Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 117 3 points, one person against one team!
After Lian Feng scored that three-pointer, the Hua Guo team had already led the Greek team 9-3.

During the timeout, the morale of the whole team was high.

"Come on, just fight like this."

Yao Ming patted Lian Feng on the shoulder.

After playing again, the Greek team really adjusted their tactics.

However, when the opponent showed his defensive tactics, Lian Feng felt that he was not as scary as he imagined.

After a few rounds, Lian Feng found that the Greek team's defensive focus was still on Yao Ming, and their zone defense was still disgusting.

The restriction on Lian Feng is actually nothing more than that when he does not have the ball, the Greek defensive players run around the front, and at the same time continue to use body contact to prevent receiving the ball.

"They originally came up with this idea. They want me to catch the ball and I'm already exhausted?" Lian Feng was observing the Greek team's tactical arrangement while running.

But I have to say that the players of the Greek team are really strong in athletic ability, and their physical fitness is not inferior to the US team in this session.

How could it be possible for a strong team that can upset the Dream 7 team without a few brushes?In terms of physical strength, the Greek team does have an advantage.

Although such a defense is simple, it is indeed very effective.

Many people took turns marking the forward, and he couldn't receive the ball in a comfortable position for several rounds.

Three-point shooters are often shooters with a soft touch, relying more on the rhythm and feeling of shooting, so it is over with one move close to the body. As long as they are close to the body, the three-point preparation cannot be done, and the rhythm will be disrupted. Naturally, it can be prevented.

As soon as Lian Feng received the ball, the opponent stuck up to disrupt Lian Feng's shooting rhythm.

Lian Feng's mid-range shot is indeed very stable, but it doesn't mean that he can ignore the defense.

The opponent's interference destroys the shooting rhythm, and the stability will drop off a cliff. Therefore, even if the shooting rate is extremely high, it is impossible for Lian Feng to act recklessly.

"Hmph..." Lian Feng suddenly understood the Greek team's routine.

"If that's the case, I'll play with you!"

Lian Feng didn't panic at all.

Under the rules of the world men's basketball team, this 3-point bug is too unsolvable. As long as the Greek team continues to defend themselves, they will be the ones who will be consumed!
"My physical strength will indeed be consumed, but you have to run two or three people in turns to effectively limit me!"

Lian Feng knew very well that his physical strength would indeed drop rapidly because of this stalking, but the price the Greek team paid was that two or three people would lose the same physical strength!
Lian Feng also quickly adjusted his style of play, began to pass the ball continuously, and at the same time began to run without the ball.

The inside line of the Greek team is indeed like a quagmire. Once it enters, it is difficult to get out.

I have to say that Lian Feng did feel the pressure on this Greek team.

Their defense is really good!Everyone knows that the best way to break the zone defense is a three-pointer. However, this Greek team has been able to strictly limit the shooting space of the forwards and at the same time, through strict movement and communication, the defense of the inside is not lax.

Indeed, Lian Feng was restrained, he didn't have a good chance to make a move, he chose to break through, but the more he squeezed in, two or three people were waiting to double-team.

"If... I have an invincible post-up singles skill, this situation will be easy to break."

Or there is another way, that is, the Hua Guo team's outside line will bloom more.

As long as there are two or three players with three-point ability, the Greek team is also difficult to limit.

However... Several times Lian Feng passed the ball to his teammates, and after a circle, the ball either returned to his own hands, or it was given to Dayao inside.

Or, the projection is off.Everyone else's outside touch is not very good today.Apart from Lian Feng, the one who made the most three-pointers was Wang Zhizhi, who made three.

Very helpless.

Lian Feng somewhat understands why this Greek team has the ability to beat the US team.

Many people think that the NBA star team will definitely be able to crush the international men's basketball team. In fact, this is a very outrageous misunderstanding.

That's right, NBA players do have the top physical talent, speed, strength, basketball skills, and even physical strength, but the NBA and international men's basketball are basically two rules of the game.

The three-point line is too short, there are no 3 seconds, and almost every team is playing zone defense. No matter how powerful the breakthrough ability is, it can't play a big role.

It will be difficult for pure NBA players to adapt to the rules of international men's basketball.Therefore, the US team generally presses the whole court from the beginning, forcing the opponent to make mistakes, and then wins with physical fitness and lineup depth.

Therefore, when encountering this Greek team with good physical fitness, the US team's outside line stretched their hips, so naturally they couldn't win.

The Chinese team in history also faced this dilemma.The Huaguo team, which started off very smoothly, even led by more than 10 points in the first two quarters, but the Huaguo team's physical strength declined seriously in the second half.

But the current situation is similar to the beginning of history, both started with the Hua Guo team taking a big lead.

But the difference from history is that... the historical lead is the advantage established by Yao Ming, Wang Shipeng, and Ah Lian's outstanding performance, but now it is the advantage of Lian Feng playing alone.

The difference is... Lian Feng restrained two or three opponents by himself!
This makes the physical exertion of the Huaguo team not so great, and it also makes the physical exertion of the Greek team much greater than that of the Huaguo team.

"They won't last long!"

Sure enough, as the game progressed, the speed of the Greek team gradually slowed down, Lian Feng was able to find opportunities again, and shot long shots (crossed out, mid-range shots) from beyond the three-point line one after another, 7 of 5.

At the end of the first half, relying on Yao Ming and Ah Lian's inside play, as well as Lian Feng's three-pointer from outside the three-point line, the Hua Guo team entered the second half with a 44-31, 13-point advantage.

However, the price was that Lian Feng's physical strength was seriously exhausted.

"Damn, those boys are really stalking."

Lian Feng panted heavily and poured himself a mouthful of water.

Yunus arranged for Lian Feng to rest for a while.

Lian Feng wanted to refuse, but hesitated for a while, and agreed.

"If I don't rest, I really won't be able to run anymore."

No way, Lian Feng's style of play is replaced by Kobe Iverson, and he has to rest now.A strong offensive point often chooses a weak point of the opponent to defend when defending, so as to reserve physical strength to attack.

However, Lian Feng also rushed the most vigorously and actively when defending. Coupled with the opponent's focus, the physical strength was naturally exhausted.

"Hopefully, my rest will not be a turning point."

What Lian Feng was worried about happened soon.

The Greek team suddenly resorted to the 122 pressing tactics that had defeated the Hua Guo team. Under the extreme pressure, the Hua Guo team made repeated mistakes in the backcourt.

The score was gradually caught up.

"The weakness of the national team's defenders during this period is too obvious."

Lian Feng couldn't help frowning.

At the same time, Yunus was also frowning.He changed several defenders in a row to control the ball, but none of them had a better effect.

At the same time, the outside line of the Greek team began to exert force.

The group of outside shooters led by Spanoli suddenly found the feeling, continuously exerted strength, hit three-pointers one after another, caught up with the score at once, and finally overtook!
Lian Feng couldn't help but think of his elder nephew who was criticized many years later... To be honest, in the international arena, there are really few defenders in Huaguo who can dribble the ball to the frontcourt so steadily with their elder nephew.

The sudden decline made the ordinary fans who were excited and felt that the Hua Guo team was about to make history anxious and angry.

In front of the TV, many people scolded those Hua Guo defenders.

"Why don't you let Lian Feng go up!"

"Where's Lian Feng? How can Lian Feng go down at this time!"

"Is Yunus mentally ill!"

It seemed that he heard the voice of the audience. After Chen Jianghua made another pass error, Yunus turned his attention to Lian Feng.

"let me try."

Lian Feng understood.

In the last quarter, under much anticipation, Lian Feng took off his sportswear, revealed his No. 9 jersey (the number is 9 in international competitions), and played again.

The Huaguo fans who came from afar at the scene cheered when they saw Lian Feng re-entering the field.

At this time, the Greek team headed by Spanoli had scored 11 three-pointers, which can be said to have bombarded the Huaguo team with long-range firepower.

The first thing after playing, Lian Feng came to the backcourt and received the ball.

The Greek point guard pressed up again.

Lian Feng sneered.

"My ball is not so easy to break!"

Lian Feng opened up the ball protector, and his height and wingspan were almost crushed compared to the opposing point guard.

Visually, the opponent's height is only about 1 meters.

Therefore, Lian Feng doesn't even need much ball control at all, he just needs to protect the ball sideways when the opponent tries to steal it.

The opponent began to use small movements, and made great moves from hidden angles.

"You want to force me to make a mistake?"

Lian Feng was a little angry. When the opponent used disgusting movements to press him again, he turned his back, calculated the angle, and elbowed him.

The Greek defender lost his balance and fell to the ground on the spot.

However, the referee did not blow the whistle and decided that this was a reasonable ball.

Lian Feng would not stand still, throwing away the opponent all at once, sinking the ball with spring pressure, and throwing the ball easily.

The ball went in again.

In the middle of the three-pointer, Lian Feng has already made the eighth three-pointer today!
The calm brother Yu Jia is not calm anymore: "Lian Feng alone is about to catch up with the opposing team's three-pointers!"

Before Yu Jia's voice fell, this joke became a reality.

The Greek team turned around and hit a three-pointer from the baseline, which was a response to Lian Feng.

Lian Feng sneered.He has noticed that the speed of the entire Greek team has dropped.

"After all, they are still human beings, and it is impossible for human beings not to be tired. Especially after so much consumption before!"

The most intuitive feeling is that they can't run anymore, and when Lian Feng attacks, the discomfort of being constantly disrupted before is gone.

So, Lian Feng began to work hard.

One three-pointer after another.

When the Greek team had to come up to double-team, Lian Feng passed the ball by virtue of his height and vision.At this time, after being pulled by Lian Feng, the interior space is very empty. Without double-teaming, Yao Ming is invincible.

In the end, in this game, Lian Feng used a terrifying 64% three-point shooting rate and made a total of 12 three-pointers. He almost wiped out the Greek team's outside line group by himself.

And he scored 12 three-pointers in a single game, which also set a record for three-pointers in a single game in the World Championships.

Hua Guo team successfully won the game 87 to 81.

After this game, the entire basketball world was boiling...
