NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 116 Olympic gold medal, Wang Chong won MVP!

The first application of small ball tactics can be said to be very effective. It can be clearly seen that this tactical play has a restraining effect on zone defense.

Moreover, the lineup of the Dream Sixth Team is indeed suitable for this tactic. In addition to the five-man list given by Wang Chong, most of the players in the team can also adapt to this style of play. For example, Sean, the main player of the Suns' future run-and-gun tactic, Marion, Lakers left-handed magician Lamar Odom, and Carlos Boozer are all players who can fit the center position in small-ball tactics.

In other words, Duncan and Emeka Okafor are relatively less mobile players in the Dream Six Team. Of course, the poor mobility mentioned here is only relative to other teammates on the same team. Compared with centers from other national teams in the International League, Duncan and Okafor are obviously much more athletic.

In the last round of the group stage, the American men's basketball team faced Angola. This could be regarded as the weakest opponent in the entire group stage. The dream team had no suspense. It defeated Angola by 97:51 by 46 points, once again proving the American dream. The team’s terrifying dominance in the world arena.

This game was also a game where small ball tactics shined. Duncan played for only 18 minutes. The team made large-scale personnel rotation adjustments many times in order to test which players were suitable for this fast-paced tactical play.

The result made Larry Brown very satisfied. As expected, except for Duncan and Okafor, the other ten players of the Dream Team can basically adapt to this style of play, and this tactical play can be very good. Make the most of the players' strengths and characteristics.

Even someone as stubborn as Larry Brown can't help but feel a little admiration for Wang Chong.

"How did this kid... come up with this idea?"

It’s not surprising that he was surprised. If Wang Chong was a veteran who had been in the league for more than ten years and had rich game experience, he wouldn’t be too surprised to have such a vision. After all, most head coaches in the league were professionals when they were young. players.

But Wang Chong is different. The 03-04 season that just ended was Wang Chong's first season in the league.

Larry Brown has always disliked rookies because he feels that rookies have little game experience, poor tactical execution ability, and are easily carried away by impulse on the field.

He never expected that Wang Chong, a first-year rookie, would not only directly cause his Pistons to lose the championship in the finals, but also teach him a lesson in the Olympics! ——

The American men's basketball team achieved a complete victory in the group stage and ranked first in the group stage. This has greatly changed the original history. They should have been fourth in the group and entered the knockout rounds. They became the first in the group. This directly changed the quarterfinal matchup. list.

In the quarter-finals, the American men's basketball team will directly face the fourth-ranked team in Group B, which is China.

This script is indeed a bit dramatic. Even Wang Chong did not expect that he would actually have to compete head-on with the Chinese men's basketball team on the court.

This is a bit embarrassing.

After all, they were half of his own team, and they might have to fight side by side in the future. Wang Chong was embarrassed to be too harsh, so he just scored 10 symbolic points and then left the field to play with other players.

The strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is still not strong enough, especially during this period in 04. Dayao has not yet fully reached his peak dominance in the future. Arab League is just a fledgling rookie, and Da Zhi was not able to play with the team because he was banned. .

Even facing the weakest Dream Six team in recent Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team was still unable to resist, especially when the Dream Six team got a little enlightened under Wang Chong's guidance and used full-court press and counterattack fast break tactics. When flying, the Huaguo men's basketball team, which has poor basic skills and confrontation capabilities, simply cannot play on the perimeter.

At 95:71, the American men's basketball team defeated the Chinese men's basketball team in the quarter-finals by 24 points and successfully entered the semi-finals.

As a result, the Chinese men's basketball team stopped in the quarterfinals. Although it is a bit regretful, the quarterfinals have already tied the Chinese men's basketball team's best performance in Olympic history, which is actually considered a success for them.

In particular, Dayao scored 29 points in this game, which was no less impressive than Marbury, who scored 31 points on the Dream Team, which made Chinese fans even more excited.

No matter what, Hua finally has a top NBA player. It will be great if Wang Chong comes back some time! ——

The opponent of the American men's basketball team in the semi-finals is the same as in the original historical process. It is still the Argentine men's basketball team that eliminated them in the semi-finals.

There's no way around it. The opponents during the finals are ranked according to their group stage results.

The first and fourth place in Group A are in the same division as the second and third place in Group B.

The first and fourth place in Group B are in the same division as the second and third place in Group A.

This format ensures that the No. 1 seeded teams in Group AB will not meet before the finals, which is relatively speaking the fairest arrangement.

The U.S. men's basketball team, which was originally fourth in Group A, just met Argentina in the semifinals after defeating Spain, which ranked first in Group A, in the quarterfinals.

Now, although the American men's basketball team has improved from the fourth record in Group A to the first place in Group A, the division has not changed. The opponent in the quarter-finals has changed from Spain to the Chinese men's basketball team, but after entering the semi-finals , facing Argentina, which ranks second in Group B.

The other semi-final matchup is between Spain, the first team in Group B, and Lithuania, the second team in Group A.

This battle with the Argentina men's basketball team is definitely the most difficult battle in the entire Olympics. After all, the opponent is the team that originally won the gold medal in the Athens Olympics, and defeated Argentina, the American dream team, head-on.

Just as Wang Chong expected.

At the beginning of the game, the Argentine men's basketball team gave the Dream Team a start.

Ginobili scored consecutive offenses, leaving the American men's basketball team helpless.

It's right that you don't have the power to parry.

Among the previous opponents of the American men's basketball team, there were no defenders with outstanding personal abilities, so the problem has not yet been highlighted.

But it's different when meeting Argentina. Ginobili's personal ability is quite outstanding. After all, he is a member of the Spurs' GDP combination.

More importantly, let's take a look at who the main defender of the Dream Six Team is.

Iverson, Marbury.

Let’s talk about it, can it be better for these two defenders to play together?

Neither of them is defensive material, and they have no intention of defending at all.

The result was that Ginobili was eager to get what he wanted on the offensive end. He scored 11 points in the first quarter and led the Argentine men's basketball team to suppress the Dream Team.

The Argentine men's basketball team is already a strong international team, and its use of zone defense tactics is also very proficient, which effectively limits the offensive rhythm of the American men's basketball team, especially Iverson. In the first quarter of the game, under Argentina's defense, he made 6 of 1 shots from the field, and his offensive efficiency was high. Extremely low.

Wang Chong couldn't stand it anymore. When he took a break, he couldn't help but suggest to Larry Brown.

"Coach, we have to find a way to limit Ginobili's performance. Let Wade go up and try. His defense is very good and should be able to cause some interference to Ginobili."

In terms of offensive ability, Wade is not necessarily better than either Iverson or Marbury, but in terms of defense, the two of them together may not be as effective as Wade.

At this time, Larry Brown's view of Wang Chong had changed with each game, and the defensive attitudes of Iverson and Marbury really made Brown very dissatisfied, so he did not hesitate. In the second quarter, Wade was replaced to defend Ginobili.

The impact was immediate.

<divclass="contentadv">Of course Wade cannot completely prevent Ginobili, but the defensive interference caused to him is much stronger than that of Iverson and Marbury.

And Brown also took advantage of the situation, replaced Odom and Marion, and directly changed into a fast-paced small ball lineup.

Like the opponents that the American men's basketball team has encountered before, although the Argentine men's basketball team has players with outstanding personal abilities, the full-court press can still impose huge constraints on it.

There will always be people who say in the future that Ginobili at his peak could even rival Kobe Bryant and Wade at their peak.

This statement is pure bragging, why should he? You are obviously capable, but you are willing to be a substitute for the team?

It's as if Ginobili has never played in the starting lineup.

在马刺队，吉诺比利有三个赛季是担任过球队首发主力的，分别是04-05，05-06以及10-11赛季。

But even at his peak, Ginobili never averaged more than 20 points per game in a season.

The so-called sacrificing yourself for the team is just an excuse. Is it reasonable not to let a player score when he can score efficiently?

The fact is that Ginobili's personal abilities are indeed outstanding, but his physical fitness and physical fitness severely restrict his upper limit.

In 20 minutes of game time, Ginobili can compete with Kobe and Wade, but when the game time reaches more than 30 minutes, his physical fitness is not enough to continue to perform efficiently on the court, and his efficiency is like a high platform. Falling down like a dive.

It is for this reason that Ginobili is also called the 20-minute Jordan.

In the Spurs, under Popovich's tactical system, Ginobili was placed on the bench and maximized his own characteristics, so he was highly praised.

But in the Argentine men's basketball team, as the team's first core player, Ginobili certainly cannot come off the bench to strictly control playing time like the Spurs.

If you want to target him, you can still do it as long as the tactics are used properly.

Under Wade's full-court pressing defense, which took no effort in his physical strength, Ginobili, who had been playing for a long time in the first quarter, began to gradually fail. He even started to make mistakes under Wade's pressure, and was intercepted and turned into a fast break counterattack. .

The American men's basketball team took advantage of its mobility to take the initiative in the second quarter and successfully tied the point difference before the end of the half.

Of course, the U.S. men's basketball team catching up with the point difference is inseparable from Wang Chong's initial effort.

No matter how the tactics are arranged, Wang Chong is always almost unsolvable under FIBA ​​rules.

With a height of 2 meters, he mainly plays small forward, giving any team a headache when facing him.

Arranging traditional small forwards to defend Wang Chong, there is no way to stop his shooting. Whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, every shot is accurate.

They can't arrange for players with similar height to Wang Chong to guard him, because players with similar height to Wang Chong are basically the center of their team.

In a zone defense system, how can the center guarding the basket be pulled out to the outside to defend the shooter? Do we still need a zone defense formation?

The result is that when facing Wang Chong, even the Argentine men's basketball team can only arrange a striker over 2 meters tall to defend, betting on Wang Chong's shooting touch.

But how could it be possible that Wang Chong’s touch was not good?

Wang Chong's mid-range shooting ability value has reached as high as 95, and he has multiple golden badges. His mid-range shooting is as stable as an old dog. Even among active players in the NBA, it is difficult to find a few mid-range shooters who are more accurate than him. players.

To be honest, the only ones who may be above him in the field of CIC, at least in Wang Chong's perception, are Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant who are in hot form.

Among others, even Tracy McGrady at his peak had to lean back a little.

In the second quarter of the game, Wang Chong completely penetrated the defense of the Argentine men's basketball team, scoring 8 points on 6 of 15 shots, including 3 three-pointers. Coupled with the fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions of the American men's basketball team, the success It broke Argentina's rhythm.

In the second half of the game, although Argentina launched repeated attacks under the leadership of Ginobili, trying to catch up with the score difference, but no one on the American men's basketball team stepped up to respond every time, especially Wang Chong. They could never find a limit. How could he possibly catch up with the score?

95: 87.

This is the final score after the game between the two teams.

The Argentina men's basketball team lost to the United States men's basketball team by 8 points and stopped in the semi-finals.

The American men's basketball team also successfully advanced to the finals and will face off against the Spanish men's basketball team that defeated Lithuania in the finals.

The victory of the American men's basketball team against the Argentine men's basketball team also made Wang Chong secretly relieved, because it meant that the Dream Six team's biggest difficulty had been overcome.

The Spanish men's basketball team was defeated by the Dream Six team in the original quarter-finals of the 04 Olympic Games. Now the Dream Six team has changed their guns and added Wang Chong, who is like a bug in international leagues. It will definitely be more difficult to win.

However, the Spanish men's basketball team has also made money. They were originally eliminated by the Dream Team in the quarter-finals and did not even win a medal. Now they have entered the finals and won a silver medal as a guarantee.

The most unlucky one is of course Argentina. The original gold medal turned into competing with Lithuania for the bronze medal.

However, for Argentina, who did not know that they would win gold in this Olympics, winning a bronze medal is actually a good result.

There wasn’t much to say about the final either.

The U.S. men's basketball team defeated the Spanish men's basketball team 104:91 and won the gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

In the final, Larry Brown fully implemented the strategic policy of using it to death and gave Wang Chong a lot of power to take action. Wang Chong also lived up to his coach's trust and scored 28 points in the game, second only to the Spanish player. Pau Gasol, who scored 29 points, even had a slightly higher shooting percentage than Gasol.

In the end, Wang Chong became the team's scoring leader with an average of 21.6 points per game, and also won the Olympic Men's Basketball MVP.

The MVP of the Olympic Games is actually of little value and no one will remember it.

But for Wang Chong, this award is crucial, because it is one of the goals of the system release task. Only Wang Chong who gets the MVP can completely complete the system release task.
