super small forward

Chapter 733 733. Fight!
Liu Ren's jersey number in the national team is No. 9, the number used by the basketball god in the Olympics, and his ambition is self-evident.

"Chaotingtai, Chaotingtai, hello, audience friends, this is Chaotingtai Sports..." Director Zhang's old BJ accent is always so familiar, how can Director Zhang be missing in the Sino-US basketball war? Director Zhang's hair is now It's all white.

Today's match is the Chinese team's home game according to the schedule. Liu Ren and the others are all wearing jerseys with white background and red trim.

The U.S. team uses ink as the base and red as the modified jersey.

Before the game, after the national anthems of both sides were played, the game started. Yi Jianlian and Whiteside jumped the ball in the middle circle. The referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the sky.

Yi Jianlian tried his best. When the referee threw the ball to the highest point, he bounced the ball backwards because he was favored in the draft, surpassing many blacks. Whiteside's static physical fitness is indeed very dominant, but the explosive speed It is not as good as Yi Jianlian. It should be said that most of the insiders in the league are not Yi Jianlian's opponents in terms of bullet speed.

Liu Ren got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

As soon as Liu Ren got outside the three-point line, James immediately posted to defend him.

James in the Olympics is not the traffic commander during the NBA regular season. He directly played his defense in the playoffs. His muscles and strength constantly acted on Liu Ren. The perfect combination of defensive skills and physical fitness gave Liu Ren a lot great pressure.

Liu Ren dribbled the ball steadily under the interference of James.

Li Muhao is about to arrive!Leaning on Anthony's back to ask for the ball, Liu Ren passed the ball.

Li Muhao's one-on-one singles ability is reassuring. Liu Ren, a small forward who is 5 cm shorter than himself, thinks there is no problem in singles.

As Liu Ren expected, Li Muhao's height and weight are not too many problems in singles against Anthony. Anthony's defense is really getting worse and worse. , Li Muhao relied on his height advantage to turn around and get an easy layup opportunity.

but!The moment Li Muhao made his shot, the handprint of a big black man wearing No. 17 ink-colored jersey was printed on the ball.

Whiteside sent a big hat to Li Muhao at the beginning!
Anthony grabs the defensive rebound!

Anthony immediately passed to James, and the US team counterattacked!

Kobe ran to a 45-degree angle to attract the defense, James passed it to Harden, Harden rushed to the basket to attract the rest of the Chinese players who were chasing back, and then threw it in front of the basket, James followed up with an alley-oop dunk.

This is the most frequently used tactic by the U.S. team in this year's Olympic Games. The defensive counterattack is completely unstoppable.

The game continues, the Chinese team ball, Liu Ren continues to look for opportunities with the ball, to hit the success rate!Liu Ren felt that the success rate must be played, otherwise it would be too terrifying to be counterattacked. Now the high-quality defense of this lineup can't be played at all, and the US team has exhausted their energy. The success rate must be played!

Because he didn't defend for three seconds, Liu Ren felt that it was too difficult for the two insiders to score in the three-second zone!

Liu Ren finally understands how strong Whiteside's inside dominance is. As long as he enters the inside, he will be covered by the shadow of being blocked. Without defending for three seconds, Whiteside's defensive deterrence at the basket has been further improved.

Ji Zhe can only rush for rebounds and open three-pointers. His role is to defend against James. With his power forward's strength and small forward's speed and agility, he is one of the best defenders on the outside of the Chinese team except for Liu Ren. It may be best to use Ji Zhe to defend against players like James and Anthony, because he can ignore the offensive end and use all his energy and physical strength to deal with his defenders.

Ji Zhe is very useful on the defensive end, but not on the offensive end. Sun Yue is okay to link up the team at a high position. Yi Jianlian, Li Muhao... have no advantage against the US team!

The US team is indeed ridiculously strong!In just three or four seconds, Liu Ren calculated all the situation and possible play in his mind, and came to a conclusion.

Liu Ren made a gesture to play singles!

Liu Ren suddenly took a big step back, more than one meter away from the three-point line.

What are you going to do?James has some doubts, so far from the three-point line, shooting?

But Liu Ren really voted!

"Shua", a hollow three-pointer brought up the Nets.

Super long distance three points!Liu Ren was a full meter and a half away from the three-point line just now!

It looks amazing, but in fact this is similar to the NBA's three-pointer with a half-meter withdrawal from the top arc, because the FIBA's three-point line is much shorter than the NBA's.

This is what Liu Ren guessed during the training camp. It was not necessarily to deal with the US team. When playing against those strong European teams, this move is very effective. It may not be effective against the US team, but it is against European teams. The team must be effective, because NBA players are used to longer three-point distances, and European teams rarely shoot three-pointers that far.

Because James has adapted to the FIBA ​​three-point line for a while, he was caught off guard by Liu Ren.

Liu Ren blew on his palm, it feels very good today, Liu Ren is more confident.

Liu Ren's three-pointer brought cheers at the scene, but immediately the US team let everyone know what a dream team is.

Harden directly rushed to the inside to face Yi Jianlian's defense and scored 2+1. He was forced by Howard to evolve into the league's first shooting guard last season. The super scorer can't be stopped by Sun Yue!Even the inside line plus Yi Jianlian won't work!
It is too easy for the US team to score. All five of them are masters who want to score and no one can stop them.

Fortunately, the Chinese team has Liu Ren in the starting lineup. If the US team can break through, Liu Ren can still do it!
Liu Ren burst into the three-second zone and leaned against James to pass the ball sideways to Yi Jianlian. At this time, Whiteside felt that Liu Ren was more threatening and double-teamed, and Yi Jianlian dunked the ball openly.

On the other hand, the U.S. team played a simple ball directly and easily. Kobe forced his body to squeeze Sun Yue away with a three-threat stance and then made a high toss. James scored an alley-oop dunk through Yi Jianlian.

The Chinese team had Liu Ren on the court, and the offensive firepower continued. Halfway through the first quarter, the score was deadlocked in the 5th minute. The US team led the Chinese team by 17 points 15-[-], and the US team had the ball.

The old coach K called a timeout, and the US team began to make substitutions.

There are so many people in the US team, and the strength of the team has not decreased at all after the substitution. The five-member team of Westbrook, Irving, James, Paul George, and Cousins ​​​​is not inferior to the starting lineup just now.

This is the dream team. Durant hasn't played yet, and they can form two lineups that crush all opponents, and there are still a bunch of superstars who haven't participated in the battle.

The strength of the Chinese team has been greatly reduced after the substitution, Liu Wei, Liu Ren, Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Peng, and Wang Zhelin.

After entering the rotation, the strength of the Chinese team has dropped a lot, especially on the defensive end. Compared with the starting team, this group of people is more than 01:30 points behind. Only Liu Ren has an advantage, but it is also offset by James. Soon, the American team easily played a wave of 14 to 6. After the first quarter, the American team suddenly opened the point difference to 10 points.

During the holiday break, Liu Ren and Yannakis are discussing how to solve the crisis.

But in the face of absolute power suppression, all tactics and strategies are useless!
"Patty, we're in trouble again." Liu Ren was really helpless. When several good defensive players were replaced, the point difference was widened almost instantly. The Chinese team had no resistance at all.

Yannakis frowned: "Our tactics can't be played out, the opponent's confrontation is too strong, and our players can't fight against offense and defense."

Yannakis didn't care much when talking with Liu Ren, because Liu Ren could basically ignore those things when he was on the court, and he could lead the team forward by himself.

"Then it's fine if we don't play tactics. If I play singles, I think it's better than it is now."

"Single play?" Yannakis didn't like this word. As a European coach, if it wasn't for Liu Ren being known as the best basketball player in the world, the pride of the Chinese, he wouldn't even let Liu Ren play single play.

"No one can guard me!" Liu Ren made no secret of his pride.

Yannakis is still frowning. It's not that he doesn't trust Liu Ren's words, but in his deep-rooted thinking, the US team has never been defeated by other countries with a certain player. In his impression, the US team The personal ability of the players is the strongest in the world. Even players who can't play in the midfield are the absolute core in other teams.

Yannakis basically doesn't watch the NBA. He knows that Liu Ren is very famous in the NBA, but there is also news that the Lakers' overall lineup is the best in the NBA, and there is no suspense about winning the championship.

Although Yannakis now feels that the Chinese team is worthy of those European teams, there is still a big gap compared with the US team.

Yannakis was very melancholy. When the second quarter was about to start, Yannakis wanted to replace Liu Ren, and then think about whether Liu Ren should single out his opponent.

"Patty, are you going to replace me?" Liu Ren asked strangely.

"There are still three quarters, a full 30 minutes, and we need you to keep your strength," Yannakis said.

"Uh, Patty, there are still 30 minutes... Is it not long before I play the full court?"

"There are 30 minutes left? Let's play for 30 minutes." Liu Ren said nonchalantly. Playing 40 minutes is a normal thing for a top NBA player.

Yannakis was stunned. To be honest, he didn’t know how to arrange the rotation after seeing the performance of the U.S. team against the second team of the Chinese team. This is what Yannakis had expected before, but the second unit gap is too big.

Let a few main players play the whole court?Yannakis was taken aback by his own strange idea!
Yannakis is a European coach, which is different from coaches in Asia and North America. European teams rarely have an absolute core. The difference in the level of their players is not very big, and each player's playing time is relatively average, so Every European player always goes all out. Similarly, they cannot play too long in a game, otherwise their physical fitness will not last.

The same is true of the Chinese men's basketball team in the past. The strength of the national team players is average and average. They usually practice less and have poor physical fitness. A game can guarantee 20 minutes of high-intensity games.

Some of their European coaches are very capable, but their vision is really not very good. They disdain the American basketball with individual heroism. , but each of them is so strong, there is no need to play the whole game!

You have to give others a chance to show off!Taking the risk of injury to participate in the national team competition, isn't it just to show your face and gain popularity!
This year's Chinese team is completely different from the Chinese team that Yannakis took over in 2013. Guo Ailun is famous for his hard work in the CBA. Ji Zhe and Yi Jianlian have been playing for a long time in the CBA. Play more No problem at all, this is not the team made up of a group of old men and uncles in 2013.

"Let's fight?" Yanakis saw Liu Ren, Guo Ailun and others eager to try. It was completely different from other rotation players who were completely beaten. The vigor and fighting spirit of young people were not what Yanakis used to bring. The Chinese team in China disarmed and surrendered when they encountered European and American teams.

If they win this game, they will face Argentina, the weakest top four in Group B, in the quarter-finals. If they lose, they will play against the powerful Lithuania.

Yannakis was going to take a gamble. The Blue Association was upset about sending the main players in today's game. Since everyone is upset, why worry so much!
