NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

Chapter 93 [93] 122 zone defenses restrict Iverson, and the Big Three are fully fired!

The referee immediately suspended the game, and the team doctor also quickly stopped the bleeding for Liu Wei.

Del Harris took a risk and replaced Liu Wei with a more experienced veteran Guo Shiqiang.

Judging from the opening two rounds, Liu Wei still suffered from being too nervous and inexperienced in the competition, which made the already huge gap between him and Marbury even more obvious.

In the 6 games played by the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team in this Olympic Games, Guo Shiqiang didn't play much time as a guard, ranking behind Lin Fei, Liu Wei and Hu Xuefeng, and his average output per game was only 2 points and 1.2 assists.

But Del Harris did not ignore Guo Shiqiang because of this. His rich experience and mature mentality will at least allow Guo Shiqiang to play more calmly when facing the United States.

Liu Wei was teased continuously at the beginning, and he was naturally aggrieved. After sitting back on the bench, he threw the towel handed over by Ah Lian beside him to the ground, and cursed Guo Quintessence in a low voice.

"WTF!"

The other players of the Tianchao men's basketball team were also irritated by the aggressive opening of the US team. Everyone cheered up and clenched their fists.

If the strength is not enough, and if you can't show enough blood and hard work on the field, then you really deserve to be stepped on.

Del Harris quickly emphasized the pre-match defensive strategy to the main players on the field, encouraging everyone to unite and cheer up.

The outside single defense in the first two rounds is just a test, and the defense of the Tianchao men's basketball team is the most comprehensive.

Pause back, and the game continues.

For the Tianchao team's offense, Guo Shiqiang dribbled the ball forward, and center Dayao continued to cover from his side to delay Marbury's press.

Facing the pressure of the first-class guards of the US team, it is necessary to use the cover of the center to bring the ball to the frontcourt smoothly. This also fully reflects the weakness of the overall strength of the Chinese guards.

Another point is that Lin Fei, as a shooting guard, does not have enough dribbling ability, and cannot cooperate well with the point guard in the process of advancing. This is also a problem.

Lin Fei didn't rush to run without the ball in the frontcourt, but stopped outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, facing Allen Iverson.

"Lin, you performed very well in this Olympic Games. It's a pity that you don't have a suitable guard to partner with you. Otherwise, the Tianchao men's basketball team will definitely have the opportunity to go further!"

Iverson's remarks were understated, but at the same time it seemed to express Lin Fei's dissatisfaction that he did not choose the Philadelphia 76ers to join forces with him during the offseason.

In fact, after the finals, Lin Fei and his agent Qin Dongmei also seriously considered the 76ers, and the contract offered by Philadelphia also reached an annual salary of nearly 500 million dollars.
But the 76ers' coaching staff is also chaotic. Last season, three coaches were changed, and the team's main force and substitute configuration are not up to the championship level.

At the same time, Lin Fei also considered Iverson's rebellious character, long-term lack of training and arrogance, which has inevitably made his career go downhill.

Lin Fei concentrated his energy and observed the offensive situation in the frontcourt all the time. At the same time, he calmly responded to Iverson:
"Allen, as long as I stand on the court, my only goal is to help the team win. I will play against you tonight, and I will score higher than you!"

Lin Fei knew that in the last knockout match, Iverson completely ignored his teammates and entered a crazy singles mode. He scored 30 points in 36 shots and had 11 penalties.

Therefore, it is very necessary to challenge Iverson to a certain extent tonight.

"Lin, after all, you are still too young to know the heights of heaven and earth. I saw my rookie season in you!"

At the moment when the two were talking, the inside twin towers on Tianchao's side gave full play to their advantages and roughly attracted Duncan to the high position.

"Shh!"

China (2): (4) The United States.

Facing Stoudemire's endless trash talk, Dayao slumped into the penalty area and responded with a tough performance.

After the transfer of the ball, Iverson took the ball directly in the backcourt and advanced to the top of the frontcourt. After facing Lin Fei, he obviously wanted to use his personal ability to teach Lin Fei a lesson in singles.

"Lin, stand still, I hope you won't be knocked down like your teammates!"

The 29-year-old Iverson is a little less rebellious and more calm and sophisticated, but his physical condition is no longer in the state of his peak.

Lin Fei concentrated and kept a distance of about one and a half steps from Iverson. Zhu Fangyu on the left side of the frontcourt also gave up some distance to Marion, ready to defend at any time.

Iverson's breakthroughs have always gone to the right, which is well known.

But even so, everyone still can't prevent him. This is the horror of AI.

"Whoosh!"

With a super large crossover, Iverson lowered his center of gravity, and instantly swayed Lin Fei enough distance away.

Lin Fei had already judged this, so he didn't panic in the slightest. His footsteps were steady, and he used oblique sliding steps to defend, which obviously gave Iverson enough space to shoot, mainly pinching the middle of the penalty area.

Before the game, the coaching staff of the Tianchao men's basketball team arranged a 1-2-2 defense strategy against Marbury and Iverson, but they did not use it immediately at the beginning of the game, but induced the two to fall into a solo battle.

Zhu Fangyu also made up on the left side, completely emptying Marion.

Marion's open three-pointers are not good, and his shooting percentage is only 26%, which can be selectively let go.

Seeing that Iverson was about to be double-teamed by the two, Marion, who was squatting in the left corner, did not move in time. Instead, he bent down and put his hands on his knees, watching Iverson show off his personal abilities.

Iverson made a sharp change to the left after a false shot by Buddha, but Lin Fei was not affected. Ma Buza stabilized his center of gravity and stretched his long arms, trying to allow himself to control a larger defensive space.

Seeing that Lin Fei didn't hesitate at all, Zhu Fangyu on the left was also approaching, and Dayao and Da Da in the depths of the penalty area were waiting, Iverson didn't hesitate, and after a crotch dribble decisively jumped out of the distance.

Lin Fei rushed forward quickly, trying to interfere as much as possible, even if it was a little bit.

Iverson's jumping position is about 13 feet from the basket. His shooting percentage in this area is the lowest in his career, less than 30%.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, the basketball missed and the rebound was grabbed by Dayao against Stoudemire.

Iverson froze in the first attack, and frowned suddenly. With a slightly aggrieved mood, his desire to attack naturally became stronger.

The Tianchao side played steadily, Dayao and Daqi made a screen pick-and-roll between the two towers in the high position,

Roughly using Dayao as the axis, he quickly shifted from the right side to the high position on the left side. Duncan was effectively delayed, and Stoudemire did not come up to defend immediately.

Dayao also quickly gave the ball to the general, who decisively seized the opportunity of an open shot and made a steady two-pointer about 5 meters away from the basket.

"Shh!"

Dayao and Roughly scored a goal each, and the Tianchao team quickly tied the score.

The players on the bench of Tianchao men's basketball team were also very excited, jumping up to cheer for the twin towers and waving towels.

Del Harris, who is also standing on the sidelines, can find from Yao and the general pick-and-roll just now that Duncan and Stoudemire did not communicate enough on defense and did not switch defenses in time.

Del Harris can also clearly find this point from the previous game video of the American Dream Six and other teams. The overall defense of the American team is passive and sabotage.

So Harris has every reason to believe that the Tianchao men's basketball team will definitely give the US team a huge surprise on the offensive end tonight, because they have Lin Fei.

The possession of the ball changed, and this time Iverson found the shooting rhythm after taking a sudden step away from Lin Fei. The mid-range shot was quite decisive, and the basketball went into the net hollowly.

"Shh!"

Coming back to the offensive end, Lin Fei finally drew his sword this time.

Lin Fei, who came to the frontcourt, first used his physical advantage to resist Iverson, and then suddenly accelerated and ran back. With the help of Dayao who held the ball in the high position on the left, he quickly came to the three corners near the 30-degree angle on the left. outside the breakout line,
This area is actually a huge test for chasing people, because after bypassing the cover, a large range of direction change is required.

After standing still, Lin Fei quickly received a pass from Dayao. Facing the delayed Iverson and Stoudemire who passively switched defenses, his eyes were cold, and he pulled up and shot.

"Shh!"

First.

Lin Fei's three-pointer came very abruptly, but it was reasonable.

Standing on the sidelines of the US team, head coach Philip Sanderston frowned.

For the team's opening defensive attitude, Philip Sanders is obviously dissatisfied.

In the few games of the group stage, the US team was almost like this. The defensive attitude was loose, and the offensive end was also fighting on its own.

In addition to Tim Duncan's active defense alone, Boozer, Stoudemire, Marion and others are all average, and they still look down on their opponents in their bones.

The US team attacks.

Iverson continued to play with the ball. Seeing that Lin Fei let him go two steps away, he made a decisive shot directly at the top of the arc on the three-point line.

Obviously, he wanted to quickly return Lin Fei with a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

But Iverson still handled the ball too casually, the basketball missed and shot out of the frame.

"Snapped!"

This time the rebound was taken by Stoudemire, who reacted faster, turned over with a feint and threw away Dayao, and jumped directly to send a dunk.

However, Stoudemire underestimated Yao's reaction speed at the basket, and he dunked the ball too confidently.

Almost turning around and jumping at the same time, Dayao raised his long arms behind Stoudemire, and slammed down with his big palm-like hands.

"Snapped!"

With a beautiful pegboard hat, the basketball slammed into the steel backboard obliquely and vigorously. After rebounding, it happened to be rushed up and grabbed by Zhu Fangyu on this side.

In fighting for rebounds, the Tianchao men's basketball team is also more active than the players of the US team.

Zhu Fangyu failed to get the ball to point guard Guo Shiqiang at the first time, and Marion quickly posted it to grab the ball from Zhu Fangyu.

Zhu Fangyu hugged the basketball tightly with his back, his strong body was not inferior to Marion at all, and he fought hard with the opponent.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and Marion grabbed the ball too hard and was called a foul.

Zhu Fangyu gritted his teeth and roared at Marion, as if to vent his anger on his teammate Liu Wei, and did not discourage these NBA stars at all.

"Snatch Nima! Ugly!"

Marion frowned immediately, and looked at Zhu Fangyu with a cold gaze. Although he couldn't understand the Chinese language, he obviously knew it was a curse.

"Fuck you!"

"Boy, listen up, I'm going to throw you into the trash heap with my own hands tonight!"

Lin Fei was amused by Zhu Fangyu's "ugly comparison", Marion's horse face was really ugly.

Although the Greek referee could not understand Chinese, he could still understand English. Seeing Marion swearing publicly, he rushed forward and threw another technical foul to the opponent.

"Beep!"

Marion was suddenly aggrieved, his face was purple with anger, and he had nowhere to reason.

The Tianchao fans in the front row of the stands also waved their fists excitedly, adding momentum to their players.

The FIBA ​​rule in this period is two free throws after a technical foul. It can be said that the penalty is obviously more serious than the technical foul in the NBA.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Lin Fei went to the free throw line to execute a technical foul free throw, and he made both free throws.

With the ball in his hands, Lin Fei continued to do high screen pick-and-rolls with Dayao in the frontcourt, received the ball misplaced and faced Stoudemire, and made another lightning attack.

"Shh!"

and also.

China (12): (6) The United States.

After being beaten 4:0 in the opening game, they quickly responded with a wave of 12:2, and the momentum of the dark horse was fully displayed.

Stoudemire was not active enough to switch defenses twice, and Lin Fei caught the gap in the catch and shot. Naturally, the US team will not have good fruit.

After hitting two three-pointers on the head of "Little Overlord" in a row, Lin Fei also met Stoudemire's angry eyes after landing gracefully, and said in a cold voice:

"Amale, you are the only one who deserves to compete with Dayao for the number one prize? Pooh!"

Stoudemire clenched his fists angrily, and said angrily, "Do you really think I can't defend against your three-pointer? I'm just an undrafted pick, and he deserves to yell at me?"

Seeing that the United States was beaten 12:6 by China in the opening game, many NBA fans watching the game also weakened in momentum.

Philip Sanders didn't hold back, and immediately chose to call a long timeout, and sternly reprimanded Stoudemire who came off the field:

"Can you defend well? Every time you switch defenses, you are so slow. What did I say before the game? Let Lin have such a large shooting space, are you looking for death?"

In the face of Philip Sanders' reprimand, Stoudemire looked unhappy, and retorted coldly: "Don't make your own apprentice talk too much, the undrafted pick is a undrafted pick after all!"

Philip Sanders was so angry that he waved his hand and said angrily:

"You just sit on the bench for me, LeBron, you go up, match up with Zhu, Marion go up to the power forward! Tim go against Yao!"

"Remember what I said, don't underestimate this year's Celestial Men's Basketball Team, you must keep your spirits up on the defensive end, otherwise God will not favor us!"

"Tim and Sean both have good defensive switching capabilities. Once Lin, Yao or Wang are covering the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, they must switch quickly!"

"Of course, according to the situation, we can also double-team Yao or Wang who is holding the ball, and cut off his way out of the ball!"

Stoudemire, who sat back on the bench, was also very aggrieved.

He didn't score for a few minutes on the court, and he also got a big hat from Dayao. If he doesn't give him playing time, then he will be blown up against Dayao tonight!
Whether the team wins or not is not the key, but it is absolutely impossible to be blown away by Dayao!

Back from the timeout, Marbury took the ball to the frontcourt.

Tianchao's side quickly changed to a 1-2-2 zone defense. Lin Fei, the leader, blocked the breakthrough route of the ball holder.

This kind of zone defense strategy is indeed the best way to limit the US team with super outside ball holders.
In the group stage, Puerto Rico and Litao Bowl can win the United States, and the defensive end adopts this 122 zone defense strategy.

As for why a top team like Spain was defeated by the United States in the 8-to-4 knockout round, there is no problem with the defense strategy. It can only be said that it was shot to death by Iverson.

What's more, the referee also had a problem with the penalty scale in that game, giving Iverson and the US team more whistles.

But Iverson is not Curry and Thompson, let alone Lin Fei. How could he be so accurate in every game?
The effect of the 1-2-2 zone defense came up immediately, and Iverson was double-teamed and forced a difficult projectile to miss the frame.

"Bang!"

It's just that the offensive rebound was caught by the experienced Duncan, and he hit Dayao with his back, and the signature 45-degree angle shot of turning around was available.

"Shh!"

Although Duncan is the inside pillar of the Dream Six team and co-captains the team with Iverson, he has very little possession of the ball.

Regarding the problem of Iverson and Marbury having too much possession of the ball, although Duncan did not tear his face on the surface, he was naturally dissatisfied psychologically.

If the U.S. team wins the championship this year, then all the conflicts will disappear, but if they don't win the gold medal, then Duncan vowed that he will never participate in the Olympics again.

The Chinese team attacked.

Both Marion and Duncan's ability to switch defenses is excellent, and their wingspan is also terrifying. This made Lin Fei unable to get a good chance to catch the ball after the screen.

Dayao took the ball and attacked the basket. After encountering a supplementary defense, he passed the ball to the right, and the latter succeeded in an empty cut and dunk.

"Boom!"

"Beep!"

The ball went into the whistle, and the referee signaled that Marion fouled the general thug, 2+1.

Dayao's coping ability in this Olympic Games was fully displayed. Not only did he give Lin Fei a lot of assists, but also the general high and low connections were very lethal.

Roughly punching and roaring at the basket to score 2+1, venting his emotions, although there is no speed advantage in the matchup with Marion, Roughly's height and wingspan completely crush the opponent.

After playing in the NBA for four seasons, he was generally on the edge of the bench and did not get enough opportunities to prove himself.

And facing these familiar faces in the NBA tonight, especially an All-Star substitute striker like Marion, he generally knew that he could not back down.

The performance in this Olympic Games will directly determine whether they can continue to play in the NBA in the new season, or even win the favor of the team, becoming the main rotation on the bench.

So I generally know that he must do his best and show his iron-blooded spirit and unyielding will of a soldier.

As Lin Fei's senior and teammate, whether it is the current Tianchao men's basketball team or the Miami Heat in the new season, he generally knows that he cannot embarrass the opponent.

Only about 5 minutes into the first quarter, Marion had committed two fouls, and he was obviously aggrieved emotionally.

Lin Fei was also keenly aware that tonight the two foreign referees obviously wanted to take care of the Tianchao men's basketball team, and of course the calls were within a reasonable range.

After the life-and-death battle against Greece in the last game, the players and coaching staff of the Tianchao men's basketball team became frightened. As long as the referee is not too biased towards the opponent, it can be regarded as taking good care of them.
