After Stephen left the field, Yao Ming returned to the field. He had just had enough rest and his physical condition was very good. He came up to continuously hit the Lithuanian national team's inside line. Yao Ming was in an offensive state, no matter whether he was playing in the league or in the international arena. , are unstoppable, and the point difference has not been narrowed, but has also been expanded to more than double digits.

The head coach of the Lithuanian national team originally wanted to wait for Stephen to leave the field to launch a counterattack. Unexpectedly, the counterattack did not start, and he had to deal with Yao Ming's strong attack. Now he will solve the defensive problem first, call a timeout and arrange a new one. defensive strategy.

It is easy to limit Yao Ming without enough outside support, but after the defensive adjustments take effect, the first half will be over, and finally the two sides entered the intermission with a double-digit advantage.

Such a first half was not only enjoyed by ordinary fans, but also the commentators who were in charge of broadcasting the game also praised the performance of the Chinese national team in the first half. Leading the opponent until the end of the first half fully proves the strength of the Chinese national team.

And this strength is not simply reflected in scoring, but in the control of the game situation. In the past, when the Chinese national team faced those strong players, even if they took the lead occasionally, they played tremblingly and could not grasp the leading advantage. It is easy to be overtaken by the opponent, not to mention if it is behind. It is a typical portrayal of the Chinese national team when it is behind.

This is not the case now. Whether it is leading or lagging behind, the Chinese national team can face it calmly and always face the opponent with an untiring attitude. This is the biggest change that Stephen has brought to the Chinese national team after he came to the Chinese national team .

In the words of a certain guide, this is called the spirit of a general. Although Yao Ming also has a leadership temperament, Yao Ming's leadership temperament is restrained. It is no problem to lead the national team, but it is a bit unacceptable to lead the Rockets. But Stephen is different. He It took only one season to bring the Sonics to an extremely high level. Naturally, there is no need to say more about his leadership qualities, and his strength is even more amazing. The combination of the two parties makes no one dissatisfied with him.

From a technical and tactical point of view, the combination of Stephen and Yao Ming is also one of the best combinations in basketball, and the coordination effect between the two is also very good, especially Stephen, who is not as greedy for the ball as he was in the team , but has always maintained a pass-first style.

In the national team competitions Stephen participated in, the earlier the game, the higher the personal score, and the later the game, the lower the personal score, but the assist data rose in the opposite direction. Except for the first two or three games, the latter Stephen's average assists per game has been on the rise.

This shows that the team is becoming more and more dependent on his passing, and it also shows that his integration into the team is getting better and better. In the eyes of professionals, this is very obvious.

These are all changes under the leadership of Stephen, especially under his control, the team's control of the game situation has increased by more than one level. A strong team already has the ability to confront in an all-round way.

In the second half, Stephen did not play, but let Yao Ming continue to lead the team to play. After adjustments in the midfield, Lithuania's offense began to change. In addition to insisting on passing the ball, it was no longer persistent on offense. Instead of shooting from the outside, he increased the number of offenses at the basket.

Under such changes, the weakness of the Chinese national team's weak perimeter defense has once again appeared. No matter what method the opponent uses to break through, they can't find a way to deal with it. Actively stopped them, but also paid the price of two fouls.

You must know that in the international arena, you will leave after five fouls. Lithuania's tactics are also the tactics that many teams are used to against Yao Ming, which is to constantly attack your basket. Although Yao Ming's defense is not bad, It doesn't stir, it's relatively safe, and although the bounce is not high, the height is quite intimidating, but it can't hold back the number of times it is attacked, and you will naturally be replaced if you make too many fouls.

After the Rockets had Sean Battier, Yao Ming's weakness in this area was made up for, and after Chuck Hayes came to Yao Ming's side, Yao Ming had another barrier. The reason why he played very well in two seasons.

Every player has his own advantages and disadvantages, which is inevitable. While players must strive to improve themselves, the team must also adjust tactics so that players can make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses. This is also one of the functions of tactics. In Van Gundy's In the tactical system, protecting Yao Ming is the primary condition for the team's defense.

In the national team, no one can play the role of Sean Battier. Like Zhu Fangyu, his role in the tactical system is more defensive. The main reason is his physical advantage, and he will not suffer in international competitions. , but it's just not at a disadvantage, and it's not cheap, and it has weight and strength advantages, so its footwork is not very flexible, it can't afford the team's entire perimeter defense, and it can only do one thing to the opponent's players One-on-one defense.

And when Stephen was there, no matter what position the opponent's player wanted to attack the basket, he would block or interfere with him. When dealing with him, it would not be so easy to attack Yao Ming, so Stephen joined After the Chinese national team, the improvement of offense is the least important.

But these are invisible to ordinary people. They only see that after entering the national team, Stephen scored [-] to [-] points every game, basically a quasi-triple double. Fan Xiang, with Stephen in the national team, it really feels different from before.

Originally because of the relationship between Yao Ming and football's disappointment, the attention of basketball has been increasing, gradually threatening the position of football as the number one collective sport, and with the opening of the Olympic Games in China, a century The dream came true, and the enthusiasm and spirit of the Chinese people to participate in sports has been greatly improved.

Among the three major ball sports of football, basketball and volleyball, needless to say, volleyball has achieved certain results, especially women's volleyball, but the influence of this sport is still relatively small in the world.

Although football is recognized as the number one sport in the world, Chinese football will always be the scar of Chinese fans. The international ranking has been in the dozens, and they can't even participate in the group stage. After being beaten [-]-[-] and coming back, the fans alone are happier than eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

Basketball does not have much influence in the international arena. Of course, it is much better than volleyball. However, the ranking of Chinese basketball in the international arena is relatively high, and every World Championship or Olympic Games can also play in the group stage, at least Better than football.

In this year's Olympics, the three major ball games, not to mention the women's team, among the men's team, football only entered because of the reason of the host, volleyball is not much better, only the basketball team has a real record , at least there is no problem in ruling the roost in Asia.

With the addition of Stephen, while seeing that the strength of the team has improved significantly, the expectations of the Chinese people have also increased a lot, and the attention has also increased significantly. Many people who have never paid attention to basketball now see the game. Will stop and watch for a while.

This kind of change is actually enough. The development of anything is not something that can be achieved overnight. When looking at the development of something, one should take a long-term perspective and look at it over several years and decades. At least many people know that, If you play basketball well, you can also look like a star and be sought after wherever you go.

Yao Ming's exit was accompanied by Stephen's entry. At this time, Stephen also strengthened his attack on the opponent's basket. After all, the penalty standards in the international arena are very different from those in the league, especially in terms of penalty scale. The league is mainly for viewing. Therefore, the penalties are generally biased towards offensive players, especially for breakthrough fouls. At the same time, as a supernova player, Stephen also enjoys the taste of a star whistle to a certain extent. Many times, others will call him a foul if they make a move on him.

But when it comes to the international arena, although they are also running on the principle of favorable offense, they are not so biased towards offensive players, let alone reach the standard of body hair level. You are tight.

Stephen wanted to take this opportunity to try more. Although when he was in the league, he didn't take care of the referee's standards when he broke through, because his breakthrough was relatively simple, but most of the time he squeezed in hard, no Like a lot of people rushing in and falling down when they touch it, his way of breaking through is more in line with the rules of international basketball.

However, adjustments and improvements still need to be made. In the previous few games, Stephen’s breakthroughs were much less than usual. Most of the time they were long shots or shots without the ball, breakthrough shots or layups. The number of times is relatively small, but today, seeing that the opponent has adopted the offensive method of breakthrough, Stephen is a little pleased with the pursuit, and also strengthened the breakthrough.

The Lithuanian players didn't have much impression of Stephen's strength. Although Kleiza had reminded them, seeing Stephen's small stature, not to mention his stature, he wasn't as stout as many people, or at least looked solid. A little bit is fine, but Stephen is in the shape of an ordinary player.

Many people wondered whether Kleiza exaggerated Stephen's strength, but they tried it as soon as Stephen broke through. Stephen just went straight to the basket, no matter how much the defensive players pushed, they couldn't change Stephen's direction of travel. , And when they got to the basket, Stephen was even more surprised by squeezing the defender to score like an inside player.
