Chapter 1271 Horns and Diamonds

That night, the match between the Japanese team and the Chinese team was held at the Mercedes-Benz Hall in Shanghai.

Neither Tang Tian nor Abu will play, but they still appeared at the match wearing substitute clothes.

Their appearance also drew sideways glances and cheers from the audience.

Especially in the warm-up session, the fans chanted Tang Tian's name.

Catering to the cheers of the fans, Tang Tian performed a few relatively easy windmills and 360° turns, and the atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited.

As far as the game is concerned, live broadcast and live broadcast are completely two concepts.

Most of them watched Tang Tian play, and they only watched it through the live broadcast.

What I saw on the spot now, whether it is the visual experience or the feeling in the heart, is not at the same level at all.

A Chinese player who can easily complete the big windmill and 360 is in front of you, which is an exciting enough thing in itself.

So the frenzy of this year's Basketball World Cup is also expected.

Since the 2008 Olympics, basketball fans have never experienced an international competition at their doorstep.

Not to mention that the Chinese team, as the Olympic defending champion, ranks third in the FIBA ​​World Cup rankings, second only to the US team and the Canadian team.

In other words, this is an opportunity to witness the national team win the championship at their own doorstep!

So their excitement, in fact, when this summer comes, it is already as hot as the outdoor weather.

After the warm-up ended, the starters of the two teams came out one after another.

For the Chinese team, Guo Ailun, Wu Qian, Zhou Peng, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhelin.

On the Japanese team, Yuki Togashi, Yudai Baba, Yuta Watanabe, Rui Hachimura, and Nick Fazekas.

Because Tang Tian, ​​Ding Yanyuhang, and Abud all didn't play, in terms of Starlight alone, the Japanese team did not lose to the Chinese team.

Except for the NBA-level wing trio of Yudai Baba, Yuta Watanabe, and Rui Hachimura, Nick Fazekas is a naturalized player, and Yuki Togashi also has experience in the NBA Development League.

Even Makoto Hiejima, who was sitting on the bench, played in this year's summer league.

As for the Chinese team, only Yi Jianlian has NBA experience, and Guo Ailun has only played in the summer league.

At this moment, the fans noticed that Tang Tian and Abud were both wearing training clothes and sitting at the end of the bench. Depending on the situation, they would not be playing tonight.

Although a little disappointed, the fans quickly turned their attention to the game itself.

Playing a Japanese team that is doing well, no matter what the sport, is always exciting for fans.

The game started quickly, and Yi Jianlian won the first attack opportunity for the Chinese team.

The Chinese team played a bull-horn tactic when they came up.

Guo Ailun used Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll to go straight to the basket, faced Fazekas, turned around and scored a layup.

The goal was beautifully scored, and it also attracted cheers from the fans.

But looking back, Hachimura used a step-back shot to hit a mid-range jumper under Yi Jianlian's defense.

His playing style is very similar to Anthony, and he is really stable with a half interception.

Guo Ailun's breakthrough in the frontcourt was assisted by Rui Hachimura. Guo Ailun couldn't get the ball out and forced a shot to hit the iron.

Fazekas grabbed the rebound, and the Japanese team pushed the defense directly to counterattack.

Yuta Watanabe rushed to the frontcourt like the wind, received a pass from Yuki Token and made a fast break.

The Japanese team played very well at the beginning.

Guo Ailun held the ball again in the frontcourt, and the Japanese team adjusted their defensive strategy at this time, and began to play a 2-3 zone defense.

This is an obvious breakthrough play against Guo Ailun.

The Chinese team fell in a circle from the outside and didn't have a chance. Yi Jianlian finally received Guo Ailun's throwing pass and missed Hachimura's defense.

Rui Hachimura grabbed the long rebound and counterattacked directly, causing Yi Jianlian's defensive foul.

There was a commotion on the sidelines, and the Chinese team was suppressed by the Japanese team at the beginning.

Hachimura's free throw opportunity, Li Chunjiang directly called Guo Ailun to the sidelines and scolded him.

The horn tactic is a relatively common tactic in international competitions, and the No. 1 player who initiates the tactic is very important.

Guo Ailun didn't have a problem with the choice of playing small and big at the beginning of the game, but after that, he didn't get the ball twice and did not dare to make a shot. What he did obviously did not meet his requirements.

Tang Tian was watching from the end of the bench right now.

Guo Ailun's playing style has not changed in the past two years, which is also the key factor preventing him from moving to a higher stage.

But Li Chunjiang is also really ruthless.

Seeing Guo Ailun's unconvinced face, he turned around and called Zhao Jiwei behind him, and replaced him directly.

Hachimura made a free throw, and Zhao Jiwei replaced Guo Ailun on the Chinese team.

Rui Hachimura also had a second free throw.

6 to 2, the Japanese team suppressed the Chinese team at the beginning.

There was a lot of restlessness on the sidelines. The Chinese team rarely played against the Japanese team so passively at the beginning.

In the past two years, Japanese basketball has been mixed and planned, and its strength has obviously improved.

After Li Chunjiang replaced Guo Ailun, he also made new tactical gestures.

The Chinese team changed from horns to diamonds.

The so-called diamond is named after the position is shaped like a diamond.

This is also one of the commonly used tactics in international competitions.

After Zhao Jiwei held the ball in the frontcourt, other players settled down one after another.

Wu Qian stood under the basket, Zhou Peng stood outside the free throw line, Wang Zhelin and Yi Jianlian were on both sides of the free throw line.

Wu Qian used Yi Jianlian's cover to run outward, moving 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the right.

At the same time, Zhou Peng moved 45 degrees outside the left three-point line.

Wu Qian received the ball and passed the ball back to Zhao Jiwei, and then used Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll to go straight to the basket.

At this time, Zhou Peng mentioned near the free throw line again, and Wu Qian also used Wang Zhelin's cover to run to a 45-degree angle on the left.

After such a tactical move, Wu Qian ran in a "8" shape to completely affect the Japanese team's defense, and there were many misplacements on the field.

At this time, Yi Jianlian received a pass from Zhao Jiwei, faltered a little outside the three-point line, and flew directly to the basket.

The Japanese team had no time to help defend, so they could only watch Yi Jianlian take off.

"Boom!"

Yi Jianlian's powerful one-handed buckle directly ignited the emotions of the audience.

Compared with the relatively jerky horn tactics at the beginning, this diamond play was very successful.

This ball also inspired the morale of the Chinese team, and they successfully defended against a wave of attacks from the Japanese team.

After attacking the frontcourt, Zhao Jiwei and Yi Jianlian played a pick-and-roll. After the split, Yi Jianlian broke through with the ball.

Wu Qian caught the ball and made a quick three-pointer.

"Shua!"

There was a crisp sound.

Wu Qian's three-pointer hit the net.

The scene burst into cheers.

During this period, the Chinese team played a 5-0 offensive and instantly overtook the score!

Tang Tian also stretched out his hand to applaud at this time.

There is still a gap between the CBA and the NBA.

Don't talk about personal ability, just talk about the details of handling the ball.

Guo Ailun handled the ball twice before, and the results of these two handlings by Yi Jianlian are completely different.
