There is a saying called "experts stretch out their hands, they will know if there are any good players", Coach Guo is an expert.
Zhang Guan's breakthrough in the offensive brought coach Guo an absolute surprise, and his performance in defense was incredible to coach Guo.
In basketball, offensive practice and defensive practice are difficult. Many talented athletes have just entered the professional basketball field. They may have a strong offensive performance, but it is difficult to have a good defensive performance. Defensiveness requires not only learning, but also good talent, rich experience accumulation, and perseverance, all of which are indispensable.
Without good defensive talent, players will not know how to defend; without rich experience accumulation, players often choose the wrong defensive style, resulting in lost, fouling, or technical fouls; and even more tenacious will good explanation, for example, many superstars in the NBA, there are always people who attack very sharply but are called defensive loopholes. This is not because they cannot defend, they are also very good at defending seriously, but they just don't want to defend. It has a lot to do with personal will.
From a certain point of view, a good offensive player is easy to train, but a good defender is difficult to train. If the players are both, it is even a rare animal. In reality, players with excellent defensive offenses can mix well in professional leagues. They will be regarded as championship puzzles. The role player is not a supplement to the offensive. Even the NBA has set up the best defensive lineup, but not the best offensive lineup.
Few young athletes, especially newcomers, have an excellent defense. Even if they are, most of them are blue-collar players inside. Newcomers outside are offensive. Under normal circumstances, a player who has just entered the professional league must have at least two or three seasons of training before the defense is barely qualified. For example, if you start to play basketball and you will defend, it is impossible to exist in reality.
However, Zhang Guan's performance on the defensive end today has broken Coach Guo's cognition. The defense Zhang Guan showed is professional, even super professional, because Zhang Guan is a genius. He is the main player of the men's basketball national team. Each of them is the leader of the team in the CBA. But even so, no one can score under Zhang Guan's defense.
"How could this be? How can Zhang Guan's defense be so aggressive! Is he a newcomer to basketball? Even a basketball veteran who has been practicing for 20 years cannot have this kind of defense. I know Zhang Guan's physical fitness is world-leading and fast. Strong confrontation ability, which certainly has an advantage in defense. As a world champion, for his willpower we don't have to say, but where does this defensive experience come from? He has not participated in the game, where has accumulated such veteran experience? Liu Wei was fooled this time!"
At this time, on the court, Liu Wei in the attack hit a defensive trap of Zhang Guan. As a result, he reached the bottom corner and lost the space for sports. Zhang Guan clung tightly to Liu Wei and did not pass him the ball. Space.
"Just fooled just now, I was too rash, it seems that Zhang Guan deliberately left me an open space for me to drill in!" Liu Wei was helpless, he calculated the time silently in his heart, he knew he could not continue to stop the ball, otherwise, 24 seconds will go by.
However, Zhang Guan's defense did not leave Liu Wei with a slight pass. Liu Wei could only forcibly throw the ball out, but at this time the rough whistle also sounded, and the ball was out for 24 seconds.
Liu Wei suddenly had a sad expression.
"Zhang Guan's defense, even me, was tempted to be fooled. Wasn't he a rookie? He is an old basketball player! He is the most cunning kind!"
...
Coach Yunas did not expect Zhang Guan to perform so defensively. In the previous training, although Yunas can see that Zhang Guan knows some defensive skills and pace, after all, it is not a real game, and he cannot see Zhang Guan's true defensive strength. In today's game, Yunas found that Zhang Guan's defensive level is far superior to the ordinary players of the national team.
"How can Zhang Guan's defense be so strong! Did he not participate in professional games?" Yunas also felt incredible. As a well-known coach, he certainly knew that defense could not be achieved in a day or two. An amateur basketball player may be able to play a gorgeous offense, but it is impossible to have a strong defense. It is like the few players in the NBA who have played streetball.
After a few seconds, Yunas recovered and began to think seriously.
"I don't know why Zhang Guan has such a strong defense, but after careful analysis, Zhang Guan has a strong body and dares to fight against the limbs in the defense, and he is fast enough and moves very agile, which makes him a great threat in the defensive end. His choice in defense is also great, he is not at all risky, and the movement range is also controlled just right. I thought that he looked very high, but I did not expect to look down upon him, even if there is no such sharp breakthrough, with this kind of steel defense alone, my team will also have a place for him." Yunas thought of this and said, "I think I can replace someone with Zhang Guan."
For Yunas, what Zhang Guan showed today has already indicated that he is qualified to stay in the national team, so Yunas feels that he no longer needs to observe Zhang Guan, and can now leave time to others.
Coach Guo thought about it thoughtfully and began to test, "Coach, Zhang Guan performed very well. His breakthrough and defense gave me a very deep impression. What do you think?"
"I think he is fully qualified to stay. We need him on our team." Yunas continued, "Zhang Guan's speed can help us advance smoothly, and his breakthrough can allow us to easily tear the opponent's defense and his steel-like defense can enhance our defensive strength on the outside."
Coach Guo nodded, "I very much agree with you, but I am worried that he will not be integrated into our tactical system. After all, he has too little time to play."
"Don't underestimate Zhang Guan's tactical literacy. His tactical knowledge is great." Yunas continued, "And I don't intend to force Zhang Guan into our tactical system now, I think tactics should be arranged separately for him to let other players play around Zhang Guan."
"Arrange tactics for Zhang Guan alone? Let other players play around Zhang Guan?" Coach Guo took a breath, which is the top treatment in the national team.
Just listen to coach Yunas and then say, "How much do I look forward to Yao coming back quickly! Now with Zhang Guan, I might be able to experiment with dual-core play!"
"Dual-core play!" Coach Guo was taken aback.
The men's basketball national team has always had only a single core, that is Yao, all tactical systems are also played around Yao, and now it seems that in Yunus's mind, Zhang Guan's status is not lower than Yaos.
"Oh my god, a rookie who has never played professional basketball side by side with Yao is used as a dual-core' for the men's basketball team, this... this is not my illusion!"
