Chapter 32 The situation is worrying
readx;
On July 19, at half past three in the afternoon, the Chinese team will welcome the second opponent in the Stankovic Cup - Angola. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The African champion is not only the opponent of the Chinese team in the Stankovic Cup, but also the opponent of the same group in the Olympic Games. At the same time, Angola, who is the main force, is also the most powerful opponent in the Stankovic Cup, so this game can really test the strength of the national team, so both fans and the media attach great importance to this game.
In the same way, the whole national team also attaches great importance to this game.
Although Younas has repeatedly stressed that he values this match, reporters still don't believe it.
"You keep saying that you attach importance to this game, but why didn't Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu and Lei Lin appear in the team squad?"
The list announced by the Chinese team before the game did not have the names of Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Lei Lin and Liu Wei.
It's okay to say without Liu Wei's name, after all, he accidentally injured his waist in the game the day before yesterday, and it is normal to miss this game.
But Lei Lin, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu are all very healthy, why are they absent?
'It's an important game, it's a big test for us and it's a game where we get to know the opponent and the opponent will get to know us in this game.
Although Younas said it more implicitly, the meaning was very clear, the purpose of hiding the three of them was not to let Angola know our full strength.
In warm-up matches, it is also very common to encounter opponents in the same group and hide their strength, in order to give the opponent a sense of surprise in the Olympic competition.
But in the case that there are already hidden dangers in the inner line. There are also two inside players hidden, and this arrangement seems a little unreasonable.
Yao Ming, who came back from injury, Wang Zhizhi, who insisted on it, and Zhang Kai, who was skinny.
Will they be able to withstand the onslaught of Angola?
So if Lei Lin is hidden, does it mean that Lei Lin has been confirmed to be a member of the 12-man Olympic squad?
'I believe in our players. They've definitely been able to do well in the game, it's not an impromptu decision, it's been made a decision a long time ago, they've been mentally prepared. As for the 12-man Olympic squad, it will be announced on the 25th, and you will be able to get more accurate information at that time. ”
Above the pre-match press conference. As for the reasons for the absence of Lei Lin, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu, Younas successfully rounded it in front of reporters.
……
In the locker room of the Huanglong Stadium, the players are making final preparations for the game.
"I don't need to go into detail about the importance of this game, guys. What is required of you is to push them as hard as you can, so that they can show a higher level and strength. Kai Zhang, do you have any questions? ”
Although Yi Jianlian, Lei Lin and Zhu Fangyu are missing, Younas is still full of confidence in this game.
"Nope!"
The moment he joined the national team, Zhang Kai knew that he would not be able to enter the 12-man squad. So any warm-up game may be the last game in the national team this year, so Zhang Kai takes every warm-up game very seriously.
And after Lei Lin played in the national team, Zhang Kai's playing time was even more pitiful.
It's enough to play, and it's already satisfied. Not to mention being a starter.
“ok! You have plenty of time to enjoy the game! ”
Today is the 19th, and the 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team has been announced. It's only been a week.
In Younas's heart, the 12 people have already had a choice, but because of Liu Wei's injury, there have been some small changes, but even so, Zhang Kai still can't get his position.
Stankovic Cup gave him a chance, which can be regarded as a kind of praise for Zhang Kai.
……
Rumble!
"The fans were very welcoming. Compared to the previous one, this game was truly packed. The players are already on the pitch. Let's take a look at the starting line-up of the Chinese team today because of Liu Wei's injury. Chen Jianghua got the opportunity to start, Sun Yue performed well in the last game to replace Wang Shipeng, who had been the starter, and the position of small forward was hidden because Zhu Fangyu was hidden, so Ding Jinhui got the opportunity. This is also Ding Jinhui's last chance, if he wants to stay in the national team, he must show his characteristics in this game, the big forward is still Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Kai replaced Yi Jianlian in the center position, and Yao Ming is still sitting on the bench. ”
"In the last game, Yao Ming came back and scored 11 points and 4 boards, and his condition was not bad. If this game can still be won, then the national team will have won 12 consecutive warm-up games! Previously, in the absence of Yao Ming, he won ten consecutive victories, and because the opponent was not strong, the gold content was not very large. The big win in the last game shows that the overall strength and state of the national team are quite good! ”
"And in this game, the national team has to find the opponent's skills and tactics in the game, and at the same time want to win, plus Younas has hidden three big generals, it is indeed a difficult task. The game is about to start, let's get back to it! ”
Beep.
The referee blew the whistle, and the Stankovic Cup match between the Chinese team and Angola officially started in the Huanglong Stadium.
Zhang Kai jumped and easily won the ball for the Chinese team.
Height is the absolute advantage of the Chinese team against Angola, because the highest height of Angola on the field is only 2 meters.
If such a height wants to threaten the basket of the Chinese team under the basket through positional battles, it will seem a little more than enough and lacking.
But their athleticism and punch make up for their lack of height.
Although the Chinese team won the players, after the opening, it was not very smooth.
The Angolan team took advantage of its athleticism and strong impact to frequently impact the Chinese team's penalty area.
Although Zhang Kai has his height and excellent athleticism, he is not able to pose a great threat to Angola's attackers due to his lack of confrontation ability.
2-6。
When there was a technical timeout in the first quarter, the Chinese team trailed their opponents by four points.
"We have encountered some troubles, the Angolan team seems to have identified the shortcomings of the Chinese team, and frequently used the speed there to impact the inside line of the Chinese team, and the lack of deterrence under Zhang Kai's basket has fueled their arrogance."
Younas was convinced of the team's victory over Angola, but the situation after the opening made him frown.
He didn't expect Angola to make a layup and keep using speed to impact his interior.
If Yao Ming is replaced at this time, it will only be a waste of Yao Ming's physical energy.
"Hey, it would be nice if Lei Lin and Yi Jianlian were on the field!"
After muttering, Younas glanced at the players.
"Chen Jianghua, stabilize the rhythm and don't fall into the opponent's fast attack rhythm! Play steady, take advantage of our height, and hit the ball inside! When defending, 3-2 combined defense, try to force them to shoot from the outside. ”
After fine-tuning the tactics, the players took the pitch again and the game continued.
The Chinese team's attack did not blindly choose to break fast, and after stabilizing the rhythm, after passing, the ball was sent to the hands of Zhang Kai on the inside.
Against the opponent's 'center' Gomez, who is only two meters tall, Zhang Kai began to play strongly.
The height disadvantage did not become a burden for Gomez, behind Zhang Kai, he frequently used his speed and footwork to delay Zhang Kai's attack, and from time to time he reached out to pick up the ball to interfere with Zhang Kai.
has never been able to achieve an absolute advantage, which made Zhang Kai irritable.
After dodging Gomez's pick-up, Zhang Kai chose to turn around and shoot directly, and the basketball bounced out directly on the basket.
At this time, the explosiveness of the Angolan players was reflected, and Gomez took a stride, jumped and easily picked up the rebound.
Swish!
Then, on a quick counterattack, hit a three-pointer.
2-9。
I have to admit that as the African champion, Angola's strength is very good. Otherwise, they would not have beaten European powerhouse Russia by 19 points in the opening game of the Stankovic Cup.
Just when the fans were lamenting Angola's strength, Gomez broke through directly and completed a dunk.
2-11。
Unlike the pre-match confidence, after the opening, the national team gradually lost control of the game, and the situation was worrying. (To be continued)
