NBA villain

Chapter 528 Adversity

A few minutes into the game, the Chinese team was clearly behind.

The tactical execution and basic skills of Spanish players are better than those of Chinese players. The two defenders Calderon and Navarro are also much better at reading the game than Liu Wei and others.

The outside line was suppressed, and the score was 6 points behind 11 to 5.

Navarro and Calderon don't easily enter the penalty area, and they don't take shots easily after entering the penalty area. No matter how strong the defensive ability is, Yang Di has no way to destroy such an attack.

Yao Ming made a jump shot and the Chinese team fell behind 8-11.

For Spain, the defense of the two big insiders of the Chinese team is always tricky. No matter how many ways they think, Yao Ming and Yang Di can always score stably.

At 4 minutes and 30 seconds, the Chinese team replaced Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu.

Yang Di moved to the small forward position, and Sun Yue and Liu Wei partnered in the backcourt.

At the same time, Spain also made lineup adjustments. Garbajosa was replaced, Felipe Reyes played, Calderon rested, and teenager Rudy Fernandez played.

Spain also hopes to take turns to use the organizational skills of Navarro and Calderon, so after Calderon is off the field, the overall lineup of the Spanish team presents a relatively balanced height.

The new player Rudy Fernandez is 21 years old this year. When he was 15 years old, he played in Juventus.He has explosive power and jumping ability that are rare for whites, and his physical fitness is top in Europe.

Next year, Fernandez will be 22 years old, and he will automatically enter the ranks of the NBA draft. With his strength and talent, he will definitely be selected by the team. At that time, it will not be whether the NBA wants him, but whether he is willing to come this alliance.

Compared with many players who are still struggling in American universities, Fernandez is indeed a lot ahead.

"Oh? Did you replace the two players selected in this year's draft?"

Spain's coach Hernans frowned and thought. In recent years, the Chinese men's basketball team has developed rapidly. In addition to Yang Di and Yao Ming, two top players in the NBA, there are also some new blood who are about to enter the NBA, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue. People are like this. Among them, Yi Jianlian, who was selected with a high pick, has attracted even more attention.

Sun Yue is very similar to Fernandez, one of the top physical fitness in Asia and one of the top physical fitness in Europe.

The difference is that Fernandez is good at attacking, while Sun Yue is good at defending.

"After entering the NBA, the first thing you need to improve is your outside defense and outside shooting ability. The rest of the organization and offense, breakthrough and scoring, don't need to be practiced. There are some dribbling ghosts in the NBA, and the breakthrough is good. Only defense and Only with three points can we gain a foothold."

Sun Yue thought of Yang Di's advice in his mind, and looked at Fernandez in front of him, with a fiery fighting spirit in his heart.

Come on, take you as the best experience.

After Liu Wei switched to Navarro, he was able to keep up with Navarro in terms of speed. In addition, Liu Wei defended cautiously, did not lose his position, did not take risks, and had flexible steps. Navarro's breakthrough and shooting were limited to a certain extent.

At the end of the first quarter, Spain led the Chinese men's basketball team by 22 points 18 to 4.

Yao Ming came off the court to take a rest. In fact, he didn't want to leave the court, but in the confrontation with Gasol, it was an NBA-level confrontation, and he actually consumed a lot of energy.

The Chinese team replaced Wang Zhizhi, and at the same time, replaced Liu Wei with Chen Jianghua.

"Don't make mistakes, pass the ball carefully!" Jonas asked Chen Jianghua. The 17-year-old Chen Jianghua is the youngest player in the entire Chinese team. He is very fast and can handle the ball. Yang Di praised him for his future. The strength of the NBA.

Jonas likes Chen Jianghua very much, and hopes that through his breakthrough, the lack of aggressiveness of the Chinese team's back line can be improved.

Yang Di didn't think so. Yang Di hoped that he could be paired with a taller guard who could do a good job in defensive tasks. On the offensive end, he could survive the second quarter by himself.

The Spanish player defending Yang Di is Felipe Reyes.

Reyes is the main insider of the Real Madrid team. He is tall but flexible. He has a certain post-up singles ability and is good at 45-degree diagonal attack. He can participate in the team's fast break and send some blocks.

Of course, it may also be because of his panacea-like skills that he was not favored by the NBA in the end.

But it is undeniable that Reyes is a good player in the international arena and in the Spanish national team.

With his feet spread apart and one hand raised, he worked diligently to defend Yang Di and stood ready.

Yang Di holds the ball high, thinking why Spain doesn't use outside players to defend him?He himself ran to the outside line.

He didn't even think about it. With his current physical strength and breakthrough level, if outside players came over, he would have no advantage in height and weight. Wouldn't it be even worse to defend?

Yang Di took a tentative step and stuck out his right foot.

The Spanish player immediately came over to double-team, and he distributed the ball to Sun Yue on the flank.

Sun Yue made a two-step breakthrough and encountered the Spanish men's basketball team who was defending in rotation. With a light flick of his left hand, the basketball was beautifully passed to Yang Di who was going down.

Yang Di's eyes lit up, he caught the ball and took a big leap, knocked away the Spanish substitute center Marc Gasol who was guarding the inside, raised the basketball with one arm, and smashed the basket for a dunk.

"S~"

Marc Gasol touched his broken chest and grinned in pain.

"It's a good pass!" Yang Di pointed to Sun Yue, and after patting her chest, Sun Yue also raised her finger to point at him, and the two greeted each other.

Gasol looked anxious off the court, his younger brother was still too young, and without him guarding the basket, he was immediately ravaged by Yang Di.

Soon, Yang Di caught the ball in a low post, turned around and hit a jumper.

As soon as the Chinese team came up in the second quarter, they tied the score 22-22.

"Damn."

Spanish men's basketball coach Hernans cursed secretly, Yang Di is really troublesome, and there are too many offensive methods, no matter whether he is close to the penalty area or far away from the penalty area, he has ways to cause damage, and he is not easy to defend at all.So he immediately called a timeout, hoping to adjust the state of the Spanish substitute players.

After the timeout, Fernandez faced Sun Yue and made a breakthrough.

Fernandez's speed is very fast, covering his head and killing in, pointing directly at the basket.

Yang Di shouted and ran to block Fernandez. Fernandez didn't have a chance to take off early and wanted to pass the ball inside, but Yang Di destroyed the pass.

The path of the ball changed, but it was not blocked by the Chinese players. Instead, it fell into the hands of Sergio Rodriguez on the outside by mistake.

The 19-year-old Rodriguez is also a rising star in Spain. In this year's draft, he was selected by the Suns with the 27th pick in the first round, and then sent to the Portland Trail Blazers.

From the perspective of being favored by the NBA, Spain is indeed full of talents.

Rodriguez opened his hand from the outside and made a three-pointer, hit!
