Chapter 123 Battle against Türkiye
In Shanghai, the venue for the Chinese team in the second round of the group stage, the first time they encountered Turkey led by Kanter and Osman.

Mu Xiaobei successfully jumped the ball and once again won the first wave of possession for the Chinese team.

Mu Xiaobei mentioned that the top of the arc was Guo Ailun’s pick-and-roll, and Bilson was firmly blocked by Mu Xiaobei. After Guo Ailun dribbled the ball, he saw that Kanter didn’t go up to grab it. He pulled back and stepped back to make a shot. .

Swah——

Guo Ailun took the lead in opening the situation for the Chinese team with a three-pointer.

"Strike Guo Ailun, in the NBA, Kanter belongs to the kind of offensive kaleidoscope and defensive player. His skills on the offensive end are very delicate, and the tonnage and strength are sufficient, but the defensive end is slow. It’s not good, it’s easy to be targeted,” said Yu Jia.
"Especially in the current basketball world that emphasizes misplacement, speed and space, Kanter is indeed easy to be targeted on the defensive end, and Kanter has just returned to the Turkish national team. Except for the four kings, he is still familiar with him, but he is still familiar with some newcomers. The time may not be considered familiar." Zhang Weiping said.

It is true that Kanter and Turkey had some unhappiness, but Turkey is his homeland after all. In the end, Kanter returned to the Turkish national team and the two sides reconciled.

It's like inviting James to join the Knicks after spraying James, he is such an outspoken person.

Kanter played Mu Xiaobei with his back and singles. Mu Xiaobei was a little hard pressed by Kanter, and then the bench was evacuated, making Kanter a little staggered, and his heart was a little confused.

???

Isn't this a rookie?How can you be such a badass player?Remember when he was just a shy kid the last time he played on the road in San Antonio?

No one answered Kanter's question, only the referee's whistle woke Kanter up.

Looking at the referee's walking gesture, Kanter spread his hands helplessly. Rhythm is very important when hitting back. It takes strength and weight to push the defender. The combination of the two is very important.

Kanter looked at Mu Xiaobei's relative thinness, and wanted to bully him, so he didn't have the skills to master his back-hitting skills, but he didn't expect that he couldn't steal the chicken, and was blown away by the referee instead.

Mu Xiaobei once again mentioned that he made a pick-and-roll for Guo Ailun from the high position. This time Kanter defended him, and Mu Xiaobei immediately cut outside to a 45-degree angle one step away to open up space for Guo Ailun.

Guo Ailun was not in a hurry to rush in immediately, but pulled Cantera out, dribbled the ball continuously from outside the three-point line, and the last crossover swayed to Kanter's center of gravity, and then took a step back to the left to make a three-pointer.

Swah——

Guo Ailun hit a three-pointer again, and the opening two three-pointers gave the Chinese team a [-]-[-] start.

"A good goal Guo Ailun, this goal gave a very powerful response to the international arena, that is, the Chinese team is no longer the Chinese team it was five years ago." Yu Jia said.

"The ball is a good shot, but don't go up first, which is what netizens say is poisonous milk. Turkey's advantage has not yet been played out. Their biggest advantage is that the positional battle slows down the pace, while our characteristic is the fast-paced defense and counterattack. , so the lineup is a little bit contradictory, this game is not as easy to play as the opening." Zhang Weiping said.

Osman followed the pick-and-roll and cut to the basket. This young man can be said to be a strong contender for the most improved player this season, and he is also one of the Cavaliers' key training targets.

This season in the NBA, Osman's performance is impressive, whether it is the impact of breakthroughs with the ball, or the hard work on the defensive end, or the stability of the three-point line, or the threat of cutting without the ball. Saw the potential in this lad.

He is facing up to Xiaoding, who is also this type of small forward. He is also good at catching and shooting outside the three-point line, the impact of breakthroughs with the ball, and hard work on the defensive end. It can be said that these two young people are two players with very similar playing styles.

"Beep——" the referee blew the whistle, signaling Ding Yanyuhang to draw a foul, and Xiao Ding spread his hands. He has already lost his position with the ball, and fouling is the best choice.

The reason why Turkey is a strong team is not only strong in their NBA players Kanter, Osman and 76ers rookie Fultz (not the No. 27 pick, but a No. [-] pick), but their lineup, the team system and culture.

The biggest feature of the Turkish national team is toughness, daring to put on the body, and daring to confront.

This has been the team style and culture of the Turkish national team for many years.

Many times we feel that Kanter is a bit soft on the defensive end. In fact, he is not soft, he is just a bit slow.In fact, Kanter's confrontation ability is still good.

Osman made two free throws, and the Chinese team won the ball and handed it over to Zhao Jiwei to control the field.

Mu Xiaobei and Zhou Qi made an off-ball screen from the waist position, Zhou Qi came out, Zhao Jiwei happened to pass the ball, and Mu Xiaobei cut to the basket at this time.

Zhou Qi shot directly from one step away from the three-point line. In the group stage, he shot a three-pointer directly from one step away, which happened to be the distance from the NBA three-point line. It can be seen that the hot zone of shooting distance cultivated by the Rockets has deepened. blood.

The trend of three-pointers is not unreasonable. We can see that the evolution of NBA trends seems to be a process from big to small, from the inside behemoths in ancient times, to the way Jordan told the world's shooting guards, to D'Antoni's whirlwind play However, in the current defender era, three-pointers are becoming more and more important.

When we talk about scoring explosiveness, as the name implies, it is the ability to get a lot of points in a short time. When we discuss this ability, who are we often discussing?

Curry, Clay, Gua, McGrady, Kobe, Ray Allen, and the era before that is too long, let's not discuss it.

When they perform explosive scoring performances, three-pointers are often a particularly critical factor. For example, when McGrady scored 35 points in [-] seconds, wasn't it just consecutive three-pointers?
In the past, the Chinese team's three-point shooting has always been a shortcoming, but now, Mu Xiaobei and Zhou Qi are both good three-point shooting players. Guo Ailun's three-point shooting has become very stable. Li Nan took Zhao Rui to the national team And he was given a lot of playing time because of his three-point shooting ability.

In addition to Xiaoding, Zhao Jiwei and Abdul Saramu are also good three-pointers.

Now, the three-pointer has actually become a conventional weapon of the Chinese team, and it is also a very stable weapon.

With three insiders with NBA rotation strength, the Chinese team's insiders are very strong, but they did not play hand-to-hand combat like Yao Ming, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Zhizhi in his era, but played fast breaks and space.

In this way, the Chinese team and Turkey chased after each other in the first quarter, and they played evenly. By the end of the first quarter, the Chinese team had already led Turkey by 24 to 23 by one point.
