Chapter 352: The Bald Strikes Back
At halftime, Ginobili was the first to walk into the players' tunnel.
In the first half of the game, the Argentine demon knife was obviously unhappy, and Ji Guozhi Ning Yuan on the opposite side put his opponent to score and also came over to cover Ginobili to limit the scoring of the Argentine core.
This defensive strategy worked very well, Ji Guoyi's own offense was not affected too much, he averaged 23.8 points per game in the first six games, and 10 points in the first half today is considered a normal performance. But Ginobili on the opposite side averaged 19.8 points per game, and only scored 5 points in the half today, and the demon knife was obviously limited.
"A stalemate is not a bad thing for Canada, they have three All-Stars on their team, and if the game drags on until the last few minutes, the more star-studded Canadian team is more likely to end the game with individual ability at key moments," said Reasonable Master at halftime. β
Fernandez has been fighting for a long time, so he naturally knows that a stalemate is not a good thing for Argentina, and the United States team has been playing in the international basketball arena, often slow and slow to enter the state, and sometimes the first half or even the first three quarters are formed by Spain, Argentina and other strong teams to form a tug-of-war.
However, it is difficult for these international powerhouses to open up the score gap in the face of the slow-burning American team, the dream team is not in a state of attack, but only rely on the mistakes caused by defense and high-intensity pressing to form a stalemate with the opponent, once a star has a convulsion at a certain time, the American team can take the opportunity to open the score and defeat the opponent.
Almost all of the U.S. team is a star, and it's almost impossible to meet their overall slump.
The current Canadian team has a bit of this meaning, except for the Big Three and two inside substitutes, Canada has no players who can get their hands on it, but they can face Argentina without falling behind only by relying on the table of the Big Three.
What Finnandez feels most frustrating now is that they know that Canada relies on the Big Three at both ends of the pitch, but Argentina will just not be able to limit these three guys.
At this moment, many Big Three fans are clamoring in various forums, why can't Nash and the twin brothers be restricted by Argentina, but Ginobili can be restricted by Canada?
There is only one answer: that is, Ginobili and Scala can only be regarded as all-stars, but one of the Canadian Big Three is a real superstar, and the other two also have all-star strength and superstar potential, which is a suppression of strength.
At the beginning of the second half, these people were slapped in the face by a big bald head!
Ginobili is the only player who can play in the Spurs without the Spurs, and he is also the only non-American in the Olympic arena to face the Dream Team to kill all sides, this guy can become a poor version of Jordan in 2 quarters of a game in his prime, if he is not a superstar, but if he is not an All-Star, it is necessary to recruit black for his idol.
Manu's peak was around 05, when he was bald and still a handsome Argentine guy with long hair and fluttering. Looking back on the past, once Manu went berserk, he could become a poor version of Jordan in half a quarter. And if the current bald Manu is rampant, he can still transform for about ten minutes, and this transformation time was chosen by him in the third quarter.
Ji Guoyi did a good job of helping to defend Ginobili in the first half, and the international basketball arena allowed him to give full play to his historic footstep advantage in the No. 4 position. Many American fans feel that unless Durant plays the No. 4 position, it is almost impossible to find a tall interior player who is more flexible than him. Even in the entire history of the NBA, there must not be a few No. 4 positions that can compete with him.
However, in the second half, Ginobili calmed down after 20 minutes in the midfield, and added a change in rhythm when he broke through in the second half. At the same time, Argentina's two inside lines helped him try to block his opposing players as much as possible, creating a breakthrough route for him.
As soon as Ji Guosha came up in the second half, he was immediately scored by Ginobili twice in a row, which made many Argentine fans in front of the TV shout!
At the start of the third quarter, the two teams were at a stalemate again, Ginobili broke through twice, but Nash immediately returned the color with a three-pointer, and Argentina still couldn't close the score gap.
The stalemate between the two teams lasted until 3 minutes left in the third quarter, when Scola suddenly made a back-to-back kick and caused a defensive foul on Ji Guoqiu on the inside, making it two and one.
The Argentine actor's outburst finally turned the score into 50:56, which was the highest score difference between the two teams today, and Canada was 6 points behind.
The game time has entered the substitution stage, but there is nothing on both sides, Argentina does not dare to replace Ginobili and Scola at this time, and Canada does not dare to replace any of the big three.
Argentina only replaced Delfino, and this substitution made a big difference, Ginobili broke through the score in a row, assisted the former Raptors shooter to hit two three-pointers in a row, which made Canada a big mess; Then Ginobili himself also took advantage of the chaos to hit an ultra-long-distance three-pointer, and Argentina's 9-2 scoring wave made Canada a little dizzy, and Triano had to call a timeout.
At 1 minute and 25 seconds in the third quarter, the score was 52:65, and Argentina immediately broke the deadlock with a wave of high injuries, leading Canada by 13 points, which was the biggest score gap between the two teams today.
In the CCTV live broadcast room, Yao Ming is also watching the game with the two masters at the moment, today he is a guest, after seeing Canada trail by 13 points in a blink of an eye, the little giant said: "We played against the Argentine team in the previous Diamond Cup, this team has inside and outside, but we think their outside line is more threatening, Ginobili, Delfino and Nocioni are all NBA three-point masters, they will be very scary once they have a convulsion." However, Canada is not bad in this regard, Nash is a regular in the 180 club, and his long-range shooting ability is more accurate than Argentina's three guns, Ji Guoyi was the three-point king last season, and also broke the record, and the output of the two of them is as good as Argentina's three. If Canada adjusts after the timeout, I believe they have the quality to fight back. β
Master Reason suddenly said: "Da Yao has not been on the Internet recently, and now many Yao Hei have made a lot of unfavorable remarks about you after the Olympic Games. β
Yao Ming smiled: "How to say this question, I have read the comments of Yao Hei and Yao Mi, because I also belong to people who like to surf the Internet, how can the new generation of people not go online." Sometimes Yao Hei stimulates me even more from a certain Cheng dΓΉ, I used to read these Yao Hei's comments and couldn't stand it, so I wrote something to reply, and then was scolded by a lot of Yao Hei Yao Mi, and squirted again. Later, I also wanted to tell the media, but when I thought about it, there was no way to say it one by one, not to mention that they didn't necessarily read it, they didn't necessarily understand it, and they didn't necessarily want to change it if they understood, and the best way to do it was to train and compete, and there would be less when they were scolded as a winner. β
At this time, the game on the field has restarted, the Argentine fans did not be happy for long, after the game restarted, Canada really returned the opponent, Ji Guoyi used his teammates to cover the inside line to stage an aerial relay, and it was the Panda Hero who passed the ball for him.
Ji Guoqiu's assists in the Olympics have dropped a lot compared to when he was in the NBA, on the one hand, because of the different rules of international basketball, and on the other hand, it is also related to Nash's more control of the ball.
Argentina's defensive intensity at the end of the third quarter was also very large, Canada's next offense, Nash and Ji Guoyi didn't get a chance, but Brother Panda was unguarded at the three-point line at the top of the arc, and he hit a three-point shot after receiving Nash's ball, which scared everyone!
Fernandez immediately asked Oberto to post it, and Ji Guoqiu should be strictly guarded outside the three-point line, this is not the NBA, the three-point line in the international arena is a short section shorter than the NBA, and Ji Guoqiu is not lethal on the three-point line in international basketball.
After the game restarted, Canada let Argentina fail to score two consecutive attacks on the defensive end, although they did not score the ball either, and the scene seemed to enter a stalemate again.
In the last attack of the third quarter, Ji Guoqiu received the ball at the top of the arc again, and this time Oberto didn't dare to let him shoot, so he hurriedly posted up and defended closely.
Ji Guoqiu in the high position, in addition to the strategy and the middle distance, there is also a barely passable high breakthrough. However, due to the average ability to control the ball, this trick is not commonly used, and he is worried about being cut off, but because of this, once it is used, it can often achieve unexpected results, such as this time......
Oberto didn't expect Ji Guoqiu to break through the meeting frame, and was overjoyed by the panda brother quickly dribbling the ball for a moment, and then the giant panda's two long legs took two steps and went directly to the basket, and quickly picked up the basket before the Argentine player reacted.
The Chinese fans in the Wukesong Stadium cheered loudly, Ji Guoqiu's breakthrough this time was really lightning, and in a blink of an eye, he killed from outside the three-point line to the basket, not at all like a big man with a height of 211cm, and the Argentine players did not react.
Yao Ming smiled at the moment: "I was so rushed by him in the NBA, once it is too close, the explosiveness of the twins is comparable to that of the No. 3 player, and the light yΓ¬ can get rid of the inside player, and a big man like me can't react at all." And their legs are long, as long as they break through, they can hit the basket in two steps, and if they don't prevent it in advance, it's really too late to defend. β
This was the last attack of the two teams in the third quarter, and after Ji Guoqiu scored this goal, Canada hit a 7-0 return before the end of the third quarter, and the score became 59:65, and the difference became 6 points.
Ji Guoqiu had 18 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoyi had 15 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks, and Nash had 16 points and 6 assists.
Ginobili 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Scola 15 points and 7 rebounds, Nocioni 11 points, Delfino 14 points, Oberto 4 points, Paboro. Prigioni 4 points. R1152
