In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 14 Trainer Selection and NBA Team Focus
Winning Argentina is something worth celebrating, but how to solve the problems exposed by the team is also crucial.

The 3-2 zone defense has become the key to restricting Zhang Tian. Although it is impossible to really defeat the Chinese team, you can see from the game between the Greek team and Argentina that it was too difficult for the Chinese team to win after Zhang Tian was restricted.

The 3-2 zone defense is very easy to crack, but the current U19 team does not have any of the major cracking methods, such as the simplest and most violent way of combining internal and external, but it is a pity that Mo Ke Li Ke is not Yao Ming, they are in The dominance of the basket is not that strong, and the guys on the outside are quite average off the ball. Zhang Tian is the best off the ball in the Chinese team, and he is also the one with the strongest ability to hold the ball.This is very uncomfortable.

Wang Fei was also very distressed. Originally, this World Youth Championship came with the mentality of focusing on participation at the beginning, but after entering the knockout round, the leaders above and the fans raised their demands on the National Youth Team again. Speaking of winning the championship, at least one must be in the top three or top four.

Zhang Tian did not forget to watch the Group A game after training. The US team beat Australia by 30 points in the first game. Since they were defeated by the Chinese team, they seemed to have been woken up at once. When playing against the Chinese team, it is not a team at all.

In the other Spanish war against Croatia, the Matador Corps had the last laugh. Yugoslavia disintegrated, and the basketball geniuses who were once together were also divided into two countries, Croatia and Serbia, which directly weakened their overall strength.

"Xiao Zhang, after some work between Ricky and I, there are only a few teams that are interested in you."

Xia Song and Rich Paul came in from the arena, Zhang Tian finished training again, picked up the materials handed in by the two, and looked at it, "Kings, Pacers, Heat, Cavaliers, Grizzlies, Jazz, Raptors. Which of these companies is the most sincere."

Xia Song didn't have time to talk, but Rich Paul spoke because he was the one who contacted these teams. "It's basically the same, Zhang. Your next performance will affect their judgment of you, so I don't think I'm in a hurry to make any choices before the World Youth Championship is over."

Zhang Tian agrees with Rich Paul's words, "By the way, Rich, help me find two people, one is Chip Englander and the other is Ganon Baker. Not that big, I wish they could be my personal trainers."

Compared to their previous lives, Ganon Baker and Chip Englander are not very famous now. Although the former was invited to participate in the Michael Jordan training camp as a trainer, he is still far behind his peak in his previous life.As for the latter's current reputation in the basketball circle in California, Zhang Tian wanted to directly win these two at this time.

Rich Paul nodded. He didn't object to Zhang Tian's proposal. Anyway, he wasn't the one who spent the money, and he was just an errand runner.

April NO.20 at 07:30 in the evening, still in the Sporting Lisbon Stadium, the focus of Group B is about to be staged. In the first knockout match, the Brazilian team defeated the rival Russia and the Chinese team had a 1-0 record. After this game, there will definitely be a team whose undefeated golden statue will be broken.

The head coach of the Brazilian team is very confident in his disciples. Although his on-the-spot command is very average, he can't copy his homework. If he strangles Zhang Tian with a 3-2 defense, the game will be won , as in the previous game against the Russian team.

The head coach of the Brazilian team seems to have seen the group leader beckoning to him.

Wang Fei made some changes to the lineup. Jiao Jian replaced Li Ke, and Yue Pengfei was replaced by Dai Yong. The Chinese team has two point guards in the backcourt. I can fight like this.

Zhang Tian’s opponent tonight is Brazil’s No. 195 Diego Piero, and he has a very good name. This guy is 100 tall and weighs [-] kilograms. He is a short and stocky small forward, similar to a weakened version. Pierce.

At the beginning, Moko grabbed the ball. Liu Wei slowly pushed the ball into Brazil's half. He didn't give the ball to Zhang Tian immediately. At this time, only Diego Piero was defending Zhang Tian, ​​but in China With no ball at the core of the team, this guy's defense was obviously lax. Zhang Tianhou took a step back, and Brazil's No. [-] still stood still.

Seeing this, No. [-] of the Chinese team didn't hesitate, and bowed towards the inside and killed it. Diego Piero reacted, but he still didn't stop Zhang Tian, ​​and Liu Wei's ball also stumbled to the former.

At this time, the No. 13 striker of the Brazilian team, Mora Costa, rushed over. He wanted to stop Zhang Tian, ​​but Zhang Tian was very calm. He changed the ball to the other hand, turned around and passed the Brazilian striker. , At this time, only the center of the Brazilian team was trembling under the basket. Duang, the core of the Chinese team, did not hesitate to dunk and complete the score.

"Beautiful, Xiao Zhang has adjusted his style of play. He no longer takes the initiative to catch the ball, but runs without the ball first, and then catches the ball when he has a chance. This is a very reasonable play, and it is completely a reflection of basketball IQ. "Weiping Bryant was spitting all over the commentary, and the head coach of the Brazilian team was a little confused, but he didn't adjust his tactics in time.

The offense of the Brazilian team is completely individual singles. In addition to Diego Piero, No. 13, Mora Costa, No. 10, and Lima, No. 2, are their three singles masters. Lima is the leading scorer in the Brazilian team , but these three have one thing in common--average shooting ability, so in this game, Wang Fei asked Zhang Tian to make changes on the offensive end, and he changed the Chinese team's defensive formation from man-to-man to 3-[-] zone defense.

This change was unexpected by the head coach of Brazil. As Brazil's top card, it was easy to pass Daiyong, but the moment he stepped inside, Zhang Tian floated over like a ghost. A confrontation started. As the core of the opponent, Lima is very skilled in handling the ball, but he has never passed Zhang Tian. No matter how he pulls and changes directions, he can't get rid of the opponent's defense. This makes Brazil No. 10 He was very anxious and had no choice but to make a strong shot against Zhang Tian’s long arm. Duang hit the ball and the rebound was taken by Jiao Jian. He directly passed a long pass to Dai Yong, who finished quickly. attack.

The Brazilian team chose to pause, and the Chinese team also took the opportunity to rest for a while. Their head coach seemed to be thinking about what could break the game.
