Back on the bench, Parker couldn't help complaining to coach Davis that the size gap between himself and Wang Zelin was too big and they didn't fit in at all... He couldn't guard him at all!
Davis, the head coach of the French team, is also an honest man. Since you said you can't guard him, let Pietrus guard him.
Pietrus was more honest and nodded without saying anything.
Does he really think of himself as Jordan?
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The French team scored a goal. Batum hit a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle. This three-pointer made the French fans at the scene finally smile.
Because so far in the game, the French team has been in a zero-blocking state. Now that the scoring drought has been broken, the French team should be able to get out of the quagmire ahead.
"Oh? The French team has adjusted its defensive strategy. They plan to use Pietrus to defend against the king." Ke Fan said.
"We saw the king started dribbling, and the king broke through. Oops, good goal, he scored again..." Sun Zhengping touched his chin. Wang Zelin looked like he was going to get high scores today?
France has nothing to do with him, no one can guard him!
In the first five minutes of the first quarter, 9 of the 13 shots taken by the Tianchao team were contributed by Wang Zelin, making 7 of 9 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus 3 of 3 free throws. In 5 minutes, Wang Zelin made 7 of 9 shots. Show off your magic and score 19 points!
When it was time for substitutions on both sides, the French team coach Davis finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Wang Zelin continued to play like this, Davis was really afraid that the French team would become a backdrop.
But wait, it seems that the Chinese team No. 20 has no intention of accepting the magical power?
For the French team, Li Muhao and Zou Yuchen were replaced on the inside, the small forward position was replaced by veteran Zhou Peng, the shooting guard was replaced by Li Gen, and Wang Zelin was still on the court.
Gobert also widened his eyes. Until now, he has barely scored 2 points and 1 rebound. His statistics are not as good as Yi Jianlian's 5 points and 2 rebounds.
If he keeps running around like this, Gobert feels that after the first quarter, he can apply to prepare for the next game in advance.
In the past half quarter, the fast-break whirlwind led by Wang Zelin made the French team unable to guard against it. Gobert, who had been running back and forth for a long time on the court, was very depressed and did not know what to do.
…
At the end of the first quarter, at 40:15, the Chinese team led the French team by a full 25 points. Among them, Wang Zelin's personal score stayed at 26 points!
horrible!
terrible!
The devil from the east went crazy today!
"26 points in the first quarter, this has already broken the Olympic single-player scoring record!"
"If this continues, I may not be able to keep my personal high of 55 points in a single Olympic game."
"Oh God! Wang Zelin today is simply the incarnation of death! It's useless for anyone to come!"
"I think we should be grateful to the Dream Team, who forced out the strongest Wang Zelin!"
During the intermission of the first quarter, the emotions of basketball fans around the world have been aroused.
Trailing by 25 points in a single quarter, Parker and Batum looked depressed and annoyed on the sidelines. They even began to wonder whether their behavior of provoking Wang Zelin before the game was inappropriate.
How should I put it? Now they feel that Wang Zelin's performance has surpassed that of any basketball player on the surface. They and Wang Zelin do not belong to the same dimension at all.
This kind of game is really disappointing.
26 points in a single quarter!
All domestic fans were in high spirits.
The same is true for the three people in the Chaotingtai live broadcast room. They even have a feeling that if Wang Zelin hadn't started to link up with his teammates in the second half of the first quarter, there is a high probability that he would have achieved the feat of 30 points in a single quarter.
Still, this was a pleasant surprise.
Listening to the explosive performance in the first quarter, domestic fans realized for the first time the value of the NBA's current No. 1 player.
If the men's basketball team can really succeed in competing for medals this year, then Wang Zelin's name can be changed again, for example - the number one basketball player in the world!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the French men's basketball team discovered in despair that the damn Chinese team No. 20 appeared on the court again with a frantic attitude.
There's no end, right?
Wang Zelin: I'm sorry, I'm stronger than you think!
When the French team attacks, the whole stadium is filled with the words "Defense" and "Defense" in Chinese... The overwhelming sound of cheering makes even the most experienced team panic.
The Tianchao team's defense was also assisting. Zhou Qi squatted inside without having to come out.
Wang Zelin's defensive coverage is too wide. Even if it is an ordinary open space, the French team players will not dare to take action easily.
Don't forget, there is no defensive three seconds in FIBA rules, so it is difficult to open up space. Wang Zelin is fully capable of achieving partial one-to-two defense.
In other words, in the international arena, his defensive ability is even better than in the NBA.
Although Zhou Qi is not good at attacking, his static physical talent is there, and it is completely a gate to get in. Whoever dares to come in, he is likely to immediately contribute a hit.
In his previous life, Zhou Qi's greatest strategic significance to the men's basketball team was defense.
It can be said that Zhou Qi's defensive coverage and ability to block shots and protect the basket demonstrated in the international arena are absolutely the first in the history of men's basketball.
Coupled with the defensive capabilities of Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang, and Zhai Xiaochuan, the defensive intensity displayed by China's top five players on the court can be called a meat grinder.
At this time, Parker, who was in charge of the game, made the right decision, which was to call Ding Yanyuhang singles after the pick-and-roll. From the perspective of the lineup, Ding Yanyuhang was indeed the weakest link in China's defense.
But here's the problem... Zhou Qi was like a white jade pillar in the penalty area, occupying a lot of space. Parker didn't dare to risk a layup.
So he chose to take a half-shot shot.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that the Chinese team also had a super defensive monster.
"Snapped!"
Parker missed half of the basket and was unexpectedly slapped away by Wang Zelin, sending him off the court.
The French team reorganized their attack.
The penalty area was crowded into a pot of porridge, and Parker didn't dare to go inside. He hesitated for a moment, and there was not much time. He aimed at Batum who ran out of the space and made a cross pass...
"Snapped!"
It's that familiar figure again, and it's that damn No. 20 of the Chinese team.
Wang Zelin completed his third steal of the game and quickly started a one-stop fast break.
Just after halftime, a familiar scene happened. He took three steps directly, went to the basket and completed a one-arm split dunk.
"Fuck!"
"I'll choke you!"
"It's so annoying. Is this really an action that humans can complete?"
"Speaking of which, if Cao Zhi had these steps back then, he would not need seven steps to complete a poem!"
"..."
Seeing that the men's basketball team's advantage is getting bigger and bigger, the fans on the domestic hotline have long lost their nervousness before the game and started bragging and spanking.
At the same time, Wang Zelin continued his brutal attacks on the court.
The French team was completely shutout in the first few rounds, and the men's basketball team launched a new round of fierce attack.
On the court, Wang Zelin showed off the butterfly step like a magic trick. He seemed to be able to cast a spell. The whole set of actions was completed in an instant. He seemed to have cast a spell on Gobert, who was guarding him alone:
"As you wish, as I wish, fall down quickly!"
Gobert fell to the ground in response, becoming the first player to be knocked to the ground by Wang Zelin in international competitions in recent years.
Oh my God, the seven-foot center evolved into an ankle-killer?
Boss, please take away your magical powers!
