MTL - The Rest, Only Noise-v2 Chapter 1470 He's bigger than you think
84 to 75
The men's basketball team beat Yugoslavia without any risk.
Bodi Loga, who has received much attention, made 8 of 12 shots and scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
For Bodi Loga, this performance can only be regarded as qualified, but it is far from meeting the expectations of the outside world for him.
After the game, Bodi Loga said: "We still have a few games to play. This game is just the beginning for us and the Chinese team. We will meet again sooner or later."
Louis gradually discovered that the contradictions in Yugoslavia were not as sharp as he imagined.
Bodi Loga's low tactical status and the low number of shots are due to the egalitarianism of the coaching staff.
And the essence of this egalitarianism is also to allow Serb players and Black players to maintain superficial peace.
That's good news for men's basketball.
If Bodi Loga cannot be used as the absolute core, it is impossible for Yugoslavia to play 100% of the level.
A Yugoslavia that cannot fully utilize Bodiloga's strength does not have the strength to compete for the championship.
After another day's rest, the men's basketball team faced the weakest opponent in Group B - Angola.
In Louie's previous life, the African big brother has always been the experience baby of the men's basketball team on the world stage.
The 96 Golden Generation and the Yao era relied on them to win games, and the Yi era also relied on them to retain the last bit of decency.
Angola has the same problems as all African teams.
First of all, the physical condition of their players can be said to be second only to the United States, but their talents were wasted for various reasons. Furthermore, African players generally have the problems of fighting balloons and poor discipline.
Against Angola, it was the easiest game Louis coached in this Olympic Games.
From the beginning, two steals came up to counterattack, helping the men's basketball team to quickly establish an advantage.
Subsequently, Liu Yuqing and Hu Weidong's outside three-point rain made the suspense disappear.
In the whole game, all 12 players in the men's basketball roster
Played, scored 111 points, and won three consecutive victories in the group stage with a big victory over Angola.
While preparing for the group stage, Louie also watched every team game of the US team.
As he expected, the absolute advantage of the US team is still on the flanks.
In the dream team back then, the U.S. team had a dominant striker and inside line, but now, the inside line of the older generation is no longer able to fight, while the inside line of the new generation is not so suitable for FIBA games.
People like Hank Geithers are typical, stars in the NBA, and excellent insiders in FIBA.
Others, like Vin Baker, Antonio McDyess, and Alonzo Mourning, generally have more or less problems, either offensively strong and defensively weak, or the style of the collar is not dominant, or the size is too small, In FIBA, it is easy to be overwhelmed by big centers.
Kevin Garnett is the most balanced one, but in the NBA, he is used to swinging between the four and three positions.
During the Lakers' four consecutive championships, he either served as Barkley's power forward, or served as Duncan's power forward, and sometimes swung to the small forward.
Of course, Louie would also let him play center, but most of that came from the 1996-97 season with Barkley. After Duncan arrived, Garnett was fixed at the fourth position.
In other words, the US team has the most talented insider, the most versatile insider, and the most super-giant insider, who is not used to being a center forward.
The interior lost its dominance, and the back line also made Rudy Tomjanovich anxious.
Both Gary Payton and Jason Kidd are players with unstable baskets. In FIBA games where zone defenses can be seen everywhere, their breakthrough threat plummeted, but their shortcomings of poor shooting were magnified.
Of course, the team has a lot of hidden dangers, but the US team also won three consecutive group matches just like the men's basketball team.
After all, the overall strength is still there. To overturn, not only the Americans need to play a bad ball, but also their opponents need to be in a hot state.
The next opponent of the men's basketball team is Spain.
Louis looked at the Spanish team's roster and found that
Two familiar Spanish players, Carlos Navarro and Jorge Garbajosa, were replaced.
Today's world basketball structure belongs to one super and two strong.
The US team dominates, followed by China and Yugoslavia.
But the beginning of the century, when the world's basketball talents exploded, will soon change this pattern.
Just like this Spain, it seems that it is just an ordinary European team, but a few years later, when the man named Gasol leads Spain's golden generation to the stage, the existing pattern will be broken.
Louis believes that with the current strength of the men's basketball team, they can completely defeat Spain by relying on hard power. Therefore, what he needs to do is to let the players train well and sleep well.
During the Olympics, Louie imposed a curfew. This is consistent with the philosophy of Jiang Xingquan, the leader of the men's basketball team.
As the most concerned group of people on the Chinese team, neither Louis nor Jiang Xingquan want men's basketball players to mess around in the Olympic Village like athletes from other countries.
Louis checked Chengyan's room, and he and Liu Yuqing got together.
When Louis came, Qi Chengyan was joking with the second brother's helmet distributed by the organizer.
Lu Yi looked at the unusable helmet pinched by Qi Chengyan speechlessly, "How old are you, still playing with this?"
Qi Chengyan joked: "Coach, I also want to find someone to experience it, but didn't the team leader forbid us to play around?"
"Stop rambling, turn off the lights and go to sleep. Tomorrow's game is very important." Louis went from room to room, making sure everyone was asleep before going back to rest.
September 23
In the fourth game of the group stage, the men's basketball team played against Spain.
In the first quarter, the men's basketball coaching staff was frightened into a cold sweat by the Spaniard's touch.
Spain's veteran Alberto Herreros (SF) hit back-to-back three-pointers. In the opening game, the men's basketball team fell behind by 10 points.
In the second quarter, Louis adjusted the lineup, took down Wang Zhizhi, who was not feeling good, and Yu Tiancan, who was constantly being used for pick-and-roll military training, replaced Yao Yueban, let Kang Chengbiao partner with him, and then matched with Du Shuai, Liu Yuqing and Liu Yuqing. Wei.
At the same time, Louis expressed the highest respect for Herreros, who was in an explosive state-letting Kang Chengbiao, who had previously been effective in defending Bodi Loga alone, go to the periphery to bite him.
Like Kang Chengbiao, who plays from the first position to the fourth position and is as difficult to deal with as a mad dog on the defensive end, Green, the domestic chasing egg, is an excellent candidate.
If Louis wants to completely limit the opponent's outside line, he will use Chengyan. But if you want to mess with the other party's mentality, Kang Chengbiao
is the most suitable.
Decades of coaching experience have convinced Louis that it is meaningless to use a top defensive player to match up a shooter who is explosive at the beginning of the game. It is better to find a dead pigskin and hob meat to disgust him.
Kang Chengbiao is definitely the most unpopular player in the entire Chinese team.
He has a mouth of a machine gun and an extremely strong body. He likes to fight and make small moves, and he has an innate sense of the dead corner of the court. Therefore, when he makes dirty moves against Herreros, the referee often does not notice. .
"As expected of a man who single-handedly defends Bodiloga!" Louis praised Brother Biao from the sidelines.
Herreros misfired.
Subsequently, Yao Yueban, who was only 20 years old, stood on the highest stage at the national level and completely dominated the Spanish giant Roberto Duenas (RobertoDue?asC).
This Duenas is by no means an ordinary person. He was selected in the 1997 draft, but he has never landed in the NBA. He has played in the European League all his career. Showcasing the best form of his career, he defeated Yu Tiancan, and used confrontation to knock Wang Zhizhi out of touch. Unexpectedly, he was restrained by a college student.
Yao Yueban came up with a pick-and-roll with Liu Wei, shot outside the three-point line, and sanctioned Duenas with a long-range three-pointer.
Afterwards, in the frontal confrontation in the low position, Yao Yueban showed dreamy dance steps, Xiao Huang, Da Huang, half turned around and inserted a small hook to hit the board.
As long as Yao Yue holds the ball halfway, Spain will lose points.
he can't prevent
Go, even a half-cut basket can't be saved, even if it's a head-to-head single defense, Yao Yueban has enough rich skills to destroy his defense.
The flexibility of Yao Yueban, a giant tower of the same 220 cm level, makes Duenas look like a patient with gigantism~www.novelbuddy.com~ It can be said that Duenas’ defensive collapse is due to Spain’s change in momentum The key node of decline.
Every Spanish player believes that Duenas can defend the penalty area for them.
Duenas did come close, too.
He overwhelmed two of the three Great Walls by himself, but finally fell in front of Yao Yueban.
Yao Yue, who came off the bench, overwhelmed Duenas in half, scored 22 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks, helping the men's basketball team to turn defeat into victory before halftime, and laid the foundation for a 26-point victory over the opponent.
"Coach Lu, what do you think of Yao's performance?"
"What's so surprising about that?" Louie joked.
Asked, "From 1998 to 2000, the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft was waiting for him. He locked the No. 1 pick for three consecutive years. What kind of talent is this? This kind of performance is a matter of course for him. You should get used to this kind of Yao as soon as possible. , He is greater than you imagine."
This game can be regarded as Yao Yueban's battle to become famous on the international stage.
The Chinese team has won four consecutive victories, and the last game in the group stage is left.
Even so, the men's basketball team still hasn't locked in the first place in the group, because their last opponent in the group stage is the dark horse in Group B, the Canadian team that also won all four games.
