Rookie's breakthrough
On the sidelines, the coaching staff was surprised.
"What's the matter? Can't even pass the half-court! Zhang Guan's defense is so oppressive! There are no flaws at all. I haven't seen this type of defense in the CBA, even foreign players can't do it!" Coach Guo said.
Coach Guo was also a player of the men's basketball national team when he was young. After retiring, he became a coach. Now he is also the head coach of a strong team in the CBA and serves as a booster coach for the men's basketball national team.
"Zhang Guan's defense was indeed very successful this time, but there were also factors in which the white team underestimated the enemy. Zhang Qingpeng's failure to change to the breakthrough directly led him to lose his first move, and no other player from the white team stepped forward to respond. Coach Yunas continued, "But Zhang Guan surprised us a little. He hasn't participated in a formal basketball game, and he can make the experienced Zhang Qingpeng not pass the half."
"Perhaps this is just an accident!" Coach Guo said, "The offense can be improved by training for a short time, but the defense must not be able to be developed within a few days, especially for young players."
Zhang Guan had a successful defense and the red team got the ball again. In the next attack, the ball finally passed through Zhang Guan's hands.
Zhang Guan got the ball, Li Nan immediately approached, but at this moment, Zhang Guan suddenly accelerated.
"Breakthrough!" Li Nan wanted to retreat to the mark, but was a step behind, Zhang Guan drilled past his body.
"The speed is so fast!" Li Nan was shocked. At this time, he found that with Zhang Guan's speed, he couldn't stop him.
"Zhang Guan broke through! One step passed! The breakthrough was easy!"
"It's worthy of being Zhang Guan, who broke Li Nan with speed alone!"
Li Nan also sighed in frustration, Zhang Guan's speed is indeed very fast, but if he is was five or six years younger, he will certainly not be so easily broken, but this year he is 34 years old, for a basketball player it is said that the body has entered a downhill period, and many basketball players with more injuries will even retire at this age, and his footsteps are not as flexible and agile as when he was younger. Faced with this pure speed breakthrough, Li Nan seemed to have no way, at this time he can only hope that inside players can make up for defense.
In the coaching staff on the sidelines, Coach Yunas sighed quietly and shook his head silently.
"Li Nan is a very good player. His style is tenacious and he is good at fighting tough battles. Unfortunately, he is a bit older. Although he still plays very well in the CBA leagues, the intensity of the Olympic games is not comparable to CBA, especially when he meets young and physically strong opponents, he seems to have suffered a lot in defense."
At this point, Zhang Guan has broken through to the rim and he is ready to make a layup.
But there was a center of the white team sitting in the basket, that is Zhang Kai, who has been standing under the basket to protect the basket.
There is no defense for three seconds in international basketball rules, so in international games, traditional centers are more advantageous, because they can stand in the three seconds zone for a lot of time, they can stand in the basket and wait for the opponent to impact, Don't worry about being punished for a three-second violation.
Zhang Kai has a height of two meters and one twelve. His speed is very fast, and his bounce is also very good. Whether it is a rebound or a block, it is very strong in the CBA and has a good ability to shoot in the short and medium distance. Passing is very good inside.
At this time Zhang Kai saw Zhang Guan rushed to the basket and stepped forward to defend without hesitation.
The physical contact of the two people is very common near the restricted area, and the inside players have long been used to the feeling of close combat.
Physical contact between a center and a defender is not necessary to know the result. However, today's situation is different from what everyone expected. Zhang Guan hardened Zhang Kai's defense and directly laid up the layup.
"Shoot..." Basketball flew into the basket.
"Go in! Zhang Guan scored this point!"
"Beautiful, foul on Zhang Kai, back in!"
"It feels like he made this easy layup!"
After all, this is Zhang Guan's first point, everyone gave symbolic applause, but the coaching staff on the sidelines especially Yunas frowned in dissatisfaction.
In the goal just now, Zhang Guan scored into the basket and had a physical confrontation with Zhang Kai in the defense, but Zhang Guan did not have any circumvent moves. He completed the entire set of layups smoothly and moved the ball up, which means that Zhang Kai did not interfere with Zhang Guan's layup. This time, they faced off and Zhang Guan won.
A two-meter, one-two power center, but lost to a one-meter, nine-two guard in a physical confrontation, of course, Coach Yunas will feel very dissatisfied.
"Zhang Kai is still too thin. Although he is an excellent insider, he can't fight against the body. He can't adapt to the intensity of the Olympic Games. But he didn't expect him to be good. We still have Yao!" Coach Yunas thought of this and suddenly was relieved a lot.
Although Zhang Kai is flexible, his weight is not high. He is a very thin player. He has a height of two meters and two, but he weighs less than 100 kilograms, which is about the same as Zhang Guan. When the two men weighed the same, Zhang Guan was far superior to each other in strength and explosiveness, so Zhang Guan won easily with this physical confrontation.
...
The practice game continued, and Zhang Guan performed very well on both offense and defense.
During the offense, Zhang Guan only used one move to break the layup but made the entire white team's defense useless. Whether it was speed or physical, Zhang Guan had an absolute advantage. He successfully ripped the opponent's defense with a breakthrough.
Breakthrough, breakthrough, non-stop breakthrough, as long as Zhang Guan holds the ball, he will make a breakthrough, and every breakthrough will be able to succeed.
Coach Yunas has long known that Zhang Guan has the world's top breakthrough ability, so it is not surprising to him. Instead, it is coach Guo next to him who was surprised.
"This breakthrough, the speed, timing, choice, are all superb! No player in the CBA has such a breakthrough, that is, those black foreign aid breakthroughs cannot reach this level. Instead, when they are watching NBA games, those players will have this kind of breakthrough. I can't imagine that we Chinese can even have such a great breakthrough player!"
Coach Guo thought about it while turning his head to look at Coach Yunas, and found that Coach Yunas had lifted a corner of his mouth, and he was about to smile.
"Is Coach Yunas not surprised? I understand, it must be that Coach Yunas knew Zhang Guan had this level of breakthrough, so he recruited him to the national team! I said Zhang Guan is an athlete. How can he enter the men's basketball national team? It turns out that Zhang Guan's breakthrough is the best offensive option for killing opponents in the key ball. Yunas, this is a clever trick." Coach Guo suddenly remembered the other day. The media and fans questioned Zhang Guan and laughed involuntarily.
"Those people are still questioning Zhang Guan. With this breakthrough, he is enough to stand on any team in the CBA! I think the day Zhang Guan will appear in the game, the world will be surprised!"
