NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 762 Semifinals

762 Semi-finals: Huaxia VS France
Harden's words were endorsed by coach Popovich.

The US team played against any other team in the world, basically five points are all-round suppression.

Only when facing China, they are at a disadvantage in terms of shooting guards.

The current lineup of the United States is Harden playing shooting guard.

Even if he is in his peak state, it would be a bit of a disadvantage to fight the current Wang Yi, not to mention that his state has declined slightly now.

However, in the other 4 positions, the Huaxia team is fully suppressed.

Point guard Curry;

Small forward Durant;

power forward Zion;
Center Towns.

Although this kind of lineup is not as luxurious and dreamy as the previous dream team, it is well-deserved number one in the current world basketball world.

There is no problem in crushing the other positions of the Huaxia team with their lineup.

But Greg Popovich still reminded all players: "But still have to be careful with Wang, even if we suppress other points, Wang Yi is likely to explode in full swing."

He is here to remind the players.

In terms of the paper strength of the US team, it is a well-deserved number one in any World Series.

But why has the US team always lost the championship in recent years?
First, because the basketball level of other countries has indeed improved, the gap with the US team is no longer that big.

Second, the US team is too conceited.

Their players always underestimate their opponents.

And they all think that they are NBA players, and they will definitely be C in the international arena.

Therefore, there is always a tendency for the players to fight alone.

The result is always a loss to the opponent's overall battle.

And Popovich will never allow his players to make such mistakes.

Half an hour after the US team used up the meeting room, the French players also held a meeting in this meeting room.

After the Huaxia team defeated Slovenia, in the semi-finals the day after tomorrow night, Huaxia will face the French team.

Among all the teams, in addition to the US team, the French team has a luxurious lineup.

They have the best defensive player in the NBA Gobert.

And Batum and Fournier.

And 5 of their lineup are active players.

There are also three players who have played in the NBA.

So they are seen as the only team that can compete with the United States for the championship.

Although the Huaxia team has Wang Yi, basketball is a sport of five people after all.

No matter how outstanding Wang Yi's personal ability is, the level of the other four positions in Huaxia is very ordinary.

If they want to defeat the French team, the difficulty may be no less than that of Wang Yi leading the Kings to win the championship.

French coach Vincent told the players:
"You also watched the game just now, do you have anything to say?"

In fact, they also went to watch the match just now.

This game will decide whether they will play against China or Slovenia next time, so they naturally have to pay attention, but they are sitting in the corner, and the lights rarely hit them, so few spectators noticed their arrival.

As the leader of the French team, Gobert was the first to speak: "It's difficult."

"I mean, it will be very difficult for us to face Huaxia in the next game. Although we have great advantages against Huaxia at the other four positions, at the point of shooting guard, Wang Yi will occupy a greater advantage.”

France's shooting guard Fournier was a little sad when he heard this.

He also averaged 18 points per game during his NBA peak.

I think it's pretty good already.

And those MVP-level players, the difference is less than 10 points.

But compared with Wang Yi's average of more than 40 points per game, it is really far behind.

Coupled with Wang Yi's explosive performance during this year's playoffs.

He faced Wang Yi, basically he could only look like he was being crushed.

When Gobert said this, the other players of the French team were also silent.

Even their head coach Vincent was silent.

Their other 4 points are against the Huaxia team. Although they have an advantage, their advantage is not as great as that of the US team.

So they don't have much confidence in the Huaxia team.

But the silence at this time is obviously not good for the team, so even if coach Vincent has no choice, he still has to say a few words.

It's okay to be silly.

"In fact, we have the strength of Gobert inside. He is the top frame protector in the NBA. With him, Wang Yi can't wreak havoc on the inside like he did against Slovenia."

"So we have to strangle Wang Yi's inside line on the defensive end. As for the outside line, we still adopt the strategy of double-teaming. Two people play, and one person is ready to defend at any time. The FIBA ​​three-point line is much shorter than the NBA. , the distance between each point on the perimeter is shorter than in the NBA, so even after three people double-team Wang Yi and let him pass the ball, it is less difficult for others to rotate than in the NBA.”

"So we are relatively confident in this game."

"The most important thing is that Wang Yi's three-pointer in the last game was too exaggerated. I don't believe that he will be so exaggerated in two consecutive three-pointers."

Fournier also boosted the morale of the team at this time.

"One thing the coach didn't mention is that the Huaxia team has no experience in the semi-finals. The defensive strength of the semi-finals is far from comparable to that of the quarter-finals. No one in Huaxia has experienced this. So we can rely on our wealth experience to defeat them."

Through the discussion of the players, they finally analyzed the various possibilities for them to defeat the Huaxia team. They found that no matter from which aspect, they have a very high possibility of defeating the Huaxia team.

Of course, the premise is that they must be careful and not take it lightly.

As for the Huaxia team, coach Du Feng is also leading the students to study the French team's style of play.

In fairness, he thinks that the Huaxia team may win or lose against the French team.

China four, France six.

But as a head coach, he can't say.

What we need to do now is to find a way to improve the morale of the players as soon as possible. He knows that the games between the two sides are divided into fours and sixes, and the players naturally know it, so how to stimulate the fighting spirit of the players under such circumstances and let them go on the court Fight hard, that's all he has to do.

At this discussion meeting, Wang Yi put forward a point of view: "Just play the outside line."

"Our outside shooting rate is much higher than that of the French team. And I have a super long three-point range, which can stretch their line very long, so that others have more opportunities. Although Gobert protects the frame He's very capable, but he can't defend against the perimeter."

"Defensively he can be a strong point for France, but at the same time he can be a weak point if we change our thinking."
