Chapter 555: Dark Horse (4)
"The Chinese team's tactics are as simple as that, just wait for the opponent to make a mistake, and if they don't make a mistake, they will attack." Wade pointed to the field and said flatly.
"If the Chinese team beats the Greek team, then it will be even more pity for us, because I think it is easy to beat the Chinese team."
"When playing the Chinese team, Yao Ming and Yang Di didn't go all out, right?"
As soon as James's words fell, the stars of the American team looked at him.
"In the second half of that day, he was full force, but in the first half, he didn't attack at all, and I defended him, I know best. In the final analysis, as the leader of the Chinese team, he has long seen through which games should be won and which games should be abandoned. ”
"It's useless to be at the top of the group, at the end of the day, it's about winning all the knockout rounds." Bosh sighed that the first place in the four groups of ABCD and three of them did not enter the finals.
Everyone was depressed, and then there was silence again, looking at the court, not a taste.
Yang Di has first-class speed, top strength, frontcourt ball control breakthrough, a crotch shook off the defensive Fortsey, and then he controlled the ball with his left hand, after occupying the position advantage, the second step put Fortsis clean, in front of Papadopoulos, who made up for the defense, made a layup.
"Neither the Chinese team nor the Greek team has won the World Championships, so there will definitely be a new champion in this year's World Championships."
"The Greek team doesn't have any big stars, and the overall overall strength is quite good. The Chinese team is the opposite, Yao Ming and Yang Di are two superstars, and the rest of the players are more average. ”
When the local TV station in Japan commentated, the host said.
If other Chinese players heard it, they would be unhappy, even if they were average, it would be much better than the Japanese men's basketball team, okay?
Yang Di never said that his teammates were not good, he has always advertised himself as a very good team player, and victory or something is inseparable from the support of everyone.
Greece's head coach Ronitis felt terrible, and after playing the United States, he seemed to have used up the form of the Greek team, and even Spann had missed two shots.
Papadopoulos didn't dare to make a move when he hooked his hands in front of Yao Ming.
Papakalos was the best performer for Greece on the pitch, and the European king twice forced Sun Yue and sent a clever pass to Span, but Spann didn't make a move.
With China in the lead, Ronitis called a timeout.
"Keep this kind of defense, don't make mistakes easily, if they want to attack, then let them attack, don't foul easily, consume their stamina." Ronitis said loudly, firmly in his basketball thinking and philosophy.
On the other hand, Younas asked for a focus on three-point shooting.
"Spanolis and Papacarus are both great three-pointers in Europe, and Spanolis made three three-pointers in the previous game against the United States, and we have to be wary of their three-pointers, although they are in the lead, but once they have three points, they can recover the score by two in a row."
Yang Di also thinks so, what Yang Di hopes most is that the Chinese team will focus on three points and baskets, as for long-distance two-point shots, if they score, there is nothing to say, that area has always been the area with the lowest shooting rate, compared to the input and output of three-point shots, the efficiency is particularly low.
In this way, when they get back on the field, the hit rate of both sides is lower.
Yang Di also missed two balls, relying on Yao Ming's high-flying shooting rate, the Chinese team led 18-12 in the first quarter.
"Greek Shark" Skesenitis was introduced, and at the same time, Diamantitis, an important outside scorer of the Greek team, appeared.
Diamantitis is 1.96 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms, nicknamed "Octopus Man", and has been elected as the best defensive player in the European League all year round, and was selected for the European Championship Team of the Year with Papalukas last year, with assists, points, rebounds, and a very comprehensive skill.
This year's Greek men's basketball team starts, the lineup has been changing, Spann has also played as a substitute, Papalukas has also played as a substitute, and in the finals, Diamantitis also played as a substitute.
In the second quarter of the game, Diamantitis took the lead in firing, hitting a 2-point jumper from a step-back, and Papalukas hit a 3-pointer at the top of the arc, and the Greek men's basketball team was close to the score.
Yang Di, who was still on the court, received the ball and attacked strongly, causing a foul on the inside "Greek Little Shark" Skesenitis.
Skesenitis was also a little depressed, when Yang Di turned around and rushed over, he was still holding the veteran of the Chinese team (Wang Zhizhi), when he reacted, Yang Di had already shaken Casokis, and he made up for it, Yang Di seemed to deliberately lean over and make a foul.
Yang Di walked to the free throw line, and many people on the scene called for "MVP".
Yang Di made free throws and hit both free throws.
Diamantitis assisted Casokis on a mid-range jumper, Greece scored the third wave of attacks in a row, and Yang Di reminded his teammates on the court,
"Stay focused!"
Greece is also a defensive formation of the joint defense, but Yang Di is not a player of the United States team, and he likes to crack it with his back in the low post to deal with the joint defense.
In Yang Di's view, the reason why several of his good friends of the American team lost to Greece was because they still didn't learn how to play international games correctly. In the NBA, they have all been accustomed to nohandcheck, and when it comes to FIBA, which has no defense for three seconds, the court is smaller, and the offensive tempo is slower, the breakthrough is greatly reduced.
No matter how good the low-post offense is, the regional joint defense on both sides of the baseline is not easy to manage at all.
But in this year's entire U.S. team, not to mention the outside players, the inside players will not be low, and Elton Brand can be seen a little bit, which is why he ended up in the starting lineup. However, Brand is too short and still hasn't played much against the strong Greek inside.
Yang Di and Yao Ming are both good at attacking in the low post.
After Yang Di hit Casokis twice with his back, he turned his back and came over, and the Greek men's basketball team immediately took the bag like a big enemy, he scored one point out, and Zhu Fangyu was in an empty position.
Zhu Fangyu received the ball at the three-point line, there were not many opportunities to adjust, and the Greek men's basketball team rotated quickly, and he decisively pulled up the shot.
Hit!
The Chinese team also hit a 3-pointer, and Yang Di smiled with satisfaction.
Diamantitis missed a three-point shot, Yang Di scored two points on the board, and then Liu Wei also hit a 3-pointer, and the Chinese team played a wave of small high-tide and soon took a double-digit lead.
The Greek team felt cold, and at halftime, the Chinese team led the Greek team by 11 points 43-32.
The huge score difference stunned the commentators before the game, and they all knew that the outcome of this game was unpredictable, but who knew that after halftime, the Greek team had a faint tendency to collapse, could it be that the Chinese team was already so strong?
