Chapter 796 Halftime Draw
If more than [-]% of the people were not optimistic about the Tianchao men's basketball team before the start of this game, then after the first game, at least one-third of them have renewed their expectations for the Tianchao men's basketball team.With the efforts of all Chinese men's basketball players, not only were they not defeated by the Argentine men's basketball team, but they even took advantage and gained a certain lead in the score.

I have to say that the Argentine men's basketball team is indeed not the strongest opponent the Chinese men's basketball team has encountered in this World Cup.Even if they didn't lead by much, they didn't exert that kind of absolute suppression in the game.But everyone can see that compared with the previous Spanish men's basketball team and Australian men's basketball team, the Tianchao men's basketball team showed a much more relaxed state in this game.

One of the biggest reasons is that the Tianchao men's basketball team has a height advantage.No matter which position on the court, the players of the Argentine men's basketball team are shorter than them.Although playing basketball does not necessarily depend on height, but in the game, the side with the height advantage will basically have much higher control over the penalty area.In the first quarter of the match between the two sides, the Tianchao men's basketball team grabbed 12 rebounds, while the Argentine men's basketball team only grabbed 5 rebounds, less than half of the former.What's even more exaggerated is that among the 12 rebounds grabbed by the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team, half of them were offensive rebounds.This is no small disadvantage!This means that the Argentine men's basketball team allowed the opponent to play at least six second attacks in these 10 minutes.And if they weren't so passive inside, a large part of these rebounds would be grabbed by the Argentine men's basketball team, and then they would launch a counterattack to score.With one increase and one decrease, maybe the Tianchao men's basketball team is not leading now.

In addition to the disadvantage of rebounding, the Argentine players also suffered a little when they were facing the Chinese players on the court.For example, in the No. 2 position, Campazzo is really capable, and his passing and offense are stronger than Guo Ailun.But he only sent 5 assists in the first quarter, while Guo Ailun had 13 assists.This is also the impact of Guo Ailun's height advantage.The eldest nephew, who is [-] centimeters taller than his opponent, used his better vision and wider passing space to send out good shots repeatedly, helping An Luo, Yi Jianlian and others to score many beautiful goals.

Hernandez certainly understands his team's shortcomings, so he always reminds the Argentine players to play the advantage of speed.He is very clear that if he wants to win this game, it is absolutely impossible to count on Scola's outbreak.They can only have a chance to win if they give full play to their advantages and bring the game into a rhythm they are familiar with.It's a pity that the Tianchao men's basketball team was not included. They were very patient. Whether it was offense or defense, the Tianchao players always played according to their own ideas.Slowly and steadily to score, also slowly and steadily to defend.

What Li Nan asked the Chinese players to do in the game seemed very simple.The offensive end implements tactics seriously, and shoots decisively when the opportunity comes out. The big men on the inside protect the rebound and strive to get a second chance to attack even if they fail to make a shot; the defensive end uses strong physical contact to continue to put pressure on the opponent , even if the Argentine players are better at physical confrontation, they may not be able to gain the upper hand, but with such a defensive intensity, the opponent's offense will inevitably be greatly affected.

In many cases, doing a good job of what you can do is a very successful thing in itself.In the first quarter, the Tianchao men's basketball team did well, while the Argentine men's basketball team did relatively poorly.Therefore, they became the party behind.However, this is just one game.There are still three quarters to go, and the Argentine men's basketball team will not be discouraged now.

Hernandez was cheering on his players during the intermission. Half of the analysts had some problems in the first 10 minutes of the game. He repeatedly emphasized the two points of speed and rhythm. He was sure that it was the Argentine men's basketball team. A place that is stronger than the Chinese men's basketball team.

"Di!"

A few minutes of rest time flies by quickly!Under the urging of the referee, players from both sides returned to the field.In the second quarter, neither Hernandez nor Li Nan put all their main players on the court.The two "old guys" Scola and Yi Jianlian could only sit on the bench and watch their teammates fight on the field.Together with them are An Luo, Brussino and Garino.An Luo was deliberately put on the sidelines by Li Nan to rest for a while, but he certainly wouldn't rest for too long.As for Brussino and Garino, I am afraid their lives will not be so good.These two guys are really not as good as Dyke and Pralovittola on the bench. Hernandez needs to be on the court with good players.

Zhou Qi served from the bottom line, and after Guo Ailun saved the ball, he held the ball and pushed forward.The contest between the two sides officially kicked off in the second quarter.

After a very ordinary pick-and-roll tactic, Guo Ailun easily rushed to the basket.However, Delia's defense was changed in a timely manner. He put Guo Ailun on the first time, raised his arms high, and tried his best to prevent the latter from making a shot.Guo Ailun didn't flinch, he exerted force under his feet, and the entire left half of his body was directly attached to Delia's arms, his right arm was stretched out long, and he picked the ball to complete the layup.

This set of movements can be described as smooth and flowing, but unfortunately, after the basketball spun around the hoop, it flew out.The rebound was rushed to the basket by Deckard. He didn't stick to the ball. With his left arm, he threw a round to Campazzo who was outside the three-point line.The latter had already been activated the moment Deckard grabbed the rebound, so when he directly touched the basketball while marching, he had already taken the lead on the field.

No one caught up with Campazzo. Although Fang Shuo caught up in time on the outside, he was still more than one body behind the opponent.In the end, everyone could only watch helplessly as the little man who was less than 180 centimeters across the field like a bolt of lightning and easily scored the ball.

This ball opened the prelude to the fast-paced offense of the Argentine men's basketball team.The next offensive state of the Tianchao men's basketball team is not ideal. Perhaps it is because of the cold hands after a few minutes of rest, and several mid-range and long-range shots have not been made.This allowed the Argentine men's basketball team to seize the opportunity and overtake the score in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Li Nan called a timeout in time to interrupt the trend of the game that was getting worse and worse for him.Immediately afterwards, he replaced Yi Jianlian and An Luo on the field again, and then stabilized the situation.Moreover, with the return of Yi Jianlian, the Tianchao men's basketball team regained control of the area under the basket, and the offensive efficiency began to pick up.By the end of the second quarter, the two sides had a 51:51 tie.
