The opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the quarterfinals, Serbia, is, to some extent, a stronger opponent than Argentina.

The two may be indistinguishable in terms of team strength, but at this stage when Ginobili retired and Scola aged, Argentina no longer had a core player who could be the main player in the NBA.

But Serbia is different.

Nikolai. Jokic was one of the candidates for MVP in the regular season last season, averaging 20 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game in the regular season last season, and will win the 20-21, 21-22 seasons of regular season MVP in the future, and his strength is undoubtedly the top level in the league.

When facing Argentina, the Chinese men's basketball team basically relied on Wang Feng's personal ability to win, which Serbia can also do, after all, with the current internal level of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is quite difficult to prevent Jokic, a heavy center who weighs 129 kilograms.

The United Arab Emirates can't do it, and Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin's two thin bamboo poles are even more impossible.

Therefore, fans who know a little bit about penalty kick have begun to worry about the Huaguo men's basketball team before the game between the two teams starts

Can the Chinese men's basketball team withstand Jokic's offense?

Gong Luming has been having a headache with this problem.

Who should defend Jokic against Serbia?

Then, Wang Feng took the initiative to find him.

"Coach Gong, in the next game, let me defend Jokic."

When Wang Feng said this, Gong Luming almost thought that he had heard it wrong.

Let Wang Feng defend Jokic?

He hadn't even thought about it.

As we all know, Wang Feng is best at outside defense, and his interior defense ability can even be used as a shortcoming at first, until he has gradually improved in recent years, showing good defensive ability on the inside.

But even so, when he was with the Lakers, Wang Feng would only occasionally mark the interior most of the time, and most of the time he would put more energy and efficiency on the outside defense that he was better at.

It is obviously not a wise move to let Wang Feng defend the interior star who is also considered the top level in the NBA.

Moreover, Wang Feng also needs to take on a lot of offensive firepower responsibilities for the Huaguo men's basketball team on the court, and focusing more on defense may cause him to be distracted, and the efficiency of the offensive end will also be affected.

However, Wang Feng has his own considerations.

It's true that he's not good at interior defense, but that's only relatively.

The interior defense, which has reached 90, has made Wang Feng's defensive ability under the basket stronger than most NBA defensive interior lines, and now the only thing that restricts his defensive efficiency under the basket is only a little height.

Wang Feng thought about it, and it was better for him to keep an eye on Jokic.

In fact, in terms of scoring alone, the most eye-catching in Serbia is Bojan. Bogdanovic, Bogdanovic averaged 22 points per game in the group stage, while having two 30+ scoring performances.

Wang Feng, as the strongest outside defender in the same position as Bogdanovic, should have prevented Bogdanovic to death.

But he is well aware that Bogdanovic is only the highest scoring point in Serbia on the surface, and the real heart of this team is Jokic.

Although not particularly outstanding in terms of personal data, Jokic's ability to respond as a center has revitalized the entire Serbian tactical system, allowing the whole team to play smoothly and smoothly.

So far in the Men's Basketball World Cup, Serbia has the most offensive firepower among the 32 teams, averaging 115.5 points per game, which is exactly the level that can only be achieved in a 48-minute game in the NBA, and this is inseparable from Jokic's contribution.

Wang Feng could have kept Bogdanovic on the whole game and made his whole game out of shape, but even so, Serbia could still find other scoring points to continue to maintain the team's offensive efficiency.

Therefore, Wang Feng believes that getting Jokic is the key to defeating Serbia.

What he has to do is not how to defend Jokic to the death, but to do everything possible to entangle and consume Jokic's physical energy to the maximum.

Jokic weighs nearly 129 kilograms, and he is also the core of the team's offense and defense, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

Wang Feng's self-confidence comes from the purple badge he just redeemed this summer, the powerful terminator.

This badge allows him to reduce his physical depletion in direct physical confrontations, and the extent of the reduction is quite noticeable when this badge reaches the Purple Hall of Fame level.

Wang Feng, whose physical fitness has already reached 98, with a purple powerful finisher, can completely entangle Jokic throughout the whole process, exhausting him, and his own offense will not be affected too much.

All right...... This way is a bit of a trick, but Wang Feng can't help it.

When the overall strength of the team is weak, if you want to win smoothly, you can only think of some other ways, after all, Wang Feng can't really expect that he alone can compare to the five Serbian players in offensive firepower.

He told Gong Luming all his thoughts and plans.

Although Director Gong recognized Wang Feng's tactical ideas, he was still a little worried.

Can Wang Feng really carry Jokic, who weighs nearly 130 kilograms? And even if he can really bear it, how much physical strength can he exert on the offensive end when he consumes so much physical energy on the defensive end?

However, worries are worries, but Gong Luming can't think of any other better way.

Being able to contain Jokic and disrupt Serbia's tactical fluidity is obviously an easier way to win.

Therefore, after some entanglement, he still agreed to Wang Feng's proposal.

"Wang Feng, this is a dangerous move, if it doesn't succeed, not only will the team lose, but also your data in this game will definitely be greatly reduced, and it is very likely that you will be regarded as the main culprit of the team's loss." Gong Luming looked at Wang Feng and said solemnly: "You are now in the rising period of your career, which has a great impact on you, are you really ready for this?" ”

"Of course." Wang Feng nodded without thinking.

As the core leader of a team, if you don't even dare to take this risk, how can you expect to lead the team to victory?

What's more, Wang Feng didn't feel that he would have the kind of situation that Gong Luming was worried about at all.

Purple Hall of Fame-level powerful finishers are not to be put on a good look, and the men's basketball World Cup is only 10 minutes in a single quarter, and the whole game is 40 minutes.

If it weren't for these factors, he wouldn't have come to ask for help.

……

September 11, the quarterfinals of the Men's Basketball World Cup.

"Welcome to the quarterfinals of the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, which is now going on, is the showdown between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Serbian men's basketball team, the winner of both sides will enter the semifinals, and the loser will be eliminated and can only participate in the subsequent 5-8 qualifying rounds."

"Therefore, this game has no way out for either the Chinese men's basketball team or Serbia, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, let us cheer for the athletes of China!"

With the opening of the commentator, the Wukesong Gymnasium resounded with cheers like a tsunami.

The home advantage of the Chinese men's basketball team in the home country is quite obvious.

In the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the players of both teams took the stage.

Everyone knows very well that for the Chinese men's basketball team, this will be a difficult battle, and the key to winning the game is most likely to be the performance of Wang Feng and Jokic, the two core players of their respective teams.

In the live broadcast rooms of major portals, countless fans have begun to enthusiastically swipe the screen and express their views on this game.

"Come on Wang Feng! If you score 60 points in this game, the Huaguo men's basketball team will be able to win the game! ”

"Jokic is a little hard to mess with, can the UAE and Zhou Qi withstand it?"

"I support the Chinese men's basketball team, kill Serbia, kill the United States, and reach the finals to compete for the championship!

！ ”

……

While the audience and fans were discussing very hotly, the two commentators of the CCTV Sports Channel were also discussing the game.

"In this game, in fact, everyone knows very well that the key to the outcome of the game is the play of Wang Feng and Jokic, and our side must do whatever it takes to smooth out Serbia's advantage on the inside, and not let the opponent get too many good opportunities on the inside."

"Similarly, for the Serbian men's basketball team, what they need to do is how to limit Wang Feng's success, but we have also seen before that Wang Feng's technical characteristics are different from Antetokounmpo, he is a player who is very suitable for playing the rules of the international basketball league, ultra-long range, fast breakthrough, and stable mid-range shooting, which are the most feared by joint defense tactics."

"In the first round of the group stage, in order to limit Wang Feng's play, several other teams used the extreme tactic of full-court double packing, and the result was that we saw a Wang Feng who averaged double assists per game, and the package had no effect on him."

"In the second round of the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team faced Argentina, who learned the lessons of several teams in the first round, and did not choose to wrap Wang Feng but strengthened the defense of other players in the Chinese men's basketball team, trying to isolate Wang Feng, and then he broke the single-game scoring record of the men's basketball World Cup......"

Now, the CCTV sports channel commentary on the basketball game is much easier and easier, as long as Wang Feng is caught and blown without a brain, as long as Wang Feng is blown, more than ninety percent of the national audience absolutely loves to listen.

Besides, they're not really bragging, they're just stating the facts, Wang Feng is so strong, what's the solution?

After touting it for a while, the commentary style changed. "Well, we see that the starters on both sides have already appeared, and on the Huaguo men's basketball team, the starting five are Guo Allen, Zhai Xiaochuan, Wang Feng, UAE, and Zhou Qi."

"The starting five of the Serbian men's basketball team are Varissiya. Misić, Bogdanovic, Belicha, Boban, Marjanovic and Nikolai. Jokic. ”

tomato

"The center of both sides jumped the ball in the circle, Zhou Qi relied on the advantage of height, arm span and bounce to successfully win the jump ball, the ball was directly given to Wang Feng, Wang Feng held the ball and advanced to the right side of the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, oops! How far away is it from the three-point line, and you are already jumping and shooting! ”

"The Serbian men's basketball forward Belica, who is responsible for defending Wang Feng, obviously didn't expect Wang Feng to be so decisive on the first shot, the speed of the defense was slow, the basketball went into the net, and the three points were effective!"

"It seems that Wang Feng feels very hot in this game, which is good news for the Huaguo men's basketball team, as long as Wang Feng's scoring efficiency is guaranteed, then the offense of the Huaguo men's basketball team will not be bad, and then as long as you can limit Jokic's play as much as possible, you can ......"

The narrator's passionate commentary suddenly stopped, and then the voice rose a few degrees.

"Now it's Serbia's ball control, we see that Wang Feng actually stood in front of Jokic, is he ready to defend Jokic himself?"

"Oops! This is not a good idea, although such enthusiasm is worth encouraging, but Wang Feng is only 2.01 meters tall, facing Jokic who is 2.11 meters, the height gap is too big, and Jokic is more than 20 pounds heavier than Wang Feng, and this tonnage Wang Feng is not very easy to carry. ”

Both commentators were a little anxious.

"There is really no need for this, as long as Wang Feng can ensure his efficiency at the scoring end, it is already the greatest help to the Chinese men's basketball team, basketball is not a 1-on-5 game, Wang Feng must learn to believe in his teammates, UAE and Zhou Qi must have a way to limit Jokic."

The audience in the live broadcast room and in the arena couldn't help but get nervous.

On the court, however, Jokic was already frowning.

"What is this guy, what are you trying to do?"

Before entering the inside line, Wang Feng had already started wrestling with Jokic.

He stood in front of Jokic and squeezed the other party out with all his might.

Although Jokic's weight tonnage is relatively large, Wang Feng's strength of up to 88 gives him a certain amount of capital that can compete with Jokic.

It took a lot of effort for Jokic to finally get in his position under the basket and raise his hand for the ball.

With his back to Wang Feng receiving a pass from his teammates, Jokic used his nimble inside footwork to successfully trick Wang Feng's center of gravity, and then scored a low-handed layup.

3:2。

Although he managed to score a goal by Wang Feng, Jokic was not very happy.

It's too much work.

Just an ordinary offense, Jokic spent a lot of effort, entangled with Wang Feng from the outside to the inside, and even had to keep resisting Wang Feng when he was back.

It's all about incarnating Drummond. Green-style defense.

Green, who is also 2.01 meters tall, is the only player in the Warriors' Death Five who can top a big center, and he can be said to do everything on the court, doing everything to interfere with any big man center who tries to hit him with his back.

Green's ability on the offensive end can be hacked casually, but in the desperate level of defense, especially interior defense, Green definitely doesn't get black.

Jokic, who has experienced Green's defense more than once, feels that the oppressive force brought by Wang Feng just now is not much more than Green's!
