Chapter 156: Hot Pot Feast

At 7pm on October 31st, the last game of the Chinese team’s rematch against Lithuania is about to begin.

The Chinese team is currently the only undefeated team, while Lithuania has two wins and three losses, losing to Korea, Argentina and the United States respectively. The two wins were both underdogs. The record difference between the two sides is huge, so the outside world

They are unanimously optimistic that the Chinese team will win easily.

But Zhou Tao doesn't think so. He knows that Lithuania is a basketball powerhouse with a profound basketball heritage. The reason why the results in the previous few games were not good is that they underestimated the enemy. For example, the loss to Goryeo was caused by being too relaxed. In addition,

Korea's three-pointers were so accurate that they actually made 18 three-pointers, and finally beat Lithuania by 2 points.

The second is that the opponents are too strong. Argentina and the United States are both traditional basketball powers with strong strength. Lithuania fought with them until the end, but both lost by single-digit points. Therefore, their strength cannot be underestimated.

However, in this game, Jonny miraculously recovered after being treated by Zhou Tao. This result amazed the team doctor and said that he wanted to take Zhou Tao as his teacher.

China's starting lineup was still the same as before, so I won't introduce them one by one here. After the two sides jumped the ball, Jonny still won the ball strongly. Zhou Tao successfully got the ball, dodged the defense of Lithuanian point guard Papaliukas, and quickly

Advance the frontcourt

Reaching one step away from the three-point line, Zhou Tao jumped up and shot without any warning. Papaliukas, who was chasing behind him, was unprepared and bumped into him. The referee's whistle immediately sounded, and the ball in Zhou Tao's hand also

Flying towards the basket, "Whoosh!" and it hit the net, 3+1!

"Wow! Zhou Tao is so awesome. He has seized this opportunity so well. Compared with him, Lithuania's point guards are still too young and are no match for him," said the commentator of Roma Sports Station

Due to the strong performance of the Chinese team and Zhou Tao, Roma Sports Channel also broadcast this game live, which is rare in youth competitions.

Zhou Tao made extra free throws. According to statistics, Zhou Tao had a total of 70 free throw opportunities in the previous five games. What is unbelievable is that he actually made all of them!

However, Lithuania is worthy of being a strong European basketball team and immediately launched a counterattack. After a series of passes, small forward Lucedes fired from the corner and hit a three-pointer to seal the score.

It is indeed a strong team with high tactical literacy! Zhou Tao secretly praised him while carrying the ball while observing the movements of his teammates. Lithuania's defense was watertight and there was no chance inside. Their center Sarius was a strong man with a huge tonnage.

Jonny couldn't get the upper hand in the fight for position and was pushed out by the opponent.

It seemed that there was only a pick-and-roll. Zhou Tao signaled Jonny to come out and block Papaliukas. Lithuania immediately changed defense, causing a mismatch. Zhou Tao faced Salius's cover defense and saw that his teammates were all separated.

, there was an open space under the basket, and he immediately used fake moves to continuously shake, and then passed the opponent with a lunge and rushed to the basket. It was a good opportunity and no one was on guard!

Zhou Tao immediately took off, preparing to dunk. Zaryusu behind him could allow him to be bold, and a huge slap came from behind. Zhou Tao smiled slyly, leaned his back on him, twisted in the air, and changed hands from

Pull the rod at the other end and the ball hits the net!

At the same time, Zaryusi's hand also hit Zhou Tao's shoulder. The referee saw it accurately and the whistle sounded immediately. Zhou Tao once again got the opportunity to add a penalty.

"Zhou Tao is so efficient. He scored points in both attacks and made the opponent suffer two fouls. I don't know how to describe him!" The host of Roma Sports Station was full of praise for Zhou Tao.

After more than a dozen rounds, both sides had good shooting percentages at the beginning. Lithuania's three-pointers were quite accurate, throwing in four, while China's side, initiated by Zhou Tao, also flourished. In half a quarter, the two sides were tied at 18.

Than 15, China is temporarily ahead

The Huaxia team took the lead in making adjustments, replacing Sun Fengwen with Du Hanlin and Liang Xiaobo with Zhang Xiaopeng to strengthen the opponent's outside defense and prevent them from taking too many three-pointers.

This trick really worked. Lithuania tried to use three-pointers to score several times, but was blocked by the Chinese team. It also allowed China to take the opportunity to play a fast break. An 8-0 spurt widened the point difference to 11.

point

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lithuania's coach Kananus quickly called a timeout and replaced him with two tall forwards to attack from the inside.

This substitution played a certain role. Lithuania succeeded in two consecutive inside attacks, but they could not prevent the Chinese team's offense and the score did not narrow at all.

Lithuania once again tried to attack from the inside, but Jonny was scored by them twice. He had already become concerned and concentrated on holding the position. The opponent's center had no choice but to pass the ball back. Zhou Tao seemed to have known his intention and suddenly started to move.

, broke out from the center, intercepted the ball, and immediately launched a counterattack

Gao Ming had the best understanding with him. The moment he stole the ball, he started quickly. Zhou Tao immediately made a long pass. Gao Ming jumped high and completed an alley-oop very gracefully.

In the next wave of offensive, Lithuania "remained obsessed" and still wanted to score through the inside. Papaliukas and the center made a "fake pick-and-roll", taking advantage of the opportunity of misplaced defense, center Kamolis received the ball inside and faced

Zhou Tao, who was more than thirty centimeters shorter than him, turned around and threw himself in without hesitation.

Zhou Tao jumped high, like playing volleyball in the air, and slapped the ball towards the center line with one palm. The ball fell into the hands of the Lithuanian player, and he immediately passed the ball in. Kamolis had just been blocked, and he felt extremely depressed. Seeing

When I get another chance, I hold the ball in both hands and dunk it without even thinking about it!

Behind him was still Zhou Tao, who was allowed to be arrogant. He continued to hit the basketball with his palm. The ball fell straight to the ground and hit Camolis's hand again. He opened his eyes angrily and shouted: "

Hey!" Use all your strength to bounce up, vowing to smash the ball in!

Who would have thought that Zhou Tao was too determined to treat him to hot pot tonight, so he continued to block the shot with a slap. It was no coincidence that the ball continued to fall into Camolis's hands. He was about to explode with rage after being humiliated continuously.

If you don’t believe in evil, you will jump up and dunk again. Will it be successful this time?

The answer is no! Zhou Tao seemed to have infinite strength, and his bullet speed was extremely fast. He used his "Powerful Vajra Palm" again in the air and blocked the ball hard!

The ball fell back into Camolis' hands dramatically again. There were still three seconds left in the attack time. He took a deep breath, squatted down slightly, and then pulled up with all his strength. He didn't believe Zhou Tao.

It can still be covered!

Zhou Tao felt funny in his heart. This big bear with well-developed limbs is so persistent. Does he think that he is the best shot blocker in the tournament? Since you insist on delivering food, how can I bear to refuse!

He no longer blocked shots with one hand, but used both hands to snatch the ball from Camolis in the air. After landing, Gao Ming, who was well prepared, had already run to the frontcourt, and Zhou Tao passed the ball like a missile.

Throughout the game, Gao Ming took off from the free throw line and made a stunning 361-degree turn and dunk, which brought this perfect defensive counterattack to an end.

Five consecutive blocks were still blocking the same person. Zhou Tao's feat simply made everyone watching the game crazy. Moreover, he was only 1.8 meters tall, and the height of Camolis he blocked was 2

Mi 13, with a gap of more than 30 centimeters, he was able to block five shots in a row. It is unbelievable to say that.

Kamolis sat on the ground, his face dull, it was so embarrassing! His only thought now was that it would be great if there was a hole on the golf course, so that he could get in, and there would be no need to stay here and be embarrassed.

Show your eyes!

The Chinese fans on the sidelines got high and cheered crazily: "Great strategy, great strategy, only China! Great strategy, great strategy, only China..."

Murong Xiu and Evani looked at their lovers with stars in their eyes, their deep love clearly revealed.

Canaeus was experienced and knew that Camolis had completely lost confidence at this time, so he immediately replaced him and replaced him with starting center Jasco Hughes

However, the morale of the Chinese players was high at this time. No matter how Lithuania defended, the ball could always be scored. On defense, they also put a lot of pressure on Lithuania, and the score became bigger and bigger.

The first quarter ended quickly. The Chinese team led by a big score of 38 to 20. Zhou Tao's performance was still amazing, with 18 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. The most eye-catching thing was of course the blocks. Counting those five consecutive blocks, he

I actually covered 8 in one section!

Cannus looked solemn. His team was completely beaten to death by Zhou Tao alone. The offense was completely controlled by him, and his own side could not guard against him at all, resulting in a situation where he fell behind and was beaten.

No matter what, I had to let go of the others for a while, double or even triple teaming Zhou Tao, just bet that the other Chinese players would not be allowed

In the second quarter, Zhou Tao rested as usual, with Guo Lun as the point guard and leading a group of substitutes. After several games of training, these boys have fully grown up. They are very confident, dare to make moves, and are quite skilled in cooperation. They are very similar to Lithuania's

The main selection is no less impressive.

When Zhou Tao spoke up again, the score was 53 to 37. China's substitute only lost 2 points to the opponent, which was considered to have completed the task.

As soon as Zhou Tao came on the field, he immediately found that two people from the opponent were following him, not leaving even an inch. He secretly laughed in his heart, thinking this would prevent us from scoring?

He was too lazy to run, so he took the two people on the outside and shouted to Gao Ming, who was holding the ball: "Hit inside, they are double-teaming me now, hit them more and less, pass them to death!"

Gao Ming understood and immediately took the ball and broke through. The opponent's center came up here and wanted to stop him. Gao Ming immediately passed the ball. The ball reached Sun Fengwen on the free throw line. When he saw someone covering the defense, he immediately moved and handed the ball to

Zhang Xiaopeng broke in from the weak side. Zhang Xiaopeng received the ball and went straight for a three-step layup. That side was completely empty. He easily won 2 points.

Lithuania insisted on double-teaming Zhou Tao, which gave Zhou Tao little chance to score. However, he attracted at least two players from the opponent, giving his side always opportunities to shoot open shots, and most of these opportunities turned into goals.

Cannaus had no choice but to give up the tactic of double-teaming Zhou Tao. This move failed too much. The opponent's role players made every shot accurately, and even double-teaming made the defeat even worse.

However, Zhou Tao immediately showed his power again, with three-pointers and assists, which messed up Lithuania's backcourt, and the point difference remained stable and increased.

In this way, in the helpless eyes of the Lithuanian players, the first half was over. They finally breathed a sigh of relief and could temporarily not be tortured by Zhou Tao.

Throughout the first half, the Huaxia team was in full bloom, with three people scoring in double figures. Zhou Tao scored 30 points, plus 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and also blocked 10 shots. The worst thing was the steals, with "only" 6.
