Chapter 444
After the start of the second quarter, Spain, which continued to send out a normal lineup, began to increase their defensive strength. In Scariolo's view, as long as they can play the same fast rhythm, they have a good chance to block China's scorers on the defensive end.

It's not that Spain doesn't have the capital to play a fast pace, it's just that they are not used to it yet. Moreover, they were stunned by China's crazy attack in the first quarter, and then they fell behind.In order to be able to compete with China, Scarioloyi came up with a new lineup that looks very similar to China. This is to compete in the ring.

Spain's current players on the court are Ruhr, Calderon, Fernandez, Navarro and Ibaka. They are shorter than the average height of China. After all, they do not have a defender like Sun Yue who is close to the height of a power forward.In Scariolo's view, this lineup is short and short, its scoring ability is definitely not weak, and its defensive ability is also quite good. It should be able to limit China's crazy offense.Under such circumstances, even a slight loss in rebounding seems acceptable.

But almost the same lineup did not have the same effect. Scariolo originally thought that his lineup could prevent China's offense, but he forgot one thing, Sun Yue and Xu Hao's back-up ability It's very strong.

Fortunately, Xu Hao is mainly responsible for sorting out the team's offense and controlling the rhythm of offense and defense. Previous offenses basically ended with shooting or layups. In other words, he rarely stayed in a small area and slowed down the pace. Come down.But Sun Yue is different. He has a lot of time and energy to use to do things inside, especially when the opponent's height is far smaller than his.Moreover, Sun Yue's back-up may not necessarily slow down the team's speed, just turn around and break through.

For several defenders in Spain, Sun Yue is simply a bug. He is misplaced when he hits anyone. He can bully them with his height and jumping. With a single turn, he can get the defender behind him, and then he can directly face Iraq. Baka.

And when Spain launched an attack, they encountered the mad dog defense of China's outside players. Except for Navarro who could score with his good small throw, it was difficult for others to even find a chance to make a shot.Every time the ball comes to them, there are one or two Chinese players, and they can only helplessly pass the ball to other teammates.

What's worse is that they can't run yet. The average age of Spain's lineup is older than China's, and Calderon's ability to control the rhythm is much weaker than Xu Hao. How can Spain play such a high-quality team as China? Offense and defense?They want to play fast, but they are like headless chickens on the field, they can only continue to catch up with Huaxia's progress.

Scariolo finally understood that the problem with Spain was that they insisted on the inside-oriented style, so they had no power to fight back against China's fast pace.However, the Spanish style has been cultivated for a long time, and there is no way to change it. After all, the inside combination of the Gasol brothers and Ibaka is their biggest reliance. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to give up martial arts?
In desperation, Scariolo let the team return to its basics, and stopped imitating China's fast-paced small lineup.He found that in such an important game, he also lost his sense of normalcy. The two decisions were overkill. Either the lineup was too large or the lineup was too small, completely losing his own style.This time, he hopes to defeat Huaxia with superhuman hard power. He believes that this will be the victory of Spanish basketball.

Spain, which had returned to normal, began to become difficult to deal with. They were not easily distracted by Huaxia's rhythm, but insisted on their patient running and tactical cooperation, and began to approach the score little by little.Xu Hao glanced at Deng Huade, who nodded at him, indicating that Xu Hao could handle it by himself, and he believed that Xu Hao could make a correct response.

But Xu Hao's choice made Deng Huade surprised. He thought Xu Hao would reduce the team's rhythm, but Xu Hao's choice was more crazy running and passing.Of course, in order to reduce the physical consumption of his teammates, Xu Hao mainly strengthened his own running. He appeared in every position in the half court like a ghost, passing the ball to his teammates as a transfer point.He knows very well that no one on the team has nearly endless physical energy like him, so try to save them as much as possible.

However, this time China's fast-paced attack did not widen the gap as expected, and Spain still followed at a leisurely pace.Scariolo was not as impatient as before. He sat quietly on the chair and looked very relaxed. The players under his command had already played their own style, but Scariolo still firmly believed that they could win next game.

With 1 minute and 27 seconds left in the second quarter, Deng Huade finally replaced Xu Hao. He insisted that Xu Hao take a rest.In order to resist Spain's attack, he decisively replaced Wang Zhizhi. Everyone was skilled, so it was not certain who would have the upper hand!After all, Wang Zhizhi performed very well in previous games and did not look like a veteran at all.

And Wang Zhizhi also completed the task very well. The inside combination of him and Ding Jinghui blocked Spain's inside attack for a minute and a half. At the end of the half, Huaxia led 58 to 53. The two sides played a game in the second quarter. tie.

However, this result is acceptable for both teams. Huaxia did not let the opponent close the score, and Spain still maintains the hope of reversal.In fact, this score has exceeded many people's expectations. In their opinion, Spain should lead China by a large score, but why is the situation turned upside down now, and China is the leader?

Although this lead was not much, it was enough to shock them.They couldn't figure out why China could still lead without Yao Ming?This is unscientific. There is a clear gap in strength between the two sides!

But the Huaxia men's basketball team doesn't care whether this matter is scientific or not. The fact is that they are the leading side. As long as they continue to hold on for 20 minutes in the second half, they will be able to win the Olympic championship unprecedentedly.Of course, in the remaining half of the game, they have to do everything perfectly, try not to make mistakes and not let Spain take any chances.But if they want to do this, they still have to count on Xu Hao. Most of the time, everyone can rest off the court, except Xu Hao. As long as he is not on the court, the confidence of Huaxia players will not be so strong .
