The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 119 Zhu Fangyu Showing Power (Sorry for being late)
15 to 17, when the timeout was over, Sun Yue, Yao Ming, and Liu Wei were replaced by Chen Jianghua, Wang Shipeng and Wang Zhizhi.

After learning the lesson just now, Spain has increased the frequency of attacking the inside line. After Yao Ming was replaced, the height of the Chinese team's inside line dropped, which also strengthened their determination to attack the inside line.

However, Fernandez did not choose a personal attack this time, but suddenly scored to Gasol, who hit two points in the first two steps from the left baseline.

"Junior Gasol has the ability to shoot." Yu Jia said.

On the defensive end, Spain also switched strategies, instead of zone defense, they chose a tough half-court press.

Lin Yue is the only one who can handle the ball in the Chinese team, but when he passes the ball to his teammates, the rotation of others is at risk of being cut off.

Wang Shipeng's pass under defense was intercepted by the opponent, and Spain launched a fast break again.

Calderon gave Gasol Jr. Gasol's speed was not fast, and the Chinese team also quickly returned to defense, at least this time the fast break could not be played.

"The Chinese team returned to defense very quickly this time." Zhang Weiping praised.

Xiao Jia passed back to Calderon again, set a cover for his teammates and then slid down. Wang Zhizhi had already waited again.

Wang Shipeng was right behind him, passing the ball without looking at people did deceive the defender, but the strength was too great, Fernandez missed it, and then pulled it to the outside and leaned back to shoot.

It is impossible to score such difficult balls, and it is useless to feel good.

Lin Yue grabbed a defensive rebound and tried to advance.

However, the Spanish team retreated very quickly. Lin Yue originally wanted to have a handsome solo pass, and then catch a gliding split.

"think too much."

Lin Yue gave it to Chen Jianghua, who squeezed into the inside by virtue of his speed advantage, causing a foul.

In the first quarter after that, the difference between the two teams could not be opened.

The confrontation in the first quarter was intense, and both sides valued this game very much. Lin Yue's two mid-range shots helped the team to bite the score.

Spain, after Fernandez left the field, shifted the strength of the offense. After the small increase in possession of the ball, the number of attacks on the frame also increased.

Wang Shipeng didn't shoot a three-pointer in this quarter, and it's a pity that Lin Yue scored several good passes to him.

Chen Jianghua's chaotic battle and Wang Zhizhi's pie-eating became the points of grabbing points in the first quarter.

After the first quarter, Spain led the Chinese team by only two points 25 to 23. Lin Yue finished the first quarter after playing, scoring 4 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds.

"It can be clearly seen that Yunus spent significantly more time using Lin Yue," Yu Jia said.

This decision is very difficult for a coach. There are not many people who dare to reuse rookies in a competition like the Olympics, but Lin Yue won the favor of Yunus with his excellent organizational skills in the last game.

And Lin Yue's results in this quarter did not disappoint Yunus.

If Lin Yue's playing time in the last game was mostly due to garbage time, this game is definitely given enough time because he is regarded as the main force.

"Their opponent is the Spanish team, but the Chinese team should have done well in the first quarter. They are two points behind their opponents. Now the second quarter begins." Yu Jia said.

Wang Shipeng passed the ball to Chen Jianghua, Chen Jianghua took two steps and then passed it to Wang Shipeng, who was almost intercepted by the opponent from behind.

Lin Yue is sitting off the court right now, gasping for breath. The Spanish team gave him a lot of confrontation in the first quarter, and he felt a little tired after playing for a short time.

"Lin, are you okay?" Yao Ming sat on the bench and said to Lin Yue beside him.

Lin Yue took a sip of water to relax. The intensity of the Olympic Games is much stronger than that of the NCAA. Such a schedule made Lin Yue, who was experiencing high intensity for the first time, a little uncomfortable.

On the court, Zhu Fangyu was in the small forward position. Lin Yue's performance in the first quarter made him a bit blush as a senior. He is this year's double MVP.

The golden generation is said to be precisely because of the existence of these players.

"You have to set an example for the younger generation." Zhu Fangyu said to herself.

Li Nan came out from the bottom line, and Zhu Fangyu made a cover for him to block the defenders.

When Li Nan ran beyond the three-point line, Chen Jianghua's pass was delivered immediately.

With an open three-point shot, Li Nan made the shot as soon as he caught the ball, without any hesitation or adjustment.

"Strong goal, the Chinese team overtook the score."

Xiao Li Feidao came out of the rivers and lakes, and Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh with emotion off the court. Such an old man supported the national team's sky.

26 to 25, the game between the two teams was very anxious.

Looking back, Gasol is still on the court, and Gasol played in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, so this lineup is still used at the beginning.

Spain's point guard had Calderon, Fernandez did not play, which means they will attack the inside.

This is a bit embarrassing for Wang Zhizhi, who is not good at the center position. His style of play is still on the outside, a space-oriented power forward like Nowitzki.

However, Big Zhi was not willing to admit defeat. He fought one-on-one with Gasol on the inside, and Xiaojia was still much stronger in strength.

Seeing that he couldn't defend himself, Wang Zhizhi chose to foul. There was no other way, he couldn't just watch the opponent score.

Yunus glanced at Yao Ming who was chatting with Lin Yue, hesitating whether to replace him.

"It's better for Lin Yue and Yao Ming to go together."

Guo Shiqiang approached Yunus and said to him.

Yunus looked at the two people who got along well, and the cooperation on the field seemed to be very tacit, maybe binding to play would still have a certain effect.

In this case, this means that the lineup on the field will last for about 5 minutes, and the Yao-Lin combination will be replaced in the middle of the second quarter.

Looking at the somewhat helpless Wang Zhizhi, he knew what he should do.

Gasol Jr. stood on the free throw line, and his free throws were also very accurate.

At first glance, he looks like a technical center with a delicate touch.

The Chinese team served, and the Spanish team suddenly defended forcefully. Chen Jianghua flickered and moved past the opponent's defense line relying on speed.

The full-court press will indeed put a lot of pressure on the opponent's dribble, and there will be many mistakes when encountering a guard who is not stable in dribbling. But just like this, high returns are often accompanied by high risks.

Chen Jianghua gave the ball to Zhu Fangyu who was waiting outside the three-point line. He was ready to catch the ball and was waiting for Chen Jianghua to pass the ball to him.

This is a good opportunity for open space. The Spanish team's defensive formation was disrupted by Chen Jianghua just now.

With a knife in his hand, he received a pass from Chen Jianghua and scored a three-pointer.

With 29 to 27 points, the Chinese team went ahead by two points.

The Spanish team replaced Gasol to form a brother inside line. The twin towers of the two are bound to turn the Chinese team's inside line upside down.

So far, Yi Jianlian has only rested for 3 minutes, but he has to take on the defense of the inside, so the offense is to pick and roll to create opportunities for teammates.

Yao Ming still didn't play, and even the commentator Zhang Weiping began to question Yunus' judgment.

Sure enough, as soon as Gasol came up, he played a brotherly cooperation with his younger brother, and the two internal passes directly created opportunities at the basket.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Fangyu hit an unreasonable three-pointer against Carlos' defense at the top of the arc.

"Whoa, it's amazing, Zhu Fangyu's three-pointer is killing people."

Zhu Fangyu's expression seemed to tell the opponent that this is our home field, and I want to defend the glory here.
