The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

James' best and most lethal move is to rely on his weight and explosive power to break through and hit the basket to cause lethality.

But such a move has little effect when the opponent always has two big men on the inside. Although he also has the ability to make three-pointers from the outside, his stability is significantly different from other members of the US team participating in the Olympics this time.

Thompson, Irving, George, Durant... These players are all players with extremely accurate outside shooting ability.

Wang Xiao can probably imagine that without James, these people would have more ball possession and opportunities, and they would be able to hit more three-point shots from the outside. Although Spain can build a line of defense on the inside relying on its height , But there is no way to expand the defensive range beyond the three-point line, which is one of the reasons why the US team won more easily in another time and space.

It's not that James is not strong enough, it's just that under the rules of international basketball, he has become a burden for this team at certain times.

To solve this situation, there are nothing more than two options.

The first is to replace James with an outside player who is better at shooting three-pointers than him.

The second is to change the lineup and let James play his most accustomed one-star four-shot tactic.

In Wang Xiao's view, neither of these two solutions is currently the best solution for the US team.

First of all, the first option is unlikely, not to mention whether James will accept the substitute position, even the old K does not have the courage to let James, one of the strongest players in the team, squat down on the court.

As for the second option, it is even more ridiculous. If the first option is to offend James, then the second option is to offend other stars besides James.

Looking at the entire American Dream Team, which player is not the star of their respective teams? Even if you James have many fans and are strong, it doesn't mean that I will be willing to be a spot-up shooter for you, right?

And taking a step back, even if everyone is willing to use James as a tool for victory, this tactic is still flawed, and that is the inside line.

One-star shooting means that the other four players except James must have good shooting ability. In other words, it means that in order to improve shooting ability, the inside offensive and defensive capabilities must be sacrificed.

There is no perfect thing in the world, and there is no such thing as a stable mid-range and long-range shot in the league, and at the same time, the physical fitness is still top-notch, which can resist Hao Peng's inside presence.

Perhaps the peak Anthony Davis in a few years' time can barely count as half.

The reason why it is half instead of one is mainly because Davis's outside shooting ability is not stable, and although Brother Nongmei has been selected to the best defensive team, but the weight is there, can he resist his weight exceeding 20 catties? Hao Peng is hard to say.

What's more, Hao Peng is not even afraid of Dunn, the best defensive player, let alone Brother Nongmei.

All in all, the current American team does not have the conditions to form a star and shoot, and it is also difficult to have the courage to press James to death on the bench. The legendary coach can only create as much convenience for James as possible in the tactical running position.

If Wang Xiao can grasp this point in the next game against the US team, then he will have a greater chance of winning the game.

Of course, before that, Wang Xiao and his Huaxia men's basketball team still need to get rid of their opponents in the semifinals.

...

An hour after the match between the U.S. team and Spain, the semi-final between the Huaxia men's basketball team and the French men's basketball team began on the same arena.

In fact, there was no suspense in this game. Gobert couldn't defend against Hao Peng, and the French team's outside line couldn't compete with the three top NBA outside lines of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team.

At the beginning of the game, Jeremy Lin had the upper hand in the matchup with Parker, making various forced breakthroughs and reaching the inside lane.

Parker has nothing to do about it. At the age of 34, he has gradually lost the speed and explosiveness he relied on in his youth. For a defender who relies on speed to win, this is very fatal.

In the group stage, Jeremy Lin could easily defend against Parker in one-on-one defense, and at the same time easily beat him in one-on-one offense. How could it be possible for Wang Xiao not to arrange more targeted play?

In the first quarter of the game, the main tactic of the Huaxia men's basketball team was to let Jeremy Lin play singles. Except for Hao Peng, who is not good at mid-range and long-range shooting, he also made some linkages with Jeremy Lin on the inside. .

Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, and Yi Jianlian, the existence of these three fixed forts made the French team completely afraid to use zone defense. After all, Jeremy Lin is more frightening than attacking because of his wide vision and accurate and just-right passing.

In the first quarter of the game, Jeremy Lin made 4 of 7 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 5 two-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 11 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. The basket also easily established an 8-point lead at 24:16 in the first quarter.

By the end of the second quarter, Jeremy Lin's personal data has become 17 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and the point difference between the two teams has also reached more than 10 points.

In the second quarter, the French team switched defenses, which successfully reduced Jeremy Lin's scoring efficiency, but Jeremy Lin can still use assists to help the team.

At the same time, Hao Peng and Cheng Jie also began to make efforts.

Hao Peng scored 12 points in the second quarter, and Cheng Jie made 3 three-pointers in a single game in the third quarter, scoring 10 points.

The performance of the two directly led to the further collapse of the French team.

By the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams had reached more than 20 points, and the overall situation was set.

There were no disturbances in the fourth quarter of the game. The French team wanted to try to chase points, but there was no strong scoring point in the team that could score consecutively. They could only watch the game time pass by.

At the end of the game, it also represented that the Huaxia men's basketball team made history again. For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, it reached the final of the men's basketball event, and it will guarantee a medal no matter whether it wins or loses.

The French team, which lost the game, will compete with Spain, the loser of the other semi-final, in the third and fourth qualifying matches to determine the bronze medal.

...

When the game was over, Wang Xiao's phone rang off the hook.

Many people called Wang Xiao to express their congratulations, including Wang Xiao's family, senior leaders of the Basketball Association, and major media.

Wang Xiao lightly led the Huaxia men's basketball team to create a new record, and in China, the miracle he created has begun to cause a sensation all over the country.
