If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 237 Ranking Tournament

"I don't know if I don't compare. How Scola played in the previous game, how he played, but now he is suppressed to death..."

"Yi Jian rules the restricted area, no matter what opponent he meets."

"It's a pity that the national team is still unlucky. First, they were cheated by the hosts, and then they met the US team in advance. Otherwise, Yi Jian led the team and really had a chance to compete for the championship."

"Indeed, Turkey is too dark!"

"The Argentine Ginobili did not come, so it seems that they are not the opponents of the national team."

While regretting that the national team did not make further progress, the fans enjoyed Yi Jian's performance at the same time.

However, Argentina is still stronger than the opponents they killed before. After Scola was unable to attack, they immediately let Delfino attack from the outside. No one from the outside of the Chinese team can restrain the opponent.

The overall strength of the national team has problems on both offensive and defensive ends.

Before facing the United States, Durant had no one to defend against. At the last moment, Yi Jian could only displace to defend, but the problem of the American team cannot be solved by limiting Durant.

Relying on the sneak attack at the beginning, the Chinese team took the lead smoothly.

In the second quarter, Argentina chose to attack the Chinese team.

The Argentine team's style of play is actually not as team-like as the European team, especially when Delfino is the main attack.

Delfino is a typical end point, and it is very dangerous to go crazy with three points.

"Don't let him shoot a three-pointer, and defend with all your strength before he catches the ball." Yi Jian shouted.

The American teams are still different from the European teams. Yi Jian thinks that if the opponent continues to perform, they can flank.

It is more difficult to pinch the outside line, but it can solve the problem more directly.

For example, if you attack the inside, there is also the problem of rebounding. This is the difficulty that other teams are facing now.

It was not so easy to pinch Yi Jian, he was a very good player and ranked first in rebounding in the World Championships.

Of course, the same is true for scoring, it depends on how the opponent chooses.

In the middle of the second quarter, Argentina once caught up with the score, but finally returned to the same way as in the first quarter.

In the case of a counterattack, even if someone in Argentina goes crazy, it is impossible to surpass Yi Jian in scoring ability.

They are also considering whether to be more extreme in defense.

But the team coach Hernandez decided to follow the plan made before the game after thinking about it. For the time being, he was just assisting in defense, and then flanked at the final critical moment to secure the victory in one fell swoop.

In fact, they are learning from the US team, but they think highly of themselves. Do they have the strong offense of the US team?
If not, how can they withstand it before the critical moment comes? You must know that the US team almost failed to withstand it.

Argentina feels that their defensive attitude is better than that of the US team, so they will definitely be able to play until then, and they are also a little confident. It is estimated that this is why they will compete for the ranking of the Chinese team, not for the championship.

The opponents they lost before were not that strong.

During the intermission, Yi Jian communicated with the coaching staff.

The coaching staff also noticed that this Argentina team is a bit dependent on stars.

There are Delfino and Scola inside and outside, they are generally not afraid of opponents.

Now that Yi Jian can limit Scola in the paint, Delfino must attack if necessary.

At the beginning of the second half, Delfino and Yi Jian scored points for their respective teams.

Subsequently, the Chinese team raised the level of defense against Delfino.

Don't let him catch the ball, he catches the ball and tries to flank.

In this game, the shooting of other Argentines was really average.

In terms of inside, their rebounds can't beat the Chinese team.

Just a few minutes after the Chinese team changed their defense in the third quarter, their lead immediately rose.

When Argentina sensed something was wrong, it was not so easy to get it back.

At the end of the quarter, there were others in Argentina who stood up.

Scola stood on the outside and drew Yi Jian out, and then Oberto took some chances inside.

Generally, the offense is okay now, but the defense is really difficult for him.

It's just that when Argentina's two major scoring points are in trouble, their offense cannot be so good.

They scored some points here and there, but couldn't tie the score.

At this time, they realized that the previous choice was a bit overstated.

They started to bet on three points, and Delfino made a hit under the situation of being flanked, but unfortunately this alone could not reverse the situation.

Anyway, it was already qualifying, so Argentina saw that there was not much time and no fighting spirit.

They are already the losers of this World Championship, forget it.

As a result, the two teams played more than one minute in a relatively flat manner.

Relying on the advantage they had gained before, the Chinese team won the game by 7 points.

In fact, they held on in the end, but fortunately, Argentina had no fighting spirit.

But the situation of the Chinese team is different. They are just a strong team supported by Yi Jian, and they don't have the mentality of other strong teams.

Most of the time, the mentality of a strong team is positive, but sometimes it can be counterproductive.

Right now, Argentina doesn't pay much attention to the outcome of the ranking match, but the Chinese team is very happy about the victory.

They defeated Argentina, the world's top team, so cool!
After the game, the domestic media were also very happy. Like the fans, they also liked the results of the Chinese team in this World Championship.

After all, their current record has created a new history.

The best result of the Chinese team in the World Championship last time was the 94 golden generation, so it can be said that it is a practical matter.

Now they are guaranteed to be ranked sixth, and they will be able to reach fifth if they win another game.

Yes, the ranking battle after losing is not an end.

The treatment of the quarterfinals is still different, and the others don't have to fight at all.

Their next opponent is the Spanish team. In fact, this year's Spanish lineup is also very strong, but without Pau Gasol, they may not be able to fully play, so they lost to Lithuania and Serbia.

This time Serbia was very strong and overwhelmed Argentina. Unfortunately, the hosts also lost the semi-finals and lost the chance to compete with the US team for the championship.

And even if Pau Gasol didn't come, Spain would have an All-NBA lineup.

Rubio, Navarro, Fernandez, Garbajosa and Gasol Jr.

On the bench, there are still NBA-level players.

However, they also have their own problems, that is, there is no absolute offensive strength, and the outside three-pointer is not stable.

Spain may also have more NBA players, and their style of play is sometimes not so European.

And outsiders like Rubio are too talented and haven't practiced shooting well.

They will not play so smoothly against a team with a stronger inside.

After the game started, Yi Jian let the opponent know what is the strongest insider in the World Championships.

Not to mention that Gasol is not there, even if the Gasol brothers stand shoulder to shoulder, they can't stop Yi Jian's strong attack for a while.

There are so many careless teams, and there is no shortage of Spain.
