Chapter 474: It's All Because of Zhang Guan

The Greek team replaced Papalukas with Diamantidis.

Diamantidis is also a very good athlete, not inferior to Papa Lucas. He has been elected as the best defensive player in Europe for five consecutive seasons, and in 2007 won the title of Mr. European Basketball. Wang, the best point guard of the first team, the best defensive player and the players with five regular season MVP awards are no less than Papalucas in terms of achievements.

Diamantidis is 28 years old this year and is three years younger than Papa Lucas. With a height of 198 cm, he, like Papa Lucas, can also play the three positions of point guard, shooting guard and small forward. And his 100 kg weight is 8 kg heavier than Papa Lucas's 92 kg, so he is much stronger than Papa Lucas in defense and physical confrontation. Even in the face of strong black players in the United States, Dia Mantidis will not suffer either.

In terms of playing style, Diamantidis is completely different from Papa Lucas. Papa Lucas has a strong scoring ability, but he likes to pass the ball very much. He has always been praised as the best organizer in Europe ; and Diamantidis has a strong assist ability, but he likes to score. Comparing the two, Papa Lucas is more like a traditional European point guard who focuses on passing, while Diamantidis is more like an American point guard who is good at scoring.

In the Greek team, Papalukas and Diamantidis seldom appear on the court at the same time, because both of them are the kind of players who need to hold the ball. If two people are on the court at the same time, the ball The distribution of power will be a big problem.

Yannakis replaced Diamantidis at this time, obviously targeting Zhang Guan, and also hoped that Diamantidis could contribute to the team's offense.

...

The game restarted, the ball was just knocked out of bounds by Zhang Guan, so the Greek team served again from the sideline, but at this time the time left for the Greek team to attack was running out, and there were still eight seconds left in this attack.

After Diamantidis got the ball, he dribbled through without hesitation. As soon as he broke through to one and a half steps inside the three-point line, Diamantidis made an emergency stop jumper, facing Zhang Guan's shot. The defense throws the ball.

"Whoosh!" The basketball crossed an arc and went straight into the frame.

"I really dare to shoot this ball! And I made it. This Diamantidis' offense is really sharp." Zhang Guan started to move forward while dribbling the ball while thinking.

However, what Zhang Guan didn't expect was that Diamantidis had already greeted him face-to-face before halftime.

"This Diamantidis underestimates me too much!" Zhang Guan snorted coldly in his heart, and then dribbled the ball under his crotch to make a breakthrough, while Diamantidis still used his body to forcibly hold Zhang Guan, Let Zhang Guan only move forward along the sideline.

It has to be said that Diamantidis's defense is tougher than Papa Lucas'. Diamantidis seems to be very confident in his physical confrontation ability, and dares to fight Zhang Guan physically. confrontation.

What makes Zhang Guan even more annoyed is that Diamantidis has many small moves in his defense. Although Zhang Guan knows that such small moves are also part of basketball defense, but when he encounters various small moves in reality, let Zhang Guan The crown has some discomfort.

Finally, Zhang Guan was aroused by this small action. He waved his hand at Da Da, who was guarding the inside line. Da Da understood immediately and moved to a position outside the three-point line.

Enough positions have been vacated inside, and Zhang Guan is obviously preparing to break through Diamantidis one-on-one.

"Want to break through me one-on-one?" Diamantidis raised his lips, showing a provocative smile. Obviously Diamantidis is very informative about his defense.

Suddenly, Zhang Guan started suddenly, while Diamantidis raised his arms high, trying to block Zhang Guan's progress as much as possible.

Diamantidis's defense is really good, and he is also strong enough. His high-intensity defense can be stopped even by ordinary black players, but it is even more difficult for yellow players to break through Diamantidis' defense completed the layup.

However, this time Diamantidis was facing Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan did not use any tricks, but relied purely on his body to complete the breakthrough.

I saw Diamantidis go up to meet him, and then was abruptly pushed away by Zhang Guan, and then Zhang Guan's figure shook, and he had already appeared under the Greek team's basket, facing the Greek team's defender directly on the basket A reverse basket.

"Zhang Guan, break through, layup, the goal is in! The goal was beautiful, and neither of the Greek team's two defensive players was able to prevent Zhang Guan from scoring this goal!"

Accompanied by the commentator's voice, Diamantidis looked surprised. He never expected that he would suffer a disadvantage in the physical confrontation. The next ball Diamantidis decided to fight back, but Zhang Guan sent the same tough defense. Diamantidis had no choice but to pass the ball. In the end, other players of the Greek team completed the attack, but the ball was not scored, and the Chinese team took off the defensive rebound.

The ball was passed to Zhang Guan in the first time. Zhang Guan played a quick offensive and defensive transition with the ball. It was still a sharp breakthrough. He resisted Diamantidis' defense and scored two more points.

The Greek team returned a three-pointer, and in the next attack, Zhang Guan single-handedly broke through with the ball. A difficult layup action became a two-plus-one. In the subsequent penalty, Zhang Guan's The luck was also very good. Although the ball was a little shorter, it finally bounced into the basket after two bounces.

Coach Yannakis frowned again. He had already announced that even Diamantidis could hardly guard against Zhang Guan.

"The key is speed, Zhang Guan's speed is too fast, Diamantidis can't keep up with him at all!"

At this time, Dayao had already rested, the height of the Chinese team dropped, but the speed increased, especially the touch of the outside players has been maintained very good, and they have been able to maintain a relatively stable scoring state.

On the other hand, the Greek team has not been playing very smoothly, and their best coordination has not been played out. Although the Greek team is also scoring non-stop, but the advantage of the opening 10 points, but has not narrowed.

The strongest point of the Greek team is their point guard. Papalukas and Diamantidis are both the strongest in Europe, and the weakest part of the Chinese team in the past is the point guard. So When the Greek team faced the Chinese team before, it always seemed to be more than capable. But in today's game, Zhang Guan successfully restricted the point guard of the Greek team, and the offensive level of the Greek team was greatly reduced.

As Diamantidis made a long-distance three-pointer from the backcourt and flew towards the auditorium, the sound of the end of the first quarter sounded, and the Chinese team temporarily led by 8 points 26 to 18.

Looking at the score, Coach Yannakis sighed helplessly. Before the game, he even boasted that the Chinese team should not score 30 points in the first half and lead the Chinese team by 15 to 20 points. Now it seems that the two The goal is impossible to complete. The Chinese team scored 26 points in the first quarter, one step away from 30 points. Instead of leading the Chinese team, the Greek team was led by the Chinese team by 8 points.

"Damn, how could this happen! When did the Chinese team become so strong! The Chinese team was so vulnerable two years ago, but now the Chinese team makes me unable to find a way to deal with it." Yannaki Si looked at the rest area of ​​the Chinese team and happened to see Zhang Guanzheng taking the water bottle handed over by the coach with a smile on his face.

"By the way, it's Zhang Guan! It's all because of Zhang Guan that we are so passive! You, a track and field athlete, can't run well, why are you here to play basketball!" Yannakis thought angrily.

The first chapter is delivered, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
