Chapter 249 Key Attack and Defense
Ever since Yao Ming was born, the Chinese team has been extremely dependent on Yao Ming. The more critical the game is, the more they want to give the ball to Yao Ming. The other players are like this, and so is the head coach.

Even if Dayao's physical strength is seriously overdrawn, even if Gasol is heavily blocked inside, he still has to play Yao Ming. The reason is very simple. Yao Ming can not score goals, but if other players occupy the possession of the ball, they cannot score goals. If it ultimately leads to a loss, then he will definitely be sprayed to death by the fans, and he will be dumped by the leaders of the basketball management center in various ways, which will seriously affect his career.

In other words, Yao Ming's fame and strength made him the pillar of Chinese basketball, and he was also made a hero. He must bear all the successes and failures, while everyone else hid under Yao Ming's protection and did not jump. The courage to come out and bear the consequences of failure.

Perhaps, for Chinese basketball, winning or losing is not the most important thing, but the responsibility after winning or losing is the most important.

Just like tonight's game against Spain, Yao Ming obviously can't guarantee the hit rate of the storm, and Yonas still has to play the core of Yao Ming, because Yonas understands that if he replaces Yao Ming at a critical moment and rests, it will lead to a loss. The ball, then the biggest blame must be carried by oneself.

Yonas understands this, and Yao Ming naturally understands it, so Yao Ming has no dissatisfaction, dragging his tired body, gritted his teeth and persisted on the court.

"I'm so tired. It would be nice if someone came to share the pressure."

Just when Yao Ming was about to lose his hold, Chen Ning stood up.

There is no complicated running position, no extra dribbling movements, Channing just made a simple pull, using his height advantage to shoot the ball over Rudy Fernandez's head.

What is centered on Yao Ming, what is unreasonable, if you hit it, you hit it, if you don’t hit it, you don’t hit it, Chen Ning didn’t think too much, he just ran for one goal, to win.

When the basketball hit the net hollow, Channing's mouth curled into a smile.

"Next, it's my turn to perform."

Spain's offense is still fierce, Gasol hit a hook above the head of the United Arab Emirates, chasing the point difference to 7 points.

Gasol is a very smart guy. Facing Yao Ming, he moved up and played, taking advantage of his speed. Facing the United Arab Emirates, he relied on the hook to take advantage of his height and wingspan.

After Qian Ning and Sun Yue temporarily defended Spain's outside line, Gasol continued to attack inside, proving that he is the absolute leader of Spain.

"Yao Ming suffers from physical problems, and the United Arab Emirates cannot defend against Gasol. We have no way to deal with Spain's inside attack. We can only hope that the offensive end will come back, otherwise the point difference will become smaller and smaller."

The commentary directed by Zhang Weiping made the fans worried. They couldn't defend against it. Can the offense be counted on?

The Chinese team attacked, and Chan Ning faced Rudy's defense with the ball.

"I won't give you another chance."

Rudy Fernandez is very tight. Channing has been playing the role of the second leader next to Yao Ming in tonight's game. He has almost no personal offensive performance, so Rudy was a little careless in the last round and let Channing directly pull up and make a shot.

This time, he pressed his body against Channing's bottom, forcing Channing to bend down to fight, so he couldn't shoot directly.

Winking inside, the tacit understanding between Channing and Yao Ming was revealed again.

Dayao understood, decisively gave up the inside position, and moved out of the three-point line to give Channing a pick-and-roll.

Relying on his tall body and terrifying tonnage, Dayao has two special abilities that other members of the Chinese team cannot possess. One is a strong attack inside, and the other is a solid cover.

Fans often only remember Yao Ming's various small hooks in the paint, high shots, and fantasy footsteps, but it is easy to ignore Yao Ming's covering effect.

In fact, in high-level games such as the Olympics, Yao Ming mentioned that going up to the line and making screens is also a tactic frequently used by the Chinese team. The opening three-pointer against the US team was Yao Ming receiving a pass from Sun Yue after Kobe Bryant was flying. Only then did he get the chance to shoot the ball.

"For Yao Ming, who is physically weak, it is too difficult to attack from the inside. This time Yao chose to come up and play a pick-and-roll with Chen Ning. Yao Qianshu changed his tactics again. Let's see if he can find an opportunity from the outside."

There was some suspicion in Zhang Weiping's guidance. Although Dayao can shoot three-pointers, this is not his regular offensive method. How sure is Yao Ming's mid-range and long-range shots when his physical strength is seriously exhausted?

The giant's broad body made Rudy feel as if he had hit the Great Wall. Channing used the pick-and-roll to dribble the ball to the right, and without any hesitation, he directly pulled up his shot.

Gasol was obviously underprepared and was killed.

"Score another three-pointer! Chen Ning scored two consecutive three-pointers, and the Chinese team stubbornly extended their lead to 10 points again!"

Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly, it turned out that in the third variation of Yao Qianshu, Dayao's cover and demolition was just a cover, and Qian Ning was the real main attacker!

"Two three-pointers in a row, Chen Ning made up for the firepower output in time in the fourth quarter when the Chinese team's collective offense was weak!"

Qian Ning's success in successive attacks also boosted the confidence of the Chinese team players. In the fourth quarter, Spain's ferocious chasing of points made the Chinese team, which held the lead, feel a little confused. After Qian Ning stood up decisively, everyone Then he calmed down and his morale rose again.

After the United Arab Emirates confronted Pau Gasol's singles, the Chinese team launched an attack.

Coach Reinseth's defensive arrangement tonight has always focused on the inside, but after Channing's sudden outburst, he decisively made adjustments, allowing Reyes at the third position to defend Channing and replace Rudy who was seriously undersized Fernandez.

Reyes is 2 meters tall, with excellent strength and speed. He is a defensive engineer in the Spanish team who can swing from shooting guard to power forward. That is, this guy's close defense makes Zhu Fangyu, the best pitcher of the Chinese team, tonight Basically no chance.

Facing Reyes' defense, Channing tried a step-back jumper, but unfortunately he failed to make it. The Spanish team took the opportunity to counterattack.

With a little more than 5 minutes left in the game, the lead of the Chinese team was only 8 points. After Chen Ning held the ball again, he gave up the mid-range and long-range jumper.

"Reyes is very defensive, and we suffer from rebounding and physical fitness. Once I miss a shot, it is basically a point for Spain."

At the most critical moment of the game, any wild shot may have fatal consequences. Facing Rudy Fernandez, who has a great height advantage, Channing is very confident in his three-pointers.

But facing a defensive titan Reyes of the same size, Channing must make smarter offensive choices.
