Chapter 258: Let it go!
The Philippine team's Princeton tactics really made the Chinese team uncomfortable for a while, and the Philippine team relied on this tactic to narrow the point difference, and only trailed the Chinese team by 3 points at the end of the first quarter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The performance of the Filipino team made the atmosphere of the scene also burst, and the Filipino fans at the scene were extremely excited, and the uniform slogans resounded throughout the stadium.
Giannakis also formulated a response to the Philippine team's tactics, and due to the inherent shortcomings of the Philippine team's lineup, it is much easier to deal with them.
"Princeton's tactics are, to put it bluntly, tireless air cuts and counter-runs, and it can be dealt with with by zone defense and entrapment ......"
Zone defence can effectively limit the opponent's open cuts, and when a player misses a defender, other personnel can quickly fill in, compressing the opponent's opportunity to create a gap. The bag is mainly aimed at the ball holder, when the upline strategy center holds the ball, he can be pressed accordingly, forcing him to make a passive pass, and other players can see the timing and be able to cut off the opponent's passing line better, even if the pinch continues, quickly wrap the second receiving point player, which can greatly cause the error rate. Space and timing have been compressed, and Preston's style of play, which relies most on space, has become an empty shelf.
In the first half of the second quarter, both sides used the bench lineup to fight on the court, and Castro of the Philippine team took advantage of the time when the main players were off the court to start the show alone. Castro is hailed as the best defender in Asia by Filipino fans, who often compare him to Iran's Kamni. However, compared to Camney's ability to play with passes, Castro prefers to attack. Although he is only 188 centimeters, his dedication to the basket has embarrassed the backup guards of the Chinese team.
Before the game, the Philippine media said that the Chinese defenders did not have the skills, "their task is only to dribble the ball across the half court, and sometimes this goal is not achieved." ”
Such an evaluation made Chinese fans quite unhappy, and on the court, Castro turned on the singles mode. Not only that, but his thin body rushed into the Chinese team's interior again and again, and he fouled, and the first 7 points of the Philippine team in the second quarter were all scored by him alone, which shows the fierceness of this person's firepower.
A player with such a strong score, Vincent pressed him to the bench. The reason for this is that he is literally like air on the defensive end. Although on the court, he regarded himself as Kobe, but he couldn't prevent the Chinese players who were playing against him.
Guo Allen and Chen Jianghua used their speed to break through him again and again to cooperate with the inside line, and frequently scored points. Not only that, Yanakis once let Dazhi dribble and Sun Yue to block and dismantle, and pushed Castro from the top arc with his back in dislocation, and he couldn't find North with his dream pace, if he hadn't fouled in advance, Dazhi almost hit 2+1!!!
A Castro couldn't change anything, although he scored 13 points alone in the second quarter, but the Chinese team relied on team cooperation, played 27-21 in a single quarter, and ended the first half with a 48-39 lead over the Philippine team by 9 points at halftime.
The rhythm of the second quarter was very fast, and the Chinese team played well off the bench, and Giannakis simply let Sun Xiaotian accumulate more energy, and only played the last 4 minutes.
Sun Xiaotian scored 14 points and 5 assists in the first half of the quarter, the statistics are not very good, but this half is the easiest for him to play in this Asian Championships, the reason is that everyone in the Chinese team is very involved in this game, and everyone knows what their role is, everyone knows how to share the ball, and every time they can pass the ball to the most comfortable person.
Yi Jianlian scored a game-high 17 points and 10 rebounds in the half, plus three blocks.
In addition to Yi Jianlian and Sun Xiaotian, Guo Allen also scored 10 points.
In the Philippines, in addition to Castro scoring 10 points, Dohit also scored 12 points and 8 rebounds, and the other players did not have a double-double.
-------
Throughout the first half, the Philippine team did not show a team with the right time and place, and the fans' expectation that the Philippine team would use the advantage of home to beat the Chinese team did not come true.
Although they have achieved good results in such a period of time, the gap in the team's hard power has made their achievements like bubbles in the air, which seem beautiful and shatter at a point.
The third quarter begins.
After Guo Allen dribbled the ball past half court, Sun Xiaotian took the initiative to ask for the ball.
Giannakis told him at halftime to let go of some baggage in the second half and score as much as he wants, which is why Sun Xiaotian was able to accumulate strength in the first half.
Sun Xiaotian held the ball, and the Philippine team Norwood and Chen Jeff immediately came up to block it, but before the two of them could close the circle, Sun Xiaotian directly accelerated and passed between the two of them, and the speed was amazing! The collision of the body directly knocked Chen Jeff to the ground.
Sun Xiaotian dribbled to the free throw line, facing Dohit's fierce eyes, the green muscles in his hands suddenly soared wildly, he used all his strength, took a big step in the free throw line, and picked up the ball with his right hand to dunk it across Dohit.
"That's too wicked! I want to buckle it like this! Isn't this looking for a hat? ”
How could such a stout man as Dosit let Sun Xiaotian succeed again, he rushed out directly from Sun Xiaotian's right side and came at Sun Xiaotian.
"Oops!"
Sun Xiaotian was secretly shocked!
The bodies of the two people collided violently in the air.
Sun Xiaotian's original split buckle posture suddenly lost his balance, leaned forward, and was about to fall out of the field. Unexpectedly, the moment Sun Xiaotian fell out, the ball changed from his right hand to his left hand, and his body seemed to pause in the air at this time.
Sun Xiaotian got up and stretched out his hands and gestured at the referee, "Hey! He had already committed a foul just now! You should blow and be punished! ”
The fans at the scene were dumbfounded, how did the ball just shoot it? It's too rebellious!
The Philippine team continued to use the high position to try to tear apart the Chinese team's defense again. However, the Chinese team, which had already prepared a tactical response, used regional man-marking and unlimited defensive switching tactics to make the Philippine team's ball bearers very uncomfortable.
"Smack!"
Guo Allen suddenly grabbed the bag, causing Dohit to lose the ball.
After cutting off the ball, Allen Guo used his skillful dribbling and a beautiful turn to deceive Tenorio's gambling steal. Quickly dribbling to the top arc, Yi Jianlian's cover was already in place, Guo Allen's speed did not weaken at all, he pulled horizontally, and then dribbled through between Aquila and Yi Jianlian.
"Beautiful! Did the Chinese defenders dare to dribble like this? Whoever says that Chinese players have no skills, that is an idiot's opinion! ”
At this time, Guo Allen had to retreat in front of Norwood, Guo Allen didn't pay attention to it at all, suddenly the second-stage rocket accelerated, and the left hand of the dribble suddenly flung to the right, and then the person turned a corner, ran away in shock, and stayed in Norwood in a daze!
Norwood only felt a dark figure behind him, and just turned around, "I'll you!! ”
Sun Xiaotian had already flown into the sky, spread his body, and held the ball with a bow in his right hand.
"Boom!"
Sun Xiaotian smashed the ball into the basket through Norwood, and when Sun Xiaotian landed, the basket trembled and seemed to be about to fall apart...... (To be continued.) )
