On September 14, Beijing time, the first half of the men's basketball team's European Cup quarterfinals ended, Finland led Spain by 9 points 52-43, the key to establishing an advantage, Malkanen 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal Leadership role, the team 3 "characteristics" made.
Malkanen had 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in the first half
Malkanen's last 43-point blast confirmed that he has become the core of Finland, reflected in the first half of the game, personal strong layups, outside three points, counterattack and mid-range, 4 of 8 in the half contributed 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, played the core of the team to solve the problem.
Malkanen cut to the basket
Note that in addition to Malcanny getting Spain into defensive trouble, Finland has three "characteristics" that are the top priority for them to be able to suppress Spain.
First, Finland's fast.
The young players are full of energy and physical fitness, while Spain is relatively "old", so we see the picture:
Finland's fast attack
Spain must have an efficient success rate, otherwise, as soon as Finland grabs the rebound, they will attack quickly; Not to mention the mistakes shown in the picture, Finland is so fast that the cameras can't keep up.
Second, Finland's run.
Spain tried everything it could to get Finland to slow down, but even if it fell into a trench battle, Finland had a way to respond and kept running.
Finland is constantly running
For example, in this attack, Little wanted to cooperate with his teammates and was destroyed by Spain's very strict defense, but Sarin circled from the strong side, from the top of the arc and then used the block to split the air cut, pick up Little's wonderful pass, or complete the overhead basket. This is the epitome of Finland's half-time attack, one person holding the ball, one person blocking, three people running non-stop, Spain is difficult to catch up.
Three points for Finland.
Even more terrifying, Finland has a frightening three-pointer. So far, Finland has averaged 13.2 three-pointers per game with 39.1% shooting, and the best three-point team in the quarterfinals is reflected in the first half.
Fenlin 2nd three-pointer
Throughout the first half of the game, Finland shot 7 of 13 from outside the three-point line, note that of these 7 three-pointers, only Sarin alone hit 2, and the other 5 people on the team each had a three-pointer. Six men blasted in seven three-pointers, such a scattered sniper point, making it difficult for Spain to fortify.
At this point, we look at Finland's 9-point lead over Spain in the first half, not only Marcaning alone, their running bombardment, non-stop running in the position war, unparalleled three-point projection ability, the combination of the three characteristics. In this situation, Spain is afraid that it will be more fierce and less auspicious.
