Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 484 Challenge the Argentine Team
The Chinese team, which broke into the quarter-finals of the World Championships, has already overfulfilled the task ahead of schedule, and the mentality of the rest of the game can be relaxed, no matter whether it wins or loses, the trip is worthwhile.

But the head coach Wang Fei didn't think so. The outstanding performance of the Chinese team made his confidence soaring. He actually shouted the slogan "Win the World Championships" in a "daring and reckless" way, which shocked everyone in Zhou Yu's goosebumps. Passed out.

Because in the next "eight into four" game, they will face the South American champion, the Argentine team led by "Demon Sword" Ginobili.

The strength of the Argentine men's basketball team should not be underestimated. They not only have a good overall tactical awareness, but also have superb personal skills. It is quite difficult to beat such an almost impeccable world team.

As soon as Wang Fei's impassioned speech at the pre-match mobilization meeting ended, there was a sudden silence around him, and no one answered.

"I know that it is not easy to defeat those European and American teams. Their physical fitness and basketball skills are better than ours, but through the previous contests with them, we can see that those world-class teams are nothing more than that. possibility of victory.

We also have our advantages. For example, we have the "Most Valuable Player of the Finals" who returned from studying in the NBA, Mr. Wang Zhizhi who led the Lakers to win two consecutive championships, and we also have the outstanding representative of the young generation with a height of 2.26 meters "Little Giant" Yao Ming, together with those experienced three-point shooters on the outside who have a stable shooting rate, I really can't see how we are compared with them. "

Wang Fei cleared his throat and spoke eloquently.

After Wang Fei's words, the scene became cold again, and no one dared to speak up.

"Big Zhi, tell me, how can we beat our next opponent, the Argentine team?"

Wang Fei turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, winking and winking.

Zhou Yu suddenly felt his scalp numb and his hands and feet were cold, and he said slowly:

"Coach, I'm sorry, I haven't figured out a way to win yet."

"Then you can simply analyze what are the characteristics of the Argentine team."

Wang Fei frowned, feeling unwilling.

Zhou Yu smiled wryly. He really wanted to say, isn't this what you should say as the head coach? Why is it my turn to say it? However, he has always known Wang Fei's violent temper, so he said slowly:

"The Argentine team can be said to be a very good team that integrates overall tactics and personal skills. The outside players have a strong ability to break through and attack tough problems, and the inside players are also very flexible, able to shoot and pass..."

"Okay, Da Zhi, you've already said enough about their advantages, let's talk about their disadvantages."

Seeing that Zhou Yu was so "not enlightened", Wang Fei quickly stopped him in a cold voice.

"Their shortcoming is that the inside height is not as good as ours."

Zhou Yu thought about it, and finally his eyes lit up.

"Beautiful! This is exactly what I want to say. We have an absolute height advantage in the interior. As long as we make full use of this and make a few more three-pointers from the outside, the game should be settled!"

Wang Fei snapped his fingers and said excitedly.

Zhou Yu raised his forehead with one hand when he heard the words. Wang Fei's logic seems a bit "wishful thinking". The height advantage also brings a speed disadvantage. Doesn't he understand such a simple truth? He is clearly pouring nonsensical "chicken soup for the soul" into the players ".

Although Wang Fei's words didn't work for Zhou Yu, they did work for the other players. In the previous game where the weak defeated the strong, everyone saw the possibilities in Zhou Yu and Yao Ming, so they got up one after another and expressed their gratitude to these two players. My dear friend shook hands and said:
"Brothers, look at your bravery, we will play a very good auxiliary role on the outside."

"Brother Wang, are the two of us really so good? It seems that the saying in the basketball world that 'the insider wins the world' is true."

Yao Ming turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, slightly excited.

"Brother, you'd better be clear-headed and calm. The height advantage on the basketball court is not absolute. You should be more flexible, don't stick to the inside line, and pay attention to avoiding serious problems, otherwise we will both leave the court early to rest."

Zhou Yu patted Yao Ming's shoulder and said earnestly.

"I see, Brother Wang."

Yao Ming blinked his ignorant eyes, seeming to understand but not understand.

One day later, the "Four Finals" match between the Chinese team and the Argentine team came as scheduled, and many Chinese fans came to watch the match, and the number of them was much higher than before, probably because the amazing performance of the Chinese men's basketball team attracted more fans. Pay more attention.

"Director Zhang, what do you think of this match?"

Su Qun, who was sitting in the commentary seat, turned to look at Zhang Weiping and asked with great interest.

"In the past, I would have said that the Argentine team would have defeated the Chinese team without any suspense, but now it is different. Our national team has NBA superstars like Big Zhi, plus the support of the 'little giant' Yao Ming. , It should be said that the Chinese team has a relatively large advantage inside, as long as we prevent the Argentine team from breaking through outside, we still have a great chance of winning."

Zhang Weiping said a little emotionally.

"Director Zhang is right. The Chinese men's basketball team is not what it used to be. It has the strength to beat any European and American teams. It makes us commentators a lot harder."

Su Qun nodded and agreed with a smile.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team is as follows:

Point guard: Li Xiaoyong, shooting guard: Wu Qinglong, small forward: Hu Weidong, power forward: Wang Zhizhi, center: Yao Ming.

The Argentine team's starting lineup includes the "Demon Sword" Ginobili who played for the NBA Spurs. The other four are all playing in high-level European basketball leagues, and their strength on paper is obviously better.

The contest between the two sides in the first quarter was quickly staged. Yao Ming took advantage of his height and once again won the ball for the Chinese team first.

Li Xiaoyong crossed the half court with the ball, Yao Ming fell to the low position, Wu Qinglong and Hu Weidong lined up at the two ends, Zhou Yu was careful, and deliberately stayed in the high position in order to prevent the Argentine team's fast-break counterattack.

In this way, Yao Ming became the main attack point inside. Li Xiaoyong's breakthrough with the ball was quickly blocked. Argentina's outside defense is indeed very strong.

After Hu Weidong got the ball, he continued to break through with the ball, but the breakthrough effect was still not good. The Argentine team's rotation defense was in place, so Hu Weidong had to pass the ball to Yao Ming, who was in the low post.

Yao Ming immediately held the ball and played back. The Argentine center forward who defended him was only 2.13 meters tall. He was at an absolute disadvantage in height, but his lower limbs were strong.

In desperation, Yao Ming had no choice but to turn around and move the small hook horizontally. Although the distance was a little farther, he still hit it smoothly with a good touch!

"2:0", the Chinese team took the lead in winning the "good start", and Yao Ming's low singles made a good start for the Chinese team.

The Argentine team immediately organized a counterattack across the board. Ginobili held the ball across the half and organized the team's attack.

The "snake-shaped breakthrough" of "Demon Sword" is really powerful. It quickly passed through the outer defense line of the Chinese team, and through a dexterous "European step" layup, it successfully avoided Zhou Yu and Yao Ming's blocks and succeeded in a low-handed layup!
"2:2", the two sides draw.

In the next round, Yao Ming still planned to use the inside line to open up the situation for the Chinese team, but he didn't feel good, so he turned around and made a small hook and finally came out of the frame.

After the Argentine team grabbed the rebound, Ginobili quickly organized a fast-break counterattack. Fortunately, Zhou Yu stood up in advance and used his defensive experience and blocking skills to successfully interfere with Ginobili's mid-air layup. Grab the rebound.

In this round of offense, Zhou Yu personally held the ball across the half court and acted as a point guard. The two sides played brilliantly and brilliantly in the opening stage, which attracted the fans to cheer.
