Vol 3 Chapter 161: Halftime lead

Li Gen performed very well in the first few minutes.
　　In fact, among the players participating in this Asian Cup, he has the most experience in the competition. For this young Chinese men's basketball team, he is the real backbone.
　　 But in the previous games, Li Gen's performance was not satisfactory. Neither the offensive end nor the defensive end provided much help to the team. However, Du Feng is still willing to believe that he can play at his own level and has always let him on the court.
　　 This game really broke out! In the final finals, when the team most needed someone to stand up, the Chinese LeBron who had disappeared for a few games finally stood up!
　　 When An Luo was targeted by the opponent, Li Gen used his precise three-pointers and strong breakthroughs to help the Chinese team keep scoring.
　　 In fact, the Australian men's basketball team's defensive choice cannot be said to be wrong. Take the Chinese team’s previous games as an example. Except for the Qatar men’s basketball game with An Luo who was not too dazzling, in every other game, An Luo took on the main points of the team. task.
　　 Although other players can also score, compared with him, whether it is the ability to find opportunities or the efficiency of offense, there is still a big distance. So, as long as An Luo is locked, the game is easy to play.
　　 In theory, this is the case, but if you really want to lock An Luo, you have to pay more defensive power to his point. And in the process of the opponent's continuous movement, there will definitely be a lot of off-the-ball screens, which must ensure that under any circumstances, someone must go up, even if this will empty other players.
　　 At this time, the Chinese team must have someone to stand up and seize the opportunity created by An Luo to score. Otherwise, the opponent's defensive strategy will be a big success.
　　 It seems that Li Gen is the one who seized the opportunity. His burst is not only to keep scoring, but also to increase the burden on Australia's defensive end. So that the opponent had to allocate some strength to defend him.
　　 At this point, An Luo's pressure is much less. In the face of a two-person defense, he has to take Du Feng's tactical arrangements into consideration and not fight hard. But when there is only one person left in front of him, that is a reasonable offense.
　　 On the defensive end, Australia does not dare to let the second position Crick go to mark An Luo, no matter physical condition or defensive ability, it will not cause much interference to An Luo. Therefore, they sent veteran Brad Newley to stare at An Luo.
　　 However, even in the face of Brad Newley, An Luo did not feel much pressure. In addition to the height of the opponent, other aspects are also very average! Moreover, Newley's height does not have much advantage.
　　 An Luo is facing the opponent with the ball outside the three-point line, ready to rush in. He likes walking best, so this time is the same. The right hand quickly dribbles the ball in and out, and when the shoulder is short, it will burst. Newley's reaction was not slow, and he backed away quickly.
　　 Seeing the opponent started moving, An Luo stopped in a sudden stop, kicked hard with his right foot, and at the same time smashed the ball with his right hand, pulling back from the crotch. Then he withdrew a step backwards, pulling up to make a three-pointer.
　　 "I shot too fast!"
　　 This is probably the true portrayal of the hearts of all those who watched this game. The whole movement is perfectly connected and the rhythm is just right. The final shot was quite bold and felt confident.
　　 "Huh!"
　　 Basketball hits the bullseye!
"Pretty! An Luo finally shot! It's still a three-pointer, still accurate! Before that, he had made at least three three-pointers in five consecutive games. I don't know if this game will continue. Look. Get up, he feels very good!"
　　Almost everyone who followed this game was waiting for An Luo to make a three-pointer. Now that he finally scored, everyone is very happy. It feels like if An Luo can't make a three-pointer, the game will be dull.
　　 The host and guests who explained this game were also quite excited. When I was happy, I chatted.
"From the perspective of the strength of both sides, Australia as a whole is higher than us. But from the perspective of personal strength, no one is better than Anluo in this Asian Cup. Whether it is scoring or defense, he is better than other players. Do better! It seems that Australia has no better way to limit An Luo's performance. In addition, there is an open Li Gen on the court, the situation is quite favorable for us."
　　 "You are right! But it is difficult to solve this problem. The Australian defender still lacks a defensive frontman. They are very disadvantaged against a team with a super scorer."
"According to the current situation, maybe we can have the initiative in the first half. But everyone needs to pay attention to that in the second half, especially the last quarter, our players are physically at a disadvantage. At that time, how to withstand the impact of the opponent is the key to determining the outcome of the game~EbookFREE.me~ This can be regarded as the key to seeing the problem. The physical problem of men's basketball players has always existed. From many international competitions It can be seen from the middle of the game that when the Chinese team met a strong Western team, there were many situations in which they were able to open five or five in the first half. However, once the game was in the second half, the players could not run. The offense lacks lethality and the defense becomes weak. At this time, it is easy for the opponent to take away the game in the second half.
　　 In the next few minutes, the Chinese team successfully played several beautiful cooperation. Australia has no good way to deal with it. With An Luo hit another three-pointer in the left corner, the Chinese team expanded the point difference to double digits.
　　 Australia quickly called a timeout. But it did not play a big role in changing the situation.
　　 Li Gen’s outbreak continues. He is not always running like An Luo, he stays near the free throw line more often. Screening for his nephew and An Luo, and then taking advantage of the opposing defensive player being taken away from him, he seized the opportunity to run outside the three-point line or cut to the basket to score.
　　Originally, an An Luo is enough to drink a pot in Australia, but now it's even more difficult. Throughout the first half, he scored 18 points alone. In particular, his three-pointers, four of five shots, shooting higher than An Luo.
　　 In the end, the Chinese team took a 5-point lead in the first half. Although Australia has not played well on the defensive end, the offense is not bad. Constant off-ball screens and constant running. Unlike the Chinese team, they prefer to go to the basket. After all, the physical disadvantages of the Eastern players cannot limit them well.
