"Serbia are a respectable opponent, they have a lot of quality, but they are still too young and I believe they will definitely be able to shine in the future."

At the press conference, in front of the reporters with long guns and short guns, Younas highly praised the opponent of the game, and also commented on the performance of the national team in this game.

"Victory, they deserve such a victory, but behind the victory, we need to pay more attention to the many mistakes we made in the game, we are not flawless, we are not invincible, we need to adjust our mentality, take every game seriously, look for our shortcomings in the game, and then make up for it, to strengthen ourselves."

Although this Serbian team is not a national team in the real sense, nor is it a strong team in the real sense, the Chinese team still made many mistakes in the game. Although many mistakes did not become an opportunity for the Serbian team to turn the situation around, it did not mean that the Chinese team could make mistakes in the Olympic Games.

In addition to the many mistakes in the game, injuries are also the biggest problem plaguing the national team at the moment.

Although Yao Ming returned from injury and had a good performance in this game, he is still in the observation period and cannot be the starter. And in the game just ended, he unfortunately lost the backcourt general Liu Wei, in the process of a layup, Liu Wei accidentally fell to the ground, was pressed on his leg by the opponent's player, and had to withdraw from the game.

Naturally, Liu Wei's injury touched the hearts of many people.

Although many people are criticizing the defenders of the Chinese team, Liu Wei is not immune, but it is undeniable that Liu Wei is still a defender representing the top level in Asia, and he is still the leading defender in China.

If Liu Wei is absent from the Olympics, can Chen Jianghua, who has been expected for many years, replace Liu Wei?

"Liu Wei's injury is not as pessimistic as imagined, and further diagnosis is needed to be confirmed! I don't have much of a problem just thinking about participating in the Olympics. As for Chen Jianghua, he performed very well today, he is an indispensable part of the national team, and he will show his value on the pitch. ”

In fact, not only Liu Wei, Wang Zhizhi has also been plagued by injuries.

Wang Zhizhi, who had been diagnosed with the need for surgery in March, had to take conservative treatment in order to ensure that he could participate in the last Olympic Games of his career.

Bone spurs and edema around the knee are big problems that plague Wang Zhizhi.

Although Wang Zhizhi still had a wonderful performance on the court, no one knew if there would be an accident in the game.

"Although I don't agree with the players making such a choice, I support Wang Zhizhi's decision. A lot of people have gone to greatness because of this. I think Wang Zhizhi is also moving towards greatness, as for whether he will start......"

At this, Younas fell into a hesitation.

He can tell reporters with certainty that Chen Jianghua will not appear in the starting lineup. But in this position of power forward, he does not dare to make any affirmations or guarantees.

Although Wang Zhizhi is plagued by injuries and seems to have a very small probability of appearing in the starting lineup, everything is possible, and the possibility of accidents cannot be ruled out.

However, Wang Zhizhi is old after all, and he still has injuries. So in the absence of any surprises, there is absolutely no chance of starting. Then in the position of power forward, he only has two options left: Lei Lin and Yi Jianlian.

The advantage of choosing Yi Jianlian is that it is on the offensive end. can provide a certain amount of firepower support and share the burden of Yao Ming's scoring.

And what about Raylin?

Can you say that he can't provide firepower on the offensive end?

Apparently not.

Although the offensive means are not rich enough, he has a scoring method that Yi Jianlian does not have, that is, he plays with his back under the basket. Obviously, at this point, Lei Lin is more threatening than Yi Jianlian.

Because the closer you get to the basket, the higher the probability of scoring.

It is estimated that this is also the reason why Lei Lin's data in the NBA is better than Yi Jianlian.

At the same time, the pressure that Lei Lin shared on Yao Ming on the defensive end was also incomparable to Yi Jianlian.

From both offensive and defensive perspectives. Raelin is undoubtedly the best starting power forward.

However, judging from the degree of teamwork and run-in of the lineup, Yi Jianlian has a greater advantage over Lei Lin.

But basketball is not a game where you can win just by starting out.

In the NBA, many teams have indispensable bench bandits who are responsible for stealing points when the main team is at the end of the break. Like Terry of the Mavericks and Ginobili of the Spurs, they are not without the ability to play the main role, but for the sake of tactical requirements, the head coach put them on the bench to help the team steal points at critical moments.

That's why the NBA has created the Sixth Man of the Year to reward bench players who have excelled in the past season.

'It all depends on the form, in my team there is no fixed starting XI and I will make some adjustments depending on the form of the players.

In the end, Younas also had to come up with a phrase that football coaches often say, perfunctory.

After all, there are only five players on the basketball court, and if the starting lineup is fixed, it is rare to make changes.

When Younas said such words, it also reflected the contradiction in his heart.

Obviously, between Lei Lin and Yi Jianlian, there must be someone who has to take on the task of grabbing points after the main force is off the field.

Who is more suitable?

"Technically, both of them are suitable!"

After the press conference, Younas went straight to his coaching staff and expressed his thoughts.

With the Olympics just around the corner, what he needs most now is to confirm his starting line-up, and then make a run-in and fine-tuning tactics.

As the assistant coach of the men's basketball team, Nelson Jr. was the first to express his opinion.

As the general manager of the Mavericks, Nelson Jr. knows the respective characteristics of Yi Jianlian and Lei Lin very well, and it can even be said that in the entire coaching staff, it is not an exaggeration to say that he knows Lei Lin the best.

After all, Nelson Jr. had seen Leylin's power firsthand at the American Airlines Center.

"Yi Jianlian has excellent shooting ability, while Raylin has excellent ability to play under the basket, although the offensive means are different, but they can both provide firepower to the team. But ......"

Nelson said he took a look at the members of the Chinese coaching staff.

Nelson Jr., who has held positions in the Chinese men's basketball team since the Harris era, is very aware of the style of the Chinese.

"But what!"

"Mentally, I think Leylin should be on the bench."

When he said this, the members of the Chinese coaching staff looked relieved.

Obviously, they also thought that Yi Jianlian should appear in the starting lineup, although their expressions were relieved, but then they frowned.

"What does it mean that on a mental level, Leylin is more suitable for being on the bench?"

After Director Guo frowned, he asked directly.

"Quite simply, Leylin's style of play is passionate and aggressive, which goes a long way in boosting the morale of the players."

Nelson's words made Director Guo directly shut his mouth.

Although they recognize Rayling's performance in the NBA, they do not recognize Raelin's entry into the national team.

Because of tactical problems, there can be no outliers like Reeling in the national team. However, they also know that there are times when passionate play on the basketball court can indeed boost the morale of the players and even change the final direction of a game.

“OK！ Thanks for the suggestion, I know how to make a choice! ”

As an experienced manager, Younas certainly knows that passionate players are needed on the bench to boost morale, but the main squad also needs such players.

But thinking of Yao Ming's existence, it seems that the presence of Lei Lin is more needed in the bench lineup.

Thinking of this, Younas shook his head with a smile.

After the Athens Olympics, he took over the national team and has been preparing for the Beijing Olympics.

Although in the past few years, he has sometimes been troubled by the selection of players, but he is more worried about the lack of suitable players.

And now?

Lei Lin's appearance also brought him a trace of trouble, the same selective trouble, compared with the previous troubles that no one could choose, the troubles at this time should be regarded as a sweet trouble. (To be continued......)
