NBA villain

Chapter 540 Dark Horse ([-])

Yang Di immediately looked at the Greek men's basketball team with admiration. At least when the little shark stood there, his arms and thighs were obviously thicker than him, which was particularly bluffing.

When playing against the U.S. team, the U.S. did not have a strong inside line, and the Greek Sharks still started.

Because of his movement speed, flexibility and technical characteristics, Shark can only be a center forward, just like Yao Ming, Yao Ming can only be a center forward.

Playing against the Chinese team, Yao Ming's height is 20 centimeters taller than Shark's, and his weight is slightly lower than that of Skesenitis.

So the head coach Ronitis put Seksenitis back on the bench, and Greece's starting lineup became what it was when they played other teams.

Defenders: Spanoulis, 1 meters, Papalokas, 92 meters.

Forwards: Kakiossis, 2 meters, Fortis, 04 meters.

Center: Papadopoulos, 2 meters 10.

In the starting lineup, in addition to Spann who just signed with the Rockets and shined in the US team in the semifinals, Papalokas is also a relatively well-known figure.

Papalokas is the soul of this Greek men's basketball team and the commander on the court. Compared with the aggressive Spann, Papalokas is better at passing the ball. He is the European Cup champion and MVP in 05 , Known as the king of Europe, known as the strongest point guard outside the NBA.

Sun Yue said that his idol is Papalokas. The 29-year-old Papalokas has a very practical way of playing and can always defuse the opponent's complex defensive formation lightly.

Yang Di told him, "You still don't want to learn from him. If you want to gain a foothold in the NBA, you might as well learn from Sean Battier, Bruce Bowen or James Posey. Although these players are not the team's commanders , but played a pivotal role in the team, and made a good name in the league."

The Chinese team started with Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, Yang Di, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming.

Since Yang Di has the ball, Jonas feels that he can completely suppress it with his height. This lineup is full of athleticism and has the advantage of misplaced shots.

After the simple warm-up, the starters of both sides stayed on the field, and the referee walked to the center line.

Yang Di twisted his neck and joints, still his favorite red jersey.

In the stands, fans wearing red jerseys of the Chinese team occupied a large area. Many fans tied the words "China will win" on their heads, and waved the national flag with poles in their hands, full of enthusiasm.

"There are more fans in Argentina than in the previous two days." Yang Di was very happy, explaining that he and the Chinese team had received more fans' support.

This is won back by virtue of his performance.

At 19:[-] p.m., the game started on time.

Yao Ming and Papadopoulos jumped the ball, Yao Ming touched the basketball first, picked the ball back to the half court, Yang Di received the ball, Wang Shipeng and Sun Yue moved forward.

Yang Di dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, without command, Yao Ming was already in the low post and asked for the ball.

Yang Di’s theory is correct. The Chinese team doesn’t need so many complicated tactics at all. If you dribble more and pass more, you will have more chances to make mistakes. It must be improved, but at least it will not give the opponent a chance to easily counterattack.

Yao Ming beat Papadopoulos inside, turned around with one step, turned around and shot a jumper.

Ever since he saw Yang Di become more and more proficient in turning over jump shots, and with this kind of easy scoring every time, Yao Ming has re-emphasized this skill. In the recent national team training, he kept reviewing this skill. On the one hand It saves physical strength. On the one hand, Yang Di is on the inside, so he no longer needs to do the rebounding work.

"Shh!"

The first ball was hit, and Papadopoulos looked helpless when he turned around and leaned back at a height of 2 meters.

There were thunderous cheers at the scene, and the fans immediately applauded and clamored. When they saw the Chinese team score, they felt as if they scored a goal by themselves. They felt the same and were very excited.

Greece attacks, Papacalos dribbles.

Papacalos organizes the offense in the frontcourt. Like Argentina and Lithuania, Greece also takes the overall route. The concept of basketball is to transfer the ball to someone who is open or has a better chance of attacking.

Papadopoulos came out to pick and roll Papadopoulos.

The moment he finished the pick-and-roll action, Papadopoulos went down to the basket, Papadopoulos passed the ball, and Dopoulos became open.

He hugged the basketball with both hands, Yang Di was the first to help defend, Span made an air cut and took Wang Shipeng away, and he shifted to the weak side at around 45 degrees.

When Sun Yue made a tip-up, Kagiosis got an open chance.

Kagiosis missed a three-pointer with a jumper.

Yang Di turned around, knocked everyone away like a wild beast, then jumped high above the heads of Span and the others, surpassed the basket and grabbed the rebound that bounced back.

"Crack!" With a slap, he clasped his hands heavily, and the sound spread throughout the Saitama Super Arena.

"Yang Di's rebounding is so handsome!"

"It's like Sakuragi Flower Road!"

"Yang Di is no better than Yingmuhuadao!"

Fans who like Yang Di like every movement of Yang Di on the court, even the way Yang Di and his teammates high-five have become something they are vying to imitate.

The Greek fans were a little disappointed. The Greek team actually didn't make an open shot. It's a pity that such a good opportunity was lost.

In the stands, the other six teams from the top eight came to watch the game. After all, after the game tonight, there will be an awards ceremony, and this session of the World Championships will also end tonight.

The camera still switched to the faces of the generals of the American Dream Team. All of them were very serious, with a sense of unwillingness and disappointment in their eyes. They looked at the two teams playing from a distance, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Yang Di pushed forward by himself, standing outside the three-point line with the ball.

He handed the ball to Sun Yue, then moved down low, and with Yao Ming, the duo set an off-ball screen for Wang Shipeng, who ran all the way from the baseline to 45 degrees to the left.

The effect of the off-ball screen was very good. Greece was forced to rotate defense. Papadopoulos who defended Yao Ming went to make up for Wang Shipeng, Fortis made up for Yao Ming, and Spanoulis could only defend against Yang Di.

Sun Yue immediately lobbed the ball in, and Span thought, if Yang Di received the ball in the low position, he must be unable to guard against it. It happened that Sun Yue was a little slow to wear the ball, so it was better to step forward and steal it.

He immediately jumped out at a risk. Yang Di glanced at the basketball and judged that the basketball might be broken by Span.

Immediately, he also took a step forward immediately, then jumped up in the air, and took the lead in catching the basketball.

Span rushed over his head, Yang Di turned around out of an unguarded space, dribbled the ball with both hands, flew vertically like a helicopter under the basket, and dunked with both hands, so that the basketball hoop was deformed downward.

Yang Di let go of his hand and fell to the ground. The ball rack shook irregularly, showing his terrifying strength casually.
