king of defenders

Chapter 1496 Brother Antetokounmpo and Brother Antetokounmpo

The Chinese team here.

Guidance Gong is not worried about the attitude and fighting spirit of the players, and went straight to the point: "The opponent's players are relatively good in physical fitness, and their strength is not bad. But the most important thing is Antetokounmpo. Forget it, let's call him Brother Antetokounmpo. .”

This made everyone laugh.

Director Gong straightened his face, and everyone immediately became respectful. He continued: "The most important thing on the defensive end is to defend Brother Antetokounmpo." Then, he looked at Xiang Long, "Xiang Long, try your best to defend, it doesn't matter if you can't defend, Just be careful not to foul easily."

Xiang Long nodded.

Director Gong said again: "This is an international arena. It is very difficult for Antetokounmpo to play like in the NBA. You have also seen it just now. He is practicing three-pointers all the time. It is obvious that he will definitely choose outside shooting in the next game. Then we won’t let him do what he wants. Later, Xiang Long, post a little more, don’t give him an easy chance to make a move, and force him to break through.”

"Alian, you have to pay attention to supplementary defense. Others should also pay attention to assisting defense. It is difficult for us to defend Antetokounmpo one by one, but it doesn't matter. We can assist in defense and double-team. If Antetokounmpo plays in the low post, then Let’s help defend immediately.”

Because the Greek team has only one star, Antetokounmpo, the strength of the others is much worse than him, and the threat is also much lower. Even if it is because of double-teaming Antetokounmpo and missing a certain Greek team player, the problem will not be particularly big.

At least compared to the threat of Antetokounmpo, it is acceptable to miss others and give other members of the Greek team a chance.

This is where Director Gong’s confidence lies. The Chinese team has Meng Yun and Xiang Long. Meng Yun is a superstar, and Xiang Long is also an NBA All-Star player. The Greek team has no one who can match them except Antetokounmpo. So if the Greek team double-teamed Meng Yun, then Xiang Long would be able to hit them in pain, and if they double-teamed Xiang Long, then Meng Yun would make their scalps tingle even more.

There are two stars on my side, and the Greek team will take huge risks if they double-team any of them, and it may even be fatal.

The Greek team has only one star, but the Chinese team dares to double-team Antetokounmpo. Of course, there are risks, but it is fatal.

This is the advantage of the Chinese team.

Of course, the Greek team also has advantages, that is, role players and substitute lineup, and their role players and substitute lineup are due to the Chinese team.

In fact, among the strong teams, the Chinese team has the worst role players and substitute lineup.

"beep"

Game start.

The Greek team got the ball, and they sent a starting lineup headed by Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo naturally played against Xiang Long, and Meng Yun played against Nick Calathes.

Nick Calathes is 31 years old. He is considered a veteran. He briefly played for the NBA Grizzlies and now plays for the Greek Basketball Club. He is one of the best players in the European arena. He won the 2013 European Cup Basketball league mvp.

Meng Yun greeted Calathes. After all, Calathes was a seasoned veteran. He was not nervous and looked calm. He carefully protected the basketball. When he saw Antetokounmpo open his hand, he passed the ball.

The other players of the Greek team opened up and opened up space for Antetokounmpo to play singles.

At this time, the Greek team's most effective style of play, Antetokounmpo's personal ability is too good, he can score by himself, and can also attract a lot of defensive attention, so that his teammates get opportunities, so he naturally became the offensive team of the Greek team Initiation point.

Brother Antetokounmpo stood outside the three-point line, pinched the ball around his waist, glanced at the situation on the field, and then his eyes fell on Xiang Long. Their eyes collided, and invisible sparks burst out.

After pondering for a while, Brother Antetokounmpo decided to play one first, but Xiang Long defended very high, so Brother Antetokounmpo chose to break through, first dribbling the ball continuously under the crotch, and then suddenly accelerated.

Antetokounmpo has the height and physical fitness of an insider, but he has excellent ball-handling skills and breakthrough skills, which are comparable to the speed, agility, and explosive power of outside players.

This allows Antetokounmpo to break through like a defender, as fast as a cheetah. There is a clear gap between Xiang Long's speed and him. In addition, in order to limit Antetokounmpo's shooting, he defends relatively forward, and he is too late to preemptively get stuck. Brother pass.

Yi Jianlian was mentally prepared and moved forward to defend immediately.

Suddenly, Brother Antetokounmpo passed the ball to the right, and a figure took advantage of Yi Jianlian to defend and slipped in from the bottom line on the right. After receiving the pass from Brother Antetokounmpo, he jumped up and dunked with both hands. The quality is top-notch, and the basketball hoop is creaking.

"Huh"

There was a burst of exclamation in the audience, but they didn't expect that there would be a dunk at the beginning.

This dunk came from Antetokounmpo, of course not Antetokounmpo, but Antetokounmpo and his brother-Thanasis-Antetokounmpo.

Thanasis is two years older than Antetokounmpo, but his height is much shorter than Antetokounmpo, only 198 cm. He serves as a small forward and currently plays for the Bucks, on the same team as Antetokounmpo. The status of the team is far from that of Antetokounmpo.

However, the two are brothers after all. They grew up together and were on the same team. They have a good understanding with each other. Therefore, the Greek coach let Thanasis start the game. Able to be Antetokounmpo's wingman.

This offense is a manifestation of the tacit understanding between the two. All the other players on the Greek team pulled away. Antetokounmpo made it clear that he wanted to play singles. Only Thanasis sneaked over from the bottom line, relying on the tacit understanding between the two. Nice fit.

"Wait and watch the bottom line." Meng Yun shouted.

The teammates nodded, and the Chinese team fought back.

Meng Yun came to the frontcourt, and Calathes came forward to meet him. He was very experienced. In order to limit Meng Yun's shots, he defended a little bit forward, but not much, and turned his body sideways, which made it easier for him to retreat. When Meng Yun broke through, he was able to retreat immediately.

Seeing this situation, Meng Yun smiled calmly. The opponent is very experienced in defense, but it's a pity that he underestimated his own speed and defended sideways. What if I change direction?

Whoosh!
Meng Yun changed direction suddenly, very fast.

Calathes is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart and experienced. He turned his body sideways to face Meng Yun's hand holding the ball, because Meng Yun must break through to the side holding the ball. For example, Meng Yun wants to break through from the right side. If he breaks through, the ball must be in his right hand. If he breaks through from the left, the basketball must be switched to his left hand. During this process, Calathes will immediately adjust his body and change the direction of his sideways.

However, he underestimated the speed of Meng Yun's change of direction. Meng Yun's change of direction was too fast, like changing shape and changing shadows. He hadn't adjusted the direction of his sideways. , and passed Calathis clean.
