Chapter 441
Cousins is 2.11 meters and Hao Peng is 2.16 meters, there is a slight gap between the two in terms of height, and looking at the body type, Hao Peng has strong and strong muscles, and Cousins is like a fat man in comparison.
The difference in muscle ratio makes even if Hao Peng's weight is nearly 10 kilograms lighter than Cousins, he still won't suffer in the confrontation, and in terms of speed and explosiveness, Hao Peng can be described as crushing Cousins.
The two jumped the ball in the middle of the field, as the referee threw the basketball high into the air, Hao Peng's feet jumped up as if he pressed the spring, and easily dialed the basketball to his side, when he touched the ball, Cousins's fingertips only reached Hao Peng's forearm position, and the gap between the two bounces and the explosion was clear at a glance!
Jeremy Lin immediately dribbled across half court after receiving the ball, and then stayed at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, observing the position of his teammates.
In front of him is the starting point guard of the U.S. men's basketball team, Kyrie. Irving, the two are on the same Eastern Conference team, and they are very familiar with each other.
Because of this, when facing Jeremy Lin, Irving's face was full of solemnity, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Both are both NBA champions, but over the years, whenever the Nets play against the Cavaliers, Irving has to be educated by Jeremy Lin.
There was no way, Owen's technical characteristics happened to be restrained by Jeremy Lin.
Height and weight are Jeremy Lin has the upper hand, and in terms of strength, Jeremy Lin is even more comprehensive than Irving, although Irving is faster than Jeremy Lin in terms of speed, but the speed is very limited, in the face of this perennial best defensive team player, Irving's offensive efficiency is greatly reduced, and he can't prevent Jeremy Lin's offense at all on the defensive end.
Although the record of the Nets and Cavaliers is that the Cavaliers have won more, it is because the Cavaliers have a luxurious roster of the Big Four, Irving is not good, and James, Love, and Howard.
To put it mildly, in the entire league, Irving's most reluctant opponent is Jeremy Lin, even Paul, who is also known for his defense, will not put so much pressure on him, after all, Paul does not have an advantage in height, and his strength is far worse than Jeremy Lin......
Facing Owen, Jeremy Lin did not choose to attack by himself, but waited until Hao Peng stood in a position on the inside line, and then directly hoisted the ball to Hao Peng.
After receiving the pass in the low post, Hao Peng leaned back against Cousins and chose to play alone without hesitation.
In the tactics formulated by Wang Xiao, Hao Peng and Jeremy Lin have absolute possession of the ball, especially Hao Peng, who has David. Robinson's growth template card is the strongest offensive ability in the Chinese men's basketball team!
The two sides made physical contact, and Cousins was shocked in his heart!
"What a strong force!"
Although he has a weight advantage of about 10 kilograms, he still has a feeling that it is difficult to resist the other party.
While secretly surprised, Cousins had to use all his strength to resist Hao Peng, preventing the other party from squeezing into the inside line with his back.
However, at this time, Hao Peng suddenly turned around, and instantly passed Cousins to the basket.
With all his strength and center of gravity pressed up, Cousins, who suddenly lost his goal, stumbled on his feet, and by the time he turned around to get back to the defense, it was too late.
Hao Peng held the ball in one hand and slammed the basketball into the basket.
"Boom ——!"
"Well done!"
"Good shot!! 1”
The players on the bench of the Chinese men's basketball team couldn't help but jump up and congratulate Hao Peng loudly.
Cousins' face darkened slightly.
Although he is not known for his defense, and his playing style is obviously strong in attack and weak in defense, he still feels a little uncomfortable about letting the opponent score so easily.
……
The U.S. team attacked, Cousins entered the inside line and stood in a good position, and immediately reached out for the ball.
As a player on last season's All-Star team, Cousins is not going to suffer and remain silent.
The ball didn't stay in Irving's hands for long, and in line with his habit with the Cavaliers, dribbling past half court and finding himself with little chance against Jeremy Lin, Irving subconsciously passed the ball to James.
James didn't stay long after receiving the ball, and took advantage of the situation to hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Cousins.
After receiving the ball, Cousins turned his back to Hao Peng and tried to dribble and squeeze two steps inside, but the opponent was very stable and simply did not move.
Cousins is not fast, and it is extremely unrealistic to turn around and cut into the basket in front of Hao Peng.
After thinking for a while, Cousins suddenly lowered his body, pushed Hao Peng hard, and then rolled over and leaned back, using a Novisky's signature golden rooster independence.
Cousins is considered a heavy center in the NBA, and there are few times when he can't stand on the inside, but after all, the NBA is full of talent, and there will still be a few exceptions.
Whenever this happens, Cousins will use this trick, although his shooting touch is not as good as Nowitzki, but he is already very soft and stable in the interior, and the independent shooting percentage of this trick is not bad.
However, the tricks that have been tried and tested in the past are not very effective today.
"Smack!"
At the moment of the basketball shot, one palm slapped on the basketball with great precision, directly flying the basketball fan.
It's Hao Peng!
Cousins' hard push didn't stop him even the slightest, and before Cousins turned to shoot, he jumped up in advance and slapped the basketball directly away!
Speed, bursts, and bounces are all weapons that Hao Peng relies on to survive on the offensive end, and they are also necessary on the defensive end.
The basketball was fanned directly out of the three-point line, but was intercepted by Wang Meng when he was about to go out of bounds, he did not take advantage of the American men's basketball players to fall on the fast break, but protected the ball as soon as possible, and then handed the ball to Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin, who controlled the ball, dribbled to the front court without hurry and began to organize the attack.
Slowing down the pace of the game and playing positional warfare is a policy that Wang Xiao has set a long time ago, after all, in terms of speed, no team can beat the American men's basketball team, even the current Chinese men's basketball team.
Soon, the basketball was passed to Hao Peng, who squeezed into the inside.
In the face of Cousins' close defense, Hao Peng dribbled the basketball several times in a row, squeezed into the basket, and then sent the basketball into the basket with a hook before Durant came to the package.
4:0!
The Chinese men's basketball team caught the American men's basketball team off guard at the beginning, and the players all had smiles on their faces.
Sure enough, it's the same as the coach said! They really have the strength to compete with the U.S. men's basketball team!
On the side of the American men's basketball team, they are all dignified.
Although Hao Peng's reputation has long been known in the United States, this is the first time that the players present have seen Hao Peng's strength on the field.
Although it was only less than 1 minute, only two offenses and one defense, what Hao Peng showed has already made all NBA players vigilant.
"Sure enough, this guy's reputation in the NCAA is not blown out! It's so strong! ”
