Pen Fun Club EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the all-round athlete!
The World Basketball Championships are far less focused than in previous years, and even have a taste of tasteless taste. NBA superstars such as Kobe and James collectively "quit" the World Championships, and the core players of Parker, Nowitzki and other national teams did not participate in the World Championships for various reasons. Without stars, there is naturally no motivation for attraction.
Professional basketball clubs have always been very resistant to the World Championships, especially the teams in the NBA in the United States, which had already dealt with more than 80 regular seasons in a season, which has made the players very tired. If you add the playoffs, Even the players with super physical fitness will feel exhausted physically and mentally, and in order to make the stars play in the best season for the new season, and to avoid star injuries, the NBA team requires international players not to participate in the World Championships, has become the NBA An unspoken rule inside.
The club can provide players with generous wages, compared with the patriotic enthusiasm and desire for victory. Foreigners have not always paid much attention to "dedication", and the Chinese have passed the age of "dedication". There is nothing like the colorful banknotes given by the club and the series of "zeros" on the bank account to give players a sense of security. It is also understandable that the so-called lord of food is worried about the king. It is understandable that athletes took the club's money and spent all their thoughts in the league.
Under the pressure of reality, this World Championship is like the Lu cuisine without salt, and the Sichuan cuisine without spicy, but tasteless. Even the American Dream Nine team has no top NBA superstar.
In fact, this Dream Nine team is not without top stars. If you put it in three years, you can find several NBA superstars. At least the three names of Durant, Curry and Westbrook are the representatives of the future NBA; moreover, Rose has grown into a first-line point guard in the NBA; second-year Love is about to start his own next season. "Data brushing trip"; veteran Billups can bring enough experience to the team; Odom has not been scrapped by Kardashian; Granger has just played his most comprehensive season; Chand Le and Iguodala can make the team's defense tougher; Rudy Gay and Eric Gordon are also a good firepower supplement for the team's backcourt.
But it is a pity that it is only 2010. These future superstars are still wearing green. The whole team, only three people have been selected for the All-Star, Billups, Durant and Rose, and They are all substitutes. Durant, who has just won the "scoring king" in the NBA, has become the tactical core of the Dream Nine.
As a result, this Dream Nine team is generally underestimated. Neither the US nor the European and American media are optimistic about the performance of the Dream Nine team in the World Championships.

The group stage of the Turkish Men's Basketball World Championships was conducted separately in four cities, with Group A in Kayseri, Group B in Istanbul, Group C in Ankara, and Group D in Izmir. After entering the knockout, all matches will be held in Istanbul.
The national team is divided into Group A, so it will be held in Kayseri. Kayseri is a city in central Turkey. The population here is not large, and it is not even comparable to some county cities in eastern China, but it is a famous tourist in Turkey. Resort. The Temple of Artemis and the Mausoleum of Mauser are here, in addition to Yalova Hot Springs and Kush Lake, as well as the famous Cappadocia Stone Forest.
After the national team came to Kayseri, they did not care about the scenic spots at all. On the second day of arrival, the national team entered into intense training.
"According to the rules of the World Championships, the top four in each group qualify, the first round of the knockout, Group A first pair B group fourth, Group A second pair B group third, Group A third pair B group second, The fourth in Group A is the first in Group B. The United States team is divided into Group B, and the United States team also has Slovenia, Brazil, Croatia, Iran and Tunisia, so the first qualifying of the United States team should be sure. Coach Deng Huad said, raised his head, and then said: "If we want to go further in the knockout, we must not get the fourth in Group A, otherwise we will have to meet the US team. "
Everyone nodded, and no team hoped to meet the US team before the final.
"Of the Group A we are in, the most powerful is undoubtedly the Argentine team. Among the latest world rankings given by the FIBA, the Argentine team beat the United States team and became the world's number one. Although this time Ginobili did not play, but they still have Scola and Delfino players in the NBA, and their strength is still strong. The Serbia team has grown strongly in the past two years. After all, their predecessor is a Yugoslav male. The basketball, once the overlord of the international basketball arena, recovery is normal, they also ranked fourth in the latest issue of the world ranking." Coach Deng Huad said here, looked at everyone, and then said: "It can be said that we want to It is very difficult to get a win on Argentina and Serbia."
"If we want to secure the third place, we must defeat the German team, Angola team and Jordan team, the most important thing is the game with the German team. Nowitzki also did not participate in this year's World Championships, so We have a chance to win in Germany. As long as we beat the German team, we have great hopes that we can lock the third place in Group A."
Deng Huade said, took out the schedule, and then said: "Our first game was on August 28, against Jordan, Jordan's overall strength is not as good as us, so this is a good warm-up for us opportunity."
"Our second game is against Argentina on August 30, followed by a back-to-back game on August 31, and the opponent is still Germany, against Germany will be our most important match in the group stage , And the back-to-back schedule is also a big test for us." Deng Huade continued: "Then on September 1st, we have to face the Serbian team, on September 2nd, we have to play Angola . That is to say, from August 30th, we must have a competition for four consecutive days, and you must be mentally prepared."
...
The match between the Chinese team and the Jordan team has not received much attention from the locals, and the game time is the local afternoon. Many people need to work, and there are more Chinese and overseas Chinese in the audience.
"This time Zhang Guan and Dayao came to Turkey. The performance of the Chinese team is really exciting! At the Olympics two years ago, they led the Chinese team to defeat the United States and won the championship. This time maybe Can also win the championship!"
"Championship is probably not possible. Dayao has undergone such a big operation and has been cultivating. He has not played for several months. Zhang Guan is even more outrageous. The last time he appeared on the basketball court was the Olympics two years ago. I don’t know how much strength the two of them have left. I think it’s better to rely on the United Arab Emirates than relying on them.

"I don't think the possibility of a championship is great. Although the American Dream Nine team is not optimistic, Durant is anyway the NBA scoring champion last season, and there are Spain and Argentina. The Chinese team can get a medal. Even a very good result."
"Anyway, Jordan is a weak team, perhaps the weakest of the 24 teams. Today's game, there should be no suspense for the Chinese team to win!"
The Jordan team is participating in the World Championship for the first time. They obtained the ticket for the World Championship by virtue of the third place in the Asian Championship. Speaking of overall strength, the Jordan team is naturally not as good as the Chinese team. In terms of height, the Jordan team is more disadvantaged. The team's tallest center, Zaid Akas, is only 2.08 meters, facing only China's tall insiders. In addition to Akas, the Jordan team has only two people with a height of 2.05 meters. It is no exaggeration to say that the small forward of the Chinese team can compete with the Jordan center.
However, Jordan's backcourt strength is stronger than the Chinese team, because the Jordan team has an American naturalized player Rahim White.
Rahim White was born in the United States, and later naturalized to Jordan, is the Jordan's number one scorer and tactical core. He is 191 cm tall and weighs 95 kg. He can be said to be a very strong defender. He was once the top scorer at the University of the District of Columbia, and he is also a popular figure in the NCAA second-level league. In the 2009 Asian Championships, White once caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese team, it can be said that the Chinese team's backcourt players were exploded. White's most offensive weapon is after the ball is broken, and is good at anti-blue on the drawbar, which can effectively prevent the blocking of inside players, and the strong body is very lethal for the defender. But his shooting ability is very general, even the free throw percentage can only be regarded as barely qualified. It can be said that White is a typical American guard. And this kind of American defender, even if it is not ranked in the United States, but it can indeed win the Chinese defender.
In addition to White, Jordan’s vanguard Said Abbas is also familiar to Chinese fans because he is an Asian foreign aid in the CBA league and has entered the starting lineup of the CBA All-Star Game in the future. Due to CBA regulations, only the top five teams in the league can introduce foreign aid from Asia, so Abbas has been playing in the weak team in the CBA, but which team he joins will be in the playoffs, but the rules Forced, he can only join another bottom five teams, so his CBA career is to change a team every year. Since 2009, Abbas has helped Shanghai, Beijing, Fujian, Shandong, Tianjin and other teams to enter the playoffs, which is also known as "Abbas's Law".
In addition to these two people, Jordan team is difficult to find the third scoring point, and for the Chinese team, as long as they can clamp the two people, it is equivalent to control the entire game.
In fact, meeting the Chinese team in the first game is not good news for the Jordan team. The world does not understand Jordan’s men’s basketball team. If they are replaced by other opponents, they do not know the Jordan’s tactical arrangements or the characteristics of Jordan’s players. Jordan can use this to catch opponents by surprise.
However, the Chinese team and the Jordan team are both Asian teams. They have fought many times against each other, and they are more familiar with their respective players. Even if the Jordan team uses some surprise tactics, it will not have any effect. But what's worse is that in the first game, Jordan's player characteristics and tactical arrangements will be fully exposed. When other teams meet the Jordan team again, they can also make targeted adjustments and arrangements.
A similar situation is very common in sports games. The most recent example is the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The North Korean team played against Brazil for the first time, and eventually lost 1-2. In the face of Brazil, they only lost one goal and they can score one goal. The big reason is that the Brazilian team at the time did not understand North Korea. But in the second game, the North Korean team was crushed 0-7 by Portugal. Is Portugal better than Brazil? The answer is definitely not. The North Korea-Brazil game exposed tactics and exposed the characteristics of the players. For Portugal, as long as the following is slightly targeted, it can easily crush North Korea.
...
In this game, the five players starting from the Chinese team are roughly, United, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue and Liu Wei. Both Zhang Guan and Dayao were sitting on the bench and had no plans to play, which made many fans on the scene feel quite disappointed.
The Jordan team also felt the punch. In the preparations before the game, most of the preparations for the Jordan team were directed at Zhang Guan and Dayao. After all, the two were the "dual core" of the Chinese team. The Jordan team prepared various tactics to deal with the two. . But the two didn't start, and Jordan wasted a lot of preparation before the game.
The head coach of Jordan, Palma, looked very ugly, and his preparation before the game did not work. The two main forces of the Chinese team Xuezang are also deliberately retaining their strength, which gives Palma a sense of being despised.
Since both sides knew each other well, there was not much temptation, and the game was done right from the start. The Chinese team relied on the inside to score consecutively and scored roughly with the inside duo of the United Arab Emirates. The Jordan team also used White as the main attack. Last year's Asian Championships, White caused a lot of trouble to the Chinese team. So at the World Championships, Coach Palma reinvented his skills and prepared to continue to play White's strengths.
White's memory of the Chinese team still remained in last year's Asian Championship. At that time, he alone upset the Chinese team's outside players. When Sun Yue was sent off for five offences, Wang Shipeng also carried four fouls, but he still could not To prevent White from getting what he wants, today White is ready to replicate last year's successful experience, but soon, White found that his tricks are not as smart as last year, and the Chinese team's defense is much tougher than last year.
Although Deng Huade's tactical level is not clever, but the "playing chicken blood" strategy is immediate for the improvement of the national team's defense, especially in the first game, the players' physical fitness is relatively abundant, even if they are roughly Liu Wei is also very defensive, which greatly limits White's personal ability and makes his ball breakthrough frequently blocked.
The other core Abbas of the Jordan team is not in shape today.
Abbas playing in the CBA is very familiar with Chinese players, so no matter who he is facing, he will feel at ease, except for the three people of Dayao, Zhang Guan and Arab League, because these three people have not played in the CBA . In the game, Abbas, the Jordanian power forward, directly faced the United.
Abbas and the United League once played in the Asian Championship last year, but now the United League is after all mixed with the NBA. Growth in the NBA and growth in the CBA are completely two concepts, especially young players. In one year, the NBA seems to have completely changed individuals, and the one-year-old League is more mature and stable than last year. Because of this, Abbas did not play his normal level in the face of the Arab League, especially the second rebound, was completely suppressed by the Arab League.
In the first quarter, the Chinese team led 21-14 with 7 points. After the second quarter, the Chinese team replaced a few young people, and the effect of "playing chicken blood" was more obvious. Although the young players also made several mistakes, they still kept the gap. At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led Jordan by 10 points, 41-31.
After the second half started, the scores of the two sides always hovered around 10 points. White's offense was blocked, Abbas could not play, and the game began to become unsustainable. By the last two minutes, the eight-point gap also let the Jordan team know that the game was powerless.
The score was finally fixed at 81-73, the Chinese team beat the first opponent without fear. (To be continued.)
