Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 254 [The Olympics is not suitable for you, the opponent's level is too low! 】

The Greek team conceded two goals in a row, and their offense was also contained by the US team.The U.S. team pressed in the frontcourt, and when they reached their own penalty area, they also adopted zone defense.

Judging from the World Series in recent years, NBA players are not used to world basketball.When Americans start adapting to world basketball and playing team basketball, no one can beat them.

The Dream 8 team attaches great importance to defense. Kobe and Billups have no star airs, and they are inseparable when marking players.Spanoulis relied on his teammates to break through the pick-and-roll. Hayes once again switched defenses in time to block the way of Spanoulis. Spanoulis wanted to pass the ball to the high post, but was intercepted by Billups.

Just started, Spanoulis has made two turnovers.Hayes did not give the former teammate face.Before the game, the old coach K had already issued an order to play against Greece as a championship game!
After Billups steals the ball and hands it to James, James dribbles with the ball, attracting the defenses of Diamantidis and Vaslopoulos.It is impossible for one person to prevent James' breakthrough, and they are going to "close the door" for James.

James stared straight ahead, took the ball with one hand and handed it to Kobe who followed up on the other side.Kobe rushed into the penalty area from the left and dunked the basketball with one hand! 6 to 0.

Greece counterattacked, Diamantidis transferred the ball inside, and center Gilinia Dakis singled Stoudemire. "Little Overlord" is at a disadvantage in height, but he has a strong body and can push tall opponents out of the three-second zone.Gillian Dakis turned to the middle and made a hook shot. 6 to 2.

The Greek players quickly returned to defense, and the US team's fast break was enough to scare all opponents.

Billups slowly took the ball across half court, and this time Hayes asked for it on the right side.Billups still passed Kobe first, and then moved himself, and Kobe was responsible for lobbing the ball to Hayes inside.

In such a star-studded team, Kobe is also willing to play a supporting role.Let him pass the ball to Hayes, and he has nothing to be unhappy about.Hayes' singles ability is too strong. Kobe sent the ball in and stood in place waiting to catch the ball and prepare for a jumper.Although Hayes hasn't moved yet, he feels that the ball will definitely be scored.

He's so fast, it's better to keep the distance and prepare to block the shot.Gillian Dakis thought.With the experience of being turned and broken by Hayes, he didn't dare to stick too tightly this time.

Hayes leaned back with the ball behind his back. He didn't feel anyone. He immediately took the ball and took a step outside, turned around and made a jumper.There was no hesitation, and the speed was very fast.Gillian Dakis followed a little slower, so he could only watch Hayes hit the jumper. 8 to 2.

So fast? !How can I guard against this?These two balls made Gillian Dakis feel a little weak.In his opinion, Hayes is not an inside player at all but a guard.

The head coach of Greece, Yannakis, also frowned. In the 2006 World Championships, the US team used Carmelo Anthony as a power forward, which made them very uncomfortable to defend. Now Anthony is on the bench. It can be seen that Hayes The singles ability is stronger.If he can't defend in the next round, he will have to make a substitution.

The Greek team attacked. After several passes, small forward Vaslopoulos made an emergency stop jump shot inside the three-point line. Although he escaped James' block, the goal was missed.

Hayes easily won the backboard and handed it over to Billups.The Greek players had come back quickly, so the Americans didn't have a quick counterattack.

Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Hayes for singles.This time Gillian Dakis was close, but he didn't defend hard. He wanted to keep a distance from Hayes and follow him to block shots at any time.

This time, Hayes dribbled the ball out, then turned to face the frame.Geelynya Dakis followed up and stepped out before his left foot landed. Hayes had already pulled the ball up with his right hand, turned around to the middle, and passed Geelynia Dakis easily.As Stoudamire pulled high, the inside has been evacuated.Hayes was unguarded under the basket, jumped with both feet, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand with his left hand! 10 to 2.

Gillian Dakis has been beaten.This kid is definitely not an insider, and insiders don't play like this.If the fight continues like this, he will definitely be blown to nothing.

Yannakis also saw this, but did not make adjustments to the lineup. Instead, he rushed to the court and shouted: "Switch defense. Antonis (Fortis) goes to defend Hayes."

Before the game, Fortis had volunteered to fight Hayes, and Yannakis was now ready to fulfill Fortis' wish.Although lacking in strength, Fortis is superior in height and wingspan, and has enough defensive experience, so there should be a way.

Yannakis didn't notice, just hearing his shout, Fortis's handsome face turned embarrassing.

The Greek offense still frequently passes the ball from the outside, and has never been able to find a breakthrough or a shot. This time, Gillignadakis pulled the outside pick-and-roll, Stoudemire followed, and Vaslopoulos threw it away. James, passing Stoudemire again, broke through to the inside.He felt that he had no defense, and he rushed to the basket for a layup.

But Vaslopoulos was wrong. If it was an ordinary insider, he could indeed layup directly.But it was Stoudemire who followed him from behind, and the ball became a cap.Stoudemire jumped high from behind and slammed the ball on the backboard, almost popping out of the penalty area.James received the basketball, turned around and found that Hayes had already run halfway, and the number 13 of Greece was struggling to catch up.

Poor guy, you've drawn the next lottery.James handed the ball to Hayes with a long pass. Looking at the thin body of No. 13, he secretly smiled.

Greece's number 13 is Diamantidis.He is 196cm tall and weighs 96kg. He plays point guard.He is currently one of the most powerful players in the Greek League and even the entire European League. He was elected the MVP of the Greek League four times in 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008, and was elected the MVP of the Greek League playoffs twice in 2006 and 2007. In 2007, he was the assist leader in the Greek League. Even in the European League, he is also one of the best players. In 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, he was elected as the best defender in the European Basketball Super League. In 2007, he was selected as the best team in the European Basketball , 2007 European Super League Final Four MVP, 2007 Mr. European Basketball.

No matter how many honors he has, even though his height and confrontation ability are very dominant among defenders, his opponent is Hayes, who can resist O'Neal.

"I'll fuck your lungs!" Hayes pouted his ass as soon as he entered the three-point line, and dribbled the ball towards the basket like a bulldozer.Diamantidis bravely resisted the first two strokes.But after the third and fourth shots, the poor Mr. European Basketball felt that he was a little out of breath, and he was really pushed into the lungs by his opponent.He unconsciously took half a step back, and Hayes immediately turned around and entered the basket, holding the ball with both hands, legs bent, and looked ready to jump and dunk.

"Don't think about it!" Fortis chased up from behind and jumped up to block the shot.What he didn't expect was that Hayes jumped back and collided with him. He scored with both hands and slammed the basket into the basket.

Fortis was hit by Hayes and lost his balance and sat on the ground, but Hayes landed firmly on one foot.The referee's whistle blew, and Hayes's shooting posture was not beautiful, but not only scored, but also caused a foul by Fortis.

Hayes turned his head and smiled at Fortis, "It's really slow, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Greek is the national language of the Greeks, but Fortis has also learned English, and he has learned it very well, and can converse fluently with foreigners.But he could understand what Hayes said, but he was not happy at all. He was underestimated at the beginning...

Hayes made a free throw. 13 to 2.

Yannakis frowned even tighter. Greece lost 11 points in the opening game, and he couldn't ask for a timeout.I want the players to adjust themselves again.

Fortis also asked for the ball inside, ready to single Hayes.His physique is naturally impossible to squeeze Hayes to play inside, ready to use technology to decide the outcome.How did he know that he just turned around to face the frame, and before he put down the ball, Hayes slapped the ball down with his palm.

Fortis failed to fight back on the spot, Hayes held the ball in his arms, squatted down, and hit the ground with a horse step.Not to mention grabbing the ball, even if you come up and push Hayes with your hands now, you may not be able to push it.Seeing his posture, the Greek players gave up pressing and quickly returned to defense.

Too strong, this Hayes is too powerful, both offensive and defensive are very strong!Who on our team can limit him?Yannakis thought, his palms sweating.If Hayes can't prevent this, Greece will definitely fail miserably today.

Just when he was having a headache about how to defend, Hayes caught the ball again, this time he moved to the left side, catching the ball and arching his back to the inside. The Greek players Fortis and Diamantidis faced the sea together. Yes double-teams.

Hayes flicked his hands gently and handed the ball to the high post Stoudemire.Stoudemire's seat was completely empty, and he even had time to wave and say hello to the fans in the stands. "Friends in China, how are you?" Then he made a jump shot and the ball hit the ball steadily! 15 to 2.

Yannakis quickly requested a timeout.The Greek offense couldn't get in, and the defense also had problems.The fast break of the United States was sharp, and Hayes succeeded in several attacks at 45-degree angles, which made Greece's zone defense a display.

"Under Andres, Kostas (Katsaris), you go on the field. Mainly defend Hayes. Be sure to guard his inside offense. If you can't defend one-on-one, the weak side is ready to double-team... ..." Yannakis said helplessly: "When attacking, the inside players all pull out to cover and shoot from high positions. Let Kostas grab rebounds in the frontcourt and return to defense immediately after shooting. Don't let them play fast breaks."

Kostas Chatsaris is 208 cm tall and weighs 113 kg. He is currently playing in the Greek League.His physical confrontation ability and rebounding ability are very strong, and he is one of the members of the European League Champions in the 2006-2007 season.

The US team did not adjust the lineup.The old coach K emphasized the need to resolutely attack with Hayes as the core.

The core of the Dream 7 team is James. James is a comprehensive player. The old coach K will not deliberately fix which position James will play.The role of James is not only to score, although he appears in the small forward position, he also assumes the task of ball control and offensive organization.

But James is not dominant inside. In 2006, the US team lost at this point.Howard can grab a lot of rebounds, but he is not dominant. In order to strengthen the team's offense, the old coach K let Howard sit on the bench for most of the second half.

Now, the old K thinks that Hayes is the one who can dominate the inside. Although he is only 198CM, he is stronger than James!As long as the ball is passed to Hayes, Team USA cannot fail!

After the timeout, Chatsaris of the Greek team pulled up to a high position to cover for his teammates.Fortis also pulled out, and they were ready to play outside.

After the pick-and-roll, Spanoulis handed the ball back to Chatsaris, a center who came off the bench with great shooting skills and a long shot from beyond the three-point line.After the switch, the man who defended him became Billups, and Chatsaris caught the ball and made a jumper. 15 to 4.

But the good times didn't last long, the United States attacked, and Hayes caught the ball again.Chatsaris defended and resisted Hayes with his body.Hayes took the ball and took two steps, turned to the middle, and took a step back.Just as Chatsaris stepped forward to block the shot, Hayes lightly jumped back and threw the ball high with one hand.Basketball goes head-on with cricket. 17 to 4.

Hayes' trick fadeaway appeared, and the Greek players who saw the ball were stunned.

On the way back to the defense, Kobe smiled and said: "Chuck, get off the field, we have no chance to shoot. Now I think the Olympics is not suitable for you, the opponent's level is too low!"
