Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 359 It's All Your Brother
Compared with the Lebanese team, the Chinese men's basketball players must be better than the opponent technically, but they are slightly disadvantaged in physical confrontation.

In fact, poor physical confrontation ability has always been the shortcoming of the Chinese men's basketball team. Gong Luming knows this very well.

Therefore, in the pre-match training, he specially emphasized to the players that they should not be afraid of physical confrontation with the Lebanese players, and they should play harder.

As soon as Gong Luming finished speaking, Wang Fei walked up to him and suggested in a low voice:

"Lao Gong, Da Zhi is a player who came back from the NBA. The NBA has always been known for its fierce physical confrontation. Should Da Zhi talk about how we should deal with fierce competition?"

"Old Wang, what you said makes sense." Gong Luming's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, "Da Zhi, you are the only one on the team who has played in the NBA. Practice, tell us how we can deal with Lebanon's physical strength."

Zhou Yu was flattered when he heard the words. In fact, during his return to the national team, his throat has been scratched all the time. However, due to the authority of the two coaches, he dared not speak too much. This time he finally had the opportunity, and he suddenly felt emotional .

"Dear two coaches, dear teammates, based on my experience playing in the NBA, I think that when dealing with stronger teams, we should try our best to use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and rely on superb skills and tacit tactics to get them."

Zhou Yu cleared his throat and said.

However, as soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a trace of coldness in Gong Luming's eyes. Obviously, what he said was different from what Gong Luming said.

"Of course, what Coach Gong said is very reasonable. We shouldn't be afraid of physical confrontation. If that happens, the opponent's arrogance will only become more and more arrogant. Strengthening physical confrontation is also very necessary."

Zhou Yu continued to talk eloquently.

"Da Zhi, can you be more specific?"

Gong Luming said impatiently.

"To be specific, I will still sit on the inside and hit the opponent's basket with a strong attack. Others should not be idle. Those who are good at breaking through should strengthen the breakthrough with the ball. Those who are good at shooting should try to open the situation on the outside as much as possible. Those who pass the ball can feed more good balls to their teammates. In short, we must give full play to our own advantages. If we do this, it should not be a problem to win the Lebanon team."

Zhou Yu said slowly.

Gong Luming frowned. Although what Zhou Yu said still sounded like nonsense, it sounded impeccable, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"One more thing, everyone should pay attention to the fact that the shooting level of the Lebanese players is not high. When you are defending, you can properly shift your focus to the inside, seize the opportunity of the fast break and counterattack, and give full play to our fast break and three-point advantages."

Wang Fei added.

"Coach Wang is right. Fast breaks and three-pointers have always been the strengths of our national team. We must carry forward our fine traditions."

Zhou Yu immediately echoed.

Gong Luming felt a little sour in his heart, and secretly complained that the pair of "teacher and apprentice" cooperated tacitly enough, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him as the head coach.

In a blink of an eye, the last round of the group match between the Chinese team and the Lebanese team came as scheduled. The head coaches of the two sides exchanged a few words, and after the players from both sides shook hands, the match was about to start.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team remains unchanged:
Point guard: Li Xiaoyong, shooting guard: Zhang Jinsong, small forward: Hu Weidong, power forward: Gong Xiaobin, center: Wang Zhizhi.

However, the starting players of the Lebanese team made Zhou Yu take a deep breath. Their players are not only tall enough, but also muscular. They are obviously one size bigger than the Chinese players, especially the skin of the two inside players. Yes, quite a taste of the NBA.

"Big Zhi, remember to pass a few more good balls to my brother. The Lebanese team's muscular men are too strong. I don't think I can get any cheap."

Zhang Jinsong approached Zhou Yu and reminded him in a low voice.

"Brother Song, haven't I passed you enough good balls? You have to pass a few good balls to my brother, at least you have to do 'reciprocity'."

Zhou Yu was a little dissatisfied.

"Big Zhi, after all, you came back from the NBA. You have both physical advantages and technical advantages. How can you compare with you? Besides, our buddies have a good relationship in private, and they all came from the Bayi team. Do you still care about this matter with me?"

Zhang Jinsong put his arms around Zhou Yu's shoulders, and said earnestly.

"Okay, Brother Song, I'll do my best."

Zhou Yu nodded helplessly and agreed.

"That's right, Da Zhi, it's not in vain that my brother took good care of you back then."

Zhang Jinsong nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left.

Not long after Zhang Jinsong left, Hu Weidong quietly approached him and whispered:
"Big Zhi, I think the Lebanese players seem to be in good health."

"Yeah, they all look like they came out of the gym."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Dong may have eaten some indigestible food in the past two days, and he has diarrhea. It is a bit inconvenient to move, but he can still shoot. So, remember to pass two more good shots to brother when you have the opportunity .”

Hu Weidong smiled.

Zhou Yu smiled wryly, and secretly complained, if you want me to feed the ball, just say so, why bother to find so many reasons.

"Big Zhi, you don't have to be too difficult, just do your best. Are those biscuits I gave you delicious?"

Hu Weidong said.

Only then did Zhou Yu suddenly realize that Hu Weidong has often given him his own cream biscuits these days.

"Brother Dong, don't worry, I am a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Zhou Yu spoke loudly.

"Well done, Da Zhi, Brother Dong really saw the right person."

Hu Weidong nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

Just as Hu Weidong left, Zhou Yu suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder, and turned around to see that it was Li Xiaoyong.

"Brother Yong, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yu asked subconsciously.

"It's not a big deal. Brother Yong just didn't expect that the Lebanese players are so strong physically. In order to avoid injuries, I may have fewer breakthroughs with the ball and more shots."

Although Li Xiaoyong said it clearly, the implication is something that can be heard by individuals.

Zhou Yu complained secretly, and asked him to feed the ball. How can the game be played? He might as well play point guard instead.

However, Li Xiaoyong seldom begged him, Zhou Yu was too embarrassed to refuse him when he asked him out of nowhere.

"Brother Yong, don't worry, I'm in good health and I'm not afraid of getting hurt. I'll definitely pass the ball to you if I have a good chance."

Zhou Yu said.

"Young man, sure enough, his firepower is strong, and his speech is different."

Li Xiaoyong patted Zhou Yu's shoulder and said with a satisfied smile.

After Li Xiaoyong left, Zhou Yu looked around and found that only Gong Xiaobin didn't ask him for help, so he stepped forward and asked involuntarily:
"Brother Bin, do you need my help?"
