Chapter 416: The Flag Bearer for the Opening Ceremony (Fifth Watch)

"Breakthrough, yes, good, pass the ball to the right, strike!" Coach Guo clapped his hands twice and nodded with satisfaction.

On the court, Zhang Guan completed a breakthrough, and then passed the ball to Dayao at the moment when the inside player rushed to defend, and then Dayao shot directly and easily hit a mid-range shot.

This is the most basic combination of breaking through and splitting the ball, and it is also a set of tactics that Zhang Guan and Dayao have been practicing and are familiar with. At present, it seems that the effect of this tactic is quite good, at least for Dayao, as long as he can receive the ball more comfortably, he can basically score smoothly.

"Zhang Guan, when passing the ball for a while, it can be slightly higher. I am not afraid of your passing high, but I am afraid of your passing low. If you pass low, I bend down to pick up the ball, and then get up to attack, and the opportunity will be lost. It is." Dayao said.

"Okay, I try not to pass the ball too low." Zhang Guan said.

On the sidelines, Coach Guo said to Yunus: "I think the cooperation between Dayao and Zhang Guan is becoming more and more tacit."

"After all, Dayao is the world's number one center forward. I'm not surprised that he can familiarize himself with tactics in such a short period of time. On the contrary, Zhang Guan has a very good understanding, and he has already been able to skillfully use breakthrough points. Coach Yunus went on to say, "Some of Zhang Guan's breakthroughs should be able to better restrain Dayao's defense. Zhang Guan's breakthroughs are too sharp, and it is difficult to defend one-on-one. The help defense of the inside players is good, if the opponent uses the defense around the front, it is not easy to help the defense."

Coach Guo nodded, while Coach Yunus continued: "Zhang Guan's progress has exceeded my expectations. I think the second step of tactical training can be implemented. Let the general participate in it."

"Could it be too fast? After all, Dayao and Zhang Guan have only been working together for a few days before, and this kind of tactic of breaking through and splitting the ball still puts a lot of pressure on the defender." Coach Guo said.

"The Olympic Games is coming soon, time is not waiting for us, we must hurry up." Coach Jonas finished speaking and picked up the tactical board.

...

"Zhang Guan, in this tactic, you are the one who breaks through with the ball, so you are also the most important part." Coach Jonas said while drawing on the tactic board.

Zhang Guan has fully understood this new tactic. To put it bluntly, this set of tactics is very simple. Dayao is outside the three-second zone, and the other three players are all outside the three-point line. Pull out the space inside, and then let Zhang Guan make a breakthrough. Once the opponent comes up to help defend, it will inevitably cause damage. When the player facing the defender is in neutral position, Zhang Guan will pass the ball, and the player in neutral position will complete the attack.

Of course, Dayao should be the first point of receiving the ball. The one facing Dayao is the center forward of the opponent. Facing a breakthrough, he must be the first to come up to defend. Yao's shooting rate near the three-second zone, as long as he can catch the ball comfortably, is basically two points, and if he is lucky, it will cause 2+1.

Roughly the second catch point. In order to open up space for Zhang Guan to break through, he generally needs to stand outside the three-point line. The general three-point shooting rate is very high, and with his height, it is difficult for outside players to interfere with the general shooting, so the opponent will definitely send one. There are tall strikers to mark the general, so that the rebound will be more open, making Zhang Guan's breakthrough easier. When Zhang Guan breaks through, if the striker dares to come up to help defend, as long as the ball is passed to the general, it must be a good three-pointer opportunity.

Therefore, the core of this set of tactics still depends on Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan needs to choose the best time to break through, needs to attract the opponent's players to defend, needs to judge whether to pass the ball or directly attack the basket, and if he passes the ball, he needs to look at the pass. To whom, if it is passed to Dayao, try to ensure that he can receive the ball comfortably, and if it is passed to roughly, it must be as fast as possible to prevent the opponent's defensive player from being in position again.

Whether the whole set of tactics can work depends on Zhang Guan, a breakthrough player with the ball, and this is not a small test for Zhang Guan. Basketball is not only a skill-based sport, but also an experience-based sport. Especially for offensive initiators, experience may be more important than technology.

In addition, execution is also a big problem. Some players have a strong understanding of tactics, but they lack the ability to execute tactics, and tactics will also fail.

Yunus knew that Zhang Guan had a high level of tactical literacy, but he did not expect Zhang Guan to be familiar with a set of tactics in a short period of time, but Zhang Guan's performance was far beyond Yunus' expectations. In half a day, he can already skillfully use this set of tactics of breaking through and scoring.

Looking at Zhang Guan on the court, Yunus sighed: "Perfect, the timing of the breakthrough, the choice of points, Zhang Guan's ability to execute tactics is perfect. I have never seen such a talented player!"

"Yes, Zhang Guan is the best athlete in our country." Coach Guo turned his head and said, "Coach, maybe we can raise our goal for the Olympics."

...

"Zhang Guan, drink water!" Dayao handed the water bottle to Zhang Guan, sat beside him, took a sip of water, and said, "I received a call yesterday from the Capital Olympic Organizing Committee, and they asked me Would you like to be the flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the Olympics? I declined, and I recommended you to them."

"Recommended me? Why? That's the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!" Zhang Guan said.

"It's not that I have never been the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. During the Athens Olympics, I was the flag bearer of the national team! I was very tired after going back and forth to rehearsals." Dayao said.

"Thanks to your rehearsal, I was able to stop by and buy a lottery ticket. The first pot of gold in my life!" Zhang Guan sighed.

"You won't have a chance to buy a lottery ticket this time." Dayao showed a signature smile, much like the emoji in the future, and then he continued: "Actually, my leg injury is still not healed. I was planning to play in the NBA playoffs." After the end, I recovered from my injuries, but it’s almost time for the Olympics, so I can’t even rest if I want to. Olympic rehearsals are a waste of time for me, if I have the time, I might as well go for a few more physiotherapy sessions.”

"Is the leg injury serious?" Zhang Guan subconsciously looked at Dayao's legs.

"It's okay, I can't be disabled, it's all old stress injuries, rest more, and I'll be fine!" Dayao patted his thigh, and then said: "I have to seize every opportunity to rest now, so I directly I recommend you to be the flag bearer. I know that you are very energetic, and you are more famous than me, so it is most suitable for you to be the flag bearer for the opening ceremony!"

The fifth chapter is delivered, the chapter of the Olympic Games will officially start tomorrow, the first day of the month, ask for the next monthly pass!
