NBA peak

Chapter 448 Against Jokic

In the past, many fans in China were on YY: If the Chinese team had a Jordan, what would the Chinese team look like.

Ge Feng is not Jordan, maybe Ge Feng is still not comparable to Jordan until now.

But Ge Feng used the first game of this Olympic Games to tell the fans:
If the Chinese team has a Jordan, China is a world-class strong team.

Chinese players are not weak, but there are too few core players who can carry the banner.

In 2008, there was a Yao Ming in China who could lead the Chinese team to overtime against Spain.

Now there is a Ge Feng again, he can lead the players and play Australia in half time.

The tactics, dribbling, shooting, and zone defense of Chinese players are all at the top level in the world. What they lack is only a leader.

That's what superstars do!

This is a proof of what the Chinese team would do if they had a Jordan!
If Australia can't guard against Ge Feng, it can't guard against the Chinese team's attack.

If they can't prevent their opponents from attacking, their offensive rhythm will be chaotic.

This is a vicious circle, and any friend who has played ball must have a deep understanding of this.

Human nature is common, and this is no exception even for athletes.

Australia is in a mess, and now they are the weak Chinese team in the eyes of the fans.

Defend, can't defend, attack, don't know how to attack!
If you layup, you will be blocked, if you shoot, you will miss it!
In the third and fourth quarters, this is most evident in Bogut.

As the captain of Australia, Bogut made 11 of 3 shots in this game and only scored 6 points.

Moreover, these 6 points are the points Australia scored when they attacked with him as the core in the first start.

From the second quarter, Bogut didn't play any other role except to increase the blocks of Zhou Qi and Yi Jianlian by +1!

Such bleak data, in addition to the reason for the team's overall sluggish state, has a lot to do with his own mentality.

Compared with his No. 04 pick in 16, Simmons, the No. [-] pick in [-], played very well.

Throughout the game, Simmons made 18 of 8 shots and scored 17 points and 3 assists.

Although Simmons' stats are incomparable with "One Star" Ge Feng's 28 points, at least he has kept Australia's bottom line so that Australia will not lose so badly!
At the end of the fourth quarter, the Chinese team still led Australia by almost 20 points.

The Chinese team held up Australia's counterattack.

Due to the deep grievances between the two teams, Australia refused to change the bench until the last minute and obediently conceded.

Bogut couldn't afford to lose in the end, so he threw his elbow at Yi Jianlian's face.

Of course, this is the home court of Asia. Even if Japan has a mediocre relationship with China, he is not allowed to be rampant in Tokyo as a European.

The referee gave Bogut a T without hesitation.

After executing the free throw, Yi Jianlian was replaced by Li Nan.

Li Nan did this to protect Yi Jianlian.

Everyone can see that Bogut is anxious. In case of emergency, Li Nan needs to protect Yi Jianlian from being bitten by Bogut's madness before his death.

The current Bogut is no longer worthy of Yi Jianlian to deal with him in person, and any college student he can find can make a [-]/[-] break with him.

In the end, the Chinese team beat Australia 90-69 in their first game, winning their first Olympic victory!
The Chinese team Ge Feng, Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang and Zhao Jiwei scored in double figures.

After the game, the satisfaction on the faces of the Chinese players was in stark contrast to the anger, unwillingness and jealousy of the Australian players.

After a while, all the Australian players disappeared from the field.

The 21-point defeat to the Chinese team is probably a national humiliation for Bogut, who has always looked down on China!

He felt ashamed to stand on the field for one second longer!

So after the game, he didn't even allow Simmons and Ge Feng to say a word, and took the players away from the scene.

This game had a very big impact on the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team at the same time.

After defeating Australia, the Chinese teenager's confidence doubled, and they are very sure to create the best result in history.

After the loss, there was an uproar in Australia, and most fans accused Bogut of being depressed and selfish.

The scandal that Bogut is unwilling to pass the ball to rookie No. [-] pick Simmons is spread all over Australia.

Everyone feels that Bogut is relying on the old to sell the old, and he doesn't have the courage that the NBA No. [-] pick should have.

This is really self-inflicted!
The next opponent of the Chinese team is the Serbian team.

Serbia's vice-captain is Jokic, who led the Nuggets to reverse the Clippers 1-3 in the playoffs, creating a rare classic comeback in the NBA.

Despite Jokic's strength, he can barely become Serbia's vice-captain.

But they played the game and lost to the American Dream 14 team without any suspense.

Judging from the roster of American Dream 14, the US team did not bring out a center this time. They are planning to use five small lineups on the world stage.

The mainstream of the NBA is five small lineups, but the world is not played with five small lineups.

Most teams in the world still have traditional black and white duo big men guarding the paint.

It seems that Meng 14 has a very great goal in this Olympic Games, which is to promote the five small lineups to the whole world.

But what does the US team say? The current focus of the Chinese team is on the Serbian team.

China has just defeated the top four teams in the World Cup, while Serbia has just been brutally abused by the US team.

The two teams played against each other at this time, and the momentum was obviously beneficial to the Chinese team.

The game between the two teams started quickly. The Serbian team started with Boban + Jokic in the frontcourt, Teodosic and Bogdan Bogdanovic in the backcourt.

As soon as Serbia came up, Jokic was allowed to single Yi Jianlian.

Jokic has exquisite skills at the basket and excellent ability to support the ball. Yi Jianlian can't restrain such a superstar at all.

To be exact, it's not that Yi Jianlian can't restrain Jokic, even the top NBA power forwards can't restrain Jokic.

Back on the defensive end, the cooperation of Jokic and Boban directly pushed the thin Zhou Qi to the floor.

It's a clean pot, so the referee doesn't blow the whistle.

The internal strength gap between the Chinese team and the Serbian team is too great.

Boban joined the Lone Ranger this year and is a teammate with the future "Little Emperor" Doncic.

Under the leadership of such a group of outstanding young players, the Lone Ranger proudly approached the playoffs.

In the third game between the Clippers and the Lone Ranger, the Lone Ranger won 127-114, tying the series to 1-2.

In that game, Lone Ranger center Boban Marjanovic performed well. He played 9 minutes and 43 seconds, made 8 of 6 shots, scored 13 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist.

Boban also became the first player in NBA history to score 10+ points and 10+ rebounds in less than 7 minutes in the playoffs.
