Coach Younas was very satisfied with Zhang Guan's performance, originally he thought that Zhang Guan could pass the ball to Da Yao's hands, and occasionally showed one or two breakthrough abilities that were already very good, but he didn't expect Zhang Guan to be able to limit the two ace point guards of the Greek team. It can be said that Zhang Guan's performance has exceeded Younas's expectations.

In fact, there is no shortage of people who are good at offense in this Chinese team, not to mention the world's first-class interior combination offensive ability, and several players on the outside also have good shooting ability. But several outside players are basically good at attacking and not defending, otherwise Sun Yue would not have gotten a lot of playing time.

And now, Younas has finally found someone who can defend on the perimeter, and can also limit Greece's two ace point guards so well. At this time, Younas couldn't help but be a little lucky, when he saw the DV video of Zhang Guan playing, if Younas didn't have so much curiosity at that time, maybe there would not be the current Zhang Guan.

I saw Younas briefly emphasize the precautions of the second quarter of the game, and then announced the list of players who will play after the start of the second quarter. In addition to Da Yao's return to the court, Liu Wei also temporarily replaced Sun Yue, Li Nan temporarily replaced Zhu Fangyu, and Zhang Guan was still in the list of players.

Hearing Younas's arrangement, the two assistant coaches of the Chinese team frowned at the same time.

Coach Guo hesitated, but still stepped forward and said to Younas: "Coach, Zhang Guan has played a full quarter of the game just now, and if he is to be allowed to play next, the physical exertion for Zhang Guan is very large, should we let him rest at the beginning of the second quarter?" Wait for three or five minutes before letting Zhang Guan play? ”

Younas shook his head: "I mean your thoughts, I also want to let Zhang Guan rest first, it's not that I don't want to replace Zhang Guan now, but I don't dare to replace Zhang Guan." Greece's two point guards are very good, and if Zhang Guan is replaced, who can stand up to Papalukas or Diamantidis? As long as Papalukas and Diamantidis are on the court, I don't dare to change the crown. ”

"Zhang Guan's physical strength looks pretty good now, but after all, this is only the first quarter, and there are still three quarters of the game, and what I am most worried about is that by the fourth quarter, Zhang Guan's physical strength will be unbearable." Coach Guo spoke.

Coach Younas thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "I'm also betting, I'm betting that Yanakis will give up the game first." ”

Coach Guo looked confused, and Coach Younas went on to explain: "I know Giannakis very well, he is a person who likes to seek stability, so his team is also a team that has always been good at defense. We and Greece have already qualified from the group, and for us to get out of the group of death and qualify for the quarter-finals of the Olympics, we are not the same as the Greek team, they are aiming for a medal, and I guess the Greek team will definitely have room to go into this game for the next knockout round. ”

Coach Younas paused for a moment, waited for the interpreter to finish, and then continued: "From what I know about Giannakis, if Iannakis thinks it will be easy to defeat us, of course he will not give up; And if Iannakis thinks we're a tough nut to go, he might have given up the game in the second half. Let the main players retain their physical strength and cope with the elimination of the day after tomorrow. So we have to show a tough side, and we have to make Giannakis feel that beating us is a thing that doesn't outweigh the loss! ”

……

The second quarter began, and when the players walked onto the court, Giannakis found Zhang Guan still on the court.

"Zhang Guan is still on the field!" Giannakis frowned suddenly, he originally planned that when Zhang Guan was not on the court, the Greek team could play the advantage of point guard to catch up and even overtake the score, but now it seems that Younas has no intention of replacing Zhang Guan on the court.

"Maybe I should change my formation and let Papalukas and Diamantis play at the same time, so that Zhang Guan can only defend one of them." Thinking of this, Coach Giannakis called Diamantis to his side and began to lay out his tactics.

……

Perhaps because of the lead in the score, the Chinese team at this time has played morale, the inside Da Yao hit two goals in a row, and the outside Li Nan and Liu Wei also hit three-pointers one after another, and the Chinese team actually widened the score gap to 15 points at the beginning of the second quarter of the game.

On the other hand, the Greek team did not improve on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, first Fortesis missed a shot, and then this missed shot as if it would be contagious, and Vaslopous and Giridaniakis also smashed out of the basket.

Immediately afterwards, Spanoulis was pulled by Li Nan when he broke through, and naturally he did not score a goal, but the referee did not blow Li Nan for a foul, and Spanoulis was very unhappy and wanted to protest to the referee, but was directly ignored by the referee.

The Greek players on the sidelines immediately realized that the home whistle of the Chinese team was coming.

The Chinese team is playing at home, in addition to the support of enthusiastic spectators, the referee also has a bias in blowing penalties, especially in the Olympic Games, even if the punishment is very biased towards the home team, at most it will attract some complaints after the game. And the FIBA and the Tournament Fair Committee of the Olympic Games will not be blind to the problems of the home team.

Besides, people are sympathetic to the weak, and the Chinese team is obviously in a weak position in front of the Greek team, so the referee's blowing penalty has always been biased in favor of the Chinese team.

With a 15-point difference, Coach Giannakis had to call a timeout, and after the timeout, he sent Papalukas and Diamantis on the pitch at the same time.

"The Greek team actually sent Papalukas and Diamantis on the pitch at the same time! I wonder which of the two of them will organize the attack? The narrator spoke.

"I think it's still Papalucas and Diamandis is the shooting guard, and each side plays to its strengths." The commentator paused, and then said: "I just don't know if there will be problems in the distribution of the ball." ”

Diamantis had been instructed by Coach Giannakis before he came on the pitch, with Papalukas in charge of organizing the attack, while Diamantis was only in charge of scoring; In defence, Diamantes is still in charge of marking Zhang Guan.

Giannakis' change of formation did have some effect, and in the next few rounds, the Greek team recovered a six-point deficit and closed the gap to nine points.

When Coach Younas was about to call a timeout, Zhang Guan used another quick counterattack to stabilize the situation, and then he made another steal to stretch the score to 13 points again.

……

In front of the TV, Scola involuntarily sighed: "Why do I think the Greek team may lose today!" ”

"I feel that way, too. Just now, the Greek team had just had the momentum of chasing points, and they were immediately beaten back by Zhang Guan's two fast attacks. Ginobili continued: "Do you feel that Zhang's fast-break selection is very similar to that of a person? ”

"Are you going to say Wade again?" Scola spoke.

Ginobili shook his head: "At first, I just thought that Zhang Guan's breakthrough speed was fast, so I would think of Wade, but now it seems that he is more like Kobe!" ”

"Kobe?" Scola's eyes widened in surprise. (To be continued.) )
