Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Qin Hao, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Zhaoxu, five players walked onto the court, opposite the five starters of the Philippine team. Compared with the Chinese team, their height was a lot shorter.

There are only three players in the Philippine team who are over two meters tall. The starting lineup they sent today is center Marcus Dorset (height 210cm), power forward Kelly Williams (height 199cm), and small forward Mani El-Basekal (188cm tall), shooting guard Christopher Lutz (178cm tall), and point guard Ke-Andy Barroca (176cm tall).

Only one of the five starters is over 2 meters tall, and the two defenders are less than 1.8 meters tall. Compared with the Chinese team, the gap is huge.

Last season, Philippine League MVP Jim Arapag was not in the starting lineup, which shows how much the Philippine team relies on naturalized players.

Jump ball first.

Zhang Zhaoxu's height of 221 centimeters is there, which is more than ten centimeters taller than Dorset. He easily slaps the ball to the backcourt, and Qin Hao controls the ball to advance quickly.

Coming to the frontcourt, the players of the Philippine team rushed up.

"Heh." Qin Hao looked at the Philippine team's defender Barocca in front of him and couldn't help laughing. The coach seemed to say that we should shoot more three-pointers?

The person defending himself was more than twenty centimeters shorter than him. Qin Hao felt that if he didn't make more three-pointers, even if the coach didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

"Pull it off."

Qin Hao made a gesture, and his teammates pulled away.

Seeing this situation, Barocca's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his center of gravity, staring at Qin Hao's shoulder. Facing Qin Hao, he had to be nervous. Where is each other's strength, plus the disadvantage of height, the game has just begun. , sweat was dripping from his forehead.

The teammates also knew that he couldn't stop Qin Hao, so Qi Qi moved closer.

The next moment, Qin Hao lowered his center of gravity, suddenly took a step forward, broke through from the right side, and Baroka quickly retreated. But at this moment, Qin Hao dribbled the ball from behind, pulled the ball back, returned his feet to a half meter outside the three-point line, and then jumped up.

"Oops." Baroka hurried forward and jumped up hard, but where is the height of more than 20 centimeters, what is the use?

The teammates next to him wanted to pounce, but it was too late.

I saw Qin Hao flicked his wrist, the basketball crossed a beautiful arc, and finally slammed through the net with a slam, and hit it with precision.

"nice shot."

In the audience, the fans cheered in unison.

Many fans themselves came for Qin Hao, and they were overjoyed when they saw Qin Hao hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the game.

Of course, in contrast to the Chinese fans, the Filipino players were all ugly at the moment. Coach Toloman held his arms and raised his face, as if someone owed him eight million.

Qin Hao retreated, high fives with his teammates, and said, "Wait for more shots."

"Understood." Sun Yue understood.

With this height difference, it is not a problem to shoot against it.

The Philippines fought back.

Baroca advanced to the front court with the ball, Qin Hao quickly stepped forward, reached out to grab the ball, startled Baroca, turned around halfway, protected the ball with his body, and gestured to his teammates to come and respond. , and then quickly passed the ball out.

Looking at Qin Hao, Barocca was full of helplessness.

As a small player, he relies on speed and flexibility, but these are useless against Qin Hao, and he can't take advantage of it. On the contrary, he suffered a big loss in height, staring at the defensive end, and easily disturbed by Qin Hao's long arm on the offensive end, and he would be stolen if he was not careful.

Hey, it's so hard.

But thinking that Qin Hao is an NBA player and a star level, Barocca is relieved - it's okay, it's not ashamed.

The players of the Philippine team are not tall, relying on speed and flexibility, constantly breaking points and air cuts, and passing the ball very quickly, but there is no defense for three seconds in the FIBA ​​game.

On the outside, they have to face Zhu Fangyu, who is 201cm tall, and Sun Yue, who is 205cm tall, which is really uncomfortable for the Philippine team.

"Pick-and-roll."

At this time, the shooting guard Lutz was holding the ball. He asked for a pick-and-roll, took the opportunity to get rid of Sun Yue, took a step forward, did not dare to rush to the basket, and made a pull-up jumper on the spot.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the basketball was fanned away.

As soon as Lutz was stunned, he quickly turned his head and saw Sun Yue standing behind him, jumped up quickly, grabbed the basketball, and launched a quick counterattack.

"nice shot."

"Quick attack!"

The audience cheered again.

This ball Lutz thought he could get rid of Sun Yue with a pick-and-roll, but in fact he did get rid of it, but Sun Yue is 205cm tall, nearly 30cm taller than him. The arm is long, and the ball is blocked from behind.

Whoosh!

At this time, 26-year-old Sun Yue is in his prime. He is tall and long, has excellent athletic ability, and is skilled in technology. He can shoot and shoot, and has good organizational skills.

After winning the basketball, he saw that Qin Hao was about to go down, and immediately made a long pass, the basketball crossed half the court, and Qin Hao just hit it, stretched out his hand to grab the ball and walked away.

After two steps, Qin Hao jumped up, stretched his body in the air, and gliding for a distance with his inertia, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and dunked at the basket.

Bang!

A blast.

This is a gliding dunk, which is very powerful. The fans in the audience jumped up excitedly. It was impossible to see such a dunk in the past, at least it was difficult to see it with their own eyes.

After that, the Philippine team also learned to be careful, knowing that their height was too disadvantageous, they just kept breaking points, tore the defense line, and finally gave it to center Dorsett.

Dorsett feinted with the ball, Zhang Zhaoxu raised his toes, but Dorsett suddenly slapped the ball on the floor, quickly passed Zhang Zhaoxu, and scored a layup.

"Although this guy is only 210cm tall and much shorter than Zhang Zhaoxu, his speed is much faster." Qin Hao frowned and said to Zhang Zhaoxu, "Don't jump casually, you are so much taller than him, just raise your hand."

"Well." Zhang Zhaoxu replied.

The main scoring point of the Philippine team is Dorset. His athletic ability, personal skills, and height are the best in the Philippine team. He also performed well, scoring two goals and scoring 4 points.

But apart from him, none of the Philippine players scored.

On the other hand, the Chinese team was on the verge of breaking through, scoring goals with unstoppable momentum. It was not long after the first quarter, and the Chinese team had already scored 14 points and made a 14:4 start.

"It's completely one-sided."

"The gap is huge, the Philippine team is too short."

In the audience, fans were talking.

The Philippine coach Toloman called a timeout. It was just over four minutes in the first quarter, and in less than five minutes, he was already behind by as much as 10 points. How could the gap be so big?
