I’m Really Playing Basketball

Latest website: After the first game between China and the United States, coach K, as the head coach of the dream team, stepped up and took responsibility for the first time, and believed that the biggest problem for the team now is the problem of team running-in. Players are not there. responsible.

But it is clear that this is certainly not the only way for the American media.

Although they never thought that the US team would definitely win the Chinese team in this game, it was quite surprising that the game was played so badly.

Although the final score difference in this game was only 13 points, let's put it this way, the US team had no chance at all. From the beginning, the US team was behind, and then fell behind until the end, even the chance to fight for it. not a lot.

It's too ugly to lose!

I thought it was difficult to see that the Magic City was almost overthrown by Australia. In this game, the American team was even more embarrassed under the pressure of the Chinese team on both ends of the offense and defense.

Under this circumstance, even if Coach K is willing, it is impossible to keep these American players.

Especially some key players.

For example, Howard was killed by Yao Ming in this game.

"I am not afraid of Yao Ming! This is not the first time I have said that, I am not afraid of Yao Ming!

I will not say that the loss of this game has nothing to do with me, but a normal basketball game is not a duel between me and him, but a team-to-team contest, and I will not say it. I didn’t get too many offensive opportunities in the game, but in fact, in this game, Yao Ming took 20 shots (actually 18), and I only took 6 shots, three of which were offensive rebounds I grabbed myself. .

I am not a grudge, but I have not received enough respect! "

"Dwight, are you in the Spurs or the U.S. team when you said that you didn't get enough respect?"

Facing a question from an American journalist, Howard stopped answering the question of humiliation after venting it. He is indeed very angry now, but he is not really that idiot.

I have to say that whether it is this year's finals or this Olympic game with the Chinese team, Howard is indeed full of grievances.

After all, he thinks he should be the best center in the league now, at least one of them, but whether in the Spurs or the US team, he is not the core of the offense.

This is very uncomfortable. Anyone who knows Howard knows that he has always wanted to compare with O'Neal, and what he does is in accordance with O'Neal's standards, but for Howard, especially for his offense, he It is true that there is no life for O'Neal, and O'Neal's disease.

Can Howard be the core of the offense?

Of course it is okay. Historically, the one-star four-shot with Howard as the core has reached the finals. Therefore, whether you like Howard or not, his core strength is not a problem.

And this is why he is very dissatisfied with his treatment in the first game between the Spurs and the US team. He feels that he is really strong now, and in fact he is indeed very strong.

But on the other side, he turned strong, but there was indeed a fatal flaw.

And this is his current dilemma.

Therefore, whether in the Spurs or the US team, Howard always feels that everyone is targeting him, full of negative energy reasons.

"Chen and I are good friends and Zhu is a teammate. I am also very grateful to the Chinese fans for their cheers and applause. I like China and I also like the Chinese people. However, this does not mean that I am afraid of Yao Ming."

At the end of the interview, Howard once again emphasized that he is not afraid of Dayao.

It can be seen how much pressure Howard has been after being done by Yao in the two finals in these years.

In history, most Chinese fans say that Yao Ming eats and sleeps and plays Warcraft. Now, regardless of whether Chinese or American fans, they know Yao Ming's stalk of ‘eat, sleep and play Warcraft’.

Howard is not now being bullied by thick eyebrows in the future and he takes the initiative to show a good character to thick eyebrows. Now Howard has a positive personality.

How could he stand this with his current character.

It's just obvious that the more Howard doesn't want others to think of him, for reporters, the more he must tear his scars. How can there be traffic if he doesn't tear them frequently?

Of course, for Howard, this post-match press conference is regarded as semi-public dissatisfaction, and it is not regarded as his lack of cleverness.

Tell Coach K and the U.S. team, don’t always treat me as a blue-collar, and a blue-collar in front of Yao Ming. He can only be beaten by Yao Ming. Only if he also has the opportunity to attack Yao Ming on the offensive end, can he suppress Yao Ming. It's good for him, and it's good for the US team.

When the US team is now defeated by the Chinese team and Coach K has just fallen into a dilemma of not knowing how to use people, Howard's remarks are actually very clever.

From another aspect, this also gives Coach K an idea and a solution. Shouldn’t it be true that Howard should be bolder and give Howard a more important role on the offensive end?

Seriously, suppressing Yao Ming is really important!

If Howard can really suppress Yao Ming, James, and Wade, they can suddenly relax, and Kobe, Mai, Anthony, Arenas and their shooting can not consider so many help defenses.

Although both Chen Xiao and Yao Ming are the best defensive players in the NBA, it is difficult to distinguish between their defensive abilities, but it is clear that Yao Ming is the defensive core of the Chinese team.

But the question is, can Howard really suppress Yao Ming on the offensive end?

Not to mention the suppression of Yao Ming, but also the opening of fifty-five, which can well release the offensive power of the outside superstars of the US team.

In short, in the face of Howard's "compelling ideas", Coach K suffered from insomnia at night and kept tossing and turning in bed.

I have to say that Howard's IQ is not high or not, his cleverness is really good, and this trick is very good.

Look at coach K to fix it.

Originally, coach K's first thought after this loss was to change the team's outside team composition.

Now that Howard has made such a move, he has directly changed from changing the outside line to changing the inside line.

In this game between China and the United States, Howard's performance was the focus of the audience. In this game, the Chinese team's inside players performed well. Of course, Howard, who is the backbone of the American inside defense, will be under scrutiny.

The US team lost so badly in this game, Howard was under scrutiny, so are there any players who performed well?

Of course there is. In this game, Wade's performance was very good, 7 of 7 and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 19 points with 100% shooting.

Interestingly, this data is exactly the same as the data of Wade playing the Chinese team in history.

Although the data is the same, the difficulty is completely different. In history, Wade took this data and it was really easy.

But now, Wade has won this data, it really seems to be desperate.

Yao Ming sat at the basket, Yi Jianlian protected Yao Ming from sweeping, and Chen Xiao assisted in sweeping from the periphery. It can be said that the current defense of the Chinese team is indeed at an airtight level, and the FIBA ​​field has a smaller and narrower offensive width. The space for offensive players is small, and the defensive area of ​​defensive players is also small, which is very conducive to defense.

So, if you don't have a stable three-pointer and can't open up the space, the offense is really hard to play.

In this game, the US team's three-pointer was 7 of 27, and the space was definitely not open. Therefore, Wade's scoring and efficiency were all hard hits.

That is, Wade, that is, this uninjured Wade can be so strong. This kind of defensive intensity can also be strong and strong. If you replace the historical Wade to play the current Chinese team, it must be impossible to achieve such data. of.

So, don't look at the strength of the boss of the United States is the strongest, but in fact, Wade is the most threatening player in the United States offensive.

Not only in this game, in the previous warm-up game, Wade was the scoring leader of the United States team.

On the other hand, the Chinese team really can't find a player who can defend Wade.

The Chinese team also knows this, so the defensive focus of this game against the US team is on Wade. If he is not allowed to take more shots, even the shots are extremely difficult.

The Chinese team's defense against the US team, other players are single defense, most assisted defense, but for Wade, if possible, can be flanked.

On August 11, the second day of the Sino-US war, although audiences from all over the country came to immerse themselves in the joy of the Chinese men’s basketball team beating the US men’s basketball team, Chen Xiao and the Chinese men’s basketball team were still dealing with this easily and normally. All the praise and praise.

The Chinese team’s players have not changed, everyone is still so relaxed, which is completely different from the US team.

On the American team, Coach K got up to work early in the morning, and he needed to decompress the team. .

"I know we lost, but I think we played well."

"I know exactly where our problem lies. The Olympics have just begun and we still can't let go. We are playing a little tight.

And last night's game against the Chinese team, we all know that this is a game of great significance to both sides, especially for the American team who wants to get everything back.

In addition to fighting in front of their home audience, we are under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, although we lost the game, we withstood the storm, and now we have calmed down. I think that in the future we can reach a higher level and we can realize our wishes. "

In addition, Coach K also returned to the question about Howard. Howard was the main reason for the news conference when he got up so early today.

Howard's imperial speech after the game last night did have a great impact on him and the US team, as evidenced by the dark circles in his eyes.

"Dwight is a dominant player in the interior, whether defensively or offensively. He has always been one of the most important players in our team. I know his thoughts. Everything before us is in the beginning. Our previous focus was also trying to find a suitable way to play. Not long ago, I found Dwight and told him that we found some ways and plans, and in our future matches and plans, his position is very good. Crucially, he will definitely get more opportunities."

Coach K’s answer made many American reporters on the scene a hustle and bustle.

It has to be said that whether Howard is reused or limited (only his defense) is a highly controversial topic in the Spurs.

After losing the finals twice, Popovich was overwhelmed by this problem. Many Spurs reporters and media experts aimed at Popovich to Yao Ming when reviewing the Spurs' failure again in the finals this year. The pressure created during the game is too small.

Magic knows that to fight the Heat, it is to consume Yao Ming. If Yao Ming is consumed, the Heat's offensive and defensive system will be blown up.

But Popovich just doesn't do that.

You can worry that Howard can't do it, but if you don't do it, how do you know you can't do it?

What if?

After answering Howard’s matter, Coach K supported Anthony again. Xiao Tiantian played for 14 minutes, 0 of 3, and only cheated 3 points by free throws. Although Xiao Tiantian is a supporting role, it is not suitable to bear. Responsibility, but this performance is still quite eye-catching.

After all, although Xiao Tiantian is a role player, he is not an ordinary role player. As the most stable player of the US team, his three-pointers are high expectations from the US team.

But the 0-of-3 three-pointers really made the US team's limited space even smaller.

Therefore, Anthony did not complete the US team's strategic plan in the last game.

After the Sino-U.S. war, coach K, the head coach of the U.S. team, kept putting out the fire.

The Chinese team, under the leadership of Chen Xiao, ran to watch the shooting competition in the morning.

I watched Du Li's match before, but this time I went to see Zhu Qinan's match. He is the champion of the Athens men's 10m air rifle. This local battle is favored by many people. Chen Xiao and the others also came here to witness his defending. .

It's just a pity that this time, Zhu Qinan also regretted not being able to win the championship and finally won the runner-up.

This result made Chen Xiao and Dayao both laugh bitterly.

Even after Chen Xiao and the others comforted Zhu Qinan when they came out, some Chinese reporters joked whether they had sucked away the luck of other Chinese athletes this year.

Of course, this is a joke, mainly because of the Sino-US war, the Chinese team's players are too accurate in three-pointers.

Although it was a joke, the cheer of the Chinese men's basketball team became the "curse" of the Olympic Village for a time. Many delegations jokingly expressed that they did not welcome the "room rounds" of the Chinese men's basketball team.

This has also become a highlight of the Olympic Village.

After a day's rest on August 11, the Chinese team continued to play on August 12. At 4:30 in the afternoon, the Chinese team easily defeated Angola 118-68.

In this game, Yao Ming once again scored the highest points of the team and the audience, 30 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 assists.

In addition, the Chinese team has five other players in double figures.

Chen Xiao made 11 of 15 in the game and 7 of 10 on three-pointers. He scored 29 points and 14 assists in the game. Chen Xiao played very easily throughout the game. Chen Xiao didn't even make a sudden jump. Fighting abnormal health.

The UAE also scored 11 points and 10 rebounds in this game, Xiaozhu and Huazi also scored 10 points, and Wei Ge, who came on the bench, also scored 11 points.

The game was too easy to play.

So much so that NBC's guest commentary Barkley exclaimed: "The Chinese team is unbeatable!"

Regardless of whether Barkley is blowing or purely hilarious, the fact is that after the group stage, after easily defeating the last opponent Spain, the Chinese team won all five games in this group of death.

unstoppable!
