Chapter 918 Unexpected Collapse
"Awesome!" The entire Chinese bench stood up to celebrate. This opening was definitely an imperial opening!
Yunus also gave Ji Feng a thumbs up with satisfaction. Although he arranged such tactics, such a start was really a bit dreamy.
The audience was also ignited. Hitting consecutive three-pointers at the beginning was very helpful in improving morale!
On the other hand, the Greek players were beaten a little confused. You have to know that if you shrink the defense, you are not afraid of you attacking me one by one, but you are afraid that the opponent will open up from the outside. Three-pointers one after another will be too harmful to morale, and will also make their subsequent defense If they waver, should they shrink? !
"Concentrate, concentrate! It doesn't matter, the game has just begun!" Papalukas looked at his teammates who were a little confused, clapped his hands and shouted, and by the way, he stepped forward and patted Vassilopoulos. She put her back to show comfort and said to him: "Tighten it! That guy has a good touch, don't tighten it too much!"
Papalukas still has a keen sense of smell. He felt that the two attacks of the Chinese team were not a coincidence, but more like a pre-arrangement. The two attacks by Yao just looked like they were going to do it alone, more like He has to attract defenders and double-teams, otherwise he is a super center who can use a variety of offensive methods to complete shots at that position, and the pass is too stable. After all, it is too rare for a center to get two assists in the opening game in this era. .
So he asked Vassilopoulos to stay close to Ji Feng and not give Ji Feng another chance to shoot a three-pointer!
But it’s not that easy!
Ji Feng, who has experienced many battles, knows that hitting two goals in a row is a critical point. As long as he scores a few more goals like this, the string in the hearts of Greek players will be easily broken. In this way, the Greek defensive system will have The opportunity completely collapsed!
Therefore, after Greece once again scored a goal from Papalokas from a mid-range shot, Ji Feng was extremely determined to get the ball. Naturally, Vasilopoulos did not dare to be careless. He kept trying to use his long arms to cause trouble for Ji Feng.
But Ji Feng is naturally not affected. Ji Feng has not been intercepted in many games. Even if he faces a first-class steal master, Ji Feng is sure to control the ball in his own hands!
At the top of the arc, Vassilopoulos used fluent Greek English to disturb Ji Feng, but Ji Feng was not affected at all because he really didn't understand. At this time, Dayao raised his head and at the same time roughly pulled him out. , looking like he was going to block Ji Feng.
"Defend! Keep up! Don't switch defenses!" the Greek head coach yelled from the sidelines. This pick-and-roll is also the thing they prepare the most for defense.
Ji Feng and Dayao will have many ways to play pick-and-rolls at the top of the arc. Ji Feng can use the pick-and-roll to get inside to score or kill the inside. He can also choose to attract the defense to complete the ball. Dayao's mid-range shot is enough to cover the top of the arc. Any point on the free throw line is also the biggest threat to the Ji-Yao combination.
But this time, Ji Feng just took advantage of the moment when Dayao came up and walked directly to the right. The moment he scored a three-pointer, he jumped out of the three-point line, and then opened his hand for a three-pointer!
Step back jumper three-pointer!
The basketball flew through the air again and landed accurately!
"Wow oh oh oh~~~" The fans went completely crazy!
"Damn, this kid really doesn't give face at all. These three points are a knife in the heart of the Greeks, especially Spanoulis." Old coach K watched with great interest in the stands, but he didn't expect the opening of the game. That's how cool it is.
Spanoulis, who was sitting on the bench and didn't know he was hit by an arrow in the knee, covered his forehead. Sure enough, his premonition before the game was right. It seems that the Chinese team has completely changed their tactics this time. This was all about asking Ji Feng to play from the outside, and all their defensive preparations were in vain!
"Got it again! A step-back three-pointer! Ji Feng started his personal attack mode at the beginning and hit three three-pointers in a row! Amazing!" Yang Yi said excitedly.
"Greece needs to adjust. Ji Feng is not a soft-hearted person. He is a player who hit 11 three-pointers in a single game in the finals." Yu Jia also said happily beside him.
Greece has not yet adjusted. They continued to organize attacks and were hit by three-pointers in a row, which made the Greek players a little anxious. They also wanted to retaliate with three-pointers!
Papalukas broke through and scored the ball, and Vasilopoulos from the outside received the ball and hit Ji Feng's defense for a three-pointer!
The idea is good, but his three-point ability has not reached this level. Under Ji Feng's eye-catching defense, his shot was exchanged for a strike and a rebound from Dayao!
In turn, the Chinese team advanced, and as soon as Ji Feng caught the ball from the outside, the Greek players quickly made up for it. Ji Feng calmly distributed the ball, and the wing roughly caught the ball and easily scored two points!
11-4, the Chinese team had a small climax!
The Greek head coach hurriedly called a timeout. Ji Feng's three three-pointers made him and the Greek team very uncomfortable. This was not only because their defense needed to change, but because if the three-pointers were opened, they would be too passive!
Anyone who watches basketball knows the power of three-pointers. Although everyone likes to play inside now, once a team opens the three-point line, it is definitely a terrifying thing.
This is especially true for Greece, because as we all know, although Greece is a team with a perimeter as its core, their perimeter play is resolute and sharp breakthroughs and distribution. As for three-pointers, Spanoulis hit a three-pointer last season. The shooting rate is as high as 20.1%. Even in China, the three-point shooting rate has never been less than 40%. Others are similar...
So they can hardly fight three-pointers with three-pointers!
"Expand the defense! Don't let Ji Feng take shots easily! Keep the intensity of defense inside and be more decisive on the offensive end! Hit the ball inside!" the Greek head coach roared. He didn't believe it. Ji Feng could keep scoring!
For the first goal back, Papalukas carried the explosive bag and went in to kill, but Sun Yue's body was not very disadvantaged, so he made Papalukas very slow, which directly caused him to face the opponent three steps later. A giant man appeared!
Dayao!
A big wave of your hand!
Blocked!
"Greece played too easily! They were too anxious. Something would happen if they played like this." ESPN commentator said bluntly.
This is also true!
The Greek sideline ball came out, and it was very simple. After passing it once, he wanted to take a shot. Bolossis made an unreliable mid-range shot, and Ji Feng collected the rebound!
After dribbling slowly for half the court, Ji Feng suddenly picked up his speed, passed Vasilopoulos in one step, and went inside for a dunk!
Greece’s interior defense is useless!
"It's over." Kobe curled his lips, Greece had been completely tricked.
"Reminds me of the day before yesterday." Gasol shook his head and mourned for Greece, but the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed his heart.
Things developed just as Kobe predicted. The anxious Greece seemed eager to get back on track, but their hasty offense and disorganized defense meant that not only did they fail to get back to their disadvantage, but the Chinese team kept seizing opportunities to counterattack!
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 26-14, and the Chinese team won by as many as 12 points in a single quarter!
Greece is in a bit of a meltdown!
