No one has ever seen how shameless a super strong team that dominates the world basketball world can be.
But tonight, everyone's eyes were opened.
As soon as Wang Zelin approaches the three-point line, two Dream Team players will immediately come to double-team him; and once he cuts through the pick-and-roll and reaches the three-point line, three Dream Team members will instantly come from different directions. Implement encirclement and suppression.
At the same time, other players were still keeping an eye on the ball route of the Tianchao team's starting center. Almost the moment the Tianchao team released the ball on the 20th, the Dream Team players were able to quickly switch defenses by relying on their absolute overwhelming physical talent.
At the beginning, other players of the Tianchao team could still seize open opportunities, but as Wang Zelin’s passing route was gradually understood, and the five major deaths of the Dream Team, as the game progressed, the tacit understanding value became higher and higher, and the Tianchao team was better than other players. It's already hard for players to find opportunities.
Even Yi Jianlian missed two seemingly open shots in the second half of the second quarter, but in fact he was under heavy defensive pressure.
At halftime, 55:46, it was the Chinese team's turn to be 9 points behind.
While maintaining a super strong defense, the players of the Dream Team can also rely on their skills and talents to successfully carry out a dimensionality reduction attack on the Chinese team.
Except for Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian, other players were completely helpless.
But even so, Dream Team coach Lao K absorbed the lessons of the first quarter and never dared to lower the pressure on No. 20 of the Tianchao team.
This Oriental center has already proven in the first quarter that he has the ability to play one against five. As a result, China made a stupid choice for the coach and actually put such a powerful guy on the bench. It is known as: giving young people Give people some opportunities.
As everyone knows, this just ruined the Chinese team's only good opportunity to defeat the Dream Team.
Once the Dream Team regains the lead, they can rely on their unparalleled lineup depth to gradually form a snowball effect in the later period, and eventually cannibalize the Chinese team bit by bit.
Entering the second half, Old K changed his tactics again, directly choosing to give up the bottom line and forcefully squeeze the low post.
To be precise, it was squeezing the super center of the Chinese team so that he couldn't even catch the ball.
To defend the perimeter is to constantly switch defenses and make up defenses, relying on the Dream Team's athletic advantages and China's slowness in attacking players to provide strong interference.
Wang Zelin couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness!
The all-star lineup from the starting lineup to the bench on the opposite side is really exaggerated. Any five of Meng Twelve's lineups are capable of winning the World Series.
But now, in order to target himself, Old K actually went out of his way to create the Five Deaths, crazily squeezing the space inside the three-point line, making it difficult for him to receive passes from teammates and play singles with the ball.
In the end, I could only watch as my teammates made mistakes one after another and hit one shot after another.
Against the backcourt combination of Butler + George, Guo Ailun and Ding Yanyuhang were directly stunned. Especially the main point Guo Ailun. Under Butler's strong physical confrontation, he began to get dizzy and was beaten so badly that he simply forgot about it. Pass the ball well to the inside.
No, let alone pass the ball well, it is extremely difficult for him to even dribble past half court. In the third quarter, he was intercepted once by Butler and George.
George + Butler join forces, and the defensive power of this combination is probably second only to the combination of Leonard + George during the Clippers era.
But the problem is that George + Butler are only one line weaker than Leonard + George, and Guo Ailun is not the Burger King in the future...ah, it's East 77!
The East 77 made their debut as the king of Europe. It was a rare debut that reached the peak. Later, they met the Clippers many times in the playoffs. Due to the strength gap between the Mavericks and the Clippers, although East 77 led the team to fall at the feet of the Clippers one after another, the team lost, but he did not lose.
In the playoffs, they even contributed footage of Leonard being the number one perimeter defender in active service. Even if Leonard and George played together, they couldn't stop East 77's offensive ability to block and kill. Buddha.
Compared with East 77, Guo Ailun is just an ordinary player who can't even play in the NBA. His only bright spot may be Wang Zelin's ball control ability, which was rated 80 by the system.
This kind of ball-handling ability is enough against defenders at the same position and above in the NBA, but his current opponent is Butler, who is the best defensive team in the NBA!
There is also George, who is also at the defense level, assisting...
Oh, by the way, the Dream Team also has a superstar Kevin Durant on the wing whose defensive ability is as good as any elite defender as long as he is serious about it.
In the second half of the game, the Tianchao team's outside line was like headless flies. They either kept their heads down and rushed forward, or they were hesitant. Then the dream team saw the passing route, and then...another eye-catching food!
Wang Zelin saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
But sometimes, there's no point in just being anxious, because the difference in strength level is too obvious.
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides reached 57:73.
The Tianchao team was 16 points behind their opponents, and the situation on the court was at stake.
During the timeout between sections, Wang Zelin wanted to replicate it and asked head coach Gong Luming to arrange for other teammates to play and delay.
Don’t forget, this is an international arena, and it’s under FIBA rules. There’s no such thing as a three-second defense here.
Therefore, he can completely use the stance kicking method to maximize his advantages!
But then, the coach of the Dream Team, Old K, let Wang Zelin know what it means to be "full of ideals and skinny in reality!"
It's not impossible to delay the game, but the problem is that the men's basketball team's tactical execution is more than one level behind the Dream Team.
After being used, not only did it not achieve the desired effect, but it was directly passed by the opponent in one step.
The Dream Team was quite smart. After being blocked by Wang Zelin a few times, they immediately changed their style of play and no longer blindly attacked the basket. Instead, they chose to continuously move the ball after attacking continuously, leaving Wang Zelin unable to do anything.
The opponent plays the ball too fast and it is too late to make up defense.
The result was that the rhythm of the game in the final quarter was completely controlled by the Dream Team, and other players on the Tianchao team unexpectedly had physical problems at the last moment...
For the Tianchao team, Wang Zelin was surrounded after scoring 7 points in the final quarter. However, he could no longer maintain a good touch on the outside due to his declining physical fitness, wasting several of his wonderful passes.
In the end, although Wang Zelin scored 44 points in the double team and Yi Jianlian also scored 23 points and 10 rebounds, the Chinese team still lost 77:89.
In the more than a year since Dayao took office, the Tianchao men's basketball team has made remarkable progress, but players' physical fitness and physical confrontation are things that require long-term accumulation to be effective.
After a perfect performance in the first quarter, the men's basketball team was still able to deal with the Dream Team in the second quarter. Unfortunately, in the second half, when the Dream Team coach Lao K found the right defensive strategy and successfully restricted Wang Zelin at a high cost, the Chinese team finally Still able to escape defeat, narrowly losing to the opponent by 12 points.
Yes, the men's basketball team only lost to the Dream Team by 12 points in this unpopular game, which is incredible to many people.
Therefore, after the game, there was no lack of media shouting the slogan "Although it is a defeat, it is still glorious" for this game.
Wang Zelin doesn't think so. If you lose, you lose. If you don't have enough strength, you have to admit it. Why do you have to find so many excuses to comfort yourself.
After the game, he accepted a post-game interview and then returned to the hotel alone, eager to find a way to break the game.
Moreover, it seems that he really found it.
