Chapter Twenty-Three: Pride and Hate

Zhou Zheng's NBA super-outside dunk on the FIBA court was a huge stimulus for the Greek team, which was aiming to win the World Championships, and their basketball philosophy could not tolerate such a violent dunk that they felt was a provocation to their iron-clad defense. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yannerski yelled loudly from the sidelines, and he told his players that if Zhou Zheng got this dunk next time, he would roll to the bench and stay there.

Back in the half, the little shark saved the dignity of the Greek team, he easily squeezed Wang Zhizhi on the inside and scored a violent dunk.

This guy's tonnage is a heavy burden for Wang Zhizhi, and his thin body can't hold the little shark's demands in the restricted area.

Drip!

When the ball was stopped, Yi Jianlian came on the field to replace Mock.

"We play fast offense."

Zhou Zheng told the players.

This is the only way for the Chinese team to win.

However, at this time, the players did not put their fighting spirit on winning.

The vast majority of them, including the fans in front of the stadium and the television, never thought about winning.

Their biggest luxury for this game is to win with fewer losses.

After all, the opponent is Greece.

After all, we don't have Yao Shu now!

The Chinese men's basketball team has suffered from the hypochondriasis of 'I don't know how to deal with myself without Yao Shu'.

During the game, Zhou Zheng has always felt the luck and self-satisfaction of the players, and they feel that it is already very good to be able to play like this with the Greek team, and they are already proud. After all, even if Yao Shu is here, he may not be able to maintain such a long lead.

Zhou Zheng can't appreciate this kind of luck, he will not take 'less loss to win' as his game purpose. When you walk on the pitch, victory should be the only belief to pursue, I don't care who you are?

After Zhou Zheng came to the front court with the ball, Papalukas defended up. He is the number two or quasi-number one in this Greek team.

Everyone thinks he has what it takes to get into the NBA.

And he himself is convinced of this.

When Zhou Zheng threw him like a garbage bag on the side of the highway in the last round, he felt that he should do something about it in the next round.

So, he took the initiative to meet him.

But soon, he found that even if he tried his best, he still couldn't catch Zhou Zheng's traces.

"Your single defense is average in the NBA."

Zhou Zheng's words were still flowing in his ears, and Zhou Zheng's footsteps had already murdered his ankle...... Zhou Zheng cut the defense with a high-frequency change of direction that he couldn't imagine, and after opening up a bit of space, he completed the man-ball split in an incredible way.

This is a very serious stage, but Zhou Zheng used juggling skills to humiliate him.

Zhou Zheng divided Papalukas's defender and quickly rushed to the free throw line, Papaduburos hurriedly stepped forward to make up for the defense, but Zhou Zheng's basketball quickly hit the ground the moment he stepped forward.

Yi Jianlian saw the basketball coming, although she was stunned for a moment, she still grabbed the basketball quickly as a reflex, and then jumped high and poured the ball into the basket with both hands before the little shark defense caught up.

Greece's penalty area was bombed again.

Yannaski was already furious...... Zhou Zheng completely teased their defensive system.

He reached out and called a timeout.

"We can't let him tear our defense apart on his own, give him more physical contact, keep him from getting the ball out......

From the bench, Janaskski loudly emphasized the importance of physical confrontation and developed a defensive strategy of wrapping up.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng was also loudly arranging the tactical board on the bench, hoping to play a dynamic offensive mode and let everyone integrate into the offensive system.

However, the feedback received was not very obvious.

The players of the Chinese team are very happy with the current situation, and they believe that there will be a lot of ink in the newspapers tomorrow to describe the excitement of this game...... This will become a classic 'defeat but glory' in basketball newspapers.

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng simply put down the tactical board in his hand.

I still have a smile on my face, but I am determined in my heart.

This victory must be in the pocket, only in this way can the Chinese team have the confidence to defeat any opponent...... A team that always thinks that 'even if it loses', has no future.

"Zhou is the world's top point guard. Although he is not good at shooting, his breakthrough ability and assist ability are at the highest level. He tandem up the Chinese team's offense, and he makes it easy for his teammates to attack, which is a good point guard. ”

The CCTV host was already making a final decision for Zhou Zheng's coffin at this time: "Even if this game is finally lost, Zhou Zheng can walk out of Shougang Gymnasium with his head held high, 12 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, Yao Shu's national team debut is not so gorgeous, he came with the aura of a savior." ”

"We've won the future."

Director Zhang was concise and to the point.

This is a rotten sentence in the Chinese basketball circle, when a potential new star appears, you have to use this sentence to talk about things... The Chinese team won the future.

The meaning of this sentence can actually be called yes, the Chinese team lost now.

The iron is beaten now, and the future of flowing water.

The Chinese team has hardly won except for the Asian circle.

This kind of future, Zhou Zheng doesn't want.

If these two basketball commentators stood in front of him and said this to him, he would definitely tell them, "I want now." ”

Drip!

The whistle blows and the game continues.

After some tuning by Yannaski, the Greek team has a completely different momentum.

If the first three quarters were still a warm-up stage, now, the Greek team showed bayonets.

After serving, Spanollis took advantage of the Shark's pick-and-roll to break to the free throw line, then passed the basketball beyond the three-point line in a tight pass space, and Fortesis hit the basketball.

Spanoulis is very good at using pick-and-rolls to create breakthroughs and passes.

After the Chinese team served quickly, Zhou Zheng told Span Nollis with practical actions...... I don't need a pick-and-roll, I can tear up the defense.

And, what Zhou Zheng shredded was a bag clip.

He quickly sprinted to the front court with the ball, Spanoulis and Fortese squeezed in a menacing manner, and Zhou Zheng was unhurried, saw the stitches, found a good opportunity to break through their sheep-like defense, and forced a piercing through the center of their body...... The movements of the two at that moment were outward, and Zhou Zheng's feints were too deceptive, as if he had sprinkled a handful of buds into the sky, and when the pigeons flew all over the sky, he raised his gun!

Rumble!

Wang Zhizhi received a through ball from Zhou Zheng in the penalty area, and he split the basketball into the basket with one hand.

When he used his dexterous footsteps to run back into the penalty area, the little shark's clumsy body had not yet completed the turn, and Zhou Zheng's basketball had already passed to the penalty area very quickly.

A dunk is a natural course, and a good point guard is especially good at seizing fleeting opportunities to complete textbook assists.

Yannaski was very angry, he had played against the Athenian dream team, and he felt that the current Zhou Zheng was more like a combination of Iverson and Jason Kidd, this guy not only had ghostly speedy steps, but also looked like a wizard with a crystal ball... Find your opponent's defensive holes anytime, anywhere.

He doesn't like to face that kind of point guard.

"Defend his passes. Don't be close anymore, his shooting ability is useless. ”

Yannaski shouted for his disciples.

However, the effect is less pronounced.

After Papalukas made Zhu Fangyu's foul and made two free throws, Zhou Zheng quickly returned to the halfcourt, used Yi Jianlian's cover, passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi, and hit a high jumper.

Although the quality of the coverage of the Chinese team's interior players is not high, for Zhou Zheng, covering is a trick.

Yibian fought again, and the Greek team opened a gap on the inside.

They can score because the Chinese team's defense is better than nothing.

And they can't defend the Chinese team's score, Zhou Zheng is like an empty hand with a fossil gold, he completely opened up the offensive firepower of the Chinese team.

As the time got closer to the end of the game, the Greek team's defensive moves became more and more rude, and they have come to play this as if it were a real knockout game.

Under the rough defensive posture, the Chinese team's hand began to decline.

With 35 seconds left in the game, Greece was only one point behind.

At this time, the Greek team had no timeout, and they could only rely on Yannaski's loud shouting from the sidelines to adjust their tactics.

There was another timeout on the Chinese side, but it never called.

CCTV commentators constantly criticized Younas on TV, criticizing his rigid thinking, and they believed that when the Greek team's defensive action was getting bigger and bigger, and the Chinese team was getting colder, they should call a timeout for deployment.

Younas didn't know that he had carried this black cauldron for Zhou Zheng.

And the reason why Zhou Zheng didn't call a timeout was because he didn't think that calling a timeout would change anything. The game is still on its own at the final moment, and it would be best if the Chinese players could make the Greek team's defense play a little fire and blood.

Spanoulis arrived in the front court with the ball and stopped two steps beyond the three-point line, wasting his time. Yannaski's instruction was to play the last wave of attacks, leaving ten seconds for the Chinese team.

In his judgment, as long as the Greek team hits this ball, then it will win. Because the Chinese team will definitely call a timeout, and this timeout is the best time for Greece to adjust its defense. Defending the Chinese team, he now has experience...... The Chinese team does not have a strong single player at all, as long as the defensive intensity is improved, even the joint defense can make the Chinese team cry.

Spanoulis slapped the basketball very calmly, and Zhou Zheng took a step to defend him.

He's very patient, he's even more patient than Span.

Zhou was the king of key balls in the NBA last season, with a total of 4 kills and a 100% success rate.

He knows what to do at this time, and the rich experience gives him more confidence.

Spanoulis didn't have that chance, and when there were 12 seconds left on the offensive time, he started it, and he used Papaduburos' block to break through Zhou's defense, and when Zhou Zheng turned to chase up, he quickly handed the ball to Papalukas.

Papalukas feinted with the ball and passed to Fortesis, who ran back with a small shark cover.

The highest-scoring forward of the game received the basketball and jumped up quickly...... Swish!

He hit the golden jumper for Greece.

This goal officially overtook the Chinese team, which was the first time that Greece overtook in this game.

There are only 12 seconds left for the Chinese team, and if the Chinese team can't seize the last opportunity to fight back, then... Greece's first lead of the game will seal the win directly, with the victory cosplay 'the last person to laugh'.

When the audience screamed.

The Chinese team quickly sent the ball to Zhou Zheng.

At this time, the Greek team was still immersed in great excitement, and they thought that the Chinese team would call a timeout.

However, Zhou rushed to kill the past like lightning.

Spanoulis was the first to react, and he quickly pursued it.

Papalukas also hurried back to the defense.

The tactical literacy of the Greek team was quickly activated.

And when they all returned to half-time, Zhou Zheng stopped.

He smiled and looked at Spanolys, "Teasing you." ”

Spanoulis didn't think the joke was funny at all.

"But you don't have a chance. Listen, I'm going to make a jumper at the top of the three-point arc. ”

Zhou Zheng pointed to the position behind Spanolys: "Yes, that's it." ”

Spanoulis is a player who plays in the European Union, and this kind of rampant trash talk is not very popular there...... Individual heroism is not so popular in European sports.

"No kidding, boy."

Spanouris shook his head: "It's not funny at all. ”

"I'm not kidding."

Zhou Zheng emphasized this point, and then took a step.

At this point, Yannaski did not move the pack to defend.

He left the defense to his henchman, Span Nor Ris, who he thought would be able to do the job with ease.

However.

Syllable!

Zhou Zheng's reasoning basketball hit the left side of Spanoulis like a sharp knife out of its sheath, and by the time the basketball bounced back at a sharp rate, he had not fully reacted. At the same time, Zhou Zheng had already invaded the door, Zhou Zheng's right foot firmly stepped on his left side, and his body showed a cheetah-like bow posture.

Spanoulis subconsciously took a step back.

He felt that Zhou Zheng had already filled his bow and arrows, and it was impossible to have any more arrows to turn back!

"It must be a breakthrough! It must be a breakthrough! ”

Yannaski was also clenching his fists excitedly on the sidelines, and he felt that the victory was half done.

Syllable!

Zhou Zheng's basketball hit forward again, and his footsteps were also taken at the same time, the force of the basketball hitting the ground was very heavy, and the rebound trend became more and more aggressive. Zhou Zheng's footsteps show a determination that there is no return.

This made Spanoulis completely forget about the previous 'joke'.

He took another step back with confidence and boldness, and he was ready to seize the defensive opportunity and block the way Zhou Zheng was going

However, at the moment when Zhou Zheng's center of gravity was completely leaning forward, the whole person was like an uncontrollable bow and arrow, and he rushed towards the three-point line...... Yikes!

Spanoulis heard the loud grinding sound coming from the floor.

It's like the devil's minions carving a terrifying mark on the hard rock!

Yes, Zhou Zheng stepped on the steps of the emergency stop.

And the ball is collected quickly.

At this point, Spanoulis was completely unable to stop his receding center of gravity.

He could only watch Zhou Zheng drift away from his eyeballs...... Then, Zhou Zheng jumped above his frightened eyes and struck out...... He had just stopped when the basketball slid across the sky overhead.

It's too late.

He saw the boy's smug smile.

It's like the first time he looks at him, the whistling sound that has been raised in his ears, proud and hateful!
