against the front

Chapter 326
"Yan Hua pushed forward with the ball?"

After the U.S. men's basketball team strengthened the press in the backcourt and completed the steal, the Huaguo players on the court responded quickly, but their way of responding made everyone, including the Huaguo men's basketball team leader Coach Deng Huade was a little unexpected.

Yan Hua sent the baseline ball, and Liu Wei who had just got the ball was forced by Derrick Rose, but this time Liu Wei did not call Yan Hua to cover, but followed the countermeasures discussed with Yan Hua just now, in Yan Hua After crossing the baseline, he quickly handed over the basketball to Yan Hua, and let Yan Hua advance with the ball.

"Letting a center forward dribble forward may seem unbelievable, but for the current Huaguo national team, letting Yan Hua dribble forward may be the last and only way."

Almost at the moment when Yan Hua dribbled the ball forward, Zhang Lili in the CCAV studio hall understood the purpose of Yan Hua's doing so. With Hua Na's elusive pass, the Huaguo men's basketball team played very well, but in the face of the US team's increasingly strong pressing defense, the old problems of the Huaguo men's basketball team inevitably appeared.

If the Huaguo men's basketball team can't solve this stubborn problem, then the only way to wait for them is to be defeated. A crash is undoubtedly a scenario that no one wants to see.

Judging from the current situation, the Huaguo players on the field are also trying to break the game, but the way they broke the game inevitably makes people a little worried. However, as an expert, Zhang Li is very clear. In addition, the Huaguo men's basketball team has no other options.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the ball feel and ball control level of inside players are far inferior to outside players, but Yan Hua is just the opposite. In this Huaguo men's basketball team that lacks rhythm masters and top guards, as a center Yan Hua is the player with the best up-and-down ball sense in the team. Even the defenders are best at ball control and dribbling. Yan Hua has not lost too much to the main point guard Liu Wei. , vision, and grasp of the rhythm on the court, Yan Hua is worse than Liu Wei, a genuine point guard.

If you also consider that it is Kevin Durant and Tyson Chandler who are defending Yan Hua, it is indeed safer for Yan Hua to drive the ball forward than Liu Wei. Judging from the opening few minutes, Liu Wei had no way to break through the blockade of Derrick Rose with his personal ability, and Kevin Durant and Tyson Chandler worked together to block Yan Yan. magnificent.

Even if the U.S. men's basketball team adopts a misplaced defense strategy, using a small guard like Derrick Rose to press Yan Hua will hardly have a good effect. After all, using a small player to defend Yan Hua will It means completely giving up the blocking of Yan Hua's passing route. A player with such height and arms as Kevin Durant can't completely block Yan Hua's passing route, let alone Derrick Rose. This kind of small player with height and wingspan is very different from Yan Hua.

Just when Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping began to analyze the pros and cons of Yan Hua's control of the ball, the old coach K standing on the sidelines, watching Kevin Durant who was given a clean pass by Yan Hua on the court, also frowned.

How to prevent it?Tyson Chandler, a typical inside player, falls into a positional battle, and it’s okay to push from behind. Once Yan Hua is allowed to run, it is definitely one step away. Kevin Durant is better than Tyson Qian. Dele is stronger, but it is impossible to expect him to press Yan Hua like Derrick Rose pressed Liu Wei.

As for letting Derrick Rose go to the small defense?In the mind of the old coach K, there is no such option at all. Let Derrick Rose displace Yan Hua, let alone whether he can get the desired effect, what if Yan Hua chooses to pass the ball?With Yan Hua's height and vision, a long pass to the frontcourt is an excellent opportunity for a quick break. At that time, the frontcourt is two-on-two, Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love are two. They will definitely be able to accommodate Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.

When Yan Hua held the ball from the backcourt, he easily got rid of Kevin Durant who was sticking to the defense and Tyson Chandler who was defending, and rushed to the sky before Kevin Love retreated to the basket After the basket was scored, at the Kadir Haz Stadium, whether it was the fans who traveled thousands of miles to support the Huaguo men's basketball team, or the local audience who wanted to see the demeanor of the dream team, they all sent crazy cheers to Yan Hua. Cheers and applause.

"Unexpectedly, this type of inside player can be born in this environment." Although Yan Hua is his opponent and enemy now, the old coach K also has to admit that Yan Hua's strength in this attack The performance really opened my eyes. Not only that, but the old coach K also thought of the prosperous age that belonged to the center, and remembered those super centers who were called the small forwards in the center.

Some people say that the rules have changed the times, and some people say that the players have changed the times. No matter which one it is, in short, the current NBA and the current world basketball world are no longer dominated by inside players. There has never been a center who can dominate the game.

Although in the NBA last season, Yan Hua played phenomenal performances on both ends of the offense and defense, and also led the Sacramento Kings to win the O'Brien Cup. It can be called a miraculous performance, but in the eyes of the old coach K, compared with Yan Hua's template, Hakeem Olajuwon in his peak period, Yan Hua still lacks now.

Hakeem Olajuwon at his peak, together with David Robinson, one of the four major centers, was known as the small forward among the centers, organized with the ball, one-stop fast break in the backcourt, chasing the opponent's cap Guards, one-on-one defenders defending each other's defenders, are commonplace for Olajuwon. Everything that a center can do on the court, Olajuwon can do, and what a small forward can do on the court, Olajuwon can do the same He is also capable, and this is where the old coach K thinks that Yan Hua is not as good as Olajuwon.

Judging from the attack with the ball just now and the performance in the first few minutes, Yan Hua is on par with Olajuwon in his peak period. Using the small forward in the center to describe Yan Hua is absolutely worthy of his name. Anyway, even the old coach K was imagining what it would be like to use Yan Hua to play the No. 1 position. A big man with a height of 2 meters played the No. 16 position, just thinking about it feels crazy.
