Chapter 661 The Disadvantage of the Chinese Team
"Yi Jianlian's physical confrontation ability is good, and his skills are solid, but his style of play is a bit single. He has the conditions for low-post singles, but he prefers outside jumpers."

"Zhou Qi is tall and has long arms, moves quickly, is good at protecting the frame, and has good rebounding ability, but his body is too thin and he lacks experience. He also doesn't have much low-post offense on the offensive end, and relies more on skills. Relying on his height and arm length to score. And he is not cautious enough to handle the ball and is prone to mistakes."

"Zhou Peng plays steadily and has a certain outside shooting ability, but..."

While observing, Meng Yun also concluded that many things are not exposed in normal training, and can only be clearly seen in competitions.

Through the few minutes of the game, Meng Yun learned more about his teammates, but the more he learned, the more he felt heavy in his heart. The teammates have their own advantages, but their disadvantages are also very obvious.

"Neither Yi Jianlian nor Zhou Qi has a high low-post offensive ability. This is a problem. We still score more points on the outside." Meng Yun frowned secretly, "But in this way, there is no threat from the inside, and the opponent can attack the outside line." The defensive line expanded a lot, which in turn affected our outside shooting percentage."

Meng Yun looked at Gong Luming, and saw that Gong Luming also had a dignified and serious expression.

Meng Yun could see these problems, and so could Gong Luming, but there was no good way to solve them. The best physical fitness in the team was Yi Jianlian, but Yi Jianlian didn't like low-post singles.It was like this in the NBA at the beginning. The habit has been formed, and it is very impossible to change it now.

If you force him to change, it will make him feel uncomfortable and not perform well.

As for other people who are not strong in physical confrontation, Asian players are fine against domestic players, but once they face European and American players with excellent physical fitness, they will not be able to do so.

The weakness of physical confrontation limits their ability to hit the inside. Most players tend to shoot outside. Through continuous passing, pick-and-roll, and passing again, they find opportunities to shoot.

But this kind of efficiency is really not high. The opponent knows that you will choose outside shooting, expand the defense line a lot, change defenses constantly, and form a defensive line along the free throw line. It is difficult for you to find good shots.

Another point is that the Chinese team's shooting is not stable enough.

Fortunately, everyone felt good in the first quarter. By the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team still led by 5 points.

However, the situation changed after entering the second quarter. The Czech team expanded their defense greatly, leaving a large space inside, but the Chinese team still chose to shoot from the outside, and their shooting percentage began to decline under the strict defense of the opponent.

"You have to hit the inside line." Zhao Jiwei had a good view of the situation. He reacted quickly and started to attack the inside line, but he was attacked fiercely by the opponent. As a fake move, Zhao Jiwei is not tall after all, so he got a block when he went up.

The opponent quickly launched a fast break and scored.

This time Zhao Jiwei failed to score, but it was a mistake, but he also reminded the players that they must hit the inside and not just shoot outside.

"ball."

Zhou Qi took the ball, made a fake shot, and then took a big step to break through and rush into the opponent's inside line. The opponent's inside line stepped forward, and the two confronted each other physically.

The opponent seized the opportunity to score another one, still a three-pointer, and immediately overtook the score.

"Timeout." Coach Gong Luming immediately asked for a timeout.

"Zhao Jiwei's idea is correct, but neither he nor Zhou Qi's confrontation ability is a bit weaker, and the success rate of forcibly attacking the opponent's inside line is not high." Meng Yun shook his head secretly, looking at Yi Jianlian and Ding Yanyuhang, both of them Not on, but both of them have the ability to fight hard, and if they are replaced, they should be able to make some changes.

But to his surprise, coach Gong Luming replaced Ding Yanyuhang, but instead of Yi Jianlian, he replaced Wang Zhelin, another insider in the team.

Coach Gong Luming said: "Wait to pull people away and let Wang Zhelin play low singles. In addition, Ding Yanyuhang, you need to make multiple air cuts and breakthroughs, and you and Wang Zhelin combine internally and externally. The main thing is to communicate and cooperate between meetings."

"Yes."

"Understood." The two agreed in unison.

Meng Yun frowned slightly, but just listened.

The timeout ended soon, and the players from both sides returned to the court. According to the arrangement of coach Gong Luming, the others pulled away and the ball was given to Wang Zhelin. Wang Zhelin leaned against the defender and raised the ball, but the opponent remained unmoved.Suddenly, Wang Zhelin slapped the ball to the side, turned around leaning against the opponent, bypassed the opponent, and then hugged the ball for a dunk.

"pretty."

The players of the Chinese team applauded one after another.

Meng Yun couldn't help but praise "good shot", a little surprised, he didn't expect Wang Zhelin to have such skills, and the low-level skills are so delicate, which is really a surprise.

The Czech team was obviously caught off guard, and Wang Zhelin scored a goal in the low post. Although Wang Zhelin's movement speed is slow, he has a certain ability to fight, and his feet are flexible. The defender jumped up and retracted, and scored with a left-handed layup.

"Defend him well, help defend." The Czech coach shouted.

Letting Wang Zhelin score two low-posts in a row, scoring is only second. The key is that the Chinese team will have low-post kills, and the Czech team's defense must shrink.

Once the defense line is shrunk, the Chinese team's outside line will have a chance.

When the ball was given to Wang Zhelin again, the Czech team began to assist in the defense, but the Czech team forgot something, and saw Ding Yanyuhang make a reverse run and cut in. Wang Zhelin understood and gave the ball to the middle. Ding Yanyuhang took the ball and jumped Suddenly, the Czech players were caught off guard and pulled subconsciously.

beep!
Swish!
The whistle blows and the ball goes in.

This was a 2+1. Ding Yanyuhang walked to the free throw line and made an extra free throw. The Chinese team re-established a 5-point lead and gained the upper hand.

"En." Gong Luming nodded.

"It's a surprise, no, I just found out." Meng Yun smiled, but soon frowned, "Wang Zhelin's low-post skills are good, the inside footsteps are very flexible, but the movement speed is slow, and the inside line of the Czech team is still good." No problem, but it will be troublesome when you meet someone like the US team."

Of course, the U.S. team is too strong to be a reference, but even if it is not the U.S. team, some other teams, such as Spain, Canada, Argentina, Australia and other teams, are also very difficult to deal with inside. They have excellent physical fitness and strong confrontation ability , moving quickly, if they meet them, Wang Zhelin may not be very good at it.

Weak physical confrontation ability is the disadvantage of the Chinese team, but Meng Yun has no way to improve it. If it is not because of the "solar storm", he will be the same as others.
