Seeing that Victor Clough was guarding him, Lian Dao turned around and hit his butt, followed by a turn and hit a mid-range fadeaway jumper.
The mid-range fadeaway jump shot has now become Lian Dao's signature move.
Especially combined with his height and backward angle, he makes it difficult for opponents to guard against him.
The most important thing is that although he is much taller than Jordan, his elegance is not reduced at all.
Lian Dao has created many classic scoring methods, but some magazines and media still like to use his fadeaway jumper as a cover.
Mr. Zhang Lili couldn’t help but sigh when explaining:
"Lian Dao turned a confrontational sport into an art form!"
That's right, in the eyes of many fans, watching Lian Dao's fadeaway jumper is like appreciating a famous painting!
Kobe's jump shot is called "picturesque", and Jordan was that "picturesque" in the past.
Now there is one more person, Lian Dao!
Lian Dao had just scored a goal, and the Spanish team's insider Yin Baka returned the goal with a layup after receiving a pass from Sergio Youyin.
In a basketball game, individual strength still has a huge impact on a game, but the most feared thing is the surpassing of overall strength.
For example: Substitute lineup!
Speaking of the Spanish team's substitute lineup, it's really not much worse than the lineup.
Like the substitute lineup: Sergio Youyin, Juan Carlos Navarro, Victor Clough, Yin Baka...
Most of these substitute players have gone through NBA experience.
Yin Baka is the current power forward of the Thunder. Although Victor Clough has not yet gone to the NBA, he is also a quasi-NBA player.
At the end of this summer, he will also go to Portland to join the Trail Blazers.
It can be said that their substitute strength is much higher than that of the Chinese team.
In fact, China's main lineup is not bad, the only difference is in the substitute lineup.
In the past, in order not to let the opponent open up the score, the head coach had no choice but to beat the opponent hard and use the opponent's rotation.
But in the second half, the Chinese team was exhausted, but the opponents maintained plenty of energy.
Therefore, many times, we are taken away by the opponent in the third or fourth quarter.
At that time, if the Chinese team wanted to win against its opponents, it had to rely on "bloody fighting"!
The reason why we finished second in the previous World Championships was partly because our opponents were not particularly strong, especially because some countries and players did not pay much attention to the World Championships.
Many current NBA players have not returned, so the gap in the transition stage of substitutes is not obvious.
But when it comes to the Olympics, many countries attach great importance to this.
Some overseas NBA players will join their home country's national team as long as they are not injured.
Therefore, when there is a big gap in overall strength, the problem of the Chinese team's rotation period still exists.
This is also the main reason why Deng Huade replaced Lian Dao.
Deng Huade needs his output to hold down the opponent's substitute lineup and win rest time for the main lineup.
…
The Spanish team reacted very quickly. When Lian Dao had the ball again, the opponent stepped forward to double-team him without hesitation.
The Olympic venue is smaller than the NBA venue, so the opponent can assist and make up defense more quickly.
Faced with a double-team, Lian Dao did not give up his attack.
He first passed the ball back to Wang Shipeng, and then used Wang Zhizhi's off-ball pick-and-roll.
Lian Dao ran across the baseline to the short corner and then reached for the ball.
Wang Shipeng passed the ball over. After Lian Dao caught the ball, he immediately switched from facing the frame to backing up.
Before the opponent's double-team was formed, he pushed away Yin Baka, then turned around and broke through the basket for a backhand layup.
"Whoa!"
Double team?
He has experienced this phenomenon too much in the NBA.
As long as there are no double-teams of three or more people, he can easily handle them.
As for double-teaming with more than three people? Unless the opponent wants to give up the game.
With a wide open space, even if there is a dog on the basket, he can catch the ball and make a shot.
"It seems that the Spanish team's double-teaming did not put too much pressure on Xiaodao. Xiaodao still handles the ball very easily."
"I said before the game that Lian Dao will be the most difficult point for the Spanish team to deal with!"
Mr. Zhang Lili couldn't help but be excited when he saw that the Chinese men's basketball team was playing better and better.
During the commentary, he even revealed his predictions before the game.
Yu Jia looked at Zhang Lili's excited explanation and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Before the game, fans all over the world probably predicted this situation.
The Spanish team continued to attack, but their shooting guard Juan Carlos Navarro was interfered by Zhu Fangyu when he was going for a layup.
No hits.
Lian Dao collected the rebound and the Chinese team had a chance to open the score.
After Lian Dao saw the double-team defense built by the Spanish team, he still chose to distribute the ball and play without the ball.
Use screens, run back, use pick-and-rolls, and get rid of the defense.
Once again, after receiving the pass in the short corner, he directly chose to attack facing the frame.
Yin Baka had already experienced Lian Dao's power, so he did not relax in his defense against Lian Dao.
Unfortunately, sometimes it is not possible to defend your opponent simply by being loose.
Lian Dao's fight against Yin Baka was basically a misplaced singles match, with an absolute advantage in speed.
Holding the spherical frame, turn around and accelerate past Yin Baka.
Now only Felipe Reyes is left under the basket. If it were Gasol, Lian Dao might still have some scruples.
But Lian Dao still didn't take the little-known Reyes seriously.
He stopped suddenly under the basket, took off in the face of Reyes's cover, faced Reyes' block, and switched hands in the air for a layup.
Reyes was shocked, not expecting Lian Dao to change hands in the air.
At this time, it was impossible to take back the hand that blocked the shot, and it hit Lian Dao directly on his left hand.
"Whoa!"
"Beep!"
twenty one!
Hearing the whistle, Lian Dao pumped his fist excitedly.
He didn't originally intend to score this shot as a two-pointer, but instead committed a foul to score a three-pointer.
Two points is easy for Lian Dao, but who would dislike it if he could get an extra portion?
After Lian Dao's tough score of 2+1, he once again aroused cheers from the fans at the scene.
The most excited among them are the female fans who come to watch the game.
If a man is just handsome, he will only be appreciated by women. What if he is also tough?
The British female fans in the audience were a little restless.
At this moment, the air-conditioning in the arena couldn't suppress the heat in their hearts. Their mouths suddenly felt dry and they couldn't help but lick their lips.
At this moment, they were extremely eager to have a beautiful memory with Lian Dao.
Lian Dao stood on the free throw line and made a steady hit!
Juan was forced to call a timeout.
Although Juan had already anticipated Lian Dao's strength, he still underestimated Lian Dao's influence on a game.
In his opinion, this kind of player is really incomprehensible!
Those who are taller than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as tall as him. Coupled with Lian Dao's flexible scoring method, anyone who guards against him will suffer.
Fans in China who stayed up late to watch the live broadcast were also extremely excited.
At this moment, they seemed to have seen the video. In the videotape, they had the illusion of Jordan playing in an international game at his peak.
In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Jordan participated in the Olympics for the second time and led the powerful Dream Team to win the Olympic championship with an average of 438 points against their opponents per game.
And that dream team was more like a missionary, spreading the basketball culture that belonged to the NBA, and at the same time it also brought a huge shock to the world.
In that year, David Stern's NBA globalization truly achieved a historic breakthrough.
It was also that year that the NBA achieved world-renowned influence in the world of basketball!
Lian Dao's performance entering the second quarter gave them hope for the rise of Chinese basketball.
In the past, there was only one pioneer in Chinese basketball who held the torch, but now they have two.
And the growth of the other one is also like that of Michael Jordan in 1992, which shocked the world basketball world!
…
After the timeout, the Spanish team replaced Gasol on the court.
Felipe Reyes' ability to protect the rim at the basket is still not good.
If Lian Dao is allowed to break through, Spain's inside line will be broken into a sieve.
However, Juan did not replace Pau Gasol. With Yin Baka here, even if Pau Gasol was not replaced, Spain's strength would still not be reduced.
Gasol Yin Baka!
The purpose of Juan's inside combination was to limit Lian Dao's offensive space.
Especially in international arenas with smaller venues, this trick can really work if the cooperation is done properly.
Next, Spain's attack also confirmed the correctness of Juan's substitution.
After the timeout, Yin Baka first used a pick-and-roll to create shooting opportunities for his teammates.
Returning to the defensive end, Lian Dao made an emergency stop after breaking through but was interfered by Gasol and missed.
This was the first time Lian Dao failed to attack in the second quarter.
Between offense and defense, Yin Baka and Gasol showed their strength to the fullest.
This also caused bursts of cheers from the Spanish fans at the scene.
After suppressing it for so long, they are finally gaining momentum.
