When the referee blew the timeout whistle, the basketball thrown out by Chen Feng had already flown onto the basketball hoop.

"Bang"!

"Whew"!

Basketball plays into the basket. A very nice long-range three-pointer.

"Wow!"

The audience at the scene instantly exploded, and there were enthusiastic cheers.

"This ball is really unexpected! It's so exciting! I really didn't expect Chen Feng to throw this long-distance pitch immediately after receiving the ball, he didn't have to take such a risk at all...... Oh, it turned out that Harris was going to replace him right away. So that's the case, Chen Feng obviously knew in advance that Harris would replace him immediately, so after receiving the ball, he immediately threw this goal, which was really beautiful. However, it seems that many viewers at the scene were disappointed to replace Chen Feng on the field......"

After Chen Feng and his teammates high-fived and celebrated, he immediately left the game. The audience at the scene was indeed disappointed, and the Italian men's basketball team was relieved one by one.

Chen Feng sat on the sidelines of his team's seat and watched, while Harris stood on the sidelines and shouted a few words to his team's players and made a few tactical gestures.

Harris knew that his team was not good at playing joint defense, because his team's joint defense was almost always standing defense, and it was not good to slide, so today he adopted a man-to-man defense, which also mobilized everyone's defensive enthusiasm. He doesn't want the big lead of the Chinese team for the time being, and he is now paying more attention to the defense of the Chinese team than the offense.

The game restarted, and Chen Feng's long-distance shooting at the beginning of the game just now gave the Italian team a lot of psychological pressure, but fortunately, Chen Feng was immediately replaced off the court, which reduced the psychological pressure of the Italian team players a lot.

However, it may be because Chen Feng took the lead in the opening, the Italian team has not fully adjusted, and the first shot hit the iron directly, and the Huaguo team grabbed the rebound and played a beautiful counterattack, so that the Huaguo team quickly took a 5-0 lead at the beginning of the game. But after those two goals conceded, the Italian team quickly adjusted their mentality. Equalize the score.

Subsequently, Italy's No. 6 Garanda hit two three-pointers in a row to stretch the gap between the two sides to six points. All of a sudden, the Huaguo team was somewhat blinded.

In such a passive situation, Yao Ming shot his first ball of the game, and he hooked his hand under the opponent's pinch. Yao Ming's throw ended Italy's 6-0 shockwave. Soon after. The Italians hit an 11-3 low to end the first quarter with a 22-11 record.

Such a double score is the same as the history of the original time and space, and the gap is too big.

So much so that after the game, including Yao Ming. Everyone's faces were full of decadence, and Harris couldn't help but start a fire. In this game, they were already under strong pressure from the outside world, and Harris was under even more pressure as the head coach, and because he couldn't deploy Chen Feng, a peerless warrior, to play as he wanted, Harris couldn't help but explode at this time, even if he had a good temper.

What's more, he specially formulated a man-to-man defensive tactic before the game, and as a result, after a quarter, the players on the field did not defend the opponent at all, resulting in several leaks. In this way, there is a lot of room for relaxation for the opponent, and the opponent can shoot very calmly, and the opponent has a few times to reverse the ball very quickly, and he can shoot when he falls to an outside point, so as to score.

Compared with the opponent's defense of the Chinese national team, it is called defense. Yao Ming didn't have a temper at all, causing several mistakes.

Originally, Harris didn't want his team to lead in the first quarter, but at least they should be so far behind each other. But it turned out to be directly half the score behind.

The two-minute break was over quickly and the game resumed. In the past two minutes, the players of the Chinese team have mainly been trained, and Harris has once again put a strong emphasis on defense.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yao Ming, as the core, of course, continued to start. Just as soon as it started, the Italian team scored 4 points in a row.

Fortunately, Yao Ming suddenly distributed the ball to Li Nan, who was unguarded on the outside, and the latter hit a three-point jumper. Soon after, Yao Ming was substituted, and Li Nan hit another three-pointer, but at this time, the Huaguo team still trailed the Italian team by 17-28 with a record of 11 points, and the Italian team, which had a double-digit lead, did not relax in the slightest, and they once again played an 11-2 offensive high* climax, extending the lead to 20 points - 39-19.

Such a difficult situation made the Chinese team re-replaced Yao Ming. Yao Ming brought good luck to the Huaguo team as soon as he came on the court, Zhu Fangyu hit the baseline and scored three points for the Huaguo team, at this time there were 2 minutes 02 seconds left at the end of the first half. Soon after, Italy took another 20-point lead thanks to a three-pointer from Poseco. When the second quarter was 20.4 seconds into the end, Yao Ming scored on a hook shot, and Huaguo trailed Italy by 18 points.

In the first half, Li Nan scored a team-high 9 points, and Yao Ming scored only 4 points. Italy's Chiaziger scored 14 points and Granda had nine.

It can be said that the performance of the Huaguo team in the first half was not good, and Yao Ming, the core, had a lot of responsibility, and he was almost completely frozen by the Italian team.

In fact, this can't be completely blamed on Yao Ming and his own players. In the first half of the game, the Italian team gave full play to the tough style of the European team, which greatly interfered with the performance of the Chinese team. The technical movements of the Chinese players were frequently deformed in the face of the ferocious defense of the Italian team.

Even Yao Ming, the absolute core of the Chinese national team, made several very undeserved mistakes under the opponent's pinching and pressing. Once Yao Ming grabbed the rebound in the front court, and in the second offense, because he paid too much attention to the opponent's physical confrontation, he didn't have time to adjust his steps, and actually smashed the ball directly on the basket from below. Yao Ming is also one of the two players in the Chinese team who have been tested by the NBA, and the other players can be imagined.

In the last game against Argentina, the hit rate of the Chinese team was very low. In this game, the Huaguo team still failed to get out of this strange circle, and the shooting rate was as low as 18% in the second quarter. In addition to the discomfort that comes with physical confrontation, the self-confidence of the players is also a big problem. In the second half of the second quarter, Zhu Fangyu received a pass from Yao Ming outside the three-point line, when the Italian defenders were still far away, Zhu Fangyu jumped up and hesitated, but finally chose to pass. It doesn't matter if a player doesn't dare to take responsibility, but the Huaguo team today except for Li Nan and Yao Ming is not confident enough. Every action after receiving the ball must be forward-looking, and the team's momentum will not be able to play.

Lack of self-confidence is a common problem among Chinese players, not just in basketball. The same is true for other venues, especially in some team events, where the table is even more pronounced.

Of course, the more important, and most critical core problem, is the lack of Chen Feng, the real absolute core and top scorer of the Chinese team. Or the fatal wound in the lineup configuration of the Chinese team - the defender. It was exposed again in two matches against Argentina and Italy. Liu Wei and Guo Shiqiang are the two most commonly used defenders in the Chinese national team at present. However, neither player's skill set is complete. And all have significant drawbacks.

Although Liu Wei has excellent ball control and awareness, he is relatively short and prone to mistakes when defending against opponents' tall and long arms, while Guo Shiqiang's speed, technique and height are good. But the figure is too thin, and he suffers a lot in the face of the other party's pressure. With the development of basketball, the role of the guard has become very important, and it has reached the point where it affects a team's performance and ranking. At the last Sydney Olympics, the Chinese team had hoped to defeat the French team, but was hit six three-pointers in succession by the opponent's excellent scoring guard, and the good situation was in vain.

Chen Feng is now the team's scoring guard, and in the last two games, he also directly used sharp three-point shots to directly defeat and win. Beat Spain and New Zealand to the point where they didn't have a temper at all. And without Chen Feng, a scoring guard, in this game, the overall strength and level of the Huaguo team have dropped several notches again, from the world-class to the second-rate or even third-rate level.

Because of this, at halftime, Harris did not scold anymore, but reformulated the tactics. The personnel were also adjusted, and Yao Ming, who was very poor at the table, was directly removed from the court, replaced by Battle, and strengthened the defense and scramble on the outside.

Of course, Yao Ming couldn't object to the head coach's arrangement, and stood aside with his head slumped. Chen Feng patted him comfortingly on the shoulder. Yao Ming replied with an apologetic wry smile. His performance in this game was indeed not good.

"In the first half, the Chinese team was a bit bad, the defense was not in place, and the shooting percentage was very low. Let's see a similar scenario again in the last game against Argentina. In the live broadcast room of Tianchao TV, Yang Jian said with some disappointment, "Now that the Huaguo team is behind by a big score, do you think Harris will immediately send Chen Feng on the court in the third quarter?"

Coach Feng shook his head slightly and said: "This is really hard to say, if it were me, I wouldn't do this, Chen Feng has been stipulated to only play one game." And everyone knows that the most critical game in the whole game is the fourth quarter of the last quarter, so Chen Feng is better off playing in the last quarter. ”

"Now our Chinese team is already trailing by more than 18 points, and the disparity in the score may widen in the third quarter. If that happens to the last quarter, even if Chen Feng is sent on the court, he may not be able to recover the score and win the game. Is it possible to let Chen Feng fight twice apart. Play five minutes in the third quarter and another five minutes in the final quarter?"

Coach Feng nodded and said: "If it can be arranged like this, of course it is the best, but in the first half of the game before, we fell behind by so many points, and Harris didn't send Chen Feng to save the game, so maybe we can't arrange Chen Feng." ”

Fan Zhizhi also said: "If there is no Chen Feng, a scoring guard, to save the game in the second half, I think we will be more hung in this game." Now what we lack is a shooting guard who has super scoring ability and breakthrough ability. Only Chen Feng can turn defeat into victory. ”

Yang Jian said: "We can only hope that Chen Feng can play in two quarters now, and it would be a pity to lose this game, and it will be a big blow to our morale." ”

Of course, the basketball team has long thought of the possibility of splitting Chen Feng into four quarters to play the game, and Chen Feng himself proposed it, but after reporting, the result was opposed by the team leaders, and also hinted that the basketball team leader who called had better not let Chen Feng play.

The team leader didn't dare to go against the spirit of the leader's speech, and naturally Harris, the head coach, couldn't go against it, this is not the NBA, and his constraints as a head coach can be said too much.

At halftime, when Harris finished arranging the new tactics, Chen Feng took the initiative to propose to him to let him play in the third quarter, and after trying to tie the score back, he went off the court and played in the last quarter. But as a result, the leader immediately objected and took out the order of the regimental leader. Of course, Harris very much wanted Chen Feng to go up to the rescue in the third quarter. But the team leader objected, and he didn't do it.

Therefore, after halftime, the players on the court in the third quarter, except for Yao Ming, were replaced. The rest are the line-ups for the first half. Let the global audience can't help but be disappointed.

Yang Jian was also very disappointed and said: "It seems that Chen Feng did not play in the third quarter, obviously this is not because of Chen Feng himself and Harris himself." After all, with such a big score behind, both of them very much hope that Chen Feng can play. All right. The game restarted, the jump ball started, and Bart grabbed the ball......"

Bart jumped the ball successfully, and the Chinese team took the lead in attacking. Bart grabbed the key position under the basket, the opponent pushed and fouled, and the Chinese team hit one of two free throws. Although the Chinese team's hard work has increased compared to the previous game, it is still difficult for the Chinese team to gain any points in the score, and Bart is closely guarded by the opponent, making it difficult to shoot. The Chinese national team could only watch as the Italian team opened up the score gap again. Before being replaced by Yao Ming, Bart once relied on the basket to get a chance to add a free throw, and scored a rare three points for the Chinese team. The Italians ended the third quarter with an 18-6 high, and the Chinese team trailed 39-60.

As soon as the third quarter ended, Yang Jian said with some annoyance: "Compared to the Italian team. Our defensive collective was too poor, especially the poor awareness of rotation. In the NBA or the best teams in Europe, there are often people who make up for the ball immediately after the breakaway, and we are after the opponent breaks through the ball. It directly causes leakage. Moreover, as soon as Italy expanded its defense today, we immediately disconnected from the inside and outside, and then caused our mistakes, they played fast attack, and the players could not return to defense in time, and the opponent would inevitably attack successfully, which is also the reason for their high shooting rate today. ”

Coach Feng also said: "In addition, we can't help but emphasize that the opponent's individual skills are really excellent, and in an undefended state, even if there is a high-intensity defense, their shots can still be hit." The players of the Chinese team are very lacking in this ability. From this point of view, the Chinese men's basketball team can be said to lose to Italy first in terms of basic skills. ”

Fan Zhizhi, as a basketball player who is also on active duty, has relatives at this time, so he can say something good for his former national team teammates: "The key this time is that our team lacks Chen Feng, the absolute core, so that everyone will play abnormally." I heard that the previous tactical arrangements of Coach Harris were closely built around Chen Feng, but now Chen Feng is missing as the absolute core, so that the offensive is weak, the offense and defense are out of line, and the coordination is disjointed. I believe that if Chen Feng plays, it will be better. Fortunately, we are only 21 points behind now, Chen Feng can chase back with seven three-pointers, and with Chen Feng joining in the last ten minutes of the quarter, I think we may still be able to turn defeat into victory. In the previous game against Spain, it was more or less the current situation. ”

Fan Zhizhi's words in front of him were obviously partial, and everyone understood them. However, his later words are also reasonable, the last time he played against the Spanish team, Chen Feng also played in the last quarter, and finally turned the tide and turned defeat into victory. Therefore, although everyone is very disappointed and annoyed when they see this game, they don't feel that the Huaguo team has lost.

This is also where the whole Italian team is distressed now, and they also learned through guò channels that Chen Feng can only play one game, so in the absence of Chen Feng, they all rushed up and down to catch up, trying to expand the score to the point that even if Chen Feng came on the field, he was unable to recover it. However, even though they led the Chinese team by as many as 21 points and only had ten minutes left in the final quarter, they still did not have much confidence that they would be able to win the game.

What's even more distressing is that Chen Feng is about to play, and they are about to face Chen Feng's three-point bombardment, which is completely predictable. even had to face Chen Feng's steals and blocks. Just thinking about it has caused the morale of the Italian team to drop a lot.

As the coach of the Italian team, Carol was not sure of winning before the final quarter of the game, but he still cheered for his teammates: " Guys, victory is just around the corner, and in the last quarter of the game, we may meet Chen Feng, a star player, who is very good at his three-point shooting, but we have rehearsed his personal characteristics several times before, as long as we continue to carry forward our tough play, take a pinch attack on Chen Feng, and try not to give him a chance to shoot, I believe we will definitely win this game in the end. Guys, don't forget, now we are really 21 points ahead of the Chinese team, no matter how good Chen Feng is, as long as we suppress him a little bit and try not to let him score, we will win. Chen Feng is also a human, not a god, and there is nothing remarkable. As long as we carry these last ten minutes, we will be fine. ”

Carroll's words helped somewhat, at least everyone knew that there were only ten minutes left in the game, and they were as many as 21 points ahead of the Chinese team. Even last time, the Spanish team was almost ahead of the score and was defeated by Chen Feng, but they are not the Spanish team, and they believe that their three-man defense will definitely be able to contain Chen Feng's play a little. As long as Chen Feng is slightly restrained from scoring, plus his own side also scores, there is a great chance to win the game.
