king of defenders

Chapter 1481 It seems to be getting stronger again!

Because the strength gap between the two sides in the previous grouping was too great, it was obvious that they could no longer be grouped in this way, and it was meaningless to continue training like that.

Director Gong regrouped the players. This time, he separated Meng Yun, Xiang Long, and Yi Jianlian into two teams.

In the Basketball World Cup last year, Director Gong tried to separate Meng Yun, Xiang Long, and Yi Jianlian, trying to ensure that two of the three of them were on the court at all times. Enough rest can also reduce the conflict of ball possession on the court, allowing them to better display their strength.

And through the verification of the Basketball World Cup, it proves that this is indeed a good way.

In last year's Basketball World Cup, Meng Yun, Xiang Long, and Yi Jianlian played very well, and finally led the team to the finals.

Although they failed to win the championship in the end, this is already the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in an international competition, and they have already made history.

Of course, this Tokyo Olympics is very different from last year's Basketball World Cup.go
In the Basketball World Cup in [-], some teams sent their strongest lineups, but some teams did not send their strongest lineups, such as the US team and the Canadian team.

These teams did not field their strongest rosters, and there are some strong players who did not participate in last year's Basketball World Cup.

Especially the U.S. team. The lineup of the U.S. team at the Basketball World Cup last year can be said to have disappointed the fans. The biggest player in it was Kemba Walker, those superstars, such as James, Durant, Curry, Harden, etc. None of them came, and most of the team were young people, such as Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell and so on.

In the Basketball World Cup, these young people exposed many problems. Although they won the championship in the end, everyone can see that there is a certain element of luck in this.

This year's Olympics is obviously more important than last year's Basketball World Cup. In fact, in the eyes of many NBA players, the Olympics is the international competition they recognize, and the Basketball World Cup is a level behind the Olympics, so many players are not very willing. Participate in the Basketball World Cup.

So this year's US team has a stronger and more gorgeous lineup than last year.

The lineups of some other teams are also stronger than last year's Basketball World Cup. Almost all the twelve teams have sent their strongest lineups. That's why Yao Ming said that their opponents are stronger and the pressure is greater this time.

Everyone in the Chinese men's basketball team can feel this pressure, so they want to do better.

Director Gong is the same. They used the strategy of splitting Meng Yun, Xiang Long, and Yi Jianlian last year, but what he wants to do now is to further polish, hoping to have better results.

The competition restarted.

This time, Meng Yun was assigned to the white team, while Xiang Long and Yi Jianlian were in the red team. The other players also made some adjustments. The strength of the lineups of both sides became balanced. Both sides came and went, and the competition seemed more intense than before. Much more, no longer one-sided.

"Pull away."

Meng Yun made a gesture, and now it was Zhao Rui who was facing Meng Yun. Zhao Rui bent down, staring straight at Meng Yun, and his eyes fell on Meng Yun's heels.

In a defensive situation, if you focus on defending against the opponent's breakthrough, then you must focus on the opponent's shoulder, because most breakthroughs are combined with direction changes, and changes in direction first reflect changes in the shoulders.However, there are also offensive players who take advantage of this, deliberately shake their shoulders, make some fake moves to confuse the defender, induce the defender to make wrong judgments and actions, and take the opportunity to complete the breakthrough.

But to prevent the opponent from shooting is actually not to stare at the basketball or the opponent's hand. You have to predict in advance and jump up in advance. In fact, nine times out of ten to block the opponent will fail. The biggest purpose of defense is not to block the opponent, but to interfere with the opponent's shooting. As long as the opponent cannot make a shot, your defense will be considered It was a success.

Most of the shots will take off. Even a few centers, such as Jokic and Boban, who don’t like to jump, at least stand on tiptoe when shooting. This is the basis of shooting. Shooting does not rely on wrist force , but the whole body, the waist and abdomen drive the arms.

So whether the opponent will shoot or not, you can know by looking at the opponent's heel. If the opponent's heel is raised, then it is very likely that the opponent is going to shoot.

Zhao Rui also knew that his speed was too far behind Meng Yun's. If Meng Yun wanted to break through, he couldn't stop him at all, so he just kept staring at Meng Yun's heels. If Meng Yun wanted to shoot, he would immediately act and jump. Get up as intrusive as possible.

Of course, it is also possible to be cheated. Once he takes off, he loses his defensive position and is easily passed by, but he is not afraid, because even if he is passed by Meng Yun, there are still Xiang Long and Yi Jianlian behind him.

However, Mu Yun did not choose to break through. Although he made a gesture to his teammates, urging everyone to pull away, as if he wanted to play singles and break through, but he just made a fake move of breaking through, and then directly pulled out. Meng Yun is tall and has a quick shot. By the time Zhao Rui jumped up to block the shot, it was already too late.

With a bang, the basketball went into the net hollow.

The ball returned to the red team, Zhao Rui pushed the ball to the front court, and then passed it out. The basketball was passed twice among several people, and finally reached Xiang Long's hands.

Meng Yun is in the white team, and Xiang Long is in the red team. Naturally, the white team has Meng Yun as the core, and the red team has Xiang Long as the core.Xiang Long's personal ability is the strongest in the red team, so after passing two or three times and still not finding a chance, the red team handed the ball to Xiang Long.

Xiang Long took the ball in the low position, with his back against Wang Zelin, and first made a feint. Wang Zelin was not fooled and did not jump up easily.But at this moment, Xiang Long turned over suddenly, jumped up and shot, and the basketball hit the basket steadily, which made Wang Zelin very helpless.

on the sidelines.

Director Gong nodded slowly, with a smile on his face: "Compared with last year, it seems that Meng Yun and Xiang Long have improved a lot. Especially Xiang Long's progress is very obvious. He has completed a transformation this season."

Yao Ming also nodded when he heard it, and said: "Xiang Long has indeed made great progress, just like what you said, has he completed a transformation this season, from an excellent player to an All-Star player?" , The whole person has become mature. However, Meng Yun's progress is not small. To be honest, I could see some of Meng Yun's strength clearly last year, but now I can't see clearly how Meng Yun's strength is. How strong."

"That's right!" Director Gong said, "I can't see it either. But, haha, this is a good thing for us!"
