Super Lord of the Rings

On September 1st, the semi-finals of Dream 7 vs. Greece started in the afternoon at the Hokkaido Gymnasium in Saitama City.

The Greek team had a shocking upset, their performance blinded the eyes of countless fans, and defeated the US team 101 to 95 to reach the final first.

Five members of the Dream 7 team scored in double figures, and it is still difficult to hide the overall shortcomings. The playing time of the players is too scattered. The way of playing the game before is like playing the All-Star Game. Once encountering a tough battle, the cooperation between the players seems very tacit.

Their offense was not bad, but there was a serious problem with their defense, which allowed Greece, which had average offensive power, to break through 100 points.

Some hard-core American fans who traveled from the United States to Japan to watch the game were disappointed.

After the game, a young fan was interviewed outside the arena and said angrily, "Does this Dream Seven team have superstars? Their performance is not as good as Wang Jun and Yao Ming."

Someone else shook his head and sighed: "It's too bad, except for Anthony, everyone else is too bad."

No one is satisfied with the performance of the Dream Seven team. Reporters from various countries interviewed these fans out of bad taste, and they like to hear about the degeneration of American basketball.

Americans are too arrogant, especially in the field of basketball, this time they can't be crazy.

The Mengqi players all bowed their heads when they left the arena, looking like losers, but when they first arrived in Japan, they all came here with gold medals hanging around their necks.

There is a big problem with the Dream Team lineup.

The first is the lack of experienced point guards. Chris Paul had 3 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists and was overwhelmed by Greek defender Papalukas, who had 8 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists.

As a point guard, Paul's biggest contribution is actually brushing six backcourt rebounds.

The other is the center. The old coach K actually let Brand play the starting center, and Anthony played power forward. The opening is a small ball tactic. As a result, Brand played the entire game for 12 minutes without scoring a point and only had two rebounds.

It feels a bit difficult for a person who is short to play a power forward to play a center.

Can shoot threes and open the floor. Jamison, who has good speed, didn't get a chance to play the whole game, and guarded the drinking fountain with veteran Miller.

The excellent blue-collar Dwight Howard has excellent defense and super athletic ability, and he only played 13 minutes in the whole game. Old K didn't give him many opportunities to perform.

So most of the time, the U.S. team has no center at all.

James has had a guest appearance on the inside line for a while.

Under the combination of internal and external attacks of the Greek team, the US team could not defend at all, and Spanoulis scored the highest 22 points.

James claims to be able to defend five positions. It's just that the media is talking nonsense to praise him, and being able to prevent it doesn't mean that it can be prevented well, but old K is serious about this.

On the offensive end, several stars were trapped by Greece's zone defense. James, Wade, and Paul all like to break through the middle and are easy to be double-teamed. Only Hinrich can guarantee the three-point shooting rate, 4 of 7 shots. Anthony's 3-of-8 three-pointers are still alive, Battier, Joe Johnson, and James are all misfired.

James had the worst performance, making 0 of 4 shots from outside the three-point line, and he had a clear physical advantage. He was put on the outside to shoot but couldn't make it, which is shameful enough.

Now, what David Stern feared most happened. The US team was out again, and the strength of the local stars was even more doubtful.

The old coach K is also very helpless. There are many problems in the selection this time, and there are no insiders available. Brad Miller is terrible, Howard is only a second-year rookie, and his performance is inconsistent.

The veterans in the team are Shane Battier, Jamison and Miller, and none of them has a championship experience.

This defeat was a huge blow to the Americans. Gone is the absolute dominance of the 90s when NBA players beat kids.

From 1992 to 1996, the three competitions Meng 123 participated in were all just for fun to win the championship, and they were suspended in 1998. The United States can win the third place only with a group of NBDL players. But since 2002, the Americans can no longer just find a group of NBA players to train for two weeks and book the championship as before.

The loss of Dream 7 will stimulate China and Argentina even more.

Everyone on both teams saw a chance to win the title. Even if Greece wins the United States, it feels like a fool. Playing 5 times may not win once, it is much easier than dealing with the United States.

The leaders of the Chinese Basketball Association immediately organized a meeting of all members to demand the spirit of hard work. Strive to reach the finals, and there must be no thoughts of underestimating the enemy, lack of concentration, etc.

At this time, who would underestimate the enemy except for the mentally retarded? How is it possible to underestimate the 2004 Olympic champion Argentina? Meetings are a waste of time, but the business needs to be done.

After the officials left, Yunus hurriedly emphasized tactics. "The offensive end combines inside and outside. Wang goes to the bottom corner after covering the ball in the middle and Yi. Liu Wei can give Yao a lob on the right side and stand on the outside. If the opponent changes slowly when Wang is running, pass the ball to the right Give him singles on the side baseline. Wang attracts double-teams and can pass to Yao in the middle."

"Understood!" Wang Jun shouted.

The others also shouted to understand that everyone was very energetic and the temptation to advance was too great.

The tactics are pretty much the same as before, with a slightly different focus. Wang Jun didn't play on the baseline many times before, and he mainly attacked in the middle. Argentina will definitely not relax his defense. Going to the baseline is more convenient for Yao Ming to lob the ball.

Argentina has also done enough mobilization work, mainly to defend Wang Jun. It is required to keep an eye on it, keep someone in front of it from interfering with the shot, and rotate other positions.

The coach doesn't believe that Ginobili can defend himself. If he double-teams Wang Jun and defends Yao Ming, it depends on the team's center forward.

After warming up the game starts.

The offensive end of the Chinese team is open again as soon as they come up. The cooperation between Wang Jun and Yao Ming is becoming more and more tacit.

Wang Jun ran in the middle to avoid Ginobili, and when he caught the ball on the right, he was misplaced, attracting Scola to defend. As long as Scola is slower, Wang Jun can shoot, or hit the ground and pass the ball to Yao Ming, and then go to the bottom corner to pull away.

Scola didn't dare to double-team Yao Ming, so he had to follow Wang Jun. Yao Ming hit Oberto twice in a row, turned around to shoot a ball in the middle, and squeezed away his opponent to turn around and dunk with both hands at the basket.

The two are not of the same tonnage, Yao Ming can easily bully his opponent.

The third time when Scola thought that Wang Jun would pass again, Wang Jun turned around to the right and made a breakthrough with his left foot. Scola followed up and was blocked by Yao Ming.

Wang Jun broke into the basket, pulled the bar to avoid Oberto to change the defense to block, and made a backhand basketball.

Then Wang Jun singled out Scola from the bottom line, dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction, made an emergency stop jump shot, and scored at a 45-degree wipe.

Argentina only relied on Nocioni's breakthrough to score two points, opening 8-2.

Argentina's offense was unfavorable, and the penalty area was blocked by the Chinese team.

Due to Oberto's lack of offensive power, Yao Ming can comfortably stand under the basket and wait for Scola to attack, while the other four are responsible for defending the perimeter.

Wang Jun entangled Ginobili, keeping close to him, making it impossible for him to catch the ball comfortably. In the fierce confrontation, both of them are stars, and the referee does not call fouls. In terms of strength, Wang Jun is obviously better than Ginobili.

Ginobili is looking for a pick-and-roll. If Oberto covers, Wang Jun will go to double-team, so there is no need to worry about the perimeter. Scola covered, Wang Jun switched defenses, handed over to Yi Jianlian, and at the same time the people on the flanks assisted in defense.

Argentina is a team with a balanced offense and defense. Facing the Chinese team, this balance was broken.
