The result of the game against Jordan is not unexpected. If Jordan does not have such a high level of naturalized players as White, it may be the level of the second team of the national team.
The next opponent of the national team is the powerful Argentina team.
In the latest FIBA ​​rankings, the Argentine team beat the US team and became the world’s first. However, the current Argentine team lacks their core guard Ginobili, and the main striker Nocioni also Did not participate due to injury.
Louis Scola became the absolute core of the Argentine team. In the NBA regular season last season, Scola has been promoted to the top power forward in the NBA league with 16+8 data. As for the Chinese team, in the power forward position, obviously no one can hold Scola.
Argentina's second scoring point is Carlos Delfino, which is also a player who is very familiar to Rockets fans. In the season he just experienced, Delfino broke out in front and played his best season, 134 three-pointers The ball is also a new high in his career. Although Delfino could not make up for the loss of Ginobili, but it can give Argentina a huge firepower supplement from the three-point line.
In addition, veteran players such as Pulzioni, Gonzalez, Quinteros, etc., also continue to stay in the Argentina team. In general, although the younger Argentina team is a bit younger, the game experience is extremely rich. At that time, the basic framework of the golden generation of the Argentine men’s basketball team is still there. If Ginobili and Nocioni are not missing, Argentina The team may really have a chance to overturn the Dream Nine team.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team is the same as in the previous game and has not changed. The Argentine side sent Scola, Delfino, Priggioni, Janssen and Gutierrez. In the lineup, Argentina has a clear advantage, but in the first quarter, the scores of the two sides have been alternately rising, and there is no gap. In the end, the Argentine team scored four points with Scola's last minute, leading the Chinese team by 22 points and two points, ending the first quarter.
After the substitute players came on the court, both sides fell into a scoring shortage. The Chinese team's substitute scoring ability is more general, and they have not grasped many good opportunities. Obviously, they lack the core offensive and do not know how to play. However, the defense of this group of young people is very hard, daring to fight closely with the Argentina team, but also makes it difficult for the Argentina team to score points. In the first four minutes of the second quarter, neither side scored until Argentina replaced Delfino before breaking the deadlock with a three-pointer.
The Argentine team ended the first half with a six-point lead of 39 to 33. This difference is very satisfactory for the Chinese team, but for Argentina, it is a very bad result, because the Chinese team, Zhang Guanhe Dayao hasn't played yet. In the absence of the two main players of the Chinese team, the Argentina team has only six points ahead. Obviously, the Argentine coach Hernandez cannot be satisfied.
After the halftime break, Scola ushered in a big explosion, he almost swept the entire Argentina team's offense, and with Scola's excellent play, the Argentina team widened the point difference to 15 points.
It is not an easy task to recover the 15-point difference from Argentina. Considering the fact that tomorrow will face the German team, coach Deng Huad replaced the full bench in the fourth quarter to let the main players Can retain more physical strength. Argentina also made adjustments immediately, and also replaced the bench lineup, so the fourth quarter became a substitute. In the end, Argentina defeated the Chinese team 74 to 61, and Scola also scored a game-high 31 points.
...
In the front row of the bus, Coach Ballman of the German team looked back at his team members and found that several main players such as Harman, Greene, and Agra had fallen asleep.
Coach Ballman sighed involuntarily, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
This German team lacks Nowitzki. Naturally, its strength is greatly reduced, but the players are very hard. Like the Chinese team, they are in a state of "playing chicken blood". In the first game of the German team, they lost 74 to 78, a slight gap of four points to Argentina; and in today's game, the German team struggled two extra hours, and finally defeated Serbia 82-81.
Serbia is definitely stronger than the German team without Nowitzki, and the two overtimes also showed the difficulty of this victory. More importantly, the German team consumed too much in this game. physical strength.
"Coach, the Chinese team really lost to Argentina, the score is 74 to 61, the Argentine team leads the game!" The assistant coach held the mobile phone and described the latest World Championship report.
"Have Zhang Guan and Dayao played?" Ballman asked immediately.
"No, they still continue to sit on the bench, the Chinese team is still a rotation of ten people today." The assistant coach said.
Coach Ballman frowned immediately, Zhang Guan and Dayao continued to rest, which means that the two strongest cores of the Chinese team will appear on the field full of energy.
"Coach, you don't have to worry about Zhang Guan and Dayao. Dayao had such a big operation last year. Even in our Germany, it's impossible to get back to such a short period of time. Zhang Guan hasn't played in two years. I think They may just be two mascots of the Chinese team, just scaring people." The assistant coach said.
"Mascot? Do you really think so? That is two places, do you think the Chinese team will waste two places? For you, will Nowitzki be a mascot?" Coach Ballman continued Several questions made the assistant coach more speechless.
"I look at the statistics." Ballman said, taking the phone from the assistant coach.
"Among the five starters of the Chinese team, the longest playing time is only 23 minutes. There are two substitutes who have even exceeded the starting player. Is the Chinese team deliberately retaining physical strength?" Ballman sucked in. In one breath, I felt more irritable.
...
The big screen in the arena showed the scores of the two sides in the first quarter. The Chinese team led the German team by 25-7.
Yesterday the two overtime games did consume too much physical energy of the German team. At the beginning of the game, the main player of the German team entered a dull state. In the first seven minutes of the game, only two points were scored.
As for the Chinese team, Zhang Guan and Dayao both made their debuts, and the offensive firepower comprehensively suppressed the German team.
Dayao played for five minutes and was replaced. He scored two points on one-of-three shots. However, the existence of Dayao is more to attract the opponent's defensive attention. And according to the requirements of the team doctor, Dayao's playing time in a game should be limited to ten minutes, and the consecutive playing time should not exceed five minutes, so coach Deng Huad kept looking at the watch. When the time reached five minutes, he called A timeout, replaced Dayao.
For a player who has not had a 100% recovery after major surgery, the first game can score a goal, which is a very good performance.
In the next five minutes, it became the time for Zhang Guan's personal performance. The continuous rapid breakthrough made it difficult for the German team to parry. Zhang Guan tore the German team's defense line with one person.
In fact, the defensive level of the German team is not weak, but it was just too much physical energy consumed in the game yesterday, especially the few starters of the German team, the reaction and footsteps were significantly slower by half a beat. It is powerless.
After Ballman replaced the bench, the German defense has improved. The bench's physical strength is more abundant, especially their backup center Tim Albright, who made a continuous jumper and narrowed the point difference to 10 points.
Albright is the star of hope for the German men's basketball team. He is known as the successor of Nowitzki. He has excellent long-range shooting ability on the offensive end and good blocking skills on the defensive end. In the game, Albright was also very decisive. There was no performance of young players in stage fright. He dared to play and dare to vote. He had a new German nuclear momentum.
However, Albright is not a superstar after all, a person's excellent performance can not make the team out of the downturn. Especially when Zhang Guan was put on the field again, the 10-point difference was widened to 15 points again.
...
"Zhang Guan broke through, made a layup and scored! Although he didn't participate in the basketball game for two years, Zhang Guan is still in the same state as the Olympics two years ago. I think the world can only do Zhang Guan. At this point!" With the voice of the commentator, the third quarter has entered the second half.
The decline of the German team's physical fitness became more and more obvious in the third quarter. The most serious consequence was the sharp drop in the shooting rate. Even the players who are usually good at shooting, there are several cases of missing open positions.
Without Nowitzki, the German team also lacked a Dinghaishen needle, and the biggest bargaining chip for defeat.
Coach Deng Huade was originally going to be replaced by Dayao again in the fourth quarter, but watching the two sides have already opened the game to 20 points, Deng Huade still gave up the substitution plan. After all, Dayao has not fully recovered the foot is not suitable for proceeding Too high-intensity game.
"We won this game, and our group stage promotion should be stable." Deng Huade breathed out. This game can be said to be invincible. Deng Huade couldn't help but sigh his good luck. If it weren’t for the German team and the Serbian team fighting for two extra hours yesterday, leading to physical problems in the game today, the Chinese team will inevitably fall into a bitter battle.
In the last three minutes, the German team also gave up the game, both sides replaced the bench, and the final score was also fixed at 82 to 64, the Chinese team won the second victory.
The German team with one win and two losses is not without chance, because the two remaining opponents are Angola and Jordan, which are also the weakest teams in this group. If the German team can win, they The record will also reach three wins and two losses.
...
Under normal circumstances, there is a great probability that two wins can lock a qualifying place, which makes domestic fans excited. Although it is only theoretically ahead of the game, it is a small goal. The next country The team should strive to get the top three to avoid encountering the American team in advance.
In terms of victory and defeat, after defeating the German team, let the Chinese team get the first chance. If they are all three wins and two losses, the Chinese team can be ranked ahead of the German team by virtue of the victory and loss.
The third opponent of the Chinese team is the Serbian men's basketball team.
At that time, Yugoslavia was once the overlord of the world basketball, but today Yugoslavia has even split into six republics, but it still shows strong basketball strength. For example, in this World Championship, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, three former Yugoslavia members, all entered the World Championship.
Serbia is the heir to Yugoslav basketball. This is a more traditional European team. This kind of team often has a center. Sevilla’s main center is Nenad Costic, the Thunder’s starting center last season.
In addition, the core of the Serbian team's backcourt is Milos Teodosic, who has become the "Serbian Golden Boy". His position in the Serbian team is similar to that of Rubio in Spain. Teodosic once participated in the 2009 NBA draft, but lost, and then every summer an NBA team will contact him, but every time he was rejected. It can be said that Teodosic is another top European defender who has not entered the NBA.
In addition, Serbia also plays for the players in the NBA, such as Pavlovich, Radmanovic and Milicic, but these three people, like many NBA players, did not participate in this World Championship.
Although there are fewer tyrants playing in the NBA, Serbia's strength is still very strong, and it is also a team that is considered to have a chance to win the championship.
In order to ensure that Angola can be defeated in the end, the Chinese team once again has reservations in the formation of platoons, neither Zhang Guan nor Dayao played. The Serbian team has done their best, and achieved a 16-9 lead in the first quarter.
There was no suspense in the following three quarters. The Chinese team has never been able to draw the score close, and the talented and tactical team of the Serbian team cannot be defeated by relying solely on "playing chicken blood". Especially when the Serbian team cooperates to play out, it can be said that it is a little more blooming, and every player can score leisurely.
In the end, Teodosic scored 19 points, Kostić had 14 points and 10 rebounds in double-doubles, Wieliczkovic had 15 points, Kasijer had 11 points, Savanovic had 10 points, and Rasic At 10 points, Sevilla scored double figures against six people, showing the Chinese team the strength of their team basketball.
The Chinese team has not been frustrated by losing the game. The focus of the team's game is still on the final game of the group match tomorrow, and the Angola team.
...
On the return bus, coach Deng Huad received a call, and then a light smile appeared on his face. He stood up and said to the team members: "Gentlemen, I have good news for you. Angola defeated the German team 92 to 88 and 4 points!"
"Oh?" Everyone showed a surprised look. Everyone knows that Angola has always been a weak team, but the German team can win the strong team of Serbia, but did not expect a contest between the two. The final winner is the Angola team.
Just listen to Deng Huade then said: "In this way, the Angola team is two wins and two losses, the German team is one win and three losses, we are also two wins and two losses, based on the win-loss relationship, even if the German team finally won the Jordan team, It can only be ranked after us and Angola, that is to say, the German team has already determined to be eliminated, and we have also locked up the quota for promotion to the knockout! Tomorrow our game between Angola and the win will be the third in the group, and the loser will be Become the fourth in the group and play against the first team in Group B!" (Unfinished.)
