King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 45 Entering the Knockout

"Hey, the substitutes still can't keep up with the pace. In the past, our defenders were all famous for Xiao Kuai Ling, but now we only have Xiao. Kuai and Ling have long since been lost. If it weren't for He Yixiang, the defender The line still needs to be supported by veterans like Liu Wei." Director Zhang shook his head.

Xu Jicheng was also deeply touched: "Yeah, since the success of Yao Ming, the youth training has become more inclined to big men. Looking for seedlings does not look at the ball, but at first glance whether they are tall or not. It is really putting the cart before the horse, although in recent years In addition to many powerful big men, like Yi Jianlian and Tang Zhengdong are typical representatives, but the outside line always relies on the group of veterans who have played for many years." Of course, this is what they are complaining about here. What they really want to do is still The entire youth training system attaches great importance to the outside line.

The score was narrowed, Deng Huade was also a little anxious, and hurried He Yixiang up to stabilize the situation. This time, Russia double-teamed He Yixiang decisively as soon as he played, and then the other players quickly rotated. Although the Chinese team would also have a chance, It’s better than letting He Yixiang count on Bykov indefinitely. It’s a pity that the Chinese team’s basket today is not very good except for He Yixiang and Sun Yue. Standing a little inside.In the second quarter, when both sides felt average, they fought each other, and the fans who watched were stamping their feet anxiously.

In the last 15 seconds of the second quarter, the Chinese team led by two points at 42:40. He Yixiang made the final attack. Just after halftime, Bykov and Bonkarasov double-teamed again. He Yixiang raised his hand, and the two reflected Sexually thinking that He Yixiang passed to the vacant space again, and was turning around to make up for it, but suddenly found that after turning back, none of the four people on the opposite side had the ball. Just like a ray of light, he passed through the middle of the two and entered the inside line. Facing Mozkov's supplementary defense, he rose from the ground and dunked directly on Mozkov's head. Even Mozkov Knocked to the ground by He Yixiang's explosive force, the referee's whistle rang at the same time.

"2+1, this is not just a goal, Mozkov's third foul after this foul, he will have to stay honestly for at least one quarter of the second half." Zhang Weiping saw the ball Excitedly shouted, this ball can be said to be a ball that affects the situation of the game.He Yixiang made a steady free throw and ended the first half with a 45:40 lead of 5 points.

"He played well in the first half. He Yixiang scored 18 points and 6 assists in the half."

"If it weren't for the fact that everyone except Sun Yue was a bit strong in the first half, this assist would have already broken 10."

In the locker room, Deng Huade first praised He Yixiang's offensive power and passing, but Yi Jianlian understood after hearing it. Since Deng Huade praised him at the beginning, it must mean that he was not very satisfied with the first half. Sure enough, half a minute later, the topic changed : "Wang Shipeng, you are my most trusted shooter, but what kind of shit did you shoot in the second quarter? And Yi, you did a good job defensively, but I feel like I should hire a shooting coach for you," everyone said. Afraid to speak, Deng Huade touched his forehead, "Okay, take a good rest, in the second half, you throw those damn balls in open positions, Sun, you help He to share the defensive task, I want him to use all his energy on offense .”

In the second half, I don't know if Deng Huade's anger just had an effect. The named Wang Shipeng and Yi Jianlian felt hot as soon as they came up. Wang Shipeng scored two three-pointers in a row, and Yi Jianlian also rushed inside to show his offensive skills and soft touch. .As soon as it came up, the score continued to be stretched, breaking through to double digits again.This group of old men became anxious. Mozkov, who was still present as the third offender, beat Yi Jianlian inside, turned his back, and Yi Jianlian fell to the ground. Seeing the referee's offensive foul gesture, he clenched his fists and roared excitedly. Yi Jianlian was caught by the whole team in the first half. The repressed resentment broke out completely in this offensive foul, and seeing Yi Jianlian so excited, He Yixiang was also happy to pass the ball to him. Yi Jianlian did not live up to He Yixiang's expectations, and scored consecutively on Russia's substitute insider, with Blatter on the court He roared anxiously and angrily, but his roar could not help Zhukanenko, who came on as a substitute for Motskov. He was too bulky to fight back against Yi Jianlian's attack. Fortunately, the flanking attack from Russia was very Timely, but after Yi Jianlian and He Yixiang need to attack at two points, the offensive space of the Chinese team on the basketball court has been stretched infinitely by them.Wang Zhizhi, a veteran player, also began to exert his residual heat, hitting one after another.

The fourth quarter only started for a while, and with He Yixiang's another three-pointer, the score came to 77-61. Blatter had no choice but to replace all the main players. There will be a fierce battle with Greece tomorrow, and China will also rely on this game to lock They won the top two in the group, thereby avoiding the two terrible opponents of Spain and Lithuania. These two European overlords are not like Russia, but they will play with all the main players. If they meet later, it will be later.After the high-intensity competition in 4 days and 4 games, there was finally a 28-hour break between the last group match, but the last match was against Turkey, the strongest team in the group.

Against Turkey, the Chinese team finally faced a strong European team in complete form. Unlike Greece, the main inside line was suspended, and unlike Russia, the two most important outside lines did not participate.Only 3 minutes into the second half, He Yixiang looked at the big screen display board with very confused eyes. He was 43 points behind at 57:14. He almost played the first half and tried his best. An assist, but helplessly Turkey's offense was smoother, and set off a 17:8 climax in the 2 minutes he was off the field.

Coach Deng Huade has strategically given up on this game. Seeing He Yixiang's confused eyes, Deng Huade smiled. It seems that he must enlighten this young man, otherwise the next game will be difficult: "He, are you because Feeling a bit depressed after losing the game?"

Seeing that it was the coach, He Yixiang nodded quickly: "Well, a little bit." He still respects Deng Huade very much, he trusts himself very much, and directly makes himself the core.

"I have seen the first half of your career, you are very good. You have always been a winner. Alabama high school won two consecutive championships. After returning to China, you won the national championship in China in the first year, and then won the NCAA lore. But let's go Up to now, you have basically encountered no setbacks on the road of basketball. But you are about to enter the NBA, are you confident that you can always win the championship? That is the representative of the highest level of basketball in the world, stronger than James entering the NBA after winning consecutive high school championships Not making the playoffs for two consecutive years is better than Anthony taking 4 teammates who are much worse than your teammates and entering the NBA after winning the championship in 03. Now you have not made it to the finals, so you have to learn to face failure. NBA plays a week Three games, there is not so much time for you to adjust." After finishing speaking, he patted He Yixiang on the head and left. The next game may be against France, so let's study tactics first.
