Chapter 147: The Tandem
The Chinese team had two points of contact, and they were both big men who were good at shooting, which was very bad news for the Lithuanian team.
With the continuous development of basketball, especially the NBA has brought its own style to the world, big men who are good at shooting, especially those who are good at shooting three-pointers, are becoming more and more rare, and even gradually becoming different, and the NBA requires big men to stand on the inside for physical confrontation, rather than floating on the outside to shoot three-pointers. For example, in the future, the New York Knicks selected Porzingis, and was scolded by the media all the way, what melons cried in the toilet, Zen master ruined the Knicks, and so on, and so on, and then the facts proved how correct the Knicks' choice was.
Nowadays, although the big men who are good at shooting three-point points are not as rare as in the future, there are not many players who can shoot three-pointers who are more than 2.10 meters tall, although many big men in Europe have shooting ability, including Nowitzki, Gasol, etc., but they will spend more time on the inside than shooting three-pointers outside. Because both tactically and strategically, the paint zone is where they are most needed.
Any player who is more than 2.10 meters tall is a valuable asset for the team, and even in places like Croatia and Lithuania, which are rich in big players, they are reluctant to let a player over 2.10 meters shoot three points all the time, and the benefits of attacking on the inside are obviously greater.
In the next offensive and defensive battle, the Lithuanian team still scored easily, while the Chinese team once again copied the previous style of play, roughly shooting a three-pointer without being marked.
After two rounds of competition, the Lithuanian team scored 4 points, but the Chinese team scored 6 points, which made the players of the Lithuanian team a little depressed.
Coach Slalica decisively called another timeout and rearranged his defensive tactics.
The Lithuanian team has the world's top joint defense system, of course, it will not be collapsed because of one or two breakthrough points, although the Chinese team's two shooting points have a huge height advantage, but the Lithuanian team can barely cope with it through its own adjustments.
At this time, the joint defense system of the Lithuanian team will bear a lot of pressure, and they need more active and decisive runs to make their own joint defense system work and successfully keep an eye on everyone in the Chinese team.
"It's still Zhang Guan, his breakthrough speed is too fast, I remember the Olympics four years ago, Iverson and Wade in the United States did not have such a fast breakthrough speed, although we are very good at preventing breakthroughs, but when the speed of the players is fast to a certain extent, it must involve more of our energy."
Slalica is reminiscent of four years of the Olympics, where they had a very successful defense against the U.S. team's breakaways, and the U.S. coaches changed their tactics decisively when they found it difficult to score points.
The Chinese team is different from the American team, the American team is all superstars, and everyone's personal ability is top-notch, even if Iverson is not good, Wade is not good, there is a stronger Kobe, and a stronger James. If it doesn't work to break through twice, then don't break through, let's change the offensive method, anyway, the last thing the American team lacks is the means of scoring.
However, the Chinese team is not as rich as the American team, there are not so many stars, they can compete with the Lithuanian team with only one or two sets of lineups, and there are only so many scoring methods they can use, so even if the Lithuanian team's joint defense system is good at preventing breakthroughs, Zhang Guan still has to take the ball and fearlessly rush to the basket, because the Chinese team has almost no other scoring means to break through the joint defense of the Lithuanian team.
After the timeout returned to the court, Zhang Guan attacked with the ball again, still breaking through the ball.
This time, the Lithuanian team's joint defense did a very good job, they did not miss Da Yao, nor did they miss the rough.
But they missed the league, and although he was far away from Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan still passed the ball to the United Arab Emirates with a one-handed toss.
The arc of the pass was a bit high, but the UAE was the best bounce of the three insiders, jumping up to catch the ball and then landing on the ground for another jumper.
"Whoosh!" The basketball falls into the box.
Coach Slylika's face instantly turned cloudy.
"How a big guy who can shoot again!"
……
In people's cognition, the Chinese team is a team that relies on the inside, the core of the team is the inside, the team's offense relies on the inside, the team's defense relies on the inside, no matter when, there will inevitably be at least one big man on the field, what "small lineup" This kind of vocabulary will never appear in the dictionary of the Chinese team.
However, today, the three major interior lines of the Chinese team are all floating outside, and only Zhang Guan, a point guard, breaks through to the basket by himself. This situation, no one could have imagined.
2.26m, 2.14m, 2.13m, that's the height of the three inside lines, and these three numbers make the Lithuanian team desperate, and they will struggle to find enough men to keep an eye on these three inside lines, unless they are willing to play four big men.
Zhang Guan's breakthrough speed is fast and sharp, if the defender is not tall enough, Zhang Guan can go directly to the basket, so there must be a big man to defend Zhang Guan's breakthrough, in addition to sending three big men to keep an eye on the three interior lines of the Chinese team? It's certainly impossible.
At this time, on the court, the three interior lines are like three turrets, but in fact, the most critical part of this set of tactics is Zhang Guan, because this style of play requires one person to connect the three interior lines in series, and one person needs to provide ammunition for the three turrets. This person must be strong enough, fast enough, have enough passing awareness, have enough passing skills, and have rich experience, and must be able to calmly judge the situation on the court, judge who to pass the ball to the best choice, and if the player has the above conditions, he will definitely become a basketball superstar long ago.
But as a basketball superstar, there will inevitably be more offensive means, and he will inevitably become the offensive core of the team, and he will not do the work of tandem turrets to deliver ammunition. A player of Kobe James's level is placed in any team, and others play with them. So this kind of situation on the field is impossible to happen in other teams, because no superstar will be willing to be a green leaf, or turn into a candle to burn himself to illuminate others.
Zhang Guan is the only one, he has a strong body, top speed, and has studied a bachelor's degree experience, but he is a rookie in basketball, so he has become this person who connects the three turrets.
……
The Lithuanian team's joint defense system can't help the three fixed-point turrets of the Chinese team, they will always miss one of them, and Zhang Guan will always find the person who was missed by the Lithuanian team.
Similarly, the Chinese team could not defend against the Lithuanian team, and by the second half of the fourth quarter, Kreiza and Siskauskas had both scored 20 points, and Jascovitius had already brushed a double-double.
The scores of the two sides alternated and finally came to 92 draws, at which time there was still half a minute before the end of the game, and according to the current situation, both teams each had a chance to attack.
The moment of decisive battle has finally arrived. (To be continued.) )
