In the last 5 minutes of the game, the two teams were still anxious about the score. The U.S. team’s defensive strategy against Serbia and Montenegro was to defend Milicic one-on-one. They would rather let Milicic score than allow Serbia and Montenegro’s outside three-pointer.
The shooters shoot away. Once Serbia and Montenegro open up a group of shooters on the outside, it will be a nightmare for any team.
Although Milicic has a relatively high success rate in attacking the inside of the US team alone, hitting the ball is not easy. It requires body contact, muscle collisions, and having to keep the ball in his hands from being broken. The United States
Although the team is guarding the inside with small forwards, they are not inferior to Milicic in terms of strength, and Milicic's physical strength is also greatly consumed.
The Serbian and Montenegro teams also have many problems on defense. The three forwards are all very skilled in controlling and distributing the ball, and they all have the ability to hit the basket. After a mismatch, the mid-range within the free throw line is still quite accurate.
The American team is using lateral space to make up for the lack of height.
I can't guard you, and it's not that easy for you to guard me.
Moreover, the U.S. team fielded almost a second team. Duncan and Iverson, the two core players inside and outside, were resting off the court. While Serbia and Montenegro’s ace player Bodilloga was also resting off the court, the other four main players were all still on the court.
superior.
Just like Tian Ji's horse racing, Brown used the second team to face the first team of Serbia and Montenegro, but the score was not even opened yet. The Dream Six team had not yet fully exerted its strength, and the strength of the Serbian and Montenegro teams was almost exhausted.
With 5 minutes left in the game, Larry Brown replaced Duncan, Stoudemire, and Iverson. The team's lineup was point guard Iverson, shooting guard Wade, small forward James, and Big Ten.
Forward Stoudemire, center Duncan.
The lineup of Serbia and Montenegro is point guard Bodilloga, shooting guard Vujanic, small forward Radmanovic, power forward Milicic, and center Krstic.
Serbia and Montenegro tried their best to protect Milicic and prevent him from facing off against Duncan. If Duncan came to guard Milicic, Milicic would have to pull down near the free throw line to provide support or choose a jumper himself. As for Bodiloga and
Iverson's matchup is a pair of rivals. Iverson's speed is something Bodiloga can't do, and Bodiloga's height of more than 20 centimeters is something Iverson can't overcome.
gap.
The score was 81 to 79, with Serbia and Montenegro leading by 2 points.
Iverson dribbled the ball when facing Bodilloga, but without any swaying movement, he rushed directly from the right side. Defense is inherently passive. No matter how accurate your prediction is, you will still move backward. How can you follow it?
If you leave space for others to break through, it will also give the opponent room to shoot. Therefore, it is very difficult to defend alone on the perimeter. The masters of steals can only steal one or two steals per game.
Bodilloga's defense relies more on the team, and he doesn't steal steals casually, which makes it easy to lose his position. Therefore, in the first step of Iverson's breakthrough, Bodilloga did not create too much difficulty for him, but
After Iverson broke through, he discovered that Bodiloga had deliberately sold the gap on his right side to lure Iverson in. As soon as Iverson broke in, Vjanic made up for it.
Diloga also followed up behind him, cutting off his passing route to the outside.
Iverson stopped the ball as soon as he saw it. James quickly ran to the three-point line to catch the ball. Iverson jumped up and passed the ball. James organized the attack again. Radmanovic, who was guarding him, came out more often, creating a zone defense.
At this moment, there was an opening, and James flicked the ball with his arms and passed it directly to Stoudemire inside. At this time, Stoudemire had not yet developed his soft mid-range shooting feel, nor had he learned it from Nash.
The first attack method after catching the ball.
Stoudemire adjusted after catching the ball. Before Milicic could come out to block him, Bodiloga had already come over to take the ball out of his hand. Stoudemire jumped up in a hurry and thought
Looking for opportunities to pass the ball in the air, although Stoudemire's jumping ability is good enough, he can jump to pass the ball, which is a taboo in basketball. After jumping up, he hurriedly passed to the outside again. Vujanic jumped up and passed the ball to the outside.
He held the ball in his arms.
The Serbian and Montenegrin team did not rush to play a fast break, but handed the ball back to Bodiloga to engage in positional warfare, and at the same time, they had to calculate the time carefully.
Facing Iverson's defense, Bodiloga didn't dare to push the ball too much. This little man was able to recover even if his gamble-style defense failed to steal the ball in the backcourt.
Bordillo lowered his center of gravity, blocking with one hand in front of him and moving with the other to avoid being attacked by Iverson. He now knew how powerful this ghost-like little man was.
The ball moved to the frontcourt, Milicic came out with a pick-and-roll, and after a pick-and-roll, Stoudemire was switched to defend Bodilloga. Bodilloga did not hit the ground after the traditional pick-and-roll, but threw the ball.
A little higher, Milicic stretched out his arm to catch the ball. Iverson was guarding him in front of him. Milicic glanced at the basket without any hesitation at the three-point line, shot steadily, and the ball drew a line.
He arced towards the basket and circled the basket twice. While Duncan and James were waiting to grab the rebound, Kostic had already jumped high and dunked the ball directly into the basket.
There are no rules for offensive interference in FIBA games. Although James and Duncan also know it, the habit of the game is just a habit. It is not that you can immediately integrate the rules into every cell in your body after reading the rules.
.Even that one second of hesitation will be infinitely magnified in major competitions.
After this goal, Serbia and Montenegro's lead has reached 4 points, and the time will soon be within 4 points. The members of the Dream Team 6 actually have such a feeling, could the Dream Team lose in this game?
At the Olympic Games. As soon as this idea came up, it sprouted and took root like a seed until it became unshakable.
The Dream Six team was led by Serbia and Montenegro several times throughout the game, but it never collapsed and was able to recover the score every time. It was based on this kind of confidence that I would be better than others, and it was based on the "Dream Team"
The essence of these three words "team" is that no matter what others say about the Dream Team's regression and inability to win many points per game, it has always been able to win, which is unmatched by European teams.
And at this moment, this center who looks inconspicuous in the NBA - Krstic, this guy is soft in confrontation, and he is always a layup guy even when no one is guarding him. This guy doesn't like internal confrontation and just floats outside.
The guy who made the shot actually dunked a basket over Duncan, the number one power forward in NBA history, and James, the once-in-a-decade genius.
The more a blow a small person like this gives you at a critical moment, the more psychologically unacceptable it is.
At this moment, Larry Brown couldn't sit still and quickly called a timeout.
I have just signed a contract, which can be regarded as the first step for this book. There are still many shortcomings in the first book, and everyone pointed them out one by one. I am very grateful here. I feel that it is hard for my brother to write, so I will recommend it.
, and it doesn’t cost money.
In addition, there are always a few regular trolls who troll me several times every day when they are free. I carefully read their comment records and found that they are always trolling everyone. I feel that it is not good to read books with such a mentality. I
It’s also tiring. Just like Kehei Zhanhei on the Internet, you don’t have to pay attention to someone you don’t like, but cursing people is a very unqualified thing. Making others uncomfortable will also make you lose your status. Isn’t that right?
At the same time, thank you to those who have paid attention to this work. The author here cannot guarantee how good the writing is, because it is up to you, but I can guarantee that I will never be frivolous and will update it to the end.
