the fact that even a team as strong as Argentina could not take advantage of such a young team. The fourth quarter has just begun, the score difference is only in single digits, and all the spectators can easily conclude that the victory and defeat of this game have just begun!

Winning and losing is just beginning!

The Argentine team is equally aware of this fact. But as a world powerhouse, they have more advantages than the youth team. The performance in each player is: the Argentine players on the field are calm and calm, and the silent fighting spirit rises silently under the calm expression. That's what a really strong team can do! In other words, the Chinese youth team is facing the same situation, and Geng Xiangzhi may have to consider calling a timeout to challenge the emotions of the players.

The game continues to begin.

The spear of the son to attack the shield of the son of the youth team continued the defensive tactics of "three-two mixed defense", the strong side of the package and the weak side of the joint defense, and suppressed the offensive line of the Argentine team by limiting the passing route by the team members. The same tactics were used in Argentina's defense and the Chinese youth team attacked, and the Chinese youth team deduced a perfect cracking method under the command of Geng Xiangzhi. But when the offense and defense were transposed, in the face of their own defensive skills, the Argentine team was restrained everywhere, and the pace of attack couldn't help but slow down.

Unbelievable, right? In the face of the defense that he is most familiar with, Argentina's performance should not be worse than that of the youth team!

In fact, in the eyes of insiders, the situation on the court at the moment is not particularly unexpected, especially in the heart of Geng Xiangzhi, the head coach of the Chinese Youth Team, this has been foreseen for a long time.

Delving into the difference between the tactics of the two sides, although the same fast-paced offense, the same three-two mixed defense, both fast offense and pack, but there is an absolute difference in the tactical style of the two teams - although they seem so similar.

Fast-paced offense is a common trait of both teams. The speed of the counterattack is extremely fast, and the positional battle can quickly tear apart the opponent's defense in a short period of time, and the speed of the attack is indistinguishable between the two teams, even among all the teams in the entire World Youth Championship, the speed of the Argentine team and the youth team is definitely the top two. The speed, the other differences between the two teams in front of such stark similarities are deeply buried. Driven by the speed of both sides, the Argentine team relied on the team's fast passing and skillful overall coordination; On the side of the Chinese youth team, Li Changgeng's pivotal core role in the defender position can be seen even by ordinary viewers. The core youth team of Li Changgeng truly forms an organic and high-speed whole.

Looking back at the defense of the two sides, the defense of the Argentine team is undoubtedly the most authentic three-two mixed defense, the triangle position of the inside three, the bag and the joint defense are based on these three people. The Chinese youth team also uses the same package and joint defense, and there are a lot of elements of three-two mixed defense, and the players on the inside are also in a triangular position, and Li Changgeng and Li Zheng are covering and covering on the outside, which looks like a copy of the Argentine team.
