Chapter 1180: Don't Fall Behind
Zhou Qi started the game successfully, and immediately the momentum of the fans in the audience came up.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa"
The stadium was full of cheers and applause, and the home advantage of the Chinese team was undoubtedly revealed at this time.
Under the pressure of China's strong home stadium, Spain is clearly lonely, with dozens of Spanish fans cheering for the team in the corner of the huge Wukesong Stadium.
However, at this moment, Spain did not feel depressed, but all of them were very grim and resolute.
At this time, when it came to the backcourt to get the ball, West played point guard Calderon and also loudly used Spanish to refer to his teammates.
Spain is indeed a strong team, pampered and not surprised, under the pressure of the opponent's strong home field, it has not been affected at all, this mentality and sophistication are indeed not possessed by the Chinese team.
The pace of Spain was obviously much faster than that of the country, and the ball was pushed into the half of the Chinese team.
And the position of Spain's rapid advance is also quite particular, with the team's defenders and forwards all postponed.
Gasol ran quickly and ran directly to the basket of the Chinese team, which is a tactic in Spain NBA that the Celtics are commonly used in, so that Garnett's fast movement ability and low-post singles ability can be brought into play.
Gasol beat Zhou Qi like this today, but also made a foresight in advance, first Zhou Qi's running ability is not as good as his own, such a long distance to run past the card position, it must be easier than the position on the position.
Then use this method to create space and have enough space in advance.
However, with this style of play, there is a more stringent condition, which requires the big man who implements this style of play to have the ability to handle the ball quickly, that is to say, to be able to run fast, run quickly, receive the ball quickly, and complete the attack immediately after receiving the ball.
This series of fast, connected down. The requirements are really very high, and the big ones in the world who can complete this set of quick tactical requirements are definitely no more than a slap in the face.
But Gasol is one of the few people who are like this, Gasol's side is running over quickly, choking Zhou Qi enough, Zhou Qi's side is just rooted, Gasol has already stuck in the position to get the ball.
Gasol, who got the ball, turned over and made a fake breakthrough dribble action towards the bottom line, Zhou Qi ran over and his footsteps were unsteady, Gasol came to fake here, and Zhou Qi could only follow him.
But that's it. Zhou Qi lost his position, and Gasol quickly turned around and threw the basketball into the basket of the Chinese team with an extremely soft hand.
Spain also scored. The two strikers on either side of the game scored in quick succession, but the way and style of scoring were completely different.
Zhou Qi's side is taking the road of hard bridges and hard horses, the traditional road of standing on the pile, and Gasol is taking the road of rapid change.
As soon as the opening performance was made, the tactical coordination was world-class.
The Chinese team's bottom line kicked off again, and this time the Chinese team still played Zhou Qi's low position first, but Zhou Qi's position was not very good and a little far.
That's it. The Chinese team immediately adjusted their tactics slightly and shifted the focus of their attack to the outside.
Li Feng and Zhou Qi played a high-position blocking and dismantling cooperation, Zhou Qi's cover was definitely among the top five in the world, and he covered Li Feng. Li Feng has a lot of opportunities, and Li Feng is also a first-class star in the NBA, so the combination of such two people is definitely not as simple as 1+1.
A cover is of high quality. An individual offense has a high level, and Li Feng took advantage of a cover from Zhou Qi and directly crushed into Spain's inner line.
Ibaka's side came up to help. Li Feng took a very standard, very beautiful European figure-eight step, dodged Ibaka and then got up and scored two points with an easy layup.
Zhou Qi finished the show, Li Feng followed, and the representatives of the Chinese team's internal and external lines showed their strength.
Spain won the ball and kicked off quickly in the backcourt, and their tempo was slightly faster than that of the Chinese team, pushing the basketball into the Chinese team's half.
In the half of the Chinese team, the Spanish side also changed, and the offensive route was also shifted from the low position just now to the outside.
Gasol mentioned 45 degrees to the right as a screen, and Calderon and Navarro directly used Gasol as an axis to do cross-screen.
Originally, Navarro, who was targeted by Li Feng, was more threatening than Calderon on the offensive end, because Calderon was a more traditional point guard, and in terms of scoring methods, the way of playing the ball was more traditional, with long-range shooting and breakthrough as the main means of scoring.
Navarro, on the other hand, is more "demonic", Navarro's offensive style is throwing and throwing, he can quickly run at any point in the next lap of the basket, and the hit rate is not bad, so he got the nickname "bomb".
Because Navarro is a "demon", he is difficult to keep an eye on, and Min Lulei gave him to Li Feng to take care of him before.
But now Navarro and Calderon are using Gasol as the axis to do cross cover, Li Feng was stuck all of a sudden, and watched Navarro slip away in front of him, not counting the fact that Sun Yue, who switched positions with himself when Navarro slipped away, was a little slower.
After just such a slowdown, Gasol seized the opportunity to pass the basketball to Navarro, who was open for a moment.
Navarro received the ball and instead of making his trademark throw, he shot a three-pointer with a very quick hand.
"Huh"
The ball is scored, Spain's outside line is not easy to mess with, China has a Li Feng, but Spain has a pair of guards who can play the main force in the NBA.
This time, both teams are facing each other, the Chinese team has Zhou Qi on the inside line, and Gasol on the Spanish side is also a big striker.
The Chinese team has Li Feng on the outside, but Spain has a pair of excellent defenders on the outside, and the two of them are also on top of Li Feng.
The Chinese team has jumping people like Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhelin inside, and Spain is versatile and good at fighting tough Ibaka.
The inside and outside of the two teams are basically balanced, what China has, Spain has all, and Spain has all the advantages of the state.
In any aspect, the Chinese team has no outstanding advantages, the Chinese team can complete the offensive method, and Spain can also complete it. These two teams, like looking in the mirror, have the same basic structure of the team, and their style of play is basically based on the inside line and stable half-court offense.
In this way, when the two teams meet together, they feel a little uncomfortable and awkward for each other, because of their original advantages, the other party also has them, and beating them is the same as beating themselves, so there is no way to easily find weaknesses and beat them.
The two teams played back and forth for two rounds. Yu Jia also said briefly at this time:
"At the beginning of today's game, the two teams were really evenly matched, and there were vague similarities in style, but China was tougher and Spain played more."
Director Zhang also said:
"Of course, we and Spain are both teams with the inside striker as the core, although there are differences, but everything is the same, the core of the two teams is the striker position. Therefore, there must be similarities in the playing styles of the two teams. ”
While the two of them were talking, the country and Spain exchanged two more rounds.
The score of the two teams became 8-9, and the Chinese team fell slightly behind by one point.
The score is very close between the two teams. The situation on the court is also very stalemate, the national side plays the inside line, Spain also has the tactics of playing the inside line, and the Chinese team relies on Zhou Qi's high cover to play the outside line. Spain also relied on Gasol to play the perimeter for the axis.
The two teams are too similar, and the strong points before each other all have characters that can be restrained. Such a game makes both teams completely unable to play, and both teams are in a tense and fierce confrontation.
Li Feng was also fighting on the court at this time, but today he was a little helpless.
Because today he has to deal with not one person, but two, or even three, Calderón and Navarro often change positions when they play, and the position of this point guard in Spain is not clear, Calderón and Navarro both have a certain amount of attacking power, and they both have certain organizational skills, so they often change places, and the two of them are very easy to change.
But this time it will be hard for Li Feng, and Li Feng will often face the change of position between the two people.
In this way, Li Feng is a little unable to find the point, because the requirements for defending Navarro and Calderón are completely different, and in such a complicated situation, Gasol and Ibaka often come up to respond.
In this way, Li Feng is equivalent to serving three or four people in turns, and the defensive pressure is quite large, at this time Li Feng has three heads, and he can't block the combined attack of three or four of them.
used to play other teams, all of them had a core on the outside, Li Feng blocked one, and the opponent's attack power was reduced by at least three percent, but now Spain is full of cores, Navarro and Calderón can call, Gasol and Ibaka also have the ability to respond, Li Feng's oppressive defense, some can't find the direction to break through.
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team and the Spanish team attacked each other in a very similar way.
By the fourth minute of the first quarter, the two teams still couldn't tell the winner, and the Chinese team was only one point ahead of Spain at 12-11.
At this time, Spain's head coach Hernandez had a calm face and seemed to have no dissatisfaction with the situation.
But Min Lulei was a little anxious on the side of the court, because such a stalemate was actually very unfavorable to the Chinese team.
The main lineup of the Chinese team does have the capital to call the board with Spain, the main level of the two teams is not much different, but the substitutes are different, Spain's bench lineup is much thicker than the country, they also sit on the bench with the Spanish golden boy Rubio, the magical fast gunner Fernandez, Gasol Jr., and a number of excellent players, Spain's bench lineup, not worse than the main force, put it in other countries are the absolute main force.
Such a substitute lineup is not available in the Chinese team, so Min Lulei does not want to see the team stalemate with Spain until the bench stage and then decide the winner.
With such a mood, Min Lulei couldn't help but shout loudly on the sidelines:
"Play aggressively, play aggressively."
The Chinese team must occupy a certain advantage in the regular stage, and this time is the time when the ball returns to the Chinese team.
Spain's defense is reflected on the field, different from Australia's arrogance, and Lithuania's precision, Spain's defense does not look very tough, but all positions are still strong, they are tenacious, and the defensive performance is not very "strong" but very "tough".
When the Chinese team arrived in the Spanish half, it was not easy to find opportunities for the back and forth transmission from the outside, so at this time, the teammates threw the basketball to Li Feng.
Li Feng took the ball and immediately asked for Zhou Qi's cover, and used Zhou Qi's cover to dribble the ball directly to the free throw line.
Li Feng had the capital to stop and jump in front of Gasol, Gasol hurriedly pounced outward, at this time, Li Feng flew up, and his fingers were about to start plucking the ball, but he saw Zhou Qi inserted into Spain's inner line one step, and Spain's inner line happened to be empty.
Li Feng's shooting wrist immediately changed the arc, turning the shooting into a pass, the route of the pass is different from the shooting, Gasol pounced this time, nothing was pounced, and the basketball just reached Zhou Qi's hand.
Zhou Qi took the ball in the low position, and naturally unceremoniously got up with a one-handed dunk.
"Click!"
Zhou Qi dunked, and with the action of dunking, the fans immediately responded, and the whole audience was cheering, and the home court was able to fully exert the momentum of the team.
The Chinese team scored points under the basket here, Spain immediately turned around and quickly wanted to pounce on the Chinese team's half, at this time Li Feng directly pounced to intercept Calderon who controlled the ball, Li Feng used the defense against the ball to slow down Spain's rhythm, and after Li Feng put pressure on Calderon, Calderon's ball was not easy to wear out.
At this time, Gasol had to save to catch the ball on the three-point line, and Calderon saw that Gasol had arrived, and he immediately threw the basketball to Gasol's side.
Gasol is tall and has a lot of control, making it much easier to pass the ball to him than to others.
Gasol reached out to get the ball, turned his head and looked, Zhou Qi took a step back to defend himself, Gasol International Men's Basketball Team has three-point ability, but it is not stable, and he did not choose to shoot by himself at this time.
But after taking the ball, he broke through Zhou Qi directly in the frame, Gasol's pace was faster than Zhou Qi, but it was not easy to break through Zhou Qi on the three-point line, Zhou Qi stood up and leaned on Gasol, and Gasol immediately gave the basketball to Navarro on the outside.
Gasol is so powerful, too versatile, he can play from anywhere, he can play anything.
This is obviously a temporary forced helpless cooperation, and it also makes Gasol play well.
Navarro was one step away from the three-point line, receiving the ball and shooting straight for three points. (To be continued......)
