Almighty Athlete Chapter 402: Great victory over Slovenia

Misalignment in the offense has always been the biggest headache for defenders. Since the attacker takes the initiative, once the misalignment is caused, the defender will have trouble coping with it no matter whether it is small or large. Burning the library and the pick-and-roll tactic is obviously the tactic most likely to cause a misplaced attack. Once a misalignment is formed, such as a tall center facing a short point guard, the advantage of height and weight can be completely crushed on the offensive end; and for example, a short defender can use a flexible footstep to wash the opponent against the tall center.

For the defensive side, if a player can adapt to multiple positions, it is obviously better. NBA's traditional center is gradually declining, and all-around forward players are beginning to rise. A large part of the reason is that they are more flexible in defense.

General forwards and swingers can defend from position 1 to position 3. Some are better. For example, Pierce has no problem from position 1 to position 4. James can defend from position 1. At position 5, Durant can also do this. This type of player can ignore the misplaced defense. The opposite is the point guard. They can defend. The opposite is the center. They can also defend. So almost no one will be criticized. Their defense. At one time, some basketball experts believed that James represented a development trend of basketball. The positioning of players in the future will become more and more blurred, and it will also become more and more versatile. Some experts even predict that the current player position of basketball will gradually After disappearing, there will be no center guards in the future, but five "James" will appear on the court at the same time.

Some of the big men can also defend against the defenders in a misplaced manner. The defense of Duncan, Nowitzki and Garnett is enough to prevent many defenders from attacking. It's much more difficult for a small man to defend a big man out of position. After all, basketball is a height-dependent sport. Although taller does not mean that basketball will play better, but height is undeniably an advantage.

Dwarf guards defending tall centers are nothing more than two methods, one is to prevent them from catching the ball around, and the other is to disrupt the opponent's dribble rhythm. But in the case of one-on-one, the defender defending the center from the front is basically doing useless work, because there is no way to prevent it, and the gap in height is an insurmountable gap.

However, in today’s game, Zhang Guan did not use tactics like forward or interference. He let Brezek catch the ball, then defended from the front, and simply blocked it. The height difference exceeded 20 cm. It was completely ignored in front of Zhang Guan.

Blocks were encountered continuously, and Brezek also realized that this was a trap set by Zhang Guan for himself. He also saw the superior bounce and speed of Zhang Guan. When Dragic passed to him again, Brezek He seemed to be scared, and he didn't dare to shoot.

"Although the ball is empty, but he dare not shoot at all, this situation is really bad!" Brezerin hesitantly looked at the front basket, he really wanted to shoot, but he knew that Zhang Guan Watching next to him, once he really shoots, Zhang Guan will definitely step forward and give him a block.

Brezek took a deep breath, and at the next moment, he chose to dribble towards the basket.

"I'm a center, not a shooter. Although I can shoot, it doesn't mean I can only shoot. I have more offensive means!" Brezek thought to himself.

Under normal circumstances, there is a vacancy, and shooting is definitely the first choice. The closer to the basket, the easier it is for defenders to appear. However, due to the super-bounce of the Zhang Guan, Brezek gave up the opportunity to shoot. And choose to attack inside.

It is also a very common tactic for big players to attack the inside after pick-and-roll. Stoudemire is very good at this tactic, especially in cooperation with Nash, completely raging the nba inside. Although Brezek does not have the amazing attack power of Stoudemire, he is also a top inside player in the international arena.

When Brezek was somewhat smug, Zhang Guan also moved, and he appeared on the road of Brezek.

"Zhang Guan? The arm is in the car!" Brezek scorned his lips in disdain. He felt that at the next moment, Zhang Guan would be hit by himself, and the referee would blow him a blocking foul.

After all, there is a height difference of more than 20 centimeters and a weight difference of forty pounds. Even if Brezek has already started, Zhang Guan may not be able to stop Brezek from moving forward even if he fouls.

Brezek came near Zhang Guan and the two people were in contact, but Brezek felt that he seemed to have hit a wall and he had to stop.

The referee beside him bulged his cheeks. He hesitated but didn’t blow the whistle. This ball can be used to punish Zhang Guan’s blocking foul or not to foul. It can be explained regardless of whether or not it is blowing. But the referee finally chose not to whistle because he saw Brezek stopped.

If Zhang Guan is knocked down by Brezek, the referee will not hesitate to blow a Zhang Guan block, but Brezek has stopped, which instead gives the referee a reason not to foul.

"When I am an idiot? A center breaks towards the basket but is blocked by a point guard. How is this possible? Brezek can’t even hold a guard! This is definitely Brezer. Ke wanted to cheat a whistle by the way. But I am the referee. How could I be led by the player, so I wouldn't be fooled!" The referee thought of this, the cheeks that had been bulging, and then collapsed.

......

"What's going on, was blocked by Zhang Guan!" Brezek lowered his head in surprise, looking at Zhang Guan, whose height reached his chin, and he was puzzled.

And at this time, even if there is no more puzzlement in his heart, Brezek cannot stop to think. He quickly turned sideways, ready to use the back technique.

Europe's inside, the back body skills are not bad, not to mention the traditional center, the back singles can be said to be a housekeeping skill, and Brezek's back singles technology is not bad, although in the nba , Brezek is not the core of tactics, when facing a group of muscles, his back singles can not play any power, but in the face of a defender, Brezek is still confident that he can beat the other side.

Defensive back singles have either height advantage or strength advantage. They are shorter than others and their strength is at a disadvantage. They are definitely unable to prevent back singles. It's like defending O'Neal or defending Dayao's back singles. In addition to praying, the opponent feels bad, and there seems to be no particularly useful way. Compared with Breezek, Zhang Guan is shorter and lighter, so Brezek thinks he has decided to eat Zhang Guan.

Brezek began to dribble, once, twice, three times, four times...After repeated contact with the ground, basketball bounced again and again, making a rhythmic sound, but Brezek’s body But he stayed where he was, without moving. To be precise, Zhang Guan held him against him, making him unable to move forward half a step.

"What's going on? I can't touch him, I can't touch him at all! I can't touch a guard!" Brezek was a little hard to believe what was happening in front of him, he thought he would crush Zhang Guan, but now it is completely stagnant.

"What is Brezek doing? Why didn’t he rush to the basket?"

"Is he practicing dribbling? There is only one Zhang Guan behind him, rush in and score!"

Seeing this scene, other players in Slovenia began to get anxious. They did not know that Brezek had worked hard, but they still could not move Zhang Guan, so they did not understand Brezek’s continuous dribbling. But can't move forward half a step.

It was completely impossible to move half a point, which made Brezek a little anxious. He exerted even more force, and Zhang Guan also saw this. He took advantage of Brezek's inattention and slammed the ball away.

"Fast break!" Zhang Guan shouted loudly, the other members of the Chinese team all moved, and Slovenian players began to return to defense.

Brezek is obviously impossible to catch up with the speed of Zhang Guan, so when Zhang Guan held the ball to the frontcourt, China formed a good chance of three-two in the frontcourt.

Nakpa returned to defense very quickly. He quickly returned to his own half, and at the same time blocked the advancement of Zhang Guan, but Zhang Guan noticed that Sun Yue, who was completely unmarked, was facing Running under the basket, he raised his hand high and started asking for the ball.

"Whoosh!" Zhang Guan pushed with one hand, and basketball accurately passed to the nearest Sun Yue from the basket. Sun Yue took a step after catching the ball, then jumped high and completed it with a dunk of both hands. An attack.

The Chinese team leads Slovenia by 10 points, which is a double-digit difference. Coach Zidovic did not hesitate to call a timeout.

"What are you doing? I don’t know what you were thinking about, but now in the game, you can only think about the game for me." Zidovich rushed to Brezek. Shouted, obviously Zidovich also believed that the goal was just the black pot of Brezek.

Other players are also looking to Brezek, some people are asking questions, while others are showing blame. Everyone feels that in the face of a defender, he can't hit the basket with a back single, which is definitely a problem for Brezek.

Brezek felt he was wronged more than Dou E. He said: "Coach, that Zhang Guan has great strength. He has been very hard to move towards the basket, but I can’t move it at all!"

"You lose to Zhang Guan in strength? Do you think this is a reasonable excuse?" Zidovic dismissed his lips contemptuously, and then added: "You are a power center over seven feet tall!"

"Coach, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can try it for someone else!" Brezek said aggrievedly.

Brezek's grievous expression fell into the eyes of coach Zidovic, but made him more angry.

“It’s just not to think about progress, but also give me this ridiculous excuse! Huh, do you think I dare not change you?” Coach Ridovic wanted to fight here, his eyes flashed coldly, and said: "You stay on the bench for me, reflect on and reflect on, we will change people!"

......

After the timeout, Slovenia replaced Brezek, replaced a backcourt player, and then replaced Radović as the center. As a result, although the height of the Slovenian team has decreased, but the backcourt firepower has increased.

However, Dragic faced Zhang Guan and was still at an absolute disadvantage. He chose to continue to play pick-and-roll.

This time with Dragic, he was replaced by Radović. Although he does not have the height of Brezek, he has a strong body and a good shooting ability.

However, if Zhang Guan can cover Brezek, he can also cover Radovich, which makes Radovich dare not shoot. After picking up and picking up the ball, he made the same choice as Brezek, using the misplaced opportunity to attack the basket with the ball.

However, his experience is the same as that of Brezek. He hit a wall, which is the body of Zhang Guan. After being surprised, he chose to use his back singles, but he was held up by Zhang Guan. Half step Can't move forward, then Zhang Guan was another fast interception, launched a fast break, three sophomore in the frontcourt, the Chinese team scored two more points.

"What is Rakovich doing? After playing in Russia for a few seasons, won't even single backs play?" Coach Zidovich shouted angrily, but the next second, he suddenly thought, Lakovich's performance is exactly the same as Brezek just now.

"Is it true that Brezek said? Zhang Guan is strong enough to hold an inside center?" The idea flashed from Zidovich's mind, but the irrationality of it made him veto instantly. Dropped this possibility.

Maybe it is unwilling to believe this. Zidovic has not made any tactical adjustments, and on the field, the Slovenia team has become more and more passive~IndoMTL.com~ The score gap exceeded 15 points in an instant, and was towards the second. Very straight away.

......

"Whoosh! Boom!" Naqba's 3-pointer hit the rim.

Almost at the same time, a shout came from the Chinese team: "Rebound!"

Roughly stood up, showing agility that was not in accordance with his age. He jumped high, grabbed basketball with both hands, and firmly controlled the ball.

"The game is over!" Nack Barton suddenly looked disappointed. At this time, there were less than twenty seconds left before the game ended, and his goal was not scored. The Slovenian team also lost the overturn capital.

The current score is 76-68, China's lead is eight points. If Naqba scored the goal just now, the five-point difference uses foul tactics and there is a chance to make a comeback. But now, using foul tactics, even if China only scores 1 goal, the point difference will become nine points, which requires three three-pointers to equalize, and during the period China can not share any more. This could not be done in the last twenty seconds, so the Slovenian team has lost the game.

The rough free throws did not disappoint. At the critical time, they made two free throws and widened the difference to double digits.

Next, during Slovenia’s offensive, China did not give too strong defense, allowing Slovenia to increase the score to 70 points, and the final score of the game was also fixed at 78 to 70.

After four years, the Chinese team once again defeated Slovenia in the World Championships, but this time not by lore, but by absolute strength.

This time it was not a group match, but a knockout.

The Slovenian team stopped in the quarterfinals, while the Chinese team successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Championships.

And China’s next opponent will be the host Turkish men’s basketball team. (To be continued.)
