NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 92
At the beginning of the second quarter, Chen Xiao still went into battle.

At this time, Varan, who was on the opposite side, had already left for a rest, and was replaced by a veteran with a simple and honest face, whose name was Sangaila.

An alumnus of Duncan, he just returned to his hometown after earning a total of more than 2000 Dabuliu from the NBA last year.

But according to the data and Chen Xiao's visual inspection, it might be as tall as a eyebrow.

Didn't say anything, it's over.

For two consecutive rounds, Chen Xiao threw left and right shots in the paint, made free throws by the way, and scored 5 points in a row with additional free throws.

It directly forced the Lithuanian coach to replace the veteran and replace him with an acquaintance of Chinese fans - Motel.

At this time, Motel was still a rookie. He was selected by the Timberwolves with the 20th overall pick last year and then traded to Mosaic. Domestic fans are still very concerned about Mosaic's rookie and are familiar with this rookie Motel.

But it worked. Motel, who had poor defensive awareness, turned around after Chen Xiao caught the ball and flew up.Watching Motel from bottom to top, from left to right, Chen Xiao easily made the basket.

"Sturdy footsteps, Chen Xiao swayed lightly, and Motel lifted up like a marionette. He stepped up and down for a layup and scored easily.

They are all rookies, and the gap between the No. 20 pick and the 5th pick is quite obvious, but Motel doesn't have to be discouraged, and his teammate Varan, who is the [-]th pick, didn't get the slightest advantage under Chen Xiao. "

In front of Motel, Chen Xiao succeeded in inviting God, and invited the star of Motel's team, Dameng Olajuwon, to show off his fantastic footsteps.

But then the Lithuanian perimeter group, without joking with the Chinese team, seized the defensive gap of Chen Jianghua and Wang Shipeng, and Karnetis threw two consecutive three-pointers, still clinging to the score.

With the Chinese team's lack of toughness and lack of coordination in the perimeter defense, Kaukenas and Carnetis, who have excellent skills and superb shooting skills, frequently shot three-pointers and returned three-pointers.

At the end of halftime, Lithuania has tied the score to 37.

During the half-time break, Deng Huade was still the same old way, passionate and patient, and gave the ball to Chen Xiao.

Giving the ball to the strongest person is not a tactic.

After all, the Chinese team is also used to playing like this, and Chen Xiao directly connected seamlessly.

After returning from halftime, Chen Xiao, who had played hard for 20 minutes without a break, recovered after a 15-minute break at halftime and continued to play.

At this time, Lithuania still chooses a combination of new and old insiders, with Varan topping Chen Xiao and Sangueira playing the fourth position.

Serving to Lithuania in the frontcourt, Jaskovicius, who has superb passing and control skills, played a pick-and-roll with veteran Sangueira.

There is nothing wrong with the choice, but in the face of an instant passing opportunity, Jascovicius, known as the "king of Europe", hits the ball, and the ball leader Sangueira catches the ball and completes a back basket. The veteran's awareness and handwork can still significantly help the team.

Looking back, Chen Xiao, who had recovered and had good physical strength, continued to ask for the ball in the low post.

Varan pushed up and down behind him, intending to make Chen Xiao feel uncomfortable to catch the ball.

Chen Xiao raised his lowered hand slightly, and immediately turned 180 degrees to throw Varan behind him, received a pass from the defender, and completed a point basket in the air.

As for why it is not a dunk, it can only be said that in order to ensure that it can be passed, it is more reliable to make a slightly deviated basketball.

In the next attack, Lithuania still wanted to play a pass. Although the pass was passed, Sangela, who seemed a little slippery on the screen, failed to catch the ball, and the ball flew straight into the hands of Chen Xiao on the side.

This added a steal to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao, who is self-aware, did not choose to throw the ball forward. He took a big stride and rushed towards the opposite basket or tried to throw a semi-long pass to win the game.

Instead, he handed it to the defender honestly, and moved forward by himself.

"Chen Xiao protects the ball. This choice is very correct. If he dribbles and passes the ball rashly, he may be counter-robbed by the opponent. Many centers have the heart of a point guard when they receive the ball on the court, but Chen Xiao is very stable and never makes rash moves." Yu Jia praised in real time.

That is to say, Yu Jia didn't know Plumlee, otherwise this sentence seemed to be tailor-made for Maple, the body of a center forward and the heart of a point guard, and he panicked after a bad luck.

Chen Xiao received the ball from a low position, raised the ball with his back to observe the situation, tilted his left foot a little, supported his right foot, and turned his back to wipe away Varan who was probing forward.

One step to join the ball, use the broad back to block the defenders who are already crowded behind, and make a layup with his right hand against the small player who wants to help defend and steal the ball.

"Beep" defensive foul, Chen Xiao added a penalty.

"The key to this ball is that when Chen Xiao tapped his left foot forward, it attracted the defender's center of gravity, so turning around was so easy." Yao Ming, a master of inside footsteps, played professionally and explained the subtleties to the audience.

After watching the ball, the audience, in a daze, Chen, who was wearing the white number 13, overlapped with Yao, who had the same number on his back as before.

This ball really needs to be dunked, and Chen Xiao can also dunk, but the inside line is not only for dunks, since he can layup easily and save some energy, it is better to layup.

After all, with the current game situation, Chen Xiao still needs to continue to work hard in the fourth quarter.

Slightly calm, he took the pass from the referee, finished the preparations before the free throw like muscle memory, and aimed at the basket for a shot.

Bang, the free throw missed slightly and was picked up by Valanciunas.

Jordan, who was also watching the game at this time, felt helpless in his heart. How can there be such a big difference between people? The postures are similar, but the result is a world of difference.

Unfortunately, the goal was only 2+0. It would be perfect if Chen Xiao's free throws were as good as Yao Ming's.At this time, many Chinese fans regretted their fantasy.

With a career free throw rate of 83.3%, Yao Ming can be said to be an alternative among centers. Few big men can match him in free throws.

In this game, Lithuania's strategy is to pick and roll, pull, shoot, and have the opportunity to pass and cut. It can be regarded as the national team's version of bombardment, and Chen Xiao is not given the opportunity to easily take root in the basket and protect the frame.

As for why you don't play zone defense in FIBA, you can't play easily. Facing Lithuania, which has excellent outside shooting skills, playing zone defense is good for protecting the frame, but the three-point rain may directly kill the game.

However, Chen Xiao's supplementary defense was still not lacking in bright spots. Relying on his movement speed, he completed a big cap from beyond the three-point line.

It's a pity that I couldn't get the ball back, and the ball is still on the opposite side.

On the last attack of the third quarter, Kleiza, who received the ball from the outside, got a good shot under the cover of Sangueira, pulled out, shot, and the basketball hit the net.

Lithuania scored 13 three-pointers in three quarters and scored 61 points in three quarters, leading the Chinese team by 4 points into the final quarter.

The Chinese team, which scored 57 points in three quarters, can't say they didn't try their best, but the outside defense and physical hidden dangers made the outside world take a pessimistic attitude towards the last quarter of the final bayonet fight.
