After completing the task of overtaking the score, Stephen made another three-pointer, so that his score today has exceeded 35 points. At this time, Stephen chose to rest and made it clear that he would not participate in the next game Yes, he wants to rest.

Stephen mainly wanted to see if his group of national team teammates could win the game without themselves. You must know that there is only less than one and a half quarters before the end of the game, and it is still China. The national team leads by four points.

On the one hand, Stephen wants to see their abilities, whether they can win the game, what he can observe when he is on the court and when he is off the court is not certain, Stephen wants to know more about the strength of his side and the opponent. The gap in the field, and what advantages do they have, which cannot be seen on the court.

"Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." This sentence is very good. You must clearly recognize your own advantages, and then you must also know the opponent's advantages. Only in this way can you use your strengths and avoid weaknesses to win. Stephen knows that he does not know much about international basketball. , so in addition to experiencing it personally, I also want to observe it with my own eyes.

This game is just a warm-up match, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. Even if you lose, Stephen also wants to see how the psychological quality of his teammates is. After being led by the opponent, do they have the confidence and determination to chase points? Keep going impatiently, this is what Stephen wants to see.

Fortunately, after Stephen left the court, Li Nan continued to stay on the court, and at the same time Liu Wei came on the court to form a lineup of double point guards with Sun Yue. This approach is very useful for securing the ball and breaking the tight defense. At the same time, the two take turns Control the ball, and it is not easy to be disrupted by the opponent.

Sun Yue is tall enough. At a glance, he looks like a small forward, but he is actually a player who can play from the first to the third position. He is also a rare all-rounder in the Chinese national team. The domestic training mechanism can appear Such players are indeed rare.

Although his body is thin, his confrontation is not bad, but he is a bit lacking when he is a small forward. When he plays shooting guard and point guard, he generally does not have any problems, but whether he is playing shooting guard or small forward, His scoring ability has some shortcomings.

He is not good at breakthroughs and shooting, which is why he can only stay in this position, but it is not too bad. He may not be qualified to be the main player in the national team, but it is more than enough to be a substitute, and he is versatile. The characteristics are more suitable for substitutes.

Although the combination of double point guards suffered some losses in offensive ability, they were able to grasp the rhythm of the game, especially when they were in the lead. Although the Croatian national team launched several counterattacks after seeing Stephen off the field, they failed to change The situation on the field.

The Chinese national team kept the lead until the middle of the fourth quarter. At this time, Croatia suddenly started to feel better, and the Chinese national team was relaxed because of the long-term lead. After Jonas called a timeout, They called people down and yelled at them, and then changed the lineup, replacing Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng, who were the most slack, and replaced them with Zhu Fangyu and Chen Jianghua.

Although he is still a double point guard, his body has been lowered and his defense has also declined, but his speed has increased. After Chen Jianghua came up, he attacked the basket several times in a row and it was effective, making Croatia's efforts come to naught. And this At that time, Wang Zhizhi broke out suddenly, he made a three-pointer from the outside, and he went to the basket to score points. His offensive skills were amazing.

When Stephen entered the league, he had basically withdrawn from the league. Stephen didn't know much about him. He only knew that he had reached the point where he couldn't play in the league. Moreover, he was older than Yao Ming and had physical advantages. Not as good as Yao Ming, and not as athletic as Yi Jianlian, Stephen has been ignoring his existence.

Stephen suddenly discovered that Wang Zhizhi possessed such a strong personal ability. He felt that even if he was placed among the big men in the league, he was still at an excellent level in terms of offense. Even if he couldn't be the main force, he should still be qualified as a substitute.

However, after watching Stephen for a while, he found that although Wang Zhizhi's offense was very good, reaching A-level by popular standards, his defense was at most B-level, and this was when the opponent's physical confrontation was not too strong. Next, if it is changed to an alliance, it should only be at the b- level.

This is not enough. For ordinary substitute players, the first thing to do is to defend well. Only when you defend well, the head coach will dare to put you on the field with confidence. Wang Zhizhi happens to be a strong offensive player and a weak defensive player. Players, this is the problem, a big player, the first thing to do is to be able to carry it, if you can't carry it, it won't work.

For outside players, if you are particularly good offensively, you may still have a foothold, but for inside players, especially Wang Zhizhi is still a foreign player and he is too old, so it is even more difficult to find a job.

And I heard that at that time he had a very stiff dispute with the basketball management center. Some teams wanted to use him for the sake of the Chinese market. It's worth it, but it's too late to say anything now.

With the help of Wang Zhizhi's explosion, the Chinese national team regained its leading position. In the end, the Croatian team shot three-pointers like crazy, but the effect was not very good, and they lacked offense at the basket. The expansion of the defensive line made it more difficult for their three-point line.

In the end, Stephen only played two and a half quarters, and scored 35 points, six rebounds, nine assists, three steals, two blocks and three turnovers. Wake Company needed to spend another 58, but Stephen appeared in the national team After that, his popularity in the country rose rapidly, which also brought a significant improvement to their performance, and they paid the money willingly.

At this time, Unilever's advertisements had already begun to be fully promoted in the country, and the Qingyang men's shampoo endorsed by Stephen had also begun to be sold in an all-round way. At first, the sales volume was not obvious, but as Stephen became more and more popular, and then In addition, many novel tryers became repeat customers, and the sales volume increased all the way, which made Unilever very satisfied.

Stephen's popularity boosted product sales, and accordingly, advertisements boosted Stephen's popularity, but the management team behind Stephen also paid great attention to this point, so that Stephen's advertisements would not be so focused, so as not to arouse the fans' resentment.

The match against Croatia was also played in three consecutive cities in three cities. After arriving at the venue of the second match, someone came to the hotel where the national team was staying in the name of a relative to ask to see Stephen. Stephen was very surprised. He came out to have a look. I don't know any of them.
