Chapter 1498 The Captain's Responsibilities

"beep"

Director Gong called a timeout.

When the players came down, Director Gong said solemnly: "Our defense is not good enough, we must strengthen our defense." Then he replaced Zhao Rui and Ding Yuhang, because not only to strengthen defense, but also to strengthen defense. Step up the offense.

The existence of Brother Antetokounmpo offsets the role of Xiang Long. Although there is still Meng Yun, Meng Yun must offset the role of two or three other people, which is too difficult.

The reason why they are behind is that the players in positions 2,3 and [-] are not equal in strength to the opponents in these two positions, whether it is defense or offense, they are not as good as the opponents.

And when one of the three Meng Yun is replaced, the situation is even more serious. For example, when Yi Jianlian is replaced, the Chinese team's offense is extremely dependent on Meng Yun and Xiang Long. Other players don't dare to play. Not good, so I gave the ball to Meng Yun and Xiang Long, because it is safer.

But it's too easy to attack like this.

The Greek players knew that the Chinese team relied on Meng Yun and Xiang Long's offense, so they would naturally focus on Meng Yun and Xiang Long in defense, which made it more difficult for Meng Yun and Xiang Long to score goals.

So there must be other people to stand up, especially the 2,3 and [-] positions, not only to strengthen the defense, try to prevent the opponent as much as possible, but also to stand up and score on the offensive end.

The pause ends soon.

When the two sides came back, Meng Yun made a breakthrough, then distributed the ball to Xiang Long, but this time Xiang Long didn't play by himself, but quickly passed the ball to Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui took the ball to break through, no matter how much, he rushed straight into the Greek team's inside line, and jumped up to meet the defender.

beep!
The whistle blew, giving the Greek team a foul.

Zhao Rui failed to score this goal, but it's not bad to earn a foul. At least it showed a little effect. He walked to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Afterwards, Meng Yun repeatedly broke through and divided the ball. Xiang Long also used his personal ability to attract the defense and create opportunities for his teammates. In addition to Meng Yun and Xiang Long, there were Zhao Rui, Ding Yuhang, and Wang Zelin on the court. They played very decisively. Although the shooting rate was not as good as that of Meng Yun and Xiang Long, they always gained something, at least enriching the team's offense.

The defense of the Greek team should not only focus on Meng Yun and Xiang Long, but also be careful of other players, especially Zhao Rui and Ding Yuhang.

Zhao Rui's characteristics are daring to fight, excellent breakthrough ability, and daring to shoot at critical moments. At this time, he brought these characteristics into full play, hitting the basket of the Greek team again and again. Although his efficiency was average, he was blocked by Antetokounmpo. , but his role should not be underestimated. He disrupted the defense of the Greek team, allowing Meng Yun and Xiang Long to free up their hands. Once the opportunity arises, he will give the Greek team a thunderous blow.

In addition, Ding Yuhang played well. He returned from injury not long ago. He obviously has not found the feeling he once had on the offensive end, but he did a good job on the defensive end. He followed the opponent closely and defended very well. The opponent can defend He, he also defended against the opponent, that's enough.

Of course, the offense mainly relies on Meng Yun and Xiang Long.

Zhao Rui suddenly scored, passed the ball to the outside, and gave it to Ding Yuhang. Ding Yuhang was just about to hit himself when he saw Meng Yun approaching. His heart moved, and he went to meet Meng Yun. The two passed each other , Ding Yuhang passed the ball to Meng Yun hand-in-hand, and at the same time set a screen for him.

Meng Yun shook off the defender, dribbled the ball forward a step, and then grabbed the ball and jumped up to make a three-pointer.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

After the ball was hit, the Chinese team overtook the score and led the Greek team by 2 points. The Greek team quickly called a timeout. The Chinese team's coach Gong nodded in satisfaction and began to replace Xiang Long with Yi Jianlian. , There is not much time left in the second quarter.

Under the arrangement of Director Gong, at least two of Meng Yun, Xiang Long, and Yi Jianlian must be on the court, and the time of the three of them should be flexibly allocated, depending on the game format.

Meng Yun and Xiang Long played longer in today's game. Most of the time, they are on the court at the same time, because the opponent has Brother Antetokounmpo. If Meng Yun and Xiang Long lead the team, at most they can only offset Antetokounmpo, the team is still at a disadvantage.

Only when Meng Yun and Xiang Long are on the field at the same time can the Chinese team suppress Antetokounmpo.

While replacing Xiang Long, Director Gong stopped Yi Jianlian and said, "Our foundation is weak, and the other players are not strong enough. Meng Yun alone can't do it. Now that Xiang Long is down, you have to take Xiang Long's place and carry the burden." The captain should have the responsibility."

"Yeah." Yi Jianlian nodded, he didn't need Director Gong to tell him.

The trump card of the Chinese team is Meng Yun, and Xiang Long is also one of the core players. With the improvement of Xiang Long's strength, the gap between Yi Jianlian and the two has gradually become clear. However, Yi Jianlian is a meritorious player of the Chinese team. A member of the national team, before Meng Yun's rise, the national team relied on him to support him.

So now Yi Jianlian is still the captain of the team, and everyone respects him.

Since you are the captain, you have to take on the responsibility of the captain. Yi Jianlian did not disappoint Director Gong, and took the position of Xiang Long. Later, Brother Antetokounmpo was replaced. Yi Jianlian had less restrictions and performed even better. Director Gong saw it It is also gratifying to replace Meng Yun.

Both Meng Yun and Xiang Long were not on the field. Although the Greek team also replaced Antetokounmpo, they still had an advantage in the lineup. They immediately became excited, thinking that they had a chance.

However, the reality is not the case.

Kostas, a player from the Greek team, rushed to the basket and went to the basket. He wanted to make a dunk, but Yi Jianlian yelled loudly and slapped the basketball fan out of the court.

"Pretty." Meng Yun jumped up and applauded loudly.

The Chinese players on the bench and the Chinese fans in the audience all applauded.

The ball was very powerful and boosted morale. Although there were no Meng Yun and Xiang Long on the court, the Chinese team still played very well. The offensive end was indeed a bit stretched, but the active defense made up for it.

Moreover, the role of easy and concise is not only defensive.

On the offensive end, Yi Jianlian first made a pick-and-roll for his teammates, who passed the ball back to him. The enthusiasm was instantly ignited.

"Captain did a great job."

"Captain is awesome."

Meng Yun and everyone shouted.

Yi Jianlian also showed a smile on his face. As the captain, he must contribute to the team and stand up when he is needed.

Under Yi Jianlian's leadership, despite the absence of Meng Yun and Xiang Long, the Chinese team did not fall behind, and even had a slight advantage.

By the end of halftime, the Chinese team led by 7 points.
