I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 313 Victory in the First Battle
After some heart-to-heart talk, Harris, as the head coach of the men's basketball team, finally delegated power to He Li, who took full power to play and lead the men's basketball team.

He Li also lived up to Harris' expectations. At the beginning of the third quarter, He Li quickly led the men's basketball team to tie the score.

At the beginning of the second half, the competition between the two sides was very fierce.

The men's basketball team failed to succeed in the first attack, but the Spanish team continued to charge with Pau Gasol.

This time, Gasol did not force Yao Ming inside, but like Yao Ming, he pulled the outside to shoot.

With a precise three-pointer, Gasol scored another three points for the Spanish team, and the Spanish team achieved an 3-point advantage for the first time.

However, in the next round, He Li quickly responded with a three-pointer, reducing the point difference to within 10 points.

Immediately afterwards, He Li led the other players of the men's basketball team to step up their defense through his own defense. The overall effective defense of the men's basketball team caused the Spanish team to lose successively.

On the contrary, for the men's basketball team, He Li first scored two consecutive three-pointers.

Afterwards, Yao Ming stormed everyone under the basket and succeeded.

In this regard, the men's basketball team played an 2-8 shock wave in just 0 minutes, directly stopping the Spanish team.

Although there is still a 3-point gap between the two sides, at this juncture, it is the Spanish team that really needs to worry.

He Li has regained the feeling of playing, and there is no problem in leading the team.

In fact, the Spanish team played well, but the men's basketball team was in excellent form suddenly, all players were online, and they regrouped and regained their winning momentum.

If things go on like this, the Spanish team will naturally be unable to resist the aggressive men's basketball team, and will eventually be beaten helplessly by the men's basketball team.

"I think it is necessary to further restrict He Li!" Gasol said.

To put it bluntly, the men's basketball team chased 8 points in a row, mainly relying on He Li to hit two consecutive three-pointers.

After the intermission, the returning Spanish team was a little slack even though they had the advantage.

If he continues to stay behind in the first half and presses the men's basketball team, it is impossible for He Li to get the shooting space so easily, take a free shot from one or two steps away from the three-point line, and hit the ball.

Now it's an international league, with zone defense and double-teaming available.

In other words, Jordan's Law is still valid.

The two double-teamed He Li, and another two were sent to stare at Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. Then according to He Li's previous team play, he would only distribute the ball to the other two outside pitchers.

However, other shooters in the men's basketball team actually don't have a high shooting percentage, even in the case of open shots.

"I will stare at Yao Ming!" Gasol continued by setting an example.

From Gasol's point of view, the outside players on their team resolutely double-teamed He Li, making it difficult for He Li to make a shot, and then let him stare at Yao Ming every step of the way, making Yao Ming unable to catch the ball and make a comfortable shot. At that time, the offensive firepower of the men's basketball team will naturally drop.

Judging from the information obtained by the Spanish team so far, Yi Jianlian, another insider of the men's basketball team, really does not have the ability to attack independently, mainly relying on He Li to feed the cake.

He Li is facing double-teaming, and it is not easy to play the ball. At this time, the Spanish team only needs to send someone to pay attention to Yi Jianlian, then I am afraid that it will be easy to lock Yi Jianlian.

In addition, it can also lock the outside shooter on the strong side, at least step forward to interfere, and probably limit his shooting percentage.

It's just that after the timeout ended, the men's basketball team was not as easily restricted as the Spanish team imagined.

He Li is a super giant, the top super giant in the NBA, even in the international league, he is also a super giant!
Super giants cannot be prevented from death, and super giants can only be slightly restricted. For example, Payton defended Jordan into Kobe.

If He Li is guarded by Garnett's level of inside defense, He Li's shooting percentage will drop a lot, but at least if the Spanish team's outside players double-team, He Li can ignore the defense in most cases.

With He Li's height and shooting characteristics, even if he faces double-teaming on the outside, it is equivalent to finding an open space and performing singles against others.

Of course, the Spanish team's double-teaming of He Li still has some impact, and He Li's physical consumption has intensified.

Faced with this situation, He Li also had to pay attention to it.

In the Olympics, there is more than one game, and he is already exhausted from a long battle, and he hasn't had a long rest this summer.

Fortunately, the men's basketball team does not have to rely on He Li to attack alone.

Faced with double-teaming, He Li first adopted a tough offensive attitude and stunned Spain's outside line.

Just when the Spanish team had nothing to do with He Li, He Li suddenly started to pass the ball again, taking advantage of the other points of the Spanish team's negligence, to assist his teammates to score points.

Li Nan, who was originally going through the motions in the third quarter, didn't just go shopping after playing. Under He Li's series connection, he made two consecutive three-pointers and hit a goal anyway.

From the perspective of scoring efficiency, it's not bad.

Halfway through the third quarter, Battelle, who re-entered the court, also ate two cakes with the help of He Li, making up for Yao Ming's absence and the lack of scoring inside.

On the contrary, the Spanish team, because Gasol had too many thoughts on Yao Ming in the first half, and his physical strength was relatively high. He was not on the court at this time, and the internal strength of the Spanish team declined, which gave the men's basketball team some opportunities.

It was also after Gasol left the field that the Spanish team, which had not had time to make adjustments, was hit by a 9-0 offensive climax by the men's basketball team. The two teams that were originally evenly matched lost their balance instantly.

The men's basketball team regained control of the rhythm of the game, and under the control of He Li, the Spanish team was firmly suppressed.

In order to avoid any accidents, He Li did not plan to rest in the third quarter.

If the situation is good, He Li will choose to rest for four to five minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Fortunately, the men's basketball team is good at playing downwind. Whenever the Spanish team calls for a timeout, Harris will take the initiative to ask He Li for his opinion, and whether the next substitution arrangement is in line with He Li's wishes.

Harris respects He Li, and He Li will naturally not show off too much.

For Harris' substitution strategy, He Li did not refuse, but only occasionally made a small suggestion.

Ever since, in the third quarter, the young player Zhu Fangyu who was looking for a feeling was replaced, and he also made a three-pointer.

It's just that Zhu Fangyu made one of three shots, and his efficiency is not high. It can only be said to make do with it, after all, he is still a teenager.

With the end of the third quarter, the score on the court has reached 77 to 71, and the men's basketball team has re-established a 6-point advantage.

Although they did not expand the point difference to more than 10 points, they can keep suppressing the Spanish team. This momentum is good.

In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming led the team on stage, and Wang Zhizhi cooperated with Yao Ming to help Yao Ming open up space.

The men's basketball team relies on a one-star shooting configuration, with a 35% three-point shooting rate, and slowly consumes the game time until He Li has enough rest to play again.

Yao Ming's defense at the basket is not as strong as He Li, especially in assist defense, Yao Ming is not good at it.

However, because the Spanish team used up a lot of energy in the first three quarters, and they were all starting lineups in the fourth quarter, the Spanish team did not play the game very fast, so even if they were chasing points, they were chasing very slowly.

By the time He Li returned to play, the Spanish team had chased the score to within 4 points.

However, it was different after He Li played.

He Li played a No. [-] tactic when he came up.

"European step pulls up the layup, and the aerial confrontation still scores the ball!
It's unbelievable that He Li made such a difficult shooting action so casually!
Perhaps only after he failed to defend He Li with all his strength, can he understand the strength of He Li. "

Who would have thought that in the first three quarters, he relied on shooting to save energy, but in the fourth quarter, He Li fired all his firepower as soon as he came up, scoring by breaking through the basket.

Moreover, He Li's breakthrough score was no worse than a three-pointer. He Li succeeded in a layup after a confrontation at the basket. Because Gasol was a little anxious to defend, he moved a little too much, so he received a foul.

It has to be said that He Li's achievements in the NBA and the reputation he has built will also play a role in Europe.

If Yi Jianlian hits the basket instead, he probably won't be given the chance to add a penalty.

When He Li made an additional free throw, He Li once again helped the men's basketball team expand their three-point advantage.

For the fourth quarter when the game time has passed half, these three points are particularly important.

Gasol's defensive foul at the basket was also his fourth personal foul in this game.

He Li obviously noticed this.

In the NBA, six fouls are sent off, while in FIBA, five fouls are sent off.

Just imagine, the most important player of the national team has accumulated four fouls when the team is behind and there is not much time left in the fourth quarter. What kind of psychological pressure will this bear?
The vast majority of core players, when faced with a five-foul crisis, will choose to reduce collisions, reduce defense, and try to avoid being fouled by the opponent as much as possible.

And Gasol is an inside player, he guards the basket.

At this time, as long as someone in the Chinese men's basketball team is willing to keep hitting the basket, even if the shooting rate does not exceed 50%, there may be a lot of gains.

Ever since, in the next two rounds, He Li still insisted on hitting the basket and finding trouble with Gasol.

Sure enough, Gasol was a little timid and didn't dare to defend, and was easily scored by He Li.

However, although Gasol did not contribute on the defensive end, he played more aggressively on the offensive end.

Gasol was so angry with He Li that it can be said that he threw all his brains on Yao Ming. Yao Ming withstood several waves of shocks, and when he followed up with the attack, he began to rub his chest to ease the pain in his chest.

However, with 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Spanish defender rushed to the basket and made Yao Ming two blocking fouls in a row.

Yao Ming, who was not troubled by fouls, was sent off before Gasol.

The Chinese men's basketball team suddenly lacked Yao Ming's insider Dinghaishenzhen, which suddenly exposed a lot of loopholes.

This is also thanks to He Li who stands in the defense position. He Li's footsteps are very sensitive. Whether the Spanish team shoots from the outside or hits the inside, He Li can interfere more or less.

Although Battelle's defense is poor, he is not small, and his frame protection is still a bit standard.

In the rest of the fourth quarter, under the control of He Li, the men's basketball team continued to maintain an advantage of about 5 points.

With 1 minute left at the end, Gasol was finally fouled by He Li.

Without Gasol, even Yi Jianlian can hit the basket and score.

The men's basketball team won the first game of the group stage, so there is no suspense.

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

Men's basketball bench players excitedly waved towels and counted down in unison to welcome the victory of the game.

In fact, the game was decided in the last 16 seconds. At that time, the men's basketball team had a 4-point advantage and had the ball.

It's just that He Li chose to carry out the last attack.

Although the three-pointer from the outside failed to succeed, the Spanish team grabbed a rebound and there were only 8 seconds left in the game.

The Spanish team can only hope to shoot a three-pointer first, and then rely on foul tactics to regain the ball.

But the time was too short, it took two seconds just to pass halftime.

In the end, the three-point shot was also hit with iron, so the men's basketball substitutes counted down in unison.

"We won, we won!"

After the countdown ended, people on the bench of the Chinese team kept hugging and high-fiving each other.

On the contrary, the five players on the field were not as excited as they appeared.

Everyone first looked for He Li, and it seemed that they were going to celebrate around He Li.

However, He Li went to the Spanish team's bench.

"Brother Li went wrong?"

"It should be right, he went to Pau Gasol!" Yao Ming explained to others.

Yao Ming has heard that He Li has a good relationship with Gasol, and in the NBA, there are often players on the winning side who will take the initiative to talk to players on the losing side after the game.

It's not to show off and brag, but to be an opponent on the court and a brother off the court.

Work is work, life is life.

The end of the game is normal life among friends.

Of course, it didn't take long for He Li to find Gasol, and He Li returned to the team.

Players from both sides played together and shook hands with each other.Then the game officially came to an end.

"Coach Del, it's a good luck!" Before returning to the locker room, He Li joked with Harris.

Harris also nodded to He Li and smiled in return.

Even if He Li is acting aggressive, Harris must admit that He Li has the capital to act aggressive.

After He Li took a break, the men's basketball team was quickly reversed after gaining a considerable advantage. When He Li returned to take charge of the team, the game was rewritten again until now it won the game.

Harris has to admit that He Li's control and influence on the men's basketball team is far above him.

Even though he has worked hard for the comeback of this men's basketball team and tried his best to help the men's basketball team improve, but it is not as effective as He Li.

This is a bit contrary to his basketball philosophy. As the head coach, Harris hopes that he can have a greater impact on the team, can truly take charge of the team, and let the players become pawns to execute his tactics.

But it is a pity that he cannot operate the men's basketball team in this way.

Harris has to respect the reality, that is, only He Li can lead the men's basketball team well and make the men's basketball team strong and aggressive.

"He Li is such a magical player!" Harris had a clearer understanding of He Li.

Harris also knows how to bring the men's basketball team to achieve better results.

Give the ball to He Li!Then fully trust him and give He Li the greatest autonomy!Tactical arrangements are that simple!
