Chapter 551 [Promoting to the semi-finals, stepping on your feet]

Gasol hesitated when he received the basketball.

He hardly scored three-pointers in the NBA. The three-point line in the World Championships was closer than that of the NBA. He was fully capable of taking action, but there was a voice in his mind that stopped him from doing so.

If you can't make a move, don't make a move.

This voice is his voice.

Gasol passed by, and he lost to himself.

Spanish pitchers were stared at, and after several passes, they didn't easily make a phone call. In the end, Navarro faced Wang Jun's interference in jump shot and the ball went out of the basket.

With only 2 seconds left, Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound and passed it to nearby Liu Wei. Calderon committed a foul. Spain must use foul tactics to stop the game, otherwise he will definitely lose.

Unfortunately, this is useless. There is no accurate free throw in Chinese people, even if Yi Jianlian hits more than 70%.

Liu Wei withstood the pressure and made two free throws steadily. He waved his arms excitedly when he returned to defense.

0 to 05, unless a miracle happens, the Chinese team will win.

Even if you hit a three-pointer with a snatch, Spain will have to use foul tactics again.

Spain attacked, Calderon quickly took the ball to the frontcourt and failed to score a three-pointer. The rebound was grabbed by Gasol, and he divided the ball out of the outside line. Calderon made another three-pointer, but still failed to score.

Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound, with only 4.7 seconds left, and Gabayosa made another foul.

Spain doesn't want to lose, but they're already determined. This foul will only allow the Chinese team to score easily and expand the gap.

Yi Jianlian scored both free throws without any pressure, 2 to 05.

Spain gave up and stopped fouling.

Yu Jia shouted excitedly: "Win, the Chinese team defeated the powerful Spain and advanced to the semi-finals. The great Wang Jun, who led the Chinese men's basketball team to a historic breakthrough with a key three-pointer."

Zhang Heli smiled and said, "This moment will be recorded in history. I think Wang Jun has locked in the scoring champion and P in this competition."

Wang Jun scored 43 points, had rebounds and 5 assists, and performed very comprehensively.

Zhang Heli has no regrets about his average score record being broken. He kept praising Wang Jun. "He still has the opportunity to compete for the World Championship record of 35.5 points per game by Brazilian legend Oscar Schmidt, which is really incredible."

Yu Jia smiled and said, "The Argentina's match against Turkey will be held later, and the winner will meet the Chinese team in the semi-finals. I think it is likely to be against the Olympic champion Argentina, which is also a test."

At the press conference, a Chinese reporter interviewed Wang Jun and asked: "The Chinese team beat Spain in a record-breaking victory. Can you tell me what you think?"

Wang Jun said plainly: "This game is not easy to win, it depends on team cooperation and fighting spirit. We have performed efficient offensive performance and need to be strengthened on the defensive end."

For him, it is not worth being happy to be in the semi-finals. As long as he is eliminated, he will fail even if he wins the runner-up.

Japanese reporter asked in English: "Do you think the Chinese team is likely to win the championship?"

"We can only fight one after another, and we will talk about it first."

Wang Jun was not confident of defeating Meng Qi, and had two warm-up games and one group match, and the Chinese team lost. They lost in athletic ability, and players could only rely on joint defense to limit their opponents' breakthroughs.

Meng Qi's only weakness is that he lacks low-post offense. Howard is too rough and can play a better role in defense. Several other insiders like to pull out to play pick-and-roll. Brand is the best on the back. He is only 203c and is slightly inferior when defending.

This time Mengqi's three-pointer is good, and there are strong men like Wade and James who are breaking through are really difficult to deal with.

Unlike Wang Jun, his teammates have said a lot. Some of them are very happy when they enter the semi-finals.

This is a good thing, and they will relax and have no pressure in the next game. No one will blame them if they lose, and if they win, they will be even more glorious.

Moreover, the value of CBA players will increase. They will definitely make more money in the future. This World Championship will be gilded for them.

In the later game, Argentina defeated Türkiye to advance to the semi-finals.

In the United States, NBA President David Stern is also paying attention to the World Championships. He is a little depressed.

Wang Jun played well in the international arena and thought that more people would rule the NBA. He is different from Ginobili. When he returned to the NBA, Ginobili was only the second or third leader in the Spurs, and Duncan was suppressed.

It is very good for Wang Jun to become a star, which has broadened the Chinese market. But it is a bit too much for a Chinese to steal all the local star limelight.

Let a foreigner rule the NBA put all the stars under his feet Stern didn't want to see this.

If James won two P in the third year and won the championship, the league would have long started to promote the first championship and the Sharks, but they did not promote Wang Jun like this.

The Chinese team reached the semi-finals, and the NBA official did not mention Wang Jun much.

Now Stern is a little worried about Dream 7. He must win the championship, at least he must regain his dominant position in international basketball. If he loses again, he will lose all his face.

The next day, the Chinese media put the men's basketball game on the headlines. They touched everyone's hearts, just like the Chinese women's volleyball team in the past.

Wang Jun's data overwhelmed a group of NBA stars. There are too many stars in Dream 7, and it is impossible for the ball to be concentrated in one person's hands.

After the player was resting for two days, Wang Jun could not go out to the streets. Many Japanese fans were holding signs outside the hotel, preparing to surround him.

On the 30th, the United States eliminated Germany and Greece eliminated France. The two teams will meet in the semi-finals.

On the 3rd, four teams that were eliminated in the last round played a qualifying match, with Türkiye defeating Lithuania and France defeating Germany.

The media made predictions for the two semi-finals, and no one was optimistic about Greece's defeat of Meng Qi, which was called a game without suspense. Currently, there are no players in Greece playing in the NBA.

Argentina vs. China, 40% of the people who are optimistic about the Chinese team are not as good as Argentina, but they are pretty good. If it were in 2004, no one would believe that the Chinese team could defeat Argentina, even if it was Chinese fans.

The team was favored, but the Argentine coaches and players were both low-key. They only said they would strive to win before the game and did not shout the slogan of winning.

The online predictions are more based on previous results and lineup competitions, and Argentina's inside lineup is at a disadvantage.

The starting center Fabirio Oberto defends the inside of other countries, and can be called a defensive player. But in the NBA, the Spurs will never let the edge center Oboerto, who is 20c and weighs 0 kg, defend Yao Ming. The gap between the two is too big. Yao Ming can play whatever he wants. He will definitely not be able to defend without double-teaming.

Power forward position, Yi Jianlian vs. Scola, Scola is strong, he has rich game experience and was selected by the Spurs as early as 2002. He is recognized as the second star. He was unable to log in to the NBA with a contract.

Small forward Nosioni beat Zhu Fangyu, who was better at three-pointers and inferior in other aspects. After winning the championship with the Bulls, more people are optimistic about Nosioni's future.

The shooting guard is the core of the two teams, Ginobili vs. Wang Jun. People believe that Wang Jun will have the upper hand in the matchup and China will have the advantage. Ginobili is an All-Star, but Wang Jun is a P. If he fights one-on-one, it will be difficult for Ginobili to defend him.

A little better than substitute Argentina, power forward Hermann, who has a shooting percentage of 5.5 and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.2. And 2003 rookie, Pistons swinger Delfino.

China's substitutes mainly rely on Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue, Wang Shipeng, and Du Feng, and the offensive firepower is not bad.

With two key positions, the Chinese team is fully capable of winning.
