At the same time, Zhang Guan is enjoying the "small stove" given by coach Yunas.
"He is the opponent you will face in the next game." Coach Yunas pointed to an athlete on the screen and then said: "Sarunas Jascovi Hughes, he has a nickname, the king of Europe! "
Zhang Guan frowned slightly, and he found that his opponents in every game seemed to be very cattle. Before that, Papalukas, who was the strongest point guard in the world, came out with another "European King" today.
Just listen to Yunas and then introduce: "Jiascovi Hughes is the soul of this Lithuanian team. He is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 90 kilograms. He is a point guard. He is a high school and university in the United States. After graduating from college, he gave up the draft and returned to European development. In the 2004 Olympics, Jascoe Hughes once led the team to defeat the Dream Six team 94 to 90 in the group stage, and in the final In the bronze medal competition, when Lithuania faced the Dream Six team again, Jasco Visius also almost finished the lore."
Zhang Guan nodded. He remembered the Athens Olympics four years ago. On the way back when he went out to buy a lottery ticket, he also discussed the Dream Six team with the men's basketball team. Although the big players of the US team are not as many as the current Dream Eight team, the player configuration is more reasonable, but they lost to Argentina in the semifinals.
Coach Yunas went on to say: "Jascovi Hughes also played. He joined the Indiana Pacers in 2005, but at that time, the Auburn Hills Palace fight had just ended. The chaotic Pacers did not let Jia Scove Hughes played a real level. Later he joined the Golden State Warriors and helped the Golden State Warriors complete the Black Eight miracle. But in general, he is like many European point guards. The right rhythm."
"Unsuitable rhythm? Is there a lack of physical confrontation?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Almost, Jascoe Hughes's pace is not fast, which makes him unable to adapt to the man-to-man defense system, but he has played very well in the joint defense system, which is also a feature of many European point guards. "Yunas said.
Zhang Guan understood. European basketball pays attention to all kinds of joint defense, and a large part of the defense system in China is man-to-man defense, with more defense than joint defense. This makes many European stars unable to adapt to the defensive rhythm and is often regarded as a defense. The loophole was under the focus of opponents.
However, among the various defense systems, these European stars are extremely powerful. Even black American muscles in the United States can hardly take advantage of the European defense system.
"Another thing you should pay attention to is that Jasco Visius has a very good three-point shooting ability. In fact, many traditional European teams are not very good at shooting three-pointers, but Lithuania is an exception. They may be Europe is the best team to shoot three-pointers. Among their teams, both inside and outside, even the center can shoot three-pointers, so you should pay attention when defending."
Zhang Guan nodded again, and he remembered Ilgauskas, a 2.21 meter big man who had the ability to shoot three-pointers.
Coach Yunas thought for a while, and then said: "The Lithuanian team can be said to be a model of team basketball, but this time the Lithuanian team lacks Ilgoskas, Masiyanska and Sanguera. General, the team's strength has been affected to a certain extent. Especially without Ilgoskas, their inside players have been difficult to limit Dayao, so this game, Dayao will still be our main point of attack . Considering the level of defense of the Lithuanian team, your breakthrough may not be able to achieve the best results, so during the game, try to divide the ball to Dayao."
At the same time, in the training room of the Lithuanian team, Lithuanian coach Slyrica is also playing a video of the Chinese team and the Croatian team.
"What do you think of Zhang Guan's breakthrough?" Coach Slerica paused the picture and asked Jasco Visius opposite.
"It's sharp, even if it's in the middle, it's a breakthrough at the top level." Jasco Visius said.
"You are right. As a track and field athlete, Zhang Guan's physical fitness should be stronger than that of a basketball player, so he can use this world-leading breakthrough. And this is exactly the change of this Chinese team. In the past, the Chinese team's point guard was their weakness. The emergence of Zhang Guan obviously made them complement this weakness. He is fast enough, strong enough, strong in confrontation, and has a top breakthrough in the world. It’s no longer useful for the Chinese team.
Srelika took a deep breath here, and then said:
Speaking of it, I really admire my teacher Yunas, who can let Zhang Guan play basketball, and will also The Chinese team was brought into the semi-finals of the Olympic Games. But I am not worried about Zhang Guan’s breakthrough. I believe in your defense!"
Lithuania’s joint defense is arguably the best in the world. They are very good at defending their opponents’ breakthroughs. At the time of the Athens Olympics, the US team had Iverson, James and Wade. Has suffered a great loss. In particular, young James and Wade, after repeated breaks, were defended by the Lithuanian team, and then directly pressed by the coach on the bench.
So when Zhang Guan showed the world's top breakthrough, the Lithuanian team did not have any worries, they were very confident in their joint defense system.
Coach Sleleka looked at his players and then said: "In addition, through the observation of these few games, I found that Zhang Guan will be the last person to end the offense as long as he launches a breakthrough. Zhang Guan's pass is not More, more is to pass the ball to Dayao in the position battle, so Zhang Guan’s assist data is not good. That is to say, he is a defender who is good at scoring, but not good at passing, which is different from many American styles. The guard is very similar. Another thing is that Zhang Guan did not score a single shot by shooting, and his free throw percentage was also around 50, so I can be sure that Zhang Guan will not shoot.
Coach Slyrica spread his hands while speaking: "I want to say here, everyone should understand. You are facing a pure breakthrough hand, and a very fast breakthrough hand. He He can’t pass the ball, he can’t shoot, so in the game, we can let him break through, but we can never let him make a layup. As long as he can limit Zhang Guan’s layup, he will not have any means to score, even the ball. I can’t pass it! I am looking forward to hearing the referee blowing a three-second offense.

On August 22, the Wukesong Stadium, the semi-finals of the Olympic men's basketball team officially kicked off. To be continued ()
