Chapter 161 The last warm-up match
In order to let the players get into the state as soon as possible, coach An Zuo specially arranged a warm-up match before the end of the holiday.
The opponent in the warm-up match is the Pittsburgh Panthers, a traditional NCAA team.
A total of 26 players from the Pittsburgh Panthers have entered the NBA, including many such powerful players as "Sea King" Adams and Cameron Johnson.
However, in the 96-97 season, the overall strength of the Pittsburgh Panthers players was not strong, and they did not have much competitiveness.
This is also the reason why An Zuo chose them as opponents in the warm-up match. After all, abuse of food can make the players find their status.
Although An Zuo took the initiative to find the warm-up opponent, the game was still scheduled to be played in the University of Pittsburgh basketball gym.
As the player with the most traffic in the past half month, Zhao Qiang is the focus of the spotlight no matter where he goes, not to mention the students at the University of Pittsburgh.
As soon as Zhao Qiang appeared on the stage, the students of the University of Pittsburgh immediately aroused warm cheers, and some students even chanted Zhao Qiang's name.
This made the Panthers players feel a little embarrassed, they feel that they are the visiting team players...
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.
The main offensive firepower of the Pittsburgh Panthers is to rely on their two outside guns: Justin and Odyssey.
Both of them have a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, which was already a very strong three-point shooting ability in the 90s.
Opening the first ball, Maggette did not compete for the center of the Panthers, the Panthers won the first chance to attack the opening.
Jaguar's main point guard, Justin, held the ball and advanced across the half court. Under the cover of his teammates' pick-and-roll, he directly raised his hand and threw a three-pointer. The whole process was very smooth without any hesitation.
brush!
Three point hit!
Justin hit the first goal in the opening game, leading the team to a 3-0 lead.
Justin used this three-pointer to give the Cavalry a bad start and tell everyone that this is his home court.
"Hey, I heard that your three-pointer is very good, but I think it is very average. Today I will let you understand what is shooting ability."
While returning to defense, Justin did not forget to spout trash talk at Zhao Qiang.
Although Zhao Qiang has gained some fame and conquered many fans in the United States, many college players in the NCAA are not convinced.
After all, before entering the NBA, they were all Jordans in their own world. Coupled with their young age, they were naturally unconvinced by anyone.
Faced with Justin's trash talk, Zhao Qiang turned his mouth upwards and ignored him. At present, his rank has long disdained to debate with such a brat.
After Xiaode held the ball for halftime, Zhao Qiang immediately reached out for the ball, wanting to single out Justin for a goal.
The fans in the audience saw that Zhao Qiang was about to face off against their university's top player, Justin, and they immediately became excited. Everyone stood up from their seats and cheered enthusiastically.
Justin slapped the floor fiercely with both hands, then lowered his body's center of gravity, making a posture to defend Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang didn't take it seriously, and pointed the position in front of him with his right index finger, indicating that he wanted to shoot from here.
"This guy…"
Justin didn't expect Zhao Qiang to pretend to be X so well.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Qiang stood at the pointed position, raised his right hand, tapped his wrist, and threw a three-pointer with a beautiful arc.
Without any suspense, the basketball hit the net!
"Hey, remember, next turn, I'm still throwing the [-]-pointer there."
Zhao Qiang said to Justin in front of him.
"you…"
Justin was speechless for a moment. He had seen someone who could pretend to be X, but he had never seen someone who could pretend to be X like this.
However, after only two rounds in the opening round, Justin could already feel the powerful aura on Zhao Qiang,
This invisible sense of oppression even made him a little nervous.
When it was the Leopards' turn to attack, Justin was still the main attacker. This time standing in front of him was Zhao Qiang.
Justin confidently began to change direction in front of his body. In an instant, he dribbled the ball with his right hand to make a breakthrough, trying to get rid of Zhao Qiang's defense with his speed.
Snapped!
Just when Justin was about to break through with the dribble, Zhao Qiang cut off the basketball in his hand with a steady and ruthless approach, completing a clean steal.
After playing against several star players of the Lakers, Zhao Qiang and Justin's matchup was completely a dimensionality reduction blow.
Justin's dribbling movements, in Zhao Qiang's eyes, are like slow motion, without any speed.
However, after the steal, Zhao Qiang was not in a hurry to hold the ball and advance to a fast break. Instead, he waited until all the players of the Jaguar team returned to the half-court defense, and then slowly crossed the halfway line.
Justin immediately stepped forward to defend Zhao Qiang, and tried to use his strong body to put pressure on Zhao Qiang, and at the same time wanted to steal Zhao Qiang's goal.
Although Justin's physical talent is good, he is still a bit average in front of Zhao Qiang. Justin's confrontation did not bring much trouble to Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang quickly dribbled the ball under the crotch, directly shaking Justin away, so that there was half a body between the two, but Zhao Qiang did not make a breakthrough, completely throwing off Justin's defense,
Instead, he pointed to the position in front of him again, indicating that he would make a three-point shot from here.
"Fuck! Who do you think you are?"
Justin suddenly became angry from embarrassment, kicked his legs on the ground, and rushed to defend Zhao Qiang.
Although Justin's defensive action was very fast this time, Zhao Qiang shot a three-pointer faster.
Because the defense was too strong, Justin didn't control his body at all, and slammed into Zhao Qiang directly. The referee immediately whistled and called a foul.
But at the same time, the basketball also hit the net, 3+1! ! .
"See, this is Brother Qiang's strength! He will definitely be the No. [-] pick in the NBA next year!"
"Although I am a student at the University of Pittsburgh, I have to admit that Justin is completely a primary school student in front of him, hahaha!"
"Primary school student? No, no, no, it's just a kindergarten baby!"
The students of the University of Pittsburgh saw Zhao Qiang's strong counterattack at the beginning, and immediately cheered, cheering for Zhao Qiang.
Many young and beautiful female classmates have even begun to fantasize about giving birth to monkeys for Zhao Qiang...
In the final game without any intensity, Zhao Qiang scored 50 points like cutting melons and vegetables, and beat the Pittsburgh Panthers violently by himself.
"Hey man, have to admit, you do have two brushes."
"I have to give you my respect."
After the game, Justin took the initiative to find Zhao Qiang, showing that he was defeated.
"Haha, it's normal on the field. I look forward to meeting you next time."
After all, Zhao Qiang patted Justin on the shoulder, he knew that Justin was not malicious.
Throughout the game, Zhao Qiang defended Justin himself, and he only scored 8 points against him, and his three-point shooting percentage was only a poor 18%.
It can be said that on both ends of the offense and defense, Zhao Qiang completely defeated Justin, the leader of the Panthers.
An innocuous warm-up match is over, and the new season is about to begin!
