Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

In the previous group stage, Lien Feng only made a total of 5 three-pointers, and only attempted one per game on average.

But the hit rate reached a terrifying 4 out of 5!

However, since the number of shots was not many, it was not obvious and no one noticed it. Even Lian Feng himself did not pay special attention to it.

Lian Feng is deliberately hiding his three-point ability.

"In the group stage, I basically relied on breakthroughs and mid-range scoring. The Greek team will definitely respond to this in the next quarter-finals."

Although this Greek team did not have the later Antetokounmpo, it was still a strong team! Historically, they upset the American team and finally won the runner-up place in this World Championship.

You can imagine how difficult it is to beat this team.

Lian Feng has decided that the 1/8 finals is the best time to show off his three-point ability!

"Actually, international competitions are quite unfavorable for the US team. What the US team is best at is breakthroughs. James, Wade, and Anthony are very capable of breakthroughs during this period. However, because the three-point line distance in international competitions is too short,

So almost all teams will use zone defense."

"The entire inside line is crowded, and those top NBA stars have less advantage in breaking through."

"In the past few games, I was able to rely on breakthroughs to achieve results, relying on Dayao's containment. But in this game, they will definitely be targeted."

The biggest difference between the Greek team and the opponents they encountered in the group stage lies in their zone defense capabilities.

Their zone defense ability can make James and Wade want to cry. It is definitely not difficult to restrict Yao Ming and prevent Lian Feng from attacking effectively.

Lian Feng knew this very well and had been prepared for it long ago.

There are many ways to break a zone defense. Among them, the most direct way is the three-point shot.

Previously, Lian Feng gave everyone the impression that he had no three-pointers.

Moreover, the tendency to shoot three-pointers is also very low. This makes no one care about Lian Feng's three-pointers.

This is what Lian Feng wants.

After a few days of rest, the match against the Greek team officially started.

The Greek team adopted a regional defense posture from the beginning.

The Greek team's zone defense is of high quality. When each of them defends their own area, the tacit understanding and communication between teammates is very good. The opponent has to shout when he crosses the bottom line, when he is blocked, and in the twilight zone. He can do it right from the start.

To hear them, you need to shout loudly in a foreign language.

Encountering such a zone defense is the biggest headache. They have strong communication and tacit cooperation. Historically, they relied on this disgusting defense. The Chinese team could not find a chance after several rounds of running and passing. In addition,

The 122 pressing tactics used at the beginning of the third quarter caused the Chinese team, which originally maintained the lead in the first half, to collapse.

The key is...the Chinese team's outside line is not strong either.

In the end, he was crushed by more than thirty points.

However, history has changed.

The Greek team had just set up their proud 23-zone defense when Lian Forward took a step forward and received the pass at the edge of the three-point line. Seeing that the defender had no intention of approaching, Lian Forward was not polite and pulled up high with a signature shot.

He made a pull-up and made this three-pointer from the edge of the three-point line!

The Greek team didn't take it seriously and continued their tactics.

At this time, Yao Ming was full of energy and successfully defended the opponent's inside player's offense under the basket and gained the ball.

Wang Shipeng advanced with the ball. Facing the pressing, he decisively passed the ball to the forward who came to respond.

After Lian Feng caught the ball, he took a quick step, causing the opponent to cross-step and follow up in a hurry. Then he immediately followed up with a large and fast pull back. His superb ball control skills almost knocked down the opponent who was several centimeters shorter than him.

opponent.

Lian Feng arrived outside the three-point line very easily. At a glance, the Greek team was full of people inside. Yao Mingchen came in to ask for the ball, but the chance was obviously not very good.

Lian Feng took off again without hesitation.

This time, the defender at the top of the arc moved up. Unfortunately, facing Lian Feng's jumping height, he was unable to interfere successfully.

Lien Feng's three-point jumper has the charm of Tracy McGrady's unsolved pull-up!

Originally, Lian Feng was just trying, but he didn't expect that the shot hit again.

At this time, Lian Feng himself was a little surprised.

What's going on with these 3 points?

Two consecutive three-pointers hit, and the feel is a bit incredible. This seems to be explained by the feel, but if you compare his shooting percentages in the previous games together, it would be terrifying!

6 out of 7. Valley

It makes no sense. Even if he has three-point shooting skills, but his shooting rate is not high, even if the stability is good, the three-point shooting rate will not be such an exaggerated one.

Suddenly, an incredible thought occurred.

"No! I know where the problem lies! The reference objects in my system are all based on NBA standards. But the rules and venue settings of the NBA are a little different from those of international competitions."

"One of the biggest differences is that the three-point distance in international competitions is shorter!"

The distance between the NBA three-point line and the basket is 7.25 meters. According to FIBA ​​standards, this distance is only 6.25 meters. Therefore, the NBA three-point line is 1 meter longer than the domestic three-point line!

Lian Feng's expression suddenly became excited.

"In other words, if you shoot within 1 meter of the three-point line of the International Men's Basketball Team, the system will actually judge it as a mid-range shot!"

In fact, for ordinary athletes, this half-meter distance makes no difference. Even NBA players are often not good at shooting 6.25-meter "long two-pointers" because they are accustomed to the 7.25-meter three-point line.

You must know that no matter which star takes a long two-point shot, the frequency and efficiency are extremely low. Therefore, those who shoot long two-pointers may not be as comfortable with three-pointers. The U.S. team's three-point shooting rate so far this year is even less than

30% is the proof.

However, it is different for Lian Feng who has a system.

"The distance of 1 meter directly allows me to enjoy the mid-range effect when shooting from the edge of the three-point line! In other words, I can shoot three-pointers with the same shooting percentage as the mid-range shot!"

This speculation made Lian Feng extremely excited.

"If that's really the case, it would be terrible."

Lien Feng's mid-range shooting percentage can easily be stabilized at over 60%! Even if the hot zone level of the two-point distance is 0 and does not enjoy the stability bonus of hot zone shooting, it can easily remain at an exaggerated value.

above.

Suppressing his excitement, Lian Feng participated in the defense. He was waiting for the next opportunity to test whether his guess was correct.

Soon, the opportunity came.

Greece's offense was also very smooth. Spanoli, known as "European Kobe", hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line to retaliate against the Chinese team.

In the next round, the Greek team still adopted the zone defense tactics, but obviously focused on the forwards.

Lian Feng came out from the top of the arc and asked.

The national team will not be selfish at this time. Lien Feng has proven that he is not only excellent in the NBA, but also a big player in the international arena.

At this time, Lian Feng's touch was obviously very good, so when he wanted the ball, it was almost like wind or rain.

Yao Ming very smartly came out to pick and roll for Lian Feng. Lian Feng took a step forward and jumped up rhythmically.

"Today Lian Feng's touch was very good. He made two out of two from three points in the opening game. Let's see how this goal goes."

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and hit the ball steadily!

"Hey! Today's Lian Feng feels really good. So far, he has scored 3 out of 3 from the start!"

Subsequently, the Greek team decisively called a timeout.

Yu Jia, nicknamed the "Commentary Calm Brother", said very relaxedly: "It seems that the Greek team is a little scared. They made 3 of 3 three-pointers at the beginning, and the zone defense became a joke. Even I was anxious."

Yang Jian on the side said with a smile: "If the Chinese team has a basket on the outside, it will be difficult for the Greek team to win this game. In the previous games, the Greek team relied on tight organization and defense to win, and their defense broke through.

He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but facing Lien Feng who was so hot today, it was very difficult to play."

The two joked easily.

Lian Feng took a sip of water during the timeout, and Yao Ming patted him on the shoulder: "I feel good today!"

Lian Feng smiled: "Let the outside line play in the front, and when they defend the back line, the pressure on the inside line is less, and then I will give you the ball to solve it!"

Yao Ming said very relaxedly: "If you are accurate, I will shoot for you the whole game! We have rebounds."

When he said this, Yao Ming's eyes looked very confident.

Yes, the Chinese team's inside line is much higher than that of the Greek team. The Greek team only has a fat man guarding 206. Not to mention Yao Ming, even facing Zhang Songtao, there is no advantage.

Lian Feng's eyes sharpened, and he was completely sure that there was indeed a huge BUG in the World Championships for him!

What is the concept of 60% three-point shooting ability?

"Such a terrifying three-point shooting rate scares me myself. Let alone the top 8, using this, even the championship... is not impossible!"
