"Return to defense quickly, they have fast breakers." Papalukas reminded.
Several other players on the Greek team were shocked at the same time. They were also players with high football intelligence. At this time, they recalled carefully that the Greek team lost consecutive goals, but they were all quickly counterattacked by the Chinese team. Although the Chinese team only had one person counterattacking quickly, their victory was because they were fast enough. However, their return to defense was indeed too slow, and some people were not resolute in their return, which led to the current situation.
The players of the Greek team learned from the experience. At this time, they were already alert to Zhang Guan's quick counterattack, and they made a decision in their hearts. Next time they encounter this kind of situation, they must quickly return to defense and don't give up. Zhang Guan's opportunity to directly attack the basket.
The Greek team launched another attack, and it was Papalukas who still held the ball, and Zhang Guan followed Papalukas closely like last time.
Vasropoulos stepped forward to respond in advance, making the Greek team's advance much smoother this time, but Papalukas still had difficulty getting rid of Zhang Guan's tight marking.
…
"Zhang Guan's defense is so good. Papalukas has no chance to organize an offense." In the audience, a scout from the US team hurriedly took notes in his small notebook.
Next to him, another scout frowned, as if thinking about something. After a few seconds, he said: "Do you think Zhang Guan's defense is great?"
"Great defense? Of course! It's great to be able to defend Papalukas so tightly. Although Papalukas is not as good as the top point guards in the NBA, he should be able to be a starter in the NBA! "As the man spoke, he continued to record in his notebook without raising his head.
"Then don't you find it strange? Why does Zhang Guan have such a good defense?" the scout then asked.
"That's because..." The man finally raised his head: "Yes, why does Zhang Guan have such a good defense? Is it because his body is good enough?"
"It's not just the body, but also the defensive awareness and experience. Papalukas is a player with a very high IQ. Just having a good body cannot guard against an experienced player like Papalukas. This is what I have always been puzzled about. This defensive awareness and defensive experience must be honed through countless games. Even in the NBA, many outstanding rookie players have to go through three or five seasons to hone their skills. A qualified defense. It stands to reason that Zhang Guan has a track and field background, and he can only be regarded as a basketball rookie. How can he have these things?" After the man finished speaking, he turned around and saw that the scout just lowered his head again. Record something in the notebook.
"What are you still writing?" he asked;
"I have to break down what you just said, which is defensive awareness and defensive experience." He still didn't look up, but said as he wrote: "Isn't it a major factor to gain a foothold in the NBA if the defense is good enough? "
…
The Greek team plays collective basketball, relying on the team's tactics and the tacit cooperation of the players, rather than physical head-on confrontation. In this Greek team, Papalukas is the undisputed "brain of the team" and the initiator of the offense.
However, at this time, the initiator of the offense was restricted by Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan's defense prevented Papalukas from focusing all his energy on organizing the offense. Although Papalukas likes to pass the ball, it does not mean that he will make some unnecessary passes. For an excellent point guard, every pass they make should be followed by a series of tactical coordination. From the starting point, a meaningless pass can even be regarded as a turnover for the point guard.
Now Papalukas faces Zhang Guan. It’s not that he can’t pass the ball, but he can’t find a suitable response partner. Every time his teammates have a chance, Zhang Guan will always inadvertently block the pass. On the route, Papalukas did not dare to pass the ball easily to avoid being interfered by Zhang Guan and making mistakes.
"How does Zhang Guan have such a good defensive awareness? Why can he always see through my passing intentions? This is definitely a quality only top defenders have." Papalukas said with confusion in his eyes.
Of course, Papalukas didn’t know that Zhang Guan had an incredible system. He learned from Kobe’s game experience. Kobe was the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year for several times, so as long as Kobe defended carefully, he would be enough to defeat the NBA midfielders. Causes great distress to any defender. Defending white European players like Papalukas is even more difficult.
Finally, Papalukas found an opportunity to pass the ball, but this opportunity was not very good. For a team like Greece that plays collective basketball, not having a good opportunity means that the tactics were not executed. , also means that the ball is difficult to score, so in the end the Greek team failed to score the ball, the ball bounced out of the frame, and the Chinese team got a defensive rebound.
"Get back on defense!" Papalukas shouted, and this time the other players of the Greek team were obviously well prepared, including center Gilidanakis, who was running back desperately.
Zhang Guan once again tried to counterattack quickly, but just after midfield, he found that the Greek team had returned to defense and there was no chance for a fast break. So Zhang Guan simply stopped and waited for other teammates to come up and engage in positional warfare.
Other players of the Chinese team also saw that there was no chance for a fast break, so they began to run forward.
This scene made the Greek team helpless. They desperately ran back to the court to defend, but the Chinese team, as the offensive side, slowly came over, especially the center Gilidanakis, as a traditional center, quickly returned to the court. Fang Fang's running was always a huge burden for him, but now that he saw Dayao leisurely jogging over, he felt a different kind of grievance in his heart.
But it won't work if he doesn't run back quickly. If he comes back too late, Zhang Guan will be beaten into a quick counterattack.
I saw Dayao walking to his good receiving position, and then reaching out for the ball. However, Gilidanakis did not go around to defend, so Zhang Guan easily passed the ball to Dayao's hands.
Dayao is best at dealing with traditional centers. Facing Gilidanakis, Dayao turned and made a half-hook and scored the ball directly. As for Gilidanakis, who is 216 centimeters tall, facing Yao who is 10 centimeters taller than him, he can only watch him score the ball.
"The goal is scored! 10-0, the Chinese team leads the Greek team 10-0 at the beginning! It is unbelievable that we actually led the Greek team 10-0 at the beginning of the game! You must know that the Greek team was the runner-up in the last World Championships , they have also defeated the American team, and in today’s international basketball world, the Greek team is also the top team.”
The Chinese audience cheered endlessly, but the Greek team's head coach Yannakis finally couldn't sit still and asked for a timeout.
"The Greek team requests a timeout!"
As this voice was announced on the radio, the atmosphere in the stadium was once again pushed to a climax.
"The Greek team called a timeout! Did you hear it? The Greek team called a timeout!"
"Awesome! The Chinese team is awesome! We stopped the Greek team!"
