king of defenders

Chapter 672 The reason
"Shh!"

"beep!"

Goal in, whistle blows.

Corey Joseph turned his head to look at the basket, and sighed helplessly. Unexpectedly, he still failed to defend. This Chinese kid is indeed amazing.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 31:22, and the Chinese team led by 9 points.

From being 8 points behind to leading by 9 points, it took half a quarter, but a lot happened in these few minutes, and Meng Yun's strength was fully revealed.

"Sure enough, it will be different with Meng Yun's strength."

"Meng Yun is too strong, and his scoring ability is beyond the charts. The Canadian team can't defend him at all."

In the auditorium, the fans whispered and talked a lot.

Everyone in the rest area of ​​the Chinese team was very excited and high-fived Meng Yun one by one. If it wasn't for Meng Yun, he would still be beaten now, let alone lead.

"Coach." Meng Yun came to Gong Luming and said with a smile, "Look at how I've been doing for a minute or so. Will you let me continue playing later?"

Gong Luming smiled and said: "Okay, you continue to fight, but you must pay attention to the cooperation with your teammates."

Meng Yun nodded.

In the few minutes just now, it was because the score was behind and the opponent was too arrogant, so Meng Yun relied more on his personal ability to score and counterattack the Canadian team.

But based on the long-term perspective, what is more important is the cooperation with teammates and the cultivation of tacit understanding. This is a warm-up match. What is the purpose of the warm-up match? Isn't it just to practice tactics and cultivate tacit understanding?
The second quarter starts soon.

On the Chinese team are Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian, Zhai Xiaochuan, Guo Ailun, and Meng Yun.

On the Canadian team are TT, Joel Anthony, Ken Poch, Tyler Ennis, and Corey Joseph. Except for the small forward position replaced by Ken Poch, it is almost the starting lineup.

Now that Canada is 9 points behind, Jay Triano is very dissatisfied with this. He asked the team to catch up with the score as soon as possible and overtake, regain control of the initiative, so he sent the main lineup.

It is worth mentioning that Ken Poch is not the main small forward, but the Shabri brothers have all returned to the locker room, and he is the only small forward left in the Canadian team, and he is automatically promoted to the main force.

"The ball." Joel Anthony asked for the ball in the low post. When the ball came to him, he played singles and pushed Yi Jianlian to the inside. However, Yi Jianlian was very physically fit, but he was not so easy to play. The two muscles collided and made a dull sound. , Joel Anthony frowned, feeling not easy, so he had to pass the ball.

A few more passes passed to Tyler Ennis. Ennis singled out Guo Ailun, but was interfered by Guo Ailun and missed the shot.

"It's a pity." Tyler Ennis shook his head secretly, with a heavy heart. The current lineup of the Chinese team is obviously stronger than the starting lineup of the Chinese team at the beginning, and the defensive pressure has also improved to a higher level.

Zhou Qi took the rebound and passed it to Meng Yun.

Guo Ailun plays the No. 2 position in the lineup of the Chinese team, but in fact there is no strict distinction between him and Meng Yun. Gong Luming arranged a "double point guard tactic".This tactic is not the first time the national team has used it, but it used to be Guo Ailun and Zhao Jiwei, but now it has become Guo Ailun and Meng Yun.

Coming to the front court, Meng Yun took a look at the situation on the court. Yi Jianlian was in the low post, Zhou Qi was on the left, Zhai Xiaochuan was on the right, and Guo Ailun was also on the right.Meng Yun made a gesture, and several people started to run. Zhai Xiaochuan and Guo Ailun crossed positions. The Canadian team did a good job of defending and did not lose track. However, as the two moved, the defender was pulled beyond the three-point line , Yi Jianlian got a good space in the low post, and Meng Yun passed the ball.

It's a pity that Yi Jianlian is still a little unaccustomed to this offensive method, and Joel Anthony's defense is very good, so the goal was not scored.

Although he didn't score, Gong Luming still nodded secretly: "Meng Yun has a high basketball IQ. Although he doesn't have a tacit understanding with his teammates, he has a strong view of the overall situation and knows how to play. He should give the ball to him." In whose hands."

A few minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

Meng Yun only took one shot in the past few minutes, and spent the rest of the time organizing the offense. Guo Ailun turned into a scorer instead. He and Meng Yun are both very fast, and the cooperation between the two is very good.

In addition, Zhai Xiaochuan scored a three-pointer, and Yi Jianlian also found the feeling after the initial discomfort. He played well in the low post, but it is a pity that the offensive method still relies on jump shots and lacks post-up singles.But this is understandable, after all, Joel Anthony's defense is very good, his physical fitness is excellent, and it is not so easy for Yi Jianlian to play him with his back.

However, Zhou Qi is a little unsatisfactory. TT is not an offensive insider, but facing Zhou Qi, he scored three goals in a few minutes and scored 7 points, one of which was 2+1.

On the other hand, Zhou Qi failed to defend against TT on the defensive end, and did not make any achievements on the offensive end. There was almost no inside offense. They all relied on outside shots, but none of them scored.

Originally, when Zhai Xiaochuan, Guo Ailun, and Yi Jianlian all performed well, the Chinese team should have the upper hand, but because Zhou Qi was completely suppressed by TT, the Canadian team had the upper hand.

After a few minutes, the Canadian team narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

"beep"

Gong Lu yelled a timeout, and the personnel were rotated. Meng Yun and Zhou Qi were replaced.

In the next few minutes, the Chinese team was still at a disadvantage. The point difference was narrowed a little bit, and then overtook. By the end of the first half, the Chinese team had changed from leading by 9 points to trailing by 3 points.

"Very good, that's how it is played." Jay Triano smiled and was very satisfied with the performance of the players in this quarter. From being behind by 9 points to leading by three points, it was equivalent to leading the Chinese team by 12 points in a single quarter.He praised the players a few words, and then encouraged: "We will continue this performance in the second half, continue to suppress the Chinese team, and we will win them openly."

"Yes." The Canadian players agreed in unison.

The Chinese team here.

Gong Luming called to stop Zhou Qi, without saving Zhou Qi's face, he just scolded him. Fortunately, Zhou Qi was only 20 years old, unlike some old players who dared to show their teeth to the coach, he just lowered his head and listened.

After reprimanding Zhou Qi, Gong Luming spread out the tactical board and began to analyze the problem: "We exposed some problems in the second quarter, let me talk about it now."

This time, everyone who played just now has been trained, and Meng Yun is no exception.

Everyone has some problems more or less, made some mistakes, it’s okay to make mistakes, this is a warm-up match, it’s a place to make mistakes and correct mistakes, otherwise what’s the warm-up match for?
"Think about it yourself." After Gong Luming said that the intermission was over and the second half was about to begin, "Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Li Gen, Meng Yun, you guys go."

The flute sounded, and the second half began.

Players from both sides came to the field, TT did not return to his own half, but walked towards Meng Yun and said: "Meng, I apologize to you for what Thomas Sabri did, I guarantee we didn't know he would do this Do. There is also Philip Saberui, he is actually angry with your Chinese team because he is not happy with Xiang Long.”
