Chapter 416 Inside Attack and Defense
The time soon came to July 7, and the match between China and Spain was scheduled for 29:3 pm local time, which was also the opening match of Group B that day.The heat of this game is not inferior to the last US-French battle in Group A. After all, China and Spain also have many NBA players in the team, and Xu Hao, the newly released FMVP, also has a lot to watch.

The only thing that fans regret a little is that this time Xu Hao’s Timberwolves teammate Rubio did not participate in the Olympics. If the European golden boy who just passed his rookie season can play, the duel between the two Timberwolves players will make the game more exciting. more hot.But even without Rubio, the inside offense and defense of the two teams are enough to make fans excited.

Deng Huade's prediction is very accurate. Spain's starting inside combination is Gasol and Ibaka, and Gasol will play as a substitute for his brother during the rotation time.Spain's backcourt is Fernandez and Calderon. Veteran Navarro actively asks to play as a substitute in order to give young people more opportunities. The small forward position is Clavo, who plays in Spain. This is a relatively comprehensive wing. Swing upwards, while having an open three-pointer, he can also break through with the ball.

Speaking of which, Spain's lineup is as unreliable as China's. Those players who have played or are currently playing in the NBA are basically concentrated in the backcourt and inside. The wing positions are all players they cultivated themselves and played in Spain.In addition to Claver, who was placed in the starting lineup, Lies and Emmetrio also played in the ACB league.

During the team meeting before, Deng Huade revealed the idea of ​​wanting to put three shooters on the outside at the same time, and Huaxia's starting lineup for this game completely followed his idea.As the FMVP of the new division, Xu Hao is naturally the unshakable starter in the first position. Wang Shipeng continues to play with him, and Zhu Fangyu, another super shooter of Hongyuan, appears in the third position. Wang 7 and Zhu 8 are well-known domestically. For the pitcher, the inside combination is still Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

This lineup is almost the strongest lineup Deng Huade can put out, and he feels that this can completely compete with Spain.The inside line is already comparable to the opponent, as long as it rains three points outside the line, wouldn't it be possible to take the lead?
When the players of both sides entered the field, the cheers received were almost the same, and when Xu Hao appeared, the cheers of the fans on the scene were obviously much higher than before, which made the opponents and teammates a little envious.But they have nothing to do, who made them not reach Xu Hao's height?The Timberwolves had a lot of fans in the season that just ended.

However, Xu Hao didn't have any special feelings about the cheers of the fans at the scene. He is now thinking about beating Spain on the field.In his opinion, even if all the fans on the scene are criticizing him, he will admit it if he can win.And Xu Hao also knows that he is not the protagonist in this game, or at least not in the first quarter. According to Deng Huade's arrangement, what he has to do is to avoid the interception of the opponent's defender, send the ball into the interior, and then finish at the three-point line. Waiting outside to catch and shoot.

At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming beat Gasol in the jump ball and got the first wave of offensive ball for China.This time Xu Hao did not disrupt Spain's defense with a lightning-fast pass like in the Timberwolves. Instead, he protected the ball step by step and dribbled across the half court, using his body to block Calderon's hand that wanted to steal, and then took the opportunity. Throw the ball directly into the lane.

It is the dream of any guard to have a big man with outstanding height like Yao Ming as his teammate. Among other things, it is very easy to pass the ball inside. go in.

When Yao Ming received the ball, Gasol was on his back, preventing him from turning around easily, but how could Yao Ming be afraid of this level of defense?Although both sides are technical players, under the training of Van Gundy Jr., Yao Ming has become a veritable heavy tank. After a few singles with his back, he easily hit a hook.

Gasol’s expression is very helpless. He feels a little timid every time he faces Yao Ming. Although he can score under Yao Ming’s defense with the same flexible footwork and precise mid-range shots, he can’t hold Yao Ming on the defensive end. post-up singles.However, he quickly recovered his mood. This was only the first round of the game, and losing two points was nothing.

Looking back, Spain did the same and handed the ball to Gasol, but his position to get the ball was not as deep as that of Yao Ming. After all, there was still a clear gap in pure strength between the two sides.Gasol didn't try to hit Yao Ming with his back, but wanted to sway the opponent away with his footsteps under the basket to gain shooting space for himself. However, Yao Ming didn't fall for the trick at all. He just stretched out his hands to cover Gasol, preventing him from turning around easily. , Even if the turn is successful, don't let him see the basket.

In desperation, Gasol had no choice but to seize the opportunity to pass the ball to Ibaka near the free throw line. The latter hit a mid-range shot under the defense of Yi Jianlian, which can be regarded as helping Spain regain the field. Gasol himself also Received an assist.

It seems that the two teams are mainly inside, but the fans quickly discovered the difference.Spain's interior offense really uses Gasol as the core of the tactics. The small players' offensive methods are basically to sneak around the screen and sneak to the baseline, and they also run counterattack. In other words, they mostly choose to get closer to the basket. Try to score with maximum efficiency.

On the other hand, on the Chinese side, neither Yao Ming nor Yi Jianlian is the kind of ball tyrant who likes to take all the shots. As long as their teammates have the opportunity, they will most likely choose to pass the ball.It is no longer strange for them to pass inside and inside. Yao Ming relies on his superhuman height to distribute the ball to the outside, and finds the most suitable opportunity to take action among the constant internal and external passes.

Under such circumstances, the perimeter composed of Xu Hao, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu has a place to play. All three of them are very powerful shooters, whether they are shooting with the ball or catching the ball, they are quite hot.Although Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu, the Hongyuan shooter combination, hadn't found their touch at the beginning, they had Xu Hao. As the core of the Timberwolves' tactics, he has always been able to quickly enter the state. Shooting three-pointers and so on is trivial. He's pretty sure when there's an open spot.

Of course, Spain's strategy of scoring close to the basket cannot be miscalculated, but it can't stand China's high three-point shooting rate!As long as a relatively high shooting rate can be maintained, a three-pointer with 1 point bonus will always be a sharper weapon than a two-pointer.
