Li Yuanwei's confidence is not only due to the score of Fiba, but also because of the performance of the Chinese team's previous series of warm-up matches.

This World Championships were held in Japan. Due to the small and small Japanese basketball venues, many warm-up matches were held in China.

So this time, most of the warm-up opponents of the Chinese team are the genuine national teams of this World Championships.

As an Olympic champion, as long as it is from a different group, other teams hope that you can play with him!

Just like in history, playing against the American Dream Team is like a kind of glory!

Then, after a series of warm-up matches, the Chinese team lost no results!!

Especially after Sun Hao returned to China, the Chinese team won quite easily.

While this made the fans very enthusiastic, Li Yuanwei also gave him enough confidence.

Play the World Championships as Asian Championships!

This is a bit proud and a bit toxic, but it has the capital!

In fact, when Su Qun directly used this sentence as the title of the article in "Basketball Pioneer", domestic fans collectively climaxed.

"This is the Chinese men's basketball team!"

"The Chinese Dream Team!"

"No, we don't dream, we are the golden generation."

"Hehe, I heard that the NBA has started to pay attention to Sun Yue. Our basketball talents are now one by one!"

"This is a virtuous cycle! Now the youth training in China is also taking off!"

"It's not just youth training, because of Sun Hao and the others' influence, more and more people are willing to train their children to play basketball. I heard that the CBA is already planning the draft!"

"A good thing. As long as the base becomes larger, you can also choose good seedlings for the draft. This is the real virtuous cycle!"

"Okay, don't go too far, let's talk about this World Championship!"

"There is nothing to talk about anymore. China is the champion!"

"Big brother, you are inflated!"

“Where has it expanded?”

"Why do I feel like a car is driving over?"

...

The grouping of the World Championships was determined a long time ago, and the Chinese team was assigned to Group B. The specific groupings are as follows:

Group A: Argentina, Seychelles, Nigeria, Lebanon, France, Germany

Group B: China, Japan, Australia, Slovenia, Puerto Rico, Senegal

Group C: Spain, Italy, Angola, Panama, New Zealand, Venezuela

Group D: United States, Lithuania, Greece, Türkiye, Brazil, Qatar

It is worth mentioning that this year's World Championships are different from previous years. A total of 24 teams participated, with four points difference, and 6 teams in each group.

Then the six teams will conduct an intra-group cycle, and the top four of the group will advance to the top 16, and then conduct subsequent single-game knockout matches in the order of A1 vs. B4 until the final championship is decided.

This is the first time since the World Championships, and this competition system has a lot to do with luck in drawing lots.

For example, Qatar and Türkiye in Group D are more unlucky. Not to mention that they are separated from the United States, Lithuania and Greece in the same team are both European champions, and even Brazil is now their golden generation.

In comparison, the host Japanese team is more comfortable? Slovenia and Puerto Rico, who are in the same team, failed to qualify in the sacking match? They participated with wild cards.

What is wild card?

If the official spends money to sell the spot, the price will get it? It is a wild card.

Some people may ask why Japan is so lucky?

Of course it’s metaphysics if you have good luck? Do you think there are other things!

Well, what does Japanese fans think? They are favored by the goddess of luck.

But compared to Japanese fans, Chinese fans are more excited!

Li Yuanwei said to play the World Championships as the Asian Championships? OK? Now we are directly in the same group as Japan!

This is the real lucky.boy!

And you may not believe it if you say it. The opening match of this Group B is China VS Japan, the focus battle.

After the Chinese team arrived in Japan, they started a relatively relaxed training mode.

The Chinese team's current strength has reached this point, and it's more about mentality? He doesn't want the players to have too much pressure before the game.

Shortly after Sun Hao arrived in Japan, he went to experience the local characteristics with Nowitzki.

What are you thinking? Of course, the things that are unique to the island country... I didn't buy them now.

They ran to eat Kobe steak.

This steak can only be eaten here. It tastes really good after eating it for two people.

And when the two of them were eating, they unconsciously talked about a topic, Kobe and Kobe.

This is a story that many people know.

Kobe's father, Joe Bryant, was still playing for the Sixers? He and his wife had a very delicious steak at a Japanese restaurant in Philadelphia.

The English name of that steak is "Kobe.beef", which is the well-known Kobe steak.

So they agreed that the child would be called Kobe after he was born.

This is a very interesting story? But as he chatted, Nowitzki couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the past, O'Neal and Kobe had a conflict, but now he is a little helpless with Kobe.

He has sacrificed a lot for the team's performance in the past two years? But last year the team was hit hard by Hackbag last year.

You should know that things like Black Eight are much rarer than championships.

"He is like a child who never grows up? He always likes to do things the way he does? He doesn't think about the feelings of the people around him."

The first time? Sun Hao heard the complaints about Kobe from Nowitzki's mouth.

However, this is already very rare. If couples are not well engaged, there will be many conflicts after getting along for a long time, let alone teammates.

"Didn't you say you want to change the head coach?"

Sun Hao did not agree. Kobe's personality change took an opportunity, but it was not now.

Moreover, Kobe doesn't have to change his personality, he has the ability to maintain his personality.

The bigger problem for the Mavericks is the head coach now. If the old Nelson is still coaching, the Mavericks are likely to guarantee the Western Conference semi-finals.

As for going further, it depends on the opponent and performance.

“Mark trusts Avery.”

Nowitzki shook his head and then sighed.

Sun Hao really feels a little sorry for the old driver.

Teammates can’t change, and coaches can’t change either. This is hell.

No, not necessarily.

"You didn't try to talk to Mark?"

Sun Hao was very curious. Kuban's love for Nowitzki can be called spoiling.

If Nowitzki spoke, nothing could not be negotiated.

"No, I won't do that."

Nowitzki's answer was very straightforward.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

It's really not like what Nowitzki would do.

You have heard a lot of news about Kuban's doting Nowitzki in history, but you have never heard of what Nowitzki asked Kuban to do.

If James is considered an extreme, Nowitzki is another extreme.

"Dike, I have a feeling that if nothing changes, the Mavericks may have great turmoil next season."

Sun Hao said.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't say that, because it sounds a bit like a crow's mouth.

But because it was Nowitzki, he expressed his truest thoughts.

When people encounter difficulties, it is the best way to solve the problem. If it remains unchanged, it is likely to be changed by external factors.

Before, he just felt that Kobe might go to the Clippers, but now he heard about the Mavericks' recent situation, this possibility is really great.

Some people may say that the Clippers have no bargaining chips.

Everything is possible in the NBA, just like who would have thought that the Clippers could trade for Gasol in the offseason?
