In the locker rooms of both sides, both were summarizing the first half. Relatively speaking, the atmosphere in the locker room of the Chinese team was more solemn. Although the five-point gap is not a particularly big gap for basketball, you should know that this was Stephen and Sun Yue who played the whole first half from beginning to end.

Liu Wei basically played the first half. If Yao Ming had not left the court for a while, he would have played the game for a while. The Chinese team had already given it all, but the American team still had the strength. Except for LeBron James who needed to compete with Stephen, they remained on the court, the other players played for about one quarter.

This is the difference in lineup thickness. The other person is still sitting on the bench, and Taian Shaprils has not even played. There is no need to mention the wounded soldiers like Jason Kidd. You are basically exhausted. They are still full of energy. How can they play against them in the second half? Stephen, Yao Ming, Sun Yue and others can play the second half.

But if they don't let them use anyone else, there is Zhu Fangyu on the front line, but can he fight against LeBron James? Wang Zhizhi has almost rested. He can replace Yao Ming for a while in a short time, but who will replace Stephen?

Whoever can defend LeBron James like him, score on the offensive end, create opportunities for his teammates, organize team offense, and control the team's rhythm, Stephen scores the most points, but he is the team's biggest contributor, who can replace him?

How to play in the second half, should these main players take a break? If they are allowed to rest, who should I get on the way? The team should focus on defense or use offense to drive defense like now. This is a direct problem facing the coaching staff.

However, for Yunas, even if he is confident, he does not take this problem too seriously. For him, playing to the final is a serious over-complete task. He is happy to win and lose, and there is nothing to worry about, so he is the least burdened of everyone.

In addition to asking the team doctor and staff to seize the time to rub the main players to relieve their fatigue, Stephen did not come over to do this for him, but lay on the massage table, then lowered his head and started to regulate his breathing, closed his eyes lightly, and his breath was faint, and he soon entered the state.

Stephen did not feel the physical trouble now, because although he was very tired in the first half, he did not do his best to deal with the game. He liked this kind of game where he controlled the ball and did not need to charge himself, but he also knew that this situation was only temporary, just a superficial phenomenon, and he soon needed to score and hit the basket as usual.

So he tried his best to rest to preserve more physical strength and energy, and even did not care about the shocking and used his unique breathing method. Although Yunas felt very magical and incredible, he also knew that Stephen was not the object of his own fingers. Since Stephen stated that he did not need to rest after the court, he also solved a problem, that is, the team's playing style does not need to be changed, and he still insists on his current playing style.

Sun Yue must have a rest, but fortunately Liu Wei provides the previous end, and Stephen stays on the court, so you don’t need to worry too much about possession. You can only take a point guard like before, so that Sun Yue or Liu Wei can take a rest.

If the style of play does not change, it still needs to be changed. This situation is still the situation of attacking and leading defense. Then other teams on the court must be adjusted and to those players who can help Stephen. Yunas's eyes stayed on each player in the locker room for a while, and finally stopped on the players he was used to, disappointing others.

Playing basketball is not just about having confidence and will. You must also have the ability to adapt to confrontation. There are also some players in the league that are not very good in physical fitness, but they have developed the ability to adapt to this confrontation level, and this ability is more difficult than practicing muscles.

At the same time, the locker room on the US team is relaxed and casual. In terms of attitude towards gold medals, Americans think this is an honor and a proof of their own value, but it has not risen to bringing glory to the country, shouldering the expectations of the Chinese people, etc.

So their psychological pressure is not that great, and due to their natural personality, their atmosphere is a bit active. Chris Bosh even put on his ears and sounded music, while Wade was discussing some topics with Deron Williams on unrelated to basketball.

Although we played with the Chinese team, and although we played in overtime in the last game, deep down in the players, we don’t think that the Chinese team is a big problem. This is a kind of confidence that has been built for a long time. We are the world’s number one league, we are superstar players in the world’s number one league, we have countless ways to solve our opponents, but we just haven’t made any effort. This sense of superiority cannot be removed no matter how psychological adjustments are made.

It is just to believe in yourself and believe that you can solve your opponent. This idea is already deeply rooted and indelible. This allows them to deal with the game with a more positive attitude and makes them unable to pay attention to their opponents. This sense of superiority can be said to be innate.

The coaching staff did not relax as much as the players. Shashevsky called the coaching staff members together and took out the data of the Chinese team in this game and the previous game data to be an opponent. The number of three-point shots of the Chinese team has dropped significantly, but the shooting rate has increased slightly, but what is the reason for reducing the three-point shooting.

Even if these people are proficient in the tactics and strategies of various basketball games and have studied the basketball characteristics of many countries and regions, they can't guess what the Chinese team intends, and what is Yunas's idea of ​​playing.

The offense has a focus. In the first half, the Chinese team's offense was obviously concentrated in the inside and achieved good results. Although they were five points behind, it was normal to fall behind five points against the United States. However, in the past games, they also focused on the basket concentration, and the three-point shooting did not decrease so significantly.

Moreover, Stephen's condition in this game is also puzzling. He said that he is in a bad state. His contribution in other aspects is not worse than usual. In Shashevsky's view, Stephen's current performance is more in line with the requirements of a team leader. Compared to watching his game before, he seems more determined, and the overall view has reached a new level.

In the past, Stephen passed the ball to find opportunities for his teammates and then passed the ball in time. Although the whole process was very fast, it was a waste of time to be precise. But now, Stephen's pass was always a little ahead of time.

But just a little change can allow teammates to receive his pass while running out of the opportunity. In other words, his pass is in front and his teammates run out of the opportunity after running out of the opportunity. This requires the team to know the movements of the entire court well and to know every player, whether it is the old side or the enemy, to make an accurate judgment.

Although it is just a slight change, it is very effective, because in such high-level, high-intensity, and high-speed games, the chances of taking out the phone will pass in a flash, but this does not mean that you will have to reduce your shot. It is obvious that for a lot of time, Stephen has a better chance than others, but Stephen chose to pass the ball.

Accumulating energy and leaving physical strength and energy to use it at the most critical moment of the game is a clear answer. Shashevsky knows very well how terrible Stephen is in an explosion state. No one in the league can stop the scoring ability. Once the two sides still stalemate in the final stage of the game, even if there are so many superstar players under his command, Coach Shashevsky doesn't think it can stop the opponent.

So the key to the game is to be able to take the lead. A big score lead can solve this problem. Even if you can gain an advantage in scoring in a short period of time, there is always a limit. There are also Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron and James and other a lot of excellent top scorers, so even if there is a gap, the gap is still minimal.

Shaschevs believes that before the final decisive time comes, a gap of more than ten is a relatively safe range. If you can lead for fifteen points, then basically 99% of the game will be able to win.

But Shashevsky didn't think it was easy to lead the Chinese team for fifteen points. However, the gap of more than ten may be possible. With a gap of more than ten, even if Stephen has explosive power, he should be able to withstand it.

Of course, he would not tell the players about this idea, but just let the players try to lead. There are three players on the Chinese team who basically played the first half. Coach Shashevsky believes that the Chinese team will definitely change its lineup and must take this opportunity to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop and widen the score difference to a safe range.

Since LeBron James has played the entire first half, although it is not yet certain whether Stephen will continue to play, Coach Shashevsky decided to let LeBron James take a break and let Tayane Shaprils play. Even if Stephen continues to stay on the court, some people will defend him, while others are the lineup he believes is the most offensive.

The center is still Dwight Howard, power forward Chris Bosh, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Chris Paul and LeBron James, and the team becomes an orthodox tactic, and Chris Paul is responsible for organizing it.

On the Chinese side, there are five people, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Stephen, Zhu Fangyu and Liu Wei. The five people played more than one quarter in the first half, which shows that the Chinese team lacked manpower. Seeing this, Shashevsky smiled slightly.
