Chapter 332 Defense and Offense

The Croatian team's defense caused some troubles to the national team, but their offense was even more difficult. Their team did not have the inside line who was good at shooting like the Greek team, nor did they have a super scorer like Navarro. After Shi Lei succeeded in attacking, As soon as Croatia's offense entered the paint, it was blocked by Yao Ming.

Although they quickly responded with their own defense, at the end of the first quarter, they were still 11 points behind the national team at 18:7.

However, this is already their strongest defensive stance. The two strong points of the national team are really beyond their reach for them.

In the second quarter, the two sides still played with the main players. After a quarter of trial and exploration, Shi Lei became familiar with the opponent's routines. Shi Lei began to pass more balls to the inside, and put most of his energy on defense.

Yao Ming, who is full of physical strength, is definitely a terrifying existence in the international arena. When the opponent can't stop him from receiving the basketball, they will lose the last chance to defend Yao Ming.

On the offensive end, the national team was hit by Yao Ming consecutively. On the defensive end, Shi Lei also began to lead the national team to actively block Croatia.

"Shi Lei lowered his offense and strengthened the organization of the team. The effect of this was very good. Yao Ming's continuous strong inside play made the Croatian team's inside difficult to deal with. Their main center forward even committed two fouls , replaced by a young Rodic."

"During this period of time, the national team worked hard and played a good goal. Shi Lei's defense caused the Croatian team to make an offensive error, and the national team quickly counterattacked!"

When the team's offense does not require too much energy from himself, there is no need to worry too much about physical problems. Shi Lei's defensive range has begun to expand sharply. His defense that can almost cover the entire three-point line makes Croatia more dependent. Group attacks are difficult to organize effectively.

With Shi Lei's "Sewing Fix", the defense of the national team has never been tighter.

"I can't find shooting space from the outside, and I can't get into the basket from the inside. Croatia wants to win this game. It's a bit difficult!"

Director Zhang was extremely far-fetched, and used low-key words to describe the situation Croatia is currently facing.

In the middle of the second quarter, the national team has expanded its lead to 13 points, but because of too much offensive effort, Yao Ming's physical strength began to have problems.

At this time, the situation of the national team will make people particularly worried. Seeing Yao Ming being replaced, Director Gong's relaxed expression turned serious: "The national team has replaced Yao Ming, roughly the same as Yi Jianlian. Partner insider!"

The Croatian team also realized that they had an opportunity to chase points, and the main center was replaced on the field within a few minutes of the end.

"No chance, roughly blocked the Croatian center's layup!"

The general lack of confrontation at the basket, but it can also score opponents. He is definitely not good against O'Neal, but once he is on the inside line, which is known for his strength, his general blocking ability and moving speed can still cause a lot of trouble for the opponent. .

Although the national team has Yao Ming supporting the sky, it is generally not to be underestimated.

"Shi Lei! Protected this rebound, hurry up!"

Without Yao Ming on the court, Shi Lei knew that he had to take on more offensive responsibilities. Croatia's defense was still very strong against the national team teammates other than Yao Ming.

After grabbing the rebound, Shi Lei dribbled the ball down quickly.

"Foul, Croatia implemented foul tactics against Shi Lei!"

Shi Lei's technical characteristics, including his physical fitness, were carefully analyzed by all participating teams after the national team defeated the Greek team. Most of the teams came to the same final conclusion—difficult to defend!
After combining Shi Lei's rebounding ability, speed, and driving ability, they came to the conclusion that the best way to defend is to foul!
After being sent to the free throw line by the opponent, Shi Lei made two free throws, widening the point difference between the two sides to 15 points.

This is the middle of the second quarter of the game, and there is still a long period of time before the game ends, but Croatia still started its Jedi counterattack from this time.

If they can't even seize this opportunity, the Croatians know that they will completely lose all opportunities!

The Croatian team, which uses defense as its winning strategy, began to spread its defense across the half of the national team.

"Croatia launched a full-court press!"

The full-court press consumes a lot of physical energy for the defenders, but the Croatian team has no other choice. What they want to fight for now is only the last ray of life left!

Although the full-court press was a nightmare that haunted the national team for a long time, but now, the players of the national team are somewhat immune, because Shi Lei has proved himself to be a reliable ball handler in the past few games. players.

As soon as Shi Lei took over, the other players of the national team scattered around Croatia's defense and rushed towards the opponent's half. Soon, only Shi Lei was left alone in the backcourt.

Croatia's outside line came to double-team immediately, but Shi Lei didn't give them a chance to get close, quickly moved his position horizontally, and then accelerated and broke through.

The huge space on the court is enough for Shi Lei to do whatever he wants.

This is the embarrassment of Croatia, there is no one in their team who can keep up with Shi Lei's speed.

"Shi Lei gave full play to his advantage in speed, and under the double-teaming of Croatia, he quickly broke through to the opponent's half!"

After Shi Lei broke through to the opponent's half, Croatia's defense was already very loose under the influence of his teammates from the national team. The only outside players left in their backcourt came up to fill the position. The opponent spared the past.

Sun Yue was not greedy for credit, Shi Lei completed the cut, and his pass was immediately passed to Shi Lei's hands.

Holding the ball deep into the opponent's penalty area, in this case, Shi Lei was the most threatening, and the two Croatian insiders had to get out of the basket.

Shi Lei threw the ball high and assisted Yi Jianlian for a dunk.

After Yao Ming left the field, the national team's offense did not come to a standstill because of the loss of this tactical fulcrum. On the contrary, after Shi Lei strengthened his personal offense, Croatia's defense still could not effectively restrict the national team.

When you want to chase points, if you can't defend your opponent, everything is in vain.

"The halftime game is over. Although Croatia's offense has improved in the second half, the national team has also continued their good offensive touch and continued to expand their lead to [-] points!"
