Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, the protagonist has been traveling to major cities to promote the Yu series brand.

The process went smoothly and the results were good. The Yu series brand also took this opportunity to launch Zhuang Yu's new generation of exclusive sneakers.

Although the Yu series brand has been separated from Anta, it can still use some of Anta's latest sports technology.

This pair of new sneakers utilized Anta's latest sports technology and coupled with a fierce publicity campaign, it triggered a scramble among people as soon as it was launched.

Whether it is an online store or an offline store, sales are booming.

It is conceivable that in the future the Yu series brand will surely achieve better results, not only in China, but also in the world. It is not impossible to catch up with AJ.

......

at the same time.

The Chinese men's basketball team ushered in a new round of warm-up matches - the "Zhouzhuang Cup" International Men's Basketball Championship.

It is called an international men's basketball championship, but in fact it is just a warm-up match. The Chinese men's basketball team has only three opponents, namely Angola, Croatia, and Puerto Rico.

They will play a game against each of these three teams in the next few days, then have a ten-day break and play two warm-up games against Brazil.

After the warm-up match with the Brazilian team is over, the Basketball World Cup will begin.

The match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Angola men's basketball team was held in Kunshan. This time, at the invitation of Yao Ming, Zhuang Yu came to the game together with Xiao Qingyang and Yang Jinsong.

"Zhuang Yu is here."

"Yeah, Zhuang Yu is here too."

"It seems that Zhuang Yu is concerned about the national team. It's a pity that if it weren't for that bastard Director Liu, Zhuang Yu might be on the court right now."

"Yeah, I really hope that Zhuang Yu can also wear the national team's uniform and stand on the court. Then playing against Angola would be like a piece of cake, right?"

Seeing Zhuang Yu coming, the fans were very excited and cheered loudly. They shouted Zhuang Yu's name and the stadium was filled with thunderous applause.

A group of Chinese men's basketball players came over to greet Zhuang Yu. Even the players of the visiting Angola team paid close attention to him, looking like little fans. They only regretted that they didn't have mobile phones in their hands, otherwise they would definitely come over and ask to take a photo with Zhuang Yu.

After a period of lively noise, the stadium finally became quiet.

But there were still many fans pointing at Zhuang Yu and talking about something.

Previously, the incident in which Zhuang Yu went to the men's basketball training base but was scolded away by Director Liu caused a sensation on the Internet and aroused heated public discussion.

In the end, Director Liu was punished.

But after that incident, there was no chance that Zhuang Yu would return to the national team.

This made the fans feel very sorry, but it is also understandable. If this incident really happened and Zhuang Yu returned to the national team, people might have objections.

This is just a small episode, today's game is the focus.

Soon, both sides finished warming up and the game officially began.

At this time, Yao Ming came to Zhuang Yu and sat with him. The starting five players of the Chinese men's basketball team were Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian, Zhai Xiaochuan, Guo Ailun and Zhao Jiwei.

When several people came to the court, Zhou Qi jumped and hit the ball to the backcourt.

The starting players of the Angola team are Morais, Moore, Moreira, Domingos and Antonio.

Guo Ailun controlled the basketball and started to advance. After reaching the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Zhao Jiwei, and then pulled away. Zhou Qi mentioned the pick-and-roll, and Zhao Jiwei broke through and passed the ball...

Looking at the movement of several people on the field and the movement of the ball, Zhuang Yu couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong?" Yao Ming asked.

"I can understand why Coach Du Fang didn't let Zhou An start today. Zhao Jiwei and Zhou Qi have better cooperation, and Zhou Qi has absolute height in the interior." Zhuang Yu said: "But do we have to play the pick-and-roll cooperation between Zhao Jiwei and Zhou Qi?"

Yao Ming glanced at the court and said nothing.

Zhuang Yu continued, "The pick-and-roll coordination is not complicated, but the most important thing is not the pick-and-roll itself, but the players. A good guard and a good inside player. But in my opinion, Zhou Qi doesn't like to attack in the low post, and his efficiency after the pick-and-roll needs to be improved. Although Zhao Jiwei on the outside has a good passing awareness, he does not have a good personal scoring ability."

Zhuang Yu pointed to the court and said, "Look, after the pick-and-roll, the players of the Angola team didn't delay at all, because they knew Zhao Jiwei didn't have enough scoring ability and were sure that he wouldn't shoot from the outside after the pick-and-roll, so there was no need to delay. If the inside players of the Angola team didn't delay, there would be no space inside after Zhou Qi's pick-and-roll. Although Zhou Qi has absolute height, the players of the Angola team are tall and have long arms, and have excellent jumping ability, so Zhao Jiwei didn't dare to take the risk of passing the ball."

"In this way, this pick-and-roll combination is useless."

Listening to this, Yao Ming nodded: "That's right."

Zhuang Yu said: "What I mean is, if this is not the most effective way to launch an attack, why do we still play like this? Just now, it was Guo Ailun who advanced to the front court with the ball, so why did we launch the attack from him? Why did we pass the ball to Zhao Jiwei?"

This is what Zhuang Yu wanted to complain about.

The players' personal abilities are there, there's nothing much to say, but the Chinese men's basketball team's offense is too rigid.

It looks very rigid and stereotyped. No matter what the technical characteristics of the players are, no matter the situation of the opponents, or the defensive strategy of the opponents, they all play according to the established tactics.

It is obvious that the attack just now was a "fixed tactic".

But in Zhuang Yu's opinion, there is no need to do so. The ultimate goal of basketball is to put the ball into the basket. The key is how to put the ball into the basket more easily.

Why complicate something that can be simple?

Yao Ming gave a bitter smile and said, "What you said makes sense, but..." Then he shook his head and sighed.

It can be said that this way of playing has become a habit of the Chinese men's basketball team, and it is not so easy to change it.

boom!

With a dull thud, Yi Jianlian missed the three-pointer.

After several passes, the ball was finally given to Yi Jianlian, but it was not in the low post, nor was it an open opportunity, but the offensive time was almost up, so Yi Jianlian made a three-pointer, which made Zhuang Yu shake his head.

It’s unreasonable. This attack is very unreasonable and has many problems.

Fortunately, the strength of the Angolan team is limited. Although they are tall and have long arms and excellent physical fitness, their techniques are indeed a bit rough, and their attack also ended in failure.

Zhou Qi got the rebound, and the Chinese men's basketball team counterattacked. Zhou Qi passed the ball to Zhao Jiwei, who advanced slowly, and Zhou Qi also ran to the front court slowly...

"Brother Ming." Zhuang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's going on? Don't we want to play a quick counterattack? There is an opportunity to play a quick counterattack, why slow down? Can't Zhou Qi just throw the ball to the front court? Guo Ailun's speed is no problem, why did he have to give it to Zhao Jiwei? Also, have they always played like this, you wait for me, I wait for you, and one of them can't be missing? They can obviously play a quick counterattack, but they have to advance to the front court slowly, and when they get to the front court..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Jiwei came to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Zhou Qi, but still failed to get a chance.

Zhuang Yu stopped talking.

It's really rigid and there's no change at all.

Yao Ming's face turned a little dark, and he was also very dissatisfied.

It is true that this is a warm-up match, but the opponent is the Angola team, not the national team's sparring team, nor is it an internal training match. A real game changes rapidly, and players need to be able to adapt to circumstances instead of executing attacks completely according to tactics.

When the opponent's defense is not suitable for your tactic, why not change it?

In the next few attacks, the Chinese men's basketball team played in a methodical manner, completely according to the tactics, just like in training.

But the effect was not good. Their tactical goal was to get the ball into Zhou Qi's hands as much as possible, play inside, and take advantage of his height advantage.

But the Angolan team didn't rush to the three-point line at all, but stayed in the paint. The ball was given to Zhou Qi, but the paint was crowded and Zhou Qi couldn't score. There was another time when the ball was intercepted by the opponent and he made a mistake and gave the ball to the opponent.

That is to say, the strength of the Angola team is limited, so the score seems to be evenly matched, but after a few minutes of the first quarter, the score was 7:6, which in itself is a problem.

The offensive efficiency is too low.

After a few minutes, Zhuang Yu no longer wanted to complain.

Yao Ming's face wrinkled, but he was still very principled. He was not the head coach, so he didn't say anything, but his expression said it all.

"Bang!"

With a bang, the Angola team performed a slam dunk.

The score became 9:6.

"Requesting a timeout."

Du Fang called a timeout.

After several players came to the sidelines, he spread out the tactical board: "Allen, you have to break through more often, attack by yourself if you have a chance, and pass the ball out if you don't have a chance to break through. Give the ball to A-Lian more often, let A-Lian play. Zhou Qi protects the rebounds, and the passer should pay attention to the open cut..."

......

After some arrangements, the players returned to the field.

After this timeout, the Chinese men's basketball team changed its offensive strategy. They no longer relied solely on the pick-and-roll cooperation between Zhao Jiwei and Zhou Qi, but instead let Guo Ailun play to his strengths to break through, using breakthroughs to tear apart the opponent's defensive formation and create opportunities for his teammates.

When the opportunity is not good, the ball will be given to Yi Jianlian, and the tactics will be played around Yi Jianlian, allowing Yi Jianlian to give full play to his personal scoring ability.

As a result, the Chinese men's basketball team's offense is obviously much better than before.

After a few minutes, the Chinese men's basketball team had successfully reversed the score.

At this time, the Angola team called a timeout, and the Chinese men's basketball team made another substitution. Zhou Qi, Guo Ailun, and Zhao Xiaochuan were all replaced, and Zhou An, Abdu, and Zhao Rui were replaced.

"Why not last week earlier?"

"This is just a warm-up match, mainly to test the lineup, fill in the gaps, and practice tactics, so..."

Some people are dissatisfied with this, while others understand it.

Zhuang Yu could understand it, but he still couldn't understand how the Chinese men's basketball team played next, and he was too tired to complain.
