Healing Basketball

Chapter 274. 274. Superstar Basketball
After the 2001 European Championship, Gasol was evaluated by the European media as the most talented center in Europe after Sabonis.

Although Gasol is still far from the height of Sabonis, he is already the number one center in the eyes of the European media in the international arena.

The top frame protection, the top support, the top singles...

Only the American media does not recognize it.

Yao Ming is very honored to be the strongest center in this World Championship described by the American media, and many domestic media also said the same, but when the imperial court commented on the game, they all called Gasol the number one center.

Liu Xiu's opening deduction was shocking!

Needless to say, the atmosphere of the scene, the fans in front of the TV were amazed by this buckle, and they focused on watching the game.

The American TV commentator brought up that matter again - the warden who is not the top frame protector will definitely not buckle it!
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Liu Xiu walked to the free throw line.

Gasol stood on the side of the three-second zone and was dunked dumbfounded.

The technique of the Eurostep is still the same, but the control of the rhythm, the explosive speed of the change of direction stride, the bullet speed... are different from what Gasol knew!
Although Liu Xiu won the knee pad before playing Grizzlies G4, he didn't wear it when he played Grizzlies G4.

The key is the bonus of the talent 'Bomb', and when he changes direction, he starts at the fastest speed, Gasol defends one-on-one, and his body can't keep up.

Liu Xiujia made a free throw and the Chinese team led 3-0 at the start.

The offense and defense switched, and Navarro received the serve and advanced.

The players of the Chinese team, who were already full of enthusiasm, were stimulated to be more active by Liu Xiu's dunk.

After the Spanish team players came to the front court, the Chinese team players gave strong physical contact.

Under Liu Xiu's confrontation, Navarro steadily delivered the ball to Gasol, and Gasol responded to Wang Zhizhi's defensive high position.

Yao Ming crouched under the basket and didn't follow Felipe Reyes to pull it out.

Felipe Reyes, who is 206 cm and 120 kg, is a thug-level impact striker in European basketball, but Yao Ming is just that size, and his footwork is quite good before he gains weight. Felipe Reyes is not ready to challenge it at all. Thoughts, and he didn't shoot...but!
No shooting does not mean that the offensive end is useless. Philip Reyes' flank pick-and-roll in tactics helped Roger Grimaud block Zhang Jinsong.

Zhu Fangyu did a very good job of switching defenses in the area, and made up the defense in time, but the entire defensive position of the Chinese team was messed up!
Gasol passes the ball to Felipe Reyes, who passes it to Navarro.

Liu Xiu was blocked by Gasol while chasing Navarro. Barcelona bombed Navarro and hit a three-pointer from the flank, and he returned the favor!

Very nice response ball!

The crazy dog ​​defense of the Chinese men's basketball team's outside trio is very good, but they used tactics to deal with the Spanish team steadily.

When the Chinese team attacked, Liu Xiu slowly advanced to the frontcourt.

The outside stars of the Spanish team dare not be careless now.

Originally, they looked at Liu Xiu's face and thought that most of Liu Xiu's fame was earned by his face.

They knew that Liu Xiu should be very good, but they didn't expect that he could be so good. They felt that he was even better than Navarro. This is Spain's number one point guard!

The players of the Spanish team were extremely focused, ready to defend Liu Xiu's attack... Liu Xiu lobbed the ball to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming hit Gasol in the low post!

Yao Ming took a step, turned around, changed hands and made a layup.

One-on-one in the low position, Yao Ming, who has plenty of physical strength, has no solution.

Gasol's personality is also good. He was able to hold his breath when Liu Xiu and Yao Ming hit two goals in a row.

When it came time for the Spanish team to attack, Felipe Reyes played a time lag, cut in after the pick-and-roll and caught the ball behind Yao Ming for a layup.

The start was 5 to 5, the two teams scored in the first two offenses, and the scene was evenly matched.

But the coach of the Chinese team Yinhu looked dignified.

The game has just started, and they have already started the superstar style of play.

But Silver Fox doesn't think there is a problem with the choice of Liu Xiu and Yao Ming. From the perspective of the Spanish team's position, player movement performance, and tacit understanding, if they try to play tactical cooperation here, there is a high probability that they will not be able to get it right.

In this case, they don't have the conditions to try, and if they fail, it will be very difficult to get back.

No, after playing a few rounds, the Spanish team clearly had the upper hand. Nearly halfway through the first quarter, the Spanish team led 14 to 11 by 3 points, and Zhang Jinsong of the Chinese team had a two-point catch and shot!

Silver Fox originally planned to call a timeout after a while, but when the Chinese team retreated, Liu Xiu pulled his teammates to say a few words quickly. When the Spanish team attacked, the Chinese team's defense became more targeted!
Block Navarro's shot from any position, block the cut behind Yao Ming, protect the three-second zone, and actively switch defenses.

Alberto Herreiros and Felipe Reyes' shots are ignored, Roger Grimaud's three-pointer at the top of the arc should be paid attention to, and other positions are directly emptied.

In terms of the weakness of the shooting of these three players, the Chinese team directly regards the opponent's flaws as defenses.

Alberto Herreiros gets his chance, catches the ball from the right sideline and shoots a [-]-pointer... Iron!
Gambling defense, the effect is immediate!

Liu Xiu retracted to protect the defensive rebound, and after reaching the frontcourt, he singled out a high-post emergency stop and shot a jumper...and missed a hit when he encountered a supplementary defense.

When the Spanish team attacked, the Spanish team desperately wanted to widen the point difference to more than 5 points. Alberto Herreros got another chance to catch the ball, but he received the ball outside the three-point line and did not continue to shoot. Dash inside.

Wang Zhizhi shrank his wings, took Alberto Herreros' soaring layup, and grabbed the ball!
When it came time for the Chinese team to attack, Yao Ming widened the middle distance on the left side, Wang Zhizhi went to close range, the Spanish team switched defenses very well, and Gasol was always squatting inside.

Wang Zhizhi caught the ball and played singles, swayed Gasol away with his dexterous footsteps, turned around and stepped on the right sideline of the three-second zone and made a throwback shot!
In terms of visual effects, Wang Zhizhi's singles is not as ostentatious as Liu Xiu, not as fierce as Yao Ming, but it seems easier!
13 to 14, the Chinese team continued to rely on personal ability to cling to the score.

The defense worked!The silver fox on the sidelines was very pleasantly surprised, this self-adjustment ability is too good.

The Spanish team has a headache.

It can be said that the Chinese team played on the wrong side. The three crazy dogs on the outside were overly active in the confrontation, which made the players in the Spanish team's starting lineup who were not able to shoot feel very comfortable. Later, Liu Xiu seized the opportunity to direct his teammates to target the defense. The defensive efficiency of the Chinese team was really high. Woke up.

The Spanish team is not behind in the situation, and they have followed suit. Compared with the Chinese team, their defense is better. With Zhang Jinsong's failure to make shots, they can well restrain Liu Xiu, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi. singles.

Flanking, cutting off passes, contesting shots... just strictly enforce defensive coordination.

But this is not what the Spanish team wants!
In the second half of the first quarter, China's scoring efficiency was completely suppressed, but so was the Spanish team!
The Spanish team, which scored 14 points in the first half, only scored 8 points in the second half!
After the scoring efficiency has dropped, the Chinese team is in favor. After Wang Zhizhi's singles score, Li Nan, who came off the bench, scored a three-pointer from the flank, Wang Zhizhi made a tip-up, and Liu Xiu received a pass from Yao Ming and caused two fouls. Made all free throws and scored 7 points!
The score was 20-22.

At 9 minutes and 41 seconds, Gasol failed to make a high mid-range shot and switched offense and defense. The Chinese team failed to get a good shot. The ball returned to Liu Xiu with 4 seconds left.

The position where Liu Xiu responds is on the right sideline.

Liu Xiu caught the ball and took a step horizontally, but failed to get rid of the defense of the 198 cm tall shooting guard Rodrigo Fuente who came off the bench on the opposite side. He took off directly and shot a three-pointer...

The ball was leaving Liu Xiu's hand, the ball was still rising, and the whistle for the end of the first quarter had already sounded.

The ball slid through a beautiful arc in the air and plunged into the basket!
'Little Li Flying Knife' hits the spot!

The bigger the cauldron, the higher the probability of triggering the hot feeling, and Liu Xiu is at an angle of about 30 degrees to the right of his favorite, and the buzzer has scored a three-pointer!

The referee confirmed to the technical desk that it was a three-pointer, 23 to 22, and the Chinese team overtook the Spanish team by 1 point and entered the intermission!
……

Before the end of the first quarter, the Chinese fans at the scene were extremely excited, the commentator of the court TV was roaring, and the audience in front of the TV was extremely excited.

The players of the Chinese team are also very excited.

but!

刘秀8分、姚明5分、王治郅4分，中国队一共就23分，三人拿了17分。

Gasol had 4 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

The gap in team strength is too great.

However, when Liu Xiu saw Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, his two teammates, he didn't notice too much... It is possible that these two people noticed it and made him as excited and happy as everyone else, and Liu Xiu didn't pierce this point either.

An old Jianghu like Silver Fox would not say anything to discourage the players at this time. First, he excitedly praised the players' performance in the first quarter, and then began to rotate.

Liu Xiu, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi played the entire first quarter, and Silver Fox replaced Yao Ming for a rest. Yao Ming was the one who looked clearly tired.

Yao Ming is actually stronger than Wang Zhizhi in both offense and defense, but Wang Zhizhi's continuity is much stronger.

The other three players who were sent, Li Nan, Zhang Qingpeng, and Yi Jianlian.

Yinhu patted Liu Xiu and Wang Zhizhi on the shoulders, meaning it was up to you two.

Both nodded, and the three confirmed each other—the other party knew that the current situation was not very optimistic.

Then, Yinhu saw Liu Xiu take out a paper bag from his backpack and tore open the paper bag... a bunch of candied haws!

Silver Fox worked as an assistant coach for Nelson in the Mavericks last season, and it's not like he hasn't seen this scene before, but the Olympics!The game the whole world is watching!
Resolutely attracted to the live broadcast camera, the handsome guy looks handsome after eating candied haws...

Back from the intermission, the players of the two teams played again.

Yao Ming became the third apprentice, and Liu Xiu felt more pressure.

However, there was no pressure on his expression at all, and his sloppy expression turned into incomparable excitement.

And it's not a made expression, it's the kind from the heart!
The strength of the team is weaker than that of the opponent, but they relied on their personal ability to carry a quarter of the game.

When can it last?he does not know.

But at least it represents a chance!
They're just setting sail, and they're not afraid to lose, they just want to win!
Chinese team!Go, go, go!
