My template is really center

Chapter 150 Three against the US team!

"In some respects, the configuration of the Chinese team's starting lineup may be more suitable for international competitions than the US team's starting lineup!"

After watching Xu Lang's game yesterday, Reggie Miller was immediately amazed.

Before this game, Reggie Miller only regarded Xu Lang as a top 3D player and a shooting guard with certain singles ability. He never thought that learning from Xu Lang would become a player who can control the court.

This is also when the Eagles traded Joe Johnson for Xu Lang, the No. [-] pick. Reggie Miller was actually a member who was not optimistic about the deal.

But looking at it now, it seems that the Eagles' management really has a unique vision. They have selected a magician-level rookie player for themselves.

"Speaking of the last game, Xu Lang's passing ability and field control ability seemed to be more like the successor of Magic Johnson than LeBron James."

"I think it's not very appropriate to set Xu Lang's template as LeBron James now."

"After all, LeBron James, who has been playing in the league for three years, has not shown the top field control and passing ability like Xu Lang."

"Even, in my opinion, LeBron James is more like an enhanced version of Scottie Pippen than a player like a magician."

Obviously, after Xu Lang showed more powerful weapons and potential, the metaphor that people jokingly compared him to a rookie player at the level of LeBron James slowly became true, and even LeBron James began to It became a little unworthy of Xu Lang.

While talking about Xu Lang and LeBron James in the commentary booth, the players of the US team and the Chinese team also began to enter the field to warm up!

"Xu Lang!"

"Xu Lang!"

"Xu Lang!"

"Yi Jianlian!"

"Yi Jianlian!"

"Yi Jianlian!"

"Yao Ming!"

"Yao Ming!"

"Yao Ming!"

Like the previous game, the Chinese team continued to enjoy the cheers at home in this game, and even because the last game was so good, the enthusiasm of today's Chinese fans is even higher!
After a period of warm-up, the two teams submitted their starting lineups at the same time.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team:
Xu Lang, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Team USA starting lineup:
Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James.

I don't know if it was intentional on Coach K's side. LeBron James, who had been at the small forward or power forward position before, was placed at the point guard position in this game.

Carmelo Anthony was mentioned as the starting small forward.

Looking at the starting lineup of the US team, it can be said that the top rookies of the 03 generation gave Bao Yuan the starting lineup.

At the same time, there are two No. [-] picks in the entire starting lineup of the US team, which is equivalent to the two No. [-] picks on the Chinese team.

After the two teams submitted their starting lineup lists, the game is about to begin.

Midfield jump ball, Yi Jianlian has always been invincible jump ball, but this time he met his opponent.

Because the player who made the jump ball with Yi Jianlian was Dwight Howard, a physical monster who could become the No. 04 pick in the NBA in [-] just by virtue of his physical fitness.

In the end, Dwight Howard, who bounced better, had the same excellent height and wingspan, and had more jumping experience than Yi Jianlian, helped the US team get the first offensive ball in this game.

Fortunately, for the players of the Chinese team, they also expected that Yi Jianlian would lose this jump ball in advance. After all, the opponent is the US team.

So although Yi Jianlian failed to jump the ball, the Chinese team's defensive positioning was not chaotic.

This made the jump ball fast break initiated by the US team eagerly unsuccessful.

The jump ball and fast break tactics were learned by the old coach K from the University of Washington.

After all, in the past year, the University of Washington's jump ball success rate was close to 100%, and the jump ball fast break success rate was close to 90%, which made the jump ball offensive tactics popular in the NCAA!
Now holding a group of lineups that are much better than Duke University, coach K will naturally not let go of the opportunity to repay him with his own way!

However, what coach K did not expect was that the players in his hands had changed, but the teammates of Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian had also changed.

In the case that Yao Ming does not need to jump the ball and can land in the defensive position of the penalty area in advance.

The only player in the entire lineup of the Chinese team who may not have time to settle is gone!
Naturally, the defense of the entire Chinese team was placed, far exceeding what coach K had originally expected.

When the U.S. team just advanced the basketball to two steps beyond the three-point line, the defensive positions of all the players of the entire Chinese team have been completed.

Then and this time the Chinese team's defense is not the one-two-two defensive position when facing the Italian team, but has become a two-three defense.

Xu Lang and Sun Yue occupied the positions of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left and right sides respectively, and stepped on the three-point line with one foot, expanding the overall defensive area to half a step away from the three-point line.

The defensive position will be readjusted to the normal zone defense state. On the one hand, it is because the opponent is the US team after all in this game. Xu Lang can't guarantee that he can guard half of the field by himself just as easily as he did against the Italian team. !
On the other hand, after seeing the roster of the US team, Jonas immediately discovered a lineup problem that was somewhat flawed in the US team lineup.

That is, this American team seems to lack a three-point shooter.

Among the entire lineup of the US team, the only stable three-point shooter is Sean Battier.

Although not all of the eleven players on the other teams have the ability to shoot three-pointers, none of them are good at shooting three-pointers.

Although the FIBA's three-point line is 1m shorter than the NBA's, the FIBA's three-point line is actually a bit like the NBA's two-point line.

This makes the US team's problem seem to have little impact.

But there is a premise that the US team's opponents cannot expand their defensive area to the NBA level!

Obviously, the Chinese team is the opponent that can do this.

Yao Ming sits on the inside, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu guard the left and right flanks, Xu Lang and Sun Yue expand to defend beyond the three-point line.

Jonas feels that at least the starting lineup of the Chinese team can expand the defensive area to the NBA level.
