Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 263 Is This Also Called Tactics? 【For subscription】

In the next round, he originally planned to raise Yao Ming to a higher position. He put Yao Ming far away, and he still guarded the inside line. As a result, Lu Yu did not return Yao Ming this time, but paused in the elbow area and waited for Yao Ming to cut in. Pass the ball to Yao Ming.

Wallace tried to make it up again, but found that he was stuck by Wang Zhizhi!
Allowing Yao Ming to shoot from the free throw line is like giving points?

The U.S. defense line completely collapsed. After playing the whole game, the Chinese team's killer turned out to be Lu Yu and Yao Ming's pick-and-roll.

Well, there is also a pick-and-roll with Wang Zhizhi!
In general, it is the pick-and-roll of Lu Yu and the inside players!
The American coach immediately called a timeout and replaced it with zone defense, but unfortunately it was useless. For Lu Yu, zone defense was simply shooting training.

Even if the teamwork between Lu Yu, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming is blocked with all their strength, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi still have one hand to pass the ball, and Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan have two sharp knives waiting to shoot at any time on the outside.

The U.S. team can only fight offense now!

There are only two ways to win a game, one is to let your opponent score fewer points, and the other is to score more points than your opponent.

Since you can't do the first one, you can only choose the second one.

The U.S. team started to fight back. To be honest, the Chinese team actually didn’t have many ways to deal with the U.S. team’s offense. After all, the defense of the small forward and shooting guard was a weak point. .

Pierce went crazy.

With only the last 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Chinese team only led by three points.

Team USA called a timeout.

Wang Fei said to the players: "We can't let our opponents shoot three-pointers to have the opportunity to drag the game into overtime, prevent outside shooters, consume game time, and finally let them play inside. After they score, they will definitely choose foul tactics. Our players on the field are very accurate free throws, don't worry about that!"

He is not worried about free throws, but Lu Yu is worried... This is an international competition. Usually free throws are useless. If the free throw is missed and the opponent scores again, it will go into overtime. will lose the game.

After the U.S. team played, they really tried to find a three-point shot at first, but the Chinese team blocked the outside line very tightly. Seeing that the time was only 9 seconds, Andre Miller suddenly saw that O'Neal was stuck in position.

With a straight shot, the ball was stuffed into O'Neal's hand.

"coming!"

Lu Yu knew that Little O'Neal was going to hit hard, but he didn't dare to attack him, because he was afraid that if Little O'Neal came out, Andre Miller really shot, that would be the most pitiful.

We can only watch Wang Zhizhi's defense!

Little O'Neal turned around after dribbling the ball twice, and Wang Zhizhi immediately pounced on it. Little O'Neal saw that he had no chance and could only reluctantly shoot.

The basketball stumbled and stumbled on the rim, and luckily finally fell to the rim.

87: 86,

The Chinese team is only one point ahead with the last 8 seconds left!

"..." Lu Yu was speechless, Wang Zhizhi's defense was already very good, but he didn't expect little O'Neal's luck to be better.

At this moment, Wang Fei suddenly called for a pause!

Sun Yiping was stunned, "Coach Wang Fei chose to suspend? Wouldn't it be more wasteful of the opponent's time to serve directly at this time? Maybe Coach Wang Fei has other concerns."

Do you want to call a timeout at this time?
If you don't call a timeout and serve from the backcourt, the opponent should be fouled directly, but Wang Fei understands that Chinese players are most afraid of pressing the whole court. If they are stealed under the opponent's basket, there will be fatal mistakes.

The most important point is that he is worried about Yao Ming and Lu Yu's physical strength. At this time, the lack of physical strength will affect the accuracy of free throws in his eyes.

So Wang Fei chose to call a timeout.

Yao Ming was gasping for breath. In this game, he only went down to rest for a while in the second quarter. Like him, there is Lu Yu. The two players have the longest playing time on the team, and they are also the most tired of all. of.

This timeout is to lay out sideline tactics and to give them some breathing time.

"That defense just blamed me..." Wang Zhizhi took a sip of water and apologized to his teammates.

"Your defense is already very good." Lu Yu patted his shoulder.

"Yeah, Da Zhi, it's the good luck of the little O'Neal guy. It's not that you don't know his shooting. He often falls in because of his soft wrist." Yao Ming also comforted.

Wang Fei came over.

He has a tactical board in his hand, his face is solemn, and it is very important to serve the ball from the sideline.

In Lu Yu's previous life, this kind of shit didn't happen!

In fact, being able to compete with the United States like this has exceeded the expectations of many experts, and even Wang Fei did not expect to win the United States at first.

But now the opportunity is in front of you, whoever can't catch it is a bastard!
"Come here, everyone, let me arrange the sideline ball tactics..." Wang Fei called all the players together: "Actually, there is nothing to arrange. The opponent directly scores, this is what I worry about most when calling this timeout, because once this kind of thing happens, the timeout I call will be incompetent! But I think the opponent is likely to have made the arrangement to press the whole court as long as they score in the last timeout. At that time, we will be caught off guard, so I chose to call this a bit of a mentally retarded timeout... Come down and I'll set up tactics..."

"Coach, let me interrupt..." Lu Yu said at this time.

"Huh?" Wang Fei was stunned, he looked at Lu Yu and frowned slightly.

"I think since it's been a surprise, it's better to be thorough. Is this possible..." Lu Yu said his thoughts.

Wang Fei's frown slowly eased away.

Players from both sides came on the court, the Chinese team sent the sideline ball, the American players were ready to fight, Wang Zhizhi stood outside the line holding the ball with both hands, and the Chinese team players began to move.

Yao Ming was the first to stand outside the three-point line. He was the tallest, and as long as the height to catch the ball was high enough, it was difficult for the opponent to break it. In addition, his free throws were the most accurate, and the US team used a lot of troops to guard him.

Who knew that at this time, a figure rushed out, and Wang Zhizhi threw the ball directly.

Only then did little O'Neal see that the Chinese team's No. 10 Lu Yu was catching the ball!
"Foul!" he yelled.

But to the surprise of the U.S. team players, Lu Yu received the ball in the half of the U.S. offense. After receiving the ball, Lu Yu dribbled the ball to the basket of the U.S. offense...

All the fans were dumbfounded, this guy Lu Yu...

Did you run backwards?

Chinese team won? !

When the U.S. team reacted and chased Lu Yu, the time on the timer had already gone a lot. When they returned to halftime, they found that Lu Yu was like a cunning loach, unable to catch it if it slipped. .

In the end, the time was over, and the Chinese team narrowly defeated the US team by one point 87:86.

Lu Yu threw the ball into the sky.

"The Chinese team is already the dominant player in Asia. This battle has proved that the Chinese men's basketball team has the strength to compete with the world's No. [-] team in the United States. Let us congratulate the Chinese men's basketball team for their first victory in the group stage!" Sun Yiping was excited. shouted.

Domestic fans are boiling at this time!
The game that was originally thought to be lost was unexpectedly inextricable, not to mention that the Chinese team withstood the opponent's counterattack at the last minute and firmly grasped the fruits of victory.

Especially the picture of Lu Yu running to the other half with the basketball at the end made the fans laugh out loud.

"Who came up with such a bad idea? Is it possible for a cheeky guy like Lu Yu to do it?"

"What is a bad idea? It's called a tactic!"

"This is also called tactics?"

"Sun Tzu's Art of War said: The United States men's basketball team definitely didn't expect that when we send the sideline ball, there will be players holding the ball and slipping away, haha, I want to laugh when I think about it now, Lu Yu's running is too wretched. "

"You're dumbfounded that you didn't see Reggie Miller."

"Of course I saw it. The camera finally gave a close-up. Reggie Miller's eyes were round, and his face was blank."

"If you don't play cards according to the routine, the Chinese team did a really beautiful job this time!"

"Yes, we didn't expect Wang Fei to call a timeout at the last moment. At that time, I almost smashed the TV. Isn't this motherfucker's coaching level not very good? In the end, tsk tsk, it's really delicious."

"Yeah, now it seems that this suspension was organized, planned and premeditated, and this wave of operations made a lot of money."

All the fans were talking about the last half-minute of the game between the Chinese team and the US team. Obviously, this scene will become a classic picture of the men's basketball event at this World Championship.

Scola, who was sitting in the audience, smiled bitterly: "Manu, I finally understand why you have this attitude towards the No. 10 of the Chinese team, because he is exactly the same as you..."

Manu pouted: "His hair is not as long as mine."

Lu Yu hugged his teammates. Although he was very tired and his legs were weak, he was very happy to win the US team, which proved that the current Chinese team can indeed compete with these strong teams in terms of strength.

It is difficult to enter the top eight in the world, because both the American team and the European team are all teams with certain strength.

But it is also very simple to enter the top eight in the world. As long as the strength is strong enough and other teams can win, they can enter the top eight.

However, the goal of the Chinese men's basketball team this time is not the top eight!

Lu Yu knew that the best chance to win the world championship was definitely not the 08 Olympic Games at the door of his home. That year's Dream Eight team was terrifying. The World Championships in 2000 and the Athens Olympic Games in 2002, these three years, the Chinese men's basketball team is the easiest to get the ranking.

In the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team was very good, but unfortunately they did not seize the opportunity, otherwise it would not be the French team but the Chinese team that won the silver medal.

And this time, Lu Yu didn't have the chance to participate.

At that time, Lu Yu had not yet made a name for himself.

But this year's World Championships and the Athens Olympics two years later, Lu Yu will definitely not miss these two opportunities, because these two American men's basketball teams are a bit watery.

Now that the Chinese team has won the US team, other teams have begun to pay attention to the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In addition to the Argentina team sitting in the audience at this time, there are also the Spanish team that has been confirmed to advance to Group E and the German team that has advanced to Group F at the same time as China and the United States.

Nowitzki greeted Wang Zhizhi.

Gasol and Lu Yu greeted each other.

Lu Yu came over.

"Hey, Lu, your last ball is really... Haha, I can't help but want to laugh..." Gasol couldn't help laughing.

He and Lu Yu were rookies in the same year, and they participated in the All-Star Rookie Tournament at the same time. This time, it was rare to play the World Championships together. Although they didn't have a deep friendship, they were a little more familiar than other NBA players.

Lu Yu just smiled, his eyes fell on the long-haired Ginobili not far away...

This person is not only his biggest opponent in this World Championship, but also will be the biggest opponent in the NBA next year, if the Bulls can reach the finals again.

Lu Yu and his teammates left the arena. They had to go back to rest. This game exhausted their stamina, especially Lu Yu and Yao Ming. The two of them played almost the whole game.

The coaching staff did not leave, they stayed to watch the next game and prepare for the next game.

Half an hour later, the players of Venezuela and Russia came on the field.

If Lu Yu is there, he should be able to recognize that the leading player in Russia is AK47 Kirilenko, who just joined the Utah Jazz this year. Kirilenko was selected by the Jazz in 1999. At that time, Andrei Kirilenko At just 18 years and 4 months, Kerr became the youngest foreign player ever selected in the NBA draft.

Kirilenko spent another two years with CSKA Moscow, playing in the Europa League.

And became the first player to record a triple-double in the Euroleague. 13 points, 11 rebounds, 10 steals.

In 2001, he joined the Jazz.

The winner of Russia and Venezuela will advance to the second round of Group F, which will be the opponent of the Chinese team in the next round.

At the end of the half, Russia was still ten points ahead.

49:39
However, in the second half, the situation changed suddenly, Venezuela set off a counterattack and once overtook the score, but Russia carried it to the end.

83:80
The Russian team narrowly won.

The next game is Argentina and New Zealand.

This is the highlight of today's game. Argentina is strong, and New Zealand is one of Australia's top teams. Logically, it should be a match where Mars hits the earth.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations. The New Zealand team lost the game 85-112, and Ginobili, who scored 24 points, managed a New Zealand team by himself.

85 to 112, 27 points difference
This is also the largest point difference in all games so far today.

Only then did everyone realize that in addition to the Chinese men's basketball team, another world-strong team appeared in this session, that is, the Argentine men's basketball team!

In the dormitory of the Chinese team, Zhu Fangyu was lying on the bed and muttering to himself: "We actually won the US team..."

Yi Jianlian thought he was lamenting the hard-won victory.

As a result, Zhu Fangyu's words turned him into petrochemicals on the spot: "It seems that the strength of the US team is not very good. I will sign up for the draft next year. Like Dayao, I will get a No. [-] pick to Dangdang..."

Lu Yu: "..."

The Chinese men's basketball team has only one day off.

Tomorrow, the second round of the World Championships begins.
