Zhang Guan's breaking the 1500m world record became the focus of people's talks for a while. The day before Liu Feiren's retirement due to injury was also forgotten by everyone. Everyone began to look forward to Zhang Guan's next Olympic champion. , The next world record.
On August 20, the Olympic Games entered its penultimate day of competition. On this day, Zhang Guan had to deal with three games. In the afternoon, the men's basketball team played against Croatia. In the evening, the 800m middle distance preliminaries and the 200m sprint finals.
The match between the men's basketball team and Croatia is held at 2:30 in the afternoon. Since it has entered the stage of the knockout game, the game must be more cruel.
The Croatian men's basketball team is a team with a glorious history. The strongest period of the Croatian team was in the 1990s. At that time, the Croatian team once reached the finals at the Barcelona Olympics and eventually lost to the strongest team in history. The American Dream First Team, and then Croatian star Podrovich even scored more than the legendary superstar Michael Jordan. It can be said that in that era, the Croatian team was the only team capable of contending with the dream team.
But in recent years, the strength of the Croatian team has already been much worse than before. Even in Europe, it can only be regarded as a midstream team. In this Olympic Games, the Croatian team finally entered the Olympic Games by virtue of the dropout.
According to the rules of the Olympic basketball competition, the Olympic qualifiers will generate three places, and all the teams participating in the qualifiers are mixed together to form a group. European teams are in the same group as African teams and Asian teams. This is for European teams. It definitely has an advantage. The three places in the qualifying for the current Olympic Games are Greece, Croatia and Germany. All three teams are European teams. It is worth mentioning that the Croatian team defeated the German team in the semifinals.
The national team faced the Croatian team in the first round of the playoffs, which can be said to be a sign. In terms of strength, the Croatian team is similar to the Chinese team, but in terms of play style and staffing, the Chinese team is obviously more restrained by the Croatian team.
Croatia has always been rich in tall point guards and tall insiders. Croatian point guards are traditional point guards, mainly based on organization; while the Croatian team's inside line is also the traditional European type of large inside line, which is not fast. , Exquisite technology, flexible movement, average level of confrontation. In general, the Croatian team is a traditional European team that can no longer be traditional.
Croatia’s main attack point is the inside. As we all know, Dayao is best at dealing with this traditional type of inside line, and the other two centers of the Chinese team are also very good at fighting the traditional type of inside line, so the national team’s inside line has Dominant.
Another point is that the Croatian team's speed is not fast, this is not because of the drag of the power center, but because the Croatian team really does not run fast players. The height of the Croatian players is generally tall, and they don't have the high-density muscles of blacks. It is normal to run fast.
The national team's speed is also not fast, especially when retreating, there are often defensive loopholes. In the face of an unhappy Croatian team, the two sides honestly attack the position. This is obviously the most national team at home. Hope to see things.
For the players of the national team, they have conducted a special study of each player of the Croatian team yesterday, and Zhang Guan did not prepare much for this game because he wants to prepare for the track and field game. Coach Yunas had to specifically open a small stove for Zhang Guan.
At this time, in the visual classroom of the men's basketball training ground, coach Yunas is specifically explaining the situation of the Croatian team to Zhang Guan.
"This is Vukic. He is the only player in Croatia who will play nba next season. Vukic, 24, was selected by the multi-land Raptors in 2005, but has been playing on the Spanish face until In the middle of the month, the Raptors announced that they signed a contract with Vukic for three years, probably to fill the vacancy after sending away Tj-Ford!"
Coach Yunas pointed to Vukic's photo and then said: "Vukic has a height of 1.96 meters and is a very large point guard. He is very good at the kind of skillful guards who make a layup. His wingspan and lateral movement speed during defense will also put a lot of pressure on his opponent's family."
"Like Papalukas?" Zhang Guan asked.
Coach Yunas thought about it, then shook his head: "Vukic's overall view and passing consciousness are far worse than Papalukas, and he has a poor shooting level, and his dribbling speed It’s not very fast. I think you should have no problem dealing with him with your defense."
Zhang Guan nodded, and coach Yunas pointed to another person's photo and continued: "This is Planinic, also a point guard, 1.99 meters tall, even taller than Vukic. He used to be In the first round of 2003, 22 was selected by the Nets and played for many years in the NBA. His ball control ability and passing vision are great, but the speed is slow, the body is not strong, and the speed type guard can easily Break through him. I think you can beat him on the offensive end with your speed. By the way, you have to remind you that Planinic has a good shooting ability. Pay attention when playing."
Coach Youansi pointed to another player's photo and continued: "This is Davor Kus. He is 1.92 meters tall. He is a combo guard and has good shooting ability, but his athleticism is more general. He should be It will be a substitute for the Croatian team."
"This player is Popovich. He is the shortest player of the Croatian team. He is 1.85 meters tall, but he does not have the amazing speed as the average small point guard. The Croatian coach probably will not send him on the court. ."
"This is probably the case for the Croatian defender line. There is another person you should pay attention to. His name is Thomas." Coach Yunas pointed to Thomas's picture, and then said: "He is 2 meters 03, playing small forward. , But he has a very comprehensive technique and a good overall view, and has a strong organizational ability, so sometimes he will even run to the position of the point guard. But he is the same as the other players of the Croatian team, that is The speed is average."
Zhang Guan nodded: "In general, the Croatian team is a team that can't run fast."
"You can understand this, but the Croatian team occasionally has a fast break, but the speed of the fast break is really unsatisfactory. This is very beneficial to us." Coach Yunas said with a smile.
...
At this time, in the Croatian team, Croatian coach Repeza is also encouraging his players.
"Boys, our opponent is the Chinese team, which is good news for us, because it means that we have the hope of entering the semi-finals. Look at the four teams in the a group, the United States. Team, we certainly can't beat them; Spain team, we are not their opponents; Greece team, we lost to them without suspense a month ago! Only the Chinese team is the object we can beat! We want to beat The Chinese team, advance to the semi-finals!" (To be continued.)
