Chapter 441
Cousins is 2.11 meters and Hao Peng is 2.16 meters. There is a slight difference in height between the two. Judging from their body shape, Hao Peng has strong and strong muscles. In contrast, Cousins is like a fat man.
The difference in muscle ratio makes Hao Peng's weight nearly 10 kilograms lighter than Cousins, he still won't suffer losses in the confrontation. In terms of speed and explosion, Hao Peng can be described as crushing Cousins.
The two jumped the ball in the midfield. As the referee threw the basketball high into the air, Hao Peng jumped up as if he pressed a spring, and easily pushed the basketball to his side. When he touched the ball, Cousins' fingertips only reached Hao Peng's forearm position, and the gap between the two people's bounce and explosion was fully visible!
After receiving the ball, Jeremy Lin immediately dribbled through the half-court, and then stayed at the top of the three-point line, observing his teammates' positions.
In front of him was the starting point guard of the US men's basketball team Kyrie Irving. The two were in the Eastern Conference team and were very familiar with each other.
Because of this, when facing Jeremy Lin, Irving's face was full of solemnity, as if facing a great enemy.
Both of them are both the NBA No. 1 picks, but over the years, whenever the Nets play against the Cavaliers, Irving will be educated by Jeremy Lin.
There is no way, Irving's technical characteristics happened to be restrained by Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin has the upper hand in height and weight, and Jeremy Lin has overwhelmed Irving in terms of strength. Although Irving is faster than Jeremy Lin in terms of speed, he is very limited in speed. Facing this player with the best defensive team for a long time, Irving's offensive efficiency has been greatly reduced, and he cannot defend against Jeremy Lin's offense on the defensive end.
Although the Cavaliers' record of playing against each other in the Nets' Cavaliers still wins more, that's because the Cavaliers have a luxurious lineup of the Big Four, and Irving is not good enough, and James, Love, and Howard.
To be honest, in the entire league, Irving's opponent is Jeremy Lin the least willing to face. Even Paul, who is also known for his defense, will not put such great pressure on him. After all, Paul is not as tall as his strength, and his strength is far worse than Jeremy Lin...
Facing Irving, Jeremy Lin did not choose to attack by himself, but waited until Hao Peng set his position in the inside and directly hanged the ball to Hao Peng.
After receiving the pass at the low post, Hao Peng leaned against Cousins and chose to play singles without hesitation.
Among the tactics formulated by Wang Xiao, Hao Peng and Jeremy Lin have absolute ball rights, especially Hao Peng, who has David Robinson's growth template card, is the strongest offensive ability among the Chinese men's basketball team!
When both parties contacted each other, Cousins was shocked!
"What a strong power!"
Although he has a weight advantage of about 10 kilograms, he still feels that he can't stand the other person.
While secretly surprised, Cousins had to use all his strength to hold Hao Peng tightly, preventing the opponent from squeezing into the inside line.
However, at this moment, Hao Peng suddenly turned around and instantly passed Cousins and came to the basket.
As all his strength and center of gravity were pressed up, Cousins, who suddenly lost his target, staggered under his feet. It was too late to turn around and try to return to defense.
Hao Peng held the ball with one hand and dunked the basketball hard into the basket.
"boom--!"
“Beautiful job!”
"Good ball!!1"
The players on the bench of the Chinese men's basketball team couldn't help but jump up and congratulated Hao Peng loudly.
Cousins' face was slightly dark.
Although he is not a good inside line who is good at defense, his playing style is obviously strong in offense and weak in defense, he still feels a little unhappy in making his opponent score easily.
...
The United States attacked, Cousins entered the inside and immediately actively reached out to ask for the ball.
As a player of the first team of the All-A-Series last season, Cousins will not suffer any loss and remain silent.
The ball rights did not stay in Irving's hands for long. Based on his habit of dribbling in the Cavaliers, he dribbled through the half and found that he had no chance to face Jeremy Lin, Irving subconsciously passed the ball to James.
James did not stay for long after receiving the ball, and he hit the ball to Cousins.
After receiving the ball, Cousins turned his back to Hao Peng and tried to dribble and squeezed into the inside line for two steps. As a result, the opponent's lower plate was very stable and he was simply motionless.
Cousins was not fast, and it was extremely unrealistic to turn around in front of Hao Peng and cut into the basket.
After thinking for a while, Cousins suddenly lowered his body, pushed Hao Peng hard, then turned back and used a move of Nowitzki's signature golden rooster stand-alone.
Cousins is a heavy center in the NBA and rarely comes when he can't move inside, but after all, there are many talents in the NBA, and there are still some exceptions.
Whenever this happens, Cousins will use this move. Although his shooting feel is not as good as Nowitzki, he is already very gentle and stable in the inside line. This move has a good hit rate.
However, the moves that were tried and tested in the past are not very effective today.
"Bang!"
The moment the basketball shot, one palm slapped the basketball accurately and directly flew the basketball out.
It's Hao Peng!
Cousins pushed hard and failed to stop him from even a slightest. Before Cousins turned around and took action, he jumped up in advance and slapped the basketball directly!
Speed, explosion, and bounce are all weapons that Hao Peng relies on for survival on the offensive end, and are also essential for the defensive end.
The basketball was directly fanned out of the three-point line, but was intercepted by Wang Meng when he was about to go out of bounds. He did not take advantage of the fact that the American men's basketball players did not steadily to play the fast break, but protected the ball as soon as possible and handed the ball to Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin, who was in possession of the ball, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without any haste and began to organize the attack.
Slowing the pace of the game and fighting positional battles is a policy that Wang Xiao had set a long time ago. After all, in terms of speed, no team can beat the American men's basketball team, and even the current Chinese men's basketball team is not good.
Soon, the basketball was passed to Hao Peng who squeezed into the inside.
Facing Cousins' close defense, Hao Peng used the basketball several times in a row, squeezed into the basket, and then used a hook to hit the board before Durant came to double-team the basketball.
4:0!
The Chinese men's basketball team caught the US men's basketball team off guard at the beginning, and the players all had smiles on their faces.
As expected, they are the same as the coach said! They really have the strength to compete with the American men's basketball team!
But the American men's basketball team is full of solemn expressions.
Although Hao Peng's reputation has long been well known in the United States, this is the first time that the players present have seen Hao Peng's strength head-on on the court.
Although it only took less than a minute, only two offenses and one defense, what Hao Peng showed has made all NBA players feel alert.
