Chapter 545 [Megatron Group Stage]
On the 19th, the Chinese team in the group d competed against the Italian team.`
The stadium is full, and most Japanese fans come to support China, which is indeed like the home court.
Some Japanese were interviewed before the game and bluntly said that the Chinese team's game would be better than the Japanese team because there are two NBA stars, Dream Seven, and Argentina are also good.
Of course, there were Japanese people who were in trouble. Two men wanted to enter the market with signs with insulting Chinese slogans, but their clothes were confiscated by their own people and drove them out.
The World Championship is rarely held in Japan. The provocative stupidity is a shame, and the Japanese are defeated, so the investigation is very strict.
Italy came to the group of players whom they didn't know, and the new No. 1 pick Bagnani did not participate in the game. Even so, the information of the Italian players was handed over to the coaching staff and the players, and some research was conducted before the game.
Who is the core of the opponent, what skills everyone is good at, what tactics the coach is good at, videos of key games, etc., there are all kinds of things.
The Chinese men's basketball team is very good in intelligence. Yunas once said in an interview: "Our scouting work may be the best in the world. For all opponents, videos of any game in the past two years can be obtained, and there are specialized technical analysts to do this work. We can analyze it after collecting a large number of videos and prepare for the opponent."
Chinese spies have been very strong since ancient times, but no one applauds the workers behind the scenes now. If they were released in ancient times, they might have fans shouted: "The Dragon Breed! The Dragon Breed!" (They are not the secret spies of the Da Nei)
China sent a lineup of Yao Ming, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Jun and Liu Wei.`
This is a bit surprising. Yi Jianlian, who got a lot of playing time during the warm-up, and Wang Zhizhi was replaced together, focusing on small ball tactics, and Yao Ming himself was in the inside.
This is aimed at the Italian team's lack of low-post offense. The advantage is that it can defend against opponents' three-point shooting, pick-and-roll from the outside, and joint defense against Italy is not suitable.
When a big man appears, especially when Wang Zhizhi appears, the defense will definitely be slower. Du Feng is very thin. He is much faster and has a good three-point ability.
The rules of international basketball are somewhat different from those of the NBA. Without defense for three seconds, the center can stand at the basket and wait for the opponent to attack. Yao Ming is fine as a big man.
After the opening, Yao Ming was at the low post and Wang Jun was at the periphery. He could catch the ball and attack or run to the bottom corner. He formed a triangle with Zhu Fangyu to attract defense. As long as the opponent double-teamed Yao Ming, he would be a chance to split it.
Yao Ming beat two Italian centers in a row. The Italian formation began to shrink, and Wang Junwei and the singles young player Belinelli were completely crushed.
Wang Jun's ability to confrontation was obviously the upper hand. He turned around and shot, turned around in the middle and took a step back and scored continuously.
Italy failed to make a shot, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, and Wang Jun leaned on Belinelli to receive Liu Wei's pass and forced a layup.
Italy's tactics are mainly to cover the perimeter to catch the ball and shoot, and the big man can also pull out and slip on the bottom line from the side.`
When the two sides warmed up on July 2, Italy did not play Yao Ming, and Wang Jun's Chinese team had no power to fight back. Now their "backdoor" tactics are not working, and there is only one slow-moving big man on the Chinese field.
On the defensive end, the Italian team had no choice. Wang Jun and Yao Ming were too good to fight one-on-one. They could also compress or go around in front of Yao Ming. When it was passed, it was redirected to interfere with the shooting, and it was not possible to deal with Wang Jun.
Wang Jun played singles with the ball from the outside. The pass distance of a pair of pairs was too close, so there was no time to rotate around the side, so his teammates could easily get open positions.
Du Feng and Liu Wei both received a pass from Wang Jun and made a three-pointer. Liu Wei also successfully broke through and attracted a defensive cross to get Yao Mingkong's dunk with both hands.
The second half was 7 minutes to end, and the score difference widened to 22 points. The garbage time entered.
The two core members were replaced early by Yunas, Wang Jun scored 37 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal; Yao Ming had 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi continued to play and maintained their advantage until the end. The Chinese team got a good start with 1o1-82.
Wang Zhizhi did not perform much, and scored 6 points and 3 rebounds in a normal manner.
The next day, China vs. the United States.
Relying on joint defense and dealing with the opponent, the Chinese team was only 4 points behind in the first half. It seemed that they saw hope of winning. Yao defeated Miller on the one hand, Howard had a clear advantage, and Wang Jun also made two three-pointers from the outside.
Unfortunately, in the second half, Bathir made Yao Ming hit the ball and hit the man, and Yao Ming's four fouls fell into foul trouble, which became the turning point of the game.
Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian could not withstand the impact of James, Anthony and Wade. Joe Johnson and Hinrich also made three-pointers in a row to open the score.
Teammates couldn't help it, and Wang Jun scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. James, Wade and Brand took turns to limit him, keeping someone in front of him interfering in the shooting, which also lowered his shooting percentage.
The Chinese team lost the game 98-115. Judging from the history of the two sides' battles, the score difference is not big. If there is such strength in the 2oo4 Olympics, the Chinese team is likely to beat Mengliu.
Mengqi is different from Mengqi. There are three-pointers in the team, and the joint defense cannot completely limit their offense.
When determining the 12-man roster, many fans expressed their confusion. Why should Sinrich and Bathir be selected?
In fact, both of them are very important because they can provide stable three-point firepower and defend. Paul, Wade, and James seem to be less adaptable under international basketball rules.
The old coach K is interested in Sinrich, but he is not interested in bringing big names like Iverson. Iverson was very depressed and said that he could take care of his children at home.
Chinese fans were not disappointed when losing to Mengqi. The Chinese team looked much better than 2oo4 years.
After a day off, the Chinese team defeated Puerto Rico 96-9o under Wang Jun and Yao Ming, and advanced early in the three games.
Players struggled to defend Puerto Rico from the outside, and they could not defend against the attacks of the Chinese team from both inside and outside. Wang Jun scored 3 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
On the 23rd, the Chinese team beat Senegal 117 to 78, and the opponent was not angry at all. The team made 18 three-pointers.
The World Championships were divided into 40 minutes in total in the first and second half, and the Chinese team's scoring efficiency was amazing in this game.
Wang Jun performed violently, making 17 of 24 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 6 of 6 balls, scoring 45 points, 1o rebounds and 5 assists, including 5 frontcourt rebounds.
Yao Ming scored 19 points and 8 rebounds; Wang Zhizhi also made a three-pointer in this game, scoring 15 points; the Chinese team 6 players scored in double digits.
On the 24th, the Chinese team defeated Slovenia 1oo 77, with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, and broke out in the second place in Group D.
There are four NBA players in Slovenia participating, which looks scary, but the fight is very ordinary. The inside line composed of Nestrovic and Brezek was picked and rolled by Wang Jun and broke into a sieve.
In the second half, Wang Jun once broke through and knocked over point guard Rakovic's dunk, which made the opponent lose all morale.
Wang Jun led the World Championship with 32 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the game, and was averaging 338 points per game, and no one could match the spotlight.
This record allowed the Chinese team to avoid the US team in the knockout stage and not meet again until the final, greatly increasing the chance of winning medals.
Chinese fans comment online every day and follow the game. Chinese media also believe that this record will definitely be a breakthrough.
