Chapter 1287 Deduction, Deduction
Although Metu also played in the NBA, he spent most of his time in the Development League and only played in the NBA for one year.
There are so many players in the NBA, and he has never played against him on the court, so it's normal not to know.
But after such words are released by the media, the taste is completely different.
In particular, media writers are basically at the UC level.
"They both play in the NBA but say they don't know each other? In the eyes of our opponents, the only Chinese team is Tang Tian."
"Strength depends on playing? Our opponents admit that they don't know Yi Jianlian and Ding Yanyuhang, let alone who Wang Zhelin and Abdul Saramu are."
"Yi Jianlian and Ding Yanyuhang were ignored? Only by working harder can Chinese players be recognized by their opponents."
...
When these news headlines are released, the taste is completely different.
And now the information is abundant, the pre-match interviews, even before the start of the game, have already been uploaded on the Internet.
In forums and on Weibo, Chinese fans are already filled with righteous indignation.
You must know that before the game, the fans are extremely eager for the victory of this game, it is just a piece of dry grass.
This kind of news is like fanning the flames, and it becomes a prairie fire at once.
After the warm-up, the scene entered the appearance ceremony, and the players of the two teams appeared one after another.
The Chinese team is still touching the head to kill.
Practice makes perfect. After many games of experience, the speed of the Chinese team members lining up and bowing their heads has greatly improved.
When Tang Tian reached the bottom, the fans were extremely excited.
This belief that once belonged to the Pelicans and Pelicans fans has now been fully passed on to the Chinese team and Chinese fans.
After the appearance ceremony, the starters of the two teams were released one after another.
The Chinese team has made adjustments to the starting lineup. Tang Tian and Ding Yanyuhang are still on the outside, Abdul Saramu and Yi Jianlian are on the front line, and Wang Zhelin is the center.
The Nigerian team has good physical fitness, and this change is to better protect the penalty area.
On the Nigeria side, Ben Youzo and Josh Okogie on the outside, Aminu on the striker, Udo and Metu on the inside.
Among the five starters, Yuzo and Udo are all former NBA players, and Okogie, Metu and Aminu are all active NBA players.
Okogie and Aminu are NBA starters.
This Nigerian team is in great shape.
Wang Zhelin and Metu jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Metu jumped into the air with his spring legs, and directly returned the ball to the Nigeria team's half.
This bounces a little better.
The Nigerian team took the lead in getting the chance to attack.
The Chinese team put up a 2-3 zone defense as soon as they came up.
Li Chunjiang had a lot of communication with Tang Tian before the game, and he was prepared for the game.
These NBA players in the Nigerian team basically have no outside ability, including Youzo and Okogie, all of which are breakthrough.
Nigeria poured the ball around outside, and finally Aminu made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
"Boom!"
The basketball hits the hoop.
When he was in the Pelicans, Aminu was given up because of unstable three-pointers. After that, he moved to multiple teams, and his skill has not improved much.
However, the insider Meitu soared into the sky, and Wang Zhelin had an offensive rebound on the top of Wang Zhelin's head, and he was about to dunk in the next second.
This bullet speed is pretty good.
Wang Zhelin stood still and stretched out his hand to block the shot, and Yi Jianlian also quickly came to help defend.
Facing the two defenses, Metu's castration remained undiminished.
"Boom!"
Amidst the exclamation of the fans at the scene, Metu smashed the ball into the basket directly across Wang Zhelin and Yi Jianlian.
After the dunk, Mei Tu roared at Wang Zhelin and Yi Jianlian.
This is the excitement at the beginning!
There was an uproar at the scene.
Su Qun and Zhang Weiping in the commentary were silent for a moment.
This animal-like physique...
The Nigeria team's bench was boiling, and the dunks of this level in the opening game had a great bonus to the team's morale.
"Slot! King, slot!"
Li Chunjiang exhaled fragrance from the sidelines and shouted at Wang Zhelin on the court.
The Chinese team's offense, Tang Tian's three-person double team scored the ball to Abdul Saramu in the bottom corner, and the latter's three-pointer missed a bit.
Metu protected the defensive rebound, and the Nigerian team turned around and played a fast break.
Aminu catches the ball quickly and goes to the frontcourt against Wang Zhelin's defense.
Then, when no one expected it, he suddenly jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket directly across Wang Zhelin.
Wang Zhelin didn't even have time to raise his hand.
"Boom!"
In the incredible eyes of the fans, Aminu directly dunked Wang Zhelin!
The scene was restless.
The two dunks in the opening game were brutal, and the Nigerian team gave the Chinese team a severe blow.
Wang Zhelin's expression was a little helpless. First he was dunked by the center, and now he was dunked by the small forward. This is the background board made of iron.
Li Chunjiang also realized that Wang Zhelin's confrontation was a problem, and without hesitation, he turned around and called Shen Zijie up, asking him to replace Wang Zhelin.
Tang Tian held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, then changed direction and made a breakthrough.
The Nigerian team went directly to the four-man defense!
Except for Yudo at the basket, everyone else is up!
As Metu said in the interview before the game, they only knew Tang Tian.
Abdul Saramu missed a three-pointer in front of him, which made them even more unscrupulous.
Tang Tian's four-man double team scored the ball to Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc.
Yi Jianlian had a chance to shoot a three-pointer, and he shot directly without hesitation.
The fans at the scene, including Li Chunjiang who was standing on the sidelines, stared straight at the basketball spinning in the air.
There is a big difference between making this three-pointer or not.
If not, Nigeria's double-teaming of Tang Tian would only be even crazier.
"Shua!"
With a crisp sound, Yi Jianlian's three-pointer went into the net.
One word, steady!
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Li Chunjiang also waved his fist vigorously.
This three-pointer is crucial.
Tang Tian just stepped back and pointed at Yi Jianlian.
During the previous training, he had already felt Yi Jianlian's fiery touch in advance.
That's why he just passed on Yi Jianlian instead of Ding Yan Yuhang.
Facts have proved that his judgment is also correct.
Nigeria's offense, Okogie and Udo rushed to the basket after the pick-and-roll.
Shen Zijie was also a bit unbearable, but he was indeed stronger than Wang Zhelin in confrontation, and Okoji could only shoot with a rebound if he couldn't get up.
Okogie showed his talent with this ball, showing a soft touch when hitting the board at close range, and the ball wiped the basket and entered the net.
6 to 3.
The Nigerian team got off to a strong start.
Tang Tian took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to break through, and the Nigerian team continued to double-team.
But after Yi Jianlian made the goal just now, their double-teaming was obviously not as firm as before.
Tang Tian saw the opportunity, turned around and leaned back towards the bottom line.
"Shua!"
The posture is picturesque, and the ball follows the hollow pocket.
5 to 6.
"Defend! Defend!"
Going back to the defensive end, the fans at the scene began to cheer for the Chinese team.
Okogie continued to break through with the ball, still misplaced and hit Shen Zijie, and it was still a wipeout after the confrontation.
But this time, right after he shot, a big hand came over him.
"boom!"
A pegboard hat!
Yi Jianlian!
The scene burst into cheers.
This pegboard hat boosts morale!
Moreover, after Yi Jianlian blocked the shot, he quickly grabbed the defensive rebound, turned around and gave it to Tang Tian.
The Chinese team launched a fast break directly.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball behind Okogie, and went to the frontcourt against Aminu's defense.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Yi Jianlian was playing fast, and he didn't force it, but directly slammed the ball back.
Yi Jian connected the ball, and Aminu squeezed past Tang Tian to block the shot, but it was too late.
Yi Jianlian spread his wings and soared into the air with one hand.
"Boom!"
In the excited eyes of the fans, Yi Jianlian smashed the ball into the basket through Aminu!
In the front, Aminu dunked Wang Zhelin, Yi Jianlian dunked dunks, and they came back!
