Chapter 552: [Amazing upset, opportunity to win the championship]

On September 1, the semi-finals of Dream 7 vs. Greece took the lead in the afternoon. The venue was at the Hokkaido Gymnasium in Saitama City.
The Greek team broke into a shocking upset, the performance blinded the eyes of countless fans, and beat the US team 101 to 95 to reach the final.
Five people in the Dream 7 team scored in double figures, which is still difficult to conceal the overall shortcomings. Players' playing time is too scattered. The way they played games before was like playing an All-Star game. Once a tough battle was encountered, the cooperation between the players seemed very tacit.
Their offense is not bad, but the defense has a serious problem, so that the average attack Greece scored 100 points.
Some American fans who came to Japan from the United States to see the ball were disappointed.
After the game, young fans were interviewed outside the stadium and said angrily: "Does this Dream Seven team have superstars? Their performance is not as good as that of Wang Jun and Yao Ming."
Others shook their heads with emotion: "It's too bad. Except for Anthony, everyone else is too bad."
No one was satisfied with the performance of the Mengqi team. Journalists from various countries interviewed these fans out of bad taste and liked the depravity of American basketball.
The Americans are too arrogant, especially in the basketball field, this time they can't be mad.
When the seven players left the stadium, they all looked down, looking like a loser. When they first arrived in Japan, they came like a gold medal on their necks.
The lineup of the Dream Team is very problematic.
The first is the lack of experienced point guards. Chris Paul was beaten by Greek defender Papalukas with 3 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. The latter had 8 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists.
As a point guard, Paul's biggest contribution was actually six rebounds in the backcourt.
The other is the center. The old K coach actually made Brand the starting center. Anthony played the power forward. The opening is small ball tactics. As a result, Brand played 12 minutes in the game, scoring no points and only two rebounds.
It's a bit difficult for a strong man to play a center with someone who is short at power forward.
Able to cast three points to open up space. Jamison, who has a good speed, did not get a chance to play the whole game, and guarded the drinking fountain with veteran Miller.
Outstanding blue-collar Dwight Howard has excellent defense, super sports ability, and played only 13 minutes. Old K didn't give him much performance opportunities.
So for most of the time, the United States did not have a center on the court at all, and James made a guest appearance for a while.
Under the combined attack of the Greek team inside and outside, the United States team could not resist, Spanoris scored the highest 22 points.
James claims to be able to defend five positions. It's just that in order to praise him for the media, being able to defend doesn't mean being able to defend well, but the old K really took it seriously.
Offensively, several stars are trapped in Greece's defense. James, Wade, and Paul all like to break through the middle and are easy to get caught. Only Hinrich guarantees a three-point percentage and makes 4 of 7 shots. Anthony's 3-of-8 8-pointer was still alive, and Battier, Joe Johnson, and James were all misfired.
James was the worst performer, with a 0-for-4 shot from the three-point line, and his body had a clear advantage. He was put on the periphery but could not get in, which was shameful.
This time, David Stern's most feared thing happened, the US team was out again, and the strength of the local star was even more doubtful.
Coach K is also very helpless, this time there are many problems with the selection, there is no inside available. Brad Miller was so bad, Howard was the second year rookie and his performance was unstable.
The veterans on the team are Battier, Jamison and Miller, and none of them have any championship experience.
The defeat hit the Americans immensely. The absolute dominance of the 1990s when NBA players played against children is gone.
From 1992 to 1996, the three contests that Meng 123 participated in were completely playing for the championship and closed in 1998. The United States can win the third place only by a group of NBDL players. But since 2002, Americans can no longer find a group of NBA players to book a championship for two weeks just like they used to.
The loss of Dream 7 is more stimulating to China and Argentina.
Both teams saw the chance to win the championship. Even if Greece wins the United States, it feels blinding. It may not be possible to win once after playing five times, which is much easier than dealing with the United States.
The leaders of the Chinese Basketball Association immediately organized a meeting of all the staff, demanding that the spirit of hard work be exerted. Strive to reach the finals, never underestimate the enemy's thinking, lack of concentration, etc.
Who will underestimate the enemy except mental retardation? Underestimate the 2004 Olympic champion Argentina how is this possible? Meetings are a waste of time, but things have to be done.
When the officials were gone, Yunus quickly emphasized tactics. "The combination of inside and outside of the offensive end, Wang went to the corner after screening with Yi Wu without the ball. Liu Wei on the right can give Yao a ball and the outside line can wait for a chance. If the opponent changes defense when Wang runs, he passes the ball to the right The bottom line gave him a singles. Wang attracted a double and could pass the middle to Yao."
"Understood!" Wang Jun shouted loudly.
Others followed the call to understand that everyone was full of energy and the temptation to advance was too great.
The tactics are the same as before, but the focus has changed slightly. Wang Jun hadn't had many times on the bottom line before. The main attack was in the middle. Argentina will definitely not relax his defense. Going to the bottom line is more convenient for Yao Ming.
The Argentina side has also done enough mobilization work, mainly to defend Wang Jun, demanding that it must be watched, to keep someone in front of him from interfering with the shot, and other positions rely on rotation.
The coach did not believe that Ginobili could defend himself. If Wang Jun was included to defend Yao Ming, it would depend on the team's center.
The game started after the warm-up.
The offensive end of the Chinese team is opened as soon as it comes up. The cooperation between Wang Jun and Yao Ming has become more and more tacit. As long as the internal and external dual-core does not come chaotically, it is easy to create a heads-up opportunity.
Wang Jun's middle road escaped Ginobili by covering the running position. A catch on the right side was a misalignment, attracting Scola to defend. As long as Scola is slower, Wang Jun can shoot or pass the ball to Yao Ming, and then go to the corner to open.
Scola didn't dare to trap Yao Ming, but had to play with Wang Jun and Yao Ming in two consecutive games with Oboto. He turned the ball to the middle and shot, once squeezed his opponent and turned to the basket to dunk his hands.
The two are not a tonnage, Yao Ming can easily bully his opponent.
The third time Scola thought that Wang Jun would still pass, Wang Jun turned to the right side and stepped forward. The left foot made a breakthrough and Scola was blocked by Yao Ming.
Wang Jun burst into the basket, pulled the lever away from Oboto to change the cover, and backhanded the basketball.
Then Wang Jun singled Scola from the bottom line. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com under the crotch to change the direction of the dribble, stop the jumper in one step, and wipe the board at 45 degrees to score.
Argentina only scored two points on Nocioni's breakthrough and opened 8-2.
Argentina's offense was unfavorable and the penalty area was blocked by the Chinese team.
Due to Oboto's lack of offensive power, Yao Ming can comfortably stand in the basket and wait for Scola to attack. The other four are responsible for defending the periphery.
Wang Jun is entangled with Ginobili and keeps on fitting, making him unable to catch the ball comfortably. In the fierce confrontation, both of them are stars, the referee does not play foul. Compared with strength, Wang Jun clearly outperformed Ginobili.
Ginobili looks for a pick-and-roll. If it is Oboto's cover, Wang Jun will go to the box, and don't worry about the outside. Scola covered it, and Wang Jun changed his defense and handed it to Yi Jianlian.
Argentina belongs to a team with balanced offense and defense. In the face of the Chinese team, this balance has been broken.
