Chapter 691: World Star United
With the exception of Thaddeus Lang, the strength players of this World Stars United can be described as lackluster. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Star League consists of a total of 14 players, 12 of whom are active or retired professional basketball players.
Only two of them are amateur basketball players.
And these two are also the only two ******** in the World Star Team.
One of them is Uncle Lin, who looks the weakest.
The other is retired former volleyball player Zhao Xilong.
Zhao Xilong, 33 years old this year, is participating in the Lunar New Year Cup basketball tournament for the second consecutive year.
Zhao Xilong, who is 1.95 meters tall and extremely athletic and looks like a model, has outstanding athletic ability, and his appearance is also very handsome, which belongs to the public in the sports world. Type of person.
After retiring from the volleyball scene three years ago, Zhao Xilong signed a contract with a brokerage company and entered the entertainment industry, focusing on variety shows and acting.
For the special identity of being an athlete, his performance in the circle has always been very active, and many programs that require artists to have sports cells will ask Zhao Xilong to help.
Zhao Xilong's performance in the Lunar New Year Cup last year was impressive, although he was not a professional basketball player, but his ability to bounce in volleyball was amazing, and he was easy to dunk on the basketball court.
Although Zhao Xilong's height of 1.95 meters is not outstanding compared with the Chinese men's basketball players who are as tall as a forest, he can always complete some surprising dunk actions on the court with his strong bounce and basketball skills from Ye Luzi, and he is a typical show star.
This time, the organizing committee invited Zhao Xilong to participate in the Lunar New Year Cup for the second time, mainly to make Lin Zaishan's participation less abrupt, and also to take a fancy to Zhao Xilong's performance ability.
As for Zhao Xilong's basketball strength, he is definitely the weakest one in the world star team except for Lin Zaishan. He and Lin Zaishan went to show off, not to actually compete.
The players of the other star teams have the ability to really play games.
However, since they are participating in exhibition matches, these people will definitely not do their best, and most of them are here to travel and go through the motions.
In addition to Thaddeus Lang, there are three American athletes on this star team, the most famous of which is former NBA beast power forward David Sampson, who has retired for several years.
Sampson is a lot like the other "Rain Man" Kemp, known for his violent dunks on the court.
After retiring, Sampson's violent body was destroyed by an irregular life, and his current figure is like a tall bucket, and the violent muscle lines are no longer visible.
Now let him dunk violently, let him dunk normally, he only has the strength to dunk reluctantly, and he has long been incapable of playing professional basketball games, but in the exhibition game where the confrontation is not fierce, relying on rich experience, Sampson still has some strength.
The other two basketball players from the United States, one is the backup point guard of the NBA Development League Chargers, known as the "White Miracle", Richardson.
This is a depressed Mesozoic player.
When he first debuted in the NBA eight years ago, Richardson's flashy style of play caught the eyes of all fans, and five years ago, he was still playing as the main point guard for the Cavaliers, and then suffered a major injury that caused his athleticism to plummet.
Originally, the confrontation ability of white players suffered more in the NBA, and after the athletic ability such as speed and agility declined sharply, Richardson gradually lost his foothold in the NBA, and was reduced from the main force to the bench, and then to the fringe player, and finally was sent by the team and could only play in the subordinate league.
Although his ability is not as good as back then, Richardson can still be the main point guard of the star team when he plays this kind of exhibition game with no confrontation.
Another American player is a 16-year-old high school player named Williams.
This black and white high school student is known as the strongest high school student in the United States last year, and many professional media in the United States predict that Williams will play in the NBA in the future.
Although this kid is not a pure black player, he has a very strong body explosiveness, a bit of another poor version of the little emperor, but his figure is incomparable with the little emperor, even with the little emperor in high school, he is too thin and skinny, and he is completely a little kid on the court.
Although he has outstanding skills and unlimited potential, compared with the adult players of the Chinese men's basketball team, Williams's strength is still too far behind, and the actual combat power of the other three American players is much worse. He came to join the World Stars United purely to travel and earn gimmicks.
There are also two Asian players in this World Stars team, both of whom are young, one is the leading point guard of the Japanese national youth team, Daishi Uchimura, who is known as the hope of Japan's future basketball.
This 20-year-old Japanese young man has a lot of basketball talent, a good overall situation on the court, a lot of speed, and good projection ability. It's a pity that his figure is a hard injury, he is only 1.71 meters tall, I don't know if he can go up in the future, but with his current height, it is too difficult to break through on the basketball court ruled by elders. He is also the shortest player in this class of Star League.
Another Asian player, the "Little Giant" Apple, from India, is the tallest player in this year's Star Team.
Applee is only 18 years old this year, but he has already reached a height of 2.31 meters! Taller than Yao Ming on the other side!
Not only is he tall, but Apur is also very strong, and at first glance he looks like O'Neill, with a dark complexion and a burly body.
But if you look closely, you will find that this child is actually a gigantism patient, although his figure is very burly, his athletic ability is really poor.
He can make a name for himself in India, where the basketball level is very low, but when it comes to the world, he has almost no place to stand, and this time he came to China to compete, mainly to be the background emperor.
There is also a young player of New Zealand nationality in the team, who is also a big center, two meters tall and 14 meters tall, 21 years old, named Kyes, who is the hope of New Zealand basketball, with good basketball talent and good athleticism, but unfortunately his weight is too small, his body is too thin, and at present, his strength is not very strong.
The other five players in the Star United team are small forward Patrice Evra and two-way defender Djokaf from the French youth team;
promising striker Muller from Germany's youth team;
Retired star Caparo from Brazil - in particular, this Caparo has won the three-point contest in the NBA, although he has been retired for many years, his shooting ability is still very strong;
The last one is Wayne Cole, a show player from the British freestyle basketball team who specializes in dunk performances.
In terms of individual combat ability, only Thaddeus Lang is better than the Chinese men's basketball team in this star team, and although others have famous players like "White Miracle" Richardson, their combat power cannot be compared with the Chinese men's basketball team.
Basketball is a sport that relies on the whole, and the players of these star teams have never played together before, and the style of play is also varied, and it may be a bit insulting to use "rabble" to describe the strength of this team, but they are indeed too far behind the level of the Chinese men's basketball team.
And they all came to Guangcheng in the past two days, and they had to play an exhibition game with the Chinese men's basketball team after a day of training, so you can imagine how poor their immediate combat ability is.
It can also be seen from this that if he wants to lead such a group of rabble to blow up the Chinese men's basketball team, Thaddeus Lang is such an arrogant young man.
Provoked by Thaddeus Lang, the boys of the Chinese men's basketball team are holding their breath, they have to play this "exhibition game" well, they must win at least 60 points against the World Star United tonight to be comfortable, and winning one less point is not a win!
After Lin Zaishan made the opening performance, the lights on the scene were back on, the staff cleaned the court as fast as possible, and all the players of the two teams who were about to play came to the sidelines and took off their coats to warm up.
When the fans saw that the players of the Chinese men's basketball team had changed their costumes and entered the court, they immediately responded with warm applause and cheers.
On the other side, the players of the star team also entered the court to warm up, and Thaddeus Long enjoyed this lively big scene, and after doing a few simple warm-up activities, he got the ball, and he rushed to the basket and came up with a tomahawk dunk! It can be described as amazing! Physical talent on display at a glance!
After that, he raised his hands to the audience, asking for applause and cheers, and his attitude seemed to be very flamboyant.
Basketball fans actually like this kind of personality player who is very flamboyant on the court, especially if this player has strong strength, which is even more popular with fans.
In China, many people are fans of the "New York singles king", and seeing that Thaddeus Lang's interest was so high tonight, the fans immediately got high and shouted Thaddeus's name.
Receiving such a cheer from the audience in the ancient country of the East, Thaddeus's interest was even higher, where Richardson touched the basket with a practice shot, and Thaddeus jumped up when he saw the situation and made a domineering dunk!
"Boom!"
The enthusiasm of the fans exploded!
"Thaddeus! - Thaddeus! - Thaddeus! - Thaddeus! ……”
The name of Thaddeus rang out all over the room.
Thaddeus shook his head proudly, quite like a "primary school student" from another world.
The players of the Chinese men's basketball team are not happy to watch it here.
Thaddeus actually spread wild on the territory of the Chinese team, which is worth it!
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
Several members of the men's basketball team had evil fire in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to start the game right away and give the kid who was full of big talk a little color.
After Lin Zaishan's performance ended, he was interviewed by the National Sports Channel, and he did not immediately change his clothes to warm up.
In the interview, Lin Zaishan expressed his excitement to participate in the Lunar New Year Cup basketball tournament and offered New Year blessings to the national audience.
After the five-minute interview, Lin Zaishan went to the locker room to change into sportswear and re-appear.
Lin Jae-shan, who changed into the dark blue Stars jersey, won a round of applause from the audience as soon as he appeared.
The big screen at the scene deliberately gave Lin Zaishan a close-up of the warm-up activities.
Compared with other basketball players, Lin Zaishan is significantly smaller and very thin and vigorous. The delicate muscles on his arms are particularly eye-catching to the fans.
These fans and the audience in front of the TV have almost never seen the image of Lin Zaishan showing his arms, this time Lin Zaishan wore a basketball vest and showed off all his muscle lines, not looking at his white hair and some vicissitudes of appearance, just looking at the body, this is completely a refined man!
Fans saw that Lin Zaishan was so tough and vigorous, and they were all looking forward to Lin Zaishan's game tonight!
The 10-minute warm-up was quickly over.
The coaches of both sides beckoned their players back to the sidelines and began to deploy their line-ups and tactics.
The coach who coached this Star United is Hanks, a veteran coach who has coaching experience in the NBA.
The well-informed Hanks is only familiar with a few American players under him, and he is not familiar with other foreign players, but after watching the performance of the players after training in the past two days, he also has a good understanding of the strength of these players.
With the tactics board in hand, he laid out the starting lineup and simple tactics for the Star United.
The starting five of the star team are point guard "White Miracle" Richardson, the "singles king" Saidus, the small forward is China's former volleyball player Zhao Xilong, and the big forward is Germany's Muller.
In the center forward position, Hanks did not arrange two regular center forwards in the team, but brought on the fat David Sampson.
The opening lineup of the Chinese team continued to be the first in the Olympic Games, and the point guard was the chief point guard in China - Guo Xiaolun, who is 1.93 meters tall; The quantile is Asia's strongest scorer Lee Tae-long, known as "Asian Ron"; The small forward is Zhuge Chuan, who is two meters and eight meters tall; The big forward is Ma Xu, who is two meters 12; The center forward position is the current No. 1 star of the Chinese team, known as the "Bull Demon King" and Asia's No. 1 center Niu Qi.
After the lineup is set up, the starting players from both sides enter the field.
The players of the star team took the initiative to shake hands with the players of the Chinese men's basketball team, but Thaddeus, the thorn, did not say anything, and the players of the Chinese men's basketball team naturally did not take the initiative to shake hands with Thaddeus.
Because of Thaddeus, the two sides had a bit of a competitive feeling before the opening, although it was not to the point of saber rattling, but everyone sitting on the sidelines could feel that there would be a big battle between the Chinese men's basketball team and Thaddeus.
7:35 p.m.
The referee throws the ball!
The competition is officially on!
At the top of Sampson's head, which has little athletic ability, Niu Qi fought for the ball, and the Chinese men's basketball team quickly turned into an offensive state.
Guo Xiaolun controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, his eyes were full of vacancy in the enemy's position, and only Thaddeus was defending Li Tailong closely.
Guo Xiaolun can easily break through the inside line of the star team to score a layup at this time, or he can give the ball to Niu Qi or Zhuge Chuan and others, so that they can score easily on the inside.
But Guo Xiaolun didn't make these easiest choices, but passed the ball to Zhao Tailong, and gave Zhao Tailong a look with his chin and asked Zhao Tailong to go to singles Saidaditus! Isn't that kid known as the singles king of New York? Let's try the power of "Asian Ron"! (To be continued.) )
