My template is really center

Chapter 160 Advance to the final!
With a height of 2m26 and the same wingspan as his height, Yao Ming only needs to step up, and his shooting point is already much higher than that of many outside players.

What's more, Yao Ming is not a center player with no breakthrough ability at all. If the outside players who defend Yao Ming take off early and try to intercept Yao Ming's shot.

Then Yao Ming can take advantage of the trend to drop the ball, avoid the outside players who are coming to defend, and complete a mid-range emergency stop jump shot after a breakthrough.

Or directly rely on the jumping outside players, causing a foul by the opponent and making one or three free throws.

Such a strange style of play made the Chinese team's offensive efficiency suppressed by the Greek team to less than 50% in the first three quarters of the game, and it returned to more than 50% in the fourth quarter.

Then, the score gap between the two teams began to slowly widen.

Although, Spanoulis is still trying to control the rhythm of the game, trying to maintain the offensive and defensive system of the entire Greek team.

But as Yao Ming made two of two shots from outside the three-point line, Xu Lang grabbed three offensive rebounds in the penalty area and completed two second offenses.

After half of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team has widened the gap between the two teams to eight points.

And this is obviously not the end, because the Greek team has not completely given up on this game.

As a result, the Chinese team also continued to keep Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming and other starting lineups on the court.

This has led to a widening gap between the two teams.

At the end of the game, the Chinese team won the semi-finals with a 12-point lead, and at the same time created a new record for the Chinese team in the World Championships, at least No.2 in the World Championships!
As an important player for the Chinese team to break the deadlock at the last moment, Yao Ming made 4 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line in the fourth quarter. Nine points.

What's more, the three-pointer is not the only way for Yao Ming to score in this quarter. Relying on his threat from outside the three-point line, Yao Ming can also use mid-range shots after fake shots to get offensive opportunities from time to time.

Not only that, Yao Ming also successfully made a three-point foul by making a jump shot from beyond the three-point line, and got three free throw opportunities.

And with Yao Ming's free throw ability being more accurate than most outside players, these three free throws were naturally three free throws and three free throws, which added another three points to his scoring data!
Finally, in the fourth quarter of the game, Yao Ming scored a super high score of 7 points in only 14 shots.

It can only be said that the three-pointer is indeed much better than other offensive methods in terms of scoring data!
At the same time, when Yao Ming, the center, shines on the outside, Xu Lang, the outside player who replaced Yao Ming and became the inside rebounder of the Chinese team, is also full of data!

Xu Lang, who basically became an inside player in the fourth quarter, relied on his rebounding ability, which was obviously not like a defender, and also scored eight points and seven rebounds in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. 7 assists.

Three of the assists were provided by Yao Ming. Xu Lang found out that playing with a top center who can shoot, he can get assists as easily as drinking water.

In addition to Xu Lang's impressive assist data, Xu Lang's rebound data is also very good.

An outside player got 8 rebounds in a single quarter, and 5 of them were offensive rebounds. Don't say that this rebounding ability rests on an outside player, even if it is separated from an inside player. performance!

That is to say, relying on these five offensive rebounds, although Xu Lang did not have a single offensive in the last quarter of the game, he still scored a high score of 8 points.

And these eight points were all completed by Xu Lang's second attack after grabbing an offensive rebound.

This also made Xu Lang's shooting rate in the last quarter of the game directly reach a terrifying [-]% state.

It can only be said that Spanoulis, who scored 23 points, two rebounds and 11 assists in this game, has done his best.

Even in the eyes of many people, if it wasn't for the last quarter of the game, coach Jonas suddenly came up with a weird pick-and-roll tactic between Xu Lang and Yao Ming.

In this game, it is very likely that Spanoulis will really lead the Greek team to complete the final Jedi comeback.

As for the Chinese team, they played such a wonderful game in the last quarter, but they played a miraculous tactic.

While making many people feel astonished, it also made many NBA coaches full of interest in the pick-and-roll tactics between the big center who can shoot three-pointers and the point guard who can grab rebounds.

You must know that in recent years, the major rules of the NBA have been constantly changing in favor of outside players. It is becoming more and more difficult for inside players to continue to dominate as they did in the 90s in this era.

At the same time, the threshold for super insiders has become higher and higher.

At least among the current NBA players, apart from O'Neal and Yao Ming, no center can be called a superstar.

Even Howard, who was selected to the US national team this year, is only considered a super blue-collar player in the NBA.

After all, a player whose upper limit is at most a weakened version of Uncle Mu cannot be called a superstar anyway.

At least a superstar-level center player can't just eat cakes on the offensive end, or can only rely on the offensive methods that come with physical talent to complete the offense.

Such a center player is destined to be impossible to become a player that a top team can rely on at critical moments.

And if a player is not the first choice that his team can rely on at critical moments, then how can he be said to be a superstar!

Of course, if Howard can bring his blue-collar temperament to the level of Uncle Mu, then he will inevitably occupy a place in the center position.

But the prerequisite is that he can also have the career length of Uncle Mu that makes many center forwards.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Howard to reach the level of super centers like Yao Ming and O'Neal.

And under the NBA's current rules that are obviously becoming more and more unfriendly to inside players.

In addition to super insiders, how to find new outlets for other inside players in the future, not just becoming a blue-collar center who grabs rebounds and defends, has always been a question that many teams and coaches are thinking about.

After all, super insiders are not so easy to appear. Generally, there are only 2 to 3 in an era. The four major center eras spanned two eras before they were fully assembled.

And the pick-and-roll cooperation between Yao Ming and Xu Lang in this game gave some teams and coaches who had no way to have super insiders found a new possibility.

Although an inside player, if this kind of outside shooting-based style of play appears in the NBA, there is a high probability that fans or so-called famous players will call him a soft center.

But compared to being called a softie, not having enough offensive ability and tactical status will obviously have a greater impact on a center player.

In addition, in the 2006 NBA Finals, Dirk Nowitzki used his style of play, which has been criticized as soft, to tell all the inside players.

If you can shoot a world from the outside, it is not impossible to become a top-paid player.

Therefore, Avery Johnson, who was beaten by the Heat last season, is the coach who is most excited about the tactics shown by the Chinese team in this game!
"Sure enough, my tactical system is feasible, it's just missing a point guard who can grab rebounds and control the field at the master level."

Avery Johnson looked at his outside players, and was already thinking about those players who could help him trade for a top-level rebounding master!

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with the Chinese team now.

All the Chinese fans, the players of the Chinese team, and the leaders of the basketball management center are all focused on one thing now.

That means the Chinese team has entered the final, and the Chinese team may win the championship this year.

You must know that among the three major sports in China, except for volleyball, the other two have never proved themselves in the international arena.

But this time in the World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team is making basketball an event that may become the second among the three major sports to reach the top of the world arena.

At the same time, if this year's Chinese basketball really reaches the top, it means that among the three major ball sports in China, there will be only the last football left, which is still in an awkward position.

Chinese football: (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c) is the champion as soon as you come up, and let people live, forget it, just lie down, forget it,

After the Chinese team was confirmed to enter the final stage, another opponent on the final stage of the Chinese team was also quickly determined.

That is the Spanish team that defeated Argentina with an 11-point lead.

(In real life, in this game in Spain, Pau Gasol was injured, which caused the Spanish team and the Argentine team to fight until the last moment to decide the winner.

But for the excitement of the final, in the book, Pau Gasol led the Spanish team to beat the Argentine team by a big score and made it to the final with a complete state. I hereby explain. )
"At the same time, the double-digit teams of the US team will meet in the finals, so, can it be said that the US team is the final ticket for this World Championship!"

The Chinese team defeated the top four opponents with a double-digit lead and advanced to the final. The Spanish team also defeated the opponent with a double-digit lead and advanced to the final.

At least in terms of leading their opponents, the two teams are at the same level.

This means that the intensity of the competition in this year's final is likely to be the highest in the World Championships in recent years!

After all, in the previous World Championships, as long as the U.S. team finally entered the finals, most of the time, it was the U.S. team's three-quarter match that determined the final victory.

This makes the finals of the past few World Championships obviously not very exciting and intense.

But this year is different. The Chinese team and the Spanish team, which have defeated the US team in the group stage and the knockout stage respectively, are destined to contribute a wonderful and fierce duel to all the audience and fans in the final.

And before the finals start, there are still some teams that have to play a dozen qualifying matches.

For example, the U.S. team, which was eliminated by Spain in the quarter-finals, finally ended this year's World Championships with fifth place after a fierce battle for qualifying.

At the same time, after Greece defeated Argentina, it also completed its final battle of the World Championships with the third position in the World Championships.

In the end, except for the champion and runner-up Spanish team and the Chinese team, because they haven't played the game yet, they can't be determined.

The rankings of the other six teams in the top eight of this year's World Championships have already been determined.

Greece ranks third, Argentina ranks fourth, the United States ranks fifth, France ranks sixth, Germany ranks seventh, and Italy ranks eighth.

Among the top eight, group d finally occupied three places, which also proved from the side that the competitiveness of the group d and the overall strength of the team are slightly better than the other three groups.

And after all the qualifying matches, the final of the 2006 World Men's Basketball Championship is about to begin.

2006年9月3号晚上6:00，坐落在在日本琦玉的琦玉超级竞技场中人声鼎沸，而万众瞩目的中国队对阵西班牙队的2006年世锦赛决赛即将开始。

"Hello, everyone, TNT here, I am today's host Smith."

"Hi, everyone, I'm Charles Barkley."

"Today we are honored to invite Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a pair of old partners, to explain the final of the 2006 World Men's Basketball Championship with us."

"Speaking of which, I don't know if Erwin has watched Xu Lang's game recently?

Recently, Xu Lang has been considered by more and more people as your successor, Erwin. "

"What you said, I am not only watching Xu Lang's game recently, I have been a loyal spectator of Xu Lang's game since the University of Washington."

"As for whether Xu Lang is a player similar to my style, I think we need to wait for Xu Lang to play in the NBA for a few more years before we can be sure."

"Of course, with Xu Lang's ability to control the field and pass the ball shown in the last few games, he does have some of the demeanor of my youth."

"Oh, I don't know, Elvin, do you think LeBron James, a player who uses you as a model, is more likely to become a point guard at your level, or Xu Lang has a better chance of becoming a point guard at your level? Where's the ball guard?"

Looking at Smith who dug a hole for himself, Elvin Johnson responded calmly.

"I don't think there is any comparison between the two.

After LeBron James entered the NBA, his main position has always been concentrated in the small forward position.

And LeBron James' style of play is actually different from the way I played when I was young.

LeBron James has better physical fitness and better body utilization than me.

So if I really want to say it, I don't even think that LeBron James' template is actually not me. "

"So there's no direct comparison as to who's going to be the top point guard.

But I believe that both of them will burst out their own wonderful performances in the future NBA arena. "

As for Tai Chi, as a player with both high golf and emotional intelligence, Elvin Johnson has naturally mastered Tai Chi.

"By the way, there is another interesting thing recently, that is, some people say that this year's Chinese team, after getting rid of Yao Ming, played the showtime tactical system that you and Johnson created together, Kareem!"

"I don't know what you think about this, Karim?"

"No, I don't think anyone can replicate the showtime tactical system of me and Johnson, because no team can have me and Johnson at the same time."

Obviously, compared to Magic Johnson's mellow answer, Abdul-Jabbar's answer is more direct.

"Oh~~ So, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, you think that the tactical system played by the Chinese team now is impossible to compare with the showtime tactical system played by you back then, right?"

Without any hesitation, Abdul-Jabbar nodded immediately, yes!
Looking at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who was crazily burying himself in the pit, Magic Johnson was speechless.

While teasing and digging holes in the commentary booth, Xu Lang also began to check the system's judgment on the strength of each Spanish player.

There is no doubt that among all the players in this Spanish team, the most powerful is Paul Gasol, the All-Star NBA power forward.

Moreover, like Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Gasol also has an overall strength rating of A under the FIBA ​​standards.

Although the overall rating value has just reached 95, this is the lowest threshold and standard level for this A-level player.

But this already means that Yao Ming, the A-level player in the interior of the Chinese team, cannot play the super suppressive state he faced the previous opponents when facing the Spanish team.

After all, unlike Dirk Nowitzki, a power forward who tends to attack from the outside, Paul Gasol is a more traditional inside player.

Moreover, Paul Gasol, who plays as a power forward in the NBA, is a center player in the World Championships!
Although Pau Gasol has been criticized in the past few years for not being tough enough inside, his playing style and game state are a bit soft.

But as a power forward player who has often averaged 20 plus [-] per game in the NBA in the past few years, Paul Gasol's style of play is not as soft as people say!
In addition to Pau Gasol, there is another player in this Spanish team, Xu Lang, who is somewhat familiar and unfamiliar, and that is Jose Calderon.

As one of the rewards of this year's Eagles trading the No. [-] pick, Jose Calderon will become Xu Lang's teammate next season.
