If not for the next game, Zhang Guan will really shoot this "Basketball Vision".
However, Zhang Guan decided to make a trailer first, just like Will Smith's spoof trailer. A trailer in groups of three and four doesn't cost much, but the irony inside is enough to make the FIBA ​​disgusting for a long time.
Although Zhang Guan knows nothing about making movies, as long as he is rich, he can naturally find someone who knows what to do. There are countless screenwriters and directors in Hollywood, as well as hundreds of independent film production companies. As long as they are willing to pay, the film production company can provide a one-stop service. The screenwriter, director, film production team, and even the final release, It can be done easily.
Thinking of this, Zhang Guan dialed Zhuge Wenbo's phone. Zhuge Wenbo used to work in the CAA in the United States, and he is also well-connected in Hollywood's entertainment industry. It is perfectly appropriate for him to contact this kind of thing.
After finishing the conversation with Zhuge Wenbo, Zhang Guan paid attention to the situation of the other quarter-finals.
In the second half, the United States defeated Russia without suspense and advanced to the semifinals; while the Lithuanian team eliminated Argentina by a large score and will face the United States team in the semifinals.
The Chinese team who is in the work zone, another semi-final place belongs to Serbia, they defeated Spain and advanced to the semifinals.
Although this year's Spanish team does not have Gasol, but the strength is not weaker than two years ago, even stronger. Because the small Gasol, Rubio and Fernandez in the starting lineup have achieved great growth after two years of experience, Gasol has become the absolute main force of the Grizzlies and Fernandes has also become a trailblazer lineup An indispensable member, Rubio will officially land in the NBA next year. In addition, there are two players who have played in the NBA, Gabayosa and Navarro. It can be said that the Spanish team is the team with the most NBA players besides the United States.
Compared with the traditional European strong teams, this time the Spanish team is more inclined to American style of basketball, which also represents the new trend of European basketball, and the Serbian men’s basketball team, as the successor of Yugoslavia, has been the holder of the European team. Traditional style of play, so this game can be seen as a collision between the emerging style of European basketball and the traditional style of play.
In the end, Serbia defeated the Spanish team 92 to 89, and successfully obtained the promotion. In this contest of Europe's top team, the Serbia team still laughed at the end. Teodosic made a 3-pointer in the 3.1 seconds before the end of the game. Help the Serbian team to win the final victory.
Serbia also became the opponent of the Chinese team in the semifinals.
...
The FIBA ​​tournament officers sat in the conference room, each with a dignified expression, as if encountering a huge crisis.
"Making a movie? Zhang Guan may just talk about it. We don't have to be too nervous. He is just an athlete. Making a movie is an actor's thing. Zhang Guan should not be unemployed." A balding man said.
"It is because he is Zhang Guan, so he will not do his business!" A thin man with glasses next to him immediately objected: "If Zhang Guan is the kind of person who keeps his peace, he must still be running down the track and field Dash, how could it appear here! Don’t forget how many different projects he has tried now."
"Besides, the referee's punishment was indeed very unfair to the Chinese team." Another tournament official said immediately: "Although it was our acquiescence, there were several obvious misjudgments. If Zhang Guan took this If things are hyped, they are very passive to us."
"What are you afraid of? He is just an athlete. We warn him that he will surely converge! Will he dare to fight our FIBA ​​alone?" The bald man said disdainfully.
"He's so dare! Don't forget Sebastian, the president of the IAAF, who was disgraced by Zhang Guannao two years ago. Moreover, he is more than a basketball player, and even if we use punishment, It’s limited to basketball.
The skinny man continued:
We can’t prohibit him from participating in sports other than basketball, such as track and field, tennis, racing, boxing, and ice sports! He is still the focus of the media, and we will Passive forever."
"Then what should we do? Investigate the referees involved in the world? Blow the black whistle to help the home team advance? That would be a scandal, and it would be very unfavorable to us." The balding man said.
"But on this matter, if we want Zhang Guan to stop, we must give the Chinese team an explanation." The spectacled man sighed, and then said: "It should not have been agreed to the conditions of the Turkish men's basketball team, otherwise it will not There is so much trouble."
"We promised Turkey, we also hope that the World Championships can be better, they are the host. But they do not fight, even with the help of the referee, still can not beat the Chinese team, then we can't blame us." Booth: "I don't think so. In the next match between the Chinese team and Serbia, let the referee help the Chinese team, so it won't be even!"
"Good idea!" The thin man of glasses nodded his support immediately: "In the match against Turkey, the referee's misjudgment caused the Chinese team to suffer losses. In the next game, we will let the Chinese team be the beneficiary of the referee's misjudgment. In this way, the Chinese team itself has taken advantage of the referee's misjudgment, so it can't use the misjudgment to talk about things."
"Wouldn't it be necessary to sacrifice the Serbian team? In case the Chinese team really entered the final with the help of the referee, will the Serbian team be unwilling to be reconciled?" Someone immediately said, "We are correcting this with a mistake error!"
"How many people are there in Serbia? How many people are there in China? From a market perspective, it is more beneficial for us to enter the finals. Moreover, in the second half, the US team must be in the finals. We can play again early. The American War! Did you forget the Olympic Games two years ago, did the final finals also be a Sino-U.S. war? How many topics did that game create! How much revenue did we get." The thin man raised his glasses and said.
"That's right, if the final is another Sino-US battle, it will be the revenge of the American team, which sounds full of gimmicks! Such a game will surely attract the attention of the world." At this moment, I agreed.
"At the same time we can also block the mouth of the Chinese team..."
...
The Chinese team and the Serbian team once played in the group stage. When neither Zhang Guan nor Dayao played, the Serbian team won the game without suspense. Therefore, within the Serbian team, whether it is a coach or a player, There is a contempt for the Chinese team.
Especially after defeating the Spanish team, the Serbian team's originally tense nerves relaxed instantly, so on the game day of the semifinals, the Serbian team was still in a sleepwalking state.
In this game, the Serbian team did not send Kostic as the starting center, because Kostic is only 2.13 meters, facing the big Yao is too bad, Serbia put Perovic on the court. Perovic, who used to watch water dispensers at the Golden State Warriors, is 2 meters and 18 meters tall, and has relatively few losses.
Even so, Serbia's inside line was still blasted by Dayao. Perovic had two fouls in the first five minutes of the first quarter and had to take a break. Kostic, who subsequently played, was also unable to stop Dayao from raging inside.
In the first quarter, the Chinese team scored 20 points, which was a satisfactory score. The Serbia team had a bad feel and only scored 11 points.
The Serbian coach Ivkovic shook his head in dissatisfaction. He can see that the Serbia has not yet entered the state of the game. In the face of an opponent who easily defeated in the group stage, his heart will be underestimated. Sleepwalking at the beginning of the game is a very common phenomenon.
After the start of the second quarter, the Serbian team slowly began to enter the state, Zhang Guan also took over the game at this time. European defenders are inherently weak in physical confrontation, so many European defenders will be unacceptable in the NBA. If there is no joint defense, European teams have long been sifted by the muscle sticks of the US team. In fact, as the physical qualities of American players are getting better and better, the metamorphosis of the devil muscles makes the defense of European teams increasingly pale, that is, they can bully Asian teams like China.
However, there is Zhang Guan in the Chinese team today.
Zhang Guan no longer hides his shooting ability. His offensive methods are no longer limited to breakthroughs. Emergency stop jumpers have become his most frequently used scoring method. The defense of the Serbian team has also been torn by the Chinese team time and time again.
At the end of the halftime game, instead of chasing the score, the Serbian team trailed by 12 points 30 to 42.
...
In the dressing room, Teodosic's face was confused.
"Is this really the Chinese team? How is it completely different from the last time? The last time they played, their defenders could not break through our joint defense, but this time, our defense line was like paper in front of Zhang Guan. It’s just as fragile! I think it’s playing two different teams! It’s only ten days away from that group match. How could the Chinese team change so much?

Not far away, coach Ivkovic is also carefully checking the first half of the data.
"Zhang Guan's offensive ability is really strong. This is the first half. He has scored 18 points, which is almost half of the Chinese team's score. And his scoring efficiency is still very high, only missed. Three goals were scored. In the second half of the game, we have to focus on Zhang Guan as the target of marking." Ivkovic continued to look at the statistics.
"Rasic also made two offenses. I remember one of them was a misjudgment by the referee. There was also a time when Costic was beaten by the Chinese team and the referee stood beside him and did not play. The referee at the World Championships is really not professional enough. There are always misjudgments." Ivkovic shook his head, not paying much attention to these details. In his view, the player's recovery as soon as possible is the most important.
Starting in the second half, the feel of the Serbian team has improved significantly.
"Teodosic, a three-pointer! The goal scored! 33 to 42, the Serbian team reduced the score to less than 10 points!"
"The Chinese team missed the pass, Rasic, fast break, direct three-pointers! Enter! 36 to 42, now there is only a six-point gap between the two sides!"
Just one minute into the second half of the game, Serbia even chased six points. At this time, the morale of the entire Serbian team has also improved.
United shot missed, Willitzkovic jumped violently, grabbed the rebound, then tossed the ball to the nearest Rasic, and Rasic rushed forward without hesitation.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded, punishing Rasic for walking.
"Rasic has stepped? Probably because the footsteps slipped a little bit when he first started! This situation is generally not foul. It seems that today's referee enforcement is strict." The commentator said.
Rasic was quite unwilling to throw the ball to the ground. His footsteps slipped a bit, but it was at the moment when the ball was thrown out. It is said that this cannot be regarded as a walking step, but since the referee has blown the walking step, he has no way.
Coach Ivkovic was quite annoyed. The Serbian team was just about to start, but was stopped by the referee's whistle. It was like a sudden episode of a wonderful TV show that was inserted at the most exciting time. As in the commercials, the emotions that the viewers have been brewing come to an abrupt halt, and if you want to mobilize the emotions again, you need a new brew.
"Slow down!" Dayao shouted at Zhang Guan. Years of experience in the NBA have made Dayao have excellent tactical standards and adaptability, which is enough to make him a commander on the field.
Zhang Guan has already done this. Kobe's experience book not only brings the skills of the game, but also has an accurate judgment of the game, so Zhang Guan also knows when to be fast and when to be slow.
Teodosic looked at Zhang Guan anxiously, but now he feels hot, and he is eager to attack quickly, but Zhang Guan rubs and rubs there again, watching the attack time spent to the end.
With five seconds left, Zhang Guan started to take off; four seconds, Zhang Guan changed direction; three seconds, Zhang Guan changed direction again; two seconds, Zhang Guan jumped to shoot; the last second, the ball scored! A set of actions in one go.
Zhang Guan used a three-pointer to return the color, and the difference between the two sides reached another 9 points. More importantly, this ball also hit the morale of the Serbian team. Serbia, which had just started, seemed to have been poured with cold water, and the anger in his heart had also cooled down a bit.
Coach Deng Huad breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that the Chinese team would encounter a crisis and might even be tied by the Serbian team. But now it seems that the crisis has passed through without any risk.
"Did you feel that today the referee's penalty scale seems to be more biased towards us." Deng Huade whispered to the assistant coach next to him.
"It seems like this, it is completely different from the last game against Turkey. I guess this may be a kind of compensation for us by the IAAF!" the assistant coach whispered.
"Compensation?" Deng Huad nodded suddenly, then he realized that there is a relatively loose referee. For the young players of the Chinese team, it may be a rare exercise opportunity. At least young players can have more mistakes. opportunity.
Thinking of this, Deng Huade waved his hand and called several young players he was very optimistic about, and then started a new "chicken blood education."
...
The Chinese team's lead has doubled to double digits. At this time, Deng Huad chose to replace the main players, let the main players take a rest, replace the young bench players, and adapt to the game.
With a 10-point lead, there is not much pressure on the bench of the Chinese team. The younger the player is, the more relaxed the pressure is, and the better they are able to achieve their level. If the two judges in the group match, they play more actively and more confidently.
The Serbian team was a little bit uncomfortable with this. The two teams had just fought 10 days ago. At that time, the Chinese team's bench was almost suspended. The Serbian team only needs a simpler tactical cooperation to tear China. The team's defense. Today, the young men of the Chinese team seem to have changed people, each running alive, and running without the ball more frequently.
The scores of the two sides rose alternately. In the fourth quarter, the Chinese team still maintained an 8-point lead.
"Zhang Guan, three-pointer, then score! He has already scored 31 points!"
"The U.A. beat Vilitskovic badly. It's a pity that they didn't score, but it caused a foul! Wilitskovic made two free throws."
"Dayao, hook up, yes! 80 to 69, the Chinese team's lead has once again come in double digits!"
The so-called 100-footed worm is dead and not stiff. After all, the Serbian team is the world's top strong team. In the last quarter, Serbia launched a fierce counterattack, and even once approached the score to 5 points, while the Chinese team, several main players Nor did they stop scoring, they still blocked the Serbian team's Jedi counterattack.
"There are still three minutes left, and the 11-point advantage should be able to hold it!" Zhang Guan looked at the scoreboard, and then looked at Dayao around him, frowning with some worry.
Dayao looked very tired. He gasped heavily, his expression was still serious, but the painful expression in his eyes was captured by Zhang Guan sensitively.
"He is supporting!" Zhang Guan realized this.
After all, Dayao has not fully recovered. Since the comeback, he has never played such a high-intensity game. Now he is the end of the crossbow. Perhaps the high-intensity physical confrontation has already made his foot injury a little overwhelming, so he will feel pain.
"You should go to rest!" Zhang Guan said.
"I have three minutes to go." Dayao said.
"We still have the finals! We have to play the US team and we have to win the gold medal. So, you have to go down to rest!" Zhang Guan continued: "It's enough for me to be on the court."
Dayao froze for a moment, then nodded his head. He believed that Zhang Guan could exist and could hold the last three minutes.
The Chinese team requested a timeout, Dayao slowly came to the bench, the team doctor also stepped forward to check Dayao's old injury.
"There are still three minutes left. As long as we persist, we will be able to reach the final!" Deng Huade began to instill in the soul chicken soup for everyone, what to remember the past, grasp the present, and look forward to the future. . As for tactics, Deng Huade only said one thing:
"Give the ball to Zhang Guan!"
...
Deng Huade is now familiar with the ultimate tactics of the Chinese team, and Zhang Guan did not disappoint him.
The sound of the end of the game sounded, and the Serbian team finally lost 79-88.
The Chinese team has reached the finals of the World Championships unprecedentedly. What they have to face is undoubtedly the most powerful American team in the world-Dream Nine! (To be continued.)
