No team in the world is willing to encounter the US team in the first round of the knockout game. Even the weak team of Angola will be eliminated by anyone, but it is still unwilling to face the United States directly.

In the Olympics, the Chinese team had defeated Angola, but that was the home game. As Angola's strongest team in Africa, there are still some examples. At least in the latest issue of the world rankings, Angola ranked 12th, higher than Brazil, Croatia, Turkey and Russia.

Of course, this world ranking is a combination of the results of many continents and competitions. Angola has no opponents in Africa, and the ranking will naturally be higher. Like the Chinese team, due to the excellent performance in the Asian games, the world rankings can all enter the tenth place. . So this kind of ranking obviously cannot intuitively reflect the strength of the team

Angola reversed the German team and locked in the group's qualifying rights. Morale was flourishing. Black's physical talent in basketball also made Angola very active at the beginning of the game. Lu Tangda and Gomez hit three points respectively, and Angola led the start with a 6-2 score. Next, Angola's three-pointers are also very accurate, especially their number one star Gomez, hit four three-pointers in the first quarter, feel hot.

The Angolan team has no advantage in height, mainly relying on the projection of the small lineup, playing small ball tactics, for the Yao who has not recovered from the injury, he can’t keep up with the rhythm. It caused a great burden, so Deng Huade quickly replaced Dayao and replaced him with a younger and faster Zhang Zhaoxu.

In the first quarter, the hot Angolan team led the Chinese team 23 to 20. After the opening of the second quarter, Angola continued to continue the feeling. Lu Tangda scored six points in a row, once widening the score gap to 10 points, waiting until Zhang After winning the game, he only used several breakthroughs to create fouls, which disrupted the rhythm of the Angola team and curbed the Angolan offensive.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team approached the score. At the last moment, Zhang Guan made a breakthrough, allowing the Chinese team to lead by 45 points and 1 point into the second half.

Deng Huade was somewhat dissatisfied with the team's defense. He started to give young players "big blood" during the halftime break. I have to say that this move was very effective. Under the encouragement of Deng Huade, the Chinese team's defense changed in the second half. Be active a lot.

As for the Angola team, the shooting rate has started to decline. The Angolan team has no advantage in height, once there is no goal, there is no advantage in fighting for rebounds, so as long as the Angolan team does not score, it is difficult to have a second attack opportunity.

Failure to score for three consecutive rounds, coupled with two turnovers, the Chinese team played a small wave of 12-0 climax, extending the advantage to more than ten in one fell swoop.

At this time, the Angola team began to chase points as dreamed, but the impetuous shooting cannot guarantee the shooting rate. The Chinese team has entered the last quarter with 66-50.

In the fourth quarter, the Angola team was ready to die, but Zhang Guan's fast break after two steals quickly increased the score to 20 points. The difference of 20 points has been regarded as a relatively safe number in the fourth quarter. The game also lost its suspense at this moment. In the next game, the two sides have offensive and defensive each other, and the scores increase alternately. In the end, the Chinese team scored 83 to 70. Winning the game.

The Chinese team's record of 3 wins and 2 losses ranks third in the group. In the next knockout, the Chinese team will face the second team in Group B.

The first in Group A was won by Serbia, and the second was attributed to Argentina. Both of them were 4 wins and 1 loss, and Serbia's winning relationship was in possession. The fourth place in Group A was 2 wins and 3 losses in Angola, Germany and Jordan were eliminated.

...

In Group B, Iran and Tunisia are obviously here to accompany the prince to study, while the powerful American team takes lightly except for the victory over Brazil. The five-game winning streak made the US team easily placed first in Group B, and Angola, who is about to encounter in the knockout, is the softest persimmon in the knockout stage.

Slovenia unexpectedly finished second in Group B. Their top scorer, Persian Nakba, used a three-pointer to squeeze Brazil into third place. Slovenia has also become the first opponent of the Chinese team in the knockout.

...

Deng Huade was holding a tactical board with a very serious expression.

"Slovenia has a strong inside line. Their starting center Brezek is a player with ten years of NBA experience. The height of 2.16 meters also gives him an advantage in the center position. Their starting power forward Lakovi Qi is 2 meters tall and is a power forward. He was selected by the NBA in the 60th overall pick in 2007."

Deng Huade said that he couldn't help but glance at Arab League. The United Arab Emirates was selected as the No. 6 pick in 2007, and it is considered to be at the same level as Rakovic. Both of them are power forwards. Obviously, the task of dealing with Rakovic will be handed over to the United.

Ah Lian silently clenched his fists. He is the No. 6 rookie. If he can't do the No. 60 rookie in the same period, it is really disgraceful. In addition, the effect of the previous "fighting chicken blood" has already been in the heart of the United League. Suffocated.

Deng Huad continued: "Slovenia's starting player at the small forward position is Miha Zupan. You should have heard of him. That's right, the deaf. He is very strong and can play small forwards. The big forward can even face the center, has a strong rebounding ability, and has a good three-pointer."

Miha Zupan is a deaf player. His most obvious feature is that he wears a hood on his head, and a hearing aid is inserted in the hood to allow him to play like a normal player. Without hearing aids, Zupan could not hear the voices of teammates and coaches. God closed the hearing window for Zupan, but opened the basketball window for him. Zupan's body is very strong, his technique is also very good, the player is very high, maybe because of being deaf, Zupan is also very focused on playing, whether on the offensive or defensive end, they are more than normal players Difficult. And he became an official basketball player as a disabled person, which is also a great inspirational story in basketball.

"Slovenia's top scorer Persian Nakba, this time appeared as the second position, his height substrate also has an advantage in the third position, the advantage in the second position is even greater. To be honest, our No. 2 player is no better than Naqba." Coach Deng Huad said here, looked at Dayao, and then said: "Yao, your old friend is hard to get rid of!"

Dayao smiled, and didn't say anything more.

At the end of 2002, Naqba was selected by the Houston Rockets. It was also that year that the Houston Rockets drafted Dayao with the No. 1 pick in his hand, so Naqba and Dayao were comrades who entered the same NBA team in the same year. Although Yao, who had just entered the NBA at that time, was holding the title of champion, but still had to overcome the cultural and language differences, Nakba, who is also a rookie and also an international player, became a friend of Yao, a long period of time. At the time, Naqba was the only playmate of Yao, so the relationship between the two was very close.

Nakba's stats in the NBA are not good, even in the peak period can only be regarded as a qualified rotation player. However, the value of international players cannot be calculated according to NBA data. Too many international players will be unacceptable in the NBA, and the data is more general. When they return to the international arena, they become alive and well. A familiar example is called "Europe." Kobe Bryant's Spannolis is a rookie in the NBA. Offensive defense is not good. In the European League, he becomes the king. Various MVPs are in the pocket.

So Nakba, a player who can't average 10 points per game in the NBA, is the number one scorer and tactical core under the Slovenian system.

"No. 1 is our only position." Deng Huad looked at Zhang Guan, and then said: "Slovenia's starting point guard Dragic doesn't move fast, his movement frequency is slow, his body is not strong enough, and he lacks confrontation. The passing consciousness is average, and it is useless except for shooting. This guy is more like a shooter."

"Is Deng Huade really talking about Dragic?" Zhang Guan felt speechless in his heart. Dragic was the first-class defender in the NBA. He was also a "Mr. Billion". He was active in defense. The offense is aggressive, and the speed is not slow, especially when he is very proficient in pick-and-roll, and was even once called the "king of pick-and-roll".

However, in 2010, Dragic can only be regarded as a qualified rotation player, just stabilized the position of the Suns backup guard.

"Listening to Deng Huade's words, Dragic now seems very good! I wonder if he will frequently use pick-and-roll tactics in the game?" Zhang Guan thought silently.

...

Slovenia's head coach Zidovich is also arranging tactics.

"We lost to the Chinese team at the World Championships four years ago, and we suffered a lore at the last moment! And this time, we must not lose." Zidovic said, "The four years ago was still a group stage. Even if we lost, we still qualify. But this time it was a knockout game, we have no way out, so we have to win!"

"We are stronger than four years ago, but the Chinese team is also stronger than four years ago. They even defeated the US team in the Olympics! The good news is that through these few days of observation, I found that the Chinese team’s Center Yao, apparently has not fully recovered from the operation. His cumulative playing time in the group stage is only ten minutes." Ridovic found Zhang Guan's name on the tactical board behind him, and painted a circle on it, then Said: "So what we need to do most is to curb Zhang Guan's play!"

Zidovic said, looking at Dragic, at this time Dragic seemed a little nervous and uneasy. Obviously, he felt that he was unlikely to have the ability to limit the crown.

Zidovich continued: "Zhang Guan's sharpest offensive means is his breakthrough. Even the Dream Eight team, it is difficult to stop his breakthrough, and we may not be able to prevent Zhang Guan's breakthrough, even for this. There is a risk of fouling, so we have to prepare a plan B!"

"Plan B?" All the people focused their attention.

Just listen to Ridovic said: "We want to limit Zhang Guan's scoring as much as possible, but more importantly we have to score! The Chinese team is not as good as us in the second and third positions, so we have to play our Advantages, with Nakba and Zupan as our main points of attack."

Zidovic turned his head to look at Dragic, and then said: "Goran, pass the ball to Nakba and Zupan, it's up to you. If it is not easy to pass the ball directly, you can try to use the combination of pick and roll, To interfere with the defensive rhythm of the Chinese team and create opportunities for us."

...

On the first day of the knockout, in the first two group matches, Serbia defeated Croatia with a slight advantage of 73 to 72. Another focus battle was also carried out between European teams. The Spanish team led by Gasol Jr. took 80. The score of -72 defeated the Greek team. Serbia and Spain will compete for a semi-final seat.

On the second day of the playoffs, there were also four teams, namely China against Slovenia and France against the host Turkey.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese and Slovenian teams sent the main players to play. Unsurprisingly, the five starters in Slovenia are Brezek, Rakovich, Zupan, Nakba and Dragic. .

Brezek and the United Arab Emirates are responsible for the jumps of both sides. Brezek's timing is better, and Slovenia also has the opportunity to control the ball first.

As a member of the former Yugoslavia, Slovenia also inherited the Yugoslav style of basketball, the team is good at playing tactical cooperation, good at playing positional battles. In the positional battle, the role of the center is irreplaceable. Both sides are teams with power centers, so at the beginning of the game, Yao and Brezek were entangled with Maimang at the tip of the needle.

Brezek is naturally not as good as Dayao. Dayao also likes to deal with this traditional center. In the NBA game, Brezek encountered Dayao and was almost completely exploded. However, Dayao's injury has not recovered, especially in terms of physical confrontation. It is far from the peak, so when facing Brezek, although he did not suffer, he did not take advantage.

The inside centers of the two sides are locked to each other. At this time, the tactics surrounding the center are also abolished. Now players in other positions are required to come forward.

As the top scorer of Slovenia, Nakba stood out decisively at this time. He ran out of the space and signaled Dragic to pass the ball to himself.

Naqba ran out of position, but Dragic's pass was problematic. His ball was just thrown, but was stopped by a hand from next to him.

"Zhang Guan, steal!" The commentator had just finished saying this, but Zhang Guan had already rushed to the Slovenia half.

"Zhang Guan fast break!" Slovenian players realize this, but they can no longer stop Zhang Guan rushed to their rim and layup. (To be continued.)
