Chapter 56 Great victory! Will you participate in the Beijing Olympics?
"Does this guy usually play like this?"
On the bench of the Chinese men's basketball team, the players all had their mouths open.
"It's so cruel that I don't even want to go up and confront him." Sun Dasheng said, rubbing the back of his head.
It seemed like he was joking, but in fact he was speaking his mind.
Liu Xiaoyu, Chen Jianghua, and Wang Zhongguang were all substitute guards. Anyone who wasn't blind could see that Chen Yan's personal ability was clearly higher than that of the men's basketball guards by more than one level.
"What do you think of him?" Li Nan turned to look at Du Feng.
"Super high level..." Du Feng gave a thumbs up.
As the game continued, Chinese men's basketball coach Yunus kept yelling from the sidelines.
For Yunus, whether he wins the game or not is secondary. What he wants to see is that the Chinese men's basketball players play tougher and execute the tactics he arranged before the game.
In the past games, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team has been a bit soft. If they have not developed the habit of being tough in the warm-up games, let alone expect to suddenly become tough in a competition like the Olympics.
Tonight, the players of the Chinese men's basketball team played much harder than in the previous two games, the overall thinking was quite clear, and the tactics were basically implemented.
Liu Wei's breakthrough pass, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng's crossfire from the outside, Arab League's absolute advantage inside and Wang Zhizhi's shooting range throughout the half helped the team to cling to the score.
On the other side, the Suns' tactics are also very rich and varied, including Chen Yan's 1v1 singles tactics, Chen Yan's offensive and defensive transition fast break tactics, covering Chen Yan's catch-and-shoot tactics, pick-and-rolls to clear all tactics for Chen Yan...
..
These Suns Summer League teammates are also happy to pass the ball to Chen Yan.
Because their passes to Chen Yan were basically converted into assists.
These players need good statistics in order to win a guaranteed contract. Points are increased by statistics, and assists are also increased by statistics.
Smart players started passing the ball to Chen Yan early, such as point guard Banks, who got 7 assists before halftime, 6 of which came from Chen Yan.
After halftime, the Phoenix Suns beat the Chinese men’s basketball team 45 to 37.
This lineup is the golden generation of the Chinese men's basketball team, and its overall strength is far stronger than imagined.
Chen Yan vaguely remembered the scene in the previous Beijing Olympics when they defeated Germany, narrowly lost to Spain, and had an inseparable half-time battle with the American men's basketball team.
Although Dayao is currently out due to injury, the team's strength is still online.
But Chen Yan also knows that this Chinese men's basketball team has a fatal flaw, and that is physical fitness.
In the previous Beijing Olympics, the Dream 8 team pressed the Chinese men's basketball team crazily due to their declining physical fitness, which ultimately led to the complete collapse of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Chen Yan is also planning to play like this in the second half, which can be regarded as helping the Chinese men's basketball team adapt in advance.
"In the second half, increase the intensity of the opponent! Come with a full-court press!"
Chen Yan called all his teammates together during halftime.
Chen Yan's call quickly received a response from his teammates.
Although the personal abilities of this group of players participating in the summer league are generally not good, their physical strength is at the level of animals, and they just like to chase their opponents and grab the ball all over the field...
At the beginning of the third quarter, Sun Zhengping said in an expectant tone:
"After halftime, the Chinese men's basketball team trailed by only 8 points. It seems that we have a chance to win our first win in this summer league today!"
As soon as this statement came out, the Chinese men's basketball team failed to score a goal for 2 and a half minutes...
The players of the Chinese men's basketball team did not expect that the Suns would adopt a full-court double-team tactic at the beginning of the second half!
It’s so heartbreaking!
Although the intensity and pressure of the Suns were not at the same level as those of the previous Dream Team, the sudden intensity still made it difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to adapt and made many mistakes.
"Chen Yan stole the ball again! During this period, the Chinese men's basketball team began to make more mistakes."
"It's impossible to get past halftime when faced with a full-court press, and it's easy to lose the ball when faced with double teams. This is a problem that the Chinese men's basketball team must overcome now!"
After Yu Jiagang finished speaking, Chen Yan, after stealing the ball, had already sprinted to the frontcourt alone!
Seeing this scene, the fans at the scene stood up collectively!
Just when the fans thought Chen Yan was about to fly for a dunk, he suddenly slowed down and made a mediocre layup.
The fans spread their hands and sighed.
The fans' reaction immediately amused Chen Yan.
In fact, it's quite fun to tease the audience occasionally.
Yunus immediately called a timeout. If the Chinese men's basketball team did not adjust its tactics, it would be taken away by the Suns in the third quarter.
Yunas tried to change the formation and sent in a double point guard combination of Chen Jianghua and Sun Yue.
Trying to use two young point guards to break through the Suns' full-court double-team and rush through their defense.
Chen Jianghua is a very unique player. He is very fast and dares to make moves, but his shortcomings are also obvious. He likes to play blindly in singles, and he has no weight and no confrontation. This directly leads to his high number of mistakes in every game.
No less...
He is more spiritual than Liu Wei, but his stability is much worse than Liu Wei's, and his desire for performance is too strong, so he is only suitable as a surprise soldier.
Chen Jianghua was very excited as soon as he came on the court. He passed two people and scored a beautiful reverse layup. However, he made two mistakes in the next two rounds.
This is basically a true portrayal of his game. There are highlights, but it does not really help the team much.
Unlike Hua Tsai, Sun Dasheng focused on the defensive end as soon as he came on the court.
Seeing Chen Yan with all his firepower, Sun Dasheng had one thought in his mind, that is, to give him a try!
He was very confident in his shot blocking, and several times when Chen Yan broke through, he followed behind or beside him, trying to sneak attack.
But Chen Yan had already seen through Sun Dasheng’s intention. This guy’s desire to overthrow Chen Yan was almost written on his face, right?
Chen Yan not only failed to let Sun Dasheng succeed, but instead took advantage of his eagerness to block shots and beat him to 21 twice in a row, beating Sun Dasheng to the point of losing his temper!
Soon, Sun Dasheng changed his mind.
If you can't block the shot, then you will commit a foul!
After three rounds, the Suns took advantage of the Chinese men's basketball team's mistakes to switch offense and defense again!
Chen Yan took the lead and crossed the halfway mark!
Banks made a long pass, handed the ball to Chen Yan, and then hung up, waiting for the assists to increase.
Chen Yan continued to accelerate after catching the ball!
The accelerator is all the way down!
Sun Dasheng saw the opportunity and transformed into a disciple of the Crotch Covering Sect. He stood in the penalty area with his eyes closed and waited for the referee's whistle for an offensive foul.
As a result, what Sun Dasheng waited for was not the referee's whistle, but the wailing of the basket and the bursting cheers of the fans!
"Boom!!"
"wooooow! What goal is this? What goal is this?"
"Unparalleled footsteps!"
"Great dunk!"
"I have completely become a fan of Chen today!"
Sun Dasheng had not yet realized what happened.
After looking up at the replay on the big screen, he realized that it turned out that Chen Yan had used the Gao He Fan Footsteps at the moment of contact with his body, and the electric light and flint directly passed over his head!
Sun Dasheng shook his head. Even if he could complete such a large step change at high speed, how could he still be able to dunk in the end?
He really can't guard against such a player...
The guards of the Chinese men's basketball team were taken turns by Chen Yan. Yunus also tried to defend him with forwards, but the effect was also not good.
Regardless of whether Zhu Ba, Coach Du, Zhou Peng or Ding Jinhui faced Chen Yan, they all have a natural disadvantage, and that is speed.
Chen Yan passed them basically in one step, without any technical movements.
In the second half of the third quarter, Yunus even used a double-team tactic against Chen Yan.
On the one hand, he wanted to restrict Chen Yan as much as possible, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test Chen Yan's reaction when faced with double-teaming.
At this time, Chen Yan was on full fire and in great condition!
For him, double-teaming cannot be said to be a big gap, but a medium gap.
Chen Yan made sudden shots and continued to score points, already looking like he was going berserk!
At the end of this quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team also scored some wonderful goals. Arab League broke through and dunked after a test step, and Da Zhi dribbled back and stepped back for a three-pointer, but it was a drop in the bucket.
The team's overall offensive and defensive rhythm has been disrupted, and they are unable to prevent the point difference from being further widened.
At the end of the third quarter, the Suns' lead expanded to 24 points, and the game had basically lost its suspense.
Chen Yan did not play in the fourth quarter. He was afraid that if he continued to play, he would damage the relationship with his future teammates...
The Suns defeated the Chinese men's basketball team 85-67, with Chen Yan scoring 48 points in 3 quarters.
The walking scoring machine is online again!
The Chinese men's basketball team suffered another disastrous defeat, but domestic fans are optimistic.
"Who said the Chinese men's basketball team lost? If Chen Yan's 48 points are added to the Chinese team's scoreboard, it means we have bloodbathed the Suns, okay?"
Immediately after the game, reporters from CCTV Sports found Chen Yan and interviewed him.
"Chen Yan, what do you think of the overall strength of the Chinese men's basketball team?"
"It's very strong, the players have a tacit understanding of cooperation, and their tactical execution is also online. However, the current Chinese men's basketball team is not complete yet. After Dayao comes back, the team's overall offense and defense will be improved to a higher level."
"You didn't play for a minute in the fourth quarter. Is it your own wish or the arrangement of the coaching staff?"
"For me, summer league is all about warming up and staying in shape, so I play too long in every game."
"Domestic fans are now calling for you to join the national team. Will you join the national team and represent China in the 2008 Olympic Games?"
"This is my honor. Playing in the national team jersey is something I have dreamed of since I was a child, especially on a stage like the Beijing Olympics! But this is not my decision. I have to be called up by the country first."
"Okay, thank you for accepting the interview with CCTV Sports. I hope to see you in the national team as soon as possible."
