It's the god of death

Chapter 226 227 Various postures for breaking the zone defense!Next fight, Dream Team!
"Congratulations Xiaoye, the men's basketball team has qualified ahead of schedule."

"Three consecutive victories, Brother Ye, you guys are really amazing!!!

I read reports that the men's basketball players will secure the first place in the group if they win another game, come on! "

Ye Ying in the apartment once again received all kinds of encouragement from Olympic athletes.

This time, Ye Ying felt at ease.

Not because of the win, but because of the attitude of the teammates.

Well, Ye Ying couldn't take into account the mentality of the defended Italian player who only scored 58 points, a record low in the Olympics.

"Everyone work hard. After the Olympic games are over, I will arrange a private massage. Then everyone will be happy for a few days before returning home."

Ye Ying, who is happy, is naturally hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Looking at the glint in the eyes of those teammates, Ye Ying felt that he might have wasted his feelings before. If he came early, maybe the previous games would be won easily, right?
……

On the 21st and 23rd, the Chinese team won three consecutive victories and then defeated the American powerhouse Argentina and the European powerhouse Serbia and Montenegro to end their group stage with five consecutive victories!

Ye won them and advanced to the quarter-finals as the No. [-] in Group A!
According to the rules of the Olympic Games, Ye Ying and his teammates will face Puerto Rico, which is fourth in Group B.

Then, their winners will play against the winners of the United States and Spain!
Well, it's worth mentioning that the US lost to Lithuania in addition to Puerto Rico in the group stage.

The myth of the dream team has been shattered!
On the 25th, the men's basketball knockout round of the Athens Olympic Games officially started.

The Chinese team will also face Puerto Rico, which just defeated the American Dream Team in the group opener.

Ye Ying and his teammates attach great importance to this game!

First of all, they must be able to crack the zone defense to win the game, and then it is best to learn all the essence of the zone defense that Puerto Rico defeated the US team.

In this way, they can have greater confidence in facing the US team next!

Speaking of their opponent Puerto Rico in the quarter-finals, although they defeated the US team in the group stage, their good luck seems to be limited to this.

In the remaining five games, Puerto Rico only won one game. In the end, with 1 wins and 4 losses, they barely qualified for the fourth place in Group B.

The Puerto Rico team is naturally strong, but more media are still optimistic that the Chinese team, which has won all five games, will win the game and enter the semi-finals in history!

This game has aroused widespread concern on the land of China-whether the Chinese team can make history, or even win a card, in one fell swoop!
That night, the Olympic Stadium in Athens had already turned into a sea of ​​red.

At this historic moment, countless Chinese fans who are near or far from Athens came to the scene to cheer for Ye Ying and them.

Although the outside world is very optimistic about Ye Ying and them, after all, the opponent is a team that has defeated the Dream Team. They hope that their cheering can bring Ye Ying and them more energy!

The ghost knows what kind of performance Puerto Rico can play in this desperate situation, and whether it will give the Chinese team a head-on blow!
"The players of the Chinese men's basketball team will not be too easy tonight. The audience friends may not know much about the players of the Puerto Rico team. Let me just say something here.

In terms of personal strength, we have no advantages except Dayao and Xiaoye, but in terms of overall strength, Puerto Rico's tactical quality is stronger!

Their zone defense is a headache even for the US team.

Is the Chinese team going to let Dayao and Xiaoye use their absolute strength to break Puerto Rico's defense tonight, or are the two of them going to contain the other players to share the pressure for them?

let us wait and see! "

When Ye Ying and his teammates warmed up on the court, Director Zhang of Zhuang TV analyzed.

"Although Puerto Rico's performance in the group stage was not good, the state of their head star Arroyo in this Olympic Games is really amazing.

In the NBA, he is not even a second-rate star, but his performance in the Olympic Games is not inferior to those top point guards. "

Yu Jia then explained.

At this time, amidst the cheers of the Chinese fans at the scene, the big screen at the scene gave the starting list of the two teams.

Chinese team: Ye Ying, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Xiao Yi and Dayao;

Puerto Rico: Arroyo, Rick Apodaca, Carmelo Lee, Nathan Pavel and Pete Ramos.

Jumping with Dayao was Puerto Rico's talented center Pete Ramos. Although this bald tough guy is only 19 years old, he is astonishingly 2 meters tall and weighs 20 kilograms!

Ramos has a huge height advantage and occupies an important position in Puerto Rico's defensive system. In the previous game against the United States, he made the American team suffer on the offensive end.

At the jump ball, Yao, who was fully focused on the jump, beat Ramos and gave the Chinese team a chance to attack first.

"Dayao is very imposing tonight!

His successful jump ball also made a good start for the Chinese team tonight's game! "

Director Zhang explained.

On the court, while observing Puerto Rico's defensive formation, Ye Ying dribbled the ball in a leisurely manner to the top of the arc in the middle.

Like playing the US team, Puerto Rico's defensive end tonight is a 2-3 zone defense.

2-3 zone defense, generally speaking, there are 2 people on the line and 3 people off the line.

Two people on the line stand at the two endpoints of the free throw line.

The 2 players on the outside of the line must not draw the three-point line, and defend in one step inside the three-point line.

One person in the middle of the offline guards the basket.

This kind of zone defense is highly targeted to teams with strong breakthrough ability and inside strength. Part of the reason why the US team lost to Puerto Rico is because of this.

On the Puerto Rico team, Arroyo and Apodaka exchanged glances and approached Ye Ying quickly, trying to double-team!
The coach of Puerto Rico had emphasized to them before the game that the current scoring leader of the Chinese team is Dayao, but the offensive engine is Ye Ying, so they have the opportunity to make the Chinese team's engine fail as soon as possible.

On the court, Ye Ying once again did not disappoint his teammates, and gave a high lob to Dayao who circled near the free throw line.

"Shh-!"

Dayao turned around and hit the target with a soft mid-range shot.

2:0.

The Chinese team set the record first!

Dayao and Ye Ying, who returned to defense, clapped hands easily.

Hey, this zone defense isn't that hard to break!
"This zone defense is broken beautifully!"

When Yu Jia and many spectators were cheering for the Chinese team, Director Zhang analyzed.

"Friends in the audience, don't look at this attack as a simple pass, in fact it has a lot of knowledge.

Just now, Xiaoye's position was very particular. In that position, if one person defended, Xiaoye would immediately burst out.

Come two?
Hey, Xiaoye directly and quickly divides the ball, and teammates can score! "

Only then did Yu Jia come back to her senses, and followed the rhythm of Director Zhang,

"That's right, this is what Director Zhang usually says:
It is reasonable for Xiaoye to play. "

The two looked at each other and smiled.

On the court, while Director Zhang and Yu Jia were talking, Puerto Rico was not polite, and went straight to the double screen, and Arroyo used the screen to make a three-pointer with an emergency stop.

2 is better than 3!

"That's what we said about Arroyo before the game.

The NBA's three-point line is longer than in international competitions, and his long-range shooting ability is not obvious, but in the international arena, Arroyo's three-pointers are really accurate. "

Director Zhang continued to explain.

"That's right, our national team's Ye Ying's three-point shooting rate has improved compared to the NBA, and that's the reason.

They all belong to the kind of representatives who have not weakened but become stronger in the international arena. "

Yu Jia added in a timely manner.

On the court, the Chinese team's second attack.

The Puerto Rico team still double-teamed Ye Ying, and Ye Ying once again hung to Dayao.

This time, Puerto Rico's talented center Ramos did not hesitate, rushing out of the paint to defend.

Unexpectedly, Dayao did not shoot this time, but was prepared to throw the basketball to the basket.

"Bangdang-!"

Dunk dunk from classmate Xiaoyi!
4 is better than 3!

The red waves at the scene began to roll.

In this game, the Chinese team faced Puerto Rico, which defeated the US team, without any discomfort. They even seemed to be extremely well prepared, and regarded Puerto Rico's zone defense as nothing!
"Pretty!
It's too late now, and when the meeting is suspended, I will analyze this attack from the tactical board for everyone.

There are many ways to break the zone defense. Among them, the best way is to quickly pass the ball out of the open space, but this requires a very high overall tacit understanding, so it may be more difficult for members of our national team.

Then there is the 1-3-1 position that Xiaoye and the others used just now.

The core of this formation is Dayao's point near the free throw line.

However, players at this point need to be able to shoot or break through. Of course, it is best to pass the ball, which depends on the player's personal ability.

As for Dayao, his ability is naturally nothing to say, he is good at all these things. "

During Zhang's commentary, Puerto Rico's offense failed this time.

Arroyo wanted to repeat the old trick, but she didn't expect that the Chinese team had already communicated. Xiaoyi stepped forward to delay, and Ye Ying quickly continued to defend.

In the end, Arroyo scored the ball to Apodaca, and the well-known Puerto Rico captain in the United States hit the iron in the middle distance under Li Nan's tenacious defense.

Ever since Ye Ying said that he won the game and took his teammates to a private club, the defense of these men's basketball players is really desperate!

On the court, Dayao protected the backboard and dribbled the ball across the half court after observing the pass route of the Puerto Rico team Kaye won.

After coming to the free throw line, Dayao made a fake pass to Xiaoyi inside and then passed it to Ye Ying who made an air cut on the other side.

Ye Ying received the ball and made a realistic fake pass to the outside line, and then took one step, two steps, one step and two steps, like a dragon's pace!

Once the mad dragon comes out, no one can stop it!

"Bangdang-!"

Seeing Ye Ying who filled the frame with both hands after completing the dragon breakthrough, the head coach of Puerto Rico shook his head helplessly.

"This NBA FMVP is really too scary!"

The grasp of the timing of the air cut, the realism of the breakthrough fake moves, as well as the flexibility and coordination of the body are all top-notch!

6 to 3, the Chinese team continued to expand its lead.

But looking back, Arroyo showed his fiery state, assisted Ramos after a pick-and-roll with Ramos and scored in the mid-range.

Arroyo, who has been stealing from Stockton for a long time in the Jazz, has excellent pass control ability, and this ball feeds Ramos very comfortably.

Dayao looked annoyed.

He gained a lot of weight in the past two seasons to fight O'Neal.

The result is that Yao has become more and more threatening in the low post, but his mobility has also been reduced by more than half, resulting in his help defense is indeed not as good as before.

6 is better than 5!

The score became anxious again.

On the sidelines, watching the alternately rising scores, Coach Harris was not in a hurry.

Tonight, the Chinese team's defense is man-to-man, which is very conducive to maintaining physical fitness.

And Puerto Rico's zone defense effect is good, but the physical exertion is really fast.

Moreover, in addition to the 131 formation, the pick-and-roll, outside soaring three-pointers, Ye Ying and his friends tried it.

Only by trying more can they have a better understanding of zone defense.

In this way, they can have a better response plan when facing the US team and their next opponents.

The Puerto Rico team is very tough, and Arroyo's condition is really good, but when the Chinese team also played zone defense, those Puerto Rican team players discovered——

So you guys can do this too?

Then, they watched helplessly as the Chinese team opened up the point difference step by step.

And they can only hate the quarter-finals.

In the end, 86 to 77.

The Chinese team defeated the Puerto Rico team in the quarter-finals and advanced to the semi-finals in a historic way!

At the end of the game, the moment Yao threw the basketball into the sky, a red tsunami began to wreak havoc on the scene!
The semi-finals have already entered, will the medal be far behind?
Even some daring fans are already looking forward to it.

In the next semi-finals, the Dream Team, which had already lost two games in the group stage, really didn't seem so invincible!
叶赢，本场比赛打满全场，14投8中，其中三分球6中3，罚球5中5，拿到了的24分、4个篮板、12次助攻、4次抢断！
Arroyo, who scored 20 points and 7 assists against him, performed brilliantly, but was completely overshadowed by Ye Ying.

而大姚，虽然出场时间只有30分钟，但是在这有限的30分钟时间里疯狂输出，得到了全场最高的26分外加11次篮板7次助攻4次封盖！
Really. Inside killer!
Ye Ying, who cooperated with Dayao, looked refreshed.

The more he plays with Dayao, the more Ye Ying has a sense of dependence on Dayao. This kind of all-round big man really loves and loves him!

And Dayao is the same.

He can support, defend and attack, and his IQ is always online. He can't help but love such a point guard.

At this time, Dayao couldn't help thinking how great it would be if the two of them were teammates in the NBA.

But he just thought about it.

In order to maximize the benefits, Stern will not allow the two of them to be on the same team, and with the Rockets owner's picky temper, he will not be able to attract Ye Ying.

Closer to home, after the historic break into the semi-finals, domestic and international public opinion exploded directly.

A few months ago, when Ye Ying said that he wanted to bring the Chinese men's basketball team to the podium of the Athens Olympics, he received a lot of ridicule.

And now, all of this is slowly moving towards reality!
Public opinion in China has already exploded!
In terms of the three major goals, in addition to the women's volleyball team, China finally has another project that can be taken!

In the past, although the Chinese men's basketball team has always been the hegemony in Asia, it has always been almost meaningless in the international basketball world. Now, after repeatedly defeating European and American powerhouses, the Chinese men's basketball team has become a force that cannot be ignored in the world basketball world.

After the game, a reporter asked Ye Ying,

"Ye, as far as I know, your country has given you the task of reaching the quarterfinals. Now that you have overfulfilled the task, do you have any expectations for the next game?"

Ye Ying's eyes flashed,
"Before my goal was to be on the podium, now, my goal has changed.

Why, can't the national anthem be played because of our men's basketball team? "
