In the 2006 World Championships, the Greek men's basketball team met the Celestial Empire men's basketball team in the quarterfinals. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team played a wonderful first quarter, and the Greek team played inseparably in the first half, but in the second half, according to the previous practice, it was defeated by the Greek men's basketball team.

Of course, about that World Championships, the Celestial Empire fans have more memories of Wang Shipeng's three-point decisive victory against Slovenia, and the Greek men's basketball team's defeat of the young Mengqi, but lost to the Spanish team that lacked Pau Gasol in the final.

This Greek men's basketball team is not much different from the World Championship team, the main team is basically the same, and the Greek coach is still Giannakis, who is known as the "Tyrannosaurus".

The old man was a die-hard man who was probably even more stubborn than Younas, and his life's credo was three words: "Patience, discipline, and faith." ”

But judging from the number of roars in the game, this guy is indeed more "grumpy" than Younas's coaching style.

To be honest, from the perspective of those who understand the game, as long as you look at which coach roars more fiercely on the sidelines, you can probably guess the performance of the players on both sides on the field and the basic trend of the game.

Yao Ming and the opposing center Brosis stood in the center circle and jumped the ball, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team won the ball first.

Liu Wei dribbled the ball across the half court and was immediately attacked by Papalukas, the 2-meter-tall point guard was once the first person in Europe, and his defensive and organizational standards are world-class.

Liu Wei can bear it in front of the average European and American point guards, but in the face of Papalucas's aggressive defense, it is very uncomfortable.

Ruan Erniu had to run to the periphery to receive the ball as soon as possible, Fortesis, who was defending Erniu, did not follow, and Erniu went directly to the three-point line and missed!

Brosis grabbed the rebound and passed to Papalukas, who dribbled across half court.

Liu Wei faced Papalukas, who was two meters tall, and looked like a junior player challenging the senior players.

After a tactical run from Greece, Diamantidis scored a jumper from mid-range space.

The game went into the rhythm of the Greeks from the start.

On the offensive end of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, Liu Wei sent a baseline ball to Sun Yue, and Sun Yue wanted to turn around the opponent with a back when passing Diamantidis's defense, but was seen through by Papalukas not far away.

He suddenly rushed forward, broke the basketball in Sun Yue's hand, and then took a big stride, easily layup, and successfully scored two points.

Two years have passed, and in the face of the fierce pressing of the backcourt of the Greek men's basketball team, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team is still helpless.

Younas roared again, but he didn't have any idea of substitution.

Liu Wei and Sun Yue are already the two most stable ball carriers in the team, and even they were forced to be like this by their opponents, and if they were replaced by Chen Jianghua or Zhang Qingpeng, they could only lose even more.

Liu Wei finally successfully brought the ball over the frontcourt, Zhu Fangyu ran out of the empty position with the help of Erniu's cover, and shot outside the three-point line, but still missed.

Fortesis took the backcourt rebound and passed to Papalukas, who made a beautiful crossing pass.

The ball came from the crack to Vasilopoulos, who was running at the front, and the Greek small forward scored with both hands in the basket without being guarded.

The Celestial Empire men's basketball team was stopped, and during this time, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team was knocked to the ground by an opponent's punch.

This is the first time since the start of the Olympics that the Celestial Empire men's basketball team has been so embarrassed by the opponent in the first quarter of the game, and in the previous games, the Celestial Empire men's basketball team has always been the leading side, such a bad start is the first time since their Olympic Games.

Younas severely criticized Liu Wei and Sun Yue, thinking that the two were too slack.

Ruan Erniu suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to play point guard, how about it?"

Younas looked at Ruan Erniu in surprise, he didn't expect Erniu to come up with such an idea at this time.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and the gap between us on the outside is more obvious than on the inside, and I'm going to play the number one position and I can limit Papalukas on the defensive end. ”

Erniu is not wrong at all, the reason why the Celestial Empire men's basketball team started so badly.

It is directly related to the full-court defense and excellent organizational skills of Greek leader Papalukas, and being able to strangle Papalukas on defense is definitely the biggest blow to the Greek men's basketball team.

Younas also seemed to be used to Ruan Erniu's self-assertions, and after just a few seconds of thinking, Younas agreed with Erniu's idea.

But Younas said at the end: "If you can't handle Papalukas, you don't want to play again in this game!"

Ruan Erniu smiled: "Sir, don't worry, I won't give you this opportunity!"

Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, and Ruan Erniu returned to the court, and this time, Erniu appeared in the point guard position.

Allen sent out the baseline ball, Erniu held the ball in the half, Papalukas was obviously a little stunned, what is the situation, the inside player of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, by the way, is the NBA's FMVP as the point guard?

Without waiting for Papalukas to react, Ruan Erniu accelerated and had already passed the other party.

Papalukas chased after him, and Erniu went all the way to the inside of the Greek team.

Brossie's defense was a step slower, and the rushing Erniu completed a wonderful one-man dunk, opening the prelude to the Celestial Empire men's basketball team's scoring chase.

Papalukas was once the first man in Europe, and after dribbling through the half, he sent the ball through again, and the Greek team once again made a big gap through cross-switching.

Fortesis cut the basket in the air, and Allen lost it.

Just when everyone thought that Fortesse would complete the offense with a dunk, Sun Yue ran to the position of the defense in advance, and a big hat fanned the ball out.

Pretty!

No fouls.

Under the rules of FIBA, Sun Yue's defensive skills are quite good, and he can cover from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, even if he goes to the Lakers, if he can play to his advantages in this regard, he is still quite competitive.

In the battle with the United States men's basketball team, he also had wonderful blocking scenes against Howard and Anthony.

Ruan Erniu took this rebound and dribbled the ball to the opponent's half.

In normal times, Papalukas uses his huge advantage in strength, it is entirely possible to suppress the opponent's speed and force the opponent to slow down with physical confrontation.

But in the face of a brute force monster like Ruan Erniu, this trick is not easy to use.

As soon as Ruan Erniu exerted his strength, Papalukas were pushed aside.

Erniu did his best and ran to the frontcourt, and there was no defender by his side.

It's show time!

Erniu threw the ball to the basket in one step at the free throw line, then jumped high, and after receiving the rebound ball in the air, he made a big loop with his arm and used a big windmill to dunk the ball into the basket.

After the depression after the opening kick-off, the fans at the scene were once again plunged into a sea of joy.

The girls of the women's basketball team also applauded Erniu's domineering dunk.

The second leader also smiled and applauded.

Ruan Erniu did play dignity and friendship for the Celestial Empire men's basketball team.

After experiencing the discomfort of the opening.

The Celestial Empire men's basketball team changed Ruan Erniu to the No. 1 position, and now it's their turn to catch up.

After that, in the first quarter of the game, the two teams played back and forth, Ruan Erniu was indeed not afraid of Papalukas's defense, but on the offensive end, Papalukas's methodical organization and combing still made Erniu helpless.

This is not an offensive player, his biggest role is to make his teammates better, Erniu's defense is excellent, but it still can't stop him from sending exquisite passes.

At 25:27, the first quarter of the game ended, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team trailed the opponent by 2 points.
