Chapter 934: The worst start of the Olympics

"There is no major change in the Chinese team starting: center Dayao, power forward Arab League, small forward Ji Feng, shooting guard Wang Shipeng, point guard Liu Wei!"
This lineup is the most used starting lineup by the Chinese team. After a long run-in, it has been very tacit.
"Croatian starters are: center Marin Rodic, power forward Damir Marco, small forward Mark Thomas, shooting guard Planinic, point guard Popovich!"
This is also the main lineup that Croatia used to play in the major events in the past two years. The five games in the group stage are all such starters. They will naturally not have reservations in the knockout.
However, when you finish reading the player's name, it is not difficult to see from the confused eyes of the audience that Croatia has no known player at all!
Let ’s just say that other teams such as Russia and Germany will have one or two players that everyone can name, but they do n’t even know it, but Croatia can know a loser!
The most famous basketball player in Croatian history was the best sixth man of the Chicago Bulls dynasty at that time-Tony Kukoc, and his era was when Croatia was the most prosperous. In the 1992 Olympics, he led Croatia to pass all the way. In the Olympic finals, although they lost to the terrifying American Dream One, it was legendary enough. After all, no one can have a chance to meet Dream One in the final.
But that was the best result of the Croatian national team in the history of the Olympics. After that, Croatian basketball fell into decline. They have been away from the World Championships for 12 years. This is when they returned to the Olympics again after the 1996 Olympics. It is still a civilian team until now. The biggest player in the team may be the small forward Mark Thomas, who is about to play against Ji Feng. He is only playing in the Spanish League. No one in the team plays in the NBA.
On paper, they seem to be inferior to the Chinese team, even if Ji Feng is not there.
If you have such an idea, it is a big mistake. Although this team is not well-known, it is absolutely strong. Under the training of their head coach Jasmine Lipisa, this team cooperates with each other. The style is tough, the defense is strong, and is extremely good at fighting tough battles. The high-efficiency joint defense has made many strong teams miserable. At the last moment of the group stage, their joint defense even locked Russia and let the European champions helplessly defeated. In the championship, if Popovich missed the free throw at the last minute, they nearly killed Lithuania and entered the semifinals.
Although these players are not well-known in the world, they are indeed quite powerful, and they are somewhat similar to Greece. Their internal attack is weak, but the defense is first-class, and the offense mainly depends on the outside Bobowei. Qi and forward Thomas swingman Mark Thomas, the two offensive range covers the entire three-point line, can be said to be two sharp knives in Croatia!
And their head coach Jasmin Lipisa is only 47 years old and is a very young coach, but his ability is unquestionable. After accepting the team for two years, he led this team without big-name stars to come here. There is indeed a set.
He also threatened to surprise the world before the start of the Olympics. They even made the decision to reach the quarterfinals. At that time, they were also ridiculed by many European media, but now, the ridiculous media began to be optimistic. His team has reached the semifinals.
I have to say that this world is still very fantasy sometimes.
Today, they seem to have prepared some more fantasy tactics to deal with the Chinese team!
The referee walked into the court with the ball, the fans around the lake began to erupt, and the highly anticipated quarter-final battle began!
The hot bar sitting in the commentary seems a little nervous. The atmosphere of this game is too bursting. Only sitting here can feel this shock. The long guns and short guns on the sidelines are more terrifying than the red carpet, and the fans ’ Cheers will definitely dissuade many fans with bad heart.
But the players on the court looked okay, at least not feeling too nervous.
Scramble!
With a long arm in Dayao, the Chinese team got the ball in the first attack!
"Game start!"
"The first goal of the Chinese team was looking for opportunities on the outside. Ji Feng and Wang Shipeng handed over, and Dayao stood in position. Ji Feng's light pass, Dayao leaned on Luo Jiqi, turned around and jumped!"
"Pretty!"
"Dayao and Ji Feng were connected, an iconic turn-over jumper, Luo Jiqi's cover failed and the Chinese team scored two points!"
Guidance Sun on the sidelines waved heavily, and the goal was a good start!
However, before he was too happy, Popovich found a chance outside the three-point line and scored a three-pointer in the corner!
"It's okay! Come on." Ji Feng applauded and encouraged his teammates. The Croatian team was too brave to start the game with a three-pointer. Generally, no team would play like this. This is not 9012. Morale does not enter the outside, but it is undeniable that entering is indeed very encouraging.
But when Ji Feng took the ball over halftime ~ EbookFREE.me ~ he found that he only defended a turn-marked Croatia and changed his position!
"3-2 joint defense ?! What is this operation!" Su Qun couldn't help but called out.
"Is there any problem with this joint defense?" Reba asked, turning to the good habit of asking without understanding.
"The problem is big. This is a joint defense that focuses on defending the outside of the Chinese team. Generally, no team will use it, because now everyone is playing inside, you will be empty inside, and it is easy to be penetrated!" Yang Yi Explained next.
In the venue, Ji Feng was blinded for a while, and then Croatia decisively came up with a big delay, which was very fierce. After two steps back, Ji Feng only scored the ball to the left. After Wang Shipeng received the ball, it was like giving Dayao, but inside Yao Going around, and the person who hit Ji Feng immediately went back to defense, Wang Shipeng had no chance, and then he found that Ji Feng could not get the ball ...
"Oops!" Junas secretly said, Croatia is well prepared!
This time delayed the time, Liu Weiqiang cast iron, Croatia attack, the latter continuous pick-and-roll inside and outside, Planinic hit a shot!
Then the Chinese team failed to attack again, Croatia scored another goal!
At the start of 7-2, Yunus was a little bit uncomfortable, but at this moment he could not call a timeout, and he had no good way to crack the 3-2 defense.
But Croatia will not give the Chinese team time to think. They suddenly increased their defensive intensity. Especially when Liu Wei dribble the ball, Liu only did not pay attention, did not pass the halftime, and violated the law again! @
"SHIT!" Yunas has begun to scold the street.
But Croatia's offensive end continued to maintain an excellent feel, Popovich broke through the singles and scored another goal!
9-2!
Croatia made a fantastic start!
