71. More than just breakthroughs
The coaching staff of the Spanish team sitting on the sidelines easily saw that the Frenchman's position was like guarding the joint defense... But before they could see clearly, they suddenly realized that the Frenchman had become a man-to-man defensive strategy again.
This made the Spaniards feel a little confused about this because they don’t understand what the French are selling. Should they still use the human-to-human tactics to defend Wu Dawei in the second half of the game!?
This approach made the Spanish coaching staff very puzzled, because the man-to-person tactics were fully demonstrated in the first half of the game, which was a tactic that could not be curbed by Wu Dawei.
Because this requires the defender to have very outstanding strength, at least it must be not much different from the defender, otherwise it will basically be the ending of being beaten. Just like the match between Nicholas Batum and Wu Dawei at this time.
Batum was undoubtedly at a disadvantage, and this is a situation that anyone with a discerning eye can see. But in this case, the French team still did not make adjustments in the second half of the game, which made people feel a bit incredible.
Because this looks a bit like waiting to die...
This is definitely an incomprehensible choice. At least the Spanish coaching staff did not see through Fan Shang Kole's arrangement at all.
Wu Dawei held the ball at a high position, and once again faced Batum's defense, he was under no pressure at all. Seeing that other French players did not intend to come up to assist in defense and attack, Wu Dawei launched an attack directly!
Looking towards Nicholas Batum's thin body, Wu Dawei's momentum was extremely fierce, crushing it like a tank. Batum was powerless to stop Wu Dawei's breakthrough. It was like Tony Parker bullying Liu Wei before, but the way of crushing was different. Parker relied on his speed to make Liu Wei helpless, while Wu Dawei relied on his tonnage advantage.
He almost crushed all the way and rushed into the paint area. Then, he easily scored!
Wu Dawei's successful breakthrough helped the Chinese men's basketball team to get a good start in the second half. The score was quickly rewritten again and became 55:51, and the score difference still returned to the 4-point ranks.
Fan Shang Cole, the head coach of the French men's basketball team, frowned, and then nodded at Tony Parker, who was asking him with his eyes on the court as if he had made up his mind.
The Chinese team scored a goal, and the ball was naturally back to the hands of the Frenchman. However, Tony Parker missed in the half-court attack. After all, his shooting percentage tonight was not as terrifying as Wu Dawei, and he reached 100% of the silly.
The basketball hit the basket, and the rebound was put into his arms by Yi Jianlian under the basket. Seeing the opportunity, Wu Dawei rushed over to the main person and reached out to Yi Jianlian for the ball.
Yi Jianlian passed the ball directly to Wu Dawei without delaying it. After Wu Dawei got the ball, he immediately sounded the horn of counterattack. His propulsion speed was extremely fast. Although the tonnage was large, Wu Dawei's steps were also very large.
This ensures that he can maintain speed while advancing, while the French players still try to stop Wu Dawei during the gap in retreat, which makes them embarrassed. Wu Dawei's advancement momentum is unstoppable. Although the French try to stop Wu Dawei's pace when he retreats, this is in vain.
Wu Dawei finally rushed into the heart of the French paint area on the same road, and then scored his 24th point in the game with a dunk! At the same time, this was also the eleventh basketball shot by Wu Dawei in this game, and it was also the eleventh goal he scored in this game!
Wu Dawei still maintained his shooting percentage with every shot! There is no doubt that this is a bit scary result. At least the French are no longer just feeling uneasy about it.
Although they relied on Tony Parker's personal performance in the second half, the Chinese team then performed better. They continued to have an advantage in the game, and such a situation is not optimistic. Of course, compared to the French, this is definitely the situation they least want to see.
Because in this way, not only did they not regain their disadvantages in the second half of the game, but instead made the scene more and more difficult... This was just the beginning of the second half of the game. If it continued like this, the French team's collapse would start to count down...
57:51, the ball rights were once again returned to the French.
Tony Parker still dribbled in the frontcourt, but this time he did not attack by himself. Instead, he chose to play a high pick-and-roll with Dior at the high position and passed the ball to the latter. Although Dior is old and weak, there is no doubt that his delicate feel is still there. After receiving Tony Parker's pass from the high position, he accurately scored near the middle distance.
57:53, although I was a little busy with the Chinese team's random beatings before, fortunately, the French team did not lose their composure.
The score was once again narrowed to 4 points, but the Chinese team still had the opportunity to expand their lead, and the ball rights were back in their hands. Liu Wei once again tangled with Tony Parker in the backcourt for a long time before he came to the frontcourt with difficulty.
Wu Dawei hurried to the high position to meet him, and the latter passed the ball to Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei held the ball at the high position, and the Frenchman immediately became nervous again.
Wu Dawei made two more shots in the second half. If the French could not curb Wu Dawei's performance in the second half, then they would undoubtedly lose.
So when the French saw Wu Dawei receiving the ball at a high position again, their pores even became nervous. Especially in this defense, Nicholas Batum, who still had to face Wu Dawei, became nervous all over.
However, even though the French are so afraid of Wu Dawei, they did not forget the voice of head coach Fan Shang Kolai shouting to let everyone change their tactics. This may be the only hope for the French in this game tonight!
Wu Dawei held the ball at the high position, but this time he still did not choose to let his teammates help with the pick-and-roll. Wu Dawei was preparing to face Nicholas Batum one-on-one. Tonight on Batum, Wu Dawei found great confidence, and at this time he was not under any pressure to fight him alone.
Wu Dawei rushed up. Batum still lost his position again soon. Then, Wu Dawei successfully rushed into the three-point line. However, he found that the French team had a replacement soon, and the sudden backup defense did catch Wu Dawei off guard.
Because he thought the French would no longer use the tactics of pincer attack on him, but now... he saw the positions of other French players from the corner of his eyes and faintly put himself in a surround situation, which made Wu Dawei understand immediately.
It's joint defense!
But Wu Dawei was blocked all passing routes at this time, and he had already made a shooting move. At this moment, Wu Dawei had no choice but to make another choice, so he had to choose to force the shot.
The ball hit the basket, and the Frenchman suddenly changed the formation and suddenly received a miraculous effect, instantly breaking Wu Dawei's tightness in this game tonight!
The ball bounced out of the box and was given a rebound by the Frenchman!
Wu Dawei's first offensive miss tonight made the French fans cheer and also made Espanyol on the sidelines' eyes lit up. After getting the ball, the French team quickly counterattacked and successfully completed the score in the frontcourt. In an instant, the score difference that was originally opened by the Chinese men's basketball team not long ago suddenly became only 2 points left...
57:55!
The French fans in the stadium were once again in high spirits. Although at the beginning of the second half, the French team did not play the basketball that the fans of the starting country expected were even at a greater disadvantage. Fortunately, they did not collapse, but cheered up again.
The continuous chasing of points once again approached the score difference so that only two points were left. The sudden change of the lineup caught the Chinese team off guard. It was obvious that the first joint defense seemed to be very effective due to the sudden appearance!
This gave the French a miraculous effect. While they approached the score, they also cheered up the entire team again!
Before, he was in a passive situation, and Fan Shang and Kolai did not ask for any timeout. At this time, the team regained their energy, so naturally it was even more impossible for him to request a timeout to disrupt such a chemical reaction!
The head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Deng Huade, did not ask for a timeout in a hurry. Although the Chinese men's basketball team was very passive by the French's continuous offensive at this time, the Chinese team was still the leading side on the basketball court, so Deng Huade had to wait and see.
Although Wu Dawei was broken in the trap set by the French before, he was defeated by the golden body that was always shot in the game tonight, Bob Deng Huade still trusted Wu Dawei very much!
Wu Dawei, who made 11 of 12 shots, is still the unstoppable superstar on the basketball court!
Bob Deng Huade believed in Wu Dawei's ability to adjust himself, so he did not ask for a timeout. When the Frenchman narrowed the gap to the point difference so that there were only 2 points left, the Chinese team quickly attacked again.
Liu Wei was controlling the ball at a high position, and Wu Dawei did not rush up to meet him immediately, but looked at the situation on the basketball court from the wing. Of course, what he had to pay special attention to was the French formation. Then soon, the Chinese team's several passes on the outside could make the prototype of the formation emerge.
The French team lined up a 2-3 joint defense formation. Is it the reason why Wu Dawei even used his toes to imagine it. Of course, it is because his breakthrough success rate is too high. He has scored 24 points at the free throw line. Except for the 2 points, the other 11 sports goals were basically broken into the penalty area.
Therefore, when the single-player defense and pinch-attack strategies were not effective, Fan Shang Kole could only line up such a defensive formation.
2-3 joint defense can indeed effectively suppress players with excellent breakthrough ability, and it is also a very good formation for the wing defense. However, the same is true, since they are three soldiers on the offline line, their defense on the online line will be relatively weak.
And coincidentally, Wu Dawei is not just a player who can only break through!
So after observing the opponent's formation, Wu Dawei rushed to the high position to catch the ball. Liu Wei did not hesitate at all. The moment he saw Wu Dawei rushing to receive the ball, he handed the ball to him, because Liu Wei tried to find the gap in the attack before, but he could not find it.
After handing over the ball, Liu Wei ran to the wing and left the entire top of the three-point line to Wu Dawei.
When the French fans and head coach Fan Shang Cole on the sidelines saw Wu Dawei coming to the high position to catch the ball again and seemed to want to make another breakthrough to the inside, they were no longer just uneasy. They had successfully defended Wu Dawei's breakthrough for the first time in this game, which made the Frenchman look forward to it.
The Spaniard on the sidelines also wanted to laugh at Wu Dawei's intentions. Was he so stubborn? Or is Wu Dawei's offensive methods so lacking, and he only has confidence in his breakthrough?
Wu Dawei did not think as much on the basketball court. He called Sun Yue from the side to support the pick-and-roll for himself. Wu Dawei successfully threw away Nicholas Batum, who was following the defense with the pick-and-roll at the top of the three-point line, but was followed by Kevin Seraphin, who was previously responsible for defending Sun Yue.
However, facing this rookie who ranked 17th in the first round in 2010, Wu Dawei had no intention of retreating at all. Seraphim seemed very nervous because the strength shown by Wu Dawei's previous breakthrough made him feel that Alexander was.
So when Wu Dawei lowered his body and tried to hit the inside, Seraphine took a big step back in panic! But at this moment, Wu Dawei, who was breaking through, suddenly held his body and took a step back and caught Seraphine off guard!
Wu Dawei instantly opened the space between himself and Seraphine and then jumped straight outside the three-point line!
He jumped very high and made a shooting gesture at the same time. Although this was Wu Dawei's first shot outside the three-point line in this game, he was extremely confident!
The moment the ball passed by, the stadium once again echoed the cheers of Chinese fans! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
