Chapter 348 This is the strongest lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team!
Marbury and Stoudemire looked at each other.
They didn't know what happened, so they could only quickly ask reporters, and finally went backstage to call their agent to confirm.
Their agent probably just got the news.
In the end, they learned that the Bulls, Mavericks and Suns had reached a deal with three teams. The Suns gave away almost the entire team, acquiring Nash from the Mavericks and Lu Yu from the Bulls.
Marbury and Stoudemire were sent to the Bulls.
The Bulls received Wang Zhizhi, Finley and Anthony Walker.
The Suns also sent away a large number of add-on players and a large number of future draft picks. They were overdrafting their future just to acquire Lu Yu and achieve success for one season.
As for Nash, it is equivalent to them eating a steak and shamelessly asking for a dessert from the store.
Don't feel shortchanged.
For this transaction, the Bulls only sent Lu Yu, but received nearly seven future first-round picks, as well as players such as Wang Zhizhi, Finley and Walker.
It looked like the Mavericks were losing money.
Because they are equivalent to not getting any benefits.
In fact, except for Wang Zhizhi who was unwilling to send them out, Finley and Walker had already wanted to get rid of them. The contracts were huge and their strength was not at their peak.
They welcome quasi-All-Star players like Marbury and insiders like Stoudemire, who can better cooperate with Nowitzki.
Lu Yu just smiled and expected Lone Wolf to cooperate with the driver?
And he doesn't mind going to the Suns. What's more, although the Suns have sent out many players, one plus Nash is enough to form their offensive and defensive system.
Overall, the results, although unexpected, are pretty good.
When the Chinese media interviewed Chinese players, many reporters also focused on Lu Yu and Wang Zhizhi, because many sports media in the United States had discussed it and were surprised to find that besides Lu Yu, the other subject of this deal was Wang Zhizhi.
The Bulls attach great importance to Wang Zhizhi.
It can only be said that the Bulls are still unwilling to give up the Chinese market.
Only Wang Zhizhi knew that Lu Yu helped him.
When other players of the Chinese team were being interviewed, they found that the tone of Chinese reporters was very tactful. These reporters also knew that they did not have high hopes that the Chinese team could win the opponent. After all, they were facing American men who represented the highest level of world basketball.
basket.
But after all, this game was the first game for the Chinese men's basketball team to reach the quarterfinals. The domestic media still sent their best wishes to the Chinese men's basketball players.
Harris still did not participate in the interview, but went directly back to the locker room. After all the players arrived, he emphasized the tactics he just talked about in the morning again.
The game will start soon.
Su Qun is sitting on the sidelines. His interview task today is not heavy. He only needs to take some pictures of the Chinese team after they score. The rest is for him to cheer for the Chinese team.
Suddenly, he who was familiar with the Chinese team noticed something was wrong, because he saw Liu Wei sitting on the bench?
The starting lineup of the Chinese team has changed, with Lu Yu moving to the point guard position, Zhu Fangyu playing the scoring role, Yi Jianlian playing the small forward, Wang Zhizhi playing the forward position, and Yao Ming playing the center.
Can Zhu Fangyu keep up with the opponent's shooting guard?
This was the first question that came to Su Qun's mind when he saw this lineup, but when he thought about it, it seemed that no one on the Chinese team could keep up.
The U.S. team's lineup is: Stoudemire, Duncan, Shawn Marion, Iverson, Marbury
This American team is more like half of the Suns Team than the Dream Team.
It's just that Marbury and Stoudemire are no longer Suns players, and they don't look kindly at Lu Yu. After all, they added draft picks and many additions to get Lu Yu.
To them, this is an insult.
Marion is much friendlier. After all, he and Lu Yu will be teammates next season.
This American men's basketball team does not have a shooting guard in the traditional sense. To put it bluntly, there is no shooter. Although Iverson is nominally a shooting guard, he actually holds the ball longer than the point guard.
Lu Yu took a look at Marbury and Iverson standing aside. Put them together, can one ball be enough?
At the beginning of the game, the two sides jumped the ball. Yao Ming did not touch the basketball without any suspense. Stoudemire easily passed the ball to his former teammate Marbury.
Marbury dribbled the ball past half-court, and when he saw Lu Yu was guarding him, he couldn't help but frown. He knew very well how terrifying the player in front of him who dominated the NBA last season was.
After a simple change of direction in front of his body, he brought the ball to a 45-degree angle, then flicked it with one hand and handed the ball to Duncan inside.
The nominal core of the US team is still Duncan, although Duncan will be reduced to a blue-collar team for a large part of the time.
After Duncan received the ball, Wang Zhizhi just stayed close to him, while Yi Jianlian quickly let go of Marion and prepared to shrink the defense.
Larry Brown, the head coach of the U.S. team, had a very relaxed expression. He watched the video of the Chinese team's game. Although the Chinese team won the game through tactics, the personal strength of the players was not strong. From a one-on-one perspective, they could not defend at all.
Not a player on Team USA.
Duncan held the ball high to prevent it from being knocked away by his opponent under the attack. Then when Yi Jianlian shrank, he chose to pass the ball to the open Marion. Marion hesitated and did not shoot, and then passed the ball to Iverson.
Zhu Fangyu became a little nervous, knowing that Iverson was much faster than him.
"Let him rush, let him rush!" Zhu Fangyu muttered quickly, this is what Lu Yu taught him before the game.
Zhu Fangyu was surprised at first. Didn't it mean that the US team had no shooters and couldn't shoot accurately? Then they should prevent sudden shots?
Lu Yu just rolled his eyes at him, "To say they can't shoot accurately is just a relative term. Do you know how many of Iverson's 60 points in a game were shot?"
Sure enough, Iverson saw that Zhu Fangyu was so tall and still stuck so close to him. Without hesitation, he changed direction and directly shook off Zhu Fangyu's defense. He accelerated and rushed into the inside.
Su Qun, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked helpless: "Zhu Fangyu is still too young. How can he defend a breakthrough master like Iverson so tightly!"
Iverson rushed in very quickly, leaving only a shadow for Zhu Fangyu, who could only reluctantly follow behind him.
Iverson made a layup!
At this time, a shadowy figure appeared in front of Iverson. Iverson had no choice but to change his layup to a high throw. If it hadn't been changed to a high throw, the ball would have been blocked by Yao Ming.
.
Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian blocked Duncan and Stoudemire, and Yao Ming easily collected the rebound.
After collecting the rebound, he smiled at Iverson, showing his white teeth.
“Welcome to fiba!”
There are differences in the rules between nba and fiba.
The biggest difference, a rule that has benefited countless centers, and is also the rule that American players are most uncomfortable with is - fiba does not defend for three seconds.
Among all basketball leagues, only the NBA has created a unique three-second defensive rule. The reason is that there have been too many outstanding inside players in the NBA. If the three-second defensive rule is not restricted, it will lead to an imbalance on the court.
, a situation where excellent inside players are almost invincible.
The Fiba Basketball Association has not introduced the three-second defense rule, so in theory, the big center can always stand inside.
In other words, whether you are standing, lying down, or asleep in the restricted area, whatever you want...
The Chinese team directly put four players over 210cm on the court, directly turning basketball into a real big man's sport.
The most terrifying thing is that Lu Yu also played as a defender.
Lu Yu just wants the team to be one step ahead of the American team. Do you dare to go inside and try?
What?
Don't you want to go inside?
Didn't you see me coming to defend the perimeter?
In the broadcast room, Sun Yiping also praised Yao Ming's defense in the paint: "I don't know if Zhu Fangyu deliberately let Iverson in for this ball, but it is obvious that Iverson made a mistake in forcing the ball in front of Yao Ming.
I made a wrong choice at the right time. Today's starting lineup of the Chinese team is also different from the past. Zhu Fangyu, who originally played small forward, was adjusted to the shooting guard position. In this way, the overall height of the Chinese team has increased. They are only defending the opponent's breakthrough.
Sometimes you may not be able to keep up with the other party.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu had already dribbled the ball past half-court. Despite Marbury's constant interference, his speed was still very fast. His constant line changes made Marbury afraid to take action easily.
Lu Yu dribbled the ball to the left wing, opened his hand and hit a three-pointer, and the ball went in with a swoosh.
"Lu Yu made the first three-pointer of the game. No one expected that the Chinese men's basketball team would take the lead in this game. It can only be said that in this offensive and defensive round, the Chinese men's basketball team did better."
…
Marbury once again hoisted the ball inside. Duncan took the ball and before the Chinese team could form a flank attack, he turned around and hit the ball with a rebound, 3:2.
…
Lu Yu stretched out his hand to signal the screen. Wang Zhizhi mentioned a high pick-and-roll. Lu Yu accelerated and rushed behind Wang Zhizhi. The moment his body came into contact with Duncan, he stopped suddenly and pulled the ball back. The ball reached his left hand. With a flick of his left wrist, the ball went straight.
Flying towards the inside elbow area on the other side.
Stoudemire had been preparing to block Lu Yu, but Yao Ming unexpectedly took a step back and reached the elbow area.
When the person arrives, the ball arrives.
After Yao Ming received the pass, he raised his hand and shot a mid-range shot, which is basically the same as a free throw.
5:2
…
Marbury took a shot from outside the three-point line, and Lu Yu accidentally attacked him without noticing.
Whoosh!
The three-pointer hit the net.
The two sides tied at 5:5.
Lu Yu quickly signaled: "Blame me, blame me..."
When playing against the American men's basketball team, you really can't let down your guard. Everyone relies on basketball to make a living. Marbury has obviously seen that the Chinese team hopes to use Yao Ming's defensive power in the penalty area to affect the American team's offense, so
Expecting them not to see your defensive strategy is simply too much to hope for, it will only force them to fall into your defensive trap.
The Chinese team missed two goals in a row, but fortunately they strengthened their perimeter blockade. Under Lu Yu's high-pressure defense, Marbury still chose to break through, but after reaching the penalty area, it became even more difficult to make a move.
Yao Ming is a natural chasm under fiba's rules!
Many centers who were unknown in the NBA have become giants under FIBA rules.
To give an inappropriate example, Yao Ming may not yet have a dominant performance in the NBA. His dominance is far less powerful than O'Neal. However, under the FBA rules, Yao Ming is like a beast inside the Chinese team. By the same token, Spain
Gasol also played better than in the NBA.
Although their role is more reflected on the defensive end.
With Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi around, the Chinese team's penalty area is like a no-fly zone.
What's more, there is Yi Jianlian on the flank.
This is the strongest lineup of the Chinese men’s basketball team!
The U.S. team used Duncan and Stoudemire to go head-to-head in the paint and scored a few points. Taking advantage of the Chinese team's declining shooting percentage, the U.S. team took a 5-point lead.
Harris quickly called a timeout.
"Everyone has done a good job defensively during this period. We are not afraid of the opponent's inside scoring. Our inside strength is not weaker than our opponents. As long as we kill their outside, we will have a chance to win. Remember, stick to the rules set before the game.
Tactics, let them go outside and make the penalty area more crowded..." Harris spoke so fast that the translator had no time to translate, so Lu Yu could only take the tactical board over and explain it to everyone again.
What Harris said about forcing the American team to move in from the outside is the Chinese team's defensive strategy for this game.
Since defending three seconds benefits the center, it will definitely hinder players in some positions.
Among them, the ones who suffer the most are undoubtedly those guards who have strong breakthrough ability but average shooting, especially the guards of the US team. Their shooting ability is not that good compared to their breakthrough ability in the NBA. They are used to breaking through to the basket.
, but in fiba they always have to face interference from the opponent's center, so their shooting percentage will also drop a lot compared to the league.
Under the rules of fiba, shooting and passing are more tested, but breakthroughs become less important.
What the Chinese team has to do is let them break through!
Players from both sides take the field again.
Sun Yiping said worriedly: "The current situation is not good for the Chinese team. Several attacks by the Chinese men's basketball team ended in failure. Of course, we cannot expect to score every goal. Facing an opponent like the US team, we are left with
We don’t have many chances to make mistakes... After coming on the court, Lu Yu passed the ball directly to Wang Zhizhi who cut out with the help of Zhu Fangyu’s screen. Iverson did not choose to switch defense. Wang Zhizhi took an open shot and hit a three-pointer. This was a very critical shot.
The three-pointer gave the Chinese team some breathing time... We must pay attention to the speed of the opponent's offensive and defensive transitions. Iverson's advancement speed is really too fast..."
While Iverson was talking, Iverson had already scored two points with a layup. At this time, Yao Ming had not even reached half court.
Lu Yu shook his head. Positional offense can still be solved by relying on rules, but if the opponent is really allowed to switch between offense and defense, he can only hope that everyone can return to defense as soon as possible and not give the opponent a chance to switch.
Fortunately, this U.S. men's basketball team doesn't have much control over the ball, and the transition game isn't that fast, and Iverson can't run that many times on two legs.
In addition, the insiders brought by the United States cannot run so fast. Even if they run fast, the two defenders may not be able to pass the ball.
The inside players brought by the US team this time are Stoudemire, Duncan, Boozer, Odom, Okafor...
Apart from the immature Okafor, the only serious center is Stoudemire, but this center's playing style is too rough.
This resulted in a situation where the American team had no dominance on the inside, no shooting percentage on the outside, and stumbled all the way to the quarterfinals.
The strategy set by Lu Yu and Harris is to fight for position! Make full use of fiba's rules!
