Chapter 35 033. New History!Tianchao National Youth Team Advances to the Quarterfinals! (recommended)

The news that the Tianchao National Youth Team defeated the Miguo National Youth Team shocked the basketball world!

After the Athens tragedy in 04, the Migo people thought they had lost their dominance in FIBA, but losing to an Asian team was outrageous.

In the words of Stephen A. Smith, a famous Migo commentator, "If you go on, you will lose to Iran. After losing to China, you will lose to Iran, and then you will lose to South Korea and Japan. Then you will have nothing to lose..."

Some viewers asked Miguo Yang Yi, "Does Miguo still have a chance to regain the World Youth Championship this year?"

"Oh, thank God, you can't even win the group stage. How can you guarantee that you can play at a level in the knockout round? Be pragmatic, I advise you, I understand my own play style and tactics, and the concept of basketball. Old K is pretty good. Why did you replace him? You lost to the Asian team in Serbia and Montenegro, and you tell me how to explain it? You don't want to lose face..."

A day later, the Migo National Youth Team heard bad news again.

The core of the team, Michael Beasley, and DeAndre Jordan, who protected the frame, were both suspended by FIBA ​​for 3 games!
The opponent in the next group stage is the Mali National Youth Team, which is not strong enough. The problem is that the two of them will not be able to play in two knockout matches.

The Miguo National Youth Team only hopes that they will not encounter strong European teams after they appear, and it is best not to encounter strong American teams. Well, it is ideal to play African teams consecutively...

After the game, Xiaoding became the most popular star in this World Youth Championship.

For the first time, the basketball boy who was only famous in a small circle of Beijing and his hometown XJ became popular all over the country.

Wang Zheng was also suspended for three games, but it did not have much impact on the overall strength of the Tianchao National Youth Team.

On the contrary, it was Xiaoding's injury that worried Coach Li even more.

Although the result of the MRI was negative, all opponents knew that Xiao Ding had an injury on his left rib, and the Europeans' style of play was rougher. If the injury was not healed, Xiao Ding would definitely be defended by a Beverly-style mad dog.

"Ding, don't go to the next game, take a good rest."

Hearing what the coach said, Xiaoding insisted on playing, because the overall strength of this Serbian team is very strong, and he will lose if he does not play.

"Ding, we have secured the quarter-finals ahead of time. Even if we lose to Serbia in the third game, we will still be number one in the group as long as we don't lose by a big score. Moreover, the knockout round will be played three hours after the group stage. Your task is to adjust your physical condition to the best!"

Xiao Ding nodded.

In the third game of the group stage, the Miguo National Youth Team gave the Mali National Youth Team a 41-point massacre, clearly using Mali as a punching bag.

The Mali generals were in a hurry at the end. They picked Curry, who looked at the most fragile body, and first elbowed and then stepped. The unlucky Curry was carried out of the field by his teammates.

His injury is not serious, but he also needs time to rest.

Curry thought to himself, I will never play FIBA ​​games again...

On the other side, Yang Qin and the others defended the middle to prevent the Serbs from shooting.

It just so happened that the Serbs were out of sight, and without Xiaoding, they almost upset the hosts who should have won the championship.

Xiao Ding did not appear on the sidelines, but was doing cold compresses in the physiotherapy room.

In the last few minutes, when the score fell into anxiety, Coach Li thought about letting Xiao Ding come back.

But in order to go further in the knockout round, he still chose to take a gamble.

At 69:72, the big boys of the Tianchao National Youth Team lost by 3 points.

Because the hosts lost to the United States by a big score in the first game, and they won a small victory in Mali in the second game, and now they have a small victory against China.

China, the United States, and Serbia all have two wins and one loss. Counting small points, the top two in Group B are China and the United States.

The Serbian golfers shed tears on the field, and the home audience was heartbroken. They have the strongest U19 in the past ten years. They wanted to make a breakthrough at home, but they didn't even show up in the group.

Yang Qin, Xu Yong, and Su Wei were all injured, so they didn't delay playing, but it was enough to prove the intensity of the confrontation.

Xu Yong joked, "Ding, you were right not to fight, the other side will go on a rampage like an animal, how fierce!"

Xiao Ding patted Xu Yong on the shoulder, and glanced at the brothers who fought for the whole game, "Brother Yong, you played really well. Serbia has sent almost all the national players, and they just want to win the championship at home, and now they can only compete for the ninth place."

"Well, if we add you, a super scorer who averages 30 points per game, how can we lose? We can definitely kill the Serbian team!"

"No, no, no, Serbia has a good relationship with us, just kill the Migo guys."

Hearty laughter broke out in the locker room of the Tianchao National Youth Team.

In the past, if the Chinese players wanted to say that they won Miguo, it was purely flattery, but well, after winning once, the mentality is completely different.

Especially after learning that Curry retired due to injury, Ding knew that the Migo team was over.

Beasley's performance is unstable, and the rest of them have no active scoring ability. Whether they can reach the top four with a pile of leftovers is a problem.

The goal set by the Basketball Association for Coach Li is to enter the quarterfinals. The task has been completed, and he broke through from the death group. Coach Li has already received a call from the leader to commend him.

The former U19 players Chen Jianghua, Zhou Peng, Xie Libin, and Han Shuo who are participating in the national team training camp were collectively stunned.

"We won Migo U19?"

"We broke out from the death squad?"

"We have a FIBA ​​killer with an average of 30+ per game?"

These four were originally the real core of the U18 last year and the U19 this year. As a result, without them, the Tianchao National Youth achieved the best results in history.

Harm, winning is not terrible, it is embarrassing to be short of someone.

Both Chen Jianghua and Zhou Peng, who were secretly competing for a place in the national team, had a question mark in their hearts, because they were not sure whether they could perform 30+ in Xiaoding's place...

The old Yuli, who is guiding the national team, asked about the situation of the assistant coach Xiaoding.

Hearing that Xiao Ding was only 14 years old this year, the old Yu immediately thought of Rubio, the Spanish golden boy who started playing professional games at the age of 14!
Rubio once scored 16 points in the final of the U51 European Championship and won the scoring, rebounding, assists and steals of the game.

The level of the U19 World Youth Championship is much higher than that of the U16 European Championship. It is more difficult for Xiaoding to score 19+ on Migo U30 than Rubio's final night.

Although it does not mean that Ding is stronger than Rubio, Jonas moved his mind to recruit Ding to the national team.

There is only one problem, and that is that Xiao Ding is too young. He will only celebrate his 15th birthday in the Olympics next year. Will forcing him to play such a high-intensity game will overdraw his future in advance?

It's not just Laoyou who is worried about this issue. The leaders of the Basketball Association want Xiaoding to play for a higher level national team while evaluating the risk of allowing such a small player to play in the Olympics.

Three hours later, the group situation of the knockout round was announced.

The opponent of the Tianchao National Youth Team in the first game is the French National Youth Team, which is not strong overall.

France's core player is 19-year-old Nicolas Batum.

And 'French Pippen' has only one goal, and that is to lock down the talented scorer who averaged 30+ per game - Ding Yan Yuhang!
