Chapter 884 Slow Down

After a week of semi-closed training, the national team's new style of play is gradually taking shape.

To be honest, the tactical play of the Chinese national team is not very complicated, and it is impossible to play complicated ones.

Now that Li Liang is here, Director Gong made a simpler one, which is actually a good thing for the players.

More problems with the Chinese national team still lie in their playing habits and basketball awareness. Tactics are often not a big problem.

When Jonas coached the Chinese men's basketball team, most of his energy was not spent on formulating tactics, but on correcting bad playing habits of Chinese players.

Eight years have passed since 2008, and those players have corrected themselves, but the playing habits of young players are still the same.

Because there is only one Yunus in the national team, he can only manage his group of people.

The training of young players and the training of teams at all levels are still not much different from the past.

Li Liang has played with these players a lot, and he also discovered this problem.

After halftime he scolded earlier, the problem of stopping the ball and passing the ball cannot be solved in a short time.

I have been playing like this since I was a child. When encountering high-intensity defense, first protect the ball, and then let the offense flow smoothly.

There is also an inside line grabbing rebounds, grabbing the rebounds and subconsciously closing, not knowing that the hands are raised and directly attacking the basket.

Perimeter players have poor positioning awareness when defending, they can't push up, block people, and they don't have rebounding awareness.

The backward consciousness of "big men only grab rebounds" still exists in the national team. If you look at Westbrook, he has already robbed himself as a center.

In modern basketball, ambiguity of position is the general trend, and the concept of small players shooting three-pointers and big players grabbing rebounds is not likely to be beaten into scum by the multifunctional light cavalry in Europe and the United States.

During the week of training, Li Liang constantly brainwashed his teammates and instilled advanced basketball concepts.

Some things, the coach said may go in the left ear and come out the right ear, but if an idol like Li Liang emphasizes it, it will be different.

After all, Li Liang scolded people much more fiercely than Director Gong.

...

On July 5th, the 2016 Stankovic Cup will begin.

This event has been held since 2005, and it is already the 11th time.

It is the only intercontinental basketball game in the basketball world that is designated to be held in mainland China. Once a year, teams from basketball powerhouses from all continents participate.

There were 6 participating teams in each of the previous sessions, but there were only 4 teams in each session later.

The overall level is of course declining.

At the beginning, all countries will send their main players to participate, and then they will use some second and third teams to deal with it.

In general, the symbolic meaning of this competition system is higher than the actual meaning, and winning the championship is not a great honor above.

It is a bit similar to the "Toyota Cup" and "Club World Cup" in the football world. It seems that the world's best players are gathered to compete, but it is actually a tasteless award.

It's good to win, and it's not ashamed to lose, anyway, the really important honor has been won.

The Stankovic Cup is pretty much that treatment.

Because this year is the Olympic year, the main function is to warm up the national team.

The other three teams are France, Argentina and Nigeria.

On the first match day, the opponent of the Chinese team in the first match was Nigeria from Africa.

At 7:30 in the evening, the game will start in the Olympic Center Gymnasium.

Tickets for this game were pre-sold early, and few people bought and watched them.

But since Li Liang announced to join the national team, the ticket price for this game has soared.

The scalpers naturally have a place to play, and the ticket price for the front row of this game has been fired very high.

No way, this is the charm of Li Liang.

The first person in basketball deserves this treatment.

When it was time for the game, the entire Olympic Sports Center was packed.

The organizers never expected so many people to come to this game tonight.

The preparatory work was a little lacking, and the scene was chaotic and chaotic.

But when Li Liang entered the field on behalf of the Chinese team, there was only shouting of his name left on the scene.

Do you know what a spectacular scene it is when tens of thousands of spectators shout "Gan Liliang".

This is even more spectacular than the national scolding in Beijing.

Because it is wrong to scold the country after all, but it is always okay to call the name of the number one star, right?

Good guy, I broke out Li Liang's cold sweat.

Those who didn't know thought that the national team had made a big mistake and was scolded like this.

Li Liang had no choice but to ask the technical station for a microphone, and said a few words to the audience, "Everyone, be civilized and don't call me by my name."

The scene finally quieted down, and the game was about to begin.

In China, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Guo Ailun, Li Liang and Ding Yanyuhang are the starters.

Because Yi Jianlian had just given birth to his youngest son, he asked for leave and went back home.

Although he had rushed back to Beijing, Gong Luming still let him rest and play again in the next match.

If Yi Jianlian is in the fourth position, this lineup is a relatively stable starting lineup for the Chinese team, and all five positions can be considered.

However, Gong Luming is still investigating, and the final candidates for the third and fifth positions have not yet been determined.

On the Nigerian side, Li Liang knew one player, Aminu, a player from the Trail Blazers.

Li Liang didn't know the rest, but Nigeria's strength is still very good.

Except for Aminu who plays in the NBA, many other players play for strong teams in the European League.

If Li Liang does not join the national team, the strength of the Chinese team and Nigeria will be 50-50.

In addition, Yi Jianlian will not play this game, and without Li Liang, it will be 4:6.

The Chinese team wore a red jersey, while Nigeria wore a white jersey with green borders.

Li Liang's jersey number has been changed from No. 28 to No. 14, which is exactly half of No. 28.

The jump ball was performed by Zhou Qi, and the Chinese team got the ball at the beginning.

The game has officially begun.

As soon as Li Liang got the ball, there was a faint voice of "Gan Liliang".

This disturbed Li Liang's mentality to a certain extent, and he felt like he was going to collapse.

He has always been as stable as Mount Tai, but he really couldn't stand being called by his name in Beijing.

An inward pass went wrong, Nigeria quickly countered and Wang Zhelin fouled in defense.

Afterwards, serving from the baseline, Aminu caught the ball at the bottom corner and hit a mid-range jumper.

Nigeria took the lead 2:0.

Then, the Chinese team wanted to play a quick counterattack. After a quick serve from the backcourt, Guo Ailun rushed to the basket.

It's a pity that Guo Ailun is far worse than Westbrook in terms of impact.

There is already a chance in the middle, but his speed is slower and his jumping ability is even less.

Surrounded by three Nigerian players, a layup was made without the ball touching the basket.

Nigeria also counterattacked quickly with the ball, but it failed.

Li Liang, who got the rebound, passed the ball to Xiao Ding. The Chinese team stretched in all directions. Zhou Qi caught the ball on the right side and tried a three-point shot...it still missed.

At the basket, Wang Zhelin wanted to grab an offensive rebound, but somehow he was hit and fell to the ground.

Nigeria scored a backcourt rebound and was also a fast break.

The speed of the two sides after the opening was dazzling.

Fast, but messy, this is not a good game rhythm.

Nigeria was the first to stop, fight positional warfare, slow down the pace, and stroke it.

After passing the ball three times, it was given to the inside line, and Zhou Qi was forced to hit this point and missed.

Li Liang rushed to the basket and grabbed the backboard, then held the ball and motioned to his teammates to slow down.

Since you can't rush at the beginning, let's go slower.
