warrior godfather

Chapter 540 Director Zhang really hit the mark!

Yang Yi deserves to be a person who can say "Grandpa St. Paul" without changing his face. As long as it is beneficial, he can give up any shame.

There are too many Warriors fans in China, and Yang Yi doesn't ask for anything. As long as Zhang Yu says a few good words for him, he will be able to benefit endlessly. When selling things in the future, it will be easier for Warriors fans to buy them.

Before the start of the game, in order not to disagree with Zhang Yu's point of view, Yang Yi asked Zhang Yu's opinion first without saying anything:
"Director Zhang, what do you think of today's game?"

Hearing Yang Yi's address, Zhang Yu felt slightly awkward.

In China, "Director Zhang" was originally Zhang Weiping's exclusive title, but Zhang Yu's status is here, Yang Yi and Yu Jia can't call him by his first name, and he is the head coach, so he likes to mention this high-ranking title .

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"I don't know much about Korean basketball, so let's talk about it from our own point of view. Korean players are generally short in height, and we need to take advantage of the insiders of the Arab League and Big Zhi, but the opponent must also know that we want to play inside, so Space is also the most important thing, if the outside shot can't make three-pointers, South Korea will definitely shrink a lot, and then the inside will not be easy to play, then the game will be hard to say."

"Okay, thank you Director Zhang for your wonderful comments. My opinion is the same as that of Director Zhang..." Yang Yi followed Zhang Yu's words and talked eloquently.

In fact, he doesn't think so in his heart. What threat can South Korea pose to the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team?
At the level of South Korea, relying on the performance of Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi alone, the game is a sure thing. What else does it need outside?

But since Zhang Yu said so, of course Yang Yi couldn't refute his face, and could only follow his opinion.

Domestic fans who are watching the game are also somewhat disapproving of Zhang Yu's words. In Hupu's text live broadcast room, many people said:

"Coach Z is making a big fuss, isn't he? Isn't it safe to hit the stick?"

"As for the dwarfs of the South Korean team, how can they defend against Ah Lian and Da Zhi? Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu also fight casually, and it is impossible to lose at all."

"That's right, Coach Z doesn't seem to have much confidence in the national team..."

This is what most fans think. Like Yang Yi, they don't pay attention to the South Korean team at all.

It is normal for them to have this kind of thinking. The Huaxia men's basketball team has played against South Korea 17 times before, and only lost 3 times. The last time they lost to South Korea was in the 1997 Asian Championships. Liu Yudong and Li Xiaoyong missed due to injuries , lost to South Korea in the semi-finals.

With this relaxed state of mind, the vast number of Huaxia fans finally waited until the game started.

The Huaxia men's basketball team stormed the inside. Everyone looked for Yi Jianlian and asked him to initiate singles inside.

Yi Jianlian lived up to expectations, and frequently used his physical and technical advantages to attack inside. South Korea's starting insiders Kim Joo-sung and Kim Jong-gyu took turns, but they couldn't restrain his offense.

Wang Zhizhi also played tricks on his opponents twice in the restricted area. The Huaxia men's basketball team played a strong inside line and quickly took the lead in the score without having to play outside.

第一节打完，华夏男篮以20:12取得8分的领先，易建联和王治郅分别得到10分、6分。

The FIBA ​​competition system is different from the NBA. A quarter only lasts 10 minutes, and there is no defense for three seconds. The defender can stay in the penalty area and not come out. It is more difficult for the offensive team to score in the penalty area.

Therefore, even if the Huaxia men's basketball team has a great advantage in the interior, it cannot gain too much lead in this short period of time.

During the break between festivals, Yang Yi smiled and said:

"Director Zhang was right before the game. We have a great advantage in the paint. The South Korean team can't limit the offense of Ah Lian and Big Zhi. We can continue to expand our lead in the second quarter..."

He praised the performance of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team in the first quarter, as if the game had already been won by the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team.

Fans in the Hupu text live broadcast room also fell into a sea of ​​joy:
"The stick is too inexperienced, won't it cost you the first half of the game?"

"A Lian's pure dimensionality reduction blow, separated by Jin Zhoucheng's one-armed dunk is too explosive!!"

"It's a pity that He Shengzhen went to serve in the military, otherwise he would have to teach him a lesson, what is NBA championship rotation! What the hell is the main rotation for two consecutive championships!"

Yang Yi didn't neglect Zhang Yu either. After saying a few words, he turned to ask:
"Director Zhang, how do you think the South Korean team will deal with the offensive of Ah Lian and Dazhi in the second quarter?"

Zhang Yu said without thinking:
"Fingering, flanking at any cost! If I were Yu Zaixue, as long as Ah Lian and Da Zhi got the ball inside in the second quarter, I would immediately shrink the flanking. I would rather let Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng play big open positions than let the national team inside. Score, it's the only way out for South Korea."

Yu Jia wondered:
"Does the South Korean team dare to play outside like this? Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu are both famous shooters..."

Zhang Yu said lightly:
"It depends on Yu Zaixue's courage. This is the only way for the South Korean team to break the game. If the inside line cannot be defended, the South Korean team will lose. The Korean team's defensive ability is limited. If they want to hold the inside line, they must abandon the outside line."

Hearing what Zhang Yu said, many fans didn't take it seriously:

"If the South Korean team dares to play outside, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng can shoot them to death!"

"It would be great if the stick is so defensive. Once the three-pointer is opened, it will bloom inside and outside, and it will be taken directly!"

Under the enthusiastic atmosphere of Huaxia fans, the second quarter began.

Yi Jianlian, who played the first quarter, rested, and Wang Zhizhi took the lead in the interior.

The Huaxia men's basketball team attacked, Wang Zhizhi received a pass from Chen Jianghua, singled out Kim Jong-kui, and the South Korean team immediately shrank with three players, flanking Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi gave the ball to Zhu Fangyu, who was open outside, and the latter shot immediately after catching the ball, and he made a very firm three-pointer.

Bang!

The basketball bounced out of the frame, Lee Jong-hyun protected the backcourt rebound, the South Korean team launched a counterattack, Kim Sun-hyung made a fast break and made a layup, 14:20.

"Zhu Fangyu missed a three-pointer - the South Korean team counterattacked, and Kim Sun-hyung scored two points! This is a pity, Zhu Fangyu didn't grasp the opportunity of the wide open." Yu Jia said.

"Zhu Fangyu didn't make a lot of shots in the first quarter, and his hands are still a bit cold..." Yang Yi regretted.

Zhang Yu looked at Zhu Fangyu, who was still smiling after the blacksmithing, his face darkened, and he didn't speak.

Looking back, the Huaxia men's basketball team still looked for Wang Zhizhi, but he only dribbled the ball, and the South Korean team's attack arrived.

When Wang Zhizhi sent the ball out, it was Zhu Fangyu, who took the ball as soon as he caught it, and shot very resolutely.

Bang!

Zhu Fangyu's three-pointer still hit the iron, and the South Korean team protected the rebound. Fortunately, the Huaxia men's basketball team retreated in time and did not give the South Korean team a chance to counterattack.

"Zhu Fangyu's three-pointer is still missed. This is still a big open opportunity. It's a pity not to grasp it!" Yu Jia's voice already carried the meaning of hatred.

Yang Yi said with some hesitation:
"The South Korean team started to empty out the outside shooters of the Huaxia men's basketball team in the second quarter. They pinched Wang Zhizhi and achieved good results... Zhao Chengmin made a breakthrough layup! Only 4 points left!"

Zhang Yu stared at Zhu Fangyu who was showing embarrassment on the court, but still didn't speak.

In the next round, the Huaxia men's basketball team no longer blindly lobbed Wang Zhizhi. Wang Shipeng held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Wang Zhizhi, using the cover to break through.

The South Korean team shrank collectively, and Wang Shipeng was halfway through the breakthrough. He hesitated and turned around to pass the ball to Wang Zhizhi.

However, the South Korean team's restricted area was too dense, and his pass was destroyed by Kim Jong-kui, and the South Korean team counterattacked successfully, 20:18.

"Di-"

Yanarski called a timeout, livid.

Yang Yi looked at the score and blushed a little:
"Leader Zhang hit the mark. The Korean team began to shrink the inside line in the second quarter and achieved very good results... Director Zhang, how should the Huaxia men's basketball team break the game in the second quarter?"

Zhang Yu said calmly:
"What else can I do? Shoot! The South Korean team has such a wide open space, so they can only shoot, and they must make a shot. Otherwise, the inside will be pinched even harder, and it will be completely impossible to fight."

……

After the timeout ended, the two sides returned to the court, and Yanarsky made adjustments. Yi Jianlian, who had a rest of less than 2 minutes, returned to the battle.

The Huaxia men's basketball team attacked. Yi Jianlian played inside singles and was flanked by the South Korean team. He scored the ball to Wang Shipeng who was emptied.

Yi Jianlian beat Jin Zhoucheng, grabbed an offensive rebound, and made a dunk, 22:18.

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief:

"Good shot! We still have to rely on the UAE. His physical advantage is obvious, and he has already grabbed 3 offensive rebounds."

Zhang Yu poured cold water on it:
"Wang Shipeng didn't make a wide-open three-pointer. He and Zhu Fangyu didn't feel good today. If they still can't make a three-pointer later, it won't be good for Ah Lian to play like this."

Yang Yi said confidently:
"If you shoot a few more shots, you should be able to regain your touch. There are also Sun Yue and Zhou Peng. We have no shortage of outside manpower. If the Korean team continues to shrink, they can all stand up."

Zhang Yu pouted, noncommittal.

Soon, Yang Yi couldn't laugh anymore.

In the rest of the second quarter, the South Korean team tasted the sweetness, contracted very decisively, and resolutely flanked Yi Jianlian. When he got the ball in the penalty area, he would be surrounded by two or three people.

This also gave the Huaxia men's basketball team a lot of open opportunities on the outside, and Yi Jianlian, after being influenced by the Warriors' pass and cut system, has a strong coping ability. He is at the top level in Asia and can always distribute the ball to open teammates.

But what is disappointing is that Sun Yue, Chen Jianghua, Wang Shipeng, and Zhou Peng all made three-pointers, but failed to score a goal.

On the contrary, Yi Jianlian himself got impatient with being pinched, ran to the outside and made a three-pointer. This was the only three-pointer made by the Huaxia men's basketball team in the first half.

However, although the South Korean team's pincer attack is very fierce, the South Korean players are limited by their height, and the confrontation is also far from the intensity of the NBA.

Yi Jianlian handled the ball with ease in the flanking attack, and scored a goal against the flanking attack. In addition to the second attack after his debut, he scored a total of 1 points in the second quarter and performed very well.

However, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and others wasted several vacancies, and the South Korean team seized the opportunity to fight back several times, giving full play to their mobility advantages.

At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 36:33, and the South Korean team was only 3 points behind and entered the intermission.

Looking at the statistics of both sides, Yu Jia sighed:
"Thanks to the presence of Ah Lian, if it weren't for his 7 points, the South Korean team would have overtaken."

Yang Yi looked at Zhang Yu and said with a smile:
"Speaking of it, this is also the credit of Zhang's guidance. The UAE has played for the Warriors for three years. After the baptism of the playoffs and the finals, it has made great progress. It is possible to play such a high-level performance in Asian-level competitions. "

His compliment was already obvious, but Zhang Yu's expression was rather stern:

"UA played like this and only led by 3 points. Too many outside opportunities were wasted. South Korea's pincer attack in the second half will only be more ruthless. If you still can't make a three-pointer, it will be really difficult."

In Hupu's text live broadcast room, Huaxia fans did not have the good mood of the first quarter, and generally became worried:
"Fuck, I can't get in such a big vacancy, what is Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, and Chen Jianghua doing?!"

"Coach Z is amazing. Whatever he says, the South Korean team will do what they want. If we still can't make a three-pointer in the second half, Ah Lian will be trapped to death?"

"I finally know what teammate CBA is. The UAE is too difficult. If these teammates make a three-pointer, they will not be chased by the Korean team to only three points!"

……

The 15 minutes of intermission passed quickly, and the two sides returned to the field.

But the mental state of the two teams is completely different from that at the beginning of the game.

The Huaxia players looked solemn, obviously troubled by repeated misses in open shots.

The South Korean players were high-spirited, and obviously their nerves were stimulated by the close score.

After the start of the second half of the game, South Korea played very actively. As Zhang Yu said, they continued to strengthen the pincer attack on Yi Jianlian, and they were even more unscrupulous in their emptying of the Huaxia men's basketball team.

The Huaxia men's basketball team still focuses on the inside. After Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi attract the pincers, they then distribute the ball outside.

Yanarski's idea is correct. Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng are both shooters, and they must not miss the opportunity to create an open three-pointer for them.

But today's Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng can't afford the title of shooters. They still couldn't make three-pointers in the third quarter, and they shot with iron.

Yannaski had no choice but to replace Sun Yue, Chen Jianghua, and Zhou Peng, but they couldn't make a three-pointer either.

What was even more unbearable than the first half was that they lost confidence, became very hesitant, and their shots were not resolute. Several open opportunities were rotated by the South Korean team.

They can't make outside shots, they can't break through, and they don't fight back.

The Huaxia men's basketball team must settle down in every round and give full play to the "advantage" of the inside line. Even if Yi Jianlian is about to be pinched to death, he will not make any changes. Only Chen Jianghua used his speed to fight back and scored 2 points for a layup. .

This made the South Korean team shrink more and more boldly, Yi Jianlian suffered from a tighter attack, and the space for handling the ball became very narrow. In the entire third quarter, he only scored 2 points through free throws.

In fact, the South Korean team can't make three-pointers. So far in this game, they have only made 4 of 0 three-pointers.

However, the South Korean team made full use of the advantages of mobility, was very aggressive defensively, and took turns quickly. They actively seized all counterattack opportunities, broke through resolutely and decisively, and stood on the free throw line many times.

The Huaxia men's basketball team also had problems with its own defense. Sun Yue seemed to be sleepwalking, always being passed by one step, and veteran players like Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng were also not easy to move.

If it weren't for Yi Jianlian's defensive coverage to cover the entire penalty area and send two big blocks in a single quarter, the South Korean team's score would have increased.

But even though Yi Jianlian worked so hard on both ends of the offense and defense, after three quarters, South Korea still relied on highly targeted defense and spare no effort to counterattack to rewrite the score to 49:47 and complete the overtake.

When the Huaxia men's basketball team came off the court, Jannaski's face was extremely ugly, as if he was about to eat people, and he was already on the verge of rage.

During the holiday break, the atmosphere on CCTV5's broadcast booth was also very gloomy. The three of Zhang Yu were sitting on the sidelines, very close to the Huaxia men's basketball bench, and the frustrated expressions of the Huaxia players could be clearly seen.

Yang Yi hates that iron is not a steel road:

"The Huaxia team wasted too many opportunities in the third quarter. You can't expect the UAE to grab the frontcourt for every ball! If you can't make an open shot, you will send a counterattack to the South Korean team, and you can't defend against the breakthrough. Confidence is played out, how to play in the fourth quarter?"

Yu Jia is also somewhat dissatisfied with the performance of the Huaxia men's basketball team:

"It stands to reason that Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, and Sun Yue are all veterans. They have seen many big scenes. They have played in the Olympics and Asian Championships more than once. Why is the hand feeling so bad today? It doesn't matter if the hand feel is bad, even the confidence is gone. There is no room left. I don’t dare to shoot anymore, this will hurt the team more than hitting the iron!”

Zhang Yu, who was not optimistic about the Huaxia men's basketball team in the first half, was calmer than the two at this time:

"It's useless to say these things now. There is only one quarter in the game. You can no longer pin your hope of winning on the shooter. If you want to win, you still have to rely on the UAE."

Yu Jia worried:
"However, Ah Lian was flanked too badly. As soon as he got the ball, two people, or even three people surrounded him. How else could he fight?"

Zhang Yu said in a deep voice:
"If I were Yanaski, I would let the UAE catch the ball at the top of the arc, hold the ball and launch an attack, and avoid the South Korean team's pincer attack in the low post. This is the only way to break the game, and the UAE also has this ability."

"Initiate an attack directly from outside the three-point line? Is this possible?" Yang Yi doubted.

"It depends on whether Yanarski has the courage..." Zhang Yu said lightly.

The Huaxia fans who were watching the game were also shocked by Zhang Yu's words:

"Let the UAE catch the ball from outside the three-point line and launch an offense? Isn't this a bit whimsical?"

"It's not that the UAE doesn't have the ability to shoot three-pointers, but making him play like a guard is a bit..."

"Coach Z is also in a hurry to go to the doctor. How can an inside player play like this? Let me say, let's fight against the attack, maybe we can score a few..."

……

Amid the debate among the Huaxia fans, the fourth quarter began.

The Huaxia men's basketball team attacked, and in the first round, a shocking scene appeared.

Yi Jianlian came to the top of the arc, received the pass from Chen Jianghua, made a three-threat feint, and made a three-pointer, and the basketball bounced into the basket.

At 50:49, the Huaxia men's basketball team overtook the score again!
"Fuck! Am I reading that right? Ah Lian made a three-pointer?!"

"Ah United is awesome! Coach Z is awesome! This is a spoiler commentary!"

"I'm convinced, is this the top coach? You can't say what you say!"

In Hupu's text live broadcast room, a large number of messages swiped the screen in an instant.

In the past, Yi Jianlian often played face-to-face singles, but the farthest he was able to attack was above and below the free throw line. He had never made a direct three-pointer from outside the three-point line. This is the guard's style of play!

Yang Yi also exclaimed:

"A good shot, a three-pointer from the United Arab Emirates! This ball really stopped the bleeding. Jannaski arranged for the United Arab Emirates to attack directly from the top of the arc in the fourth quarter, avoiding the pincer attack of the South Korean team, and the effect was achieved when it came up. Director Zhang hit the mark!"

　The worst record of the national team in the Asian Championships was the 2007th place in 10, but the second team was sent at that time, which is generally not included in the national team's record.
