Chapter 582
The Chinese men's basketball team, which has won two consecutive victories, is temporarily ranked No.2 in Group B, second only to the United States, which has won all three games. However, everyone is not complacent. Was overturned by the opponent in a game.Although the Chinese men's basketball team is basically promoted without worry, it is also good to strive for a higher ranking.
Their opponent in the next game is Germany led by Nowitzki and Kaman. In the previous game, Germany only achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses. They faced Greece and Spain with big losses.It is not difficult for the Chinese team to beat them, but the prerequisite is that everyone must perform at a normal level. If the team fails collectively, then don't even think about scoring points against Germany.
After a day of rest, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Germany at 8 pm on August 16.Of course, today's highlight is not this game, but the next US VS Spain, but for Chinese players, it is serious to play well in the game before them. As long as they can beat Germany, no matter how bad they are, they can lock in a group B Third, this is good for the next knockout round.
For the match against Germany, Jonas has nothing to say. He still chooses to play inside first. After all, that is also Germany's biggest advantage. If he can destroy his opponents in this respect, it will deal a heavy blow to their morale.
In fact, Nowitzki and Kaman's inside combination is not bad, and they are both NBA starting-level stars, but Chang Wei is still full of confidence in the combination of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.In his opinion, Yi Jianlian only needs to do a good job of defense in the game. Yao Ming can blow up the opponent on the offensive end alone. Kaman's defense at the basket has no effect on him.
At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming relied on his huge body to squeeze into the deep position of the basket to ask for the ball, and his good friend Liu Wei gave the ball in immediately.When Yao Ming received the ball, Kaman logically stood behind him to prevent him from turning easily, but how could it be difficult for Yao Ming?He leaned back, half-turned with strength, and scored the ball with a light hook.
Yao Ming did the same in the next round. This time he chose to turn around and fall back. Kaman tried his best to block the shot, but he could only watch helplessly as the basketball passed his fingertips and fell into the basket.Strictly speaking, he is at most a second-rate center in the NBA, and there is basically no way to stop him from facing such a top insider as Yao Ming.
If Nowitzki hadn't hit a shot with the iconic golden rooster independently, Germany still doesn't know when it will be able to open up.But Nowitzki did not smile because of this. On the contrary, he still frowned, with a very depressed expression on his face. The reason is very simple. He was closely guarded by Yi Jianlian. It's not something you can get rid of casually, even Dirk Nowitzki, a historical power forward in the NBA, can hardly take advantage of it.
This made Nowitzki puzzled. The two played against each other in the NBA, but it was easy for Nowitzki to play Yi Jianlian at that time. Why didn't it work in the Olympics?Of course he didn't know that it was because Yi Jianlian received special training from Chang Wei and put most of his energy on the defensive end, which made Nowitzki feel ashamed.
Under the strict defense of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is very difficult for the German team to score points. It is even difficult for them to go deep into the basket to score, and they can only try their luck outside again and again.In the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, they played iron for multiple consecutive rounds. Even a timeout was called to no avail. The Chinese team played a 13-4 spurt. At the end of the first quarter, they fell behind 11-23.
Jonas obviously tasted the sweetness. He once again emphasized the inside-oriented style of play during the break, and because he held a double-digit lead, he planned to let Wang Zhizhi play the center in the second quarter. Yao Ming some rest time.
Although Wang Zhizhi is no longer in his peak period, his footwork and game experience under the basket can still play a huge role on the court.Facing Germany's substitute inside line, Wang Zhizhi continued to use his skillful footwork to hit the basket, and also sent a few assists to his outside teammates. Although the firepower of the Chinese team was not as good as when Yao Ming was on the court, it was not much worse.
His outstanding performance forced Germany to replace its starting inside combination in advance, but Jonas also replaced Yao Ming tit-for-tat, and it was not Wang Zhizhi but Yi Jianlian who was replaced.The current UAE is not a reliable scorer, which is why Jonas asked him to defend Dirk Nowitzki, that is to say, the combination of Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming is already the combination with the strongest offensive firepower in the Chinese men's basketball team , At this time, let the two of them partner inside, and Jonas's thoughts have been fully revealed.
With Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi killing all directions at the basket, the advantage of the Chinese team on the field became more and more obvious. Every goal they scored could ignite the atmosphere of the audience, and every steal or block could send the fans uphill like a tsunami. cheers.Amidst the cheers of the Chinese fans, the Chinese men's basketball team led by 23 points at halftime, almost turning the second half into garbage time.
However, the German team will not be caught without a fight. They represent their country in the Olympics, and even if they lose, they must lose with dignity.Therefore, in the middle of the third quarter, Nowitzki led a scoring climax. He made consecutive shots and led his teammates to play a wave of 8-0.However, this was just a flash in the pan. Because his teammates had the advantage in the interior, the outside shooters of the Chinese men's basketball team also dared to shoot in this game. Zhu Fangyu's 2 three-pointers once again widened the gap.
Under the three-point rain of the Chinese team, the morale of the German team suffered a devastating blow. Although they are still working hard on the field, it feels like they just want to lose so badly, and they have nothing to do with winning the game. extravagant hope.
Because of this, the fourth quarter has completely become garbage time, and Jonas is very relieved to put some players who usually don't play much time on the court, let them feel the atmosphere of the game, and accumulate some experience by the way.In the end, under the leadership of Yao Ming, the Chinese men's basketball team won another big victory. The score of the two sides was 89 to 75, which made Germany's loss less ugly.
After defeating Germany, the Chinese men's basketball team has the last game against Greece in the group stage. Now that both sides have advanced ahead of schedule, the only role of this game is to determine the ranking of Group B.Of course, Chang Wei hopes that the Chinese men's basketball team will beat Greece to get No. 2 in Group B, but no matter whether it is second or third, it is much better than getting fourth in the previous life and then being eliminated by Lithuania.
