The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 131 Lockdown Group [-] (Part [-]) (Please subscribe, please collect)

"By the way, now that the competition has been played, in what areas do you think we have problems, apart from the possibility that our physical strength has declined, or we have already entered the group qualifying places, and we are a little slack, what kind of problems have occurred in other aspects." Sun Zhengping said to Zhang Weiping.

As a senior in the men's basketball team, Zhang Weiping can be said to be the person who can see the problems of the Chinese team best besides the coaching staff.

"I think today is mainly about offense. There are two main issues with offense. One is the ratio of inside and outside shots. Yao Ming can contain opponents inside, but the Chinese team didn't take advantage of this at all. They made 6 out of [-] shots from outside. Such a three-point shooting percentage is impossible to beat the Greek team. Second, the opponent's defensive strength cut off Lin Yue and his teammates in a row. Don't look at Lin Yue's [-] assists in the half. This is different from Lin Yue's previous style of play. Analyzed very seriously.

In the locker room, Jonas summed up the Chinese team's offense in the first half for a long time. With Yao Ming's limited playing time, the Chinese team's tactics are limited.

Greece has been at its peak these years. Two years ago, the lineups of the Greek and Chinese teams have not changed much from the current ones, but they still lost 30 points to their opponents.

In this game, the Chinese team can only do so much.

"The game started in the second half. In the first half, Lin Yue scored the team's highest score of 10 points. Yao Ming only scored 8 points and 4 rebounds. Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi both scored 6 points. The Greek team controlled the ball." Sun Zhengping said.

The Greek team made a mistake in this offensive pass, Zhu Fangyu stole the ball and advanced to launch a fast break.

After reaching near the free throw line, Zhu Fangyu passed back to Sun Yue who was barely beyond the three-point line.

At the same time, he used Yao Ming's cover to run outside the three-point line, and made an open shot after receiving a pass from Sun Yue.

With a sound of "Shua!", the Chinese team finally broke the three-point scoring drought, and Zhu Fangyu approached the score for the Chinese team.

But the Greek team is not a vegetarian. They have strong tactical literacy. After continuous screens, running positions, and passes, there are also opportunities for three-pointers to open up, and they play the team basketball to the extreme.

An answer ball stabilized the score.

In the next 5 minutes, the two sides were in a state of confrontation. The Chinese team's defense today was actually not bad, limiting the opponent's shooting percentage to about 45%, but their own shooting percentage of less than 40% was the key to widening the point difference.

Zhu Fangyu then hit another three-pointer, but the difference between the two teams widened.

The offensive end was completely restricted, and Yao Ming was replaced by Jonas.

"Yao Ming, take a break. You will be required to contribute in the next knockout round, so I will leave it to my teammates." Yonas said to Yao Ming.

Obviously, Jonas has seen through Yao Ming's injury status, and this is also for the sake of the future.

Seeing his teammates working hard but being useless, Yao Ming felt somewhat strange, but he could only endure and fight for a better tomorrow.

"Lin Yue, you can increase the frequency of your personal attack after playing. It doesn't matter if you lose this time. It is mainly for training. You are still young and need to accumulate experience in big competitions." Guo Shiqiang patted Lin Yue on the shoulder and said to him.

Winning or losing this game will affect the ranking, as long as the points difference is not too big, the Chinese team still has the chance to be second in the group.

After Lin Yue came on the field, he first tried a three-pointer at the top of the arc. Although the shot missed, his decisiveness on the offensive end showed his attitude.

After that, he passed the opponent's defense again and scored two points with a pull-up layup.

Since he has the unlimited right to fire, Lin Yue will naturally not be polite.

The Greek team played steadily, and the offense focused on stability, so the Chinese team could not launch a fast-break counterattack. Lin Yue's assists also remained at 6. While the score increased, the assists did not change.

"Lin Yue seems to have a chance for a triple-double this time." After Lin Yue assisted Chen Jianghua to score a layup with a long pass, Zhang Weiping looked at the scoreboard and said.

Lin Yue has won a triple-double in the NCAA, but in the national team, his assists have never been in double figures.

Regardless of whether he wins or loses this match, Lin Yue wants to change his style of play.

Lin Yue scored 20 points on a mid-range layback hit after the step back. The point difference between the Chinese team and the Greek team was still around 10 points, and they still hadn't recovered in the middle of the third quarter.

"I'm so tired." After wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, Lin Yue couldn't help complaining.

The overall strength of Greece is indeed stronger than that of the Chinese team, and the loss is also expected.

In the fourth quarter, Yunus simply did not replace Lin Yue and chose to compromise.

After this game, the ranking of the group is very grim.

Spain, Greece, and China all have a 3-2 record in the group stage.Spain defeated Greece, Greece defeated China, and China defeated Spain. In the end, relying on the advantage of point difference, the Chinese team successfully came to the second place in the group stage, which also gave many people a reassurance.

On August 8th, that is, two days later, the Chinese team ushered in their opponents in the quarter-finals, the Croatian team, which successfully avoided the two strong teams of Lithuania and Argentina.

It is also beneficial to be second in the group. For the next two days, Lin Yue disconnected from the outside world, and he has an explanation for the Chinese team's eating and online status.

"Brothers, after winning this game, we will enter the semi-finals and create the best result in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team. We only need to work hard. It is not difficult." Yao Ming encouraged his opponents who were not in good spirits in the training session.

After all, it is the home position, and the Chinese men's basketball team is really moving forward with a heavy burden.

The loss to the Greek team in the last game relieved the players a lot of burden. Although the media was nitpicking, the Chinese team also understood their own shortcomings after the winning streak was broken.

The first few games were won by relying on a guaranteed hit rate and stable three-pointers. The three-pointer hit rate in the game was only 20%, which naturally cannot defeat a strong enemy.

In the 2002 World Championships, the Croatian team defeated traditional European teams, including the Russian national basketball team and the Serbian national basketball team; and finally achieved No.2007 in the 6 EuroBasketball Championship, which is not ideal.

However, the Croatian men's basketball team won the qualification to participate in the defeat match, and finally stood out in the defeat match held in Athens, and was qualified to participate in the BJ Olympic Games.

Not only that, Croatia beat the Australian men's basketball team, the Russian men's basketball team and the Iranian men's basketball team to get the third seed in Group A.

This result made the players of the Chinese team very satisfied. If they met the Lithuanian and Argentine men's basketball teams, they would not be sure that they would be able to beat their opponents in the quarterfinals.

Now the emergence of Croatia has become a dawn for the Chinese men's basketball team, and perhaps making history is just around the corner.

……

On August 8, the Wukesong Stadium was full of seats, and the tickets were sold out early, and the scalpers took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.

After a good rest, Yao Ming's foot injury was slightly relieved, and the rest of the teammates were also ready to go and warmed up one after another.

Tonight they will have the opportunity to become the creators of history. Everyone knows that there is no room for loss tonight, and this game must be won.

　Since the author participated in the graduation reception today, the update time is a bit late, and the quality is not enough. I am really sorry. I will make some changes when I wake up tomorrow.
