Almighty Athlete Chapter 85: Can’t get 30 minutes in the half?

Panagiotis Yannakis, the coach of the Greek men’s basketball team. His young man was once the greatest player in the Greek men’s basketball team. He was the second scoring leader in Greek history. After the men's basketball team, he also led the Greek team to win the European Championship in 2005 and the second runner-up in the 2006 World Championship; he is the only European basketball who won the European Championship as a player and coach, and won the championship in 1987 as a player ; Winning the championship as a coach in 2005. It is worth mentioning that Yannakis will also be the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future.

Yanakis’ coaching philosophy is to create a defense with a copper wall and iron walls. Although the players of the Greek team are very accurate in shooting, Greece’s offense is not good. They rely on high-intensity defense. Yannakis converted the Greek team into a strong defensive team. In the 2005 European Championship, the Greek team did not allow an opponent to score more than 70. And this play was even more powerful in the 2006 Men's Basketball World Championship, helping the Greek team defeat the powerful American basketball dream team.

At this time, facing the upcoming game, Yannaski looked very relaxed.

"Boys, I know some of you may think that the next game doesn’t matter. We are already qualifying anyway, but don’t forget, we have to play the knockout. If we lose against the Chinese team, we will Ranked fourth in the group, we will face the Lithuanian team in the first round of the knockout. No one here should be willing to play the Lithuanian team with the knockout!" Yannaski said as he glanced at the crowd, and then said: "At present, the goal difference On the top, we have an advantage over the Spanish team, so if we can win a big score in this game, we will have the opportunity to win the second place in the group. When faced with Croatia, our promotion will be easy. More."

"Some of you may despise the Chinese team, but don’t forget that the Chinese team is playing at home, so we will inevitably encounter a lot of pressure in the game. And the Chinese team also has Dayao, and our inside line is in It can be said that the Chinese team is completely at a disadvantage. So, don’t have any chances, take this game seriously!” Yannaski said while extending a finger, then said: “I There is only one point to emphasize, that is defense! I need you to show the strong defensive level of our Greek team. I will give you a goal in this game, which is to limit the score of the Chinese team to 30 points at halftime! We want the Chinese team to get even 30 points in the first half!"

After hearing Yannaski’s words, many players from the Greek team frowned. After all, the Chinese team has the world’s top center like Yao, and wants to match the Chinese team in the halftime game. The score is limited to 30 points, which is not an easy task.

"Why? Are you worried that you can’t do it? I tell you that the German team has done this, so I believe that you can certainly do it." Yannaski continued: "And my request is still Not only that, but defense is not enough. I want you to lead by more than 15 points in the first three quarters. I just said that if we want to be second in the group, we must win a big score in this game. The first three quarters , We lead by 15 points, the whole game, we have to win the Chinese team 25 points or 30 points, so that we can hope to lead the Spanish team in victory and defeat points, ranking second in the group!"

After finishing, Yannaski turned his head to look at Papalukas, and then said: "The Chinese team has a strong inside line, but the outside line, especially the position of the point guard, is very weak. , You want to put pressure on their point guard as much as possible."

......

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the Chinese men's basketball game against the Greek men's basketball team officially started.

After a brief opening ceremony and player preparations, five players from both teams started on the field.

The five starting players of the Greek team are Gastropoulos, Diamantidis, Fordis, Spanoris and Gillidanjaski.

For the Chinese team, the starting five tigers are Dayao, Arab League, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue and Zhang Guan.

After the starting players of both sides came on the court, the audience immediately heard a loud and noisy discussion.

"I'm right, is that Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan debut?"

"Really Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan starting! Yunas did not let Liu Wei start, but chose Zhang Guan."

"Zhang Guan debuted! I really didn't expect Zhang Guan to debut in this game. I can see the sharp breakthrough of Zhang Guan, and this time it was not the last time of the game, but the beginning of the game. ."

After a short discussion, the audience immediately gave cheers. This cheer is of course given to Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan has unparalleled popularity in China. As long as he appears, there will be cheers from the audience without hesitation.

......

Papalukas, the number one general of Greece, sorted out his equipment and prepared to go on the field. At the same time, he was thinking about how to organize the offense after the game started.

"The Chinese team's point guard is No. 5. I have an impression of this player. Let me think about it. I remember that we played against the World Championships two years ago. He is a point guard with a desire to attack. However, his physical fitness is more general, and I can use the full-field pressing to greet him later!"

At this moment, there was a sudden disturbance in the audience, followed by continuous cheers.

Papa Lucas frowned, "Chinese fans are really enthusiastic, but this is also normal, after all, it is the home team of the Chinese team..."

A few seconds later~IndoMTL.com~ The cheers haven't dissipated, which made Papalukas a little unknown.

"Even at home, this is not how it looks like, why are the fans still cheering? This is abnormal, wrong, something is wrong!" Papalukas finally realized that something was wrong, and he subconsciously walked towards it The Chinese starters on the field looked away.

"13th, 12th, 11th, 9th, 8th... No. 5? The Chinese team's No. 5 didn't play? Wait? No. 12? How come I have no impression of this number, who is he? "Papalukas looked at the number 12 of the Chinese team. Although this number is very strange to him, but this athlete is no stranger. When Papalukas saw the face of the 12th, that I recognized him.

"Zhang Guan! The number 12 of the Chinese team turned out to be Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan played! The Chinese team has changed?"

Papa Lucaston felt a little caught off guard. Although the "strongest point guard outside the NBA" has incomparably rich game experience and a very high quotient, he did not understand the Chinese team for a while. What to do.

"Let's follow the original plan first, and wait until the game sees the tricks!" Papalukas thought silently. (To be continued.)
