Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

After Lian Feng made that three-pointer, the Chinese team already led the Greek team 8-3.

During the timeout, the morale of the whole team was high.

"Come on, just fight like this."

Yao Ming patted Lian Feng on the shoulder.

After playing again, the Greek team really adjusted their tactics.

However, when his opponent showed off his defensive tactics, Lian Feng felt that it was not as scary as he imagined.

After several rounds, Lian Feng discovered that the Greek team's defensive focus was still Yao Ming, and their zone defense was still disgusting.

The restriction on Lien Fu is actually nothing more than that when he does not have the ball, the Greek defensive players move forward and at the same time constantly use body contact to prevent the ball.

"It turned out that their idea was to make me tired after catching the ball?" Lian Feng was observing the Greek team's tactical arrangement while running.

But I have to say that the players on the Greek team are really athletic, and their physical fitness is not inferior to that of the American team this time.

How could a strong team that upset Dream 7 be defeated without a few tricks? The Greek team does have an advantage in terms of physical strength.

Although this kind of defense is simple, it is indeed very effective.

Many people took turns marking the forward, and he was unable to receive the ball in a comfortable position for several rounds.

Three-point shooters tend to be shooters with a soft touch, relying more on the rhythm and feeling of shooting, so they can just stick to the body with one move. As long as they stay close to the body, they cannot make three-point preparations, and the rhythm will be disrupted, so they will naturally be defensive.

As soon as Lien Feng receives the ball, his opponent moves forward to disrupt Lien Feng's shooting rhythm.

Lien Feng's mid-range shot is indeed very stable, but that doesn't mean he can ignore defense.

The opponent's interference destroys the shooting rhythm, and the stability will drop off a cliff. Therefore, even if the hit rate is extremely high, it is impossible for the Lian forward to mess around.

"Humph..." Lian Feng suddenly understood the Greek team's routine.

"If that's the case, I'll play with you!"

Lian Feng didn't panic at all.

Under the rules of the world men's basketball team, this 3-point bug is too unsolvable. As long as the Greek team continues to defend themselves, they will be the ones who will be consumed!

"My physical strength will indeed be consumed, but two or three of you must take turns running to effectively restrict me!"

Lian Feng knew very well that his physical strength would indeed decline rapidly due to this kind of stalking, but the price paid by the Greek team was that two or three people would suffer the same physical decline!

Lian Feng also quickly adjusted his style of play and began to pass the ball constantly and at the same time began to move around without the ball.

The Greek team's inside line is indeed like a quagmire. Once it enters, it is difficult to get out.

It has to be said that Lian Feng did feel the pressure on this Greek team.

Their defense is indeed very good! Everyone knows that the best way to break a zone defense is three-pointers. However, this Greek team has been able to strictly limit the space for the forwards to shoot, and at the same time, through strict movement and communication,

The defense inside is not lax.

Indeed, Lian Feng was restricted. He didn't have a good opportunity to make a move, so he chose to break through, but he was squeezed in more and more, with two or three people waiting to double-team him.

"If... I had invincible post-up skills, this situation would be easy to break."

Or there is another way, that is, the Chinese team's outside lines can bloom more.

As long as two or three players have three-point ability, it will be difficult for the Greek team to limit them.

However...several times, the forward passed the ball to his teammates, and when it circulated around, the ball either returned to his own hands, or was given to Dayao inside.

Or, the shot missed. Everyone else's outside touch today was not very good. Except for Lian Feng, the one who made the most three-pointers was Wang Zhizhi, who made 3.

Very helpless.

Lian Feng somewhat understands why this Greek team is capable of defeating the American team.

Many people think that the NBA star team will definitely be able to crush the international men's basketball team. In fact, this is a very outrageous misconception.

Yes, NBA players do have top physical talents, speed, strength, basketball skills, and even physical strength, but the NBA and the international men's basketball team have two different rules of the game.

The three-point line is too short, there are no 3 seconds, and almost every team sets up a zone defense. No matter how powerful their breakthrough ability is, they will not have much effect.

It will be difficult for pure NBA players to adapt to the rules of international men's basketball. Therefore, the American team usually presses the whole court from the beginning, forcing their opponents to make mistakes, and then uses their physical fitness and lineup depth to win.

Therefore, when they met the Greek team, which was very physically fit, and the American team's outside perimeter was too tight, they naturally couldn't win.

The Chinese team in history also faced this kind of dilemma. The Chinese team, which originally started very smoothly, even led by more than 10 points in the first two quarters, but in the second half, the Chinese team's physical strength dropped seriously, and at the same time, the Greek team showed

122's pressing tactics immediately overwhelmed China.

The current situation is similar to the beginning of history. They both started with the Chinese team leading by a big score.

But the difference from history is that... the lead in history was the advantage established by the outstanding performance of Yao Ming, Wang Shipeng, and Arab League, but now it is the advantage created by Lian Feng alone.

The difference is... Lian Feng alone can contain two or three opponents!

This makes the physical exertion of the Chinese team inside not so great, and also makes the physical exertion of the Greek team much greater than that of the Chinese team.

"They won't last long!"

Sure enough, as the game progressed, the Greek team's speed gradually slowed down, and the forward was able to find opportunities again, taking long shots from outside the three-point line (crossed out, mid-range shot), 5 of 7.

At the end of the first half, thanks to Yao Ming, the inside play of the Arab League, and Lien's three-pointers from outside the three-point line, the Chinese team entered the second half with a 13-point advantage of 44 to 31.

However, the price is that Lian Feng's physical strength is severely exhausted.

"Damn, those boys are really stalking me."

Lian Feng gasped and took a sip of water.

Yunus arranged for Lian Feng to rest for a while.

Lian Feng wanted to refuse, but he hesitated and agreed.

"If I don't rest, I really won't be able to run anymore."

There is no way, even if Kobe Iverson replaces Lian Feng's style of play, he has to rest now. Strong offensive points will often choose a weak point of the opponent to defend when defending, so as to conserve their physical strength for attack.

However, Lian Feng also charges the fiercest and most aggressively when defending. Coupled with the opponent's focus, the physical exertion is naturally huge.

"Hopefully, me taking a break won't be a turning point."

What Lian Feng was worried about soon happened.

The Greek team suddenly adopted the 122 pressing tactics that had defeated the Chinese team. Under the extreme pressure, the Chinese team's backcourt made consecutive mistakes.

The score gradually caught up.

"The national team's defender weaknesses are too obvious during this period."

Lian Feng couldn't help but frown.

At the same time, Yonas was frowning. He changed defenders several times to control the ball, but none of them produced a good effect.

At the same time, the Greek team began to exert force on the outside.

The outside shooters headed by Spanoli suddenly found the feeling, continued to exert force, hit three-pointers one after another, and suddenly caught up with the score, and finally took the lead!

Lian Feng couldn't help but think of his eldest nephew who was criticized many years later... To be honest, in the international arena, there were not many defenders in China who could have his eldest nephew move the ball to the frontcourt so steadily.

The sudden decline made the ordinary fans who were originally excited and felt that the Chinese team was about to make history anxious and angry.

In front of the TV, many people cursed those Chinese defenders.

"Why don't you let Lian Feng come in?"

"Where is Lian Feng? How can we let Lian Feng go down at this time!"

"Is Yunus mentally ill?"

As if he heard the cries of the audience, when Chen Jianghua made another pass error, Yunus looked at Lian Feng.

"I'll go."

Lian Feng understood.

In the last quarter, under much anticipation, Lian Feng took off his sportswear, revealing his No. 9 jersey (the number is 9 in international competitions) and took the field again.

The Chinese fans who came from far away cheered when they saw Lien Feng playing again.

At this time, the Greek team led by Spanouli had already scored 11 three-pointers, which could be said to have bombarded the Chinese team with long-range firepower.

The first thing after coming on the field, Lian Feng came to the backcourt and caught the ball.

The Greek team's point guard pressed forward again.

Lian Feng sneered.

"My ball is not that easy to break!"

Lian Feng spreads his ball guard, and his height and wingspan are almost overwhelming compared to the opposing point guard.

From a visual inspection, the opponent's height is only about 1.90 meters.

Therefore, the Lian forward doesn't even need to move the ball much at all. He only needs to sideways protect the ball when the opponent tries to steal it.

The opponent began to use small moves, and made great moves from hidden angles.

"You want to force me to make a mistake?"

Lian Feng became a little angry. When the opponent pressed him with disgusting movements again, he turned his back, calculated the angle correctly, and elbowed him.

The Greek defender lost his balance and fell to the ground on the spot.

However, the referee did not blow the whistle and determined that it was a fair ball.

Lien Feng will not stand still, he will throw away the opponent all of a sudden, sink the ball with a spring pressure, and throw the ball easily.

The ball went in again.

A three-pointer, Lien Feng has made his 8th three-pointer today!

Calm brother Yu Jia is no longer calm: "Lian Feng alone is about to catch up with the opponent's team's three-pointers!"

Before Yu Jia finished speaking, this joke became reality.

The Greek team responded by turning around and hitting a three-pointer from the baseline.

Lian Feng sneered. He had noticed that the speed of the entire Greek team had slowed down.

"After all, they are still human beings, and it is impossible not to be tired as human beings. Especially after such a huge consumption in the past!"

The most intuitive feeling is that they can't run anymore. When Lian Feng attacks, the discomfort of being constantly disrupted by the rhythm is gone.

So, Lian Feng began to exert his strength.

One three-pointer after another.

When the Greek team had no choice but to double-team, Lien Feng relied on his height and vision advantage to pass the ball out. At this time, after Lian Feng pulled him, the inside space was very empty. Without double-teaming, Yao Ming was invincible.

In the end, in this game, Lian Feng used a terrifying 64% three-point shooting rate and a total of 12 three-pointers, almost single-handedly defeating the Greek team's perimeter group.

His 12 three-pointers in a single game also set a new record for three-pointers in a single game at the World Championships.

The Chinese team successfully won the game 87 to 81.

After this game, the entire basketball world was in a state of excitement...
