Chapter 263 Blockade Line

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the game started on time. The referee from the United Kingdom stood in the middle circle and threw up the orange basketball in his hand. Two huge figures rose into the air, one yellow and one black with two big hands reaching for the basketball at the same time. past.Greece's starting center, Bolossis, who is 2 meters tall, is still at a height disadvantage, so Yao Ming directly passed the ball to Yi Jianlian.

After getting the ball, Yi Jianlian didn't hesitate, and handed it to Xu Hao to let him advance quickly.Xu Hao was also not humble. Taking advantage of Greece's unstable foothold, he started to accelerate from near the center line, and he rushed all the way to the basket and succeeded in throwing shots. Looking at Xu Hao's figure, he was dumbfounded.

After stealing a ball from Greece, Xu Hao smiled and high-fived his big brothers, and then ran back to the top of the arc in his own half to prepare for defense.Greece was obviously not affected either. Others ran over to take their positions one after another. The insiders Bolosis and Shortsanidis fought hand-to-hand with Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian in the three-second zone, hoping to get a deeper position so that it would be convenient They get close to the basket.

It was Spanoulis who was responsible for controlling the ball. He obviously did not take Xu Hao seriously, even though the latter was the best rookie in the NBA this year, and he had just scored a goal while Greece was not yet firmly established.However, Spanoulis was experienced. Although he didn't think Xu Hao could pose any threat to him, he still subconsciously protected the basketball with his body.

Xu Hao didn't expect to be able to break the ball from the opponent's hands in his first defense. If he did, then Spanoulis would not be worthy of being called the king of Europe.Spanoulis didn't intend to drive the ball to the basket for a layup. After he and his backcourt partner Calathes fell down a few times, he regained the ball in an unexpected position in the left corner.

His behavior made Xu Hao frown. Under normal circumstances, the four corners of the half are the areas that the ball holder can't avoid, because holding the ball in this position is easy to get into double-teams, and it is difficult to break out of the encirclement. All ended in mistakes.Spanoulis actually chose to catch the ball again in this place. Could it be that he wanted to directly face the defense and force a three-pointer?
Soon Xu Hao realized that he was wrong. Spanoulis was also a bold man of high art. He forcibly pushed Xu Hao aside and went straight to the basket along the bottom line.Xu Hao was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Fortunately, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian on the inside responded in a timely manner and did not give Spanoulis a chance for a backhand layup.

After several Greek players passed the ball continuously from the outside, Borosis, who was finally pulled out, found a gap, and then received a pass from Calathes and hit a three-pointer. This is the team attack that Greek players are most accustomed to and good at style of play.

Xu Hao quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the goal was not scored by Spanoulis, otherwise he would be embarrassed...

The Chinese team served from the backcourt and still left it to Xu Hao to advance, but this time he couldn't just focus on scoring as he did in the first round.As the team's commander, he must distribute the ball to each teammate according to strength. It is almost impossible to have a blitz next time. It is difficult for the Greeks to make two consecutive mistakes in the same position.

This time Xu Hao chose to play pick and roll with Yi Jianlian.He has long found that playing pick-and-rolls with Yi Jianlian is much more comfortable than playing pick-and-rolls with Yao Ming, because Yi Jianlian's range can reach the three-point line, and Yao Ming is more suitable as a tough weapon at the basket.

After covering for Xu Hao, Yi Jianlian did not go down to attack the basket, but pulled out to make a shot.Bolosis was still hesitating. Xu Hao threw the ball to Yi Jianlian without hesitation, forcing Bolosis to move to a high position to defend. As a result, the basket was very empty. Strictly speaking, there was only Yao Ming and Shortsanidis are two people.

Yi Jianlian's eyes flashed, and he passed the ball back to the inside before Bolosis arrived. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming turned around and took advantage of his height to easily hit a mid-range shot on the head of Shortsanidis. The latter has no temper at all.

Under Xu Hao's tandem, the Chinese team's offense was in full swing, biting Greece tightly.But at the same time, Xu Hao did not forget the task assigned to him by the system. He must restrain Span on the defensive end, at least to maintain the first half.

Seeing that Greece has been unable to widen the point difference, their head coach Jonas is in a hurry. He shouted loudly on the sidelines to let Spanoulis take over the offense. If it is not necessary, he can not pass the ball to his teammates and do it alone with the ball That's it.

No one on the Chinese team knew what Yunus was talking about. Only Xu Hao, who had been staring at Spanoulis, felt a little strange. Soon he guessed that the opponent's coach must be asking Spann to strengthen his offense. Immediately, I felt a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, Sun Yue is still around, and Deng Huade made it clear before the game started that he wanted to defend Spanoulis to the maximum extent, which means that he can leave others open to a certain extent. Sun Yue naturally followed this rule.

Every time Spanoulis takes the ball, Xu Hao will appear in front of him like a shadow, and Sun Yue is cruising around, ready to double-team at any time.Originally, Spanoulis planned to rely on his own ability to get past Xu Hao, but after being almost robbed several times, he began to re-evaluate the young man's defensive ability in front of him, and became more vigilant about it.

Unknowingly, Xu Hao and Sun Yue formed an invisible blockade in front of Spanoulis. Both of them are players with excellent physical fitness. What's more, they can also help the opponent fill in the loopholes. Such a high-pressure defense makes Spanoulis very uncomfortable.

In his career, it seems that he only "enjoyed" such a defensive intensity in the NBA, but he thought about it, aren't these two in front of him NBA players?Needless to say, Xu Hao, the Timberwolves' starting point guard and perimeter core is also the team's second scorer.Although Sun Yue didn't play a few games in the NBA, he still won a championship ring with the Lakers after all, and he also played brilliantly against the Dream Team in the 2008 BJ Olympics.

The defense formed by these two people can indeed be said to be at the NBA level. After several difficult shots came back without success, Spanoulis subconsciously reduced the number of shots he took. He realized that he would not be able to get easy shots in this game. opportunity, especially that Xu Hao, he is as annoying as brown sugar, he can't be shaken off no matter how hard he is, it makes people speechless.

Spanoulis was unusually confused: what should he do to break the blockade against himself?
