Chapter 779 The only hope

Behind the match between China and Lithuania was the match between the Spanish team and the US team. In order to compete for the place in the final, the two teams fought fiercely from the beginning.

The two Gasol brothers of the Spanish team caused a lot of trouble for the US team, especially Marc Gasol, who was not inferior to Dwight Howard alone. Although his body has not yet reached the level of Yao Ming, But it was enough to make Dwight Howard miserable.

In this way, it is tantamount to liberating Pau Gasol. Instead of playing in the past, Pau Gasol has launched a variety of basket attacks like a real inside player. His offensive skills Very mature and rich, coupled with Carmelo Anthony's height and strength advantages, for a while, the US team was uneasy inside and outside the US team.

Because of the closeness of the three-point line, Pau Gasol used to shoot from a position farther from the free throw line, but now he is outside the three-point line, and with Marc Gasol to contain Dwight Howard, he can play again. Going to the basket, he doesn't know many offensive methods such as hooks, jump shots, backs, and hitting the board. In addition, Carmelo Anthony is not good at defense, and his footsteps can't keep up with Pau Gasol's footsteps. , It is too unacceptable.

Seeing this, Yunus in the stands couldn't help but light up. The US team's inside line is indeed a weakness, and it is a well-known weakness, but no one can take advantage of it because their defense is too oppressive. Sexuality, always not allowing you to launch an inside attack, they have already forced you to attack early.

But the Spanish team is different. They have enough ball-handling players and flexible tactical advantages, especially Pau Gasol, who can make Carmelo Anthony look like a fool. The US team is oppressive. Once their defense fails, their weakness inside is exposed.

And you must know that the U.S. team only brought three real inside players, Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh and Carlos Boozer. Both Chris Bosh and Carlos Boozer are power forwards, and the offense Focusing on the perimeter, the defensive ability at the basket is very average, and their real center Dwight Howard is also not good at confrontation at the basket.

Because there is no outside lineup that can fight against them, they put the main offensive force on the outside, and the defense also starts from the outside, regardless of the inside, so they only brought these three inside players. Most of the time, Carmelo Anthony will play the fourth position.

Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James both have a height of [-] meters. In many countries, this height can also play inside, and they do not suffer in terms of strength confrontation, so the US team does not think their inside is What a big deal.

Among the twelve teams that entered the Olympic group stage, only the Spanish team can display two seven-footers, and only the Chinese team can display three seven-footers. Apart from facing these two teams, The US team basically does not need to worry about inside problems.

But to their surprise, they met the Spanish team in the semi-finals, and they still faced another strong inside team, the Chinese team, in the final. It turned out that the internal and external of the Chinese team was seriously unbalanced. Many problems have been solved, and the threat of insiders has also increased.

But it’s too late to talk about changing the lineup at this time, and we can only deal with it passively. Seeing that Carmelo Anthony is really capable of dealing with Pau Gasol, and Pau Gasol also reversed the weak style of playing in the league. He was very tough and iron-blooded, so coach Krzyzewski had to replace Chris Bosh. At least in terms of height, Chris Bosh didn't suffer much, and his footsteps still had a slight advantage.

But Pau Gasol has already played his form, and Chris Bosh can't stop it. The Spanish team won the last World Championships, but they didn't have any achievements in the Olympic Games. In the quarter-finals, I met the US team and lost.

For this Olympic Games, the Spanish team is also ambitious and comes with a strong belief in winning the championship. Wouldn't it be so easy to let go? With Pau Gasol's excellent performance, the Spanish team's outside offense has also opened up, especially Navarro, the front and back players are a bit too tall to defend him, and Chris Paul is a bit short to defend him. Jason Kidd, who is most suitable for defending him, is injured and unable to play.

At this time, the head coach of the Spanish team, Aito Renises, replaced Yog Garbajosa again, replacing Rudy Fernandez, who did not play very well. In the middle, he played very well, and he was the hero of the Spanish team's championship. This time, he once again proved with his performance that the more critical the game, the better his performance.

LeBron James' defensive ability is not bad, and his confrontation ability is also very strong, but that refers to players of the same level, but when encountering those tall and strong players, like Garbajosa, who is two meters long With the height of Qi and a player weighing 110 and [-] kilograms, his confrontation is a bit insufficient.

At least he can't stop Garbajosa from shooting outside the three-point line, and almost all of Garbajosa's offenses come from outside the three-point line. gained the lead.

First, Pau Gasol's strength helped the team open up the situation and open up space; second, Navarro's dislocation advantage allowed them to take advantage of the offensive end; third, Garbajosa's performance, the United States The team's three-point defense ability is not too strong.

Jonas wrote down the content in his own notebook, and then took advantage of the intermission to think about how the Chinese team can use this experience to deal with the US team, and if the Spanish team enters the final, what should the Chinese team do? How to defend the Spanish team.

But even now that the Spanish team leads the US team by [-] points, Jonas still believes that the US team has a better chance of entering the final, because the Spanish team's lead came from the outbreak of several players, which gave them an advantage. The team here is only showing its normal strength.

But in the second half, the leading American team will inevitably react. These proud stars will never be reconciled to being led by others and will definitely launch a counterattack, but the Spanish team has basically taken out all of them. The strength of these teams can maintain the state of the first half, Jonas is deeply doubtful, and he does not think that the Spanish team will have someone to replace them.

It is very common for players to explode on the basketball court, but it is more difficult to win the game relying on explosion. Either your explosion is very continuous, or the explosion is in a critical period, usually in the second half of the game. or the last section.

When you explode at the beginning, it is like winning a big win as soon as you enter the casino. Gambling still has the opportunity to withdraw and leave, but the game does not. Of course, this does not mean that the initial explosion is not important. Like the Spanish team, if it weren't for the outbreak of Gasol and others, they would never lead the US team, but this is not enough for them to win the game.

And if they can hold a stalemate or even fall behind the US team in the first half, and then start to explode in the second half, there is a possibility of victory. But now, Jonas is not optimistic that they can win the US team.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, the US team launched a fierce attack on the Spanish team like crazy. Although the Spanish team used all their strength on defense and couldn't even play their own offense, they still couldn't help the US team. , the score was narrowed little by little until it was overtaken.

Sure enough, the U.S. team cannot be defeated by defense alone, because their offense is too powerful, and it is far from being able to be restrained by defense alone. Rely on offense, use offense to force them to defend, so that they cannot attack with all their strength, and only in this way can they win the game.

Jonas took this opportunity to evaluate the peak ability of each player on the US team. This cannot be assessed just by watching videos. The US team’s tactics are useless. Their tactics are usually relatively simple. Most of the time They all use the personal ability of the players to score, but this is very effective, because they have players far superior to other opponents in any position, except perhaps the center position.

After the US team overtook the score, although the Spanish team launched several counterattacks, it did not work. In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Spanish team once chased the score to only two points, but the whole game was soy sauce. What played was Kobe Bryant's sudden outburst, hitting three consecutive field goals.

For the last time, he even made a shot in front of Pau Gasol and Marc Gasol, widening the point difference to [-] points, which also broke the confidence of the Spanish team. There is a threatening counterattack.

Jonas immediately drew a circle on Kobe Bryant's name. Originally on his list, the biggest threat to the American team was LeBron James. His comprehensive offensive and defensive skills were the biggest threat to the Chinese team, but it's okay There is Stephen who can match up with him, and then there is Carmelo Anthony's shooting ability.

Originally, in his ranking, Kobe Bryant could only be ranked fourth, but now it seems that Kobe Bryant is the last trump card of the US team, and he is also the player they rely on most at critical times, and also the most threatening players.

And there is only one Stephen in the Chinese team who can make Kobe Bryant score like this, but LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Kobe Bryant all need Stephen to deal with. Can he handle the three of them alone? , Yunus couldn't believe it, but he hoped.
