"Maybe he wants to challenge for the MVP in the NBA. Some European players who have never played in the NBA don't take NBA players seriously."
Zhang reasonably guessed.
"Now he should know he was wrong."
Sun Zhengping smiled.
"Hard to say."
Zhang Lili said very seriously. He obviously didn't have high hopes for the IQ of athletes. He had read too much gossip about the NBA. Even if Diamantidis shouted that the earth is flat, Zhang Lili would not be surprised.
Zhang Lili's words made the fans in front of the TV laugh.
Discovering that your IQ can crush those athletes is a good feeling for the audience.
On the court, the Chinese team is attacking.
Zhang Zhiyuan ran without the ball and then caught the ball and shot a jumper. Diamantidis blocked the shot.
The ball goes in.
Zhang Zhiyuan scored 5 points at light speed in the beginning and beat his opponent 5-0.
"The Spanish team can't guard the Zhang Yao combination, and the Greek team can't even do it. Now let's see if their three-pointers are accurate. If they can't perform well in the three-pointers, they will be disappointed in this game."
Zhang Lili analyzed.
The Greek team is attacking, and several outside players are running around looking for opportunities.
In 2006, they relied on this trick to upset the US team, and now they want to do it again.
Sun Yue, Zhang Zhiyuan and Zhu Fangyu were responsible for defending the perimeter and not giving the Greek team a chance.
Finally, Sfanolis took action.
The ball missed and Yao Ming took off the rebound.
The Chinese team attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan continued to attack with the ball. This time the Greek team finally sent someone to double-team.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball to Zhu Fangyu, and Zhu Fangyu made a jump shot, but the ball missed.
During the transition between offense and defense, Borosis received the ball from the basket and scored with a wipeout.
No matter which team it is, the proportion of interior offense will not be less.
The Greek team likes to shoot three-pointers, but they are actually not bad inside. Borosis is a very capable player.
During the transition between offense and defense, after Zhang Zhiyuan attracted the defense, Sun Yue passed the ball to Yao Ming, who had seized the position under the basket.
Yao Ming made a hook and steadily threw the ball into the basket.
7 to 2.
Spain can't defend it, and neither can the Greek team.
The Argentina and Lithuania teams, who were watching the game, began to re-evaluate the strength of the Chinese team after seeing this.
It may be an accident that the Chinese team defeated Spain once, but it is extraordinary to defeat Spain and Greece in succession.
On the court, the Greek team was counterattacking, Svanoris made a breakthrough layup, and Yao Ming made a big block.
Back on the offensive end, after Yao Ming attracted the defense, he made another behind-the-head pass. Sun Yue cut to the basket and caught the ball for a layup and scored.
Once this sneak attack is successful, you will score immediately.
The Greek team counterattacked, and Fordsis finally threw in a three-pointer to stop the team's bleeding.
9 to 5.
The Chinese team attacked. Zhang Zhiyuan broke through and attracted Kilinadas to cover up. Then with a pass, Yi Jianlian dunked the ball and scored.
11 to 5.
"This is the role of dual-core. With two stars whose strength is much higher, the team's strength will immediately soar."
Zhang Lili said.
"I still can't believe it, but suddenly our men's basketball team can compete against strong European teams."
Sun Zhengping said with emotion.
You must know that a year or two ago, the goal of the men's basketball team was just to qualify for the group stage and to compete against strong European teams.
But now, the men's basketball team has suddenly become a world-class team and has become a top team.
The progress is really too fast.
This is actually mainly because basketball is a five-person sport, and the improvement of a single player's strength has a particularly great impact on a team.
Unlike football, which is more dependent on the whole, in a basketball game, it is possible for one person to dominate the game.
The Chinese team has an MVP-level player and has become a top team. This is normal.
Give the Greek team an mvp and they can become a top team.
On the court, the two teams were going back and forth, and the fight was very intense.
But overall, the Chinese team always has the advantage.
Their scoring is relatively easy and stable, while the Greek team relies more on touch.
When the hand feels good, it can compete with the Chinese team. When the hand feels bad, the Chinese team will widen the gap.
Accumulating little by little, the Chinese team’s advantages are constantly expanding.
At the end of the first quarter, 25 to 18, the Chinese team was already leading by 7 points.
"Stable."
The Chinese fans were ecstatic, as if they had already seen the medal waving.
"It would be even better if we can beat the American team."
There were also some dissatisfied fans who lamented, but not many people responded.
They mentally evaluated the difficulty of defeating the US team and found that many conditions needed to be met to defeat the US team.
First of all, the American team needs to underestimate the enemy. The completely serious American team is too difficult to beat.
Secondly, the Chinese team must have a strong hand, and shooters such as Zhu Fangyu must hit a few more goals.
Furthermore, Zhang Zhiyuan needs to break out, and the US team needs to perform abnormally...
After thinking about this clearly, not many people think that the Chinese team can beat the Dream Team.
After a short break, the second quarter started.
Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming rested off the court first. Yunus wanted to see how the team performed without the dual core.
Then Yunus quickly came to the conclusion, no, it really can’t.
Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming are two strong offensive players. Without them, the Chinese team would not be able to score.
More importantly, Yao Ming is the inside gate on the defensive end, and Zhang Zhiyuan can lock down the opponent's core scorer on the outside.
Without the two of them, the Chinese team would have problems both offensively and defensively.
Ever since, Yunus replaced Zhang Zhiyuan early.
This is Zhang Zhiyuan's request. He hopes to play for a while longer.
In a game of this level, if he is lazy, he can play the entire game without taking such a long rest.
When the Chinese team attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan faced off against the opponent's substitute shooting guard Anytis and ran directly to the Greek team's penalty area.
Anyitis chased after him, and Zhang Zhiyuan reached out for the ball. Anyitis tried to interfere, but was squeezed away by Zhang Zhiyuan. The strength of the two was not at the same level.
He caught the ball, gained space to shoot, and was still close to the basket.
Zhang Zhiyuan easily scored two points.
32 to 27, the Chinese team regained the advantage.
The Greek team also made a substitution immediately, taking off Anytis and replacing him with Diamantidis.
Although Diamantidis can't guard against Zhang Zhiyuan, at least he won't be as vulnerable as Anytis.
The Greek team attacked, and Fordsis made a three-point shot, but the ball missed.
Yi Jianlian picked off the rebound and then made a long pass.
The ball was not passed very well, and it was about to pass over Zhang Zhiyuan's head. Diamantidis was already ready to catch the ball.
Zhang Zhiyuan leaned against Diamantidis, used his strength to push the opponent away, and then caught the ball.
Although the fast break opportunity was lost, at least the ball was kept.
Zhang Zhiyuan and other teammates came up and cooperated in positional warfare.
Yi Jianlian came up to cover the pick-and-roll, Zhang Zhiyuan dribbled past, and then Foster dropped Yi Jianlian and ran to double-team Zhang Zhiyuan.
At this time, Yi Jianlian had already passed down and rushed towards the basket.
Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball and accurately threw it over Yi Jianlian's head.
Yi Jianlian took off, caught the ball, and dunked.
34 to 27.
When the Greek team attacked, Diamantidis was a little anxious. After getting the ball, he started to attack, but Zhang Zhiyuan defended him firmly.
in front of.
Diamantidis darted left and right, but couldn't get past it, and in the end he had no choice but to make a pull-up jumper.
Zhang Zhiyuan interfered by jumping and the ball missed.
As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan came on the court, the Greek team fell into a scoring drought.
At this time, even spectators who don't understand football can feel Zhang Zhiyuan's role in the team.
The game continued. The Greek team struggled for a few rounds and began to feel better.
But it was useless, they still couldn't guard against the Chinese team's attack.
They worked hard to score two points, but as soon as they turned around, the Chinese team followed suit and scored two more points. Their efforts were instantly meaningless.
What's even more terrible is that a few minutes later, Yao Ming, who had been fully rested, also played again, and the entire Chinese team played.
The Greek team could no longer stand it.
Choosing to guard Zhang Zhiyuan, Yao Ming ran rampant under the basket.
Choose to double-team Yao Ming, and Zhang Zhiyuan will throw from the outside.
At the same time, guard against Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming, so that the rest of the Chinese team will have empty seats.
The Chinese team has a good chance every time they take a shot and has a high hit rate.
On the other hand, the Greek team was very reluctant every time they took a shot, and it looked like they were forced to take a shot.
Although I can score goals occasionally, I hit the iron more often.
At the end of the first half, 52 to 36, the Chinese team had led by 16 points.
"This guy is so awesome."
During the halftime break, Diamantidis complained, as if to defend his poor performance.
However, his teammates did not despise him, after all, what he said was the truth.
After fighting directly with Zhang Zhiyuan, they felt how terrifying Zhang Zhiyuan was.
"That was the MVP winner of the NBA last season."
Svanoris said.
nba is the world's top basketball league, and the mvp is the best player in the league in a certain year.
In short, at least this year, Zhang Zhiyuan is the best basketball player in the world.
"Group B is too difficult."
another player lamented.
Group B includes the United States, Spain, and China, which can be called the death group.
"Cheer up, we can lose, but we must not lose our momentum and confidence. We have defeated the American team before, and now
Can beat any team."
Papalukac said.
Then, the second half of the game started.
The Chinese team attacked first, and Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu worked together to cover Zhang Zhiyuan and block others.
They have regarded this game as a training match and began to try and practice various tactics.
Zhang Zhiyuan successfully caught the ball and shot.
Unfortunately the ball didn't go in.
But this is also normal. If you can maintain a shooting rate of more than 35% on three-pointers, you are considered qualified. There will definitely be more misses than hits.
Borosis protected the rebound and the Greek team counterattacked.
Papalukas' words seemed to have had a little effect. The Greek team played in a measured manner and seemed to have not given up the game yet.
Yao Ming defended Foster and missed Borosis, who scored a layup.
The Chinese team counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan and Yi Jianlian played a pick-and-roll, and then Zhang Zhiyuan broke through and Yi Jianlian came down from the other side.
Just such a simple offensive tactic makes it difficult for the Greek team to defend.
This time the Greek team did not double-team Zhang Zhiyuan, and Foster continued to follow Yi Jianlian and did not give him a chance.
So Zhang Zhiyuan chose to play singles on his own, and during the confrontation with Diamantidis, he made an emergency stop jump shot and made it.
Diamantidis spread his hands towards his teammates, saying that he tried his best, but there was nothing he could do.
He had already defended this ball well, preventing Zhang Zhiyuan from getting close to the basket.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan's shooting area is too wide and difficult to defend.
The Greek team attacked, and Svanoris broke through and caused a foul on Yao Ming, making two free throws.
The Chinese team counterattacked, and Yao Ming hit hard under the basket. Borosis was out of position defensively and was forced to foul. Yao Ming also went to the free throw line and made two free throws.
"Hey, if we fight like this, what can the Greek team do? They can't."
Zhang Lili commented.
"You're right."
Sun Zhengping.
On the court, the Greek team had no choice but to become impatient.
Borosis beat Yao Ming hard and his shot was blocked.
Zhang Zhiyuan picked up the basketball, and the Chinese team made another quick counterattack.
The score difference reached 20 points, and the Greek team had no hope at all.
Instead of trying hard to break through, Svanoris shot a three-pointer from the outside.
It doesn't matter if you can win the best, or if you can't win, you will lose anyway.
The ball goes in.
Sfanoris suddenly had mixed emotions.
The Chinese team is attacking and they are still practicing tactical coordination.
Zhu Fangyu made an air cut, Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball, and then Zhu Fangyu made a layup.
The Greek team counterattacked, and Borosis scored one by relying on his personal ability.
The two sides were going back and forth, and the rhythm was very fast.
By the end of the third quarter, the score was 78 to 57, with the Chinese team leading by 21 points.
In the last quarter, Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming played for three minutes, and then took a break early to let the substitutes come forward to feel the atmosphere of an international competition.
Wang Lei, Chen Jianghua, Du Feng and others have all received more playing time.
Probably because the team was so far ahead, they didn't have any psychological pressure, and they actually played well, at least better than the audience expected.
Even Zhang Lili couldn't help but praise the men's basketball team during the show, saying that the men's basketball team has achieved a breakthrough.
In the end, the Chinese team won the game steadily.
96 to 80, the Chinese team won by 16 points, saving some face for the Greek team, at least they did not massacre them.
In terms of statistics, the Greek team's Svanoris scored the highest score in the team, making 5 of 12 shots. Including three-pointers and free throws, he scored a total of 15 points.
Borosis had 14 points and 7 rebounds, and Fortes had 14 points.
Diamantidis, who faced Zhang Zhiyuan directly, performed poorly, scoring only 6 points on 2 of 9 shots.
What's worse is his defense. Zhang Zhiyuan turned his best defensive player honor into a joke.
The Chinese team's highest scorer is Zhang Zhiyuan, because he has played longer than Yao Ming and made more shots.
Zhang Zhiyuan made 9 of 14 shots, 6 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 26 points and 6 assists.
Yao Ming made 5 of 8 shots and scored 16 points including free throws.
Yi Jianlian made 5 of 10 shots and scored 13 points.
Zhu Fangyu scored 9 points and Sun Yue scored 8 points.
Wang Zhizhi scored 6 points, Li Nan scored 3 points, Wang Shipeng 4 points, Du Feng 2 points, Chen Jianghua 4 points, and Liu Wei 5 points.
Except for Wang Lei, everyone else made money.
Wang Lei also made two shots, but unfortunately he missed them.
By defeating Greece, the Chinese team can advance to the knockout rounds with second place in the group.
