Chapter 546 Insight into Tactics
I am the captain?Kramil never expected that the captain's "handover ceremony" would come so hastily.

"This is my last game in the national team." Rutherford then "announced" the news that he was about to retire from the national team, which made it difficult for Kramer to accept for a while.

"Captain, you!" Kramer was agitated and uncontrollable. In the eyes of many young New Zealand players, Rutherford was like a legend, so when he announced his retirement, many young players had the same reaction as Kramer.

"It's the last game, don't let me leave any regrets." Rutherford's face was full of reluctance, but he was also very calm. He knew in his heart that this day would come sooner or later. As long as a professional player took the initiative to leave the field, Rutherford hoped that he would not leave any regrets when he left.

"I see." Kramir quickly collected his emotions. He hoped that he could win the game for Rutherford as a "retirement gift" for him.

Kramer became more focused, and his actions became more rapid. Although the Chinese team changed their coping strategies, the rhythm was still controlled by New Zealand, so they were still a little passive.

The news of Rutherford's "retirement" seemed to be a "stimulant" shot, which not only inspired Kramer's fighting spirit, but also infected other players, and became more active towards the game.

This is an effect that even Bugatti has never achieved. Rutherford is indeed the soul of the New Zealand team.

"Go!" The New Zealand team rushed towards the basket of the Chinese team like a group of "going to die" warriors.

Kramer and his teammates exchanged glances, and the other party understood his thoughts, and put forward a solid pick-and-roll to help Kramer bypass Zhang Jianing's defense smoothly.

The quality of this pick-and-roll is so high that even Zhang Jianing, who is physically strong, can't squeeze it out. You must know that the biggest weapons to break the pick-and-roll are body and strength.

Kramer successfully made a breakthrough and hit the basket. This time, Su Miao and Liu Tianyu had a long memory. One of them made thousands of defenses, and the other was responsible for guarding the basket, so as not to be taken advantage of by the opponent again.

"Alone?" Kramir rolled his eyes, locked on the position of the Chinese team's defender, and his brain was spinning rapidly, screening for the best opportunity to attack.

"Don't try to succeed." Su Miao was responsible for defending Rutherford under the basket, and Liu Tianyu, who was more flexible in his steps, stepped forward to defend.

Kramer smiled, and the three-step basket started, Liu Tianyu also jumped up, but he blocked it with one hand, and put the other hand down to his side. This action was by no means meaningless. Although the lowered hand didn't look like a defensive threat, it was actually blocking Kramer's passing line.

"So you were waiting for me here." Kramir had already seen through this trick, but he still made a pass.

"Come on." Liu Tianyu was secretly delighted when he saw that Kramil was going to pass the ball. His defense was just an illusion. Behind him, Li Tianlong and Mu Chenfeng were already ready to move. As long as Kramil passed the ball, they would be very sure to steal it.
"Don't think I can't see that this is a trap!" In the air, Kramer suddenly changed his offensive posture, passing the ball into a shot, and throwing a shot.

This was unexpected by Liu Tianyu. Kramer's goal fooled everyone present, including his teammates.

The basketball passed between Liu Tianyu's fingers and slipped into the net.

Kramir stayed in the air for less than 1 second, but he was able to make such an extreme reaction in such a short period of time. It was just that it was very difficult to change his body posture. Kramir could still throw the ball in this situation. It was terrible, really terrible.

Having "completed" several generals of the Chinese team one after another, Kramer is now full of confidence. After all, he is the captain of the national team who has just been "promoted". Although it is not official yet, his performance must conform to his identity.

The New Zealand team played a wave of 8-2 offensive at the beginning and temporarily took the lead.

The team's new core, Kramir, has a strong sense of presence, and every point of the team is related to him.

The Chinese team was forced to suspend adjustments. So far in the Asian Cup, the Chinese team has not experienced such a disadvantageous start.

"Give up Kramir." Fang Tianzheng formulated a new tactic for the team, which was to allow Kramir to attack, reduce the restrictions on him, and focus on other players.

"Why?" the team member asked in confusion.

"Tactics, you'll know later." Fang Tianzheng asked the team members to follow suit, without thinking about anything else.

The team members hadn't understood the core meaning of Fang Tianzheng's tactics, so they had to defend according to his requirements, lighten the restrictions on Kramer, block the practice between him and his teammates, and concentrate the ball on Kramer as much as possible.

"What is the Chinese team doing? Knowing that Kramer is in good condition, you still let him attack?" The New Zealand players were a little confused.

"Why do I feel that there is danger?" Rutherford looked at the confrontation between Kramer and the Chinese team, and the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong, his back was slightly chilled, but he didn't know what he was worried about.

"Is there any danger, look at the score."

With the efforts of Kramer alone, the New Zealand team has widened the point difference. In a wave of 6-2, the New Zealand team led by 10 points.

14-4, usually the Chinese team is the leading team, but the New Zealand team insisted on committing the following offense and completed a brief counterattack.

"Back to defense!"

Kramer has become more and more like a captain. Since Rutherford passed on the "captain" status to him, he seems to have changed his personality. The more he plays, the more confident he is, and the more comfortable he is with the team. Before that, he never dared to "point fingers" at the players in the team, because he was the youngest one on the team, and everyone else was senior to him, so he was very cautious when speaking, for fear of offending anyone.

Even if his teammates have problems, Kramer still chooses to "shut up."

However, under the blessing of the captain's status, Kramer became daring to speak out, but not irrational. His "criticism" and "suggestions" to his teammates were bloody. Of course, what he did most was to encourage his teammates.

The tactics of the Chinese team on both offensive and defensive ends were "exploded", and they were unable to play a complete and smooth cooperation.

Once again, Kramir had an insight into the tactics of the Chinese team. After completing the fast break, he shook his head at the Chinese team, "With me here, you don't want to play tactics."

"Oh? Is that so?" Mu Chenfeng stood up and said slowly, "Today I will let you see what the real "tactics" are, tactics that you can't predict at all."
