—————————————————————————————————————————————

On August 20, the quarterfinals of the men's Olympic basketball qualification round began.

Chinese men's basketball team vs. Australian men's basketball team.

Both the process and the result of this game made Chinese fans very happy, especially after being extremely dissatisfied with the Australian men's basketball team and Bogut, one of the key players of their team, over the past two days.

From the start of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team dominated the Australian men's basketball team throughout the game, overwhelming them in all aspects.

In the paint, Dayao defeated Bogut in several ways. Although both were number one picks in the NBA, the strength gap was quite large for Bogut, and Dayao had learned from his previous mistakes — a lesson that made the boy even more ruthless.

In just three quarters, Dayao made Bogut commit five fouls. His personal stats were only a pitiful 7 points and 6 rebounds.

While the interior was defeated, the Australian men's basketball team was also at an absolute disadvantage on the perimeter. Wang Chong didn't put in much effort in this game with Dayao as the main scorer, and didn't even play one-on-one with the ball a couple of times.

But this doesn't mean that Wang Chong didn't contribute offensively. In this game, he made 5 out of 8 three-point shots and scored as much as 15 points just from triples.

91:66, this was the final score between the two teams.

The Chinese men's basketball team defeated Australia by 25 points, making Bogut's pre-game rhetoric look like that of a clown trying to please others.

This victory was a double blessing for China: not only did it make Australia feel bad, but it also allowed China to reach the Olympic semifinals, achieving the best performance in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team at the Olympics.

While Chinese fans across the country rejoiced that day, they were not satisfied just because the Chinese men's basketball team had achieved its best performance in history.

Now, the Chinese men's basketball team had the opportunity to compete for medals and even Olympic gold medals. If they could win the gold medal, it would be a true fairytale ending.

But to win the gold medal, the next two matches, the semifinals and the finals, would undoubtedly be the biggest challenge for the Chinese men's basketball team.

The opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in the semifinals was the Spanish men's basketball team, which had defeated the Argentine men's basketball team.

The strength of the 2008 original silver medalist should not be underestimated. Although they lost to the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage, in the knockout round of the single-elimination competition, the Spanish men's basketball team would undoubtedly show some powerful moves. Even Wang Chong was worried. It wasn't guaranteed.

The other semifinal matchup was the US men's basketball team against the Lithuanian men's basketball team.

Compared to China vs. Spain, there was no suspense in this matchup. Lithuania could not be the opponent of the US men's basketball team. It was a fact that the Dream Team would make it to the finals. The only suspense was which other team would make it to the final. Would it be China or Spain?

Two days later, the semifinals were played as scheduled.

With the experience of playing in the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team had become familiar with and adapted to each other's playing styles to some extent. The second game of the Olympics would be even more intense.

As soon as the game started, Wang Chong immediately realized that the Spanish men's basketball team still had reserves from the group stage.

In this game, both their offense and defense were much sharper than in the group stage, and they also employed a set of defensive tactics against Wang Chong.

It sounds easy to say, but in reality, there is only one defensive tactic to target a player like Wang Chong, who has distinct characteristics, an absolute height and wingspan advantage on the perimeter, and is almost invincible offensively: double-team him.

However, unlike the previous double-teams Wang Chong faced from various teams, the Spanish men's basketball team made every effort to increase the intensity against Wang Chong and formed a full-team double-team.

Although this would put other Spanish men's basketball players in a 3-on-4 situation on the court for a long time, the strength of the other Chinese men's basketball players was obviously weaker than that of the Spanish team, and even with three players, they couldn't easily build a zone defense system.

Of course, no matter what kind of zone defense is played, it is impossible for 3 players to defend against 4 players. The Chinese men's basketball team only needed to play with a bit more patience to easily create open shooting opportunities.

But still, the Spanish men's basketball team did not hesitate and resolutely carried out the idea of forming a double-team with Wang Chong, because in their view, even if they allowed Chinese basketball players, including Dayao, to attack, it would be worse than letting Wang Chong's offensive scoring be stronger.

It must be said that the strategy of the Spanish men's basketball team was very accurate.

When Wang Chong was double-teamed, his chances of touching the ball were significantly reduced. He only scored 10 points in the first half, although his 11 points in the second half were still the second-highest on the Chinese men's basketball team, only behind Dayao, who scored 14 points. However, as a super scorer who averaged 30 points per game during the Olympics, Wang Chong was unable to score efficiently, which was a passive disadvantage for the Chinese team.

In the first half of the game, without Wang Chong's help, the Chinese men's basketball team was still able to compete with the Spanish men's basketball team thanks to the performance of the outside shooters, mainly Yao Yao, A Lian, and Zhu Fangyu, who were inseparable, and the score continued to rise steadily.

But as the game moved into the second half, the constant weakness of the Chinese men's basketball team began to show: physical conditioning.

First, it was Dayao. The rapid depletion of physical strength greatly reduced Dayao's offensive firepower. And Dayao was not the only one suffering from excessive energy consumption. There was a gap between the overall physical condition of the Chinese men's basketball players and the Spanish team. Especially after Wang Chong was attacked by full-court double-teams, the Chinese players, who took on more offensive tasks, began to suffer from physical exhaustion.

Since the start of the third quarter, the Spanish men's basketball team had taken the initiative and gradually expanded the point difference. When the third quarter ended, the score was 71-65, and the Chinese men's basketball team was already 6 points behind.

Although the point difference was not large, the situation of the game in the last quarter would only worsen due to the overall physical strength of the Chinese men's basketball team.

During the break between quarters, Wang Chong sat on the bench, knowing what he had to do in the final quarter, or the game would likely be lost.

In the first three quarters of the game, it was not that Wang Chong didn't try, but the Spanish men's basketball team did an excellent job of double-teaming throughout the game, reaching an almost frenzied level.

No matter what action Wang Chong made on the court, the two defenders would be inseparable. One was in front of him, and the other was always positioned between Wang Chong and the ball handler, not giving Wang Chong any chance to catch the ball.

Wang Chong tried running without the ball to shake off the opponent, but the effect was not obvious. After all, the opponent had two players, and whether it was running in transition or running in place, the court was so large that one player would always follow closely behind, and with a little moderation, the other could catch up and form a double-team again.

And Wang Chong couldn't rely on his teammates' pick-and-roll screens. If one player was blocked, other players would immediately cover, and the coverage was almost perfect.

I have to admit that Wang Chong's ability to break double-teams was still slightly inferior to James, Kobe, and other players who also had this weakness. It wasn't because of his personal skill, but because he didn't have as strong a body as James or the top speed of Kobe Bryant's defender. Strength and speed are the most critical factors in breaking double-teams. However, these two are not Durant's strengths, so in the case of a double-team, it is difficult to break through with personal skill.

But in the NBA, Durant rarely faces double-teams because in the NBA, no matter how weak a starter is, they can't stay out for long. It would be crazy to form a double-team against a central player on the field, as it would completely hand over points to the opponent.

Therefore, a double-team can only be formed once the target player has the ball.

Durant's technical characteristics mainly involve shooting. He doesn't need to hold the ball to break through like James and Kobe, so when he holds the ball and realizes the opponent wants to double-team, he can take the lead and shoot. As long as he gets airborne, with Durant's height and wingspan, double-teaming is pointless.

Even if the time hasn't come, and he can't take off and shoot, Durant can still opt to pass the ball, and his teammates can use their offensive scoring to punish the opponents who easily attack him.

The problem now is that under the current circumstances, this situation is not true. Wang Chong can't rely on others and can only find a way to break through the double-team on his own.

Fortunately, he really does have a way.

Wang Chong, who was sitting on the bench, slightly closed his eyes and entered the system's consciousness space at the next moment.

When he arrived at the badge module, Wang Chong looked at the dazzling array of gray and white deactivated badges, and his eyes quickly focused on an ordinary badge.

"Movement without a ball: improves a player's ability to move without a ball. Players can run more effectively through dense defensive lines and increase counterattacking speed. Occasionally, defenders will be confused and slow to react and run out of space."

There is no doubt that this is not the primary badge of a central player, because central players rarely rely heavily on running without the ball to find scoring opportunities. The one exception may be future Warriors star Stephen Curry.

The most representative figure in the league who plays off the ball is the Pistons' famed Hamilton, known as a mid-range shooter. His offensive scores represent a very high proportion of receptions and shots after running without the ball. He rarely plays singles with the ball.

Originally, Wang Chong had no intention of considering running without the ball badge. After all, as an iconic figure in standing singles, Durant's style is singles with the ball. Wang Chong, who has Durant's growth template card, is the best. singles with the ball, so the most profitable badge is actually the badge that can make Wang Chong's individual ability with the ball more efficient, rather than the no-ball movement badge, which can only be effective without the ball.

But the current situation no longer allows him to make multiple decisions. He cannot increase his strength or speed in a short period of time to the point where he can easily break through the opponent's double team. Therefore, the best way he can think of. It is to use his magnificent invincibility. The ball escapes from the opponent and has the opportunity to shoot.

The activated badge was immediately transferred to the badge wall and the type of this badge was actually planned as organization badge.

Wang Chong was under the impression that in the 2K game, non-ball movement badges should be classified as shooting badges, but if you think about it carefully, this classification of the system is reasonable.

Strictly speaking, off-ball movement is not directly related to shooting. It is a preparatory action to obtain an open shooting opportunity. In theory, it is the same as Stop Master, a gold-level badge held by Wang Chong himself. Since it is urgent, Stop Master also belongs to the organizational badge, and it is no wonder that the no-ball movement is classified in the organizational badge.

Wang Chong just made sure that the badge was current and then opened his eyes.

At that time, Yunus was still explaining the tactics of the last quarter to the players with a tactical board. All the Chinese men's basketball players, including Dayao, were panting and wiping their sweat with solemn expressions.

Of course, they all know that the situation is not optimistic for them. If they fail to advance, they are likely to stop at the semifinals and, at most, they will only be able to compete with Lithuania for the Olympic bronze medal.

What's even worse is that they can't count on Wang Chong at this point.

Everyone has seen the intensity of the defense Wang Chong encountered in the game. He faced double teams of the Spanish men's basketball team for the whole game. In this situation, if you can still complain about Wang Chong's inability, then he won't be able to. gain advantage in 4-on-3 for a long time. Do other players deserve a break? As long as they made a little effort, Wang Chong would not be restricted by such extreme defensive tactics on the court.

But at this moment, Wang Chong spoke up.

"In the last quarter, I'll figure it out."

For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on Wang Chong, but he continued with a calm look on his face, "I will try my best to get rid of the opponent with off-ball movement in a while, everyone help me cover without the ball., As long as I have a chance to touch the ball, I will find a way to help the team win the game."

Movement without the ball?

Wang Chong also tried it in the first three quarters, but it didn't work? Do you want to try it again in the last quarter?

Although he didn't have much hope in his heart, since Wang Chong said so, he still wanted to try.

--

"The rest time has passed and now the players from both sides are back on the field and are about to prepare for the last game in the last quarter."

In the CCTV studio, director Sun's tone was quite solemn.

"The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the Chinese men's basketball team. Not only is it 6 points behind, but the physical condition of the players is already on the verge of the limit and there is no way to break the Spanish men's basketball team's double-double. -Team in Wang Chong."

Director Zhang also shook his head with some disappointment, "It seems that two fists are still difficult to beat with four hands. Wang Chong is indeed a superstar who can bring miracles to the Chinese men's basketball team, but he hopes that only one person can do it." "It changes the whole Chinese basketball team." The current situation is still a bit unrealistic. We need more players to step up, instead of just relying on a few players like Wang Chong and Dayao on the court."

As he spoke, the game on the field had already begun.

The Spanish men's basketball team still sent two players to defend Wang Chongyan.

However, in less than 10 seconds after the game started, everyone saw Wang Chong suddenly emerge from the crowd inside, run straight to the outside to receive a pass from his teammates, and then carefully lift the knife and drop it with his hand . .

"Aha!"

The crisp sound of the basketball hitting the net rang out.

Three points are valid!
