against the front

Chapter 304

"The competitions of the other groups have basically ended before this. Overall, there are not too many upsets in this World Championship. The US team, Lithuania team, Serbia team, Argentina team, Spain team, The host team, Turkey, these strong teams have achieved relatively good results, ranking in the top two positions in their respective groups."

"After the end of the group stage, Group C and Group D will conduct a cross-elimination match until a team is determined to enter the final. According to the final qualifying ranking of Group D, if our national team wants to make progress in the knockout round If you do, you must defeat the Greek men's basketball team in today's game and enter the knockout round with the second place in the group, in order to avoid the Spanish team, the champion of the last World Championship, in the first round of the knockout round."

"So, in today's game, we can't lose anyway."

"Yes, today's game is not only related to the final ranking of the group stage, but also related to the national team's game status after entering the knockout round, but judging from the current state of the national team, our hope of defeating Greece is still not small .”

When the starting players of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team and the Greek team appeared one after another and were preparing for the match, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping also began to analyze the entire group stage and after the group stage in the CCAV studio thousands of miles away. From the conversation between Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping, it is not difficult to see that the two of them are quite optimistic about today's game.

Although the Greek men's basketball team won the runner-up in the last World Championships and reached the semi-finals in last year's European Championships, in order to train young players and prepare for the upcoming Olympic qualifiers, the Greek men's basketball team Half of the main players did not participate in the World Championships with the team. Instead, Spanoulis led a group of young players to the World Championships. While cultivating new players, it can also take advantage of the trend to establish Spanoulis' absolute leadership , can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Therefore, the Greek men's basketball team going to the World Championships this time is not in their strongest state. It is precisely because of this reason that Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping have a lot of confidence in the Chinese men's basketball team's victory over the Greek team. expectations.

Although the Huaguo men's basketball team with two wins and two losses has been able to ensure that they will qualify from the group, but in order to go further in the knockout round, the Huaguo men's basketball team must eliminate the Greek men's basketball team in today's game. This situation has become very clear after the third round of the group stage, so in the last game against Russia, Deng Huade deliberately gave up the game in order to allow the main players to get enough The rest time, and then in today's game, it will be done in one battle.

"Yan, Greece is a very strong opponent. Their inside line is not weak, so you must be mentally prepared for today's game." Hua made a special warning, perhaps because the previous games, no matter whether they were given up or won, were too easy, Deng Huade was also afraid that Yan Hua would have the idea of ​​belittling the Greek team in this game.

Although Deng Huade's coaching ability is not superb, and his on-the-spot command ability is relatively average, but as a coach who has more than ten years of coaching career and has been an assistant coach in the NBA for several years, Deng Huade is still good at motivating and agitating the atmosphere of players. Very good, in short, Deng Huade is a pure nanny style coach.

And as a nanny coach, when there is a player who is almost incomprehensible at both ends of the offense and defense, Deng Huade naturally knows how to arrange tactics, how to arrange strategies, and how to make this player play more comfortably.

Although Deng Huade decided to establish Yan Hua as the offensive and defensive core of the Huaguo men's basketball team on the second day Yan Hua entered the national team, Deng Huade did not formulate the national team's tactics and offensive and defensive strategies around Yan Hua, because Deng Huade was very It is clear that whether it is a combination of internal and external tactics, or a center and four shooters tactics, in the Huaguo men's basketball national team, there is not much room to display them, and there are not enough players to match these tactics.

And as a nanny coach, Deng Huade doesn't need these complicated tactics, just hand over the basketball to the player with the strongest singles ability, and let him decide everything on the court, so Deng Huade's offensive tactics for Yan Hua are also Very simple and rude, Liu Wei dribbled the ball across the half, and then handed it over to Yan Hua, who let Yan Hua hold the ball for singles.

"Don't worry, coach." After glancing at the Greek players not far away, Yan Hua nodded towards Deng Huade. Their inside line is not outstanding, but Yan Hua will not underestimate the Greek men's basketball team because of this. The skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As the runner-up of the last World Championships, even if this Greek team is only the second team, their strength is still Not to be underestimated.

After a brief warm-up, Yan Hua walked directly into the middle circle, representing the Huaguo men's basketball team and center Jan Poroskis of the Greek team for the opening jump ball.

Jan Poroskis is 2 meters tall and weighs 13 kilograms. He is the tallest and largest player in the Greek men's basketball team. In the semi-finals with the European Championships, Jan Porowskis' role in the interior cannot be ignored, but in these two finals, Jan Porowskis was eaten to death by the Gasol brothers of Spain Dead, which caused Greece to fall continuously at the feet of Spain.

People who eat persimmons want to be soft. The Huaguo men's basketball team wants to avoid Spain in the knockout round, and Greece, which has lost to Spain in the World Series, naturally has this idea. So today's game, against Greece It is also a game that must be won.

"Jan, I hope you don't let me down today." After Jan Poroskis followed Yan Hua's footsteps into the middle circle, the head coach of the Greek men's basketball team standing on the sidelines was also the former head coach of the Huaguo men's basketball team. Jonas, staring at Jan Porowskis, whom he had high hopes for, kept rubbing his hands. It seemed that he did not have the confidence to win today's game.

The Greek men's basketball team is strong on the outside, and the Huaguo men's basketball team is strong on the inside. Therefore, in order to win today's game, the Greek team must limit Huaguo's inside to the greatest extent while ensuring its own offense and defense from the outside. The reason why he lost to Spain for the first time was because there was nothing he could do about the Gasol brothers in Spain. Therefore, in this extremely critical game, Jonas did not want to repeat the mistakes of last year's European Championship.

Before the start of the game, Yonas stayed up all night, watching Yan Hua's game highlights, as well as the videos of the previous games. For this center forward who was much stronger than the Yao Ming he had coached, Yonas Si did not find a good defensive method, and could only use the most helpless defensive strategy of double-team defense. Not only that, Jonas also had to count on Antonis Fortis and Jan Porowskis , can have a good performance on the court, especially Jan Porowskis, who is in charge of top defense, his performance is the top priority.

With the whistle of the referee, Jan Porowskis and Yan Hua's feet left the ground almost at the same time, and started towards the basketball thrown into the air, but just at the fingertips of Jan Porowskis, the distance When the basketball was only a few centimeters away, the basketball thrown into the air by the referee had already changed its flight trajectory, and was directed by Yan Hua to the half court of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team.

Jan Porowskis, who fell from the sky, stared at Yan Hua fiercely, and then began to retreat towards the backcourt. Relying on the advantages of height and wingspan, in the previous few group matches, Jan Porowskis didn't lose any of his jump balls, but in this crucial game, Jan Porowskis got off to a bad start and lost to his opponent in what he was best at.

This guy is very strong!Before the start of the game, while still in the locker room, coach Jonas repeatedly emphasized to Jan Porowskis that the player he will be facing today is a player better than Marc Gasol and Paul Gasol The Er brothers, either of the two players must be a stronger player, so Jonas hopes that Jan Porowskis, no matter what, will not lose his momentum. Facing a player of this level, once Let him suppress you psychologically, and you will never have a chance to stand up.

After the head coach's instructions were over, the first thing Jan Porowskis thought of was to beat this guy and hit his arrogance at the opening jump ball, but Jan Porowskis didn't expect that this guy would be in He defeated himself in his field of expertise.

Although he lost at the time of the jump ball, Jan Porowskis was not discouraged. Instead, after retreating to the backcourt, he began to seize a favorable defensive position, preparing for the first defense in the opening, and This guy is tough, it doesn't matter if he is on the field or not, the important thing is the momentum!

Don't look at the Gasol brothers who have diarrhea when they meet and are beaten up every time, but in the bottom of their hearts, Jan Porowskis is not convinced by their love at all. Who makes those two brothers? If the younger brother can't beat him, the older brother will come to help. No matter how you look at the venue, there are suspicions of bullying.

In addition, despite being beaten violently by the Gasol brothers, Jan Porowskis was not at all afraid when he was one-on-one with Marc Gasol, especially on the defensive end, relying on his huge body, With a huge size, Jan Porowskis made Marc Gasol very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the fact that the Spanish men's basketball team has a stronger Paul Gasol, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

So even though Greece lost miserably every time they met Spain, and Jan Porowskis was beaten by the Gasol brothers every time, Jan Porowskis did not accept the Gasol brothers at all, although I can't beat you, but I just refuse to accept you.

The same is true of Jan Porowskis' attitude towards Yan Hua. Although the head coach Jonas has repeatedly emphasized how strong Yan Hua is, how strong Yan Hua is, and Yan Hua is the best defensive player in the NBA and the MVP of the finals. It is very bluffing, but before the fight, Jan Porowskis will not have the slightest fear, let alone shrink back in the game.

After Yan Hua also arrived in the frontcourt, Jan Porowskis stuck to Yan Hua behind him and made a defensive posture, but to Jan Porowskis' surprise, he got stuck in his position After that, Yan Hua did not use brute force to block each other with himself, but stood with his back to the basket, without any intention of fighting for position with himself.

Through the tactical explanation before the game, Jan Porowskis also learned a lot about Yan Hua's technical characteristics and offensive methods. He knew that Yan Hua was a center with flexible feet and a long range, so he played a defensive role. When Yan Hua was playing, Jan Porowskis' strategy was to strengthen physical contact and keep him away from the basket as much as possible. Once Yan Hua attacked with the ball, he would block him and wait for his teammates to attack.

As for Yan Hua's defenseless long-distance hooks, not to mention Jan Porowskis, even the head coach Jonas has no solution, but fortunately, the head coach Jonas has done it before. Explain, as long as Yan Hua is not allowed to get within four meters of the basket, you can ignore it, let alone long-distance hooks, even if he shoots a three-pointer, don't bother, because in Yunus' consciousness, any I hope that the center who leaves the basket is not a qualified center. A center who floats outside and shoots will have a greatly reduced tactical effect and containment power on the court.

After all the players who arrived at the frontcourt had settled down, Liu Wei slowly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, and then took a few seconds of unhurried shots at the top of the arc before passing the basketball to Yang- The Yanhua of Porowskis.

Yan Hua, who had been pushed to the left of the free throw line by Jan Porowskis, suddenly exerted strength after receiving a pass from Liu Wei, and while slapping the basketball, he moved towards Jan Porowskis behind him After bumping into it, after feeling a gap behind him, Yan Hua quickly faked and swayed, followed by a very quick turn, and broke through the defense of Jan Poroskis before the double-teaming of the Greek players was formed , rushed towards the basket.

"This guy is so fast!" After Yan Hua got rid of him, he quickly turned around. Jan Porowskis, who was about to defend, saw the guy wearing the No. 12 jersey hanging on the basket after finishing his turn. up.

Looking at Yan Hua hanging on the basket, Jan Porowskis with a bewildered face, and Yonas standing on the sidelines, he also shook his head helplessly. The gap in strength is too great. To the point where there is no way to make up for it.

"There are talented people from generation to generation!" When Yan Hua completed the dunk and high-fived with his teammates who rushed up, he once coached the Huaguo men's basketball team, coached Yao Ming, and led the Huaguo men's basketball team to the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games. Yunus also sighed from the bottom of his heart, after Yao Ming, the Huaguo men's basketball team has a successor.
