Almighty Athlete Chapter 97: Abandon the game
The head coach of the Croatian team, Repesa, does not believe that the Chinese team will lead the Greek team by 20 points in the first half. If conversely, it is normal for the Greek team to lead the Chinese team by 20 points. Repeza even thought the leader was joking with him. But seeing the leader's serious expression, Repeza knew all this was true.
"What you said is true? The Chinese team leads the Greek team by 20 points at halftime?" Repeza asked cautiously.
The team leader nodded and said, "The score in the first half was 52 to 32, shooting percentage, rebounds, turnovers, fast break points... In short, in all statistics, the Greek team is all behind ."
"Fast break scoring? Did you just say fast break scoring?" Repeza showed an unbelievable look, and then said: "I heard that right, the Chinese team will lead the Greek team in fast break points? They But there is Dayao, how can it be possible to play a fast break? Occasionally one or two fast breaks are enough, the number of fast breaks is still ahead of the Greek team? Is it that the Chinese team has 1 fast break, does the Greek team have a fast break? /
"But this is the truth!" The team leader continued: "I suggest you pause for a while and take a look at the video of the next game."
"Did the Greek team deliberately release water?" Repesa immediately rejected the idea: "If the Greek team deliberately releases water, they will fall to the fourth position in the group, and then they will play the Lithuanian team. Does the Greek team think that Lithuania is easier to deal with than us?
Repeza hesitated, then signaled the assistant coach to take his place, and then Repeza and the team leader walked to the TV lounge.
......
At this time, the Lithuanian men’s basketball team has just had lunch.
Lithuania was on the full bench, deliberately lost to Australia, and at the same time also "done out" the Russian team. For Lithuania, there was not much physical exertion in the last game, and the players leisurely ate after lunch , Was summoned by Lithuania coach Anders Slyrica to watch the game between the Chinese team and the Greek team.
"We achieved the first place in Group A, which allowed us to avoid the US team before the finals, and our first opponent in the knockout will be the fourth place in Group B. The fourth in Group B will be the host Chinese team. Although the Chinese team is not as good as us, since we are the opponents, we have to get to know him, so I call you together and take a look at the game between the Chinese team and the Greek team. , Let you deepen your understanding of the Chinese team."
The Lithuanian coach Slyrica turned on the TV and turned around to say: "The Chinese team has a world-class insider. They have an advantage on the inside, but the Chinese team has an outside line. In particular, the point guard is very weak, which is also our main point of attack. In addition, I want to emphasize that the head coach of the Chinese team is my teacher Yunas. Coach Yunas is certainly no stranger, he is absolutely It is the person who knows us best. I think Coach Yunas will make targeted tactical deployment to us in the game, and we should not take it lightly."
Yunas used to teach in the Lithuanian league for many years and also served as the head coach of the Lithuanian national team. During the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Lithuania almost defeated the American Dream Team, and finally won the Olympic bronze medal, which is the credit of coach Yunas. At the time, the current head coach of the Lithuanian team, Slileka, was a player under Yunus, so it can be said that Yunas was a teacher of Slileka.
At this time, the picture has been displayed on the TV. Slyrica did not see the picture displayed on the TV because he was facing away from the TV, but the Greek players opposite him showed up one after another. Surprised expression.
"What's the matter? How is everyone like this?" Slyrica was a little inexplicable. He looked back at the TV and happened to see the score between the two teams.
"52 to 32? The Chinese team leads? The Chinese team leads the Greek team by 20 points? How is this possible?" Srelika's brain suddenly fell into a short circuit and didn't recover until more than ten seconds later.
"How did the Chinese team do it? Is it because of the special tactical arrangement of coach Yunas?" Srelika thought of this and felt the strength of Yunas more and more.
......
The Chinese men’s basketball team led the Greek men’s basketball team by 20 points at halftime. It was a dream for fans. During the halftime break, the fans at the Wukesong basketball hall even celebrated in unison, and the TV broadcaster was also wild He played several minutes of advertisements, but played the first half of the Chinese team's wonderful goals.
In the lounge of the Greek team, there was a gloomy look. The players of the Greek team were originally full of confidence, but the Chinese team was completely stunned in the first half. Before the Chinese team had to score less than 30 points in the first half and 15 points ahead of the Chinese team, the situation was completely reversed. The Greek team only scored a pitiful 32 points while being led by the Chinese team by 20 points.
This contrast is a huge blow to morale, and some young players are even more suspicious of themselves.
And coach Yanakis is thinking about another thing, he is thinking about whether to give up this game.
In the current situation, even if the Greek team fought back in the second half and eventually reversed to win, after all, it was a 20-point difference. Even if the Greek team filled the difference and won, it is impossible to win too much. The score may ultimately only win with a small difference within 10 points.
The Greek team lost 15 points to Spain before, so if the Greek team only wins 10 points from the Chinese team, then the Greek team will be ranked third in the group when calculating the score ratio, which is obviously not for the Greek team. meaningful. Because the third team will face the second Argentine team in Group A, the Greek team may want to play Lithuania more than at least, at least the Greek team needs to know more about Lithuania But there is also a great possibility that they will not win. Whether we can win or not, it will consume a lot of our energy. In that case, it is better to give up this game and retain some physical strength to deal with Lithuania. "Coach Yanakis looked at the players on the side. He suddenly remembered that Papalukas had twisted his feet in the eighth quarter of the second quarter.
"The intensity of this game is very large, especially the Zhang Guan defense is also very tough. For us, if we win, it is only the third in the group. If the main player is injured, even if we win this game, The game, we also suffered a big loss. Anyway, this is only a group match, and we have already qualified for the group, let's reserve our strength first and concentrate on preparing for the next match!"
Thinking about this, Coach Yanakis announced the roster of players who played in the third quarter.
"Perekanos, Blopez, Chartsalis, Printzis, Zkis, you will be on stage soon! Be prepared to play the second half of the game." Yannakis Said.
The people of the Greek team were stunned. The five people sent by Yanakis were all substitutes. Then everyone immediately understood that Yanakis decided to give up this game. (To be continued.)
