Chapter 22: Unprecedented
Bang!
Spanoulis failed to single Zhou Zheng again, and his jumper from the free-throw line was met by Zhou Zheng's stubborn save. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
For Zhou Zheng's entanglement, Spanoulis seemed a little helpless.
Obviously, I watched this guy on TV always be cleaned up in the confrontation, how did he become so tenacious in front of me? It's like a disgusting piece of kraft candy, slimy.
After Spanoulis' basketball was kicked out of the box by Wang Zhizhi, Zhou Zheng took the lead, controlled the basketball in front of Papalukas, and then launched a fast offensive attack. After breaking through the frontcourt, he quickly handed the basketball to Wang Zhizhi, who suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the three-point line...... Swish!
This time, he finally threw the ball into the basket.
"The Chinese team played very smoothly. Zhou Zheng returned to the FIBA system, and his body was still as light as a swallow, like an arm. ”
The host of CCTV praised Zhou Zheng as a flower: "This is the ability of a super point guard, basketball will never lie." ”
Director Zhang agrees with the host's statement: "The trend in international basketball is that the pace is getting faster and faster, whether it is the NBA or FIBA, everyone is pursuing more and more efficient offense. Zhou Zheng has seized this trend, so he can mix like a fish in water under both systems. ”
"But... I think the Greek team is still a bit loose defensively, they don't take this warm-up game very seriously. ”
The host muttered.
"Hmm." Director Zhang also agrees with this view: "The Greek team still doesn't take us very seriously, and their opponents are probably only... Spain, Argentina and the American Dream Team. ”
Director Zhang's words were very sad.
But that's the reality.
People just use you as a warm-up object, and they don't see you as a real competitor at all.
It's a feeling that makes excited fans feel breathless.
At this time, Younas was also out of breath, he didn't expect Zhou Zheng to really lead the team to play a new momentum, and what he didn't expect was that the Greek team didn't take this game seriously...... Despite their strongest starters, they didn't play a suffocating meat grinder-like defense, and on the offensive end, they were more about honing their individual offensive skills and didn't play a dense team attack.
"This is not normal Greece."
Younas kept saying this.
However, he had to admit that the last game he commanded was also against an abnormal Australia, but in that game, the Chinese team lost miserably.
The time went fast and neither side fell into a real FIBA rhythm...... There are no rough fouls to disrupt the rhythm, no to those tough rams.
The intensity of the game can only be said to be a little bit stronger than in the training camp.
At this intensity, the Chinese team relied on the rapid offensive led by Zhou Zheng to maintain the lead in the score.
The game was played in a friendly atmosphere.
The confidence of the Chinese players continued to accumulate throughout the process, and the joy of the fans continued to rise.
"In the absence of Yao Shu, this is the best performance of the Chinese team."
The CCTV host roared excitedly: "When Yao Shu, the first center under the FIBA system, returns, we have reason to believe that the Chinese men's basketball team will definitely win a medal in the 08 Olympic Games." ”
When the host looked forward to the 08 Olympics, the game had already reached the fourth quarter.
At this time, the Chinese team led by 13 points.
Zhou Zheng returned to the bench and ran three quarters in a row, feeling a little tired physically.
He asked Liu Wei and Chen Qihua to stay on the court at the same time and control the situation.
At this time, the Greek team put away its loose stance.
Although they were here to warm up, they didn't want to reap a defeat.
Yannasky gave the death order to take away the victory.
As a result, Spanoulis put away his singles style and teamed up with Papalukas to put on a tough defense to block the Chen and Liu duo.
Chen and Liu, one is immature, one is sophisticated, one is radical, and the other is steady. Zhou Zheng originally expected them to be able to control the rhythm one by one, but they were still cut off by the Greek duo. Liu Wei fell into a muscle jungle, and Chen Qihua became a headless fly.
The two commanders who combed the rhythm were locked in advance, and the rules of the Chinese team were immediately messed up.
Either it consumes a lot of time and struggles to get through half the court, or the basketball can't get out of your hands.
The two point guards didn't play the chemistry that Zhou had imagined.
This makes the brow tighten.
Syllable!
In the blink of an eye, Liu Wei was forced to steal by Papalukas in the middle line, although there were some suspicions of fouls, but the referee did not blow. After stealing the ball, the Greek team was steady, and the basketball was in an orderly manner under the control of Papalukas, and after a series of cooperation, the basketball was handed over to Fortesis, who ran out of the open space...... Swish!
Described by the American media as 'omnipotent', Fortesis hit a golden-gold 3-pointer.
After this goal, the Chinese team's lead is only 6 points.
At this point, the fourth quarter was less than 4 minutes into the game.
Taking advantage of the gap between stopping the ball, Zhou Zheng replaced Sun Le and asked him to replace the young Chen Qihua...... He still has a lot of skills to polish, at least learning how to slow down.
After the tall point guard Sun Le came on the court, he immediately changed Liu Wei's old problem of 'difficult to pass the half', and he gave Liu Wei a strong echo effect.
However, the problems of the half-time were solved, but the problems of the attack remained.
Because of Yao Shu, the selection method of the national team is more inclined to choose those tall shooters with excellent projection ability and point guards, if these people are around Yao Shu, they can indeed do some great things, but it is even more difficult for them to solve the offense by themselves.
Moreover, there is a tactical lack of this arrangement.
In the end, the basketball was handed over to Wang Zhizhi.
Wang Zhizhi forced a single with the Greek little shark known as Scenetis, under the tough defense of the little shark, the thin Wang Zhizhi looked very 'sad', but in the end he was able to get space with flexible steps, and then threw his shot.
At the moment when he shot, Papaduburos made a strong pounce, although he did not shoot the basketball, but it affected Zhou Zheng's vision, and the basketball finally missed the basket...... Bang!
Fortesis pressed Mock to pick up the rebound.
When the Greek team showed a tenacious defense, it was immediately dense one ring after another, and the Chinese team looked a little breathless under this style of play.
In the past, Yao Shu was still there, but he was able to find a way to breathe through the 'strong eating' of the inner line.
But now, I'm tired!
Zhou Zheng silently took off his coat, he knew that if he didn't go up to stabilize the morale of the army at this time, the confidence that the Chinese team had accumulated so hard would quickly collapse.
When Zhou Zheng stood up and walked to the technical desk...... Swish!
Spanoulis hit the first three-pointer of the game and quickly narrowed the deficit to three-pointers.
He was very satisfied with his three points at this critical moment, and even roared excitedly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to stop the ball, Zhou Zheng walked onto the court to replace Liu Wei.
At the same time, he also made a gesture to Yi Jianlian and asked him to prepare to play.
When the bayonet comes to the eye, there must be someone on the court who can smash the basketball into the hoop.
When Zhou was slowly moving forward with the ball, Spanoulis also pressed forward, just as he did against Liu Wei.
However, Zhou Zheng easily let his 'old trick repeat' return to vain.
When Spanoulis pressed up, instead of slowing down, Zhou Zheng accelerated forward. Spanollis followed closely, and just after halftime, Zhou Zheng suddenly made a sharp stop, and before Spanollis braked the car, he quickly changed direction and then accelerated violently again, leaving his defense behind.
Watching Zhou Zheng pass by and leave Spanollis with great ease, Shougang Stadium resounded with long-lost cheers.
This is the change of rhythm, and Chen Qihua lacks this ability. It's useless to just be fast, you have to be able to add and downshift. Zhou Zheng's actions just now were not complicated at all. Director Zhang said: "I guess Zhou Zheng is deliberately teaching Chen Qihua, I hope he can absorb this essence." ”
At the same time as Zhang Gui broke his thoughts, the light boat had passed over the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Zhou Zheng rushed into the three-point line in the blink of an eye, and Papalukas was already entangled with Zhou Zheng at this time.
Papalukas is a very tall point guard, two meters tall, and is well-rounded and solid defensively.
Therefore, although Zhou Zheng's speed was fast, he still kept up with Zhou Zheng's footsteps with his super large stride.
At the same time, Greece's impregnable defense is rapidly gathering ...... The FIBA's joint defense rules are much simpler and crudeer than the NBA's joint defense rules, and they are not friendly to the breakers.
FIBA rules don't encourage offense as much as the NBA, after all, it's not a commercial league, it's more of a confrontation between national teams, and a single game determines a country's position in a tournament. So, it's more like an iron and blood battle.
Zhou Zheng knows FIBA's defensive habits, however, he doesn't plan to stop his footsteps or pass the ball.
This ball must play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
You can only take it straight, not ask for it.
Therefore, when Zhou Zheng rushed into the paint area, he immediately slammed his waist, and the speed of his footsteps skyrocketed again.
In an instant, Papalukas' defense was out of a foot's length.
He didn't expect Zhou Zheng to be able to accelerate at such a speed.
And what he didn't expect was that Zhou Zheng could not only accelerate.
And also, faster!
Just as he tried to grit his teeth and grasp the defensive footsteps, Zhou Zheng, who suddenly accelerated, had already come to the eyes of the little shark and Papadduburos, these two people gathered left and right, they followed Yannaski's defensive philosophy, and directly used their strength and muscles to clamp the rash breakthrough to death!!
Seeing that Zhou was about to 'hit the wall and die', something strange happened.
The rapid Zhou Zheng did not slow down, but suddenly collected the ball.
Followed by...... Papalukas only felt an afterimage pass through his eyes, and Zhou Zheng actually accelerated again, and flew out like a grasshopper...... He jumped between the little shark and Papadhuroth.
You must know that these two people are constantly shrinking their defense, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller.
But Zhou Zheng actually seized the opportunity, and he actually used his speed to create a time difference and a space gap.
He's just... Straight tore through the defense, like a dagger plunging into a coin's slit with a burst speed, and then stabbed into the heart.
This feeling of being crushed by someone in a 'embattled' situation is not good at all, and even makes them frustrated...... Is this okay too?
However, something that made them feel worse had already happened.
After breaking through the defensive cage like lightning, Zhou Zheng went straight into the depths of the penalty area, shot high, and smashed the basketball into the unguarded basket with one hand.
He's like a swordsman in a flash of a movie.
By the time the picture freezes, the opponent's neck has begun to bleed, and then he falls to the ground.
Baby Shark and Papaduburos didn't fall to the ground as they did in the movie, but their defense was killed with one blow.
After three seconds of dead silence, the Shougang Stadium erupted with earth-shattering energy, and their sound was no less than that of the Rose Garden.
The excitement that Zhou Zheng brought to them was unparalleled.
It was a goal they had never seen in a Chinese player before.
Zhou Zheng opened the door to a new world for them, making them understand that Chinese can also play like this, and they can also cut through the opponent's defense with a single sword, inserting a sharp blade in their heart to stop them from breathing.
"The incomparable Zhou Zheng, I must say, Zhou is an epoch-making Chinese defender. He brought a visual impact, or a gluttonous feast, that Yao Shu couldn't bring to us. ”
The CCTV host is close to a madman, and this goal brings him meaning beyond basketball: "Usually we can only see these exciting dunks in Kobe, in Maddie, in James and other black stars, but Zhou Zheng told us with actual performance that Chinese can do the same." Chinese can also fly!! ”
"Actually, you don't have to be so excited." Director Zhang said with a smile: "This year's All-Star Game Zhou Zheng has proved this with the championship of the slam dunk contest. ”
"However, this is the first time he has worn a national jersey, and this goal will definitely be remembered in the history of Chinese basketball, what a classic dunk it is."
The host is still howling like a chicken.
Director Zhang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Maybe Zhou Zheng will come up with more wonderful dunks in the future?" We have to have confidence in Zhou Zheng! This is just the beginning. ”
"This is his national team debut!"
Zhang's words have been recognized by fans across the country.
Indeed, this is just Zhou Zheng's debut.
However, it has surpassed all its predecessors!
This is unprecedented!
