At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 218

Seeing that the Greek wax team pressed the audience after the substitution, Deng Huade's brows could not help but wrinkled again.

He didn't expect Yu Shulong to be so difficult to dribble under high pressure, and he couldn't even make it past halftime.

He regretted replacing Liu Wei and Sun Yue at the same time.

The Greek wax team has just played a fast-break counterattack, and the national team is still serving to attack.

Having tasted the sweetness, the Greek wax team repeated their tricks and continued to press the whole court.

Jonas's idea is very simple. Anyway, most of the people sent here are substitutes, and they won't be able to play for a long time.

It is better to take advantage of the difference in substitute strength between the two teams, strengthen the defensive intensity, and widen the point difference in one go.

When Ding Jinhui was about to serve, the defender Calathes, who came off the bench for the Xilu team, was still entangled with Yu Shulong.

Wang Qi was going to meet him, but Du Zhe was one step ahead of him, rushing directly to ask Yu Shulong.

When Yu Shulong, who was struggling to hold on, saw his teammates respond, he passed the ball hurriedly like a drowning man grabbing something.

Diamantidis, who stayed on the court to hold the line, saw that Du Zhe wanted to take control, and immediately followed him without hesitation.

He wanted to use his "octopus" skills to make Du Zhe make mistakes, or at least force the opponent to pass the ball.

Seeing Diamantidis approaching closely, Du Zhe was expressionless, and after a short pause, he suddenly accelerated.

He had never used his full speed in the game today, and now he accelerated suddenly, catching Diamantidis off guard.

Du Zhe's stride was already long, coupled with this amazing speed, Diamantidis, who was caught off guard, was directly passed by with one step.

The national team immediately got a wave of 4-on-3 opportunities in the frontcourt.

Du Zhe broke through at full speed, trying to get to the basket and cause damage.

Facing the inside line of Xiwa who hurriedly came out to defend, he easily lobbed the ball to the UAE.

The latter directly completed a dunk after receiving the ball, leading the score again.

At 20:19, the scores of the two teams increased alternately.

The Xiwa men's basketball team served the backcourt, but Du Zhe did not turn to the defense like other players, but called Yu Shulong to press the frontcourt together.

Diamantidis felt somewhat disapproving when he saw that Du Zhe was imitating him and playing a full-court press.

They are not the same as the backup guards from Huaguo. They have all-round advantages from physique to technology.

The pressing pressure of the Chinese men's basketball team is just a copycat.

After receiving the serve from the center forward, Diamantidis pushed forward with the ball, and Du Zhe immediately came up to confront him.

As a well-known top defender in Europe, Diamantidis didn't panic at all, and wanted to use rhythm and change of direction to get rid of Du Zhe's defense.

But within seconds, he realized something wasn't quite right.

No matter how he changed direction or accelerated, he could not get rid of Du Zhe's defense. The center line of the court was clearly in front of him, but he could not get over Du Zhe's high wall and dribble the ball across the half court.

Due to Diamantidis's reputation, other Greek players never worried that he would overturn in such a trivial matter as dribbling the ball across half court. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

The Greek team soon paid the price for their arrogance. Diamantidis eagerly wanted to pass the ball, but when the route was blocked, he was intercepted by Du Zhesheng.

Then Du Zhe took the lead, went straight to the basket, and dunked again.

At 22:19, two dunks in succession completely boosted the morale of the national team.

Brusis began to complain endlessly, while Diamantidis spread his hands towards him with a look of helplessness.

The two seemed to be arguing about something, but since they didn't speak English, Du Zhe couldn't understand either.

Yunus shouted anxiously towards the field, as if he wanted the players on the field to concentrate and play more united.

Then the Greek team continued to attack.

This time Bruces didn't dare to send the ball to Diamantidis again, and instead passed the ball to the substitute Calathes who was marked by the tree dragon.

When Calathes received the ball, Du Zhe immediately went up to double-team.

Calathes is still a young player after all, and he can still cope with Shulong's pressing alone.

But when Du Zhe double-teamed, facing the flanking attack of the two, he still panicked.

Especially Du Zhe, with his powerful body and a pair of elusive long arms, made Calasis even more frightened.

Facing Diamantidis who came to meet him, he wanted to pass the ball in a hurry.

But the quality of this kind of hurried pass is not high, and the route has long been predicted by Du Zhe.

Du Zhe raised his arm and shot down the pass from mid-air.

Calathes, who lost the ball, immediately counterattacked, but Du Zhe was faster than him.

Du Zhe first used brute force to squeeze the opponent away, and then he sprinted to win the ball and went straight to the basket.

"boom!"

The basket trembled slightly.

With three consecutive dunks, the Huaguo fans who traveled thousands of miles to watch the game were completely ignited with passion.

Shouts of "Du Zhe MVP" were heard uniformly at the scene, which was deafening.

The runner-up of the last World Championships, the European powerhouse Xila who once defeated the dream team, was beaten and retreated in the first quarter.

Yunus' already serious face was now even more livid and scary.

He didn't expect that after the personnel adjustment, the point difference between the two teams not only did not shrink, but widened.

The defense shown by Du Zhe in these two rounds is completely NBA...not the world's top.

This also made Yunas secretly regret it.

He was blinded by Du Zhe's crazy scoring performance recently.

I completely forgot that the reason why this Chinese player can play in the NBA is not just his crazy scoring ability.

Du Zheke started as a defensive player, was appreciated by Nelson for his excellent defense, and finally grew up step by step from a 10-day short-contract player.

Under the light of the FMVP halo, many people have even gradually forgotten the fact that he was the best defensive player in the NBA last season.

At this time, the time left for the Greek wax team in the first quarter can only complete the last attack.

They suffered consecutive losses, but this time they were cautious.

Even Bruces, who has been nagging, took the initiative to pick and roll after completing the serve this time.

After several difficult pass transfers, the Greek team finally dribbled the ball across the half court and launched an attack for the first time in a long time.

It's just that they were running out of time, and after a few pick-and-roll cooperations, they hurriedly shot from the outside.

The ball hit the iron without any surprise, Ah Lian grabbed the defensive rebound and passed the ball to Du Zhe.Du Zhe made a super long three-pointer at the buzzer, but unfortunately missed.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team unexpectedly took the lead at 24:19.

首节比赛，杜哲8投5中，砍下12分1板2助2断。

In addition to being blocked on the first ball, UAE also played very well in the rest of the round, making 3 of 2 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 6 points and 4 rebounds.

…………

The lag in the first quarter was obviously completely beyond the expectations of the Greek wax team.

In the brief interval between the first and second quarters, Yunus reiterated the tactical requirements to all the team members with a livid face.

This coach, who has always been known for his rigorous military management, has a high prestige among the players. Seeing such a stern coach get angry, everyone in the Xilu team is silent and feels a lot of pressure.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the veteran Diamantidis took a break, and Spanoulis took the lead.

The Greek team launched its first attack, and Du Zhe was still tirelessly pressing the whole court.

Spanoulis, who was one size smaller than Diamantidis, was also in danger under Du Zhe's impenetrable blockade.

Fortunately, the Xila team, which has learned a lot from a pit, has now arranged enough manpower to support it, so that it will not repeat the same mistakes at the end of the first quarter.

But even so, Du Zhe relied on his own strength to restrain and pull the opponent's three players, and successfully wasted a few seconds of Xila team's attack time.

Yunas's face became more and more ugly. He had to admit that the current Huaguo men's basketball team was even stronger than in 08.

Under the leadership of Du Zhe, the Huaguo men's basketball team, which was originally a second-rate weak or third-rate strong team, now has the strength to wrestle with strong teams.

This is the inexplicable thing about superstars!
Yunus sighed helplessly, but he was not too desperate.

Although the team is still lagging behind, he does not believe that Du Zhe can maintain this state and play the whole game.

What the current Greek team has to do is to stabilize the situation as much as possible and let the point difference widen.

Then when Du Zhe came off the court to take a break, he suddenly exerted his strength and took away the game in one wave.

But...the only problem is that Du Zhe still stayed on the court at the beginning of the second quarter.

Fortunately, the Greek team, which had stabilized its position, gradually adapted to Du Zhe's defensive intensity.

Although every attack wastes a little more time, it is rare that consecutive mistakes are counterattacked like at the end of the first quarter.

However, the situation on the field is still not very good.

In the second quarter, although the Xilu team strengthened their running, they wanted to disrupt the defense of the Huaguo men's basketball team through a fast-paced offense.

But the presence of Du Zhe made them feel stuck in their throats. On the offensive end, they were like a machine that lacked lubricating oil, sluggish.

Especially Spanoulis, who is known as the European Kobe, has never suffered such a loss in the international arena.

Especially when he entered the NBA, he returned to Europe in embarrassment because he was not accustomed to the local environment.

This makes Spanoulis want to prove himself against NBA players.

Under the effect of this mentality, he became more impatient when facing Du Zhe.

But it was useless to be anxious. After several near mistakes, Spanoulis accepted his position in this game.

In this game, he can only be a tool man responsible for dribbling the ball through the half court.

As for the national team, although the outside players still don't feel good, but fortunately Du Zhe and Ah Lian can absorb most of the ball, plus Dazhi can also make a sudden shot, and they can actually suppress it in the second quarter. The counterattack of the Greek wax team.

After halftime, the national team still holds the initiative on the field with 46:40.

In the second quarter, when the main force was not exhausted, Du Zhe carried the banner of the national team's offense on the court.

Although the shot has become somewhat unreasonable, the efficiency is still very high.

In the second quarter, he took 11 shots and hit 5 goals, including 7 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points in a single quarter.

27 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, almost no one would believe that this was the data obtained by a Chinese player in the first half of an international competition.

However, with such high-intensity investment on both ends of the offense and defense, even Du Zhe felt a sharp decline in physical strength.

But in the face of Deng Huade's rotation requirements, Du Zhe still insisted on choosing to stay on the court.

He understands that the situation on the court is very delicate at this time, and the Greek wax team is always looking for opportunities to counterattack. If he is off the court, the situation may usher in a reversal in an instant.

In the third quarter, the Greek team, which is still under suppression, is still gritting its teeth and persisting.

In order to save energy, Du Zhe slightly reduced the number of shots when all the starters were on the field.

He did this in order to retain some physical strength, so that he could play at the critical moment in the fourth quarter.

On the other hand, it is also because the Greek team's marking of him is getting tighter and tighter.

As a team with strict tactical discipline, even in a backward state, the Greek wax team is still implementing the team's tactics meticulously.

On the defensive end, they were also chasing and intercepting Du Zhe according to the plan formulated before the game, trying their best to prevent this terrible scoring machine from catching the ball comfortably.

Facing the opponent's siege and interception, Du Zhe had to show all his strength in the third quarter.

He activated the Stealer's Glove skill and used Diamantidis' passing skill in vain. At the same time, he no longer suppressed his aura of being a bad guy on the court and began to unleash his pressure wantonly.

However, in international competitions, these famous European players do not seem to be suppressed by the halo of bad guys on the court.

In the third quarter, Du Zhe's suppressing power on the defensive end was still significant, and in the process of facing him, Spanoulis was also exhausted by his fighter talent.

However, the tenacious Greek team did not give up the game because of this. Although they were delayed by Du Zhe in every round on the offensive end, they still relied on tireless running and precise outside shooting to close the score.

As for the national team, with Du Zhe attracting firepower, the overall efficiency of other players is pretty good.

Especially the two of Ah Lian and Da Zhi, relying on their advantage in the interior, they continued to create damage and took most of the points.

Except for Du Zhe who scored 2 points by relying on the fast break, the rest of his shots were all in charge of dealing with some offenses that were about to time out, which is commonly known as catch the pot.

Even so, Du Zhe scored 4 points in the third quarter with a shooting rate of 2 of 5.

After three quarters, his personal data reached 32 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals.

The national team also struggled to hold the lead in the third quarter, and the score between the two teams came to 68:65.

"Boys, the victory is in sight, keep running, keep strengthening the defense, don't give the opponent a little space to breathe!"

"In the last World Championships, Xiwa once created a miracle and defeated the Dream Team, but today we are going to create our own miracle on their head!"

During the short interval between the third and fourth quarters, Deng Huade was excitedly boosting morale.

Victory is in sight, but winning this victory will not be easy.

The physical exertion of several main players on the field is very serious, and the national team will face the most severe test in the fourth quarter.

This is not only a competition of technique and body, but also a battle of will and determination.
