Chapter 241 Gorgeous Prologue(1/2)
Spahn faked a pass to Little Shark, successfully deceiving the Chinese team's attention, and then suddenly took action and threw the ball hard towards Diaman.
Sun Yue has actually been paying attention to every move of the Greek team.
He could clearly hear the roar of the Greek coach, and Sun Dasheng's English level was pretty good.
Since Diaman himself said that he was going to explode, Sun Yue immediately understood that the burden on him was even greater.
However, the pass was too sudden. Except for Diaman, who had already known it, Sun Yue did not react. The ball had already been firmly caught by Diaman.
Diaman's three-point shot is also very good, so Sun Yue immediately took half a step closer, accumulating strength at his feet and ready to jump up and block the shot.
If Diaman dares to pull up a three-pointer in front of him, then he doesn't mind giving the opponent a lesson.
The huge advantage in height, as well as excellent jumping and wingspan, make Sun Yue full of confidence.
Diaman also knows how difficult his opponent is.
Especially after more than a quarter of contact, he began to understand that this tall, yellow-skinned player had a physical condition that was not inferior to that of an American black man. The consequences of underestimating him would be very miserable.
Since the three-point sneak attack was blocked, Diaman had no choice but to take advantage of Sun Yue's close defense and start suddenly, hoping to use his own speed to get rid of Sun Yue's entanglement.
At the same time, the European Kobe was like a small electric motor running at full power, running wildly and irregularly in the Chinese team's half, like a fly without a head, which made it much more difficult for Su Yi to defend.
However, he forgot who Su Yi was. Su Yi was an expert in moving without the ball.
Using his super high game reading ability, Su Yi understood the Greek team's tactical changes in an instant. This was to let Diaman do the organizational work, while the European Kobe completely played an efficient off-ball sneak attack.
Spann's precise shooting ability makes Su Yi dare not relax easily. Su Yi is like the shadow of Kobe Bryant in Europe. No matter what method Spann uses, he just can't get rid of Su Yi's defense.
In desperation, the Greek Shark and the Greek power forward came to the high position at the same time, giving a pick-and-roll to the two defenders of their own team in an attempt to create a good opportunity to score.
Su Yi's fine "puppy footwork" once again broke the pick-and-roll tactic, not giving Spann any chance to shoot, and always stayed in front of him.
Sun Yue, who was defending Diaman, was caught in the attack. Even though he was very fast, he accidentally hit the little shark hard.
Finally got the chance to clean up the Chinese team. Looking at the rushing UAE, Diaman smiled disdainfully, made a sudden stop jumper, and sent the ball steadily.
The basketball is like a cannonball, after crossing a perfect parabola, it suddenly hits the center of the basket net.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing the ball fall steadily into the basket, Diaman and Spann celebrated with high-fives. They finally found a chance to get the score back. Although Yao Ming and Su Yi are very difficult to cooperate with inside and outside, they only need to follow this
Using a flexible pick-and-roll tactic and mobilizing the Chinese team's defensive players, they will definitely have a chance to equalize the score.
Sun Yue wiped the sweat from his head with some annoyance.
He really worked hard, but he was really powerless when it came to pick-and-roll tactics.
Ah Lian walked to Sun Dasheng's side and said apologetically: "This ball belongs to me. It's because I didn't help defend well. I will make them look good next time when I defend."
When Sun Yue heard the reticent Ah Lian comforting himself, his somewhat depressed mood suddenly improved. He smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a ball. They changed their playing style temporarily and we haven't adapted to it yet.
In addition, you can rest assured about Su Yi's defense. If Diaman repeats his old tricks in a while, we will double-team him. After all, the Ford you are facing is not a very accurate shooter."
Ah Lian nodded to express his agreement and understanding, and then the two adjusted their mood and prepared for the next round of attack.
…
Su Yi carried the ball and walked slowly.
He wanted to slow down the pace of the game a little bit.
The Greeks' counterattack momentum began to pick up slightly. The double pick-and-roll tactics led by Diaman really made Sun Dasheng, who was still immature in defense, somewhat unable to do what he wanted.
However, he also heard the conversation between Ah Lian and Sun Yue.
If the United Arab Emirates can help defend in time, the tactics that the Greek team just thought of will once again fail halfway.
Fortunately, the player at the power forward position of the Greek team is a little-known role player and does not require too much attention from the UAE.
Even shorting Ford would be better than giving Diaman a chance.
Therefore, after the Chinese team's defense once again found a way to suppress the Greeks, the last straw for the Greek team was to once again strengthen its offense.
Thinking of this, Su Yi came to the frontcourt, ignoring Spann in front of him, and glanced at Zhu Ba and Ah Lian.
The two immediately understood and moved to the outside at the same time.
The two striker role players of the Greek team immediately followed closely in horror.
They allowed their opponents to easily score three points under their defense, and the coach of the Greek team already scolded them bloody. They did not want the coach to be completely disappointed with them and lose their starting position.
Su Yi took another look at the performance of the Greek players on the field.
Diaman was not too concerned about Sun Yue's defense. Although Sun Dasheng scored a three-pointer, according to the information before the game, Sun Yue's three-pointer was not particularly outstanding. Therefore, Diaman
Be ready to leave Sun Yue at any time to help defend or double-team in other positions.
The little Shark inside was nervously blocking and defending with Yao Ming. He knew in his heart that whether his team could break the Chinese team's tactics, the key point was whether he could stifle Yao Ming's offense again.
In the last World Championships, Little Shark, who successfully defeated Yao Ming, was confident that he could teach Chairman Yao a profound lesson.
What he didn't know was that Yao Ming was upset about losing to Little Shark, so he hired a professional low-post offensive personal coach to ask for advice on how to deal with a dark and tough inside opponent like Little Shark.
Now, after four years of hard work, Yao Ming is no longer the same person he was before, and he is confident that he will give this big black guy a chance to get to know himself again.
Seeing that everything was proceeding according to the predetermined tactics, Su Yi no longer hesitated and suddenly started up like a giant elephant crushing everything. Under Spann's helpless expression, he successfully used his super strength to forcefully penetrate the inside, and then again at the edge of the penalty area.
Jump up suddenly.
Little Shark had no other choice. If he let Su Yi go, Su Yi would have scored two points. He also jumped up suddenly and collided with Su Yi in the air.
However, Diaman on the other side has left the high post and quietly cut inside, preparing to steal Su Yi's pass insidiously.
Su Yigang wanted to pass the ball to Yao Ming according to the tactics, but he saw Diaman's figure from the corner of his eye, so instead of passing the ball directly to Yao Ming, he knocked the small shark away in the air and used his waist and abdomen to dodge the ball.
Behind the arm of Little Shark, a clever short pass handed the ball to Dayao's hands.
This turn of events caught Diaman off guard. He saw that the ball had already reached Yao Ming's hands, so he fiercely defended it and cut the basketball in Yao Ming's hand with his right hand.
Chairman Yao is so experienced. He grabbed the ball with his big hands before the ball was firmly connected. He raised his arms high and just stood on tiptoes to push the ball into the basket.
"Boom!"
The falling ball hit Diaman on the head, filling his heart with bitterness.
Spann's defensive holes and Shark's rough defense are both fatal flaws of the Greek team. It happened that they met the Chinese team led by Su Yi and Yao Ming in the first game of the World Championships, and this shortcoming was infinitely magnified. If
If they can't solve this problem, then waiting for them will lead to a disastrous defeat.
"beep!"
The Greek team called another timeout.
This is an unavoidable delaying strategy. The Greeks need some time to think and respond. They are at a complete disadvantage when facing the Chinese.
If you want to win, you must reverse this situation.
Most of the second quarter has passed, and there are less than two minutes left in this quarter. Whether a breakthrough can be achieved by changing tactics depends on what happens after the timeout.
If there is still no change, then the Greek team should surrender.
Unlike the grieving atmosphere of the Greek team, the rest area of the Chinese team was filled with excitement and happiness. No one on the Chinese national team expected before the game that they would be able to play well in the first game against the strong Greek national team.
So oppressive.
In particular, Su Yi's outstanding performance completely dispelled Li Cunjiang's worries about him playing the No. 1 position.
Director Li's admiration for Su Yi cannot be overstated. This basketball genius who can play from the 1st to the 5th position is only in his early 20s and has huge room for improvement and potential. He is simply the "Chinese Magician".
No, strictly speaking, even a magician cannot match Su Yi's comprehensive and superb skills.
This usually cold-faced and stern coach was like a kind father at this moment, personally handing drinks and towels to the players.
He was thanking these handsome boys on behalf of the Chinese men's basketball team. They really showed the majesty of the Chinese and gave the Chinese men's basketball team a sigh of relief! They also made the Greeks who underestimated them suffer a heavy price.
Su Yi drank a sports drink and stared at the rest area of the Greek team. He saw the coach of the Greek team roaring angrily at his players. The situation was like an angry lion threatening to eat the small animals around him.
They are average.
Seeing this situation, Su Yi felt relieved. The Greek team must have no good solution, otherwise the Greek team coach would not be so angry. If they calmly analyze and think about the solution together, then Su Yi will still have some ideas.
fear.
Covering his face with a towel, Su Yi leaned on the bench to rest again.
This has become Su Yi's signature move. In the eyes of his teammates, Su Yi's murderous intent has finally diminished a lot.
The entire second quarter has been played so far. Although Su Yi did not choose to score points, he got 5 assists and 1 block. If the performance in the first quarter is included, Su Yi has already scored 8 points in just 18 minutes.
Comprehensive data of 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
You know, this is Su Yi's first time participating in the World Championships, and it is also his debut.
Achieving such results is enough to prove that his reputation as a genius is definitely well-deserved.
At 24:13, the Chinese team widened the point difference to 11 points and completely suppressed the Greek team on the court. This good situation almost represented the victory of this game.
However, Coach Li still patiently emphasized the Chinese team’s tactics to everyone.
To put it simply, Su Yi will organize the attack on the spot. If anyone has the opportunity, he must take action decisively, and if Su Yi has the opportunity, he can also take action himself.
Director Li gave Su Yi unlimited autonomy in firing.
