Chapter 497 The Chinese team's NBA combination
This set of tactics is also the most commonly used tactics for Chinese teams in training. Before, because the players' running position was slow, the effect was very average, but Tang Shuai's appearance completely changed this point. His off-ball running position is perfect now. After receiving the ball, he was an open opportunity, so he raised his hand and threw it out.
The Novak three-subcontract was activated.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai scored the first three-pointer in the game, and also scored his seventh point after he came on the court, making it perfect!
The cheers of the fans at the scene surged, and the atmosphere in the entire stadium was indescribable. As the game was played, there was no difference between home and away games.
Coach K pressed his head with the tactical board, and then called for a timeout.
As a top coach, his judgment on the situation on the court is not inferior to the famous coach of the NBA at all, which is why he was able to take charge of the US team for 12 years.
"Brother Tang, you are so awesome!"
"Shistor Tang, you're doing a pretty job!"
...
After the game, Tang Shuai was cheered by his teammates in heroic manner. When the team was almost defeated, Tang Shuai's appearance was undoubtedly a huge force, which pulled the team back directly from the edge of the cliff.
It is no exaggeration to describe the changes that Tang Shuai brings to the Chinese team by changing a team by one person.
After the timeout, both sides made adjustments to the lineup. Leonard, Cousins, Love, and Butler appeared one after another, and all but Irving were replaced by him.
There are two main reasons why the US team has been able to dominate the world basketball world: first, the main strength group; second, the substitute strength group is the same.
Facing the five NBA superstar-level lineups, you are often able to hold on to the score, but the players who are rotated are also players with the strength of top NBA stars. If you want to fight again, you will not be able to do it at all. Your players cannot have the energy to play the whole game, and there are only a few players with strength in your team.
The Chinese team also made player adjustments, replacing Zhou Peng and Yi Jianlian with Li Gen and Zou Yuchen.
Cousins asked for the offense at the low post, and Irving followed up with the ball.
Cousins beat Zou Yuchen with his back, and his strength was completely crushed. He turned around and scored with a goal when he reached the inside.
After scoring, Cousins seemed very excited and patted his chest and shouted loudly at the audience.
He had enough reason to be excited. This was his first point since joining the national team. The last game against Argentina was anxious and he sat off the court.
For the Chinese team's offense, Tang Shuai advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. This time he did not rush to attack, but instead held the ball to observe the US team's defense at the top of the arc.
Although the substitute is not much weaker, some differences can still be seen.
Although the US team is full of stars, the training time is relatively short. When coach Lao K usually trains, he is definitely more targeting, and there are relatively fewer substitutes. The defense he puts on after the substitute comes up is not of the same level.
When Tang Shuai saw that he had the opportunity, he made a tactical gesture to Zhou Qi, and then signaled Zou Yuchen to come out to pick-and-roll.
With a pick-and-roll, Tang Shuai directly faced Love.
Love is a typical player with strong offense and weak defense. Tang Shuai will pass by just one rhythm change.
However, Cousins at the basket obviously knew this, and rushed towards Tang Shuai with a fierce expression.
Cousins is a player with a bit nervous fighting spirit. He always wanted to go on the court to limit Tang Shuai. How could he miss the opportunity when he saw it now!
Chance!
Tang Shuai suddenly threw the ball into the sky, and Zhou Qi, who was ambushing at the bottom line, jumped up.
Cousins saved very fiercely. When he realized that this was a trap, it was too late. Zhou Qi jumped high and grabbed the ball and then got a straight up and down empty catch.
"Bang!"
Zhou Qi pressed the ball into the basket hard, completely venting the accumulated emotions.
"Fuck! The Chinese team completed an all-over catch on the head of the American team! What is that guy DeMarcus (referring to Cousins) doing!" Barkley was shocked by this scene on the sidelines. Not to mention the Chinese team, even Spain, whose strength is closest to the United States, rarely try this kind of ball in the game.
The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and the ball was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.
"Dang played so smartly. He seemed to be able to find out the weaknesses of the US team's lineup." After Barkley returned to God, he continued to sigh.
From Jordan to George to Cousins, Paul taught Tang Shuai the habit of observing the game gradually revealed its power. This invisible wealth seems to accompany him throughout his career.
11 to 26, the Chinese team's score behind reached 15 points.
Cousins was very annoyed. He didn't expect that Tang Shuai would play tricks on him like this, and it was an aerial catch, which he absolutely could not tolerate.
When he arrived at the frontcourt, he suddenly leaned against Zou Yuchen with his body, and then continued to ask for the ball from Irving.
Zou Yuchen is a young insider of the Ba team. He is very talented and hardworking enough. Although he is more than two levels weaker than Cousins in terms of strength, he gritted his teeth and held back Cousins at this moment, which really worked.
Cousins has skills, but his temper is very straight. At this moment, Zou Yuchen pushed him with all his might. He could score a layup with just a slight turn, but he didn't do that.
A young player I've never heard of, or even participated in international competitions, actually wanted to stop him, which was obviously unacceptable.
He didn't turn around, but he just relied on pure strength to hit Zou Yuchen, and then fought hard step by step.
After all, Zou Yuchen's physical strength was different, so he was quickly squeezed into the inside line. Cousins turned over and wanted to lock him up.
This annoyed Zou Yuchen. I can't help but you, you don't bully people like this! His all his strength was applied to his chest and directly pressed on Cousins, and he was determined not to let you dunk.
Although Zou Yuchen's strength is not as strong as Cousins, he is still a big man with a height of more than 200 pounds. As soon as he pressed up, Cousins directly lost the possibility of dunking, and the basket fell directly on Zou Yuchen's straightened hand.
Zhou Qi was quick-witted at the basket and grabbed the ball that was bounced out in one go.
Tang Shuai followed and ran out.
After all, Zhou Qi is a big man who is over 2.10 meters tall and has a very good view of passing the ball. After seeing Tang Shuai, he followed him with a long throw.
Shuai Tang received the ball and rushed down the US team's basket.
At this time, Jimmy Butler is the one who guards him, the Bulls star who once locked up Tang Shuai in the regular season.
However, coach K said it well, the team's strength will change, and the players' strength is the same. After being baptized by the playoffs, Tang Shuai is definitely much stronger now than he was when he played against the Bulls in the regular season. Facing Butler again, he changed directions continuously during his journey to create opportunities for himself to make breakthroughs.
When he arrived within the three-point line of the United States, he suddenly reduced the price as Butler, and then suddenly increased the strength with all his strength, passing through Butler like a flash of lightning, jumping up and then drifting shot.
With a "bang", the basketball hit the rebound under the action of increased inertia, and then rebounded into the basket.
After Tang Shuai added with all his strength, he experienced the feeling of playing ball in Iverson. He felt quite refreshed, but his body still couldn't control this level and rushed directly to the basketball stand. Fortunately, he was prepared and buffered his hands with one cushion before he stopped.
However, when he turned around and saw that the scoreboard had already added points, he waved his fist excitedly and shouted.
It's so cool, this kind of wind-like degree is really cool!
The cheers of the audience were overwhelming. On this familiar field in Los Angeles, they finally saw the familiar Shuai Tang again, and their opponent was the powerful American team.
"DeMarcus is really too impulsive. The lineup on the court should allow Kawhi to play more. The Chinese team's defense is a big problem, but this kind of hard play will definitely not work." Smith couldn't help but speak at this time. After Tang Shuai won these two points, the Chinese team chased the points continuously, and had already chased the gap to 13 points.
"Haha, Kenny, you're panicked. I said that Tang is a player who can create miracles. Now this rookie named Zhou Qi seems to have great potential. It seems that I'm finally going to win a bet." Barkley said with a laugh.
"It's still early, you see, coach K can't stand it anymore." Smith said and looked at the field.
Coach K couldn't bear it anymore, so he reached out to Drummond, who went directly to replace Cousins.
Cousins has never been selected for the national team, and this bad temper is obviously the main reason.
After Drummond came on the court, the US team's offense was obviously smoother. He is a typical functional defensive player with a large area on the defensive end and a good pick-and-roll on the offensive end.
As soon as he came up, he made a pick-and-roll for Leonard, and Leonard broke through and pressed Li Gen to score a layup.
Li Gen is much different from Leonard in terms of height, and the interference from reaching his hands is almost at the position of his mouth.
On the defensive end, Drummond and Leonard, plus Butler's combination, the three defensive players directly cut off the cooperation between Tang Shuai and his teammates.
Tang Shuai jumped out of the basket in the end when facing Butler's forced pull, and Drummond grabbed the rebound.
Looking back, Love received Leonard from the outside and made a three-pointer, which directly stopped the Chinese team.
31-13, after Cousins left the game, the US team expanded the score to 18 points again.
When Tang Shuai was out, he looked at the scoreboard. The US team is really too strong. Now this young national team is very difficult to take advantage of.
"Haha, Charles, it seems that you can't take off your hat that you will lose every bet. The Chinese team played a good goal for a few minutes, but they were facing the American team led by Lao K, and they had no chance." Looking at the score that was pulled apart again, Smith couldn't help but say proudly.
Barkley chose to remain silent at this time. His eyes were staring at the Chinese team's halftime. Looking at Tang Shuai who was listening carefully to Gong Luming's tactical deployment, whether he could throw away this hat depends on Tang Shuai's performance.
Chapter completed!
