Chapter 424 Ranking Up
Just after halfway through the second quarter, Huaxia opened the point difference to double digits with Chen Jianghua's breakthrough layup, which is also the biggest point difference from the beginning of the game to the present.But what made Xu Hao curious was that Australia had no idea of ​​calling a timeout at all. Their head coach just called Mills to the sidelines and said a few words, patted his ass and let him go.

Xu Hao's English is not bad. When Mills conveyed the coach's instructions to his teammates, he also vaguely heard the words "speed", "pick and roll" and "shooting", but he didn't know the specific arrangement. .In Xu Hao's view, now that China has the advantage on the field, even if Australia makes any adjustments, it will have time to respond.

This time Australia launched an offense and did not start their skilled tactical movement. They rushed to China's basket in a swarm, messing up the defensive formation.Mills hid behind his teammates, dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and immediately took off to shoot without any tactical coordination, but his three-pointer fell into the basket.

In the next three to four minutes, Mills and other Australian players turned the game into a chaotic battle, with all kinds of unreasonable shots emerging one after another.It seemed like they didn't have any tactics, they were just running around in a haphazard manner, but the effect was surprisingly good.After all, their bodies are strong enough, and it is difficult to stop them as long as they charge forward.

Coupled with the fact that Mills and Ingles made sudden attacks from the outside from time to time, Australia actually chased the point difference to only 1 point with 24 minute and 1 seconds left before the end of the half. Deng Huade had to call immediately. pause.

The rampage of the Australian players made Deng Huade very puzzled. Logically, such tactics are difficult to achieve results. If they can not play a mess, they are considered to have excellent tactical quality. However, Australia has narrowed the point difference with this method, which makes people It's hard to understand.Deng Huade can only say helplessly that Mills is too suitable for disrupting the war.

It's not that he doesn't like passing, but he prefers to score. Among NBA teams, his position is as a bench scorer. Even if he starts occasionally, he basically doesn't undertake the task of organizing offense. It's over.Now Brown is obviously letting him play such a role, and it has achieved good results, and it seems to be very useful.

In the last more than a minute, the two sides took turns taking the lead. If Xu Hao and Sun Yue hadn't made consecutive three-pointers, Huaxia might have been overwhelmed by Australia.Even so, they failed to regain the upper hand on the field, and could only reluctantly enter the intermission with a score of 1 to 48. It is indeed a bit embarrassing to go from double digits to 47 point.

In the locker room, Deng Huade criticized everyone with regret. He really couldn't understand why Australia's rampant tactics with no technical content could achieve such results. He could only attribute it to the performance of his own players. Careless.In Deng Huade's opinion, as long as he is more cautious, he can maximize his lead.

Xu Hao was also helpless. He was full of confidence in winning this game. When the team stretched the point difference to double digits, he thought the overall situation was determined. But what he didn't expect was that Australia would soon The score difference caught up.It seems that any team that reaches the Olympics cannot be underestimated, especially those who are considered to be powerful enough to compete with the United States and Spain.

However, Australia's resistance also raised the fighting spirit in Xu Hao's heart. In his opinion, Australia's doing so was just relying on their physical fitness to forcibly bring the situation back, and it did not mean that they had a way to deal with the impact of the Chinese men's basketball team.As long as the pace of the game is slowed down in the second half and they insist on playing positional battles with them, Australia probably won't be able to jump up again.

After the start of the second half, Deng Huade used the inside combination of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, and the idea of ​​slowing down the tempo was obvious. However, he still put the hope of limiting the speed on Xu Hao. As long as he can slow the team down, the Australian players will probably vomit blood. They don't want to slowly grind out positional warfare, which is not what they are good at, and it is not convenient for Mills to score.

Xu Hao did not live up to his expectations. He deliberately lowered the team's operating rhythm, and Australia couldn't speed up even if they wanted to.Moreover, Deng Huade not only has twin towers on the inside, but also the combination of Sun Yue and Zhu Fangyu in the second and third positions. Of course, his arrangement is not to let them strengthen their offense, but to use a mad dog-like defense to chase and intercept the Australian players and prevent them from letting them go. Getting easy shots, this arrangement greatly interfered with Australia's attack.

They were forced to fight positionally, and in this respect they were obviously going to be blown up by Huaxia.Mills’ advantage in chaotic battles can no longer be brought into play. His organizational skills are actually relatively average. He withers after falling into positional battles. He is not tall enough and his performance in positional battles is relatively poor. Xu Hao is still very easy to defend him. , no stress at all.

At the end of the third quarter, Huaxia regained a double-digit lead, which made Brown's face pale on the sidelines.He didn't expect that the team's survival tactics would be restrained all of a sudden, and they would be directly suppressed by Huaxia after slowing down.

Xu Hao stayed on the field all the time. His role was to lead his teammates to stabilize the rhythm of both offense and defense, and prevent Australia from picking up its speed.This is actually something he is very good at. Anyway, now that the team has enough leads, there is a lot of space to move around, and every round can be used up to the end, which makes the Australians lose their temper at all.Deng Huade is very satisfied with Xu Hao's performance. This is what he wants to see. On the basketball court, no one cares about how many points you score and how many points you lose in a game. Anyway, as long as you score more than the opponent, it is enough. 1 is also a win.

Throughout the fourth quarter, Australia failed to organize a decent counterattack. They have completely fallen into the rhythm of China.What's more, Huaxia played very cautiously, avoided many unnecessary mistakes, and did not give Australia a chance. In the end, they successfully defeated their opponents 79-70.

After winning Australia, China's record became 2 wins and 1 loss, and replaced Australia as No.2 in Group B, taking the initiative in advancing.In Xu Hao's view, the remaining two opponents, Brazil and the United Kingdom, are nothing to worry about. As long as they don't kill themselves, it is almost a certainty to advance to the knockout round as the second place in the group.
