Chapter 556: Absolute!
On the court, the U.S. team was still a fast attack, Gary Payton quickly advanced to the top of the arc, this time Hu Weidong didn't give him a chance to break in easily, he stopped and retreated, retreated outside the three-point line, and then shot.
Hu Weidong rushed back to jump and block the block, but did not touch the ball.
"Bang!"
But Payton wasn't a god pitcher either, and the ball missed.
After Da Yao grabbed the rebound, Garnett blocked the front and stopped him from passing quickly.
Unlike in the group stage, the Chinese national team did not play fast attack today, Zhou Quan came down to take the ball, advanced to the front court unhurriedly, and only after the rest of the people on both sides had passed, did they pull to the middle and close to the top of the arc.
Kidd was preoccupied and leaned down, ready to deal with the breakthrough of the Iron Fist King.
At the same time, he also opened his ears to notice if someone came up behind him to block and dismantle the Iron Fist King.
"Oh no, fooled!"
But the next moment, Zhou Quan made a fake sudden throw, and after shaking him back, he immediately took a step back, and then shot with three points, and the rhythm was so fast that he didn't have time to defend against it at all.
"Brush!"
The water splashed and hit the three-pointer.
Facing Kidd, who looked a little frustrated, Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Jason, how Gary Payton fought last time, I will fight how to fight, and next time you know how to defend me, right?" ”
“……”
Kidd was stunned, what is this? Teaser of Iron Fist?
"Iron Fist, what do you want to do?
Gary Payton, who was not far away, instantly had a bloodshot brain.
"Click, click, click......"
On the sidelines, those media reporters who were familiar with Zhou Quan excitedly pressed the shutter.
"It started, and I knew that the trailer for Tekken was about to start. No, it's already started. ”
"It's been twice, the first ball broke through the ball, the second time I made a fake sudden real shot, copying the glove way of attacking, haha, it's really exciting!"
"I think Gary Payton must find it exciting!"
"Yes, it must be exciting to be an opponent of the Iron Fist King."
In addition to taking pictures, media reporters are also discussing.
At 3:11, the U.S. team attacked, and Tomjanovic called a timeout.
If you don't call it no, you will be 8 points behind at the beginning, and if you continue to play, you will be less than 10 points behind in half a quarter, and 20 points behind in a quarter, who can stand it?
came up with the strongest defensive lineup of the Dream Four team, but he still couldn't prevent the attack of the Chinese national team, and his own attack couldn't play, so he was in a dilemma again.
There is a big weakness in the dual point guard strategy, and that is the lack of impact.
He wanted to use fast attack and use these players to impact the old and weak lineup of the Chinese national team, but he ignored the lack of impact of this lineup.
Because of these five people, only Ray Allen can really impact the restricted area, whether it is Kidd or Payton, they are both point guards, and their explosive impact is far inferior to that of quarterbacks and small forwards.
And Ray Allen's way of impacting the penalty area is also biased towards dunking, his offensive ability with the ball is too poor Iron Fist King, so he was blocked twice by Iron Fist King just now.
He now realizes that if he wants to keep this lineup, it seems that it will be difficult to play the offense he wants on the offensive end.
After thinking about it, this lineup did not prevent the attack of the Chinese national team anyway, so he simply decided to adjust the lineup.
Don't play double point guard, replace Gary Payton, and replace ...... What about Vince Carter or Alan Houston?
He decided to switch to Carter anyway, after all, Carter prefers to impact the basket rather than favor mid-range shots.
He has some regrets that Kobe Bryant did not participate in this Dream Four team, although Carter is good, he is only good at dunking, and his finishing skills under the basket are not as comprehensive as Kobe.
No, it's not!
He was suddenly stunned, this is about to happen, why not just not point guard?
Thinking of this, his heart also accelerated.
It's a risk, don't be a point guard, go up to three point guards and small forwards who have the impact to the basket, the impact can definitely get up, but without a point guard, it also means that they will fight on their own, can it?
But time waits for no one, he gritted his teeth and decided to try it first, and then adjust it if it doesn't work.
"Gary, you come down first." He said to Peyton.
"What?"
Hearing that he was replaced, Gary Payton's eyes widened, and his heart rushed up.
That guy just targeted me in public, you turned around and replaced me, don't I want to lose face?
Kidd is a good comrade, and what Peyton says is also his hair small, thinking that when he was only a few years old, he learned a good trash talk from Peyton, and he couldn't bear to be embarrassed, and immediately said: "Coach, let me come down first." ”
Tomjanovic shook his head and said: "I mean you all come down, now only Ray can impact the basket, this is not enough, our offense can't be opened, we now have to increase the ability to impact the basket, but also to increase the height of the court, control the rebound, we need to send two more people who can impact the basket and grab the rebound." ”
"What?"
The two were shocked, don't point guards, who is responsible for organizing the offense? What do you want?
"Ray, Vince, Sharif......"
Tomjanovic said to Ray Allen, Carter, and Rahim: "Next you three attack with the ball, I don't expect your organization, you only have one task after you get the ball, to storm their baskets, to beat their two centers, to kill them."
If the Chinese national team didn't have the containment of those two big centers in the low post, they wouldn't be able to beat us on the outside alone, understand? ”
"Understood." The three of them were busy.
Kidd and Payton are in a very frustrated mood, an iron fist king, actually forcing their dream team to dare not ask for a point guard, what kind of threat is this?
"Remember, whoever Iron Fist is with, he has to pull close to the touchline, and the only offensive task is to be responsible for containing Iron Fist." Tomjanovich said solemnly.
"Yes."
"Sheriff, you're also in charge of rebounding. I want you to work with Kevin and Alonzo to suppress the Chinese team on the rebound. The guy you're opposite is a small forward, he's not tall enough, and I'd suggest you pull him down and single him. ”
"Yes."
The timeout ended, and the U.S. team attacked.
Seeing the lineup of the American team, everyone who understands penalties was dumbfounded.
"What is this trying to do?" Jordan was a little stunned and didn't react.
"Don't be a point guard?" Xu Jicheng's eyes also widened.
"Raheem went up, and it was about adding height, increasing control of the rebound. Raheem can also attack with the ball, three or four, inside or outside, plus two defenders, all three can attack with the ball, and they can also pass and assist, and they are not without a little organizational ability. Zhang said reasonably.
"What are the U.S. teams going to do?" Sun Zhenping asked.
Zhang said quickly: "Increase the offensive firepower, and the impact on the basket." Raheem, Carter, and Ray Allen can all be said to be dunks. The reason why I replaced both point guards is because I think it is because even if one is left, it will definitely be locked by Zhou Quan, so it is better to keep none of them.
But I think this method is still too bold, leaving a point guard, you can use the block to replace people to get rid of Zhou Quan, you don't have to go to extremes. ”
Xu Jicheng smiled and said: "Director Zhang wants to dig a hole for the American team, and those teams in the NBA also do it, but it's not so easy to get rid of Zhou Quan." ”
Zhang Li laughed, did not deny it, it was a tacit acquiescence.
Between Vince Carter and Ray Allen, Zhou Quan followed the latter.
Raheem plays small forward in the Grizzlies, but he is the height of a power forward, 206 cm, and he can also play the No. 4 position, and he can't defend it.
Raheem served and gave it to Carter, who pushed forward to the front court against Hu Weidong, at which point Raheem went into the low post on the left wing, Garnett gave up that position, and he passed the ball over.
"Playing Sun Jun in the low position is a little troublesome, and we must strengthen the weak side to help defense." Zhang Li said immediately.
Sun Jun is 8 centimeters shorter than Rahim, and his weight is about the same.
Raheem is strong in attack and weak in defense, has a good pace, is proficient in back play, is good at one-handed throwing after turning in a low position, and also likes to kill and dunk.
After receiving the ball, he arched, and after arching Sun Jun's center of gravity, he immediately turned around and rushed into the penalty area.
Da Yao and Da Zhi returned to the basket at the same time, but at this moment, Raheem burst into shape and made a throw on the left side of the basket to score the ball.
"Sun Jun can't defend against this kind of ball, he is only 198 cm, this is a low-post misplaced single." Xu Ji became a Taoist.
"Our big forward is short of people, and the height of the center position has come up, but the big forward, Gong Xiaobin, has reached a height of two meters, and he hasn't come this time." Sun Zhenping said.
At this time, Jiang Xinquan regretted it and should have brought Gong Xiaobin.
Although that strong seed is two centimeters taller than Sun Jun, he is a real power forward, the best big forward in China, although Sun Jun is the best small forward in China, but the skills of these two positions are completely different.
At 5:11, the Chinese team attacked.
Da Yao went to the basket first, and Garnett no longer carried it like in the group stage, which was too physical, and he took the way of going around the front.
Da Yao had no choice, he came out first, and when Garnett just came out, he suddenly ran back and entered the penalty area again.
His pace is very good, and he is known as the Shanghai Sea Dance Step, and Garnett was also a little caught off guard, and he slowed down by half a beat.
At the top of the arc, Ray Allen defends Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan didn't plan to attack by himself in the first quarter, and his main attack time was usually when Da Yao and Da Zhi were resting, so that they could make more effective use of their physical energy.
His gaze was not in the low post, but on the right wing, as if he was about to pass the ball to Hu Weidong, who was running on the right wing, but Da Yao's every move was under his lock.
At the moment when Da Yao ran back, he also immediately closed the ball, and then pushed to the right wing with both hands.
Lei Allen was fooled, and his center of gravity moved to the right wing, but in the next moment, Zhou Quan withdrew his hands and threw his hands forward, and the basketball flew straight from Lei Allen's head to the left side of the basket.
"Bang!"
Yao Min took two steps into the penalty area and received the ball and completed a two-handed dunk.
Whether it was his reverse run or Zhou Quan's pass, it was very sudden, so that Mo Ning had no chance to return to the basket.
"Absolutely! The cooperation between Da Yao and Zhou Quan is absolutely amazing! Xu Jicheng said in surprise.
"This is supposed to be the usual tactical training, right?" Sun Zhenping said.
