Chapter 211 Looking for Du Zhe

With a whistle on the sidelines, the game between the two teams officially began.

Ramos from Puerto Rico won the ball, Arroyo advanced with the ball, broke through and then split the ball. Ramos wiped the board and scored the first goal of the game.

However, the counterattack of the Huaguo men's basketball team was also very quick. In the next round, Du Zhe used the pick-and-roll to directly force a shot from outside the three-point line.

Vassallo, who was being guarded, had not yet fully entered the state, and Du Zhe unexpectedly hit a three-pointer on his head.

For most of his career, he either played in his home league or made a living in Europe, and had little interaction with the NBA.

Although I have heard about Du Zhe's deeds from Arroyo and Barea's two teammates, I always feel that they are exaggerating.

What's more, the NBA is the NBA, and the FIBA ​​is the FIBA. The two systems are not the same.

Really competing in the international arena, some players who have developed well in Europe often perform no worse than NBA stars.

Although Du Zhe is strong, Vassallo thinks he is not weak. After all, he has also played brilliantly in the Champions League.

So after hearing Du Zhe's reputation, Vassallo, instead of being timid, became competitive.

Immediately afterwards, Portoli attacked, and Vassaro took the initiative to provide a pick-and-roll for Barea who was running.

Seeing Liu Wei being blocked by the opponent, Du Zhe decisively chose to switch defense and followed him.

After receiving the ball, Barea found Du Zhe coming to guard him. He hesitated and did not dare to act rashly.

Bodoli's originally smooth pass and cut movement obviously stagnated here.

Afraid of Du Zhe's reputation, Barea distributed the ball to Arroyo who was on the sidelines.

A lot of time was wasted. After receiving the ball, the latter chose to break through and make a strong shot, directly hitting the iron.

Vassallo felt that the shot was unreasonable.

In his opinion, Barea just ran out of a chance. After all, Du Zhe is obviously that kind of heavy small forward from the perspective of stature. Barea still has a chance to pass Du Zhe by virtue of his speed and agility.

It's a pity that Barea didn't try to rush the ball.

However, the situation on the field did not allow Vassaro to think too much.

After Ah Lian protected the defensive rebound, he handed the ball to Liu Wei to advance and counterattack.

Taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold and the big center Ramos under the basket, Du Zhe forced his way to the basket to cause damage after receiving the pass.

It's a pity that power forward Balkman filled his position in time and withstood his impact.

Still some distance away from the basket, Du Zhe thought there was nothing he could do, so he hit the ground and passed the ball to the Arab League.

A Lian made a direct jump shot, but unfortunately failed to hit.

Bo Duoli took advantage of the chaos to fight back, and Barea raised the knife from outside the three-point line, leading the score again.

However, Bodo's lead did not last long. Turning around, Sun Yue hit a mid-range shot, bringing the two teams back to the same starting line.

In the first few rounds, the two teams just tried their hand at the game, and the battle was tied at 5:5.

In the next few rounds, Boduoli's backcourt double guns used breakthroughs and shooting to cause damage.

On the other hand, the national team is attacking around Du Zhe and UAE.

Du Zhe used more three-point shooting to score in this game.

Since FIBA's three-point range is slightly shorter, he can shoot directly half a step outside the three-point line.

With the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll cover, he scored points easily.

And playing this way is not only efficient, but also saves energy.

Soon after 8 minutes of the first quarter, Du Zhe took 8 shots, hit 8 goals and scored 5 points.

In the slow-paced FIBA ​​game, this score and shot are already terrifying.

In this way, in the first 8 minutes, the national team temporarily led by 21 points at 17:4, and Bodoli each took the initiative to call a timeout.

After suffering a loss, head coach Cintron quickly made adjustments. He would rather leave the inside line who came to pick and roll open, but also firmly block Du Zhe from outside the three-point line.

After all, if Du Zhe is not blocked, he will most likely lose three points.

And the inside line who came to the pick-and-roll empty, with the team's high-speed rotation, still has a chance to make up the defense.

Since under FIBA ​​rules, each quarter only lasts 10 minutes, seeing that there was not much time left in the first quarter, Deng Huade was ready to make some personnel adjustments.

"Du, you go off the court and rest for a while, and you can play again when the second quarter starts." Deng Huade said.

Both Wang Qi and Zhou Peng on one side are ready to play.

But Du Zhe said that he could still fight.

Due to the poor state of the UAE, he used all his strength in the first quarter to take a four-point lead. Du Zhe was worried that the lead he had finally established would disappear in an instant after he left the game.

After the substitutions, the inside partners became Da Zhi and Zhang Zhaoxu, while Liu Wei, one of the outside players, took a break and was replaced by Wang Qi, who has a stronger attack power.

As for Potoli, since the final lineup has not yet been determined, they still have a large number of people on the bench in this game.

Veteran Arroyo rested, replaced by shooting guard Ayoso.

Ayoso is a typical American defender with a unique style of play and strong scoring ability. He was once the core player of Bodo Liga.

In the Polish domestic league last season, he led his team to win the championship, and his average of 19.1 points per game also made him the finals MVP.

However, after Barea's rise, he was not reused in the team led by Porto's coach Cintron, which also made him somewhat dissatisfied.

At the small forward position, Vassallo, who has been drifting outside the system and has a weak sense of participation, was also replaced.

The small forward Cameron Lee who came off the bench is a two-meter-tall defensive wing, and he was replaced mainly to contain the unstoppable Du Zhe.

On the inside, Ramos took a rest and was replaced by another tall center Daniel Santiago.

Santiago is 34 years old and is a tall insider with a height of 2 meters. He has played in the NBA for four seasons and averaged 16 points and 4 rebounds per game at his peak.

He is used to wearing a pair of sports glasses in the international arena, which left a deep impression on many fans.

The game starts again.

As a veteran of the team, Ayoso ended the first attack after playing.

After a simple pick-and-roll emergency stop jumper, Ayoso easily scored two points.

Then came the counterattack round of the Huaguo men's basketball team.

This time Du Zhe did not move, but chose to squat in the corner and wait silently for an opportunity.

Even so, Cameron Lee stuck to him tightly, not daring to leave any room.

Wang Qi failed to find a chance after the breakthrough and passed the ball to Da Zhi inside.

Da Zhi faced the double team and gave the ball to Sun Yue on the outside.

Facing the vacancy, Sun Yue hesitated for a moment, but the opportunity was fleeting.

He can only distribute the ball to Du Zhe who is ambushing in the bottom corner.

"Looking for Du Zhe" has become one of the habits of Hua Guo players on the field.

After this lap, the 24-second attack time was running out. After receiving the ball, Du Zhe had no choice but to make a hasty shot and made a sharp fadeaway shot.

Bang!

The basketball trembled as it hit the rim.

The ball missed, and Du Zhe fell to the ground because he leaned back too far.

Fortunately, he had thick skin and thick flesh, so he got up immediately and returned to defense.
