After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 372
Although Dayao and Howard play different roles on the offensive end, Howard is more effective when running down and running back. To be honest, it is actually a bit like a striker's style of play.

This is also because of his super athletic ability, which allows him to quickly move and run out of opportunities without the ball on the offensive end.

The difference with Dayao is that he has range and accurate shooting, so although he moves slowly, he can serve as a certain spot-up shooter.

In fact, it is just another evolution of the triangle offense, which is more in line with the Lakers' style of play in the finals.

This is also a set of tactics that Jonas likes to practice after Li Chengming joined.

Li Chengming is undoubtedly the core of the tactics. Others can be his tools, and depending on the role positioning, he can decide how to fight.

So it can also be seen from the scene that after Li Chengming took the ball many times, he began to direct and dispatch his teammates' positions and runs.

Although Gasol is very familiar with this tactic, it is useless for him to be familiar with it alone, and even if he is familiar with him on the opposite side, he cannot immediately judge how the Huaguo men's basketball team will play.

Because it depends on Li Chengming's tactical axis, his thoughts.

Relying on this tactical surprise in the first quarter, the men's basketball team caught Spain by surprise.

Although it can be seen that the opponent has made sufficient preparations before the game, what they can't prepare for is that they can't deal with Li Chengming's variation of play.

As long as the defense against him is a little loose, he will go up by himself. If he is flanking, he will always have a way to pass the ball, so that his teammates can form a situation where they play more and less in a short time.

The Spanish team can't defend every time, and they won't miss every shot.

Especially the outside pass, after all, Spain is not like the American Dream Eight team, which can rely on its super physical fitness, use its movement speed and reaction ability to achieve a strong rotation on the defensive end.

In the middle of the first quarter, when the Spanish coach Ettore Garcia-Reenses paused for adjustments, he tried to let Gasol's younger brother Gasol come over to defend Lee Cheng-ming, but obviously this was not the case between the Lakers and Gray. In the trade of the Bears, Fatty, who was traded to the Grizzlies as his brother's head, couldn't keep up with Li Chengming.

If Li Chengming was still at the peak of his weight and moved in the footsteps of Gasol Jr., he might still be able to keep up.

But now it's completely different. Through the addition of system skills, Li Chengming's speed and reaction have improved. After losing weight, his body is lighter and more flexible.

The most important thing is that after playing in the NBA for a year, Li Chengming has accumulated enough experience on the field, and he has always been the focus of the opponent's defense. He has become accustomed to various responses under high-pressure defenses, and even formed some instinctive reactions.

Sometimes even before the opponent double-teams, when the idea of ​​passing the ball just comes into his mind, the hand will naturally distribute the ball.

Xu Jicheng said excitedly: "Although Li Chengming didn't score as high as he played in this game, the men's basketball team completely took him as the tactical axis, and the effect was achieved. The Spanish team double-teamed him, but paid the price. If we As long as the outside line is more accurate, maybe the first quarter can lead to another ten points!"

Li Chengming's state is a surprising place, and his ability to adapt to the Olympic Games has also made domestic fans completely relieved.

Maybe there is also a reason for sitting at home and having a more secure mentality?
On the other hand, Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Da Zhi, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Shipeng, the shooters, didn't show any effect in the first quarter. In fact, many opportunities came up, but they just didn't grasp them.

Of course, the Spanish team also sees this, so for them, they have to decide whether to continue to maintain this kind of defense, or even more resolutely attack Li Chengming, betting on the outside line of the Huaguo men's basketball team The feeling can't come back.

To be honest, for a traditional strong team like Spain, this defensive strategy is obviously not what they are willing to accept.

Because they can actually choose to fight against their opponents. Most of the time, including facing the US team, their inside lines have a certain advantage.

But today was obviously different. Dayao alone made it difficult for them to defend, let alone adding Li Chengming.

The players of the Spanish team do not have absolute physical talent, unlike the "beasts" of the US team that make Li Chengming feel so uncomfortable, and if he is technical, his prediction can work.

Whether it is the striker or the inside line, it is difficult to break through Li Chengming's defensive barrier that is stuck in the middle chain.

During the team training, Yunus also gradually discovered that Li Chengming's ability on the defensive end is much stronger than he imagined.

Not only will he not become a defensive loophole, but he can use it well. He can even become a gate for the men's basketball team to make up for the men's basketball team's lack of perimeter defense.

This is because of Li Chengming's physical changes, and his accumulation of experience has indeed improved his defensive skills. On the other hand, it is naturally because the rules are in his favor.

Under Li Chengming's excellent control of the field in the first quarter, the men's basketball team ended up leading by 26 points at 22:4 because of inaccurate outside shots. Li Chengming still played the entire first quarter.

When entering the rotation stage in the second quarter, instead of being overtaken by the Spanish team, the Huaguo men's basketball team even broke the score before Li Chengming returned to the court because Liu Wei and Da Zhi broke out at the same time. Some.

"Liu Wei made another three-pointer! He has already made three three-pointers in this quarter, plus one in the first quarter. Currently, he is 7 of 4 three-pointers..."

Yoga laughed and said, "Da Zhi's performance was also good. He made a foul on the inside and hit a three-pointer from the outside. Li Chengming hasn't played yet at this time—look how happy he is smiling off the court..."

Of course Li Chengming smiled happily. He didn't need his teammates to play poorly when he wasn't on the court to prove his importance to the team, nor did he need to prove his strength by saying that the team couldn't do without him.

His perception of himself has always been accurate. He is here to increase the upper limit of the team, so this also requires his teammates to also play well enough.

Although Li Chengming scored 40+ in the last game, without the performance of his teammates, especially the threat from outside the three-point line, he opened up enough space. It is impossible for him to stalemate with the US team alone. living.

When Li Chengming returned to play, the men's basketball team had already led by 47 points at 38:9. The Spanish team was obviously confused by the men's basketball team's sudden offensive. The coach couldn't sit still at all and walked around on the sidelines .

The two sides have also replaced all the main players one after another, and the decisive battle in the first half has also begun.

Because of the strong performance of his teammates, Li Chengming got more rest time. Jonas also considered that Da Zhi and Liu Wei played well and let them play for a while, and now they just replaced them to rest.

"As soon as Li Chengming returned to the field, the defense of the Spanish team seems to have found the focus." When Yang Jian said this, he also felt very happy. The key is that this seems not to be his personal illusion, but a fact.

It seemed that the opponent only considered Li Chengming's presence, so when Li Chengming was not present, they didn't know the key points of defense, but instead made the men's basketball side bloom both inside and outside.

But now that Li Chengming is back, their defensive focus is on him again, which is almost the same as in the first quarter.

As a result, Li Chengming used his tandem ability to frequently create opportunities for his teammates after being flanked.

But what is different from the first quarter is that the men's basketball team is now on the perimeter, so if the Spanish team is still attacking fiercely like before, it will be punished by the men's basketball team with three points.

In this way, by the end of halftime in the second quarter, the men's basketball team had widened the score gap to 11 points.

This is still in the case that the opponent’s offensive performance is equally good. In fact, Gasol’s role and style of play in the Spanish team are similar to that of Li Chengming in the men’s basketball team at this time. He can attack by himself, or he can use the pivot to control the ball , and the Spanish team's high pick-and-roll is even more unique, often able to find opportunities to slip through the bottom line and hit the back door of the opponent's penalty area.

Therefore, in the second half of the second quarter, the offenses of the two sides were evenly matched, and neither could defend the other.

But this is definitely not good news for the Spanish team.
