Standing pretty old

Chapter 427 Unfavorable Start
In the 2006 World Championships, the Greek men's basketball team encountered the Chinese men's basketball team in the quarterfinals.

At that time, the Tianchao men's basketball team played a wonderful first quarter. They were tied with the Greek team in the first half, but in the second half, they were defeated by the Greek men's basketball team as usual.

Of course, regarding that World Championships, Chinese fans have more memories of Wang Shipeng's three-pointer against Slovenia, and the Greek men's basketball team who killed the young Mengqi, but lost to the lack of Paul * in the final. Sol's Spanish team.

This Greek men's basketball team is not much different from that team in the World Championships, and the main players in the team are also roughly the same. The Greek coach is still Yanakis, known as the "Tyrannosaurus".

This old man is a diehard who is likely to be more stubborn than Yunus, and his life creed is three words: "patience, discipline and faith."

But judging from the number of roars in the game, this guy is indeed more "tempered" than Jonas's coaching style.

To be honest, from the point of view of those who know the ball, as long as you see which coach on the sidelines yells more aggressively, you can probably guess the performance of the players on the court and the basic trend of the game.

Yao Ming and the opponent's center Brosis stood in the middle circle to jump the ball, and the Tianchao men's basketball team got the ball first.

Liu Wei dribbled the ball across the half court, and was immediately robbed by Papa Lucas. This 2-meter-tall point guard was once the No.1 in Europe. His defense and organization are world-class.

Liu Wei can still stand in front of the general European and American point guards, but facing Papa Lucas's extremely aggressive defense, he seems very uncomfortable.

Ruan Erniu had to run to the perimeter to catch the ball immediately, but Fossis, who was defending Erniu, didn't follow, and Erniu directly shot from outside the three-point line and missed!
Brocis got the backcourt rebound and passed it to Papalucas, who dribbled the ball across half court.

Facing Papa Lucas, who is two meters tall, Liu Wei looked like a junior player challenging a senior player.

After a while of tactical running for the Greek team, Diamantidis made a jump shot from a mid-range open space.

The game entered the rhythm of the Greeks from the very beginning.

On the offensive end of the Tianchao men's basketball team, Liu Wei sent a baseline ball to Sun Yue. When Sun Yue passed the defense of Diamantidis, he wanted to use a back turn to pass the opponent, but was caught by Papa Lucas not far away. Give it a glance.

He suddenly rushed forward, broke the basketball in Sun Yue's hand, then took a big step, layup easily, and successfully scored two points.

Two years have passed, and the Chinese men's basketball team still has nothing to do in the face of the Greek men's basketball team's fierce attack in the backcourt.

Yunus roared again, but he didn't have any intention of changing players.

Liu Wei and Sun Yue are already the two most stable ball-handlers in the team, and even they were forced into this by their opponents. If they were replaced by Chen Jianghua or Zhang Qingpeng, the loss would only be worse.

Liu Wei finally managed to bring the ball across the frontcourt, Zhu Fangyu ran out of the open space with the help of Er Niu's cover, and shot from outside the three-point line, but still missed.

Fortis got the backcourt rebound and passed it to Papalucas, who made a beautiful passing pass.

The ball came to Vassilopoulos, who was running at the front, from the gap. The Greek small forward dunked the basket with both hands and scored without any defense.

The Tianchao men's basketball team was stopped. During this time, the Tianchao men's basketball team was punched to the ground by the opponent.

This is the first time since the beginning of the Olympics, the Tianchao men's basketball team was so embarrassed by their opponents in the first quarter. In the previous games, the Tianchao men's basketball team was always in the lead. Second-rate.

Yunus severely criticized Liu Wei and Sun Yue, thinking that they were too slack.

Ruan Erniu stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to play point guard, how about it?"

Yunas looked at Ruan Erniu in surprise, he didn't expect Erniu to come up with such an idea at this time.

"Actually, I have had this idea for a long time. Compared with the inside, the gap between us on the outside is more obvious. I will play the first position, which can limit Papa Lucas on the defensive end."

Er Niu is right at all, the reason why the Tianchao men's basketball team got off to such a bad start.

It is directly related to the Greek leader Papa Lucas's full-court defense and excellent organizational skills. Being able to strangle Papa Lucas defensively is definitely the biggest blow to the Greek men's basketball team.

Yunus seemed to be used to Ruan Erniu's self-assessment, and after a few seconds of thinking, Yunus agreed with Erniu's idea.

But Yonas still said at the end: "If you can't handle Papa Lucas, you don't even want to play in this game!"

Ruan Erniu smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, I won't give you this chance!"

Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, and Ruan Erniu returned to the field. This time, Erniu appeared at the point guard position.

A Lian sent the ball from the baseline, Er Niu held the ball in the half court, Papa Lucas was obviously a little dazed, what's the situation, the inside player of the Tianchao men's basketball team, by the way, is that NBA FMVP as the point guard?

Before Papa Lucas could react, Ruan Erniu accelerated and passed the opponent.

Papalukas chased after him, and Er Niu went all the way to the inside of the Greek team as if there was no one else.

Brocis' defense was a step slower, and the two bulls who rushed up completed a wonderful dunk dunk, which opened the prelude to the Chinese men's basketball team's chasing points.

Papalukas deserves to be the No.1 in Europe. After dribbling the ball steadily for halftime, he sent a cross ball again. The Greek team crossed positions again and ran out of a big gap.

Fortis made an empty cut to the basket, and Allen missed.

Just after everyone thought Fortis would complete the attack with a dunk, Sun Yue ran to the defending position ahead of time and slapped the ball out with a big cap.

Pretty!

No foul.

Under FIBA's rules, Sun Yue's defense skills are quite good, and he can cover from the first to the fifth position. Even if he goes to the Lakers, if he can take advantage of this aspect, he will still be quite competitive.

In the battle against the US men's basketball team, he also had a wonderful blocking scene against Howard and Anthony.

Ruan Erniu took the rebound and dribbled the ball straight to the opponent's half.

If in normal times, Papa Lucas uses his huge advantage in strength, it is entirely possible to suppress the opponent's speed and use physical confrontation to force the opponent to slow down.

But in the face of a brute force monster like Ruan Erniu, this trick is not easy to use.

As soon as Ruan Erniu exerted his strength, Papa Lucas was pushed aside.

Er Niu tried his best and ran to the frontcourt, but there were no defenders around him.

It's show time!

Er Niu threw the ball to the basket with one step inside the free throw line, and then jumped high. After receiving the rebound ball in the air, he swung his arms in a big loop, used a big windmill, and dunked the ball hard into the basket.

After experiencing the depression after the opening, the fans at the scene once again fell into the sea of ​​joy.

The women's basketball girls also applauded Er Niu's domineering dunk.

Chief No. [-] also smiled and clapped his hands.

Ruan Erniu really played dignity and friendship for the Tianchao men's basketball team.

After experiencing the discomfort after the opening.

The Tianchao men's basketball team changed Ruan Erniu to the No. [-] position, and now it's their turn to catch up.

After that, in the first quarter of the game, the two teams played back and forth. Ruan Erniu was indeed not afraid of Papa Lucas' defense, but on the offensive end, Papa Lucas' methodical organization still made Erniu There is no way.

This is not a player who focuses on offense. His greatest role is to make his teammates better. Erniu's defense is excellent, but it still can't stop him from sending exquisite passes.

At 25:27, the first quarter ended, and the Tianchao men's basketball team fell behind their opponents by 2 points.
