Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 266 Old K's Strategy

At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Lian Feng was the final flag bearer of the Hua Guo team.

This is something that many people expected.

Many opinions have been sought on the candidate for the flag bearer, and Yao Ming and Lian Feng, who created the lore with Lian Feng at the World Championships, are both very suitable candidates.But as a shooting guard/small forward, Lian Feng naturally has more imitators, so his popularity is naturally higher.

After the grand opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, delegations from all over the world moved into the Olympic Village and began intensive pre-competition preparations.

As in history, the Hua Guo team was drawn to Group B of the death group.

Unlike the World Championships, the Olympic Games has restrictions on eligibility before the competition, so there are not many teams that can participate. There are only 12 teams in total, divided into two groups.

Group A is Argentina, Australia, Iran, Lithuania, Russia and Croatia.Death group B is Angola, China, Spain, the United States, Germany and Greece.

But this time, neither the Chinese nor the players in the team had the consciousness of falling into the death group.

Because... Hua Guo team itself is a part of death.Most people joke that Angola should feel hopeless.Because they were in a group with the champions, runners-up and runners-up of the last World Championships.

Almost the same lineup as the last World Championship, and Lian Feng just won the NBA championship, which proved that he is one of the best players of this era, and Dayao and Ah Lian have gone further. Everyone in every position is stronger than the last World Championship.

Can't make it to the quarterfinals like this?

After the lottery was over, the Hua Guo team's opponent was also officially determined.

The first is against the United States, the second against Spain, followed by Angola, Germany and Greece.

It can be said that, except for Angola, every opponent should not be underestimated.

But there is good news that Dayao has been in very good physical condition since returning to the training ground three weeks ago, and even the team doctor was surprised that his body recovered so well.

Only Lian Feng knew, it seemed that the bottle of nutrient solution had worked.

And the healthy Dayao and the peak Lian Feng are naturally the biggest confidence of this Hua Guo team.

All are confident.

You know, the current lineup of the Huaguo team has not lost to any NBA team at all!

Lian Feng is undoubtedly a historical super giant, and a healthy Yao also has the confidence to compete for the league's first center this season.In addition to the two of them as the absolute core, Arab League is the undisputed main rotation power forward in the NBA. If the 31-year-old Wang Zhizhi goes to the NBA, he will have no problem playing in the rotation. Sun Yue was selected by the Lakers in the second round last year, but he has not yet signed a contract.

Other players have also reached the bottom line of the NBA, and even reached the middle level of the NBA in some aspects.

Imagine an NBA team with two top-salary stars, two above-level rotation players, and several distinctive role players. Even an NBA championship team is nothing more than that, right?

Of course, Lian Feng felt that his teammates were too optimistic to think so.Because everyone knows the weaknesses of the Huaguo team: basic skills and physical strength.

At that time and space, without Lian Feng, the Hua Guo team could also play back and forth with the US team in the first two quarters, and even took the lead for a time.But at the beginning of the second half, as soon as Dayao's physical strength couldn't keep up, and Sun Yue stepped off the field, the team couldn't even find a defender who could carry the ball steadily across the half, let alone play in position to win, and it collapsed directly.

Therefore, in this Olympic Games, these issues will also be a sword hanging over the head of the Hua Guo team.

……

Bryant bit his finger, listening to the coach's pre-game analysis.

"There are only two guys in the Huaguo team that need our attention. But the combination of these two guys is very troublesome. Because limiting the two of them requires a completely different strategy! I think everyone knows that I am talking about those two guys. So we have to focus."

Kobe glanced at the coach.

This time the head coach is still Old K. As the most legendary coach in the NCAA, he has profound qualifications and achievements. He has been teaching in the college league for a long time and is familiar with FIBA ​​rules. Although the Dream 7 team lost the game last time, this did not prevent him from becoming the coach of this dream team.

Old K's resume and experience can also make him calm down these super players.If the coach is changed, it is really not an easy task to make these unruly stars obedient.

Moreover, he has experience playing against the Hua Guo team.It's past the time when a dog on a leash can win on the Dream Team's dugout.Basketball is developing, and the NBA, as the cradle of training talents for basketball around the world, has sent a large number of foreign stars to the world. The gap between the US team and teams from other countries in the world is not as obvious as it used to be.

This time, old K learned the lessons from the last time, and strictly demanded that the players who came to BJ were not allowed to go anywhere, especially forbidding them to go out and hang out with parties before the game like they did in the last World Championships.

Old K calmly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Huaguo team. In his eyes, this Huaguo team is one of the few opponents that can compete with the US team for the final ranking.

However, this year he felt that he would not be as frustrated as last year.

In terms of mentality, this year is the year of rebirth. After losing in the previous two major competitions, this time no failure is allowed, so everyone came to the arena with the spirit of working hard to the death, and their confidence and morale were directly full.

In terms of the personal strength of the players, this year is Kobe’s first time to compete in the Olympics, and he is playing in the country where he has the most fans. Kidd is the absolute core of the backcourt.

This year's dream team will definitely be able to avenge their shame!
But everyone in the team fell silent after listening to Old K's analysis. Obviously, everyone was a little confused about Old K's arrangement.

Because, old K's defensive focus is still on Yao Ming.

As for Lianfeng, the old K let Kobe, Wade, and James take turns defending, trying to limit him through individual defense and consumption.

But this kind of targeting is actually equivalent to doing nothing.

So, as Lian Feng's teammate, Paul couldn't help asking: "Don't you need to do something about Lian Feng? I'm not going to question the abilities of Kobe and Dwyane, but you know, Lian Feng won't lose his deterrent power because of individual defense... If you just let one person stare at him, it won't have a very good effect."

Paul's words made the three super giants in charge of the defensive company a little unhappy, but they didn't speak.

Old K glanced at Paul, and then said seriously: "I understand your doubts. But you must know one thing, this is FIBA, not NBA."

Paul was slightly taken aback.

Old K continued to explain: "Listen to me why Yao Ming's priority in tactical status is higher than that of the forward. Not to mention other things, Yao Ming is undoubtedly the strongest center in the Western Conference, and even the top two in the entire league. No one in the center has stronger offensive power than him. At the same time, he and players like Gasol and Dirk have attributes that are more terrifying under FIBA ​​rules than under NBA rules."

"To be honest, although this is rude, I still want to emphasize that under the FIBA ​​rules, Tyson and Dwight are far inferior to Yao Ming in terms of offensive ability. And unfortunately, it is difficult for them to limit Yao Ming by themselves." After speaking, Old K glanced at Howard.

Howard shrugged helplessly when he thought of being dominated every time he faced Yao Ming in the league.

Old K looked at Paul: "Under the FIBA ​​rules, Lian Feng's attack method is nothing more than shooting, because the difficulty of breaking through here is greatly increased. I don't believe that his three-pointers will be as accurate as last time this year, because it depends on the state after all. But if Yao Ming is ignored, our inside line is likely to be blown up."

Paul fell silent.

But he reserves his opinion.

That guy Lian Feng will definitely not be restricted as easily as the coach said.

Wait, they're bound to be in trouble if they defend doubles with this strategy.

big trouble.
