Almighty Athlete Chapter 410: Folded halberd
The scene was already full of seats, but the audience did not give the Chinese team friendly applause, especially when Zhang Guan debuted, there was a burst of boos in the audience.
The Chinese team eliminated Turkey, which is naturally not welcomed by home fans. Zhang Guan has become the culprit of killing the Turkish team in the hearts of home fans.
In this case, the home fans must be one-sided to support the US team. The situation faced by the national team is just reversed compared to the Olympics two years ago.
The starting lineup of the US team remains unchanged, Odom appears in the center position, Durant and Iguodala play the forward, Ross and Billups are the defenders. The starting lineup of the Chinese team is the same as the previous one, except for Yao Yi, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng and Zhang Guan.
Durant has scored more than 30 points in two consecutive games. In the last semi-final against Lithuania, he scored 38 points, so at the beginning of the game, Durant became the US team without a doubt. The main point of attack.
After the opening, Durant felt quite good. One of four five-for-one shots scored 8 points. This is still in the case of the United defense. In the face of the United League, Durant still chose to shoot, but did not make a breakthrough. If it is a shorter and weaker defender, it is estimated that Durant has already turned his opponent into a sieve.
The United League is very depressed. This is not the first time he has faced Durant, and today he has been working **** defense, but he has been unable to stop Durant from scoring on his own head.
As a player who entered the NBA in the same year, they are relatively familiar. After three years, Durant is already the scoring champion of the NBA, and the United League is still tepid and not what people expect. So in the face of Durant, the United Arab Emirates is very eager to perform. It is a pity that today's Durant is still in the state where the gods block the gods and the Buddha blocks the Buddhas. The United defensive efforts have not achieved much effect.
is even more depressed than the United Arab Emirates. Odom, who appears in the center position, needs to defend against the opponent. This is the existence of Odom who can’t resist even with his efforts. The difference in height Let Odom have been at a loss, Dayao's diverse offensive means and Odom do not see the slightest hope.
Odom seems to have returned to the first round of last year's playoffs. At that time, Lakers coach Phil Jackson once asked Odom to defend Dayao, and Odom was beaten because he was bullied by Dayao. It's too miserable. Since then, Odom has even resisted appearing in the center position.
Dayao also scored 8 points by himself, but he made 4 of 4 shots with a 100% shooting rate.
Today Yao's desire to attack is very strong, and he plays decisively and firmly. It can be seen that facing the US team, Yao is eager to win a victory.
score came to 8-8, and neither side took advantage of it. At this time, Shashevsky took the lead in substitutions and replaced Odom with Chandler. Obviously, he was going to step up against Dayao Defense.
Chandler is anyway a genuine center. Although he still can't prevent Dayao, he is much stronger than Odom's defense, at least it can cause some pressure on Dayao.
Zhang Guan decisively accepted the banner of attack.
In contrast to Lupus, Zhang Guan chose a direct breakthrough for the first attack.
Billups has twice entered the nba second defensive lineup. At that time, his Detroit Pistons was a team with defense as the core, so Billups is still very defensive. confident.
However, Zhang Guan taught Billups a lesson. Pretending to break through, emergency stop, sudden force and then break through, change direction, accelerate, Billups can only watch Zhang Guan pass by beside him.
Billups has an impulsive urge to curse people. This set of Zhang Guan movements is not difficult. Any defender can complete it, but the same action, when it comes to Zhang Guan, the speed has reached the extreme Si even felt that his brain could keep up, but his body was too late to react.
This breakthrough is not the same as that with a strong body. This breakthrough of Zhang Guan still belongs to the category of technical breakthroughs. However, in Billups’ eyes, this kind of body show technology is the most exciting. Feeling depressed. This style of play seems to be telling the defenders that my physical fitness is stronger than you, and my skills are also stronger than you. If you are a psychologically fragile or inexperienced defender, you may soon be destroyed by Zhang Guan.
Billups is certainly not an inexperienced young man, he is not so easy to lose confidence, but this ball also made Billups realize that he may be really unable to resist Zhang Guan, He needs the help of his teammates.
......
The American team is rich and rich. They don’t have only one main lineup like other teams. The US team sits on the bench with top players. Durant is a player with more playing time in the US team, but he only averages 23 minutes of playing time. In fact, no player in the US team has an average playing time of more than 25 minutes. The main players are averaging about 30 minutes per game. So just halfway through the first half, Durant was replaced and Granger replaced Durant.
Without Durant, other players have to shoulder more offensive tasks, and Rose has also gained more possession.
Ross averaged more than 20 points per game last season, and next season, he will average more than 25 points per game. Although his three-point shooting rate is a bit terrible, less than 30%, but his total shooting rate is close to 50%, overall Ross's scoring efficiency is still very high.
After the US team made a pick-and-roll change, Ross faced Zhang Guan. Rose did not hesitate to choose a breakthrough, which is his best offensive method.
change of direction, continuous change of direction, cross dribble breakthrough, Ross is worthy of the title of "footed terminator". Now Ross is young and has not suffered any major injuries. He can always shake his opponents through in the breakthrough. At least among the currently active nba players, Ross has the strongest ability to change direction.
Faced with Zhang Guan, Ross did not dare to relax at all. He exerted his abilities to the extreme. However, Zhang Guan always kept him in front of him. No matter how Ross crosses the dribble or how he changes direction continuously , Still unable to break through the defense of Zhang Guan.
"I can actually stop me!" Rose's heart rose with a strong heart. As the No. 1 pick in 2008, he was given high hopes when he entered the NBA on the first day, and he was selected by the Chicago Bulls. This made him wear a layer of "Heir of Jordan" aura, and Rose has always believed One day, he can become a superstar in the league. He wants to establish his own "Bull Dynasty" like Jordan.
And today, the more unable to break through Zhang Guan's defense, the more Ross hopes to break through. He seems to have forgotten that there are other teammates who can support himself. There is only one-on-one with Zhang Guan in his mind.
If it is a few years later, Rose may not do it. He sticks the ball and ignores his teammates, but it is not a qualified team leader. But now Ross has only played nba for two years. Both the experience and the mentality are immature. At the time of the Bulls, both coaches and teammates are also left to Ross's temperament. At this moment, he is persistently trying to defeat Zhang Guan. .
"Ross is too sticky!" Shashevsky frowned, and at this time, the other players in the United States were not running. Everyone stood there, watching Ross and Zhang Guan. pick.
Eight people watched two people heads-up. This situation is very common in nba. The core players are heads-up. It can even be regarded as an American basketball culture. However, this is the last thing Shashevsky wants to see. Case. If it is the Dream Eight team, Shashevsky is willing to let the players go heads-up, Kobe, James, Anthony, Wade, Paul... Almost everyone in the Dream Eight team is a head-up player. However, the Dream Nine team is different. These future superstars are still too young. Even Durant, Shashevsky will not let him go too much with his opponents.
Sure enough, under the defense of Zhang Guan, Ross exhausted the offensive time. When the countdown was about to end, he reluctantly chose a jumper. This was his least reliable offensive method. However, Zhang Guan didn't even give him this unreliable offensive opportunity, and took a slap to fan the ball.
Shashevsky looked embarrassed. The next time he "dead the ball", he replaced Rose and replaced Westbrook.
......
"Whoosh!"
The Zhang Guan figure shook, Billups didn't stand in one step, almost fell to the ground, he couldn't help but use his hand to the ground, but Zhang Guan already had an open shot.
saw Zhang Guan started shooting, and at this time, Wei Shao had already rushed forward with the fastest speed, jumping high to prepare to block Zhang Guan.
Westbrook can be said to be one of the most powerful physical guards in active service. Today, he has just played nba for two seasons. His technology is far from being as pure as the future, and he is more dependent on his body to play. . For example, this supplementary defense, changing to another defender, may not be able to rush over in such a timely manner, but Westbrook's strong body can do this.
"Eat me, take it!" Wei Shao's face was unbearable.
However, Zhang Guan's hand stopped in mid-air, and basketball continued to catch Zhang Guan's hand.
"Oops, fake!" Westbrook realized this and was too late to close.
Zhang Guan jumped up against Westbrook, he was going to cheat a three plus one on Wei Shao.
Wei Shao also realized this point. If he was really hit by Zhang Guan, even if he didn’t score, it would be a three-time free throw, and if he scored a goal, it would be more likely to be three plus one, while Wei Shao had to carry his A foul.
At the next moment, Wei Shao's body twisted in the air, and he forcibly avoided Zhang Guan's "touch porcelain".
"Hidden by him, he is worthy of Westbrook. His body is in the air, he has completely lost his support point, but he can still dodge. If it is another player, I will definitely be hit by a three plus one. "Zhang Guan admire Wei Shao's personal ability. But admire the admiration, deserve the points, I saw Zhang Guan three-pointer shot, basketball hollow into the net.
"Bang!" The bench next to "Boom!" was a bit noisy, which was caused by Wei Shao. Although Wei Shao's movements in the air just forcibly avoided Zhang Guan, his body also lost his balance and fell directly on the bench next to the bench, causing a group of people to turn back.
Wei Shao did not have any hesitation. One turned up and stood up, ready to return to the field, but the referee stepped forward to stop him, and the team doctor of the US team came over with the medicine box.
"What's wrong?" Wei Shao was a little unclear.
"You are injured!" The team doctor pointed at Shaowei's head.
Wei Shao touched his hand and found that his head was wet. When he looked at his hand, he found that his hand was covered with blood stains. This was just fell on the bench and accidentally broke his head.
According to the rules, once the player sees red, he must go off the field to receive treatment, so Wei Shao must stop the blood off the field before he can play again.
The U.S. team can only make substitutions again. For Shashevsky, this was an unplanned substitution. Wei Shao played only less than two minutes and was forced to end. This is for Shashev. Something is too cost-effective for Skye.
Shashevsky turned his attention to the bench, and Curry immediately showed a look of eagerness, obviously hoping to play.
However, Shashevsky denied Curry for the first time. Now Curry, the offense is not stronger than other substitute players, but the defense is a big loophole. Unless Zhang Guan is not on the court, otherwise Shashe Nevsky was absolutely afraid to talk about Curry coming on the court.
"Eric, you come on!" Shashefsky ignored Curry's disappointed expression and called Eric Gordon directly from the bench.
Although Gordon is a little shorter, he wins with a strong body. Although the defense is not good, he is very hard-working, and he dares to fight against his opponent. In the eyes of Shashevsky, Curry and Gordon are two. Choosing one is tantamount to picking a general from the cripple, and can only choose one that is not so bad.
At this time, Love has also replaced Iguodala. In the lineup of the US team, except Billups, the other four starters have all gone down to rest. From this point, it is enough to see Shashevsky's trust in Billups.
On the Chinese team, the three main players of Dayao, Arab League and Zhang Guan are still on the field. This is not because coach Deng Huad doesn’t want to replace, but he dare not replace him at all. The scores of the two sides can still hold together. If the three players are replaced, the Chinese team may soon collapse.
It wasn't until the last two minutes of the first quarter that Deng Huad began to make substitutions, and the United States team also used the last two minutes to quickly pull the score and finally led 6 points to 25 to 19.
As soon as the second quarter started, Wei Shao's breakthrough made a two plus one, talking Guy hit a jumper, the United States team scored five points, instantly widening the point difference to double digits.
The gap between the substitutes and starters of the Dream Nine team is not big, but the Chinese team's substitute is much worse than the starter. Deng Huade had no choice but to replace Dayao and Zhang Guan. The two immediately led the Chinese team to a 9-9 climax, reducing the score to 5 points.
However, Deng Huade's face didn't show any joy. He was worried that Dayao's physical strength and foot injury could not support such a high-intensity game.
In the World Championships, the rest period between the first and second quarters was 120 seconds, so when he was full, Dayao just took a little more than five minutes of rest. This rest period has not fully recovered from a leg injury. For people, it is too few. What's more, this time, Yao faced Chandler and Love, the center of the starting level of NBA, whether it is the intensity of physical confrontation or the consumption of physical strength, it is much greater.
......
"Drink!" Dayao greeted Le Fu, making a dunk with both hands, while also causing Le Fu's foul.
"Brother Yao looks very excited today. He usually yells when he plays," Wang Shipeng said from the bench.
"Yeah, only half of the second quarter, he has already scored 17 points, the highest in the game, today Brother Yao will definitely be able to score 30 points. Maybe there is a chance to get 40 points! "
However, on the court, Dayao gasped. Although on the scene, he completely suppressed Love, but his physical strength also consumed a lot, and the serious injury on his foot also made him feel pain.
If it is in other competitions, he may have asked for the next break, but today is different. Today is the final of the World Championships, and he is most eager to win.
"Wow!" The penalty was hit and Dayao's score also reached 18 points.
Then, he quickly ran back to the backcourt, ready to defend, and he had just stood in position, Odom broke the ball to his near.
Dayao stretched out his arms as if a mountain was blocking Odom, and Odom could not even see the position of the rim. He had to stop the ball, and at the same time, the corners of his eyes remained The light saw Iguodala.
Odom shook his wrist and passed the ball to Iguodala. After receiving the ball, Iguodala did not hesitate and directly chose the shot.
Iguodala's shooting posture is beautiful, but unfortunately this goal was not scored.
"Rebound!" Iguodala shouted, and Love had already rushed up the first time.
Carrefour’s rebounding efficiency is very good. Although some people questioned him as a data brush, he has repeatedly obtained oversized double pairs of 30+20, which is enough to prove his strength on the rebound.
Facing Dayao, Carrefour did not flinch. He greeted him and prepared to grab this offensive rebound.
Both rushed towards basketball at the same time. Carrefour has no advantage in height~IndoMTL.com~but jumps very high. Although Dayao's height has an absolute advantage, he can't jump. This ball, the two are half a catty, almost hit the ball at the same time.
"Ah!" Dayao shouted loudly, struggling to grab the rebound, and then threw the ball to Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan sprinted the ball without hesitation, Wei Shao and Billups with gauze on their heads returned to defense at the same time.
"Two hits and one!" the commentator shouted loudly.
The faster Wei Shao has approached Zhang Guan, and he is even ready to block.
"Zhang Guan is too fast, don't foul!" Billups' voice sounded,
Wei Shao suddenly hesitated. He realized that if he fouled, it was likely to cause two plus one, so Wei Shao withdrew at the last minute.
Without anyone blocking, Zhang Guan scored two points.
"38 draw! We finally tied!" The Chinese team cheered from the bench. With more than three minutes left in the second quarter, the score will now be tied, at least to ensure that the first half will not fall too far behind.
With a rebound in the backcourt, Yao looked at the score and smiled comfortably.
"It looks like I can only walk here with you! Zhang Guan, I will leave it to you next."
The next moment, he sat on the ground in pain, covering his feet.
Dayao's old injury relapsed!
The Chinese team collapsed before the line... (to be continued.)
