Chapter 443 Breakthrough!
The originally extremely hot stadium suddenly fell silent, and then there was an uproar.
It's not unusual for two to pinch one, but what's strange is that the 'two' turns out to be Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony!
One was once claimed to be Michael Jordan's successor, and the other was one of the hottest rookies in the past two years. If he hadn't been firmly suppressed by Lin Dong, Anthony in the 2002 season would have had a chance to compete for the best rookie award. player, this year he ranks first in the Nuggets scoring list with an average of 30.6 points per game, and ranks fourth in the entire league in scoring!
All-Star? This is already a super giant plus a quasi-super giant, okay!
Actually choose two and one?
And this is not what surprises everyone the most.
What's even more surprising is that this double-teamer actually appeared at the beginning of the game. Not only did he not hesitate, but judging from his defensive attitude and position, he formed an angle with Kobe and instantly wrapped Lin Dong and stuck him very tightly. It was because he never considered that if Lin Dong chose to pass the ball, he would miss other Dragon Kingdom players.
He is determined to block Lin Dong from the entire audience!
2 and 1, let the remaining three super giants face the four members of the Dragon Kingdom?
Kobe and Anthony were double-teamed very tightly at this time. Although the two of them were not as good as Lin Dong in terms of reaction, awareness, and movements, they were still at the top of the world. Even if there was a slight difference, it was enough in a two-on-one situation. Smooth.
What makes Lin Dong even more uncomfortable is that Kobe's defense is of a very aggressive type, somewhat similar to Jordan's pressing defense, which is flexible and changeable and always trying to steal your ball.
Anthony's defense is very stable. This guy has gained a lot of weight in the past two years since he entered the NBA, and his perennial low-post singles also give him strong physical confrontation capabilities. In this way, one positive and one complementary complement each other, allowing this person to have two goals. His defense seemed flawless.
Lin Dong did not choose to force himself.
Firstly, the opponent's defense is indeed airtight, and secondly, he was double-teamed like this right after the game started. If he still chooses to play singles, the subsequent double-teams will be endless.
His teammates and himself complement each other, and activating the team is his top priority in the first half, and there are many ways to do so.
Scoring is one kind, and using yourself to attract the defense and create open opportunities for your teammates is also another kind!
Lin Dong turned sideways to control the ball, using his wingspan that was much larger than those of the two to firmly protect the basketball, while also observing the situation on the court.
In addition to himself, Dayao He on the inside of this Dragon Country team is the most stable scoring point, followed by Zhu Fangyu and 3-pointers on the outside. Liu Wei has a certain mid-range and attack ability, but long-range shots are difficult. A little worse.
If you want to find a breakthrough when you are double-teamed, the best way is obviously to find Dayao, followed by general, and finally Zhu Fangyu. As for Liu Wei, he is responsible for controlling the ball and releasing Lin Dong as the offensive power at the 3rd position. of.
But when I saw the situation on the field, my heart sank, and I realized the intention of the American team.
Although Zhu Fangyuhe has already entered the front three-point line and is in an open state, he has just held the ball and has not passed the half-court. Let alone the double-team blockade of Kobe and Anthony, even if he passes out, such a long distance If the long pass is really thrown out, everyone on the US team will have enough time to intercept the ball.
At the same time, Duncan in the frontcourt had rushed to the outside of the paint area in advance and firmly occupied the position under the basket. As for Yao Ming...
Yao Ming didn't even get to face Duncan first. Ben Wallace was blocking Yao Ming at the free throw line!
Compared to Sakuragi Hanamichi, Ben Wallace may be inferior in defensive predictability, defensive instincts and even some small movements, but his strength is obviously better and can reach the same level as Yao Yao who weighs 135 kg. Up, down, and even core strength is stronger!
At this time, the way of beating Yao Ming in singles was by no means a normal defensive method. Instead, he stuck directly to Yao Ming and tried his best to give Yao Ming physical confrontation.
Use all your strength to squeeze the position!
The opponent not only wanted to limit Yao Ming's firepower, but also tried to use confrontation to tire out Yao Ming within halftime!
This is entirely possible. After all, Ben Wallace is good at confrontational consumption, and what's more terrible is that Ben doesn't care about physical strength at all.
There are many players on the bench of the US team who are much more powerful offensively than him. As long as he can use his physical strength to bring down Yao Ming, it doesn't matter even if he is also tired and falls down faster than Yao Ming!
Use Kobe and Anthony to lock and consume you, use Ben Wallace to use full-court marking tactics to consume Yao Ming, and cut off all connections between these two people and the rest of the Dragon Country team...
"Old Lin!"
Just delaying this moment, it was almost 7 seconds before the violation was reached. A quick voice sounded from Lin Dong's side and he followed up in a hurry.
Liu Wei!
In fact, before he could shout, Lin Dong had already used a fake turn to attract Anthony's attention, and at the same time, he passed the ball behind his back.
The basketball passed over the crotches of Lin Dong and Anthony and reached Liu Wei's hands.
Liu Wei controlled the ball and turned around, but before he could adjust his center of gravity, a lightning-like figure rushed over from directly in front of him.
Snapped!
A big hand pressed on the basketball, driving the basketball forward without any pause, making Liu Wei feel his hands empty and his energy tense.
Iverson!
Old K was still holding his hands on the sidelines, and although there was a faint smile on his lips, the expression on his face was not yet relaxed.
Mark everyone throughout the game, use the most 120% attitude to consume Long Guo, use the depth of the bench, and play Long Guo as a stronger team than Meng Liu!
This is the main tactical framework of the US team.
Of course, there are many branches and leaves on top of this framework, and each of these branches and leaves also corresponds to the shortcomings of a dragon country and the weakness of Lin Dong.
For example, internal and external attacks against Yao Ming, double-teaming against Lin Dong, steals and full-court press against the lack of basic ball control ability of Long Guo defenders, cutting off the connection between their back line and the team, and also cutting off Lin Dong and Yao Ming. The connection with this dragon kingdom and so on.
These are the branches and leaves that enrich the framework, but these alone are not enough.
There must be soul, it is a feast specially prepared for Lin Dong.
The players on the field are just chess pieces, and you are the chess player. Use the perspective of a bystander and study of Lin Dong's psychological changes to always take a step ahead of him and crush the invincible heart he has accumulated through two consecutive championships. belief.
Only in this way can that guy no longer be magical, can his unfathomable potential no longer explode, and can he steadily defeat this team.
And now the temporary success of the tactics is just the beginning!
With lightning speed and killer eyes, Liu Wei only had time to turn his head in fear before he saw the lightning-quick figure rushing to the empty basket.
boom!
The little man of 1.83 meters jumped up high and kicked off the finals with a violent two-handed dunk, which also opened up the tactical blueprint of Old K.
2:0, the US team takes the lead.
"Anthony!" Old K shouted loudly from the sidelines, seeming to remind him of something, and also seemed to remind the whole team.
Lin Dongyou noticed that at this moment, the five American team members on the court seemed to have a subconscious response.
Perhaps it is a tactical intention. Anthony is now in the No. 3 position, so what about the No. 3 tactic? What tactic will it be?
The Dragons have the ball.
Kobe and Anthony were obviously determined to hang on Lin Dong. Even if Lin Dong was off the ball at this time, the two of them still double-teamed Lin Dong without hesitation, firmly restricting Lin Dong, just to Completely cutting him off, not even willing to let him catch the ball.
There was an uproar in the arena.
Using two super giants to double-team a super giant without the ball, how could they play like this at the beginning of the first quarter? Even Michael Jordan has never been treated like this, right?
Those who didn’t know thought it was already the last minute of the finals.
Zhu Fangyu, who ran back to the baseline to serve the ball, could only throw the ball to Liu Wei, but the next second, the lightning-like figure was in front of Liu Wei again.
At 1.83 meters, Iverson is undoubtedly a short man on the basketball court, but compared to Liu Wei, who is also less than 190 meters tall, he is not bad. The key is that his wingspan is much longer than that of Liu Wei. As soon as he put it on, his two big hands moved left and right, and there was a strong sense of oppression. In addition, the game had just begun and Liu Wei had not yet entered the state. These two feints alone almost broke the ball, forcing Liu Wei to I kept taking two steps back before I could barely stabilize myself, but I was already so shocked that I broke out in a cold sweat.
The sense of oppression is too strong, the aggression is too strong, the movements are too flexible, and the two arms are too long!
Liu Wei didn't even dare to turn sideways at this time. He could only turn his back and raise his butt, using his butt and body and his horizontal left arm to block Iverson behind him, so that he could barely control the ball.
There is no way, CBA-level players are at least two levels weaker than NBA-level players in terms of confrontation and basic skills.
In terms of basic skills and ball control, in addition to Lin Dong and Yao Ming, Sun Yue and Liu Wei are undoubtedly the strongest in today's Dragon Kingdom national team. However, Sun Yue is young after all and has an impetuous playing style. Although his upper limit is higher than Liu Wei's, his lower limit is not as good as Liu's. Wei, to put it bluntly, is unstable.
Controlling the ball for half the game without Lin Dong's help is the first big problem that Long Guo faces.
During the previous national team training, Yao Ming and Lin Dong, who are well versed in the ways of the NBA, have constantly emphasized this point. We also tried it many times during the intra-team games when Lin Dong just returned to the team.
Even if Lin Dong only uses 60 to 70% of his strength to defend, only Liu Wei in the entire national team can stably dribble the ball across the half court with his butt stuck out. Sun Yue can do it with force, but compared to Liu Wei The more gorgeous style of play also makes Sun Yue's ball control more prone to mistakes. When facing Lin Dong's defense, his stability is far less than that of Liu Wei.
At this time, Iverson gave Liu Wei Lin Dong, who had a defensive strength of 60-70%.
This guy's prediction of the steal route is too accurate, and his arms are too long. Compared with using your shoulders to clear the way when advancing normally, only by sticking your buttocks to hold up and maintaining the distance between each other can you ensure that you can keep the basketball away to the greatest extent. Opponent's tackling range.
It's just that the posture seems a bit 'indecent'...
Of course, at this time, Liu Wei obviously didn't think about any aesthetic issues. He just thought about how to get through half the game first!
If your butt is sticking out, of course you have to rely on the strength of your buttocks to squeeze your opponent. Pushing forward is the safest way.
Although Liu Wei is only 1.90 centimeters tall, his strength is actually not weak, and he can match some strikers in the CBA.
But at this time, facing Iverson, the most 'petite' type in the NBA, who was a full 6 centimeters shorter than himself, Liu Wei found that he was a little unable to hold up! Even if I push my butt out and squeeze, it's very hard.
Iverson's legs seemed to have taken root on the ground. Liu Wei felt that every time he tried to squeeze in, it was very difficult!
this……
How could a 183cm tall man have such power? Lin Dong can't catch the ball now, Zhu Fangyu has just ran back to the frontcourt, Yao Minghe and Guo are both inside the frontcourt, and he can't pass the ball...
And just when Liu Wei was pushing forward with all his strength and anxious at the same time.
--beep!
The referee's whistle has sounded.
"8-second violation! Exchange the ball!"
For a full 8 seconds, although Liu Wei kept the basketball from being intercepted, he failed to pass the midfield!
The Dragon Country fans on the field were silent for a moment, leaving the entire stadium in a buzzing murmur.
The United States team's midfielder sideline ball.
Ben Wallace is the one with the least offensive firepower in this American team. At this time, he pulled to the sideline to serve and only glanced at the Dragon Kingdom's formation.
Yao Ming sits in the middle, the other four people defend outside, and the 41 zone defense!
——They will use regional defense. Firstly, regional defense can make the most of Lin Dong’s assisting defense ability. Secondly, because except for Lin Dong and Yao Ming, they don’t have the strength to defend any of us alone. To them, man-to-man marking means giving away points!
Old K's words came to Ben Wallace's ears. Frankly speaking, although there are many guys who came out of college basketball, such as Duncan, Wade and others, they respect and admire Old K very much, but rough guys like Ben, I don't really care about this college coach.
However, Old K's opening tactical arrangement previously easily caught the shortcomings of Long Guo, and now Long Guo's defensive lineup is exactly the same as what Old K said, which still makes Ben involuntarily respect this coach a little more.
——But they only have Lin and Yao, they can't guard every part of the court, and with Duncan and Wallace under the basket, they are not afraid to compete with Yao Ming for rebounds, so on the offensive end...
——Except for the basket, everyone else moves to the outside, avoiding the defensive range of Yao Ming under the basket and Lin Dong on the outside. The defense of other Dragon Kingdom players is almost useless to you. Use 3 points to make the first time. Attack and kill them!
At this time, Lin Dong was pulled by Kobe to the left three-point line. Ben didn't hesitate to throw the ball to Anthony outside the right three-point line.
Liu Wei, who was closest to Anthony, came up to defend, but before he could give Anthony some physical confrontation, Anthony had already stood up the moment he caught the ball.
With his taller height, longer wingspan, and the determination and speed of the pull-up jump, Liu Wei didn't react at all to the ball. He opened his mouth and looked up to watch the basketball fly over his head.
Uh-huh!
The basketball scored a solid 3-pointer.
5:0!
"The start was a bit rough. Liu Wei has already conceded two goals in a row. Facing NBA-level defense, our CBA players are still a bit underwhelmed. At this time, Lin Dong needs to step up and he must first stabilize his morale. !” Director Sun of CCTV kept saying on the TV: “We also know that it is really difficult for Lin Dong to complete the task of controlling the ball when faced with two double-teams. It is bound to be a huge test and problem to fill up the physical strength of the whole audience, but no matter what, we must solve the immediate trouble first, first..."
--Forest! Forest! Forest! Forest!
It’s not just coach Sun, who has watched so many games in which the Dragon Kingdom suppressed foreign teams and suddenly saw them being suppressed by the American team, this is absolutely unbearable for any Dragon Kingdom fan.
At this time, what they long for is a hero, a hero with colorful auspicious clouds!
Fans across the country sitting in front of the TV couldn't help shouting, and in the arena, some Dragon Country fans also started shouting.
--Forest! Forest! Forest! Forest!
There was one person at the beginning, and soon there were ten, hundreds, and thousands of people, making the entire arena reverberate with the sound of "forest".
Old K on the sidelines showed a complicated expression.
With a hint of happiness and a hint of nervousness.
Iverson blocked Liu Wei and even got some lead, but after all, it was 4 on 3 on that side of the court. They would soon find a way to adapt, and they would eventually be able to get the ball past half court.
Therefore, the focus of this tactic is not to block the entire Dragon Kingdom, but to force Lin Dong!
Forcing Lin Dong to catch the ball and force Lin Dong to play one-on-one.
So, number one can greatly consume Lin Dong's physical strength. No one in this world can be under the full double-teaming of Kobe and Anthony... No, that includes Wade and LeBron on and off the court.
This is not one against two, but one against four! When Kobe and Anthony finish playing one quarter, Old K will replace Lin Dong with two guys with full health.
Under such extreme physical exertion, even the most monster Zhang Erwan could not complete the game!
Secondly, faced with the double-team of the two, Old K knew very well that even Lin Dong with 120% could not achieve 100% of his shots. His hit rate could not exceed 50%, and if he considered dribbling the ball across the court If so, he can't even exceed 40%!
And as long as Lin Dong, who is regarded as a god by everyone, starts to miss shots and gets into trouble, all the confidence and fighting spirit of this Dragon Country team will collapse in an instant, allowing the US team to win without a win. pressure!
Do you continue to believe in the team and then continue to lose points when the Dragon Country team's front and backcourt are completely separated?
Or choose to play alone?
This is the time to analyze Lin Dong’s psychology.
A smile appeared on the corner of Old K's mouth, and he shouted from the sidelines: "AI!"
A tactical code specifically for Lin Dong. Iverson is the No. 1, so that is the No. 1 tactic!
The five people on the court understood instantly, and Kobe and Anthony slightly adjusted their defensive focus on Lin Dong.
The previous pincer attack turned into blocking and squeezing.
Are you letting yourself catch the ball? Do you want to use double teams to block yourself in the frontcourt with the ball, or to consume your own energy?
Lin Dong's mind was spinning.
At this time, the simplest way to break the game is to bring General back to participate in the ball. With Kobe and Anthony flanking him, the rest of the Dragon Kingdom has a 4-on-3, and they have a numerical advantage. As for not getting past halftime.
But that means that Longguo's offensive front has been stretched too long. Not only is the overall offensive rhythm completely chaotic, but also with so many people crowded in the backcourt, as long as there is a slight mistake, it will be a 2 points to the opponent in an instant.
so……
Physical trouble? Problems with turnovers and shooting percentage when being double-teamed?
It's a fact that Liu Wei couldn't get past halftime with the ball. Even if Sun Yue was replaced, the result would be similar.
At this moment, there are not so many worries to consider. Solving the current troubles faced by the Dragon National Team is the first priority.
Snapped!
Taking advantage of the double attack between Anthony and Kobe, Lin Dong steadily caught the basketball.
But before he could turn around, the two evil-like pressures behind him had already pressed against his back, blocking him from all sides.
A flash of light flashed from Lin Dong's eyes.
We must first break through the attack between these two people.
Status 3!
