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

Chapter 219 The first victory in the group stage

"Du, please rest for 2 minutes in the fourth quarter!" Deng Huade said, looking at Du Zhe who was sweating profusely.

"Don't worry coach, I know in my heart, I can still persist in the last quarter." Du Zhe's tone is beyond doubt.

Deng Huade, who always spoke quickly, didn't know what to say. After swallowing hard, he turned to Arab League.

"Ah Lian, then you go off the court and rest for 2 minutes, take a breath and then play again."

Ah Lian gasped heavily, and nodded with difficulty.

He has only rested for a total of three or four minutes since the game, and he has been fighting hand-to-hand inside. His physical strength is indeed almost at its bottom.

The rest time between the third and fourth quarters is not long, and the game will start again soon.

"Why is Du Zhe playing again?" Even Director Zhang, the commentator of this game, was a little surprised to see Du Zhe play.

"If I remember correctly, from the beginning to the present, Du Zhe should have played for three full quarters without a break for one minute."

"And when the audience saw his performance on the court, he was running all over the court from offense to defense, with almost no strokes."

"Continue to fight like this, I'm afraid Du Zhe's physical strength will collapse in the end!"

Director Zhang's tone was worried.

Director Yu on the side couldn't help complaining: "Deng Huade's rotation is too rigid, it's easy to use but can't be used to death!"

Yonas, the coach of Xiwa on the sidelines, saw Du Zhe's figure reappearing on the court, and his originally serious expression became even more scary.

He had a vague premonition that in today's game, his team would be suppressed by Du Zhe for the entire game.

Entering the fourth quarter, the national team took the lead in serving and attacking.

The Xila team, which is still behind, once again strengthened its defensive strength and began to press the whole court, trying to expose the Huaguo men's basketball team through high-pressure defense.

But Liu Wei is not Yu Shulong after all, his skills and experience are much stronger than the latter, and because he didn't make many shots on the offensive end, so far his physical strength has been preserved very well.

After some entanglement, Liu Wei dribbled the ball across the half court without any risk, and Du Zhe ran over to meet him.

Now that UAE Lian is not on the court, Du Zhe naturally takes on the main offensive responsibility.

However, after receiving the ball, he faced a very tight defense.

Diamantidis stepped on the three-point line to defend, leaving no room for Du Zhe to shoot.

Du Zhe held the ball with his back, and the time passed by every minute.

Ding Jinhui saw that Du Zhe didn't move for a long time, and wanted to pull out the pick-and-roll, but he waved him away directly.

Seeing that the 24 seconds of attack time were running out, Diamantidis breathed a sigh of relief.

This kid named Du Zhe finally ran out of skills, and the Huaguo men's basketball team seemed to be unable to hold back.

However, Diamantidis still did not relax his vigilance. He did not dare to take a break for Du Zhe, a scoring machine who had already scored more than 30 points.

Seeing that there were only a few seconds left to attack, Du Zhe didn't hesitate any longer, and directly leaned back and threw the ball against Diamantidis' defense.

When Diamantidis saw Du Zhe make a move, he did not delay at all and immediately interfered.

However, Du Zhe's jump shot has a large backward range and a high bounce height. Coupled with the advantages of height and wingspan, it is difficult for Diamantidis to completely interfere with his shot.

Having perfected his fadeaway jumper and strong three-point shot, and with a bit of luck, Du Zhe faced Diamantidis at the top of the key and scored a goal.

The basketball hit the net, and Diamantidis, who had his back to the basket, did not see this scene, but his heart sank when he heard the roar of "MVP" from the Chinese fans in the stands.

Turning around, the number on the scoreboard just finished beating, 71:65, the difference between the two teams came to six points again.

Yunus on the sidelines could only shake his head helplessly. There was no way to blame anyone for the loss of points this time. The players' defense was already in place. It can only be said that Du Zhe's touch was too unexplainable.

Although Du Zhe's shot was not very reasonable, it undoubtedly boosted the morale of all Chinese players on and off the court.

"Du Zhe's shot is really tough. In this situation, he needs a hero shot like him to boost morale!"

"I'm afraid that this moment has destroyed Team Xiwa's morale!"

Director Zhang’s excitement could no longer be concealed.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to expect the Greek team to be defeated by Du Zhe's heroic goal.

Several Xiwa players on the field are also veterans who have experienced many major competitions. This headwind situation cannot shake their determination at all.

Until now, they still don't believe that they will be the losers in today's game.

But blows followed.

On the next possession, Spanoulis dribbled across half court.

But after being consumed by Du Zhe's aggressiveness for an entire match, his physical strength declined severely.

Du Zhe stepped up the pressure at the center line, and Spanoulis made a mistake in his busy schedule, and made an illegal return error.

The ball returned to the hands of the national team again.

The national team served in the front court, and after a simple tactic, Du Zhe got the opportunity to shoot directly at a 45-degree angle.

It was another three-pointer, 74:65, and the point difference between the two teams was about to reach double digits.

With such a point difference, the Xila team, which had been steady for the whole game, also became impatient.

It is now the fourth quarter, and with such a point difference, they must race against time.

This time, the Greek team finally made an attack. Bruces threw off the big stick and hit a valuable three-pointer from the outside, which stabilized the situation.

Looking back, the national team counterattacked. Facing a double-team, Du Zhe passed the ball to Sun Yue, but unfortunately the latter missed an open three-pointer.

The Greek team took advantage of the situation to counterattack. Diamantidis broke through and entered the inside, successfully fouled Ding Jinhui, and then made two free throws.

The Greek men's basketball team scored consecutively in this wave, rewriting the score to 74:70, which revived the suspense of the game.

Taking advantage of the gap between free throws, the national team completed the substitution, and Ah Lian, who had not had a long rest, played again and replaced Ding Jinhui.

After the Arab League came on the field, the national team's defense in the interior tightened again, and the intensity of protecting the frame and rebounding was once again strengthened.

However, Ah Lian's first shot after taking the field did not hit, and Du Zhe's strong shot also came back in vain.

For several rounds in succession, no one from the national team stood up to score, and because of the decline in physical strength of the Xila team, the shooting percentage of outside shots also began to decline.

The situation on the field was a bit dull for a while.

In the end, it was Du Zhe who stood up and broke the deadlock.

This time he chose to enter the inside and play hard after the pick-and-roll.

Bruces, who had a relatively soft style of play, was directly crushed by him and completed a 2+1 dunk.

"It's Du Zhe again, it's Du Zhe again at the critical moment, a 2+1 stabilizes the situation!" Director Yu's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"This 2+1 is so crucial!"

"Du Zhe, today he didn't rest for a minute, and he can still play such a tough performance in the fourth quarter. This is the dominance of a top star!"

Director Zhang was generous with his kind words.

Du Zhe faced off head-on in the low post, and directly ate the big center Bruces raw with his strength, which not only made the opponent lose face, but also made him, who had been chattering since the beginning, completely shut up.

After a steady extra penalty shot, the score was rewritten to 77:70.

On the Chinese men's basketball team, Du Zhe took the lead to break the deadlock, but no one on the Greek team stepped forward.

With the decline in physical strength, the Xiwa men's basketball team has been unable to maintain the opening shooting percentage on the outside.

As for the national team, at the last moment, the UAE stood up.

On the next goal, Du Zhe hit a three-pointer under heavy defense on the outside, but the United Arab Emirates made a strong shot inside, overwhelming Brusis and grabbing the offensive rebound.

Then he hit a tip-in under the basket.

At 79:70, the point difference between the two teams widened again, and Jonas had no choice but to call a timeout and rearrange tactics.

After coming off the field, Brusis finally recovered from the dazed state of being dunked just now.

He started mumbling again.

"Du Zhe is just an animal, aren't you tired after fighting for so long?"

"Why didn't you double-team Du Zhe that ball just now? The ball was dunked because your reaction was too slow!"

His teammates have long been accustomed to his complaints.

At most, it's fine to say a few words in my heart.

However, Yunus, who was in a bad mood, had no intention of coddling him.

"Brucis, shut your mouth!"

"Not to mention Du Zhe, Ah Lian alone scored more than [-] points against you!"

"In the next game, you have to play tougher, and don't let Yi Jianlian easily take off the board and score points on your head!"

Yunus's merciless words left Brusis speechless.

After rearranging the tactics, the Greek wax team returned to the field again.

After returning from the timeout, they followed the coach's arrangement and finally launched an attack. Diamantidis once again hit a mid-range shot, bringing the score to 79:72.

The veteran scored frequently at critical moments and became the anchor of the Greek team in the final quarter.

But it is a pity that this veteran alone is obviously unable to support the team alone.

Backcourt partner Spanoulis, under the restrictions of Du Zhe, basically can only be a machine that dribbles across the half-court throughout the game.

Brusis, the inside pillar, was held steady by the United Arab Emirates in this game. After being reprimanded by Yunus, he played even more absent-mindedly.

Several core members are in poor condition, and the Greek team can only rely on Diamantidis to support them.

Just got two points back and saw a glimmer of hope, but then Du Zhe and Ah Lian cooperated with the pick-and-roll and scored two points inside.

Facing the pick-and-roll of Du Zhe and A Lian, the two big killers on the court, the Xila team was already a little overwhelmed. No matter who was shorted, they couldn't bear the price they had to pay.

The Greek team had to choose the lesser of two evils. When faced with the pick-and-roll, they could only choose to guard Du Zhe tightly and relax their guard on Ah Lian and Dazhi. This also gave the two the opportunity to score frequently in the paint.

As the point difference between the two teams expanded little by little, in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Greek wax team completely gave up hope of a comeback.

However, since the wins in the group stage are the same, it is likely that a smaller score will be needed to determine the final ranking, so the Greek team is still trying its best to resist and want to lose as few points as possible.

As Spanoulis' last attack was interrupted, this fierce game finally came to an end.

Du Zhe held the ball and waited quietly for the time to run out. As the final whistle sounded, he patted the ball aside with relief and began to enjoy the rare moment of victory.

Coach Deng Huade and the players on the bench also rushed into the field one after another, surrounding Du Zhe...

Correspondingly, there were the lonely figures of the Greek players at the scene.

They were originally full of ambitions and wanted to make a difference in the World Championships, but they didn't expect to receive a wake-up call on the first day.

Especially Spanoulis and Brusis, they were completely blown away by Du Zhe and Arab League in the matchup, and now they have some doubts about life.

Fortunately for Brusis, he at least scored 21 points, which could barely be considered as an exchange of points with the United Arab Emirates.
And Spanoulis, who claims to be the core of Kobe Bryant in Europe, only scored 30 points in the game for more than 5 minutes, and there were several fatal mistakes in the middle, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to his confidence. .

Even the Greek coach Yunus, who is known for his iron face, had to provide some psychological counseling to Spanoulis after the game.

He was afraid that today's battle would unbalance the mentality of his top general and affect his subsequent performance.

At 88:81, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the last runner-up Xiwa, and directly caused a big upset in the opening game of the World Championships.

此战杜哲打满全场，以30投15中，罚球5罚4中的命中率，砍下43分5板7助5断的全能数据。

Because he spent too much on the defensive end, his physical strength declined quickly, so his shooting rate on the offensive end dropped to 5%.

With Du Zhe attracting firepower, Alian, who was already strong in the FIBA ​​arena, completely let go of his hands and feet.

他全场17中11，外加罚球11中8，狂砍30分15板。

The two of them, inside and outside, held up the national team, defeated the European powerhouse Greece, and completely disrupted the situation in Group C.

After the game, whether it was the Huaguo audience who watched the game live or the domestic fans who watched it through the Internet and TV, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night.

The invincible Greek team, the Greek team that once created myths, was suppressed by the national team for one night, and finally lost the game.

After the first battle tonight, Du Zhe's status in the hearts of Chinese fans has risen to a higher level.

Now he is not only a star of Huaguo in the NBA, but also a hero of Huaguo who is turning the tide in the world arena.

Some anxious fans have even begun to predict where the national team will qualify in the group and which teams it will have an advantage against in the knockout rounds.

After the Huaguo men's basketball team's first match against Xiwa, the other four teams in Group C also started a fight.

In the end, Luoguo defeated Bodoligo 75:66. The general of Bodoli, Jose Barea, scored 25 points, but it was still difficult to prevent the multi-pointed Luosuo men's basketball team from taking the victory.

In another game, Turkey was close to 86 points with 47:40 and bloodbathed Ivory Coast.

The host, Turkey, which sits at home and has two NBA players to help out, showed its sharpness in the first game, showing its tyrannical strength and ambition.

In this way, the first round of Group C ended. The national team temporarily ranked third in the group due to a small score disadvantage.
