Basketball starts with breathing

As expected by Lu Yu, after the opening of the second quarter, Scola singled Yi Jianlian and made two free throws for the Argentine team to open the scoring in the second quarter. Then Ginobili made a three-pointer, and some impatient Guo Shiqiang got a technical foul after pushing Scola down.
At the critical moment, Yi Jianlian pulled to the outside to find a gap and hit a three-pointer. Then Wang Zhizhi also caused the opponent to foul. Unfortunately, only one of the two free throws was made. Seeing that many young players were playing weakly, "Silver Fox" Harris had to replace it. Lu Yu and Yao Ming had just rested for a few minutes.

The Chinese team must stabilize the situation.

Yao Ming pulls out and Lu Yu pick-and-rolls. This is one of the most difficult tactics for the Chinese men's basketball team to defend. It is also the trump card for defeating Spain before. I didn't expect it to be used in the second quarter of this game.

Ginobili hurriedly took a step back and stood on the passing route between Lu Yu and Yao Ming.

Lu Yu pretended to be passing it to Yao Ming, when suddenly he dribbled the ball under his crotch and turned his left hand, just one position to the left of Manu Ginobili. One position was enough for him.

He accelerated past Manu Ginobili, Ginobili had no choice but to give up the defense, Volkovsky straightened his body and raised his hands high, while Oberto stood on the flank and was ready at any time. Come and cover Lu Yu.

Lu Yu ignored their defenses, and suddenly changed direction when he accelerated and rushed to Volkowski's side. The speed was so fast that Volkowski didn't react at all, so he easily stood still like a stake. Volkowski, who was wearing it, passed by.

At this time, the space left for Lu Yu was already very small. After that, Lu Yu directly chose to lay up.

Oberto, who was already ready, jumped up from one side, imposingly trying to block Lu Yu's ball. Lu Yu dragged the ball with his right hand and didn't make a shot, but when Oberto was about to change, suddenly. He retracted his waist and handed it to his left hand. He continued to glide and flew past the gap between Oberto and Volkowski.

"Is Lu Yu trying to pull a lever?" Sun Yiping exclaimed.

Before he finished speaking, the fans in the audience immediately exploded. Lu Yu pulled the lever with his left hand and flew to the other side of the basket. When his body had already fallen, he twisted back to face the basket halfway, and threw the ball with one hand. Go out, basketball hits the board into the box.

"My God, how did he do it?"

"What a strong waist and abdomen strength."

"He's flying, you see him flying between two Argentine players."

All the spectators were convinced by Lu Yumei's picturesque pull-to-bar turn and shot. There seemed to be very few players who could do this.

……

Li Nan finally hit another three-pointer in the bottom corner, leveling the difference again. Sun Yiping sighed: "Li Nan's shot finally opened, I hope today's Xiao Li Feidao can continue to maintain his hit rate."

……

With 1 minute and 22 seconds left in this quarter, the Argentine player fouled Yao Ming to the free throw line while pressing, but Yao Ming hit one of two free throws.

Today, Yao Ming was out of shape by the opponent's foul tactics, and even the free throws, which have always been stable, were abnormal.

……

Manu Ginobili made a pass that ran through the entire court, but it went out of bounds because of a slippery hand, and then the referee blew the whistle for the end of the half-time game.

The Chinese team ended the first half with a 42-39 three-point lead.

Don't look at the fact that the Chinese men's basketball team is still ahead of their opponents, but it is clear that the Chinese team will lose points without Yao Ming and Lu Yu on the court at the same time. Argentina's overall strength is strong, especially their players on the bench, Scola Although the jump is not as high as Yi Jianlian's, Yi Jianlian is unable to defend. Yi Jianlian's attack and defense are his biggest problem. Argentina and Delfino are all good players.

The hardest part was that Yao Ming got into foul trouble.

Lu Yu walked back to the locker room slowly. He knew that this game would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. Yao Ming's playing time would definitely be discounted. Only when two people were present at the same time could the score be tied. Once Yao Ming went down, If the opponent double-teams themselves, it will be harder for other players to play.

Who are the players who influence the trend of the game?

Just look at which players on the field will enjoy the double-team treatment...

Fortunately, the Argentine players on the other side of the defense are not strong enough.

"Da Zhi, try to cover me as much as possible when Yao Ming is not present in the second half, I'm going to try to break the attack..." Lu Yu said through gritted teeth.

"Are you sure?" Wang Zhizhi was startled.

"Sure." Lu Yu said.

The Argentina team did not give up in the second half. The Chinese team had to suppress the opponent's counterattack. After the start, Yao Ming obviously strengthened his attack on the inside line.

Then Zhu Fangyu also hit a three-pointer, expanding the points to 8 points.

However, the Argentina team was not to be outdone. Ginobili completed the alley-oop immediately, and soon after, Skokinia also broke through the layup, and the difference was only 4 points.

Harris looked worriedly at the players on the court who gritted their teeth and insisted, he knew that some players could no longer hold their strength.

He could only call a timeout, first to give the players time to breathe, and second to replace Yao Ming, who had already received his third personal foul before he knew it.

"Yao Ming is off the court, and it's time for Lu Yu to lead the team with a single core. In the first half, Lu Yu led the team with a single core and faced double-team defense. Fortunately, it was only two rounds at that time. President, I wonder if Lu Yu can hold on..." Sun Yiping said worriedly.

Lu Yu stood at the bottom corner, Ginobili was standing in front of him, and Oberto, who was not far away, was also staring at him.

"Fuck..." Lu Yu spat, suddenly began to accelerate, rushed out from behind Oberto, and then shouted: "Give me the ball, air cut."

Liu Wei immediately handed the ball to Lu Yu, and then cut and moved by himself, but the speed of the cut was a little slower, and the ball that Lu Yu wanted to pass could only be taken back.

It was only a moment's delay, and there were two more players standing in front of Lu Yu.

If someone comes to attack, there will inevitably be a gap.

Harris frowned slightly, and was relieved to see that Lu Yu didn't choose to pass the ball. Since the opponent dared to choose to double-team, he would naturally have a way to deal with missed players.

It is easy for Lu Yu to hand over the ball, but it is difficult to come back.

The corner of Wang Zhizhi's eyes jumped, and he quickly brought it up to help Zhu Fangyu make a cover. After Zhu Fangyu made an empty cut, Wang Zhizhi moved a step higher, just in time to get stuck in Oberto's defensive position.

At this moment, Lu Yu moved, without any extra fake movements, he simply accelerated, and rushed out against Wang Zhizhi's back.

Sticking to the back of the screen teammate is the most important point of the pick-and-roll. Try to stick to the back of the screen teammate to break through. At this time, the vision you can see is completely different.

This is usually the case with pick-and-rolls, not to mention when he was double-teamed, Lu Yu could even smell the sweat on Wang Zhizhi's body.

Oberto was blocked behind, only Ginobili was in front of Lu Yu, Lu Yu suddenly changed direction and accelerated, Ginobili could only retreat, and Oberto came around from behind Wang Zhizhi, chasing behind Lu Yu .

Flanking has become a defense and a chase, which is much easier.

"Snapped!"

Lu Yu made a heavy dribble in front of his body, which made Ginobili move his center of gravity quickly, but found that Lu Yu turned around at this moment, turned between Ginobili and Oberto, who was chasing the defense, and then shot. ...

Manu Ginobili and Oberto jumped up immediately, obviously it was a little late, but it should be able to interfere.

but……

Lu Yu didn't vote?

He just faked a shot, swayed the two defenders with a shot fake, then took a step to the front left and threw the ball with his left hand in the opposite direction from where the two of them swooped.

"It's amazing, Lu Yu's series of fake moves is dazzling. The key is that Argentina's two defensive origins were played around by him. It is estimated that after two more rounds like this, Argentina should give up the double-team against Lu Yu." Sun Yiping said with a smile: "Because...it doesn't work, it wastes players' physical strength."

He was right, Argentina's biggest reliance is that the players' physical strength is better than the Chinese team, so they cherish the players' physical strength. After seeing that the flanking Lu Yu was ineffective, they decided to give up.

With Lu Yu's excellent performance in this quarter and Yao Ming's double-high pick-and-roll tactics between Yao Ming and Lu Yu and Wang Zhizhi in the last few minutes, the lead was maintained at 5 points.

The double-high pick-and-roll strategy also gave Argentina a headache, and even their head coach rated it as one of the most inexplicable tactics in the Olympics so far.

At the last moment of the third quarter, Lu Yu made a mid-range shot and was 65 points behind Argentina 58-7.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Harris looked at Lu Yu worriedly. He didn't know whether Lu Yu's physical strength could hold up. From the beginning to now, because of Yao Ming's foul, Lu Yu hardly rested. Originally, he had a chance in the second quarter. Rest, but the bench lineup was hit by the opponent with a wave of more than ten points, and Lu Yu could only stay on the court.

Fortunately, Lu Yu didn't look abnormal.

But he and Yunas looked at each other and chose to let Lu Yu take a break. Although the two coaches would still quarrel over tactical differences, every time they encountered something about Lu Yu, their opinions would always be surprisingly consistent.

Lu Yu rested, Yao Ming led the team with a single core.

But that's where the problem lies!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Montechea tricked Wang Zhizhi into a foul and made two free throws. The Chinese team failed to score within 2 minutes. In the end, it was Zhu Fangyu who broke the deadlock with a mid-range shot. As the opponent shrank the defense and pinched Yao Ming, the Chinese team got There were many chances to shoot three-pointers from the outside, but the outside shooter didn't feel good. In the end, Yao Ming first turned around and hooked inside, and then scored 5 points in a row with a step-up layup.

The difference was suddenly reduced to two points.

There are 7 minutes left in the game.

"Coach..." Lu Yu stood up.

Harris nodded, and took advantage of the dead ball to apply for a substitution. The players who played after the substitution were Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, and Lu Yu. This is the best lineup configuration for the double-high pick-and-roll tactic.

7 minutes, this is the last 7 minutes!

Up to now, the Chinese men's basketball team has never given up a single game in this Olympic Games. This Chinese men's basketball team has a lot of energy, that is, no matter how difficult the game is, even if there is no physical strength, they must continue to pursue it. .

This is how Lu Yu is now. When he hit the first three-pointer, he knew that the touch was still there. This three-pointer also made the Chinese team seem to have found the confidence to win.

When he hit the second shot, Lu Yu glanced at Ginobili who was defending him, and there was a hint of danger in Ginobili's eyes.

The Chinese team is scoring, the Argentina team is also scoring, and Ginobili is constantly attacking the inside.

"Be careful!" Lu Yu shouted loudly, but unfortunately one step too late.

"drop!"

The referee blew the foul whistle, which was Yao Ming's fifth foul and was sent off.

Lu Yu saw a sly smile on Ginobili's mouth.

"Damn!"

Lu Yu was angry. He knew that this was part of tactics. Tactics themselves were a dirty thing, so it was definitely allowed to use the rules within the scope of the rules. Besides, he had used this trick before, so he couldn't just use the rules. The official set the fire and did not allow the people to light the lamp, but he was still very angry, because if he continued like this, he might be overturned.

Lu Yu quickly dribbled the ball past half court, and a quick change of direction passed Ginobili who was in front of him. Oberto hurriedly sealed up, striding a lot, and wanted to make the defensive area bigger. Da, Lu Yu didn't look at him at all, and rushed over without reducing his speed. When he suddenly shoved the ball into Oberto's crotch in front of him, Oberto obviously didn't respond. When he did, Lu Yu responded. Has rushed past him on the right.

Scola, who was guarding the basket, was obviously underprepared. He didn't expect Lu Yu to pass two defenders so easily.

Lu Yu jumped up. He jumped up as soon as he entered the free throw line. He lifted the ball high with one hand, ignoring Scola's existence, and flew towards the basket.

In fact, Scola also forgot to defend at this time. Like all the stunned spectators on the field, he was stunned by Lu Yu's take-off from the free throw line.

Lu Yu was really flying, he pulled the ball behind his head, his waist and abdomen violently exerted force, and his head was almost flush with the basket.

A little girl off the field who was eating biscuits didn't know that the biscuits in her hand slipped and fell to the ground. She just stared at the field with dumbfounded eyes.

"Boom!"

The audience only heard the trembling sound of the basket.

"Oh my God, how did he do it?" Sun Yiping screamed, his slightly shrill voice now trembled slightly, "Lu Yu dunked the ball in and took off from the free throw line. , it's not that far, but it's just too hard for a defender, especially a defender who's played the whole game..."

After Lu Yu finished the dunk, he realized that the jump was so far away. He only thought about dunking the ball in, but he didn't think about it at all. Even the hand that grabbed the basket in the end didn't catch it, and he almost fell off the basket.

Fortunately, Scola, who was on the side, supported him.

"Thank you!" Lu Yu said lightly.

Scola shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to thank him. He couldn't help but feel that Ginobili was right. The Chinese player wearing the No. 10 jersey was really too strong.

If they hadn't prepared the tactics of making Yao Ming's foul in advance and made the dual-core Chinese team into a single-core team, I am afraid that Argentina would have lost long ago.

But at the last minute of the game, the No. 10 still completely destroyed the morale of the Argentine team with a dunk.
