Chapter 325: Unexpected
Papalucas's appearance caught the Chinese men's basketball team off guard, before he sat under the court not just to rest, but has been studying the strengths and weaknesses of the Chinese team, and put what he knows into practice after coming on the court:
Although he has strong interior teammates such as Little Shark, he does not focus on the interior line, but frequently sends the ball to the hands of his outside teammates. After passing, he asked his teammates not to attack the hoop, but to reverse the ball, and yes, to pass the ball constantly, and hit the Chinese team with skillful coordination.
Papalukas is worthy of being the No. 1 point guard in Europe, and he discovered the real blind spot of the Chinese team: many opponents thought that the Chinese team was terrible on the outside, so they attacked them from the outside as a breakthrough point, but except for the American team, everyone else who did so died tragically at the hands of the Chinese team. In fact, what is really inferior to these European teams is their cooperation, they have too little time to practice together, and their cooperation is too tacit!
Papalucas's purpose is to keep reversing the ball to find flaws, Chamberlain has a characteristic, that is, once his teammates leak, vacant positions, etc., he will quickly go up to make up for the defense, so that the ball is constantly transmitted in the hands of several people, he ran here and there, demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall, and repeatedly ran like this, even the iron man couldn't stand it.
That's what Papalukas is really trying to do: don't you have the strongest inside line? Well, I'll see if you'll be so tough after you're tired on the inside.
Chamberlain's sense of responsibility led him to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award as a rookie, and in the NBA, he was feared by all opponents: this guy was too aggressive defensively. But as the saying goes, water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and this characteristic of him has hurt him in the international arena, because his two groups of teammates are different in the two arenas.
To use an analogy, if the two sides of the game are the flood and the dike, the Greek or NBA teams are the raging floods, the Chinese or the Warriors are the dikes, and Chamberlain is the water control artifact – a soil that grows on its own and never depletes.
Theoretically, as long as the flood breaks through the gap in the levee, then Chamberlain can stop the flood by plugging it into the gap. But in the NBA, even if the opponent is in a torrent, the levee formed by his teammates is very strong, and at most a few cracks and cracks have been washed out, and Chamberlain can easily plug it up and stop the flood.
But in the Olympic Games, the Chinese team's outside line is too weak, except for Yao Ming, no one can bring substantial help to Chamberlain. At this time, the embankment formed by the Chinese men's basketball team is a tofu slag project, and the flood is not a gap, but a direct collapse!
So what if Chamberlain was a rest? As long as he dares to stop the flood, he will become the first unlucky person to be washed away.
Little Nelson didn't notice this, but old Nelson was an old fox after all, and he saw through Papalucas's purpose at a glance, and immediately reminded his son to replace Chamberlain.
After Chamberlain went off the court, the defense of the Chinese men's basketball team immediately turned into a sieve, and small forward Vassilo Lopez immediately hit a shot on the right side. Wang Zhizhi, who replaced Chamberlain, began to be very uncomfortable in the face of the strong little shark, but he was also a veteran, and experience helped him.
Wang Zhizhi used clever feints to shake the little shark defense under the basket and hit the board into the basket, and then Wang Shipeng hit a ball outside the three-point line, and then Zhang Qingpeng made a layup. The Chinese team also played well for the rest of the first quarter, but the Greek team controlled the rhythm and advantage of the court, and Papalukas showed his European point guard NO against the likes of Sun Yue and Zhang Qingpeng. The strength of 1, steals, layups, and assists are all excellent, and have been helping the Greek team continue to extend their lead.
Until the last minute of the first quarter, Wang Zhizhi picked a ball and scored a layup, and the Chinese team still fell behind the Greek team 20-32.
In the second quarter of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team continued to rely on Yao Ming to lead the bench lineup, in this case, they couldn't resist the Greek team's tidal attack, but Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming still relied on their rich experience and strong ability to pose a certain threat to the Greek team under the basket.
But as Jannaski adjusted his tactics, this trick didn't work, and the little shark went to deal with Yao Ming, and Fortesis, who had been off the field before, reappeared to deal with Wang Zhizhi. Facing the infinitely powerful little shark, Yao Ming suddenly couldn't open the penalty area, and Wang Zhizhi was even more embarrassed by Fortesis.
The Greeks, for their part, launched a fierce attack, first with two free throws from Zkis to extend their lead to 40-25. Then Papalukas hit another three-pointer on the outside, Sun Yue made a mistake when passing the ball out of the court, the Greek team seized this opportunity, the small shark inside attack caused Yao Ming to foul, two free throws and two hits, the Chinese men's basketball team has fallen behind by more than 20 points.
The fans in the Wukesong Stadium were going crazy, they cheered one by one, and the sound of the fans shouting was like a wave, but the Chinese team became more and more chaotic, which made the fans can't help but feel cold: Liu Xiang retired at noon, and they came to see the Chinese team to find comfort, but they didn't know that they were injured more!
Nelson Jr. has repeatedly adjusted the lineup, but the effect is not good, today Zhu Fangyu felt quite poor, several three-point shots did not hit, in the second quarter of four and a half minutes, the Chinese men's basketball team did not score a point, and finally after Yao Ming grabbed the rebound in the front court and scored a free throw, they opened the situation.
Seeing this, Nelson Jr. no longer kept his hand, and with a big wave of his hand, he sent Chamberlain back on the field. When he was off the field before, the old Nelson strongly instructed Chamberlain how to play, and his instructions to Chamberlain was to attack the inside line, defend the inside line of the Greek team, and don't worry about the outside line, the Greek team can get a short lead by relying on the outside line, but it is impossible to lead forever.
As soon as he got on the court, Chamberlain followed Zhang Qingpeng to the hoop, he rushed into the penalty area and roared a 'pass', Zhang Qingpeng did not hesitate to throw the ball to the hoop, although at this time the inside line was crowded with several big men.
The little shark and Forteses both wanted to grab the ball, but above their heads, Chamberlain flew up domineeringly, took the lead in receiving the ball, and crashed into the two of them in the air, and smashed the ball into the hoop with a heavy two-handed dunk.
The Greek team is the main attacker, Papalukas still wants to use the old tricks to deal with Chamberlain, but the previous big battle made him seriously physically exhausted, and his control is no longer so perfect.
Zhang Qingpeng attacked quickly with the ball, Chamberlain followed behind, the Greek team retreated quickly, and they were all big men, and they directly blocked Zhang Qingpeng in the top arc of the penalty area. Chamberlain rushed up from behind, grabbed the ball and turned around directly, bypassed Fortesis to the basket, and was stunned to jump in the face of the two defenders, pressing the opponent to play a 2+1.
Chamberlain scored five points in a row after coming on the court, and the Chinese men's basketball team finally stabilized its position, and then, Fortessy's basket offense was pressed down by a big hat from Chamberlain, and the Dragons launched a counterattack.
After chasing eight points in a row, Jannarski was also a little anxious, and he replaced Papalukas, who had lost his stamina, and sent Spanoulis back on the court.
Spanoulis wanted to stabilize his position and attack in person, he broke through Zhang Qingpeng and then made a jumper, Chamberlain jumped up two steps to block and slap the ball down again.
The Dragons' attacks are getting more and more fierce and powerful, and with the cheers and cheers of the fans, the Greek team is really chaotic.
Fortunately, the time of the second quarter was over, relying on this wave of onslaught led by Chamberlain, the Dragons chased the score to around 10 points, and only trailed by 13 points at 42-53.
After the start of the third quarter, Yao Ming returned to the court, the Greek team missed the jumper, Chamberlain simply picked up the rebound, Liu Wei passed the ball to Yao Ming, who faced Forteses and made a strong layup and played a 2+1, so that the Chinese team finally chased the score to single digits.
The opponent's smooth attack and his own poor attack angered the little shark, and he stuck Chamberlain in the penalty area to ask for the ball alone.
Chamberlain now has a way of defending the little shark, he doesn't go hard with the opponent, and only uses five points of strength when defending. The little shark hit the basket and jumped out, and at the moment of his jump, Chamberlain seized the opportunity to jump with him, and a big hat knocked him off the head.
Liu Wei organized a fast attack, but Spanollis interfered with his pass and caused a mistake, and the Greek team attacked again, and the little shark stubbornly still asked for the ball alone.
Chamberlain changed his moves this time, and when the little shark hit him back, he pretended not to stand firm and retreated, and the little shark was overjoyed and hurriedly dribbled to the basket and jumped to dunk. It was at this time that Chamberlain was waiting for, he jumped high against the little shark from the front, another slap, and another big hat!
Two consecutive alignments and two consecutive blocks, the little shark was a little annoyed and angry, and waved his arm to give Chamberlain an elbow, which was really ruthless enough, Chamberlain was defenseless, and was turning around and waving to the fans, and was suddenly smashed on the neck and pushed down.
This scene infuriated the fans and players of the Chinese team, Zhang Qingpeng rushed up and gave the little shark a flying kick from behind, but the latter was too burly, and instead of kicking the opponent down, he was knocked into the air himself.
The referees rushed up in time to hold both sides down, and then gave Xiao Shark and Zhang Qingpeng a second-degree malicious foul, and directly sent them out of the court.
The little shark is definitely a fierce man, even if he is as strong as Chamberlain, he was smashed on the neck by such an elbow, and he was directly stunned, lying on the ground for half a minute without moving, and then staggered to his feet with the support of the team doctor.
But thank you for the ruthlessness of the little shark, otherwise Chamberlain would have to have a bloody battle today.
Although he stood up, Chamberlain was still dizzy, and the little shark also knew that he was in trouble, so he covered his head with a towel and walked towards the players' tunnel, and the fans on both sides of the tunnel angrily threw popcorn, mineral water bottles and other things in their hands at him, almost burying him alive at the door of the players' tunnel.
Chamberlain staggered in the direction of the little shark, and he roared, "Fuck grandson, fuck you!" Don't fucking run, give me the fuck back, I'm going to fucking kill you! , I'm going to kill you...... ......"
Little Shark's elbow directly caused Chamberlain's slight concussion, and Nelson Jr. had no choice but to replace him off the court, and at the same time replaced Yao Ming, who was not very happy and shouted: "We still have a chance, why do you replace me with me?" ”
There is no doubt that Nelson Jr. is going to give up this game - it doesn't matter if the Greek team has one less shark, but the Chinese team has less Chamberlain and the bench gangster Zhang Qingpeng is finished.
Little Nelson didn't explain, and directly sent all the substitutes, even if most of the main force was down, the Dragons attacked very fiercely, and they are now the same enemy, bent on avenging Chamberlain and Zhang Qingpeng.
