You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 622 Dimensionality Reduction Strike
It only took Wei Xia two or three games to establish his status in the national team.

His strength is obviously more than one level higher than the rest of the team, the gap is so big that even the ball blind can see it.

The Chinese team has established Weixia's core position.

Since he joined, the Chinese team has not lost a single warm-up match.

Sometimes, Wei Xia scored 40 points easily, making fans think that the Basketball Association invited a weak opponent to build confidence for the national team.

It is undeniable that there are problems with the quality of opponents in the warm-up match, but there are also strong opponents.

Wei Xia integrated into the system - in fact, there is no system at all.

As we all know, before Deng Huade entered the national team, the head coach of the CBA Shanghai Sharks—Yao Huang bought his old club, and the coaching staff including the management and mentor Li Qiuping changed all over again—Deng Huade also led the team that had been mired in the quagmire for many years to the playoffs in the first year of coaching the Shanghai team.

In 2009, Yao Huang was injured in the warm-up match of the national team and missed the Asian Championships held in Tianjin that year.The ace player was injured suddenly, and the core burden fell on Kong Tianyi, who had just finished his sophomore season.At that time, the structure of the national team was complicated. The young coach Guo Shiqiang, who was suspected of being gilded in the national team, could not control the situation.

The Chinese team, suffering from internal and external troubles, lost humiliatingly at home to Iran.

The snickering door at the awards ceremony has become a social hot spot.

The young coach who couldn't hold back the field could only dismiss get out of class. After Yao Huang's recommendation and the CBA test, Deng Huade became the coach of the Chinese team.

Deng Huade is an American, and a very typical American coach. He is not very good at creating a tactical system. He is an expert in playing chicken blood and pouring chicken soup.

In last year's World Championships, the Chinese team fought desperately under his bloody tactics. Although the final result was 1 win and 4 losses in the group stage, the fans saw the blood and vitality, and the helpless strategy of giving up the strategy briefly became history.

The Chinese team, which should have been eliminated, was favored by the goddess of luck in the competition for qualifying due to its hard work in the group stage.

The specific situation is very complicated. To put it simply, several teams have the same record, but the Chinese team advances because they lose fewer points in the games they lose.

1 win and 4 losses to advance to the top 16, this is fate.

In the same year, after the two American players in the team returned to the United States, Deng Huade packed up the team and turned to the Guangzhou Asian Games.

Although the journey was bumpy, the Chinese team won the gold medal thanks to Wang Zhizhi's god-like key performance. After the final match, the players hang the gold medal around the old Wang's neck to express their respect, which is undoubtedly the most moving scene of the Chinese team since the new century.

Deng Huade doesn't have a big strategy, and he doesn't have the ability to build a system. He likes to play mad dog tactics, likes to pour chicken soup, and likes to play man-to-man.

He has been repeatedly criticized for not having a system and only playing chicken blood, but looking back, isn't that the most suitable tactic for the national team?
Playing in a complex system, domestic players do not have that tactical literacy.

Playing American basketball without the talent and personal ability, you can't pour chicken soup and let everyone rush up.

So after Wei Xia joined the team, the biggest question for him from the outside world is whether he can let Wei Xia find his place in the team.

After a series of warm-up matches, Wei Xia dispelled everyone's doubts with an average of 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

For the Chinese team, having Wei Xia is equivalent to having an extra option in the first, second and third positions.

Wei Xia can play these three positions in the NBA, and he can also play in the Chinese team.

Deng Huade mainly put him in the second position and asked him to play Jordan of the Chinese team.Almost none of the opponents he encountered in the warm-up match could make Wei Xia frown. He could solve it by running without the ball and shooting three-pointers and low post shots.

Kong Tianyi, who was originally suitable for playing as a deputy, has returned to his previous state.

It's just that Deng Huade will let him play center more.

Because Yao Huang has retired, other people's ability to protect the basket is not as good as Tian Yi, so as long as he feels good, 20+10 is his normal state.

In the last battle before the Asian Championships, Wei Xia scored 47 points, setting a single-game scoring record for the Chinese team.

"This game, let us see Wei Xia's dominance!"

"He looks excited!"

After the game, Wei Xia told reporters: "We can't wait for the Asian Championships to start tomorrow."

With the strength of the Chinese team, looking at Asia, there is only one opponent - Iran.

Asia is called a basketball desert not because there are few people who love this sport, but because Asians are generally inferior to whites and blacks in terms of athletic talent.

More than ten years ago, the Chinese team could still beat European powers in international competitions.

Now, the former defeats can make up a complete NBA lineup one by one.

As for Asia, it is still in a situation where just having one NBA player can change the ecology.

Yao Huang retired unexpectedly, and Iran's golden generation just entered its peak.

They have Asia's No. [-] center Haddadi, Asia's No. [-] small forward Bahrami, and Asia's No. [-] point guard Kamrani and potential forward Kazmi who played for the University of Oregon.

In terms of capabilities, Iran's combat power was the strongest in Asia before Wei Xia joined the Chinese team.

Now, the balance has tilted towards the Chinese team.

The group stage was nothing to watch, and Wei Xia clocked in at halftime, and they won without any resistance.

Among them, the Jordan team from West Asia lost to them with 40 points.

Look, the Jordan team is weak.

However, this very weak team created the biggest upset of this Asian Championship not long after.

In the knockout round, the Chinese team ushered in a small challenge.

In the eight-to-four match against Lebanon, the opponent was determined to fight against the Chinese team, but Wei Xia made a low-post turn-up jumper without any difference.

Chinese commentators found that the Chinese team played two systems.

One set when Wei Xia is present, and another set when Wei Xia is not present.

When Wei Xia was on the court, he became a star, and even Kong Tianyi tried his best to expand outward, handing the ball to Wei Xia in the low post and letting him play alone.This is Deng Huade's style, simple, unadorned, rough, without much connotation, just useful.

If Wei Xia is not on the court, it will be a dynamic offense, whoever gets the ball will play.

Sometimes, if the shooter feels bad, it may be downgraded to a static offense.

The ball goes to the two sides of the wing, playing an inside and outside two; the weak side shooter cuts out, transfers to the weak side, and comes to a pick and roll.In the end, it is Lao Wang and Space Yi playing singles, or Liu Wei and Sun Yue looking for a pick-and-roll to break through.

The weak side lacks linkage, let alone the Spanish-style continuous breakthrough.

Even in singles, Sun Yue, Kong Kongyi, and Wang Zhizhi have their own headaches.In terms of offensive skills and footwork, Wang Zhizhi is top-notch in the world under FIBA ​​rules, but his strength is poor. If he is not deep enough and his shots are not tough under strong confrontation, he is obviously getting old this year.

The rest of the team, when they have a size advantage, are not very good at post-up singles, making Asian opponents like Barea in this year's finals, who can defend against a forward who is a head taller than him at 180 cm.

The Chinese team's position is dead, and there is no linkage on the weak side. In fact, there is really no way.

It is always said that Deng Huade has no tactics, but in fact he just makes the best use of everything.

The arrival of Wei Xia solved the most urgent part of the Chinese team: the ability to attack.

For domestic players, there is a superman in the team who can play the whole court all year round, take care of offense and defense, hit key shots, and attract double teams with the ball so that they can shoot open three-pointers.

This kind of player is called foreign aid in the league.

And it is certain that there will be no foreign aid of this level in the history of the CBA, and it is impossible to have such a level.

Playing against Lebanon, Wei Xia tried his best, with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

Playing against South Korea, his hands were so hot that he could shoot three-pointers from various NBA distances with just one hand.

In the past, Chinese team fans would feel terrified when they saw South Korean small guards shooting three-pointers.This year, Wei Xia let them experience what it means to play is the heartbeat.

He made 15 of 10 three-pointers in the game. Wei Xia turned the game into a personal show, scoring a career-high 50 points in a single game, and drove the Koreans to death.

50 points is a stat he has never gotten in the NBA.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability to score 50 points, it's just that he has never had a good time.

Then, the good news came.

In another group of semi-finals, the Jordan team defeated Iran in an upset, allowing the Iranian team, which claimed to be a threat to the Chinese team's championship, to end the journey ahead of schedule.

In the final, Jordan, who had created a miracle, failed to create another miracle.

Wei Xia blocked Jordan's naturalized foreign aid White, and Space Yi's dominant performance of 26+16+6 blocked shots, the Chinese team suppressed the audience, and the rhythm was suffocated.

106 is better than 77
With a 29-point victory, they won the tickets for the 2012 London Olympics.

Although the paddling in the previous group stage seriously affected Wei Xia's average data per game, on average, Wei Xia is still the player with the best data in the Chinese team. There is no suspense or controversy. Wei Xia was elected as the MVP of the 2011 Asian Championships.
