Do you really think they are going to be doomed? Of course, in fact, after returning from the starting lineup, the American team's advantage is gone.
The biggest problem for the Chinese team is physical fitness.
Except for Tang Qian, Yi Jianlian has the best physical fitness, but he can't hold on for too long. It's absolutely impossible for the whole team. As for the rest of the people, they are in a mess, and there is no need to think too much. Therefore, the American team can always maintain
In terms of overall strength, the Chinese team can't. But Popovich just wasted a great opportunity because of his confidence or stubbornness. If he played with double insides from the beginning and then played from the outside, the situation would be much better. And the American team is so
On the other hand, he also played too few cover tactics and was too superstitious about personal abilities.
Now, the only big-tonnage Lopez 4 commits and can barely play, so good, the rest are real producers. Even the delay is impossible. An inside lineman of about 240 pounds, you
Can you imagine what it felt like to resist O'Neal at his peak? Or a single inside line? What's more, Tang Qian's strength and explosiveness are stronger than O'Neal at his peak. Therefore, after Lopez left, the American team did not rotate and grab points quickly, which were all mistakes.
He uses the fixed five up and five down too much and makes very few adjustments. This is all out of conceit and arrogance.
Due to Kemba Walker's tonnage issue, when he faced the Chinese team tonight, his effect was actually not as good as Smart's and the like. He was also too short. He formed a backcourt with the 185-meter Mitchell, which was equivalent to defending against air passes.
His ability to play the ball is completely wiped out. Mitchell is better, he has tonnage and a super wingspan. What about Kemba Walker? He is short, with a wingspan of only 192cm. Mitchell is not much taller, but his wingspan is
The height is close to 210CM! Touching the plateau also exceeds 246CM! This is a huge physical advantage!
Where's Walker? He's only about 230cm! This is a merciless blow!
Mitchell's height is 185cm, and his wingspan is much higher than the taller Curry, Westbrook, and Dinwiddie. Therefore, if he is shorter, the problem will not be that big. The coverage area on the left and right sides of the defense is very strong, and the air defense is also good.
Passed. When Walker came up, the Chinese team immediately changed to the same style as before, playing slower, point-to-point, and passing the ball at high altitude. Anyway, they just bullied you. Walker's air defense ability is almost non-existent.
It's a bit similar to the way many teams passed the ball against Ryota Miyagi in the comics back then.
Passing the ball immediately became much easier, at least the ball could go in more stably.
And our Popovich wants to save face and suffer the consequences. Instead of shrinking the inside more, he just wants to defend the Chinese team's three-pointers. This is really a bit stupid. It is as stupid as playing the French team in the original time and space. Stupid
Well, for the first time, everyone in the world began to realize, oh, it turns out that this old guy's level... is not as good as he boasted.
It's not as awesome as it's cracked up to be.
At the same time, using Tang Qian's super personal low-level destructive power and a large number of strong attacks, Turner is basically a paper man. He can't do basic delaying and blocking, and it won't work if he wants to buy time for his teammates to shrink. Unless you directly let go of a point,
Directly double-teaming without the ball is equivalent to giving the opponent a point to shoot an empty basket. Popovich is not willing at all, thinking that this will damage his mastery.
And if Tang Qian plays like this, his opponent will not be able to gain momentum at all. The success rate in the low position is too high. If he wants to push back, it will be too forceful. Besides, don't forget, there is no defense for three seconds here. There are a lot of people who can stand up. Turner
He couldn't be pulled out like Lopez, and the space suddenly became more crowded. Now that the Chinese team's starting lineup is back, the height has suddenly increased from the outside, the shortest one is 195cm, and their shooting is also easier to be interfered with.
In the critical third quarter, the American team's shooting suddenly wasn't very good, which was troublesome. If they wanted to attack, they could only attack the basket. Mid-range? Haha, in a league that has become fully magic ball, it is simply difficult for others to do so.
Because they themselves feel that they can't make these shots. Mid-range, now under the promotion of ESPN and Mo Fat Dog, has long become a method with low returns, low efficiency, and it is best not to use it. So, you see
These people almost never win if they don't make a shot, they just attack it without any brains.
Now it's better. If you play like this, for Tang Qian who doesn't have to defend for three seconds, it will be like a death squad one by one.
Although they have great momentum and good personal abilities, they are all just gifted boys.
I'm afraid Tang Qian's blocking data is too low.
Bang bang bang bang~~~
In a short period of time, 4 blocks nearly shut down everyone in the American team. The Chinese team used this time to slowly overtake the past. At this time, Popovich was also persuaded by Cole and had no choice but to
Don't do it. Otherwise, you will be fooled.
All the momentum was gone.
Cole's suggestion is that Tang Qian must be pulled out, otherwise he will be unable to fight if he is inside. As long as he can be pulled out, the opponent's defense will no longer be impregnable. With the offensive capabilities of the American team,
Even if the outside basket is lacking, it still has enough firepower. It sounds reasonable, but in practice, Popovich seems very weak.
Because Tang Qian is not stupid, doesn't he know that the American team wants to transfer him out? Everyone in the NBA team wants to.
The thing is, you have to be able to do it first.
Only if the threat is strong enough will he go out.
If Lopez is now in the 5th position, then he has to go out or switch defense, but the US team's 4th position also has three points. He has to go out, and switching defense will not have much effect. This is a method, but this method
, has been defeated by Popovich himself. Because their only 3-point shooting center of the American team, Lopez, has been beaten by Tang Qian for 4 fouls. In this case, it becomes the simplest method that cannot be used.
At a more advanced level, Lopez and the others used pick-and-rolls, which put Tang Qian in a dilemma and couldn't do it. After all, don't count on Turner and Plumlee. They didn't get any baskets. Absolutely.
Then the only option is to take the second approach.
Use the pick-and-roll method, use misplaced screen attacks, and use small hits to punish Tang Qian.
But Tang Qian had already been prepared for the latter method. He went out and deliberately missed a step, but did not go out to save the three-pointer. It even gave people the impression that you shoot, you shoot the three-pointer, and you make the three-pointer.
You are cruel. I admit defeat. Naturally, the American team also made a shot, but it really didn't go in. The feeling in front was not good and it was not fake. Therefore, there was nothing to do. Tang Qian did not need to use B after the opponent made the shot.
Plan. The American team, that's it, and the American team seemed to have run out of moves. They paused and didn't know how to attack effectively.
This is the famous American team. Why does it give people the feeling that the situation should be reversed?
Americans who watch football are also fans, and Chinese people who watch football are also fans.
When Tang Qian saw this, he once again lowered his confidence in the American team's strength. He suddenly thought that this team, even if they had never met the national team he led, would not be able to reach the end. The first half.
Because the hand feels pretty good, it's hard to beat. But once it doesn't work, it immediately becomes sluggish and I can't find any backhand.
Some people also say that these routines can be changed to mid-range shots. Wouldn't it be better if we didn't shoot three-pointers so far?
First, CIC’s efficiency is indeed not high and its returns are insufficient.
Secondly, this American team does not have a real mid-range master, and it is even more impossible to guarantee hits.
Third, the American team is used to the NBA's magic ball. The CIC itself is not trusted and is not at the forefront of offensive options.
The fourth is...Popovich has no arrangements to do this.
Because when playing against the French team, it was just like that. Popovich did nothing in this aspect, and his ability to adjust on the spot was simply incredible... bad. Therefore, when playing against the French team, the old thief Popovich didn’t adjust in the original time and space.
On the other hand, I'm sorry, but this place will not have the inertia of history. At this time, you can see that it is actually very fair.
It can be called impartial.
Perhaps, he is also accustomed to Tang Qian's historical distortion power, or it can no longer restrain Tang Qian's little butterfly.
And you can't get in, right? Others want to fight. The Chinese team has fully implemented it when playing against the American team. Unless it is to play less and more, otherwise it will resolutely reduce the rapid transition of offense and defense. That is to grind the position with you. The same time and space with the French team.
, coincidentally. Then, Tang Qian waited for the outside touch to come up, fed a few balls in a row, and a wave of three-pointers came, and the score difference went up to ten points.
Double digits! It’s the second half! This scene is probably something that no one expected.
The commentators on the scene were stunned, and even the Chinese team players who participated were stunned. They didn't know whether what they saw in front of them was real or fake.
Ke Lanbaike and Yan Yufeng both asked Yi Jianlian: "Lian, Brother Lian! Are we really, are we really, two digits ahead of the American team? Do we have a chance to beat them? Is this true?
?" How could Yi Jianlian not be surprised? He didn't expect that this man could really lead the national team to this point! If he beat the American team! That would be a groundbreaking event in the history of men's basketball.
! Because the American team has never lost to the Chinese team! I can’t even imagine that honor and meaning!
But he quickly suppressed his surprise and nodded: "Well, we are ahead, we have a chance."
…
Is it true that the American team will not be able to win? It will lose to the Chinese team??? As soon as this idea came out, the Americans themselves were afraid. The TV stations and the Internet were filled with countless American trolls, and they couldn't stand it.
!
Forget it if you lose to a European team! You get a slap in the face when you are relegated, and the lions also take a nap! But they lose to an Asian team!
This is absolutely not okay!
This is not downgrading and getting slapped, this is dimensionality reduction and getting a headshot from the opponent!
This is still bearable! Suddenly, the American team was at the forefront of the U.S. team’s software and forums.
At this time, when the ball is in the wind, there can be more tactical routines. Tang Qian has been playing for so long, and he has to change his tactics so that the opponent cannot catch the routine. He missed the target. What did he hit? Tang Qian started
In turn, you are making a fuss about the opposing center. Hey, don't you want to drag me out to fight? In the same way, I can return this routine to you.
This is called treating the other person in his own way.
Tang Qian, Yan Yufeng and Yi Jianlian played a beautiful coordination. Yan Yufeng held the ball, Tang Qian lifted up, and Yi Jianlian half lifted up. Spain picked and rolled. But after Yan Yufeng came in,
He directly turned back and passed it to Tang Qian. At this time, Tang Qian used a hand-to-hand screen. Yi Jianlian gave Tang Qian a ball-free screen, immediately pulled out, took the ball from Tang Qian's hand, and scored.
A three-pointer from the top of the arc. The basketball went straight into the basket without being defended. The American team was confused by this style of play.
The tactical literacy of this American team is so low that it is appalling.
That's not all. Not long after, it was the same position again, but this time it became Yi Jianlian's attraction. Yan Yufeng relied on Tang Qian's strict pick and roll to go around and hit a quick three-pointer.
Take action! This guy Turner can't save at all! His defensive problems are also a big reason why the American team was beaten by opponents this year!
Turner's three-pointer cannot be defended! Or, the awareness in this regard is not enough! Popovich does not adjust and continues to reuse him. It would be strange if he is not beaten angrily by the Chinese team. But you can't just
Blame it on Turner, he is considered an excellent space center in the NBA. He can actually shoot out, but first of all, he is not adapted to the FIBA game. Secondly, Popovich used him too much defensively tonight.
Tang Qian, so he was tired. In this way, the three-point shot he had just practiced was not accurate tonight. So tonight, he was very tired and exhausted. Look at this shot, which is a typical example.
Why can't he guard it? He can guard it in the NBA! That's because he has no idea how the Chinese team will play! Tang Qian's pick-and-roll is too terrible, he must be careful, but now he can shoot directly after the pick-and-roll
Three points! This immediately put him in a dilemma!
Of course, the most important thing is that the training time of the American team is too short, and they don't take the World Cup seriously. The offensive tacit understanding has not yet been formed, let alone the defensive tacit understanding. If he goes out, no one can help him.
The poor defense was also a huge reason for the U.S. team's failure this year.
So here, Popovich's adjustment ability is highlighted in an extremely awkward manner, with his offensive changes to no avail and his defense doing almost nothing.
This made Cole feel very sad.
I even doubt whether GDP really played a greater role in the past.
Either the two sides have achieved each other's success, or GDP has achieved Popovich's success.
The American team is starting to get anxious! This is really anxious. I no longer feel that everything is under control. How could we lose to the Chinese team? It can be seen from both offense and defense. The offensive end is covering, and North Carolina is black.
Eagle Barnes used the cover and moved too much! It almost caused a conflict with the Chinese team! Because of Tang Qian’s words, no one in the Chinese team was afraid tonight! Everyone is possessed by the soul of the senior "Zhu Qi Wang Ba"! They are not afraid of the court at all.
Conflict! The American team is just the opposite, and they don’t dare to conflict with the Chinese team. After all, first of all, there is a tyrant inside, and secondly, the Chinese team’s fighting ability in the field has never been bad. With Tang Qian, it is even more
Be brave. Then, don’t forget, this is China, and we are the hosts. If you offend the people here, will it be easier here?
There are more people than there are, and we, the Great Heavenly Kingdom, are never afraid of anyone.
On the defensive end, they were also in trouble with continuous fouls, and their mentality was a bit messed up. They were actually called off by Ke Lanbai, who committed a three-point foul.
Ke Lanbai had to make 3 free throws from the free throw line! Now Popovich finally couldn't sit still! His face was almost gloomy!
Tang Qian led the team, cheered loudly, and trash-talked his opponents:
You guys call this a dream team? Are you the worst dream team?
