After the game with the French team, the Chinese team had a post-match reflection in the dormitory.

Gong Luming didn't get angry, but he still criticized the whole team.

"We lost the game against the United States after all! Even though we lost, we still lost! We lost the ball, but we didn't sum up and pay attention to it. We met different opponents, but we still didn't play the effect we should have. Now that we are here, we still have to give The people of the whole country have handed in a qualified answer sheet!"

After Gong Luming finished speaking, Li Liang took the initiative to criticize himself.

"I still scored a little less, 10 more points and we won."

What Li Liang said made sense, but no one dared to nod.

Then, Li Liang and everyone briefly analyzed the reasons for the loss to the French team.

Li Liang didn't say much about the reasons for the failure.

Because of the Olympic Games, the same opponent may only meet once.

It doesn't matter if you lose to a certain team, as long as the next opponent wins.

The opponent of the Chinese team in the next game is Australia.

Before the start of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team had a warm-up match with Australia and won.

Australia is different from France in that they are not sending the second team, but the authentic main force of all members.

Such an Australian Chinese team can win, even if it is a warm-up match, it will have a psychological advantage.

Secondly, in terms of lineup and style of play, the Australian team is actually more inclined to American style of play.

While France is a typical European style of play, Li Liang has more ways to deal with American-style teams and is more used to it.

Teams playing European style of play are relatively weaker, especially on the defensive end. They are not sensitive to the tactics of European teams and their command is not very good.

After some summarization, on August 8th, the whole team did not go to the beach to watch the waves.

The whole team stayed in the training hall to make tactical preparations and adjust their status.

The Chinese team's style of play has not changed, it is still one shot and four steals.

Gong Luming made more detailed tactical arrangements and personnel rotations.

Make sure that when Li Liang is not on the court, the Chinese team can withstand the pressure of Australia's offensive.

Li Liang has been training his ultra-long-range three-pointers all day to find his three-pointers.

In the last game against France, he only made 5 of 15 three-pointers, which was the main reason for the Chinese team's loss.

After the two games, Li Liang has made more than 30 three-pointers, which is quite scary.

But there is no way, for the Chinese team and Li Liang, this is the most efficient and labor-saving way of playing.

Li Liang reduced the mid-range jumper, and the rest of the offense was a breakthrough to the basket or a close-range emergency stop jumper.

But if the opponent thinks that Li Liang has no middle distance, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

...

On August 9th, the third match of the Chinese team was against Australia.

Tonight, the Chinese team will wear white jerseys, while Australia will wear green jerseys with yellow borders.

Like the French team, Australia's starters are also one-of-a-kind NBA players.

Bogut, Baynes, Dellavedova, Anderson, Joe Ingles are all players who are playing or have played in the NBA.

The game is about to start, and this game is very important to the Chinese team.

Standing in the middle circle, Bogut is stretching, as if doing radio gymnastics.

Li Liang stepped forward and said to Bogut: "It's okay, it won't hurt later, I will take it easy."

Dazui didn't talk back.

You'll know it after playing too many matches with Li Liang, so it's best not to talk back.

It is better to play well than to have energy.

Especially Bogut, because he was beaten for talking back, it is better to be careful.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team has been adjusted compared with the previous game.

Zhou Qi, who was originally starting, was replaced by Wang Zhelin.

Although the level of the two of them is about the same, that's it.

But generally speaking, Wang Zhelin's offensive ability is stronger.

Judging from the situation of the last game, with Wang Zhelin inside, Li Liang can have an extra point of passing assists.

In Zhou Qi's case, his autonomous offensive ability is still a bit weaker, he concedes too many balls, and his hooks and footsteps are not stable.

In this way, Yi Jianlian still jumped the ball with Bogut in the middle circle.

The Australian team took the lead in gaining the right to attack.

Anderson asked for the ball in the low post at the beginning of the game, and hit Wang Zhelin with his back.

Anderson once played for the Houston Rockets and also partnered with Yao Ming, so Chinese fans are quite familiar with him.

As a result, Wang Zhelin withstood Anderson's back and forced him, and also caused an offensive foul by Anderson at the beginning of the game.

As for the Chinese team, they didn't give the ball to Li Liang as soon as they came up.

Guo Ailun used Wang Zhelin's cover to kill the basket from the outside. Facing Bogut's defense, he made a difficult fadeaway jumper and hit two points on the board!

The Chinese team needs to rely on Li Liang, but other players cannot completely lack the ability to attack independently.

Wang Zhelin and Guo Ailun's one offense and one defense gave the Chinese team a good start.

Subsequently, the Australian team made another pass error in the attack, the ball went out of the bottom line, and the Chinese team took the ball out of bounds.

The Chinese team started with a high defensive intensity.

Li Liang asked everyone to concentrate on defense.

He didn't want to have a scene where he was seventy or eighty points behind in the opening game and then struggled to catch up.

Wouldn't it be good to take the lead early and overwhelm the opponent?

Australia have won their first two games.

One victory over France, one victory over Serbia, and both were big victories.

It is enough to show how powerful Australia is.

So in this match against China, even if China has Li Liang, they still took it lightly.

For a foul, Li Liang handed the ball to Guo Ailun. After halftime, Li Liang began to pick and roll Guo Ailun.

This is a tactic that rarely appeared in the first two games.

In fact, Li Liang is very good at outside pick-and-rolls.

After the pick-and-roll, Li Liang immediately cut outside, received a pass from Guo Ailun, made a fake three-point move to shake off the defender, and cut to the basket from the middle.

Both Bogut and Anderson came to help defend, Li Liang threw a high toss to the inside, Yi Jianlian jumped high, and succeeded in an alley-oop dunk!

The Chinese team played a good offensive cooperation in the opening game.

That's the offense they really need.

The Australian side played quite rigidly.

It's still a low position, and this time it's Bogut's singles.

China does not double-team, let Bogut play Yi Jianlian.

After Bogut turned his back and hooked his left hand, Yi Jianlian was very smart, and he took a step back, which made Bogut a little unstable.

As a result, the ball was hooked too big and failed to score. Li Liang got the backcourt rebound.

He saw the opportunity and sent a long pass to Ding Yan Yuhang who was about to come down. Xiao Ding rushed to the basket and made a layup.

The Chinese team opened the game to the Australians 6:0!

Li Liang did not score, all from other players.

These three rounds are very important for the confidence of young Chinese players.

After Li Liang came to the Chinese team, it is impossible to say how much the technical level of other players has improved.

It's not a system of people.

And for more than two months, there is not much time for system training.

A large number of game-based training is mainly used for running-in, and the improvement of skills and tactics is limited.

But after Li Liang came, the biggest effect was to improve the confidence of the players and give them the confidence to compete with strong teams.

Before Li Liang came, the Chinese team was running sideways in Asia, but they showed timidity when they beat the strong European and American teams.

Why show cowardice? It is that there are often some inexplicable balls in the game.

For example, he didn't dare to shoot for an open spot, but wanted to pass, and the result was a mistake.

I didn't dare to play one-on-one singles, hesitated, and made a mistake.

When a foul was required, he was not decisive and was beaten 2+1.

On the one hand, this low-level mistake is due to technical and physical problems, and on the other hand, it is due to lack of psychological confidence.

Obviously you can vote by yourself, but you have to pass it on. I am afraid and feel that I cannot enter.

Obviously able to play singles, facing better defenses in Europe and the United States, if you are not strong, you will be strong, but your technical moves will be deformed.

Apart from Li Liang and Yi Jianlian, the national team of this year was on the court, and all kinds of ugly low-level mistakes occurred.

But Li Liang led the whole team to play game by game and win game by game, telling them that we can win.

Confidence is always built in victory.

A player with confidence and a player without confidence, even if they have the same skills and body, their performance on the court is absolutely different.

Australia launched an attack again, and Ingles didn't have a chance to pass it out after hitting the basket.

High Anderson received the ball, did not dare to shoot, and wanted to pass it in to Bogut.

As a result, the pass was peaceful and was slapped away by Yi Jianlian.

Li Liang got the rebound and launched a fast break.

It is possible to play fast against Australia, this is not against the United States.

This time Li Liang didn't pass the ball, he used his incomparably strong body to attack Australia's three-second zone.

Ingles of the chicken thief wanted to make a foul at the basket, but he regretted it the moment he was knocked down by Li Liang.

Feel like dying!

Ingles was hit directly, but Li Liang still made a layup.

The referee hesitated, whistled, and called Ingles' foul!

Additional penalty!

Li Liang and his teammates clapped hands.

The Chinese fans on the sidelines, holding the national flag, danced happily.

This is a good start.
