Chapter 726
Updated: 2013-04-25
Driven by Stephen, the Chinese national team once led by as much as six points, but the Argentine national team did not rush to adjust, but continued to adhere to their own playing style and defensive strategies, and could still stick to themselves from leading to falling behind. The Argentine national team fully demonstrated what a strong team style is.
When a team has problems, they will quickly adjust themselves, or the head coach will quickly ask for a timeout to make a re-arrangement. This is definitely not a strong team. A strong team should be able to stick to themselves without panic. Of course, it is normal to change and adjust, but the adjustments in panic will never get any effect.
Active adjustment and passive adjustment are two completely different reactions. If a team always adjusts in passiveness, or adjusts whenever there is a situation, then the team cannot be considered a team at least on a psychological level, because they always need to change the situation of the game through adjustments.
Active adjustments are to better defeat the opponent. For example, the San Antonio Spurs' adjustments are like this most of the time. Of course, after their strength declines, such adjustments are more, and when they have the strongest strength, there are often no need to make too much adjustment.
The Argentine national team sticks to their own style of play, but soon Nosioni received his third personal foul. In fact, when he received his second personal foul, Fernandez should have brought him down. However, Nosioni defends Stephen's first choice, except him, the Argentine national team does not have a very suitable player.
So Fernandez was not in a hurry to exchange him for it, and Nosioni was also a very experienced player. He could realize his fouls and would naturally make adjustments in his defensive actions. However, what he didn't expect was that he didn't want to foul, but Stephen refused to spare him like this. Although the FIBA's preference for offensive players is not as powerful as the league, the mainstream trend now is that offense is king, and FIBA is also in line with the trend of the times.
With the third foul, Nosioni would not be able to play in the first half at least. Although the Chinese national team had replaced Yao Ming with Yi Jianlian at this time, and the point guard was replaced by Sun Yue to Liu Wei.
Argentina also replaced Nosioni and replaced Carlos de Firno, which is also one of the main players of the Argentina national team. After entering the league in 2003, he has been playing for the Detroit Pistons. Before last season, the Detroit Pistons traded him to the Toronto Raptors, only changing to two second-round draft picks.
However, in the international arena, he is a very powerful player. He plays with a typical South American player style. He plays very passionately and toughly, and has a flexible and comprehensive technique. However, his defensive ability is still much worse than that of Nosioni.
So after he came on the court, Stephen quickly noticed this and played Delfino singles continuously. Delfino responded passively as if there was no way, but fortunately, he did not foul and was always showing great grievances after being singled by Stephen.
Stephen didn't notice it, but he accidentally got hit. When he forced Delfino to hit Delfino again, Delfino suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. The referee immediately ran over and gave Stephen an offensive foul, and at the same time he had a look in his eyes that I would give you a horse.
I forgot that South American players are good at this. Seeing Delfino get up as if nothing happened, Stephen still doesn't know that he has fallen into the trap of the other party. Who told me that he was accidentally? The referee was confused by the other party's performance.
Since Ginobili had received a foul just now, this is Stephen's second foul. For a defender, the number of fouls is not too many, and it is now the middle stage of the second quarter. It is not too early to calculate in terms of time.
After Liu Wei came up, he gave Stephen great help because he could control the ball or attack independently. At the same time, he did not suffer too much when facing Boroprileoni. If it were Chen Jianghua, it would not work. The difference between the two people in terms of physical strength was too big.
When Liu Wei first came up, he seemed to be furious on the bench and fought very fiercely. However, because Boroprireoni had been playing for a long time, he was a little exhausted in physical strength and energy. For a moment, he could not handle his offensive and was frequently given opportunities by Liu Wei.
Stephen also gave up the ball possession at this time, and then ran without the ball while waiting for an opportunity to help his teammates create opportunities. Stephen, who seemed to have given up possession, had no threat. Only Ginobili knew that Stephen in this state should not be underestimated, because Stephen started from this game state.
Especially this offensive mode will make the defensive strategy of Argentina formulated before the game useless, because if he doesn't hold the ball in his hand, you can't defend or double-team him. Moreover, his maneuvering range is spread throughout the half, and you can't arrange multiple defense lines throughout the half.
Ginobili is also very good at this offensive mode. The two are very similar in many places and have a set of offensive skills. However, they can also organize teammates and connect the team. Stephen is a typical core player in the Supersonics and the Chinese national team. Ginobili is also the core of their outside organization in the Spurs.
If Tony Parker is a sharp sharp knife, then Ginobili is the hand that controls the knife. This is the Spurs' offensive mode. When Stephen is there, sometimes it is the sharp knife, and sometimes it is the hand behind him. He always switches back and forth in different roles.
The Spurs trained Stephen's comprehensiveness and provided experience for Stephen to come to the Supersonics to bear multiple roles. Whether on offense or defensive end, Stephen is the team's engine. When the Spurs were on the Spurs, Stephen only played such a role for a few minutes at most.
After Delfino came on the court, Ginobili's pressure on the offensive end began to ease and began to reduce his own offensive role. Wang Shipeng was not able to defend Delfino well, especially when Delfino took action outside the three-point line.
At this time, Boroprireoni was also replaced by Fernandez and replaced by Juan Sanchez, further enhancing their strength on the offensive end. Ginobili retreated to the point guard position and continued to control the team.
As a result, the Chinese national team's defense was seriously misaligned. If Stephen continues to guard Ginobili, both Delfino and Juan Sanchez can have a physical advantage on Liu Wei. If Stephen changes to focus on other people, Liu Wei will not be able to guard Ginobili.
Stephen ignored Ginobili's moves for nearly four rounds, and still stared at Ginobili without any relaxation. As for Liu Wei's problem, Stephen directly made a substitution gesture to Yunas. Stephen believed that Yunas must understand his meaning. Whether it was Zhu Fangyu or Sun Yue coming up, it could solve this problem.
Yunas quickly followed Stephen's opinion and replaced Liu Wei with Zhu Fangyu. He had just come up and played for a few minutes. He felt that he was doing well and was replaced again. Liu Wei was naturally unhappy, but when he sat next to Yao Ming, Yao Ming briefly explained to him, and he immediately understood.
Stephen took a look at the game time. It was less than four minutes before the end of the first half, but his side was three points behind the opponent. Although the three-pointer was only a goal difference, the biggest problem for the Chinese national team in the face of the Argentine national team's offense is defense.
Because the opponent's lineup is their relatively stable lineup for several years, including the head coach, there has been no change. Whether it is his familiarity with tactics or personal cooperation between players, they are very outstanding.
If Argentina leads to the end of the first half, no matter how much leads, it will not be a good thing for the Chinese national team, because when they face a team with such experienced teams, the more difficult it will be to play at the end of the game.
Suddenly, Stephen changed his style of playing and dribbled the ball directly after halftime. Without waiting for other players to take the lead, he took big steps to the basket. Other players of the Chinese national team did not expect, and Argentina did not expect that although Ginobili stood in front of Stephen, Stephen just leaned on him and squeezed him behind him.
Then facing Scola, Stephen only used two changes of direction to lead Scola to another aspect, and then scored two points with a backhand layup.
Ginobili just received a serve from Garyeble Fernandez, and Stephen immediately posted it. Ginobili did not get into trouble with Stephen, but passed the ball to Delfino again, allowing Delfino to serve.
But the distance between him and Delphino was not too far. Stephen saw Wang Shipeng standing behind Delphino, and immediately turned around and rushed towards Delphino. Since he happened to be between Delphino and Ginobili, Delphino could no longer pass the ball back to Ginobili, so he immediately turned around to find other teammates.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he immediately saw a figure wearing a red jersey standing in front of him. Delphino shouted in his heart that it was bad. This made people pass the ball. So he hurriedly turned around and wanted to find another opportunity, but it was too late, and he felt an irresistible force in his hand passing the ball, snatching the ball from his hand.
After Stephen successfully grabbed the ball, he immediately turned around and launched a fast attack. Although Ginobili wanted to take the opportunity to counter-snatch Stephen again, Stephen protected the ball well. Although Ginobili stuck to Stephen until the basket, he still failed to stop Stephen's layup.
After two attacks were completed, the Chinese national team finally surpassed the score by one point. At this time, Delfino missed a three-pointer. Stephen rushed from outside the three-point line to the basket, took the rebound from the heads of four inside players, and then ran all the way with the ball. Before he could get close to the three-point line, he suddenly jumped up and pulled out a three-pointer.
Although the ball did not go to the ball, Stephen grabbed the rebound himself and then took another shot outside the three-point line. This time it was not lost. Argentina's head coach Fernandez saw this. Although it was only one minute and twenty-one seconds before the end of the first half, he still stood up and called a timeout.
