God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 578 Run Run Run

The game between China and Spain was the second game on the afternoon of August 8. Before this game started, there was another contest in Group B. Greece unexpectedly beat Germany 12 to 87, which made Chang Wei’s opponent This European powerhouse has more vigilance.However, for the Chinese men's basketball team, it is more serious to deal with Spain in front of them first, and the Greek game is still to come!
Unexpectedly, Spain did not let the Gasol brothers start together in this game, but let Philip Reyes, who played in the Spanish League, partner with Gasol Jr. as the team's starting inside combination.Although Reyes has no NBA background, he performed well in the Spanish arena. He is good at running without the ball, can participate in the team's fast break, and has good flexibility.From this aspect, it can be seen that Spain is also preparing to use its athletic ability to overwhelm China's defense line. Of course, this is what they think.

Reyes is facing off against Yi Jianlian. After two years of NBA-level training and the special training given to him by Chang Wei, Yi Jianlian has also performed well in terms of movement speed and air-cutting positions. He may not be able to match Reyes. Compete.

Of course, Chang Wei is still worried about Spain's outside line. Although they sent the young Rubio instead of Calderon as the starting point guard this time, Navarro at the second position and Fernandez at the third position are not easy to mess with. of.Spain doesn't seem to care about small forwards. They are more used to letting tall guards swing upwards. The only pure third position, Mburu, is more like a soy sauce.However, this does not mean that Spain's flanks are not good, and Fernandez can fully afford the third position.

Before the start of the game, Gasol Jr. came to the bench of the Chinese team to say hello to Chang Wei. Hard work is inseparable.

Chang Wei is also very optimistic about this young big man, so he spares no effort to help him grow, and strongly recommends Gasol Jr. to be the starting center for the Bobcats.However, in the NBA, he always had no advantage against Yao Ming. Chang Wei teased: "Mark, you are going to face Yao Ming again. Are you sure you can beat him on our land this time?"

Gasol looked bitter: "I don't know, Yao is a difficult opponent. I also watched your last game live, and I always feel that Yao's strength has grown further. Often, I only said these words when I was chatting with you, this time my goal is to limit Yao’s performance in the interior as much as possible, the rest depends on my teammates.”

At 4:45 p.m., the second match of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games started on time. The Wukesong Gymnasium was packed. Chang Wei looked around and found that the auditorium was full of fiery red, and occasionally there were other colors as embellishments.Obviously, the 21-point loss to the United States in the first game did not make Chinese fans lose confidence. They are still looking forward to this game.

Yao Ming used his height to help the Chinese team get the ball in the first round. Unfortunately, Sun Yue's breakthrough layup was interfered by Reyes. Gasol Jr. accepted the rebound and handed it to Rubio.As a popular rookie in the NBA Draft next year, Rubio has already established a great reputation among the younger generation in Europe, but he is only a starter in the national team. The Spanish coach Reenses just hopes that he can quickly make a name for himself in the atmosphere of the Olympics. Just grow up.

After taking the ball across half court, Rubio immediately handed the ball to Navarro on the weak side, without giving Chen Jianghua a chance to entangle him. He had already seen the strength of this young point guard in the China-US war up.Navarro is also welcome. As the top scorer of the Spanish men's basketball team, he took the ball without hesitation. With the help of Gasol Jr., Navarro quickly pierced Sun Yue's defense. Before the defense came up, he easily hit his signature throw.

Sun Yue slapped his hands, looking very annoyed.Although this time it was because Gasol Jr. pulled high to cover, he still thought it was his fault because he didn't squeeze in the first time and continue to mark Navarro.Of course, even if Sun Yue rushed there, he might not be able to stop Navarro's throw, but this defensive attitude is very important, even more than the result.

But Sun Yue quickly made up for it. Looking back, he received a pass from Yao Ming at the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer. This was also the first goal scored by the Chinese team in this game.This more or less reduced the guilt in Sun Yue's heart, but it was not over yet. He was determined to stop Navarro when he attacked with the ball next time, at least let him pass the ball instead of shooting.

Sure enough, Spain's second offense was still handed over to Navarro, and this time he still called Gasol Jr. to pick and roll.This is also the difference between European players and American players. They don't have much personal heroism in their hearts. If the help of their teammates can make them complete the task more easily, they will never hesitate to ask their teammates.

But this time Sun Yue quickly squeezed through the cover and chased after Navarro's ass.His three blocked shots against the U.S. men's basketball team left a deep impression on the Spanish players. Finding that he did not get rid of Sun Yue, Navarro had only two options left, one is to continue to break through and then fall into the trap of Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian Clip, the second is to pass the ball before the opponent has closed the encirclement.

The rational Navarro made the right choice. He leaped high and threw the ball to Fernandez who was outside the three-point line. Zhu Fangyu rushed forward when he saw this. Any chance of an easy shot.It's a pity that Fernandez has the physical fitness to be comparable to the black players. He tried his best to push away Zhu Fangyu's defense, directly pulled out his hand, and the basketball fell into the basket.Although Fernandez didn't show any expression, Zhu Fangyu still felt his face was hot.

Jonas' face was very ugly. He didn't know whether Raines was doing it on purpose or not. Spain didn't plan to go deep inside to score from the beginning. Their two shots were outside the three-second zone, and they didn't match China at all. The team's inside combination head-on.Of course they have such strength, but this is not what Jonas wants to see, he hopes to put more pressure on the opponent.

So he simply stood up and walked to the sidelines, shouting at the players on the field: "Don't you remember what I said before? Run! Run! Run! Run for me! Don't be stingy with your energy, There are people behind you who can continue to play! If I see you walking on the court, I will replace you and let someone who can run go up and play!"
