Many leaders were sitting in the seats close to the edge of the court. Everyone was curious about Roy's real level on the scene.
Yao Min also sat on the bench in casual clothes. He was chatting with a leader of the Basketball Association.
After receiving Chinese medicine treatment in the afternoon, Yao Min rushed to the court to cheer for his teammates.
Before the game started, he even had the leisure to go to the national team's locker room and sit for a while.
Due to Roy's presence, his pressure was reduced a lot.
At least today, he was no longer the focus of the court. Everyone was rushing to Roy.
With the results guaranteed, the leaders of the Basketball Association did not put too much pressure on him, let alone overdraw his body to put out fires everywhere when he was injured.
Instead, he was told to take good care of his injuries and not to rush back.
...
The game started with the referee's whistle under the expectation of everyone.
Angola players are very fast, and their jumping strength and explosiveness are far superior to other players on the Chinese team.
Of course, this does not include Roy, and even Yi Jianlian, who is also extremely good in physical fitness.
The starting lineup of the national team tonight: point guard Liu Wei, shooting guard Zhang Jinsong, small forward Zhu Fangyu, power forward Yi Jianlian and center Roy.
At the beginning of the game, Coach Jonas was still hesitant about whether to let Yi Jianlian replace Roy to fight for the ball,
so that Roy could concentrate on participating in the ball-holding organization, but Roy refused.
For others, it was just a slightly important cup match of the Basketball Federation warm-up match type. Winning or losing was not a big deal. The main purpose was to train the troops.
But for Roy, it was not the case at all. This was the first national team match in his life.
Wearing the uniform representing the country and gently touching the national flag on his chest, he wanted to do everything himself.
There was no suspense in the game. The opponent's 2.04-meter center was half a head shorter than him.
No matter the height, wingspan or jumping ability, Roy easily picked up the ball in the air and passed it to Liu Wei.
As Yao Min's old teammate, his ball-control style has always been known for its stability, and he moves forward slowly without rushing.
But it is obvious that the Angola team has been dominating Africa for so many years, and it is not easy to deal with it. With a short height, they play a small, fast and agile style.
Using the advantage of the whole team being small, they implement a pressure-type defense.
After Liu Wei received the ball, he was immediately entangled by the opponent. After a brief panic, he quickly controlled the ball and stabilized.
But the opponent's small guard had a long arm span, which was definitely a freak. This kind of guard arm span is rare in the NBA.
The flexible posture and speed severely restricted Liu Wei's movement trajectory. When dribbling across half court, it was particularly difficult.
This has to mention the domestic training method. It is difficult to reach a high level of dribbling in confrontation, and there is a natural disadvantage for tight defense.
Fortunately, Luo Yi was still near the midfield. He reached out and took the basketball passed by Liu Wei, and quickly came to the three-point line with the ball.
Roy, who was dribbling the ball and attacking, put a lot of pressure on the opponent. The center was excited but confused.
This was his first time facing an inside player like Roy, and he seemed a little overwhelmed.
But Roy did not give him time to prepare. He dribbled the ball quickly and changed direction. He easily passed the opponent in two steps and broke into the inside of the Angola team.
The opponent was obviously a team that had been running in for a long time, and the cooperation was very tacit.
After Roy broke through the free throw line, the two sideline players intercepted Roy's way and clamped him on the spot. Hit,
With their size and strength, Roy could have crushed them, and even shot over their heads at will,
But Roy, who had just arrived, still had to consider the feelings of the other team members, after all, he was just a newcomer,
When his teammates had an open opportunity under double-teaming,
Roy still chose to trust his teammates, stretched out his hand to avoid the defense, and passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu in the bottom corner,
Zhu Ba's three-pointer was very powerful, and he shot directly with his hand, returning Roy's first breakthrough assist.
Head coach Jonas breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Roy still took the overall situation into consideration.
What he needed more was a player with organizational skills, not a battering ram for strong inside attack.
The national team only needed one Yao Min. He had no doubt about Roy's ability, but it was too luxurious to let Roy be the offensive terminator in the national team.
Obviously Roy could do more. The national team did not lack firepower in offense.
What was lacking was someone who could bring these people together. It was obvious that Liu Wei's performance could not satisfy Jonas 100%.
Then who can play both inside and outside and is good at coordination and organization?Roy's appearance naturally entered Jonas's field of vision.
In the inner corner of the head coach's heart, which Liu Wei didn't know, the one competing with him for the point guard position was actually a power forward.
On the contrary, Yi Jianlian's position was very safe, without so much competitive pressure.
Jonas wanted to laugh when he thought about the expressions on the faces of the other players when there were three players over 2.10 meters standing on the court of the Chinese team.
Players like Roy are almost out of position when playing against anyone.
He is completely capable, and head coach Jonas can use him as an outside player. The dream of the outside ball holding core seems to be achieved so easily.
You should know that there were two necessary conditions for agreeing to coach the Chinese team.
The first is that they gave too much, and the second is that the national team promised to transfer Roy back during the game in the future.
The temptation from Roy made the famous Lithuanian coach agree to take over the Chinese men's basketball team.
Watching Roy's swift and decisive breakthroughs and smooth passing,
Coach Jonas was indescribably satisfied. With such a person on the court, the coach's work seemed to be reduced by more than half.
The Angola team obviously didn't care about the Chinese team's three-pointer. They knew their strengths very well, not on the defensive end.
Picked up the basketball on the ground and launched a fast break directly. The physical advantage was easily reflected in the Chinese players.
Liu Wei and Zhang Jinsong, who were average in physical fitness, had no way to deal with their small guards.
At the beginning, they did not limit the opponent's starting speed. After accelerating, they could not keep up with the opponent's small guards and were easily passed.
Fortunately, the Chinese team's inside players are generally young and can return to defense quickly.
Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu set up the defense within the three-point line at the first time.
But they didn't expect that the players of the Angola team had a good understanding and better cooperation.
Two or three passes during the movement directly passed Yi Jianlian and rushed towards the basket of the Chinese team.
The opponent's cooperation was obviously premeditated for a long time. The rapid interweaving and running dismembered the national team's defense and caused a lot of trouble for the men's basketball team.
Angola thought it succeeded, but don't forget that Roy was still standing under the basket.
As the mainstay of the Nets, no one has seen his deterrent power in the national team.
The Angola team got the ball with their ace player, Gomez, the MVP of the African Basketball Championship.
He rushed to the basket with a twisted smile. The African MVP wants to declare war on the NBA league MVP!
