Chapter 586 The Strongest Dream Eight in History!

On the evening of August 21st, the Olympic Village...

The entire US team gathered in the screening venue, and Old K applied for the right to use it for a full five hours, from 2 p.m. to almost 7 p.m.

The content shown is all the clips of the Dragon Country team that Lao K has asked the team to edit in the past few days, as well as Mobius's game clips. Of course, there are also all the videos of all the international competitions that the Dragon Country team has participated in in the past two years, regardless of Lin Lin. Dong's, or Lin Dong's.

While playing, Lao K talked, mainly focusing on a few points.

First, the personal strength and technical characteristics of each player of the Long Guo team.

Frankly speaking, with the ability of this American super giant team, there is no need to do such an analysis. Each of them is enough to easily suppress any player on the Dragon Kingdom team except Lin Dong and Yao Ming.

Whether it’s Yi Jianlian, who rose to prominence after coming to the NBA last year, or Wang Zhizhi, who was not reused in the Mavericks but unexpectedly improved greatly after going to the Champions League, as well as those young players from the Dragon Kingdom who are currently in the limelight, such as Xu Yong, Chen Jianghua and so on.

The super giants can easily crush them. Even Yi Jianlian, who is now known as the third player in the Dragon Kingdom, is only a quasi-all-star in the NBA.

However, it does not mean that if your opponent is weak, you can be careless without studying...

You have to know them well enough to spend less energy dealing with them, and then free up other energy to fight against Lin Dong and Yao Ming, and to fight against Long Guo's team tactics.

Of course, the technical characteristics of the weak need to be explained, and among the people who need to be explained, the strong ones like Yao Ming and Lin Dong are naturally indispensable.

The former is still in an invincible state to this day, and the latter has just won the championship in the NBA this season. His small hook under the basket and his rebounding ability after gaining a little weight are unique in the NBA, even if he is like Duncan. The most historical power forwards can do is compete with Yao Ming. As for the already old O'Neal...Old K didn't even let him participate in the Olympics this time.

In fact, everyone in the US team is extremely familiar with Lin Dong and Yao Ming. It can even be said that Lao K’s understanding of Yao Ming may not be as good as that of Duncan, an opponent who has become an old enemy with Yao Ming. Of course, let alone Kobe. A teammate.

But Old K still wants to talk about it, and it’s about the changes in their styles when playing in the NBA and playing international games. It’s all about the details. Just these two people, Old K has edited for 20 minutes. video, and talked about Yao Ming's weaknesses and Lin Dong's "weaknesses" for more than an hour.

Of course, when it comes to the weaknesses of these two people, we have to mention the overall Dragon Country team. This is also the focus of Old K’s meeting. Combined with the Dragon Country team’s performance in international competitions and mainstream tactics in the past two years , to match the weaknesses of those two people.

Yes, weaknesses need to be 'matched'.

Just like Lin Dong alone, in the eyes of Old K, he is actually infinitely perfect. One-on-one, he has no weaknesses. It is even said that if Lin Dong is on the US team, he will have no weaknesses at all.

But if you are dragging a Dragon Kingdom team, it will be different... Not only Lin Dong, but Yao Ming is also the same.

After all, the level of the other members of the Dragon Kingdom team is still far behind these two, so as long as the tactics are correct, the two of them must either play alone all the time, otherwise they must slow down the pace of the two to play team basketball and use At the cost of lowering their own standards, they can lead to an overall improvement.

"On the surface, there are currently only two mainstream tactics of the Dragon Kingdom team. One is the inside position battle with Yao as the core of the offense. A two-tower or even three-tower lineup inside. This will most likely be the first quarter of the Dragon Kingdom. Tactics, taking advantage of Yao Ming's abundant physical strength, let him open up the situation first and then drive the whole team. However, they will not use this tactic for too long. If the success rate inside is high enough, they will seek to change the formation as soon as the situation is opened up. , in order to lead us by the nose, and at the same time, it also allows Yao Ming to retain the energy to execute critical moment tactics in the fourth quarter.”

Old K's analysis of a team has never been groundless. More importantly, when other coaches are looking at the first step, Old K is often already looking at the second and third steps.

A famous coach in the NCAA once said of Old K: No matter what you are thinking, that guy will always think of what you want before you do. As long as he pays enough attention, there will be no surprises for him on the court. , so you can always see him handling any 'emergency' calmly.

This was not just a temporary fix. It took two full years and Old K had already seen through the tactics of the Dragon Kingdom team.

"The second set of tactics was to let Yao Ming take a rest and switch to a space small ball tactic with Lin Dong as the core of ball control. On the inside, high-mobility insiders like Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi were used to support the team, and on the outside, Use Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng and other three-point shooters to create linkages.”

"But in fact... if you know enough about them and the Moebius team, you should be able to guess that Longguo's tactics are far more than that. It has not been used in the international competitions in the past two years. They have appeared, just because they have been saving and hiding, just to defeat us in front of the whole world in this year's Olympics, the largest event in the world of sports, they even gave up the 2006 World Championships for this! !”

"Their space ball has a hidden formation, although they have never used it in international competitions..." Old K said with a smile: "In addition to Yao Ming, the two big insiders Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi can also make another one. , outside shooters can also be next up, adding Chen Jianghua and Xu Yong, using Chen Jianghua's speed to partner with Lin Dong as a double point guard to further improve their counterattack capabilities, and at the same time, use Xu Yong to pair up with an outside shooter in a double-forward lineup to open up the entire team. The court space is equivalent to having two point guards at the same time, as well as two small forwards Lin Dong and Xu Yong. They have full impact on the inside without losing speed and outside firepower. They have used it in Mobis. This tactic has been used several times, and the counterattack ability is top-notch, and the running and gun speed is as fast as that of the top SuperSonics of the year!"

"In addition to this, Long Guo also has another high-post serve tactic specifically for Yao Ming. It uses Yao Ming's shooting touch to reach the three-point outside line, attracting the opponent's inside line, and then giving Lin Dong and Xu Yong such Position 3 creates various air-cutting opportunities, and if you dare not go out, Yao Ming will dare to shoot 3-pointers from the outside. "

Old K said, turning to look at Kobe with a smile.

Kobe nodded: "Yao rarely shoots 3-pointers in games, but his 3-pointers are really accurate... You can see it in normal training. His touch is so good. We also used this when we were with the Lakers." Yao executed the tactics very well.”

"Not only did Yao Ming execute it well, but what's even more terrible is that their high-position serve was also accompanied by changes in high-position zone defense. You know, high-position zone defense is a traditional tactic of the strong teams in the Champions League. Although the Long Guo team has not played in the past two years, They have used this tactic in the international arena, but their players in the Champions League often follow the team and are very familiar with this tactic. Coupled with Lin Dong's overall leadership, coupled with Yao Ming's power on the outside, so when they put Yao Ming When his name reaches a high level, he cannot be underestimated on both offense and defense!”

"The high-post defense can also be transformed into an alternative space ball running and gunning at any time. Yao Ming only needs to go back and forth between the two three-point lines. The confrontation is much weaker than that at the basket. It can save his energy as much as possible, while also Perfectly completing the important tasks of high-post support and 3-point shooting from the outside, and at the same time not slowing down the overall offensive and defensive transition rhythm of the Dragon Country, this is undoubtedly the most threatening set in the series of changes of the Dragon Country. "

"Of course, in addition to these, Longguo also has a set of the most guaranteed tactics, which are suitable for any time, any situation, and any opponent."

Speaking of this, not only Old K, but everyone in the room laughed knowingly and said in unison: "Give the ball to Lin Dong!"

"Yes, after all, that guy is recognized as the god of basketball in the world."

Old K said with a smile: "This Dragon Country team is indeed very strong, whether it is individual points or their overall tactics, and the stronger point lies in their proficiency in formation changes. Through the international competition in recent years It can be seen from the game that Lin Dong and coach Jiang have been honing the Dragon Country national team's ability to change formations. Their five tactical lineups can be switched back and forth at any time to control the initiative on the court. This This is the strongest point of the Dragon Kingdom as a whole.”

"Use formation changes to set the rhythm. Use rapid transitions between several sets of tactics to make it difficult for the opponent to adapt. If a set of tactics is successful two or three times, when the opponent just starts to adapt, they will immediately change formations again, which will allow you to Always focusing on one thing and not the other, leading you by the nose, you will never find your own rhythm. "

"Coupled with the speedy space small ball lineup, the high-position defense lineup, and Lin Dong's unsolvable singles ability that we speculated, these three lineups that have never appeared in the Dragon Kingdom in previous international competitions are interspersed in their current situation. The mainstream tactics are enough to make any unprepared team lose sight of one thing.”

"But we are not an unprepared team." Kobe said with a smile: "After all, you have been studying them for two years, and all of us have already trained with you as early as last year's offseason..."

Old K laughed.

"Yes, although this Dragon Country team has many individual weaknesses, they are actually very strong as a whole. Their cooperation is skillful and tacit. In addition, Lin Dong and Yao Ming are two people who are rooted in the ground. The points and changeable tactics even make me feel that if we play against the former Dream 1, this Dragon Country team will not lose, but... we are no longer the Dream 1 that only focused on getting together. "

Kobe, Wade, Duncan and other superstars in the venue all laughed.

Although Meng 8 is also composed of all super giants, and in terms of individual strength alone, perhaps it is not as strong as the 11 people in Meng 1. At most, it can be regarded as between the same, but...

"Starting preparations for the Olympics a year in advance, starting to study opponents and even training in advance. This has never happened to our U.S. national team. We have adapted to various tactics and coordination as well as responses to Dragon Kingdom tactics. , and because of Lin Dong’s presence, all members attach greater importance to this Olympics and this competition than ever before!”

"This is a true peak competition. Mentally, we value our opponents enough and strategically, we respect them enough." Old K looked around at the group of superstars who were eager to try. "Even when facing the outbreak of Spain in the group stage, after a short period of disadvantage, we took the initiative to hide our tactics and cooperation, and chose to give up, creating the illusion that we are currently weak for Longguo, so that the media and all parties began to be more optimistic about Longguo, just to praise them and then kill them by surprise... We have paid everything for this game! Just to defend the glory of the basketball empire in front of fans all over the United States and the world!"

The eyes of the superstars sparkled. Although everyone present admitted that Lin Dong was extremely powerful, they also admitted that he had indeed brought the Longguo national team to a new height that was enough to threaten the American team in the two years since he left the NBA.

However, the United States is the truly recognized basketball empire, and these superstars present are also proud gods sitting high in this basketball hall.

This is not just a game, and it does not just represent a gold medal. More importantly, it represents the glory and faith of the basketball empire.

In order to defend it, everyone present is willing to give everything!

"In this game, the outcome is not only determined by the competition between super giants, but also by the tactical confrontation between each other!"

Old K said calmly and clearly, and sorted out the response methods of each Dragon Country tactic again for everyone.

"If Yao Ming is on the court, Duncan, stick to him! Whether he is serving from a high position or attacking from a low position, consume him and confront him. Garnett or Howard will assist you at any time to make him tired as soon as possible and let him go off the court. That is equivalent to blocking the three tactics of Dragon Country's high-post serving, high-post joint defense and low-post double towers! It can also effectively reduce Dragon Country's success rate and rebounds at the critical moment of the last quarter! This is the key to our victory!"

"If they change to small ball tactics after Yao Ming leaves the court, they will confront me when playing with the outside lineup, lock their outside line, don't be afraid of wasting your physical strength, don't be afraid of running, I will immediately return you to rest when you are tired."

"And if Dragon Country plays a speed lineup, I will also replace Wade, Bosh, and Stoudemire to deal with it, and Duncan can come down to rest. , lock down everyone except Lin Dong, and cut off the connection between this team and Lin Dong!"

"And if they start to attack Lin Dong, don't think about helping to defend him and stopping him as soon as possible. The second defense may not be useful for Lin Dong. Instead, it will leave opportunities for other people in Longguo and reduce the pressure on Lin Dong. You only need to consume them in turns, and still lock their outside lines. The person responsible for consumption must stick to me and pull him down! If you can defend, defend. If you can't defend, use fouls to stop him from scoring and use fouls to stop him from gaining momentum!"

"In any case, you must cooperate with the team and suppress this Longguo team in the semifinals!"

Old K looked at Kobe and Wade, obviously worried that the two's obsession with Lin Dong would affect the execution of the team's tactics.

But...

Kobe and Wade smiled at each other.

If it was two years ago, Old K's words would undoubtedly damage their self-esteem, and might arouse their inner desire to win, and then they would not follow Old K's arrangements and be provoked by Lin Dong.

But now it’s different…

The four years of being suppressed by that guy were four painful years. Although the existence of that goal has always motivated them to practice hard, the ‘Lin Dong phobia’ always exists in their subconscious. Therefore, no matter how much progress they make, they are always easily controlled by that person. This also makes them always have various knots in their hearts when facing ‘Lin Dong’, which affects their judgment and performance.

But since that person left the NBA, the feeling of being suppressed by that person has disappeared. Not only have both of them improved a lot, but they have finally seen the fourth level where Lin Dong used to be.

That is a kind of invincible thought. Under that kind of invincible blessing, the peak of the third level will transform into the fourth level!

Both of them can clearly feel that they may not have reached the real fourth level, because they have never defeated Lin Dong, but at least…after understanding everything, they are no longer afraid or entangled.

Lin Dong is a level higher than everyone else.

Lose to Lin Dong in a one-on-one situation? Put yourself in the role of challenger and round-robin to consume Lin Dong?

Of course, I will not give up the challenge to Lin Dong. Of course, I will do my best to face Lin Dong in a one-on-one match and challenge his position.

But if they really lose... then the two of them will not have any demons in their hearts.

Then let's fight in a round-robin battle, let's consume each other.

Everything doesn't matter, as long as the team can win, as long as we can defend the glory of American basketball!

And as long as we can beat the peak Dragon Country team led by the current peak Lin Dong, it is equivalent to defeating Lin Dong, and completely erasing the shadow of Lin Dong in the hearts of the two people, and the invincible thought will successfully grow from the bottom of their hearts, and then help the two people reach the fourth level that they could not reach at all!

"Don't worry, Coach K, we will do what we should do." The two spoke almost in unison, and then looked at each other and laughed again, bumped fists with each other, and the brilliance in their eyes shone: "We will definitely win in the end!"

"Yes!" The super giants were all on fire.

To defeat the man who had suppressed them for four years, for the glory of the basketball empire, and for...

"America must win!"

"We are the strongest Dream Team in history!"
