Nakba wanted to step up and take on the team's scoring responsibility, but Zhang Guan stepped up one step earlier, a fast-break layup after a steal, and took the lead. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Dragic shook his head a little frustratedly, this goal was entirely his responsibility, if it wasn't for his passing mistake and being tackled by Zhang Guan, it would not have caused Zhang Guan's fast attack behind.

"It's okay, don't care, Zhang Guan's speed is really fast, if you change to someone else, you will also be robbed." Nakba stepped forward to comfort him that he wanted to make it easier for Dragic.

But Dragic could sense that Zhang's steal was not as simple as it seemed.

In the Phoenix Suns, Dragic as a backup guard is not the tactical core, and the team rarely arranges the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics that he is good at, so Dragic is more of a firepower addition to the bench than a passer. But that doesn't mean Dragic's passing skills are inferior, and in fact as a European defender, passing is impossible to get any worse.

Dragic is still very confident in his passing level, and the interception just now was completed from the front, which is not just fast and can be completed, but also requires accurate judgment.

"Zhang Guan judged my passing route in advance, so he was able to complete this kind of tackle." Dragic took a deep breath, and he suddenly felt that Zhang Guan might be more difficult than the rumors.

……

The game continued, and the clever Dragic felt the pressure from Zhang Guan in the first attack, and his style of play became more conservative, and many times he even chose to pass the ball to Nakba just after half-time, and then Nakba completed the attack.

Nakba is only a qualified bench in the NBA, especially in terms of shooting, which makes him a good shooter, and the team needs him to contribute from beyond the three-point line. But in the Slovenian team, Nakba, as the tactical core, has to take on the responsibility of organizing the attack, and Slovenia's tactical system can also activate Nakba's assist ability. So Nakba decisively took over the responsibility of Dragic organizing the defenders and began to direct the whole team's attack.

Blazek and Da Yao were locked into each other's hands, and in the face of the taller Da Yao, it was obviously impossible for Brezek to take on the attack. And Dragic is completely inferior to Zhang Guan, so Nakba can only rely on two teammates, Zupan and Rakovic, in addition to himself.

Zupan is clearly the obvious choice to finish the offense, and although the deaf player is in the small forward position, he is tall and heavy enough to play power forward, and has an advantage in terms of alignment. At the same time, Zupan's skills are good, the ball quotient is very high, the key is to play focused, this kind of player as an offensive finisher, the success rate of scoring is also relatively high.

As the initiator of the attack, Nakba did not hesitate to choose Zupan as the main vitality output point, and Zupan also lived up to expectations, even with sudden throws, and scored eight points in a blink of an eye.

In terms of the Chinese team, it was not Zhang Guan who took the lead in full vitality, but the United Arab Emirates.

After the first goal, the next four attacks were all completed by the UAE, although only four points were scored on two of the four shots, but two fouls were committed by the Slovenian team's defenders, and two points were scored by free throws, making the UAE temporarily the highest scorer in the Chinese team.

The player opposite the UAE is Rakovic, which is also the main reason for the outbreak of the UAE.

Although Rakovic has not played in the NBA, he was drafted by the NBA in 2007, like the United Arab Emirates, which is the No. 6 rookie and belongs to the higher position in the lottery area, and Rakovic is the No. 60 rookie, the last of all the rookies.

Since the UAE entered the NBA, it has been questioned, and many American media or basketball commentators believe that his performance is not worthy of the No. 6 rookie position, so in today's No. 60 rookie in the same period, the UAE is very eager to play a dominant performance, and he wants to prove that he is absolutely worthy of the No. 6 rookie position.

If the No. 6 rookie can't beat the No. 60 rookie in the same period, even if it is a half-pound or eight taels, he will inevitably be identified as a "parallel import", and the UAE certainly does not want to bring the name of "parallel import", so he is extremely active and resolute in the attack. The United Arab Emirates, which has a higher height and technical advantage, allowed Rakovic to receive two fouls in the middle of the first quarter.

In NBA games, players who lead two fouls in the first quarter of the game will inevitably be replaced by the coach, and even in the second quarter of the game, they will be used more cautiously. The NBA's rule is to foul six times before being sent off, while the international basketball rule is to foul five times, a difference between this foul and making the foul opportunity more precious. So getting two fouls in the first quarter was even more deadly.

Rakovic was replaced by the Slovenian coach as soon as he received his second foul. Slovenia are not short of No.4 players, and in addition to the bench, Zupan and Nakba in the starting lineup can also play in the No.4 position, so Rakovic may not get a chance to play in the second quarter.

The two sides were tied 10-10 in the middle of the first quarter and looked evenly matched, but in fact it was clear that Slovenia had suffered because one of their main players had to sit on the bench for two fouls.

……

Coach Zhidovic was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, he called a timeout, but instead of arranging the next tactics, he poured chicken soup for the soul on his disciples.

"Have you forgotten how we lost to the Chinese team at the World Championships four years ago? We were beaten at the last second, we tried all we could, and when we were about to win, we lost the game at the last minute! Coach Zhidovich roared loudly: "You must remember that we are Avengers, and Avengers should be full of anger and courage, not like a soft egg!" ”

Coach Zhidovic obviously hopes that the players can play more aggressively, which is also expressing his dissatisfaction with Dragic in disguise, in Coach Zhidovic's view, Dragic is too conservative in the face of Zhang Guan.

Dragic felt the coach's eyes on him, and he could hear the extra meaning of Coach Zhydovic's words, and he knew that if he didn't show more aggressiveness, he might lose the coach's trust in him.

The game started again, Dragic really showed more courage, in the face of Zhang Guan's defense, his offense was more decisive, there were breakthroughs, there were shots, but unfortunately, the ball was not scored.

In the face of Zhang Guan's defense, even Kobe Bryant did not choose to break through, but chose a stop-and-go jump shot, so Dragic was even more unlikely to break through Zhang Guan's defense. In terms of body, Dragic is far inferior to Zhang Guan, and it is impossible for him to force a breakthrough like a tank; In terms of speed, Dragic is also far inferior to Zhang Guan, and it is impossible for him to use speed to get rid of Zhang Guan.

The breakthrough was unsuccessful, Dragic could only force a shot, which is also an offensive method that Dragic is very good at, Dragic shot as high as 45% last season, and the three-point shooting rate reached 39%, both of which are among the best among the NBA guards, and he relied on this weapon to secure the position of the Suns' backup guard.

The three-point line in international basketball is closer, so it should be easier to shoot, but it's not just that Zhang Guan puts too much pressure on Dragic, or Dragic's own hand is too bad, and several consecutive shots are off the basket, and even one time was blocked by Zhang Guan.

Dragic is not the kind of player who is good at pull-up jump shots, he is good at shooting, one is a jump shot after receiving the ball, and the other is a mid-range step-back jumper, but the former requires the cooperation of teammates, such as the empty position after blocking and dismantling, while the latter's action frequency is slow, which is also a flaw in Dragic's mid-range shooting technique.

Last season, Dragic also used the step-back jumper a lot, but since then, everyone is familiar with his technical characteristics and knows that his step-back jumper is slow, so there is a more targeted way to deal with it. In today's game, Dragic's opponent is Zhang Guan, a player who runs fast and jumps high, and his slow movements have become the fatal injury of Dragic's shooting.

Because Dragic failed to attack several times in a row, the Chinese team also took this opportunity to pull the score away and gain a 5-point lead.

At this time, Da Yao's playing time came, and he was replaced off the field, and he appeared in the center forward position roughly in place.

The approximate height is two centimeters shorter than Blazek's, and the physical confrontation cannot put Blazek under pressure, which allows Blazek to finally play, and in just three rounds, Blazek has four points in the account. However, in the fourth round, he also hit a long-range three-pointer, which made Brezek's face look ugly.

The approximate three-point shot opening meant that Blazek's defense had to chase beyond the three-point line. When facing Da Yao before, Blazek only needed to stay under the basket to defend, after all, the international basketball rules do not have three seconds of defense, and this is also the strength of the big center under the international basketball rules. And now Blazek, a big center with a height of 216 cm, is forced to appear on the three-point line to defend, which undoubtedly weakens the advantage of the big center.

Blazek ran to the three-point line and also gave Zhang Guan a chance to break through.

Prior to this, Da Yao and Blazek stayed on the inside and had occupied a lot of space, and if two big forwards were added, the basket would be very crowded, which was not conducive to the breakthrough of backcourt players. But now that there are two big centers missing, Zhang Guan instantly gained a great space for breakthroughs.

Zhang Guan did not miss this opportunity, as soon as Blazek was roughly pulled out, he immediately chose to break through, and it was the kind of breakthrough without fancy, relying solely on his body and speed.

Dragic once again became a victim, he knew that Zhang Guan was going to break through, but he couldn't prevent Zhang Guan, but he really wanted to prevent Zhang Guan, so in the case of inferior speed and body, he could only choose to block the eye-catching defensive method and use more large movements to stop Zhang Guan.

As the whistle blew, Dragic also received two fouls at the end of the first quarter for his lack of coolness, and there is no doubt that he is unlikely to be repeated in the first half.

Both starters received two fouls, Slovenia's road to revenge seemed extremely bumpy, even if the Slovenian team has a deep basketball background, but the strength of the bench is still not as good as the starters after all, at the end of the first half, China 42-35, maintaining a 7-point lead.

……

In the locker room, the Slovenian players bowed their heads and looked very depressed, and in front of them, Coach Zhidovic had a gloomy face, as if he had just returned from hell.

"See what you guys look like? We were only seven points behind and we had a full half to go, so we only needed three or four goals to take the lead! What do you have to be frustrated with? Coach Zhidovic said, pushing away the tactical board, and continued: "In the second half, we have to change, we have to play our own style, I need you to move and cooperate with each other!" Especially you, Golan. ”

Coach Zhidovic looked at Dragic and said, "I need a commander, not a guy who just runs around and shoots, and as a point guard, you have to calm down and command this fight, so you can't stay the same." Since you can't shoot, don't waste your chance, you can try other methods, such as playing a pick-and-roll with your teammates, that's what you're best at, that's your sharpest weapon. Remember, a smart player must know how to hide his weaknesses and put his strongest weapons at the forefront! ”

……

In the second half of the game, the two sides once again changed the main lineup of the starters.

The Slovenian team changed their tactics, and Dragic made a block on the commander Rakovic in the first attack.

Rakovic was the most depressed player in the first half, and after only five minutes of play, he was forced to go down to rest because of two fouls, and he was also holding back the fire in his heart. In the second half, he seized the opportunity to attack the first offense, taking advantage of the gap that appeared in the switch after the pick-and-roll, and he successfully made a three-pointer.

As a Slovenian interior player, although it looks like that kind of power-type interior line, Rakovic still has the ability to shoot three-pointers, and nine times out of ten European interior players can shoot three-pointers, and Rakovic is no exception.

Under the command of Dragic, Nakba and Brezek also passed the change of defense after the block, and each scored two points. China, on the other hand, scored only a goal in these three attacks, and the difference between the two sides was narrowed to within two points.

Da Yao's footsteps still can't keep up with the frequency of blocking and dismantling, especially after Blazek also joined the dismantling, Da Yao is even more powerless in the face of the change of defense after blocking and dismantling. Deng Huade hesitated, but decided to replace Da Yao first, and at this time, how to deal with Slovenia's blocking and demolition tactics became a difficult problem in front of Deng Huade.
