You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 633 Will the old days reappear?No

After Wei Xia returned to the team, some fans pointed out that there were more and more star singles, and the national team lost its previous sense of unity.

Wei Xia was more active than the warm-up match before the Asian Championships last year.

It seemed that he had foreseen his isolated and helpless situation in London in advance, averaging 32 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

The good news is that his possession of the ball is so high, and the average number of turnovers per game does not exceed 3 times.

It's a stat that demonstrates just how solid he is.

It is understandable that the fans expect to see a national team playing as a whole and as a team.

After all, in the national team during Yao Huang's period, no matter how well the little giant played, the upper limit of the national team was only the top eight.

In FIBA ​​games, the influence of the inside line is far stronger than that of the outside line. If Yao Huang is so strong, he can only bring the national team into the quarter-finals. What step can Wei Xia achieve?

On the day of his expedition to London, Wei Xia was asked by a reporter about his goals for the London Olympics.

"The last Chinese team was the top eight. I hope my arrival will not make the team regress." Wei Xia said modestly, "So, we will definitely enter the final eight."

It was a rare time to come to London, and Wei Xia went to visit his grandpa and grandma.

Due to the tight training schedule of the national team and the concern of athletes having accidents outside the Olympic Village, allowing Wei Xia to visit relatives is already opening the back door to the maximum extent.

Wei Xia didn't make progress, so he returned to the national team after the intention was delivered.

The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games was unprecedentedly grand, but the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games was like a hodgepodge, which did not show the meaning of the empire on which the sun never sets at all.

In terms of fun alone, the BBC's complaints may be more interesting than the opening ceremony itself.

When Switzerland played.

"Find Federer! Oh no, he has a game tomorrow and didn't come tonight."

When Libya played.

"Libya in the midst of war, good luck for a whole year dear!"

When Bermuda played.

"No Olympic Games can live without their shorts."

When the Chinese team played, Space Yi, as the standard bearer, attracted exclamations.

"Their flag bearer is too tall! China has always had the tradition of basketball players as flag bearers. China's Liu Xiang withdrew from the last Olympic Games. I wish him good luck this time!" Of course, the BBC couldn't help but speculate in a low voice: "I don't know what they think after comparing our opening ceremony with their own?"

What is certain is that the members of the Chinese team have no domineering ideas.

They just want the game to start as soon as possible.

In relation to the schedule, the men's basketball game is the first event to start. This year, the Chinese team is once again in the same group as the Spanish team.

Spain's narrow defeat at the 2008 Beijing Olympics is a pity in itself.

In the subsequent final, Spain and the United States staged the most exciting matchup in Olympic history.

Chinese fans will no doubt be even more saddened when they think back to when the national team came so close to beating them.

Today, compared with four years ago, it is only the replacement of a few role players, and the replacement of Yao Huang with Wei Xia.

Spain's golden generation remains the number one threat to the United States at the Olympics.

To defend the title, you must pass Spain, which is a consensus.

When Spain faces weak teams, it has always had a tradition of pretending to be dead. Even if the Chinese team gets Wei Xia, their views on the Chinese team have not changed.

From the beginning, they were careless.

Deng Huade's tactics are clear.

The Chinese team started decisively.Defensively gambled and aggressive:
Wei Xia took the lead, pinching out Rudy Ferrandez, who was about to dunk, from the periphery. Liu Wei bravely squeezed through the screen, and his first foul came like this.

When the ball is exchanged, the frontcourt is on the spot with trenches and fences, and the defense is limited to fast breaks.

It may be that the Chinese team made too much defensive intensity. It just started, but they played like the fourth quarter of a knockout game.

And the Chinese team did not slack off at all. The elders blocked the penalty area and the bottom line, and Wei Xia and others on the weak side quickly assisted in the defense.

Spain wanted the Gasol brothers to gain an advantage against Space Yi, but every time they hit the ball to the strong side, they were facing more than just Space Yi.

Someone will help, and Wei Xia will also come to double-team.

The strength of the rotation on the strong side is too high, and Spain wants to make a strong attack on the strong side, so they can only go around the screen and then make a mid-range shot.

Rubio has not practiced a satisfactory jump shot in the NBA for several years, and Calderon can only make the first shot.

However, several defenders in Spain have a mediocre shooting touch. In addition, Wesha completely blocked Ferrandez's performance. Although they paid the price of fouls, Spain did not score a goal in the first half of the quarter and only scored with free throws.

The Chinese team's defense in the first quarter showed boldness, viciousness, decisiveness, and bloodiness, so they took the lead. It looked like a replay of the 2008 home game against Spain.

In the second quarter, Wei Xia continued to fight.

He wasn't tired at all.

Against Ferrandez, he made a strong breakthrough with the ball, changed hands in the air and caused the opponent's third foul, and hit the board.

Calling the pick-and-roll to break through an emergency stop and leaning back, the moment he stagnated in the air, he had the style of an old trapeze.

The results of training are reflected on the field and reflected in the score.

He just scored 9 points in a row, and the Chinese team led Spain by 13 points at most.

Restricted by the overall level, China's game is also a bit simpler, defensively, Deng Huade ordered the players to only block the middle, and rely on the enthusiasm of weak-side players to fill the bottom line.

At the beginning, Spain didn't understand that the situation was still missing, but it took a while to understand.

In the middle of the second quarter, after a timeout, Spain began to copy the back door.

In the second half of the second quarter, Spain began to score.

The disadvantages of one tendon have begun to appear.

From the second quarter, the Chinese team focused on zone defense + accumulation on the strong side, while Spain shifted to the weak side to find three points.

The defense left too many open spaces for Navarro, and even Rubio could take advantage of the chaos to steal points.

Even with Wei Xia, from the perspective of pure honor, the most offensive and defensive player in the NBA at present cannot fill the hole on the weak side.

The Chinese team can't imagine.

The reason why Spain changed the concept in the second quarter was that their high free throw line support was too clever.

Breaking the zone defense, relying on three-pointers outside, and relying on the free throw line to support inside, is known all over the world.In Spain, the two Gasols and Pian are the best high-level supporters in the world, not to mention the three-point points on the two wings.But at this time, China's single-mindedness made another mistake.

Chen Jianghua from Guangdong singled out Calderon a few times, and if Larry Brown or Popovich were to replace him, he would either be sprayed to death or be pissed off on the sidelines.

Deng Huade's attitude towards him is, if you dare to fight hard, then continue, they can't let Wei Xia keep attacking,

Playing and hitting, Chen Jianghua felt that it was coming, and he should have the dribble to get out of the layup, and the dribble to get out of the mid-range shot.

In the second half, the Chinese team's defensive tactics remained the same, guarding the penalty area, standing in the zone, and putting pressure on the strong side. Knowing that Spain will definitely shift to the weak side to find long shots, knowing that the zone defense is easy to miss backcourt rebounds, and knowing that Fernandez's ability to copy the backdoor is world-class, but they still bit down to the end.

On the offensive end, there are two people who have the bottom line.

Wei Xia and Tian Yi.

Before Wei Xia broke out, Kongkongyi scored 6 points in a row. Facing Ibaka, he used all kinds of back-up moves. After scoring 6 points in a row, except that he didn't use the golden rooster to stand alone, the scene was like a reproduction of Dirk's abuse of Ibaka in the 2011 Western Conference Finals.

"It seems unbelievable, but it's true - the Chinese team wants to win!"

The ESPN commentator said it in disbelief.

After the outbreak of Space Yi, the Chinese team once again led by double digits.

Spain just want to wake up from the lazy attitude, they need to find a point of strength.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a gap between the two teams. Why did they play like this?

Someone is always on the pulse of the game.

Spain wants to exert its strength, and Wei Xia knows it.

The outbreak of Kong Tianyi is unsustainable, he has tried his best, and the rest will be left to him.

Holding the ball at the top of the arc, Wei Xia called Tian Yi's pick-and-roll and made an emergency stop for a three-pointer. For him, that distance was just a long-range mid-range shot in the NBA.

"Shh!"

"I may still shoot like this in the next round, please pay attention." Wei Xia said to Ferrandez, who was blasted by him on both offense and defense all night.

He and Ferrandez still have a past.

In the past, he landed in the NBA with Gasol Jr., which coincided with Weixia's torn ACL reimbursement season. His outstanding performance and the joining of Ron Artest during the offseason made the Lakers firm in their idea of ​​​​giving up Weixia.

It can be said that the Lakers gave up Wei Xia, there are three main parts.

The prejudice against Wei Xia at the highest level is the main reason, and the rise of Ferrandez and the joining of Artest are the two major incentives.

Today is Wei Xia's chance to indirectly prove once again how big a mistake the Lakers made through this stage.

Ferrandez defended hard and waited until the next round.

Wei Xia's words must be practiced. In the same position, he didn't call the pick-and-roll, but pulled up after shaking and then shot.

Again!

"I hate fighting like this." Wei Xia said playfully, "Please stop me, please please."

He let Ferrandez's mentality explode, and then scored 23 consecutive points, shooting 100%.The only ball he conceded was a three-pointer at the buzzer in the third quarter.

Before the game, the fans thought about the result of the game.

The Chinese team will fight hard, losing miserably, narrowly, and narrowly. The latter two results require Wei Xia to have an astonishing explosion.

Only no one thought that the Chinese team would beat Spain by double digits.

The game is over, wipe your eyes, 89 to 78.

Yes, exactly.

It is to defeat Spain, the recognized No. [-] rival of the Dream Team, with a double-digit advantage!
Wei Xia and Space Yi scored 70 points and 23 rebounds. The secret of the Chinese team's winning is so simple, it depends on the dual core inside and outside.

Wei Xia's attitude towards winning is cautious.

He will never take the victory over Spain as an honor.

"We want to continue to win. Promotion is our only goal now." Wei Xia said firmly, "It's good to beat Spain, but we have to look forward and must not stand still."
