Chapter 354 [The First Battle is Amazing]
After the singer's performance, the host announced that the competition was about to begin.
Zhou Xuan's team was scheduled for the opening match, and the organizer Zhilu said that he was very excited to come, and of course, he should use his appeal as much as possible to make the European Street Ball Tournament more attention-grabbing.
The fans got out of the way, and Zhou Xuan was the last to play. He waved around, and many female fans screamed, he didn't expect to be so popular in Europe. Quite a few people set up cameras on the sidelines and prepared to shoot.
According to incomplete statistics, there are about 20 million to 30 million overseas Chinese, and Chinese can be seen everywhere in London. There were many Chinese fans on the sidelines, waving slogans in Chinese and shouting Zhou Xuan's name in Chinese. Zhou Xuan waved to the fellow villagers. The most amazing thing is that there is a person wearing a panda mascot suit among the fans who is jumping around, and it is not too hot.
DeAndrew? Jordan and Maya? Moore didn't play off the court, and the three starters were Zhou Xuan, Green and Weaver. Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, and those two were in charge of the performance. Weaver competed with James in the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest back then, but only lost slightly, and many people felt that his flowing dunk was even better than James's violent faction.
DAMOVE WAS RELIEVED TO SEE THAT LITTLE JORDAN WAS NOT ON IT. But I don't know that just because Jordan Jr.'s dunk belongs to the violent faction, he is not as beautiful as those two.
Zhou Xuan, as the captain, shook hands with Lorenzo and said with a smile: "Hello, please advise." β
"It's a pleasure to play against you."
Zhou Xuan thought to himself for a while, and then he didn't know if you would still feel happy. Since he fought the "Bone Collector", he will have more and more feints, and he hasn't had a chance to test it yet, so he will definitely not be polite today.
Who attacked first was decided by a coin toss, and the ball was given to the Italians. The ball is sent out from the middle circle and the game begins.
Lorenzo was excited, and immediately challenged Zhou Xuan, and as soon as he came up, he used a unique skill, changing direction after continuously stepping down and dribbling, and then striding and turning.
As a well-known street golfer, Lorenzo has a very good sense of the ball and is very explosive. He feels that the reason why the NBA is difficult to get into is because of tactical literacy, not because of the high requirements for personal ability, even if he is asked to pick NBA guards, he can win many people.
But Zhou Xuan by no means belongs to the category that Lorenzo can pick, he couldn't shake the dribble under his crotch, turned around and was stuck by Zhou Xuan's leg, didn't turn around, and he had already taken the ball and got up, so he could only pass the ball. He guards the ball with his back and looks for Mastro? Matteo.
Lorenzo only saw his teammates get rid of Weaver, but he didn't pay attention to the light behind his back, Zhou Xuan had already let him go. As soon as he passed, Zhou Xuan reached out from the side and broke the ball, bringing out the three-point line, and the ball changed hands.
In the first ball, Zhou Xuan showed his defensive skills, he turned to face Lorenzo, leaned with the ball, stretched out his right hand to hold the ball, and pretended to pass the ball. When the hand reaches directly above Larry's head, the right hand hooks the ball to the right.
Zhou Xuan played such a hand as soon as he came up, without unnecessary feints, and Lorenzo immediately thought that the inside player had a good position and passed the ball. As soon as he turned his head, he found that Green didn't catch the ball and stood under the basket.
The ball has returned to Zhou Xuan's hands, which is the "Hot Sauce" stunt boomerang. Lorenzo turned around again, and Zhou Xuan had already rushed past him, entered the basket, attracted the defense, and threw the ball to the rebound.
This looks like a high-hitting layup, but it was thrown very off-right, and after dodging the block, it didn't touch the basket, and hit the board directly to the other side of the basket, fake the real pass!
Who is Green? An empty dunk can also blow out the perversion of the cake candle on the basket frame! The ball was directed at him, and he immediately took off, caught the ball with both hands and pressed the ball into the hoop! Without touching the frame, the ball quickly smashed into the air balloon on the ground. When landing like this, the dunk's feet have to resist a lot of recoil, but Green dares to take off his shoes and play with his crotch to change hands, which is also pediatric for him.
This goal ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the fans shouted wildly. Zhou Xuan's breakthrough and wonderful pass are standard streetball styles.
DAMOVE CAN'T BE OVERPOWERED BY A SINGLE GOAL. Lorenzo dribbled the ball on the right side and singled Zhou Xuan, dribbling under his crotch to attract the defense, but Zhou Xuan didn't move, just lowered his center of gravity, and didn't keep up until he really made a breakthrough, blocking the breakthrough route, dribbling behind his back, and the killer CROSSOVER was all done, and Zhou Xuan was always in front of him.
No way! The defense is so strong! Lorenzo shouted in his heart, he has been playing street ball for more than ten years, he has never seen such a person, no matter how he shakes his head and moves with the ball, he can't shake it. Of course, it is a bit embarrassing to be passed by, and you can save some face with a goal, but it is too scary to be helpless by the defense, and he passed it to his teammate Fabio.
Fabio's specialty is dunking and dribbling. Maybe he could have been able to pass Green before, but in Los Angeles, Green was played by Zhou Xuan all day long, he had seen all the feints, and his defensive ability had improved slightly, and he himself had the quality of becoming a super defender, and the opponent who was entangled couldn't break through.
After a few passes, Lorenzo relied on the cover to get rid of Zhou Xuan's jump shot and missed, and Green rushed inside to grab the rebound.
Zhou Xuan received the ball on the periphery to attack, Lorenzo lowered his center of gravity, I don't know what action he would use to break through this time, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball to the right with his crotch, and Lorenzo followed and retreated a small step. With this small step, Zhou Xuan's outside line is a three-point point, and he already has a height advantage, and the opponent can't block it. Ball in! 5 to 0.
If it's just this kind of low level, it's too easy to win, and it doesn't make much sense to come to Europe, Zhou Xuan thought to himself.
If he knew what he thought, Lorenzo would definitely be depressed and want to disband the team.
In the third round, Lorenzo still didn't rely on cover to single Zhou Xuan, he wanted to prove that he had his own dignity. Many street ball players can't play professional basketball, a big reason is their character, they value individual performance rather than teamwork, and his teammates don't think there's anything wrong with it, and they want to try it with Zhou Xuan for a while.
But this is undoubtedly a bad choice, no matter how feints he does, no matter how fancy, Zhou Xuan is staring at his hips, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, and the shot will interfere. Lorenzo dribbled beautifully, but it was all useless. After he forcibly broke through and couldn't throw, he decided that Zhou Xuan's defense was more terrible than his offense.
This idea rose in less than 5 seconds, Zhou Xuan used "worship Buddha" on the right side, dribbled infinitely close to shooting after the crotch, and then successfully broke through with a change of direction in his right hand, pulled the ball up in the move, and strode to the basket.
Fabio saw Zhou Xuan's breakthrough successfully, stood at the free throw line, Weaver cut in the middle, and catching the ball with one hand was an empty catch! In the NBA, this ball must be another top five. 7 to 0.
On the offensive again, Lorenzo played a pass to his teammate. Zhou Xuan and the others used compression defense to form a small triangle. He didn't know what to do with the opponent's three three-pointers, but he successfully defended another attack.
Zhou Xuan was even more sassy, and used the "Bone Terminator" "herewego! βγ
Dribble the ball under your hips continuously, spread your legs apart, and slowly move forward. Lorenzo didn't dare to step forward to grab the ball, nor did he dare to retreat too much, Zhou Xuan suddenly pulled the ball and got up to make a "worship Buddha", broke through on the left side, Lorenzo kept up with this step with all his might, Zhou Xuan then dribbled behind his back and handed over the ball to his right hand to pull the ball, changed to jump backwards to the basket, and scored the basketball with a backhand in the air! 9 to 0.
The crowd cheered, Colo? Moretz didn't see Zhou Xuan training, and his impression of him was still stuck in the NBA game, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.
Mitchell was also shouting in his heart: "God, the progress is so fast, this guy can be so much better in a year than when we met!" Misplaced after blocking and dismantling next season, which inside line can prevent him without wrapping up? β
Lorenzo couldn't afford to single out Zhou Xuan anymore, so he relied on cover to get rid of it. Green blocked his first step, and Zhou Xuan followed Fabio.
Lorenzo passed the ball to his teammates, believing that Fabio had the physical fitness and height advantage, allowing him to deal with Zhou Xuan. BUT ZHOU XUAN EVEN DARED TO DEFEND THE TWO-METER KOBE, HOW COULD HE PUT A 195CM ITALAN IN HIS EYES? What's more, Fabio is still very thin.
Zhou Xuan changed his guard to keep up, and began to block the breakthrough with his legs again. Fabio wanted to dunk, but he couldn't speed up at all, and he could only pass the ball at the end.
Marstro still didn't score the jump shot, Zhou Xuan got the rebound under the basket, and passed it to Weaver outside the three-point line, but he didn't go out and reached out to ask for the ball.
Weaver understood and hoisted the ball in. This is what he is practicing in Los Angeles, Zhou Xuan analyzed that the reason why the Rockets are only willing to give him a base salary is that he does not pass this kind of ball inside position, but only waits for someone to pull out to cover, and does not cross the middle after blocking and dismantling, which is an act of sabotaging tactics.
Zhou Xuan took the ball on the right side of the low post to Lorenzo, leaned on the dribble and took a step, with his right foot as the axis, and took a step towards the middle with his left foot, took the ball and turned half-turned, and immediately turned around and jumped up to the bottom line after attracting the opponent's center of gravity, and hit the board with his right hand to shoot the basketball. This is a standard back-to-back hit. 11 to 0.
Is this the strength of an NBA All-Star? It's so terrifying, his offense and defense are so strong, I actually thought I could explode with him, it's too naΓ―ve. Lorenzo's confidence has already suffered. When watching the game, he felt that Zhou Xuan could only score 10-15 points in the NBA, and he was not a super scorer. But he now suspects that if Zhou Xuan and him keep going head-to-head, it will be a piece of cake to get 50 points, and it will prevent him from wanting to commit suicide.
The other members of DAMOVE also felt the same way, Zhou Xuan could not be passed, so he could only avoid him. Fabio even felt that 20 minutes was too long, and it would have been nice to have ended it sooner.
They finally scored in the next round, and Mastro hit a not-so-beautiful step-back jumper, but for a street ball game, that kind of attack doesn't get applause.
Zhou Xuan took the ball and organized it and began to perform again. With your arms outstretched, you can dribble widely, and you're dancing on the periphery. Lorenzo was shaken back slightly, and Zhou Xuan made a 60-degree jumper on the right side, shooting fast, the action was standard, and the hollow entered the net. 13 to 2.
Zhou Xuan finally has his own trick, that is, when he performs "worship Buddha", he switches between breaking through and jumping, and it is difficult to defend the opponent after practicing it.
