Dayao played all the games in the final of the Asian Championships last year, and the team at that time still relied heavily on him.A year later, earth-shaking changes have taken place.
The biggest change is the tactical system that everyone can feel comfortable with.
Gao Fei stood in the backcourt, looked at Parker who was dribbling over, lowered his center of gravity, and noticed the defender behind him from the corner of his eye.
The head coach of the French team hopes that the players can solve the game through one wave, but his intuition tells him that the Chinese team is not so easy to deal with.
Facing Wang Shipeng's defense, Pietrus made a breakthrough from the right, afraid of the crowded penalty area, and chose a mid-range jumper!
clang!
Dayao pulled the ball out from above the basket and it fell into Gao Fei's hands.
If it is in the NBA, Goofy tends to push and counter quickly.The lineup is different, and the strategy changes accordingly.Press the time to pass halftime, and play steadily.
Dayao played only 10 minutes in the first half, and he had plenty of energy, so he needed a position in the penalty area in the first round.
Goofy passes the ball in.
"It's a waste to not score with such a comfortable pass." Dayao had the best understanding with Liu Wei before, and he felt more comfortable with Gao Fei.
He doesn't know the role of the system in it, he only knows the real feeling, turning over and leaning back, he can't afford to jump and shoot!
Weiss stretched his arms and tried to block the shot, but it was like facing a skyscraper, and he failed after all.
"Wes has always used his height to suppress his opponents, but suddenly he fell into a disadvantage in height, and I guess he was in a trance." Yu Jia didn't expect the men's basketball team to compete with the French team to such a degree, and he felt relaxed.
Director Zhang said with a smile: "At his height, Dayao is the best center forward in the world."
Dayao's show time came, and after having a top point guard partner, his threat began to show.
With a sideways hook and a turnaround jumper, the soft touch was perfectly displayed, and he played a personal attack wave that scored 8 points in a row.
The coach of the French team had expectations and knew that Weiss would not be able to deal with Yao, but he thought he would lead by a big score.After this wave, they fell behind the Chinese men's basketball team by six points.
In the FIBA arena, not only double-digit points are a threat.
"France request a timeout," the stadium announcer said in English, so fans around the world could understand.
"Wow! The Chinese team is playing against the French team?" Some of the fans watching the game were French. They held the French flag and felt quite incredible.
Whether it is the preview of the event or the predictions of various experts, it is believed that the Chinese team is not France's opponent.
"It seems that we underestimated the improvement that the height brought to the team." ESPN ace commentator Mike Breen explained the game.They paid more attention to Gao Fei and gave him superstar treatment.
American fans like Gao Fei and Dayao very much, and the ratings of this game are not low.They subconsciously felt that the Chinese team was an underdog, and they thought they would see Gao Fei and Dayao struggling to carry the team forward, but they didn't expect that playing against France would be easy and enjoyable, and ten-man rotations could establish an advantage.
"That's the power of a top point guard," Bryant exclaimed. "Gao is a natural team player."
Wade still remembers the scene of being brutalized in the last game of the finals. In that game, the Lakers played very well.Easily and happily crushing the Heat.
"If Gao is a coach, he will be at the top." Wade has to admit that he has never encountered such a strong player in his playing career.
At the end of the third quarter, the French team relied on a wave of attacks from Pietrus to catch up to only two points.
Jonas did not make major adjustments and let the substitute lineup continue to play.
The only change is to put Goofy back on the field.The point guard is a position that requires more brains. It consumes less energy than other positions and can always stay on the court.But even after playing the fourth quarter, Gao Fei only played 25 minutes.
"Playing well." This is Director Zhang's comment.
In the past World Championships, the men's basketball team fought hard for the qualifying places.Every game is like a life-and-death battle, full of passion.
One of the most obvious differences in this tournament is that they played more calmly.The tasks undertaken by each team member are not too different, only the core players occasionally change the defense in singles.The process of singles is very short, and the longer duration is teamwork.
Gao Fei returned to the court and served as the main controller, partnering with Sun Yue, Li Nan, Ah Lian and Daba.
"Daba and Gao Fei are teammates of the BJ team." Yu Jia said, "There is a natural tacit understanding between them, and the effect may be good."
The bus raised to a high position and blocked Dio firmly.
Turiaf still stayed on the field, misplaced to defend Goofy, and looked a bit frizzy when there was too much difference in moving speed.
Gao Fei saw the opportunity, passed the ball with his left hand, passed the defense of the French team, and found the bus without the ball.
The French team lacked internal reserves and couldn't stop the assault, so they could only foul.
As soon as Gao Fei returned to the court, he immediately stabilized his rhythm.
Yunus imitated the appearance of a Zen master, sitting on the sidelines, watching the situation on the court in a daze.
Gao Fei was so outstanding that the pressure on the coaching staff dropped sharply.Sitting on the sidelines is like being on vacation.
"Is this what it's like to have a top point guard?" Yonas thought to himself, "This is so cool."
Parker was forced to return early, trying to stabilize the situation.
"Tony, how does it feel to be the one being suppressed?" Gao Fei said this with confidence.Whether in the national team or the Lakers, he has played suppression.
The French fans have a feeling that it seems that there is not much difference in points, but they are always firmly held.Every time an opponent tried to fight back, a light punch knocked them down.
The situation of the French team was suppressed, and what they did well was that they were not opened up.
3 minutes left in the game!
Chinese team 72-68 French team!
Fans who are busy with domestic affairs turned on the live broadcast at the end of the game, thinking that they had read the wrong direction of the scoreboard.
"Hey, what's going on? Is the men's basketball team so strong?"
Da Zhi mentioned the high position, took the ball at the free throw line, and calmly organized the offense.
He didn't do this very often before, and only after he partnered with Gao Fei did he add these to his skill pack.
Turiaf is a black player with relatively good physical fitness. After playing for 35 minutes, there is still no major crisis.But where his height is, it really can't limit Da Zhi.
Gao Fei used the cover twice, faced Parker in a dislocation, and attacked by name.
Parker is a point guard, and there is a gap between him and Goofy, who is nearly two meters tall.Usually Gao Fei would use his strength to make up for it, but he didn't have this ability.
Gao Fei catches the ball and takes off, ignores the defense, and shoots easily.
Parker stretches out his right hand, as if a statue, reluctantly becoming part of the artist's work.
"There are too few domestic players who shoot so steadily." Yu Jia praised, "If the guards all have such a good basket, the overall strength can be raised to another level."
"Hu Weidong used to practice shooting until he couldn't hold his chopsticks. Nowadays, players earn a lot of money, and no one is willing to work so hard." Director Zhang is a player of the old era, and he appreciates the fighting spirit of that era.
There is also progress in this era, that is, the mind is more flexible and no longer sticks to rigid tactical routines.The best manifestation is the high flying of the mind.
74-68!
2 minutes and 51 seconds!
Seeing Gao Fei's confident and calm face, Mike Breen felt that this time period belonged to him: "The French team is in a difficult situation. Gao has played too many critical moments in the NBA, and his mentality is too calm. Their hope of a comeback is not without hope, but Very slim."
Parker faced the Goofy defense and felt the pressure despite not having any physical contact.
Gao Fei is from a blue-collar background and has studied defense with his mind.His skills are unparalleled, so he can get the best defensive player in the NBA.
As long as he is on the court, the opponent's outside offensive arrows will be very uncomfortable.
Parker was unable to break through, and the threat was discounted, so he could only pass it to the Boris Dior organization.
Gao Fei blocked Parker, did not take risks to help defend, and believed in his teammates.
In his mind, confidence is an essential part of the game.Self-confidence can be built as long as you always believe in it.
This is the impact of Zen Master's trust on him when he entered the NBA.If the head coach didn't trust his ability, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Sun Yue replaces Wang Shipeng, otherwise defends Pietrus.He's a very young player, he's taking on a lot of responsibility, and he's not intimidated at all.
As the top defender in the country, he has shown tenacity.Using the height advantage to cover Pietrus, he predicted that the opponent wanted to play hard, reacted in advance, and blocked the ball in the air.
Block Shot!
Gao Fei quickly pounced on the ball, protected the ball, and passed it to Zhu Fangyu on the right.
He played the ball too fast and did not give the French team a chance to compete for the ball.
"Back to defense! Back to defense!" The head coach of the French team saw sweat on his forehead, waving his right hand, and commanded the players to retreat.
Gao Fei didn't fight back at all, he pushed the rhythm slowly, and fought steadily.He is not an impulsive defender who wants to end the game quickly, plays steadily and does not give the opponent any chance.
The main reason is that the World Championship is too important, and there is no room for manipulation to ensure the qualifying places.
Dayao received the ball in the low post, and when everyone thought he would play in the low post, he passed it to Sun Yue in the high post.
The defense of the French team was involved by Gao Fei, gave up Sun Yue, and sent an open position at the critical moment.
"Shoot!" Gao Fei yelled at Sun Yue.
Sun Yue made a left-handed shot with hope of winning.
All the players on the bench of the Chinese team stood up and paid close attention to the basketball flying in the air. The moment they hit the net, they seemed to have won the championship.The whole body boiled, and the towels were waving dazzlingly.
77-68!
"Sun Yue has done a great job! One attack and one defense have basically established the victory!" Yu Jia felt that the situation was stable, and roared to explain.
The audience and fans in front of the TV did not feel embarrassed.They thought it was enough to play hard in this game, and they didn't expect to crush the French team at all.
When it did happen, it was still very exciting.
Parker is like facing an impassable mountain.If this is the Spanish team, they will feel normal, but facing the Chinese team like this is still a bit unacceptable.
beep!
When the final whistle sounded, the Chinese men's basketball players rushed onto the court and embraced to celebrate.Before this game, no one was optimistic that they could win, but they finally proved their worth.
Chinese team 82-74 French team!
高飞拿到12分3篮板4助攻；大姚17分7篮板；大郅9分5助攻。
Parker 13 points; Pietrus got 20 points.
In the past, some fans thought that Gao Fei had to embrace his thighs in order to succeed in the NBA.After this game, many people understood his role.
The lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team has basically remained unchanged, and the core position of Gao Fei has been strengthened, and it has immediately undergone a transformation.
Gao Fei was the first to calm down, finished the celebration, and said, "After thanking the fans, let's go back to the hotel. There's still a match against Slovenia tomorrow afternoon. Rest and adjust as soon as possible, and try to win this match."
If you can achieve an opening record of two wins and zero losses, you will basically be able to secure a qualifying spot.After all, there is Senegal in the group who is giving points, so he can win no matter what. If he wins three games, he will definitely qualify.
The goal of the head coach of the French team is to enter the quarter-finals. After losing the first game, he can only forget the pain of defeat as soon as possible.They have to make adjustments and prepare to take Senegal under the knife.
People and ghosts are all on show, only Senegal is being beaten.
The players returned to the bus feeling more relaxed than ever.A good start can bring a psychological advantage, relatively speaking, the pressure is relatively low, and it is good for rest and physical recovery.
Gao Fei had already put the game behind him, communicated with the video analyst, and asked him to give him the video of the U.S. men's basketball game against the Slovenian men's basketball team.
In addition to judging the characteristics of players in each position of the opponent, video analysis can also study the main tactics and target them accordingly.In any case, the higher the group stage, the better the advantage. His goal is to win as many games as possible.
Because the tactical reserve is too deep, Gao Fei is not worried about being studied by the opponent.Even if they have studied it thoroughly, they can come up with a change immediately, so don't worry at all.
Dayao had never fought such an easy battle. Back at the hotel, Guan Guo Shiqiang asked for a technical statistics sheet.The first thing he looks at is playing time.
As the main point guard, Gao Fei is the player with the most playing time, but only 27 minutes and 36 seconds.This is obviously a rare phenomenon for the Chinese team, which has always relied on the core.
"Is this what team basketball is like? It's amazing." At first, Dayao was worried about the schedule of five games in six days, but after the first victory, it completely dissipated.
The team has two core-level players in the NBA, and their strength has indeed improved.But what really improved the team was the tactical system.
Not long after Sun Yue joined the national team, he was able to make contributions on both offense and defense.Sitting in a hotel room, thinking about blocking Pietrus and making clutch [-]s.
It is a great honor for a basketball player to be selected into the national team. At first, he thought that Gao Fei would take care of everything, and there might not be many opportunities for defenders.He never expected that not only would there be plenty of opportunities, but also his shining moment.
He suddenly remembered Gao Fei's classic words - everyone can be a hero.
"This World Championships, I may also have to shine." Sun Yue couldn't help feeling excited when he thought of this.
Didi!
When the text message sounded, Sun Yue walked to the table, picked up the phone, and found that it was a text message from Gao Fei.
"Don't miss the opening game, calm down and prepare for the second game."
Sun Yue knew that Gao Fei had the habit of sending text messages in groups.He believed that all his teammates had received such a text message. He stroked his hair with his left hand, no longer thinking about the French team, but focusing on Slovenia.
After the second group stage game, there will be a day off, followed by three consecutive days of competition.It is more brutal than the first stage, and the physical energy consumption will be greater.
Gao Fei was sitting in the room, watching the video of the Slovenian game through his laptop.
"Their strength is not very strong." Gao Fei thought to himself, "It's better to fight your own things, and use ten people to take turns to fight."
The schedule is too intensive, and the team training is canceled, so we can only rely on the tactical drills during the training period.
Gao Fei took a hot bath and lay down on the bed to rest.
The players of the national team are all in this state, rest comfortably, try to let go of their minds, and welcome the next game with a fuller state.
Due to jet lag, Gao Fei didn't go to bed very late. After Taylor got up, he made an ocean call.
"Are you ready for the second game?" Taylor took the time to watch the match between China and France.Impressed by their performance, I feel that I have a chance to take the second place in the group.
"Ready. Same thing, team basketball against Slovenia."
"Did you cast magic on the national team? I have watched the video of your previous games, and you didn't play as a whole, nor did you have that sense of oppression."
"It did work magic, bringing back the strongest team basketball in basketball." Gao Fei said with a smile.
When preparing for the game, he will be very focused.But when there is no competition, you can still coordinate the balance between relaxation and tension.
Basketball players are also human beings, and it is impossible to be in basketball state every minute and every second.In that case, life will seem very boring, but it will deepen the fatigue.
A combination of work and rest will have better results.
After Gao Fei finished talking with Taylor, he put his phone by the table and fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, Gao Fei called the players together and continued to explain some tactical issues to them.
Guo Shiqiang is an excellent local coach with insufficient tactical reserves and insufficient experience.Listening to Gao Fei talk about tactics with the players, the scene is very funny.
"There are still things worth learning about the tactics of the NBA." Guo Shiqiang is very optimistic, and will seize the opportunity to learn as long as he can.He is not old and stubborn, and he does not stick to his coaching status.
Gao Fei focused on the role of screens in the offensive system, creating dislocations and controlling open opportunities.The difference in the player's vision, and the change in the overall coordination.
Although they are all conventional things, there are still some slight differences in the understanding of top point guards.Many points that are usually considered not opportunities can be conjured up in Gao Fei's understanding.
Guo Shiqiang learned a lot, plus what he learned during the training camp, you feel that this trip to the World Championship has been very rewarding.
In fact, Gao Fei showed this quality last year, but he was just a newcomer at that time, and no one wanted to listen to these things.This year, he transformed into an NBA championship player, and immediately became a favorite.
After a brief meeting in the morning, the players continued to disperse and rest, and only got together one hour before the start of the game, and took the bus to the competition venue.
After a good start in the group stage, the sports channel was more confident in the results of the men's basketball team, and sent Yang Jian and Xu to guide and explain.
"In about half an hour, the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Slovenian men's basketball team will begin." Yang Jian started the commentary.
Director Xu continued: "Before the start of this group match, I was generally worried about the physical fitness of the players. But now we are playing in a ten-man rotation, and each player's playing time is average, so it's relatively not that difficult."
Yang Jian agreed: "Yes. When the warm-up match was against Spain, I thought the ten-man rotation was just an adjustment to the test lineup. I didn't expect it to be brought directly to the group stage. This rotation method will reduce the burden on the players."
"There is a statistic. The player who played the longest in the last game was Gao Fei, and he only played for less than 28 minutes. Although the international arena only has 40 minutes of playing time, this kind of playing time is still very reasonable." Director Xu started from the data.
Yang Jian heard the director's voice in the earphones until the sideline interview was ready, and said: "The reporters ahead are ready, let's hear Gao Fei's opinion on the first game."
Gao Fei stood next to the reporter of the sports channel, facing the camera, and accepted an impromptu interview before the game.
"Two games in a row were played against strong European teams. Did you feel any extra pressure?" The female reporter began to ask questions.
Gao Fei remained calm, and replied in airtight words: "The opponent is really strong, and we have made a lot of preparations. We will fight with the fullest mental state, and hope to win the game."
"The head coach of the Slovenian men's basketball team believes that the Chinese team has the level of the semi-finals. What do you think of this?"
"I didn't watch the news, and I didn't pay attention to what he said. Thank you for his praise. We still have a long way to go, and we are not that strong yet." Say it in the interview.That creates extra stress and can be self-defeating.
The reporter asked a few more questions, thanked Gao Fei for accepting the interview, and then the camera cut back to the studio.
Yang Jian said: "Gao Fei's answer is still relatively conservative. Fans who know his style should know that what he likes most is to focus on the present, and he is unwilling to think about things that are too far away."
Director Xu said: "This is more detailed, and there will be no mistakes."
The two commentators began to analyze Slovenia's strength and help fans understand this European team.
10 minutes before the game, the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the camera.
Chinese team: Gao Fei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Big Zhi, Dayao!
Slovenia: Dragic, Beno Udri, Jurak (203CM), Blaizek (213CM), Nesterovic (214CM)!
"In order to deal with the Mingzhi combination of the men's basketball team, Slovenia also sent the Twin Towers. The rhythm of this game will be suppressed, and the score will not be too high." Director Xu saw the starting lineups of both sides, until the rhythm will be reduced, and the number of rounds will be reduced. A decrease will correspondingly decrease the overall score.
The Chinese team wore a white jersey with a red back number in this game, which looked slightly different from the first game.
Gao Fei clapped hands with his opponent, then stood in the backcourt.Still in accordance with the usual habits, enter the game state.
Dayao and Nesterovic stood on both sides of the center circle, watching the referee approach with the game ball in his hand.
The US men's basketball team had previously abused the underdog Senegal.They will also rest tomorrow, and several players will stay in the arena to watch the match between China and Slovenia.
James, Wade, and Anthony are players of the same class. They haven't had a three-year rookie period yet, and their status in the US team is not particularly high.But Kobe trusted them more and was willing to share the ball with them when they played together.
The three sat on the sidelines, feeling weaker on both sides.
Kobe didn't think so at all.He knew Goofy was like a magician with Pandora's box, always able to pull out something new.At least until he runs out of cards, you don't know how much potential he still has.
Slovenia gets the ball in the first leg.
Youdri controlled the ball across the half court, commanded his teammates to move, and played tactics steadily.
Both sides want to fight positional warfare, and no one pushes the rhythm, so the round will be played more calmly.
Tactical coordination is easier to execute when playing steadily.
Dragic lobbed the ball to Nesterovic, had no chance, made a pivot in the low post, and gave it to Jurak who ran out of space.
Mid-range jumper!
Swish!
Chinese team 0-2 Slovenia!
There were fans holding the Slovenian flag on the sidelines, waving and celebrating, cheering for the home team.
The number of domestic fans is much larger, watching the field nervously, expecting the men's basketball team to score the first goal.
Gao Fei scored the ball on the right side, and Zhu Fangyu responded with a shot!
clang!
Feeling is not online yet!
Nesterovic protected the rebound, passed it to Udri, and ran to the frontcourt at a slow speed.
Slovenia's interior depth is not as deep as that of the men's basketball team. Try to save the energy of the twin towers and attack by Jurak.
Zhu Fangyu has always defended foreign aid, showing his skills, and has never lost his position.However, in the face of Jurak's strong shot, he still couldn't block the block head-on.
The basketball flipped into the net to help Slovenia establish an advantage!
0-4!
Gao Fei receives the serve from the backcourt and observes the defensive formation at the top of the arc.It can be seen that Slovenia has made targeted defensive adjustments for several tactics.
Seeing Gao Fei's left hand gesture, Dazhi mentioned the high position, pulled out Slovenian power forward Blaizek, and continued to organize the attack with the ball.
The high-flying movement, like a yacht across the water, immediately changed the Slovenian defensive formation.
The Slovenian coach stood on the sidelines, feeling similar to the French coach.He can't guess what Gao Fei will do next, he can only imagine that he will catch the ball and attack, and let the players strictly prevent him from catching the ball.
With Zhu Fangyu's cover, Wang Shipeng ran to the corner and received a pass back from Da Zhi.
The traditional triangle offense can suppress the ability of three-point shooters.What's more, three-pointers will not be allowed.
Gao Fei brought this tactic over, kept the essence, and added his own understanding.Three-pointers are also taken into consideration, allowing the starting shooting guard to take advantage.
"Wang Shipeng made a shot!" Yang Jian slightly increased the volume to allow the audience to get into the mood, "The goal is scored! Wang Shipeng opened up the situation for the Chinese team!"
Director Xu said: "The two perimeter players of the Guangdong team are good. When the starting lineup first came out, the fans were worried that Zhu Fangyu would not be able to replace Li Nan. The performances of the two of them in these few games have fully proved their strength."
Li Nan is the perimeter player with the strongest three-point ability in the national team, and he fits better with Dayao.The reason why he was sent to the bench is to strengthen the offensive threat of the second team and make it more balanced so that they can play multiplayer rotations.
Udrih dribbled the ball slowly and thought to himself: "The Chinese team has become difficult to deal with. They have the core of two NBA teams. They have to defend and others can stand up. Trying to block their performance, it is true. difficult."
Dragic received the pass, changed direction in front of his body, and tested Wang Shipeng's defense.
Wang Shipeng was constrained by his physical talent, and his defense was not as strong as his offense. Dragic found a gap.
The European defender's shots are very accurate, he pulls up decisively, and takes a mid-range jumper!
clang!
Dayao reacted quickly. He flicked the ball with his left hand and slapped it to the players in white jerseys in his field of vision.
Zhu Fangyu got the rebound, handed it to Gao Fei, and ran forward without the ball.
The execution ability of the players is strong, so that the tactics can run smoothly.
Gao Fei received the ball and went down, attracting Nesterovic to defend, hit the ground and pass the ball in a small range, and distributed it to Dayao in the penalty area.
"To refresh you!" Dayao grabbed the ball with his right hand, held his breath, and smashed the ball into the basket vigorously!
5-4!
After two rounds, Slovenia's advantage was gone.
The Slovenian coach touched his forehead, feeling helpless, and continued to watch the offensive end.
Jurak shot for the third time and once again helped Slovenia score.
"It's not an option to continue playing like this." The Slovenian head coach knows that the Chinese men's basketball team has a deep bench, especially the inside rotation, which poses a strong threat.
He couldn't find a coping strategy in a short time, and only emphasized the resolute defense of the zone during the first intermission.The offensive end was barely mentioned.
It is difficult for the players to play as many tactics as the Chinese team, and many of the ball transmission goals are not as strong as their opponents.If you can't break the defense of the men's basketball team, you still have to rely on your personal ability to open the situation.
This situation has not improved much in the rotation stage.
It is true that Gao Fei will rest during the transition period, but the tactical system of the second team is also constructed by him, and the overall coordination is much better than that of the opponent.He will give reminders from time to time so that the players can play their due effect.
At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team leads 15-12!
"This game is too boring." Anthony prefers to watch the offensive and defensive battles of open and close, and he feels a little boring when he sinks down to play positions.
Kobe said: "Melo, you'd better watch carefully. When we play against the Chinese team the day after tomorrow, we will definitely be forced into this rhythm, and then we will not be able to attack and defend quickly."
"Is he that strong?" Anthony only encountered Goofy in the regular season, and was caught by the defense at that time. I don't know how good he is at suppressing the rhythm.
Kobe said: "He should be the number one point guard in the world. If you can understand what I mean, you will know what level his strength is."
James and Wade didn't expect Kobe to give Gao Fei such a high evaluation. Looking at the court again, they felt that Gao Fei, who was calm and commanding, had changed his image.
In any case, Anthony still finds the tempo game a bit dull.It wasn't until the end of the game that this feeling gradually dissipated.
Udrih hit a three-pointer off the screen to bring the game back to the same starting line.
65-65!
2 minutes and 15 seconds left!
When Dayao served from the bottom line, the timer did not stop.This is where FIBA is different. It will not leave too much time for the lagging side. Relatively speaking, the probability of creating a miracle comeback is lower.
Gao Fei received the serve and pointed his left index finger upwards.This gesture does not have any tactical meaning, it is just to scare the opponent and tell teammates to fight steadily.
The Slovenian Twin Towers are very resolute in blocking Dayao and Dazhi, and it is very difficult to attack in low positions.
Gao Fei observed Wang Shipeng's position, bent over to dribble at the top of the arc, and predicted his running route.
Udri is 195cm tall and can match up with Gao Fei, but facing a dribble with a strange rhythm, it is easy to be pushed to the free throw line by switching between fast and slow rhythms.
Slovenian players are very afraid of Gao Fei's strength and are unconsciously involved.Even though Gao Fei didn't make a move the first few times, they still didn't get rid of this fatal habit.
Wang Shipeng saw the basketball flying out of Gao Fei's hands, knew it was coming for him, ran to the horns, and received a just-right pass.
Unmarked beyond the three-point line!
"Slovenia's defensive rotation made a mistake, and Wang Shipeng was given an open space. He made a three-pointer! Got it!" Yang Jian's excitement was even worse than when he opened the game at the beginning.
Director Xu was also very excited, and only said two words: "Good shot!"
68-65!
1 minutes and 59 seconds!
While the basketball bounced off the court, the timer kept ticking.
The head coach of Slovenia was a little confused, and when he called a timeout, he found that the time had passed by a few seconds.
"Udry, Jurak, you two are looking for opportunities to use cover." The Slovenian coach arranged tactics, "Nesterovic and Blaizek, you mentioned a high position, and help them cover."
Gao Fei seems to have a perspective, guessing that the opponent will most likely use a three-point cover tactic.
"Sun Yue, I'm standing between Dragic and Jurak. You go to help defend Udrih." Gao Fei communicated with Sun Yue who was sent to play the defensive round.
Sun Yue nodded in response, staring at Dragic.But his attention was on Udrih.
Jurak didn't know there was a trap, so according to the idea, he pulled Gao Fei's defense to the strong side.
Udri thought that there would be no threat to the defense, so he caught the ball and jumped, and saw Sun Yue who was coming from the defense in the air.
"Oops!" His take-off height was not enough, and he was about to be blocked, so he hurriedly passed back to Dragic.
Zhu Fangyu took turns to defend, covering Dragic to prevent the opponent from scoring.
Slovenia's offense was cracked and needed to be handed over to the point guard to reorganize.But Dragic was still a little young, not stable enough, and didn't handle the ball well in a hurry.
Gao Fei broke the ball out of bounds, leaving only a few seconds for Slovenia to attack.
Sun Yue was sent to defend at critical moments in two consecutive games, and his confidence increased greatly, which interfered with Udri's receiving the ball.
Udrih made a lot of effort and didn't make a mistake, but seeing the timer, he rushed to shoot.
The 24-second shot clock ran out before the basketball left the palm of his hand.
Dayao stuck in position and scored key rebounds.
Nesterovic wanted to fight back and tried hard for two seconds, but he had no choice but to give up.
"We are going to lose to the Chinese men's basketball team!" Nesterovic was still surprised when he thought of this possibility while retreating.
Gao Fei suppressed the rhythm and pushed through the half court slowly.
"How do you think he will attack this round?" Kobe asked the three teammates around him.
"He will pass to Yao, or other open teammates." James usually does this, and it feels like Gao Fei will make this choice.
Anthony and Wade met Gao Fei quite a few times, and they almost said in unison: "He will do this kind of anxious scene by himself."
Udri was fully focused, seeing Gao Fei's shoulders tilted to the left, he reacted subconsciously, trying to chase the left side.
Gao Fei confidently changed direction forward, pulled the ball to his right hand, and broke through from the right.
Zhu Lak rushed to help defend, but was a step too late. When he stretched out his hand, Gao Fei had already reached the highest point.
At this moment, Gao Fei is like a god flying in the sky!
Mid-range jumper!
Hollow into the network!
70-65!
1 minutes and 08 seconds!
"We guessed right." James and Wade looked at Kobe with a smile, "What's the reward?"
Kobe asked: "The game against the Chinese team the day after tomorrow, which one of you will defend him?"
"This..." Anthony's defense was not very good, and he basically couldn't handle it.
Wade wins in the defense and is good at stealing.But those are all bullying defenders who are not as strong as him. Facing Gao Fei who is proficient in dribbling, it is not so easy to steal.
"Just kidding," Kobe responded with a smile, "I'll be high. It's hard to handle, you guys hold on to the offensive end."
"When it comes to offense, we're not sleepy."
The timeout ends and players from both sides return to the court.
As the point difference widened to 5 points, Slovenia could only try outside shots.
Jonas arranged to expand the defense, preferring to make a breakthrough instead of a three-point shot.
Udrih's three-point shot was too reluctant and hit the iron.
"The basket is going to be knocked crooked." Anthony couldn't help complaining.
Dayao protected the rebound and was fouled to the free throw line.With two free throws, the game lost its suspense.
Chinese team 72-68 Slovenia!
Two consecutive victories in the group stage!
Gao Fei still has no luxurious statistics, scoring 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.This stems from the fact that the ball is not in the hands most of the time, taking on the task of not having the ball involved.
"The Chinese team is a bit strong." Kobe said, "Take a good rest tomorrow and face a strong opponent the day after tomorrow."
Anthony still doesn't feel that the team that can only score 70 points in the whole game is too much of a threat, but he still listens to his elder brother and prepares to watch the video.
Gao Fei stayed on the sidelines and was interviewed again.
"After two games, the men's basketball team has accumulated two victories. It is basically stable to get the right to qualify. Will the game against the US men's basketball team the day after tomorrow afternoon be much less stressful?"
"Want to win..." Gao Fei realized that it was not a good idea to say that he wanted to compete for the championship. The U.S. team also wants to break arms with them."
"Do you think you have a chance of winning?"
"Any game has the possibility of winning. Especially this kind of single-game competition system provides conditions for an upset." Gao Fei said, "Although the chance is not great, it is not completely impossible."
"I hope I can perform well the day after tomorrow. Thank you for accepting the interview." The reporter ended the interview process politely.
Gao Fei went back to the locker room, had no time to change, and went back to the hotel with his teammates.
Two consecutive games have a greater impact on veterans.
The bus pulled out the cupping to reduce the pain in the shoulder.
"A Fei, how sure are you against the US team?"
"It's almost impossible to win. But it depends on human effort, we still have a certain chance." Gao Fei is not used to talking too hard.
"If you want to compete for the championship, you have to climb over the mountain of the American men's basketball team, otherwise it is just empty talk." Bus knew that the team with the best chance of winning the championship was the US team.
"It's okay, as long as we reach the semi-finals, the goal of this tournament will be accomplished." Gao Fei said very easily.
Daba and Gao Fei have been teammates for a year, and they know that he has a restrained competitive spirit.Although he said it was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was more eager than anyone else to defeat the US men's basketball team.
He had no strength before, but now he has top combat power, so he still wants to give it a go.But it's not the group stage, but I hope to meet in the final.
He left the bus room and saw Ah Lian who was about to go back to the room.
"Ah Lian, you have performed well in these few games. If you were to face Odom, are you sure?" Gao Fei asked.
"Odom is the main rotation of your team. He is stronger than me, so he can only try his best to defend."
Gao Fei said with a smile: "You should think so, just one Odom, I'll get him done in minutes."
"Can?"
"As long as you believe that you can do it, miracles may happen."
Ah Lian was still thinking about this sentence after Gao Fei left.He believes that things on the basketball court are determined by strength, and confidence has a certain impact, but it is not so obvious.
He thought about it, but still couldn't find something better than Odom.
Gao Fei returned to the room and drew two circles on the diary, representing two victories in the group stage.The qualifying situation is very optimistic. Even if they lose to the US team, they can still advance to the knockout round.
He played in the NBA and was familiar with the players of the US team, so he was not in a hurry to study the videos.Change into loose clothing and enjoy a rare break from the day.
"What are you going to do?" The average playing time was less than 30 minutes per game, which made Gao Fei a little bit over-energy.He wants to take advantage of tomorrow morning to go out and play, and then prepare for the game against the US team in the afternoon.
"By the way, I can go to the "Jump" magazine and ask them to help contact Inoue. I have liked the manga for so long, and it would be good to meet me." He confirmed this idea and wrote it down in the memo.
Dayao lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.He has the top inside dominance, but he has never experienced the feeling of a strong team. It is very new for him not to worry about qualifying places.
