Chapter 662 Advantages and Disadvantages

The strength of the Chinese team is indeed stronger than that of the Czech team. Although there are some fluctuations in the middle, they can quickly stabilize the situation. Although there are not many leaders, they always have the upper hand.

The first half ends quickly and the second half begins.

Guo Ailun didn't go up. He sat next to Meng Yun and said with a smile, "So Coach Gong Luming won't let you go up. We can kill the Czech team, right?"

Meng Yun nodded. The strength of the Czech team is not strong, and there is indeed no need for him to make a move.After being on the sidelines for so long, Meng Yun not only observes his teammates, but also observes the Czech team by the way. He already has some understanding of the Czech team. If he is really allowed to go up, he is sure to open the point difference to ten in five minutes. a bit.

But he has no chance, Gong Luming has no such plan.

After entering the second half, the Czech team is still actively chasing points, but the Chinese team has completely gained the upper hand. The point difference is not big, but it has always firmly suppressed the Czech team until the last few minutes.

It is worth mentioning that in the last few minutes, the Chinese team made frequent mistakes and was almost overturned by the opponent, which made Gong Luming very unhappy and his face darkened.Fortunately, Yi Jianlian stood up and made a strong hit first, then caused the opponent to foul, walked to the free throw line and made a steady hit, and then Li Gen also hit a three-pointer, completely killing the game.

At the end of the game, the Chinese team defeated the Czech team 77:69, ushering in a good start for this European training.

The highest scorer in the Chinese team is Yi Jianlian, who scored 19 points and 7 rebounds.

On the second day, the Chinese team faced Turkey and finally defeated Turkey 75:70, winning two consecutive victories.

Then the Chinese team faced Italy.

The game was very torturous, and the Chinese team fell directly to the disadvantage. The opponent obviously analyzed the Chinese team's playing style in the previous two games, and arranged a targeted defensive strategy, focusing on restricting Yi Jianlian.And when Yi Jianlian was restricted, the Chinese team was caught blind. Even Zhou Qi, Guo Ailun, Ding Yanyuhang and others tried to stand up, but the results were not ideal. The scoring was not consistent and lacked explosive power. It was just piecemeal.

It wasn't until the third quarter that the Chinese team recovered the situation with consecutive three-pointers from the bench and closed the point difference. However, the opponent quickly made adjustments and widened the point difference again.

The Chinese team kept catching up in the last quarter, but could not catch up.

"The offense has no continuity, it is difficult to maintain a fierce offensive, and it also lacks a courageous momentum. It is difficult to catch up when the score is behind." Meng Yun sighed secretly.

This is also a disadvantage.

It’s okay when the score is leading, but when the score is behind, the situation will become very bad, and it will even collapse. Facing the score behind, China tried to counterattack, but after being extinguished for the first time, it has never been able to set off the second counterattack.

In the end, the Chinese team lost the game 63:88.

The loss in this game was a bit miserable, throwing back all the points won in the previous two games.

The mood of all the players was a little low. It felt good to win against the Czech Republic and Turkey, and their confidence was inflated, but they didn't expect to lose so badly against Italy.

The whole process was suppressed, and the whole game was hanged and beaten.

Gong Luming's expression was not very good either. He was so far behind in the match against Italy, but he still didn't let Meng Yun go, and handed it over to Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Guo Ailun and others.He has great expectations for the players, but now he feels very disappointed. Can we only play against weak teams and collapse when we meet strong teams?

Just like that, being in the Olympic Games is not the same as delivering food to others.

These three games were all back to back, the players were exhausted physically, Gong Luming didn't say anything, let everyone rest, the next game will be a week later.

He found a few assistant coaches, got together to discuss it, and then found Meng Yun and asked, "Meng Yun, you have been watching for so long on the sidelines, what do you think of these three games?"

Meng Yundao: "These three games exposed a lot of things. We have advantages and disadvantages, but I think there may be more disadvantages."

Gong Luming raised his brows, he and Meng Yun had the same views: "Go on."

Meng Yun said: "First of all, the inside line should be our advantage, but we haven't been able to play it well. Because of the lack of low-post offense, we are still afraid of confrontation and want to shoot from the outside. Secondly, we are not determined enough. We always want to There is no problem with passing more times, but the choice of passing may not be very good. Many times our passing is meaningless, teammates do not have opportunities, and we do not attract defenders. Why do we pass the ball? ?”

"One more thing is mentality."

"Our players always stick to tactics and play completely according to tactics, but the court changes rapidly. After all, tactics are dead, and talents are alive. When there is a chance, we must play resolutely. Why do you care about tactics? Actually, I understand, everyone It’s because they don’t have confidence, and they’re afraid they won’t get in. Everyone’s idea is to fight according to the tactics. If you don’t get in, it’s okay, at least the tactics come out. If you want to fight, you’ll be accused of messing up if you don’t get in. .”

Hearing this, Gong Luming couldn't help nodding: "You're right. Tactics are dead, but people are alive. And there are indeed some problems with the mentality of the players. They dare not take responsibility and are afraid of being criticized. Under this mentality, It's definitely not good to play, especially when the score is behind, it's even worse."

It is right to be conservative when the score is ahead, but what is needed when the score is behind is to be brave and diligent, and sometimes even to give it a go. If you still worry about this and that, how can you do it?
After a pause, Meng Yun said again: "Of course, we also have advantages. Everyone in our team is very active, and their desire for victory is no lower than anyone else. Everyone on the court is very active in defense and fighting. , working hard to win, we are a cohesive team."

Gong Luming sighed: "Yes, we are a cohesive team, but we are not necessarily a combative team. Some things we can't change, but some things can be changed. Li Nan and I made a special training plan together, and we will practice hard during these few days."

"This special training plan needs you. I want you to bring a few people. You have enough strength and excellent basketball IQ. You can completely simulate a strong opponent. Many questions are usually mentioned, but they are forgotten in the game. , or the general opponent is not enough to expose these problems. So I want you to act as an opponent to expose these problems, and then we will try to solve them one by one in actual combat."
