Chapter 166 Spain!
After spending an unforgettable night with Evani, Zhou Tao helped Tony undergo another treatment early the next morning, then said goodbye to them one by one, and Evani drove him back to Rome.
And then Tony will come to Rome. After all, although the two places are not far apart, Zhou Tao has competition tasks, which always makes it difficult for him to run in both directions, so Tony simply comes to Rome to facilitate treatment.
As soon as he entered the hotel, he met the quirky Shi Fei. When he saw Zhou Tao and the other two, he immediately ran over and said, "Boss, where did you and your sister-in-law go to have fun? Look at the happiness on my sister-in-law's face, is that the one?"
A yin dang smile appeared on his face and he said to Zhou Tao
"Get out of here! You bastard, do you deserve a beating?" Zhou Tao scolded with a smile and kicked him away.
Shi Fei covered his butt with a "sad" look on his face: "Boss, you are a typical example of someone who forgets his friends when he sees sex! Sister-in-law, you have to make the decision for me. Boss bullies me!"
Although Evani didn't understand their conversation just now, she knew from her expression that they must be making fun of her. She blushed and said to Zhou Tao: "You guys chat, I'm leaving first! I have to meet with the director today to prepare for the next film.
drama work”
Zhou Tao smiled and said: "Okay, go and get busy. If you need anything, call me!"
After bidding farewell to Evani, Zhou Tao asked Shi Fei: "Have you finished the morning training?"
Shi Fei nodded and said: "I just came back from training for a while, and I just came out of the shower."
"Okay, let's go, let's watch the video and study our opponents!" Zhou Tao said, holding Shi Fei's hand.
Soon, two days passed, and finally it was the day of the semi-finals of this World Youth Championship. The dark horse Chinese team played against the European powerhouse Spain in the first game. It was definitely a strong clash.
Spain defeated Argentina in the quarter-finals and was in full swing. Before the game, they publicly claimed to end the Chinese team's dark horse journey, especially their star point guard Rudy Torres Doss, who was very impressed by Zhou Tao's achievements.
It’s very cool. He said that the reason why Huaxia was able to get through all the way before was mainly because his opponents didn’t pay enough attention to him, and his poor defense made Huaxia become a dark horse.
He told the media that in this game, Spain will use traditional basketball to defeat China's individual heroic basketball, and the inside line will plunge China's offense and defense into "despair"!
However, he was quite smart and did not challenge Zhou Tao directly. Instead, he used the strength of the team to speak for himself. I believe he saw how those who challenged Zhou Tao before ended miserably. Otherwise, based on his personality, he would definitely
Issued declarations such as "limit the number of points Zhou Tao scores, no more than a few assists"
Tonight, China Sports Station finally obtained the broadcasting rights and broadcast the National Youth Team's game live for the first time. Domestic fans finally no longer have to watch the video live broadcast that freezes from time to time. At one o'clock in the morning, all those who love China basketball and Zhou Tao
People are all sitting neatly around the TV, waiting for the game to start
"Dear viewers, the exciting semi-finals of the World Youth Championship are about to begin. In response to the requests of the audience, CCTV has finally obtained the broadcasting rights after many efforts. Like everyone, I am very excited!" CCTV host
Yu Jia appeared in front of everyone, with his old partner Teacher Su sitting next to him.
"Yes, we finally got a superstar. This is an epoch-making superstar. His role is even greater than that of Yao Yao, because he is more comprehensive. In the words of the fans, he is all-around.
God! From the information we learned, Zhou Tao was able to score terrifying super five-double data in every game he participated in. This is a myth we have never heard of! Tonight, we are honored to witness Zhou Tao with everyone.
It’s a masterpiece that makes history. To be honest, I’m really excited!” Teacher Su said, with a rare expression of excitement on his face.
"Next, let's take a look at the lineups of both sides. For the Huaxia team, point guard Zhou Tao is taking the lead. The shooting guard is Zhang Xiaopeng from Liao Province. The small forward is Gao Ming from G Province like Zhou Tao. The power forward is
Sun Fengwen from Jiangsu Province and Jonny from the High School Affiliated to Huaqiao University will serve as the center. This lineup is basically the consistent starting lineup of the Huaxia team and is also the strongest combination. Among them, Jonny's role in the center position tonight is particularly important.
Because Spain's inside line is also quite sharp. From another level, the performance of the inside line may play a decisive role in this game. You can't always expect Zhou Tao to take care of both inside and outside the whole game, otherwise even an iron man will be exhausted.
Yes!" Yu Jia said gushingly
"For Spain, the point guard is Rudy Torres Doss, the shooting guard is Paulo Fernandez, the small forward is Luis Garcia who is 2.06 meters tall, the power forward is Jose Mari, and the center is the defensive monster David
"Ista" Yu Jia finished the Spanish lineup in one breath
At the beginning of the game, two madmen, Jonny and Ista, jumped the ball. Jonny was at a disadvantage in terms of height, but his bounce was better. They both caught the ball in the air. The basketball was shot to the sideline. No one on either side stood in the same position.
, the ball is about to fly out of the sideline.
Wait a minute! A figure rushed out like lightning, grabbed the ball just as the basketball was about to go out, and quickly rushed towards the frontcourt of the Chinese team!
It was Zhou Tao. His high-speed advancement caught the Spanish players off guard. Luis Garcia, who was guarding the back, barely rushed back before Zhou Tao stepped into the three-second zone, trying to block his attack.
When Zhou Tao starts to activate, is there anyone on this planet who can stop him? The answer is of course no. Back then, even the center of the US team Wilson Curry became a powerful figure in front of Zhou Tao.
The background king, not to mention Garcia, who is still a level below Curry!
I saw Zhou Tao kicking off his feet before Garcia could gain a firm foothold. The momentum made Garcia shiver, and he subconsciously ducked back. Zhou Tao's knees were already pressing against his.
On his shoulders, his take-off height was astonishing. With a "bang" sound, the basket was shaken by the dunk. Zhou Tao completed a shocking dunk. At the same time, the whistle sounded, and one!
Garcia shook his head and smiled bitterly. Before he fought with Zhou Tao, he had no idea how terrifying Zhou Tao was. The aura just now was not that of a born emperor. It was intimidating!
"Wow! From the very beginning, Zhou Tao showed his superhuman speed and terrifying height in the air. This unstoppable dunk made LeBron James, the so-called little emperor, dwarfed by him! I am very concerned about a question now.
What I'm interested in is, if Zhou Tao chooses to participate in the NBA draft next summer, what will it be like for him to face James?" Yu Jia said to Teacher Su next to him.
"I completely agree with Yu Jia's statement. I think Zhou Tao's physical fitness is not inferior to that of James, especially his confrontation ability, which is completely beyond people's imagination!" Teacher Su said with a smile.
At the beginning, the Chinese team took the lead to break the deadlock with 3-0. Looking back, Spain did not show weakness. Although Torres Doss spoke arrogantly, he did have skills in his hands. He used his teammates' pick-and-roll to bypass Zhou Tao and made a weird pass to the ground.
, the ball passed through the gap between people, and Ista, who was under the basket, caught the ball and dunked hard. Johnny could only watch helplessly, without any solution.
"It's okay, let's compete with them and see who is more accurate! I will pass a few good balls to you in a while, and I will let you return a few to him!" Zhou Tao comforted Johnny and said
Zhou Tao did what he said, taking the ball and breaking through Spain's entire defense line. When facing Ista's block, he made a beautiful pass without looking behind his head. Jonny received the ball comfortably and roared.
He poured it into the basket hard!
"Beautiful!" Zhou Tao and Qiao Ni high-fived each other, "Keep working hard and defend well!"
Torres Doss slowly dribbled the ball across the center line. Zhou Tao's ball just now hurt his self-esteem, but he actually passed him easily. It was really a bit depressing, so he decided to return the ball.
Dribbling, turning, and changing direction, Doss made several moves in succession, trying to get rid of Zhou Tao's defense. However, his strength and speed were at a disadvantage. Zhou Tao's judgment on defense was extremely accurate, and he was always blocked.
in front of
Doss gritted his teeth and fought hard! He didn't want to be suppressed by Zhou Tao, so he took advantage of his height and forced a jump shot. Zhou Tao's eyes swept away, as if there were springs under his feet. The moment Doss took the shot, he slapped him
He swatted the ball and then, under Doss's stunned gaze, he quickly started to control the ball, show time! An extremely shocking 360-degree turn and dunk, completing this fast break.
Doss was a little frustrated. He didn't expect Zhou Tao to be so powerful. He really underestimated him.
"Doss, don't be discouraged. If we cooperate more, they are not invincible!" Fernandez came over and said to him.
Doss nodded. He is not a reckless person. He always puts the interests of the team first. Now that he knows that Zhou Tao cannot be dealt with by himself, then, use team basketball to defeat him!
As a result, the audience finally saw the power of Spain. Under Doss's gorgeous passing, Spain kept having vacancies, and their pitchers lived up to their expectations, with a high hit rate and rising scores.
But how could the Chinese team show weakness? Under the organization of Zhou Tao, a great point guard, the offense was vigorous and fruitful everywhere.
The two sides played a very entertaining game, which was a feast for the eyes of the spectators on the sidelines. They cheered constantly. Even the fans of both sides could not help but be impressed by the wonderful performance of the other side.
After the first quarter, the two sides played a high score. In the end, China took the lead slightly, leading 38 to 35.
The point guards of both sides became the key on the court. Needless to say, Zhou Tao scored 18 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks each; while Doss did not score much, only scoring 5 points, but
Assists reached 8 times, one more than Zhou Tao, which is really surprising
"I really didn't expect that this Spanish point guard has shown such a high level. In terms of assist ability, it seems that he is not inferior to Zhou Tao at the moment. Moreover, his techniques are changeable, his passing lines are weird, and it is very entertaining. His future development is boundless.
There is a limit!" CCTV's Yu Jia said with emotion
"Yeah, if Torres Dos hadn't organized it so well, Spain would have been eliminated a long time ago. But having said that, it makes the game more enjoyable to watch, and it won't enter garbage time early, and it can also inspire the Chinese team.
Chapter completed!
