king of defenders

Chapter 681
"Leading by [-] points in a single quarter, it's really cool to watch."

"Nigeria wasn't very strong in the first place."

In the auditorium, the fans are very relaxed, watching the game in a good mood.

If the game continues like this, today's game will be absolutely stable.

The second quarter began soon. The Nigerian team strengthened their defensive strength and physical confrontation, which had an impact on the Chinese team's offense. The shooting rate began to decline, and the point difference gradually narrowed to less than [-].

"Director Gong." Li Nan called.

"No rush." ​​Gong Luming knew what he was worried about, and said calmly: "It's nothing if the point difference is narrowed to less than ten points. We can lead by 13 points in a single quarter, and we can regain the lead. Now Meng Yun, Ah Lian and the others It’s normal for the point difference to be narrowed. That’s what I want to do, and I have to let the substitute players exercise.”

Li Nan was stunned and said no more.

The point difference continued to shrink, and the Chinese team had a substitute lineup. The players seemed to be unable to play all of a sudden.

The fans became restless and became worried. Compared with the first quarter, the performance of the Chinese team was several levels worse, making people speechless.

Gong Luming didn't call a timeout until the point difference was only 3 points.

"Think about how the game was played just now, and reflect on it." Gong Luming dropped a sentence, and said to Meng Yun and Yi Jianlian: "Meng Yun, Ah Lian, you go."

When the timeout ended, Meng Yun and Yi Jianlian returned to the court, and the other three were Wang Zhelin, Zhou Peng, and Zhai Xiaochuan.

After Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, it was a breakthrough. He went into the inside line to face the opponent's inside line and scored the ball. The opponent's inside line stretched his arms, but he couldn't reach the ball. Meng Yun jumped too high.

"nice shot."

The ball relieved the fans and gave the Chinese team a shot in the arm.

Then Meng Yun assisted Yi Jianlian to score a goal, and the Chinese team began to counterattack. Wang Zhelin hit a single from the inside, Zhou Peng made a three-pointer from the outside, and Zhai Xiaochuan received a pass from Meng Yun for a layup, which caused a foul and went to the free throw line two times When Meng Yun and Yi Jianlian came back, the Chinese team became different.

Gong Luming glanced at the scoreboard, signaled for substitutions, and replaced Wang Zhelin, Zhai Xiaochuan, and Zhou Peng successively, and then asked several substitute players: "Have you thought it through, have you reflected on it?"

"Think clearly."

"Reflect on it."

Several people responded.

Gong Luming said: "That's all right, let's talk about it."

Several people spoke up.

In fact, the reason is not complicated. The few players played badly before, and then Meng Yun and Yi Jianlian went up, that is to say, they were replaced. Wang Zhelin, Zhou Peng, and Zhai Xiaochuan were on the court before, but the situation changed immediately.Not only quickly regained the situation and regained the upper hand, but also widened the point difference.

Is it Meng Yun and Yi Jianlian who scored a lot of points?
No, they didn't score many points. Except for the moment when they went up, Meng Yun didn't make many shots behind, and Yi Jianlian didn't have many singles. The reason why they were able to turn the situation around and widen the point difference was because Wang Zhelin, Zhou Peng, The three of Zhai Xiaochuan played better than before, and all three scored.

Then this is obviously not a question of player strength, but a question of mentality. The king in good times and the bronze in adversity are probably like this.

Gong Luming said: "Since we have figured it out, we have to change it. We must forge ahead in good times, and forge ahead in adversity."

Several substitute players were shocked, and they all responded: "Yes."

It is not difficult for the Chinese team to win this game. The most important thing is training. Therefore, Gong Luming made frequent substitutions, giving young players plenty of playing time and opportunities. The score fluctuated a lot, but The Chinese team has always been able to take the lead, because Meng Yun always stood up before the critical moment.

When the first half ended, the Chinese team led by 8 points.

In the second half, the situation was similar. The Nigerian team did not give up. This game was training for the Chinese team, as well as for the Nigerian team. The two sides had a tacit understanding.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Meng Yun hit a three-pointer.

The Nigerian team called a timeout again. In fact, there was no suspense in the game. The gap in strength was there, and the Chinese team was sure to win.

When the third quarter ended, the Nigerian team did not expect to win, and the intensity of the game dropped a lot. Gong Luming replaced Meng Yun and Yi Jianlian, and replaced them with young people to train.

The last quarter was uneventful, and the two sides fought fiercely, but in the end the Chinese team defeated the Nigerian team 87:76 and won the first victory in the Sri Lankan Cup.

In this game, Meng Yun scored 16 points, 9 assists, and 5 rebounds, almost a double-double. Yi Jianlian scored 17 points and 5 rebounds. Ding Yanyuhang, Li Gen, and Wang Zhelin also scored in double figures.

The next day, the Chinese team faced France.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the French team 79:74 and won another victory.

This game was more difficult to win. The game was not decided until the end. Meng Yun dominated the game in the last 2 minutes of the game, hitting two consecutive three-pointers to help the team seal the victory.

There is no doubt that the victory of this game depends on Meng Yun. Meng Yun scored 25 points, plus 8 assists, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals.

But Gong Luming does not object to this kind of dependence. He does not want the team to rely too much on Meng Yun during regular time, but Meng Yun needs to come forward at critical moments. This kind of dependence is not a bad thing.

a day later.

On July 7, the Chinese team ushered in the third game of the round robin against Argentina.

China played very well in this game, especially Yi Jianlian scored 21 points and 8 rebounds, Meng Yun scored 18 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds, Zhou Qi scored 10 points, Wang Zhelin scored 11 points, and others None of the scores were in double figures.

But after the game started, the French team quickly knew that they were wrong.

This game was a championship battle, and it was at his own gate. Meng Yun no longer kept it. He shot with all his strength from the beginning of the game and scored consecutive points. By the end of the half, Meng Yun had already scored 18 points.At the end of the game, Meng Yun scored 31 points, plus 7 assists and 7 rebounds, helping the Chinese team beat the French team 87:79 and win the Sri Lanka Cup.
