Chapter 579 A Bunch of Mad Dogs

After receiving the instruction from Jonas, the five-man team of the Chinese team began to quicken their pace.Because FIBA ​​does not have a three-second defense rule, so Yao Ming only needs to stand firmly under the basket, and the other four are like mad dogs rushing to bite the Spanish players, not afraid of their own physical exertion. And lead to a series of symptoms such as calf cramps.

The sudden change of the Chinese team's defensive end has greatly increased the pressure on the Spanish players. They have never encountered such a defensive intensity in previous games. In their opinion, this kind of high-intensity oppressive defense should only be played by the US team, but Now the Chinese men's basketball team has shown them what it means to be a "mad dog".With the strength of the Spanish outside players, of course, they will not make frequent mistakes, but they still feel the suffocating pressure, and the fancy moves they usually use seem to have lost their effect.

Although Navarro and the others can still score with their strong personal abilities, their tactical system is also stumbling, which is what Jonas hopes to see.Long-term physical contact will inevitably lead to a large loss of physical strength, and Chang Wei specially strengthened the physical strength of the Chinese men's basketball players before the Olympics, so the mad dog defense will not trouble them.

Of course, such a defensive strategy is tantamount to killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, but firstly, the consumption of Yao Ming, the core leader, on the defensive end is not as great as expected, and secondly, there are many substitutes on the bench. When a group of people is exhausted, just replace them with another group.In addition to increasing their physical upper limit, Chang Wei also improved their recovery ability, just rest for a while.

This allowed Jonas to advance the time to replace the substitute. Just after 6 minutes in the first quarter, he took advantage of a dead ball to call a timeout and replaced the other four players except Yao Ming.They are replaced by Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Li Nan and Du Feng. Jonas's idea is to continue to increase his speed, and then use Yao Ming as the core to play the first and fourth juniors.

The choice of this lineup was not a whim of Jonas. He originally planned to strengthen the offense in the rest of the first quarter, and at the same time, he also needed to use faster movement speed to continue the oppressive defense.If it is said that in the starting lineup, he hopes to achieve more results on the defensive end and confuse opponents, then now Jonas intends to put part of his energy on the offensive end.

After re-appearing, the rhythm of the Chinese men's basketball team has been further improved on the original basis, and more importantly, their defensive movements are still very clean, just constantly exerting physical contact to prevent the opponent from making comfortable movements.After this batch of freshmen entered the field, Spain became even more overwhelmed. In desperation, Reensez also chose to make a substitution. In fact, he planned to make another substitution at the end of the first quarter, and then let Gasol take the lead. The substitute lineup finished the first half of the second quarter, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. If he doesn't change at this time, the stalemate may not be maintained.

When Reensez replaced the substitute lineup, Spain quickly stabilized the situation, because at this time their core on the field is Gasol.Although the starting center for this game is Gasol Jr., but his elder brother still surpasses him a lot in terms of strength, especially the high position support is a must. His offense with the ball has also created a lot of offensive opportunities for Spain. Chance.

In the end, the two sides simply let Gasol and Yao Ming single-handedly play in the low position.From the point of view of seniority, Gasol is a class higher than Yao Ming, but the play styles of both sides are almost the same. In his previous life, Yao Ming was trained by Van Gundy Jr. to become a big guy who relies on his weight and footwork to play back and singles at the basket, but now his The style of play is almost the same as that of Gasol, the only difference is that Yao Ming is tougher in the low post, and his shooting range is also higher than that of Gasol.

Faced with Yao Ming's strong performance, Gasol managed to maintain a balanced situation, but Yao Ming's pass to his teammates by virtue of his height advantage was something he couldn't stop.Wang Shipeng and the others are also very upbeat and seized the opportunity well. Although they haven't reached the point where the three-pointer is raining, it is already good to be able to hit this level in the international arena.Every time the Chinese team scored a three-pointer, there was deafening cheers at the scene. At the end, everyone stopped sitting down and started to stand and watch the game.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, the Chinese team actually had an advantage on the field, and Gasol was almost being beaten by Yao Ming.Among Spain's bench lineup, Calderon can provide him with some help, but it is not as good as the Chinese men's basketball bench lineup, especially Li Nan, whose age has not dampened his shooting touch, "Little Li Feidao" It's not for nothing.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team unexpectedly took a 26-20 lead. Although this lead is not large, it is of great significance to the Chinese team.Maybe they could have a little advantage in a certain period of time in the warm-up match before, but they didn't have the upper hand in the scene like this game now. This is the first time in history.

During the intermission, Jonas did not praise everyone too much. After a few words of praise, he took the time to arrange the tactics for the second quarter.This time he is still preparing to continue his previous strategy of active running and high-intensity defense. At the same time, active running can also create opportunities for open shots, which may further consolidate his current advantage.

However, Reenseth is not a fool. Although he is not sure what kind of tactics the Chinese team will adopt, it is almost a decision that does not require thinking about using the strongest inside combination in the team.At the same time, Reensez also put Calderon, Navarro and Fernandez on the outside. Rubio's performance is certainly remarkable, but now Spain needs to smooth the difference first.

When the players from both sides entered the field, Chang Wei's eyes slowly narrowed. It seemed that Spain was planning to act first. If they waited until the second half to send out their strongest lineup, the morale of the Chinese team might have reached its peak. Sometimes it will be very difficult to equalize or even overtake. It seems that Reences is worthy of the famous Spanish coach and is very decisive.

Chang Wei knew very well that the second quarter would be the first severe challenge for the Chinese men's basketball team in this game, and whether Spain could be dealt with basically depended on this trembling.Although passing this period of time does not mean that this game can be won, it can be regarded as a very critical hurdle.Just like running a long-distance race, you will feel that you can no longer support it at a certain point, but if you can survive it, you will feel that your physical strength seems to be inexhaustible. This is the current situation of the Chinese team.
