Chapter 305: Welcome to China (2)
After Gasol Jr. turned around, he jumped up with his feet, grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it into the hoop, his arms raised high with thousands of pounds of strength, and the momentum was like cutting off the hoop behind him!
Just after he jumped, Chamberlain jumped up, his left boot was lost, but he didn't care, his right foot in the sneaker trampled the floor hard, and his left foot also followed suit, and his slender body flew straight up like a lit rocket.
Gasol Jr. looked at Chamberlain, who was the first to face to face with him, and the cold sweat came down all of a sudden, he subconsciously smashed the ball into the hoop, and as a result, a big hand roared on the running route of the ball, accurately pointed at the ball, and slapped the ball out of the air!
Navarro had been following the confrontation between the two, and as soon as the ball flew back upside down in Gasol Jr.'s hand, he jumped up to receive the ball, and after landing, he took a step back to widen the distance between him and Chamberlain, and then took a shot in the jump.
When Chamberlain found out that Navarro had grabbed the ball, he immediately pushed Gasol Jr. with great power. Gasol Jr., who has a big shoulder and a round waist, feels as if he has been slapped by the shovel of a large forklift, and when he lands on the ground, he can't help but stagger away.
Gaining the gap, Chamberlain didn't care about the shoes behind him, and rushed out of the door in two steps, facing Navarro who jumped up, he jumped up without hesitation, raised his right arm and legs and curled up backwards and slapped him in fear.
Navarro already had an estimate of Chamberlain's speed, and the reason why he dared to make a move was because Gasol Jr. blocked Chamberlain, and besides, he didn't believe that Chamberlain's reaction speed would be so fast that he could bypass Gasol Jr. to block himself.
How do you know that Chamberlain didn't go around at all, just like old Nelson knew about him, others hit the south wall and turned over the wall, he directly knocked down the south wall and walked forward!
Navarro never imagined that his tough teammate Gasol Jr. would be pushed away by Chamberlain like a dry grass, but he had already made a move, and watched a figure kill in front of him like a gale, jumping up and covering the sky in front of him!
Miscalculated! Now Navarro only has one thought in his heart, he never thought that Chamberlain's speed was so fast, he had already overestimated Chamberlain in his heart, but in the end, he realized that he still underestimated this young man's ability!
There was no accident, the ball was fanned down again, this time it was the Chinese men's basketball team who grabbed the ball, Chen Jianghua played his courage to grab the ball, took the ball and rushed forward - only eight seconds from the end of the first quarter!
Calderon chased Chen Jianghua wildly, he rushed to the three-point line in the front court very spicy, did not press all the way, but directly deployed at the three-point line.
Facing the strong Calderon, Chen Jianghua reached the three-point line and leaned forward with his right shoulder, and then his left foot stepped forward to the right front, Calderon subconsciously retreated to the side and back, but Chen Jianghua came to a back dribble, quickly handed the ball to his left hand, took the left foot and struggled to pull it back, used a back dribble past Calderon, and rushed all the way to the basket for a layup to score two points.
20-20, with two seconds left in the first quarter, the two teams were tied!
Spain suffered two blocks from Chamberlain in a row, and the players were a little stunned for a while, this kind of two-hat is unprecedented in the Olympic Games, no one has ever accomplished such a feat before, and naturally no one is so unlucky to encounter such a humiliating thing.
In the last two seconds, Calderon served to Navarro, who got the ball and dribbled stupidly, and when he reacted that there was no time to shoot, the referees' whistles had already sounded, and the big screen gave Navarro a close-up.
Not only Chinese fans are laughing, but fans from other countries except Spain are laughing, they clearly see that Chamberlain's two blocks were completed after losing their shoes, even if the back row did not see clearly, the big screen during the first quarter break was repeatedly playing the previous footage, and they clearly saw everything.
Before the end of the first quarter, Chamberlain didn't have time to pick up the shoes, and when the game was over, he was just about to pick up the shoes, when several cameramen rushed up with cameras and shot at the sneakers on the floor.
Chamberlain rushed in to pick up the shoes, handed them directly to a camera, and did not forget to promote his brand: "Champion sneakers, absolute champion quality!" It can't be stepped on, and it can't be broken! After wearing the championship boots, your feet are magical, and you can jump a meter barefoot! ”
Chamberlain's humor and playfulness won him a hit with the media, and he put on his shoes and walked off the pitch, leaving a big laugh on the pitch.
After the laughter, there is the admiration of the fans for Chamberlain, what is dedication? Chamberlain is dedicated, if you lose your shoes, then you don't have to worry about it, you should defend it, you should block it, and you can complete your task first!
Someone took the lead and stood up and started applauding, and then all the Chinese fans stood up and applauded, and they shouted in unison: "Chamberlain, good job!" ”
Wen Jiabao also applauded and cheered, and Chamberlain smiled brightly, took off his shoes and showed off again, perfectly showing his free and easy humorous side.
There was a lot of laughter on the Chinese side, but the atmosphere on the Spanish side was not very good, although the score was not behind, but Garcia was very angry, he resisted the urge to scold, sullenly took out the tactical board to arrange new tactics, this time he was around the outside.
At the start of the second quarter, neither team changed their lineups, so Gasol Jr. and Chamberlain stood together again.
"I'll blow you up!" Gasol Jr. gritted his teeth and said, not knowing whether he was scaring Chamberlain or building confidence in himself.
Calderon broke through to Navarro, and after receiving the ball, Navarro did not dare to rush into the penalty area guarded by Chamberlain, he hit the ground and passed to Pau Gasol, who nimbly shook off Wang Zhizhi, rushed into the basket and threw the board to score two points.
Yao Ming is not there, the absolute core of the Chinese men's basketball team is naturally Chamberlain, Chen Jianghua knows this, he is a young man, and Yao Ming and others have the least opportunities to practice together, just like a blank piece of paper, so that although he is the youngest, but after joint training, he is more familiar with Chamberlain's style of play and has better cooperation with him.
Chen's strengths lie in speed and bounce – he's a bit like Fernandes, he's super physical, but he's just too thin and his ability to fight is off. Calderón, on the other hand, is much stronger, but on the other hand, his speed is a flaw, and his defensive effect is mediocre. Defensively, he has a good confrontation ability and a good defensive attitude, but small problems in Europe still emerge from time to time.
Europe's outside players are strong in attack and weak in defense, because European basketball culture does not advocate individual heroic defense, they have a relatively complete team defense system, and each player contributes his or her own strength, so that they can play better. Single-defense opponents are generally unreliable, and in Calderón's case, the overall defensive level can only be said to be mid-range.
Chen Jianghua is more powerful in the breakthrough, he originally planned to pass the ball to Chamberlain, but Gasol Jr.'s defense was not bad, entangled Chamberlain.
Of course, this is normal, Gasol Jr.'s advantage is his defense, he relied on this bastard to eat, and it was also by this point that the NBA's scouts were selected for the NBA, otherwise with his offensive level, let alone the second round, no one would want him in the next two rounds.
In front of Chamberlain, Gasol Jr. showed perfect defensive awareness and showed a good defensive foundation, he stuck Chamberlain firmly behind him, and he was able to keep up in time when the latter ran back, the defense was very rigorous, and it was not easy to take feints.
Chen Jianghua wanted to break through, but at this time, Chamberlain squeezed away Gasol Jr. to get a good position, and the former didn't dare to stick the ball anymore and pass the ball over.
Gasol Jr. has a very high level of defense, he knows how to avoid fouls while successfully defending, and he usually chooses to interfere with the shot rather than try to cover the opponent every time, so in the face of Chamberlain's shooting action after raising his hand, he did not jump up directly, but tried to interfere with the opponent's shot as much as he could.
Chamberlain also started defense, he saw the strength of Gasol Jr., this guy not only has a good attitude, but also has great defensive footsteps, with his body, even if the general excellent interior line is as strong as Yao Ming, he has to be deflated in the face of him, in addition to relying on strong physical fitness to defend Yao Ming, a big center, can also defend some very flexible big men.
But Chamberlain is not an average good insideman, although his attacking skills such as hook hands, back shots, and box-turned jumpers have not yet been developed, but his strong physicality makes up for these shortcomings, and Gasol Jr.'s eyeing only makes him more combative, and he takes a tentative step forward while bouncing a shot.
Gasol Jr. was vigilant, but he still moved subconsciously, at this time, Chamberlain's right hand slapped the ball with his left foot and strode out of the ball with lightning at the same time, and after one step, he directly stepped through the defense line arranged by Gasol Jr., his speed was very fast, and Gasol Jr. only felt that the person in front of him disappeared.
Frightened, Gasol Jr. quickly retreated, while he also opened his arms to stop Chamberlain, and seized the opportunity to squeeze the opponent with his chest. And when the two collided at the same time, Chamberlain twisted his waist and shook his shoulders, like a windmill, and suddenly turned around and turned directly into the penalty area.
Little Gasol shouted angrily, tried to turn sideways and chase after him again, this time he chose to confront Chamberlain again, and Chamberlain did not dodge this time, he gritted his teeth and sank into the dantian, and his shoulders as strong as a bull slammed into Gasol's chest!
After this blow, little Gasol felt as if he had returned to the time when he was seven or eight years old, when he went to the beach with his parents to play, but a big wave suddenly turned over and fell on him, and Chamberlain gave him exactly the same feeling as when he faced a huge wave when he was a child!
Not only is it impossible to fight, but it is also desperate.
Chamberlain took two steps back directly from Gasol Jr., and when he pulled out the gap, he jumped and dunked, and Gasol Jr. has been paying attention to this side, and when he saw Chamberlain jumping, he jumped up and reached out to cover it. Chamberlain's astonishing ability to stay in the air was on display at this moment, he straightened his waist as if he was fixed in the air, and his arms were as fast as the wind to cut a semicircle to avoid Gasol's block, and pressed the opponent's arm to press the ball into the hoop!
Thunderous cheers rang out again in the Wukesong Arena, and the cries of 'MVP' and 'hero' became the most frequent words, and after Chamberlain landed, he glared at Gasol Jr. and roared: "Rookie, welcome to China!" Welcome to the Olympic Games! Welcome to Lao Tzu's toy! ”
The momentum of the Chinese men's basketball team is getting stronger and stronger, Calderon was taken out of the ball by Chen Jianghua when he broke through with the ball, he and Zhu Fangyu attacked forward with a left and a right, Chen Jianghua rushed to the front court with the ball like lightning, Navarro was attracted by him and rushed into the penalty area with him all the way, at this time Chen Jianghua turned around and passed the ball to his big brother on the same team, Zhu Fangyu had no one in front of him, he got the ball and stood outside the three-point line is a magic shot!
