Almighty Athlete Chapter 166: Let Kobe defend him
Shashevsky looked at the time, and the time left for the US team was less than five minutes.
"How could this game look like this!" Shashevsky took a deep breath, and everything in front of him made him feel extremely unreal.
Shashevski is very confident in this American team, or can say that he is very confident in his coaching ability. He feels that even when facing Spain, Argentina, Lithuania, Greece, etc. When these top teams in the world reach the second half of the fourth quarter, they should be in garbage time. How could it be like this, only one point ahead!
And the opponent is still the Chinese team. This Shashevsky does not seem to be an opponent of the first-class strong team. In the face of the Chinese team, he doesn’t even bother to arrange any tactics and strategies. Is enough to win.
However, things are completely different from what he imagined. In the second half of the fourth quarter, a one-point difference seemed to be ruthlessly beating Shashevsky's face.
"Is this still the Chinese team? Is this still the Chinese team we met in the first game of the group stage?" Shashevsky asked himself, and had nothing to do with the group team. Compared with the resistant Chinese team, it now looks like a completely changed team.
The next attack, Zhang Guan is another exquisite pass. After the veteran Li Nan received the ball, he directly completed the attack with a pull-up jumper. The Chinese team actually surpassed 1 point.
"This is another pass! This pass looks like a coincidence. When the ball flew to that position, the Chinese team's number 10 also appeared in that position, if it was half a second late The ball flew past, and if the person didn’t arrive half an second earlier, he wouldn’t receive the ball naturally. What’s more important is that Zhang Guan turned his back to that position. He didn’t even look at it. How did he pass this? The right kind of pass?" Shashevsky was confused.
Not only Shashevsky, Paul, who is responsible for defending Zhang Guan, and Kobe, who is responsible for defending Li Nan, are also full of depression.
Paul is the person closest to Zhang Guan. Of course he knows that he has been staring at the front since Zhang Guan took the ball. His eyes haven’t even turned sideways, but he knows that there will be teammates in the position behind him. In Paul's view, it was simply impossible.
"How does he know that No. 10 will reach that position? Perhaps there is a secret code among the Chinese team players?" Paul thought silently.
On the other side, Kobe seemed annoyed, because it was the player he defended against that scored, so of course this black pot would be counted on Kobe.
When Zhang Guan started to move, not only did he face away from this direction, but Li Nan had not moved to this position, even Kobe could not have wanted Zhang Guan to throw the ball to a position where no one was there.
"It's this kind of pass again, people come to the ball. It's just a matter of watching people pass, he throws the ball over without anyone watching, is he afraid of losing the ball? Is the Chinese team really tacit? To this extent?" Bryant thought to himself.
"Zhang Guan kid has long eyes behind him!" Li Nan who just finished scoring also looked at Zhang Guan with some surprises. Although Zhang Guan had several similar passes before, the catcher was not Li Nan, he There is no deeper experience, but just when Li Nan was running towards the empty seat, the ball appeared in front of him without warning, and Li Nan was also taken aback. Fortunately, the nickname "Xiao Li Fei Dao" is not a white call. As an experienced veteran, he certainly will not miss this good opportunity.
On the sidelines, Coach Yunas and the coaching staff of the Chinese team have long lost their minds.
This session of the national team has been organized for several months. After experiencing the training in the team, the outing training, various warm-up matches, and even several games in the Olympics, how strong is the men’s basketball team? At both levels, the coaching staff is already well-understood, but at this time the performance of the players on the field has completely exceeded their expectations.
I have never seen this style of play! I don't understand this tactic! The players seemed to be running around aimlessly, and then the ball was inexplicably passed to the neutral position. In this case, anyone felt incredible.
Now the coaching staff of China and the United States are both feeling that neither Shashefsky nor Yunas know how to continue to arrange tactics. Shashevsky did not come up with a way to crack the Chinese team's running, but Yunas knew that this was not a tactic he had arranged at all, let alone how to "lay out".
Finally, Shashevsky was the first to respond, because the US team must not lose in this game.
The Chinese team and the US team can play as they are now, even if they lose, they are still defeated. However, even if the US team wins, it seems to be very difficult to win, not to mention the current US team may not be able to win.
Shashevsky still can't see the running position of the Chinese team players. Everyone is running around blindly. If Shashevsky can understand it, it's strange! However, Shashevsky already has a way to deal with it. Since he can't see the other players' running positions, he will prevent Zhang Guan from passing.
So far Paul’s defense against Zhang Guan is actually not a success. Paul is faster. Although he will not be accelerated by Zhang Guan like Kidd, he can’t stop the Zhang Guan pass. .
With 1 defense and 1 defense, Paul has the ability to defend any point guard in the NBA, and the international defender is far inferior to the NBA, so Paul still has the ability to guard any ball control in the Olympics. The defender, what is the "first point guard outside the NBA" and what is the "king of Europe" is not a problem in front of Paul. Perhaps only France's Parker can compete with Paul in the international arena.
But today there seems to be a little surprise. In the one-on-one confrontation with Zhang Guan, Paul's proud physical quality is completely at a disadvantage.
The American basketball and European basketball have different concepts. The European basketball focuses on co-defense and joint defense, while the American basketball defense mainly depends on personal ability. In this type of defense that depends on personal ability, speed and body become two Very important link. Many defenders in the NBA are known as defenders who are not good enough to defend, either not fast enough or not strong enough. In particular, American players like to have muscle collisions with their opponents. Instead, they are some European or South American players. During the defense, they will try to develop all kinds of emperor's true throws. "Falling" are all things that international players do.
Paul has speed and body. His physical quality is considered top among all NBA guards, and his defense is certainly tougher, but the body of the basketball athlete and the body of the sprinter are still incomparable. Zhang Guan’s The body is obviously stronger than Paul, so Paul's defense against Zhang Guan looks a bit difficult.
The U.S. team doesn’t defend any joint defense, but has been defending one-on-one~IndoMTL.com~A group of strong muscle sticks in the world have gathered together, and the word "joint defense" is not in their dictionary. .
"Paul's defense against Zhang Guan is not very good." Shashevsky looked at the bench, and surely it wasn't possible on the Kidd. This old guy couldn't carry the Zhang Guan for a few rounds. In Deron Williams’ words, Shashevsky shook his head secretly. Although Deron’s body is strong enough, but the speed is also not fast, and this guy’s defensive awareness and defensive skills are more general, the more important thing is that this guy does not What defensive desire, this has been seen from the US team's previous game.
The three point guards he brought were unreliable, and Shashevsky had to turn his attention to several of his shooting guards.
"Kobe, it's still Kobe at the critical moment! Now only Kobe is going to defend him!" Shashevsky took a deep breath. He knew that by this time, Kobe was obviously the best player he could trust. .
Shashevsky called for a short timeout, then replaced Paul, replaced Wade, and made a new arrangement.
"Kobe, the next game, you come to play as a point guard. I think you must understand what I mean!" Shashevsky paused, and then said: "The task of containing Zhang Guan is handed over You!" (To be continued.) Enable new URL
