pinnacle of basketball

Chapter 550
"The game is not over yet, we can't give up." Next to it, a member of the coaching staff picked up the tactical board and issued tactical instructions to the players. However, due to communication problems, it was difficult to accurately convey the tactics to the players, resulting in the failure of tactical implementation.

The eyes of Bugatti on the chair were full of regret and tears, "It's useless, it's over." Bugatti seemed to have seen the result of the game in advance, and his calm was full of despair.

This is the last time he coached the New Zealand national team, and it is also his last year as the chairman of the Basketball Association. After the Asian Cup, he will also end his coaching career, temporarily stay away from basketball, and enjoy the "late" life.

If it were any other opponent, Bugatti would definitely fight until the last moment. Even if he was behind by 20 points, he would not give up the hope of a comeback. But this time the opponent is the Chinese team, which has the ultimate talent in Asia. There is no other team in Asia that is better than their lineup configuration and talent. It is hopeless to come back against this Chinese team.

"Let the players enjoy their basketball for the rest of the time." Bugatti stood up, whistled to the players one last time, and made a "special gesture."

After seeing this "strange" gesture, the team members were shocked. It was a gesture to cancel the tactics. Bugatti told the team members that when he made this gesture, it meant that they could play according to their inner thoughts.

On the court, the team is a whole, but the players are individuals. Everyone has their own playing style and ideas. However, due to the existence of game tactics, players need to restrain their own personalities, and then realize the implementation of tactics. Although this will make the team more integrated, it also restricts the display of the players' individuality. Tactics are like a shackle, firmly imprisoning the players.

"I believe that every player will perform better after getting rid of tactics." This is Bugatti's long-standing view, but he also believes that winning is not necessarily achieved when one's strength is brought into play.

The upper limit of a team is always above five people.

This is also the meaning of the existence of the coach. The coach can turn five people into a team.

Fang Tian has a deep understanding of this point. He is only one more quarter away from fulfilling his previous promise to the General Administration of Sports. He swore the oath to win the championship in front of everyone. Today, his oath is about to be fulfilled. At that time, no one believed that he could lead such a young team to make a difference in the Asian Cup.

The current national team is officially the new golden generation of the Chinese team, and will dominate Asia in the future.

It was Fang Tianzheng who turned the 24 individual players into a complete whole.

"Has the coach given up?" After receiving Bugatti's "tactical" instructions, Kramil was a little depressed. Although the team is far behind, the game is far from over. It is too early to give up. At least he is unwilling to give up. He finally reached the final.

Rutherford glanced at Bugatti and said slowly, "I know the coach, he is not someone who will give up easily, I think there must be some reason for him to do so."

After speaking, Rutherford began to speculate on Bugatti's ideas.

"This is really our last hope." Bugatti suddenly became calm, and looked at every running player on the field with gentle eyes, and they had no intention of giving up.

The New Zealand players who have completely deviated from the tactics can play according to their own ideas. Although they seem to be a lot looser, their offensive firepower has been greatly improved compared to before.

"Strike!" Bugatti, who was over [-] years old, stood up from his chair and cheered for the players, just as full of energy as he was when he was young.

The two sides fell into a frantic confrontation. What is surprising is that New Zealand's offensive firepower was not inferior to that of the Chinese team in the confrontation.

Bugatti watched this game with tears in his eyes, "I was wrong, let them be themselves is the best tactic." This scene overturned Bugatti's "belief" that he had insisted on for more than 30 years. He always felt that the tactics were to make the players better, but the New Zealand team in front of him made Bugatti very guilty. There is no tactic suitable for all players in the world. Only by truly letting the players be themselves can they show their strongest strength.

18 points!
15 points!
12 points!
The momentum of the New Zealand team chasing points is very fast, and it will soon be close to 10 points. If the point difference can be brought back to within 10 points, it is not impossible to win.

Just when the New Zealand team was going to take advantage of the victory to continue to close the point difference, Mu Chenfeng made a super long-range three-pointer from 8 meters away and silenced the entire arena.

Mu Chenfeng's goal was very horizontal, pouring a basin of cold water on the momentum of the New Zealand team.

"Want to make a comeback? Have you asked me?" Mu Chenfeng scored a three-pointer, and the point difference that the New Zealand team had been chasing for a long time was opened again.

"And us." The Chinese team lined up five people, standing in the second half, like a barrier, an insurmountable barrier.

New Zealand's final counterattack was finally over. They failed to cross the direction of the Chinese team, and the final point difference was fixed at 19 points, within 20 points.

The Chinese team did not make the final attack, but waited silently for the time to run out. The moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Mu Chenfeng threw the basketball used for the game high into the air, and all the players and staff of the Chinese team poured into the field to celebrate. The road back to the top of Asia has taken the Chinese team too long.

The New Zealand team left the field lonely. They did not see any hope of winning the whole game, and they were completely shrouded in the shadow of the Chinese team. Bugatti, known as the "miracle coach", also fell to the altar in the first battle.

Mu Chenfeng successfully got a triple-double, and with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, he made history and became the first player in the history of the Asian Cup to get a "triple-double" in the final.

After five years, the Chinese team won the championship in Asia again. The most important thing is that the Chinese team won the only ticket for the Olympic Games, and this is also the first ticket for men's basketball competition produced worldwide.
