Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 236 The Unexpected Opening

Duncan and Yao Ming who jumped the ball, these two very dominant players in the league, although they have played against each other many times in the league, because of the different positions, they rarely faced each other directly in previous games, but this time the U.S. The team does not have an orthodox center except for Okafor, so Duncan was forced to mention the position of the starting center. Therefore, the two people who made a mistake just faced each other directly in the international arena. up.

As the referee threw the ball into the air, both Yao Ming and Duncan jumped. After all, Yao Ming was more than half his head taller. Although his bounce was normal, his hand had already reached the ball, and he swung the ball back to China. In the team's half, Du Feng took the ball into his arms directly after jumping up.

"Welcome everyone to watch today's game. This much-anticipated battle has already begun. The Chinese team took the lead. Yao Ming gave the Chinese team the first chance to attack." In the live broadcast room of China Sports Channel, Zhang Weiping and Yu The two of Jia were sitting in the live broadcast room and started the live broadcast.

On the spot, the Chinese team started their first attack immediately after getting the ball. The Chinese team's style of play is very simple. Liu Wei, who is most capable of feeding Yao Ming, looks for opportunities outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle to give the ball to Yao Ming inside.

This style of play, like O'Neal's tactics in the early days of the Magic, was based on the strong offensive power of the inside core. Now Yao Ming obviously has a relatively large deterrent.

In the first round, Duncan single-handedly defended against Yao Ming. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming glanced at the defense behind him. After seeing that the US team did not double-team, he decisively turned around and attacked inside.

Duncan is known as the most defensive power forward in the league. He has his own defensive system. Naturally, his defensive skills needless to say.

Yao Ming's turn was blocked in an instant, but this turn was only Yao Ming's tentative step. He hardly stopped, and turned directly to the left. The two movements were connected very coherently, and looked very smooth. .

Duncan also immediately retracted his body and blocked Yao Ming's body, blocking Yao Ming again.

Yao Ming's pivot foot was already stuck and he couldn't move. He didn't force it, and directly threw the ball to Du Feng on the outside.

Du Feng basically didn't stop after receiving the ball. After Yao Ming regained his position, he directly threw the ball in again.

Yao Ming received the ball for the second time. This time, he did not choose to use his footsteps to make a strong hit. First, he made a fake left turn. Naturally, the experienced Duncan did not suffer, but he then turned right and then made a backward shot.

This time, even if the defense is as strong as Duncan's, there is nothing to do. Yao Ming is so tall, coupled with his backward position, it is impossible to take the risk. This move is as difficult to defend as Nowitzki's Golden Rooster. Block from behind, otherwise it is impossible to defend at all.

The ball arced and flew over Duncan towards the hoop.

With a bang, Yao Ming scored 2 points for the Chinese team.

"Beautiful! Yao Mingwei scored the first point for the Chinese team. Good job Yao Ming!" In the live broadcast room of China Central Sports Channel, Yu Jia couldn't help shouting excitedly when he saw that the Chinese team scored the first point.

"This ball, the choice is very good. When facing Duncan, Yao Ming did not choose to play hard, but gave the ball to the outside. Du Feng was not impatient, but gave the ball to Yao Ming again. Yao Ming knew his own strength. Where is the advantage, and then turned around and shot backwards, this ball, how should I put it, the players of the Chinese team performed very well and played very reasonably." Seeing the performance of the Chinese team, Zhang Weiping made a series of comments .

Yao Ming scored the first point. Apart from making the Chinese fans excited, it did not have much impact on the coaches or players on both sides. The two sides are still playing step by step.

The US team's offense, Anthony responded from outside the three-point line, and then used Odom's pick-and-roll to go straight to the inside. On the route of the breakthrough, he saw Wade's air cut and hit the ground directly. Jumped up, at this moment, Wang Zhizhi's defense appeared in front of him.

Seeing Wang Zhizhi's defense, Wade directly changed the layup to a floater. The floater is his best offensive method and the one he is most sure of, so he is very sure of the ball.

The ball flew out of Wade's hands and headed for the basket.

But just before the basket flew to the highest point, a big hand suddenly appeared above the ball, and then slammed it down.

"Snapped!"

Yao Ming blocked Wade's toss-up in a big hot pot!

Wade was a little confused, the blocked ball bounced directly to him, and then rolled to the sophistry of Chinese player Zhu Fangyu, Zhu Fangyu took the ball and rushed forward, but at this moment Iverson had already grabbed him quickly Zhu Fangyu bumped and threw the ball to Liu Wei on the right. Liu Wei controlled the ball and quickly rushed to the backcourt of the US team.

After Anthony passed the ball, he retreated quickly. Although Liu Wei's speed was fast, Anthony was not slow. The two returned to the U.S. team's half at almost the same time.

It is well deserved to say that Liu Wei is the strongest Chinese point guard in the Yao Ming era. At his peak, he once played in the summer league with the Kings as a point guard and almost stayed. As an Asian, this is already very big Achievement, the strength is naturally there.

But in front of Anthony, this strength is obviously still a little bit worse.

At this moment, Anthony is still a big step away from Liu Wei, but when Liu Wei jumped up, he jumped up directly. Fanned towards the basket.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the ball was slapped directly on the backboard by Anthony, and Anthony slapped Liu Wei with a big hat without any politeness.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, this kind of defense is too domineering!

Anthony slapped the block, then grabbed the ball, and the moment it landed, he quickly regained control of the ball and went to the frontcourt.

At this time, the players on both sides have not yet repositioned. Anthony took advantage of the unstable defense of the Chinese team and directly broke through to the inside. Facing the defensive Du Feng, he almost crushed the three major strides. Vigorously split the buckle with one hand.

"boom!"

There was another muffled sound, Anthony defended and attacked one-stop, and directly completed this offensive and defensive transition by himself.

"Carmelo Anthony!"

The commentator at the scene shouted Anthony's name loudly. This name has been heard in this arena many times since the knockout round, and it also made the Europeans once again see the strength of the new double MVP.

"Melo's performance is very strong!" In the live broadcast room of China Central Sports Channel, Zhang Weiping saw Anthony's unreasonable attack, and forgot to say his mantra for a while, but praised Anthony directly.

Anthony didn't show too much excitement after the dunk. Judging from the first two rounds, the Chinese team's competitive state is not bad at all.

After the Chinese team's offense fell into position, this time it was Zhu Fangyu who passed the ball. He used a lob to the inside. Although the angle of the pass was much worse than that of Liu Wei, Yao Ming finally caught the ball. What did he do? He didn't make any moves, and ended the attack with a small hook. This time, Duncan didn't even make any moves, and Yao Ming scored a goal.

Duncan felt helpless when he saw Yao Ming scoring a goal. He was not a center forward, and he was facing a player who was half a head taller than Yao Ming. The latter also liked hooks and fadeaways. He was very defensive. Headache.

Looking back, in an attack by the US team, Iverson hit the iron after the pick-and-roll, and the rebound was taken by Wang Zhizhi.

The Chinese team's offense still focused on Yao Ming. This time, after Yao Ming received the ball, Odom directly defended the past.

Anthony was standing on the perimeter to defend at the moment. After seeing Odom's movement, he was startled. Odom actually advocated at this moment to flank Yao Ming without the coach's tactical arrangement. He still had time to speak. Yao Ming directly passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi who was on the outside.

The corner position is the most comfortable point for Wang Zhizhi. When he was on the Nuggets before, he didn't know how many three-pointers he made in this position, so he didn't hesitate at this moment, and shot decisively after receiving the ball .

"Approximate three-point chance!" Yu Jia shouted in the commentary room.

The ball drew a backspin arc in mid-air and flew straight towards the basket.

When Anthony saw the feeling of Wang Zhizhi's shot, he knew that the ball must have been made.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Wang Zhizhi easily hit the three-pointer.

"Good job, roughly!" Yu Jia became even more excited in the commentary room.

"Haha, generally this ball is very reasonable, very reasonable!" Zhang Weiping also said with a big smile.

The Chinese team can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations, including Anthony, who did not expect such a situation to happen. The Chinese team played the US team with a 7:2 opening.

Coach Brown on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout.

The players of the US team looked at the score on the field in frustration, and then retreated to the bench with their heads down. In the hearts of most people in the US team, it is pure luck that the Chinese team can play so far, but they did not expect to be defeated by the Chinese team at the beginning of the game. He was beaten hard.
