Chapter 19: Difficult Spain

There is a reason why Raul Lopez is known as Spain's Stockton, because he is just as good as the latter. Even if you let him shoot, he won't get many points. Stockton's career is at a regular season with 28 points in the playoffs.

In Zhang Tian's eyes, Raul Lopez is not Stockton at all. He is like Rubio, a Spanish golden boy behind him. In the first few games of this World Youth Championship, although the overall shooting percentage was 44%, it was all in the penalty area. His shooting percentage on the shooting end was only 38%. This guy's only highlight was 75% free throws.

Liu Wei's height is similar to his, and his body is much lighter than his, and he does not suffer any loss in speed. This makes the opponent's idea of ​​trying to fight Liu Wei by relying on his own to fight alone. So he gestured to his sister-in-law in the inside. The latter came to the high position unhappily and whistled from Liu Wei with this cover. Zhang Tian blocked Raul Lopez in time. At this time, the sister-in-law was still in the high position and did not leave. The person defending him was Liu Wei. If the ball was passed, Spain No. 15 could easily score in the top of the arc, but the Bullfighter point guard did not do that.

Facing Zhang Tian's standing defense, he racquetted the ball to his right hand, turned around in a reverse direction and wanted to break through from Zhang Tian. Zhang Tian's horizontal movement speed was the fastest among all the forwards in this World Youth Championship, and that's why he was paid attention to by NBA scouts. As for other scouts, basketball IQ became secondary in the eyes of scouts.

Raul Lopez did not pass. He pulled the ball back in front of him but still did not pass the ball. Instead, he chose to shoot. Bang, Zhang Tian stretched out his arm span of more than 210 and easily knocked the ball out. Liu Wei was quick-eyed and quickly ignored his sister-in-law who was blocking him. He turned around and received the ball and completed a layup in the frontcourt.

Just this, Spain's chief point guard, just this, no wonder this guy completely became a water dispenser administrator in the later international competitions. A point guard, you can shoot but you can't defend, but the minimum passing ability is still possible. If not, you can transport the ball to the frontcourt and give it to the elder brother.

Zhang Tian finally understood why this guy had only one assist. This kind of self-improvement style really made it really burning to have one assist.

The Spanish head coach is a bald man, and he squirted at Raul Lopez, "Passing the ball, passing the ball, are your eyes farts? Damn it, please be serious."

The No. 6 defender Carrasca Bessais on the bench was very happy. Come on, the Chinese team, and if you keep that stupid, I can play. The head coach of the Spanish team didn't know that there was a Chinese team supporter among his disciples. If he knew, this guy would definitely be beaten to death.

Raul Lopez did not play again in the next attack. He knew that he could not get over one-on-one, so he continued to call out his sister-in-law. When he arrived at the inside, he still faced the Chinese team No. 7. This time he did not choose to play hard, but instead found his sister-in-law by a back pass. Yue Pengfei and Liu Wei chose to double-team him at all costs. With his height advantage, Spain No. 15 still hit a mid-range shot at the top of the arc.

This is a bit difficult. Zhang Tian looked at his sister-in-law. This guy didn't enter the NBA, so he practiced so well in China's shooting team. The Chinese team attacked and Spain's formation was 3-2. He slammed Zhang Tian and the others scored and recognized it.

Liu Wei did not go to play Raul Lopez, but distributed the ball to Yue Pengfei. Navarro's scoring ability was good, but the defense was average. Yue Pengfei took a step back and suddenly accelerated and turned around and passed Spain No. 7 and rushed into the inside. Spain's speed against Zhang Tian, ​​Suleimann made up for defense, and Navarro also changed defense in time to Zhang Tian. When the Chinese team saw this scene, he still handed the ball to Zhang Tian, ​​and then ran back and rushed out of the three-point line. Zhang Tian had a height advantage against Navarro, and Yue Pengfei outside was empty, so he still passed the ball out. Suleimann at Spain No. 3 did not follow the defense in time. He was 202 tall and weighed 120 kilograms, just like James, but the latter's speed and explosive power were not available in Spain No. 3.

Yue Pengfei took the open position and the ball entered. Zhang Tian did not take the start, but he had a block and two assists. The Chinese team controlled the advantage on the field.

Spain's offense was still based on the pick-and-roll of Raul Lopez and his wife. Both of them were teammates of Barcelona club and they cooperated well. However, the Chinese team's defense changed. After Raul Lopez broke through to the inside, Zhang Tian did not come to assist in defense. The Chinese team began to shrink the inside. Raul Lopez encountered the same situation as Kirilenko, so he chose to pass the ball back to his wife.

The moment Spain received the ball on the 15th, Zhang Tian rushed over. Gasol didn't expect that he had not raised the ball yet. The Chinese team arrived at the third position. With a bang, the ball was knocked out. Navarro and Liu Wei rolled into a ball on the floor, but Liu Wei still grabbed the ball and threw it to Spain's half. Zhang Tian used his strength to catch up with the ball and completed the first score of the game.

Wang Fei was not upset about Zhang Tian's own initiative to change his tactics on the court, because in the situation just now, if he continued to switch to Raul Lopez, then no one could stop Spain's fourth position.

The Spanish head coach can only choose to suspend the game. The rules of the World Youth Championship to some extent are similar to those of NCAA. For example, the number of timeouts is six times, and the whole game is six times, and it will be overturned after use.

Navarro, the core of Spain, seemed to have been completely forgotten, so the Spanish head coach replaced Stockton, Spain in the next game and replaced Carlos Cabersas. This guy is called a point guard, but he is doing the job of a point guard, so after he came on the court, Navarro became the number one position.

The shells were much easier to fight against Liu Wei than Raul Lopez. He could break through and shoot, which made Liu Wei tireless. Moreover, this guy did not rely entirely on pick-and-roll, and his personal single-handed ability was also very strong.
