The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 273 Proud London, a good start (four thousand chapters, two more)

Counting from the start of the training camp in June to the end of July when they went to London, the team spent nearly two months together. During the training camp, the training of the Chinese men's basketball team has been kept secret.

Some media expressed doubts about Deng Huade's arrangement, and believed that before the London game, at least a few friendly matches should be arranged to test the effect of the current training of the Chinese men's basketball team, but Deng Huade strongly rejected the media's suggestion. Deng Huade believes that the current team The Chinese men's basketball team is in good shape, even better than the Chinese men's basketball team in the 08 BJ Olympics.

Deng Huade's bragging is notorious, and the Chinese media reporters don't buy it.

On July 2012, 7, the Chinese men's basketball team went to London without any warm-up match and doubts from the domestic media.

According to the grouping arrangement, the Chinese team was divided into Group B, and the 12 participating teams completed the grouping as follows:
Group A: United States, Argentina, Lithuania, Nigeria, France, Tunisia;
Group B: Spain, China, Australia, Brazil, Great Britain, Russia.

According to the analysis of the Chinese media, failing to be in a group with Nigeria, the African champion, made the future of the Chinese men's basketball team full of fog.Because in the previous groupings, the Chinese team can usually meet an African team, but unfortunately, this time the Nigerian team was not in the same group as the Chinese team, and China lost the most sure chance to score points , at least from a historical point of view, and it seems that the Tunisian team, which is the second weakest from the bottom, is also in Group A, which makes the Chinese media lament that the Chinese team's luck in the draw is really bad.

Although when Yuan Man led the Cavaliers to win the NBA championship, the domestic media were affected by the atmosphere and were optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics, but as time went by, especially the Chinese team did not arrange any warm-up games before the big game , let the Chinese fans have no idea at all, and Deng Huade's attitude towards the media also disappointed the Chinese reporters.

However, Yao Ming, the former core member of the Chinese men's basketball team who visited the team's training camp in person, has great confidence in the Chinese men's basketball team.

Although Yao Ming's attitude made some fans regain their confidence, the media still believe that this is just Yao Ming's encouragement to the Chinese men's basketball team before the game, and it does not have any substantial reference value, including media from other countries around the world. In Group B, you can only compete for one victory with the British team, which is participating as the host, and you will not have much chance against other teams.

Just when the prospects of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games were looked down upon and gloomy, a piece of good news came like a thunderbolt from the clear sky.

In the just-concluded U17 World Youth Championship, under the leadership of Ye Hai, Che Yicheng, Rui Zhiwei and others, the Chinese National Youth Team broke into the final of the World Youth Championship. They defeated strong teams such as Argentina, Spain, and Serbia, and entered the final strongly. Ye Hai and Che Yicheng's two wonderful goals defeated the mighty U.S. youth team by 4 points, creating a miracle! (For the plot, please refer to the author's first campus basketball novel "Peerless Demon Front")
Ye Hai, Che Yicheng, and Rui Zhiwei are also considered by the American media to have the strength to impact the NBA in the future. Among them, Ye Hai’s talent has attracted the attention of many scouts in the United States. The Houston media said that Ye Hai has entered the observation line of sight of the Rockets Inside, the Celtics also expressed that they will continue to observe, while New York is very interested in Che Yicheng, who was once known as the number one high school student in China.

Winning the World Youth Championship gave the Chinese men's basketball team a shot in the arm for the Olympic prospects. The Chinese national youth team can win the World Series. The Chinese men's football team has even played in the World Cup. What else is impossible?

On July 7, the Chinese team, interpreted by many media as a mysterious team, made its debut at the London Olympics. The opponent in the first match was the powerful Spanish men's basketball team.

Against Yuan Man's Chinese men's basketball team, the Spanish team did not dare to be careless. The lesson of pretending to be aggressive and almost being slapped in the face in 08 is still vivid in my memory, so Spain sent the main force.

The starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is:

Center: Wang Zhizhi, power forward: Yi Jianlian, small forward: Yuan Man, shooting guard: Wang Shipeng, point guard: Sun Yue;

The starting lineup for the Spanish men's basketball team is:
Center: Marc Gasol, Power Forward: Pau Gasol, Small Forward: Rudy Fernandez, Shooting Guard: Juan Navarro, Point Guard: Jose Calderon.

The starting lineup of the Spanish men's basketball team has all played in the NBA and has very rich game experience. The biggest highlight of this Spanish team is the new addition to the team Serge Ibaka, as a good insider team , Ibaka can give the Gasol brothers more time to rest, and Spain's books seem to be stronger than in 08.

Rudy Fernandez, who was scored 08+3 by Kobe in the 1 Olympic final, said that Kobe and the U.S. team will definitely look good in this Olympics.

When asked by the media what he thought of the Chinese team, the first opponent in the group stage, Fernandez said that he didn't know much about the Chinese team, but apart from the US team, other teams were not among Spain's expected opponents.

Fernandez is a very talented and capable player. During his time with the Trail Blazers, his performance was remarkable. He is a player between the first-rate star and the second-rate star.

The NBA is the NBA, and the FIBA ​​is the FIBA. Although Yuan Man won the MVP of the regular season last season, he did not seem to be able to win the respect of Fernandez.

Before the start of the match, when Yuan Man took the initiative to box with Fernandez, Fernandez left Yuan Man on the spot as if he hadn't seen it.

"Okay." Yuan Man smiled slightly.

At the start of the game, Mark and Yi Jianlian jumped the ball. The title of the bouncer is not for nothing. Even in the NBA, Yi Jianlian, who is 2.11 meters tall, is no worse than the inside players in the United States. , Yi Jianlian not only jumped very high, but also played faster!

With a bang, Yi Jianlian won the offensive right for the Chinese team.

Sun Yue got the ball, stepped down and dribbled twice, and began to dribble forward.

The European style of play places special emphasis on physical confrontation, while Asian teams are generally afraid of physical confrontation, because once the body comes into contact, the movements are easily deformed. The reason why the basket continues to create threats.

Therefore, no matter how accurate your shots are during practice, you can still show some of your strength in the game. This is the key to testing a player's true level. If you can't make any shots, then the shooting percentage in practice is meaningless.

The Spanish team is particularly keen on physical confrontation, so the Spanish coach asked the team to put pressure on the Chinese men's basketball team at the beginning of the game, especially the two guards of the opposing team. It is very difficult for the Spanish coach to make the Chinese team even dribble.

In the past, the Chinese men's basketball team was particularly afraid of the full-court press. This defensive tactic, the Korean team has made the Chinese men's basketball team suffer, but this time it is different.

Calderon just approached Sun Yue. Sun Yue, who is 2.04 meters tall, made a stride. Not only was his speed very fast, but his physical confrontation was particularly tough. Calderon, who was about to step forward to press, staggered and almost fell.

Because Calderon's steal was out of position, Sun Yue went directly outside the three-point line. Seeing that no one came up to defend, he raised his hand and hit a three-pointer!

Calderon's tackle was jeered by Fernandez and Navarro.

The Spanish team attacked, and Navarro just turned around after receiving the ball. Wang Shipeng suddenly sprang out of his side like a ghost. He reached out and copied the ball from Navarro's hand cleanly!
Picking up the ball on the floor, Sun Yue has already rushed forward, Wang Shipeng flicked the ball forward, and the Chinese team launched a fast break.

Navarro, who had just laughed at others, became furious and quickly chased after Sun Yue, and Fernandez had already arrived, forming a 2-defense-1 situation.

Sun Yue jumped high with the ball, brought the other two Spanish players up, and then suddenly threw the ball to the outside at a 45° angle. Wang Shipeng just appeared there. After receiving the ball, there was no one around, without any adjustments Just shoot directly and hit again!

The Chinese team hit two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game!This opening greatly exceeded the expectations of the Spanish coach and players. Judging from the team's personnel and previous tactics, the Chinese team should mainly play inside, or mainly play the two forward positions of Yuan Man and Yi Jianlian. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the two weakest defenders of the Chinese men's basketball team took the lead in showing off.

Deng Huade, who has a big chin, hastily covered the smile at the corner of his mouth with his hand, the layout has been completed!

Next, the Chinese men's basketball team frequently created opportunities for three-pointers from outside, but when the Spanish player made a save, he immediately passed the ball to the Chinese player who cut in. The Spanish team was caught off guard.

At the end of the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team unexpectedly led the Spanish team by 23 points 15-8!
However, in the second quarter, the Spanish team gradually adjusted their status on the court, and played very purposefully, recovering 8 points in a single quarter, so that the Chinese team could only end in a draw in the first half.But to the surprise of the fans, the tie was not achieved by Yuan Man. Sun Yue scored 8 points, Wang Shipeng 7 points, Wang Zhizhi 6 points, Yi Jianlian 10 points, and Yuan Man only scored 6 points.

At the beginning of the second half, as many commentators have speculated, Yuan Man began to take over the game. Facing the somewhat arrogant Rudy Fernandez, Yuan Man taught the opponent how to respect a player on the counter, no matter which player came from Which state, which country.

After scoring 16 points in a single quarter, Fernandez, who was beaten by Yuan Man, was extremely ashamed. When the team coach replaced Ruhr, the smile on Fernandez's face at the beginning of the game was completely gone. Fernandez, who was sitting on the bench, only A look of confusion remained.

Why is he confused, because Yuan Man's style of play is very simple, that is, pull-ups and fadeaway jumpers, but no matter what, Fernandez just can't defend.

Under the performance of Yuan Man's personal show in the third quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team led the Spanish team by 60 points 51-9 before entering the fourth quarter!
The Chinese fans are starting to get excited. The number of Chinese people watching the catv5 live broadcast of the men's basketball game is increasing exponentially. Perhaps everyone has never imagined that the Chinese team can match against the mighty Spanish team until the fourth quarter and still win 9 points lead.

"I hope the Chinese men's basketball team can hold on and persevere until the end!"

"Even if you win by 1 point in the end, it's okay, please!"

"Will the regret of the 08 Olympic Games come back in 12?"

"Consummation, look at Yuan Man!"

The fans had a heated discussion in the live broadcast room.

In the fourth quarter, the Spanish team frequently attacked the inside line of the Chinese men's basketball team. Yi Jianlian, who performed well, fouled 2 times and left the field with 5 minutes left in the game. This made the fans feel very worried. In this game, Yi Jianlian scored With 20 points and 12 rebounds, he was the best player other than Yuan Man. Once Yi Jianlian is off the court, Wang Zhizhi alone may not be able to withstand the successive attacks of the Gasol brothers, let alone Ibaka in the opponent team.

At this time, a tall figure stood up from the bench, Zhang Zhaoxu with a height of 2.21 meters!
When Zhang Zhaoxu came out, the Chinese fans were taken aback!
"Damn, this is Zhang Zhaoxu, why is he so strong!"

"What happened in the past two months, not only Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng, but even Zhang Zhaoxu's body has become so much stronger!"

"I thought it was Han Dejun who appeared!"

Zhang Zhaoxu's lower body is obviously much thicker than 2 months ago, and the muscle lines of his arms are also more obvious. Marc Gasol is still attacking inside, but Zhang Zhaoxu blocked his first shot at the basket The fan flew out.

"This ball is for you for Yao Ming!" Zhang Zhaoxu, who has always been restrained, spouted a trash talk at Mark while blocking the shot!

At the last critical moment of the 08 Olympic Games, it was Marc Gasol who scored the equalizer toughly against the tired Yao Ming, which made China and Spain enter overtime and lost in the end. It is also known as the key goal that determined the fate of the two teams.

This time, it was at the most critical moment of the game, but Zhang Zhaoxu, who is also a Shanghai player, avenged Yao Ming and gave Mark a slap in the face!

Yuan Man got the ball and started a fast break. The Spanish team played back at full speed. Yuan Man, who broke through the penalty area, almost attracted all the defensive attention of the Spanish team.

With the sound of passing the ball through the air, Zhu Fangyu, who replaced Wang Shipeng, received a second pass from Yuan Man on the outside. He made a standard three-pointer and hit it!
The Chinese team led the opponent by 88 points 80-8, almost proclaiming the opponent's death sentence.

Although the Spanish team lingered in the last minute of the game, called all timeouts, and resorted to various methods, they still could not close the gap of 1 points. When the final whistle blew, the score of the two sides was 8-90. The team beat the Spanish team and won a good start!
