Sure enough, as Lu Yu expected, at the beginning of the second quarter, Scola singled out Yi Jianlian and caused a foul, then made two free throws to open the scoring for Argentina in the second quarter. Then Ginobili hit a three-pointer, and some impatient
Guo Shiqiang received a technical foul after pushing Scola down.
At the critical moment, Yi Jianlian pulled to the outside and found an opening to hit a three-pointer. Then Wang Zhizhi also caused a foul on his opponent. Unfortunately, he only made one of the two free throws. Seeing that many young players were playing weakly, "Silver Fox" Harris had to replace him.
Lu Yu and Yao Ming had just rested for a few minutes.
The Chinese team must stabilize the situation.
Yao Ming pulled out a pick-and-roll with Lu Yu. This is one of the most difficult tactics for the Chinese men's basketball team to defend. It was also the trump card in defeating Spain before. Unexpectedly, it was already used in the second quarter of this game.
Ginobili quickly took a step back and stood in the passing path between Lu Yu and Yao Ming.
Lu Yu pretended to pass to Yao Ming, but suddenly he dribbled the ball from his hips and turned with his left hand, just one body away from Ginobili's left. For him, one body was enough.
He accelerated and passed by Ginobili. Ginobili had no choice but to give up his defense. Volkovski stood up straight and raised his hands high, while Oberto stood on the flank ready at any time.
Come over and block Lu Yu.
Lu Yu ignored their defense and rushed to Volkovski's side when he accelerated and suddenly changed direction. The speed was so fast that Volkovski didn't even react, and he easily stood up like a wooden stake.
Volkovsky passed.
At this time, the space left for Lu Yu was already very small. After passing, Lu Yu directly chose to go for a layup.
Oberto, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped up from one side and wanted to block Lu Yu's ball with great momentum. Lu Yu's right hand holding the ball did not make a move, but when Oberto was about to change it, he suddenly
He took it back from his waist and handed it to his left hand, and continued to glide, flying between Oberto and Volkovsky.
"Is Lu Yu trying to pull the lever?" Sun Yiping exclaimed.
Before he finished speaking, the fans in the audience suddenly exploded. Lu Yu pulled the lever with his left hand and flew to the other side of the basket. When his body was already falling, he twisted back and faced the basket with his body half sideways, and threw the ball with one hand.
Out, the basketball hit the board into the frame.
"Oh my god, how did he do that?"
"This is such a strong waist and abdominal strength."
"He is flying, look, he flew between two Argentinian players."
All the spectators were impressed by Lu Yumei's picturesque turnaround shot. It seems that there are not many players who can do this kind of action.
…
Li Nan finally hit another three-pointer from the bottom corner to even the score difference again. Sun Yiping sighed: "Li Nan's shooting finally started. I hope Xiao Li Feidao can continue to maintain his shooting percentage today."
…
With 1 minute and 22 seconds left in this quarter, an Argentine player fouled during the press and sent Yao Ming to the free throw line, but Yao Ming made one of two free throws.
Today, Yao Ming was out of form due to the opponent's foul tactics. Even his usually stable free throws were abnormal.
…
Ginobili's pass that ran through the entire court slipped out of bounds, and then the referee blew the whistle to end the half.
The Chinese team ended the first half with a three-point lead of 42-39.
Although the Chinese men's basketball team is still ahead of its opponents, it is obvious that the Chinese team will lose points without Yao Ming and Lu Yu on the court at the same time. Argentina has strong overall strength, especially the players on their bench, Scola.
Although his jump is not as high as that of Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian just can't defend. Yi Jianlian's biggest problem is his strong offense and weak defense. Argentina and players like Delfino are all good at grabbing points.
The most difficult thing is that Yao Ming is in foul trouble.
Lu Yu slowly walked back to the locker room. He knew that this game would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. Yao Ming's playing time will inevitably be reduced. Only two people on the court at the same time can bite the score. Once Yao Ming goes,
If the opponent double-teams you, it will be more difficult for other players to beat you.
Who are the players who influence the trend of the game?
Just look at which players on the field will enjoy the treatment of double-teaming...
Fortunately, the Argentinian players on the opposing team's defense are not strong either.
"Dazhi, in the second half when Yao Ming is not on the court, try to help me cover as much as possible. I have to try to break the attack..." Lu Yu said through gritted teeth.
"Are you sure?" Wang Zhizhi was stunned.
"OK." Lu Yu said.
In the second half, the Argentine team did not give up. The Chinese team had to suppress the opponent's counterattack. After the start, Yao Ming obviously strengthened his attack on the inside. He succeeded in making a shot off the board and gave the Chinese team the first score.
Then Zhu Fangyu also hit a three-pointer, extending the score to 8 points.
However, the Argentina team was not to be outdone. Ginobili immediately completed the alley-oop, and soon after Skokinha also broke through the inside and scored a layup, and the point difference was only 4 points.
Harris looked worriedly at the players on the court who were gritting their teeth and persisting. He knew that some players were no longer physically able to hold on.
He could only call a timeout, firstly to give the players some breathing time, and secondly to replace Yao Ming. Yao Ming had unknowingly received his third foul.
"Yao Ming rested, and it was time for Lu Yu to lead the team with one core. In the first half, Lu Yu led the team with one core for a while and faced the opponent's double-team defense. But fortunately, it was only two rounds at that time. This time it was obviously time
Chairman, I wonder if Lu Yu can hold on..." Sun Yiping said worriedly.
Lu Yu stood in the bottom corner, with Ginobili waiting in front of him, and Oberto not far away staring at him with aloofness.
"Fuck..." Lu Yu spat, suddenly started to speed up, rushed out from behind Oberto, and then shouted: "Give me the ball, make an empty cut."
Liu Wei immediately handed the ball to Lu Yu, and then made an air cut. However, the speed of the air cut was a little slow, and Lu Yu had to take back the ball that he originally wanted to pass.
Just a moment later, two more players stood in front of Lu Yu.
If someone comes to attack from a flank, someone will inevitably have an opening.
Harris frowned slightly and was relieved when he saw Lu Yu did not choose to pass the ball. Since the opponent dared to double-team, he would naturally have ways to deal with missed players.
It is easy for Lu Yu to hand the ball over, but it is difficult to get it back.
Wang Zhizhi's eyes twitched, and he quickly brought it up to help Zhu Fangyu make a screen. After Zhu Fangyu made an air cut, Wang Zhizhi moved a step higher and got stuck in Oberto's defensive position.
At this moment, Lu Yu moved. There was no extra feint, he simply accelerated and rushed out against Wang Zhizhi's back.
Covering the back of your teammate is the most important aspect of the pick-and-roll. Try to break through by covering the back of your teammate. The field of vision you can see at this time is completely different.
This is how it is in pick-and-roll situations, let alone when being double-teamed, Lu Yu could even smell the sweat on Wang Zhizhi's body.
Oberto was blocked behind him. Only Ginobili was in front of Lu Yu. Lu Yu suddenly changed direction and accelerated. Ginobili could only retreat, but Oberto came around from behind Wang Zhizhi and chased after Lu Yu.
.
The flanking attack became one defense and one pursuit, which made it much easier.
"Snapped!"
Lu Yu made a dribble change in front of his body, causing Ginobili to quickly shift his center of gravity, but he found that Lu Yu turned around at this time, passed between Ginobili and the chasing Oberto, and then shot
…
Ginobili and Oberto immediately pounced on it. Obviously it was a bit late at this time, but they should be able to interfere.
But……
Lu Yu didn’t vote?
He just feinted a shot, dazed two defensive players with a shooting fake, then took a step to the front left and pounced on them in the opposite direction and threw the ball with his left hand.
"It's so awesome. Lu Yu's series of fake moves are dazzling. The key is that Argentina's two defensive players were turned around by him. It is estimated that after two more rounds like this, Argentina will give up double-teaming Lu Yu."
Sun Yiping said with a smile: "Because... it's ineffective and it's a waste of the players' energy."
He was right. The biggest reliance of the Argentina team was that the players' physical strength was better than that of the Chinese team, so they cherished the players' physical strength. After seeing that the double attack on Lu Yu had no effect, they decisively chose to give up.
With Lu Yu's outstanding performance in this quarter and the double high pick-and-roll tactics between Yao Ming, Lu Yu and Wang Zhizhi after coming on the court in the last few minutes, the lead was maintained at 5 points.
The double-high pick-and-roll tactic also caused headaches for the Argentine team, and even their head coach commented that this tactic was one of the most unsolvable tactics in this Olympics so far.
At the last moment of the third quarter, Lu Yu hit a mid-range shot, and Argentina was 7 points behind 65 to 58.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Harris looked at Lu Yu worriedly. He didn't know whether Lu Yu's physical strength could hold up. From the beginning to now, Lu Yu had hardly rested due to Yao Ming's foul problem. He originally had a chance in the second quarter.
He was resting, but the substitute lineup was hit by another attack wave of more than ten points, so Lu Yu could only stay on the court.
Fortunately, Lu Yu didn't look abnormal.
But he and Yunus looked at each other and chose to let Lu Yu take a break. Although the two coaches still quarreled over differences in tactics, they always had surprisingly consistent opinions every time they encountered Lu Yu's matters.
Lu Yu rested, and Yao Ming led the team with one core.
But the problem lies in this!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Montechea deceived Wang Zhizhi into fouling and made one of two free throws. The Chinese team failed to score within two minutes. In the end, Zhu Fangyu broke the deadlock with a mid-range shot. As the opponent shrank its defense and flanked Yao Ming, the Chinese team got
He got a lot of opportunities to shoot three-pointers from the outside, but unfortunately the outside shooters had poor touch. In the end, Yao Ming first made an inside turn hook shot, and then a step-up layup to score 5 consecutive points.
The score difference was suddenly reduced to two points.
There are 7 minutes left in the game.
"Coach..." Lu Yu stood up.
Harris nodded and took advantage of the dead ball to apply for a substitution. The players who came on after the substitution were Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, and Lu Yu. This was the best lineup configuration for the double-high pick-and-roll tactic.
7 minutes, these are the last 7 minutes!
So far in this Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team has not given up on strategy in any game. This Chinese men's basketball team has a spirit of energy, that is, no matter how difficult the game is, even if it has no physical strength, it must continue to pursue it.
.
Lu Yu is like this now. When he hit the first three-pointer, he knew that the feeling was still there. This three-pointer also made the Chinese team seem to have found the confidence to win.
When Lu Yu made the second shot, Lu Yu glanced at Ginobili who was guarding him. There was a hint of danger in Ginobili's eyes.
The Chinese team is scoring, the Argentina team is also scoring, and Ginobili keeps attacking inside.
"Be careful!" Lu Yu shouted loudly, but it was a pity that he was a step too late.
"drop!"
The referee blew the foul whistle. This was Yao Ming's fifth foul and he was sent off.
Lu Yu saw a sly smile on Ginobili's lips.
"Damn it!"
Lu Yu was angry. He knew that this was part of the tactic. The tactic itself was a very dirty thing, so it was definitely allowed to use the rules within the scope of the rules. Besides, he had also used this trick. He couldn't just Xu Zhou
The official set the fire and forbade the people to light the lamps, but he was still very angry because if he kept going like this, he might be overturned.
Lu Yu quickly dribbled the ball past half-court, and with a quick change of direction, he passed Ginobili in front of him. Oberto quickly blocked it, taking long steps, trying to increase the defensive area.
Big, Lu Yu didn't look at him at all, and rushed over without slowing down. When he was in front of him, he suddenly thrust the ball under Oberto's crotch. Oberto obviously didn't react. When he did, Lu Yu
It had already rushed past him from the right.
Scola, who was guarding the basket, was obviously ill-prepared. He didn't expect Lu Yu to pass two defensive players so easily.
Lu Yu jumped up, jumped up as soon as he reached the free throw line, raised the ball high with one hand, ignored Scola's presence, and flew towards the basket.
In fact, Scola also forgot about defense at this time. Like all the stunned spectators on the court, he was stunned by Lu Yu's take-off from the free throw line.
Lu Yu was really flying. He pulled the ball behind his head, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and his head was almost level with the basket.
A little girl was eating cookies off the court. The cookie in her hand slipped and fell to the ground without knowing it. She just looked at the court stupidly.
"Boom!"
The whole audience could only hear the trembling sound of the basket.
"Oh my god, how did he do it?" Sun Yiping screamed, his originally slightly high-pitched voice now trembling slightly, "Lu Yu dunked the ball in and took off a step inside the free throw line.
, although the distance is not that far, but for a defender, especially a defender who has played a whole game, it is really difficult..."
After Lu Yu finished dunking, he realized that the distance of the jump was so far. He only thought about dunking the ball in, and didn't think about it at all. In the end, he even missed the hand grabbing the basket and almost fell off the basket.
Fortunately, Scola on the side helped him.
"Thank you!" Lu Yu said lightly.
Scola shook his head and said you're welcome. He couldn't help but feel that Ginobili was right. This Chinese player wearing the No. 10 jersey is really too strong.
If they hadn't prepared the tactics to cause Yao Ming to foul in advance and beat the dual-core Chinese team into a single-core team, Argentina would have lost long ago.
But at the last moment of the game, No. 10 still completely destroyed the morale of the Argentine team with a dunk. This chapter has been completed!
