The players of the Greek team looked at me and I looked at you, obviously they haven’t realized what happened. The game had just started, and the Chinese team scored before the Greek players even reached the corresponding defensive position. This goal was too abrupt for the Greek team, even players like Fortis and Gilidanakis. I didn’t even see how the goal was scored.
After Gilidanakis jumped the ball, he immediately prepared to mark Dayao. In his sight, Dayao suddenly stopped just as he was about to start.
"Why doesn't Dayao leave? He is the main offensive point of the Chinese team. This attack will definitely be initiated by him, but what does it mean if he stays in the midfield? I don't believe he can score the ball in the midfield. It's not an NBA shooting contest!" Just as Gilidanakis was wondering, he heard the sound of the basketball rubbing against the net.
It was a sound Gilidanakis knew all too well, the sound of a goal.
"What? A goal?" Gilidanakis happened to see Zhang Guan who had landed.
"Is it Zhang Guan? Did he score a goal? When did he get to the basket?"
The same idea is shared by the Greek team's starting power forward Forsis.
Fordsis is also 27 years old this year. He is 208 centimeters tall and weighs only 99 kilograms. He has also played in the NBA. He was selected by the Grizzlies with the 48th pick in the second round at the end of 2001. Basically, he cannot be included in the rotation lineup. member. Fordsis' height and weight were obviously at a disadvantage against the UAE, especially in defense, so his attention was mainly focused on the UAE and he did not pay attention to Zhang Guan's goal.
In fact, when Dayao saw Zhang Guan's ball, he knew that Zhang Guan was going to attack the basket directly. Dayao knew about Zhang Guan's breakthrough ability. He firmly believed that Papalukas could not guard Zhang Guan, so Simply stopped, and the other three players of the Chinese team almost made the same choice.
So this goal was especially weird. The four Chinese players barely moved and watched Zhang Guan rush to the empty basket and score a layup.
Many fans in the stadium also did not react. After the scoreboard in the middle of the straightway showed 2:0, everyone realized that the Chinese team had scored the first goal. The next second, cheers resounded throughout the stadium.
The cheers were so harsh in Papalukas's ears, and Papalukas felt a little annoyed at this time.
Papalukas can play the three roles of point guard, shooting guard and small forward on both offense and defense. Since Papalukas is 2 meters tall, he is taller than most point guards. This also gives him an advantage when facing most point guards, whether it is steals or steals. Still blocking shots, these are what Papalukas is good at.
Papalukas has always been very confident in his defense, but for Zhang Guan’s goal just now, it was obviously Papalukas who should take the blame. Zhang Guan broke through before Papalukas could react. In the restricted area, this is obviously unacceptable to the arrogant Papalukas.
"It's just a sneak attack. You won't be so lucky next time!" Papalukas snorted and signaled Fordsis to pass the ball to him.
…
During the Greek TV broadcast, the two commentators also seemed a little embarrassed. They were teasing the Chinese team a moment ago, but before they could finish their words, Zhang Guan scored a goal.
"The Chinese team actually scored first!" The two of them felt like they were instantly slapped in the face.
After a brief absence, the commentator was the first to react and said: "The Chinese team started a psychological war at the beginning. As we all know, the Chinese team's main attack point is Dayao, so we also habitually thought that the first goal would let Dayao came to attack, but this time the Chinese team did the opposite, letting Zhang Guan take advantage of our unsteady footing to make a surprise attack and score first. Yunus's tactical arrangement seems to be very successful."
"That's right, but this kind of tactical arrangement can only be used once. If you use it again next time, others will definitely be on guard." The guest continued: "Basketball matches still compete on comprehensive strength. One or two clever tricks may be able to make a difference." However, the gap in overall strength cannot be made up by cleverness, and victory will ultimately belong to the stronger side."
The commentator looked confident, and on the field, Papalukas had already started dribbling forward.
As for the Chinese team, because four players in the last attack did not pass their own half, they had already retreated and prepared their formation to welcome the Greek team's attack. The two sides fell into an offensive and defensive positional battle.
Breakthroughs and scoring have always been a tactic used well by European teams. As the strongest point guard in Europe, Papalukas is naturally good at this. Facing Zhang Guan's defense, Papalukas did not hesitate. Hesitantly chose to break through and score the ball.
"Let you taste my power!" Papalukas accelerated and changed direction, and then began to break through.
Papalukas is much taller than the average point guard, so in one-on-one situations, using his body to forcefully break through his opponent is a trick that Papalukas has tried many times.
"Someone should be here to help defend!" Papalukas observed the surrounding situation while making a breakthrough. In Papalukas' view, Zhang Guan is not as tall as himself, so he will definitely suffer in defense. At this time, someone will come to help Zhang Guan with defense.
However, what Papalukas did not expect was that all the players on the Chinese team were focused on their respective opponents, and no one stepped forward to help defend.
"If no one comes to help defend, then I will be rude!" Papalukas started to break through with confidence, but the next second he discovered that Zhang Guan was not squeezed away by him as he imagined. Instead, he was blocked from the three-point arc.
In the physical confrontation between the two sides, Zhang Guan did not suffer, but took advantage.
"I can't beat him! It feels like I'm facing a black athlete, and he's the strongest black athlete!" Papalukas' face instantly turned ugly.
Papalukas's physical fitness is very good, but he also compares his scores with others. Compared with Asian players, Papalukas is definitely stronger, and compared with European white players, Papalukas is also very strong. , but compared with the black players in the United States, Papa Lucas is at a disadvantage. Zhang Guan's physical fitness is a few points better than the black players in the United States. Even though there is a height gap between the two sides, Paopalukas is at a disadvantage. It is still impossible for Palukas to rely on his body to defeat Zhang Guan.
Papalukas, who failed to break through, had to return to the front of the midfield and start preparing to attack again.
"Is this really an Asian player? Are there any players in Asia who can resist like this? It feels like I'm against a wall!"
