I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the third- and fourth-place finals between Spain and Russia, Spain, who was more optimistic before the game, was beaten by Russia at halftime, which made many spectators who had their own judgment on the game a little dazed.

Yesterday, when he played against the United States, he was a Spanish player who was like a goddess. Why did he suddenly become like this?

When playing in the United States yesterday, Navarro scored 14 points in a single quarter. After halftime in this game, he was only 0 for 3, and he only scored 1 point from free throws.

Yesterday's fight against the United States made the American team very embarrassed. In the end, the superstars of the American team were forced to make fouls and beat the little Gasol, the Spanish giant. This game is played here in Russia at halftime. It was only 1 out of 7.

So much so that O'Neal, who was broadcasting the game, couldn't help but squirt wildly: "In one day, Marc Gasol has become an All-Star who has passed his peak."

The poor performance of Navarro and Pau Gasol is a microcosm of Spain in this game. Throughout the first half, Spain was completely out of touch with both inside and outside. It can be said that they were pressed and played by Russia.

Regardless of the inside or outside, as long as the Spanish team players get the ball, they will immediately press close. In this high-intensity confrontation, the Spanish team's technical advantages cannot be exerted.

To put it simply, Spain's defensive system, you can't break through, and Pau Gasol can't play Sasha Cowen under the basket. In the end, Spain can only be forced to shoot outside, but the opponent you shoot is facing. Kirilenko and the others are more than two meters tall.

In the end, in the first half, Spain gave the impression that Navarro couldn’t break through, Pau Gasol couldn’t hit the inside line, Rubio couldn’t make a shot from the outside, and the trapeze Ibaka had no space to fly.

By the way, Ibaka, who scored 12 points and 9 rebounds against the US team, also performed very badly in this game.

He can't get in either, and shoots outside, Russia's defense is too fast, one big and four small, one big center, three Kirilenko-style fast forwards, Ibaka's shooting rate is too slow, speed up the shot The rate can only reduce the shooting rate. In fact, most of the time, Ibaka doesn't even have a chance to shoot.

Even Spain's stable leader, Gasol, was exhausted by Russia's crazy defensive system in the first half.

Facing Russia's defensive system of one big and four small and four long-armed players, Pau Gasol is also very uncomfortable. Every time Pau Gasol asks for the ball in the low post, Russia will use their long arms. The players used defensive tactics to try to prevent Gasol from catching the ball. Once Gasol got the ball inside, Russia would immediately use a ferocious pincer attack, almost not giving Gasol a chance to breathe.

For Big Gasol, the most classic picture in the half is that when there was 1 minute left in the second quarter, Gasol finally got the ball under the basket. At this time, 4 people in Russia rushed over. , Surrounding Gasol, it's really too fast!

And it's not just fast, this is Gasol, his co-op is quite invincible. In the face of such a pinch, he can pass the ball, but Gasol is struggling, because Russia is such a pinch , there is no space for him to play the ball at all. Even a player with the ability to play the ball like Gasol can't play the ball. It is conceivable how tacit understanding and terror of Russia's defensive system.

Of course, this attack Gasol relied on his super personal ability to quickly, after struggling, caused the opponent to foul.

However, after playing so tired, Gasol was sweating all over after walking to the free throw line, his waist was bent, and his hands were on his knees, he looked very tired, so in the end, this free throw, He hit one of two free throws.

In the face of a three-dimensional defensive system like Russia, Big Gasol's half-court data is also extremely bad 4-for-1.

It can be said that a strong Spain, in the first half, if there is a player who performed well, he will not only score 20 points in a half.

As long as Spain's performance is a little better, it won't scare the US team into that.

You know, after the semifinal between the US team and Spain, Barkley, O'Neal and many American media boasted that this game was the greatest semifinal game in the history of the Olympic Games.

Good guy, the greatest semi-final opponent of the greatest semi-final game, met Russia, which was madly beaten by the Chinese team, and barely managed to score 20 points in the last half.

For a time, the social media on the Internet in the United States was full of 'How did China destroy Russia in one episode? ! 'question.

To be honest, if it wasn't for a player like Yao Ming who could defeat Russia's defensive system, the Chinese team would also be in a state of anxiety when playing against Russia.

Russia's defense system, even in the history of FIBA ​​and the Olympics, is extremely powerful.

Historically, in this year's Olympic Games, Spain, Lithuania and Argentina have all lost to Russia.

In this session of the Olympic Games, the United States has also achieved this.

In history, Russia played Spain's semi-finals and finally collapsed in the second half because of lack of physical strength and unable to maintain this high-cost defensive system, and was finally shot through by Spain's three-pointer led by Calderon, and then The defensive system collapsed, both inside and outside were lost and losses were reversed.

But it is clear that the situation in this game between Russia and Spain is very different.

First of all, Spain has a bigger physical problem now. They just fought against the United States for a whole game yesterday, and the game between Russia and China collapsed in the first quarter. Russia can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

And not just physically, but also mentally.

In history, Spain can go to the finals and compete for the championship by reversing Russia.

But now, this is only a third- or fourth-place final. Even if Russia is reversed, it is only a third place. There are medals, but only a bronze medal, and the psychological motivation is not enough.

Physically exhausted, psychologically lacking in motivation, and being beaten so badly at halftime.

It is almost impossible for Spain to come out like history.

Therefore, after the start of the second half of the game, Spain did not see much improvement, and Russia was still in control.

Of course, it is also difficult for Russia to push Spain as hard as they did in the first half.

In the end, Russia defeated Spain 59 to 47 and won the third place in the Olympic men's basketball competition.

It can also be seen from the score of Russia in this game that the offensive ability of this team is actually very limited.

Especially when Kirilenko was only 2 of 12 in this game, Russia's offense is also difficult.

But this team's defense is really good. It forced Spain, which can score 100 points against the US team, to score 47 points in the whole game, which is more than half.

So the question is, in the face of such a strong defense of Russia, the Chinese team that has cut 100+, how strong should their offense be?

Everyone who watched this game, including the players of the US team, did not dare to say with confidence that they could score more than 100 points in Russia, or even more than 90 points.

For Spain, an Olympic bronze medal is not so precious, but for Russia, this bronze medal is very precious.

After all, in this Olympics, they did not qualify directly, but climbed up by qualifying. Many people were not optimistic about them, but in the end, they created the best results in team history.

So, when the final whistle blew, Kirilenko rushed to the center of the court with the basketball in his arms, and his teammates rushed up and pressed it to the floor to celebrate.

Quite a wild way to celebrate, very hairy style.

In a later interview, Kirilenko couldn't hide his excitement and said: "I am so happy, we have defeated a strong and experienced team, Spain is very good, but our defense, our Mindset, helped us get this medal!"

"I know that after we lost to the Chinese team in the semifinals, many people looked down on us, but we did not lose our confidence. After that defeat, we encouraged ourselves to say that our opponent was the Chinese team, the strongest in FIBA ​​history. Only the Chinese team, and there is only one such team in the world, we told ourselves that we can beat any opponent except the Chinese team!"

"Yes, after the semi-final, Chen encouraged us. Chen told us that we are very strong. Now, I can tell the world that what Chen said is not wrong. We are really strong!"

This Olympics is very important to Kirilenko. His contract has expired, and no NBA team has offered him a contract yet. Many people say that his style and strength may not mix in the NBA. For a few years, I didn't dare to open a big contract to him.

It can be said that this trip to the Olympic Games, he moved forward with countless doubts.

As an opponent, Chen Xiao gave him a lot of praise in this Olympics.

Whether it was before or after the game, Chen Xiao was full of praise for him and his Russia.

To be fair, Chen Xiao could pretend that Russia lost to the Chinese team in the semi-finals by saying that he and his Russia are a rookie.

This is no problem at all.

If it is a player of the US team or a player of other countries, I am afraid that it is really said in secret.

But Chen Xiao has always supported him and his team.

In the end, in order to support them, they were actually laughed at.

This makes AK feel that Chen Xiao is really capable.

When Chen Xiao became famous in the NBA, he was credited with hitting a lore on his head in his rookie season.

To be honest, if the Warriors are short of people and there is salary space, he would not mind going to the Warriors to work hard for Chen Xiao.

It's just that the Warriors have no room to sign him right now.

But even so, when AK was interviewed after the game, he was full of praise for Chen Xiao and the Chinese team. All kinds of best players in history, the best team in history, throw them on the Chinese team without money.

As for the US team?

who cares?

Kirilenko is undoubtedly the team of Chen Xiao and the Chinese team.

By the way, why did AK say in the post-match press conference that these things don't need to be said, or are unnecessary to say.

Of course, it was because after the semi-finals, the matchup between the Chinese team and the US team was too popular.

The U.S. media, which has the upper hand in public opinion, frantically boasted about the American team. With Chen Xiao’s words in defense of Russia, they mocked Chen Xiao and the Chinese team crazily for not meeting a strong enemy in this Olympics.

Under the hype of the American media, 24 hours have passed. Before the match between Russia and Spain, the odds of the US team winning the championship were actually ahead of the Chinese team in the final handicap.

We all know that in this one-to-one game, the more people who buy, the lower the odds, and the fewer people who buy, the higher the odds and the more money you make.

Therefore, after such a one-off operation by the American media, a large number of Americans or Europeans, or people from other countries, actually feel that the American team can beat the Chinese team.

After the game between Russia and Spain, before the game between China and the United States began, in just a few hours, the US team's handicap collapsed.

Yes, it broke.

You can imagine that because of the hype, in the 2021-2022 season, the odds of buying Liverpool to win the Premier League are lower than Manchester City, and much lower, buying Manchester City is 3 to 1, and buying Liverpool is 1.5 to 1.

You said, if you were rich now, who would you buy?

Of course, buying Manchester City has a better chance of winning the championship, and the odds are even higher. If you don’t buy it at this time, when will you buy it?

Such a good opportunity to cut leeks, if you don't cut them, you will be really sorry for yourself and the American gambling dogs.

In fact, such a change in the situation on the handicap is also a microcosm of the change in the situation before the game between the Chinese team and the US team.

Before the start of the game, everyone thought that the strength of the Chinese team and the US team was similar, and the difference was not big. However, after Spain and Russia played, they realized that the Chinese team was strong, and it was so much stronger.

So much so that even ESPN worked overtime to overturn all of its previous analysis of the finals, and then convened experts to write a new analysis.

In this new analysis, ESPN still believes that the two teams are currently the most powerful teams in the world of basketball, and even the two most powerful teams in FIBA ​​history, and their rivalry is naturally the highest level in the world of basketball. The confrontation, but in terms of strength, ESPN no longer believes that the US team is slightly stronger and the Chinese team is slightly weaker. Of course, it does not think that the Chinese team is strong and the US team is weak. The Americans are hard-mouthed, and we can still look forward to it. of.

Therefore, in this new analysis, ESPN analyzed the lineup structure of the two teams, saying that the Chinese team is as strong as the US team, the two teams are two completely different teams, and the Chinese team owns the Olympic Games. The most luxurious interior configuration in the past, but the strongest point of the US team is on the outside. This is actually the same as the previous analysis, but there is a difference, that is, the ESPN expert team believes that in the previous analysis, ESPN's expert team believes that, The inside advantage of the Chinese team is not enough to be ineffective for the outside advantage and lineup advantage of the American team.

But now, it's a little different. I think that the Chinese team's inside advantage can offset the American team's outside advantage and lineup advantage.

In other words, the match between Russia and Spain finally allowed the US team to admit the strength of the combination of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian who broke the Russian interior.

Big Gasol The combination of small Gasol and Ibaka hit the American insider.

Russia's Sasha Cowen played the big and small Gasol and Ibaka yowling.

And Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were playing Cowen and screaming.

In this new ESPN analysis, Oden and Chris Bosh's interior team has collapsed.

Well, ESPN is quite pessimistic before the game starts.

Previously, they were quite optimistic.

I feel that Oden has grown up now, and maybe there is a certain opportunity to create difficulties for the combination of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

Now re-watching the game between China and Russia, they have completely extinguished this little bit of hope.

Even if you don't want to admit it, the facts are there. Although Oden is strong, he is really not as useful as Sasha Cowan under FIBA's game rules.

Just look at Gasol's embarrassed appearance in front of Cowen when he beat Oden, and you can see that under the rules of FIBA, Oden and Yao Ming's levels are not one level or two. The level, maybe, is three, or even four, five levels away!

As for whether it is three levels, four levels or five levels, it depends on how much strength Yao Ming has hidden.

Of course, ESPN's analysis mainly changes the comparison of the two teams' insiders. I used to think that if the Chinese team's insiders were 10, the US team would have 8.

But now I found out that if the Chinese team's inside line is 10, the Russian inside line that was blown up by Yao Ming in the first quarter is at best 6, which is only pass, while the strength of the Spanish inside line that was blown up by the Russian inside line in halftime is at most 5 points at most. It looks like, and the inside line of the American team, which was suppressed by the Spanish inside line for a whole game, of course, the strength is only 4 points at most.

So, don't make empty comparisons, what about the US team's 8, Spain's 9, and the Chinese team's 10, this is YY.

When there is a middle volume like Russia in the middle, the US team's internal strength and Spain's internal strength assessment really fell off a cliff.

That's what's changed in this new match analysis, and most of the other comparisons are unchanged.

ESPN now believes that there are two variables in the game between the Chinese team and the US team. The biggest variable is whether the US team's inside line can hold up under the suppression of China's inside line. If it can't hold up, it will collapse directly. The game is over.

If they hold on, even if they are beaten badly and do not collapse, just like they did against Spain, then the U.S. team still has a chance.

And the U.S. team, who has a chance, needs to see the outcome of the matchup between Chen Xiao and Durant.

In terms of dominance, in FIBA, the dominance of insiders is indeed more important. The insider combination of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian is the cornerstone of this Chinese team.

But when it comes to scoring, there is no doubt that Chen Xiao and Durant are the two strongest in this Olympics.

Not to mention Chen Xiao, even though Chen Xiao didn't make as many shots in this Olympics, and in line with the team's strategy, he would hit the inside line and his teammates with opportunities, but Chen Xiao's scoring ability has not been questioned by anyone.

The person who needs to talk now is Durant.

In the 2010 World Championships, Durant was a blockbuster, letting everyone see that the US team also had a bug outside the FIBA ​​game like Chen Xiao.

In this Olympics, Durant, who played in the Olympics for the first time, once again proved that his 2010 World Championship was not a fluke.

He is really strong in FIBA.

In this Olympics so far, Durant has played 25 minutes per game and averaged 20.5 points per game. The horror is that his three-point shooting rate is as high as 58% per game. In all the past games, he has the least per game. Made 4 3-pointers.

As long as the US team's game comes to a critical moment or a moment of anxiety, Durant's three-pointers are smashing, 17 points in a single quarter against Argentina, and 30 points in a game against Spain.

In this Olympics, only Durant and Chen Xiao were the only players who averaged more than 4 three-pointers per game. Chen Xiao averaged 5.5 three-pointers per game.

As for players who make 2 or more three-pointers per game, only Chen Xiao has a higher shooting percentage than Durant. Chen Xiao's three-point shooting percentage is 58.5%. In fact, the difference is not much.

However, from the scoring data of the two, the blind can see that the scoring ability of the two is the only one among the perimeter players in the entire Olympic Games.

This also shows from the side that the soaring points of the two in the 2010 World Championships are very content.

The scoring strength of the two is so strong.

According to ESPN, Jordan came to FIBA ​​and was inferior to the two.

Of course, although the two are on the same level, Chen Xiao is still a little bit better than Durant. Now let's see if other outside superstars in the US team, such as James, Kobe and Wade or Ron Howard, can help Durant, put more pressure and consumption on Chen Xiao, especially James.

The whole NBA knows that James is Chen Xiao's best defender.

On the Chinese team's side, no one can defend Durant except Chen Xiao.

Therefore, Chen Xiao must go all out on offense and defense in this game, defending Durant on defense, and attacking James, the strongest "Chen Xiao Terminator" of the US team.

Therefore, ESPN felt that in the last World Championships, Chen Xiao and Durant played 55 to 50, and Chen Xiao won, and that time, Durant was without James' help.

And this time, Durant was with James to help.

So, in the final matchup, maybe Durant can beat Chen Xiao slightly.

In fact, it's not just ESPN experts who think so.

Inside the Chinese team, Chen Xiao said the same to his teammates.

As the guy with the system, he knows best how strong Durant and James are.

Historically, the combination of Durant and James All-Star was so powerful that even in one round, the entire NBA was stunned.

Of course, Chen Xiao is not Curry, and the NBA is not FIBA.

But Chen Xiao still planned for the worst.

And this is also the reason why Chen Xiao asked the Chinese team to shift the style of play from him to Yao Ming and the UAE in this Olympics.

"I can't guarantee that I can take on the offense to beat this American team when I face this American team. I need your help."

This is the first time Chen Xiao has said in the national team that he can't handle the game alone.

It stands to reason that in this case, it should have an impact on the morale of the team, but the final result...

Faye Wong, the head coach of the Chinese team, was very surprised when he saw the excitement and excitement in the eyes of Dayao, UAE, and other Chinese team players at this time.

Chen Xiao said this, not only did it not damage the morale of the Chinese team, but even made the morale of the Chinese team even more explosive!

"Xiao Chen, it's the first time you said you need us!"

"Yeah, Brother Chen, we used to rely on you. We used to be carried by you and carried forward. Now, we can finally move forward together!"

"Brother Chen, now, we can finally proudly say that we are your teammates, not your burden!"

Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of the Chinese team players at this time, it is difficult for Faye Wong to describe how he feels at this time.

Moved, pleased, or regretted?

It is very understandable to be moved and gratified, but what are you regretting?

Of course, it's a pity that as the head coach of the Chinese team, he can't make himself needed by Chen Xiao like these players in the Chinese team.

No matter how much he has achieved in the Chinese team, in the eyes of everyone, he is still the blood-sucking worm lying on Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

To be honest, this is quite a pity for a head coach.

He also wants to prove himself.

Of course, soon, Faye Wong adjusted his mentality.

"Even if I can't be needed by Xiao Chen, I can't mess around and screw up the team!"

Faye Wong once again warned herself in her heart not to make trouble.

In fact, many times, for a team with a very strong team, a head coach who does not make trouble is already rare.

Faye Wong's coaching in the Chinese team in these years, although there is no dazzling performance, but as a six-time champion coach, he has never swelled, but still takes Chen Xiao as the core, and does everything according to Chen Xiao's requirements. , which is very rare in itself.

It should be said that UU reading www.uukanshu.com understands China's human society and the ethos of seniority, and watching Faye Wong's conscientious work in the Chinese team over the years will even feel like a miracle.

Most of the people, I am afraid that when the Chinese team won the 2008 Olympic Games and completed the five crowns, they will already swell and feel that they are invincible.

Faye Wong, who had adjusted her mentality, threw out the strong regret in her mind, but looked at the enthusiastic and high-spirited Chinese team players at this time and said seriously: "I only have one word, don't let our No regrets in the national team career!"

Now is the perfect time to put pressure on them!

Therefore, after Faye Wong finished speaking, a loud roar sounded in the locker room of the Chinese team, as if it was about to break through the sky.

On the other side, the US team's locker room cannot have the fighting spirit and unity of the Chinese team's locker room.

This is not to say that the US team was intimidated.

The situation has changed suddenly, and the pressure on them now has indeed become very huge, but it is impossible to say that they are scared.

Of course, it is impossible for them to have as many feelings as Chinese players because of the American environment and the American team's environment.

At the very least, the US team, whether it's the boss, Wade or Jr. Durant, doesn't have as much influence as Chen Xiao in the Chinese team.

However, even so, the US team's players face is still very determined.

"Anyway, revenge is here!"

"We've been losing for 10 years, and now, we don't want to lose again!"
