Junior Basketball says

Chapter 427
The Argentine men's basketball team has always been an important force in the world basketball world. Among other things, beating the United States to win the gold medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics is a great feat they can brag about for a lifetime.You must know that since the United States recruited NBA stars to form a dream team to participate in the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, this is the only time it has lost the gold medal, and it was lost to the Argentines in a head-to-head confrontation.At that time, the main lineup of the Argentine men's basketball team was basically composed of the golden generation.

As time goes by, Argentina's golden generation of players has gradually aged, but their strength still cannot be underestimated.Xu Hao is full of confidence in winning this game, but it does not mean that China will win smoothly.

The Argentine men's basketball team attaches great importance to China's opponent, and their head coach Lamas has put out the strongest lineup he can come up with.Backcourt is Prigioni partner Ginobili, small forward position is Nocioni, power forward Gutierrez, center Luis Scola.Delfino, who played for the Bucks, was used by him as the team's best sixth man.

In fact, Lamas is also a little helpless. The reason why he put Gutierrez in the starting four is mainly to increase the average height of the starting lineup.You must know that Prigioni is only 1.86 meters, Nocioni is 2.01 meters, and Scola, who is the center forward, is only 2.07 meters. The height of this set of starters cannot be seen, and Gutierrez plays for Flamingo in the Brazilian League, and his strength is also good.

Deng Huade still used the starting lineup of the previous few games. In his opinion, the configuration of two insiders and three shooters is really easy to use. Coupled with the lack of height of Argentina's insiders, the Yao Yi combination can continue to wreak havoc at the basket.

However, Deng Huade did not expect that after the game started, Argentina took the lead in gaining the advantage, and it happened to be the inside line that he was completely assured of.Scola and Yi Jianlian are almost the same height, but his accomplishments around the basket are not comparable to Yi Jianlian's. After several consecutive turns, he got rid of Yi Jianlian's defense, and then easily scored a layup.

The other Argentine players on the field quickly began to play tactics around Scola, which is also the rhythm of the game they are used to.With the support of his teammates, Scola played against Yi Jianlian with ease. He hit one goal and scored at the basket for three consecutive rounds, helping Argentina to a 6-0 start. The fans on the sidelines also cheered .

Logically speaking, the relationship between Britain and Argentina should not be very good. The famous Falklands War took place between these two countries.But I have to admit that Scola's performance was so outstanding that British fans put aside their prejudices and cheered for him.Yi Jianlian's face was full of shame. He didn't expect that he was being tricked by Scola and couldn't even cover him.

Seeing this, Yao Ming patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry about defense these times. Scola's footwork under the basket is already very good. He can also beat me during training in our team." It goes back and forth, no wonder you.”

That's what he said, but Yi Jianlian gritted his teeth secretly, determined to give Scola some color.Now that Ginobili has not played yet, Argentina has taken the lead, which is not in China's plan at all.However, there are many unplanned things on the basketball court. As long as we deal with it in time, there will be no problem.

The main reason why Huaxia has not scored since the start is that they did not shoot close to the basket. Even Yao Ming tried his hand near the free throw line.It is normal for everyone to be a little tight at the beginning of the game, but Scola seems to have quickly entered the state. Compared with others, it is naturally like a god descending from heaven.

Soon Huaxia regained their familiar rhythm of the game. Yao Ming continued to rely on his height to play singles with the ball in the low position. Neither Scola nor Gutierrez could interfere with him, and Huaxia quickly evened the score. Difference.

However, just when everyone thought they could take the lead in one go, Ginobili, who had been invisible before, suddenly became active.Prigioni, who was supposed to be Argentina's starting point guard, simply handed over the ball to Ginobili. He summoned Gutierrez to come up for a pick-and-roll, and quickly got rid of Xu Hao's defense. The European step scored the ball in the gap between the two big men Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. If Yao Ming didn't close his hand quickly, he would have to pay a foul.

Xu Hao's face turned dark, and he finally remembered that Ginobili really didn't like to play cards according to the rules, but he was indeed a player with a very strong team spirit.No wonder, after all, I have been nurtured in San Antonio for so long, and I will only use it when the team is in trouble and can't even play tactics. Now it is natural to cooperate with teammates.

The pick-and-roll is a very simple tactic, but it is also difficult to defend because it is difficult for the small man responsible for defending the ball holder to squeeze through the screen and chase him in the first place. The best defensive method is to switch defenses.However, Ginobili was too flexible. Both Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were helpless when facing him. In desperation, Xu Hao could only speed up his pace to catch up.

I have to say that Xu Hao's speed is still very fast, and his physical confrontation is also good, which really allowed him to prevent several breakthroughs by Ginobili.However, most of the time, Ginobili and his teammates' pick-and-roll cooperation has achieved very good results, helping Argentina maintain a weak lead. It can be said that all of this is caused by Ginobili alone.

Xu Hao knows very well that with Ginobili's state tonight, it is impossible to completely prevent him from dying. The only thing he can do now is to do his best on the defensive end, and then use more points to match him. .Ginobili's offense is very good, but his defense basically depends on anticipation. The increase of age makes it easy for him to lose his position on the defensive end.And Xu Hao happens to be a player with weird moves and good at adapting to changes, so it is not that difficult to single out Ginobili.

Based on Xu Hao's understanding of Deng Huade, he will definitely agree with this idea. This coach is an out-and-out victorian. As long as he wins within the scope allowed by the rules, he will be praised.Besides, he has always admired Xu Hao's ability to understand tactics and adaptability on the field. If Xu Hao formally proposes to him, he will not refuse.

However, there is no time to communicate with Deng Huade now. Xu Hao must help the team regain the initiative as much as possible before Argentina starts. If the opponent is allowed to go on like this, the morale of the team will not be much left...
