Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

August 2006, 8, Sapporo, Japan, Hokkaido Prefectural General Gymnasium, visiting team locker room.

“Tonight our opponent is the runner-up in the Athens Olympics, the Italian team.

But don’t worry, as long as you defend well and throw the ball that needs to be thrown, the rest will be left to me.

I will lead everyone to win, and please trust me. "

The game was about to start. As the boss of the men's basketball team, Du En directly ignored Yunus, gathered other men's basketball players in the locker room, and began to arrange the main tactics for tonight.

"Listen carefully, I have studied the Italian team and their weakness is in the centre.

In the first half, we mainly played inside. I would hold the ball and break through to the inside.

Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi, when you three are present, you must always pay attention to my movements and cooperate with my offense.

I'm going to get the ball into your hands more, and you're going to find Dennis McNado.

Of the three centers in the Italian team, only Denis Macnado is taller than 2 meters.

The remaining Richard Mason Rocca is only 2 meters, and Luca Galli is only 04 meters, and they are still newcomers and lack competition experience.

If we were able to knock Dennis McNado down, half the game was won. "

Du En took the right medicine and first arranged the work of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi.

Through three games of the Stankovic Intercontinental Basketball Champions Cup, Yunas also corrected some problems as the men's basketball head coach.

That is, in the starting lineup, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi cannot be placed on the court at the same time, otherwise the defensive ability of the interior will be relatively insufficient.

Although Yi Jianlian, who did not enter the NBA for further training, is not physically strong enough, at least his defensive attitude is better than that of Wang Zhizhi.

Now that he is a junior in the men's basketball team, he is finally starting the starting lineup, but he is still willing to do the dirty work for Yao Ming.

After arranging the internal work, Du En turned to Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng and others.

"The remaining half is defense! Mainly our perimeter defense.

By the way, as long as Gianluca Basile is on the court, I will lead and defend him. You don't need to intervene, just defend your own goals.

Whether defense can be effective mainly depends on attitude.

Everyone puts their hands on each other's waist. When the opponent shoots, they reach out to block the shot. If they can't block the shot, they block their face.

In short, when we use our aggression, we must make the opponent uncomfortable and even fear us.

By the way, Yao Ming, you don't have to help defend. Even if the Italian team's big man comes out to shoot, I will help defend.

Your task is to take the ball and attack in the low post, and distribute your energy reasonably. I need you to have a certain scoring ability in the fourth quarter.

As for everyone else, the offense is ready to catch the ball.

In the first half, I kept pushing hard, and Yao Ming kept hitting hard inside. They may strengthen the protection of the penalty area.

At that time, more opportunities will appear on the outside. Maybe in the fourth quarter, we are not strong enough and our shooting is not stable.

However, when I passed the ball out in the first three quarters, I asked everyone not to hesitate and to complete the shot proactively, actively and confidently. "

After Du En finished speaking, he clasped his hands together, clapped, and motioned for everyone to come closer.

“I believe that everyone is a player with outstanding abilities, and I have felt everyone’s energy during the previous training sessions.

I have the confidence to lead everyone to win tonight's game, and please trust me and give me your hands!
My hand is at the bottom to support everyone!

Tonight is our first game in the World Championships, and it will also be our first victory in the World Championships! "

Du En reached out his hand first, and Yao Ming immediately followed suit and covered Du En.

Seeing this, the others also stretched out their hands one after another and stacked them on top of each other.

"3, 2, 1...Chinese men's basketball team, come on!"

"Come on!" Everyone said in unison.

After Du En took care of the locker room, he took a step back and handed the field to Yunus.

But Yunus has nothing to say. The previous three Stankovic Intercontinental Basketball Champions Cup games are not considered coaching Doon.

Tonight, Du En's focus was on sudden points, which was different from the previous situations where one person played alone with the ball and four people watched the ball.

Therefore, there is nothing to add.

To put it bluntly, once he loses, Yunas is here to take the blame for Du En.

In the next game, all Yunas needs to do is make substitutions and call a timeout.

Because I have just started coaching Duen, I don’t know much about Duen. It is definitely impossible to cooperate with Duen as well as Scott Skiles.

However, Yunus is still very confident about tonight's game.There was no complaint about Du En evading him.

It's true that Yunus's basketball philosophy is team basketball, but no one would be unwilling to coach a superstar like Duan who is the world's top and almost dominates the NBA.

Chuck Daly wants to make Jordan bleed!But if there is an opportunity to coach Jordan, Chuck Daly is not willing to miss it.

Not to mention, you can also coach Magic, Bird, Barkley and others...

It was said that the game was about to start, and the men's basketball team came out of the locker room quickly.

As the starters of the two teams came to the court, Yi Jianlian made a jump ball on behalf of the men's basketball team, and the game began.

Italian center Denis Macnado beat Yi Jianlian in the jump ball.

Point guard Fabio Di Bella dribbled across half court and handed the ball directly to the core of the team, shooting guard Gianluca Basre, at the top of the key.

Gianluca Basile obviously did not expect Doan to lead him.

Perhaps taking into account the shadow of the famous tree, Du En is too famous.Gianluca Basilei did not dare to play Duan alone, so he could only pass the ball to Marco Belinelli who was defending Wang Shipeng.

After receiving the ball, the latter turned his back and rushed inside. Yao Ming stepped forward to cover up the defense. Marco Belinelli could only stop and try a jumper.

Because Yao Ming is too tall, although his wingspan is short, for wing players, it is also very scary, which is very scary.

Marco Belinelli took a hasty shot and missed.

Dennis Macnado, who was under the basket, grabbed an offensive rebound, but as soon as he got up, he was slapped away by Yi Jianlian, who rushed to the basket to grab the rebound.

Wang Shipeng, who also rushed to the basket to protect the rebound, protected the rebound and then passed the ball to Duen.

"Play slowly, don't rush, don't run, wait for Yao Ming to get to the basket and get into position, and the others will pull away."

Du En did not pass the ball to Liu Wei, but dribbled the ball unhurriedly by himself.

Yao Ming had already started running, trying to keep up with everyone's speed.

Hearing what Du En said, he just jogged, dropped to the left side of the frontcourt in a low position, and then made a move with his back body to catch the ball.

At this time, the Italian team set up a 212 zone defense, while the men's basketball team adopted a 131 offensive formation.

Yao Ming's low post obviously attracted some attention from the Italian team.

As Wang Shipeng ran without the ball, he ran from a 45-degree angle to the right corner. Yi Jianlian at the free throw line cut directly to the basket. After the two men's running mobilized the defense of the Double One Team, Du En also followed. let's move.

Facing Marco Belinelli's defense, Duan directly crossed and broke through, walking towards the basket from the middle.

Yao Ming noticed that Yi Jianlian had cut to the basket, so he came out of the basket and actively pulled out to make room.

However, Italy saw Duen rushing to the basket and chose to double-team Duen first.

Du En originally intended to let Yao Ming play Dennis McNado, but at this time Yao Ming was open, Du En still chose to pass the ball to Yao Ming.

"Is there such a thing?"

Yao Ming could not believe in his dreams that one day he would be let go in the international competition!

Ever since, Yao Ming, who caught the ball, took the time to look at the basket before raising his hand to shoot.

Because there is no one around, Yao Ming doesn't need to use the fadeaway jumper he learned from Dameng. He doesn't even have to jump. It's just like a free throw. He just stands in the middle distance.

The Yao-Dunn connection imagined by domestic fans should be Duen breaking through the paint and Yao Ming dunking.

However, the reality is that Du En's breakthrough attracted three double-teams, and Yao Ming was let up and scored easily with a mid-range shot.

However, it is normal for the Italian team to defend like this. It is also a two-pointer. Should they choose to let the forwards break through and hit the basket, or let the center shoot mid-range shots from the wings?Anyone who knows a little bit about penalty kicks will choose the latter.

After all, the striker's shooting percentage will definitely exceed 5% when he gets to the basket, and it is possible to score 2+1.

As for the center who floats outside and shoots mid-range shots, he would be thankful to have a 5% hit rate.

After all, even if Jordan is here, he can't shoot 6% of the mid-range shots.

Once the opponent's center takes a shot, it is easier for the opponent's team to protect the rebound because there is no big man under the opponent's basket to grab offensive rebounds.

The truth is this, but the center the Italian team is facing at this time is Yao Ming!
The Italian team had no idea that Duan's shot did not kill them, but Yao Ming's shot scared them into sweating.

It was also because Duan took the initiative to lead the defense on Gianluca Basilei, the Italian team's most powerful offensive player in the past, and he immediately failed.

The height of the men's basketball team's inside line is here, and it is impossible to shoot from the outside. If you want to score inside, it is simply asking for death.

After the Italian team tried positional warfare to no avail, they could only try to speed up the transition attack.

However, European teams do not have the physical fitness of NBA players and cannot play too fast.

The focus is more on shooting, and then relying on teamwork to pass, cut, and score points to create better shooting opportunities for teammates.

However, the men's basketball team protected the penalty area, and Duan strangled Gianluca Basilei. Other outside players of the Italian team still had to shoot some stars or difficult shots.

Then came the iron blow, and the men's basketball team relied on its height advantage to protect the rebound.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Wei dribbled the ball across half court. Du En lowered his rhythm, waited for his teammates to get into position, and then broke through to find his teammates.

It has to be said that Yao Ming's 2-for-2 mid-range shooting from the beginning was still effective.

Dennis Macnado didn't dare to let go of Yao Ming. Yao Ming spread out, and Dennis Macnado followed him out, leaving a lot of space for Duan to get to the basket.

Duen directly cross-stepped and made a strong breakthrough, and then the European stepped to the basket and used small throws and layups to score consecutively in the paint.

"Ah Lian, you don't have to keep cutting inside. You can run to the bottom corner without the ball first, or you can change positions with Wang Shipeng and cut from the bottom corner to the basket."

Du En noticed that Yi Jianlian was playing too aggressively, but it was easy for him to get stuck at the basket, so he took the time to direct Yi Jianlian's work.

After the men's basketball team hit a 10-4 spurt in the first four minutes, the Italian team had to take the lead in calling a timeout and adjust its defensive arrangement.

"Dayao, please take a rest first!"

If Yunas said this, Yao Ming would definitely say: "Coach, I'm not tired, I'm just sweating." But when Du En spoke, Yao Ming just picked up a towel to wipe his sweat and sat down on the bench: "No problem, Dazhi will rely on you next."

"Liu Wei and Wang Shipeng, you two should rest first! Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu will join me later!"

Du En intervened in the player rotation again. Yunus noticed that he could only communicate with the interpreter first, but he didn't yell.

As for the players, Sun Yue heard Du En call his name and glanced at Du En, seemingly wondering: "What position should I play? Point guard? Yunus brought three point guards, so he can take turns. Until I control the ball?"

However, Sun Yue did not dare to ask any more questions and could only nod weakly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Ah Lian, you are young and your physical strength must be fine. Just fight with me for a while!
Moreover, you should have found the feeling of playing with me now, right?

If you feel it, hit it more and get used to it.

Future competitions will also depend on your performance! "

In the first half of the previous quarter, Du En could feel that Yi Jianlian wanted to do more.

For players who actively play basketball, Duan is more recognized.

Moreover, the Olympic Games will be held in two years. If Yi Jianlian is not trained, it will be difficult to win a medal in the Olympic Games.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing to give Yi Jianlian more opportunities, even if he may make mistakes.

Soon, the timeout ended and the men's basketball players continued to return to the court under the leadership of Duan.

The Italian team was originally planning to play more on the outside, but who would have thought that Yao Ming would be gone soon, so they temporarily adjusted their focus on the inside.

However, Wang Zhizhi has played in the NBA for so many years. No matter how bad his defense is, his physical condition is still good.

Although I still don't like confrontation, in order to make up for my previous mistakes and regrets, I still worked very hard on defense tonight.

Dennis McNado failed to hit Wang Zhizhi, but he did cause damage.

The first free throw was missed, but the second free throw was made.

The men's basketball team serves and resumes the offense.

Du En passed the ball to Sun Yue and encouraged: "Get a feel for it first, and then give it to me after halftime."

After Sun Yue got the ball, he was very cautious and focused. He completed the task of dribbling the ball through the half court meticulously, and then ran to the wing and became invisible.

However, Sun Yue was not needed on the offensive end of the men's basketball team. Du En continued to break through with the ball and went inside to find his teammates.

Yi Jianlian did not score for more than four minutes, but this time he was still active in cutting to the basket.

Du En saw Yi Jianlian running out, so he threw the ball into the sky. Yi Jianlian understood and jumped up to make an alley-oop.

The ball jumped a little high, and Yi Jianlian let it go a little after catching the ball.

But I was lucky. The basketball didn't hit the basket with much force, and finally bounced into the basket. However, it was supposed to be a dunk, but it turned into a "shooting star slam dunk."

Anyway, it's a good thing to score.

After the ball scored, Yi Jianlian was also amused by himself and smiled at Du En.

In order to encourage Yi Jianlian, Du En chose to nod towards Yi Jianlian.

In any case, after Yao Ming came off the court, someone inside the men's basketball team scored, and Du En's sudden score was not in vain, which is worthy of recognition.

In the past, without Duan, the men's basketball team would become another inferior team once Yao Ming left the game.

Now that Duane is in charge, he can inspire other players to score on the court, which is undoubtedly a good sign.

However, Du En doesn't trust Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian too much. As the boss of the team, he still needs to do some things himself.

Duan had a winning strategy in advance, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The Italian team did not pay enough attention to Yao Ming at the beginning, and Yao Ming failed to cause foul trouble on Denis Macnado.

So in order to win the game, Duan needs to break inside to cause damage and allow Dennis McNado to accumulate more fouls.

Also because there is inertia in playing, the Italian team noticed that Du En had been scoring points and looking for teammates.

Therefore, the pincer attack on Du En was not so tight, and more attention was paid to Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian.

Of course, after Duan reaches the paint area, the Italian inside players will still defend him, but they will not attack in advance.

What Duan was waiting for was Dennis MacNado coming over.

As Duen took the initiative to find a confrontation, after the layup was completed, the whistle also followed.

Two plus one, Duane allowed Dennis McNado to accumulate a foul count as soon as he took the shot.

When Yao Ming saw this scene off the court, he also remembered what Du En had explained in the locker room before.

"I'll come on stage later, I have to take action too!"

Although the men's basketball team now has a considerable advantage, Yao Ming still chose to follow Du En's instructions.

In particular, it is easy for the men's basketball team to have a big lead in the first half, even a ten-point lead, but by the end of the game, it has lost by more than ten points.

Therefore, if you want to win, you should follow Du En's plan.

"I can't play in the fourth quarter, and neither can you Dennis Macnado!"

The time soon came to more than seven minutes. With the help of a timeout, Duen finally chose to take a break and leave the rest of the game to his trusted teammates.

After a pause, Yao Ming also returned to lead the team.

Without Du En controlling the rhythm of the game, the men's basketball team reverted to the old routine of Liu Wei passing the ball to Yao Ming and Yao Ming playing in the low post.

However, the men's basketball team firmly took control of the game, and Yao Ming also continued to expand the score advantage through low-post singles.

The only unsatisfactory part is that Dennis Macnado was also resting off the court. Yao Ming was unable to cause trouble for Dennis Macnado in terms of the number of fouls.

Fortunately, after the first quarter, 26 to 14, the men's basketball team led the Italian team by 12 points, almost doubling its opponent.

You know, the Italian team was the runner-up team in the Athens Olympics two years ago. Without much change in the lineup, the men's basketball team can achieve this effect against the Italian team, which is definitely worthy of praise.

In the second quarter, Duan came on the field again to lead the team.

On the offensive end, they continued to kill inside and cause trouble for Dennis McNado.

On the defensive end, he still chose to lead Gianluca Basilei, forcing the opponent to constantly pick and roll around Duan, or pass the ball to other teammates.

Duane's influence on both offense and defense helped the men's basketball team continue to expand its advantage.

And Yao Ming also relied on Du En's help to score 20 points in advance before the end of the second quarter, becoming the first player to score 20 points in the game.

"This is the Yao-Du connection we have dreamed of!"

"Du En is too strong. Yao Ming has become stronger with Du En's help!"

"We have Du En and Yao Ming. Winning medals is really not a dream!"

"We should send players to the NBA to train and become as strong as Du En and Yao Ming!"

远道而来的国内球迷，看到上半场打完，杜恩16分3篮板6助攻1抢断，姚明22分4篮板2助攻1盖帽，激动的不能自已。

Du En and Yao Ming scored 38 points together. Normally, it should be a whole game's score. Who would have thought that they scored both in just half a game?
Not to mention, against a strong team like the Italian men's basketball team, the men's basketball team led by 18 points in the first half.

However, in the second half, the old problems of the men's basketball team were still exposed.

Even though Duan took the initiative to slow down the tempo of the game in the first half, the men's basketball players continued to return to defense and worked hard on defense, which also consumed a lot of energy.

Although the decline in offensive performance is not particularly serious, the steps have become heavier, the lateral speed has slowed down, and the defensive quality has declined, which has also given the Italian men's basketball team more opportunities to hit shots.

The Italian men's basketball team has limited internal strength and can only try to shoot to chase points in the third quarter, while most European players shoot well.

The men's basketball team is not very defensive on the perimeter, so it can only use more physical contact under Du En's emphasis to interfere with the opponent's shooting.

At the same time, Duan's offense with the ball also maintained the efficiency of the first half.

In the third quarter, Duan scored 14 points alone.

Originally, Du En was lagging behind Yao Ming in scoring, but by the end of the third quarter, Du En was 2 points more than Yao Ming.

And Yao Du scored 58 points in three quarters, which also made the basketball leaders on the sidelines laugh like crazy.

Not only because of the excellent scoring data of Du En and Yao Ming, the key is that the men's basketball team entered the fourth quarter with a 16-point lead under the leadership of Du En and Yao Ming.

In the past, after the third quarter, the score was basically tied or even overtaken.

Now with such a huge advantage, why can't we win?
In the view of the basketball leaders, as long as Duan casually scores another seven or eight points in the fourth quarter, the game will be won.

What's more, even if Yao Ming doesn't have enough energy, it's still okay to score one or two more points.

It was also because Duan had planned it from the beginning, and Dennis McNado was beaten less than half of the fourth quarter.

Although Yao Ming didn't play much time in the fourth quarter, he still scored 2 points and reached 30 points.

As for the reason why Yao Ming did not play much time in the fourth quarter, on the one hand, it was due to Yao Ming's own physical strength, and on the other hand, it was also because the game situation was relatively clear in the fourth quarter. Before Dennis McNado was knocked off the field, the outcome was basically decided. confirmed.

The men's basketball team just relied on Duan's personal ability to turn the rest of the game into garbage time in advance.

Yao Ming thus got more rest time.

Chen Jianghua, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian and others also received more playing time accordingly.

"Thank you for your hard work Du En!"

When Du En left the game early in the fourth quarter, Director Li, the basketball manager, personally stepped forward to greet Du En.

而杜恩对于自己的世锦赛首秀，也给出了21投15中，三分5投3中，罚球5投5中，38分6篮板11助攻2抢断1盖帽的完美答卷。

Four years ago, also in the World Championships, Yao Ming also scored an outstanding 38 points, and Duan played the style of an NBA superstar in the first game.

94 to 83. After the news of the victory in the first game of the Men's Basketball World Championships and the 11-point victory over Italy spread back to the country, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country was excited.

However, as the boss of the men's basketball team, Dunn is not particularly optimistic about this.

You know, on the second day of the group stage, the men's basketball team will face the Dream Seven team that beat them by 46 points some time ago.

Although they are also in Group D, the men's basketball team and Dream Team [-] will meet sooner or later.

But now the men's basketball team hasn't adjusted well yet. If they play Dream Team [-] again in a few days, their chances of winning will definitely be much higher.

It is worth mentioning that in order to defeat Duen, a foreign NBA champion and finals MVP, this year's Dream Seven team is not the rookie team led by James in Duen's memory.

But the good news is that James is still here.

On August 8, the war reignited, and the men’s basketball team faced the Dream Team 20! (End of chapter)
