Chapter 554: Dark Horse (3)

Yang Di was immediately impressed by the Greek men's basketball team, at least the little shark stood there, and his arms and thighs were obviously thicker than his, which was particularly bluffing.

When playing the U.S. team, the U.S. didn't have a strong inside line, and the Greek Sharks still started.

Because of his movement speed, agility and technical characteristics, the little shark can only play as a center forward, just like Yao Ming, Yao Ming can only be a center forward.

Playing the Chinese team, Yao Ming's height is 20 centimeters taller than that of a small shark, and his weight is slightly worse than Scenetis.

So head coach Ronitis put Skesenitis back on the bench and Greece started the same way they did when they played other teams.

Defenders: Spanolicas, 1.92m, Papalocas, 2m.

Forwards: Kakiossis, 2.04m, Fortesis, 2.09m.

Center: Papadopoulos, 2.10m.

In the starting lineup, in addition to Span, who just signed with the Rockets and shined in the semifinals of the American team, Papalokas is also a more famous figure.

Papalokas is the soul of this Greek men's basketball team, the commander on the court, Papalokas is better at passing than the aggressive Span , he is the 05 European Cup champion and MVP, known as the king of Europe, known as the strongest playmaking guard outside the NBA.

Sun Yue said that his idol is Papalokas, the 29-year-old has a very practical way of playing, and can always easily dismiss the opponent's complex defensive formation.

Yang Di told him, "You better not follow him, if you want to get a foothold in the NBA, you might as well learn from Sean Battier, Bruce Bowen or James Posey, these players are not the commander of the team, but they have played a pivotal role in the team and have made a name for themselves in the league." ”

The Chinese team starts, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, Yang Di, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming.

Since Yang Di has the ball, Younas feels that he can be suppressed with his height, such a lineup is full of athleticism, and the shooting also has the advantage of misalignment.

After a brief warm-up, the starters of both sides stayed on the pitch and the referee walked to the halfway line.

Yang Di twisted his neck and joints, still his favorite red jersey.

In the stands, fans wearing red Chinese team jerseys occupied a large area, and many fans had the words "China must win" tied to their heads, holding poles in their hands and waving the national flag, full of enthusiasm.

"There are more Argentine fans than in the previous two days." Yang Di was very happy, indicating that he and the Chinese team had received more support from fans.

It's been won back by their own performances.

At 19 o'clock in the evening, the game started on time.

Yao Ming and Papadopoulos jumped the ball, Yao Ming took the lead in touching the basketball and picked the ball back to the halfcourt, Yang Di received the ball, Wang Shipeng and Sun Yue walked forward.

Yang Di dribbled to the front court, no need to command, Yao Ming had already fallen in the low position to ask for the ball.

Yang Di's theory is correct, the Chinese team does not need so many complex tactics at all, the more dribbling and passing, the more opportunities to make mistakes, it is better to spend some physical strength, simple attack, efficiency may not be improved, but at least it will not give the opponent the opportunity to easily counterattack.

Yao Ming hit Papadopoulos on the inside, turned around in one step, and turned over for a jumper.

Since seeing Yang Di turn over and jump shots more and more proficient, and with this kind of easy scoring every time, Yao Ming has re-emphasized this technique, and in the recent national team training, he has kept revisiting this skill, on the one hand, it is to save physical strength, on the other hand, Yang Di is on the inside, and he no longer needs to do the rebounding work.

"Huh!"

The first ball was hit, and the height of 2.26 meters turned and leaned back, and Papadopoulos looked helpless.

The scene was thunderous, and the fans immediately applauded and cheered, seeing the Chinese team score a goal, they felt like they had scored a goal themselves, and they were very excited.

Greece attacked, Papakalos dribbled.

Papakalos organizes the offense in the frontcourt, and like Argentina and Lithuania, Greece also takes the overall route, and the concept of basketball is to move the ball to the hands of people who have more open positions or offensive opportunities.

Papadopoulos came out to block Papakalos.

The moment he finished the pick-and-roll, Papadopoulos went down to the basket, Papakalos passed the ball, and Dopoulos became empty.

He held the basketball with both hands in his lower hand, Yang Di was the first to help defend it, Span cut in the air, took Wang Shipeng away, and he transferred to the weak side around 45 degrees.

When Sun Yue made up for the basket, Kakiossis got an open opportunity.

Kakiosis made a jumper with a three-point shot that missed.

Yang Di turned around, a brute beast crashed away from everyone, and then jumped high on the heads of Span and the others, exceeding the rebounding ball that rebounded from the basket.

"Smack!" As soon as he slammed his hands together, the sound reverberated throughout the Saitama Super Arena.

"Yang Di's rebounding is so handsome!"

"It's like Sakuragi Hanamichi!"

"Sakuragi Flower Road, how can Yang Di be powerful!"

Fans who like Yang Di like every action of Yang Di on the court, even the high-fives of Yang Di and his teammates have become something they compete to imitate.

The Greek fans were a little disappointed that the Greek team didn't throw in the empty spot, but it was a pity that they had such a good opportunity.

In the stands, the other six teams in the quarterfinals came to watch the game, after all, after the game tonight, there will be a medal ceremony, and this year's World Championships will also end this evening.

The camera still switched to the faces of the American Dream Team generals, all of them were very serious, their eyes revealed a sense of unwillingness and disappointment, looking at the two teams on the field from afar, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Yang Di advanced by himself, outside the three-point line, and stood with the ball.

He handed the ball to Sun Yue, then moved to the low post, and together with Yao Ming, the duo made a no-ball cover for Wang Shipeng, who ran all the way from the baseline to the left 45 degrees.

The effect of off-ball coverage was very good, Greece was forced to rotate the defense, Papadopoulos who defended Yao Ming went to replace Wang Shipeng, Fortesis supplemented Yao Ming, and Spanoulis could only defend against Yang Di.

Sun Yue immediately hoisted the ball in, and Span thought that if Yang Di received the ball in the low position, he would definitely not be able to prevent it, and it happened that Sun Yue's ball was also a little slow, so it was better to step forward and steal.

He immediately took the risk to pounce, and Yang Di glanced at the basketball and judged that the basketball might be cut off by Spann.

Immediately decided to move a step forward, and then jumped up in the air and grabbed the basketball first.

Span pounced on his head, Yang Di turned around and jumped out of the unguarded space, dribbled with both hands, and flew vertically under the basket, shaking his arms with both hands to dunk the basket, and the basketball hoop was deformed downward.

As soon as Yang Di's hand was released, he fell to the ground, and the ball rack shook irregularly, showing his terrifying strength at will.
