The Greek team conceded two goals in a row, and their attack was also contained by the American team. The U.S. team pressed up front, and when it came to their own penalty area, they also used joint defense.

Judging from the World Series in recent years, NBA players are not suitable for world basketball. When Americans began to adapt to world basketball and play team basketball, no one could beat them.

The Dream 8 team attaches great importance to defense, and Kobe Bryant and Billups are inseparable when marking players. Spanoulis relied on his teammates to block and break through, and Hayes made another timely change to block Spanollis's way, and Spanollis tried to pass the ball to the high post, but was tackled by Billups.

Just after the opening, Spanoulis had already made two mistakes. Hayes didn't give the former teammate face. Before the game, Coach K had already given an order to deal with Greece and play it as a championship game!

Billups broke the ball and handed it to James, who sped off with the ball, attracting the defense of Diamantildes and Vaslowpoulos. It is impossible for one person to prevent James' breakthrough, and they are ready to give James a "shutdown".

James looked straight ahead, took the ball with one hand and handed it to Kobe Bryant, who was following up on the other side. Bryant rushed into the box from the left side and scored with a one-handed basketball shot! 6 to 0.

Greece counter-attacked, Diamantitis moved the ball inside, and center Giglinia Dakis singled Stoudamel. "Little Overlord" is at a disadvantage in height, but he is physically strong enough to push tall opponents out of the three-second zone. Geliña Dakis turned to the middle and hit a hook shot. 6 to 2.

The Greek players quickly returned to the defense, and the fast attack of the American team was enough to make all opponents fearful.

Billups slowly took the ball across the half, and this time Hayes asked for the ball on the right. Billups still passed Kobe Bryant first, and then ran his own position, and Kobe was responsible for hoisting the ball high to Hayes inside.

In such a star-studded team, Kobe Bryant is also willing to play a supporting role. Let him pass the ball to Hayes and he has nothing to dislike about. Hayes' singles ability was so strong that Bryant put the ball in and stood in place waiting to catch the ball and prepare for the jumper. Although Hayes hasn't moved yet, he feels like it's going to go in.

He's too fast, it's better to keep his distance and prepare the block. Gelinia Dakis thought to herself. With the experience of being broken by Hayes's turn, he didn't dare to stick too tightly this time.

Hayes leaned back with the ball on his back, didn't feel anyone, he immediately took the ball and took a step out, turned and threw a jumper. Without hesitation, it was fast. Gelinia Dakis was a little slower to follow, and he could only watch as Hayes hit a jumper. 8 to 2.

So fast?! How do I have to prevent this? These two goals made Giglinia Dakis feel a little powerless. In his opinion, Hayes is not an interior player at all, but a defender.

Greek head coach Giannakis also frowned, in the 2006 World Championships, the United States team used Carmelo Anthony to play power forward, which made them very uncomfortable to defend, and now Anthony is on the bench, which shows that Hayes's single ability is stronger. If he can't defend himself in the next round, he will have to make a substitution.

The Greek team attacked, and after several passes, small forward Vaslowpoulos made a one-step pull-up jump shot inside the three-point line, although he dodged James's block, but the ball did not go in.

Hayes easily grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and handed it to the Billups organization. The Greek players have returned quickly, so the U.S. team has not countered quickly.

Billups dribbled to the front court and handed Hayes a single. This time Gerenia Dakis was close, but he didn't defend hard, he had to keep his distance from Hayes and follow out to block at any time.

This time, Hayes dribbled the ball outside and then turned to the frame. Before Girenia Dakis could land with his left foot, Hayes had already pulled the ball up with his right hand and turned towards the middle, passing Gurenia Dakis with ease. As Stadamire pulled to the high post, the inside line has been withdrawn. Hayes was unguarded under the basket, jumped on both feet, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand with his left hand! 10 to 2.

Gelinia Dakis has been beaten. This kid is definitely not an inside line, and the inside line doesn't play like this. If he continues to fight like this, he will definitely be blown up and there will be no scum left.

Giannakis also saw this, but did not make changes to the lineup, but shouted at the court: "Change the defense." Antonis (Fortesis) goes to defend Hayes. ”

Before the fight, Fortesis had volunteered to fight Hayes, and Yannakis is now ready to fulfill Fortesis' wishes. Although he is a little inferior in strength, he has the advantage of height and reach, and has enough defensive experience, so there should be a way.

Yannakis didn't notice, but when he heard his shout, one of Fortesis's handsome faces changed in embarrassment.

The Greek offense still passed the ball frequently on the periphery, and never found a chance to break through or shoot, this time Gilignada Kis pulled to the outside to block and dismantle, Stoudeyer followed, Vaslopoulos shook off James, and then passed Stodameyer, breaking through to the inside. He felt that he had run out of defense, and burst to the basket for a layup.

But Vaslowpoulos was wrong, if it was an ordinary inside, he could indeed go straight to the basket. But it was Stadameyer who defended him from behind, and the ball became a hat-seeker. Stadameyer leaped high from behind, slammed the ball on the rebound, and almost bounced out of the box. James received the basketball and turned to find that Hayes had already run past half the court, and Greece's No. 13 was struggling to chase him.

Poor fellow, you've got a lot. James handed the ball to Hayes with a long pass, and looked at the thin figure of No. 13 and smiled in his heart.

The number 13 in Greece is Diamantidis. He is 196cm tall and weighs 96 kg, and he plays as a playmaker. He is currently one of the most powerful players in the Greek league and even the entire European league, and was elected MVP of the Greek League four times in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008, was elected MVP of the Greek League playoffs twice in 2006 and 2007, and was also the assist king of the Greek League in 2007, even in the European League, he is also one of the best players, and was elected the best defender of the European Basketball Super League four times in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. In 2007, he was selected as the best team in European basketball, MVP of the 2007 UEFA Super League semifinals, and 2007 European Basketball of the Year.

No matter how much glory he gets, even if his height and ability to fight are very dominant among defenders, his opponent is Hayes, the man who can fight O'Neill.

"I'll give you a lung!" Hayes pouted his ass as soon as he got to the three-point line, and the bulldozer-style dribble arched to the basket. In the first two strokes, Diamantildis resisted bravely. But after the third and fourth strokes, poor Mr. European basketball felt a little out of the way, and he was really pushed by the opponent. He unconsciously took half a step back, and Hayes immediately turned and went to the basket, holding the ball with both hands, bending his legs, and looking ready to dunk.

"Don't think about it!" Fortesis chased after him from behind, jumping up to block it. What he didn't expect was that Hayes jumped backwards, collided with him, scored with both hands, and put the basket in the basket with a low hand.

Fortesis was knocked off balance by Hayes and sat on the ground, but Hayes landed firmly on one foot. The referee's whistle blew, and Hayes' shooting posture was not pretty, but not only did it score, but it also caused a foul on Fortesis.

Hayes turned back to Fortesis and smiled, "It's so slow, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Greek is the Chinese language of the Greeks, but Fortesis also learned English, and he learned it very well, and can converse fluently with foreigners. But he could understand what Hayes was saying, but he was not happy at all, and he was slighted at the beginning...... Hayesga makes a free throw. 13 to 2.

Giannakis' brow furrowed even tighter, Greece lost by 11 points in the opening game, and he couldn't ask for a timeout. I want the players to adjust themselves a little more.

Fortesis also asked for the ball on the inside, ready to single Hayes one. Naturally, his physique could not squeeze Hayes out of the line, and he was ready to use his skills to decide the loser. How do you know that as soon as you turn around and face the frame, before you put down the ball, you were slapped down by Hayes with a palm.

Fortesis couldn't fight back on the spot, Hayes held the ball in his arms with both hands, squatted, and a horse step stuck to the ground. Not to mention grabbing the ball, even if you come up and push Hayes with your hands now, you may not be able to push it. As soon as the Greek players saw his posture, they gave up pressing and hurried back to defense.

It's too strong, this Hayes is too powerful, strong both offensively and defensively! Who on our team can limit him? Yanakis thought to himself, his palms sweating. If Hayes could not be prevented, Greece would have suffered a crushing defeat today.

Just as he was struggling with how to defend, Hayes picked up the ball again, this time moving to the left and arching his back to the inside of the catch, and the Greek player Fortesis and Diamantidis packed Hayes together.

With a flick of both hands, Hayes handed the ball to Stadamyer, who was high in the post. The Stoadamyre spot was completely empty, and he even had time to wave hello to the fans in the stand. "How are you, Chinese friends?" Then the jump shot and the ball hit steadily! 15 to 2.

Giannakis hastened to ask for a timeout. Greece's offense couldn't get in, and there were problems with the defense. The U.S. fast attack was sharp, and Hayes succeeded in several 45-degree attacks, making Greece's joint defense a decoration.

"Andres, Kostas (Katesaris), you play. Main defense Hayes. Be sure to guard against his inside offense. If you can't defend one-on-one, the weak-side players are ready to wrap the ......" Giannakis said helplessly: "When attacking, the interior players pull out to cover, shoot in the high position, leave Costas to grab rebounds in the front court, and immediately return to the defense after shooting, don't let them play fast break." ”

Kostas Chatsaris is 208 cm tall and weighs 113 kilograms, and currently plays in the Greek league. He was very physical and rebounding, and was part of the 2006-2007 Europa League winners.

The U.S. team did not make any changes to the lineup. Coach K emphasized the need to resolutely attack with Hayes as the core.

The core of the Dream 7 team is James, James is a well-rounded player, and the old K coach will not deliberately fix which position James plays. James' role is not just to score, although he appears at the small forward position, he also takes on the task of handling the ball and organizing the offense.

But James didn't dominate on the inside. In 2006, the U.S. team lost on this point. Howard could grab a lot of rebounds, but he didn't dominate, and in order to strengthen the team's offense, Coach K Sr. had Howard sit on the bench for most of the second half.

Now, the old K thinks Hayes is the one who can dominate the inside line, and although he is only 198cm, he is stronger than James! As long as the ball is passed to Hayes, the American team cannot fail!

After the timeout, Greece's Chatsaris pulled up high to cover for his team-mate. Fortesis also pulled out, and they were ready to play outside.

After the pick-and-roll, Spanoulis handed the ball back into the hands of Chatsaris, who came off the bench as a center with great shooting skills and a long-range shot from beyond the three-point line. After the switch, the defender of him became Billups, and Chatsaris received the ball and hit a jumper. 15 to 4.

However, the good times did not last long, the United States attacked, and Hayes received the ball again. Chatsaris stepped up and used his body to resist Hayes. Hayes took two steps with the ball, turned to the middle and stepped back. As soon as Chatsaris stepped forward to block the ball, Hayes jumped back lightly and threw the ball high with one hand. Basketball head-on cricket scored. 17 to 4.

Hayes's trick backwards throw appeared, and the Greek players who saw the ball froze.

On the way back, Kobe Bryant smiled: "Chuck, you get off the court, we don't have a chance to shoot." I feel like the Olympics are not for you right now, the level of the opponents is too low! ”
