223 for the most fatal weakness!
"How to fight here?"
Before the game, Zhou Si looked at Senegal's lineup and was a little worried.
I don’t even know a single player!
After asking the team leader for the Chinese version of the roster, Zhou Si confirmed it and found that he really didn’t know any of the players.
Thinking that such a team can reach the knockout rounds, while the Chinese team in the previous life did not even qualify for this World Cup, it is really a dark age...
Senegal played very tough from the beginning of this game, interfering with several outside shots and air cuts of the Chinese team, and destroying several Zhou Si's assists.
If their offense had not been restricted by the Chinese team, the Chinese team might have dug a hole for themselves from the beginning!
On the court, Zhou Si was silent for a moment and pressed the singles button.
"Shua——!"
"Shua——!"
"Shua——!"
Three three-pointers, no false starts!
Are you so uncooperative with us in our tactics?
Then don't blame me!
After playing six minutes, Zhou Si came off the court early to rest. At this time, the score on the court had reached 16:7, with the Chinese team leading by 9 points.
Director Zhang couldn’t help but said:
"In this kind of game, last Xiaozhou was bullying others!"
Emmm...not only the fans were confused, but the commentators were also confused.
Next, Zhou Si did not play, allowing his teammates to gain experience.
After experiencing the training of the group of death, the young players of the Chinese team are obviously much more comfortable facing such players of a lower level.
Although there are still phenomena of stagnant passing and hesitant shots, it is so much better than it was more than a month ago.
The highlight of this game occurred in the third quarter, when Zhou Si, who had returned from a break, took up position 4 to guard the penalty area.
After observing the game for half of the game, Zhou Si found that Senegal's outside offense was mediocre, and if they strangled the inside, their offense would be completely unable to open up.
"Snapped--!"
When Daye, who did not believe in evil, attacked the Chinese team's penalty area, Zhou Si directly sent him a big block!
Under the basket, Dalmeida pushed past Zhou Qi to grab the offensive rebound, then raised the ball high and prepared to take action.
"Snapped--!"
Hot pot two-hit combo from Zhou Si!
The basketball was shot directly off the court by Zhou Si!
If Zhou Si, who can withstand the Spurs' impact, is bullied in the paint by such an unknown player, he will not only be sorry for himself but also sorry for the Spurs!
"Two big shots in 4 seconds!
My God, Zhou Si is like a giant pillar guarding the penalty area of the Chinese team!"
Seeing Zhou Si's wonderful performance on the court with two blood caps, even Zhou Si's old fan Ke Fan couldn't help but sigh.
Isn’t this too relieving?
The Senegalese players on the opposite side looked stunned!
Although the inside line was completely suppressed, the Senegalese players did not completely give up the game, but made tenacious resistance again and again!
Coming from Africa, they are not spoiled wimps.
As the Senegalese players made bigger and smaller moves, the game became more and more intense.
The physical confrontation and trash talk developed into the later shoving and shouting matches.
In the third quarter, both sides received a total of 5 technical fouls!
The referees can only adjust the center again and again.
"Oh, Senegal cannot afford to lose!"
Director Zhang said disdainfully.
Ke Fan, who has always been passionate, was thoughtful,
"It was probably the ESPN report that played a role.
Several conflicts in Senegal were directed against Zhou Si, and they wanted to take Zhou Si off the field."
Director Zhang nodded repeatedly when he heard this. If he thought about it carefully, it was really like this.
Then he became a little worried.
After all, Zhou Si's violent temper will definitely explode if he is really provoked!
Fortunately, Zhou Si didn't break out until the game was over, but the fans had a layer of worry in their hearts.
Zhou Si held back in this game, what about the next game, the next game, the next game?
However, no matter what, the Chinese team has taken the lead in locking in a place in the top eight!
Happy continuation!
Unlike the previous chants of "Even if you lose, it's not a loss", now Chinese men's basketball fans have fallen in love with the feeling of winning.
…
The Chinese team won, and the U.S. team followed suit, defeating neighboring Mexico 87:62 and advancing to the quarterfinals.
The best performer in this game was Curry. His three-point shooting was completely open and he hit 7 three-pointers in a single game!
In the third quarter, Curry hit five three-pointers, and it rained three-pointers all by himself!
Netizens exclaimed:
"That familiar pervert must be back!"
In the first few games after coming to Spain, Curry's touch was not good, but it is obvious that after adjustments, his feeling has recovered.
As the biggest opponent in this World Cup, Zhou Si also watched the live broadcast of this game.
Unlike the fans, he went there with the purpose of finding loopholes.
I gained a lot from watching Zhou Si!
The American team played a wonderful game, but it could not hide their most fatal weakness——
The inside strength is too weak!
Gustavo Ayon, the captain of Mexico and playing for the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA, performed brilliantly. He scored 22 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the game. He alone made the U.S. interior line lose its temper.
The Mexican team strengthened its defense in this game, preventing the U.S. team from launching its best fast break and dragging the game into a positional battle.
It was at this time that the young insiders of the American team exposed their most fatal weakness:
On the offensive end, he is not good at positional warfare, has no back-up attack, and is physically weak;
On the defensive end, the young players on the American team were shaken by Ayon's continuous inside moves.
Mexico captain Ayon used his strong body and solid inside footwork to continuously destroy the US team's insiders. In the first quarter of the game, the young Davis received his second personal foul early and was taken off the court.
Reluctantly, American coach Old K sent Cousins, a strong substitute inside player, to play, hoping that he could restrain Ayon. However, the young Kings center was shaken by the inside steps of the Eagles substitute center and received two fouls in a row.
In the second quarter of the game, Ayong continued to show off his power, first using his body to block the inside position, then shaking continuously and then turning around and hitting a layup, and then scored a dunk in a fast break.
In the first half alone, Ayon was able to get everything the U.S. team asked of him inside, scoring 12 points.
On the offensive end, the American insiders have no temper, and on the defensive end, Ayon is also an insurmountable barrier for the American insiders.
Before the end of the first quarter, DeRozan's buzzer-beating throw after breaking through the paint was ruthlessly slapped away by Ayong.
The thin Davis couldn't squeeze Ayon, and the short Farid was covered by Ayon's height.
In the whole game, "Big Eyebrow Brother" Davis, as the inside core of this US men's basketball team, only scored 4 points.
In this game, Zhou Si’s thinking is very open. It is not impossible to defeat this remnant American team!
With this in mind, Zhou Si continued to study the video of the US team's group stage match.
Since ESPN has ranked you in second place, then you just have to be the runner-up this year!
Chapter completed!
