Chapter 362: Needle Point Against Wheat Awn
Dayao and Marc Gasol stood in the center circle. The game started. The referee threw the ball and they both jumped up. The first goal in the opening game is very important. If you grab it, it will increase your morale.
Dayao, who had an absolute advantage in height, did not let the opportunity slip away from his hands. He came first and slapped the ball to Zhou Tao. Calderon wanted to steal it, but Zhou Tao was so fast that he took a step out like a ghost.
, grab the ball into your hands
Then, Zhou Tao immediately turned around and dribbled extremely quickly, avoiding Calderon, and rushed forward with full power. In the frontcourt, the opponent only had Navarro, and he was still a few meters away.
What a great opportunity! Zhou Tao strode forward, and Navarro rushed over to him. Unfortunately, Zhou Tao's speed was so fast that he could only watch the ball and sigh.
A dunk without any fancy, but it showed another kind of terror of Zhou Tao. He actually jumped from the free throw line, and before dunking, his shoulders were flat with the basket, forcing him to wait for his whereabouts.
He dunked at one o'clock, what a terrifying bounce it was!
Without any celebration, Zhou Tao ran back with his head sullen. The opponent was a formidable enemy and the attacker was unkind. He could not relax at all.
Sure enough, the Spanish team attacked quickly. After the last match, Calderon knew Zhou Tao's terror well, so he did not stick to the ball too much and carefully hoisted the ball into the inside line. Pau Gasol
Come and fight
To be honest, Pau Gasol is above Yi in terms of strength and experience. In the NBA, he is the top five power forward. In FIBA, he is the well-deserved number one power forward.
Xiaoyi, I can’t be ranked yet
Pau Gasol held the ball and gently leaned against Xiao Yi with his back, using the touch of his back to judge the focus of the opponent's defense. Then, he quickly made a fake move to turn left, deceiving Xiao Yi.
The center of gravity shifted. Gasol immediately turned right and dribbled the ball very quickly, took a slight step, avoided Xiao Yi's block, and made a one-handed split dunk, scoring 2 points.
"It's okay, just relax and hit!" Zhou Tao said softly, picked up the ball and slowly moved it over. This is a positional battle, there is no need to rush too hard.
Calderon defended carefully. He did not dare to push too hard. Countless losses gave him a memory. Against Zhou Tao, pressing and defending was useless. His starting speed was too fast and he only needed a change of direction.
, which can make the close defender lose his position.
Zhou Tao smiled slightly. He did not attack hard. Although he was confident of overcoming the opponent, as he said, basketball is a sport for five people. It is impossible for him to win the game by himself. He also needs his teammates.
cooperation and help
After a few dribbles, he saw the right moment and lobbed the ball in. Dayao just grabbed a good position. After receiving the ball, he turned around and made a small hook. Marc Gasol was unable to block the shot. The basketball was very obedient.
The ground fell into the net, and the Chinese team continued to maintain the lead.
In the two attacks, Zhou Tao adopted different control methods. When he had an opportunity, he would never let it go; when the opportunity was not very good, he would never force it, but mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates to complete the task.
However, the Spanish team is not easy to bully. They quickly found an opportunity. Facing Sun Le's close defense, Navarro did not blindly play in singles. He used the pick-and-roll cooperation with Gasol to avoid the defender.
, took two steps forward, and before Dayao rushed to block the shot, he made a classic little throw. The basketball bypassed Dayao's fingertips and fell into the net.
"What a great shot. It is indeed a 'bomb'. Although I look a lot fatter than four years ago, my power is still the same. This throw is still so invincible and intimidating!" Yu Jia exclaimed.
Indeed, Navarro's skills are still profound and he is becoming more and more proficient in various techniques. Facing Sun Le, he still has a certain advantage.
The offenses of both sides were very efficient. In the first five minutes, the shooting percentages were very amazing. The Chinese team made 8 of 12 shots and scored 20 points; the Spanish team made 7 of 10 shots and scored 17 points.
Entering the timeout, Li Nan took the tactical board and said: "Zhou Tao, you and Sun Le will switch defenses in a while. You will focus on defending Navarro. Dayao will be stuck in the inside. Don't let him use the pick-and-roll to break through and score; Xiao Zhu, you
Fight Fernandez and don’t let him shoot three-pointers.”
Zhou Tao nodded. He thought the same way. Although Sun Le was good at defense, he suffered from lack of experience and was unable to pose a sufficient threat to Navarro, allowing the opponent to do whatever he wanted.
Soon, the two sides returned to the court. Zhou Tao controlled the ball and faced Calderon's marking. This time he no longer passed the ball so fast, but played tricks and performed stunning street ball moves.
Calderon was surprised when he thought Alston was possessed.
At the moment when he was distracted, Zhou Tao had already started quickly and passed the ball through his crotch. He also quickly jumped over Calderon and continued to control the ball in his hands. In front of him, only
That leaves the Gasol brothers
Seeing Zhou Tao break through, the Gasol brothers invariably let go of their defensive target and rushed over. Zhou Tao smiled strangely and made a fake pass. Marc Gasol was startled and quickly retreated.
And Pau Gasol also stopped and wanted to cause Zhou Tao to hit someone with the ball.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Tao collected the ball and went straight to the layup in three steps. The moment he was about to meet Pau Gasol, his body twisted strangely and floated past the opponent, and kept rising. The audience was in awe.
Amidst the screams, a backhand dunk scored 2 points
"Wow wow wow... what did I see? Is this the legendary Qing Kung Fu? Zhou Tao is so amazing. This is an aerial traverse followed by a reverse dunk. It's so difficult that it's really impressive!" Yu Jia said excitedly.
shouted
"Yes, this kind of action is really difficult. At least in all my years of watching football, I have never seen a similar dunk method. The key is the lateral movement. It is not an ordinary lateral movement, but in the air.
Avoid the blockage of a big man. If you are not careful, you may hit someone with the ball," said Teacher Su.
The scene was also in a state of excitement, especially the Chinese fans. They cheered loudly with excitement. The male fans kept shouting "Come on," but the female fans were much crazier. They shouted "Zhou Tao, I love you" and their boyfriends were all excited.
I'm a little jealous, but there's nothing I can do about it, Zhou Tao is also my idol!
Calderon was dissatisfied with the humiliation of having his crotch pierced, but he was still able to control himself, composed himself, took the ball from Gasol, lowered his head and rushed forward.
Sun Le went up. He couldn't guard Navarro, but that didn't mean he couldn't guard Calderon. At least in terms of height, he had the advantage, and he wouldn't suffer much in terms of footwork.
Calderon resolutely implemented the tactics arranged by the coach, without excessive possession of the ball, and passed the ball inside. Marc Gasol caught the ball. Although he was not as tall as Yao, he was better because he was big enough and used his back to lean against him.
After a few times, he found that he couldn't hit it. In desperation, he threw the ball towards Navarro out of habit.
A white figure rushed out from the side and intercepted the basketball before Navarro. In the opponent's stunned eyes, it floated across the center line like a phantom and went straight to the basket.
It's Zhou Tao, it's Zhou Tao again, the audience cheers, except of course some Spanish audiences. As we all know, in this case, Zhou Tao will not let go of the opportunity to perform.
He still took off one step behind the free throw line, but the difference was that Zhou Tao chose an unexpected action for the next time - an eye-closed dunk! He closed his eyes the moment he took off, and the photographers under the basket could clearly see
Seeing all this, their eyes widened and they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
"Bang!" The basketball was dunked heavily, and Zhou Tao also hung on the basket, and then jumped down amidst the exclamations of the audience. He didn't open his eyes until his feet completely touched the ground.
"Incredible! Really incredible!" Through the slow-motion replay, fans watching the game all over the world had the same thought in their hearts: Zhou Tao, do you dare to be more magical?
However, the Spanish team is like an unbeatable little strongman, surprisingly tenacious, especially Pau Gasol, who completely defeated Xiao Yi and Da Zhi. It was precisely because of his outstanding performance that they were able to win the championship.
Let Spain hold on to the score. At the end of the first quarter, they were only 5 points behind 25-30.
"Wow, what a wonderful game, the intensity is beyond imagination!" Kobe turned to Paul next to him in the stands and said.
All members of the American team are watching from above. They have entered the finals first and are waiting for their final opponent.
"This Zhou Tao is difficult to deal with. I have a feeling that I can't guard against him!" Paul's face was solemn and he began to worry about his defense.
"Two points, as long as we guard against their two most threatening points, that is, Zhou Tao and Yao, we will be more than half successful!" Kobe directly targeted the Chinese team's Achilles' heel.
"The problem is, it is these two points that make it difficult for us to defend him well in a real sense!" James said, "Judging from the past season, no center can defend Yao well. His power has become greater.
Moreover, some technical movements are more skillful”
"The most difficult person to deal with is Zhou Tao. Have you noticed that he seems to be improving all the time, and the progress is great! I seem to have an illusion that he didn't try his best just now, and he has been holding back and beating!"
Kobe’s words were shocking
"Yes!" Durant slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "Let me tell you, every time I watch his game video, I have a different feeling. It turns out that he has improved so fast. It's terrifying! He
His ability to read the game is so strong. How long has it been since he started playing? Is he a legendary genius?"
"Maybe! His physical fitness is so good. Not only does he have superhuman jumping, but his strength is also amazing. Coupled with his well-known speed, I can't find any weaknesses in him!" Paul was a little frustrated. For the first time, he said:
An opponent in the same position feels powerless
"Don't be discouraged, we are still the strongest! No matter how strong Zhou Tao is, he can't beat our team!" Kobe is worthy of being the big brother in the team. Although he has some scruples about Zhou Tao, he still motivates his teammates and does not let them
