Chapter 15 The Star of Tomorrow
Brezek used his height (2.18 meters) to bring the team the ball to the start, but unfortunately he was wasted by Papalucas' unswerving three-pointer.
On the Raptors, they gave the Greeks a large space.
The Greeks believed that this was an insult to him. The proud Greek hero was never humiliated. He decisively shot an unstable three-pointer, but ended up sweeping the basket.
The Raptors wanted to fight back, but their abacus was good, but they didn't expect Papalucas to retreat so quickly
Papalucas' opponent is a undrafted draft like him, named Geroni Pago. Pago is also a undrafted draft. Pago is much younger than him and knows how to judge the situation better. Who will play high-intensity defense in the summer league? You don't have to watch the ratings organizers and the audience wants to buy tickets.
So the Greeks' foul was eaten without any suspense.
The harsh whistle made Papalucas convinced that it was not suitable for intensity on the defensive end tonight. The game started again, and Pago called on Milicic to cover the high post.
Xie Hou wanted to go up and stop him, but he was being pestered by the black forward who looked down on others, Jeromi Mosoi, who did not say it clearly.
Xie Hou's body has reached the adult level, but Mosoi is a standard swingman with a fourth position with a strong ability to confront and cannot be underestimated. Xie Hou can only watch Milicic go outside to pick-and-roll, cut inside, and eat their Slovenian brothers by relying on speed.
Brezek had no choice. He was also a seven-foot-long man. Milicic's speed made them look like a tortoise and hare race (Miliic is a rabbit who doesn't have to be proud and complacent).
"Primoz, if you are a Postojna, you should play back." Xie Hou shouted, slapped the ball.
The Slovenian silly man roared: "Give me the damn ball!"
Moso Ibn wanted to press Xie Hou in the frontcourt, but he couldn't figure out the opponent's level. If Xie Hou was really a tall ball holder, he would most likely lose his defensive position if he did this.
No matter how you look at it, it is not a good deal.
He felt more and more unhappy when he remembered the Serbian swearing at him. No matter what achievements the other party has made in Europe, it is not the case in the United States. In the past, present and future, there are mostly European kings who are defeated in the NBA, and the same is true for this damn European Emperor Star.
Thinking of this, Mosuoyi was about to give Xie Hou an embarrassing confrontation.
As a result, Xie Hou started to hang the ball to the Slovenian who wanted to live in the position.
Before Mosoi could react, Xie Hou had already run into the line from the outside. He looked at Brezek. He knew that this big guy had no delicate skills, and it was an unrealistic hope to rely on him to be colored.
Brezek roared fiercely, although he was tough, he could not change his true nature. Facing Milicic, who was younger than him and thinner than him, he did not show the momentum of trying to kill the opponent alive, and was worried that he would be blocked by the young man behind him and actually used the Slovenian water hook.
It's a ballistic that you won't get into at first sight.
"rebound!"
Everyone roared, but a figure in the crowd, which was slightly thinner than the inside player, jumped up on the ground. He was not the tallest one, but the fastest one.
"What an offensive rebound!" As soon as Walton finished speaking, the man was still in the air, Xie Hou made a tip-in shot.
"Swish!"
2 to 2
King Arthur landed, and did not take Milicic behind him seriously. He focused on the Mosoi who looked down on him at the opening and said arrogantly: "NBA is nothing great."
The sun's pursuit was also fierce.
The competition in the United States is indeed completely different from that in Europe.
In Europe, Xie Hou could not imagine that the pace of the game would be so fast. As soon as they stepped back, the group of people were in place, Papalucas gave him some room, and the undraft guard who seemed to have no offensive threat pulled up and shot three-pointers.
Xie Hou immediately entered the inside line to get stuck, but unfortunately the ball did not fly to him this time, even if he couldn't move Mosoika.
Mosoi gradually realized how stupid he was to look down on Xie Hou, an all-around super rookie who was comparable to LeBron James.
He realized this (don't he thinks it's a bit late).
The ball was pointed out by the young and energetic Milici from the free throw line and just fell into the hands of the Suns.
It was the undrafted defender again. Xie Hou suddenly exerted his strength and turned Mosuoyi to the ground. It was obvious that the opponent was more than ten pounds heavier than him.
Mosoi fell down, Xie Hou quickly expanded outward, and the assisted defense was astonishingly fast. Albert on the scene shouted: "Arthur is such a big decathlon spider!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the undrafted draft named Pago scored a jump shot against a strong interference.
4 to 2
This is the personal ability of the American defender, and it is also what European defenders generally lack.
The sun quickly retreated, and Xie Hou's confrontation angered Mosuoyi.
Even if you are a superstar, you can't ravage people like this. This time you must make you look good.
Xie Hou dribbled the ball from the backcourt and saw Mosoi in the midfield preparing to make things difficult for him. The two soon met each other, but the result was not as beautiful as Mosoi imagined.
Xie Hou dribbled the ball in two steps and arrived at the logo. Mosuoyi was about to stick it up to fight, but he used a dazzling move in the speed of the journey. When he moved in, he changed hands and dribbled Mosuoyi fiercely from the front. Mosuoyi, who could not find the match, not only pushed the air, but also posed a stumbling point by Xie Hou as a fulcrum, and his body flew out of bounds. The fans at the scene exclaimed.
Step 4: Xie Hou arrived in the three-point line and directly collected the ball. The two non-human strides exceeded the opponent's imagination. It was Milicic's instinctive reaction to open his hands to defend.
His instincts made his hands high.
Then what? Xie Hou changed his right hand to the left hand to pick the basket and scored.
“!%!!@#¥”
"The strongest player outside the NBA has finally let us see his strength!" Albert said excitedly. "No, I want to correct my words. Even in the NBA, he is one of the strongest players. Don't treat him as a rookie. He has the ability to fight at the All-Star level, and he will shock the whole United States!"
Walton said: "I thought we would never let young people know how the Magicians play!"
Half a minute later, Walton said another famous commentary, which was later cited by countless football experts: "If you want young people to know how the magician plays, pointing Arthur to him will be the answer!"
One tip-in, the other forced a positional battle into a fast break and a violent layup.
Some people have seen it, while others have not yet had time to accept this fact.
