Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 382 Max Level Account, That's How Confident I Am

"nice shot!"

The host, Yang Jian, exclaimed in surprise.

During the Olympics, Yang Yi, the commentator for the men's basketball team, immediately chimed in, "That's Yao Ming for you; you simply can't defend him."

"Many centers move out of the paint and have no scoring ability, but Yao Ming is different; he can shoot three-pointers."

"And look at his movements, he raises his arm very high. Just when he shoots, it's exactly the time when you reach out to block him. At that moment, the ball is released, and he draws a foul on you."

"The key is that it's accurate; it feels like I just tossed it in casually."

Yang Jian, who was standing next to him, said, "Yao Ming really mastered the three-pointer. In a previous interview, he said that last season, even on game days, he would do extra practice and would often shoot hundreds of three-pointers."

"So the reason he can shoot so accurately is because he has put in amazing effort and hard work."

Amidst their praise, Yao Ming calmly sank the free throw.

Spain attacks.

Harris played a twin-tower lineup in this game.

When Yao Ming and Bartel both took to the court, their dominance under the basket was incredibly intimidating.

FIBA does not have a three-second rule, making the paint area incredibly crowded.

In this situation, Spain's option is to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

With a quick pass, Gasol set a screen, and guard Jose Calderon hit a three-pointer.

Upon seeing this play in New York, Tang Sen knew that winning this game for the men's basketball team would not be an easy task.

Even with Yao Ming, it wouldn't work.

No matter how good Yao Ming is, how many points can he score in a FIBA ​​game when the paint is full of players?

I'd give it a maximum of fifty points.

Moreover, Tang Sen believed that if Yao Ming scored high points himself, the men's basketball team would only lose even more miserably.

Because everyone else was thinking about how to get the ball to Yao Ming, instead of attacking themselves.

But Yao Ming's energy is ultimately limited; you can't rely on him entirely.

According to Tang Sen, Yao Ming needs to put up a triple-double to use his offensive threat to motivate his teammates.

The defense is even more troublesome.

With Yao Ming in the paint, his defense is flawless.

But he was all alone.

Spain's strategy was clear: they knew Gasol was strong in the paint, so even though Townsend helped Gasol work out his strength, he didn't go into the paint.

He moves around the free-throw line, ready to set screens for his teammates at any time.

Gasol's pick-and-roll skills are quite good.

Aside from Yao Ming, the men's basketball team's perimeter players are far from defensively sound.

Not only is his athletic ability poor and he can't keep up with the pace, but his awareness is also lacking.

Then their opponents, like Calderon and Navarro, are NBA-caliber players.

There really is a gap in strength.

Sure enough, in the next attack by the Chinese team, Yao Ming made a post-up move, then turned and shot a jumper that went in.

But then Spain started passing the ball around on the perimeter, and Gasol received the pass and hit a mid-range jump shot.

Spain's ball movement was very fast; with just a few passes, they tore open a gap in the Chinese team's defense.

This is because the team's overall defense is weak and they can't keep up with their opponents.

Shortly after, Tedeschi was the first to push open the door and enter.

He glanced at the TV screen; the first quarter had already ended, and the second quarter had just begun.

China leads 26-24, by 2 points.

"How many points did Yao get?" Tederski asked.

He only cares about Yao Ming.

Tang Sen thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be 16 points."

Yao Ming only rested for one minute during the entire first quarter.

Tedeschi frowned slightly. The team scored 26 points, and one player scored 16. This might be a problem.

He sat down to watch the game, and after only a short while, he pointed at the TV and said, "Spain is targeting Yao Ming very hard."

Tang Sen nodded.

Spain's head coach, Pesquera, had clearly studied Yao Ming carefully, and from the start of the game, he was constantly adjusting his defensive strategy against Yao Ming.

They were double-teamed.

The inside players double-teamed, and there was also cooperation between the big men and small women, with Gasol behind him and the smaller guards in front of him.

They then implemented a zone defense, attempting to cut off the connection between Yao Ming and his teammates.

There were further changes in the latter half of the first quarter.

They started with full-court defense, half-court interceptions, forcing the Chinese team's point guard to make mistakes, stealing the ball, and launching transition offense.

In other words, after realizing that double-teaming Yao Ming couldn't completely contain him, they started to focus on other players.

If I can't stop Yao Ming, can't I stop anyone else?
This strategy is clearly useful.

In just a few minutes, the Chinese team has already made three mistakes.

Tang Sen could tell that Harris really wanted to use Yao Ming as a point guard, letting him handle the ball in an attempt to solve the problem of his teammates passing him the ball.

The problem is, even if Yao Ming is still played as a point guard, he can't really carry the entire length of the court from the backcourt to the frontcourt. That would be too exaggerated.

Moreover, Yao Ming won the assist title, but his assists were different from Billups'.

Tang Sen believes that Yao Ming's assist title was rigged.

He has explosive offensive ability and excellent playmaking ability, and he also has the advantage of having a teammate who is a star player.

Those assists were incredibly easy to rack up.

So his assists are simply about passing the ball to whoever has an opportunity.

This isn't like Billups, who orchestrates his teammates, creates opportunities through those orchestrations, and then delivers precise passes.

At the same time, even if Yao Ming had this ability, his teammates' tactics were disorganized.

Our own technology is not yet sufficient.

Tang Sen had seen it several times: after Yao Ming passed the ball, his teammates hesitated after receiving it, wondering whether to shoot.

In that moment of hesitation, the opponent had already pounced.

FIBA's three-point line is shorter, making the space even more crowded. If you hesitate even slightly, the opportunity is gone.

So even if Yao Ming can score a high number of points, Tang Sen still thinks the Chinese team will lose.

Sure enough, the match ended a little over an hour later.

China lost the game 71-79, a difference of 8 points.

Yao Ming scored a game-high 47 points, along with 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

That means at least 59 points are related to Yao Ming.

Without a doubt, Yao Ming dominated the entire game, almost invincible.

In the final minutes, he even used a skyhook, scoring 6 points in a row, but it still wasn't enough to save the game.

Gasol scored a team-high 27 points.

Spain won the game with a balanced attack from multiple points, securing a narrow victory.

Grover, who later arrived to see what was happening, looked regretful and said, "Yao's teammates are terrible."

This is a FIBA ​​tournament. Even Shaquille O'Neal didn't have the same dominance as Yao Ming. He participated in several Olympic Games, but his performance was only average.

His score is almost surpassing that of Olympic champion Oscar Schmidt.

Tang Sen nodded in agreement.

The men's basketball team lost for no other reason than that, apart from Yao Ming, the other players were too bad.

And yet, this is with Yao Ming, who can play both inside and outside, and can both attack and pass, leading the team.

If Yao Ming had been even slightly weaker, the Chinese team would have lost by more than 8 points.

They're going to lose by 18 points, or even more.

The camera focused on Yao Ming on the court, his hands on his hips, his eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.

He was covered in sweat and looked utterly helpless.

There is no doubt that he did everything he could, but he just couldn't help the team win the game.

Tang Sen couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he took the remote and turned off the TV, saying, "I hope they have good luck."

Then he called on everyone to get to work.

The Dream Team's match is at 6 PM.

At this point, the second training session had already ended.

Everyone got together for dinner.

There are tons of trainers, tons of massage therapists, and tons of sparring partners too.

Tang Sen simply set up a space in the huge parking lot outside the training hall and organized a barbecue for everyone.

Just treat it as a staff dinner.

Several television stations broadcast the event live.

Tang Sen still watches TNT; he just loves watching Barkley's big mouth spout nonsense.

Sure enough, before the game even started, Barkley was already complaining about how bad the Dream Team VI's lineup was.

Inevitably, we must mention the glorious Dream Team.

He boasted about how amazing he was back in the day, scoring 30 points in a single game, which remains the highest scoring record for the Dream Team to date.

Looking at Dream Team VI, is there a single star player among them?

They even said that such a dream team doesn't even deserve to be called a dream team, and that taking them out would make fans all over the world laugh at them.

Everyone knows the Dream Team is full of star players, and people buy tickets to see the stars.

It's not about seeing you become the next Garnett or the next Jordan.

They want to see the authentic product.

Kenny Smith shrugged playfully and said, "There's nothing we can do about it; the real stuff is all in Tang's training camp."

Compared to Barkley's pessimism.

Larry Brown, on the other hand, was full of confidence. At the pre-match press conference, he simply said, "We came to Athens for victory."

Before the match, he didn't make any arrangements at all. He simply grabbed Billups and told him to play freely.

Just look at the results.

A max-level account—that's how confident I am.
