In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 23 The price of stubbornness, winning the championship
The Karen Lake incident did not change because of Zhang Tian's rebirth, it still happened.

"Help me push it, just say that I have to prepare to participate in the draft, and I don't have time to go to training camp."

Zhang Tian was telling the truth. After finishing the World Youth Championship, he rushed to the United States. As for the training camp of the Olympic team, forget it. Even if he went, he would not be able to take Hu Weidong away. The starting position of the top Chinese men's basketball team.

Xia Song understands that now Zhang Tian has led the Chinese team to the finals, and is likely to win the gold medal. He has become a hero. There's nothing he can't beat, after all, Zhang Tian came out of the wild, not from the youth training system.

Rick Carlisle was very depressed. At the critical moment of the playoffs, he was sent to Lisbon by Larry Bird to investigate a swingman with no professional game experience.

Is it crazy to force the king? Now that the Pacers have no less than four players in the second and third positions, is it really necessary to investigate a guy who has no professional game experience?Is Indiana missing a real patron saint next to the drinking fountains?
Although Jim Carrey's twin brother was an underestimated head coach in his previous life, he is not that enthusiastic about cultivating rookies. Unless the boss or the management forces him to do so, otherwise the other party still prefers to have experience. old player.

What makes the assistant coach of the Pacers even more painful is that he didn't meet a fan when he arrived in Lisbon. Hey, no matter what, he has a star face, and someone who was a champion in the Kaizi in his player days, why is he completely reduced on the streets of Lisbon? For the pure passerby.

Rick Carlisle groaned, and came to the venue for the finals. Tonight, there were still no more than 5000 people in the entire arena. Rick Carlisle did not encounter the situation of being slaughtered by scalpers, because many seats were empty.

The game is about to start, Rob Evans has made adjustments to the starting lineup, Casey Jacobson is on the third position, not Bobby Simmons in the group stage, the future most improved player is Rob Evans was put on the bench, and the other four remained unchanged.

And Rob Evans is also conducting a 3-2 zone defense against Zhang Tian. Anyway, he can copy whatever the previous opponent did.

The execution of this civilian American team is quite good. At the beginning, Steve Logan used the pick-and-roll of Michael Wright in the fourth position to break into the inside line. He did not give the Chinese team a chance to help the defense in the third position, and directly broke into the inside line to complete the dunk.

This level of execution is not at the same level as in the first group match. Liu Wei slowly dribbled the ball forward. He needed to suppress the rhythm and couldn't run with the US team. That would be a mess.

While Zhang Tian was without the ball, Kathy Jacobson, a swingman from California, did not keep a close eye on him. Zhang Tian still retreated like the previous game. The former followed up, and Zhang Tian Colliding with the opponent's body, the 198-year-old Casey Jacobson weighs only more than 90 kilograms. This is a very light striker, which is two extremes from the Spanish James in the previous game.

The latter's body was knocked away by Zhang Tian. Liu Wei still saw Zhang Tian's position after fighting with Steve Logan. He threw the ball to Zhang Tian like a shot put. The ball is unambiguous at all, jumping up, tucking in your stomach, sticking out your chest, and throwing the ball out.

Rick Carlisle in the auditorium frowned. This game was played too casually, and he shot whenever he had a chance, without considering whether he could get in or not.

Swipe, the ball went into the basket under Rick Carlisle's defamation, but Jim Carrey still recorded Zhang Tian's major shortcoming in his notebook-lack of discipline.

The U.S. team attacked, and Steve Logan still called Michael Wright for a high pick-and-roll, but this time Moko took the initiative to follow.

The No. [-] position of the U.S. team did not hesitate and threw the ball directly to Nick Collison who was one-on-one with Li Ke in the penalty area. Nick Collison shook Li Ke up and easily put the ball into the basket in the basket.

They played too patiently, and they were completely two teams from the group stage. The Chinese team still looked at Zhang Tian. He got the ball near [-] degrees on the right. In the past, while Casey Jacobson was already clinging to Zhang Tian in front, the third position of the Chinese team faced this shameless double-team choice and passed the ball to Yue Pengfei.

And Du Lin returned to his original position at the fastest speed. The second position of the Chinese team did not pass the ball. I didn't expect the second position of the Chinese team to be so arrogant.

The goal was also scored. Under the influence of Zhang Tian and the continuous impact of the team's record, everyone's spirit and self-confidence have reached a critical point.Throw it when you have a chance, whether you get in or not is a matter of luck, and whether you vote or not is your own problem.

Since they can win the US team once and reach the final, there is no reason to give up the chance to compete for the championship.

Yue Pengfei is a crazy knife. He hits like crazy, and no one can stop him. After scoring the step-back three-pointer, this guy also started to run all over the field. His ball handling is average, but his off-ball ability It's still quite good, the opponent scored a personal highest score in the first half-9 points.It's all three-pointers.

And Zhang Tian also benefited from this. It is impossible for Rob Evans to continue to double-team Zhang Tian, ​​because Zhang Tian's halftime statistics are 8 points and 3 assists, two of which are from Yue Pengfei.

The U.S. team is actually not short of three-pointers. Bobby Simmons, Matt Carroll, and Casey Jacobson are all capable of shooting, but Rob Evans is a loyal believer in Larry Brown. He is the most disgusting player. For long-range shots, instead of shooting three-pointers, it is better to shoot two-pointers. For breakthroughs, "the closer to the basket, the higher the score" is an eternal truth.

The No. 9 striker Lebor scored four three-pointers in the last game against Brazil, and he was the biggest contributor to the victory. As a result, he was not praised after the game. Instead, he was defeated by Robue in today's final Vince was thrown off the list because the opponent violated his tactical intentions.

After losing the point of Leiboer on the outside, and the other strong points on the outside were all defended by the head coach, it became a luxury for the US team to win. Although their defense was good, only China The team scored 70 points, but because of too much energy on defense, the offense only scored 65 points.

The Chinese team played this final more easily than the semi-finals and Spain. In the previous life, Spain won the United States by relying on a group of shooters from Navarro to beat the US team to the ground, and the Chinese team also successfully copied Spain. myth.Zhang Tian scored 15 points in the whole game, but he had the highest 8 assists. The No. 6 point guard Yue Pengfei scored the highest score of the Chinese team. He scored 29 points, including 6 three-pointers. All the luck that Zhang Tian plundered before has been recovered.

The US team scored evenly, but unfortunately they became losers again.
