Chapter 128: Ah San is really hateful
When the ball was passed to Zhou Jie or Chen Haonan and Liming on the inside, the Indian team's double package made them unable to find an opportunity to attack. The www.biquge.info ball was passed to the outside line, and the Indian team, which resumed the marking defense, did not let the outside shooters of the Chinese youth team have an easy chance to score.
The situation of the game took a turn for the worse, and the Indian team quickly played a small climax of 10:0 to open the score between the two sides.
Coach Liu called a timeout. At this time, it is natural to adjust tactics.
Regarding the situation on the field, Coach Liu saw it clearly.
Obviously, the engine of India's attack is Savadika, who is incredibly fast and sharp in his breaks, and defenders must be able to keep up with him.
India's defence is a 2-3 mixed defence, which combines the advantages of joint defence and man marking to keep the opposition ball in charge of the ball, but the triangle position will leave a lot of space on the baseline. There are usually three ways to deal with this kind of defense: place a good three-point shooter in their team, have an interior player who is good at passing the ball in their team, and add a player who is good at passing, so that the basketball can quickly pass to the opponent's baseline open area.
Combining both offensive and defensive elements, King is clearly the most suitable candidate - he is the fastest in the youth team, and he is the only one who can defend Savadica; He's good at three-pointers and he's the best passer, and he's the best guy to crack the opposition's mixed defense.
However, after Coach Liu's eyes wandered around the lineup of the opposite Indian team, and then thought about the two opponents he was about to meet in the future, he finally gave up this tempting idea.
After the timeout, the game resumed.
Coach Liu replaced power forward Chen Haonan and replaced scoring guard Li Leilei. Li Leilei is an excellent three-point shooter, and he is not slow. When defending, he defends Savadica and assists with the Dragon Knife.
The offense of the Chinese Youth Team, Zhou Jie on the inside assisted in passing, and after Li Leilei, a three-point shooter on the outside, there were three shooters on the periphery of the Chinese Youth Team. The attacking power of the outside line has increased, and the defensive area of the Indian team has expanded, which also gives opportunities to Zhou Jie and Chen Haonan on the inside.
Coach Liu's tactical adjustment was quite successful, and after the substitution, the Chinese youth team began to score, and the breakthrough of Savadika was initially contained. Overall, the tactical adjustments had an immediate effect.
However, because the players were nervous, and there were some mistakes in the later games, the gap began to widen, and in desperation, Coach Liu no longer hid his strength and sent the team's strongest lineup, but he still had reservations, and Liming was put on the bench by him.
After the referee's whistle, the game really began.
The youth team gave up the fast and wild attack and adopted traditional tactics to play steadily. It is still Lin Lei who controls the rhythm of the game on the court,
Zhou Jie and Chen Haonan on the inside line are in important positions, and occasionally go to the outside to cover their teammates, and Long Tian, who is free from the inside and outside, is still the team's offensive focus, and he is always ready to receive passes from teammates and send the ball to the basket. King is calm enough to ensure that the ball is delivered safely to the front court.
Lin Lei, who coordinated the pass and inside several times, missed the basket from outside the penalty area and was grabbed by the opponent to rebound, and the first attack of the youth team ended in failure.
Offense and defense were shifted, and India's crisp three-pointer from the outside gave the youth team a glimpse of their outside strength.
Such a score seemed to foreshadow a poor start for the youth team. "Bump!" Zhou Jie's shot fell to the basket, "Bump!" Lin Lei's hook arc was too straight, and he flew directly to the rebound and popped back, "Touch!" It was Zhou Jie's shooting again, this time the basketball bounced off the basket and "dripped" on the basket after spinning for a long time.
On the other hand, the Indian team, "Whew! "Three-point shot," smack, smack! The inside forward hit the board and scored the basket, and "hey" was another three-point shot.
Four guards who are good at passing, fast and accurate three-point shooting, plus a strong forward on the inside, this combination is definitely a perverted combination. It's also definitely a very headache for the defending side. The situation on the pitch speaks for itself. After India's continuous outside shots into the frame, the Chinese youth team was forced to expand the defensive area and pull out to mark the defense. In the face of the Chinese youth team's outside marking defense, the Indian team's skillful dismantling and covering can pass the ball to the inside line without forming a gap for shooting. The Chinese youth team is heavily defended on the periphery, and the inside line is naturally empty, and when the ball is passed to the inside line, it almost forms a one-on-one singles situation. Close to the basket singles, two people of equal strength on the offensive side occupy an absolute advantage. In one minute, India made three of four three-pointers and scored eleven points in the blink of an eye with a basket.
On the other hand, the Chinese youth team's own offense seems to have suddenly lost the crosshairs of shooting, long-range shooting, shooting, hooking under the basket, and none of the four shots have to add a passing error of their own.
No fan of the Chinese youth team can watch such a start without worrying. Everyone's eyes on the field were on Coach Liu on the sidelines, and the TV camera was also aimed at Coach Liu at this time.
At this time, you should pause to stop the momentum of the other party, even the most amateur can see that you can't let the gap widen anymore.
As if hearing everyone's voices, Coach Liu called a timeout, and after the pause, he also made a substitution.
Chen Hao went south, and Ni Lan went up.
Ni Lan? Who is Ni Lan? The audience looked at each other.
The coach of the Indian team looked down at the investigation data of the Chinese youth team at hand: Ni Lan, played fifteen minutes in four games, scored? That's it? That's it.
Compared with the ignorance of foreign audiences, domestic fans still know a little about Ni Lan: Ni Lan, who was selected for the last National Huaxia Youth Team, is an excellent inside player, and of course, the projection ability of the outside line is also extremely strong.
That's all?
That's all!
What about more specific data? Maybe only Coach Liu has it.
When Coach Liu selected the youth players of this year's Guohuaxia, he had very strict requirements for the overall skills due to tactical reasons. I can't wait for everyone to be an all-round fighter who can break through, pass the ball, shoot baskets, have the ability to play alone, have impact, can grab rebounds, can score and organize offense. Such a requirement is naturally too harsh, but the comprehensive requirements of his team's skills can be seen from this. The players who were finally selected were indeed as technically comprehensive as he expected. But there is one person who is an exception - Ni Lan!
In the position of defender, Ni Lan is not fast enough, jumps high enough, is not as good as Liming in ball control, and is not as good as Long Tian in passing awareness, not to mention his personal singles ability. But in the end, Coach Liu put him on the list of the last twelve official players of the Guohua Youth Team. Why?
Because he really is a very good pitcher. Ni Lan's characteristics are very obvious and very prominent, that is, shooting three-point shots. In terms of shooting three-pointers alone, even Dawn is slightly inferior to him. His psychological quality is very stable (it can also be said to be very dull), there are no big ups and downs in his state like ordinary people, and most of the time he will not lose his touch.
With such an excellent three-point shooter, why did Coach Liu press him to the bench before? Is it for the so-called surprise soldiers?
No, Coach Liu is not the kind of master who presses his trump card on the bench to watch others be arrogant.
Just like his strengths, Ni Lan's shortcomings are also very obvious and outstanding - except for shooting baskets, his other skills are very ordinary. He is the kind of player who is responsible for shooting when the opportunity comes out and the ball passes to him, but in Coach Liu's tactics, the player in the scoring guard position should be the kind of player who can organize the offense and score by himself. Even if it's not Dawn, you should be as good at passing the ball and creating space for your teammates as King is.
It can be said that Ni Lan's tactics and Coach Liu's tactics cannot be integrated at all. But as I said before, Coach Liu is not a coach who is stubborn about tactics, and changing tactics at the right time may be able to achieve miraculous results.
Just like now.
Ni Lan is on the field.
Long Tian passed, King came out of the line, dismantled as a cover, and the ball passed to Ni Lan's hand - there was no one in front of him to defend. "Smack!" The basketball that fell on the basket bounced high, Zhou Jie jumped with both hands and grabbed the basketball, and immediately waved the ball to the three-point field, where Lin Lei received the ball, and the ball was handed over to Ni Lan's hand again. Catch the ball, raise your hand, shoot the basket, "Whew! "Crisp sound into the net, ball in!
Just like Coach Liu saw, Ni Lan has a fairly stable shooting rate, and an average of two shots like this can score one.
Fifty percent, that's enough!
Can India's three-point shooting rate stay at 50 percent? He didn't believe it when he killed Coach Liu.
After the substitution, the Chinese youth team scored quickly, and the situation on the field began to change as Coach Liu expected. The Indian team can't maintain such a horrible rate all the time. Once the shot is not made, the Chinese youth team, which has an advantage on the inside, can basically guarantee defensive rebounds. The Huaxia youth team, which grabbed the rebound, was not in a hurry to attack, and the ball was passed to Long Tian to stabilize the rhythm.
When it was the turn of the Chinese youth team to attack, the Chinese youth team clearly sacrificed the tactics with Ni Lan as the core of the offense, and passed the ball to Ni Lan's hand after dismantling the cover. "Whew, Wow" pierced India's basket twice in a row from outside the three-point line. After two times in a row, the third time the Indian team finally stopped eating this set, and when the outside line was once again used as a cover, the Indian team finally had an inside defender to come out to help the defense. But at this time, Long Tianshou's basketball passed to Zhou Jie's hand under the basket, and the basket singled the opponent, "Boom!" With a one-handed dunk, Zhou Jie let out a vicious breath.
The gap in the score was reduced to five points.
That's what Coach Liu needs, mobilizing the opponent's defense with the same outside three-pointers, and then sending the ball to the basket with the same inside offense. Such a combination of inside and outside lines seems to be the same as the opponent's tactics, but in fact, there are too many loopholes on the side of the Chinese youth team.
It doesn't matter if there are loopholes, Coach Liu only needs to catch the opponent off guard in a short period of time and chase the score back. When the game reached the eighth minute, the Indian team, which had seen through Coach Liu's tricks, was ready to take the opportunity to counterattack, and the Chinese youth team adjusted its tactics again at this time, and Ni Lan, who had completed the mission, was replaced by Chen Haonan. At the same time as Chen Haonan, there was also Liming - it was naturally Long Tian who was replaced by him.
At this point, Coach Liu's tactical goal in the first stage has been fully achieved - to control the score and win the opportunity to play at dawn.
After Dawn came on the field, the Chinese youth team quickly resumed its rapid and wild attack. Dawn intersperses with fast break passes inside and outside, and the other players break down as cover and move quickly to involve the opponent's defense. Basketball moves quickly in the Chinese youth team, and the Indian team players are tired of supporting the left and right defense.
On the court, King and Dawn are the most eye-catching pairs. Dawn's just right pass can always allow King to receive the ball in the most comfortable position and at the most appropriate time, and at this time King will not be soft, he just felt bad and then returned to the court as if he had found the crosshairs, outside long shots, inside shots, layups near the penalty area, dunks, and the scoring skills that forward players should master are vividly displayed in him.
The other players naturally couldn't see that King's hands were hot at this time, and he didn't need to be reminded by Coach Liu on the sidelines, whenever King had a shooting gap, the basketballs of other players' hands ran to him.
In this way, the Chinese youth team quickly changed the situation on the court with Liming as the tactical core and King as the offensive focus, and the gap in the score quickly narrowed, and even overtook at the end of the first quarter.
The coach of the Indian team will naturally not let the Chinese youth team change the game situation like this, but his continuous change of defensive tactics cannot stop the counterattack of the Chinese youth team. Moreover, the team with shooting as the main means of offense, once the rhythm is disrupted by the opponent, the shooting rate will drop sharply almost predictably. The coach of the Indian team tried his best, but he could only maintain the momentum of his attack, so as not to be further widened by the Chinese youth team.
Like a strategist, Coach Liu, who was sitting on the sidelines, firmly controlled the situation of the game. Ni Lan's appearance can be called a miracle soldier, and after Liming and Chen Haonan returned to the field, the tactics of the Chinese youth team were dignified and upright. After the continuous games of the Chinese youth team, Coach Liu's new tactics are no secret, I believe that the coach of the Indian team must have watched the videos of the previous games of the Chinese youth team before, and studied the strategy of cracking Coach Liu's tactics. However, the first quarter of the game was clear and clear to all: the situation of the game will not change because of this.
The dignified tactics are in front of you, which is to destroy your defense, which is to send the basketball into your hoop!
This is the proof of strength!
Just like in war, if you don't have the strength, you can honestly carry out guerrilla warfare, and only when you have saved enough money can you fight a large-scale corps operation.
The current Chinese youth team has saved enough money to fight with the world's top teams.
Coach Liu has never believed that the shooting level of domestic players is worse than that of foreign players, but it is an indisputable fact that Chinese players "cannot" shoot on the world stage. A large part of the reason for this is that domestic players have been ingrained in the psychology of "we are underdogs" for too long.
And now, the players of the Chinese youth team, who have won consecutive victories, finally have the confidence to challenge world basketball.
The Indian team replaced a defender and added a tall forward on the inside. After the personnel adjustment, the Indian team hopes to curb the speed of the Chinese youth team with a high degree by stabilizing the inside line. In fact, with their original lineup, although there are four defenders, their size is not lower than that of the average striker. With an average height of nearly two meters, Liming on the side of the Chinese youth team is almost a dwarf.
The coach of the Indian team changed his tactics, and Coach Liu here naturally did not make any moves. Just like playing chess, you first move and I will play later, and the chess is in front of you, and the competition is who is more powerful than the person who plays chess.
The coach of the Indian team changed his tactics, and Coach Liu here naturally did not make any moves. Just like playing chess, you first move and I will play later, and the chess is in front of you, and the competition is who is more powerful than the person who plays chess.
The strength of the inside line of the Chinese youth team is not weak, and Coach Liu did not make any personnel adjustments, but only adjusted the offensive routine, and at the same time allowed Liming to increase the number of shots.
The tactics are arranged, and the rest depends on the performance of the players on the pitch. In fact, the performance of the players on both sides was very good, and the two sides went back and forth throughout the second quarter, and the left and right baskets were pierced by the basketball again and again. The gap in scores has not widened or narrowed. The three-point gap is maintained.
During the next break, neither coach slacked off, and the three-point score difference did not mean much to both sides. When the coaches of the two sides arranged the tactics in the lounge, Coach Liu did not talk about "further widening the score gap", and the coach of the Indian team did not emphasize anything "narrowing the score gap", and everyone on both sides knew that the two sides were still standing on the same running line in the upcoming second half.
After the pause came back to start, the game was still exciting and intense, but there was still not much of a wave. Composure was the key word throughout the third quarter of the game. The players on both sides performed calmly, the scores of both sides were calm, and the atmosphere of the whole stadium was also very calm. Although there were cheers from time to time in the stands for the wonderful goals of the players of both sides, there was absolutely no side that was able to play a series of high-scoring climaxes to stir up the boiling emotions of the spectators in the stands. The game is too calm and dull, and even if there are occasional wonderful goals such as Chen Haonan and Zhou Jie's passing and slam dunk from Liming, it can't excite the American audience who are used to the NBA for too long.
In the eyes of domestic fans, it is surprising to be able to compete with this recently rising powerhouse, but for fans who are looking forward to victory, they still hope that the Chinese youth team can establish a leading edge as soon as possible. In the hearts of domestic fans, the entire fourth quarter would rather be garbage time.
The calm third quarter ended, and the fourth quarter, which decided the outcome of the game, began. The situation that has been quiet suddenly set off huge waves at this time, and the situation that the Chinese youth team has been controlling is like a roller coaster that has just crossed the mountain, falling sharply at this time.
In the opening minute, Zhou Jie, who had already committed three fouls before, was whistled twice in a row. There were eleven minutes left in the game, and even Coach Liu had to replace him with a pheasant at this time.
This seemed to be just the beginning of bad luck, and then a series of blows followed after Zhou Jie was off the field.
"Flute!" The referee's whistle sounded, and Chen Haonan curled up on the ground in pain holding his legs. On the slow motion on TV, you can only see that Chen Hao Nankong had a physical contact with the opponent when he was just scrambling for a rebound, and when he landed on the ground, he staggered and stood unsteadily, and finally fell.
On the court, the Chinese youth players quickly surrounded them, and the team doctor on the sidelines also quickly rushed over, and everyone carried Chen Haonan off the field. After a brief diagnosis, the team doctor shook his head at Coach Liu. Although the injury is not too serious, Chen Haonan will obviously not be able to play in the remaining ten minutes of the game.
In just one minute, two players lost two generals, which not only greatly damaged the morale of the Chinese youth team, but also actually lost two extremely important scoring points.
Chen Haonan can't play, so naturally someone has to replace him, and Coach Liu sent Li Leilei after a little thought. Replacing the two absolute main forces at this decisive moment is definitely not something that Coach Liu could have expected before.
It can be said that the game has reached this point beyond Coach Liu's control, and it is clear that God is not on his side today.
Chen Haonan and Zhou Jie are the Dinghai Shenzhu of the Chinese Youth Team, and they are also the de facto fourth and fifth scorers of the Chinese Youth Team. The fate of the two of them is equivalent to cutting off half of the attack power of the Huaxia Youth Team in an instant. Not to mention that there is a gap between the Pheasant and Li Leilei on the field, whether they can integrate into Coach Liu's tactics is a big problem. In Coach Liu's tactics, the tactical core Li Ming is naturally an irreplaceable figure, but Chen Haonan and Zhou Jie are also very important roles. Normally, when Dawn is on the field, the two of them must also be on the field. On the one hand, it is naturally to maximize the tactical effect, but also because there are really no good replacements. So far in the game, the two of them have been the two who have played the most minutes in the Chinese youth team.
If it is only one of them who is absent, Coach Liu is confident that there will still be no problem with the tactics working, but now ......
Coach Liu's bad premonition of the game on the court soon became a fact. After losing two scoring points in a row, Dawn naturally became the first choice to shoot the basket. But it seems that he has not yet gotten rid of the shadow of Chen Haonan and Zhou Jie's departure, Liming missed the basket for two consecutive shots, and the cooperation between the two players who had just come on the court also made mistakes one after another.
With the tactical core playing so often, the performance of the whole team can be imagined. As if they were infected, Long Tian and King's shots also missed the basket one after another. (To be continued.) )
