Junior Basketball says

Chapter 421
The 7-point loss to Spain made the entire Huaxia team suffocated, especially those players who were unable to appear in the second half of the fourth quarter due to lack of physical fitness, and even formulated abnormal physical training for themselves. The coaching staff stopped it.At this time, physical training will not play a big role for them, and it is correct to seize the time to recover.

The players of the Chinese team basically spent the next day in recovery training and tactical movements. Perhaps they were stimulated by the loss. Everyone's attitude was very positive. They all wanted to vent their frustrations about losing in the second game. The opponent in the field is Russia.Although Russia seems to be very difficult to mess with, the red-eyed Huaxia men's basketball team has already regarded them as dead.

In the last game, Russia defeated the host Britain with a huge advantage of 20 points. They also came with the goal of two consecutive victories.Although the inside line of the Chinese men's basketball team is very good, in the opinion of Blatter, the head coach of the Russian men's basketball team, the combination of his own Mozgov and Cohen is not bad, not to mention the current state of the team's core Kirilenko It has been adjusted very well.As for Xu Hao, Blatter decided to use Shved, a tall point guard who plays for CSKA Moscow, to deal with him.

But what Blatter didn't expect was that Xu Hao entered stealth mode at the beginning of the game, as if he wasn't the one who scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in the last game against Spain. .Deng Huade said before the game that the game still needs to be attacked from the inside. As the brain of the team, Xu Hao naturally and faithfully gave the ball to the inside.

Russia's starting insiders Mozgov and Cowen are really good, but they are at most just NBA rotation players. You must know that Spain's three insiders start in the NBA. Blatter feels too good.

After the game started, Xu Hao and Wang Shipeng kept feeding the ball inside, mainly to Yao Ming, who was in a deeper position, so that he could use his excellent footsteps to shake the opponent away and attack the basket.Yi Jianlian seemed to be frightened by his bad touch in the last game. He didn't try too many mid-range and long-range shots, but pulled to the high position many times to serve as a cover wall.

Compared with other domestic insiders, Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is quite outstanding. In terms of movement speed and jumping, he can even be said to be the strongest one. His use as a cover wall greatly reduces the pressure on Xu Haohe.He only needs to use Yi Jianlian's cover to bypass the defense, and then give the ball to any teammate at will. The job is quite easy.

Of course, Yi Jianlian, who was passed to Shunxia, ​​was the first choice to attack the basket. Xu Hao couldn't let him go to the high post to cover for nothing, and then there was nothing statistically.This is what he did when he was in the Timberwolves. Jordan is an insider with extremely poor autonomous offensive ability, but with his help, he managed to average 12.3 points per game.

Yi Jianlian also has several options for catching the ball and attacking the basket. He can choose to lay up or even dunk, pass the ball to Yao Ming who was emptied because of his down, or throw it outside the three-point line again to let Hongyuan Two of his old teammates shot three-pointers.It made him play very happily, and it also made him discover a completely different world than playing alone with the ball.

What Xu Hao did made Shved look confused. Originally, Blatter's instruction to him was to limit Xu Hao's scoring, but the opponent now stopped scoring and changed the team's offense.Shved also wanted to try to complete a steal and counterattack, but Xu Hao's passing route was very weird, and there were too many Chinese players who could catch the ball and finish the ball. Shved could not guess which direction he would pass the ball to. .Since you can't predict, you can't rush to grab it, otherwise you may lose your position.

Of course, Huaxia's main attack point is still concentrated on the inside. Mozgov and Cowen's skills are relatively rough, mainly relying on their own tenacious fighting spirit and hard bridge and hard horse style to make a living at the basket. Now they are facing higher than them. Yao Ming, who has better skills and doesn't lose weight in the slightest, has both of their faces wrinkled into bitter melons. How can they defend against this?
Yao Ming himself felt a lot more relaxed with such a defensive strength. Once the opponent wanted to cause a physical confrontation, he would pull to the free throw line to shoot. This is also his comfort zone.Yao Ming played more than 7 minutes in the entire first quarter, which was in stark contrast to the previous game against Spain. He also scored 12 points and 4 rebounds in the paint, which was a very good performance.Under Yao Ming's full play, Huaxia took the lead 28-20, which greatly boosted the team's morale.

And in the last few minutes, Deng Huade didn't make any request to Xu Hao, but let him do whatever he wanted, leading a group of substitute players to run desperately on the field, frantically attacking Russia's defense.This also allowed Huaxia to continue to maintain a 6-point lead at the end of the first quarter, instead of being instantly overtaken by the opponent like in the previous game.

In the next game, Yao Ming became the nightmare of everyone in Russia, but he was the lucky star and pillar of the Huaxia team.On the offensive end, he asks for anything under the basket, constantly punishing his opponents with inside footsteps and mid-range shots, and even caused fouls many times; Offensive Russian players will be disturbed by him, and Shevid and Kirilenko are even more hated.

Seeing Yao Ming galloping in the paint, Xu Hao finally felt relieved. It seemed that Yao Ming's personal condition had not been affected by his ankle.Of course, this is largely due to the fact that Russia's internal strength is not as good as Spain's, but other opponents in the group stage do not have a stronger internal combination. If Yao Ming can continue to perform at this level in the next games, Huaxia Qualifying from Group B is not a problem at all, and the goal of the top eight in the Olympics can even be a little higher.

As the leading star of the Russian men's basketball team, Kirilenko should have assumed the heavy responsibility of leading the team to counterattack, but this time he was defended by Zhu Fangyu, which surprised his teammates.You must know that in the last game, Ruhr Deng, the top star of the British men's basketball team, failed to block Kirilenko. A Chinese who has never played in the NBA restrained him to a certain extent. It sounds incredible. , However, this is the fact that Kirilenko has already abolished half.

In the end, the Huaxia men's basketball team won their first victory in the Olympic Games in their second group match. They defeated Russia 92 to 80, shattering the opponent's dream of two consecutive victories.Yao Ming is of course the number one contributor to the China Men's Basketball team's victory. His statistics are fixed at 28 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. This is the level that should be there.
