Chapter 546 Let Kobe defend him

Krzyzewski looked at the time, and the time left for the US team was less than five minutes.

"How could this game be played like this!" Krzyzewski took a deep breath, and everything in front of him felt extremely unreal.

Krzyzewski is very confident in this American team, or it can be said that he is very confident in his coaching ability. He feels that even in the face of Spain, Argentina, Lithuania, Greece and other world The top strong teams should also enter garbage time in the second half of the fourth quarter. How could it be possible to only lead by 1 point like now!

And the opponent is still the Chinese team, which in Krzyzewski's opinion is not a first-class team. Facing the Chinese team, he doesn't even bother to arrange any tactics. He thinks that the players' performance on the spot is enough to win victory.

However, things were completely different from what he had imagined. In the second half of the fourth quarter, the one-point difference seemed to be a merciless slap in the face of Krzyzewski.

"Is this still the Chinese team? Is this the same Chinese team we met in the first game of the group stage?" Krzyzewski couldn't help asking himself, and the team that had no resistance in the group stage Compared with the Chinese team, it is like a completely different team in front of us now.

In the next attack, Zhang Guan made another exquisite pass. Veteran Li Nan completed the attack with a pull-up jumper after receiving the ball. The Chinese team went ahead by 1 point.

"It's this kind of pass again! This kind of pass looks like a coincidence. When the ball flew to that position, the number 10 of the Chinese team also appeared in that position. If it was half a second late, the ball would be gone." He flew over, and if the person hadn't arrived half a second earlier, he would naturally not be able to catch the ball. More importantly, Zhang Guan had his back to that position, and he didn't even look at it. Passing the ball?" Krzyzewski was full of confusion.

Not only Krzyzewski, Paul who was in charge of defending Zhang Guan, and Kobe who was in charge of defending Li Nan were also full of depression.

Paul is the person closest to Zhang Guan. Of course he knows that since Zhang Guan took the ball, he has been staring at the front, and his eyes have not even turned to the side, but he knows that there will be teammates behind him. It seemed impossible to Paul at all.

"How did he know that No. 10 will be there? Maybe there is a secret code between the players of the Chinese team?" Paul thought silently.

On the other side, Kobe seemed a little annoyed, because the player he was defending scored, so of course the blame would be on Kobe.

When Zhang Guan started to move just now, not only was his back facing this direction, but Li Nan hadn't moved to this position yet, even Kobe couldn't have wanted Zhang Guan to throw the ball to a position where no one was there.

"It's this kind of pass again, people arrive and the ball arrives. It's fine if you watch people pass. He throws the ball without even looking at people. Isn't he afraid of losing the ball? Is it true that the Chinese team has such a tacit understanding? How much?" Kobe thought to himself.

"Zhang Guan has eyes behind his back!" Li Nan, who had just finished scoring, also looked at Zhang Guan in surprise. Although Zhang Guan made the same pass a few times before, the receiver was not Li Nan. There is no deeper experience, but just when Li Nan was running towards the open space, the ball appeared in front of him without warning, which made Li Nan also startled. Fortunately, the nickname "Xiao Li Feidao" is not for nothing. As an experienced veteran, he certainly will not miss this good opportunity.

On the sidelines, coach Jonas and the coaching staff of the Chinese team were already dazed.

This national team has been formed for several months. After training in the team, going out for training, various warm-up matches, and even several games in the Olympic Games, the strength of the men's basketball team is a few catties and a few taels. , The coaching staff already knew it well, but the performance of the players on the field at this time has completely exceeded their expectations.

This style of play has never been seen before! I don't understand this kind of tactics! The players seemed to run around aimlessly for a while, and then the ball was passed to the neutral position inexplicably. This situation is incredible to anyone.

Now the coaching staff of China and the United States feel that neither Krzyzewski nor Jonas knows how to continue to arrange tactics. Krzyzewski didn't think of a way to break the Chinese team's blind running, but Jonas knew that this was not a tactic he had arranged at all, let alone how to "arrange".

Finally, Krzyzewski was the first to react, because the US team must not lose this game.

The Chinese team and the US team can play like this, even if they lose, it is an honor to lose; and even if the US team wins, it seems that it is very difficult to win, not to mention that the current US team may not be able to win.

Krzyzewski still can't see through the running positions of the Chinese players at all. Everyone is running around. It would be strange if Krzyzewski could understand! However, Krzyzewski already had a way to deal with it in his mind. Since he couldn't see through the running positions of other players, he should stop Zhang Guan's pass.

So far, Paul’s defense against Zhang Guan is actually not successful. Paul is faster. Although he will not be passed by Zhang Guan with an acceleration like Kidd, he can’t stop Zhang Guan’s pass. .

In the case of 1 defense and 1 defense, Paul is capable of defending against any point guard in the NBA, and the level of guards in the international arena is far inferior to that of the NBA, so Paul is still capable of defending against any point guard who appears in the Olympics, what? "No. 1 point guard outside the NBA" and "King of Europe" are not a problem in front of Paul. Perhaps only France's Parker can compete with Paul in the international arena.

But today there seemed to be a little accident. In the 1-on-1 confrontation with Zhang Guan, Paul's proud physical fitness was completely at a disadvantage.

The concepts of American basketball and European basketball are different. European basketball pays attention to joint defense and joint defense, while the defense of American basketball mainly relies on personal ability. In this kind of defense that relies on personal ability, speed and body have become two very important factors. links. Many defenders in the NBA are reputed to be not good enough defensively, either because they are not fast enough or not strong enough. American players, in particular, like to have muscular collisions with their opponents. On the contrary, some European or South American players will show their true qualities in defense. Fall" is what international players do.

Paul has speed and body. His physical fitness is considered top among all guards in the NBA. Of course, he is relatively tough defensively, but the body of a basketball player is still incomparable with that of a sprinter. Zhang Guan's body is obviously He is stronger than Paul, so Paul's defense against Zhang Guan seems to be struggling.

The US team did not defend any zone defense, but has been defending 1-on-1. A group of the world's strongest muscular clubs gathered together, and the word "joint defense" did not exist in their dictionary.

"Paul's defense against Zhang Guan is not very good." Krzyzewski looked at the bench, and it would be impossible to send Kidd on. This old guy can't hold Zhang Guan for a few rounds. As for Deron Williams, Krzyzewski shook his head secretly. Although Deron is strong enough, his speed is also not fast, and this guy's defensive awareness and defensive skills are relatively average. What defensive desire, this has already been seen from the US team's previous game.

The three point guards brought in were unreliable, so Krzyzewski had to turn his attention to several shooting guards of his own.

"Kobe, rely on Kobe at the critical moment! Now we have to let Kobe defend him!" Krzyzewski took a deep breath. He knew that at this time, Kobe was obviously the player he could trust the most.

Krzyzewski called a timeout, replaced Paul, replaced Wade, and made a new arrangement at the same time.

"Kobe, you will play the point guard in the next game. I think you must understand what I mean!" Krzyzewski paused, and then said: "The task of containing Zhang Guan is entrusted to you !"

The first chapter is delivered, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
