Chapter 1195: The Last Pampas
The basketball world of the whole country is digesting this huge victory, but neither the Chinese team nor Li Feng has much time to wait, that is, the next day, the Chinese team will face the opponent in the semifinals.
The opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals is the world's third-ranked Argentina team, which is also the champion of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the runner-up of the 2002 World Championships, the fourth place of the 2006 World Championships, and the runner-up of the 2008 Olympic Games.
Argentina's honors and achievements are no less than those of Spain in international men's basketball, and they have even won a higher achievement than Spain, the World Championship.
The opponent of the Chinese team has always been such a team, but at this time, the Chinese team does not have the previous burden, because Lithuania, which dominates the world men's basketball team, has fallen at their feet, and Spain, which is invincible in Europe, has also fallen at their feet, and the Chinese team has established the confidence of the strong at this time.
Now the Chinese team has won Lithuania and Spain, and has established the belief of a strong man, and now it is facing Argentina, and the Chinese men's basketball team is not entangled, they have created history, have proven themselves, and have the faith to fight with Argentina.
Before the start of the match between China and Argentina, both the media and fans in China were very optimistic about the future of the team.
Argentina is also very low-key and does not make any remarks, the two teams have been holding back, and on match day, the two teams finally stood on the field, and at this time the victory or defeat must be proved with action.
China vs. Argentina, such an important occasion, our great teacher Sun Zhengping naturally came to explain the game again, but today fortunately, Mr. Xu Jicheng came over today to partner with Mr. Sun Zhengping to explain the game, so that some layman's mistakes will definitely rarely happen.
"Hello audience friends! Hello audience friends! Now it's CCTV, it's CCTV, and now we're broadcasting the semifinals of the men's basketball team at the World Championships. The two sides of the game are our Chinese team and the Argentine team, and if we win against Argentina, our Chinese men's basketball team will advance to the final for the first time in history. ”
Mr. Sun Zhengping used his characteristic voice and unchanged routine as the opening remarks of today's game.
Teacher Xu Jicheng said while listening:
'We're close to the semi-finals and we've made history, and every step we've taken since we beat Spain that day has been history.'
"Yes! Our Chinese team is now moving forward with an unprecedented attitude. ”
Teacher Sun's level is relatively high, and he doesn't match Xu Jicheng's words. Continuing to talk to himself, Mr. Xu can only talk about himself because of the difference in level.
"Argentina is a South American powerhouse! Their team initially completed the foundation in the 90s, and reached its peak around 2000, they gathered a large number of excellent players, Argentine players of this generation, can be regarded as Argentina's golden generation, this group of players all the main players have played in the NBA, and the bench players also have strong strength. It's an all-NBA team, and what's even more terrifying is that they have their own unique tactics, even though they are third in the world rankings this year. But their strength is not inferior to Spain, we won Spain by a stunner, and there will definitely be a lot of difficulties in playing Argentina today. ”
Mr. Xu Jicheng himself told the roots of Argentina here, and Mr. Sun Zhengping just finished reading the information. The result was similar to what Mr. Xu said, and there was nothing to say immediately.
At this time, two teams, China and Argentina, entered the field. The referee came over and signaled the game to begin.
As soon as he saw the referee's gesture, Mr. Sun Zhengping became active.
"Audience friends, the game is on, the game is on! Now let's focus on the game. ”
Today's starting lineup of the Chinese team is still point guard Sun Yue, scoring guard Li Feng, small forward Yi Li, big forward Yi Jianlian, and center Zhou Qi, which is the most stable lineup of the Chinese team and the lineup that most reflects the characteristics of the Chinese team.
On the Argentine side, the starting lineup is point guard Paboro Prigioni, scoring guard Manuginobili, small forward Nocioni, power forward Luis Scola, and center Oberto.
The Chinese team is taking a heavy road of combining inside and outside, with two big men over seven feet on the inside, the attack power and control ability of the inside line are very amazing, and the average height is also very tall, and the country is a tall and slow-paced team.
As for Argentina, their tallest is Oberto at 6'10, which is about 2.07 meters. As a big forward, Scola is only 6 feet 9 inches, and the top sky is only 2.05 meters.
This difference determines that Argentina plays basketball from two worlds, the Chinese team is tall, slow and heavy, and Argentina is fast, flexible and gorgeous.
The Chinese team has an absolute height advantage, while Argentina has an absolute speed advantage.
These two teams are very different in terms of characteristics, so today's game is destined to be a battle of pace.
The referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the sky, and Zhou Qi took it for granted to point the basketball to his side on Oberto's head.
Oberto, a player, whether in the Argentine national team or in the Spurs, is doing a pure blue-collar job, he is used to fight and defend, he seems to have experience in scrambling and defense, but it is really lackluster in other aspects, Zhou Qi and him are not under much pressure to fight for the ball at all, at the beginning of such an important game, the Chinese team easily got the ball here.
Sun Yue also advanced to the Argentine half with the ball, but it was in the Argentine half.
Sun Yue was a little dumbfounded, Argentina used a lot of defense in the first round of the opening game, they especially paid attention to the defense of the receiving route of the man without the ball, to put it simply, Argentina used a tactic that Sun Yue hated at the beginning, he let Sun Yue receive the ball, but desperately defended Li Feng and Zhou Qi, and did not let the two internal and external cores of the Chinese team easily get the ball.
This kind of defense is to let the ball be controlled by Sun Yue's hands, and Argentina believes that Sun Yue's control of the ball will cause them the least damage. This kind of defense, do you say that Sun Yue can not get angry when he sees it?
Sun Yue was very angry, but he really had nothing to do in the face of Prigioni on the opposite side, so he could only obediently pass the ball to Li Feng from the side.
Li Feng is on the outside line, and he is still more flexible in receiving the ball, Li Feng only stretched out his hand here, but saw Ginobili jumping from behind Li Feng, and the ultra-low center of gravity actually clicked the ball before Li Feng.
Ginobili cut off the Chinese team's pass at the beginning, and the whole audience suddenly became nervous.
Li Feng is also chasing Ginobili in the back, but Ginobili is a representative of Argentina's golden generation. It's really a bit demonic, Li Feng was also a speed-type small forward before, but he couldn't catch up with Ginobili in the back, and the old bald man didn't want to die, Li Feng scolded secretly.
Ginobili threw the ball out with a very fast left hand, Ginobili is a left-handed player, and his route and way of passing the ball are also different from others, Li Feng didn't notice at all, Ginobili has completed the pass.
Just watch Ginobili throw the ball out quickly. Nocioni, who followed up, received the basketball in the air, and easily pointed the basketball into the basket of the Chinese team with both hands.
Argentina broke the ball at the beginning and played a quick counterattack at the beginning, which can be said to have interpreted their fast counterattack style to the extreme.
At this time, Mr. Xu Jicheng also said on the side:
"Argentina started with a fast break. Cut off the Chinese team's receiving route at the beginning, it seems that Argentina is going to push their fast style to the extreme today, our Chinese team must come up with a way to face this kind of defense! ”
Just when Mr. Xu Jicheng said this. Sun Yue of the Chinese team took the ball again and easily pushed it forward.
Now Argentina just let you Sun Yue hold the ball, Sun Yue has nothing to do with how to get the ball, he just doesn't let others take the ball.
Sun Yue looked at Argentina and despised himself alone. Suddenly, Sun Yue also lost his temper and asked for Zhou Qi's high-position cover, he took a step around Zhou Qi slightly, and took advantage of the momentary opportunity to get up and shoot a three-point shot.
Not to mention, Sun Yue is angry, this three-point shot is still quite accurate.
'Hmmm!'
Sun Yue won the first place for the Chinese team, and also gave Argentina a dismount, telling Argentina that I am not easy to mess with.
Sun Yue made a three-pointer, and the Chinese team quickly retreated back, and at this time, Argentina took the ball again, and they couldn't score simply with a quick counterattack.
At this time, it will be a test, how Argentina gnaws the hard bone of the Chinese team, the Chinese team's position defense is big, there are two seven-foot long people Zhou Qi and Yi Jianlian on the inside, and Li Feng on the outside to guard the defensive gate.
It is quite difficult to gnaw away the positional defense of the Chinese team, and a team like Spain cannot say that it is easy to score on the position of the Chinese team, and the positional defense of the Chinese team is very strong.
Just when everyone was watching how Argentina solved the problem, Argentina opened a formation that ran without the ball on the bottom line at the national half.
Ginobili came up and went to the free throw line through continuous baseline screens to catch the ball, and when Ginobili received the ball, Prigioni came up and made another screen, and Argentina came up and passed the ball to Ginobili with three screens.
Ginobili took the ball, Li Feng ran over desperately, but saw Ginobili take the ball a little to make a shooting feint, Li Feng's feet were slightly hard, Ginobili had already broken through, Li Feng wanted to go over and use his strength to suppress Ginobili, but he saw Ginobili take the ball and walk in front of him, Li Feng instantly lost his mind, and actually let Ginobili give it.
Ginobili, who passed Li Feng, scored two points with an easy left-handed layup.
At the beginning of today, Ginobili broke Li Feng's ball again, and made a layup in front of Li Feng, which suddenly made Li Feng a little embarrassed.
However, at this time, everyone can also see that the Argentine team played China's half, using the number of no-ball runs and fast breakthroughs, which are somewhat similar to Lithuania, but Lithuania has no good breakthrough hands and can only use air cuts, while Argentina has a lot of good breakthrough hands, so they boldly chose to use breakthroughs to open up the situation.
Min Lulei saw Argentina's way of playing on the sidelines at this time, and he was silent, he still needed to observe before he could make a decision on how to deal with Argentina's attack.
After Argentina scored, the Chinese team immediately advanced again, this time Sun Yue advanced over, and Min Lulei shouted on the sidelines No. 7 receiving tactics, No. 7 receiving tactics.
No. 7 tactics listen to his ranking to know that this is a very backward receiving tactic, usually the Chinese team practices less tactics, and there should be fewer tactics, and now Min Lulei uses this tactic to play the game, but also wants to give Argentina a surprise, let the other party see, we don't only have so many moves.
At Min Lulei's roar, Zhou Qi just dragged back and ran to the free throw line, and when he reached this position, Zhou Qi immediately paused, and naturally made a cover, Yi immediately ran up from 45 degrees, and used Zhou Qi's cover to get the ball.
After taking the ball, Yi Li took a step out, and then stabilized it slightly, and then took the basketball back to Zhou Qi.
The moment Zhou Qi got the ball, Yi Jianlian pulled to the bottom corner, the low position was empty, Li Feng ran to the low position, and he stuck Ginobili behind him like a mountain.
The Chinese team adopted a method similar to the big move of Qiankun, which not only allowed Zhou Qi to receive the ball, but also sent Li Feng to the low post.
Zhou Qi saw that Li Feng's position was stuck, and he immediately uploaded it to Li Feng's hand, Li Feng just defended Ginobili's breakthrough very hard, but when it came to the low position, it was Ginobili's turn to have a headache.
Li Feng took the ball and pushed it to the basket in one step, Scola on the side saw that Ginobili couldn't stand it, so he came over to help defend, Li Feng immediately passed the ball to Yi Jianlian who was ambushed in the bottom corner, and Yi Jianlian easily shot two points after receiving the ball in the empty position.
Argentina tore apart the Chinese team's defense with quick and flexible means, and Zhang Guo opened up the situation with a powerful low-post attack.
Both teams are two states and two styles in attack, but they are both very efficient.
The Chinese team opened the game with a 5-4 lead over Argentina by one point.
At this time, when the Chinese team quickly retreated back, Argentina quickly advanced over, and when they were running, they obviously made a position to pull away.
Prigioni dragged the ball back, and Ginobili, Scola, and Oberto all waited on the left side of the court, giving up the right side completely to Nocioni, making a gesture of letting Nocioni and Yi Li go head-to-head.
In terms of running and offensive preparation, Argentina is more meticulous than the Chinese team, and these meticulous things are some indispensable winning factors for a strong team. (To be continued......)
