I'm really good at shooting.

It's just that he had no chance in the NBA at that time.

To be honest, he entered the NBA in the first round of 2000 in the same year as Sun Hao, and was selected by the Suns with the 25th overall pick.

In the first four years of his career, he was also the main rotation player, and his strength is not bad.

But in fact, the current star of this Greek team is neither Spanoulis nor Chakalidis, but Papalukas.

In the 06 World Championships, Greece defeated the US team, and three people were fired, Spanoulis, Shark, and Papa Lucas.

Known as "the strongest point guard outside the NBA", he sent 12 assists in that game!

In the fiba game, 12 assists were sent in the semi-finals of the World Championships. This concept can be understood from pure numbers.

In addition to them, there is another Sun Hao who is not very familiar, but also worthy of attention is Dimitris Diamantidis.

迪亚曼提蒂斯绰号“章鱼”、“3D”，身高1米96，臂展却达到恐怖的2米16！

It can be seen from his nickname that this is a player who is extremely good at defense and three-pointers. He has won the best defensive player in the Champions League 6 times in history.

He will also be Sun Hao's number one defender tonight.

Of course, that's not all of his abilities, and his assist ability is also very strong, from point guard to small forward.

The Greek team does not lack talent and strength, but only experience.

After the warm-up was over, both sides started to play one after another.

For the Chinese team, Harris made adjustments to the starting lineup.

After all, Hu Weidong is old, and his body reacted after the group stage.

Harris is also bold in employing people, and directly put the young player Zhu Fangyu into the starting lineup.

In this way, the Chinese team is Sun Hao, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

For Sun Hao, the familiarity of this lineup came up immediately.

In the 08 Olympic Games, known as the strongest men's basketball team in history, everyone except Sun Hao was in the starting lineup.

For the Greek team, Papalukas, Spanoulis, Diamantis, Chakalidis and the toolman center.

The familiar chest-thumping and punching roar, but this time the Greek fans are roaring for their home team.

Although the Chinese team performed well in the group stage, there is also Sun Hao.

But after all, the Chinese team is not a traditional strong team, and the record in the history of the Olympic Games is also very bad. The Greek team has a chance to fight.

Yi Jianlian jumped high and returned the ball to the Chinese team's half. Sun Hao advanced the ball to the frontcourt, and directly reached out to call Yi Jianlian to come out for a pick-and-roll.

The Greek team switched defenses, and Sun Hao faced Chakalidis, and after shaking directly, he retreated and made a long-range three-pointer.

"Shh!"

As soon as Sun Hao changed his style of play in the group stage, he attacked at the beginning, and he attacked!

In fact, in the group stage, he scored 31 points more in the stalemate in Spain, and he kept playing at other times.

Now that it's the knockout stage, there's no need to collect it anymore.

Taking the initiative to attack and forcing the Greek team to adjust their defense is obviously more beneficial to the Chinese team.

The Greek team hit the frontcourt and played high.

Like Yugoslavia, which the Chinese team played against in the World Championships, the Greek team also has a very tall average height.

Papa Lucas broke through Li Nan with the ball and passed the ball to Diamantidis.

The latter's three-pointer was interfered by Yi Jianlian, who switched defenses, and missed the basket.

Defense depends on both ability and enthusiasm. The Chinese team has a high level of victory in the group stage, and it is just the beginning of the game, and the defensive enthusiasm is the highest.

Sun Hao continued to pick and roll Yi Jianlian in the frontcourt, but this time Diamantis did not change.

Sun Hao seized the pick-and-roll gap and made a three-pointer before shooting, but he somewhat underestimated Diamantis's wingspan.

This "octopus" stretched out its claws to interfere with Sun Hao. Sun Hao's shooting mamba possessed him and smashed out of the frame.

but!

Yao Ming stuck his opponent at the basket, opened his hand to grab the offensive rebound, and when he leaned against his opponent, he hit a small hook.

5 is better than 0!

Although this is an away game, the Chinese team is not prepared to give the Greek team a chance!

Papa Lucas continued to break through Li Nan, but Li Nan couldn't defend himself.

However, Yi Jianlian's help defense was quick, and Papa Lucas scored again.

Chakalidis, who received the ball, attacked the basket and was slapped out of the field by Yao Ming!

After blocking the shot, Yao Ming waved his fist and roared towards the sidelines.

When it comes to the knockout round, it is not only Sun Hao who no longer retains his strength, but also Yao Ming!

The morale of the Greek team was somewhat frustrated.

Papa Lucas swayed Li Nan's three-pointer from the outside and also missed.

Yao Ming, grab another defensive rebound.

The Chinese team pushed the defensive counterattack.

The awareness of the Greek team is already very good, but Sun Hao is very fast.

Sun Hao rushed to the frontcourt. After seeing Diamantidis's pursuit, he passed a fake pass to Yi Jianlian who followed up.

After Yi Jian connected the ball, Dapeng spread his wings and smashed the ball hard to the basket with an iconic split dunk.

"Oh!"

7 is better than 0!

The Chinese team started like a rainbow!

The Greek fans at the scene were a little uncomfortable.

Shibie took three days to look at this Chinese team with admiration. It is really stupid to look at this Chinese team with the eyes of the past.

And none of the opponents this Chinese team defeated in the group stage was weak.

Diamantidis's three-pointer lost its accuracy, Papa Lucas's magic is no longer there, it is difficult for them tonight.

However, Greek fans will not give up on their national team.

When the Greek team advanced with the ball, many of them stood up, beat their chests, punched their fists, and roared!

Just like the 3D stereo surround sound, the whole arena is filled with the kind of sound that makes people excited.

The morale of the Greek team members has returned again!

Papa Lucas took a deep breath and continued to break through Li Nan.

This time, the weak side of the Greek team had more small cooperation without the ball.

Sun Hao should be very familiar with this.

Because when they played against Panathinaikos in the Champions League, the latter had a lot of such small cooperation.

Of course, this is not surprising at all, because the head coach of the Greek team was the head coach of the original Panathinaikos team, Yannakis!

Spanoulis received a pass from Papalucas and made a shot against Yi Jianlian who was on defense.

Although the cheers of the fans on the scene rekindled the fighting spirit of the Greek team, the Chinese team's defensive enthusiasm is still very high.

And Yi Jianlian's defensive movement is really good!

Spanoulis's ball was a bit difficult, and the ball barely passed Yi Jianlian's defense.

But his eyes were firm.

The ball whirled in the air and traced an arc.

"Shh!"

Basketball hit the net.

Spanoulis' three-pointer went in!

He broke the opening scoring drought of the Greek team!

There was loud cheers at the scene.

It was accompanied by the waving of many Greek flags.

This 22-year-old teenager has a big heart!

Returning to the defensive end, the Greek team's defensive enthusiasm has also come up.

With a wave of support from Yao Ming's high position, Li Nan's cut was interfered by Chacha Kalidis, and the rebound was also taken by the latter.

The Greek team played back a wave of fast breaks. After receiving the ball, Spanoulis got wind on his feet, crossed the Chinese team's defense and made a fast break layup to score another 2 points!

7 is better than 5!

Spanoulis scored 5 points in a row to help the Greek team catch up with the score!

Sun Hao played a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming in the frontcourt. After the split, he was more wary of Diamantis this time.

"Shh!"

Dove spokesperson!

9 is better than 5!

Papa Lucas continued to rush to the basket. This time he chose to make a strong attack, but was interfered by Yao Ming.

The basket guarded by the little giant is not so easy to break through!

The Chinese team switched offense and defense again, and Li Nan received a pass from Sun Hao and caused a foul to go to the free throw line.

Steady two free throws!

In this Olympic Games in history, the Chinese team made it to the top 8 by virtue of the lore of Serbia and Montenegro in the group stage.

Li Nan was fouled at the last moment of that game, and despite the interference, he also made two free throws steadily.

This is the characteristic of Chinese players in this era. Maybe the ball control will be worse, but the basic skills of shooting and free throws are very stable.

11 is better than 5!

Spanoulis' performance of scoring 5 points in a row is amazing, but it is obvious that the Chinese team is stronger!

Papa Lucas took the ball to the frontcourt again, this time he gave the ball to Spanoulis.

He has realized that his state is not very good tonight, so it is better to give the ball to Spanoulis who is in better state.

Spanoulis glanced at Sun Hao, did not choose to rush, but greeted Chakalidis' high pick-and-roll.

At this time, there was a small detail on the field.

Spanoulis didn't stand still when he called the pick-and-roll, but was already moving with the ball.

He knew that Sun Hao had a strong ability to bypass the pick-and-roll, so he took the initiative to lean on the pick-and-roll.

It is this kind of initiative that makes him look very agile.

He accelerated to cut to the basket, turned his head to look at the deceptive action of the bottom corner, and immediately "lyed down" after jumping from a short distance to avoid Yao Ming's blocked back throw to hit the board.

"boom!"

After the ball passed Yao Ming's defense, it rebounded and fell into the net bag!

Spanoulis scored his 7th point of the quarter!And all 7 points of the Greek team!

The Greek fans at the scene have exploded.

After Papa Lucas, they saw the hope of basketball again!

And this hope is only 22 years old!

Sun Hao also took another look at this future "European Kobe" at this time.

Well, it is said that it is Kobe in Europe, but this is actually a misrepresentation.

Because Spanoulis' nickname in Europe is "Kill Bill", the English is "kill.bill", and the abbreviation is kb.

Passed on, this became the European Kobe.
