Chapter 554 [Small shark or sea elephant]
A qualifying match was held at 3:30 in the afternoon to attract jade for the final.`
Spain defeated Germany and finally ranked fifth.
In fact, neither side is interested in playing qualifying matches, and it doesn’t make sense to compete for fifth place. At most, there is more bonuses. European countries are not short of that little money and don’t look down on this ranking.
Spain has become the most unlucky team of this year. Paul Gasol broke his left foot in the game, which may affect his new season in the NBA.
Before the game started, Wang Jun received a special greeting in the locker room, and Bradley Cooper called.
The unreliable third-rate actor's way of encouraging is a bit unique. "Wang, you must lead the team to win Greece. I invested $200,000 in the final to buy you to win the championship! You must win! Otherwise I will have to work in a nightclub and do Channing Tatum's work..."
Few Americans save money, and this is Cooper’s entire wealth.
Wang Jun asked: "Isn't he an actor?"
"Tatum worked as a stripper before entering the entertainment industry," Cooper explained.
Wang Jun was speechless, and said "bye" and hung up the phone.
Players betting on football is a taboo. Once exposed, they will die. So Wang Jun has never studied it. It feels strange that people he knows bet on him.
In fact, there are people who bet on football in any large-scale game, which is inevitable, and NBA is no exception. It’s just that the league’s supervision is relatively strong now, and no one from the betting group has ever looked for Wang Jun.`
Yunas arranged the tactics. "The ball was suspended to Yao Ming at the beginning and the team was singled out. Wang Zhonglu had no ball cover to go to the right bottom line, and was on one side with Zhu Fangyu, and had the chance to play by himself. If the opponent shrinks or doubles the ball, then pass the ball to the periphery."
Yao Ming performed so well on the field. Yunas was full of confidence in him. His opponent Vasireatis was only 2o5cm tall and claimed to be strong in defense. That was aimed at the outside, not against Yao Ming. As long as Yao Ming can have the upper hand, the game will be very easy to play.
It is difficult for those who cannot withstand Yao Ming's offensive rhythm. Yao Ming showed obvious advantages in the warm-up match between the two sides.
On the other side, Yi Jianlian gave Liu Wei a cover, which allowed him to pass the ball more calmly.
Greece still uses the joint defense tactics against Meng Qi to strictly prevent outside shooting and breakthroughs. The coach's idea is normal. Even the American team has been defeated, and this set of tactics should work for the Chinese team.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
After the game started, Yao Ming turned around and shot two consecutive goals with a low post, and was invincible with one-on-one shot, while Greece's perimeter shot was missed due to interference.
In the third round, the Chinese team grabbed the rebound and fought back. Wang Jun received the ball in the frontcourt, stopped with a quick stop from outside the three-point line, and took a jump shot against Diamantidis and hit a three-pointer.
Diamantidis was elected the best defensive player in the European League last season, with a height of 198cm and a weight of 1oo kg, nicknamed "Octopus Man".
This is not to say that he looks like an octopus, but is good at defending closely and not afraid of confrontation.
However, his physical fitness is not very outstanding. He is not very fast. He is a weakened version of Artest. This weakness was captured by Wang Jun and he relies on his agility to create shooting space.
Greece attacked, Papalucas passed Liu Wei, which attracted the Chinese team to shrink and split the ball out of the outside. Power forward Ford Sis missed the three-pointer at an open position, and the rebound was grabbed by Yao Ming.
The Chinese team fought back again, and Wang Jun broke through to attract the defense and passed it to Zhu Fangyu. The latter also made a three-pointer based on his height advantage.
4 of 4 shots, 1o started with O, and the Chinese team missed Greece.
After the Greek team defeated Meng7, everyone felt that the team's defense line was already perfect. However, the Chinese team's playing style is not the same as Meng7. It is not as good as Meng7 than defending China. But looking at the inside offense, Meng7 is just ordinary.
Meng Qi only relied on his personal ability and outside attack, so he was restrained by Greece.
Greece can reach the finals, scoring inside is also a key factor in winning. Vasireatis's single-handed challenge to Yao Ming was a delusion and could only pull out the pick-and-roll, striving to withdraw Yao Ming from the basket.
China's defense is redirected to rotation on the periphery. Yao Ming also defends the ball when it reaches the bottom line, and Greece's shooting rate is not high.
In order to defend Yao Ming, Greece made a substitution in 6 minutes. With Vasireatis, SoffChris, nicknamed "Little Shark", came on the court.
This is a black fat man with a height of 2o6cm and weighs 156 kilograms. How could this be a little shark? He is simply a walrus!
He can withstand anyone, and he can also rely on tonnage to attack to attract double-teams.
Yao Mingyi's match against "Little Shark" was not so easy to play, and his rhythm would be disrupted under close defense. Greece took the opportunity to chase 7 points in a row, and Yunas requested a timeout.
17 to 18, Greece reversed one point.
Yu Jia said anxiously: "The new black center forward is stronger than Yao Ming, with good defensive effect and has also opened the offensive end. See how the Chinese team adjusts, I think it's time for Wang Jun to attack. Now Wang Jun only scores 3 points, and Yao Ming scores 8 points."
Zhang Heli sighed: "Wang Jun only took action twice today, and he needed to score points on the outside."
Wang Jun was just waiting for the coach's arrangement. This "little shark" was obviously the kind of pick-and-roll defense. Even if he was full of muscles, he was not a joke to have a burden of more than 3 o'clock. How to defend the defender?
Yunas also saw the weakness and arranged for Yao Ming to go out for pick-and-roll, the role players were pulled apart, and the outside attacked.
Yi Jianlian, who had no performance, ended up in the game, Du Feng was not strong at the Greek No. 4 position, so there was no need to worry about losing the battle, and there was an extra three-pointer on the field.
After the timeout, Yao Ming went outside the three-point line to cover Wang Jun. He received the ball and moved horizontally to get rid of Diamantidis, took a three-pointer in the middle, and hit the 2o to 18 without any interference.
Yi Jianlian said that the peripheral defense rotated faster, and the "Little Shark" cover was useless and was directly released on the outside. His shooting was not as reliable as Vasireatis who was replaced.
He didn't make a shot waiting for his teammate to answer, and after passing several times, Papalucas missed the jump shot.
In the positional battle of the Chinese team, Wang Jun jumped and threw away the two of them and broke into the basket, attracting the little shark to make up for defense, and the ball was divided into the bottom corner on the left. Du Feng did not waste any chance at the open three-pointer, and scored again! 23 to 18.
Yu Jia shouted: "The Chinese team has regained its advantage, it's beautiful."
Zhang Heli excitedly said: "It's right to fight like this. Use mobility to pull out the other party's fat man."
Greece attacked, passing the ball back and forth on the outside, but there was no good chance. Small forward Kakiokis missed the jump shot.
Yao Ming won the rebound, and the Chinese team landed in the position again, playing without any rush or impetuousness.
Yao Ming gave Wang Jun cover and Du Feng ran to the top line. In this way, he could only switch to the "Little Shark" to the middle pick-and-roll.
He stood near the penalty area and wanted to wait for his opponent to break out. Wang Jun moved one step, made a three-pointer in the middle without any pressure, and entered the net hollowly. 26 to 18.
After scoring three three-pointers in a row, Greek head coach Jannakis was forced to request a timeout.
The slow rotation of the center forward is not a hopeless weakness, but the "Little Shark" is too forced to defend Wang Jun. His movement ability is acceptable, but compared with the inside, it is not as good as the defender.
Spain vs. China, Gasol only played for 3 minutes, and the "Little Shark" faced the same problem.
After the timeout, another center Paduboros came on the court. He was 21ocm tall and weighed 1o8 kg.
"Little Shark" will lose if he continues to play the game. When he plays the United States, he can only be substituted for a while because of his poor mobility. If he doesn't lose weight, he is destined to be unable to play NBA.
