The Croatian team played two games against the Chinese team during the warm-up match, but the Croatian team at that time was not their strongest lineup, and as a warm-up match, they did not show their strongest strength.

After warming up with the Chinese team, the Croatian team returned to Europe to play the losing game. In addition to their three teams that advanced, there are also second-rate strong teams such as Brazil, Slovenia, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Standing out from the competition and getting the final ticket, the Croatian team surprised many people.

Twelve teams have three places to advance. Croatia was assigned to the first group, while Germany and Greece were both assigned to the second group. , the group stage is their end, who knows that they even reached the quarter-finals.

However, when encountering the Chinese national team that has already defeated them in the warm-up match, the Croatian team's way forward is estimated to have come to an end, which is also the consensus of most people.

But the Croatian team is not reconciled to going back home like this. As a country with a profound basketball background, they will never be satisfied with entering the quarterfinals. Although the opponent is the powerful Chinese national team, they still have to use their own Hard work and hard work to prove their dignity. [

Therefore, the game was very intense from the very beginning. The Croatian team played their most powerful energy and played continuously like a tide, which kept the Chinese team in a state of exhaustion. It was impossible to establish a strong enough defense line.

Since they could only struggle with their offense, the Chinese national team basically launched a counterattack. At this time, Stephen really realized the horror of European overall basketball. The existence of tactics is to better attack and get more. More offensive opportunities, better opportunities for shots, and more space, this is the value of tactics.

But in the league, although tactics are also played, tactics are at best only an engine role in the offense. Tactics are used to start the offense, but usually individual abilities are used to end the offense.

Stephen has seen the power of full-on tactics. This is the Croatian team with low-quality players. If it is replaced by a more talented Spanish or Argentine team, the game will be more difficult. It is already difficult to handle. .

The Chinese national team is like a small boat in a stormy sea, rising and falling with the waves, but it has never capsized, although it gives people the feeling that it may be buried in the huge waves at any time.

Those who agreed before the game that the Chinese national team could win easily seemed to be stupid. Could it be that they really answered that sentence, basketball is round, and anything can happen, or is it that the Chinese national team was defeated all of a sudden? Back to the original shape, now is the real strength of the Chinese national team.

But no matter how struggling the Chinese national team was, they were never overwhelmed by the Croatian offensive frenzy. It was rare for the Chinese national team to show how good their defensive resilience is. At this time, Jonas is really thankful. The defense of the lineup that I have sent on the field is not bad.

In this game, due to consideration of the high height of the opposing lineup, Yunus did not let Wang Shipeng start as in the previous game, and replaced him with Zhu Fangyu. As the point guard, Liu Wei's body has become a little bit weaker. The problem is gone, and this game also served as a starter.

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian formed the inside line of the Chinese team, and they must firmly guard the penalty area under the basket. This is also the main reason why the Chinese national team can persist until now. For the second attack, the chance of attack is greater than others.

It is because of this that the Chinese national team was able to persist until the end of the first quarter, and then barely allowed the Croatian team to expand the point difference to double digits.

After the end of the first quarter, the players returned to the bench, each and every one of them was annoyed. It's not that they haven't been led by others before, but they were beaten by others, especially a team like Croatia, with no strength to fight back. Very frustrating.

A counterattack must be launched, and they cannot be allowed to continue attacking like this, because the Croatian team is playing tactics, not just shooting. The shooting rate may drop, but the effect of the tactics will not drop. within a safe range.

It is necessary to launch an attack, disrupt the opponent's attack, and then gradually counterattack, but is it half tactical and half alone as a team, or completely alone.

Under Stephen's suggestion, Jonas adjusted the lineup on the field. In fact, Yao Ming was replaced by Wang Zhizhi, and the other personnel remained unchanged.

Then Stephen told the others to run according to the usual tactics, and Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi were both driven to the outside line by Yao Ming. Don't you guys like to play on the outside line, so why don't you just stay on the outside line enough.

Stephen is determined to take root in the basket, focusing on attacking the basket, and others shoot three-pointers from the outside. Although Jonas has tried this offensive mode, the Croatian team should not have imagined that the Chinese team would make such an adjustment. Be prepared, by surprise.

In the last game, Stephen slammed hard to the basket. Just when he clearly had a chance to score a layup, Stephen suddenly threw the ball to Wang Zhizhi, who had been ambushing outside the three-point line. The center didn't follow at all, and watched Wang Zhizhi make a shot.

Wang Zhizhi's first trial shot failed, but Stephen immediately jumped up and dialed the basketball to the outside again. After regaining the ball, Wang Zhizhi made no adjustments and made another three-pointer. This time he finally did not miss.

The Croatian team immediately returned a three-pointer, but after coming over, Stephen assisted Yi Jianlian to make a three-pointer, and then completed a steal in the hands of Planinic. Turning around, Stephen made a three-pointer. Not even a little time to react. [

After the Croatian team returned two points, Liu Wei received a pass from Stephen and hit a two-pointer that stepped on the line. Then Stephen blocked Ukić's shot and then came back and missed the shot, but he snatched it The rebound was launched again, still unsuccessful, but Stephen bravely grabbed the front basket again

Among a group of elders, Stephen seemed to be unable to see, but he was able to grab the rebound every time, and then Stephen passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi again, this time the Croatian team did not let him go, but Wang Zhizhi did not attack , but casually passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu who had a better chance.

After Stephen came to the national team, Zhu Fangyu also consciously adjusted his shooting speed. This adjustment was very effective. Before his opponent turned around, Zhu Fangyu had already thrown the ball to the basket.

With Zhu Fangyu's shot, the Chinese national team regained nine points in just over a minute. The Croatian team's [-]-point lead became only two points. The Croatian team immediately called a timeout. But after the timeout, there was no effect. Planinic missed a big shot, and then Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound and passed it to Liu Wei, who passed it back to Stephen. Stephen went down to the basket and raised his hand for a layup to help the team get two points.

After equalizing the score, although the Croatian team did not panic, their offense was not as good as before, because they also needed to defend the offense of the Chinese national team. The game is like this, one ebbs and another, victory is like a balance Same, either to one side or to the other.

With Stephen's two free throws, the Chinese national team once extended the lead to five points, but the good times didn't last long, and soon the Croatian team chased the point difference to only one point, but soon Stephen once again Scoring two points helped the team stabilize the situation.

There is no good way for the Croatian team to take Stephen. Stephen’s appearance at the basket makes them a little difficult to deal with. They don’t know how to deal with it. Especially Stephen has the toughness and confrontation of the players at the basket and the maneuverability of outside players. and flexible.

The Croatian team didn't have any good intentions, but it didn't mean that they were ready to hand over the victory to others. At the end of the first half, they launched wave after wave of offensives, and they soon received results. The score was overtaken again.

Stephen immediately used his personal ability to score two points, and overtook the score back. However, the Croatian team's offense was also very hard, and it was not easy to limit. Hold until the end of the first half.

Although he was only four points behind, Jonas hesitated about how to play in the second half. The opponent would definitely launch a fierce attack after the break, but Stephen asked him to rest when it was time to rest. It is not so easy to catch up with the expansion.

"Coach, let me continue playing in the second half. My physical strength is fine." Stephen stood up and said as if seeing his embarrassment. Very good opponent.

In this way, in the second half, Stephen still appeared on the court. The Croatian team launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's defense line.

After Yao Ming came on the field, Stephen followed him for a while, and chose to leave the field when he chased the score to only two points. At this time, the Croatian team had lost the spirit they had just started. Even without Stephen on the field, the Chinese team could barely able to handle it.

However, before the game, it was unanimously thought that it would be an easy game, but it was beaten to this point. No one expected it. This is also called easy. It is basically the most difficult game that this national team has encountered. good.
