Chapter Ninety-Six: But That's Why
Originally, the knockout round was a crucial match, after all, it was about who could go further in the Olympic journey of both teams and who would go home.
And now because of Spanolys's remarks, it immediately became even more important.
Since childhood, this is a battle for the righteous name of Xiao Xian.
A little bigger is the national war between China and Greece, two ancient civilizations.
By extension, it can be regarded as a dispute between the length of the FIBA system and the NBA.
The game was given so much meaning that the ratings began to explode before it was broadcast, and ESPN in the United States bought the game and broadcast it in prime time. Once upon a time, they rarely broadcast basketball games outside of Team USA.
"The significance of this game is whether our No. 7 pick, the least favored pick of the year, can teach the big Spandans a hard lesson, which is about the dignity of the NBA. The NBA is the highest temple of basketball, how can it tolerate being provoked? ”
ESPN's McBrin summed up the game before the game began.
And the host of CCTV also summed up the significance of this game in a paragraph: "Now, almost the eyes of the world are staring at this game, which is especially important for Chinese." Spanolys's remarks were not hesitant to slap the Chinese in the face at home, and if the Chinese team failed to win the game this time, then... The morale of the Chinese men's basketball team will plummet. The super popularity that Xiao Dash has accumulated with great difficulty will also collapse in an instant, and even become the object of ridicule. After all, no one likes a weak loser. ”
However, if Xiao Shi can teach Spanoulis a hard lesson this time, then his popularity will skyrocket, and he will be regarded as a national hero like Huo Yuanjia. The most important thing is that his evaluation in the United States will be a little better, after all, he has taught the unbeatable king of Europe on behalf of the NBA! Moreover, he is still a rookie, which is extremely significant! ”
The CCTV host's summary is always so chattering, but fortunately, he has sorted out all the key relationships, making it easy to understand the meaning behind this game.
And at this time, the game officially began.
Yao Ming defeated his opponent in the jump ball without any surprise, and Xiao Sao took the first step to control the ball.
Then he went into the half with the ball alone, and he had already forgotten what Younas had said three minutes earlier. Younas said to him: "Shaw, you still can't be the outside core of the offense with the ball in this game, although this game is very important, but it is not a big moment for us.
Younas's words do make sense from the big picture.
However, Xiao Dash decided to put this truth aside. has been slapped in the face, do you still have to swallow your anger Taoguang to raise obscurity? This is not a chic style, when it is time to show the sword, show the sword, kill him and lose his armor and urine.
So, when Xiao Sao came to the front court outside the three-point line with the ball, he immediately stopped, and then stretched out his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and ticked at Spanoulis: "Come on!" Let's go heads-up! ”
The chic movements were obvious, and his meaning was clear. It's about teaching Spanoulis a lesson.
His action immediately sparked screams and cheers from the fans. Not to mention Xiao Shao's strength, just with his bright sword spirit, he is already worthy of applause.
The audience in front of the TV also clenched their fists excitedly, waiting for Xiao Xian's next move.
"It's unbelievable that Xiao Xiao took the initiative to find Spanoulis on the first ball. It seems that he is really going to make a move tonight. The host of CCTV shouted excitedly in the live broadcast room.
"I've fallen in love with this guy a little bit, I like this guy's fighting spirit, he's not a sissy." ESPN's commentator McBrin also praised the chic style.
TV stations love conflicting images, and now, Xiao Shi gave them a high tide as soon as he came on the stage.
Everyone is looking forward to a chic performance, but Younas is not looking forward to it. His brows furrowed instantly, he didn't think it was a rational act, he thought that Xiao Xiao should still be quiet and bright, and only shine when the next opponent arrived!
Of course, part of the reason for this love is that of Span Paris. Span Paris was his favorite disciple, and he didn't want to see his disciple being taught a bad lesson on the court. Because he knows Xiao Shi's breakthrough strength too well!
Younas knew Xiao Shao's breakthrough strength, but his beloved apprentice Spanoulis didn't, and when he was provoked by Xiao Shao, a sneer of disdain hung on his face, and he thought that Xiao Xiao was humiliating himself.
"Sure enough, it's a rookie who doesn't know the height of the sky, and he dares to provoke me as soon as he comes on the field, it's naïve and naïve!" Spanoulis shook his head and condescendingly taught Xiao Shao, but he still didn't take Xiao Shi seriously.
However, his defensive moves were already pressing. He firmly stuck Xiao Shao's breakthrough line, and pressed step by step, trying to mess up Xiao Shao's direct force, so as to lead to a mistake.
I have to say that his individual defense is very good.
However, good defense is not enough for Xiao Dash.
Seeing Xiao Shao, he took a half step back slightly, and Spanoulis just wanted to continue to press forward. Xiao Sage took advantage of the half-step buffer with lightning speed, and quickly turned to the left and leaned forward. The basketball rushed in front of Spanoulis with great force.
Spanoulis didn't expect Xiao Xian's actions to be so fast, and he subconsciously adjusted his defense.
But as soon as he adjusted, more space leaked out in front of him again.
Bang!
With a dashing crossover, the basketball quickly moved from Spanoulris's left to the right, so large that Spanoulis's head hadn't even turned around, and his eyes were still looking stupidly to the left.
By this time, the basketball had come to the right side.
Xiao Sao didn't make any stops, he pushed the ball directly, and his body drilled over quickly.
Spanoulis was powerless to stop him, he didn't expect Xiao Xian's ability to control basketball to be so sharp. It's completely at the top level of the NBA.
At this moment, Span Nuolis even thought of Alan Iverson.
But the chic in front of him is half a head taller than Iverson, but the flexibility is even better.
At the moment, there was a faint worry in Spanoulis's heart, and he felt that he might have to plant tonight.
While Spanoulis felt bad, Xiao Shi had already made a quick move...... Swish!
Perfect and accurate three-point!
After the goal, he raised three fingers arrogantly.
The crowd has erupted in an astonishing roar. This goal is not just a three-point for them, it has something else, which is to raise eyebrows!
Xiao Swig slapped Spanollis in the face with his actions.
While this is just the beginning, it's already a wonderful start.
"If that's all your defense is. So, what qualifications do you have to say that the NBA is nothing more than that? You're just an inferior player who has been kicked out of the NBA. When Xiao Sa passed by Spanolys's side, he did not hesitate to use his sharp words, and every word pierced Spanolys's heart: "Also, remember my name, my name is Xiao Sa. Tonight, I'm going to teach you how to play basketball. ”
After Xiao Shi said this, he strode away. Leave Spanoulis with a tall back.
"Well done, chic. He simply passed Spanollis neatly, this is the best tribute to Spanolys! The host of CCTV said excitedly.
At this time, McBlin, the commentator of the American ESPN, did not hesitate to praise him: "That's right, that's what it is." It's about leaving Spanooris behind like a stake. Look, this is just our rookie, a rookie can dazzle the so-called European king, what qualifications does he have to be proud of? In other words, the breakthrough ability of our No. 7 show is really not bad at all! ”
