Tang Qian is not just talking trash, he really feels that this team, the American team, is not worthy of being called the Dream Team. Because of the overall strength and the training of the coaching team, it is not at the same level as after 2008. You
If you want to say that their lineup is too rubbish? It's not as good as the previous team, that's fine. But if you want to say that their lineup in the World Cup is too rubbish, that's bullshit.
Ordinary teams are secretly happy to have a substitute who plays in the NBA. Anyone who has played in the NBA is a treasure.
You, like the Australian team, are a typical example.
What about the U.S. team itself? If nothing else, there are two in terms of star power, Kemba Walker, Mitchell, quasi-All-Star, Barnes, Jaylen Brown, whose strength has improved by leaps and bounds this summer, and Towers, who is also about to explode in scoring.
Thum. He also has excellent inside shooting ability. Turner and Lopez are both centers who can shoot three-pointers. Veteran former All-Star Millsap, defensive first-team Smart, etc. Physical tonnage, athletic ability, personal ability
, who is not top-notch in the international arena? It’s just that Popovich’s training is terrible.
When Old K was here, the training time and the ability to face international competitions for many years have all come out. In this regard, Popovich is simply a "baby" and a "sweet potato". Hmm? That's not right.
He has coached the American national team several times. At least he is at the level of chief assistant coach. Unfortunately, you know, the results are very disappointing. Are you not convinced? Do you want to take the lead in person? The result can only prove... that he is even more capable.
"water".
As for himself, he overestimated his own abilities, so this year, he suddenly became an old thief whose reputation is greater than his strength.
Therefore, this team has not really shown its due strength at all.
Even if you look back at the history of the American national team, you will find that Popovich not only does not have the aura of the most powerful coach in history. He is also... the veritable number one star of the American national team! There is no way, actually.
I don’t want to, but it’s true. Those two results were terrible. And the worst results in history were also born under his hands. What can you say once or twice? As the old saying goes, nothing matters more.
Therefore, if you have to keep talking and don't face the actual results at this time, then you really need to see a doctor.
After all, I don’t produce black material, I’m just a carrier of big facts.
It's ridiculous that before the big thunder exploded later, there were still a lot of people who believed that Popovich was invincible on the court and could kill the Zen Master in an instant.
The reality is...a slap in the face.
It is a pity that Popovich will lose. For now, that is the case. Facts speak louder than words. He is the number one star of the American basketball team. Now that the number one star is there, the Chinese team has no chance.
Here it comes. Tang Qian never thought that someone would coach this American team so badly that he would not even need to use many of the things he had prepared.
After all, it is a team composed of excellent NBA players. Even if it is not the top, the lineup is not as bad as some "boobs" say. Otherwise, you have a team with all NBA players from top to bottom.
It’s not like there are no star players. Functional players are also very complete. With the game like this, if you only need a few NBA players from other teams, or even none at all, what do you think?
If you lose, you lose. You are the biggest favorite and the best card. If you lose, you are the coach, so you cannot escape the involvement.
Moreover, this performance did not bring out the true ability of this team at all. Otherwise, Tang Qian didn't think it would be so easy. If he had known earlier, why would he have prepared so early? Wouldn't it be nice to go to bed early?
With such a big lead, Tang Qian also cheered the players, saying that the American team was no longer good, and it was time to make history! We are the people who made history! Then he said that the American team would definitely counterattack in the end! They won't
Even if you allow yourself to lose to an Asian team, you still can’t take it lightly! After all, it’s still the American team!
Sure enough, as soon as they came up, the American team began to explode. It was not a tactical explosion or any special targeting, just one point. Their star exploded.
This is also the most troublesome point for the American team. Kemba Walker suddenly made consecutive steals on the defensive end and counterattacked. At the same time, Mitchell took the pot and hit consecutive three-pointers! Suddenly the score difference narrowed again.
This is the explosion of personal ability of the American team, and it is also the biggest characteristic of NBA stars!
Personal ability can even change the direction of the war on its own.
Seeing that he was about to panic again, Tang Qian immediately spoke up and said, "Why are you panicking! Give me the ball and you just keep shooting well!"
Turner is going crazy. This tyrant is too explosive. He seems to be much better than last season! What a slap in the face! The coach doesn't give a lot of contraction tactics. It's just me and Millsap.
, how to play? I can't stand it, and neither can Millsap. Besides, the latter is old and his athletic ability has declined seriously. If you want to replace him as a human shield, with his height, 201CM, he can't interfere with the barefoot 216CM at all.
Tang Qian has a good arm span? How good can it be? 217CM? Ridiculous, brother, 236CM, did you say anything? He is 20CM shorter than me. He is faster than me. He is a weird one with short hands! He is also rubbish in reaching height while standing. He is blinding his arms in vain.
My shoulders are too short, my standing reach is only 268cm, which is only at the level of Kobe Jordan. They are guards. Besides, I am 297cm, are you proud? Can you touch my elbow, brother?
As for the tonnage, 117 kilograms is really good, 257 pounds. Unfortunately, it is closer to 150 kilograms, more than 325 pounds.
Strength is not on the same line. Of course, you don't need strength at all to hit him. You have to hit him high and high. The opponent is now seriously aged and his bullet speed is not enough. He is caught by Tang Qian and hits him accurately! Fighting like this is the role of a human shield.
It's completely gone. It's better to have Turner come in and support the opponent. At least he still has a defensive role in high-flying. If Millsap is replaced, he just needs to be beaten.
After Tang Qian stabilized the situation, Cole finally couldn't help it anymore and began to persuade Popovich:
You'd better shrink a little more, otherwise, this guy can really do anything!
Yes, let Tang Qian perform, but Cole was fucked in both the regular season and the playoffs. He will never forget it in his life.
Although Popovich didn't want to change, when he saw this situation, he could only nod his head, and this nod was done! Tang Qian began to use his ability to continuously hit the ball outside. All of a sudden, a three-pointer from the outside,
It was all open. The touch was not good in the first half, but it finally picked up in the second half. Continuous three-pointers started to hit, and the American team's superstar ball just broke out, and it suddenly lost its meaning.
The score difference returned to double digits again.
Now Popovich was annoyed and started to blame Cole. Look, if you hadn't stepped in here, we would have let them suddenly score so many three-pointers? What are you doing!
I won't just watch from the side! Look at how I operate! Don't give me blind ideas! But Cole... is wronged! Because he feels that instead of betting on Tang Qian's inside shooting percentage declining, it is better to bet on the Chinese team
The outside line is not accurate. It was also like this in the first half to make the game inextricable. Moreover, if this aspect is not done well, then continue to adjust! What are you doing? Are you learning from Zen masters? This is not the case now.
It’s time!
"Then why don't we shrink the pass and receive inside and see the effect, or use a fake shrink and immediately pounce outside to have an interference effect. I have carefully observed the players on the opposite side. As long as the defensive pressure is in place, we will immediately
The shooting percentage will drop. Their shooting resistance to interference is not good." As soon as Cole finished speaking, Popovich became a little impatient, waved his hand and said: "It's not necessary, we are only 10 points behind. I believe in the players.
They can do it. They are all NBA players and they are not so easy to fall. When playing against the wind, we are much better than our opponents."
However, it’s a fart!
These players of the American team are about to cry. No, we really can't do it. Coach, please adjust it, okay?
It's a pity that Popovich lacks the GDP combination, so the success rate in terms of tactics is not high. Then the World Cup is high-key, and the basic adjustment ability is 18 blocks away from the old K. You are still imitating others' five-on-five
Where's the next one? Are you kidding me?
Now that the coach is not taking care of things, these American team players have also become ruthless. Tatum and Jaylen Brown will evolve into very strong players next season. And this evolution is definitely not something that can only happen in the new season. In the summer, they have already begun to transform.
So when the Chinese team's focus was on the opponent's Kemba Walker and Mitchell, these two began to show off their power. They suddenly stood up and fired continuously on offense and defense.
Although it is all based on personal ability, but it is powerful, what should you do, right?
Can't help it!
Tang Qian could see that these people tried their best, but there was a gap in physical ability. These Americans didn't want to lose to the Asian team, and they were a little bit aggressive. They played extremely fiercely during this period, and their steal rate was very high.
The interference is great, even if it is a backcourt cover, it will suddenly start to attack on the line. This problem has never been solved for the national team.
The double attack on the line is an old problem left over from history, and it is still the American team, so all of a sudden, the outside line is a bit unbearable.
There were too many mistakes and the ball was not coming in very well. Then Tang Qiankong had a lot of force and was unable to use it.
Seeing that the situation was about to be brought back, Popovich looked at Cole and said: "Look, don't worry, we are the American team and will not lose to an Asian team. We have to believe in our players." But Popovich
Povich had not been proud for long when Tang Qian immediately deployed a "killing technique" during the timeout. This is also the biggest problem that has arisen since he studied this year's American team, including the America's Cup. This problem,
It was also the French team in the original time and space that gave the American team a fatal blow.
That is, block out the American team's strongest and most invincible individual superstar performance.
How to do it? Tang Qian ignored the coaching staff, took the tactical pen, and quickly swiped on the tactical board and said: "You can see it all clearly! Play this later! Play this defense! 221 zone defense for the whole game!!! Listen clearly.
Have you? Just look at what we practiced before, now! Take it out and kill the American guy in one go! Let them know that FIBA is not so easy to fight!"
"Wait, wait! Tang Qian, you are kidding if you ask our players to play a full-court 221 zone defense! That is the American team! If we play a full-court zone defense like this, we are seeking death!!! I don't agree with this!"
At that time, someone from Li Nan's coaching staff stood up and objected, but Tang Qian didn't care at all. He turned his face and said: "Why else would we fight? Tell me something new? Apart from diamond defensive routines, what else can you say?"
Are the flowers coming out?"
"I..." This man was speechless, because he felt happy to fight, but he had no way to contribute at all.
Otherwise, he would not be in the coaching staff and would have no sense of presence.
"Do it all! The practice during these periods is just for now! It was not used before, but it is also for now! This seems to be a very ordinary full-court zone defense, but, believe me, it will work against the American team, especially this American team!
It works wonders!”
…
"Director Zhang, this superstar ball is still very strong. The American team's personal ability has exploded and it is difficult to resist."
"Yes, this is a consistent feature of the American team. They have played this way from the beginning. But this year they are particularly dependent on this aspect. This year's American team's tactical system is very poor, and it is not like Popovich's style at all."
I was also deceived by Popovich's reputation over the years. I really thought it was the players' fault. In fact, it was Popovich who lost his GDP combination and was at this level.
That’s it!
The star of the American men's basketball team is just a jerk.
"Let's see what adjustments the Chinese team will make. This period of defense is very important." As soon as Yang Yi finished speaking, he was stunned because although he had never touched the ball, after all, he had been a professional commentator for so many years.
After writing basketball articles for so many years, he naturally recognized what formation this was. Suddenly, he didn't know what to say.
"2-2-1 full-court zone defense. The Chinese team actually implemented a 2-2-1 full-court zone defense? This..." The following words, Yang Yi didn't say, that is, can this work? This is
In the FIBA arena, a full-court zone defense tactic is now very common. But if you don't watch FIBA games very much, you may have never seen it. Because in the NBA, there is no such thing as three-second defense, and you can't do it almost.
It has no effect. So, it can be said that these American team players have never played FIBA before. Therefore, in a word, they are like country bumpkins who come to the city and have never seen them before.
At first, the French team used this to make the American team's superstar ball unable to play, and then the following teams followed the same example and continued to beat the United States violently. Tang Qian's current approach is exactly the same.
All of a sudden, you will find that these NBA players are actually... stunned.
You look at me and I don't know what I'm doing.
What kind of formation is this? Can it be so defensive? What is this? Everyone doesn’t understand. Popovich is too conceited and doesn’t think it through at all. So, a scene that everyone can’t believe happened. The American team
, I didn’t know how to break this defensive lineup. I was completely confused, so I dribbled the ball to the strongest defensive area.
At this time, the Chinese team had to defend several times in a row! Everyone was surprised, because this is actually a relatively common full-court zone defense in FIBA and CBA. It seemed like they had never seen it before.
Plunge directly into the strong area? No brainer? This American team? Haha, of course not, it’s just the first time, and the coaching staff has not specifically analyzed and targeted it. It’s naturally like this, and I don’t know how to play best.
good.
Immediately, these national players all understood, and there was a hint of admiration for Tang Qian in their eyes. At the same time, when they looked at the American Dream Team opposite, there was also a hint of... fanaticism!
Since you don't understand at all, then, I'm sorry, but tonight we CBA players are here to teach you a lesson.
BA players taking classes? Haha, it’s really something that I couldn’t even imagine before.
It feels great from head to toe.
Especially when the opponent broke through the first line of defense, and immediately the second line came, and they didn't know that the main attack point of the 221 full-court zone defense was not the frontcourt or the backcourt! Instead, it was near the center line! This
Damn, this is not possible in the NBA, so both Kemba Walker and Mitchell were stupid. They made frequent mistakes near the midline, or they managed to protect the ball, but had difficulty releasing the ball and were forced to stop by their opponents.
!
We forced the American dream team players to stop? This is simply... so cool, isn't it?
The Chinese team players, who were full of energy, seemed to have recovered a lot of their physical fitness all of a sudden. They just wanted to teach the dream team "a lesson" to the point of death.
This made both Popovich and Kerr a little overwhelmed. The 221 full-court zone defense was something that the American team had not encountered before. Although it was a zone defense that became popular later, it has gotten better over the years.
, at least since 2010, it has gradually become popular. In other words, the American team has played at least several times. And won the championship easily, and there is no feeling at all.
Therefore, Popovich and Cole subconsciously did not regard breaking the zone defense as the same thing.
This is empiricism, which makes people paralyzed.
Of course they don't know that the previous dream team can be ignored because their players are strong enough! They can break through!
Look at those people, the 2012 lineup: If nothing else, Kobe, James, Wade, Anthony, Durant, Howard, Paul, Bosh, Westbrook, Love, Griffin, Iguodala...
...With these, do you think you can ignore the 221 zone defense as nothing? Dream Eleven 2014: Curry, Thompson, Harden and Irving, who is not the best in breakthrough and ball control? There are also Davis Cousins and the like inside.
Dream Twelve In 2016, Durant, Irving, George, Anthony Thompson, Cousins, Green, Butler... are still giants with invincible personal abilities and super outside guidance ability. There is no shortage of ball handlers, Irving and Lowry.
He is a master at advancing with the ball.
With these people here, they can naturally ignore the 221 full-court defense. It doesn't matter whether they know them or not, they will be defeated with one slap anyway.
But this time, they don't have such a person. There is not a real unsolvable point. Not even a master who can stably break the defense from the backcourt. Their outside shooting ability is also much worse than before. In addition, Popovich's
Their ability is far inferior to that of old K. Naturally, all added up, it has become the current situation. This group of people cannot cope with the 221 full-court defense put up by the Chinese team.
I finally rushed through. Sorry, there is Tang Qian standing inside.
You can only break through two levels and directly face Tang Qian's defense. Unless you rush so far and break through two lines of defense, you can also come over and make an emergency three-pointer to maintain your hit rate. If this is the case, they will
It’s not Kemba Walker and Mitchell. It’s the Splash Brothers and the Tsunami Brothers. In fact, both Kemba Walker and Mitchell shot three-pointers very well in the World Cup, but their output is far inferior to that of the Tsunami Brothers.
In comparison. So at the critical moment, they will not rely on this for food.
I don’t have the self-confidence myself.
Then if you come in, you are seeking death.
The unprepared American team was completely disrupted by the sudden defense of the Chinese team. Of course, if you give them some time, they can still recover. After all, the Chinese team used this, because of the player's ability, and overall it was not as good as the European team.
However, this time is enough, because Tang Qian has been scoring during this period. The Chinese team took advantage of the American team's chaos and counterattacked vigorously. This was also the first large-scale defensive counterattack in the game so far.
Going out, although the American team defended hard and was indeed strong, in this case, it still put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team players. However... they forgot one of the most terrifying people.
That is, the No. 11 of the Chinese team, he sprinted back and forth for almost the entire court. When he saw an opportunity, he went up and grabbed several offensive rebounds in a row. This is actually not the regular play of 221 full-court zone defense, because according to 221
The normal way of playing a full-court zone defense is to give up offensive rebounds in this period, and the big man to retreat quickly to avoid giving the opponent the opportunity to directly attack the basket from a long distance.
But first of all, Tang Qian's athletic ability and physical fitness are different from ordinary people, unparalleled in the world, and he hardly feels tired.
Secondly, he also saw that during this period, the American team was also adapting quickly, and the effect would not be so good later. Therefore, he prepared to come over early and give it a try. Grab a wave and see if he could directly defeat the American team.
The team's momentum was kicked into the coffin.
Unexpectedly, I really did it. The American team's rebounding was a mess tonight. Tang Qian got consecutive offensive rebounds. He almost missed all the outside shots that the Chinese team didn't score. The score difference was one.
In the blink of an eye, it was 19 points. No, the referee gave a whistle. Popovich was furious and wanted to rely on his old age like he did in the NBA. He roared angrily, but the referee didn't take it and gave him a technical foul directly. This is FIBA
, a technical foul is very serious, much more serious than the NBA.
NBA only requires one free throw, and there is no need to change the ball. What about FIBA? One free throw, and one throw for the ball.
Popovich was immediately dumbfounded. When Tang Qian saw this, he couldn't help laughing. He joked loudly to Popovich, who was stunned: "Do you know the rules of FIBA by heart? Otherwise, do you know the rules of FIBA by heart?"
Shall I tell you something?"
Then he stood directly on the free throw line, stretched out his hand, and said to the whole team: "What are you waiting for? Cheer for the victory. From today on, our history of unbeatable defeats against the American team comes to an end."
"And do you know? We still have to take advantage of the victory to pursue it! Let's try to blow up the opponent once!"
"Destroy the American team, what do you think?" After saying that, Tang Qian laughed and put the free throw into the net, followed by a technical free throw, and then in the offensive round. He made a mid-road cut, and the American players who had already lost their fighting spirit had no time to stop it.
He was beaten. He forced himself up again and violently smashed Millician's basket with both hands!
Buzz~ The basket is humming~ I looked up and saw that in just one offensive round, Tang Qian helped the Chinese team score 6 points in a row!
23 points! The American team is finally starting to collapse.
Popovich's technical foul gave them the final blow to their morale that night.
The fans in the entire stadium are about to get excited. The United States, the basketball kingdom! Tonight, on the other side of the ocean, they will be eliminated by their own home team! Isn’t this the most memorable night for basketball fans across the country?
Tang Qian thought about winning, but he really didn't think about winning like this.
But now that the opportunity has come, you know he won't be polite.
