Chapter 456: Shop around

The last match of Group B between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the Australian Men's Basketball Team was the most focused battle in the group stage.
But this time the Western media learned well before the game, and there is no more madness of the Australian team that has lost all four games. For a time, only the Australian media is fighting alone.
There is a reason why the Western media is not optimistic about Australia. The two teams have played against each other four times. Not only did Australia not win a game, but also lost to the Chinese team by 20 points per game in four games. The appearance of winning.
Naturally, the Chinese team will not underestimate the enemy because of this. Ruda was also in the team's coaching staff during the usual final pre-war discussion the night before the game.
This is also the tradition of the Chinese men's basketball team in recent years. The team captain needs to participate in the discussion the night before the game.
Of course, Ruda will not be like Wu Jie when he was in the national football team. He usually only makes supplementary suggestions. In short, he will not make the coaches feel embarrassed.
But this time Ruda has made suggestions for tomorrow's starting lineup and even how to play.
He hopes that Ma Donglong can start the game tomorrow and get more opportunities to show himself. To put it bluntly, he wants Ma Donglong to act as an offensive core.
Qian Chenghai was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly adopted Ruda's suggestion because he also had the idea of ​​starting Ma Donglong in his heart, but he was not as extreme as Ruda, and he actually wanted Ma Donglong to be the protagonist.
However, it is understandable that before the tournament started, Australia began to hype the two centers of the same height and age due to each other. This would make them reasonable to give Ma Donglong enough support.
And this is also the biggest highlight of this game. Ma Donglong and Luc Langley are indeed too alike at first glance. Not only are they similar in height and weight, they are also 16-year-old U19 members in their own country. The same age has joined their respective national teams, so it looks a bit like a comic.
The Australian media used "old rivals" to warm up the game before the game. Many NBA scouts are also preparing to see these two young high centers. Who is better?
"Old enemy?" After hearing the words of an Australian reporter at the pre-match press conference the next day, Ruda grabbed the microphone in front of Ma Donglong and said with disdain: "If there are some gaps that you can't even see, then The distance is no longer able to make up!"
Ruda's faceless slaps caused an uproar at the press conference. In particular, the Australian media was furious and stood up to protest!
Upon seeing this, Wu Jie picked up the microphone and said, "Don’t mind everyone. My two teammates are a fool and a dumb. He actually wants to say that even if there is a huge gap between 1 and 10, if If they can increase a hundred times at the same time, the difference between 110 and 101 is just one completion."
The Australian journalists' expressions were a little slow when they heard this, but they all reacted as soon as they sat down-don't you say that Ma Donglong and Lang Li have a ten-fold difference in talent?
These Australian reporters immediately raised their hands to counterattack, but the Chinese team stopped talking to the Australian reporters at all and ended the press conference before long.
When Wu Jie saw the Australian reporter who was jumping with anger, he felt very comfortable: I directly closed the dialogue door, and asked if you were angry!
This is still a question, but soon not only was the Australian journalist glared with anger, but the Australian players were also furious by the lack of popularity of the Chinese team.
However, the outrage has been filled for a long time. The hearts of Australian players are actually not as strong as they appear to be on their lips. Who made them really never beat the Chinese team.
The Chinese team is obviously a different style of painting. Ruda is right in front of the whole team and said to Ma Donglong: "Little horse, those foreigners say that you and Langli are equal, and you will meet Liangcai. I think it’s still yourself. Let’s talk about it, how are you going to concoct that soft Australian today?"
It was obvious that Ma Donglong had committed another social disorder. He moved his lips for a long time, but he didn't let out a fart for a long time. In the end, he just raised his hand and extended his in response.
The players in the locker room laughed when they saw it. Everyone has adapted to the character of Ma Donglong. Don't think he talks less than farts, but everything is clear in his mind.
Wu Jie finds this contrast more interesting. A person with severe social phobia is actually the father of the Internet who truly connects billions of people around the world, and the greatest pioneer of artificial intelligence. This hearing is full of legends. Color, in the computer field in the future, is likely to be more respected than Lin Yaodong.
But to keep abreast of Lin Yaodong, these achievements are still slightly insufficient, so Wu Jie intends to let Ma Donglong get the "World Wide Web Project", first invent "instant messaging" and "Internet search engine", and then create "online shopping model" and "digital". Payment system" has become a true godfather of the Internet.
At this moment, the future dumb godfather does not know that he has taken on multiple responsibilities. He now only wants to kill the Australian center who dared to compare with him.
...
One hour later, the two strongest teams in the Asian division finally stood on the stage of the final battle of the group.
During the warm-up stage before the game, the Australian team was obviously a little nervous, and the corresponding Chinese team was obviously relaxed.
Of the 13,000 spectators who came to the scene today, at least 10,000 are still their supporters, and the atmosphere of the entire arena has become the home of the Chinese team.
This home-like atmosphere quickly swelled the desire of the young Chinese players to perform. The youngest Zhang Xiaorui couldn't help but dunk with a windmill, which immediately detonated the already high enthusiasm of the fans.
The 17-year-old Zhang Xiaorui is tall with long arms, agile feet, and outstanding jumping. He can be regarded as an enhanced Kirilenko or a low-profile version of Durant.
Some clues can be seen from his dunk just now. Although he lacks strength due to his age and his jumping height is not top, his airborne limbs are very stretchable and his posture is elegant. It still looks quite pleasing to the eye.
Wu Jie clapped his hands in the distance, with a look of pride on his face, because no one but him knew that Zhang Xiaorui, the new star with the worst ability value of the Chinese team, would be the third highest ability value of the team if he moved to Australia. The players.
After Zhang Xiaorui, the youngest member of the Chinese team, dunked one, Yuan Feihu couldn't help his desire to express himself. He directly came to a more difficult 360-degree turn and dunked both hands!
Yuan Feihu's buckle once again ignited the scene and terrified the NBA scouts on the scene.
His buckle is obviously much better than Zhang Xiaorui. Not only did he show his brutal jumping ability, he was full of violent and aesthetic power, but he also had a difficult movement of bowing backwards, which meant that Yuan Feihu paid more attention to strength. There is no lack of a trace of toughness, and the quality of the entire dunk is even enough to get the dunk contest.
However, the dunk performance of the Chinese team is not over yet. Liu Jingdong saw two teammates go up to show off. He couldn't help feeling restless again, and rushed to perform a "draw bar" that was really prepared for the "slam dunk contest." Turn around dunking"!
Liu Jingdong’s slam dunk is even more difficult than Yuan Feihu’s, because the dunk after the lever turned around is a backhand. The entire dunk process is not only very tense but full of power, and the air posture is more elegant than Yuan Feihu’s. This shows that he Body control in stagnant air is better.
"I'm stupid, is this a dunk contest?"
"Who will tell me who are all these flying around? How come I don't know any of them? Is the level of Chinese basketball already so high?"
"I bet that as long as these three little guys participate in the NBA draft, everyone can be selected in the top three."
"Wait, what about the Australians? Aren't they going to deduct one?"
"..."
The three dunks of the Chinese team not only detonated the emotions of the fans on the spot, but the audience who had just turned on the TV in front of the TV also climaxed as soon as they came up.
But after being extremely comfortable, everyone naturally turned their attention to the Australian players, and no one shouted in English anymore.
At this time, the Australian players were a little pale, and their morale plummeted before the game started.
They also went up to deduct two?
That's a joke!
Although this Australian team has a few black players, at most they can play some uncomplicated dunks. After all, they are all Xiaoxiao who can't play in the NBA.
Who wants them to compete with those Chinese who seem to be participating in the "slam dunk contest", unless the basket is lowered by 20 centimeters.
Australia was reduced by a large wave of morale before the war, which would have been very injured.
But when the two sides retired from the bench, the Australian players were shocked to find that all the three Chinese players who had come out of the limelight had all gone.
This scene is not harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
The morale of the Australian team is again -50%, which is basically negative.
At this moment, even the Australian audience can't help but think: such a powerful player is only a substitute, so their starting line can not take off?
If the Australians can see the abilities of both sides (under FIBA ​​rules) like Wu Jie, then the little remaining will to fight may not exist.
The Chinese team starts-
Center: Ma Donglong (85): 2.17 meters, 100 kg, 1969.
Power forward: Ruda (99++++): 2.06 meters, 115 kg, 1964.
Small forward: Zhang Jixian (83): 1.95 meters, 91 kg, 1965.
Shooting guard: Zhang Yongjun (84): 1.93 meters, 90 kg, 1962.
Point guard: Wu Jie (87-97): 1.90 meters, 93 kg, 1963.
Australia team starting-
Center: Luke Longley (70): 2.18 meters, 102 kg, 1969.
Power forward: Mark Bradke (73): 2.08 meters, 105 kg, 1967.
Small forward: Tony Frakhov (77): 2.03 meters, 98 kg, 1963.
Shooting guard: Andrew Gates (80): 2.01 meters, 95 kg, 1965.
Point guard: Steven Daimler (78): 1.86 meters, 80 kg, 1962.
Compared with those Asian teams that rarely have more than 70 abilities, the overall strength of the Australian men’s basketball team is indeed higher than that, and they are not too old, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped. Not only is it worthy of their world No. 6 ranking, but also in line with it. Originally the fourth strength in the Seoul Olympics.
Wu Jie pays more attention to Andrew Gates, Mark Bradke, and Luke Longley among the five, because they are all players who joined the NBA soon, although only Luke Longley can stand in the NBA. Feet, but considering that the NBA of this era is extremely unfriendly to international players, this lineup of the Australian team does have certain potential.
But this potential is nothing compared to the Chinese team.
The Chinese team's starting lineup, even the worst Zhang Jixian is enough to go to Australia as a thigh.
Andrew Gates was originally a household basketball star in Australia, but he went to the NBA three times in a row at his peak, but he failed.
Americans don't pay much attention to such a mediocre athletic ability. Only under the rules of international basketball can they show a high level of white players.
But Zhang Jixian, who is the same age, was selected by the NBA team as early as a year ago, and he was willing to wait a few years after the election. This kind of treatment is enough to make Andrew Gates directly autistic.
As for Luke Longley, who is highly expected by Australia, he has a certain talent, otherwise he would not be a member of the Bulls Dynasty.
If this kind of dynasty team wants to get in, it is a fantasy. Langley looks like a just because the teammates around him, especially the opponents, are so good.
But having said that, how could his opponent today be like this?
When the two sides started the match, Langley looked at Ma Donglong, who might become his life's enemy in front of him, without any fear in his heart, instead he looked eager to try.
This is naturally because he has not played against Ma Donglong. In the U19 World Youth Championship last year, the Australian team was eliminated by the Soviets before they met the Chinese team.
The Australian media believed that he was equal to Ma Donglong. The main reason was that Australia U19 played against the United States U19 in the group stage. Langley's performance at that time was remarkable, even in the game that was eliminated by the Soviet U19.
But the problem is that you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods!
The Australian media deliberately avoided that when Ma Donglong encountered these two teams at the time, it was not only an outstanding performance, but an insider big devil, who turned the restricted area into the opponent's no-fly zone alone, which was completely a dominant play. The key is that he also helped his team win the final victory.
At this moment, the two are standing together, in fact, just by looking at the static contrast of the body, they can judge each other.
Ma Donglong and Lang Li are both 18 years old, their height and weight are almost the same, but their skeletons and muscles do not need to be judged by professionals. Even pseudo-fans can see Ma Donglong whose bones are surprising at a glance. No matter what, they are much pleasing to the eye.
The fact is true. Although the height and weight of the two are similar, Ma Donglong has a perfect head-to-shoulder ratio, long Achilles arm span and big hands. At present, there is not much flesh but the contours of the muscles are extremely delicate.
Now let’s look at Langley... well, actually, you don’t need to watch it, it’s more intuitive to watch the game directly...
At this time, in the middle of the court, the referee just threw the basketball up, but Lang Li hadn’t reacted yet. Ma Donglong had already jumped up like a thunder on a dry land. A pair of big hands that were about to catch up with Wu Jie’s length gave the basketball a shot. Flew to the half of the Chinese team, and at this time Langley was just 20 centimeters off the ground.
In the first round, the competition between the two of them on the bounce can be said to be completely incomparable. The gap is so big that it is like a chasm, and only looking up.
After Ma Donglong landed, he accelerated and ran to the front. Although he didn't say anything, he was already suffocated in his heart, and he was ready to greet Langli.
The tactics of the Chinese team today are also different from the past. Everyone needs to revolve around Ma Donglong. To put it bluntly, it is to attack with him as the core. He is the protagonist today.
But this does not mean that the Chinese team cannot play fast breaks. After all, even Langley before gaining weight has good maneuverability, and Ma Donglong is not even slower than the opponent's small forward.
Tony Frakhov looked at Ma Donglong who was overtaking from his side with a look of horror, because he was already speeding up the sprint, the guest was still rushed to the basket by Ma Donglong first.
As for Langley, he didn't know where he was dumped.
When Ma Donglong rushed to the basket, Wu Jie's pass also arrived. Unfortunately, the too fast sprint speed made him unable to carry the air relay, so he could only take the ball first.
This gave Bradk and Frakhov a chance to rush to the basket to defend, but before they could stand firm, Ma Donglong had already pulled the onions on the ground and completed a strong move that made the Australian players too late to react. Dunk!
"My God, his bullet speed is too fast, right?"
"I'm a little confused. Didn't you say that the bounce of the yellow race is the worst in the world?"
"Seven feet two inches tall, and such a terrifying bounce, I have begun to sympathize with Langley."
"..."
Audiences from all over the world were dumbfounded by Ma Donglong’s violent click. Langley and his teammates had similar expressions. At this time, Australian players on and off the court had no choice but to look at Ma Donglong who had just raged on his own basket. At this moment, self-confidence is on a downward trend again.
At this time, the only way to restore morale is to pay a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and Langley must return the color.
The Chinese team retired very quickly, they were ready, and even guessed that the Australian team will play inside this attack, and it will most likely allow Langley to complete the end.
This is not hard to guess, but the process is really hard to guess.
But this is still not a problem for the Chinese team. Because of the technical characteristics and playing style of Australia's three strongest players, there are also three people on the Chinese team who are very clear.
Langley, who is just 18 years old now, is naturally much more flexible than the Bulls, but even at the peak of Langley, the offensive end is the cut into the basket after the screen and the unstable mid-range shot. UU reading www.uukanshu. As for com's one-on-one face-to-face offense, or low-post back attack, this kind of stuff has never had in his entire career.
So how to defend is simple, as long as he gets stuck in the route to the basket without the ball, and does not give him a chance to take a mid-range shot, Langley has no way to score at this time.
How could Langley think that his old bottom was clearly touched, he relied on his height and fairly flexible footsteps, originally intended to cut into the basket to complete the offense after a high position screen.
But the problem is that Ma Donglong’s footsteps are much faster and more flexible than him. The most sinister thing is that Wu Jieming has the opportunity to block the pass of the opposing point guard, and Ruda also has the opportunity to double-team at the basket, but they let the ball pass. Go in, and the other one stands in the distance watching the show and does not double-team.
So when Langley cut into the penalty area as planned and received the pass, he comfortably cut into the basket with two smooth steps, and then shot the ball with a smooth layup...
"Yes!"
Langley smiled in his heart, not knowing that there was a huge pair of giant palms behind him that seemed to cover everything, and then he sent the first one, and grabbed the basketball he had just left...
