Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 116 The 3-point bug in the international arena!

In the previous group stage, Lian Feng only made a total of 5 three-pointers, averaging only one attempt per game.

But the hit reached a terrifying 5 out of 4!

However, due to the small number of shots, it was not obvious, and no one noticed, even Feng himself didn't pay special attention.

Lian Feng is deliberately hiding his three-point ability.

"In the group stage, I basically relied on breakthroughs and mid-range scoring. The Greek team will definitely respond to this in the next eighth-finals."

Although this Greek team does not have the later Antetokounmpo, it is still an out-and-out strong team!Historically, they upset the US team and finally won the runner-up of this World Championship.

To beat this team, the difficulty can be imagined.

Lian Feng has already decided that the 1/8 finals is the best time to show off his three-point ability!
"Actually, international competitions are quite unfavorable for the US team. The US team is best at breakthroughs. James, Wade, and Anthony have strong breakthrough capabilities during this period, but because the distance from the three-point line in international competitions is too short, almost all teams will use zone defenses to defend."

"The entire inside line is crowded together, and the breakthroughs of those top NBA stars are not so advantageous."

"In the first few games, I was able to rely on breakthroughs to achieve results, relying on Dayao's restraint. But in this game, they will definitely target it."

The biggest difference between the Greek team and the opponents they encountered in the group stage is: the ability of zone defense.

Their zone defense ability can make James and Wade want to cry. It is definitely not difficult to restrict Yao Ming and prevent Lianfeng from being able to attack effectively.

Lian Feng knew this very well, and he had already made preparations.

There are many ways to break the zone defense.Among them, the most direct way is the three-pointer.

Lian Feng gave everyone the impression that he didn't have three points.

Also, the propensity to shoot [-]s is low.This made everyone ignore Lian Feng's three-pointer.

This is what Lian Feng wanted.

After a few days of rest, the game with the Greek team officially started.

The Greek team put on a zone defense posture from the beginning.

The defense of the Greek team is very high-quality. When each of them defends their own area, the tacit understanding and communication between teammates are very good. The opponent shouts when they cross the baseline, when they are stuck, and when they are in a vague area. You can hear them shouting loudly in foreign languages ​​at the beginning of the game.

Encountering such a zone defense is the most troublesome. They have strong communication and tacit cooperation. In history, they relied on this disgusting defense. The Huaguo team ran around for several rounds and passed the ball for several rounds. Coupled with the 122 pressing tactics that started in the third quarter, the Huaguo team, which had maintained the lead in the first half, collapsed directly.

The point is... the Hua Guo team's outside line is not strong.

In the end, it was crushed by more than 30 points.

However, history has changed.

As soon as the Greek team set up their proud 23-point defense, Lian Feng stepped forward and received the pass on the edge of the three-point line. Seeing that the defender didn't intend to post it, Lian Feng was not polite, and pulled up high.
The Greek team didn't care and continued with tactics.

At this time, Yao Ming was full of energy and successfully defended the attack of the opponent's inside player at the basket and won the ball.

Wang Shipeng pushed forward with the ball. Facing the pressing, he decisively passed the ball to Lian Feng who came to meet him.

After Lian Feng received the ball, he took a quick step, causing the opponent to cross and follow in a hurry. Then he immediately followed up with a large and fast pullback. His superb ball control skills almost knocked down the opponent who was a few centimeters shorter than himself.

Lian Feng came beyond the three-point line very easily. At first glance, the Greek team was full of people inside. Yao Mingshen entered to ask for the ball, but the chance was obviously not very good.

Lian Feng took off again without hesitation.

This time, the defender at the top of the arc stepped up, but unfortunately facing Lianfeng's take-off height, he couldn't interfere with the success at all.

Lian Feng's three-point jumper has the charm of McGrady's incomprehensible attack!

Originally, Lian Feng was just trying, but he didn't expect this shot to hit again.

Now, Lian Feng himself was a little surprised.

What is the situation with these 3 points?
Two consecutive three-pointers hit, and the touch feels a little unbelievable.This seems to be explained by the touch, but if you compare his shooting percentages in the previous games, it will be scary!

7 out of 6.

It doesn't make sense, even if he has three-point shooting skills, but his own shooting percentage is not high, even if the stability is good, the three-point shooting percentage will not be so exaggerated.

Suddenly, an incredible idea appeared.

"No! I know where the problem is! The references in my system are all based on NBA standards. But the NBA's rules and venue settings are a little different from those of international competitions."

"Among them, the biggest difference is that the three-point distance in international competitions is shorter!"

The NBA three-point line is 7.25 meters away from the basket, while the FIBA ​​standard, this distance is only 6.25 meters, so the NBA three-point line is 1 meter longer than the domestic three-point line!
Lian Feng's expression suddenly became excited.

"That is to say, if you shoot within 1 meter beyond the three-point line of the international men's basketball team, the system actually judges that it is a mid-range shot!"

In fact, for ordinary athletes, the distance of half a meter does not make any difference. Even NBA players, who are used to the 7.25-meter three-point line, are often not good at shooting the 6.25-meter "long two-pointer".

You must know that no matter which star takes long two-point shots, the frequency and efficiency are extremely low.Therefore, those who shoot long two-pointers may not be able to make three-pointers smoothly. The evidence is that the US team's three-pointer shooting rate so far has not even reached 30%.

However, for Lian Feng who has a system, it is different.

"The distance of 1 meter directly allows me to enjoy the effect of mid-range shooting on the edge of the three-point line! In other words, I can use the mid-range shooting percentage to shoot three-pointers!"

This guess made Lian Feng very excited.

"If that's the case, it's terrible."

Lian Feng's mid-range shooting percentage can easily stabilize above 60%!Even if the level of the hot zone with a two-point distance is 0 and does not enjoy the shooting stability bonus of the hot zone, it can easily remain above an exaggerated value.

Suppressing his excitement, Lian Feng joined the defense.He waited for the next opportunity, he wanted to try his guess to see if it was right.

Soon, the opportunity will come.

Greece's offense was also very smooth. Spanoli, known as the "European Kobe", hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line in return for the Chinese team.

In the next round, the Greek team still adopted zone defense tactics, but obviously focused on Lian Feng.

Lian Feng came out from the top of the arc and asked.

The national team will not be selfish at this time. Lian Feng has proved that he is not only good in the NBA, but also a thigh in the international arena.

At this time, Lian Feng's touch is obviously very good, so when he wants the ball, it is almost like wind or rain.

Yao Ming came out very spiritually to pick and roll Lian Feng, and Lian Feng took a step forward by taking advantage of his position, and took off rhythmically and moved his wrist.

"Lianfeng's touch is very good today. He started with two three-pointers and two goals. Let's see how this shot goes."

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air and hits it steadily!

"Hey! Today's Lian Feng feels really good. He's 3-for-3 since the start!"

Subsequently, the Greek team decisively called a timeout.

Yu Jia, nicknamed "Brother Calm Ding", said very easily: "It seems that the Greek team is a little scared. In the beginning, they directly scored 3-pointers and 3-for-[-], and the zone defense became a joke. I am also anxious."

Yang Jian on the side said with a smile: "If the Hua Guo team has a basket on the outside, the Greek team will find it difficult to play in this game. In the past few games, the Greek team relied on strict organization and defense to win and break through. They are very good at it, but facing today's fiery forwards, they played very hard."

The two laughed lightly.

Lian Feng took a sip of water during the timeout, and Yao Ming patted him on the shoulder: "I feel good today!"

Lian Feng smiled: "Let the outside line play a little bit at the front, and when they come out of the defense at the back, the pressure on the inside line will be less, and then I will give you the ball to solve it!"

Yao Ming said very easily: "If you are accurate, I will shoot for you throughout the game! We have rebounds."

When he said this, Yao Ming's eyes were very confident.

That's right, the Hua Guo team's inside line is much higher than the Greek team.The Greek team is guarded by a 206 fat man, not to mention Yao Ming, even Zhang Songtao can't find a bargain.

And Lian Feng's eyes became sharper. He was completely sure that there was indeed a super big bug in the World Championships for him!

What is the concept of 60% three-point shooting ability?
"Such a terrifying three-point shooting rate, I am even afraid. Let alone the top 8, taking advantage of this, even the championship... is not impossible!"
