Chapter 1011 Chapter 1011. Victory in the first battle (5000 words)
After playing for a few minutes, the Spanish team was 8 points behind 6 to 14, and the team failed to score a single attack.
Let’s say it’s a success, it’s only one time that I successfully ran out the tactics, and I was hated by Liu Xiu.
At that time, I thought that the block had no effect, and it would be fine if I didn’t care about it, but who knew that it would develop like this later. Now that block has had a huge blow to their morale.
It doesn't matter if their morale is hit, the key is that their strength has not yet been shown!
After returning from the timeout, the Chinese team has not changed yet. The Spanish team put Navarro at the point guard position and Rudy Fernandez was replaced. The frontcourt trio remained unchanged.
The Spanish team attacked, Fernandez broke through and scored the ball, Gasol circled the pile to avoid Yi Jianlian's pursuit, and before Yao Ming made up, he caught the ball and turned around and made a mid-range shot!
Still didn't play tactics, this ball purely depends on Fernandez's breakthrough ability and Gasol's turning and shooting ability.
Swapping two people is not an opportunity at all.
But there is no way, they must hit the success rate and bite the score.
Offensive and defensive transition, Liu Xiu and Yi Jianlian pick-and-roll attack, Reyes and Navarro one defends Liu Xiu and shoots after the pick-and-roll, the other defends Liu Xiu with a step-back three-pointer, Liu Xiu sticks to Reyes and rushes into the basket against the defense , a high throw on the right side of the three-second zone...hit!
Pau Gasol had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat.
unacceptable!
Their star tactics just now have already tested personal ability.
Liu Xiu can be called a fairy ball!
Scored 7 goals in a row, including two three-pointers, scoring 16 points in a row!
Pau Gasol clapped his hands and signaled his teammates to execute the second adjustment.
Just now, in addition to arranging the star style of play, Raines also arranged adjustments on the defensive end. Whether to implement them depends on the actual situation.
If Liu Xiu really gets up to speed, then execute, otherwise there is no need to panic too much. Although the situation is unfavorable, the game has just begun.
It is precisely because of Reenses' confident attitude that during the timeout, the pressure on the Spanish players was relieved a lot.
Now, it is time to adjust the defensive strategy, and the unstoppable pressure has eased a lot.
But the offensive end was still affected.
Fernandez continued to cooperate with Gasol, Navarro was restrained from the flank, and Jimenez missed a three-pointer when he caught the ball around the top arc!
Jimenez, who has always been stable at the top of the arc, missed the ball very much.
Liu Xiu scored the defensive rebound. Although the Spanish team was annoyed that the goal was missed, they retreated in an orderly manner. Liu Xiu quickly advanced, waved his hand to the back, and began to slow down after rushing through the middle circle. The teammates had a tacit understanding. He ran over at a comfortable speed, and did not follow up in a hurry. The warden was just trying to consume the opponent's physical strength.
The scene just now looked spectacular from the perspective of onlookers, and there was a sense of déjà vu that Liu Xiu was chasing the five people on the opposite side.
The teammates set up their positions, Liu Xiu approached the three-point line, Navarro expanded to defend, 193 cm tall, 91 kg tonnage, agile and flexible, and strong defensive enthusiasm... Liu Xiu pouted sideways and pushed Navarro set aside.
Navarro was convinced. A master who was extremely flamboyant and counterattacked and played a super-long tomahawk with a step inside the free throw line, he could actually play so...cautiously.
Navarro expanded so far to defend, and the positions of other Spanish defensive players also changed. Gasol, Fernandez, Jimenez, and Reyes stood a little below the free throw line at the basket, almost putting the high post Cut from the inner line.
One-three-one defense!
It is extremely difficult to play well, the requirements for frame protection are extremely high, and the coordination ability of the three front and back line players in the free throw line area requires higher coordination!
This too obvious zone defense, Liu Xiu can tell at a glance, it is a zone defense that my big Chinese team can't afford.
He didn't hesitate, and plunged into the opponent's defense.
This can't fix the Spanish players, they defend the one-three-one zone defense! It's impossible for the warden not to know the defense?
Even if you don’t know the zone defense, there are so many people around!
Although they don't understand, they are professional. The encirclement is formed quickly, the passing line is cut off, and the advance and retreat routes are blocked.
Liu Xiu made a sudden stop in the crowd and took off with all his strength before being tagged...jumping and passing the ball! Point the ball to the right sideline!
Reyes in the direction of passing the ball struggled to take off, but still failed to touch the ball, Liu Xiu jumped too high!
Zhu Fangyu took a step back after catching the ball inside the three-point line, took off, and shot a three-pointer from the right sideline...hit!
To deal with higher-end tactics, the simpler methods must be adopted.
Liu Xiu saw the expression of the opposite player's face, and the depression of the 'Kobe time' being interrupted instantly dissipated.
The Spanish players are really crazy!
Is there something wrong with their defense?
Defense is very good!
But the opponent is the one who can jump so high and pass the ball most accurately in their 4-to-1 defensive circle, what else can they do?
Can only get back the scene on the offensive end!
Pau Gasol pulled Yao Ming out, and Fernandez rushed inside with the ball and hit Yi Jianlian 2+1, chasing the score to 11 to 19, and biting the score.
Offensive and defensive transition, Liu Xiu advanced to the frontcourt and was stuck, the opposite side was still defending the one-three-one zone defense, Liu Xiu lobbed the ball to the low position on the left side of the three-second zone, and then pulled it to the right 30-degree angle area, holding his hips to adjust his breathing .
Facing Gasol's enveloping defense, Yao Ming turned continuously and had no shooting space, but got a stride space, pressing up against Gasol to put the ball into the basket.
Reenseth on the sidelines let out a sigh of relief. He knew that they had lost control of the rhythm, and it would be more and more difficult to play as a team. They could only compete with their opponents for stars!
The only thing he is lucky about is that the attacking rhythm of the opposing team has a high probability of collapsing.
He believes in his players, he has Pau Gasol! There is Fernandez! There Navarro!
In the next few rounds, in the face of Yao Ming's single-point attack, even if the Spanish team adjusted the zone defense to a two-three zone defense, it would not help. Yao Ming is too tall and has a good vision. level.
The Spanish team has only two options for this. Either let Yao Ming play Gasol one-on-one; or they can only play two or three defenses to limit Yao Ming. Yi Jianlian, who cuts to eat the cake, and the COSCO shooters on the extension line at a 45-degree angle on both sides always have shooting opportunities.
After Yao Ming made a few chisels, Liu Xiu came back and continued to attack...
The scoring efficiency of the Chinese team is definitely not as outrageous as Liu Xiu scored 16 points in the beginning, but it still maintains a very high level.
Star singles are the most efficient means of attack, which is fully demonstrated by Liu Xiu and Yao Ming!
However, for the Spanish team, the players did not disappoint Reenses.
Navarro, Fernandez, and Gasol were the main attackers, and they withstood the impact of the Chinese team.
But at the beginning, there were only the three of them, together with Gimenez, who was good in physical fitness and shooting but not good in mental quality, and Reyes, whose offense mainly focused on cutting into the frame, was not the opponent of Liu Xiu and Yao Ming in singles.
Yi Jianlian's excellent cut and pie, Zhu Fangyu's top-level three-pointers, and Wang Shipeng's COSCO shots are all at an excellent level. Coupled with Liu Xiu and Yao Ming's singles, the offensive firepower is obviously better.
So Reensez replaced Garbajosa and Calderon early, and Calderon has an open shot. There were two 180 clubs in the NBA last season, one was Nash, and the other was Calderon.
Garbajosa can eat cakes in scoring, catch three-pointers from outside, can follow up counterattacks, and has a wide range of scoring.
These five played the second half of the quarter.
After the first quarter, relying on Navarro to rush inside to help Gasol complete an alley-oop layup, 33 to 42, the Spanish team narrowed the point difference to single digits again!
…
Liu Xiu made 9 of 11 shots in the first quarter, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 23 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in a single quarter, setting a new record for Olympic men's basketball in a single quarter!
It is also the first ever Olympic single quarter 20+!
But Liu Xiu’s performance, the Chinese team still failed to continue to widen the point difference... The five players on the opposite side who played from the first quarter to the end were all NBA players, and they were at least the main substitute level.
However, the coaching staff of the Chinese team and the players with strong situational analysis ability all know that this time, the advantage really lies with me!
After one quarter of the game, the tactics played by the serious team of the Chinese team can be counted on one hand, and the team's offense was collapsed.
But the other side also collapsed!
Reences is 'lucky' that the rhythm of the Chinese team's team attack will also collapse, and Liu Xiu's goal after scoring 3 goals in the opening is to disrupt the team's offensive rhythm of the Spanish team and drag the game into a star-to-star attack .
Although it is not a good thing for our own team to collapse offensively, the Chinese team tried it in the World Championships the year before last. It is that Calderon, Garbajosa and others are not so good, and there is no end point when they cooperate.
It's different now, the Spanish team has a strong lineup!
So, Liu Xiu scored 3 goals in a row to start the "Kobe time" and decided to give it a go. After forcing the opponent to compete with the stars, he pulled Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi who came off the bench to continue the star confrontation.
This strategy is Liu Xiu's recollection of Yi Jianlian's analysis of the US team's game against Iran in the afternoon. Every team, if they are 10 points behind by the opponent's onslaught at the beginning, will choose the strongest one to stand up and stabilize. The situation is inevitable for the Spanish team with such a powerful star as Gasol.
Before playing in the Olympics for the first time, he asked the famous club star Sabonis to ask what he needs to pay attention to in the World Series.
The other party did not give any advice on tactics or style of play, but talked about the differences between the World Series and the NBA.
Liu Xiu’s deepest impression is that he may fight once every two years, or even fight once and never fight again for the rest of his life, so if there is any improvisation or short-term adjustment that is confident that it will be effective, just do it!
I don’t use it this time, and I may never have a chance to use it again in my lifetime.
A good strategy is not to hide it as a 'bottom-of-the-box tactic'. It is really good if it can be used.
Liu Xiu reviewed the first quarter. In fact, if the Spanish team did not rush to adjust their offense, they would get through the start steadily. Although they might fall behind by more than a dozen points, the opposing head coach would certainly not be as anxious as he is now.
This also means that if you play against the Spanish team again next time, this trick will not work well... But it doesn't matter, I have already played a very clear advantage tonight!
What makes him most happy is the strength of the national team, which has really improved qualitatively compared to two years ago!
Good strategy, use it, and effective execution depend on strength! The strength of hard steel Spain is not at all cowardly!
…
After finally narrowing the point difference to single digits to end the first quarter, Reences was very happy, but the pressure on the players was even greater.
In the second quarter, the Spanish players simply couldn’t play teamwork patiently. Whenever the Chinese team scored, the Spanish players would choose the most efficient way to score—continue to score stars.
This is a very good method, with Gasol as the core, Fernandez and Navarro scoring singles, when necessary, Gasol will come to a few, the effect is very good, once narrowed the point difference to two points, played a wave 8 to 2.
It’s just that Zhu Fangyu scored 3 three-pointers in a row, hitting a wave of 9 to 4, and the point difference returned to 7 points.
After such a wave of tension, the Spanish team relied more on the style of star knocking. Reenses struggled, but in the end he chose to continue to deploy star singles tactics. Although he felt that this was not good at first, he proved it at least. This style of play has the potential to be reversed.
The greatest impact on the Spanish team is their defense!
The 9587 match was a sensation not only in the NBA, but that game was called "the greatest one-on-one single in basketball history". As the winner, Liu Xiu, who scored 95 points in a single game, scored 23 points in the first quarter tonight...Spain The team players really can't calm down!
Starting the second quarter, Liu Xiu mainly focused on attracting defense, and didn't necessarily need to get assists. He was mainly responsible for helping his teammates score, and winning was the top priority.
In the second quarter, the Spanish team scored 31 points, and the Chinese team also scored 30 points.
In the second half, the Spanish team tried to make adjustments in the third quarter, but after playing for a while, they returned to their old ways, because they did not play well in trying to play the team offense. Unfortunately, the halftime break failed to allow them to regain their rhythm. Continue to smash stars.
In this quarter, the scoring efficiency of the Chinese team has come down, but Liu Xiu has no problem. During the intermission, he drank the "special vegetable juice made by an exclusive nutritionist". The main reason is that his teammates began to decline in physical strength and efficiency.
The field is smaller, more confrontational, and the rules are more 'primitive', which consumes more than playing NBA games.
But the scoring efficiency dropped even more, it was the Spanish team!
At the beginning of the third quarter, I tried to play a team offense, but in more than 3 minutes, I only scored two points with free throws.
The Chinese team only scored 23 points in the third quarter, and the Spanish team only scored 19 points!
95 to 83, after three quarters, the Chinese team successfully opened the point difference to 12 points!
At the end of the quarter, the Spanish team had no choice but to fight.
But the first three quarters were full, Gasol, who scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, was weak in the final quarter!
The physical exertion was too serious, and the rest between the quarters was delayed for a few minutes. Instead, the physical strength that Gasol was holding on at the end of the third quarter collapsed. The starting strength was insufficient, the confrontation strength was insufficient, and the shooting strength was insufficient...
After playing for a few minutes, Reenses could only replace Gasol with a blushing face, and replace Gasol Jr. who had been on the bench for more than three quarters.
Junior Gasol was numb. Before the game, he wanted to surprise the future boss, kill him, avenge the abuse he suffered two years ago, and avenge the recovery healed this year. By the way, he also wanted to prove his strength.
As a result, the boss is too fierce!
Same as my brother, the boss spent the whole time without a break. He made 14 of 20 shots, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 37 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks!
And he has only appeared on the stage until now.
Looking at the scene that even his brother couldn't solve, Gasol didn't have the idea of revenge on the boss before the game at all. He is panicking now!
On the other side, Liu Xiu felt that the opportunity to seal the victory had arrived!
If Liu Xiu remembers correctly, the Spanish team without Pau Gasol is probably in the fifth or sixth place in Europe. It's not weak, but it's not a strong team.
In the original time and space, the Spanish team won the World Championships in 2006 when Pau Gasol was injured, because the Greek team also suffered from injuries, and the overall state of the Greek team in the final was extremely poor. to 47 points.
In the 2010 European Championships, Gasol did not play, and the Spanish team stopped in the quarterfinals of the European Championships.
Seeing that Gasol was replaced, Liu Xiu was much less worried about being turned over.
Gasol softened, and the Spanish team scored fewer points in the final quarter, but the Chinese team's score also dropped seriously. After 4 minutes in the final quarter, the Chinese team scored 4 points and the Spanish team scored 6 points. Shrunk by two points.
But the pressure has become smaller, but there is no carelessness!
Liu Xiu became more focused because of this!
After a timeout, the Spanish team attacked, and Gasol attacked inside!
The more afraid you are, the more you want to show your strength so that you can find confidence and deter your opponents.
And Gasol wants to win...
But unfortunately, although Gasol Jr. turned around under the defense of Wang Zhizhi and got a hook, he was slapped on the backboard!
Liu Xiu emptied Rubio, who was replaced, and gave Gasol a pegboard cap!
The ball was missed, and after some scrambling, Du Feng grabbed the ball and passed it to Liu Xiu.
The opportunity to counterattack is gone, Liu Xiu advances to the frontcourt, Gasol is replaced, and the Spanish team's defense has already dispersed.
Accompanied by the referee's whistle, Liu Xiu made a head-on throw and hit the board. Two points were valid and he was given an additional penalty!
"MVP...MVP...MVP..."
Amid the frenzied cheers of the fans, Liu Xiujia made a free throw, and his personal score increased to 40 points, and at the same time defeated the last little confidence of the Spanish team!
102 to 89, the point difference came to 13 points!
In the remaining few minutes, there was no vigorous counterattack, and it was still difficult for the two teams to score. At this time, both sides wanted to retreat quickly, squat under the basket, and block the opponent who scored the most points.
Spain defends Liu Xiu and China defends Navarro.
Others really can't make it.
Liu Xiu feels that Calderon is the worst tonight. Although Calderon's shots are mainly open shots, they need to hold the ball. He may not stick to the ball, but he is the core style of play and is used as a three-pointer. Up to now, not only has the rhythm of organizing the offense gone, but I can't find the feeling of shooting.
In the rest of the time, the Chinese team scored 8 points, two of which were scored by Liu Xiu's tip-ups, and the Spanish team scored 7 points, failing to narrow the point difference.
In the end, Liu Xiu made 16 of 24 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 42 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, leading the Chinese team to a 110-96 victory over the Spanish team!
